Improving high rate cycling limitations of thick sintered battery electrodes by mitigating molecular transport limitations through modifying electrode microstructure and electrolyte conductivity

For batteries, thicker electrodes increase energy density, however, molecular transport limits the rate of charge/discharge for extracting large fractions of available energy. Mitigating transport limitations by increasing electrolyte conductivity and aligning the pores in the electrode microstructure are described.
