SummarySummary
• The mass transport phenomena of a LiPF6-EC-PC-P(VdF-HFP) gel was characterized and modeled at 298 K.
• Two types of models were implemented in Comsol. A galvanostatic polarization model (constant fluxes at the boundaries) and a salt and solvent diffusion model (constant concentrations at the boundaries).
• Two diffusion coefficients, two transport numbers and two drag coefficients were all calculated by fitting the models to experimental data.
• The conductivity was obtained from electrochemical impedance measurements while the two diffusion potential coefficients were directly calculated from concentration cell data.
• The solvent diffusion potential was relative small compared to the ohmic potential drop and the salt diffusion potential.
