Understanding and Eliminating Electrode Overlap Issues

What is electrode overlap and why does it matter? In lithium-ion cell manufacturing, electrode overlap refers to the region where the active areas of the anode and cathode are aligned across the separator as shown in Figure 1. Maintaining adequate overlap, whereby the anode active area overlaps the cathode, is critical to achieving uniform current … Read more

Why N/P Ratio Matters in Lithium-Ion Cells

NP ratio

AION Engineering INC What is the N/P Ratio? The N/P ratio refers to the ratio between the effective capacity of the anode (negative electrode, N) and the cathode (positive electrode, P). In simple terms, it compares how much lithium the anode can store versus how much the cathode can provide. For a safe and reliable … Read more
