Graphite electrodes in the lithium-ion battery exhibit various particle shapes, including spherical and platelet morphologies, which influence structural and electrochemical characteristics. It is well established that porous structures exhibit spatial heterogeneity, and the particle morphology can influence transport properties. The impact of the particle morphology on the heterogeneity and anisotropy of geometric and transport properties has not been previously studied. Herein, this study characterizes the spatial heterogeneities of 18 graphite electrodes at multiple length scales by calculating and comparing the structural anisotropy, geometric quantities, and transport properties (pore-scale tortuosity and electrical conductivity). We found that the particle morphology and structural anisotropy play an integral role in determining the spatial heterogeneity of directional tortuosity and its dependency on pore-scale heterogeneity. Our analysis reveals that the magnitude of in-plane and through-plane tortuosity difference influences the multiscale heterogeneity in graphite electrodes.
