High-power, 18,650 lithium-ion cells have been designed and fabricated in order to understand the factors Limiting the calendar life of the Lithium-ion system. Each cell consisted of a LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 positive electrode, a blend of MCMB-6 and SFG-6 carbon negative electrode, and a LiPF6 in EC:DEC (1:1) electrolyte. These cells, which initially meet the power requirement set by the partnership for a new generation of vehicles (PNGV), were subjected to accelerated calendar life and cycle life testing. After testing at elevated temperatures, the cells experienced a significant impedance rise and loss of power. The fade rate of power in these cells was dependent of the state of charge and the temperature of testing. Micro-reference electrode and ac-impedance studies on symmetrical cells have confirmed that the interfacial resistance at the positive electrode was the main reason behind the impedance rise in the high power cell.
