Premature battery drain, swelling and fires/explosions in lithium-ion batteries have caused wide-scale customer concerns, product recalls, and huge financial losses in a wide range of products including smartphones, laptops, e-cigarettes, hoverboards, cars, and commercial aircraft.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in electric vehicles and energy-storage power stations owing to their advantages in terms of high energy density and long cycle life [ , , , ]. However, manufacturing defects seriously affect the safety and durability of LIBs [ 5, 6 ].
According to the defect size and position, the capacity loss could be 1 to 10 2 mA h and the leakage current could be 5–50 mA. Results remove the barriers for defective battery safety risk evaluation, enabling identification, monitoring, and early warning of minor damaged batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries inevitably suffer minor damage or defects caused by external mechanical abusive loading, e.g., penetration, deformation, and scratch without triggering a hard/major short circuit. The replacement of cells becomes a dilemma if the safety risk of the defective batteries remains unknown.
In principle, destructive and non-destructive analysis methods can be used to detect defects in batteries, although only the latter are reasonable in the production environment of the value chain as they do not degrade battery performance [35].
In particular, we identify different impurity particles in the composite cathode and reveal their roles in the battery functionality. Our data suggest that the defect particles in the LIB cathode could affect the local chemistry directly through engaging in the redox reactions or indirectly through affecting the particles’ self-assembling process.
