Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, due to their wide temperature range, high energy density, low self-discharge rate, and long cycle life, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in a variety of industries, such as transportation, electronics, portable mobile devices, and aerospace. However, the capacity degradation of lithium-ion batteries can lead to increased internal resistance, accelerated aging, and even a safety risk during long-term use and charge/discharge processing. Moreover, defects in the design stage, harsh service environment, and misuse can also cause serious degradation of the service performance of lithium-ion batteries. People are concerned about the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries, even though they bring convenience to mobile phones, electric bicycles, electric vehicles, and battery charging stations. Therefore, the service performance assessment of lithium-ion batteries has become a hot topic in theoretical research and engineering applications.

In this Special Issue, we welcome papers or reviews, including simulation studies and experimental studies, on the service performance of battery materials, battery cells, and battery packs, with a focus on safety, reliability, and uncertainty assessment. We specifically aim to address the reliability analysis and risk assessment of lithium-ion batteries in complex or real service environments, such as low temperature and vibration. Lithium-ion battery applications include electronic products, electric vehicles, charging stacks, public charging stations, and any industrial equipment that uses lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, we also welcome articles on optimized design for lithium-ion battery service safety.

Inconsistency is a key factor triggering safety problems in battery packs. The inconsistency evaluation of retired batteries is of great significance to ensure the safe and stable operation of batteries during subsequent gradual use. This paper summaries the commonly used diagnostic methods for battery inconsistency assessment. The local outlier factor (LOF) algorithm and the improved Shannon entropy (ImEn) algorithm are selected for validation based on the individual voltage data from real-world vehicles. Then, a comprehensive inconsistency evaluation strategy for retired batteries with many levels and indicators is established based on the three parameters of LOF, ImEn, and cell voltage range. Finally, the evaluation strategy is validated using two real-world vehicle samples of retired batteries. The results show that the proposed method can achieve the inconsistency evaluation of retired batteries quickly and effectively. Full article

Lithium-ion battery health and remaining useful life (RUL) are essential indicators for reliable operation. Currently, most of the RUL prediction methods proposed for lithium-ion batteries use data-driven methods, but the length of training data limits data-driven strategies. To solve this problem and improve the safety and reliability of lithium-ion batteries, a Li-ion battery RUL prediction method based on iterative transfer learning (ITL) and Mogrifier long and short-term memory network (Mogrifier LSTM) is proposed. Firstly, the capacity degradation data in the source and target domain lithium battery historical lifetime experimental data are extracted, the sparrow search algorithm (SSA) optimizes the variational modal decomposition (VMD) parameters, and several intrinsic mode function (IMF) components are obtained by decomposing the historical capacity degradation data using the optimization-seeking parameters. The highly correlated IMF components are selected using the maximum information factor. Capacity sequence reconstruction is performed as the capacity degradation information of the characterized lithium battery, and the reconstructed capacity degradation information of the source domain battery is iteratively input into the Mogrifier LSTM to obtain the pre-training model; finally, the pre-training model is transferred to the target domain to construct the lithium battery RUL prediction model. The method’s effectiveness is verified using CALCE and NASA Li-ion battery datasets, and the results show that the ITL-Mogrifier LSTM model has higher accuracy and better robustness and stability than other prediction methods.
