Development of an Innovative Procedure for Lithium Plating Limitation and Characterization of 18650 Cycle Aged Cells for DCFC Automotive Applications

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Since lithium-ion batteries seem to be the most eligible technology to store energy for e-mobility applications, it is fundamental to focus attention on kilometric ranges and charging times. The optimization of the charging step can provide the appropriate tradeoff between time saving and preserving cell performance over the life cycle. The implementation of new multistage constant current profiles and related performances after 1000 cycles are presented and compared with respect to a reference profile. A physicochemical (SEM, XRD, particle size analysis, etc.) and electrochemical (incremental capacity analysis, internal resistance measurements) characterization of the aged cells is shown and their possible implementation on board is discussed.
