Summary
In the current definition of the parameters the microstructure is defined by the porosity. I assume this means that the rest of the volume fraction is assumed to be active material. It would be interesting to split the volume fractions into electrolyte (i.e. porosity), active material and inactive material.

Motivation
In some cases the conductive filler in the electrode can make up to 10% of the volume so that has an impact on the amount of active material to consider in the model.

Yes, in the electrode submodels the electrode volume fraction is just defined as 1-eps (e.g. sigma_eff * (1 - eps) ** bruggeman

Need this now, @ferranbrosa have you started on this?

I haven't, sorry! Go ahead with it.

No problem.
What is the symbol for active material volume fraction?
Also, renaming everything from "porosity" to "electrolyte volume fraction" is a bit of a pain but can be done, do you think this is necessary? Otherwise, we have "porosity" which refers to electrolyte volume fraction, and "active material volume fraction" which refers to electrode volume fraction

Whatever you prefer for the notation, I have seen both terms used.
