This model describes in particular the transport of the Li+ ions inside the graphite spherical particles in the porous negative electrodes [3] due to diffusion and migration: (1) Here c(t,r) is the Li+ ion concentration, and u(t,r) is the electric potential. We prove that this model possesses the unique steady state solution c=C(r), u=U(r): (2) The constants are the roots of certain quadratic equations with positive discriminant; for each equation only one of its roots proves to be eligible. We study numerically the behavior of time-dependent solutions to (1) with various initial conditions using a finite-volume symmetric difference scheme of second order of accuracy. We demonstrate that the spatially non-uniform steady state (2) is the stable attractor for the time-dependent solutions to (1) regardless of the initial distributions of ion concentration and electric potential.
