Lithium-ion secondary batteries are essential for utilization of renewable energy and other forms of clean energy. As such, the use of lithium-ion secondary batteries is spreading against a backdrop of expected application of batteries in environmental conservation. On the other hand, two issues have emerged as lithium-ion secondary batteries have come to be produced and consumed in large quantities. The first issue is a concern that lithium-ion secondary battery materials will be depleted. Accordingly, there is a need for batteries to be reused. The other issue is that there is a need to improve battery safety concerning fire when lithium-ion secondary batteries are used on a large scale. It is necessary to first grasp the characteristics and degradation state of the batteries to be able to respond to these issues. However, if we don't know the characteristics and state of the battery, we cannot be sure of their current value or potential risk. Accordingly, Murata developed technology to diagnose the contents of the battery. With this technology, we want to build a future in which it is possible to use energy safely for a long time.

About Lithium-ion secondary battery characterization and degradation diagnosis technology

The Lithium-ion secondary battery characterization and degradation diagnosis technology is a solution to be able to non-destructively diagnose the deterioration and resistance increase factors of lithium-ion secondary batteries, and simulate the battery characteristics. This is achieved by connecting a high-speed diagnostic logger between the charger and battery and then charging the battery. It is possible to accurately grasp the current state of lithium ion secondary batteries in a short time by using this technology.

Features of Lithium-ion secondary battery characterization and degradation diagnosis solution

Feature01The technology contributes to the development of highly reliable products.

Murata Manufacturing can separately diagnose positive and negative electrode materials by measuring and analyzing the changes in the voltage of a battery while it is being charged. This allows us to determine whether the deterioration is safe or unsafe from the state of the positive and negative electrode materials of the battery. We can then grasp the safety of the battery. This leads to the development of highly reliable products.

image of graph It is possible to judge whether the deterioration is safe or unsafe by separately diagnosing the positive and negative electrodes. We can then grasp the safety of the battery.

Feature02It is possible to easily introduce the technology at low cost.

We can acquire all the data necessary for the analysis and diagnosis just by connecting a high-speed diagnostic logger between the battery and charger. This enables installation, measurement and analysis simple and inexpensive. Moreover, measurements are completed in a short time.

The diagnostic logger is connected between the battery and charger to acquire and analyze the data.

Feature03No battery expertise is needed.

You can see the graphical visualizations of diagnosis data diagnostic data and analysis simulations on the cloud service provided by Murata Manufacturing. Moreover, Murata Manufacturing staff will provide you with an explanation of the analysis results and information such as the possible deterioration factors from the analysis data at your request. Therefore, you can utilize this technology even if you have no battery expertise.

Areas of utilization for the Lithium-ion secondary battery characterization and degradation diagnosis solution

  • image of analysis

    Battery evaluation

    Providing battery analysis solutions with a low burden in terms of money, time, and knowledge to those who don't know how to evaluate batteries, those who want to evaluate lithium ion secondary batteries at low cost, and others with similar issues can be useful in the development of new products.

    Battery exhaustion prevention

    The travelable distance display may stop being accurate due to battery deterioration in electric vehicles and electric motorcycles, which may lead to unexpected battery exhaustion. It is possible to accurately grasp the battery state by utilizing the battery characterization and degradation diagnosis solution. Therefore, we believe that this will lead to a solution to this issue.

    Setting appropriate purchase and sales prices for used electric vehicles

    The price of a used electric vehicle is affected more by the deterioration state of the battery than the distance it has traveled. In other words, if it is possible to grasp the battery deterioration state of electric vehicles and electric motorcycles, it becomes possible to assess the appropriate purchase price and to present an appropriate sales price. We would like to increase the reliability of electric vehicles through the indication of appropriate prices.
