Abstract: The Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery is widely used as power source for consumer electronic devices due to its high energy density, large specific capacity.Recently, application of the Li-ion battery has been extended to aerospace, in which the outer space's radiation environment has more stringent requirements for the battery performance.This type of battery also provides power for critical modern rescue, sampling equipment in nuclear environment, such as the robots deployed in the aftermath of Fukushima nuclear accident.As one of the most important components of these emergency response robots, the stability of the Li-ion battery under radiation is of crucial importance.The radiation effects on materials are generally categorized into four types: ionization, atomic displacement, impurity production, and energy release.To our knowledge, there has been no definitive study of such effects on Li-ion batteries and how ionizing radiation affects Li-ion batteries' structure, strength, deformation, and electrical properties to final failure.
