Therefore, lithium composition range in anode and cathode in the full-cell departs from the one achieved in halfcells.1引言锂离子电池(LIB)目前被广泛应用于移动电子产品、电动汽车和能源存储1,2。锂离子充放电过程就是电子在阴极与阳极之间穿梭的过程。因此,在理想电池设计中,阳极和阴极中的锂化合物的成分
17、随电池充电状态的变化而变化,半锂电池的阳极、阴极和锂电池的最大化的储能性能应该匹配。然而在实际的操作中,充电状态匹配很难实现,主要是因为:1)电化学过程中的不可逆损失,比如在阳极表面的固体电解质界面(SEI)发生老化后,锂失活、活性材料电气断开,2)阳极和阴极反应的不平衡。电池产生了不可逆的锂损失,导致阳极和阴极都失去了锂。因此,锂电池中阳极和阴极的锂成分范围与理论值偏离。Typically, lithium half-cells contain excess metallic lithium so as to fully charge and discharge the working el
