Abstract

The direct current (DC) method is the primary technique to evaluate the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries. Most experimental techniques developed for micro-sized electrodes can be applied to nano-sized electrodes. This chapter introduces the preparation of standard test cells with nano-sized electrodes and evaluation techniques using DC methods at the laboratory level.
