Current Collector#

IRI: https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/electrochemistry#electrochemistry_212af058_3bbb_419f_a9c6_90ba9ebb3706

Description#

A current collector is a conductive component in an electrochemical cell that facilitates the transfer of electrons between the external circuit and the electrode material. Current collectors do not participate in the electrochemical reaction but play a crucial role in minimizing resistance and ensuring efficient electron flow.

Guidelines for Use#

To represent a Current Collector in the ontology, follow three key steps:

  1. Identify the Current Collector

{
  "@context": "https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/electrochemistry/context",
  "@type": ["CurrentCollector", "Copper", "Foil"]
}

  1. Assign Properties

{
  "@context": "https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/electrochemistry/context",
  "@type": "CurrentCollector",
  "hasProperty": [
    {
      "@type": "Thickness",
      "hasNumericalPart": {
        "@type": "RealData",
        "hasNumericalValue": 10
      },
      "hasMeasurementUnit": "emmo:MicroMetre"
    }
  ]
}

  1. Link the Current Collector to a Functional Whole

{
  "@context": "https://w3id.org/emmo/domain/electrochemistry/context",
  "@type": "Electrode",
  "hasCurrentCollector": {
    "@type": "CurrentCollector"
  }
}
