Cathode degradation during the charge and discharge process is inevitable due to phase transformations during the de-/lithiation process. Various factors such as temperature, cut-off voltage, and current rates tend to cause irreversibility in the phase transformations during cycling, resulting in the quick aging of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicle applications. This study aims to evaluate the trends of the lithium-ion diffusion coefficient as a function of the lithium-ion concentration and potential in the lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) cathode of the VTC5 lithium-ion cell through measurements by the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT). The lithium-ion cell has shown the lowest diffusion coefficient value of 1.08E⁻¹⁷ m² s⁻¹ at 0.2C rate at 25 °C temperature and the highest diffusion coefficient of 7.2829E⁻¹⁶ m² s⁻¹ at the lowest current rate of 0.05C rate and 45 °C temperature during discharging. The trend of diffusion coefficient values for lithium de-/intercalation with changing temperature and current rates is investigated and correlated with the phase transformations in the structure of the cathode and is indicative of a mixed-phase reaction mechanism. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data reinforces the dependence on lithium-ion diffusion on temperature, and voltage values and is supported by comparative analysis.
