In the recent publication "Li-ion half-cells studied operando during cycling by small-angle neutron scattering" a Li-ion half-cell with a graphite electrode is cycled against a metallic lithium counter-electrode using small-angle neutron scattering. [read more]

The recently published paper "Analysis and modeling of cycle aging of a commercial LiFePO4/graphite cell" by Dr. Maik Naumann and co-authors deals with the cyclic aging of commercial LFP graphite cells and its modeling.   Based on a large-scale cycling experiment, the most important influencing parameters for aging were identified and transferred into a semi-empirical model. This model was… [read more]
