This The Ev Industry Playbook eBook from 3D-LABS is written for engineers and students who want a clear, practical reference they can apply immediately.
Lithium-Ion Cell Chemistry — What Engineers Need to Know covers NMC, LFP, NCA, LTO, and solid-state cell chemistries with degradation mechanisms, rate capability, thermal runaway conditions, and cell selection criteria.
What standards does this book reference?
IEC 62660-1:2018 (EV cell performance), IEC 62660-2:2011 (reliability and abuse), UL 1642 (lithium battery safety), and IS 16046 Part 1:2018 (Indian secondary lithium cells standard).
What is the Peukert capacity and cycle degradation formula?
Peukert: C_n = I^k * t, k = 1.05-1.15 for Li-ion. SOC = Q_remaining/C_n * 100%. Cycle degradation: C_n(N) = C_n0*(1-alpha*N^beta). NMC 811 at 1C/25 degrees C: alpha approximately 0.00012, beta approximately 0.8.
What thermal runaway data is provided per chemistry?
Onset temperatures: NMC 532 = 170 degrees C, LFP = 270 degrees C, NCA = 150 degrees C. Peak NMC: 600-900 degrees C. Gas species: CO, CO2, HF. IEC 62660-2 Clause 8.3 overcharge test and UL 9540A propagation prevention design.
