摘要
An apparatus was built to make accurate and precise in situ measurements of the volumes of gas evolved in Li-ion pouch cells during operation. With a thin film load cell accurately measuring the weight of a cell submerged in a fluid, the volume of a pouch cell can be precisely monitored using Archimedes' Principle. Examples showing the utility and sensitivity of the device have been selected from measurements made during the formation cycle (very first charge and discharge) of Li[Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3]O-2/graphite (NMC) Li-ion pouch cells. Gas production occurs at the very beginning of the formation cycle but quickly stops for cells containing a variety of electrolytes. The volume of the pouch cell then decreases with time. The testing of cells with various electrolyte additives indicated that the common additive, vinylene carbonate, is very effective at reducing the amount of gas formed during formation, but the best results among the additives reported here were obtained by using a combination of 2% vinylene carbonate and 2% prop-1-ene 1,3-sultone. The additives vinyl ethylene carbonate and ethylene sulfite were found to delay the onset of gas production during formation.
