Abstract:

A 1.6 Ah 18650 lithium-ion nominal capacity battery with a prelithiation process was developed to determine the capacity fading factors of lithium-ion batteries after high-temperature storage. Comparative analysis of the capacity loss, capacity recovery, dQ/dV, EIS, SEM, XRD, EDS, ICP, and thermal analysis of the battery storage under RT and 70 ℃ after five months at 100% SOC, respectively. The results demonstrate that the battery's discharge capacity at 70 ℃ is only 79.14% of its capacity at 25 ℃, and the reversible capacity loss accounts for 52.8%. The irreversible capacity loss is primarily due to the severe imbalance between the cathode and anode. The nonprelithium battery is subjected to anode fading, whereas the prelithium battery undergoes cathode fading due to the excessive lithium in the anode. Furthermore, the internal resistance of the battery storage under 70 ℃ is greater than that under 25 ℃, particularly when the anode quantity increases. There is significantly more "dead lithium" on the surface of the anode for the battery storage under 70 ℃ and more oxygen content was observed, meaning more side reactions on the surface. Moreover, high-temperature storage did not affect the structure of the electrode materials.
