Abstract The optimization of geometrical pore control in high-capacity Ni-based cathode materials is required to enhance the cyclic performance of lithium-ion batteries. Enhanced porosity improves lithium-ion mobility by increasing the electrode–electrolyte contact area and reducing the number of ion diffusion pathways. However, excessive porosity can diminish capacity, thus necessitating optimizing pore distribution to compromise the trade-off relation. Accordingly, a statistically meaningful porosity estimation of electrode materials is required to engineer the local pore distribution inside the electrode particles. Conventional scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image-based porosity measurement can be used for this purpose. However, it is labor-intensive and subjected to human bias for low-contrast pore images, thereby potentially lowering measurement accuracy. To mitigate these difficulties, we propose an automated image segmentation method for the reliable porosity measurement of cathode materials using deep convolutional neural networks specifically trained for the analysis of porous cathode materials. Combined with the preprocessed SEM image datasets, the model trained for 100 epochs exhibits an accuracy of > 97% for feature segmentation with regard to pore detection on the input datasets. This automated method considerably reduces manual effort and human bias related to the digitization of pore features in serial section SEM image datasets used in 3D electron tomography.
