Abstract: Uncertainty quantification in LIB manufacturing has received interest in order to improve the reliability of LIB. The uncertainty generated during the manufacturing causes variations in the performance of LIBs, thereby increasing capacity degradation and leading to failure. In this study, a reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) of LIBs is conducted to reduce performance failure while maximizing the specific energy. The design variables with uncertainty are the thickness, porosity, and particle size of the anode and cathode. The specific energy is defined as the objective function in the optimization design problem. To maintain the specific power in the initial design of the LIB, it is defined as the constraint function. Reliability is evaluated as the probability that the battery satisfies the performance of the required design. The results indicate that the design optimized through RBDO increases the specific energy by 42.4% in comparison with that of the initial design while reducing the failure rate to 1.53%. Unlike the conventional deterministic design optimization method (DDO), which exhibits 55.09% reliability, the proposed RBDO method ensures 98.47% reliability. It is shown that the proposed RBDO approach is an effective design method to reduce the failure rate while maximizing the specific energy.
