Exploring Key Factors in Battery Ageing

As the automotive industry embraces electrification, the longevity and performance of lithium-ion batteries remain crucial challenges. Both papers by Richard Stocker and his co-authors address critical ageing mechanisms in lithium-ion cells that impact their performance over time. The two research papers explore different resistance factors that contribute to battery degradation, providing insights that can enhance battery life and efficiency in electric vehicles (EVs).

• Ohmic Resistance: The first paper focuses on quantifying ohmic resistance, a key contributor to energy loss and performance reduction in lithium-ion cells. Understanding and minimizing this resistance is essential to maintaining battery efficiency and safety over time.
• Interfacial and Charge Transfer Resistance: The second paper delves into four methods for measuring interfacial and charge transfer resistance, both of which are critical factors in battery ageing. This research offers practical approaches to monitoring and understanding these resistances, thereby allowing for the estimation and root cause identification of battery performance changes due to ageing

Why This Research Matters:

• Improved Battery Longevity: By quantifying these resistance factors, manufacturers can better understand how batteries degrade over time and develop strategies to improve their durability and performance.
• Real-World Impact: These methods help manufacturers enhance the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries, which are crucial for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and other applications requiring sustainable energy solutions.
