Although “post” Li-ion battery is arising as an inevitable solution for sustainable energy transition, it would be unwise to assume ‘conventional’ Li-ion battery is approaching the end of their era; as many strategies are still available to improve their performance. While progress has been continuously achieved to get even better active materials, industry engineers and academic researchers have kept improving on the electrode scale. The most direct way can be done through the microstructure design. In light of this, one attempts to understand the interplay between the electrode microstructure and its performance in this work, which plays a vital role in achieving high-performance Li-ion battery electrodes. This work relies on three major ...
