Until recently, most lithium-ion battery models used a mono-modal particle size distribution for an intercalation electrode, while it is obvious that a real electrode consists of particles with different sizes.
How does a lead-acid battery discharge affect the capacity of a battery?
Depending on the application of the battery (high or low rate discharge), the active surface area of the electrode material that is suitably exposed to the surrounding electrolyte used in lead-acid batteries isdirectly proportional to the amount of capacity that can be achieved during the discharge.
Do particle size distributions affect the performance of lithium-ion batteries?
