ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: State determination of Li-ion cells is often accomplished with Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The measurement results are in frequency domain and used to describe the state of a Li-ion cell by parameterizing impedance-based models. Since EIS is a costly measurement method, an alternative method for the parameterization of impedance-based models with time-domain data easier to record is presented in this work. For this purpose the model equations from the impedance-based models are transformed from frequency domain into time domain. As an excitation signal a current step is applied. The resulting voltage step responses are the model equations in time domain. They are presented for lumped and derived for distributed electrical circuit elements, i.e. Warburg impedance, Constant Phase Element and RCPE. A resulting technique is the determination of the inner resistance from an impedance spectrum which is performed on measurement data.
