Aging property for LiFePO4/graphite cell with different temperature and DODs

详细

In this paper, we fabricated 1.7 A h soft-packed cells using commercial-grade LiFePO₄ and manmade graphite as the active materials for the cathode and anode, respectively. It has been shown that the cycle performances of assembled soft-packed full-cell were still temperature-dependent. An accelerated mechanism of the operating temperature to reformation/repairing of SEI layer have been established, which greatly consumes active lithium during cycling, therefore causes fast capacity loss at elevated temperatures. At same time, cycle property for LiFePO₄/graphite cell with different depth of discharge (DOD) levels and ranges. It has been shown that DOD level has very little effect on capacity fade for cell lifecycle; but for DOD range, obvious influence was observed on capacity fade, which is due to the sensitivity of SOC during the storage of the cell.
