Lithium plating is a main concern for cell durability, and its driving forces can be influenced by thermal and mechanical loads. The effects of mechanical deformation and different temperatures on lithium plating in a lithium-ion battery are investigated using 1D and 3D models.
Lithium plating is one of the main concerns for cell durability, as cyclable lithium and cell capacity are decreased during the process. Thermal and mechanical loads can influence cell behavior, including lithium plating driving forces, as suggested by the Arrhenius equation and the Bruggeman relation, respectively. Hence, a 1D and a 3D model are employed to study the thermal and mechanical effects on lithium plating in a lithium-ion battery with a high areal capacity (4 mAh/cm(2)). The 1D model assumes uniform mechanical and temperature profile, while the 3D model is capable of capturing the nonuniformity of stress and temperature in the cell. The effects of mechanical deformation and different temperatures on the process of lithium plating are investigated in this study. With the help of the 1D charging simulations, it is observed that lower temperatures increase the risk of lithium plating and the presence of mechanical deformations can accelerate its initiation. Furthermore, 3D charging simulations indicated that folds and boundaries of jellyrolls are more susceptible to lithium plating due to the higher stress concentration and lower temperature, respectively.
