Abstract

Fast charging of Li-ion batteries would ease consumer concerns regarding refueling time of electric vehicles. In this series of articles, we are systematically examining the effects of high currents flowing through the cell. Here we consider open-circuit relaxation dynamics for cell voltage and individual electrode potentials after abrupt termination of steady-state charging currents (1-6C) or short current pulses (< 30 s) of either polarity (to 16C). We demonstrate that dispersive kinetics observed after these current perturbations become faster for higher currents applied before the rest period. Our observations indicate that the voltage relaxation behaviors (i) depend on the current during charge, and less so on the state of charge, (ii) display universal stretched-exponential kinetics, (iii) can be induced by a short current pulse, (iv) require a minimum amount of charge transfer during the pulse, and (v) originate mainly from the oxide cathode. Trap controlled Li ⁺ ion transport through a partially disordered oxygen-depleted subsurface layer in the cathode is suggested as a possible origin for the relaxation behavior. The slow multidecadal responses to high currents can cause the nonlinearities observed during rapid charging of the electrochemical cells, reported in Part 2 of this series.

Fast Charging of Li-Ion Cells: Part I. Using Li/Cu Reference Electrodes to Probe Individual Electrode Potentials

Journal Article Rodrigues, Marco-Tulio F. ; Kalaga, Kaushik ; Trask, Stephen E. ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Increasing the charge rate of Li-ion cells over 1–2C (full charge in 30–60 min) would be highly desirable, but high currents flowing through the active materials push these cells to their endurance limits. In this article, we aim to understand how such high-current regimes affect electrochemical properties of the cells. Formation of Li metal deposits is a recognized hazard of high-rate charging, as Li plating can overtake lithium intercalation in the negative electrode. Here we demonstrate how microprobe Li/Cu reference electrodes can be used to characterize the graphite anode and layered oxide (NCM523) cathode during constant-current (≤ 6C) voltage-limited (4.39more »« less

Self similarities in desalination dynamics and performance using capacitive deionization

Journal Article Ramachandran, Ashwin ; Hemmatifar, Ali ; Hawks, Steven A. ; ... - Water Research

Charge transfer and mass transport are two underlying mechanisms which are coupled in desalination dynamics using capacitive deionization (CDI). We developed simple reduced-order models based on a mixed reactor volume principle which capture the coupled dynamics of CDI operation using closed-form semi-analytical and analytical solutions. We use the models to identify and explore self-similarities in the dynamics among flow rate, current, and voltage for CDI cell operation including both charging and discharging cycles. The similarity approach identifies the specific combination of cell (e.g. capacitance, resistance) and operational parameters (e.g. flow rate, current) which determine a unique effluent dynamic response.

Enabling fast charging of high energy density Li-ion cells with high lithium ion transport electrolytes

Journal Article Du, Zhijia ; Wood, David L. ; Belharouak, Ilias - Electrochemistry Communications

Enabling fast charging capability of high energy density Li-ion cells could dramatically increase the widespread adoption of battery electric vehicles. However, fast charging is limited by Li ion depletion in the electrolyte and increasing Li ion transport from cathode to anode is essential. By evaluating different Li salts in the electrolyte, we find lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LFSI) has both higher conductivity and higher Li ion transference number compared to the traditional LiPF ₆ salt. In a 12-minute charge, the electrolyte with LiPF ₆ salt reaches the cut-off voltage rapidly while the one with LiFSI exhibits a longer constant current charge withmore »« less

Ions Beams and Ferroelectric Plasma Sources

Thesis/Dissertation Stepanov, Anton

Near-perfect space-charge neutralization is required for the transverse compression of high perveance ion beams for ion-beam-driven warm dense matter experiments, such as the Neutralized Drift Compression eXperiment (NDCX). Neutralization can be accomplished by introducing a plasma in the beam path, which provides free electrons that compensate the positive space charge of the ion beam. In this thesis, charge neutralization of a 40~keV, perveance-dominated Armore »« less
