Abstract
Selection of active electrode materials is only the first step in the cell design and manufacturing process. In order to achieve the best cell performance, the “non-active” components need to be carefully selected both qualitatively and quantitatively. Especially in high-end applications, the electrode formulation optimization process is nontrivial and seriously impacts the cell’s performance. Achieving the high performance limits, such as extremely high power, very high temperatures, or very long life, require thoughtful and deliberate approach to electrode formulation optimization.
