“…Although the P2D model developed thus far accounts for dissipative phenomena within a cell and is able to predict isothermal electrochemical performance (such as, e.g., voltage response, potential and concentration profiles based on a constant or time-varying current density input), strictly speaking it cannot be used for investigating aging phenomena since it neglects the thermal/electrochemical coupling that arises as a consequence of the temperature depedence of the cell physico-chemical properties (such as, e.g., lithium-ion diffusivities and conductivities and any additional side reaction rates) and the heat generation term in the energy balance equation. (As is well known, the thermal behavior of a lithium-ion cell has a dramatic impact on its cycle life and, in particular, on the initiation of degradation processes [30,54].) Therefore, to date the P2D (as well as more complex multiscale derivative models) has been addressed in a number of studies focused on its coupling to a thermal model [55,56,57,46,58,59,60,61].…”
