New Test-Electrode Design for Active Material Characterization

摘要

An electrode system which permits cost-effective electrochemical investigation of active materials under one-dimensional current distribution has been developed. Experimental results prove the reliability of electrode-bed characterization under a wide variety of conditions that include electrode composition and structure, different forms of distributed current collection, isometric or isobaric material confinement, etc. The method provides fundamental data elements for cell design and optimization.
