Abstract: Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) plays a crucial role in characterizing the internal electrochemical states of lithium-ion batteries and proves to be effective for estimating battery states. Traditional EIS measurement, however, requires expensive electrochemical workstations with time-consuming signal injection, especially in low-frequency regions, thus limiting its practical applications. Here we show that applying our proposed pulse-like Binary Multi-Frequency Signals (BMFS) as the excitation signal in the EIS measurement, which simultaneously possesses numerous frequency components and maintains high energy at each frequency component, will significantly improve test speed while retaining accuracy. The applicability of the BMFS under various cathode material types, including nickel cobalt manganese (NCM), lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is demonstrated. The robustness of the signal is experimentally verified through varying C-rates and measurement window lengths. The BMFS, requiring only 30 s per test, can achieve test results with an amplitude error of 1% and a phase error of 1° as compared with those obtained from traditional EIS tests. Moreover, BMFS can also be applied in online EIS measurement scenarios, favorable for real-world applications. This work enables accurate and rapid acquisition of EIS results, which is currently expensive and time-consuming to obtain, ensuring a faster and more nuanced characterization of the internal states of many battery systems in an affordable and accessible manner, especially in data-driven and machine-learning approaches.
