Abstract
The microscopic and macroscopic changes of lithium-ion batteries after high temperature cycling and their effect on external short circuit (ESC) are studied in this study. The results indicate that solid electrolyte interphase and cathode electrolyte interphase cover the surface of anode and cathode. Transition metal, Mn is dissolved from the cathode. Capacity and resistance decreases and increases after cycling at high temperature. The safety of batteries after ESC is ranked as: 70 % state of health (SOH) > 100 % SOH > 80 % SOH > 90 % SOH. Thermal runaway only occurs to battery with 90 % SOH after ESC. Increase of resistance after cycling affects heat generation during ESC less. Onset temperature and thermal runaway temperature increases and decreases owing to solid electrolyte interphase growth and Mn dissolution. Compared to fresh battery, safety of battery with 70 % SOH after ESC increases. Fast discharging causes side reactions for aged batteries, which also generate heat. The heat generation effect of fast discharging decreases with the decrease of SOH after 90 % SOH. Local micro internal short circuit causes more heat generation for aged batteries. The results are important for safety control of lithium-ion battery.
