Effect of electrode configuration on the thermal behavior of a lithium-polymer battery

Modeling the Effects of the Cathode Composition of a Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery on the Discharge Behavior

“…where r p and r n are the resistances (Ω) of the positive and negative electrodes, respectively; V p and V n are the potentials (V) of the positive and negative electrodes, respectively; r p and r n are calculated as described in references [23][24][25]. The following Poisson equations for V p and V n are obtained by substituting Equations (3) and (4) into Equations (1) and (2), respectively:…”

“…By not calculating the distributions of the lithium ion concentration and electrolyte-phase potential, the model of Kwon et al [23] significantly saves computation time as compared to the rigorous porous electrode model, while maintaining the validity of the model, even at high discharge rates. Kim et al [24][25][26] performed two-dimensional thermal modeling to predict the thermal behavior of a LIB cell during discharge and charge on the basis of the potential and current density distributions obtained by the same procedure used by Kwon et al [23]. They reported good agreement between the modeling results and the experimental data.…”

“…They reported good agreement between the modeling results and the experimental data. Kim et al [27] extended their thermal model [24][25][26] to accommodate the dependence of the discharge behavior on the environmental temperature.…”

“…In this work, a one-dimensional model obtained by reducing the spatial dimension of the two-dimensional model of Kim et al [24][25][26] owing to the cylindrical symmetry of a coin cell is presented to investigate the effects of the cathode composition on the discharge behavior of a LFP battery cell comprising a LFP cathode, a lithium metal anode, and an organic electrolyte. Validation of the modeling approach is provided via a comparison of the modeling results with experimental measurements.…”

Module design and fault diagnosis in electric vehicle batteries

“…Such integration issues have been relatively poorly researched in the literature to date. Whilst there are papers exploring the electrical and thermal behaviour of individual cells under a variety of conditions [1][2][3][4][5], the monitoring and testing of individual cells in battery packs [6,7], and the thermal management of battery packs [4,[8][9][10], there are few which look at the electrical issues associated with the design and testing of complete modules, and those that do are for much lower power applications [11].…”
