The Li-plating behavior of Li-ion batteries under fast-charging conditions is elusive due to a lack of reliable indicators of the Li-plating onset. In this work, the relaxation time constant of the charge-transfer process (τ ) is proposed to be promising for the determination of Li-plating onset. A novel pulse/relaxation test method enables rapid access to the τ of the graphite anode during battery operation, applicable to both half and full batteries. The diagnosis of Li plating at varying temperatures and charging rates enriches the cognition of Li-plating behaviors. Li plating at low temperatures and high charging rates can be avoided because of the battery voltage limitations. Nevertheless, after the onset, severe Li plating evolves rapidly under harsh charging conditions, while the Li-plating process under benign charging conditions is accompanied by a simultaneous Li-intercalation process. The quantitative estimates indicate that Li plating at high temperatures/high charging rates leads to more irreversible capacity losses. This facile method with rational scientific principles can provide inspiration for exploring the safe boundaries of Li-ion batteries.

Article Synopsis
  • Lithium-ion batteries are crucial for the electric vehicle (EV) industry due to their high energy density, low discharge rate, and long lifespan, making accurate State of Charge (SOC) estimation important for performance improvement.
  • The proposed method combines the Thevenin 2RC battery model to capture the battery's non-linear dynamics with the Unscented Kalman Bucy Filter (UKBF) to enhance SOC estimation by dealing with measurement noise and nonlinearities.
  • A simulation in Matlab Simulink reveals that the UKBF outperforms other estimation methods like EKF and UKF, achieving a notably lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.003276 for SOC estimation.

ConspectusWater-in-salt electrolytes (WiSEs) are promising electrolytes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), offering critical advantages like nonflammability and improved safety. These electrolytes have extremely high salt concentrations and exhibit unique solvation structures and transport mechanisms dominated by the formation of ion networks and aggregates. These ion networks are central to the performance of WiSEs, govern the transport properties and stability of the electrolyte, deviating from conventional dilute aqueous or organic electrolytes.

A novel polymer electrolyte based on CsPbI quantum dots (QDs) reinforced polyacrylonitrile (PAN), named as PIL, is exploited to address the low room-temperature (RT) ion conductivity and poor interfacial compatibility of polymer solid-state electrolytes. After optimizing the content of CsPbI QDs, RT ion conductivity of PIL largely increased from 0.077 to 0.

Whenever the cycling of Li-ion batteries is stopped, the electrode materials undergo a relaxation process, but the structural changes that occur during relaxation are not well-understood. We have used operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction with a time resolution of 1.24 s to observe the structural changes that occur when the lithiation of graphite and LiFePO electrodes are interrupted.

Herein, a novel composite solid-state polymer electrolytes (CSEs) was regulated by introducing CoNi-MOF (Metal-organic framework) @NiPc (Nickel phthalocyanine) nanofiller (CMN) into PEO (polyethylene oxide) matrix. In this novel system, the NiPc uniformly wrapped around the surface of MOF through hydrogen bond bridging, avoiding the agglomeration of the MOF particles. The chemisorption between Ni in NiPc and the O atoms in the bis(triffuoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion (TFSI) restricted the mobility of the anions within the CSEs, which improved the release of Li ions from the NiPcLi.
