X Abstract

Some of the aging mechanisms occurring in Li ion batteries, either on rest or on cycling, are described from long-term storage or cycling data. Generally, the most critical part of the cell is the negative electrode/electrolyte interface. Stability of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI), more generally of the passivating layer, must be insured by proper material choice and additives. Excessive growth induces with time a capacity loss corresponding to the lithium corrosion, and a reduction of power capability of the electrode, from the active surface area degradation. In a worst case, reduction of charge rate capability may lead to local lithium plating during cycling, strongly aggravating the capacity fading. When the SEI is correctly built, with low electronic conductivity, the negative electrode stability can be very stable, as described by long-term aging (more than 4 years) at higher temperature than ambient. Vinylen carbonate is confirmed as outstanding additive. At elevated temperature, high SOC induces side reactions at the positive interface, involving electrolyte components oxidation. The results are an increase of cell impedance, and possible slow CO2 evolution. Presence of lithium carbonate greatly enhanced the gas formation. The observed impedance increase indicates a reduction of the active surface area, in agreement with solid deposit. When properly designed with an appropriate choice of active materials and electrolyte, the Li ion system can provide a very long service.
