Lithium Battery Industry Pain Points

Battery Manufacturers

Q1: The larger the battery capacity, the smaller the internal resistance. Traditional electrochemical workstations cannot perform effective testing and they are expensive if used with current amplifiers.

Q2: Diferent batteries can't be distinguished by OCV or 1000Hz AClR alone. How can the batteries be sorted more finely?

Q3: lf there is an abnormality in the battery, how can we quickly locate the production problem? is it a poor welding? Or a poor formation? Or is it a material failure?

Battery Use & Recycling Companies

Q1: How to judge the consistency of the battery before assembling the battery module? Relying solely on OCV or 1000Hz ACIR is no longer sufficient.

Q2: Are there diferences between the same type of batteries purchased from different manufacturers? Can they be mixed?

Q3: For recycled or disassembled batteries, what is the remaining SOH (State of Health), and how can they be utilized in echelon applications?

Innovative Solutions of IEST

  • Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a method that treats a battery cell as a "black box," applies voltage or current perturbations at varying frequencies, collects the corresponding response signals, and characterizes the impedance magnitudes of electrochemical processes with different time constants.

 

  • Introducing EIS testing before battery shipment or upon incoming material inspection, and comparing impedance variations between cells, enables:
    1) Screening cell consistency.
    2) Identifying abnormal cells.
    3) Assisting in analyzing cell failure mechanisms!

Using EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) for refined screening of batteries ensures charge-discharge consistency across all individual cells within a battery module.

SOH Rapid Estimation (Cascade Utilization).

Traditional battery grading and cascade utilization:

  • A batch of recycled batteries
  • Charge and discharge the batteries
  • Grouping and tiered utilization based on capacity

Three Major Disadvantages:

  • Long grading time
  • High power consumption
  • Many channels occupied

IEST’s Rapid Grading Solution:

  • A batch of recycled batteries
  • Perform ElS test on the batteries
  • According to the correlation model between ElS and capacity, conduct rapid capacity division

Major Advantages:

As the battery health (SOH) decreases, its EIS test results will also change accordingly.

SOH Estimation Accuracy<5% (Big Data Modeling Required)

Battery Cell Failure Analysis (Production Problem Troubleshooting).

Distribution of Relaxation Times (DRT) analysis is a mathematical method for interpreting EIS spectra. Unlike conventional equivalent circuit fitting, DRT analysis can avoid issues such as:

  1. The fitting model’s dependence on initial values;
  2. Distortion of the fitting results;
  3. The fact that while different models can be fitted, their mechanistic interpretations are inconsistent.
