Ageing mechanisms in lithium-ion batteries

TL;DR: In this article, a machine learning method was used to predict battery lifetime before the onset of capacity degradation with high accuracy. But, the prediction often cannot be made unless a battery has already degraded significantly.

TL;DR: A critical review of the available literature on the major thermal issues for lithium-ion batteries is presented in this article, where specific attention is paid to the effects of temperature and thermal management on capacity/power fade, thermal runaway, and pack electrical imbalance.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current trends and provides guidelines towards achieving next-generation rechargeable Li and Li-ion batteries with higher energy densities, better safety characteristics, lower cost and longer cycle life by addressing batteries using high-voltage cathodes, metal fluoride electrodes, chalcogen electrodes, Li metal anodes, high-capacity anodes as well as useful electrolyte solutions.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance and safety of rechargeable batteries depend strongly on the materials used and future trends, such as alternative materials for achieving higher specific charges are discussed, and a review of the insertion materials suitable for negative and positive insertion electrodes is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was found that the shape of graphite particles plays a key role in their application as active mass in anodes for Li-ion batteries and that the surface films formed on lithiated graphite are similar to those formed on Li metal in the same solutions.

TL;DR: In this article, an overview on lithium alloys and lithium alloying metals for use as anodes in ambient temperature rechargeable lithium batteries is given, with a brief introduction about advantages and drawbacks of lithium alloy anodes and a chronological review of their development.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors improved the rechargeable capacity of 4 V LixMn2O4 spinel cathodes by modifying the composition of the spinel electrode, achieving a capacity in excess of 100 mAh/g in flooded-electrolyte lithium cells.
