Bimodal Cathode
The Bimodal Cathode generates a battery cathode structure, which consists of up to two types of solid spherical particles, solid carbon black and binder domain (CBD) and fluid electrolyte – the constituent materials can be selected from the material database . The recipe of the cathode considers the grain size distribution of the particles, the ratio between particle types, binder mass percentage and target porosity or target areal loading (mAh/cm²) of the cathode.

Parameters
Clicking Edit opens the Bimodal Cathode Parameters dialog.
Enter a Result File Name for the cathode.
The cathode parameters are organized into groups. For the Domain and Criteria to Match parameter groups refer to the Bimodal Anode topic.
Results
In the figure above, on the left, a monomodal battery cathode is shown, generated with the default settings. On the right, a bimodal battery cathode is shown generated with the default settings.
The result file is opened in the Result Viewer when the generation is finished, and the Report tab provides information about the structure generation.
