Modelling of rechargeable NiMH batteries

A new mathematical model has been developed for rechargeable NiMH batteries, which is based on the occurring physical–chemical processes inside. This model enables one to simultaneously simulate the battery voltage, internal gas pressures (both PO2 and PH2) and temperature during battery operation. The model takes into account the thermodynamics, kinetics and diffusion processes occurring at/in both electrodes and in the electrolyte
