金属Li负极对于电池电压变化的影响较小,测试过程中的电压变化主要来自于正极材料,采用该方法得到的扩散系数主要反应正极材料的扩散系数。
利用上面得到的数据进行计算正极材料的扩散系数,重点关注4个电压数据,脉冲放电之前电压V0;恒流放电瞬间电压V1(脉冲瞬时放电),V0与V1差值主要对应电池内部的欧姆阻抗和电荷转移阻抗等对电压变化的影响;恒流放电结束时电压V2,对应于Li+扩散进入到正极材料内部引起的电压变化;静置后期电压V3,对应于Li+在活性物质内部进行扩散,最终实现稳态出现的活性物质电压变化。根据上述数据同时结合菲克第二定律,采用下面所示公式进行计算Li+在锂离子电池内的扩散系数Ds。
Ds=(4/πt)(Rs/3)2(△Vs/△Vt)2
此处Rs为球形颗粒半径,t为放电脉冲持续时间,△Vs=V0-V3;△Vt=V1-V2。测试结果见表3。
