Aging mechanisms, prognostics and management for lithium-ion batteries: Recent advances

In the rapidly evolving landscape of energy storage, lithium-ion batteries stand at the forefront, powering a vast array of devices from mobile phones to electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. Despite their widespread adoption, inconsistencies in production processes, cell grouping, and thermal management lead to parameter variations such as voltage, temperature, and current, elevating the risks of overcharging, over-discharging, and accelerated degradation. Hence, it is imperative to explore the complete lifecycle degradation mechanisms, along with the health prediction and management of lithium-ion batteries. This exploration is vital for their further advancement and innovation. Additionally, this research promises to yield innovative methodologies and insights for depicting aging behaviors and managing the health of diverse mechanical, electrical, or physical systems that exhibit similar characteristics of aging. This work offers a comprehensive review and analysis of the most recent developments in the aging mechanisms, health prognostics, and management strategies specific to lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, it introduces fresh perspectives and approaches for the prediction and management of battery health, thereby extending its utility and providing valuable guidelines for the health management of systems analogous in nature.
