How does external pressure affect the electrode structure of a lithium battery?

An Analysis of the Experimental Results Applying external pressure can compress the electrode structure of the lithium metal battery and bring the electrode particles into closer contact with each other, and the interface impedance between the electrode and the electrolyte is thus reduced.

Why do lithium batteries need a pressure increase?

The pressure increase improves the cycle life of lithium metal, reduces lithium’s migration curvature in the diaphragm, and avoids direct contact between the positive and anode electrodes that can cause internal short circuit in the battery. 2. Experiments 2.1. Experiment Subjects and Experiment Platforms

Why do lithium batteries have a higher pretension force?

Imposing a higher pretension force normally causes the surface pressure of lithium metal batteries to increase. This is because the pretension force enables the components inside the battery to come into closer contact, increasing the contact pressure between the surfaces.

Why do lithium batteries have a weak side reaction?

This is because the material and structure of the battery have not yet experienced huge stress and deformation when used initially, and the deposition of lithium metal on the electrode surface is relatively stable in the initial stage, and the side reaction phenomenon is weak.

Why does a lithium ion battery need to be extruded?

This is mainly due to the continuous extrusion of the battery by the external pressure, which further increases the internal stress, reduces the deposition rate of the lithium metal, affects the reaction driving force of the contact surface between the electrode and the electrolyte, and suppresses the further growth of the dendrite tip.

Can external pressure improve the life of lithium based cells?

On the contrary, several authors have reported , , , , , , that an appropriate external pressure can benefit the lifespan and safety of both liquid- and solid-electrolyte based cells by improving the contact conditions and suppressing the growth of lithium dendrites [17, , , , , ].
