The shear viscosity can give relative insights into the undergoing structural changes taking place during slurry coating due to the application stress deformation. This curve can be used to fit the FF parameters, which are unknown beforehand. In our case, the shear rate-viscosity curve and slurry density for the slurry, and the porosity of the dried and calendered electrode. The simulated density of the slurry is fitted to match the slurry density that was measured experimentally which was 1.90 g•cm -3 . From Figure , it can be remarked that the slurry model and the results of its nE-CGMD viscosity simulations and the experimental observables demonstrate acceptable agreement results making the models considered as a digital representative for further assumptions. After the fitting of the slurry density and viscosity, the slurry 3D microstructure model was utilized to account for the particles' initial position for the drying and calendering simulations. Where for the dried electrode simulations, the NPT environment is set to be 300 K and 1 atm throughout the simulation. The drying starts with the shrinkage of the CBD particles to 3 μm to mimic the evaporation of the solvent with the whole system being under 1 atm pressure as the slurry thickens to the dried electrode state under ambient room conditions. There was a difference in the porosity between simulations and experiments where the simulated porosity was 35.0% and the experimental porosity is 50.7%. This high experimental porosity causes low ionic conductivity and short Li ion pathways within the electrode. Unlike the traditional LIB where the liquid electrolyte fills the pores, in SSB the optimal porosity is zero.
