Abstract: Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), crucial in modern advanced energy storage systems, inherently experience several side reactions during operation, with the formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and lithium plating being the most significant. These side reactions, which deplete lithium ions and lead to the clogging of negative electrode pores, considerably impair the battery's cycle life and overall performance. This study introduces a numerical model for the battery aging process, grounded in existing research on SEI formation and its temperature-dependent aging kinetics. The model aims to elucidate how variations in the porosity of the negative electrode impact the battery's cycle life. The study initially focuses on analyzing the principal mechanisms behind pore clogging in LIBs' negative electrodes following extensive charge/discharge cycles. Subsequently, the study conducts numerical simulations to thoroughly investigate the effects of various non-uniform porosity structures in the negative electrode, encompassing both linear and gradient configurations, on the battery's cycle life. Additionally, the investigation conducts a comparative analysis to determine how different gradients in porosity structures influence pore clogging. It also delves into a detailed exploration of heat generation associated with the linear porosity structure of the negative electrode. The results indicate that the accumulation of the SEI layer significantly reduces porosity. This reduction, in turn, affects the conductivity and alters the current density during the SEI reaction. Notably, the linear porosity structure exhibits a significant advantage over traditional structures, especially in terms of reducing pore clogging and minimizing irreversible heat generation. In summary, this study presents a multi-physics and detailed numerical model to evaluate the impact of variations in negative electrode porosity on the cycle life of LIBs. Furthermore, it provides essential theoretical support for battery design and performance optimization, particularly in the determination of pore structures and material selection.
