Item Open Access Pressure characteristics and chemical potentials of constrained LiFePO4/C6 cells(2018) Singer, Jan Patrick; Kropp, Timo; Kuehnemund, Martin; Birke, Kai PeterConstraining lithium-ion cells increases the cyclic lifetime. However, depending on an expected volume expansion during charge and discharge cycling, defining the optimal constraining pressure range is not straightforward. In this study, we investigate a lithium iron phosphate/graphite pouch cell at four initial constraining pressure levels. As a function of C-Rate, the thermodynamic principle of the non-monotonic pressure curve during full charge and discharge cycles is evaluated. Using the rubber balloon model to calculate the chemical potential of lithium iron phosphate and discussing the relationship between the chemical potential and pressure, we illustrate the pressure curve qualitatively. By applying differential pressure analysis, we evaluate the resulting pressure curves of a single graphite stage. Approaching a fundamental understanding of reduced cycling lifetime of full cells with unknown material composition, we allocate the stages and stage transitions of graphite as well as the phase transition of lithium iron phosphate. Local extreme values in the differential pressure analysis indicate phase and stage transitions. These values can identify critical operating conditions that should be considered for defining the optimum initial constraining pressure range.Item Open Access Boron partitioning coefficient above unity in laser crystallized silicon(2017) Lill, Patrick C.; Dahlinger, Morris; Köhler, Jürgen R.Item Open Access Measuring test bench with adjustable thermal connection of cells to their neighbors and a new model approach for parallel-connected cells(2019) Fill, Alexander; Mader, Tobias; Schmidt, Tobias; Llorente, Raphael; Birke, Kai PeterThis article presents a test bench with variable temperature control of the individual cells connected in parallel. This allows to reconstruct arising temperature gradients in a battery module and to investigate their effects on the current distribution. The influence of additional contact resistances induced by the test bench is determined and minimized. The contact resistances are reduced from 𝑅Tab+=81.18 μΩ to 𝑅Tab+=55.15 μΩ at the positive respectively from 𝑅Tab-=35.59 μΩ to 𝑅Tab-=28.2 μΩ at the negative tab by mechanical and chemical treating. An increase of the contact resistance at the positive tab is prevented by air seal of the contact. The resistance of the load cable must not be arbitrarily small, as the cable is used as a shunt for current measurement. In order to investigate their impacts, measurements with two parallel-connected cells and different load cables with a resistance of 𝑅Cab+=0.3 mΩ, 𝑅Cab+=1.6 mΩ and 𝑅Cab+=4.35 mΩ are conducted. A shift to lower current differences with decreasing cable resistance but qualitatively the same dynamic of the current distribution is found. An extended dual polarization model is introduced, considering the current distribution within the cells as well as the additional resistances induced by the test bench. The model shows a high correspondence to measurements with two parallel-connected cells, with a Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) of 𝜉RMSD=0.083 A.Item Open Access Pulsed laser porosification of silicon thin films(2016) Sämann, Christian; Köhler, Jürgen R.; Dahlinger, Morris; Schubert, Markus B.; Werner, Jürgen H.
