Computer simulation technology has been popularized and leaping forward. Under this context, it has become a novel research direction to use computer simulation technology to optimize the manufacturing process of lithium-ion battery electrode.
Battery electrodes are the two electrodes that act as positive and negative electrodes in a lithium-ion battery, storing and releasing charge. The fabrication process of electrodes directly determines the formation of its microstructure and further affects the overall performance of battery.
The influences of different technologies on electrode microstructure of lithium-ion batteries should be established. According to the existing research results, mixing, coating, drying, calendering and other processes will affect the electrode microstructure, and further influence the electrochemical performance of lithium ion batteries.
Electrode structure is an important factor determining the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries. It comprises physical structure, particle size and shape, electrode material and pore distribution.
Nevertheless, the development of nanostructured electrode materials holds great promise for the future of high-performance and safe lithium metal batteries . There are several important nanomaterials that have been researched and developed for use in LIBs. Some of the most significant ones include 1.
The mixing process is the basic link in the electrode manufacturing process, and its process quality directly determines the development of subsequent process steps (e.g., coating process), which has an important impact on the comprehensive performance of lithium-ion battery .
