Abstract
- Mechanical phenomena in lithium-ion batteries are one of the main sources of damage, as well as an indicator of battery health and charge. Then, a deep study of these phenomena may improve battery life, management and safety. Mechanical phenomena are caused by the insertion of lithium ions in the microstructure of the electrodes and can be divided into two main categories: stress and degradation of the electrode microstructure, and battery volume change. The stress and fracture behaviour of the electrode microstructure due to lithium intercalation are studied with an electrochemical-mechanical model. Stress intensity factor is computed to assess how current rate and the geometry of the electrode microstructure affect fracture and may reduce the battery life. In addition to stress in the microstructure, lithium insertion causes the swelling of the entire battery. Then, the thickness change of batteries with different chemistries is measured. These measurements carry important information on the battery states and represent an alternative to voltage to extrapolate charge and health states.
