Abstract As lithium-ion batteries become increasingly prevalent in electric scooters, vehicles, mobile devices, and energy storage systems, accurate estimation of remaining battery capacity is crucial for optimizing system performance and reliability. Unlike traditional methods that rely on static alternating internal resistance (SAIR) measurements in an open-circuit state, this study presents a real-time state of charge (SOC) estimation method combining dynamic alternating internal resistance (DAIR) with artificial neural networks (ANN). The system simultaneously measures electrochemical impedance |Z| at various frequencies, discharge C-rate, and battery surface temperature during the discharge process, using these parameters for ANN training.

Abstract This article proposes a multi-tiered fault detection system for series-connected lithium-ion battery modules. Improper use of batteries can lead to electrolyte decomposition, resulting in the formation of lithium dendrites. These dendrites may pierce the separator, leading to the failure of the insulation layer between electrodes and causing micro short circuits. When a micro short circuit occurs, the electrolyte typically undergoes exothermic reactions, leading to thermal runaway and posing a safety risk to users. Relying solely on temperature-based judgment mechanisms within the battery management system often results in delayed intervention. To address this issue, the article More >

Abstract Accurately estimating the State of Health (SOH) and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial for the continuous and stable operation of battery management systems. However, due to the complex internal chemical systems of LIBs and the nonlinear degradation of their performance, direct measurement of SOH and RUL is challenging. To address these issues, the Twin Support Vector Machine (TWSVM) method is proposed to predict SOH and RUL. Initially, the constant current charging time of the lithium battery is extracted as a health indicator (HI), decomposed using Variational Modal Decomposition (VMD), and… More >

Abstract Precisely estimating the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries is essential for battery management systems (BMS), as it plays a key role in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of battery systems. However, current SOH estimation methods often overlook the valuable temperature information that can effectively characterize battery aging during capacity degradation. Additionally, the Elman neural network, which is commonly employed for SOH estimation, exhibits several drawbacks, including slow training speed, a tendency to become trapped in local minima, and the initialization of weights and thresholds using pseudo-random numbers, leading to unstable model performance.… More >

Abstract Drying and calendering processes are crucial in electrode manufacturing, as they significantly affect the mechanical and electrochemical performances of lithium-ion batteries. In this study, we established a three-dimensional (3D) representative volume element (RVE) of electrodes composed of active material particles, carbon binder domain particles, solvent, and different particle contact types. We continuously simulated the 3D macroscopic and microscopic structural evolutions of the RVE during drying and calendering using the discrete element method (DEM). Based on the evolution of the particle coordination numbers and contact networks during drying, we propose a three-stage-drying scheme, consistent with the More >

Abstract Solving intrinsic structural problems such as low conductivity is the main challenge to promote the commercial application of Li₂TiSiO₅. In this study, Li₂TiSiO₅ is synthesized by the sol-gel method, and the surface modification of Li₂TiSiO₅ is carried out at different temperatures using low-temperature plasma to enhance its lithium storage performance. The morphological structure and electrochemical tests demonstrate that plasma treatment can improve the degree of agglomeration. The peak position of the plasma-treated Li₂TiSiO₅ is shifted to a lower angle, and the shift angle increases with increasing sputtering power. Li₂TiSiO₅ after 300 W bombardment shows excellent capacity (144.7 mA·hg⁻¹ More >

Abstract Mechanical failure due to lithium-ion diffusion is one of the main obstacles to fulfill the potential of the electrode materials. Various fracture patterns in different electrode structures are observed in practice, which may have a profound impact on the performance and the service life of electrodes during operation. However, the mechanisms are largely unclear and still lack systematic understanding. Here we propose a coupled chemo-mechanical model based on peridynamics [1] and use it to study the dynamic fracturepattern formation in electrode materials and solid electrolytes during lithiation/delithiation cycles. We found in hollow core-shell nanowires that More >

Abstract Abuse of Lithium-ion batteries, both physical and electrochemical, can lead to significantly reduced operational capabilities. In some instances, abuse can cause catastrophic failure, including thermal runaway, combustion, and explosion. Many different test standards that include abuse conditions have been developed, but these generally consider only one condition at a time and only provide go/no-go criteria. In this work, different types of cell abuse are implemented concurrently to determine the extent to which simultaneous abuse conditions aggravate cell degradation and failure. Vibrational loading is chosen to be the consistent type of physical abuse, and the first… More >
