“…Thus, a larger potential drop will occur at the graphite-electrolyte interface, which generally favors earlier lithium deposition. These two processes, together with other interfacial heating sources, such as the irreversible Joule heating or the reversible Peltier effect, can introduce local temperature inhomogeneities, , thus adding another level of complexity to the parametrization and simulation. The combination of the plating model and thermal simulations is an interesting research topic in itself.…”

The deposition of a metallic lithium phase on the surface of graphite anodes in lithium ion batteries is a major degradation process and causes inherent safety risks. Despite its importance for battery applications the detection of this so-called lithium plating process during battery charge is very challenging. Therefore, a mechanistic understanding of the Li plating mechanism and the identification of characteristic features in the charge curve of the battery are extremely important. We present an electrochemical model, which enables the description of the deposition and dissolution of a metallic lithium phase in three-dimensional microstructure resolved simulations of lithium ion batteries. The features of this model are demonstrated by simulating the overcharge of a graphite electrode in a half-cell configuration. Simulation results show the typical features of the “stripping-plateau”, which is often observed during discharge after Li plating occurrs. Moreover, a similar feature is observed at the onset of Li plating, which can serve as an indicator for lithium plating in lithium ion batteries during charging, for example, of electric vehicles. Finally, we investigate the impact of an inhomogeneous solid-electrolyte-interphase on the distribution of plated lithium, which highlights the effect of local structural heterogeneities on degradation phenomena.

“…Q n th at 0 °C always remains at 0.5C > 0.2C > 0.1C during cycles. This is because the higher the C rates, the easier the battery polarization causes the anode terminal to drop to 0 V vs Li/Li + , and the easier Li plating occurs. − As the cycle number increases, Q n th at all C rates decreases gradually due to the loss of Li inventory capacity and the harsher battery polarization. Therefore, the battery stops charging earlier, and capacity is hampered .…”

Safety hazards arising from lithium (Li) plating during the operation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are a constant concern. Herein, this work explores the coaction of low temperatures and current rates (C rates) on Li plating in LIBs by electrochemical tests, material characterization, and numerical analysis. With a decrease in temperature and an increase in C rate, the battery charging process shifts from normal intercalation to Li plating and even ultimately fails at −20 °C and 0.5C. The morphology observations reveal the detailed growth process of individual plated Li through sand-like Li, whisker Li, dendritic Li, mossy Li, and finally bulk Li, as well as aggregated Li from sparse to dense. Through quantitative analysis, the dynamic pattern under long-term cycles is revealed. The low temperature and high C rate will lead to an increase in Li plating capacity and irreversibility, which are further deteriorated with the cycles. In addition, a critical condition of high Li plating and high reversibility at −10 °C and 0.2C is found, and further studies are needed to reveal the competition between kinetics and thermodynamics in the Li plating process. This work provides detailed information on the range and growth process of Li plating and quantifies Li plating, which can be used for practical Li plating prediction and regulation.

“…Furthermore, during charging the rise in temperature (∆T) is small for 1S3P-3. The dependence of LP on temperature [19,20] favored more LP, and this resulted in the extended stripping time in Table 2. In the case of 1S3P-2, though the cells were initially at lower temperature, during charging the ∆T increased.…”

Study on the Extensibility of Voltage-Plateau-Based Lithium Plating Detection for Electric Vehicles

Lithium plating is an undesirable side reaction in lithium-ion cells during fast charging at lower temperatures. The voltage plateau of the open-circuit voltage (OCV) of cells after charging is widely used to infer the onset of lithium plating. The differential analysis of post-charge OCV has been shown to yield greater insights into the Li stripping characteristics. Though this method is continuously evaluated for single cells in open circuit, a battery module can have a series and parallel connection of cells. The effectiveness and scalability of the voltage-plateau-based technique for battery modules is presented here. The study focuses on individual cells in open circuit, cells in parallel connection, and cells in a series-parallel connection. The results validate the scalability of the technique, yet the reliability and sensitivity were observed to be inferior to the single cell results published previously.
