We are very happy to share that our latest work on the „Effect of the Mechanical Pressure on Rate Capability, and Expansion in Multilayer Pouch Cells with Silicon-Dominant Anodes“ has been published in the ECS - The Electrochemical Society!

The full article is available open-access: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/1945-7111/ad71f6

Our highlights include:
- improved rate capability of silicon anodes compared to graphite anodes. 
- improved rate capability with lower temperature increases for higher mechanical pressures (i.e., 0.5 MPa) especially at higher C-rates (e.g., 3C). 
- pressure-dependent impedance due to contact resistance
- Decreasing anode thickness and porosity (quantified via pycnometer and mercury intrusion porosimeter measurements) for increasing pressures.
