Abstract

The relationship between tortuosity and porosity and its influence on effective transport properties in lithium-ion cells was analyzed. The variation in cell performance with changes in component thicknesses, porosities and tortuosities was investigated. Optimal, novel electrode designs are developed to improve their rate capability even at higher active material loadings.
