Applications

1. Cathode: Lithium-rich Manganese-based Layered Oxides (LLOs)

IEST Single Particle Force Properties Test System Details-17

  • Single-particle crush measurements reveal the intrinsic relationship between mechanical properties and electrochemical stability in cathode materials at the microscale. This approach not only provides direct assessment criteria for evaluating and screening high-performance materials, but also drives optimization of surface modification strategies and construction of battery lifetime prediction models through quantitative, high-precision testing methodologies. It serves as a critical bridge connecting material design with practical applications.

2. Anode Material-SiC

  • IEST Single Particle Force Properties Test System Details-8Two silicon-carbon materials with different electrode compaction.
  • Comparison of crushing force distribution: A>B.
  • Analysis of stress-displacement curves: Sample A exhibits initialmicro-crackingfollowed by complete collapse, while sample B expe-riences direct structural collapse and fragmentation.
  • Comparison of Disintegration States: after fracturing, all three groups disintegrate into fine granular states.

Particle Compression Resistance and Powder Compaction

  • The compressive resistance of particle level C1 is stronger. Corresponding to the powder end, C1has a higher compression modulus than C2, with both maximum deformation and irreversible deformation smaller than C2.

Case 2: Three Different Carbon-Silicon Materials
