Published 4 March 2014 • © 2014 The Electrochemical Society Journal of The Electrochemical Society , Volume 161 , Number 8 Citation Yiwei Tang et al 2014 J. Electrochem. Soc.161 E3021 The reaction current density is an important process parameter of lithium-ion battery, significantly influencing its electrochemical performance.

Do lithium ion batteries self-discharge?

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are the dominant electrochemical storage technology used in electric vehicles due to their high energy and power densities, as well as their long cycle life (Li et al., 2023). However, LiBs gradually self-discharge over time, which depends on temperature and state of charge (SoC).
