AbstractThe Carbon-binder domain (CBD) plays a pivotal role in the performance of lithium-ion battery electrodes. The heterogeneous distribution of CBD across the electrode has garnered significant attention. However, a thorough understanding of how this CBD inhomogeneity affects anode performance remains a crucial pursuit, especially when considering the inherent material variations present in the SiO/Graphite (SiO/Gr) composite anode. In this study, an electro-chemo-mechanical model is established that provides a detailed geometric description of the particles. This model allows to quantitatively uncover the effects of CBD inhomogeneity on the fundamental behaviors of the SiO/Gr composite anode. The findings indicate that reducing the proportion of CBD in the upper domain (near the anode surface) compared to the lower domain (near the current collector) positively influences electrochemical performance, particularly in terms of capacity and Li plating. However, such an arrangement introduces potential risks of mechanical failures, and it is recommended to incorporate a higher proportion of CBD alongside the SiO particles. Finally, an anode design with a lower CBD proportion in the upper domain exhibits superior rate performance. This study represents a pioneering modeling exploration of CBD inhomogeneity, offering a promising multiphysics model with significant potential for informing advanced battery design considerations.
