LAMMPS software was utilized to execute all the manufacturing simulations for this work-the slurry, drying and calendering. Approximately 40 AM, 420 SE and 4630 CBD particles were simulated accounting for more 5000 particles. The CBD particle size was 7.5 μm in the slurry phase and 3 μm for the dried and calendered electrodes. During the slurry simulations, the CBD particles were enlarged to encompass the carbon, binder and solvent, then the CBD particles were shrunk down to exclude the solvent after its evaporation during drying.
