%X The demand for lithium ion batteries has increased due to the increasing need by consumers for  rechargeable batteries. In the effort to produce high performance batteries, mathematical model  becomes a vital instrument in helping batteries developers to understand the behaviour of the battery  systems during charge and discharge process. This understanding is useful in the optimization of the  battery design and parameters. This paper presents a mathematical model used to simulate the  intercalation process of lithium ions in the electrode of a lithium-ion battery. This model is used to  study the intercalation process through the lithium-ion concentration profiles during charge/discharge  of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This approach resulted in solving the diffusion equation in the  solution phase and the solid phase of the battery. Results from both phases are plotted and  compared. (Abstract by authors)
