Abstract
Since the 1970s, electrochemical dilatometry (ECD) has been used to investigate the dilation of layered host materials due to the intercalation of guest ions, atoms or molecules, and has recently gained traction in application to various electrochemical devices, such as lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), which have electrodes that undergo volume changes during cycling, resulting in particle cracking and electrode degradation. With resolution capabilities spanning tens of microns down to a few nanometres, dilatometry is a valuable tool in understanding how commonly used electrodes dilate and degrade and can therefore be of critical value in improving their performance. In recent years, there has been a plethora of studies using dilatometry as a monitoring tool for understanding operating performance in various electrochemical devices; however, to our knowledge, there has been no in-depth review of this body of research to date. This paper seeks to address this by reviewing how dilatometry works and how it has been used for the characterisation of electrochemical energy storage devices.
