Low-temperature batteries are designed to maintain performance in cold environments. In contrast, standard batteries often experience reduced capacity and efficiency in low temperatures.
However, faced with diverse scenarios and harsh working conditions (e.g., low temperature), the successful operation of batteries suffers great challenges. At low temperature, the increased viscosity of electrolyte leads to the poor wetting of batteries and sluggish transportation of Li-ion (Li +) in bulk electrolyte.
Low-temperature batteries may sacrifice some capacity or energy density to maintain performance in cold environments. In contrast, standard batteries typically offer higher capacity and energy density under normal operating conditions. Standard batteries may perform better in moderate temperatures but struggle in colder climates.
