Influence of electrolyte additives on the gassing behaviour in silicon based lithium-ion batteries
This conference paper shows the influence of electrolyte additives on the gassing behaviour in silicon-based lithium-ion batteries. The stability of the electrolyte in a lithium-ion battery is an important issue when it comes to the lifetime of a battery. The decomposition of the electrolyte is noticeable through the formation of gases. By examining these gases, […]

Medium-Temperature Sodium-Iodine Battery System
A medium-temperature sodium-iodine battery system is presented. The rechargeable molten-sodium system works at approx. 100 °C with high efficiency, and potentially lower cost than existing high-temperature sodium-batteries (which are usually operating at a temperature of around 300 °C). Our battery system uses an aqueous iodine/iodide solution as catholyte and sodium-ion conductive Zr-based NaSICON (sodium super […]

Application-oriented analysis of ageing processes in Li-C half cells
Mechanical modifications or harmful side reactions are undesirable ageing effects that can occur during cycling. These phenomena have a negative impact on cell performance and consequently limit cycling stability. The focus here is on investigations of ageing processes such as volume changes during cycling. Thickness measurements of Li-C half cells with a carbonate-based electrolyte are […]
Characterization of Li-Ion Battery Aging – Design of Experiments and Test Setup
Battery Aging represents a major challenge for the design and operation of battery energy storage systems. Models to describe the degradation depending on factors like state of charge, temperature and charge-discharge cycles do exist. To parameterize these models, time-consuming and cost-intensive experiments are necessary so far. In the BaPoBs (Battery aging and Pareto-optimal operating strategy) […]
