Abstract Li-ion batteries are the preferred choice of energy storage in many applications. However, the potential for fire and explosion due to mechanical damage remains a safety concern. Currently, there are no criteria for the extent of the mechanical damage under which the batteries are safe to use. Here, we investigate the effects of bending damage to Li-ion cells on their impedance spectra. After the initial characterization of four Li-ion pouch cells, one of the cells underwent a three-point bending load. We measured the impedance spectra of this cell after each increment of loading. The impedance data of the control group cells were collected at the same intervals as the damaged cell. A distributed equivalent circuit model (dECM) was developed using the data from the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) procedure. We observed that several model parameters such as the magnitude of constant phase elements had similar trends in the control cells and the bent cell. However, some model parameters such as resistances in parallel with constant phase elements, and the inductor showed dependency on the extent of the damage. These results suggest the potential for use of such parameters as an indicator of mechanical damage when visual inspection of cells is not possible in a battery pack setup. Future steps include investigation of similar trends for other commercial batteries,chemistries, and form factors to verify the applicability of the current findings in a broader context.

Spinel structural Li2MTi3O8 ( M = Mg, Mg0.5Zn0.5 ) nanowires have been successfully synthesized using titanate nanowires as a precursor and then have been used for the first time as anode materials in a rechargeable Li -ion battery. The cell composed of Li2MgTi3O8 nanowires exhibited a discharge capacity of 232 mAhg-1 at the second cycle, while only 159 mAhg-1 was obtained for the bulk prepared by a solid state reaction. The results of electrochemical impedance spectra indicate that spinel structural Li2MTi3O8 ( M = Mg, Mg0.5Zn0.5 ) nanowires can significantly reduce the charge transfer impedance, leading to enhanced capability of electrochemical lithium storage.

The impedance of a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery has been shown to be a valuable tool in evaluating the battery characteristics such as the state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH). Recent studies have shown impedance-measurement methods based on broadband pseudo-random sequences (PRS) and Fourier techniques. The methods can be efficiently applied in real-time applications where the conventional electrochemical-impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is not well suited to measure the impedance. The techniques based on the PRS are, however, strongly affected by the battery nonlinearities. This paper presents the use of a direct-synthesis ternary (DST) signal to minimize the effect caused by the nonlinearities. In such a signal, the second- and third-order harmonics are suppressed from the signal energy spectrum. As a result, the effect of the second- and third-order nonlinearities are suppressed from the impedance measurements. The impedance measurements are carried out for a nickel manganese cobalt Li-ion battery cell. The performance of the method is compared to the conventional EIS, as well as to other PRS signals which are more prone to battery nonlinearities. The Kronig–Kramers (K–K) transformation test is used to validate the uniqueness of the measured impedance spectra. It is shown that the measurement method based on the DST produces highly accurate impedance measurements under nonlinear distortions of the battery. The method shows a good K–K test behavior indicating that the measured impedance complies well to a linearized equivalent circuit model that can be used for the SOC and SOH estimation of the battery. Due to the good performance, low measurement time, and simplicity of the DST, the method is well suited for practical battery applications.

A new and highly rough nickel electrode is fabricated based on in-situ assembling of prickly nickel nanowires, synthesized by electroless deposition method on a layer of nickel freshly preelectrodeposited on copper, constructing Cu-Ni-PNNWs. Then, the fabricated electrode is studied for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER). Surface morphology of the electrodes is characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) microanalysis. Kinetics of the HER is studied in 0.5 M H2SO4 on Cu-Ni-PNNWs electrode in comparison with Ni and Cu-Ni electrodes. Evaluation of the electrode activities is carried out by steady-state polarization curves (Tafel plots) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results obtained by electrochemical characterizations have shown that the Cu-Ni-PNNWs electrode benefits of high electrocatalytic activity for the HER. The EIS data are approximated using appropriate equivalent circuit model, and values of the model parameters are extracted. Analysis of the EIS results has revealed that the double layer capacitance (Cdl) and exchange current density (j0) of the Cu-Ni-PNNWs electrode are increased by factors of ~ 47 and ~ 19 times, respectively, compared with Cu-Ni. Up to our knowledge, this is the first finding of this type, reporting synthesis and activity of the Cu-Ni-PNNWs electrode for the HER.

A real time simulation of battery conditions is an essential step in the development of energy harvesting devices. Since it is not possible to have a direct measurement, the battery information, such as the remaining charge, need to be estimated by means of model-based estimation algorithms. Most of the existing models describing battery behaviour, are suitable only for a constant discharge current. This paper proposes a study of the dependence of the equivalent circuit model parameters on different discharge conditions. The model presented provides a powerful tool to represent the batteries’ behaviour in energy harvesting systems, involving continuous charge and discharge cycles. The extraction of parameters was performed, starting from a set of reference curves generated in Matlab Simulink environment, referring to Li-ion technology batteries. The parameters were extracted by means of a cascade of global and local search identification algorithms. Finally, the relations describing parameters’ behaviours as functions of the discharge current are presented.

Internal resistance is one of the important parameters in the Li-Ion battery. This paper identifies it using two different methods: electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and parameter estimation based on equivalent circuit model (ECM). Comparing internal resistance, the conventional parameter estimation method yields a different value than EIS. Therefore, a hysteresis-free parameter identification method based on ECM is proposed. The proposed technique separates hysteresis resistance from the effective resistance. It precisely estimated actual internal resistance, which matches the internal resistance obtained from EIS. In addition, state of charge, open circuit voltage, and different internal equivalent circuit components were identified. The least square method was used to identify the parameters based on ECM. A parameter extraction algorithm to interpret impedance spectrum obtained from the EIS. The algorithm is based on the properties of Nyquist plot, phasor algebra, and resonances. Experiments were conducted using a cellphone pouch battery and a cylindrical 18650 battery.

The knowledge of the electrochemical processes inside a Fuel Cell (FC) is useful for improving FC diagnostics, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is one of the most used techniques for electrochemical characterization. This paper aims to propose the identification of a Fractional-Order Transfer Function (FOTF) able to represent the FC behavior in a set of working points. The model was identified by using a data-driven approach. Experimental data were obtained testing a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) to measure the cell impedance. A genetic algorithm was firstly used to determine the sets of fractional-order impedance model parameters that best fit the input data in each analyzed working point. Then, a method was proposed to select a single set of parameters, which can represent the system behavior in all the considered working conditions. The comparison with an equivalent circuit model taken from the literature is reported, showing the advantages of the proposed approach.

Battery state of charge (SOC) accuracy plays a vital role in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), as it ensures battery safety in a harsh operating environment, prolongs life, lowers the cost of energy consumption, and improves driving mileage. Therefore, accurate SOC battery estimation is the central idea of the approach in this research, which is of great interest to readers and increases the value of its application. Moreover, an accurate SOC battery estimate relies on the accuracy of the battery model parameters and its capacity. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to design, implement and analyze the SOC estimation accuracy of two battery models, which capture the dynamics of a rechargeable SAFT Li-ion battery. The first is a resistor capacitor (RC) equivalent circuit model, and the second is a generic Simscape model. The model validation is based on the generation and evaluation of the SOC residual error. The SOC reference value required for the calculation of residual errors is the value estimated by an ADVISOR 3.2 simulator, one of the software tools most used in automotive applications. Both battery models are of real interest as a valuable support for SOC battery estimation by using three model based Kalman state estimators developed in Part 2. MATLAB simulations results prove the effectiveness of both models and reveal an excellent accuracy.
