本文研究了由石墨基阳极和LiNi0.80Co0.15Al0.05O2(NCA)氧化物基阴极组成的商用锂离子电池的老化行为。 容量损失取决于充电状态(SOC),而电池在定义的SOC下以部分循环运行。 正极材料的结构变化被认为是主要的老化过程。 尤其是电网服务(例如主控制储备)对于电池系统运营商而言具有经济利益。 在此应用中,小的充电和放电周期是主要的操作模式。 考虑到虚拟存储发电厂中单个电池存储系统的运行,人们更加关注不同的充电状态。 因此,研究了具有NCA基正极材料的锂离子电池在特定充电状态下以小放电深度(DOD)循环时的电池老化行为。 本文的结果提供了在给定的SOC行为下对小DOD循环的理解,这对于这种特殊情况下的NCA寿命预测是必要的,尤其是在具有各种存储系统的虚拟存储工厂中,因此用于交付的各种SOC主要保留了具有以下特征的小DOD行为对效率和经济的重要影响。 这是一个关键发现,哪些老化机制对于优化电池操作并使之适应系统性能至关重要。

tigated regarding their aging behavior. The capacity loss is dependent on the
state of charge (SOC) whereas the battery is operated with partial cycles at d

fied as dominating aging process. Especially grid services such as primary
control reserve are of economic interest for battery sy
stem operators. In this
application,
small charge and discharge cycles are the main operation mode.
Considering the operation of single battery storage systems in a virtual storage
power plant, different states of charges are much more of interest. Thus th

with respect to cycling at specific state of charge with small depth of discharge
(DOD) is investigated. The results in this paper provide understanding of
small DOD cycling at given SOC behavior which is necessary for NCA lif

in virtual storage plant with
various storage systems and thus various SOCs for delivery primary reserve
the small DOD behavior which has an important impa
ct on efficiency and
economy. It is a key finding,
which aging mechanisms are essential in order to
optimize the cell operation and adapt it to system performance.

singly important part of storage technologies in different sectors [1]-[6]. Based
on the reasonable power and energy density of lithium ion batteries, they occupy
a huge market share on consumer market like portable electronic devices (e.g.
notebooks and tablets) [7]. In the transportation sector, lithium ion storage is at
the moment almost indispensable. For full electric vehicles, lithium ion batteries
are more important than ever before [8]. Also in hybrid vehicles, lithium ion
batteries are used [9]. In combination with grid support, battery vehicles could
even supply primary control reserve [10].
But the key role for grid support in an energy market with high share of re-
newable energy behooves the stationary lithium ion battery energy storage ex-
cluded pumped hydro storage [11]. In the case of primary control reserve, li-
thium ion battery systems are the most promising technology, because of their
efficiency and cost structure [12]. One promising use case of lithium ion battery
storage systems could be the combination of residential battery systems, to store
renewable energy, and the supply of primary control reserve in a virtual storage
power plant [13]. For primary control reserve, there are no more full cycles for
relevance, but partial cycling will gain in importance. In this case, it is insuffi-
cient to know what the impact of decreasing depth of discharge (DOD) is, but
even more it is necessary to know in which state of charge region the system be-
havior could be improved considering aging characteristics of lithium ion cells.
The high efficiency of lithium ion cells compared to other storage technolo-
gies like redox flow techniques or lead acid is an advantage. But, it is also cell
degradation via aging observed, which is the main disadvantage of lithium ion
batteries. An overview of aging mechanisms in literature could be found in [14].
The main aging mechanisms could be divided into two parts, the aging behavior
on cycling and the calendric aging effects [15], both effects occur on anode elec-
trodes as well as on cathode electrodes. The most important anode material is
graphite. The aging of graphite is dominated by growth of the solid electrolyte
interface (SEI) [16] which leads to an increase of internal resistance. It changes
the electrode/electrolyte interface via building a solid inorganic electrolyte inter-
face. The main mechanism is the decomposition of organic electrolyte. SEI
growth with direct increasing of internal resistance is the main factor of calen-
dric aging. In addition different mechanisms on the cathode side are known for
calendric aging. In literature, different materials with different aging behaviors
are known, especially deactivation of active material, dissolution of particles and
side-reactions of active material [17] [18] [19].
As mentioned before, all active materials suffer under degradation by cycling
[20] [21] [22] via mechanical stress and specific chemical depending mechan-
isms. Based on volumetric change of active material and dissolution and growth
of SEI micro, cracks could be observed which are leading to lithium plating [23].

face while cycling [24]. In addition, at the LFP cathode, cracks could be observed
by anisotropic effects during coexistence of a Li-rich and a Li-poor phase while
cycling [25]. Positive electrodes with LiMn

phase [26]. The layered NMC is very stable by cycling,
but structural rearrangements of NMC and change of stochiometry of transition
metals leads to capacity loss caused due to higher electrolyte reactivity, which
promotes side reactions [27].
In this study the focus is on the cathode material NCA, which is also a layered
oxide material and known for long term stability and high energy density. The
calendric aging progress is minted on the main effect of a graphite/NCA cell via
the growth of SEI and is described in [28]. But changing from calendaric aging
to the degradation on cycling aging a strong influence of the cathode is found in
[29]. In another investigation on NCA based lithium ion batteries increased
current rates with high DOD lead to a rapid degradation of the active material
caused by micro cracks on the surface [30]. Especially this finding will be con-
ducted in the following discussion for the findings obtained here. In addition an
inactive state of Ni
3+
and Ni
2+
is observed in [31] with oxygen loss of the active
material. This leads to disabled lithium for intercalation and deintercalation, re-
sulting in changes of the cell behavior at exactly given potentials. As an impor-
tant effect in NCA materials a phase transition is known with a crystal structure
change between monoclinic to hexagonal [32]. This transition is at a fixed po-
tential which can directly correlated with the finding obtained in the results part
and discussed later on.

. The procedure is started
with a galvanostatic measurement for cycling with small depth of discharges at
specific state of charge (SOC) and subsequent periodic capacity determination to
investigate capacity progress. After every 1000
th
partial cycle an electrochemical
impedance spectroscopy for the investigation of impedance development, in or-
der to interpret ohmic, charge transfer and diffusion behavior is carried out. The
third part of measurement procedure is the cyclic voltammetry (CV). Based on
CV the mechanism of different degradation behavior is discussed. The potentio
dynamic measurement allows conclusions about electrochemical behavior con-
cerning the kinetics and physical processes on the electrodes [33].
2.1. Cycling Tests
The cycle tests are executed with a battery test system Basytec XCTS. In order to
control the ambient temperature a climate chamber CTS T-40/350 is used. The

SOC is adjusted via Ah counter with an accuracy of ±0.2%. In this study two av-
erage states of charge are considered. The first state of charge is at 30% SOC with
an initial open circuit voltage of 3.53 V and the second cycle test belongs to the
state of charge 70% (OCV of 3.75 V). For each cycle test two cells are considered
and the current rate is C/3.
After every 1000
th
partial cycle with a DOD of 10% executed via an Ah-coun-
ter a characterization cycle is carried out. That characterization cycle is done for
capacity determination and readjusting the SOC, which was not necessary dur-
ing the whole testing time. In order to determine the capacity loss two discharge
capacities are specified. After the common CC-CV charge cycle with CV poten-
tial of 4.0 V and the abort criterion of C/20, a discharge with CC of C/3 like
charging is done. Subsequently a constant voltage phase at 2.7 V with the same
abort criterion like charging is carried out.
Table 1 shows the comparison of the
cycling conditions.
2.2. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)
After each 1000
th
cycle a galvanostatic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
(EIS) is carried out to interpret the capacity loss behavior. The impedance spec-
troscopy is done via multi-channel galvanostat/potentiostat EC-Lab Biologic
VMP3 and a current Booster VMP3 B-10. The ambient temperature is con-
trolled by the climate chamber Binder KB53. The impedance spectroscopy is
used to determine internal resistance and interfacial capacitance of cell. The ba-
sic of this measurement is by reference an AC source to determine the imped-
ance depending on frequency by varying it. The measurement allows interpret-
ing equivalent resistance and interfacial capacitance values by means of correla-
tion to electrode interfacial phenomena [34]. In this study the carried out band-
with of frequency is 6 kHz up to 50 mHz with 36 points per decade in logarithm
spacing. Per each frequency an average of two measurement points is carried
out. The galvanostatic impedance mode is carried out with an amplitude of 1 A.
