The MedeA Software Platform

Innovation from integration.
The journey of MedeA takes you from simulation to analysis to decision. A powerful productivity tool, MedeA brings everything you need together in one place. With MedeA you can calculate all of the materials properties seamlessly, saving you time and putting all the data that you need in your hands.

Power of prediction.
Think of the implications of being able to predict the physical and chemical properties of many materials combinations. That is what MedeA can help you do.

MedeA’s network architecture helps you to:

  • Search and retrieve over 500,000 entries of materials data.
  • Enable the calculation of tens of thousands of cases.
  • Build models of interfaces between materials with a user-friendly interface.
  • Compute mechanical, thermal, catalytic, electrical and magnetic properties of materials.
  • Visualize and analyze results.

Graphite Electrode Elastic Properties upon Li Intercalation

There is widespread interest in improving the performance and capacity of Li-ion batteries. Graphite is the standard anode material in these devices. As such, there is a critical need for an in-depth understanding of fundamental graphite properties at the varying operating conditions of a device.
First-principles calculations reveal a three-fold increase in the Young’s modulus of graphite as it is lithiated (C->LiC6). A linear expression is determined that describes the approximate stiffness of Li intercalated graphite as a function of loading which may lead to greatly improved continuum models of electrode deformation and failure.
