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.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available September 21, 2025

We present seismic two-way traveltime depth relationships for all sites drilled by the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 398, Hellenic Arc Volcanic Field, using high-resolution multichannel seismic and core data. First, we filter and interpolate P-wave velocity and density data taken from (1) whole-round cores and (2) discrete measurements on half-round cores. We establish the reliability of shipboard density measurements by comparing them with in situ logging data. Using these validated measurements, we estimate acoustic impedance and synthetic seismograms. By correlating synthetic seismograms with those extracted from multichannel seismic profiles at each site, we establish time-depth relationships. We assess the quality of these relationships by examining the alignment of major lithologic boundaries with prominent unconformities or correlated conformities in the reflection seismic data. The results of this report facilitate the mapping of core data onto the multichannel seismic profiles at each site, allowing for spatial tracing of core data across the Christiana-Santorini-Kolumbo volcanic field.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available June 13, 2026
