1. Overview of cathode materials of lithium-ion batteries   Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, aerospace and other fields due to their high energy density, high coulomb efficiency, long service life, no memory effect, low self-discharge characteristics and chemical potential of different electrode designs. In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have gradually occupied the main market share of electric vehicles, energy storage systems and mobile electronic devices. Since the first commercialization of lithium-ion batteries by Sony in 1990, the anode materials have been carbon-based materials, while the cathode materials have made great progress and are the most critical materials to promote the performance of lithium-ion batteries. The particle size,

Overview of anode materials of lithium-ion batteries In 1989, SONY company found that petroleum coke carbon materials could be used to replace metal lithium to make secondary batteries, which really opened the prelude to the large-scale application of lithium-ion batteries. In the next 30 years, three generations of products such as carbon, lithium titanate and silicon-based materials have been used as anode materials. This article will briefly introduce various lithium-ion battery anode materials according to the structural classification of anode materials. Characteristics of ideal anode materials The ideal anode material should have the following characteristics: 1.Low lithium insertion potential: To ensure a higher output voltage (the potential of the lithium

In the development and production of batteries, the three-electrode test system is an important analytical tool for accurately measuring and analyzing the electrochemical properties of battery electrodes. Compared with the traditional two-electrode system, the three-electrode system can better dissect the electrode behavior and reaction kinetics in batteries, and is therefore widely used in material testing and pole-and-ear cell testing. In this paper, we will introduce in detail the principle, working mechanism, application scenarios, equipment and fixture selection of three-electrode testing, as well as the influence of pole-ear design in three-electrode testing, safety considerations, and the need for equipment features.   1. Three-electrode material testing 1.1 Principle of three-electrode testing A

Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) is a technical method for studying the behavior, kinetics, and rate-determining steps of electrochemical reactions at the electrode/electrolyte interface. This method is simple to test, rapid in response, and provides rich information from the cyclic voltammograms obtained. It has a wide range of applications in the fields of materials science, chemistry, environmental science, and biochemistry. Particularly, it is indispensable for advancing knowledge and technological progress in the field of electrochemistry. Through Cyclic Voltammetry, one can determine electrode reversibility, electrode reaction mechanisms, and perform quantitative analysis in electrochemical experiments.     1. The principle of cyclic voltammetry Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) is an electrochemical analysis technique that studies the

Temperature has a significant impact on battery performance, particularly in lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in various applications due to their high energy density and stability. Here’s a detailed overview of the effects of temperature on batteries. Performance at High Temperatures High temperatures, especially above 35°C (95°F), can accelerate chemical reactions within the battery, leading to faster degradation and reduced lifespan .Overheating can cause thermal runaway, a dangerous condition where the battery can catch fire or explode . Prolonged exposure to high temperatures also increases safety risks and can lead to device failure . Performance at Low Temperatures Low temperatures, particularly below 0°C, impair charging efficiency as the internal
