Lithium-ion batteries experience complex reactions between the electrodes and the electrolyte under non-standard conditions. Investigating these reactions is crucial for ensuring battery durability and safety. In thi. ••Side reactions in LIBs during overcharging at elevated temperatures. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have gained popularity as power sources for portable devices and electric vehicles (xEVs) [1,2]. xEVs rely on a series of connected modules made u. We used LiNi0.75Co0.15Al0.05Mg0.05O2 (NCA-Mg), synthesized through coprecipitation, as the active material for the positive electrode [26,27]. To prepare the positive elect. 3.1. Overcharging curvesFig. S1 shows the initial charge-discharge curves of the cell fabricated in this study, the previously reported cell, and the 500-mA h-class 1. The objective of our study was to quantitatively analyze the reactions occurring in LIBs during normal charge–discharge and overcharging, to improve their dur.

What side reactions occur in lithium ion batteries during overcharging?
Side reactions that occur in LIBs during overcharging include the oxidative and reductive decomposition of the electrolyte components [,, ], irreversible degradation of the positive and negative electrode materials by electrolyte decomposition residuals, and lithium metal plating at the negative electrode.
Does overcharging a negative electrode cause a lithium-plating side reaction?
The number of side reactions increased with the temperature, and a substantial rise was observed at 100 °C, consistent with the operando analysis findings from XRD and XAFS measurements. However, the lithium-plating side reaction at the negative electrode during overcharging at 30 °C was not evident as a side reaction in Fig. 6.
Utilizing the Co valence information derived from alterations in Co K-top energy, we could qualitatively discern the side reactions occurring at the positive electrode. The slope of the Co K-top energy change shifted within the overcharged region, corroborating the escalation of side reactions at the positive electrode with increasing temperatures.
What is the side reaction capacity of a positive electrode?
Based on the operando XAFS measurements, the side reaction capacity of the positive electrode up to an SOC of 100% (C p_std) was determined to be 0 mA h at all temperatures.
What happens if a lithium metal is exposed to a polymer electrolyte?
Contact with lithium metal triggers chemical reactions, involving reduction and structural changes in the polymer electrolyte. The ionic conductivity of the reaction products is usually lower than that of the electrolyte, necessitating lower reductive reactivity of the polymer electrolyte.
When the battery temperature reaches a certain threshold, the outer shell melts, effectively blocking the pores and ion transport. Lithium plating usually occurs in commercial LIB anodes and is one of the primary reasons for severe battery damage. Inhibiting Li metal plating is the way for practical implementation.
