Global Model for Self-Discharge and Capacity Fade in Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on the Generalized Eyring Relationship

In this paper, we present an innovative and precise way to calculate the available capacity in a battery. This quantity is essential to assess the ageing process during real use or ageing tests. Classical methods for measuring the available capacity in a battery are very dependent of impedance and relaxation state of the battery. Consequently, these methods are not suitable to quantify reversible and irreversible capacity losses occurring on batteries. We propose an indirect measure of available capacity that reduces the distortion caused by battery relaxation and impedance changes. This new method provides more accurate results allowing to distinguish reversible from irreversible part of capacity losses. The obtained results on calendar ageing tests are used in a second part to model both self-discharge and capacity fade in a global approach by using the generalized Eyring relationship.
