Increasing the loading level of electrodes increases the corresponding areal capacity. Further, while the specifics vary with cell design, essentially, if the areal capacity is increased, less current collector material is needed.
Specifically, the diffusion pathway of lithium ions is elongated within a thick positive electrode, leading to a weakening of the diffusion dynamics of Li-ions in the electrolyte. Correspondingly, it takes longer for ions to reach the cathode surface, which delays the increase in cathode potential.
Overall, the increased discharge rate and positive mass utilization are related to the linear growth of porosity along with an increase in the active-mass thickness. Therefore, an increase in positive mass utilization of graphite-added electrodes is because of an increase in the porosity of the active mass .
Moreover, the active material enhances the porosity and thus increases mass transport in the PAM. There are certainly several ways in which the discharge properties of lead dioxide electrodes may be modified such as improving the pathway to all areas of the active mass as the transition of PbO 2 into PbSO 4 continues.
One effective method to improve the energy density at the cell level is to increase the electrode thickness, thereby reducing the proportion of electrochemically inactive materials . However, increasing electrode thickness will exacerbate the diffusion limitations within the battery, thus hindering Li-ion mobility [7, 8].
