Once these two cases with different cohesion were obtained, its impact on the electrode properties can be studied. To calculate the structural parameters of the resulting electrode a similar procedure is used as in our previous publication. The details are specified in the SI section. Due to the difficulty in accurately measuring some of the AM and BC properties, those values are calculated from estimated parameters. While no absolute values are provided, our characterization allows us to compare between simulation cases. The 3D-resolved electrode microstructures for each case are depicted in Fig 5 . Case D has higher electrical conductivity (< + ) mainly because of the lower porosity (=) that allows the presence of more conductive BC particles. On the other hand, mesostructure C presents a lower tortuosity factor (>) and a higher effective diffusivity ( +,, ) which means higher ionic conductivity. This highlights a compromise between electrical and ionic conductivities
