TL;DR: In this article, the degradation phenomena and inference of their underlying mechanisms during 2C cycle aging in a cell design comprising LiMn1/3Ni1/ 3Co 1/3O2+LiMn2O4 composite positive electrode are studied and reported.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of 1.9-Ah Li-ion cells developed by a commercial source using a composite positive electrode comprising LiMn 1/3Ni1/3Co1/ 3O2+LiMn 2O4 is used as a platform for the investigation of certain key issues, particularly path-dependent aging and degradation in future plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) applications, under the US Department of Energy's Applied Battery Research (ABR) program.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the path dependence of aging processes in batteries developed for long-term usage, such as lithium-ion cells used in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) or plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) applications that may then be “retired” to be utilized in grid applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the physical and electrochemical properties of electrolytes with two novel phosphazene additives were evaluated, and a new method and new criteria were developed and validated on 10 variations of electrolyte/electrode substrates.

TL;DR: In this article, a high capacity electrochemical cell (18) having a cathode (24) containing an oxide of copper as an active material, as well as an anode (26), an electrolyte, and separators (32) was described.
