It is also possible to simulate the charging of all solid state batteries. The geometry is designed in the same way as for batteries with fluid electrolyte, using Design Battery, however we recommend some adjustments afterwards.

The GeoDict material database provides one solid electrolyte material: LPSCl. But you can add your own electrolytes to the database as described here.

For the active material in the battery, the Maximum Exchange Current Density with the electrolyte should be defined. For LPSCl, the material NMC811 already provides a Maximum Exchange Current Density.

When you use LPSCl with a lithium reservoir, we recommend to change the Maximum Exchange Current Density to 320 A/m², which is cited by Singh et al., 2023 for the exchange current density between lithium and the solid electrolyte LPSCl. Find more information on charging simulations with solid electrolytes refer to the topic All Solid State Batteries.

To avoid issues in the charging simulation, make sure to reassign the material ID of the separator so that it matches the material ID of the solid electrolyte. This is also illustrated in the All Solid State Batteries topic. The BatteryDict GUI automatically detects this when you set the electrolyte to solid.
