Aiming at the complex experimental conditions of multi-physical field coupling in the analysis of thermal characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, a three-dimensional electrochemical-thermal flow coupling model for lithium-ion batteries was established using COMSOL Multiphysics software. Through the analysis of simulation results, the thermal characteristics of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles were explored from the aspects of heat generation and dissipation. It was found that increasing the charge–discharge rate and the electrode thickness will increase the temperature rise rate of lithium-ion batteries, and the temperature rise rate of lithium-ion batteries is the highest during their first time charging and discharging. Increasing the airflow velocity and reducing the size of the inlet flow area can improve the cooling effect on the cell. Under a single inlet, the cooling effect of the airflow field entering from the negative electrode is better than that from the positive electrode.

Poor cyclic performance of lithium-ion batteries is calling for efforts to study its capacity attenuation mechanism. The internal stress field produced in the lithium-ion battery during its charging and discharging process is a major factor for its capacity attenuation, research on it appears especially important. We established an electrochemical –mechanical coupling model with the consideration of the influence of elastic stiffening on diffusion for graphite anode materials. The results show that the inner stress field strongly depends on the lithium-ion concentration field, greater concentration gradients lead to greater stresses. The evolution of the stress field is similar to that of the concentration gradient but lags behind it, which shows hysteresis phenomenon. Elastic stiffening can lower the concentration gradient and increase elastic modulus, which are two major factors influencing the inner stress field. We conclude that the latter is more dominant compared to the former, and elastic stiffening acts to increasing the internal stress.

Olivine compounds LiFePO4 were prepared by the solid state reaction, and the electrochemical properties were studied with the composite cathode of LiFePO4/mesocarbon nanobead. High discharge rate performance can be achieved with the designed composite cathode of LiFePO4/mesocarbon nanobead. According to the experiment results, batteries with the composite cathode deliver discharge capacity of 1087mAh for 18650 type cell at 20C discharge rate at room temperature. The analysis shows that the uniformity of mesocarbon nanobead around LiFePO4 can supply enough change for electron transporting, which can enhance the rate capability for LiFePO4 cathode lithium ion batteries. It is confirmed that lithium ion batteries with LiFePO4 as cathode are suitable to electric vehicle application.

The lithium-ion battery industry has been developing rapidly, with energy density and capacity constantly improving. However, the ensuing safety accidents of lithium-ion power batteries have seriously threatened the personal safety of passengers. Therefore, more and more attention has been paid to the thermal safety research of lithium-ion batteries, such as thermal runaway (TR) mechanism analysis and prevention methods, etc. In this paper, the nickel-rich 18650 lithium-ion batteries with Li[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]O2 cathode in different states of charge (SOC) are taken to investigate the TR characteristics using an extended volume plus acceleration calorimeter (EV+-ARC). In order to evaluate the TR characteristics, some characteristic parameters such as battery voltage, surface temperature, temperature rise rate, etc. are selected from the experiment to analyze the influence of SOC on the critical state of TR. It can be seen from the experiment results that the maximum temperature of the battery surface decreases with the decrease of SOC, while the self-generated heat temperature and TR trigger temperature increases with the decrease of SOC.

Lithium-ion batteries are an attractive power source in many scenarios. In some particular cases, including providing backup power for drones, frequency modulation, and powering electric tools, lithium-ion batteries are required to discharge at a high rate (2~20 C). In this work, we present a method to estimate the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries with a high discharge rate using the battery’s impedance at three characteristic frequencies. Firstly, a battery model is used to fit the impedance spectrum of twelve LiFePO4 batteries. Secondly, a basic estimation model is built to estimate the SOH of the batteries via the parameters of the battery model. The model is trained using the data of six batteries and is tested on another six. The RMS of relative error of the model is lower than 4.2% at 10 C and lower than 2.8% at 15 C, even when the low-frequency feature of the impedance spectrum is ignored. Thirdly, we adapt the basic model so that the SOH estimation can be performed only using the battery’s impedance at three characteristic frequencies without having to measure the entire impedance spectrum. The RMS of relative error of this adapted model at 10 C and 15 C is 3.11% and 4.25%, respectively.

This work is devoted to the development of porous germanium anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Samples of porous germanium were fabricated by ion implantation of Co+ ions in single-crystal germanium plates. The surface morphology of porous germanium samples with an increase in the implantation dose of Co+ ions was studied. Scanning electron microscopy study revealed that the implantation leaded to the formation of porosity of the surface and the surface morphology differed for different doses of implantation. It is assumed that the obtained Ge material with a porous surface can be used as effective anode material in lithium-ion batteries and will show an increased capacity and charge / discharge rate relative to traditionally used graphite
