TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermal battery detection, and particularly relates to a thermal battery electrolyte moisture content detection method and system based on impedance. BACKGROUND
[0002] A thermal battery is a kind of disposable reserve battery widely used in various types of equipment, and has the characteristics of long storage life, high reliability, high safety, high specific energy and high specific power. Each monomer battery of the thermal battery is pressed by a positive electrode, an electrolyte and a negative electrode, the negative electrode is generally a very active lithium alloy such as LiB, LiSi and LiAl, the positive electrode is generally a material such as FeS2, Fe x Co 1-x S2, CoS2, V2O5 and NiCl2, and the electrolyte is a molten salt. Since the molten salt electrolyte is prone to moisture absorption, it often contains a certain amount of moisture, and the moisture released from the molten salt reacts with the positive electrode and the negative electrode during the long-term storage process or working of the thermal battery, resulting in a decrease in the performance of the battery. Therefore, the moisture in the electrolyte material is one of the key factors affecting the performance of the thermal battery, and the trace moisture content in the electrolyte must be strictly controlled and characterized in the production and inspection of the thermal battery.
[0003] The currently commonly used methods for detecting the moisture content of the material mainly include Karl Fischer method and thermogravimetric method, both of which can only test a small amount of electrolyte material, and the moisture content in the electrolyte material of the thermal battery monomer battery or the thermal battery product needs to be tested after the thermal battery is destroyed to obtain the electrolyte material, and the sampling and measurement process is easily affected by the environmental humidity and needs to be operated in a dry environment, which is complex, time-consuming and harsh to the environment, and is a destructive test.
[0004] Meizhou Liangneng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. reported a method for detecting the moisture content of a battery electrode sheet, which measures the resistance of the battery electrode sheet to detect the moisture content of the battery electrode material, but this method cannot be applied to the detection of the moisture content of the thermal battery electrolyte material. First, since the electrode sheet resistance only accounts for a small part of the battery resistance, this method is only applicable to the detection of the moisture content of the electrode sheet material in the electrode sheet preparation process, and cannot be applied after the completion of the pressing of the battery monomer battery or the assembly of the whole machine. Second, since the conductive mechanisms of the electrode material and the electrolyte material are different, the linear correlation model of impedance and moisture content in the method cannot be applied to the molten salt electrolyte of the thermal battery. Third, the method does not eliminate the influence of uneven distribution of moisture on the impedance of the material. Fourth, the method does not eliminate the influence of the measurement environment temperature on the impedance of the molten salt electrolyte. Fifth, the electrode in the method adopts a coating process, while the thermal battery monomer battery generally adopts a powder pressing process, and the different pressures result in different electrolyte compaction densities and different resistivities, and the method does not eliminate the influence of the impedance difference caused by the change of the compaction density on the detection accuracy of the moisture content. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the moisture content of the electrolyte material in existing thermal batteries needs to be tested through destructive testing in a dry environment. However, the existing methods for detecting the moisture content of battery electrode sheets are not suitable for detecting the moisture content of electrolyte materials in thermal batteries, and cannot accurately and non-destructively detect the moisture content of electrolyte materials in individual battery cells or the entire battery system.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0055] Each cell in a thermal battery is formed by pressing together three layers: a positive electrode, an electrolyte, and a negative electrode. The negative electrode is typically a highly reactive lithium alloy such as LiB, LiSi, or LiAl, while the positive electrode is typically FeS2 or Fe... x Co 1-x Materials such as S2, CoS2, V2O5, and NiCl2 are used, with molten salt as the electrolyte. Because molten salt electrolytes are highly hygroscopic and often contain a certain amount of moisture, the moisture released from the molten salt during long-term storage or operation reacts with the positive and negative electrode materials, leading to a decline in battery performance. Therefore, moisture in the electrolyte material is one of the key factors affecting the performance of thermal batteries. In the production and testing of thermal batteries, the trace moisture content in the electrolyte must be strictly controlled and characterized.
[0056] Currently, the commonly used methods for detecting the moisture content of materials are mainly the Karl Fischer method and the thermogravimetric method. Both methods can only be used for sampling tests on a small amount of electrolyte material. When testing the moisture content of electrolyte material in a single cell or product of a thermal battery, the thermal battery must be destroyed to obtain the electrolyte material before testing can be performed. Furthermore, the sample preparation and measurement process is easily affected by the ambient humidity and needs to be carried out in a dry environment. The process is complex, time-consuming, and has stringent environmental requirements. It is also a destructive test.
[0057] Furthermore, an existing method for detecting the moisture content of battery electrode sheets measures the moisture content of the battery electrode material by measuring the resistance of the electrode sheet. However, this method cannot be applied to the moisture detection of electrolyte materials in hot batteries. First, since electrode resistance accounts for only a small portion of the battery resistance, this method is only applicable to the moisture content detection of electrode materials during the battery electrode manufacturing process, and cannot be applied after the battery cells have been pressed or the entire assembly is complete. Second, due to the different conduction mechanisms in electrode materials and electrolyte materials, the linear correlation model between impedance and moisture content proposed in this method cannot be applied to molten salt electrolytes in hot batteries. Third, this method does not eliminate the influence of uneven moisture distribution on the impedance of molten salt electrolytes. Fourth, this method does not eliminate the influence of ambient temperature on the impedance of molten salt electrolytes. Fifth, the electrodes in this method are produced using a coating process, while hot battery cells are generally produced using a powder pressing process. Different pressures lead to different electrolyte compaction densities and resistivities; this method does not eliminate the impact of impedance differences caused by variations in compaction density on the accuracy of moisture content detection.
[0058] To address the above issues, this invention proposes an impedance-based method for detecting the moisture content of electrolyte materials in thermal batteries. The basic principle is that a thermal battery consists of individual battery cells, a heating element, and current collectors connected in series. In the unactivated state, the current collector of the heating element is a good conductor, and the battery impedance is determined by the impedance of the individual battery cells. The impedance of a single thermal battery cell is the result of the series impedances of the positive electrode, negative electrode, molten salt electrolyte, and their interface. The positive and negative electrode materials of the individual battery cells are good conductors, and the interface has a very small thickness; their impedance is very small compared to the electrolyte. Therefore, the impedance of a single thermal battery cell is mainly determined by the impedance of the molten salt electrolyte layer.
[0059] For a thermal cell containing n0 individual cells with area S0 and electrolyte thickness h0, and its impedance in the inactive state at temperature T0 is R0, then the resistivity p0 of the molten salt electrolyte layer is:
[0060] p0 = R0 × S0 / (n0 × h0)
[0061] Molten salt electrolytes have extremely high resistivity when completely anhydrous, but they are highly hygroscopic. As the water content gradually increases, the number of freely moving ions in the electrolyte gradually increases, its ionic conductivity gradually increases, and its resistivity gradually decreases. The resistivity p0 of the molten salt electrolyte layer and the water content Y have a power-law relationship:
[0062] Y = a × [p0] -b
[0063] a and b are determined through prior experiments.
[0064] Molten salt electrolyte materials containing a certain amount of moisture have ions as the dominant charge carriers. As the temperature increases, the migration rate of ions increases and the resistivity decreases. The resistivity p0 at temperature T0 and the resistivity p1 at the pre-test ambient temperature T1 follow an exponential relationship.
[0065] p0 = p1 × exp[c / (1 / T0 - 1 / T1)]
[0066] Wherein, c is determined through prior experiments.
[0067] The preparation of thermal battery cells generally employs a powder pressing process. The greater the pressing pressure, the greater the compaction density of the electrolyte sheet, and the lower the resistivity of the electrolyte sheet. The resistivity p of the electrolyte sheet and the compaction density P follow a linear relationship.
[0068] p = (f + d × P)
[0069] Where f and d are determined through prior experiments, and the compaction density P = m3 / S1×h1, where m3 is the mass of the electrolyte material, S1 is the electrolyte area, and h1 is the thickness of the electrolyte layer. Under the same moisture content, the difference between the resistivity p0 and p1 of two electrolyte sheets with compaction densities P0 = m0 / (S0×h0) and P1 = m3 / (S1×h1) is: p1-p0 = d×(m3×S0×h0-m0×S1×h1) / (S0×h0×S1×h1).
[0070] Therefore, considering the effects of moisture content, temperature, and compaction density, the correlation model between moisture content in the electrolyte material of a thermal battery and the impedance of the thermal battery in its inactive state is as follows:
[0071] Y=a×{[R0×S0 / (n0×h0)]×exp[c×(1 / T1-1 / T0)]+d×(m3×S0×h0-m0×S1×h1) / (S0×h0×S1×h)} -b .
[0072] In the preliminary test, to eliminate the influence of uneven moisture distribution in the molten salt on the electrolyte impedance, the electrolyte material was first thoroughly dried to remove water. Then, a certain mass of water was added to the electrolyte, and it was placed in a sealed container and baked at a temperature above 373K for more than 24 hours to desorb and vaporize the water in the electrolyte material in the sealed container. Afterwards, during the cooling and re-adsorption of water by the electrolyte material, an automatic mixing device or manual shaking was used to ensure that the electrolyte material in the container adsorbed water evenly, thereby effectively eliminating the influence of uneven moisture on impedance.
[0073] Simultaneously, during the preliminary testing, this invention also considered the influence of ambient temperature and compaction density on the electrolyte material, and determined the electrolyte material factor a, moisture influence factor b, temperature influence factor c, and compaction density influence factor d in the nonlinear correlation model between impedance and electrolyte material moisture content. This invention is applied to the complete assembly state of the battery, using the proposed nonlinear impedance and electrolyte material moisture content detection model to obtain the moisture content of the electrolyte material in the complete thermal battery and individual battery cells in real time. It is fast, accurate, non-destructive to the product, applicable to different temperature environments, and can perform online non-destructive testing.
