1.2 Testing Principle:

  • Assemble symmetric batteries and conduct EIS testing.
  • As shown in the figure below, low-frequency segments of the EIS spectrum separately. The diference between the intersection of the fitting curves and the X-axis multiplied by 3 is the ionic resistance of the electrode coating.
  • Using the following formula, the MacMulin number can be calculated, This allows for the pre-evaluation of the electrochemica performance of the electrode after it is assembled into a cell. Therefore, characterization and compaison ofthe ionic conductivity of the electrode coating are particularly important.

Applications

Case 1. Different compaction density of positive electrodes

IEST Electrode Tortuosity Tester & Separator Ion Conductivity Tester Details-5

Summary:

  • The consistency of ElS testing for symmetric battery of electrodes is generally good.
  • Within a certain range of compaction density, as the compaction increases, the ionic resistance/MacMullin numb also increases.

Case 2. Different compaction density of negative electrodes

Summary:

  • The consistency of ElS testing for symmetric battery of electrodes is generally good.
  • Within a certain range of compaction density, as the compaction increases, the ionic resistance/MacMullin numb also increases.

Case 3. The correlation between electrode tortuosity and electrochemical performance(Gr negative electrodes of different thicknesses)

IEST Electrode Tortuosity Tester & Separator Ion Conductivity Tester Details-7

Summary:

  • As the thickness of the electrode increases, its tortuosity also increases, However, the rate performance of the battery decreases with increasing thickness.
  • This indicates that the rate performance of the battery decreases with increasing tortuosity. There is a certain correlation between electrode tortuosity and rate performance of battery.

Case 4. Different coated separators(Ionic conductivity testing of four different coated separators)

Summary:

  • Test the EIS of 1-4 layers of separators to obtain R1, R2, R3, R4.
  • Plot a curve with the number of separator layers as the x-axis and separator resistance as the y-axis. Calculate the slope and linear fitting degree of the curve, with the linear fitting degree ≥0.99.
  • Calculate the separator ionic conductivity according to the formula.
