What is it about?
Modeling the formation of a pyrolytic carbon layer on spheronized graphite during the thermal decomposition of benzene yields mechanistic insight into nucleation and growth kinetics, microstructural evolution, and defect formation. Multiscale computational approaches that couple gas-phase decomposition chemistry with surface reactions, carbon diffusion, and heat–mass transport enable quantitative prediction of coating thickness.

Why is it important?
Modeling the coating of spheronized graphite is essential for the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
Perspectives
Modeling the coating of spheronized graphite is crucial because it enables quantitative prediction of how coating composition, thickness and microstructure influence electrode properties. Accurate models illuminate the interplay between coating properties and rate capability, initial coulombic efficiency, long-term cycling stability. Computational studies permit virtual screening of coating processing parameters, reducing reliance on costly and time-consuming experimental iterations and accelerating scale-up.
