It demonstrates how individual aging modes—the loss of accessible active material from an electrode or the depletion of cyclable lithium ions—affect the capacities and balancing between the electrodes. These changes are visualized by color-coded surfaces that represent electrode potentials in the full cell′s cyclation window, transitioning from green to red to indicate degradation. Such alterations lead to a measurable capacity fade and changes in the full cell′s potential curve, as depicted by the differential voltage curve. The underlying work combines this mechanistic model with a data-driven model approach of the individual aging modes to predict both capacity fade and changes to the potential curve under various aging conditions. This will help to enhance understanding and prediction of battery degradation and can be the basis for a more precise onboard state-of-charge and state-of-health estimation of degraded batteries.

However, the target battery lifetime is 8–10 years, which implies low ageing rates that lead to an unacceptably long ageing test duration under real operation conditions. Therefore, ageing characterisation tests need to be accelerated to obtain ageing patterns in a period ranging from a few weeks to a few months. Known strategies, such as increasing the severity of stress factors, for example, temperature, current, and taking measurements with particularly high precision, need care in application to achieve meaningful results. We observe that this challenge does not receive enough attention in typical ageing studies. Therefore, this review introduces the definition and challenge of accelerated ageing along existing methods to accelerate the characterisation of battery ageing and lifetime modelling. We systematically discuss approaches along the existing literature. In this context, several test conditions and feasible acceleration strategies are highlighted, and the underlying modelling and statistical perspective is provided.

However, its implementation comes with challenges, as silicon exhibits a large volumetric expansion. This is a significant factor contributing to the decreased lifespan of these batteries, one of the critical degradation mechanisms from a mechanical perspective is the delamination of electrode structure. The cyclability of these anodes is noted to be influenced by the interaction between the binder and particles during battery cycling. The heavy local strain experienced by particles in these electrodes often leads to binder failure, resulting in particle detachment, or delamination over multiple cycles. A good understanding of the local evolution of the strain is essential in advancing the mechanical modelling of the degradation mechanism and in realizing the complete potential of silicon-based electrodes. In this work, in situ global and local strain measurements were performed by combining synchrotron tomography with Digital volume correlation (DVC). The measurements showed that there is significant local strain in these electrodes which can lead to delamination. In addition to this, the spatial variability of the composite electrodes was characterized by estimating the characteristic length to strain, which can be used to replicate the strain field and model the delamination.","PeriodicalId":132,"journal":{"name":"Batteries & Supercaps","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The atomic structures of monolayer graphdiyne (MGDY), bilayer AB(β1)-stacking graphdiyne (AB(β1)BGDY) and nitrogen-doped AB(β1)BGDY (N-AB(β1)BGDY) at different lithiation states were thoroughly investigated.

Besides increasing the capacity through a bilayer-structure, it is possible to tailor its structural stability and band gap by doping. Especially shown for N-AB(β1)BGDY (~1%), an increased structural stability and a decreased band gap of 0.24 eV is found.
