Analytical Model and Experimental Verification of the Interfacial Peeling Strength of Electrodes

Submitted by zhan-sheng guo on Wed, 02/03/2021 - 00:02

Background

The interfacial peeling strength of lithium-ion battery electrodes is a very important mechanical property that significantly affects the electrochemical performance of battery cells.

Objective

To characterize the interfacial peeling strength of an electrode, an analytical model based on the energy balance principle is established by considering the state of charge (SOC), the energy release rate, the tensile stiffness, and the peeling angle.
