Low-Temperature Behavior of Li-Ion Cells
Open accessAbstract
Studies on Li-ion cells with and without reference electrodes confirm that the limiting factor for low-temperature performance is the carbon anode. The cycling behavior of MCMB (2528)- cells were studied over the temperature range of −40°C to room temperature, and at all temperatures it is the polarization of the anode which limits performance. Even at modest (C/5) to low (C/10) rates of charge and discharge, deposition of metallic lithium at the anode for temperatures ⩽−20°C causes permanent capacity loss. This loss is not attributed to electrolyte conductivities, which are relatively high over this temperature range, but rather to continual growth of the solid electrolyte interphase resulting from solvent/electrolyte reduction at freshly deposited metallic lithium. The studies also reveal that at low temperatures, lithium cannot be completely removed or inserted into the coexistence range of dilute stage 1 and stage 4. This may be a simple electrokinetic phenomenon or, more likely, the limiting solid-state diffusion of lithium in carbon. © 2001 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
