This animation visualizes the movement of electrons from the cathode (left) to the anode (right) within a simplified model of a solid-state battery during its charging cycle. The behavior and characteristics of the battery components and electron flow can be changed by interacting with the controls.
Controls:
Select Material: Choose from different hypothetical materials for the battery's electrodes. Each material has unique properties that affect:
The color of the cathode and anode.
The rate at which electrons are emitted (density of electron flow).
The base speed of the electrons.
The path variability of the electrons.
Selecting a new material will reset the current electron flow. Some materials may also represent the effect of special coatings.
Charging Voltage Factor: Adjust this slider to simulate changes in the applied charging voltage.
Higher values increase the electron spawn rate and their overall speed, representing a more aggressive charging scenario.
Lower values decrease the electron spawn rate and speed.
Reset Simulation: Click this button to return all settings to their default state and clear the current electron flow.
Note: This is a conceptual and qualitative simulation designed for educational and illustrative purposes. It simplifies complex electrochemical processes.
