“…In most cases, the solid-state diffusion of Li ions with rather low values of D Li + may control the rate-determining step of the intercalation process, although there may be particular cases where the rate-determining step is diffusion in the electrolyte solution within the pores of the composite electrodes [26]. Several techniques, such as the cyclic voltammetry (CV) [14,25,27,[16][17][18][19][20], electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) [13,14,25,27,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22], and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) [14,15,18,23,24,27], have been extensively used to measure the chemical diffusion coefficient. The CV can give us quantitative information on the nature of electrode process, and the reversibility, stability and phase transformations during intercalation and de-intercalation reactions [28].…”
