Understanding Self-Discharge in Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Deep Dive
Lithium-ion batteries, despite their high energy density, exhibit a gradual loss of charge even when not in use. This phenomenon, known as self-discharge, significantly impacts battery lifespan and performance. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of self-discharge is crucial for optimizing battery design and maximizing operational life. Defining Self-Discharge Self-discharge refers to the spontaneous loss of battery […]
