Abstract

Acoustic emission(AE) signal was detected during charge and discharge of lithium ion battery to investigate relationships among cumulative count, discharge capacity, and microdamages. AE signal was received during accelerated charge/discharge cycle test of a coin-type commercial battery. A number of AE signals were successfully detected during charge and discharge, respectively. With increasing number of cycle, discharge capacity was decreased and AE cumulative count was observed to increase. Microstructural observation of the decomposed battery after cycle test revealed mechanical damages such as interface delamination and microcracking of the electrodes. These damages were attributed to sources of the detected AE signals. Based on a linear correlation between discharge capacity and cumulative count, feasibility of AE technique for evaluation of battery degradation was suggested.

리튬이온전지의 충/방전 열화 과정에서 발생하는 음향방출 신호를 검출하여 누적카운트, 방전용량, 미세손상 사이의 상관관계를 확인하였다. 상용 리튬이온전지를 사용하여 가속 충/방전 싸이클 실험을 하면서 음향방출 신호를 수집하였다. 다수의 음향방출 신호가 전지의 충전 및 방전 과정에서 각각 검출되었다. 충/방전 열화 싸이클이 증가함에 따라 전지 용량은 감소하였고 음향방출 신호의 누적카운트는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 충/방전 후 전지를 분해하여 내부 전극 손상을 관찰한 결과 전극 계면 박리 및 미소균열이 다수 확인되었으며, 이러한 기계적 손상이 음향방출원인 것으로 판단된다. 전지 방전용량과 음향방출 누적카운트 사이에는 선형의 상관관계가 있었으며, 이로부터 음향방출법을 이용한 리튬이온전지 열화 평가 가능성을 제안하였다.
