A Simplified Electrochemical and Thermal Aging Model of LiFePO4-Graphite Li-ion Batteries: Power and Capacity Fade Simulations
Open accessAbstract
In this paper, an isothermal physics-based aging model from the literature is modified and extended to simulate both capacity and power fade of a commercial LiFePO 4 -graphite Li-ion battery. Compared to the isothermal reference, the mechanism of porosity modification due to the Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) film growth at the negative electrode is integrated in the present electrochemical and thermal model to establish theoretical correlations between capacity and power fade of the system. The aging model includes different contributions of the cell impedance increase such as the SEI film resistance and the electrolyte mass transport resistance due to the mitigation of the negative electrode porosity. Experimental databases from literature and specific experiments coupling endurance tests and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy results, are used to calibrate and validate the correlated power and capacity loss simulations for both calendar and classic galvanostatic cycling operating conditions. The analysis of the experimental data points out that an additional possible aging mechanism such as cracking and fracture of the SEI layer could play an important role for cycling operating conditions and accelerate the electrochemical mechanisms. The impact of physical and design parameters on the power and capacity theoretical correlations are discussed. The limits of applicability of the present model are also discussed in this paper.

Most physics-based models focus only on the most dominant degradation mechanisms, such as SEI formation and growth or electronic contact loss through particle cracking.
“which is why most physics-based models focus only on the most dominant mechanisms, such as the formation and growth of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) [11,12] or electronic contact loss through particle cracking [13,14].”
From Degradation diagnostics for lithium ion cells (2017) · cites this paper as [12]
The paper’s introductory discussion says many physics-based aging models focus on SEI growth, and its Model Development section makes SEI growth the sole aging mechanism in its own simplified model. The Experimental Calibration and Validation section discusses particle cracking, but as a mechanism that can expose fresh surface and damage the SEI—not as electronic contact loss. The paper also says “many authors,” rather than establishing that most physics-based models focus only on these mechanisms. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
