Evaluation of Matching Ratio Impact on Reduced Charging Time
2020 Electrochemical Society Meeting
Montreal, Canada

Collaborators: Yanbao Fu, Author; Ning Li, Author; Vince Battaglia, Author; Wei Tong, Author

Determine the effect of matching ratio (cell design) on fast charge capability. When using the correct matching ratio and charge procedure, cells with an increased N:P ratio can be charged to higher capacity, quicker, despite a reduced energy density.
