Solar energy harvesting is practiced by various nations for the purpose of energy security and environment preservation in order to reduce overdependence on oil. Converting solar energy into electrical energy through Photovoltaic (PV) module can take place either in on-grid or off-grid applications. In recent time Lithium battery is exhibiting its presence in on-grid applications but its role in off-grid application is rarely discussed in the literature. The preliminary capacity and Peukert's study indicated that the battery quality is good and can be subjected for life cycle test. The capacity of the battery was 10.82 Ah at 1 A discharge current and the slope of 1.0117 in the Peukert's study indicated the reaction is very fast and independent on rate of discharge. In this study Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (LFP) after initial characterization was subjected to life cycle test which is specific to solar off-grid application as defined in IEC standard. The battery has delivered just 6 endurance units at room temperature before its capacity reached 75% of rated value. The low life of LFP battery in off-grid application is discussed based on State of Charge (SOC) operating window. The battery was operated both in high and low SOC's in off-grid application and both are detrimental to life of lithium battery. High SOC operation resulted in cell-to-cell variation and low SOC operation resulted in lithium plating on negative electrode. It is suggested that to make it more suitable for off-grid applications the battery by default has to be overdesigned by nearly 40% of its rated capacity.

본 연구에서는 리튬이온전지용 친수화된 세퍼레이터의 전기화학적 성능에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 리튬이온전지용 분리막으로 사용되는 폴리올레핀 소재는 소수성이고, 카보네이트 계열의 유기용매를 사용하는 전해액은 친수성을 가진다. 따라서 리튬이온전지는 수계전해액을 사용하기 때문에 폴리올레핀계 분리막에 다양한 친수성 고분자를 도입하여 친수화 처리하였다. 코팅된 세퍼레이터의 변화를 평가하기 위해, 표면 관찰, 코팅시간에 따른 친수화도, 다공성, 젖음성에 대한 특성평가를 수행하였다. 최종적으로 리튬이온이 코팅된 세퍼레이터의 저항과., 이온전도도를 측정하여 리튬이온전지 성능평가를 진행하였다. PMVE로 코팅한 세퍼레이터의 친수화 정도가 우수하며, 세퍼레이터의 기공이 잘 유지되어 우수한 이온전도도를 나타냄으로써 이차전지 배터리에 적용을 위한 잠재성을 가짐을 확인하였다.

In order to design capacity of lithium ion battery, some calculations were carried out based on the characteristics of materials by the given battery shape and dimension. The principle of design was built by the interpretation of the correlation of material, electrochemical and battery factors. Parameters of materials are fundamental physical properties of constituent such as cathode. separator, anode, current collectors and electrolyte. Electrochemical factor includes potential pattern as a function of specific capacity, specific discharge capacity(or initial irreversible specific capacity or Ah efficiency) as a function of specific charge capacity and material balancing. Parameters of battery are dimension, construction hardware and performance.

Lithium-Ion batteries have become the best tradeoff between energy, power density and cost of the energy storage system in many portable high electric power applications. In order to manage the battery efficiently State of Charge (SOC) of the battery needs to be estimated accurately. In this paper a model-based approach to estimate the SOC of the Lithium-Ion battery based on the estimation of the battery impedance is proposed. The validity and feasibility of the proposed algorithm is verified by the experimental results.

As the demand for lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles is increasing, it is important to recover valuable metals from waste lithium-ion batteries. In this study, the effects of gas flow rate and hydrogen partial pressure on hydrogen reduction of NCM-based lithium-ion battery cathode materials were investigated. As the gas flow rate and hydrogen partial pressure increased, the weight loss rate increased significantly from the beginning of the reaction due to the reduction of NiO and CoO by hydrogen. At 700 ℃ and hydrogen partial pressure above 0.5 atm, Ni and Li₂O were produced by hydrogen reduction. From the reduction product and Li recovery rate, the hydrogen reduction of NCM-based cathode materials was significantly affected by hydrogen partial pressure. The Li compounds recovered from the solution after water leaching of the reduction products were LiOH, LiOH·H₂O, and Li₂CO₃, with about 0.02 wt% Al as an impurity.

A battery management system requires accurate information on the battery state of charge (SOC) to achieve efficient energy management of electric vehicle and renewable energy systems. Although correct SOC estimation is difficult because of the changes in the electrical characteristics of the battery attributed to ambient temperature, service life, and operating point, various methods for accurate SOC estimation have been reported. On the basis of piecewise linear (PWL) modeling technique, this paper proposes a simple SOC observer for lithium-polymer batteries. For performance evaluation, the SOC estimated by the PWL SOC observer, the SOC measured by the battery-discharging experiment and the SOC estimated by the extended Kalman filter (EKF) estimator were compared through a PSIM simulation study.

Initial irreversible capacity (IIC) can be defined by means of the initial intercalation Ah efficiency (IIE) and the initial irreversible specific capacity at the surface (IICs) with the linear-fit range of the intercalation so as to precisely express the irreversibility of an electrode-electrolyte system. Their relationship was IIC = Qc - Q$_{D}$ = (IIE$^{-1}$ - 1) Q$_{D}$ + IICs in the linear-fit range of IIE. Here, Qc and Qd signify charge and discharge capacity, respectively, based on a complete lithium ion battery cell. Charge indicates lithium insertion to carbon anode. Two terms of IIE and IICs depended on the types of active materials and compositions of the electrode and electrolyte but did not change with charging state. In an ideal electrode-electrolyte system, IIE and IICs would be 100%, 0 mAh/g for the electrode and mAh for the cell, respectively. These properties can be easily obtained by the Gradual Increasing of State of Charge (GISOC).OC).

In a lithium-ion battery which is being used in many portable electronic goods, electrolyte is disaggregated and then the gas is happened when electric charging volt is over the 4.5V. So, the pressure on the safety valve is increased and electrolyte is leaked out in the cell. It leads to the risk of explosion. On the other hand, in the case which the battery is discharged excessively, the negative pole is damaged and the performance of the battery is deteriorated. The protection module of a lithium-ion battery is used for preventing such risk and the inspection system is needed to check the performance of such protection module. In this research, a PC-based auto inspection system is developed for the inspection of a battery protection module using Dallas chipset. In the inspection system, AVRl28 chip is used as a controller and the communication protocol is developed for the data communication between the protection module and the AVR128 chip. And GPIB interface is used for the control of measuring devices. Also, MMI environment is developed using LabView for convenient monitoring by the tester.

In this study, cell performance and thermal stability of lithium-ion cells with a polyimide (PI) separator are investigated. In comparison to conventional polyethylene (PE) separator, the PI separator exhibits distinct advantage in microporous structure, leading to superior reliability of the cell. The cells with PI separator exhibit good cell performances as same as the cells with PE separator, but their reliability was superior to the cell with PE separator. Especially in the hot-box test at 150 and 180℃, PI separator showed a contraction percentage close to 0% at 150℃, while the PE separator showed a contraction percentage greater than 10% in both width and length. Therefore, the PI separator can be the promising candidate for separators of the next generation of lithium-ion battery.
