The cycling performance (at room and elevated temperature) and rate capability of the 18650 cell (LiMn2O4:Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 (8:2)/Li4Ti5O12) cell containing TBBA-mixed electrolyte is similar to that of cell containing the reference electrolyte. A detailed analysis of the surface on both the anode and the cathode electrodes via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the cathode electrode contains more Br components than the anode electrode. Within the first few cycles, on the positive electrode, we observe competing redox processes between the cathode material containing Mn and TBBA, which generate hydroxy radicals and other by-products. This process and the electrochemical reductive decomposition of TBBA to HBr, Br2 and bisphenole A are responsible for the increased flame retardant properties of the electrolyte containing TBBA. Safety tests were performed using an 18650 cell showed that even 1 wt.% of TBBA in the electrolyte significantly reduces cell flammability.

Research paper thumbnail of Failure mechanism of Li-ion battery at overcharge conditions

3 C) has been studied. Battery surface temperature, heat
output, and voltage were monitored and analyzed during
overcharge testing. It has been shown that the heat rate of
the battery surface does not increase in proportion to the
applied current rate. Separator shutdown properties may be
realized for heat rates less than 3 °C/min. Li-ion batteries
have been submitted to different stages of overcharge by a
“ soft ” overcharge technique (1 C to 4.4, 4.6, and 5.0 V).
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests of the
charged anode, cathode, and separator recovered from
overcharged cells have been performed. It was found that
the anode at different overcharged states has two main
exothermic peaks at 120 and 300 – 320 °C. At a higher state
of overcharge (SOOC), the second peak shifts to a lower
temperature. DSC for overcharged cathodes has more
complicated profiles depending on SOOC. Increasing the
cutoff voltage from 4.4 to 5.0 V shifts the maximum of the
first temperature peak from 235 to 200 °C and the second
from 345 to 320 °C. Electrical impedance spectroscopy and
scanning electron microscopy have been used to characterize electrode materials at different SOOC and overcharge
conditions. The heat rate (related to current), cell construction, and design are considered as the main factors of Li-ion
battery failure at overcharge.

This technique gives us flexibility to investigate each step of the overcharging process. DSC and SEM tests of the anode, cathode and separator recovered from overcharged cells have been performed. It was shown that the thermal runaway will happen when the heat generation is not equal to the heat dissipation during the battery operated at an overcharge condition. The high overcharging rate shows short responding time for the cell thermal runaway and large amount of heat generation. A kinetic mechanism proposed in this study for interpreting the observation of species growth on the surface of separator in the anode side and causing soft shorting of the cell.

It is shown that as the irradiation dose increases the concentration of topological branching knots into the polymer chains and the Tg values decrease, the total mass loss and the enthalpy of the thermal isomerization reaction also decrease.

The electrochemical behaviour is studied under the conditions of Li+ intercalation. It is shown that PA application on a metal surface facilitates the formation of Li-Al-Mg alloy. The composites can be used as materials for negative electrodes in Li batteries.

One more property, namely electrical conductivity of the polymers with conjugated double bonds, was unexpected. Attempts to combine the properties of metals (conductivity) and those of polymers mentioned above were made for a long time. Mechanical mixing of powders of a metal or graphite with polymers could not give a material with high parameters without a deterioration of electrical conductivity or economic utility. Increasing the metal content results in an increase in conductivity but raises the cost of the product and lowers the mechanical parameters inherent in polymers [I]. A new class of organic polymers that conduct an electrical current, which are sometimes called "organic
metals," occupies an intermediate position between semiconductors and metals in the 10-9-l@ S/cm range"

consisting of a polyethylene (PE) substrate covered with a polyacetylene (PA) layer are studied. Properties of
a free PA film are determined by the catalyst used in its synthesis. Properties of composites depend on the opti-
mum selection of the PA/PE ratio (by weight), the catalyst used for polymerizing PA, and the PE structure. The
capacity of composites is higher than that of free PA films. This points to the possible role of an increased trans-
port of lithium cations at interfaces."

Thin conducting polyacetylene films with strong adhesion to Li or polyolefin surface was formed and studied by electrochemical methods. AC impedance measurements and charge/discharge tests were applied for prepared coin cells with LiCoO2 as a cathode material in the presence of 1 M LiPF6in dimethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate (5:3:2 vol) electrolyte. Three kinds of polyolefins were used to prepare composite separators with polyacetylene: polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and three-layer type: PP–PE–PP.
The polyacetylene film thickness on Li metal or polyolefin separator was easily controlled by catalyst concentration and polymerization time. It was shown that high ionic conductivity (7.5×10−5 Scm −1) might be achieved due to higher porosity of a polyethylene separator. Li–polyacetylene electrodes showed highest ionic conductivity and stability in charge/discharge tests.
