The study found that over-discharge of the battery leads to capacity loss, and the depth of discharge has a more serious impact on cell performance than the number of cycles, with continuous over-discharge cycling accumulating this impact; while the irreversible capacity loss of batteries is caused by the loss of lithium inventory, dissolution of copper current collector, and exfoliation of active material particles.
In this paper, short-term over-discharge cycling was performed on commercially available 21,700 lithium-ion cells to investigate its effects on cell performance; the degradation modes were also identified and analyzed in detail using both in-situ and ex-situ methods. Results show that observable capacity loss occurs when the cell is over-discharged to 112.5% depth of discharge. Moreover, the negative impact of the depth of discharge on cell performance (or cell aging) is more serious than the number of cycles, and continuous over-discharge cycling will accumulate such impact. The loss of Li inventory related to the decomposition and reformation of solid elec-trolyte interphase film is an important cause of the irreversible capacity loss/degradation of Li-ion cells during over-discharge cycling testing. The dissolution of copper current collector can greatly reduce the mechanical stability of the anode, and further, the deposition of Cu, the exfoliation and the cracking of active material particles can influence the transfer of ions and lead to the loss of Li inventory and the loss of active material within Li-ion cells. Additionally, when the depth of discharge exceeds 108.3%, deposition of Cu is observed on the ceramic-covered side of separators.
