Abstract

We predicted the calendar aging and long-term lifetime of lithium-ion batteries using an electrochemical-based SEI growth model. Numerical simulation was carried out employing the four different long-term SEI growth models (i.e., solvent diffusion limited model, electron migration limited model, Li-interstitial diffusion limited model, reaction limited model), and we calculated the capacity fade and loss of lithium inventory during calendar aging. The result showed that the electron migration limited model and Li-interstitial diffusion limited model showed lower capacity fade, while the solvent diffusion limited model and reaction limited model reached 80% of capacity fade within 10 years. During calendar aging, the lower storage temperature showed less capacity fade due to the hindrance of SEI growth rate. During cycling, the higher C-rate showed a shorter life cycle; however, the differences were not significant.

전기화학 기반의 SEI 성장 모델을 이용하여 리튬이온 배터리의 캘린더 노화 및 장기 수명을 예측하였다. 네 가지 유형의 장기 SEI 성장 모델(용매 확산 제한 모델, 전자 이동 제한 모델, 리튬-간극 확산 제한 모델, 반응 제한 모델)을 적용하여 수치해석이 이루어졌고, 캘린더 에이징 동안의 용량 감소와 리튬 재고 손실을 계산하였다. 수치해석 결과, 전자 이동 제한 모델과 리튬-간극 확산 제한 모델이 낮은 용량 감소를 보였으며, 용매 확산 제한 모델과 반응 제한 모델은 10년이내에 80%의 용량 감소를 보였다. 캘린더 노화 중 저온 보관 시 SEI의 성장을 저하시켜 용량 감소가 적었다. 사이클링 중 C-rate가 증가할수록 SEI 두께 증가로 수명 하락이 크게 나타났으나 그 차이는 크지 않았다.
