Non-destructive electrode potential and open-circuit voltage aging estimation for lithium-ion batteries

In this publication we extend a state-of-the-art electrode open circuit potential model for blend electrodes and inhomogeneous lithiation. We introduce a bi-level optimization algorithm to estimate the open parameters of the electrode model using measurements conducted on the full-cell level with state-of-the-art testing equipment.

In this publication we extend a state-of-the-art electrode open circuit potential model for blend electrodes and inhomogeneous lithiation. We introduce a bi-level optimization algorithm to estimate the open parameters of the electrode model using measurements conducted on the full-cell level with state-of-the-art testing equipment.

As input for the optimization algorithm, we use data from a pseudo open-circuit voltage aging study to estimate the electrode potential curves, the electrode capacities, and the capacity of cyclable lithium over lifetime without opening the cell. We validate our method against measurements on commercial lithium-ion cells with the electrode materials LFP-C, NMC-SiC and NCA-SiC, and compare the estimated electrode pseudo open-circuit potential curves to measurements conducted on harvested half-cells.

We conclude that the presented non-destructive method of half-cell open-circuit potential modeling offers an alternative to complex cell disassembly and electrode material harvesting for degradation mode analysis.

Modeling Particle Versus SEI Cracking in Lithium-Ion Battery Degradation

This work identifies and systematically compares three different SEI interaction theories, and applies them to experimental degradation data from a commercial lithium-ion cell. It shows that SEI delamination without any cracking of the active particles, and SEI microcracking, where cycling only affects SEI growth during the cycle itself, are both unlikely candidates.

Mechanistic cycle aging model for the open-circuit voltage curve of lithium-ion batteries

Cycling lithium-ion batteries causes capacity fade, but also changes the shape of the open-circuit voltage (OCV) curve, due to loss of active material (LAM) and loss of lithium inventory (LLI). To model this change, we recently proposed a novel empirical calendar aging model that is parameterized on component states of health (s) instead of capacity fade only.
