Abstract:Conductive additives are used in the cathode of a Li-ion battery to improve electrical conductivity. However, these additives can negatively impact the ionic conductivity and specific capacity of the battery. Therefore, design of additive-free cathodes is gaining attention in the research community. In this paper, we explore the effective electrical conductivity of randomly generated two-phase conductive-free cathode microstructures using a mathematical homogenization method. Over thousand microstructures with… Show more
