In this work, we develop a new tool to provide a diagnostic map for alkali-ion intercalation materials under galvanostatic conditions. These representations, stated in the form of capacity level diagrams, are built from hundreds of numerical simulations representing different experimental conditions, summarized in two dimensionless parameters: a kinetic parameter denominated Ξ and a finite diffusion parameter l. To lay the theoretical and methodological foundations, a general model is used here. This model can be adapted to the thermodynamic and kinetic framework of specific systems. We provide two representative examples.
Keywords: alkali-ion batteries; fast-charging; galvanostatic simulations; ion intercalations; single-particle.
