Electrodes containing solely sodium alginate (SA) as a binder or a mixed PVDF/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) binder show the most stable performance in 1 M LiPF6 in EC/DMC 1:1 in half cell vs. Li, with respect to cycle stability over 100 cycles at 1 C. The electrodes processed with a mixture of PVDF/SA show considerable fading and slightly worse values for rate capability. Each one of the different binders used is eco-friendly, and the whole processing can be performed without the use of organic solvents. Further advantages covering the whole production and recycling process, as well as safety issues during operation, encourage deeper research in this area.}, language = {en} } @article{ZugschwertDundalekLeyeretal.2021, author = {Zugschwert, Christina and Dund{\´a}lek, Jan and Leyer, Stefan and Hadji-Minaglou, Jean-R{\´e}gis and Kosek, Juraj and Pettinger, Karl-Heinz}, title = {The Effect of input parameter variation on the accuracy of a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery Simulation Model}, series = {Batteries}, volume = {7}, journal = {Batteries}, number = {7}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3390/batteries7010007}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:860-opus4-2809}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Accurately predicting battery behavior, while using low input data, is highly desirable in embedded simulation architectures like grid or integrated energy system analysis. Currently, the available vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) models achieve highly accurate predictions of electrochemical behavior or control algorithms, while the optimization of the required input data scope is neglected. In this study, a parametrization tool for a DC grey box simulation model is developed using measurements with a 10 kW/100 kWh VRFB. An objective function is applied to optimize the required input data scope while analyzing simulation accuracy. The model is based on a differential-algebraic system, and an optimization process allows model parameter estimation and verification while reducing the input data scope. Current losses, theoretical storage capacity, open circuit voltage, and ohmic cell resistance are used as fitting parameters. Internal electrochemical phenomena are represented by a self-discharge current while material related losses are represented by a changing ohmic resistance. Upon reducing input data the deviation between the model and measurements shows an insignificant increase of 2\% even for a 60\% input data reduction. The developed grey box model is easily adaptable to other VRFB and is highly integrable into an existing energy architecture.}, language = {en} } @article{SchaelickeLandwehrDinteretal.2019, author = {Sch{\"a}licke, Gerrit and Landwehr, Inga and Dinter, Alexander and Pettinger, Karl-Heinz and Haselrieder, Wolfgang and Kwade, Arno}, title = {Solvent-Free Manufacturing of Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries via Electrostatic Coating}, series = {Energy Technology}, journal = {Energy Technology}, doi = {10.1002/ente.201900309}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:860-opus4-2819}, year = {2019}, abstract = {This work demonstrates the feasibility of a novel solvent-free anode production for lithium-ion batteries. It combines a modified dry-mixing procedure with an innovative electrostatic coating process. The mixing is divided into two steps. At first, carbon black and binder are deagglomerated and recombined to a matrix structure by intensive mixing. In a second less intensive step, this matrix is blended with graphite. The powder mixture is fluidized and then transferred to the current collector by inducing a high voltage. After a subsequent hot pressing step, the powder coating is permanently fixed on the current collector. This procedure is presented with three different fluorinated binders. Furthermore, effects of different mixing intensities on the powder and electrode properties are examined. The electrodes are investigated in the three-electrode T-cell setup versus lithium metal to examine their C-rates and cycle stabilities. The produced anodes offer comparable electrochemical performance to conventional wetcoated ones on electrode and cell levels. Overall, this new process is a suitable alternative to the conventional electrode production techniques.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZugschwertGoeschlIbanezetal.2021, author = {Zugschwert, Christina and G{\"o}schl, Sebastian and Ibanez, Federico Martin and Pettinger, Karl-Heinz}, title = {Development of a multi-timescale method for classifying hybrid energy storage systems in grid applications}, doi = {10.57688/303}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:860-opus4-3039}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2021}, abstract = {An extended use of renewable energies and a trend towards increasing energy consumption lead to challenges such as temporal and spatial decoupling of energy generation and consumption.

Such models are simple to calibrate and are therefore widely used in practice. The best-known model in this category was proposed by Tremblay et al. in 2007. This model, however, has several shortcomings, including low fidelity at high C-rates, and the fact that it does not model the battery management system.We propose an alternative, called the Powerbased Integrated (PI) model that is also completely spec-based, yet has much higher fidelity. We perform two types of validation, the first one uses the voltage profiles in the spec while the other is based on laboratory experiments. Both validations confirm that our model, which we have publicly released as a Simulink system block, has a mean absolute voltage error of less than 0.1 V across a wide range of C-rates.}, language = {en} } @article{ToigoSinghGmeineretal.2020, author = {Toigo, Christina and Singh, Madhav and Gmeiner, Benjamin and Biso, Maurizio and Pettinger, Karl-Heinz}, title = {A Method to measure the swelling of water-woluble PVDF Binder System and its electrochemical performance for Lithium Ion Batteries}, series = {Journal of The Electrochemical Society}, volume = {167}, journal = {Journal of The Electrochemical Society}, number = {2}, doi = {10.1149/1945-7111/ab68c2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:860-opus4-2766}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Water-soluble CMC/PVDF binder systems were used to prepare graphite anodes and compared mechanically and electrochemically with CMC/SBR binder systems.

The swelling of graphite electrodes was controlled and showed different results for different binder crystallinities (no swelling of binder with high crystallinity vs 12\% for medium crystallinity and 17\% for low crystallinity binder). The discharge capacity depends on the crystallinity of the binders and half-cells delivered a capacity in the range of 230-360 mAh g-1. The binder with medium crystallinity in particular exhibited the best mechanical and electrochemical performance and showed an excellent C-rate stability with specific capacities up to 10 C.

Here, surface resistance growth phenomena are quantified using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The graphite anodes were extracted from the graphite NMC cells in their fully discharged state and irreversible accumulations of lithium in the SEI are revealed using neutron depth profiling (NDP). In this post-mortem study, NDP reveals uniform lithium accumulations as a function of depth with lithium situated at the surface of the graphite particles thus forming the SEI. The SEI was found to grow logarithmically with cycle number starting with the main formation in the initial cycles. Furthermore, the EIS measurements indicate that benefits from lamination arise from surface resistance growth phenomena aside from SEI growth in superior anode fractions.}, language = {en} } @article{SpringerFrankenbergerPettinger2020, author = {Springer, Bernhard and Frankenberger, Martin and Pettinger, Karl-Heinz}, title = {Lamination of Separators to Electrodes using Electrospinning}, series = {PLOS ONE}, journal = {PLOS ONE}, number = {15}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0227903}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:860-opus4-2783}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This study shows the feasibility of the Electrospinning method as a process step for advanced and fast production Li ion cells.
