The fast charging of Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) is an active ongoing area of research over three decades in industry and academics. The objective is to design optimal charging strategies that minimize charging time while maintaining battery performance, safety, and charger practicality.
Existing fast-charging protocols, such as CC-CV, MCC, and pulse charging strategies, have made notable progress in improving charging efficiency and reducing charging time. However, balancing charging speed with battery safety and lifespan remains a significant challenge.
Material design is essential to optimize the fast-charging performance. With the expansion of electric vehicles (EVs) industry, developing fast-charging lithium (Li)-ion batteries (LIBs) is highly required to eliminate the charging anxiety and range anxiety of consumers.
The proposed strategy effectively mitigates Li dendrite growth. As the internal battery state is continuously monitored in real time, this charging protocol is able to extend the cycle life of LIBs by 75 % at the same charging speed.
In the case of fast charging at high ambient temperatures or strong cell heating due to high charging currents, different aging mechanisms come into play. High temperatures are known to suppress lithium deposition; however, SEI growth is favored at elevated temperatures.
During fast charging, Li + ions intercalate into the anode and deintercalate from the cathode rapidly, leading to a severe lithium concentration gradient, strain mismatch between different parts of the electrode particle and stress development.
