A plot of the battery voltage versus time is created automatically by the probe you added earlier.
Rename the Default Probe Plot
1
In the Model Builder window, under Results click Probe Plot Group 1.
2
In the Settings window for 1D Plot Group, type Cell Voltage Probe Plot in the Label text field.
3
In the Cell Voltage Probe Plot toolbar, click  Plot.
Electrode Potential with Respect to Ground
A plot of the potential in the electrodes and current conductors is generated by default. Change the geometry selection to only show the metal foils.
1
In the Model Builder window under Results, click Electrode Potential with Respect to Ground
2
In the Settings window, expand the Selection section and chose Domain as the Geometric entity level.
3
Now select Metal Foil Domains
By default the plot now shows both current collectors. Disable one at a time to make the other one visible.
4
Expand the plots node
5
Right click Surface 2 and select Disable
6
Click Plot to inspect the negative current collector
7
Similarly enable Surface 2 again and disable Surface 1 to show the positive electrode
8
Click Plot to inspect the positive current collector
Current Density Across Separator
Now review the plot of the current density magnitude in the separator at different times
1
In the Model Builder window click Separator Current Density Magnitude
2
In the Settings window, locate the Data section and choose 0 from the time list
3
Click Plot to inspect the current density a the beginning of the simulation
Also investigate the current distribution at the end of simulation
1
In the Settings window, locate the Data section and choose 0 from the time list
2
Click Plot to inspect the current density a the beginning of the simulation
Additional instructions for how to plot integrated measures of the electrode utilization over the whole charge cycles, using general projection operators, can be found toward the end of the modeling instructions for the Electrode Utilization in a Large-Format Lithium-Ion Battery Pouch Cell tutorial found in the Battery Design Application Library. There you also find a number of other tutorials covering a multitude of cell chemistries and application areas
