Use the Thin Porous Electrode boundary node from the Electrolyte submenu to define a thin porous electrode on exterior boundaries of an electrolyte or a separator domain.

The settings in this section specify the Thickness and Electrode volume fraction of the thin porous electrode.

By selecting Intercalating particles, the node adds a mass balance and the corresponding dependent variables for solving for an intercalating concentration. The settings related to the intercalation are set on the Particle Intercalation child node.

See the Electrode Surface node for a description of the Electrode Phase Potential Condition and Harmonic Perturbation sections.

See the Porous Electrode node for a description of the remaining settings of this node. A Porous Electrode Reaction node is added by default. You can specify the reactions occurring on the electrode material, giving rise to fluxes in and out from the electrode particles, using Porous Electrode Reaction subnodes. Also add a Porous Matrix Double-Layer Capacitance and, for the Battery with Binary Electrolyte interface, a Porous Matrix Adsorption/Desorption Reaction subnode.
