Abstract:

The electrochemical and safety performance of lithium-ion batteries is closely related to the characteristics of their materials, electrodes, and cell levels. Revealing the multilevel failure mechanism of energy storage lithium-ion batteries can guide their design optimization and use control. Therefore, this study considers the widely used lithium-iron phosphate energy storage battery as an example to review common failure forms, failure mechanisms, and characterization analysis techniques from the perspectives of materials, electrodes, and cells. Multilevel failure in this article includes the structure, composition, and interface failure of anode and cathode materials; the failure of electrolytes and separators; the failure of lithium plating, porosity, exfoliation, and nonuniform polarization of electrodes; and the gas production and thermal runaway of cells. Finally, the future energy storage failure analysis technology is presented, including the application of advanced characterization technology and standardized failure analysis process to contribute to promoting the development of failure analysis technology for energy storage lithium-ion batteries.
