Abstract

Progressive delamination driven by Li-ion diffusion in elastic disk-like thin film electrodes of Li-ion batteries is modeled based on the cohesive model. Axisymmetric diffusion model is considered under both galvanostatic and potentiostatic operations. The effect of edge diffusion on the delamination process is evaluated. It is found that the diffusion from edge leads to an earlier delamination initiation. The edge effect is significant for active disks with a small aspect ratio, but negligible for the case of large aspect ratio. The edge diffusion is weaker in the potentiostatic operation than in the galvanostatic operation.
