Description
1. Principle of electrode wetting
The Lucas-Washburn infiltration model is commonly used to describe the dynamic of liquid absorption in electrode pores, as represented by the equation below, Here, ( h ) denotes the liquid absorption height, ( t ) stands forabsorption time, (c)represents the shape factor for different pore capillaries, ( r) refers to the capillary radius, ( cr ) is a constant termed as the form radius, (θ )stands for the liquid surface tension, and ( η )denotes the liquidviscosity.
2. Applications
2.1 Electrode electrolyte capillary wetting system-EWS
Key Features:
- Equipped with a high-precision vision testing system for stable and efficient testing repeatability.
- In-situ real-time characterization of electrolyte wetting rateon negative electrode sheets of lithium-ion batteries.
- Applicable Samples: Negative electrode sheets.
- The greater the compacticion of the electrode sheet, the lowerthe porosity, resulting in poorer electrolyte wetting.
2.2 Electrode electrolyte weight immersion system-ETS
Key Features:
- Equipped with a high-precision weighing system for stable and efficient testing repeatability.
- In-situ real-time characterization of electrolyte wetting rate on positive and negative electrode sheets of lithium-ion batteries.
- Test Samples: Positive electrode sheets, negative electrode sheets.
- Good overlap among the three sets of electrode sheets,indicat-ing good consistency in electrolyte wetting.
