In order to increase the adoption of batteries for sustainable transport and energy storage, improved charging and discharging capabilities of lithium-ion batteries are necessary. To achieve this, accurate data that describe the internal state of the cells are essential. Several models have been derived, and transport coefficients have been reported for use in these models. We report for the first time a complete set of transport coefficients to model the concentration and temperature polarization in a lithium-ion battery ternary electrolyte, allowing us to test common assumptions. We include effects due to gradients in chemical potentials and in temperature. We find that the voltage contributions due to salt and solvent polarization are of the same order of magnitude as the ohmic loss and must be taken into account for more accurate modeling and understanding of battery performance. We report new Soret and Seebeck coefficients and find thermal polarization to be significant in cases relevant to battery research. The analysis is suitable for electrochemical systems, in general.
