This review systematically examines the integration of Digital Twin (DT) technology with lithium-ion battery health prognosis systems. As electrification accelerates across multiple domains, accurate prediction of battery health indicators – including State of Charge (SOC), State of Health (SOH), Remaining Useful Life (RUL), and fault conditions – becomes increasingly critical for ensuring safety, reliability, and optimal performance. The core contribution of this review lies in proposing a novel four-layer conceptual framework, comprising the Physical, Data & Communication, Virtual Model, and Twin Service layers, as an analytical tool for structuring the field. After establishing the theoretical foundations of DTs and battery aging, we leverage this framework to systematically survey recent advancements in data augmentation, online state estimation, and fault diagnosis. Through this structured analysis, we then identify critical implementation challenges, including performance in extreme degradation phases, battery pack inconsistencies, and operation under complex conditions. We conclude by proposing future research directions focused on enhancing model generalization and creating standardized architectures through the integration of cloud computing and IoT technologies, and applying federated learning to solve potential privacy and security problems. This review serves as a critical reference by providing a structured, application-centric understanding of DTs in battery health management.

The cobalt-free LiNiO2 (LNO) cathode, composed solely of transition metal nickel, stands out as a prime candidate for next-generation commercial cathodes, offering an exceptional theoretical capacity of 275 mAh/g, cost efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Unlike LiNixMnyCo2O2 (NMC) counterparts, LiNiO2 (LNO) cathode is plagued by rapid capacity degradation and safety risks due to absence of Co/Mn, which act as structural stabilizers ('rivets') in transition metal layer. This deficiency induces severe anisotropic lattice distortion and multi-phase transitions during charge/discharge cycles. These distortions are exacerbated at elevated temperatures (>45 °C) and at high de-lithiation state with initial discharge capacities exceeding 230 mAh/g. To mitigate these issues, we introduced a high-entropy engineering approach for LNO, exemplified by LiNi0.98Mo0.005Nb0.005Ti0.005Mg0.005O2 (LNO-2 %HE). In situ XRD, synchrotron XAS and ex situ analyses reveal that the compositional complexity of LNO-2 %HE enhances structural disorder and amorphous character, which suppresses high-voltage phase transition. This design achieves 96.1 % capacity retention over 100 cycles at 25 °C and 97.5 % retention after 50 cycles at 45 °C, alongside an initial discharge capacity of 238 mAh/g at 0.1C. Furthermore, improved lattice oxygen stability in LNO-2 %HE inhibits oxygen release during thermal phase transitions, significantly enhancing safety. This strategy advances the viability of LNO cathode for high-energy-density batteries.

The resource recycling of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can significantly reduce the carbon emission, which has received unprecedented attention from both the academic and industrial communities. However, the large consumption of valuable materials (e.g., Li, Co, Ni, Mn, graphite) for LIBs not only intensifies the pressure on global resource supply, but also raises the carbon footprint of the industry. Herein, this review systematically analyses the LIBs industry from the aspects of resource supply and resource cycle, in combination with the carbon emission reduction analyzation of LIBs industry. By analyzing the development status of LIBs materials, the resource composition and critical metals are clearly clarified. With LIBs demand increasing, the resource criticality, primary and secondary resource supply are deeply evaluated where Li and Co supply face enormous challenges. The recycling of spent LIBs gives an effective way for resource utilization and circulation. The carbon emission intensity of the whole LIBs industrial chain is discussed from the perspective of resource supply, utilization, and balance, where the carbon emission reduction mainly relies on the use of low-carbon energy and the recycling/reproduction processes. This critical review revealed that resource sustainability and carbon neutralization are an inseparable system, and can give guidance to the development of LIBs materials to ensure the sustainable development of resources in the future.

The structural integrity of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) under dynamic loading is critical to their safe deployment in electric transportation systems. While dry-state testing of battery components is common, the influence of liquid electrolyte on battery failure under dynamic loading remains largely unexplored. This study investigates the out-of-plane compressive behavior of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pouch cells in both dry and electrolyte-saturated states across a wide range of strain rates (0.005/s to 2000/s), using quasi-static and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) tests. High-speed imaging and transparent cell designs enabled real-time visualization of electrolyte migration and structural deformation. The results show that, although electrolyte presence has little effect under quasi-static loading, it significantly lowers peak stress, strain, and stiffness at elevated strain rates. Microscopy reveals that confined electrolyte flow induces internal pore pressure, accelerates microcrack initiation in separators and electrode coatings. A mechanistic framework is proposed to explain how fluid–solid interactions degrade structural integrity at high rates. The findings demonstrate that dry-state testing overestimates battery resilience under impact and highlight the need to account for electrolyte effects in crash safety assessments. This work provides new insights into battery failure mechanisms relevant to electric mobility and supports the development of impact-tolerant energy storage systems and more comprehensive testing protocols for crashworthiness analysis.

In conventional lithium-ion battery packs, adjacent cells are interconnected through series-parallel arrangements, where thermal runaway in a single cell can trigger cascading thermal propagation, leading to catastrophic thermal events. To address this issue, we propose a novel chessboard-inspired battery pack featuring two interdigitated cell groups with alternating state-of-charge (SOC) distribution. During operation, the sequential discharge of these groups creates spatial SOC differentiation. Each high-SOC cell is strategically surrounded by lower-SOC neighbors that serve as inherent thermal buffers. A comparative safety analysis was conducted between conventional and chessboard-inspired pack configurations using a validated thermal runaway propagation model. Simulation results reveal that only the chessboard architecture successfully inhibits the thermal runaway propagation in the 75 %-SOC battery pack. The 50 %-SOC cells surrounding thermal failed cell unit increase the thermal propagation threshold by 22 °C compared to conventional packs with 75 %-SOC cells. In addition, energy flow analysis indicates that the specialized tab design redirects approximately 10 % of the energy released during thermal runaway to non-adjacent cells. This redistribution further increases the required energy release from the initial thermal runaway cell to trigger propagation. Through the integration of geometric layout and operational strategies, the chessboard-inspired configuration demonstrates strong potential for practical applications in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, offering a promising pathway for advancing passive safety technologies in battery system design.

External pressure significantly influences the thermal runaway (TR) behavior of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the underlying mechanisms by which external pressure affects exothermic reactions, heat transfer, and gas generation during TR remain to be fully clarified. In this study, the mechanistic effects of external pressure on TR in prismatic lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries were systematically investigated through thermal analysis, time-resolved gas chromatography, and postmortem material characterization. Results indicate that external pressures of 0.1 and 0.2 MPa enhance interfacial contact within the battery, thereby increasing internal thermal conductivity. This improvement results in a more uniform temperature distribution, which raises the TR initiation temperature and shifts the initial TR location inward from the battery edge toward the center. However, external pressure accelerates thermal runaway propagation (TRP), with propagation speed at 0.2 MPa increasing by approximately 65 % compared to 0 MPa. Moreover, gas evolution analysis reveals a substantial reduction in total gas yield with increasing external pressure, exhibiting decreases of about 28 % at 0.1 MPa and 53 % at 0.2 MPa relative to 0 MPa. This reduction is primarily attributed to earlier safety venting and prolonged electrolyte evaporation periods. Postmortem characterization highlights intensified exothermic reactions under elevated external pressure, reflecting deeper electrode material degradation. These findings highlight the risk-mitigation effect of external pressure, thereby lowering explosion risk despite the acceleration of TRP, and inform the design and modeling of safer battery systems under realistic mechanical constraints.

The open-circuit voltage (OCV) hysteresis effect significantly complicates state-of-charge (SOC) estimation of batteries. While prior research has focused on major-loop hysteresis between full charge and discharge, accurately modeling minor-loop hysteresis during partial charge/discharge remains a persistent challenge. This paper proposes a data-driven hysteresis model that incorporates historical SOC and temperature data, with which an adaptive SOC estimator is designed to accommodate slope variations in minor-loop hysteresis. The proposed model accurately captures complex voltage hysteresis across different charge/discharge paths and temperature conditions using deep long short-term memory neural networks trained on hysteresis test data. This OCV component is integrated into a second-order equivalent circuit model, achieving both high-precision battery modeling and computational efficiency. The model parameters are optimized effectively using a multistep parameter identification method enhanced by a meta-heuristic algorithm. The proposed SOC estimator dynamically adjusts its covariance matrices in response to voltage slope variations during the plateau, improving Kalman gain matching to eliminate cumulative errors and enhance accuracy. Extensive experimental results show that over 95% of samples achieve a mean absolute error of less than 0.56% across various usage scenarios. The proposed method outperforms two state-of-the-art methods by 46.2% and 45.7% in root mean square error, demonstrating fast convergence and robust estimation even within the voltage plateau.

The Doyle–Fuller–Newman (DFN) model is a common mechanistic model for lithium-ion batteries. The reaction rate constant and diffusivity are key parameters that directly affect the movement of lithium ions, thereby offering explanations for cell aging. This work investigates the ability to uniquely estimate each electrode’s diffusion coefficients and reaction rate constants of 95 T Model 3 cells with a nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) cathode and silicon oxide–graphite (–) anode. The four parameters are estimated using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for a total of 7776 cycles at various discharge C-rates. While one or more anode parameters are uniquely identifiable over every cell’s lifetime, cathode parameters become identifiable at mid- to end-of-life, indicating measurable resistive growth in the cathode. The contribution of key parameters to the state of health (SOH) is expressed as a power law. This model for SOH shows a high consistency with the MCMC results performed over the overall lifespan of each cell. Our approach suggests that effective diagnosis of aging can be achieved by predicting the trajectories of the aging parameters. As such, extending our analysis with more physically accurate models building on DFN may lead to more identifiable parameters and further improved aging predictions.
Doyle-Fuller-Newman (DFN)模型是锂离子电池的常见机理模型。反应速率常数和扩散系数是直接影响锂离子运动的关键参数,从而为细胞老化提供了解释。本研究研究了95 T Model 3电池在镍钴铝氧化物(NCA)阴极和氧化硅-石墨(LiC6-SiOx)阳极下每个电极的扩散系数和反应速率常数的唯一估计能力。利用马尔科夫链蒙特卡罗(MCMC)估计了在不同放电c率下共7776个循环的四个参数。虽然一个或多个阳极参数在每个电池的使用寿命中都是唯一可识别的,但阴极参数在使用寿命中期到结束时才可识别,这表明阴极的电阻增长是可测量的。关键参数对健康状态(SOH)的贡献用幂律表示。该SOH模型与MCMC结果在每个细胞的整个生命周期内表现出高度一致性。我们的方法表明,可以通过预测衰老参数的轨迹来实现有效的衰老诊断。因此,在DFN上建立更精确的物理模型来扩展我们的分析可能会产生更多可识别的参数,并进一步改进老化预测。

As such, extending our analysis with more physically accurate models building on DFN may lead to more identifiable parameters and further improved aging predictions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36355,"journal":{"name":"Etransportation","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 100486"},"PeriodicalIF":17.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mobile Energy Storage (MES) has proven effective in integrating renewable energy and alleviating grid congestion due to its flexible deployment. However, in MES routing and Vehicle-to-Grid applications (such as energy arbitrage), the large-scale routing problem involving multiple vehicles and nodes encompasses high-dimensional spatiotemporal decision variables, making it challenging for general commercial solvers to solve efficiently. To address this challenge, we develop an improved time–space network-based model that uses feasible spatiotemporal arcs to represent the routing schemes for MES throughout the entire scheduling period. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive spatiotemporal clustering algorithm based on time–space network aggregation-split to solve the model quickly. In the aggregation phase, given the lower bound of cluster quantities, nodes with closely related spatiotemporal distances are clustered into one representative node. During the split phase, we design a spatiotemporal envelope method to identify nodes with potential arbitrage opportunities in each cluster and classify them into a separate cluster. We apply the proposed model and algorithm to the energy arbitrage of MES within the California power grid. The results reveal that, compared to the commercial solver, the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the average time overhead by 92.7%, while only sacrificing 0.9% in optimality in more than 300 daily scheduling cases.

In battery electric vehicles (BEV), energy originates in the battery and is transmitted to the wheels through a series of energy conversion processes involving the inverter and motor. Therefore, understanding the energy conversion mechanisms in both the inverter and motor is essential for accurately modeling energy consumption. However, in previous studies, real-world driving data are often limited, making it challenging to fully analyze the complex and nonlinear relationships within each conversion component. In this study, we collected input–output data from the inverters and motors of fifty-four BEVs, measured repeatedly over time. The data revealed a piecewise nonlinear relationship between input and output, prompting us to partition the models by different phases: propulsion, regeneration, and battery status. For each phase, we applied linear mixed-effects models to account for the hierarchical structure of the data, estimating coefficients separately for the inverter and motor using a randomly selected 75% of the dataset. Through this component-level modeling approach, the models not only capture component-level random-effect parameters but also effectively model the nonlinear energy conversion characteristics at the component level. The two models were then integrated to estimate the total driving energy consumption of the BEVs, and the results were validated against actual observations using the total driving energy from the remaining 25% of the dataset. Model performance was evaluated using the Total Consumption Estimation Rate (TCER) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The proposed model achieved at least 95.27% in TCER and 86.34% in MAPE, outperforming existing approaches with a 20% higher TCER and an MAPE approximately ten times lower on average. The comparison demonstrated that our model accurately estimates driving energy consumption, as it effectively captured the heterogeneous and nonlinear relationships between input and output energy for each component.
