1. Introduction
As a popular energy storage carrier, lithium-ion battery (LIB) has been widely used in our daily life. With the increas eof the application scenarios, the safety of the LIBs receives higher requirements. The charging and discharging processes of the LIBs are usually accompanied by the structure swelling with diferent degrees. On the one hand the structure swelling will affect the assembly space of the LIBs, on the other hand, the accumulation of the side reactions caused by the irreversible swelling will also lead to the structural destruction of the active material and accelerate the capacity fading. For a single cell, there are several methods for characterizing its swelling performance, such as applying a certain pressure on the surface of a single cell, and testing the swelling force or the swelling thickness of the cell. However, the swelling parameters measured by all these methods include the swelling of multiple positive and negative electrodes, separators and aluminum plastic film or aluminum shell, which cannot accurately analyze the swelling property of a material.
