The Datasheet Illusion: Why ACIR is Insufficient and What DCIR Reveals Over Time

AI generated image that shows electrical propagation through cell layers

AION Engineering INC When you open the datasheet of a lithium-ion cell, one of the first values to catch your eye is the internal resistance. Typically, it sits there as a single, proud number: ACIR: 15 mOhm. Many engineers look at this number, validate the “quality” of the cell, and integrate it into their vehicle … Read more

Engineering Empty Space: Tailoring Battery Electrodes for Ion Transport

Author: Anton Resing: The cathode electrodes in a lithium-ion battery are a composite of solid charge storing particles, a polymeric binder, and a conductive additive. Together, they are well dispersed in a solvent and spread like paint on a conductive substrate, an effective and pleasingly simple solution that works across various chemistries and cell designs. … Read more
