Effect of aging temperature on thermal stability of lithium-ion batteries: Part A-High-temperature aging

Tianfeng Gao et al.

Summary: Aging and thermal runaway are major challenges for widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries. Aging at different temperatures leads to differences in aging mechanisms and thermal runaway behavior of the batteries. This study investigates the changes in electrical performance and thermal stability of commercial lithium-ion batteries aged at temperatures of 25°C, 40°C, 60°C, and 80°C for 100 cycles, analyzing the morphology and composition of the electrodes and separators. The decomposition products of the solid electrolyte intermediate layer are found to play a crucial role in inducing changes in thermal runaway behavior.
