Lithium plating

Lithium metal depositing on the negative-electrode surface instead of intercalating into it. It is promoted by charging at low temperature or high current.

Multistage constant-current charging

A charge protocol with a sequence of constant-current stages, often reducing current as the cell fills. Stage transitions follow selected time, voltage, state-of-charge or other limits. Charging time and lithium-plating risk depend on the cell and control conditions; a staged profile alone does not establish an improvement.

Non-linear voltammetry charging

A fast-charging protocol from Rachid Yazami’s group in Singapore that never imposes a fixed current: the charger applies a rising series of short constant-voltage steps separated by brief rests, and the cell draws whatever current it accepts. Each step’s current decay decides when to move on; the developers report full charges in as little as 10 minutes.

Smart charging

Controlling when and how fast vehicles charge to fit grid capacity, electricity prices and departure times, rather than charging at full power on arrival. A depot of buses uses it to stay within its grid connection; homes use it to charge on cheap night tariffs.

State of health

A summary of how far a cell has aged, often expressed through remaining capacity or increased resistance compared with when it was new. By convention a cell has reached end of life at 80 % of its rated capacity.

Storage state of charge

The state of charge at which a cell is kept when idle. Calendar aging rises with SOC because the negative electrode sits at a lower, more reactive potential, so cells are shipped and stored at 30–50 % rather than full.
