LTO anode-based Ion-Lithium batteries with artificial polymer electrolyte sheets consisting of PVdF-HFP, TiO2, and LiBOB as well as commercial sheets and with electrolyte solutions LiTFSI and LiPF6 have been made by assembling method. The changing variables in this study were the ratio between TiO2 and LiBOB for separator sheets and types of electrolytes used, namely, LiTFSI and LiPF6. Some characterizations were undertaken to determine battery performance including battery voltage determination, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) testing to measure battery cell performance, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectrometry (EIS) analysis to measure battery conductivity values. The results showed that the presence of LiBOB and TiO2 at the separator in the battery can improve the performance of LTO-based lithium batteries. Artificial separator sheets with a composition ratio of TiO2: LiBOB of 5:25 with electrolyte solution LiPF6 which produces work stress, potential difference, and ionic conductivity of 3.06 V; 0.3 V; and 1.486x10-6 Scm-1 is the best possible to be applied to lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries have found various modern applications due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge. However, increased use of these batteries has been accompanied by an increase in safety concerns, such as spontaneous fires or explosions due to impact or indentation. Mechanical damage to a battery cell is often enough reason to discard it. However, if an Electric Vehicle is involved in a crash, there is no means to visually inspect all the cells inside a pack, sometimes consisting of thousands of cells. Furthermore, there is no documented report on how mechanical damage may change the electrical response of a cell, which in turn can be used to detect damaged cells by the battery management system (BMS). In this research, we investigated the effects of mechanical deformation on electrical responses of Lithium-ion cells to understand what parameters in electrical response can be used to detect damage where cells cannot be visually inspected. We used charge-discharge cycling data, capacity fade measurement, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in combination with advanced modeling techniques. Our results indicate that many cell parameters may remain unchanged under moderate indentation, which makes detection of a damaged cell a challenging task for the battery pack and BMS designers.

The energy density of canode materials for lithium-ion batteries has a major impact on the driving range of electric vehicles. In order to study the charge-discharge characteristics and application feasibility of Li-NiMnCo lithium-ion batteries for vehicles, a series of charge and discharge experiments were carried out with different rates of Li-NiMnCo lithium-ion batteries (the ratio of nickel, cobalt, and manganese was 5 : 2 : 3) in constant-current-constant-voltage mode. Firstly, a set of charge-discharge experiments were performed on different types of single-cell lithium-ion batteries. The results show that, under temperature conditions, the charge and discharge voltage-capacity curves of the four different types of Li-NiMnCo lithium batteries mentioned in the paper are not much different, and the charge-discharge characteristic curves are similar, indicating that different types of batteries with the same material composition have similar charge and discharge characteristics. Subsequently, a series of charge and discharge tests with different rates were conducted on such ternary lithium batteries. The characteristic curves with different charge-discharge rates indicate that this new type of ternary lithium battery has high current charge and discharge capability and is suitable for use in new energy electric vehicles. In addition, by analyzing the voltage-SOC curve under different magnification conditions, it is known that there is an approximate linear relationship between the battery voltage value and the SOC within a certain SOC range. The SOC value can be evaluated by the battery voltage, which should be controlled within a reasonable range to avoid overcharge or overdischarge of battery, thereby, causing permanent damage to the battery.

Lithium-ion batteries are being increasingly used as the main energy storage devices in modern mobile applications, including modern spacecrafts, satellites, and electric vehicles, in which consistent and severe vibrations exist. As the lithium-ion battery market share grows, so must our understanding of the effect of mechanical vibrations and shocks on the electrical performance and mechanical properties of such batteries. Only a few recent studies investigated the effect of vibrations on the degradation and fatigue of battery cell materials as well as the effect of vibrations on the battery pack structure. This review focused on the recent progress in determining the effect of dynamic loads and vibrations on lithium-ion batteries to advance the understanding of lithium-ion battery systems. Theoretical, computational, and experimental studies conducted in both academia and industry in the past few years are reviewed herein. Although the effect of dynamic loads and random vibrations on the mechanical behavior of battery pack structures has been investigated and the correlation between vibration and the battery cell electrical performance has been determined to support the development of more robust electrical systems, it is still necessary to clarify the mechanical degradation mechanisms that affect the electrical performance and safety of battery cells.

Lithium-ion batteries are being implemented in different large-scale applications, including aerospace and electric vehicles. For these utilizations, it is essential to improve battery cells with a great life cycle because a battery substitute is costly. For their implementation in real applications, lithium-ion battery cells undergo extension during the course of discharging and charging. To avoid disconnection among battery pack ingredients and deformity during cycling, compacting force is exerted to battery packs in electric vehicles. This research used a mechanical design feature that can address these issues. This investigation exhibits a comprehensive description of the experimental setup that can be used for battery testing under pressure to consider lithium-ion batteries’ safety, which could be employed in electrified transportation. Besides, this investigation strives to demonstrate how exterior force affects a lithium-ion battery cell’s performance and behavior corresponding to static exterior force by monitoring the applied pressure at the dissimilar state of charge. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used as the primary technique for this research. It was concluded that the profiles of the achieved spectrums from the experiments seem entirely dissimilar in comparison with the cases without external pressure. By employing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, it was noticed that the pure ohmic resistance, which is related to ion transport resistance of the separator, could substantially result in the corresponding resistance increase.

The distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis of impedance spectra is a proven method to determine the number of occurring polarization processes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), their polarization contributions and characteristic time constants. Direct measurement of a spectrum by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), however, suffers from a high expenditure of time for low-frequency impedances and a lack of general availability in most online applications. In this study, a method is presented to derive the DRT by evaluating the relaxation voltage after a current pulse. The method was experimentally validated using both EIS and the proposed pulse evaluation to determine the DRT of automotive pouch-cells and an aging study was carried out. The DRT derived from time domain data provided improved resolution of processes with large time constants and therefore enabled changes in low-frequency impedance and the correlated degradation mechanisms to be identified. One of the polarization contributions identified could be determined as an indicator for the potential risk of plating. The novel, general approach for batteries was tested with a sampling rate of 10 Hz and only requires relaxation periods. Therefore, the method is applicable in battery management systems and contributes to improving the reliability and safety of LIBs.
