Abstract A review of the prevalent degradation mechanisms in Lithium ion batteries is presented. Degradation and eventual failure in lithium-ion batteries can occur for a variety of dfferent reasons. Degradation in storage occurs primarily due to the self-discharge mechanisms, and is accelerated during storage at elevated temperatures. The degradation and failure during use conditions is generally accelerated due to the transient power requirements, the high frequency of charge/discharge cycles and differences between the state-of-charge and the depth of discharge influence the degradation and failure process. A step-by-step methodology for conducting a failure analysis of Lithion batteries is presented. The failure analysis methodology is illustrated using a decision-tree approach, which enables the user to evaluate and select the most appropriate techniques based on the observed battery characteristics. The techniques start with non-destructive and non-intrusive steps and shift to those that are more destructive and analytical in nature as information about the battery state is gained through a set of measurements and experimental techniques.

ABSTRACTThe structural and chemical stabilities of layered Li1-xCoO2-δ, Li1-xNi0.85Co0.15O2-δ and Li1-xNi0.5Mn0.5O2-δ (0 ≤ (1-x) ≤ 1) cathodes have been investigated by chemically extracting lithium from the corresponding LiMO2 with the oxidizer NO2BF4 in acetonitrile medium. While Li1-xCoO2-δ and Li1-xNi0.85Co0.15O2-δ begin to form a P3-type and a new O3-type (designated as O3') phases, respectively, for (1-x) < 0.5 and (1-x) < 0.3, Li1-xNi0.5Mn0.5O2-δ maintains the initial O3-type structure without forming any second phase. Chemical analysis with a redox titration indicates that the Li1-xCoO2-δ, Li1-xNi0.85Co0.15O2-δ, and Li1-xNi0.5Mn0.5O2-δ systems begin to lose oxygen from the lattice, respectively, for (1-x) < 0.5, < 0.3 and < 0.4, which is accompanied by an onset of a decrease in the c parameter. The oxygen loss signals chemical instability and the trend in instability correlates with the charging voltage profiles of the cathodes.

Lithium ion batteries have become a widely known commodity for satisfying the world’s mobile energy storage needs. But these needs are becoming increasingly important, especially in the transportation industry, as concern for rising oil prices and environmental impact from fossil fuels are pushing for deployment of more electric vehicles (EV) or plug in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) and renewable energy sources. The objective of this research is to obtain a fundamental understanding of degradation mechanisms and rate-capacity loss in lithium-ion batteries through fracture mechanics and fatigue analysis approaches. In this study we follow empirical observations that mechanical stresses accumulate on electrode materials during the cycling process. Crack induced fracturing will then follow in the material which electrical contact surface area is degraded and over capacitance of the battery reduces. A fatigue analysis simulation is applied using ANSYS finite element software coupled with analytical models to alleviate these parameters that play the most pivotal roles in affecting the rate-capacity and cycle life of the lithium-ion battery. Our results have potential to provide new models and simulation tools for clarifying the interplay of structure mechanics and electrochemistry while offering an increased understanding of fatigue degradation mechanisms in rechargeable battery materials. These models can aid manufacturers in the optimization of battery materials to ensure longer electrochemical cycling life with high-rate capacity for improved consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and many other military or space applications.
