Digital Import and Analysis of a Cathode
PDF tutorial
Improving the microstructure of the electrodes is essential to the battery’s overall performance.
With GeoDict digital tools, it is easy to import a μCT-scan of a battery cathode, analyze its microstructure, and gain valuable insights into the electrode’s electrochemical cycling behavior. Comparing diverse battery structures becomes a simple task, by quickly obtaining crucial structural characteristics, such as pore sizes and electrochemical behavior during cycling.
In this PDF tutorial you will learn step-by-step:
- Import a μCT-scan of a cathode. Segment the scan by grayscale values and identify the binder.
- Analyze the cathode’s structure: pore size distribution by different methods and diffusion behavior.
- Create a synthetic NMC cathode structure with a GeoApp.
- Charge the cathode against a lithium reservoir in a half cell using BatteryDict-LIR.
