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.

SOH Estimation Algorithm and Hardware Platform for Lithium-ion Batteries
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.more » « less

Lanthanum strontium cobalt iron oxide (LSCF) is commonly used as a cathode in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), because it is a mixed ionic-electronic conductor with reasonable oxygen ion conductivity and high electronic conductivity. Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is used as an electrolyte in SOFCs with good oxygen ion conductivity. AC techniques are used to test the performance of SOFCs. But electrode processes at the cathode and the anode cannot be studied separately using 2-probe electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). To overcome this problem, 2-probe EIS with three probes and DC tests were conducted. An LSCF/8YSZ/LSCF symmetrical bar-shaped cell was made, and platinum strip electrodes were applied as probes for EIS and DC measurements. Impedance spectra across the cathode and the platinum strip electrode and across the anode and the platinum strip electrode were measured separately. The sum was evaluated to see if it matches the EIS spectra across the cathode and the anode. The polarity was switched to study how it affects the electrode processes. The polarization resistances of the electrodes were also measured by a DC method separately. EIS and DC measurements are in good agreement. Results indicate the two electrodes need not be identical.more » « less

Khalil, Khalil Abdelrazek (Ed.)Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a non-invasive and label-free technology that can characterize and discriminate cells based on their dielectric properties at a wide range of frequency. This characterization method has not been utilized for small extracellular vesicles (exosomes) with heterogenous and nano-scale size distribution. Here, we developed a novel label-free microelectronic impedance spectroscopy for non-invasive and rapid characterization of exosomes based on their unique dielectric properties. The device is comprised of an insulator-based dielectrophoretic (iDEP) module for exosomes isolation followed by an impedance spectroscopy utilizing the embedded micro-electrodes. This device is capable of distinguishing between exosomes harvested from different cellular origins as the result of their unique membrane and cytosolic compositions at a wide range of frequency. Therefore, it has the potential to be further evolved as a rapid tool for characterization of pathogenic exosomes in clinical settings.more » « less

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained considerable attention as vital circulating biomarkers since their structure and composition resemble the originating cells. The investigation of EVs’ biochemical and biophysical properties is of great importance to map them to their parental cells and to better understand their functionalities. In this study, a novel frequency-dependent impedance measurement system has been developed to characterize EVs based on their unique dielectric properties. The system is composed of an insulator-based dielectrophoretic (iDEP) device to entrap and immobilize a cluster of vesicles followed by utilizing electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to measure their impedance at a wide frequency spectrum, aiming to analyze both their membrane and cytosolic charge-dependent contents. The EIS was initially utilized to detect nano-size vesicles with different biochemical compositions, including liposomes synthesized with different lipid compositions, as well as EVs and lipoproteins with similar biophysical properties but dissimilar biochemical properties. Moreover, EVs derived from the same parental cells but treated with different culture conditions were characterized to investigate the correlation of impedance changes with biochemical properties and functionality in terms of pro-inflammatory responses. The system also showed the ability to discriminate between EVs derived from different cellular origins as well as among size-sorted EVs harbored from the same cellular origin. This proof-of-concept approach is the first step towards utilizing EIS as a label-free, non-invasive, and rapid sensor for detection and characterization of pathogenic EVs and other nanovesicles in the future.more » « less
