Electrolytes¶

Liquid electrolyte materials used to fill electrode assemblies. The electrolyte fills the pore volume of the assembly plus an overfill percentage.

electrolyte = ocd.Electrolyte(
    name="1M LiPF6 in EC:DMC (1:1)",
    density=1.2, specific_cost=15.0, color="#00FF00",
)

Classes¶

Electrolyte ¶

Electrolyte(name: str, density: float, specific_cost: float, color: str = '#2c2c2c', *, volume=None, mass=None, **kwargs)

Bases: _VolumedMaterialMixin, _Material

Liquid electrolyte material used to fill battery cells.

The electrolyte fills the pore volume of the electrode assembly and separator. Volume and mass ranges are set dynamically based on the pore volume of the assembly via _set_ranges_from_pore_volume.

Initialize an electrolyte material.

Parameters¶

name : str Name of the electrolyte (e.g., "1M LiPF6 in EC:DMC (1:1)"). density : float Density of the electrolyte in g/cm³. specific_cost : float Specific cost of the electrolyte in $/kg. color : str, optional Hex color string for visualization (default: "#2c2c2c"). volume : float or None, optional Initial volume in cm³. mass : float or None, optional Initial mass in g.

Attributes¶

volume_range `property` ¶

volume_range: Tuple[float, float]

Get the allowable electrolyte volume range in cm³.

mass_range `property` ¶

mass_range: Tuple[float, float]

Get the allowable electrolyte mass range in g.
