A critical review of electrode materials and electrolytes for Low- Temperature Lithium-Ion Batteries

Abstract

The critical analysis of literature of last 15 years, concerning features of low-temperature behavior of lithium-ion batteries is presented. Certain approaches to the problem; the role of different constituents of electrode polarization at low temperatures; features of functioning of negative and positive electrodes are reviewed. Low-temperature electrolytes are reviewed as well.

Challenges for large scale applications of rechargeable Zn–air batteries

“…5 However, lithiumion batteries are not safe enough 6 and degrade rapidly at low temperatures. 7 In contrast, metal-air batteries can make up for the disadvantages of lithium-ion batteries with higher theoretical specic energy in general and no pressure on the environment. 8,9 Among many types of metal-air batteries, Zn-air batteries (ZABs) are most likely to replace lithium-ion batteries in the Nuo Shang received his BS degree in Energy and Environmental Engineering from the Dalian University of Technology in 2021.…”

Developing a nitrile-based lithium-conducting electrolyte for low temperature operation

“…[4][5][6] Commercial state-of-the-art LIBs exhibit a notable decrease in capacity retention and rate capability below 0 C and are oen only recommended for use down to À20 C, limiting applications for certain low-temperature extreme environments (e.g., space). [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] At such low temperatures, the electrolyte is the greatest source of performance loss; thus, electrolyte engineering is essential to addressing the key challenges for low temperature operation. [8][9][10][11] Early studies identied electrolyte chemistry as one of the critical factors governing low temperature performance, a consensus that holds largely to the present day.…”

Analysis and Improvement Measures of Driving Range Attenuation of Electric Vehicles in Winter

“…In addition, charging at low temperatures can easily lead to lithium precipitation at the negative surface, which can cause permanent battery damage and may cause serious safety problems [3]. It is generally accepted that the reasons for the poor performance of lithium ion batteries at low ambient temperatures are: low electrolyte conductivity; increased resistance to solid electrolyte interface membranes (SEI); slow diffusion of lithium in SEI membranes and active material particles; and slow charge transfer dynamics [4][5][6]. The speed control steps are different at different discharge multiples and at different batteries' self-producing heat cases.…”
