Diffusion Coefficients and Kinetic Rate Constants of Phase Changing Electrode Materials using Physics-based Models: A Descriptive Study | Chapter 12 | Research Developments in Science and Technology Vol. 10

 

 Weppner and Huggins' 1977 model for the simplified gravimetric intermittent titration technique (GITT) model is still widely used to calculate the electrochemical kinetic rate constant and solid-state diffusion coefficient ( ). However, more modern models have emerged that make use of the greater availability of computer power and are theoretically descriptive. Understanding internal battery dynamics, in particular the charge transport pathways in porous electrodes, is necessary to create better batteries. Solid-state diffusion, which controls rate in lithium-ion battery (LIB) and sodium-ion battery (SIB) electrodes, is often the slowest process. Therefore, in order to design battery electrodes for optimum power and energy efficiency, it is essential to comprehend the kinetic rate constant (k) and the solid-state diffusion coefficient (D1).
