Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since the first commercial lithium-ion battery was developed by Sony in 1991, lithium-ion batteries have become the major power sources for portable electronics, with their light weight, high energy density and long cycle life. Furthermore, in the past two decades, the application of lithium-ion batteries has been extended to transportation (hybrid electric vehicles and full electric vehicles), stationary energy storage and smart grids. To meet the ever-growing demand for energy conversion and energy storage, intensive efforts in lithium-ion batteries are still underway to improve the performance and advance the technology. Recently, high energy, high power, safety and low cost have become popular topics in the research and production of lithium-ion batteries. Related research on new electrode material synthesis, novel electrolyte systems, modified safety separators, and new electrode fabrication technology has been developed.

This Special Issue on “Research on Lithium-Ion Batteries and Materials” aims to publish cutting-edge research on the synthesis and modification of electrode materials, new electrolyte materials, and new electrode fabrication methods to advance the development of lithium-ion batteries towards high energy density, high power, safety and low cost.

The topics include but are not limited to:

  • High-energy-density electrode materials;
  • High-power electrode materials;
  • Novel electrolytes and additives;
  • New separators and separator modification;
  • Electrode fabrication technology;
  • Solid-state lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Ionic conductivity of the polyethylene oxide-LiClO4 (PEOnLiClO4) solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) films with an EO:Li ratio (n) of 10, 12, 15, as well as the hybrid composite solid polymer electrolyte (CSPE) films of PEOnLiClO [...] Read more.
Ionic conductivity of the polyethylene oxide-LiClO4 (PEOnLiClO4) solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) films with an EO:Li ratio (n) of 10, 12, 15, as well as the hybrid composite solid polymer electrolyte (CSPE) films of PEOnLiClO4 containing 50 wt% of cubic-Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) sub-micron sized particles, have been studied by varying Li-salt content in the films. The complex AC dielectric permittivity and conductivity data obtained from electrical impedance measurements were fitted using a generalized power-law, including the effects of electrode polarization applied at low AC frequencies to obtain various relaxation times. In addition to increased mechanical and thermal robustness, the CSPE films show higher values of ionic conductivity, >10−4 S/cm at room temperature compared to those of SPE films with n = 12 and 15. On the contrary, the ionic conductivity of CSPE with n = 10 decreases by a factor of three compared to the corresponding SPE film due to increased polymer structural reorientation and Li-ion pairing effects. The Vogel–Tammann–Fulcher behavior of the temperature-dependent conductivity data indicates a close correlation between the ionic conductivity and polymer segmental relaxation. The PEO12LiClO4-LLZO film shows the lowest activation energy of ~0.05 eV. Full article

The Peukert and Liebenow equations were obtained from experimental studies of lead–acid batteries. Currently, they are used to evaluate capacity released by batteries of other electrochemical systems (alkaline, lithium-ion, etc.), as well. In this paper, it is experimentally proved that for lithium-ion batteries, the Peukert equation can be used in two intervals of the discharge currents. The first interval includes currents from 0.2Cn up to the first inflection point of the experimental function of the battery capacity dependence on the discharge currents C(i). The second interval covers currents from the second inflection point of the experimental function C(i) up to the maximum currents that were used in the experiments. For some lithium-ion batteries, the range of low discharge currents, where the Peukert equation is applicable, is quite large and often completely covers the range of the discharge currents used in practice for these batteries. Therefore, many authors, when estimating the capacity of lithium-ion batteries, use the Peukert equation. However, the research in this paper shows that for lithium-ion batteries, the use of the Peukert equation is limited to the two discharge current ranges indicated above. Unlike the Peukert equation, the Liebenow equation can be used only in the range of small discharge currents from zero to the first inflection point of the experimental function C(i). Full article
