Dr. Zhichao Zhang is the Head of Electrochemical Simulation Department of Tianmuhu Advanced Energy Storage Technology Research Institute, mainly engaged in new energy lithium-ion battery electrochemical performance, cycle life, fast charge strategy, lithium analysis, multi-field coupling simulation, etc. Participated in and responsible for a number of national key research and development projects, enterprise horizontal and vertical projects.

Under the background of low-carbon development of China's "carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060", new energy technologies have developed rapidly, which has led to the development of new energy electric vehicles, effectively solving the energy crisis and environmental problems brought about by traditional vehicles. As one of the core components of electric vehicles, power batteries have long been designed and developed in a trial-and-error way, which faces problems such as high research and development cost and long cycle. Compared with the traditional trial and error method, using simulation method to drive the design process in cell research and development can significantly shorten the product development time, reduce the material and power consumption, improve product performance, and liberate the repetitive labor of high-end manpower. The most obvious thing is that the introduction of simulation design can bring intuitive benefits to enterprises, which can not only reduce research and development costs but also greatly shorten the research and development cycle. At the same time, the forward design based on simulation can not only get rid of the restrictions of experimental conditions, but also achieve the purpose of experimental trial and error in an economical and efficient way. More importantly, it can also break through the traditional experimental trial and error to achieve new functions and values.
