With widespread applications for lithium-ion batteries in energy storage systems, the performance degradation of the battery attracts more and more attention.
Retired LIBs from EVs could be given a second-life in applications requiring lower power or lower specific energy. As early as 1998, researchers began to consider the technical feasibility of second-life traction batteries in stationary energy storage applications [10], [11].With the shift towards LIBs, second life applications have been identified as a potential
Similarly, in battery energy storage systems (BESS), battery degradation can limit the amount of energy that can be stored and delivered, impacting the overall efficiency of the system.
To complicate matters, Li-ion batteries can experience different degradation trajectories that depend on storage and cycling history of the application environment. Rates of degradation
Approximately 80 % of the world''s energy supply is derived from fossil fuels, including coal, oil, and natural gas. The combustion of these fuels is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), especially carbon dioxide (CO2), a significant driver of climate change [1] response, there has been a collaborative global effort to increase the utilization
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are promising candidates for building grid-level storage systems because of their high energy and power density, low discharge rate, and decreasing cost.
CATL is the world''s largest lithium-ion battery manufacturer and a major player in BESS too, and made headlines earlier this year when it claimed five years of ''zero degradation'' for its new grid-scale product Tener. The
The expansion of lithium-ion batteries from consumer electronics to larger-scale transport and energy storage applications has made understanding the many mechanisms responsible for battery degradation increasingly important.
On average, in 2024, batteries discharged up to 18% of their full energy capacity before charging. Between 2020 and 2022, batteries only discharged up to 8% of their full
But energy storage costs are added to the microgrid costs, and energy storage size must be determined in a way that minimizes the total operating costs and energy storage costs. This paper presents a new method for determining the optimal size of the battery energy storage by considering the process of battery capacity degradation.

To bridge the gaps in the field of battery degradation, this paper will provide a comprehensive review for the degradation factors, aging mechanisms, and the data
The key degradation factors of lithium-ion batteries such as electrolyte breakdown, cycling, temperature, calendar aging, and depth of discharge are thoroughly discussed.

Authors have claimed that the degradation mechanism of lithium-ion batteries affected anode, cathode and other battery structures, which are influenced by some external factors such as temperature. However, the effect of battery degradation on EV and energy storage system has not been taken into consideration.
Given that batteries degrade with use and storage, predictive models of battery lifetime must consider the variety of electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical degradation modes, such as temperature, operating windows, charge/discharge rates, storage environment, and cycling patterns.
To complicate matters, Li-ion batteries can experience different degradation trajectories that depend on storage and cycling history of the application environment. Rates of degradation are controlled by factors such as temperature history, electrochemical operating window, and charge/discharge rate.
