EES Batteries has published its first articles. To celebrate this, we asked the authors to discuss their work in some more detail.

In this edition, we hear from Wolfgang Zeier about their study titled Transport characterization of solid-state Li₂FeS₂ cathodes from a porous electrode theory perspective.

“Our work explores the impact of electrode composition and thickness on the areal capacity and energy density of Li₂FeS₂ based solid-state batteries. We offer insights into the balance between electronic and ionic conductivity that is necessary for high-performance, high-loading solid state battery electrodes.”

“The most exciting part of this research is the exploration of porous electrode theory, which is well-established for Li-ion batteries, to potentially guide our understanding of solid-state electrodes.”

“A significant challenge we address is the interplay between electrode thickness, applied current density and transport limitations. We want to highlight that it becomes increasingly important to investigate electrodes with areal loadings closer to application when evaluating their future potential.”
