The Application of Accelerating Rate Calorimetry in Li-ion Cells

More about the book

The book explores the role of electrolyte additives in enhancing the lifespan and safety of Li-ion cells by modifying the solid electrolyte interphase and passivation layers on electrodes. It introduces an experimental method using accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) to assess the effects of these additives on electrode reactivity at elevated temperatures. Findings indicate that certain additives significantly reduce self-heating rates, suggesting that their incorporation could lead to safer Li-ion batteries.
