Figure shows the determined ASI results using the HPPC method for the tested formation strategies after the first capacity check. Conspicuously a larger cell-to-cell variation for the reference cells can be observed with a median ASI value of 24±4 Ohm cm -2 . For the blueish effective C/8.2 cells the CC cells show significantly higher median values around 27 Ohm cm -2 and two outliers in both directions, whereas the pulsed C/5.7 cells present median values around 20 and the cells with doubled pulse length values around 16 Ohm cm -2 .
