Description:: The goal here is to study the voltage and expansion response of lithium-ion batteries at different charging rates. Specifically, the goal is to capture the observation of the smoothing of the peaks in dV/dQ and retention of the peaks in d^2 (backslash)delta/dQ^2 at higher C-rates. The retention of the peaks at higher charging rates enables better estimation of the cell capacity. To achieve this goal a reduced order electrochemical and mechanical model with multiple particles with a size distribution is developed. This allows us to capture the smoothing and preservation of the phase transitions in the voltage and expansion measurements at high C-rates, respectively. The model is written in Matlab software.

Description:: This section contains work related to the modeling of voltage degradation in a 24 cell PEM fuel cell stack with 300 cm2 cross-sectional area. The experimental hardware used to validate the model consists of a computer controlled system that coordinates air, hydrogen, cooling, and electrical subsystems to operate the stack. Dry hydrogen is pressure regulated for full utilization in the dead-ended anode. Using a solenoid valve, the anode is periodically purged to recover the gradual degradation in voltage. A membrane based humidifier controls the vapor content of the cathode gas stream while a mass flow controller is used to regulate the flow to the desired stoichiometry.

Description:: The focus of this research effort is to systematically study the capability of aging diagnostics using cell expansion under variety of aging conditions and states. The data collection campaign is very important to cover various degradation modes to extract the degradation features that will be used to inform, parameterize, and validate the models developed earlier. In the data collection campaign, we are documenting the evolution of the electrical and mechanical characteristics and especially the reversible mechanical measurement. It is important to note that we collect data using newly developed fixtures that enables the simultaneous measurement of mechanical and electrical response under pseudo-constant pressure.
