Layer coupling between solutal and thermal convection in liquid metal batteries
Paolo Personnettaz, Tanja Sophia Klopper, Norbert Weber +1
For longer than one decade, liquid metal batteries (LMBs) are developed with the primary aim to provide economic stationary energy storage. Featuring two liquid metal electrodes se…
Transient behaviour of electrovortex flow in a cylindrical container
Ke Liu, Frank Stefani, Norbert Weber +2
This study is a continuation of the combined experimental and numerical investigation [1] of the flow of the eutectic GaInSn alloy inside a cylindrical vessel exposed to a constant…
Cell voltage model for Li-Bi liquid metal batteries
Norbert Weber, Carolina Duczek, Gerrit M. Horstmann +5
Lithium-bismuth bimetallic cells are amongst the best explored liquid metal batteries. A simple and fast quasi-one-dimensional cell voltage model for such devices is presented. The…
Anode-metal drop formation and detachment mechanisms in liquid metal batteries
Sabrina Bénard, Norbert Weber, Gerrit Maik Horstmann +2
We study numerically localised short circuits in Li||Bi liquid metal batteries. In the prototype of a classical, three liquid-layer system, we assume a perceptible local deformatio…
Conductivity influence on interfacial waves in liquid metal batteries and related two-layer systems
Tom Weier, Ilmars Grants, Gerrit Maik Horstmann +5
Fluid flows in liquid metal batteries can be generated by a number of effects. We start with a short overview of different driving mechanisms and then address questions specific to…
Effects of current distribution on mass transport in the positive electrode of a liquid metal battery
Paolo Personnettaz, Steffen Landgraf, Michael Nimtz +2
Liquid metal electrodes are one of the key components of different electrical energy storage technologies. The understanding of transport phenomena in liquid electrodes is mandator…
