Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become increasingly important in recent years due to their potential impact on building a more sustainable future. Compared with other developed batteries, LIBs offer high energy density, high discharge power, and long service life. These characteristics have facilitated a remarkable advance in LIBs in many fields, including electric vehicles, portable and flexible electronics, and stationary applications. Since the field of LIBs is advancing rapidly and attracting an increasing number of researchers, it is necessary to provide the community with the latest updates often. Therefore, this Special Issue has been designed to focus on updating the electrochemical community with the latest advances and prospects on various aspects of LIBs. Researchers are invited to submit their original research as well as review/perspective articles for publication in this Special Issue. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Various types of LIBs: LCO, LMO, LFP, NMC, NCA, LTO, Li-S, Li-air;
  • Developing electrodes, electrolytes, and separators for LIBs;
  • Solid electrolyte interface (SEI);
  • Modeling of LIBs;
  • Battery management systems (BMS);
  • Battery life and safety;
  • Machine learning applications in LIBs;
  • Solid-state LIBs;
  • Wearable and flexible LIBs;
  • LIBs for electric vehicles.

LiFePO4 batteries exhibit voltage plateau and voltage hysteresis characteristics during charging and discharging processes; however, the estimation of state-of-charge relies on voltage detection. Thus, the estimation accuracy of SOC is low in a traditional method. In this paper, a full charge and discharge SOC correction method is proposed; i.e., the SOC is corrected to 100% when the battery is fully charged and to 0% when fully discharged, and the actual usable capacity is corrected using the fully discharged capacity after being fully charged. Thereby, the cumulative error of the ampere-hour integration method is dynamically corrected. In engineering applications, however, the battery systems do not always undergo full charge and discharge cycling due to the operating conditions. By making full use of the distributed control characteristics of the multi-branch topology battery system, the present work proposes an optimized system control strategy to realize the unsynchronized full charge and discharge cluster by cluster, which extends the application of the full charge and discharge SOC correction method. The experimental results verify the accuracy of the proposed SOC correction method and the feasibility of the control strategy. A more reliable and efficient battery management scheme is provided for LFP battery system, which has high practical value in engineering. Full article

Electric vehicle (EV) batteries, i.e., currently almost exclusively lithium-ion batteries, are removed from the vehicle once they no longer meet certain requirements. However, instead of being disposed of or recycled, the removed batteries can be used in another, less demanding application, giving them a “second life”. Research in the field of second-life batteries (SLBs) is still at an early stage and, to better understand the “second life” concept and the related challenges, potential second-life applications need to be identified first. Using a detailed study of the scientific literature and an interview with field experts, a list of potential second-life applications was drafted. Afterwards, a technical, economic, and legal evaluation was conducted to identify the most promising options. The findings of this research consisted of the identification of 65 different mobile, semi-stationary and stationary second-life applications; the applications selected as most promising are automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and industrial energy storage systems (ESSs) with renewable firming purposes. This research confirms the great potential of SLBs indicating that second-life applications are many and belong to a broad spectrum of different sectors. The applications identified as most promising are particularly attractive for the second-life use of batteries as they belong to fast-growing markets. Full article

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been used in many fields, such as consumer electronics and automotive and grid storage, and its applications continue to expand. Several studies have attempted to improve the performance of LIBs. In particular, the use of high-capacity silicon and tin as anodes has been widely studied. Although anodes composed of silicone and tin have high theoretical capacities, poor electrical conductivity and considerable volume expansion of such anodes deteriorate the LIB performance. Thus, Li4Ti5O12 (LTO), a zero-strain material, has attracted much attention with high cycle stability and rate capability through improved electrical conductivity. However, LTO has the disadvantages of a low electrical conductivity (10−8 to 10−13 S cm−1) and moderate Li+ ion diffusion coefficient (10−9 to 10−16 cm2 s−1). In this study, the flexible and free-standing composite films were fabricated using only LTO and multi-walled carbon nanotube(CNT) with high electrical conductivity and ion diffusivity. The prepared LTO/CNT films showed a higher charge/discharge capacity than the theoretical capacity of the LTO electrode. Full article
