Abstract

Battery electric vehicles are environmental-friendly transport. However, the fast charging of Lithium-Ion batteries remains problematic. Because fast charging could introduce severe or non-reversible degradation. Thus, this paper dedicates to investigating the aging mechanism caused by fast charging. In the paper, the cylindrical Lithium Iron Phosphate battery is cycled at 4C-rate of more than three thousand times. Then, the battery is dissembled and specific positions are selected on both sides of the anode electrode for Scanning Electrode Microscopy and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy analysis. Results from the aged battery are compared with those captured from a fresh battery having the same calendar aging condition. The post-mortem analysis demonstrates the change in material structure and element composition. It shows that the predominant aging mechanism is lithium deposition, the loss of active material caused by phase transitions, and the dissolution of the cathode current collector. These aging mechanisms will lead to capacity loss or battery resistance increment.
