Title: Concentration dependent properties and plastic deformation facilitate instability of the solid-electrolyte interphase in Li-ion batteries

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) often suffer from capacity fading and poor cyclic performance due to mechanical degradation of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). Here we perform numerical simulations and theoretical analysis to elucidate the role of plasticity in wrinkling and ratcheting behaviors of an SEI/electrode system. A coupled diffusion and finite deformation framework is formulated and numerically implemented as a user-element subroutine (UEL) to describe transient lithium diffusion and accompanying elastic–viscoplastic deformation of the electrode. It is found that concentration dependent properties and plastic deformation facilitate wrinkling in such a system. A wrinkled morphology may further lead to ratcheting and related failure under cycling. A phase diagram of four types of cyclic behaviorsis identified in terms of the charging rate and time. Our analysis suggests several potential strategies to avoid wrinkling and ratcheting instabilities, such as charging/discharging the electrode at a sufficiently slow rate, and/or introducing a thick artificial SEI with a pre-tension.
