The Virtual Kinetics of Materials Laboratory (VKML) is a web environment to develop microstructural evolution models by using FiPy, a powerful set of python-based libraries to write Partial Differential Equations. A basic set of examples is provided to simulate: a) the electrochemical transport kinetics of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries; b) simple diffusion and spinodal decomposition problems; c) Symbolic Thermodynamics using the Gibbs infrastructure; and d) basic examples to learn how to write a program with a simple GUI. Each example can be readily edited, debugged, and run online. The developed interface also provides a TKInter-based GUI, which enables the user to rapidly prototype flexible interfaces with sliders, menus, and buttons.
You can run and download VKML at https://nanohub.org/resources/vkmllive/.
Other (static) VKML modules are:
VKML : Dendritic Growth
VKML : Polycrystalline Growth and Coarsening
VKML : Spinodal Decomposition
VKML : Spinodal Decomposition 3D
Gibbs: Symbolic Computation of Materials Thermodynamics
dualfoil.py: Porous Electrochemistry for Rechargeable Batteries

A general purpose open source, Python-based framework, Gibbs, was developed to perform multiphysical equilibrium and kinetic calculations of material properties. The developed architecture allows to prototype symbolic and numerical representations of materials by starting from analytic models, tabulated experimental data, or Thermo-Calc data files. These constructions are based on the addition of arbitrary…

Lithium dendrites are metallic needle-like structures that electrodeposit on the anode of a battery during charging, and on continued cycling, penetrate the intermediate polymeric separator layer, and internally short-circuit the battery. Dendritic growth in lithium-based batteries is known to cause battery failures, fires and other accidents. Dendrites in lithium-based batteries…
