Lorenz Holzer

ISBN 10: 3031304799 / ISBN 13: 9783031304798

Editore: Springer International Publishing AG, Cham, 2023

Paperback. This open access book presents a thorough look at tortuosity and microstructure effects in porous materials. The book delivers a comprehensive review of the subject, summarizing all key results in the field with respect to the underlying theories, empirical data available in the literature, modern methodologies and calculation approaches, and quantitative relationships between microscopic and macroscopic properties. It thoroughly discusses up to 20 different types of tortuosity and introduces a new classification scheme and nomenclature based on direct geometric tortuosities, indirect physics-based tortuosities, and mixed tortuosities (geometric and physics-based). The book also covers recent progress in 3D imaging and image modeling for studying novel aspects of tortuosity and associated transport properties in materials, while providing a comprehensive list of available software packages for practitioners in the community.This book is a must-read for researchers and students in materials science and engineering interested in a deeper understanding of microstructureproperty relationships in porous materials. For energy materials in particular, such as lithium-ion batteries, tortuosity is a key microstructural parameter that can greatly impact long-term material performance. Thus, the information laid out in this book will also greatly benefit researchers interested in computational modeling and design of next-generation materials, especially those for sustainability and energy applications.

Riassunto:

This open access book presents a thorough look at tortuosity and microstructure effects in porous materials. The book delivers a comprehensive review of the subject, summarizing all key results in the field with respect to the underlying theories, empirical data available in the literature, modern methodologies and calculation approaches, and quantitative relationships between microscopic and macroscopic properties. It thoroughly discusses up to 20 different types of tortuosity and introduces a new classification scheme and nomenclature based on direct geometric tortuosities, indirect physics-based tortuosities, and mixed tortuosities (geometric and physics-based). The book also covers recent progress in 3D imaging and image modeling for studying novel aspects of tortuosity and associated transport properties in materials, while providing a comprehensive list of available software packages for practitioners in the community.

This book is a must-read for researchers and students in materials science and engineering interested in a deeper understanding of microstructure–property relationships in porous materials. For energy materials in particular, such as lithium-ion batteries, tortuosity is a key microstructural parameter that can greatly impact long-term material performance. Thus, the information laid out in this book will also greatly benefit researchers interested in computational modeling and design of next-generation materials, especially those for sustainability and energy applications.

Informazioni sull?autore:

Lorenz Holzer is a senior scientist at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), Switzerland, and head of the research group Microstructure Analysis and Property prediction (MAP). His research focuses on digital materials design (DMD/ICME), which combines methods of imaging/tomography, 3D image analysis, microstructure modeling and multiphysics simulations. These methods serve as a basis for optimization of engineered porous and composite materials (e.g., electrodes of fuel cells and batteries). Lorenz Holzer has published more than 150 scientific papers. He has organized several international conferences on the topics of 3D imaging and microstructure analysis. For his pioneering work in FIB-SEM tomography he received the Purdy award (American Ceramic Society) in 2007.
