The influence of cell designs on battery aging
Sophie Solchenbach, Battery and Pack Developer at BMW, gave a presentation at the TWAICE Vision Summit 2024 entitled "The influence of cell designs decision on the aging behavior of large-format lithium-ion cells".
Sophie analyzed the causes of lithium plating, attributing it to electrolyte motion. As she pointed out: “This low electrolyte cells confirm our theory that electrolyte motion is the reason for the salt gradient build up and lithium plating”

Battery Technology
Batteries are highly complex electrochemical systems with different cell formats and chemistries being used. The processes inside the battery also deserve particular attention.
Why do lithium-ion batteries age, and how to slow it down?
Electric vehicle batteries are costly and sensitive parts, and their performance depends on numerous factors like frequency of charge and discharge, the charging system, driving habits, and external temperature. Until now, it was almost impossible for developers or users of batteries to make any reliable analysis or statement about the current state of the device. However, this information can be now delivered by the digital twin created by TWAICE.
EV Market Dynamics
The electrification of mobility is accelerating quickly and turning the automotive industry and other major industries upside down. With electrification the focus shifts away from the engine towards the batteries.

Improving the accuracy of battery models using the open-circuit-voltage (OCV) curve
The OCV is a key element in electric models of lithium-ion batteries and describes the thermodynamic voltage at equilibrium. In this article, we describe how considering OCV aging is vital when designing and manufacturing electric cars.
BMS vs Analytics
The lack of a standardized approach on how State of Health (SoH) should be calculated and the fact that on-board battery management systems (BMS) alone are not sufficient in assessing battery safety are highlighting the need for battery analytics.
