Over-discharging is easier to occur at low temperatures. In this paper, the degradation characteristics were investigated by discharging to 2.75-0 V at 0°C and discharging at constant voltage for 0 and 2 hours, respectively. The results show that capacity fades linearly except for the 0 V-2 h cell that fades at an accelerated rate. The fade rates increase with decreasing discharging voltage. Besides, both the longer time of constant voltage and the lower discharging voltage contribute to loss of lithium inventory, loss of active materials, and internal resistance increase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
