A multi-stage lithium-ion battery aging dataset using various experimental design methodologies

Abstract

This dataset encompasses a comprehensive investigation of combined calendar and cycle aging in commercially available lithium-ion battery cells (Samsung INR21700-50E). A total of 279 cells were subjected to 71 distinct aging conditions across two stages. Stage 1 is based on a non-model-based design of experiments (DoE), including full-factorial and Latin hypercube experimental designs, to determine the degradation behavior. Stage 2 employed model-based parameter individual optimal experimental design (pi-OED) to refine specific dependencies, along with a second non-model-based approach for fair comparison of DoE methodologies. While the primary aim was to validate the benefits of optimal experimental design in lithium-ion battery aging studies, this dataset offers extensive utility for various applications. They include training of machine learning models for battery life prediction, calibrating of physics-based or (semi-)empirical models for battery performance and degradation, and numerous other investigations in battery research. Additionally, the dataset has the potential to uncover hidden dependencies and correlations in battery aging mechanisms that were not evident in previous studies, which often relied on pre-existing assumptions and limited experimental designs.
