Total and regional deposition, as well as agglomerate break-up and aerosolisation, is dependent upon three factors: (1) impact velocity and inelastic component of momentum (agglomerate fracture/compressive forces), (2) forces imparted by the airstream (to detach/reentrain particles), and (3) the elastic component of the particles …

Again, cells with core-shell particles have a higher lithiation compared to cells with agglomerate particles due to shorter diffusion paths. Figure 5d shows that for low C-rates of 0.5, 1 and 2C cells with agglomerate particles achieve higher energy densities than with core-shell particles at 0.5, 1 and 2C. This is due to the sufficient time ...
The agglomerate-particle has a diameter of d A = 60 μ m, a free surface energy of Δ γ = 72 × 1 0-4 J / m 2, and a relative velocity of 5 m / s. The dimensionless numbers are similar to the first test, although there are somewhat more small child particles. The mass fraction of broken off small particles is 0.1101.
As described previously, the particles which have their bonds with the agglomerate broken spread and reduce the level of stress on the rest of the assembly. Consequently, a residual cluster always survives, irrespective of velocity in the range tested. The pattern of breakage is affected by the method of preparation.

Kafui and Thornton [2] expressed the extent of damage as the fraction of initial primary particle contacts that were broken as a result of impact. The number of interparticle bonds in agglomerate may be expected to reflect the bulk impact strength of the agglomerate and therefore the damage ratio would quantify the deterioration in the …

This leads to Eq.
