Applying external pressure to a pouch cell results in improved performance, implicating systems-level design of batteries. Here, different formats and amounts of external pressure to Li-Li_xNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ (Li-NMC811) pouch cells were studied under lean electrolyte conditions. Due to the more uniform lithium plating/stripping, a constant gap fixture that retains the distance of the frame during cycling performed greater than a constant pressure fixture that retains applied pressure to the cell. In addition, the use of flexible foam in a constant gap fixture revealed enhanced cycle life at 10 psi; however, at 30 psi, the use of a rigid plate extended cycle life to over 250 cycles, while the foam severely shortened cycle life. This discrepancy with pressure was proven to be driven by stress distribution on cell components. The failure mechanisms and the effects of pressure fixture design on cell components were unveiled, shedding light on improving high-energy battery performance through at-scale fixture design.
