Abstract: 

The influence of the structural parameters of lithium battery cathodes on their characteristics has been studied. To explain the results obtained, a macrokinetic model of the electrode was applied, and mathematical simulation of the electrode discharge process was conducted. The nested ball model was used to describe the electrode structure. The data obtained during simulation are in good agreement with the practical results of electrode testing, which confirms the need for targeted optimization of the particle sizes in the cathode.
