Understanding the behavior of lithium-ion batteries under extreme conditions, such as low temperature, is crucial for their widespread adoption in various applications. While poor performance at low temperatures is often attributed to inferior lithium-ion transport in the electrolyte, new electrolyte development and battery preheating approaches have been popular in addressing this issue. However, a significant irreversible capacity loss remains unresolved and not well understood, emphasizing the need for further research in this area.
Understanding the behavior of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) under extreme conditions, for example, low temperature, is key to broad adoption of LIBs in various application scenarios. LIBs, poor performance at low temperatures is often attributed to the inferior lithium-ion transport in the electrolyte, which has motivated new electrolyte development as well as the battery preheating approach that is popular in electric vehicles. A significant irrevocable capacity loss, however, is not resolved by these measures nor well understood. Herein, multiphase, multiscale chemomechanical behaviors in composite LiNixMnyCozO2 (NMC, x + y + z = 1) cathodes at extremely low temperatures are systematically elucidated. The low-temperature storage of LIBs can result in irreversible structural damage in active electrodes, which can negatively impact the subsequent battery cycling performance at ambient temperature. Beside developing electrolytes that have stable performance, designing batteries for use in a wide temperature range also calls for the development of electrode components that are structurally and morphologically robust when the cell is switched between different temperatures.
