This review systematically introduces the factors responsible for the decline in LIBs performance at low temperatures, including reduced ionic conductivity in the electrolyte, increased Li + desolvation energy in the electrolyte, slow transfer kinetics at the interface, on the anode significant lithium plating and dendrite formation, and slow Li + diffusion within the electrode material.
Recent research indicates that the low-temperature performance of LIBs is constrained by the sluggish diffusion of Li + in the electrolyte, across the interfaces, and within the electrodes. At lower temperatures, the rise in electrolyte viscosity results in a slower ion transport rate, which is a key factor affecting battery performance.
However, the performance of LIBs deteriorates severely in low-temperature environments. The specific performance includes a decrease in discharge capacity, a decline in cycle performance, and the difficulty of charging . Additionally, lithium plating may occur when LIBs are charged at low temperatures .
Whilst there have been several studies documenting performance of individual battery chemistries at low temperature; there is yet to be a direct comparative study of different electrochemical energy storage methods that addresses energy, power and transient response at different temperatures.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are extensively utilized in electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems to meet the growing energy demand, due to their high energy density, extended lifespan, and absence of the memory effect.
