Abstract
Introduction: There are many significant barriers still to be overcome before chemical storage becomes satisfactory. One of the most significant issues is how much the electrodes vary in their electronic and ionic conductivities. Both of these issues are highly complex. My funding was used to help me learn the basic mathematics and physics that occur inside of batteries. I used this understanding to make two models, one using COMSOL multiphysics, and another cruder model using Excel. The most significant change made in my execution from my original proposal was I used all of my time in understanding and making models, and did not reach a point of doing measurements.
