Customer ServiceOxidation reactions occurring at the cathode in lithium ion batteries. There are two regions of gas evolution attributed to the cathode in lithium ion batteries additional to the degradation of surface contaminants, at higher voltages electrolyte oxidation can be the main contributor to gas evolution.
At elevated temperatures, oxygen released from the cathode can react intensely with the electrolyte or anode, drastically raising the battery's temperature. The greater the amount of lithium retained in the anode (the higher the SOC), the greater the energy release upon reaction, and, consequently, the higher the risk of thermal runaway.
What happens in a lithium-ion battery when charging (© 2019 Let’s Talk Science based on an image by ser_igor via iStockphoto). When the battery is charging, the lithium ions flow from the cathode to the anode, and the electrons move from the anode to the cathode.
What happens in a lithium-ion battery when discharging (© 2019 Let’s Talk Science based on an image by ser_igor via iStockphoto). When the battery is in use, the lithium ions flow from the anode to the cathode, and the electrons move from the cathode to the anode. When you charge a lithium-ion battery, the exact opposite process happens.
This results in the reduction of Co(IV) to Co(III) when the electrons from the anode reaction are received at the cathode. Because lithium is involved in the reactions at both electrodes, the battery can be recharged by running the reactions in reverse. These reactions can be run in reverse to recharge the cell.
At the anode, neutral lithium is oxidized and converted to Li+. These Li+ ions then migrate to the cathode, where they are incorporated into LiCoO2. This results in the reduction of Co(IV) to Co(III) when the electrons from the anode reaction are received at the cathode.
