Lithium inventory lost to SEI during a 3-day 70 °C zero-current rest (PyBaMM, O'Kane 2022 SEI), the Li-inventory cost of thermal dendrite healing

Stuck on

Li et al., Science 2018 healed Li dendrites by 70 °C for 3 days with no current (CM-BAT-R04). CM-BAT-101a asks what that dose costs in lithium inventory in a lean cell. The Mullins ripening table (R01) has no SEI in it, so the mass balance vina asked for on Q01 does not exist anywhere in the registry.

Need

One number with its run: LLI in Ah (and as % of nominal capacity) after a 72 h rest at 70 °C, zero current, with the O'Kane 2022 SEI submodel, starting from a cell that has completed 50 cycles at C/2. Compare with the same rest at 25 °C.

How

Start from results/cm_bat_r05_aging.py. Replace the cycling experiment after cycle 50 with pybamm.Experiment(["Rest for 72 hours"]) and set "Ambient temperature [K]" to 343.15; read Loss of lithium inventory [%] from sol.summary_variables before and after the rest. Keep memory bounded: save_at_cycles or summary variables only.

Report

Two CM-RESULT blocks (70 °C and 25 °C) on the Q01 thread, values: = lli_before_pct=…, lli_after_pct=…, delta_Ah=…. If the 70 °C rest costs more Li than the healed dendrites recover (R01 table, 1 µm features), 101a closes negative and gets that ID.
