The research on lithium-ion batteries began with the rocking-chair battery concept proposed by Armand et al. in 1972. The commercialization began with the lithium cobalt oxide battery launched by SONY in 1991. After more than 30 years of iterative upgrades, it has been maturely applied to consumer electronic products, Power tools and other small-capacity battery markets have shown great applicatio...
What is pre-lithiation? For a full battery, the SEI film formed at the negative electrode interface will consume the lithium ions deintercalated from the positive electrode and reduce the capacity of the battery. If we can find another lithium source outside the positive electrode material, so that the formation of the SEI film consumes the lithium ions of the external lithium source, so that the ...
In the above half-cell article, the reasons for the first efficiency of the positive and negative electrode material half-cells were introduced. In fact, in the final analysis, the first efficiency is a type of capacity loss. When the positive and negative materials with the first efficiency at the same time form a full battery, what will the first efficiency look like? What is the impact of the f...
Regardless of whether a full cell or a half cell, the performance of the first charge and discharge will be significantly different from the subsequent cycles. The description parameter for this characteristic is the first efficiency. The discussion of the first efficiency should be divided into half cells and full cells; and a major improvement scheme for the first efficiency: pre-lithiation. Aft...
The depth of discharge of lithium-ion batteries, the factors that limit the depth of discharge of lithium-ion batteries. Since the lithium-ion battery is charged, there must be discharge. In theory, the discharge process of the lithium-ion battery is balanced. When discharging, pay attention to the discharge rate and the depth of discharge. The depth of discharge is the ratio of the discharge amou...
The charge-discharge rate performance of a lithium-ion battery is directly related to the mobility of lithium ions at the positive and negative electrodes, the electrolyte, and the interface between them. The internal resistance) will affect the charge-discharge rate performance of lithium-ion batteries. In addition, the heat dissipation rate inside the battery is also an important factor affectin...
Two performance indicators of lithium-ion batteries: energy density and charge-discharge rate Briefly analyze the two performance indicators of lithium-ion batteries: energy density and charge-discharge rate Energy density refers to the amount of energy that can be stored per unit volume or weight. Of course, the higher the index, the better. Everything that is concentrated is the essence. The cha...
Lithium-ion batteries are a very complex system with many different decay mechanisms. It is very important to study the battery decay problem. Battery aging mechanisms and their modeling are key scientific issues in the field of battery research. The attenuation of capacity and power may be caused by a variety of complex side reactions. Factors such as the battery's design, productio...
The same batteries will have completely different lifespans under different operating conditions. The main factors affecting battery life are: high temperature (accelerating internal side reactions); low temperature (easy to reduce metal ions, easy to deposit lithium, easy to destroy the crystal structure of active materials); high SOC or overcharge (electrolyte decomposition, ...
