Paul, The Third header in the article reads: "Self-Discharge Phenomena in Lithium-ion batteries"
Here is another article modeling the self-discharge as well as the capacity loss of Li-Ion batteries: http://www.juliandehoog.com/publications/2013_TENCON_ModelingSelfDischarge.pdf Just to clarify, here an important quote from it: "Cells have been shown to lose a certain amount of charge during storage through so-called leakage currents of two different kinds [4]. The first type of leakage current occurs due to reversible lithium-consuming reactions in the electrolyte, which reduces the stored charge but not the capacity of the cell. The second type of leakage current occurs due to irreversible lithium-consuming reactions in the electrodes, which reduces not only the stored charge but also the capacity of the cell."
