Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a non-destructive technique for characterizing the battery behavior for estimating the state of health (SOH). EIS provides frequency-domain information on key parameters, including solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) resistance, charge-transfer (CT) resistance, and ohmic resistance, which are sensitive to battery degradation mechanisms. In an EIS test, a sinusoidal excitation signal is applied to the battery, and the corresponding voltage response is analyzed to extract the impedance spectrum. The reliability of SOH estimation therefore depends critically on the accurate and repeatable extraction of impedance features. This paper investigates the variability in impedance spectra arising from the state of charge (SOC), temperature, rest time, and repeated measurements under nominally identical conditions. This variability is identified as drift and represents previously underexplored variations in the impedance spectrum. To quantify these variations, this work proposes a normalized resistance-based index that captures changes in the impedance spectrum using estimated equivalent circuit model (ECM) parameters. The proposed index is applicable across battery chemistries, sizes, and operating conditions. It is evaluated using published datasets spanning different chemistries, SOC levels, and temperatures, as well as laboratory data collected from repeated EIS experiments. The results show that even at fixed SOC and temperature, repeated measurements can produce measurable bias and variance in ECM parameters. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for drift in EIS analysis and motivate uncertainty-aware battery diagnostics for practical SOH monitoring systems.
