Investigation of Reference Electrodes Usable As an Understanding Tool of Aging Mechanisms in Lithium-Ion Batteries

摘要

Fundamental electrochemical studies require to implement a reference electrode inside the cell to be able to record the potential profile and characterize the kinetics properties and the interface structure of each electrode individually. Obtaining such data proves to be essential to better understand the electrochemical processes and the aging mechanisms that are generated by cycling. Moreover, the integration of reference electrode inside lithium-ion cells must be done by keeping the sealing of the cell.
