The paper focuses on the development and verification of a quantitative micromechanical model for evaluation of the overall electrical conductivity of electrodes in Li-ion batteries. Based on microstructural observations, the cathode is modeled as a multiphase composite consisting of PVDF/C matrix, spherical particles made of the active component Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2, oblate spheroidal graphite particles and concave pores. Effective electrical conductivity of such a multiphase material is evaluated using Maxwell homogenization techniques and compared with the experimental data available in literature. The agreement is generally very good and allow extraction of information about porous space geometry required for evaluation of other physical properties of the material.
