Fast-charging in practice – a way to get it done!

The ability to fast-charge Lithium-Ion batteries is a key requirement for the success of electric vehicles. One main problem when fast-charging Lithium-Ion batteries is Lithium-plating. There, the Lithium-Ions are not intercalated into the anode but are deposited on its surface. This leads not only to safety issues, but also reduces

PCCM for Peak Thermal Load Shaving of LIB During 6C Fast Charge

Lithium-Ion Secondary Batteries (LIB) have a narrow operational window in terms of cell temperature. The optimum working temperature is between 15 and 45°C. Thus, modern battery systems for electric vehicles have complex active thermal management systems allowing for heating and cooling to operate the LIB in its desired temperature range.

Experimental study on detecting and quantifying lithium-deposition with differential voltage analysis and coulomb-counting

High currents during fast charging of lithium-ion cells at elevated states of charge (SOC) induce undesired lithium deposition (LD), which leads to rapid loss of cyclable lithium and therewith an accelerated capacity fade. Furthermore, dendritic LD may penetrate the separator and can cause safety-critical conditions. Much research effort has been

Electrochemical modeling, validation and parameter identification under high current discharge conditions for a commercial Li-ion battery.

Extreme scenarios of high discharge current must be understood for better battery management system design. Physics-based modeling can give a better insight into the battery response compared to equivalent circuit models but can be challenging due to the large number of parameters. In this work, an electrochemical pseudo-2D model is
