The same principle as in a Daniell cell, where the reactants are higher in energy than the products, 18 applies to a lithium-ion battery; the low molar Gibbs free energy of lithium in the positive electrode means that lithium is more strongly bonded there and thus lower in

The tendency of the negative electrode to increase in thickness during the charging process roughly follows three stages : a rapid increase in thickness from SOC 0% to SOC 25%, a slow increase while charging to SOC 75%, and finally another rapid increase in thickness from SOC 75% to SOC 100%.
