Stress - damage matrix

 

Cross matrix: Stress factors x Damage mechanisms

 

Corrosion of the positive grid

Sulphation

Shedding

Loss of water

AM degradation
(loss of charged active material surface)

Temperature

Strong impact, positive correlation

high temperature has negative impact at low SOC

high temperature has positive impact during full charging

no direct impact

increasing with increasing temperature

low impact with high temperature on neg. electrode expanders

Depth of discharge

no direct impact

no direct impact

strong impact

no impact

direct impact

Acid stratification

Impact through low acid concentration in upper part of electrode

strong impact through inhomogenous current dustribution and local SOC

indirect through increase gassing

indirect through strong sulphation in the lower part if the electrode

indirect through extended charging periods at high voltage

impact through inhomogenous current distribution and SOC

Discharge rate

Indirect through positve electrode potential

high discharge rate create many and small sulphate crystals

inhomogenous current disctribution causes inh. SOC

probably increased shedding due to high DOD on outer arra of active material [pasted plates]

none

increases inner resistance due to AOS-model (agglomerate of sphere)

Charge rate

Indirect through positve electrode potential

no impact

no impact

indirect through higher voltage & higher temperature

positve impact through smaller crystals

Time at low states of charge

Indirect through low acid concentration and low potentials

strong impact

no direct impact

none

None

Cycle duration

no direct impact

strong impact

no direct impact

no direct impact

None

Voltage

High impact according to corrosion rate as a function of potential

positive impact at high voltages

no direct impact

no direct impact

strong impact during voltage reversal (mainly neg. Electrode)

Acid concentration

Strong impact

low concentration --> high corrosion

strong impact

low concentration --> high solubility of Pb2+

no direct impact

no direct impact

no direct impact

Ah throughput
(overall charge transfer)

no impact

no direct impact

impact through  mechanical stress

no direct impact

loss of active material structure, larger crystals

Ripple current (f > 1 Hz), without zero-line crossing of current

Impact through potential variations (depends on frequency)

no impact

no direct impact

some impact at high states of charge

indirect through higher temperature

Partial cycles (f > 1 Hz)

Impact through potential variations (depends on frequency)

increase size of sulphate crystals

no direct impact

no impact

Gas evolution rate

no impact

indirect through reduced charge efficiency

strong impact

strong impact

no direct impact

Reverse charging

no significant impact

indirect 

very strong mechanical stress

small impact

strong loss of negative material structure through loss of expanders

Charge factor

no direct impact

positive impact through regimes with high charge factor

strong impact through gassing

strong impact

no direct impact
