Abstract: | Lithium ionic conductivity, electronic conductivity of active electrode materials and lithium ionic conductivity of electrolyte materials are closely related to the dynamic behavior of lithium batteries. Therefore, conductivity test and analysis contribute the understanding of electrochemical properties of materials, including direct current method (DC), alternating current impedance (AC impedance), and direct current polarization method (DC polarization). Based on the different conductivity characteristics of electrolyte materials and active electrode materials, this paper introduced the methods, principles, equipments, test procedures and precautions of conductivity test. Besides, the analysis of data was illustrated with specific cases of lithium batteries. |
