The extension of Li-ion batteries, from portable electronics to hybrid and electric vehicles, is significant. Developing a better understanding of the role of material properties and manipulating the morphology of the particle clusters comprising Li-ion electrodes could lead to potential opportunities for attaining higher performance goals, for which the effect of both material properties and morphology needs to be considered in a physics-based model. In this work, different particle packing arrangements are analyzed for the calculation of effective transport properties and reaction density that appear in the porous-electrode formulation due to the volume-averaging process. Surrogate-based analysis is used to systematically construct and validate reduced-order models for species transport at the particle-electrolyte interface. The low effective solid transport predicted through microscale modeling indicates the effect of packing arrangement and tortuosity, an aspect not captured by the Bruggeman's relation. Particle cluster simulations reveal a Li-ion flux quantitatively different than that predicted by the porous-electrode model due to the variation of overpotential at the microscale. The present study offers a first-step towards integration of the effect of microstructure into a macroscale simulation. (C) 2011 The Electrochemical Society.
