The ESC Lab contributed four presentations to the 249th ECS Meeting in Seattle, spanning electrode-resolved impedance, thermal-runaway forecasting, microscopy-informed interphase modeling, lithium plating, and realistic 4680-cell duty cycles.
FOUR PRESENTATIONS · ONE CROSS-SCALE BATTERY-SAFETY PROGRAM
Electrode-resolved impedance and thermal-runaway risk
Electrode-Resolved Impedance and Thermal Runaway Risk Prediction via Experimental and Physics-Informed Transformer Model
Authors: S. R. Amini Niaki, Y. Abdisobbouhi, Q. Alahmad, T. A. Kingston, and V. R. Yurkiv · Abstract A01-0126
The work combines experimentally validated 4680-cell impedance measurements, electrochemical–thermal modeling, and a physics-informed Transformer to turn full-cell EIS into electrode-level indicators of degradation and thermal-runaway risk.
Microscopy-to-multiphysics modeling of the SEI
Transformer-Enabled HAADF-STEM Quantification of SEI Grain Boundaries for Safety-Relevant Multiphysics Modeling of Li-Ion Batteries
Authors: I. Z. Borshon, T. A. Kingston, R. Shahbazian-Yassar, and V. R. Yurkiv · Abstract A03-0354
This presentation connects Transformer-based analysis of atomic-resolution microscopy with quantitative grain-boundary descriptors and cell-scale multiphysics models.
Lithium plating in commercial 4680 cells
Lithium-Plating Behavior in Commercial 4680 Cylindrical Cells during Low-Temperature Charging
Authors: Y. Abdisobbouhi, Q. Alahmad, T. A. Kingston, and V. R. Yurkiv · Abstract A01-0095
Experiments at sub-zero temperature combine infrared thermography, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, distribution of relaxation times, and electro-thermal modeling to resolve lithium-plating behavior during cold charging.
Realistic EV duty and long-term 4680-cell behavior
Evaluating 4680 Cylindrical Cells for Sustainable EV Duty: Multi-Cycle Testing and Electro-Thermal Modeling
Authors: T. B. Zeman, Y. Abdisobbouhi, Q. Alahmad, T. A. Kingston, and V. R. Yurkiv · Abstract A02-0163
The study links repeated city and highway drive-cycle experiments to electro-thermal models, internal temperature gradients, degradation, and charging-control decisions for large-format commercial cells.
