From SEM it is found that the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface layers at the graphite electrode surface increase upon aging. Deformation of the graphite structure is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. XPS analyses show that transition metals dissolved from cathode are deposited onto the graphite electrode. Cathode dissolution at elevated temperatures is further confirmed by ICP measurements. Apart from postmortem analyses, a novel non-destructive approach is proposed to quantify the graphite electrode decay. A comprehensive electrochemistry model is proposed to simulate the irreversible capacity loss under various aging conditions. The dependence of the capacity loss on aging conditions, such as storage state of charge, cycling current, temperature, etc. is simulated and the simulations are in good agreement with the experiments. The degradation model allows researchers to have an in-depth understanding of aging mechanisms and therefore helps manufacturers to improve battery performance by optimizing manufacturing procedures. Moreover, the model can be further used to predict the battery cycle life, which can be used to develop more accurate battery management systems to increase battery efficiency and safety.","PeriodicalId":366270,"journal":{"name":"Future Lithium-ion Batteries","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133258543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike existing batteries that are built on metallic bulk current collectors, all of the structures in the new battery, including electrodes, are primarily made of resin. The underlying concept of this development is called “large-scale integrated polymer”. Various characteristics are exhibited by a battery that uses resin as the main component. The battery has a physically flexible structure, increasing the degree of freedom of the device in which it is used and the risk of metal contamination during manufacturing, which might cause fire accidents, is reduced. Even if metal enters the battery from the outside, theoretically it is difficult to generate heat, and hence safety is enhanced. With the present structure of the battery, which consists of laminated layers of metal and resin, it is difficult to increase the size of the battery because of the application of external force and the internal stress due to charge and discharge; however, this is easily achieved in the new battery. The safety design, in case of abuse, may be approached from a new perspective. It also leads to higher power output and longer life.","PeriodicalId":366270,"journal":{"name":"Future Lithium-ion Batteries","volume":"469 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116093926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among several important components of LIBs, cathode materials play a significant role in contributing to cost, safety issues, and more importantly energy density. For this concern, Ni-rich cathode materials are indispensable because of their high capacity, reaching over 200 mAh g−1. To commercialize Ni-rich cathode material, tremendous work has been carried out to stabilize the crystal structure and minimize the side reaction with electrolytes, namely, doping, surface modification from nano- to microscale, densification of secondary particles, morphological alternation of primary particles in a secondary particle, and so on.

Typical examples of such grid connected stationary applications are described in this chapter. These include small residential as well as commercial battery storage for increased self-consumption and self-sufficiency. The principles of system design and the integration of the key components such as inverter and energy management are described for such applications. Furthermore, test results of market available products show the achievements but also the remaining optimization potential, which has to be addressed in future developments.

The electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries can be mainly divided into liquid electrolyte, gel polymer electrolyte and solid electrolyte. The liquid electrolyte used in commercialized lithium-ion batteries is based on lithium salt dissolved in organic solvents. It provides high ionic conductivity, acceptable electrochemical stability and good cycle performance. However, the use of liquid electrolytes has brought risks associated with leakage and fire hazards due to the highly flammable nature of the organic solvents. Therefore, there is a pressing need for safer and more reliable electrolyte systems. Solid electrolytes provide a promising opportunity to tackle the safety issue. However, they show low ionic conductivities at ambient temperature and poor interfacial characteristics with electrodes, resulting in deteriorated cycling performance. In this respect, gel polymer electrolytes with combined advantages of both the liquid and solid electrolytes have received considerable attention due to their high ionic conductivity, good interfacial adhesion to electrodes and effective encapsulation of organic solvents in the cell, resulting in the suppression of solvent leakage and enhanced safety.

A standard process for LIB manufacturing includes: ink mixing, coating and drying, cell construction and design, and the formation and conditioning steps. The material properties determine the mixing methodologies, and hence the dispersion of the particles in a mix or a slurry. Advancements in mixing technologies have been observed at large scale with a continuous process, however at small scale high energy and high torque mixing are still the main mixing methods. The main coating technology for thick electrode lithium ion cells is the slot die or comma bar techniques; alternative techniques such as electrostatic sprayings, and electrophoretic coatings are still mainly used for thinner electrode coatings. Advancements are being made in electrostatic dry coating and laser technologies. One of the most costly manufacturing procedures is the formation and conditioning step, and this process can be shortened by short high voltage cycling rather than complete cycles. Due to the complex interplay of each process upon the final design, structure and hence properties of the lithium ion battery, when one parameter is changed, it can affect the final performance of the cell. The knock-on effects of the parameter changes are not completely understood until a cell has been manufactured and tested.
