Battery researchers use rheology to study their slurries’ structure and stability. However, rheology alone does not offer insights into the slurry’s conductive network, a critical feature for electrochemical performance. How can researchers study slurries’ conductivity under process-relevant conditions? Introducing: Rheo-Impedance Spectroscopy. Impedance spectroscopy has been adopted to characterize the conductive network within the slurry. Impedance measurements can be conducted on mixed slurries to predict electrode performance. But slurries’ microstructure and conductive network change under shear. Therefore, impedance spectroscopy measurements must be performed under process-relevant shear deformations for accurate electrical network assessment. Learn from in-depth rheo-impedance spectroscopy studies of battery slurries and see what the technique reveals in this new blog: https://lnkd.in/ep2nfD39
