Charge transport and chemical reactions during charging and discharging of a battery produce heat that determines temperature behaviors. The elevated temperature causes undesired side reactions that accelerate degradation and potentially result in catastrophic operating conditions like a thermal runaway. The heat generated in an operating battery is generally approximated by the sum of the reve...

Pristine and substituted spinels, Li(M1/6Mn11/6)O4 (M ~ Co1/6, Co1/12Al1/12) were prepared and their cathodic performance up to 80 cycles at ambient temperature and at 50 uC and the Li ion kinetic parameters obtained by galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) at ambient temperature and 50 uC and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) at ambient temperature up to 80 cycles we...

To improve the use of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicle (EV) applications, evaluations and comparisons of different equivalent circuit models are presented in this paper. Based on an analysis of the traditional lithium-ion battery equivalent circuit models such as the Rint, RC, Thevenin and PNGV models, an improved Thevenin model, named dual polarization (DP) model, is put forward by ad...
