BattMo
BattMo is an open source simulation code for continuum modelling of electrochemical devices written in Matlab and Julia
Computational electrochemistry
Computational electrochemistry is a field that employs computer simulations to analyze and predict the behavior of electrochemical systems, finding widespread applications in areas such as battery technology, fuel cells, and electrolysis. As a critical tool, it enables researchers to design and optimize energy storage and conversion devices, playing a pivotal role in advancing sustainable energy solutions for a cleaner and more efficient future.

What do we do?
We develop simulation tools for computational electrochemistry. We aim at closely integrating simulation outputs in the design of new electrochemical systems, in particular Li-ion battery cells.
Our focus is on rapid prototyping, to quickly assimilate models or features that are not covered by existing software, and optimisation using automatic differentiation and adjoint-based methods. Both are expertise of our group.
We work in close collaboration with the Battery technology group at SINTEF Industry which plays a crucial role in orienting the development of our code towards the most relevant research questions from the battery industry.
Our computational models are essentially physic-based. We cover high fidelity (more than 1M degrees of freedom in the system to solve) and multiphysics models (fully coupled thermal simulations). We rely then on an efficient linear preconditioning of the system. Our aim is improve the numerical methods and implementation to improve speed and accuracy
We are core developpers of BattMo, which is an open-source simulator for electro-chemical systems and in particular Li-ion batteries. The code is freely available on github.
