Degradation mechanisms analysis.

Enable engineers to gain a better understanding of cell durability by providing keys to understanding degradation mechanisms and how to analyze them qualitatively and quantitatively, in particular through the application of derivative methods (ICA, DVA). 

1- Reminder of degradation mechanisms: symptoms, impacts, origins

2- Coulombic efficiency analysis: metrology required, half-cell and full-cell cases.

3- Analysis using differential voltage analysis (DVA) and incremental capacity analysis (ICA).

Good understanding of how a Li-ion cell works. Hands-on experience in electrode implementation and characterization.
