Eliminating the metal enclosure reduces weight but the cell needs some alternative support in the battery compartment. Ding and david j. Siegel a z anna g. Dahn is the principle battery.

Expansion of lithium ion pouch cell batteries. Observations from neutron imaging article siegel2013expansionol title expansion of lithium ion pouch cell batteries. Types of battery cells the authour said this the 18650 has a higher energy density than a prismatic pouch li ion cell. In this paper the electrode expansion is quantified from in situ neutron images taken during cycling of pouch cells with lithium iron phosphate positive and graphite negative electrodes.

Jeff dahn one of the leading battery researchers in the world says he and his team have devised new lithium ion pouch cells that outperform solid state batteries. The pouch cell makes the most efficient use of space and achieves a 90 to 95 percent packaging efficiency the highest among battery packs. Without them today s mobile phones mp3 players notebooks and electric vehicles would be unthinkable. Gorsich journal journal of the electrochemical society year.

The pouch cell is packaged in aluminum plastic film. Pouch cell weight is 40 lighter than steel shell lithium battery of the same capacity 20 lighter than aluminum shell lithium battery. But how do they work. Request pdf expansion of lithium ion pouch cell batteries.

Rather than using a metallic cylinder and glass to metal electrical feed through for insulation conductive foil tabs welded to the electrode and sealed to the pouch carry the positive and negative terminals to the outside. The 3ah 18650 delivers 248wh kg whereas a modern pouch cell has about 140ah kg this might be a typo as the energy density is measured in 2 units in the quote wh kg and ah kg. When a safety problem occurs the pouch cell will generally be blown apart unlike the steel shell or the aluminum shell. The expansion of battery material during lithium intercalation is a concern for the cycle life and performance of lithium ion batteries.
