IEST In-Situ Model Coin Cell Swelling Testing System(MCS1000)

Description

1. Principle of Electrode Wetting

The Lucas–Washburn Equation is commonly used to describe the dynamic of liquid absorption in electrode pores, as represented by the equation below:

• r represents the radius of the capillary (m),
• σ represents the surface tension of the imbibition fluid (N/m),
• η represents the viscosity of the imbibition fluid (Pa*s),
• θ represents the contact angle of the wet phase (°),
• h represents the liquid suction height (m),
• t represents the liquid suction time,
• cr represents a fixed value, called the formal radius.

2. Applications
