Characterization of fabrication-microstructure-property relationships for polymer-based battery materials, combining tomographic 3D imaging with modeling and simulation (Oct. 2021- Sept. 2024)
The 3D morphology of battery electrodes is crucial for their performance and degradation behavior. Simultaneous ionic and electric conductivity has to be ensured in the entire electrode. Therefore, an appropriate and stable hierarchical 3D structure on the micro- and nanometer scales is key for improving the electrochemical performance of polymer-based batteries. This makes an accurate knowledge of the 3D morphology of experimentally manufactured electrodes and their functional properties indispensable.
The aim of this project is to better understand how polymer-based battery electrodes, which are a complex mixture of redox-active polymer, conductive carbon material and a polymeric binder, have to be designed in order to obtain an optimal 3D morphology that yields high performance and degradation stability
