Herein, positive electrodes were calendered from a porosity of 44–18% to cover a wide range of electrode microstructures in state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries.
The porosity of the positive electrode is an important parameter for battery cell performance, as it influences the percolation (electronic and ionic transport within the electrode) and the mechanical properties of the electrode such as the E-modulus and brittleness [4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
This study has provided new insight into the relationship between electrode thickness and porosity for lithium-ion batteries whilst also considering the impact of rate of discharge. We observe that the three parameters hold significant influence over the final capacity of the electrode.
Dai and Srinivasan 8 described a model based on graded electrode porosity to expand the energy density of the battery. Until recently, most lithium-ion battery models used a mono-modal particle size distribution for an intercalation electrode, while it is obvious that a real electrode consists of particles with different sizes.
Therefore, methods like porometry, that rely on a capillary flow through porous specimen, e.g. battery separators, are not discussed here. As mentioned in Section 1.1., the most common way to measure porosity is via the thickness and mass of the electrode, assuming the values for calculating ρtheo are known.
The use of porous electrodes also reduces the ionic diffusion pathways within the solid matrix and improves heat dissipation. Those improvements enable LIBs to show higher rate capabilities, and better cycle live performance compared to batteries using nonporous materials.
