Inelastic hosts as electrodes for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries

Submitted by Kejie Zhao on

Silicon can host a large amount of lithium, making it a promising electrode for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries.  Upon absorbing lithium, silicon swells several times its volume; the deformation often induces large stresses and pulverizes silicon.

Submitted by IOSOnier on

Hello,

We would like to offer you step by step Video Tutorials of IOSO Optimization coupled with Concepts NREC and NUMECA software:

1) http://vimeo.com/16668245 by this we show how easily you can use direct integration capabilities between IOSO and Concepts NREC software to solve optimization tasks in turbomachinery

2) http://vimeo.com/16805244 here we consider IOSO – NUMECA coupled solution on the example of an optimization case study for turbomachinery
