Understanding the passivation effect
battery can harness the passivation effect to deliver a self-discharge rate as low as 0.7% per year, permitting up to 40-year battery life. By contrast, a lower quality LiSOCl 2 cell with higher passivation can exhaust up to 3% of its total capacity each year due to
6 FAQs about [Causes of battery passivation]
Does passivation cause voltage delay?
Passivation may cause voltage delay after a load is placed on the cell as illustrated in the following drawing: After a load is placed on a cell, the high resistance of the passivation layer causes the cell's voltage to dip. The discharge reaction slowly removes the passivation layer thereby lowering the internal resistance of the cell.
What would happen if a lithium battery didn't have a passivation layer?
Without the passivation layer, this type of lithium battery would not exist because the lithium would discharge and degrade quite rapidly. An advantage of the passivation layer is it allows the battery to have a very low self discharge rate and extremely long shelf life. The most obvious affect of the passivation layer is voltage delay.
What causes a voltage delay in a passivated cell?
As the passivation layer thickens, the voltage delay becomes more severe. On continued discharge though, the voltage of a passivated cell will rise to a level equivalent to the load voltage of an unpassivated cell. Adjusting storage conditions to reduce the likelihood of passivation is the best way to reduce voltage delay problems.
Where does passivation occur in a lithium battery?
Since passivation begins to occur as soon as the lithium metal battery cell is manufactured, it occurs anywhere the cell or battery pack using the cell is located. Thus passivation is occurring naturally in the battery while in transit, in storage, at the shop, at the rig, or downhole even while operating, if current loads are very low. Why?
How does temperature affect the passivation layer of a battery?
Higher temperature causes a thicker passivation layer, thus storing at cooler (room) temperature helps mitigate passivation layer growth. Consequently, using fresher batteries helps assure a less resistive passivation layer has formed in the battery. The passivation layer is diminished by appropriate electrical current flow through the cell.
What is passivation in a lithium thionyl chloride battery cell?
Passivation in a lithium thionyl chloride battery cell is a chemical reaction between the solid metallic lithium metal and the liquid catholyte (cathode and electrolyte) in the cell. It is a self-assembled, thin, highly resistant layer of lithium chloride crystals on the surface of the lithium metal.
