Why Electrode Microstructure Architecture Determines Cell Performance

AION Engineering INC In lithium-ion batteries, electrode performance is governed not only by material chemistry but by the three-dimensional microstructure formed by particles, pores, binder, and conductive additives. Before production begins, this microstructure already defines how ions and electrons will move through the electrode. Once manufacturing starts, many of these structural characteristics can no longer … Read more

Slurry Viscosity & Solid Content Optimization

The Hidden Hero of Electrode Manufacturing AION Engineering INC In Lithium-ion battery production, the electrode coating process is a defining step for the cell’s final performance. However, achieving a pristine coating isn’t just about machine settings; it begins with the correct formulation of the slurry structure. In this article, we examine slurry viscosity not merely … Read more

How Particle Size Distribution (PSD) Affects Cell Capacity

AION Engineering INC In previous discussions, we explored the relationship between cell capacity, C-rate, and electrode density. A key parameter influencing electrode density—and thus overall cell performance—is the particle size distribution (PSD) of the active material. Why PSD Matters The PSD of active materials directly impacts their tap density and compactibility—two critical factors that determine … Read more
