In recent years, there has been significant research effort invested in accelerating innovation toward improved performance, safety and life of energy storage devices for vehicle electrification, renewable energy integration and grid storage. In this regard, the lithium-ion battery (LIB) has proved to be a key candidate. The electrode microstructures and properties critically affect the LIB performance. Processing conditions further influence the electrode microstructure formation and resultant physicochemical properties. Although, there has been significant emphasis on nanomaterials and nanostructures, the critical attributes of electrode processing on structure – property – performance interplay are not well understood. In this presentation, mesoscale insights into process – structure – transport interlink will be discussed. Especially, the impact of evaporation on the multi-phase assembly and microstructure formation will be elucidated.
