Abstract Lithium-ion cells normally operate during 0% and 100% state of charge (SOC), therefore thermal runaway can occur at any SOC. In this paper, the 74 Ah lithium-ion pouch cells with the Li(Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1)O2 cathode were thermally abused by lateral heating in a semi-open chamber. The differences of thermal runaway behavior were investigated under six SOCs. Characteristic parameters such as triggering time and triggering temperature for thermal runaway show a negative correlation with SOCs, while maximum surface temperature and maximum surface temperature rise rate show a strongly positive correlation. Besides, mass loss ratio increases exponentially with equivalent specific capacity statistically, which implies that the pouch cells with high specific energy density and high capacity may eject more violently. Furthermore, the impact on the surroundings caused by high-temperature ejections was studied, and maximum ambient temperature and maximum ambient pressure in the chamber reached a plateau at middle SOCs. Based on the thermal impact on the surroundings, a theoretical method is proposed to evaluate the deterioration of heat dissipation by venting, and simplified to quantitatively calculate the deterioration under above SOCs. The results can provide guidance for battery safety management strategies and structure design of the battery pack.

Operating temperature and thermal uniformity have great effect on the performance, cycle life and safety of lithium-ion power batteries. In order to investigate the surface temperature change and distribution of a large-capacity and rectangular LiFePO4/C power battery, this paper conducts experiments on charging and discharging a battery module and cell at different current rates and various ambient temperatures. Results of thermalcouple-measurement show that temperature rising rates at different temperatures during charge and discharge change in accordance with the variation tendency of the resistance at different state of charge (SOC) and oprating temperatures. Under elevated ambient temperatures, the temperature excurtion and maximum temperature difference of the module are all smaller. Under the same ambient temperature, battery temperature at the end moment of discharge increases and the temperature uniformity of the module deteriorate at higher discharging rate. Temperature excurtion over the same time period is in a relationship of a standard quadratic function with the discharge current. Results of the thermal infrared imaging tests show that the maximum surface temperature differences at different discharging currents of 20A, 40A, and 80A are all above 5°C under natral convection heat transfer. The temperature of the lower part is higher than that of the upper part, while that of the central area is the highest. In a comprehensive charging and discharging scheme, the tendency of maximum surface temperature difference changes in accordance with that of the average surface temperature.

Abstract The high-nickel cathode material of LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (LNCA) has a prospective application for lithium-ion batteries due to the high capacity and low cost. However, the side reaction between the electrolyte and the electrode seriously affects the cycling stability of lithium-ion batteries. In this work, Ni2+ preoxidation and the optimization of calcination temperature were carried out to reduce the cation mixing of LNCA, and solid-phase Al-doping improved the uniformity of element distribution and the orderliness of the layered structure. In addition, the surface of LNCA was homogeneously modified with ZnO coating by a facile wet-chemical route. Compared to the pristine LNCA, the optimized ZnO-coated LNCA showed excellent electrochemical performance with the first discharge-specific capacity of 187.5 mA h g−1, and the capacity retention of 91.3% at 0.2C after 100 cycles. The experiment demonstrated that the improved electrochemical performance of ZnO-coated LNCA is assigned to the surface coating of ZnO which protects LNCA from being corroded by the electrolyte during cycling.

Abstract Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been considered to be one of the most promising energy storage devices in the next generation. However, the insulating properties of sulfur and the shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) seriously hinder the practical application of Li-S batteries. In this paper, a novel porous organic polymer (HUT3) was prepared based on the polycondensation between melamine and 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate. The micro morphology of HUT3 was improved by in-situ growth on different mass fractions of rGO (5%, 10%, 15%), and the obtained HUT3-rGO composites were employed as sulfur carriers in Li-S batteries with promoted the sulfur loading ratio and lithium ion mobility. Attributed to the synergistic effect of the chemisorption of polar groups and the physical constraints of HUT3 structure, HUT3-rGO/S electrodes exhibits excellent capacity and cyclability performance. For instance, HUT3-10rGO/S electrode exhibits a high initial specific capacity of 950 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and retains a high capacity of 707 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 C. This work emphasizes the importance of the rational design of the chemical structure and opens up a simple way for the development of cathode materials suitable for high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract Hollow mesoporous nanospheres MoO2/C are successfully constructed through metal chelating reaction between molybdenum acetylacetone and glycerol as well as the Kirkendall effect induced by diammonium hydrogen phosphate. MoO2 nanoparticles coupled by amorphous carbon are assembled to unique zigzag-like hollow mesoporous nanosphere with large specific surface area of 147.7 m2 g-1 and main pore size of 8.7 nm. The content of carbon is 9.1%. As anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the composite shows high specific capacity and excellent cycling performance. At 0.2 A g-1, average discharge capacity stabilizes at 1092 mAh g-1. At 1 A g-1 after 700 cycles, the discharge capacity still reaches 512 mAh g-1. Impressively, the composite preserves intact after 700 cycles. Even at 5 A g-1, the discharge capacity can reach 321 mAh g-1, exhibiting superior rate capability. Various kinetics analyses demonstrate that in electrochemical reaction, the proportion of the surface capacitive effect is higher, and the composite has relatively high diffusion coefficient of Li ions and fast faradic reaction kinetics. Excellent lithium storge performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of zigzag-like hollow mesoporous nanosphere and amorphous carbon, which improves reaction kinetics, structure stability and electronic conductivity of MoO2. The present work provides a new useful structure design strategy for advanced energy storage application of MoO2.

ABSTRACTLi2FeP2O7 is a newly developed polyanionic cathode material for high performance lithium ion batteries. It is considered very attractive due to its large specific capacity, good thermal and chemical stability, and environmental benignity. However, the application of Li2FeP2O7 is limited by its low ionic and electronic conductivities. To overcome the above problem, a solution-based technique was successfully developed to synthesize Li2FeP2O7 powders with very fine and uniform particle size (< 1 μm), achieving much faster kinetics. The obtained Li2FeP2O7 powders were tested in lithium ion batteries by measurements of cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling. We found that the modified Li2FeP2O7 cathode could maintain a relatively high capacity even at fast discharge rates.

A computationally simple formulation for the stationary surface temperature is developed to examine the thermal non-Newtonian EHD problem for line contacts under simple sliding conditions. Numerical results obtained are used to develop a formula for a thermal and non-Newtonian (Ree-Eyring) film thickness reduction factor. Results for the maximum surface temperature and traction coefficient are also presented. The thermal effects on film thickness and traction are found to be more pronounced for simple sliding than for combined sliding and rolling conditions.
