Thinning of battery cells

These assumptions are used in the battery cell design model to assess the impact of foil thickness reductions on the specific energy of battery cell chemistries. Fig. 3 -(a) and Fig. 3 -(b) demonstrate an average improvement of 13 % and 6 % in the specific energy of LiB cells over time due to thinning anode and cathode current collector foils, respectively.

What causes a battery to deteriorate?

With each cycle, various physical and chemical processes contribute to the gradual degradation of the battery components . Mechanical stress resulting from the expansion and contraction of electrode materials, particularly in the anode, can lead to structural damage and decreased capacity .

What happens if a battery loses capacity?

Over time, the gradual loss of capacity in batteries reduces the system’s ability to store and deliver the expected amount of energy. This capacity loss, coupled with increased internal resistance and voltage fade, leads to decreased energy density and efficiency.

What causes battery degradation?

Several factors contribute to battery degradation. One primary cause is cycling, where the repeated charging and discharging of a battery causes chemical and physical changes within the battery cells. This leads to the gradual breakdown of electrode materials, diminishing the ability of the battery to hold a charge.

How does a short circuit affect a thin electrode cell?

When the external short circuit happened, the discharging capacities of Cell-1 and Cell-3 were 62.3% and 62.6% of their nominal capacities, respectively, whereas Cell-2 and Cell-4's were 27.0% and 41.8%. The voltage and capacity variations of Cell-1 and Cell-3 are identical, so 100 cycles at 3C-rate have no effect on the thin electrode cell.

Why are Lib batteries aging so much?

In addition, the main reason for the difference in the aging characteristics of LIBs due to the depth of charge/discharge is the length of the charge/discharge time and the increase in the activity inside the battery caused by heat generation.

Why does a thick electrode battery lose voltage after cycling?

After cycling, the thick electrode battery aged, and the aging effect accelerated during short circuits, causing the voltage to decrease. Thick electrode cells had a drop in voltage after cycling due to an increase in the ohmic resistance and polarization resistance.
