An analysis of design parameters for commercial cylindrical 18650 lithium-ion battery cells with different power to energy ratios
Abstract:
According to the energy and power characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, the batteries were
disassembled to analyze their component. Each type of cell performs different features. High power cell is able
to supply high current, but has low energy capacity and vice versa. Their output performance definitely reflects
their design. However, the relationship between design parameters and their performance is not obviously
clarified. This work aims to compare the design parameters of the battery cells and establish relationships
between the design parameters and various properties with the power-to-energy ratios (P/E ratio). Four
examples of commercial lithium-ion battery cells with different power and capacity ratings were selected and
analyzed their physical properties, including size, weight, energy capacity, power, and internal resistance, based
on the IEC62660 standard. The P/E ratios of the battery cells can be consequently calculated from the
aforementioned tests. The battery cells were then disassembled to analyze their component. The physical
characteristics, such as length, thickness, position of the current collector strip, electrical conductivity of the
electrodes are subsequently measured. The structure of the electrodes and separator, including the particle
size of the active materials and the surface morphology of the separator, are examined using a scanning electron
microscope (SEM). The chemical composition of the electrodes are simultaneously analyzed by energy
dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to define the chemistry of electrode materials. Finally, all the investigated
parameters are summarized and compared as well as constructed a relationship with the P/E ratios. By this
relationship, the battery cell design strategy to obtain the required performance on both energy and power
can be well-established
