Reference study summary

The challenge

Standard BMS reporting still suggests a healthy cell while lithium plating is already developing beneath the surface, invisible to coulomb counting.

The method

dQ/dV analysis reveals a progressive peak shift across cycles and marks the point where degradation stops looking routine and starts accelerating.

What it confirmed

Operators receive a cycle-specific degradation fingerprint they can act on before the safety and warranty picture worsens.

Methods used in this study

Savitzky-Golay noise filtering

Per-cycle dQ/dV peak extraction

Baseline comparison (Cycle 10 reference)

Degradation mode classification (LLI/LAM)

Dataset constraints

What made this dataset hard
to review well

0X01

Lithium plating invisible to standard BMS coulomb counting

0X02

No lab hardware available, so the review had to work from raw voltage and current CSV files

0X03

Need to separate degradation mode (LLI vs LAM) automatically at fleet scale

Analytical approach

How the review
was carried out

1

Review step

Gaussian noise removal + cubic spline interpolation for low-res data

2

Review step

Per-cycle dQ/dV electrochemical signature generation

3

Review step

Peak shift direction mapping to LLI, LAM-PE, or LAM-NE degradation modes

Study results

What this validation
confirmed

This public reference study confirmed the following signals and decision points in the dataset.

Identified the knee-point transition cycle (around Cycle 4000)
Separated SEI growth, expected aging, from lithium plating, an early fire precursor
Complete peak collapse detection at Cycle 7000, confirming irreversible failure

Turn this reference study into a scoped review

If the pattern looks familiar, start with a fixed-scope Verify review. That establishes the asset baseline before anyone decides whether Horizon belongs in the operating stack.
