HIGH PRECISION COULOMETRY AS A TECHNIQUE FOR EVALUATING THE PERFORMANCE AND LIFETIME OF LI-ION BATTERIES

The aim of this thesis is to develop a better understanding about the degradation mechanisms occurring within lithium-ion cells which eventually lead to their failure. An introduction to the components and operation of Li-ion cells is followed by proposed degradation mechanisms which limit the life...
