Abstract

The rapid advent of computational power and re-chargeable lithium batteries was in many ways simultaneous in the early 1990s — but not coupled to each Other to a large extent at the time of the breakthroughs. However, as the new computers and computational methods were efficient, these fast became used in the field to model well-known battery materials and phenomena, often with the aim to explain experimental data. Later there were also new battery materials or demands emerging, where computations were foreseen to possibly have a predictive power. As another way of thinking the models needed to correctly look at complex battery phenomena spurred the development of computational strategies and methods.
