Modeling of lithium iron phosphate electrodes calls for appropriate extensions of established model approaches. An electrochemical pseudo two-dimensional and a single-particle model are enhanced to address the phase separating behavior of this material with a variable solid state diffusion model. A particle size distribution model tackles the heterogeneity of the electrode microstructure. Both models are embedded in a framework to describe multi-layer electrode designs featuring segregated material properties. The models are parameterized following literature replicating a good match with measured discharge curves at low, medium and high currents. A simplified version of the rigorous model shows the effort of reparameterization, the computational advantage of model order reduction techniques, the model accuracy and application scope.
