▼ The increasing environmental concern and the expedited consumption of fossil fuels make the development of sustainable energy technology more urgent and significant. Nanoscience and technology recently have attracted much attention due to their appealing applications in the fields of clean energy technology. The advancement of the renewable materials shines the light to the alternative energy sources, where fuel cells and batteries are the most noticeable candidates. The goal of this research is to show the relationship between the nano-structures and the electrochemical properties by modified preparation process and provide deeper insight into the mechanisms for fuel cells and batteries application. As a representative fuel cell, direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have recently gained interest because methanol is energy-dense and reasonably stable at all environmental conditions. One of the key reactions of DMFCs, methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), is kinetically sluggish. Here we developed tunable pore size Au micromeshes with a high density of surface as an effectively active electrocatalyst for MOR. The electrochemical performance of Au micromeshes can be further tuned experimentally, based on the d-band theory. There are other important electrochemical reactions that require high performance catalysts. For example, electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a promising way to store energy from intermittent electricity sources and simultaneously deplete the redundant CO2 in the air. Here I investigated the grain size effect of porous Cu nanowires on the selective electrocatalytic reduction of CO2, demonstrating that grain size engineering is an effective approach to enhance the electrocatalytic performance of metal catalysts. Electrochemical reactions also contribute to energy storage by batteries. This thesis also describes anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIB). A major challenge of SIB is lack of a suitable anode with high capacity and long-term cyclability. In this research, Sb2Te3/C nanocomposite has been successfully prepared as anode for SIB. The Sb2Te3 nanocrystals are embedded in the carbon matrix, which not only provides an electron path, but also binds the Sb2Te3 nanograins together and suppresses the pulverization during cycling.

▼ This dissertation delivers a measurement methodology based on three-point bending tests in AFM for intrinsic material properties at the single particle level of three different nanomaterial systems. Sodium manganese oxide NWs, which are promising cathodic nanomaterials for Na ion batteries, represent the first material system investigated within this thesis. YM of pristine Na0.44MnO2 and acid leached Na0.44-yMnO2 (y~0.23) NWs was determined through AFM based three-point bending tests. It was observed that acid leaching modulates the Na-content within these materials and is reflective of the material microstructure changes during electrochemical de-sodiation. SOC dependent YM affects the computation of stresses generated during reversible intercalation in any rechargeable battery. Therefore, the information gained in this investigation is important in modeling stress fields and predicting fracture in these Na-ion battery materials. Next, Ge NWs, which represent a high capacity Li-alloying anode material, were investigated. YM of these single crystalline [111] Ge NWs was measured using AFM based three-point bending tests. This study revealed the significance of extremely thin surface layers on the elastic properties of NW electrodes. Finally, alpha-phase MnO2 NWs, which are another tunnel crystal structured cathodic nanomaterial candidates for rechargeable battery systems, were studied. These NWs were mechanically tested at two different SOCs: (i) lithiation at 3.4V, and (ii) one full electrochemical cycle of lithiation and delithiation at 3.4V and 4.6V respectively. While this material showed relatively no change in YM at the levels of lithium loading induced in these experiments, it exhibited plastic recovery at low loading rates as opposed to the brittle fracture observed in past reports at much higher loading rates. This is attributed to dynamic recrystallization induced by shear distortions within the crystalline tunnels and points to an important avenue for alleviating mechanical fracture / degradation within ceramic battery nanomaterials. In summary, these studies present new information, which would be essential inputs to predicting the mechanical stability of these battery material systems. The capabilities discussed within this dissertation, together with capabilities to engineering the crystal structure of electrode nanomaterials offer a pathway to enhance the mechanical stability of next-generation, rechargeable battery systems.

▼ Le secteur des TIC (Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication) est grand consommateur d'énergie (assemblage d'appareils, constructions de réseaux, opérations, refroidissement et autres). Des études montrent que l'ensemble des activités de l'informatique en nuage consomme plus d'énergie que des pays entiers comme l'Allemagne ou l'Inde. De plus, des estimations récentes montrent que le secteur de l'informatique en nuage, et donc l'énergie consommée par les centres de données sur lesquels elle repose, est encore en croissance. Dans cette thèse, je développe des approches pour faciliter la consommation énergétique responsable des centres de données hétérogènes et par conséquent réduire la consommation d'énergie globale du secteur des TIC. Pour faciliter la consommation énergétique responsable, il faut savoir combien d'énergie est consommée. Ceci est influencé par l'infrastructure, mais aussi par chaque application qui tourne dans le centre de données. Malheureusement, on ne peut pas appliquer un wattmètre à une application. Pour contourner cette limitation, cette thèse propose des modèles réalistes pour estimer la consommation énergétique à plusieurs niveaux. Cette thèse est organisée comme une pile à 3 niveaux: (1) centre de données, (2) virtualisation, (3) applications clientes. Au premier niveau des centres de données nous commençons par une première phase d'étude de l'influence de l'hétérogénéité matérielle sur la consommation de puissance des applications. Dans une deuxième phase, nous développons EPAVE, un modèle pour la facturation proportionnelle à l'énergie dans les environnements virtualisés. EPAVE est supporté par PowerIndex, un framework pour le profilage et l'estimation d'énergie. Au deuxième niveau de la virtualisation nous présentons BitWatts, un outil middleware pour construire des wattmètres logiciels. Avec BitWatts, on franchit la barrière des environnements virtualisés pour proposer une estimation de consommation pour des applications s'exécutant au sein de machines virtuelles. Enfin, au troisième niveau, nous modélisons les batteries d'appareils mobiles et proposons une approche pour prolonger leur durée de vie. Advisors/Committee Members: Pascal (Dir.), Anita (Codir.).

▼ Battery evolution is targeting always smaller, lighter, and less expensive systems in order to keep up with electronics development. Electric vehicles are starting to spread in many countries and several multinational car corporations, captained by Tesla, are investing in this technology. Moreover, it is just a matter of time before also the electric grid would need powerful batteries to implement the renewable energies, overcoming the issue of discontinuous production. The two main limitations of today Li{ion batteries are the energy density and the high cost. Remarkable improvements are needed to meet future requirements and it is progressively clearer that we are reaching the maximum exploitation of that system. The question is which revolutionary battery will replace Li{ion and become the pivot of the energy storage of tomorrow? Metal-air batteries are considered from lots of scholars as the system of the future. They have an astonishing energy density, one order of magnitude higher than the ones of Me-ion and they are less expensive. Among those new type of batteries, the most studied has been Li-air, yet some complications delayed the obtaining of a practical battery and some researchers started to look around to nd other possible metals to employ as the anode. Sodium turned out to be one of the most promising candidates, thanks to its abundance on the Earth crust (2.83% vs. 0.0018% of Lithium), its low cost (1.7 =kg vs. 68 =kg of Lithium), and its high efficiency, due to one{electron transfer reactions. This thesis reports the experimental work done at the Nanomaterials Energy Systems Laboratory at UIC, nalized to the study of Sodium{Oxygen battery. From the preparation of anode and MoS2 nano-flakes coated carbon cathode, to the shallow cycling of the cells. First, we explored different electrolytes and salts, to nd the best combination. Then we performed a systematic study on the influence of current rates and salt concentrations on the performance, and nally we began to analyze the passivation of the anode as protection against side{reactions and poisoning.

▼ Developing electric vehicles is widely considered as a direct approach to resolve the energy and environmental challenges faced by the human race. As one of the most promising power solutions to electric cars, the lithium ion battery is expected to achieve better performance, durability and safety. Fracture induced by lithiation and deliathiation stress has been identified as a major mechanism that leads to capacity loss and performance degradation. This work aims to shed light on the thermo-mechanical behavior of lithium ion battery electrodes. It presents a single particle model of random lattice spring elements coupled with solid phase Li-ion diffusion under active temperature effects. The thermal features are realized by solving a lumped heat conduction equation and by including temperature dependent parameters. This model combined with a typical equivalent-circuit model is used to predict the impedance response of electrode particles. The fracture generation increases as the temperature decreases. However, the diffusion induced fracture is found to be proportional to the current density and particle sizes. Simulations under realistic driving conditions show that the fraction of particle damage is determined by the highest current density drawn from the battery. A 3D phase map of fracture damage is presented. The transit fracture growing process reveals a saturation phenomenon where the fraction of damage increases to a threshold value and then stabilizes. This is observed both during single discharging processes and in multiple cycle simulations. In the multicycle analysis, the charging process following the initial discharging leads to a ???re-saturation??? where the fracture experiences a second increase and then stops growing ever after. The impedance study suggests that the generation of fracture leads to increase in impedance response of electrode particles. The calculated impedance results are found to be directly related to current density and particle size but drops with increasing temperatures.

▼ This thesis presents experimental measurements and modeling of multi-scale collective behaviors characteristics of hierarchical interfaces in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) during cycling. Two interfacial mechanisms are introduced: One is in-plane sliding between lithiated electrodes (a-SiLix) and current collectors (Cu). The other is normal contact between the internal interfaces of pouch battery cells. To estimate the interfacial properties at a-SiLix//Cu interfaces, a new apparatus, named “Self-Adjusting Liquid Linnik Interferometer (SALLI)”, has been invented to perform in situ whole field deformation measurements with µm resolution in lateral direction and nm resolution in out-of-plane direction. Our result clearly demonstrates Li segregation at the interface initially which leads to 200 µm shrinkage of the Si film in the first cycle due to relaxation of residual tensile stress. A mechanical model system, plate bending distribution sensor (PBDS), which incorporates substrate bending and interfacial sliding in its calibration has been developed. By bridging the deformation estimated from PBDS and that measured from the SALLI experiment, the interfacial properties are extracted quantitatively. The critical energy release rate is estimated as 0.075 J/m2 and 0.34 J/m2 for the receding and growing shear crack fronts respectively. A remarkable discovery is that the interfacial shear strength of the actively segregating lithium at the interface is measured only 1.15 kPa. It is due electro-chemically active lithium-ion segregation process that allows slip processes of hopping through a series of meta-stable atomic configurations. Finally, two sets of in situ experiments have been performed and a mechanical model has been developed to explain the internal contact mechanism and its relationship with interface bubble-gas evolution. Through these techniques, the degradation mechanism of the pouch cells are explained. It shows that applying 4–5 psi prestressed pressure to the cell can better control the bubble-gas formation and increase the electrode contact area. Therefore, the battery life is efficiently elongated. It is hoped that the thesis work can contribute to optimal design of battery cells and maximize cell capacity and life of LIBs.

▼ Today, smartphones have become an important part of our day to day life. Every day, practically every one of us wakes up in the morning hearing the sound of an alarm coming from our smartphone. First thing in the morning, we see the LED flashing on the phone and we have the urge to check all the notifications we got during the night. We unplug our phone from the charger. We read some notifications, we ignore some, we reply to some. Finally, we get out of the bed. We use it all day for everything: replying to emails, text messages and social networking. Finally, we go to bed, plug it back into the charger cable. We touch it until our eyelids close for the night's sleep. We have this routine usage of our smartphone almost every day. Every user uses his/her phone in his/her own way. Not all the people are the same. Not all the people have the same routine of life. But our smartphone is not really smart enough to learn our routine and adapt to us. Our smartphone does not understand our needs. Either it just performs on its own or it performs only after we ask. There is a lot of areas that need automatic adaptation. Smartphones are the devices that perform tasks equal to a laptop or a desktop machine but with limited resources like battery, memory, screen size, etc. Unlike laptop users, smartphone users do not carry chargers with them all the time. Considering smartphone's limited battery as a serious concern, the battery would be the main area that needs automatic adaptation. Smartphones should know the user's recharge cycle and use the available energy efficiently by spending when it is in excess and reserving when it is in shortage. Computation complexity has been doubling every couple of years. But, the battery capacity has been doubling every 10 years. So, it is our responsibility to use the energy efficiently without a compromise in user experience. We propose ENDLESS (Energy Distribution Through Lifetime Estimation and Smartphone Usage Patterns) to determine if energy is to be saved for future use or if it can be consumed for present use according to the estimations of the next recharge time, applications and services that might be used in the near future and how much battery would be needed.

▼ Metal-oxygen batteries recently emerge as one of the most promising post-Li-ion energy storage technologies. The key feature of this technology lies in the conversion reactions of O2 at the cathode. Such a chemistry promises the highest theoretical energy densities due to the contribution from the cathode reactions. However, the conversion between various oxygen-based species suffer severe kinetic penalties, resulting in poor energy efficiencies and low rate capabilities. To promote these reactions, catalysts with desired functionality and stability are needed. On the other hand, the O2-based chemistry incurs severe parasitic chemical reactions against various cell components, including the anode, the cathode and the electrolyte. Consequently, the reported cyclabilities of metal-oxygen batteries remain much worse than required. While stable cathode and anode candidates have been developed, further advance of this technology still hinges on developing stable electrolyte and efficient catalyst to ensure prolonged and stable cell operations. In the first part of this thesis, two distinct strategies were exploited as proof-of-concept demonstrations on the catalyst design for metal-oxygen batteries. For one, using Li-O2 batteries as a study platform, we show that the stability of catalyst can be heavily dependent on the synthesis history. A novel approach, namely carbothermal shock method, was found to enable superior chemical and structural stability of the catalyst compared to those of the catalyst prepared by conventional methods. For another, using Mg-O2 batteries as prototypical system, we demonstrate a strategy using two redox mediators that concertedly operate for discharge and recharge. As a result, a total overpotential reduction by ca. 600 mV can be achieved through manipulating the charge transfer mechanism. To meet the need of a stable electrolyte for metal-oxygen batteries, in the second part of this thesis, we analyzed the decomposition pathways of the electrolyte in the presence of reactive oxygen species. Using Li-O2 battery as a model system, we address this issue by employing a water-in-salt (WiS) electrolyte that eliminates organic solvents all together. WiS was found stable under Li-O2 battery operation conditions. When carbon was used as a cathode, much longer cycling numbers (>70) can be achieved in WiS than in organic ones. When carbon was replaced with a carbon-free cathode (TiSi2 nanonets decorated with Ru catalyst), over 300 reversible cycles was measured. The unique feature of WiS also enables other opportunities beyond O2 chemistry in metal-oxygen batteries. Toward the end of this thesis, we employ WiS for electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions. By controlling the concentration of H2O in WiS, the rate determining step on Au catalyst was found to be the first electron transfer from the electrode to CO2. Moreover, the reduced H2O activity by WiS significantly suppressed hydrogen evolution reactions, through which high selectivity toward CO can be measured. Our study provides important knowledge… Advisors/Committee Members: Udayan Mohanty (Thesis advisor).

▼ A rechargeable hybrid aqueous battery (ReHAB) system was recently developed by our research group. It has been improved via different experimental approaches, but nobody yet has tried to use mathematical modeling techniques to further understand the system. This thesis tries to investigate the ReHAB system using a few current modeling methods. The study is categorized into empirical level, electrochemical engineering level and atomistic level. At the empirical level, a battery is simply viewed as a whole system, which means detailed descriptions in terms of the cathode, anode or electrolyte are ignored. By using the historical experimental data, researchers can predict the future behavior of a battery regardless of its internal phenomena. They usually employ some general mathematical functions, such as polynomial, logarithmic, exponential or other nonlinear functions. Currently automatic curve fitting and predicting algorithms are commonly used in the battery management system, due to the advantage in coping with the system nonlinearity. The first study in this thesis implements a tracking method called particle filter method on the ReHAB experimental data. The basic math function in the simulation is an empirical formula between the battery capacity and the Coulombic efficiency. The study confirms this correlation in the ReHABs, and proves that particle filter method can be a good option in battery performance tracking and prediction. At the electrochemical engineering level, battery performance is simulated in the continuum models, by incorporating chemical or electrochemical reactions, transport phenomena or interfacial kinetics. This level of simulation can help observe battery electrodes in details. It is more accurate than the empirical level model, and more versatile in simulating various electrochemical problems. This thesis secondly focuses on the ReHAB system cathode and anode using finite element method, which is implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics. The study includes a design of battery system model, investigation of species distribution during cell operation, side-reaction effects and anode corrosion issues. The models designed at this level give consistent results compared with the experimental data, and illustrate some guidance for the potential experiments. At the atomistic level, molecular simulation can model the system dynamics via step-by-step computation. Stochastic method is an efficient molecular method to investigate electrochemical problems coupled with species diffusion and chemical reactions. Atomistic simulation commonly spends longer time, but it can be very accurate regarding the evolution of a dynamic physical system. The study at this level employs the classical stochastic method on the electrochemical deposition of Zn atoms. It is focused on the dendrite formation via implementing diffusion-limited aggregation techniques and the remaining metal ions by using stochastic simulation methods. The simulation schematically illustrates the overpotential influence on the dendrites and…

▼ Metal air battery has captured the spotlight recently as a promising class of sustainable energy storage for the future energy systems. Metal air batteries offer many attractive features such as high energy density, environmental benignity, as well as ease of fuel storage and handling. In addition, wide range of selection towards different metals exists where different energy capacity can be achieved via careful selection of different metals. The most energy dense systems of metal-air battery include lithium-air, aluminum-air and zinc-air. Despite the choice of metal electrode, oxygen reduction (ORR) occurs on the air electrode and oxidation occurs on the metal electrode. The oxidation of metal electrode is a relatively facile reaction compared to the ORR on the air electrode, making latter the limiting factor of the battery system. The sluggish ORR kinetics greatly affects the power output, efficiency, and lifetime of the metal air battery. One solution to this problem is the use of active, affordable and stable catalyst to promote the rate of ORR. Currently, platinum nanoparticles supported on conductive carbon (Pt/C) are the best catalyst for ORR. However, the prohibitively high cost and scarcity of platinum raise critical issues regarding the economic feasibility and sustainability of platinum-based catalysts. Cost reduction via the use of novel technologies can be achieved by two approaches. The first approach is to reduce platinum loading in the catalyst formulation. Alternatively platinum can be completely eliminated from the catalyst composition. The aim of this work is to identify and synthesize alternative catalysts for ORR toward metal air battery applications without the use of platinum re other precious metals (i.e., palladium, silver and gold). Non-precious metal catalysts (NPMC) have received immense international attentions owing to the enormous efforts in pursuit of novel battery and fuel cell technologies. Different types of NPMC such as transition metal alloys, transition metal or mixed metal oxides, chalcogenides have been investigated as potential contenders to precious metal catalysts. However, the performance and stability of these catalysts are still inferior in comparison. Nitrogen-doped carbon materials (NCM) are an emerging class of catalyst exhibiting great potential towards ORR catalysis. In comparison to the metal oxides, MCM show improved electrical conductivity. Furthermore, NCM exhibit higher activity compared to chalcogenides and transition metal alloys. Additional benefits of NCM include the abundance of carbon source and environmental benignity. Typical NCM catalyst is composed of pyrolyzed transition metal macrocycles supported by high surface area carbon. These materials have demonstrated excellent activity and stability. However, the degradation of these catalysts often involves the destruction of active sites containing the transition metal centre. To further improve the durability and mass transport of NCM catalyst, a novel class of ORR catalyst based on nitrogen-doped…

▼ Traditional high-voltage battery systems are implemented using multiple battery modules connected in series, with each battery module made up of many series/parallel connected cells, to provide the required voltage and power. In the series-connected batterysystems, typically, separate converters for battery module balancing, bi-directional connection to a load and charging from an external power source are employed. In this thesis, anintegrated reconfigurable converter (IRC) topology for high-voltage series-connected battery storage systems is proposed. The main advantage of the proposed converter is thatit can be reconfigured to operate in a range of operating modes: ‘feeding a load’ from thebattery system, ‘feeding a load from a backup’ power source, ‘regenerative’ mode, ‘batterymodule balancing’ mode and ‘charging’ mode. The proposed topology shares semiconductor devices and an inductor among the operating modes which makes it compact. It alsoexhibits redundant modes which, together with a backup mode, increase its reliability.Furthermore, the proposed IRC topology minimises the batteries’ stress during chargingand discharging cycles. Operation of all modes is analysed and explained in detail.For the state of charge (SOC) ‘battery module balancing’ mode, two advanced strategies are developed. A distributed control strategy provides advantages in terms of reducedcommunication requirements and increased modularity, over a centralised battery management system. A load sharing balancing strategy distributes the load between the batterymodules based on their SOC and is useful in applications where simultaneous balancingand load supply is required.In the initial IRC configuration, the ‘charging’ mode is implemented using a unidirectional DC/DC buck converter supplied by an external DC source. To further extend theIRC flexibility, an enhanced IRC configuration with bidirectional energy transfer betweenthe battery modules and the AC grid is presented.The IRC topology can be used for hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs) as well. Theproposed integrated reconfigurable configuration for HESSs allows direct energy transferbetween the energy storage systems by using only a single converter and bypassing the DClink. This reduces stress on the DC link, reduces the DC link capacitor size and improvesoverall efficiency.All proposed IRC configurations and operating modes are experimentally verified.

▼ The increase in energy consumption and the need to decrease the amount of CO2 emitted in the atmosphere, has pushed the world's leading manufacturers in the automotive field to invest in research aiming to find cleaner energy storage devices. Among them, metal-air batteries has attracted a lot of attention because of their incredibly high energy density. These systems aim to offer in the future a charming alternative to the high-consumption widespread Li-ion batteries in terms of efficiency, energy density, costs, rechargeability, and safety. Different metals can be adopted as anode and, for this project, we decided to employ magnesium in our system. Magnesium batteries, if they will ever truly become a product of commercial interest, will be much smaller than Li batteries, cheaper, and safer, besides ensuring a high energy density. The purpose of the work is to provide some notion on battery basic working principles and to explore different electrolytes, salts and catalysts which could be good candidates for magnesium-oxygen battery system. Different experiments have been carried out to better understand and analyze the evolution of the chemical processes, reduce the polarization gap, and improve efficiency and cycleability. Many combinations have been considered, utilizing as solvents: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME), and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIMBF4); and as salts: trifluoromethanesulfonate, bromide, chloride, and nitrate. Moreover, the report will analyze the effect of changes in ratio between the solvents and various salts concentrations, plus the use of several salts mixtures in order to promote magnesium plating and stripping. Finally, cyclic voltammetry experiments have been performed, using MoS2, WS2 and MoxW(1-x)S2 (i.e. different molar ratio) to evaluate their catalytic activity in Mg/O2 batteries.

The field of energy storage has improved drastically within the last two decades. Batteries of various chemistries have been relied on to provide energy for numerous portable electronic devices. Lithium-ion cells, when compared to other chemistries have been known to provide outstanding energy-to-weight ratios and exhibit low self-discharge when not in use [1]. The aforementioned benefits in conjunction with decreasing costs have made lithium-ion cells an exceptional choice for use in electrical vehicles (EVs). Battery Management Systems (BMS) in EVs are responsible for providing estimates for values that are indicative of the battery pack’s present operating condition. The current operating condition could be described by State of Charge, power fade, capacity fade and various other parameters [2]. Importantly, it is essential for the estimation technique to adjust to fluctuating cell characteristics as the cell ages, in pursuance of having available accurate estimates for the life time of the pack. In order for the estimation technique to properly estimate the desired quantities, a mathematical model capable of capturing cell dynamics is desired. There are various proposed methods recommended for mathematically modeling a cell, namely equivalent Circuit modeling, electro-chemical modeling and impedance spectroscopy. Consequently, in order to ensure mathematical models are accurate and further to have the ability to compare the proposed models, it is essential to have available data gathered from a given cell at specific operating conditions. This Master’s thesis outlines the development of a lithium-ion cell tester that is capable of controlling, monitoring and recording parameters such as current, voltage and temperature. The Dual capability of obtaining data from standardized cell tests as well as high frequency cell tests is fascinating and intriguing. As this capability holds the possibility of reducing cost otherwise spent on man hours and equipment which are both paramount in any industrially automated process.

▼ In this thesis the development of the state of health of Li-ion battery cells under possible real-life operating conditions in electric cars has been characterised. Furthermore, a practical circuit-based model for Li-ion cells has been developed that is capable of modelling the cell voltage behaviour under various operating conditions. The Li-ion cell model can be implemented in simulation programs and be directly connected to a model of the rest of the electronic system in electric vehicles. Most existing battery models are impractical for electric vehicle system designers and require extensive background knowledge of electrochemistry to be implemented. Furthermore, many models do not take the effect of regenerative braking into account and are obtained from testing fully charged cells. However, in real-life applications electric vehicles are not always fully charged and utilise regenerative braking to save energy. To obtain a practical circuit model based on real operating conditions and to model the state of health of electric vehicle cells, numerous 18650 size LiFePO4 cells have been tested under possible operating conditions. Capacity fading was chosen as the state of health parameter, and the capacity fading of different cells was compared with the charge processed instead of cycles. Tests have shown that the capacity fading rate is dependent on temperature, charging C-rate, state of charge and depth of discharge. The obtained circuit model is capable of simulating the voltage behaviour under various temperatures and C-rates with a maximum error of 14mV. However, modelling the effect of different temperatures and C-rates increases the complexity of the model. The model is easily adjustable and the choice is given to the electric vehicle system designer to decide which operating conditions to take into account. By combining the test results for the capacity fading and the proposed circuit model, recommendations to optimise the battery lifetime are proposed. Advisors/Committee Members: Bauer, P..
