Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of battery detection, in particular to a lithium precipitation detection method and device for a battery, a storage medium and a processor. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a new type of green energy, lithium ion batteries have been rapidly developed and applied in many fields such as automobiles, energy storage, aerospace and handheld electronic devices.

[0003] Lithium precipitation is a common abnormal phenomenon of lithium ion batteries during charging, especially when charging at a large current or at low temperature. The equilibrium potential of lithium precipitation is 0V. During charging, the negative electrode potential decreases due to polarization and lithium intercalation reaction. When the potential of the negative electrode is lower than the electrode potential of lithium, lithium precipitation occurs. After lithium is precipitated on the surface of the negative electrode, part of it will be re-embedded in the negative electrode in the subsequent process, which is called reversible lithium. Another part may lose electrical connection by detaching from the negative electrode surface or reacting with the electrolyte to form byproducts. This part of the precipitated lithium cannot be re-embedded in the negative electrode and is called irreversible lithium or dead lithium. Due to the strong reactivity of lithium and poor thermal stability, it can react with the electrolyte at a low temperature, reducing the safety and stability of the battery. At the same time, the lithium dendrites precipitated may pierce the battery separator and cause positive and negative short circuits, leading to safety accidents. Therefore, to ensure the normal use of the battery system and reduce the safety risk, it is necessary to detect lithium precipitation in a timely manner.

[0004] In related technologies, common lithium precipitation detection methods mainly include scanning electron microscopy and voltage relaxation method. The scanning electron microscope observes the difference in the surface morphology of graphite to determine whether lithium metal is precipitated. The voltage relaxation method uses the principle that the precipitated lithium is re-embedded in graphite, uses differential processing method to obtain the rate of change of voltage with time, and determines whether lithium precipitation occurs in the battery process by the appearance of the differential lithium voltage peak on the curve. The scanning electron microscope is an offline destructive detection method which is not suitable for online detection of the battery system. Although the voltage relaxation method can be used for online detection, its detection sensitivity is low and it can only be detected and recognized when a large amount of lithium precipitation occurs, which has a high risk.

[0005] To solve the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed so far. SUMMARY

It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described herein can be executed in an order different from that shown herein.

[0026] Figure 1 is a lithium precipitation detection method of a battery according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 the method comprises the following steps:

[0027] Step S102, acquiring a first available capacity corresponding to a negative electrode of the battery and a second available capacity corresponding to a positive electrode of the battery, and determining a target reference value of the battery according to the first available capacity and the second available capacity, wherein the target reference value is used to represent a critical value of lithium precipitation of the battery;

[0028] Step S104, determining a capacity change rate of the negative electrode material of the battery after a predetermined number of cycles, wherein the capacity change rate is used to represent the degree of lithium precipitation reaction of the negative electrode, and the greater the capacity change rate, the greater the degree of lithium precipitation reaction of the negative electrode;

[0029] Step S106, determining that the battery has lithium precipitation in the case that the capacity change rate is greater than the target reference value.

[0030] The method for detecting lithium precipitation of the battery comprises the following steps: obtaining a first available capacity corresponding to a negative electrode of the battery and a second available capacity corresponding to a positive electrode of the battery; determining a target reference value of the battery according to the first available capacity and the second available capacity, wherein the target reference value is used to represent a critical value of lithium precipitation of the battery; determining a capacity change rate of the negative electrode material of the battery after a predetermined number of cycles; and determining that lithium precipitation occurs in the battery when the capacity change rate is greater than the target reference value, so as to achieve the purpose of determining whether lithium precipitation occurs in the battery according to the capacity change rate, thereby greatly simplifying the steps of lithium precipitation detection, discovering lithium precipitation of the battery in time and accurately, and indirectly improving the service life and safety of the battery, and solving the technical problems of not timely determining lithium precipitation and affecting the service life and safety of the battery due to poor detection sensitivity of the lithium precipitation detection method in the related art.

[0031] It should be noted that the measurement units of the first available capacity and the second available capacity are ampere-hours (Ah) or milliampere-hours (mAh). Ampere-hours can also be referred to as ampere-hours, which is equal to the current in a period of time. One ampere-hour is equal to one ampere connection current for one hour. Milliampere-hours can also be referred to as milliampere-hours, which is one-thousandth of an ampere-hour, that is, 1000 mAh = 1 Ah.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the capacity change rate of the negative electrode of the battery after a predetermined number of cycles can be achieved by the following steps. Specifically, a first capacity difference in the first cycle is obtained, wherein the first capacity difference is used to indicate the change amount of the normal reaction of the negative electrode material; a second capacity difference after a predetermined number of cycles is obtained, wherein the second capacity difference indicates the change amount of the normal reaction of the negative electrode material; and the capacity change rate is determined according to the first capacity difference and the second capacity difference. It should be noted that the normal reaction of the negative electrode material refers to the chemical reaction between the ions of the positive electrode and the negative electrode material in the normal use process of the battery. For example, when the battery is a lithium battery and the negative electrode material is graphite, the normal reaction refers to the reaction between lithium ions and graphite.

[0033] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the first capacity difference in the first cycle can be achieved by the following method: determining the change value of the battery capacity corresponding to the battery voltage of the battery in the first cycle; obtaining a first function change curve according to the change value of the battery capacity corresponding to the battery voltage of the battery in the first cycle; performing differential processing on the first function change curve to obtain a second function change curve, and determining a first phase change equilibrium peak and a second phase change equilibrium peak in the second function change curve; obtaining a first capacity value corresponding to the first phase change equilibrium peak and a second capacity value corresponding to the second phase change equilibrium peak; and determining the first capacity difference according to the first capacity value and the second capacity value.

[0034] It should be noted that the above-mentioned cycle use process refers to a process of completing a 100% full discharge / charge of the battery, for example, the battery has 100% power, and the power of the battery is used to 0% (i.e. full discharge), and then charged to 100% (i.e. full charge), which is a cycle, at this time, the cycle number of the battery is 1, and the charge number is 1.

[0035] It is easy to note that the above-mentioned first function curve is a v-q curve, and the above-mentioned second function curve is a dv / dq-q (which can also be expressed as dvdq-q) curve, Figure 2 is a dv / dq-q curve diagram in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the curve has two obvious convex inflection points, and the two inflection points are two phase transition equilibrium peaks, as Figure 2 shown, peak 1 (i.e. first phase transition equilibrium peak) and peak 2 (i.e. second phase transition equilibrium peak); It should be noted that peak 1 and peak 2 correspond to two characteristic reaction phase transition equilibrium peaks of lithium ions embedded in graphite, so the change of the relative distance between peak 1 and peak 2 represents the change of the amount of graphite participating in the reaction in the cycle process, wherein peak 1 corresponds to a first capacity value, and peak 2 corresponds to a second capacity value, so the first capacity difference can be determined according to the difference between the second capacity value and the first capacity value.

[0036] Similarly, the second capacity difference of the battery after a predetermined number of cycles can be obtained by the following steps, specifically, the change value of the battery capacity corresponding to the battery can be determined as the battery voltage of the battery changes after the battery is used for a predetermined number of cycles; a third function curve is obtained according to the change value of the battery capacity corresponding to the battery as the battery voltage of the battery changes during the charging process of the battery after the battery is used for a predetermined number of cycles; the third function curve is differentiated to obtain a fourth function curve, and the third phase transition equilibrium peak and the fourth phase transition equilibrium peak in the fourth function curve are determined; a third capacity value corresponding to the third phase transition equilibrium peak and a fourth capacity value corresponding to the fourth phase transition equilibrium peak are obtained; and a second capacity difference is determined according to the third capacity value and the fourth capacity value.

[0037] It should be noted that the capacity change rate obtained according to the first capacity difference and the second capacity difference can be a first ratio of the first capacity difference and the second capacity difference; and the first ratio is determined as the capacity change rate.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the target reference value of the battery is determined according to the first available capacity and the second available capacity, which can be a second ratio of the first available capacity and the second available capacity; and the second ratio is determined as the target reference value. It should be noted that in the design process of the battery, in order to prevent lithium precipitation of the negative electrode, the available capacity of the negative electrode (i.e. the first available capacity) is generally greater than the available capacity of the positive electrode (i.e. the second available capacity), so that the first available capacity / second available capacity can obtain the target reference value, and the target reference value N / P is generally between 1.1-1.2.

[0039] It should be noted that with the cyclic use of the battery cell, if it is detected that the amount of negative electrode material participating in the reaction (the negative electrode material includes but is not limited to: graphite) is less and less, the risk of lithium precipitation increases, and when the change rate of the amount of negative electrode participating in the reaction is greater than N / P, lithium precipitation occurs, that is, in the case where the capacity change rate is greater than the target reference value, it can be determined that the battery has lithium precipitation. It can be understood that in the case where the capacity change rate is less than the target reference value, it can be determined that the battery has not lithium precipitation.

[0040] In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the present application will be described in conjunction with a specific embodiment, Figure 3 For a battery in an example of the present application, the dv / dq-q curve in the cyclic use process is shown in the following figure, Figure 3 It can be seen from the figure that the distance between peak 1 and peak 2 (i.e. the first capacity difference) q1=5.706 of the fresh battery cell, i.e. the first cycle, and the distance between peak 1' and peak 2' (i.e. the second capacity difference) q1'=4.585 of the battery cell after cycling for several times. This phenomenon shows that the available material of the negative electrode has been reduced after cycling.

[0041] Therefore, by determining the first ratio of the first capacity difference and the second capacity difference, the negative electrode capacity change rate z=q1 / q1'=1.244 can be obtained. Assuming that the target reference value N / P of this battery is 1.13, since the negative electrode change rate z is greater than the target reference value N / P, it can be determined that this battery has lithium precipitation after cycling for several times.

[0042] It should be noted that the difference between the capacity change rate and the target reference value can be used to indicate the degree of lithium precipitation of the battery. The greater the difference between the capacity change rate and the target reference value, the more serious the lithium precipitation of the battery. For example, [0.001-0.05) represents slight lithium precipitation, [0.05-0.09) represents ordinary lithium precipitation, and greater than 0.09 represents serious lithium precipitation. Since the above embodiment 1.244-1.13=0.114, it can be determined that the battery has serious lithium precipitation.
