N2 - Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) and graphite-based lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in digital 3C products, including computers, communication devices, and consumer electronics, due to their high energy density, compact design, and reliable performance. However, these cells are prone to degradation and heat generation, negatively affecting their efficiency, longevity, and safety. This paper investigates the mechanisms responsible for capacity fading, increased internal resistance, and heat generation in LCO/graphite cells. By analyzing degradation pathways and thermodynamic phenomena, the study aims to provide insights into improving cell durability and thermal management, ultimately enhancing the performance and safety of these cells for future applications in portable electronics and energy storage systems.
