I am fabricating cathodes (LiMn2O4) and testing them v/s lithium and graphite anode with LiPF6 electrolyte using Swagelok cell setup. Before running galvanostatic current with potential limitation (GCPL) test, I would like to know if there is any preconditioning method that needs to be done (eg. SEI formation) before testing the battery for its electrochemical performance.
If possible, please mention your sources.
Thank you.
