The present work developed an ellipsoid-based simulated annealing method and numeri- cally reconstructed the three-dimensional microstructure of a graphite anode. The reconstructed anode is a composite of three clearly distinguished phases: pore (or electrolyte), graphite, and solid additives, well representing the non- isotropic heterogeneous characteristic of real graphite anode. Characterization analysis of the reconstructed electrode gives information such as the connectivity of individual phase, the specific interracial area between solid and pore phase, and the pore size distribution. The effects of the ellipsoid size on the structural characteristics of graphite anode were particularly studied. As the size of the ellipsoidal particle slightly increases, the average pore diameter increases and as a result the specific interfacial area between the solid and pore phase in the reconstructed area decreases; compared with the equatorial radius, the polar radius of ellipsoidal graphite particles has more sig- nificant influence on the characteristics of electrode microstructure.展开更多

The distribution of graphite particies in QTi3.5-15/graghite slurry was studied using cold quenching method. The results show that solid fraction of QTi3.5-15/graphite slurry increases with the decreasing of stirring temperature. There is a linear relationship between solid fraction and stirring temperature. With the increasing of solid fraction, the distribution of graphite particies in slurry becomes uniform gradually. When the solid fraction is larger than 45%, the rising of graphite particies in slurry can be restricted, and QTi3.5-15/graghite slurry with uniform distribution of graphite particies can be prepared.展开更多
