Comparative Measurements of Side-Reaction Currents of Li[Li1/3Ti5/3]O4 and Li[Li0.1Al0.1Mn1.8]O4 Electrodes in Lithium-Ion Cells and Symmetric Cells

Lithium-ion batteries using Li[Li_1/3Ti_5/3]O_4 and Li[Li_0.1Al_0.1Mn_1.8]O_4 (LTO/LAMO) are very attractive for long-life and high-power applications. Capacity fading of the batteries mainly results from the deviation in the state of charges (SOCs) of LTO and LAMO electrodes caused by the difference in the side reaction currents of the electrodes....
