Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and in particular to a lithium deposition detection method, computer equipment, medium and vehicle for lithium ion batteries. Background Art

[0002] When lithium deposition occurs in lithium-ion batteries, the content of active lithium ions in the battery will be greatly reduced, causing a sharp decrease in battery capacity. The lithium metal formed by the deposited lithium ions may even puncture the battery separator, causing a short circuit between the positive and negative poles of the battery, posing a serious safety risk.

[0003] At present, the lithium deposition detection method of lithium-ion batteries mainly includes the detection using the characteristics generated after lithium deposition. For example, if the differential curve of the static voltage over time after charging is cut off has a concave peak, it is determined that lithium deposition has occurred; or the detection method can also include the detection using the thickness of the negative electrode after lithium deposition (lithium dendrites formed by lithium deposition will cause the thickness of the negative electrode to increase). However, the method of detection using the characteristics generated after lithium deposition cannot distinguish a slight degree of lithium deposition. The method of detection using the thickness of the negative electrode after lithium deposition requires the installation of an additional pressure sensor on the outside of the battery cell, which will not only significantly increase the cost of the battery, but may also affect the heat dissipation effect and threaten the safety of the battery.

[0117] An embodiment of a method for detecting lithium deposition in a lithium-ion battery is described below.

[0118] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of the main steps of a lithium deposition detection method for a lithium ion battery according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the lithium plating detection method of a lithium-ion battery in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps S101 to S104.

[0119] Step S101: obtaining the actual terminal voltage of each cell in the lithium-ion battery after charging is terminated and the actual relaxation time when the actual terminal voltage is obtained.

[0120] The voltage of a lithium-ion battery will gradually return to a balanced state after charging is terminated. The process from charging termination to recovery to a balanced state is called a relaxation process, and the actual relaxation time is a certain time during the relaxation process.

[0121] Step S102: Acquire the actual health status and actual charging condition of the lithium-ion battery.

[0122] The state of health (SOH) is information describing the health life or aging status of a lithium-ion battery. When the health status is 100%, it indicates that the health life of the lithium-ion battery is the best. The charging conditions are information such as the charging current and charging temperature used when charging a lithium-ion battery.

[0123] Step S103: Based on the actual health status and the actual charging conditions, obtain the theoretical terminal voltage when the relaxation time after charging of each battery cell reaches the actual relaxation time without lithium plating, wherein the actual relaxation time is the actual relaxation time obtained in step S101.

[0124] The theoretical terminal voltage is obtained when the lithium-ion battery is charged under the same charging conditions and in the same health state without lithium deposition, and then the terminal voltage at the same time as the actual relaxation time obtained in step S101 is obtained during the relaxation process after charging is terminated.

[0125] For example, the actual health status of the lithium-ion battery is 80%, the actual charging conditions include the actual charging temperature and the temperature is 25°C, and the actual terminal voltage U is obtained. 实际 The actual relaxation time is 10 seconds after the charging is cut off. Therefore, the theoretical terminal voltage U can be determined 理论 It is the terminal voltage at 10 seconds after charging a lithium-ion battery with a health status of 80% at 25°C and charging is cut off. No lithium deposition occurs in the lithium-ion battery during this process.

[0126] Step S104: Determine whether lithium deposition occurs in the battery cell based on the actual terminal voltage and the theoretical terminal voltage. Since the theoretical terminal voltage is obtained when lithium deposition does not occur in the lithium-ion battery, it can indicate the terminal voltage state when lithium deposition does not occur in the battery cell. If the actual terminal voltage is the same as or close to the theoretical terminal voltage, it indicates that lithium deposition does not occur in the battery cell; if the actual terminal voltage differs greatly from the theoretical terminal voltage, it indicates that lithium deposition occurs in the battery cell. In addition, the degree of difference between the actual terminal voltage and the theoretical terminal voltage can also indicate the degree of lithium deposition; if the degree of difference is relatively large, the degree of lithium deposition is relatively large, otherwise the degree of lithium deposition is relatively low. Therefore, based on the degree of difference between the actual terminal voltage and the theoretical terminal voltage, the degree of lithium deposition can also be accurately analyzed.

[0127] After determining that lithium deposition has occurred, an alarm message can be output to remind the user to promptly inspect the lithium-ion battery. For example, for the power battery on a vehicle, after detecting that lithium deposition has occurred, an alarm message can be sent to the vehicle manufacturer so that the manufacturer can recall the power battery or perform on-site maintenance to ensure vehicle safety.

[0128] Based on the method described in steps S101 to S104, it is possible to accurately analyze whether lithium deposition occurs in the lithium-ion battery, and even the degree of lithium deposition, using the theoretical terminal voltage obtained when no lithium deposition occurs in the lithium-ion battery. At the same time, based on the above method, only the terminal voltage, relaxation time, health status, charging conditions and other information of the lithium-ion battery need to be detected, without modifying the structure of the lithium-ion battery, thereby realizing non-destructive and high-precision lithium deposition detection of the lithium-ion battery.

[0129] The above step S103 and step S104 are described below respectively.

[0130] 1. Explain the above step S103.

[0131] In some implementations of the above step S103, an RC equivalent circuit model of the battery cell may be constructed, and the RC equivalent circuit model may be used to generate the battery cell. Figure 2 The following steps S1031 to S1032 are shown to obtain the theoretical terminal voltage.

[0132] Step S1031: Based on the actual health status and the actual charging conditions, obtain the theoretical open circuit voltage and theoretical characteristic parameters of the battery cell after charging is terminated without lithium plating.

[0133] The theoretical open circuit voltage and theoretical characteristic parameters are obtained by charging lithium-ion batteries in the same health state under the same charging conditions without lithium plating. The theoretical characteristic parameters may include ohmic internal resistance, polarization internal resistance and polarization capacitance.

[0134] See attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 , Figure 3 The first-order RC equivalent circuit model is shown as an example. Figure 4 A second-order RC equivalent circuit model is exemplarily shown. Figure 3 OCV in it represents the open circuit voltage of the lithium-ion battery, R0 represents the ohmic internal resistance, R1 represents the polarization internal resistance, C1 represents the polarization capacitance, and U(t) represents the terminal voltage of the lithium-ion battery. Figure 4 R2 also represents the polarization internal resistance, C2 also represents the polarization capacitance, and other parameters are similar to Figure 3 similar.

[0135] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can flexibly set the order of the RC equivalent circuit model according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit it. In some preferred implementations, a second-order RC equivalent circuit model is used.

[0136] Step S1032: based on the RC equivalent circuit model of the battery cell and according to the theoretical open circuit voltage, theoretical characteristic parameters and actual relaxation time, the theoretical terminal voltage of the battery cell is obtained.

[0137] The calculation formula of the terminal voltage is shown in the following formula (1).

[0138]

[0139] The meanings of the parameters in formula (1) are:

[0140] n represents the order of the RC equivalent circuit model.

[0141] I is the charging current before charging is cut off. If the lithium-ion battery adopts non-constant current charging, the average value of the charging current within the preset time before the battery cell is cut off from charging is obtained as the charging current. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific value of the preset time according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention is not specifically limited. For example, the time length for performing 10 current samplings can be used.

[0142] Ui represents the voltage of the i-th RC link, R i and C i They represent the polarization internal resistance and polarization capacitance in the i-th RC link, respectively. When the lithium-ion battery is fully charged or nearly fully charged and lithium deposition is detected, Ui≈I*R i .

[0143] t is the time after charging is cut off. The actual relaxation time is substituted into time t when calculating the theoretical terminal voltage.

[0144] Based on formula (1), the calculation formulas for the terminal voltage of the first-order and second-order RC equivalent circuit models can be obtained as shown in the following formulas (2) and (3), respectively.

[0145]

[0146]

[0147] Based on the above steps S1031 to S1032, the theoretical terminal voltage of the lithium-ion battery can be obtained conveniently and accurately using the RC equivalent circuit model.

[0148] The method for obtaining the theoretical open circuit voltage and the theoretical characteristic parameters in the above step S1031 is further described below.

[0149] 1. Method for obtaining theoretical open circuit voltage

[0150] In some implementations of the above step S1031, the actual charging condition of the lithium-ion battery may include the actual charging temperature. In this case, the theoretical open circuit voltage may be obtained by performing the following steps 11 to 12.

[0151] Step 11: Obtaining the first calibration data between the preset health status, charging temperature and open circuit voltage. The first calibration data records the corresponding relationship between different health status, different charging temperature and different open circuit voltage, and the corresponding relationship can be recorded in a table.

[0152] In this embodiment, the first calibration data can be pre-constructed, and when the theoretical open circuit voltage needs to be obtained, the first calibration data can be directly called. In this embodiment, the first calibration data can be constructed or obtained through the following steps 111 to 112.

[0153] Step 111: Obtaining the actual open circuit voltage of the battery cell when the lithium-ion battery is fully charged at different preset health states and different preset charging temperatures.

[0154] The preset health status includes but is not limited to 100%, 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, and the preset charging temperature includes but is not limited to -20℃, 0℃, 15℃, 25℃, 35℃.

[0155] Taking the 100% healthy state as an example, the lithium-ion battery with a 100% healthy state is charged at -20℃, 0℃, 15℃, 25℃, and 35℃ respectively, and the actual open circuit voltage OCV of the battery cell when fully charged is obtained. -20℃ 、OCV 0℃ 、OCV 15℃ 、OCV 25℃ 、OCV 35℃ Based on these data, the charging temperature of -20℃, 0℃, 15℃, 25℃, and 35℃ respectively correlates with the actual open circuit voltage OCV when the health status is 100%. -20℃ 、OCV 0℃ 、OCV 15℃ 、OCV 25℃ 、OCV 35℃ The corresponding relationship.

[0156] Step 112: Obtain first calibration data according to a preset health state, a preset charging temperature, and an actual open circuit voltage.

[0157] A correspondence is established between each preset charging temperature and each actual open circuit voltage under different health states, and the first calibration data can be formed based on these correspondences.

[0158] Based on the method described in step 111 to step 112, the first calibration data reflecting the corresponding relationship between different health states, different charging temperatures and different open circuit voltages can be accurately obtained through experiments.

[0159] Step 12: Based on the first calibration data and according to the actual health state and the actual charging temperature, obtain the theoretical open circuit voltage.

[0160] An open circuit voltage corresponding to both the actual health state and the actual charging temperature is queried from the first calibration data as a theoretical open circuit voltage.

[0161] Based on the method described in step 11 to step 12 above, the theoretical open circuit voltage of the lithium-ion battery can be quickly obtained using the first calibration data.

[0162] 2. Method for obtaining theoretical characteristic parameters

[0163] In some implementations of the above step S1031, the actual charging conditions of the lithium-ion battery may include an actual charging temperature and an actual charging current. In this case, the theoretical characteristic parameters may be obtained through the following steps 21 to 22.

[0164] Step 21: Obtain the second calibration data between the preset health state, charging temperature, charging current and characteristic parameters. The second calibration data records the corresponding relationship between different health states, different charging temperatures, different charging currents and different characteristic parameters, and the corresponding relationship can be recorded in a table.

[0165] In this embodiment, the second calibration data can be pre-constructed, and when the theoretical characteristic parameters need to be obtained, the second calibration data can be directly called. In this embodiment, the second calibration data can be constructed or obtained through the following steps 211 to 213.

[0166] Step 211: respectively obtaining the relaxation voltage of the lithium-ion battery after charging is terminated under different preset health states, different preset charging temperatures, and different preset charging currents. The relaxation voltage may be the relaxation voltage at the end of the relaxation process.

[0167] The preset health status includes but is not limited to 100%, 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, and the preset charging temperature includes but is not limited to -20℃, 0℃, 15℃, 25℃, 35℃.

[0168] Taking the healthy state of 100% as an example, the lithium-ion battery with a healthy state of 100% is charged at -20℃, 0℃, 15℃, 25℃, and 35℃ respectively, and the relaxation voltage V after charging is cut off is obtained. -20℃ 、V 0℃ 、V 15℃ 、V 25℃ 、V35℃ .

[0169] Step 212: Based on the RC equivalent circuit model of the battery cell and according to the relaxation voltage, actual characteristic parameters of the battery cell are obtained.

[0170] The relaxation voltage is actually also the terminal voltage of the lithium-ion battery. Based on multiple sets of relaxation voltage and charging current data, the actual characteristic parameters can be calculated using the RC equivalent circuit model. It should be noted that the use of the RC equivalent circuit model and the terminal voltage to calculate characteristic parameters such as ohmic internal resistance, polarization internal resistance and polarization capacitance is a conventional method in the field of battery technology, and the embodiment of the present invention does not elaborate on the specific process of calculating the above characteristic parameters.

[0171] Step 213: Obtain second calibration data according to the preset health state, the preset charging current, the preset charging temperature and the actual characteristic parameters.

[0172] A correspondence is established between each preset charging current, each preset charging temperature and each actual characteristic parameter under different health conditions, and the second calibration data can be formed based on these correspondences.

[0173] Based on the method described in steps 211 to 213, the second calibration data reflecting the corresponding relationship between different health states, different charging currents, different charging temperatures and different characteristic parameters can be accurately obtained through experiments.

[0174] Step 22: Based on the second calibration data and in accordance with the actual health state, the actual charging temperature and the actual charging current, obtain theoretical characteristic parameters.

[0175] Characteristic parameters corresponding to the actual health state, the actual charging current and the actual charging temperature are queried from the second calibration data as theoretical characteristic parameters.

[0176] In some cases, the second calibration data may only record a few discrete preset health states and their corresponding data (charging current, charging temperature and characteristic parameters). When querying according to the actual health state, the preset health state with the same value as the actual health state cannot be obtained. In this case, two preset health states adjacent to the actual health state can be obtained, and then the data corresponding to the two preset health states can be interpolated to obtain the charging current, charging temperature and characteristic parameters corresponding to the actual health state. For example, if the actual health state is 92%, the actual health state of 90% and 95% can be obtained and the data of the two can be interpolated.

[0177] Based on the method described in steps 21 to 22 above, the theoretical characteristic parameters of the lithium-ion battery can be quickly obtained using the second calibration data.

[0178] 2. Explain the above step S104.

[0179] In some implementations of the above step S104, Figure 5 The following steps S1041 to S1043 are used to determine whether lithium deposition occurs in the battery cell.

[0180] Step S1041: obtaining a voltage difference between the actual terminal voltage and the theoretical terminal voltage.

[0181] That is: voltage difference ΔU=U 实际 -U 理论 .

[0182] Step S1042: Based on the actual charging condition, a lithium deposition threshold value is obtained when the relaxation time after the cell charging is terminated reaches the actual relaxation time in the case of lithium deposition.

[0183] The lithium deposition threshold is a threshold value obtained by using charging data when the lithium-ion battery is charged under the same charging conditions and in the same health state without lithium deposition. The lithium deposition threshold is the threshold information of the voltage difference, that is, the lithium deposition threshold is the voltage difference threshold.

[0184] Step S1043: Determine whether lithium deposition occurs based on the comparison result between the voltage difference and the lithium deposition threshold. If the voltage difference is less than the lithium deposition threshold, it indicates that the voltage difference is relatively small, and the actual terminal voltage is the same as or relatively close to the theoretical terminal voltage. In this case, lithium deposition does not occur. Otherwise, lithium deposition occurs. In addition, the degree of difference between the voltage difference and the lithium deposition threshold can also indicate the degree of lithium deposition; if the degree of difference is relatively large, the degree of lithium deposition is relatively large, otherwise the degree of lithium deposition is relatively low. Therefore, based on the voltage difference and the lithium deposition threshold, the degree of lithium deposition can also be accurately analyzed.

[0185] Based on the method described in steps S1041 to S1043 above, the voltage difference between the actual terminal voltage and the theoretical terminal voltage can be used to accurately determine whether lithium deposition occurs in the lithium-ion battery and the extent of the deposition.

[0186] The method for obtaining the lithium deposition threshold in the above step S1042 is further described below.

[0187] In some embodiments of the above step S1042, the lithium deposition threshold when the relaxation time after the battery cell charging is terminated reaches the actual relaxation time can also be obtained respectively when each preset degree of lithium deposition occurs, instead of only obtaining one threshold for distinguishing whether lithium deposition occurs.

[0188] In this case, when executing step S1043 to determine whether lithium deposition occurs, it can be determined whether lithium deposition occurs to a corresponding degree based on the comparison result between the voltage difference and the lithium deposition threshold value when each preset degree of lithium deposition occurs.

[0189] In some embodiments, lithium plating thresholds Threshold1, Threshold2, and Threshold3 representing three degrees of mild, moderate, and severe can be obtained. If the voltage difference ΔU < Threshold1, it indicates that no lithium plating has occurred; if Threshold1 ≤ ΔU < Threshold2, it indicates that mild lithium plating has occurred; if Threshold2 ≤ ΔU < Threshold3, it indicates that moderate lithium plating has occurred; if ΔU ≥ Threshold3, it indicates that severe lithium plating has occurred.

[0190] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can flexibly set various different degrees of lithium plating according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention do not make specific limitations.

[0191] In some embodiments of the above step S1042, the actual charging conditions of the lithium-ion battery may include the actual charging temperature and the actual charging current. At this time, the lithium plating threshold can be obtained through the following steps 31 to step 32.

[0192] Step 31: Obtain the third calibration data between the preset charging temperature, charging current, relaxation time, and lithium plating threshold. The third calibration data records the corresponding relationship between different charging temperatures, different charging currents, different relaxation times, and different lithium plating thresholds, and this corresponding relationship can be recorded in the form of a table.

[0193] In this embodiment, the third calibration data can be pre-constructed, and when the lithium plating threshold needs to be obtained, the third calibration data can be directly called. In this embodiment, the third calibration data can be constructed or obtained through the following steps 311 to step 314.

[0194] Step 311: Obtain the first voltage curve of the first relaxation voltage during the relaxation process after the lithium-ion battery is charged to cut-off under different preset charging temperatures and different preset charging currents without lithium plating.

[0195] The preset charging temperatures include but are not limited to -20°C, 0°C, 15°C, 25°C, 35°C, and the preset charging currents include but are not limited to 0.5C, 1C, 1.5C, 2C.

[0196] Taking the charging temperature of -20°C as an example, in the case where no lithium plating occurs in the lithium-ion battery, the lithium-ion battery is charged with a charging current of 0.5C, and then the dynamic change curve of the first relaxation voltage during the relaxation process after charging to cut-off is obtained, that is, the first voltage curve. Similarly, in the case where no lithium plating occurs in the lithium-ion battery, the lithium-ion battery is charged with 1C, 1.5C, and 2C respectively, and the corresponding first voltage curves are obtained.

[0197] Step 312: Obtain a second voltage curve of a second relaxation voltage in the relaxation process after charging of the lithium-ion battery is terminated when lithium plating occurs and at different preset charging temperatures and different preset charging currents. This step is similar to the implementation process of step 311, the only difference being that this step is performed when lithium plating occurs. Further, when it is necessary to obtain the lithium plating threshold when multiple different preset degrees of lithium plating occur, the second voltage curve can be obtained when a preset degree of lithium plating occurs and at different preset charging temperatures and different preset charging currents. Based on this, the lithium plating threshold in the third calibration data can include the lithium plating threshold when the relaxation time after charging of the battery cell is terminated reaches the actual relaxation time when each preset degree of lithium plating occurs.

[0198] Step 313: Based on the first voltage curve and the second voltage curve, respectively obtain relaxation voltage differences between the first relaxation voltage and the second relaxation voltage at different preset relaxation times as lithium deposition thresholds.

[0199] The preset relaxation time includes but is not limited to 1000s, 2000s, 3000s, ..., 1400s, and 15000s. Taking the relaxation time of 1000s as an example, the first relaxation voltage corresponding to 1000s in the first voltage curve is obtained, the second relaxation voltage corresponding to 1000s in the second voltage curve is obtained, and then the voltage difference between the first and second relaxation voltages is obtained, and this voltage difference is used as the lithium precipitation threshold corresponding to the relaxation time of 1000s.

[0200] Step 314: Obtain third calibration data according to the preset charging temperature, the preset charging current, the preset relaxation time and the lithium deposition threshold.

[0201] A corresponding relationship is established between each preset charging temperature, each preset charging current, each preset relaxation time and each lithium precipitation threshold value, and the third calibration data can be formed based on these corresponding relationships.

[0202] Based on the method described in steps 311 to 314, the third calibration data reflecting the corresponding relationship between different charging temperatures, different charging currents, different relaxation times and different lithium precipitation thresholds can be accurately obtained by experiment.

[0203] Step 32: Based on the third calibration data and in accordance with the actual charging temperature, the actual charging current and the actual relaxation time, a lithium deposition threshold is obtained.

[0204] A lithium deposition threshold value corresponding to the actual charging temperature, the actual charging current and the actual relaxation time is queried from the third calibration data as the lithium deposition threshold value to be obtained.

[0205] Based on the method described in steps 31 to 32 above, the lithium plating threshold of the lithium-ion battery can be quickly obtained using the third calibration data.

[0206] In some implementations of the above step S104, Figure 6 The following steps S201 to S204 are shown to determine whether lithium deposition occurs in the battery cell.

[0207] Step S201: after determining that lithium deposition has occurred according to the actual terminal voltage and the theoretical terminal voltage in the current judgment cycle, obtaining judgment results of a plurality of previous continuous historical judgment cycles.

[0208] Step S202: determining that at least a preset number of the judgment results of a plurality of consecutive historical judgment cycles indicate that lithium deposition has occurred;

[0209] If so, it indicates that the possibility of misjudgment is low, and it can be determined that lithium deposition has indeed occurred in the battery cell, so it can be transferred to step S203; if not, it indicates that a misjudgment may have occurred. For example, if a data jump occurs when collecting current, voltage and other data, it may lead to a misjudgment, so it can be transferred to step S204.

[0210] Step S203: Determine whether lithium deposition occurs in the battery cell.

[0211] Step S204: determining that no lithium deposition occurs in the battery cell.

[0212] Based on the method described in steps S201 to S204 above, the judgment result of the historical judgment cycle can be used to correct the judgment result of the current judgment cycle to ensure the accuracy of lithium plating detection.

[0213] The following is combined with Figure 4 and attached Figure 7 , the technical effect of the lithium plating detection method for lithium-ion batteries provided by the present invention is explained.

[0214] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, if lithium plating does not occur during the charging process of the lithium-ion battery, after the charging is terminated Figure 4 The voltage of the two RC links in the RC equivalent circuit model will decrease according to the preset exponential curve ( Figure 7 (shown by the solid line in FIG), at this time, the theoretical terminal voltage U(t) calculated based on formula (3) is basically the same as the actual terminal voltage.

[0215] If lithium ions are deposited during the charging process of a lithium-ion battery, the metal deposited on the negative electrode of the lithium-ion battery will dissolve and embed into the interlayer of the negative electrode under the induction of concentration difference after the charging is terminated. This process will have the opposite effect of depolarization, causing the voltage of the entire battery to rise. The actual value of the voltage of the RC link ( Figure 7 The dotted line in the figure will deviate Figure 7 The voltage is shown by the solid line.

[0216] However, in practical applications, only when serious lithium deposition occurs can the deviation of the dotted line from the solid line be used to detect whether lithium deposition occurs. If serious lithium deposition does not occur, such as when only slight lithium deposition occurs, the deviation between the dotted line and the solid line is very small, and it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, so it is very likely to cause misjudgment. The lithium deposition detection method provided by the present invention can overcome the above problem, and even slight lithium deposition can be accurately detected.
