Cover Story: Li-Ion batteries are the dominant power source propelling our society. Optimization of the electrode and cell designs as well as the corresponding production processes is of paramount importance. This paper presents a virtual approach comprising both data-driven and simulation-based techniques. A large set of virtual microstructures with different particle sizes and active and passive material content is generated and morphologically analyzed. Electrochemical simulations are informed by this analysis and link structural properties to electrochemical performance focusing on the role of passive materials in high-energy batteries. The methodology provides an efficient prediction tool for the optimization of electrode formulations and designs. View this paper
