The diluted electrode method for understanding the mechanism behind faster sodium-ion battery charging

Caption

These images depict electrodes with different ratios of hard carbon (red) to Al2O3 (green), the latter of which is electrochemically inert. Using the more diluted versions of the electrode, certain rate-limiting phenomena can be avoided, enabling scientists to more accurately measure ion kinetics in hard carbon.
