Effect of low-temperature storing on the performance of Li-ion battery
Understanding the effects of prolonged low-temperature storing on battery cycle performance and aging mechanisms is important for the operation and management of Li-ion battery in low-temperature environments.The batteries are set aside at-40 ℃ and 25 ℃ and are subjected to charge-discharge at 1.00 C rate in 2.30-3.65 V,the above operation is repeated 15 times.The aging behavior of Li-ion battery is analyzed by parameters such as state of health(SOH),electrochemical impedance,differential voltage and incremental capacity curves.Low-temperature storing has a certain influence on SOH of the battery,compared with the control group,the average capacity retention is decreased by 2.04 percentage points,the initial Coulombic efficiency is 97.4%.The Ohmic impedance and charge transfer impedance of the battery increase after low-temperature storing.By analyzing the differential voltage and incremental capacity curves,it is found that the loss of active material and active Li+inside the battery are the main causes of capacity degradation.
