摘要:

锂离子电池在实际工作中会因为电池组的不一致性或充电系统故障而出现微过充现象,长期循环会引发安全隐患。为探究微过充循环对锂离子电池老化特性及其失效机理的影响,将电池分别过充至不同截止电压,应用电化学阻抗谱、弛豫时间分布和容量增量分析等技术对其进行老化分析,并结合拆解后电极的扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量色散X射线谱(EDS)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)表征加以验证。实验结果表明,与正常循环相比,微过充循环会显著加速电池老化,导致电池比容量衰减速度加快;随着循环次数的增加,电池内部的可用锂离子和活性材料不断消耗,电池各类阻抗明显增加,其中4.5 V微过充循环电池的电荷转移电阻较初始状态增加了196.15%;微过充循环还会加剧电池极化现象,降低材料的循环稳定性;微过充循环后,电池的活性材料逐渐从集流体上脱落,正极材料的活性颗粒破裂,负极材料表面固体电解质界面(SEI)膜增厚,F、P元素含量显著增加。

Abstract:

In real-world applications, lithium-ion batteries can occasionally undergo slight overcharging due to inconsistency within the battery pack or malfunctions in the charging system. Prolonged exposure to such overcharge conditions can pose significant safety hazards. To investigate the effects of slight-overcharge cycling on the aging characteristics and failure mechanisms of lithium-ion batteries, experiments were conducted with batteries subjected to different cut-off voltages during overcharging. The aging analysis was analyzed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), distribution of relaxation time (DRT), and incremental capacity analysis (ICA). These techniques were further corroborated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on disassembled electrodes. The experimental results show that slight-overcharge cycling significantly accelerates battery aging compared to normal cycling, leading to a more rapid decline in specific capacity. Additionally, as the number of cycles increases, the depletion of lithium ions and active materials within the battery is expedited, leading to a noticeable increase in various types of battery impedance. Notably, the charge transfer resistance of batteries cycled at 4.5 V slight-overcharge increased by 196.15% from their initial state. This overcharging condition also exacerbates battery polarization and deteriorates the cycling stability of the materials. Post-cycling analysis revealed that slight-overcharge cycling causes active materials to detach from the current collectors, with significant fracturing observed in in the cathode's active particles and thickening of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the anode. Additionally, there was a notable increase in the contents of F and P elements.
