When designing lithium-ion batteries, the choice of battery casing material is critical. It must not only protect the battery's internal electrochemical components and structure but also possess properties like heat resistance, corrosion resistance, vibration resistance, and crush resistance. Among numerous materials, aluminum shells have emerged as the preferred choice due to their unique advanta...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the powerhouse of modern electronics and electric vehicles (EVs), and their performance hinges on the cathode materials. Among these, ternary cathode materials such as NCM (Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese oxides) and NCA (Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum oxides) dominate due to their balanced energy density and stability. However, varying the ratios of nickel (Ni...

1. Process Principles Stacking Process: Anode and cathode sheets are cut to specified dimensions, then laminated with separators to form unit cells. These unit cells are stacked in parallel to create battery modules. Winding Process: Pre-cut anode sheets, separators, and cathode sheets are wound in a defined sequence around a fixed mandrel, compressed into cylindrical, elliptical, or prismatic sha...

The voltage of a lithium battery is closely related to the electrode potentials of its cathode and anode materials. Variations in voltage among lithium batteries using different materials primarily stem from the following factors: Impact of Electrode Materials’ Chemical Properties Lithium batteries operate through the movement of lithium ions between the cathode and anode during charging and disch...

A lithium-ion battery is primarily composed of a cathode, anode, electrolyte, and separator. During charging, lithium ions de-intercalate from the cathode material, migrate through the electrolyte, and intercalate into the anode material. During discharging, lithium ions move in the reverse direction, de-intercalating from the anode and returning to the cathode through the electrolyte. This repeat...

Lithium plating refers to the detrimental phenomenon where lithium ions fail to intercalate into the graphite anode during charging processes, instead undergoing electrochemical reduction to form metallic lithium deposits. This results in the formation of characteristic silver-gray lithium metal layers or dendritic lithium crystals on the anode surface. Conventionally, battery disassembly has been...

Self-discharge in lithium-ion batteries refers to the phenomenon where the battery's charge/voltage naturally decreases when disconnected from an external circuit (i.e., in an open-circuit state). This is an inherent characteristic of all batteries, though the degree varies. Lithium-ion batteries exhibit a relatively low self-discharge rate but are still affected. The primary causes can be categor...
