📅 Date: 2 July 2025
⏰ Time: 14:00 – 15:40 CET
14:00 – 14:10 | Welcome & Introduction - David David (Capgemini)
Overview of the EQUALITY project's mission to develop quantum algorithms for strategic industrial problems.
14:10 – 14:40 | Session 1: Atomistic modeling of electrode materials for battery and fuel cell applications – Andreas Zienert (Fraunhofer ENAS)
We present our computational results in atomistic modeling for battery and fuel cell applications, focusing on electrodes of Li-S battery and solid oxide fuel cells. For the battery study, we analyzed the electrochemical reactions on the cathode and the adsorption and precipitation behavior of Li2Sx on the anode. In the context of the fuel cells, we studied the oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode, specifically within La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 perovskite material.
14:40 – 15:10 | Session 2: Continuum Simulation of Transport in Electrochemical Systems - Michael Schelling (DLR)
We present our results on continuum modelling of transport equations for electrochemical cells. The starting point is transport by diffusion in the electrolyte, from where we add complexity in the form of boundary conditions mimicking battery charge/discharge protocols and go on to simple models of Li-based batteries. We discuss the influence of different feature maps and parameterisation on the approximation quality.
