To the best of our knowledge, (iii) was not previously reported, calling for further experimental studies aiming to verify and eventually quantify such phenomenon. To further characterize the electrode mesostructures, the evolution of the different phase fractions (macro pores, CBD and AM) along the electrode thickness is reported in Figure . In terms of solid phases (Figure A), it is observable that the electrodes dried at lower DRs contain more AM in the first half of their thickness and lower in the second half, with respect to the ones dried at higher DRs. Lower DRs also leads to higher fraction of CBD in the bottom of the electrode and lower at its top when compared to higher DRs, while not significant differences can be observed for their central region. If the second trend was expected and already discussed (higher DR lead to lower/higher amount of CBD in the bottom/top region of the electrode), the first one is linked to the AM particles sedimentation. Faster solvent removal lead to reach more rapidly the transition between the first and the second drying regime, leaving less time to AM particles to sediment. In our model, it was found that the porosity defined as setpoint for switching from the first regime to the second one (where the final AM backbone is formed) was reached at normalized times of ~0.79 and ~0.62 for the lowest and highest DRs, respectively. The middle DRs (1.1 / 1.4 and 1.2 / 1.8)
