Abstract: This article develops an electromechanical-thermal model for semi-solid-state batteries using Software COMSOL Multi-physics. The battery’s three-dimensional structure is firstly simplified into a one-dimensional electrochemical model (P2D), which combines the solid heat transfer module and the solid mechanics module. The total power consumption of the battery, obtained from the P2D model, is used to calculate the battery temperature and the lithium concentration. Then, stress analysis of the anode active particles is conducted, and the battery temperature is fed back into both the electrochemical and mechanical models. To validate the model, constant current charge/discharge cycling experiments, as well as tests on the basic electrical parameters and temperature of the battery, are conducted. The electromechanical-thermal model developed in this study serves as an effective tool for simulating semi-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, which can predict the battery’s performance under various operating conditions. The simulation results from the numerical model are consistent with experimental data at low charge/discharge rates, while slightly larger discrepancies are observed at high charge/discharge rates, with the accuracy remaining over 90%. Further, the thermal expansion behavior of the batteries with silicon-carbon anodes during the charge-discharge process can be examined using the developed model.
