Do you Know the Expansion Process of Graphite Electrodes?

 As a Graphite Electrodes Exporter, share it with you.

Gas generated inside the battery is an important cause of battery swelling. Whether the battery is stored at room temperature, high temperature cycle, or high temperature, it will produce different degrees of swelling and gas production. According to the current research results, the essence of the cell bloating is caused by the decomposition of the electrolyte. There are two cases of electrolyte decomposition. One is that there are impurities in the electrolyte, such as moisture and metal impurities, which cause the electrolyte to decompose and produce gas. The other is that the electrochemical window of the electrolyte is too low, which causes decomposition during the charging process. Solvents such as EC, DEC, etc. will generate free radicals after getting electrons. The direct consequence of free radical reactions is the production of low-boiling hydrocarbons, esters, ethers and CO2.

The thickness changes of the battery pole pieces have the following situations:

(1) After the pole piece is rolled, the thickness of the pole piece rebounds when it is placed. The greater the compaction density, the greater the rebound; under the same stress, the greater the elastic modulus of the adhesive, the smaller the pole piece rebounds when placed, and drying will also cause The pole piece rebounds.

(2) The pole piece absorbs the electrolyte and swells, and the thickness of the pole piece increases.

(3) During charging and discharging, the insertion of lithium leads to electrode expansion caused by changes in lattice parameters.

In the process of lithiation of the graphite button half-cell and the expansion of the pole piece, during the first discharge lithiation, as the lithium ions intercalate between the graphite layers, the electrode potential gradually decreases and the pole piece thickness expansion rate gradually increases. The whole process can be divided into multiple stages a~e. As the amount of lithium intercalated between graphite layers increases (x gradually increases), LixC6 has several different phases. The characteristics of these phases are listed. x represents the compound LixC6 The molar content of lithium in the middle, d is the lattice parameter graphite layer spacing. As the amount of lithium insertion increases, the graphite changes sequentially from 2H phase. When the SOC is 50%, it changes to LiC12 and becomes LiC6 after complete lithiation. The theoretical capacity is 372mAh/ g. During this transition, the layer spacing d gradually increases, which leads to an increase in the thickness of the pole piece.

What are Graphite Electrodes and Needle Coke?

  As a   Graphite Electrodes Manufacturer , share with you. Graphite electrodes are the main heating element used in electric arc furnaces, which is a steelmaking process that melts scrap from old cars or old home appliances to produce new steel. The construction cost of an electric arc furnace is cheaper than that of a traditional blast furnace, which is made of iron ore to make steel and is fueled by coking coal. However, steelmaking costs are higher because they use scrap steel and are driven by electricity. Graphite Electrodes The electrode is a part of the furnace cover and is assembled into a cylinder. Then, the current passes through the electrodes, forming a strong arc, melting the scrap. The size of the electrodes varies greatly, but the diameter can reach 0.75 meters (2 and a half feet), and the longest can reach 2.8 meters (9 feet). The largest weighs more than two metric tons. Up to 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) of graphite electrodes are required to produce one ton of ...

How to Deal With the Details of Graphite Electrode Use?

图片
  As a   Graphite Electrodes Manufacturer , share with you. We need to know that the wet graphite electrode should be dried before use, and the internal thread of the electrode hole should be checked for integrity. When we clean the surface of the spare graphite electrode and the internal thread of the hole with compressed air, there must be no oily water; avoid cleaning with steel wire or metal brush cloth. Graphite Electrodes It is important to carefully screw the connector into the electrode hole of the spare graphite electrode, and screw the electrode strap (graphite strap is recommended) into the electrode hole on the other end of the spare electrode. When lifting the electrode, the cushion is soft to the bottom of one end of the spare electrode assembly connector to prevent ground damage and connector damage; the lifting hook extends to the lifting ring of the lifting device to lift, the lifting electrode is smooth, preventing the electrode from being released from the B...

Do you know the Bending Strength and Average Particle Size of Graphite Electrode Materials?

图片
  As a   Graphite Electrodes Manufacturer , share it with you. The bending strength of graphite electrode materials and the bending strength of graphite electrode materials are a direct reflection of the strength of the material, reflecting the compactness of the internal structure of the material. Graphite block is a kind of artificial graphite, and artificial graphite is made by artificial heating of coke products. Generally, if it is purified to make high purity, or carbon fiber, the added value is high. Graphite rods are often used as electric heating elements in high-temperature vacuum furnaces. The maximum operating temperature can reach 3000℃. It is easy to oxidize at high temperatures.  Graphite Electrodes Except for vacuum, it can only be used in neutral or reducing atmospheres. Its thermal expansion coefficient is small, thermal conductivity is large, resistivity is (8~13)×10-6 Ω·m, processability is better than SiC, MoSi2 rod, high temperature resistance, extre...
