Discs of diameter 14.8 mm (cathode) and 15 mm (anode) were punched from the calendered electrode sheets. The graphite anode coat weight was adjusted to achieve NP ratios in the range 1.1 -1.2. 2032 coin cells were assembled in a glovebox with Argon atmosphere, utilising 100 µl of electrolyte (1 M LiPF6 in 3:7 EC:EMC + 2 % Vinylene Carbonate) and Celgard 2325 separator. The cells were allowed to soak for a period of 10 hours, after which they underwent a formation process, consisting of two cycles at a rate of C/20. Testing consisted of performing 100 cycles at a rate of C/3, utilising a constant-currentconstant-voltage (CCCV) charging protocol in which the CV stage terminated when current reached C/30.
