=== Half-Cell Approach ===
=== Half-Cell Approach ===
The pseudo-open-circuit voltage (pseudo-OCV) method is a practical and widely used approach for characterizing the equilibrium potential of intercalation electrodes as a function of their state of charge. When implemented in half-cell configurations, the method enables direct observation of electrode potential under near-equilibrium conditions. These measurements are critical for building accurate, physics-based models of electrochemical systems.
The pseudo-open-circuit voltage (pseudo-OCV) method is a practical and widely used approach for characterizing the equilibrium potential of intercalation electrodes as a function of their state of charge. When implemented in half-cell configurations, the method observes the working electrode voltage versus a reference electrode under near-equilibrium conditions. These measurements are critical for building accurate, physics-based models of electrochemical systems.

The pseudo-OCV method is suitable for both harvested and freshly fabricated electrodes. When applied to newly manufactured electrodes, it enables early-stage evaluation of electrochemical behavior, thermodynamic reversibility, and suitability for integration into devices.

To ensure valid results, fresh electrodes should be adequately formed to stabilize their initial behavior. It may be that the pseudo-OCV protocol itself is sufficient to do formation or conditioning on some electrodes; further research on this topic is needed.

The test temperature must also be recorded, as electrode potentials are typically temperature dependent. If the electrode is newly fabricated, its formation and cycling history should be documented to confirm stability and representative behavior.
