Abstract
Though proven effective in localized corrosion studies, electrochemical noise measurements in batteries with Lithium based chemistries suffer from lack of well–defined measurement and analysis methods. The high capacitance electrodes made out of highly porous materials requires noise measurements to be extremely precise since the small charge due to stochastic events leading to electrochemical noise leads to very small voltage changes due to the large capacitance. Typically, the required precision is achieved by high gain after the offset is corrected. In this article, we are introducing a new offset correction scheme that mitigates the negative effects of electronic offset reduction methods. Using this new offset correction scheme we report the measurement of the otherwise elusive voltage noise of primary Li batteries.
Highlights
Information regarding the underlying processes that occur during the normal operation of electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems can be extracted through processing signals that are either the results of applied external excitations or intrinsically generated
Electrochemical noise measurements with the appropriate measurement and signal processing routines are expected to be relevant in this regard where electrochemical noise can be a vital indicator of the underlying processes that occur even at an apparent equilibrium
For primary chemistries that are inherently not rechargeable, nondestructive/equilibrium techniques such as electrochemical noise is attractive where conventional techniques deplete the battery in question during the quality control process
Summary
Information regarding the underlying processes that occur during the normal operation of electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems can be extracted through processing signals that are either the results of applied external excitations or intrinsically generated. These techniques elucidate the underlying processes to both diagnose the state of the systems and gain insights to increase generation performances.[1,2] Electrochemical noise measurements with the appropriate measurement and signal processing routines are expected to be relevant in this regard where electrochemical noise can be a vital indicator of the underlying processes that occur even at an apparent equilibrium. EIS becomes an invasive measurement whereas noise measurements, since they are done at the equilibrated state without any external excitations, are perfectly non-invasive
