STUDY OF LTO AS ANAODE IN LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES USING A THEORETICAL MODEL

Abstract

The performance of a battery is often determined by a number of factors and it is critical to tweak these factors in order to improve cell performance. In this study, parameters of Li4Ti5O12 (LTO)/ LiMn2O4 (LMO) materials made battery is modelled using 1-D cell geometry to obtain better electrochemical performance. The thicknesses of anode material, LTO has been adjusted as 75𝜇m, 100𝜇m, 125𝜇m, and 150𝜇m while the thickness of separator and cathode material, LMO is kept constant during simulation. The discharge curves of each of these variable thicknesses of LTO are plotted at lower to high C rates as 0.5C, 1C, 2C, & 4C, respectively. The discharge profile of these four full cells of varied anode thickness is also plotted at mentioned C Rates. Efforts are made to optimize anode thickness for better electrochemical performance. As a result, the outcomes could aid in the development of analytics for goods that have a lithium-ion battery as a component.
