  • An Electrochemical Impedance Spectrum-Based State of Health Differential Indicator with Reduced Sensitivity to Measurement Errors for Lithium–Ion Batteries
Title: An Electrochemical Impedance Spectrum-Based State of Health Differential Indicator with Reduced Sensitivity to Measurement Errors for Lithium–Ion Batteries
As the use of electrochemical batteries, especially lithium–ion (Li-Ion) batteries, increases due to emerging applications and expanding markets, the accurate and fast estimation of their state of health (SOH) is becoming increasingly important. The accuracy of the SOH estimation is highly dependent on the correlation strength between the used indicator and SOH and the accuracy of the SOH indicator measurement. This paper presents a new differential indicator which has a strong and consistent correlation with the SOH of Li-Ion batteries, based on a new Electrochemical Impedance Spectrum (EIS) Phase–Magnitude relationship. It is shown in this paper that the EIS Phase–Magnitude relationship exhibits a phase-based differential impedance magnitude SOH indicator between a first-phase peak point and a last-phase valley point. Because of the differential nature of this SOH indicator and because the two impedance values are measured at a phase peak point and a valley phase point regardless of the phase absolute values, the effect of impedance measurement shift/offset (error) on SOH estimation is reduced. This supports the future development of more accurate and faster online and offline SOH estimation algorithms and systems that have a higher immunity to impedance measurement shift/offset (error). Furthermore, in this work, the EIS was measured for a lithium–ion battery that was down to a ~15% SOH, which was not only used to support the conclusions of this paper, but also helped in filling a gap in the literature for EIS data under deep/high degradation levels.  more » « less

    This paper presents a state-of-health (SOH) estimation algorithm and hardware platform for ‎lithium-ion batteries. Based on features obtained from the battery’s electrochemical impedance ‎spectroscopy (EIS), an artificial neural network (ANN)-based SOH algorithm is developed. EIS measurements collected at different aging levels are utilized to train and test the SOH estimation algorithm. The minimum impedance magnitude and the impedance magnitude at zero phase show correlations with the battery SOH level and can be utilized to indicate the SOH value. The SOH estimation algorithm performance is evaluated, and the performance evaluation results indicate that the SOH estimation algorithm can be utilized to estimate the SOH.

    This paper presents data-driven impedance-based state of health (SOH) estimation for commercial lithium-ion batteries across an SOH range of ~96% to ~60%. Battery health indicators at the transition frequency of the battery impedance Nyquist plot are utilized to develop an SOH estimator based on an artificial neural network (ANN). In addition, two more ANN-based SOH estimators utilizing some impedance magnitude and phase values are developed. Spearman correlation analysis is utilized to identify the frequency points at which the impedance magnitude and phase values show strong correlations with SOH values and are thus utilized as SOH indicators. The performance evaluation of the developed SOH estimators shows that the maximum root mean square error (RMSE) is equal to 1.39%, the maximum mean absolute error (MAE) is equal to 1.25%, the maximum mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is equal to 1.55%, and the minimum coefficient of determination (R2) is equal to 0.983.

    Over the past years, lithium-ion solid-state batteries have demonstrated significant advancements regarding such properties as safety, long-term endurance, and energy density. Solid-state electrolytes based on lithium halides offer new opportunities due to their unique features such as a broad electrochemical stability window, high lithium-ion conductivity, and elasticity at close to melting point temperatures that could enhance lithium-ion transport at interfaces. A comparative study of lithium indium halide (Li3InCl6) electrolytes synthesized through a mechano-thermal method with varying optimization parameters revealed a significant effect of temperature and pressure on lithium-ion transport. An analysis of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) data within the temperature range of 25–100 °C revealed that the optimized Li3InCl6 electrolyte reveals high ionic conductivity, reaching 1.0 mS cm−1 at room temperature. Herein, we present the utilization of in situ/operando X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and in situ X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) to investigate the temperature-dependent behavior of the Li3InCl6 electrolyte. Confirmed by these methods, significant changes in the Li3InCl6 ionic conductivity at 70 °C were observed due to phase transformation. The observed behavior provides critical information for practical applications of the Li3InCl6 solid-state electrolyte in a broad temperature range, contributing to the enhancement of lithium-ion solid-state batteries through their improved morphology, chemical interactions, and structural integrity.

    Understanding the behavior of pressure increases in lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells is essential for prolonging the lifespan of Li-ion battery cells and minimizing the safety risks associated with cell aging. This work investigates the effects of C-rates and temperature on pressure behavior in commercial lithium cobalt oxide (LCO)/graphite pouch cells. The battery is volumetrically constrained, and the mechanical pressure response is measured using a force gauge as the battery is cycled. The effect of the C-rate (1C, 2C, and 3C) and ambient temperature (10 ◦C, 25 ◦C, and 40 ◦C) on the increase in battery pressure is investigated. By analyzing the change in the minimum, maximum, and pressure difference per cycle, we identify and discuss the effects of different factors (i.e., SEI layer damage, electrolyte decomposition, lithium plating) on the pressure behavior. Operating at high C-rates or low temperatures rapidly increases the residual pressure as the battery is cycled. The results suggest that lithium plating is predominantly responsible for battery expansion and pressure increase during the cycle aging of Li-ion cells rather than electrolyte decomposition. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements can support our conclusions. Postmortem analysis of the aged cells was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to confirm the occurrence of lithium plating and film growth on the anodes of the aged cells. This study demonstrates that pressure measurements can provide insights into the aging mechanisms of Li-ion batteries and can be used as a reliable predictor of battery degradation.
