Electronic conductivity
How readily a material conducts electrons. Current collectors and carbon additives supply it in an electrode because most active materials, LFP above all, conduct electrons poorly; a good electrolyte should have none, or it would self-discharge the cell.
Example
Electrochemistry fundamentals: an example situation
A circuit can predict terminal voltage while leaving electrode potentials and reaction kinetics unresolved.
Read Electronic conductivity alongside Conductive additive in this context. Fine carbon, such as carbon black or carbon nanotubes, added in small amounts to an electrode so that electrons can reach every active particle. Many active materials conduct electrons poorly on their own.
Use in Lemonergy
