The power battery is one of the core components of an electric vehicle, and its performance directly impacts the overall performance of the vehicle. To ensure the driving and safety performance of electric vehicles, the lithium-ion batteries must be replaced after a certain mileage. In the battery industry, battery capacity is typically used as an indicator of whether a battery is ready for retirement. However, lithium-ion batteries experience continuous capacity decay during use. Therefore, researching and analyzing the mechanism of lithium-ion battery capacity decay is crucial.

[0039] A method for analyzing capacity decay in a three-electrode lithium-ion battery includes the following steps:
[0040] S1. Provides a three-electrode lithium-ion battery;
[0041] In this invention, the structure of the three-electrode lithium-ion battery is not specifically limited, as it can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. For example, the three-electrode lithium-ion battery can be a three-electrode battery disclosed in CN204130649U, including an upper cover, a lower cover that snaps onto the upper cover, and a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, an electrolyte, and a reference electrode disposed within the upper and lower covers, wherein the reference electrode is a micron-sized platinum or copper wire with a pre-plated lithium layer; the three-electrode lithium-ion battery can also be a three-electrode device for a lithium-ion battery disclosed in CN202949008U, where the length and width of the positive and negative electrodes are both 1–3 cm; the reference electrode is a lithium metal sheet with a diameter of 10–20 mm and a thickness of 0.2 cm; and the tabs of the positive, negative, and reference electrodes extend from different sides of the casing.

[0051] Preferably, the preset frequency is 10s-30s. If the preset frequency is too short, the data volume will be too large; if the preset frequency is too long, the phase transition process cannot be captured, and the analysis will be meaningless.
[0052] In this invention, the cyclic aging test can be a high-temperature accelerated cycle experiment or a high-rate charge-discharge cycle. It is understood that the cyclic aging test of this invention includes, but is not limited to, the test methods listed above, or other cyclic aging test methods not listed in this embodiment but well known to those skilled in the art.

Thus, the full battery voltage V... F Data, positive voltage V P Data and negative voltage V N The data can be obtained simultaneously.
[0054] It is understood that the electrodes of a three-electrode lithium-ion battery are the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the reference electrode.

F This refers to the voltage data between the positive and negative terminals; positive voltage V P This refers to the voltage data between the positive electrode and the reference electrode; the negative electrode voltage V. N This refers to the voltage data between the negative electrode and the reference electrode.
[0055] Lithium-ion batteries are chemical batteries, and electrochemical reactions occur inside them constantly during charging and discharging. This requires a method for in-situ detection of the chemical reactions inside the battery. This invention is based on the capacity decay analysis of a three-electrode lithium-ion battery. By introducing a reference electrode, in-situ monitoring of the battery's internal structure can be performed, which can help researchers better understand the electrochemical reactions that occur at the positive and negative electrodes during charging and discharging.
[0056] S3. After the three-electrode lithium-ion battery has been cycle-aged to the specified battery life end condition, stop the cycle aging test;
[0057] Preferably, the three-electrode lithium-ion battery is cycle-aged until the discharge capacity relative to the initial discharge capacity decreases to 80%, at which point the cycle aging test is stopped.
[0058] S4. Plot the discharge voltage curves VQ diagrams for different cycle numbers in the same coordinate system. The discharge voltage curves VQ diagrams include the full battery voltage curve V. F -Q, Positive voltage curve V P -Q and negative electrode voltage curve V N -Q;

[0061] If the full cell voltage curve V F In the -Q diagram, the discharge is cut off at the positive electrode voltage at the end of the discharge period, indicating that the main reason for the capacity decay of the lithium-ion battery is the loss of the positive electrode active material inside the lithium-ion battery.
[0062] If the full cell voltage curve V F In the -Q diagram, the battery cuts off at the negative electrode voltage at the end of the discharge phase. This indicates that the main reason for the capacity decay of the lithium-ion battery is the loss of the internal negative electrode active material or the loss of usable lithium ions. Further analysis is needed at this point. The specific analysis method is as follows:
[0063] The collected battery capacity Q data and voltage V data are differentiated to obtain dQ and dV;
[0064] The collected battery capacity Q data is used as the X-axis data, and the dV / dQ ratio is used as the Y-axis data. After filtering the dV / dQ ratio using a Gaussian filtering method, the voltage differential curve dV / dQ-Q plot is obtained; wherein, the voltage differential curve dV / dQ-Q plot includes the full battery voltage differential curve dV F / dQ-Q, positive voltage differential curve dV P / dQ-Q and the differential curve of the negative electrode voltage dV N / dQ-Q;

[0066] If the right halves of the differential curves of the negative electrode voltages basically overlap, then the main reason for the capacity decay of the lithium-ion battery is the loss of usable lithium ions in the lithium-ion battery; otherwise, the main reason for the capacity decay of the lithium-ion battery is the loss of the active material of the negative electrode inside the lithium-ion battery.
[0067] Lithium-ion batteries can be simplified into a continuous cycle of charging, resting, and discharging during use. During charging, lithium ions are released from the positive electrode, pass through the separator, and gain electrons on the surface of the negative electrode. During discharging, lithium ions are released from the negative electrode, pass through the separator, and embed into the positive electrode. This invention focuses on the discharge process of a lithium-ion battery. When lithium ions are released from the negative electrode and embed into the positive electrode, and the positive electrode, as the host structure for lithium ions, has no extra vacancy sites for embedding, according to the Gibbs law, the rate of decrease in the positive electrode potential will accelerate, thus causing the full cell voltage to reach the discharge cutoff voltage. In this invention, the positive electrode voltage curve V... P If -Q shows a significant decrease at the end of the discharge period, i.e., the positive electrode voltage curve V P -Q exhibits a small tail at the end of discharge, indicating a significant drop in voltage relative to the plateau. The appearance of this voltage tail suggests that the positive electrode active material no longer has a host structure suitable for lithium-ion intercalation. The greater the drop in the voltage tail, the more the full cell voltage is affected by the positive electrode voltage. Therefore, the full cell voltage curve V is used to determine... F In the -Q diagram, the discharge is cut off at the positive electrode voltage at the end of the discharge period; otherwise, it is determined that the discharge is cut off at the negative electrode voltage at the end of the discharge period. As active lithium ions are released from the negative electrode, the negative electrode voltage plateau will gradually rise, and the rate of increase of the negative electrode voltage curve will accelerate at the end of the discharge. The negative electrode voltage cutoff described in this invention needs to be referenced to the positive electrode voltage curve and the specific value of the negative electrode potential during the initial battery capacity calibration.
[0068] The "active material" mentioned in this invention refers to the material in the positive and negative electrodes of a lithium-ion battery that participates in the lithium-ion insertion / extraction reaction during the charging and discharging process. Commonly used positive electrode active materials include lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium manganese oxide (LMO), and nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary materials (NCM) or nickel-cobalt-aluminum ternary materials (NCA), etc. Commonly used negative electrode active materials include graphite and lithium titanate, etc.

F -Q, Positive voltage curve V P-Q and negative electrode voltage curve V N -Q; such as Figure 1 As shown;
[0082] S5. Based on the discharge voltage curve VQ diagram, analyze the reasons for the capacity decay of the lithium-ion battery:
[0083] If the full cell voltage curve V F In the -Q diagram, the positive electrode voltage is cut off at the end of the discharge period, indicating that the reason for the capacity decay of the lithium-ion battery is the loss of the positive electrode active material inside the lithium-ion battery.
[0084] If the full cell voltage curve V F In the -Q diagram, the battery is cut off at the negative electrode voltage at the end of the discharge period. It is determined that the reason for the capacity decay of the lithium-ion battery is the loss of the negative electrode active material inside the lithium-ion battery or the loss of the available lithium ions in the battery.
[0085] Among them, the positive voltage curve V P If -Q shows a significant decrease at the end of the discharge period, then the full cell voltage curve V is determined. F In the -Q diagram, the discharge is cut off at the positive terminal voltage at the end of the discharge period; otherwise, it is determined that the discharge is cut off at the negative terminal voltage at the end of the discharge period.
[0086] If the full cell voltage curve V F In the -Q plot, where the discharge is cut off at the negative electrode voltage at the end, the process also includes: differentiating the collected battery capacity Q data and voltage V data to obtain dQ and dV; using the collected battery capacity Q data as the X-axis data and the ratio of dV / dQ as the Y-axis data, and filtering the dV / dQ ratio using a Gaussian filtering method to obtain the voltage differential curve dV / dQ-Q plot, as shown below.

[0088] exist Figure 1 As can be seen from the data, in the initial stage of cycle aging, the full cell voltage curve V... F The -Q diagram shows a cutoff voltage at the negative electrode, gradually transitioning to a cutoff voltage at the positive electrode during cyclic aging. This indicates that at the beginning of cyclic aging, the capacity decay of a lithium-ion battery is due to the loss of the negative electrode active material or the loss of usable lithium ions. However, during cyclic aging, the positive electrode active material cycles faster, thus its loss gradually becomes the cause of capacity decay.
[0089] exist Figure 3 As can be seen from the curves, the right half of the differential curves of each negative electrode voltage basically overlaps, so it can be determined that the reason for the capacity decay of the lithium-ion battery is the loss of usable lithium ions in the lithium-ion battery.
[0090] Therefore, it can be concluded that the initial capacity decay of this lithium-ion battery during cycle aging is mainly due to the loss of usable lithium ions. In the later stages of cycle aging, the main cause of capacity decay is the loss of the positive electrode active material, possibly due to a phase change in the structure of the positive electrode active material.

However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Any technical solutions obtained by adopting equivalent substitutions or equivalent transformations should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
