Enhanced rate performance in electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries

摘要

1. Simple and cheap method to align graphite particles and decrease tortuosity of the lithium paths 2. High loading electrodes for fast rate cycling obtained 3. Performance improved solely by changing the inner architecture of the electrode 4. But: - large graphite flakes - high porosity electrodes → calendering allows densification by 30%, tests in progress - optimisation of the process (carbon, binder, ..) 5. Many more materials to look at! Page 26.
