Impact of Testing Fixtures on the Cycle Performance of LFP Batteries Cycle performance is a fundamental metric for evaluating the service life of lithium-ion batteries. It is influenced by a wide range of factors, including material properties, cell structure, moisture content, and manufacturing processes. Furthermore, external parameters such as temperature, cycling protocols, and mechanical pressure also significantly impact the cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries. To investigate the effect of testing fixture constraints on cycle performance and to enhance the reliability of pouch cell testing during the system optimization phase, this study focuses on a 3.65 Ah LiFePO4 (LFP)/graphite pouch cell. Two types of testing fixtures were evaluated: non-constrained fixtures, utilizing

According to statistics from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), the retail penetration rate of NEV passenger vehicles grew to 54% in 2025. This marks the first time it has surpassed the 50% threshold, setting a new historical record—a 6.4 percentage point increase compared to 47.6% in 2024. This signifies that in the passenger vehicle sector, NEVs have become the primary choice for car buyers, while internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles have officially become the

Sharing the testing procedures for coulombic efficiency of lithium copper batteries and LSV. Source: WeChat Official Account “Brother Radish” 萝卜大师兄 Lbdsx and Google Gemini. Today I’m sharing the testing procedures for the coulombic efficiency (CUE) and LSV of lithium-copper batteries.   What is LSV? In the field of lithium metal battery research, LSV (Linear Sweep Voltammetry) for lithium-copper (Li-Cu) asymmetric cells is primarily used to evaluate the electrochemical stability window of the electrolyte and to observe the lithium nucleation process. Unlike a standard charge/discharge test, LSV involves sweeping the potential at a constant rate to observe where the electrolyte begins to decompose or where lithium begins to plate onto the

Reference for Li-Cu Battery Testing: Assessing Coulombic Efficiency in Lithium Metal Anodes Team of Professor Lorenzo Stievano, University of Montpellier, France – Chemistry of Materials   Abstract Although lithium metal and anode-free rechargeable batteries (LMBs and AFBs) are phenomenal energy storage systems, the formation of lithium deposits with high surfaces during repeated plating–stripping cycles has hindered their practical applications. Recently, extensive efforts have been made to prevent the growth of high-surface lithium deposition, e.g., electrolyte modification, artificial coating deposition, lithiophilic current collectors, composite lithium metal electrodes, etc. In most of these approaches, Coulombic efficiency (CE) has been used as a quantifiable indicator for the reversibility of the LMBs and AFBs.

How to set Shuttle Current Test on Neware BTS for lithium-sulfur batteries? What is Shuttle Current Test? The following information comes from Google Gemini and my friends who research lithium-sulfur batteries.   I asked Google Gemini: How to set Shuttle Current Test on Neware BTS for lithium-sulfur batteries? What is Shuttle Current Test? What is the Shuttle Current Test in Lithium-Sulfur Batteries? In Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery research, the Shuttle Current Test is the primary quantitative method used to evaluate the severity of the “polysulfide shuttle effect.” Because long-chain lithium polysulfides (LiPS) are highly soluble in organic electrolytes, they tend to migrate between the cathode and anode. This parasitic movement causes
