[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application clearer, the application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the application and do not limit the application. In addition, the technical features involved in each embodiment of the application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0049] The application provides a modeling method of the electrode diffusion process of the liquid metal battery based on pade approximation, comprising:
[0050] S1: A battery 1-D simplified model is set according to the layered structure characteristics of the liquid metal battery, and the battery 1-D simplified model is set as follows: the movement of the material only occurs in the horizontal direction and the electrochemical reaction occurring in the horizontal direction is uniform; the negative electrode diffusion process is ignored and the negative electrode potential is considered as zero; the positive and negative electrode capacities do not change during the reaction process; the influence of gravity on the material is ignored;
[0051] S2: Obtain the diffusion coefficient D of the positive electrode material in the liquid metal battery for the battery 1-D simplified model p ;
[0052] S3: Use Fick's second law and the diffusion coefficient to describe the positive electrode diffusion process to obtain the positive electrode Li diffusion concentration The ratio G(s) of the current density I(s), G(s) is used to describe the positive electrode dynamic performance, and s is a complex variable in Laplace transform;
[0053] S4: Use Pade approximation to simplify the partial differential equation ratio to simulate the electrode diffusion process of the liquid metal battery, thereby obtaining the electrode diffusion process model.
[0054] A battery 1-D simplified model is proposed for the layered structure characteristics of the liquid metal battery. Taking discharging as an example, during discharging, the negative lithium ions pass through the salt to reach the positive electrode surface, react with the positive metal (Bi or SbSn alloy, etc.), causing the change of Li concentration in the electrode, thereby forming a concentration gradient.
[0055] Preferably, based on the characteristics of the liquid metal battery, the 1-D simplified model is assumed as follows: (1) Assume that the material movement only occurs in the x-axis direction, and the electrochemical reaction occurring in the x direction is uniform, that is, the material concentration in the y-axis direction is equal; (2) Since the negative electrode material is generally pure Li, no concentration gradient is formed, so the diffusion process in the negative electrode can be ignored, and the negative electrode potential can be considered as 0; (3) Assume that the positive and negative electrode capacities do not change during the reaction process; (4) Assume that the effect of gravity on the material can be ignored.
[0056] Preferably, according to assumption (2), the negative electrode diffusion process can be ignored, and the negative electrode potential will not be affected, so only the positive electrode diffusion process needs to be considered. The positive electrode diffusion is described by Fick's second law:
[0057]
[0058] In the formula, D p represents the diffusion coefficient of Li in the positive electrode material, C P represents the Li concentration, x represents the corresponding x-axis position, and t represents the time.
[0059] Further, the boundary condition of the positive electrode diffusion is related to the current density J, as shown in formulas (2)-(3):
[0060]
[0061]
[0062] In the formula, L is the length of the positive electrode. The lithium concentration on the surface of the positive electrode of the liquid metal battery with average lithium concentration is an important parameter for studying diffusion process. The surface lithium concentration determines the potential of the positive electrode, while the average lithium concentration in the electrode determines the SOC of the electrode. The difference between the surface lithium concentration and the average lithium concentration is the diffusion concentration which can be expressed by equation (4):
[0063]
[0064] Further, by taking the Lagrange transformation of equation (1) and substituting the boundary equations of equations (2)-(3), the surface Li concentration of the positive electrode can be obtained as The relationship between the surface Li concentration and the current density I(s) is shown in equation (5):
[0065]
[0066] where A is the cross-sectional area of the positive electrode, and F is the Faraday constant.
[0067] Further, the average lithium concentration in the positive electrode and the average current density j avg which can be expressed by equations (6)-(7):
[0068]
[0069]
[0070] By taking the derivative of equation (6) with respect to variable t and taking the Lagrange transformation, and then substituting equation (7), the relationship between the average lithium concentration and the current can be obtained as shown in equation:
[0071]
[0072] Further, by equations (4), (5), (8), the relationship between the lithium diffusion concentration and the current can be obtained as shown in equation (9):
[0073] G(s) represents the dynamic performance of the positive electrode, which describes the change of the battery diffusion concentration with the current. For the convenience of calculation, let λ = L 2 / D, which is substituted into equation (9), G λ (s) can be obtained as shown in equation (10).
[0074]
[0075] Further, for the convenience of subsequent simplification, the H(s) containing transcendental function items in equation (10) is arranged as shown in equation (11).
[0076]
[0077] The transcendental function in H(s) is difficult to be parameter identified and has low computational efficiency, which restricts the application of the model in actual battery management system, and therefore it is necessary to approximate and simplify H(s) by using a function H app (s).
[0078] Preferably, the present application uses the Pade approximation method to simplify the diffusion process. The Pade approximation is an effective method for solving the rational approximation of an arbitrary function, and its standard form is as follows:
[0079]
[0080] In the formula, a i is the numerator coefficient, b i is the denominator coefficient, and N and M are integer terms.
[0081] In the formula, a1 can be obtained by frequency response characteristics, and the coefficient a1 can be obtained by the system response when s approaches 0:
[0082] a1 = H app (s)| s→0 = H(s)| s→0 (13)
[0083] Preferably, in the present application, other coefficients can be identified by using a genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm is a search algorithm for solving the optimal solution of an optimization problem, and the optimal solution is obtained by iteration of processes such as initial value selection, crossover and mutation.
[0084] Preferably, the values of N and M are fixed, and in the initial population generation stage, k vectors are randomly generated according to the initial value setting range, and each vector is composed of the coefficients to be identified. Further, the population evolution stage is divided into four parts of parent selection, gene crossover, gene mutation and introduction of foreign individuals to update and iterate the initial value.
[0085] Preferably, since the frequency domain system parameters need to be identified in the present application, the identification effect needs to be evaluated in the real part and the imaginary part, and therefore the evaluation index of the present application is:
[0086] O H = ||Re[H app (s)]-Re[H(s)]||+||Im[H app (s)]-Im[H(s)]|| (14)
[0087] In the formula, ||.|| represents the Euclidean distance between vectors.
[0088] Preferably, in the present application, the iteration is stopped when the number of iterations is greater than 10,000, and the individual with the minimum evaluation index in the last population is taken as the optimal coefficient solution identified.
[0089] Furthermore, in order to improve computational efficiency while meeting accuracy requirements, the optimal order of the approximate electrode diffusion process is analyzed by taking different values for N and M, combined with system response analysis.
[0090] According to another aspect of the present invention, a simple method for obtaining the diffusion coefficient of the positive electrode based on the characteristics of liquid metal batteries is provided. Traditional methods for obtaining the diffusion coefficient of liquid metal batteries require designing a reference electrode and building a titration experimental platform in a high-temperature environment, a process that is complex and difficult to operate.
[0091] Preferably, this invention utilizes a full-cell constant-current intermittent titration technique to solve for the diffusion coefficient. Since the pure lithium anode of a liquid metal battery can be considered to have zero potential, by allowing the battery to stand for a sufficiently long time, the measured open-circuit voltage is the equilibrium potential of the positive electrode. The diffusion coefficient is obtained using the relationship between the battery voltage change and the relaxation time; the formula for solving the diffusion coefficient is:
[0092]
[0093] Where τ represents the relaxation time, and n m This refers to the number of moles; V m The molar volume of the electrode material is represented by S; the electrode / electrolyte contact area is represented by ΔE. s It is the voltage change caused by the pulse; ΔE t It is the voltage change during constant current charging (discharging).
[0094] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the liquid metal battery structure provided by the present invention. Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, a Li||Sb4Sn6 liquid metal battery with a rated capacity of 20Ah is selected.
[0095] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the 1-D structure of the liquid metal battery provided by the present invention. x = L and x = L + Ls are the contact surfaces of the positive electrode / molten salt and the negative electrode / molten salt, respectively, where electrochemical reactions occur. Taking discharge as an example, the lithium metal at the negative electrode loses electrons at x = L + Ls and becomes Li. + Li + The molten salt reacts with the cathode material at x = L to form an alloy. When the Li concentration changes on the cathode / molten salt surface, a concentration gradient is formed, which causes Li to diffuse in the cathode.
[0096] Figure 3 , Figure 4 The solid lines in the graph represent the frequency and time domain responses of formula (11), respectively, while the dotted line graph shows the fitting results using the Pade approximation method. Analyzing formula (11) at a frequency of 10... -5 -10 5The amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency response of the interval, in the high frequency region, the amplitude-frequency curve slope is -10dB / octave. The phase of G(s) is close to 0° at low frequency, and close to -45° at high frequency, and the integer order polynomial cannot realize the fitting of the Bode diagram. Therefore, the base term of the above polynomial needs to be changed to a fractional order, with 1 / 2 as the base order.
[0097] Preferably, in the application, the form of Pade approximation is shown in formula (16):
[0098]
[0099] By analyzing the Pade approximation fitting results of N=1, 2, 3, it can be known that with the increase of the order, the model accuracy is also improved. When N=2, 3, the fitting accuracy of the model is obviously higher than that when N=1, and the model accuracy of N=2 and N=3 is not obviously improved. Therefore, considering the accuracy and model complexity, the Pade approximation order is selected as N=2.
[0100] Figure 5 The positive electrode diffusion coefficient diagram based on the full battery relaxation time provided by the application contains the battery voltage change with the working condition and the diffusion coefficient calculation result. The specific battery experiment steps are as follows:
[0101] S1: charge the battery to full capacity in a constant current and constant voltage charging mode.
[0102] S2: stand for 20min to make the internal electrochemical reaction of the battery stable;
[0103] S3: discharge at 0.2C for 20min;
[0104] S4: repeat steps S2-S3 until the battery is reduced to the discharge cut-off voltage.
[0105] S5: stand for 20min to make the internal electrochemical reaction of the battery stable;
[0106] S6: charge at 0.2C for 20min;
[0107] S7: repeat steps S5-S6 until the battery is raised to the charge cut-off voltage.
[0108] Based on the positive electrode diffusion process simplification method provided by the application, a battery model embodiment is built, Figure 6 The model simulation and experimental result comparison chart under constant current condition is shown. Under the constant current discharge condition of 1A, 2A and 4A, the average error is 1.8mV, 1mV and 3.4mV respectively. It shows that the positive electrode diffusion simplification method provided by the application can effectively simulate the dynamic response process of the battery, and has wide practical application prospect.
