For the charging simulation of an electrode, the parameters that need to be selected on the Experiment tab, are nearly the same as for the simulation of a whole battery.

Differences arise because, in a half cell simulation, only the state of charge (SOC) of the electrode being studied needs to be taken into account. The other electrode is modeled as a never-ending lithium reservoir. Therefore, as Experiment Type Lithiate Electrode and Delithiate Electrode are available that simulate lithiation or delithiation of the investigated electrode vs the lithium reservoir. The Start and End Condition for the simulation are defined by selecting Minimum and Maximum Electrode SOC.

To start the simulation from a lithium concentration in the electrode, resulting from a previous simulation, select Initial *.cap File and Final Electrode SOC. Choose a .cap file as starting point of the simulation, and define the final SOC of the electrode that is not modeled as the lithium reservoir.

The Computational Direction is fixed in X direction.
