TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium battery charging, in particular to a lithium battery adaptive charging method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium batteries are rechargeable batteries widely used in electronic devices, electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and other fields. Lithium batteries are known for their high energy density, light weight, and long life, making them one of the most commonly used battery types in modern electronic products. The SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interphase) layer is a solid-state electrolyte interface layer that forms on the surface of the negative electrode of a lithium battery, especially when the negative electrode material comes into contact with the electrolyte. The SEI layer is formed during the first charging process. The SEI layer is crucial to the life of a lithium battery, as it has a significant impact on the battery's cycle performance, capacity retention, and battery life. A stable SEI layer can protect the negative electrode material, reduce electrolyte decomposition and lithium ion loss, thereby extending the battery life. However, if the SEI layer is unstable or overgrown, it will consume active lithium ions, leading to capacity loss and shortening the battery life.

[0003] Lithium batteries exhibit different electrochemical reaction rates and side reactions under different usage conditions, such as SEI layer formation and electrolyte decomposition. These reactions can cause battery capacity to decay, internal resistance to increase, and battery life to shorten. Adaptive charging technology can adjust the charging current and voltage in real time according to the actual operating state of the battery, avoiding overcharging, overheating, and other phenomena, reducing stress and side reactions on battery materials, and maintaining an efficient and safe charging process. By precisely controlling the charging process, adaptive charging not only extends the life of the battery, but also improves charging efficiency, meeting the demand for fast and safe charging in modern devices, especially in scenarios such as electric vehicles that require long life and high efficiency. In addition, adaptive charging can reduce energy loss and optimize charging time, achieving the best charging performance while ensuring battery safety.

[0032] Referring to the drawings attached Figure 1 , a flowchart of a lithium battery adaptive charging method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0033] An embodiment of the present application provides a lithium battery adaptive charging method, which can be implemented by a lithium battery adaptive charging device, which can be a terminal or a server. The processing flow of the lithium battery adaptive charging method can include the following steps:

[0034] S1: Establish a state of charge equation describing the change of the lithium battery electric quantity with the charging current.

[0035] Wherein, the charging current is the current flowing into the battery during the charging process, which represents the amount of electric charge passing through the battery per unit time. The size of the charging current determines the charging speed. The greater the current, the faster the charging speed. However, excessive current can cause damage to the battery. The electric quantity of the lithium battery and the state of charge (SOC) have a close relationship. The electric quantity represents the remaining electric energy in the battery, while the state of charge is a percentage form describing the proportion of the remaining electric quantity of the battery to the total capacity of the battery. By establishing the state of charge equation, the remaining electric quantity of the lithium battery can be monitored in real time, and it can be determined whether the battery is fully charged to avoid overcharging or overdischarging, thereby protecting the battery, prolonging the service life, and optimizing the charging process.

[0036] In a possible implementation, the state of charge equation is specifically:

[0037]

[0038] Wherein, SOC and SOC 0 respectively represent the state of charge and the initial state of charge, t and t 0 respectively represent the current time and the charging start time, I represents the charging current, represents the maximum charge capacity of the lithium battery.

[0039] wherein the maximum charge capacity of the lithium battery refers to the maximum amount of electric charge that the lithium battery can store and release under specific conditions.

[0040] It should be noted that establishing this state of charge equation accurately calculates the state of charge of the battery through integration of the charging current, allowing real-time monitoring of the remaining battery capacity and ensuring the accuracy of the charging process, avoiding overcharging or undercharging, and improving the safety and service life of the battery. At the same time, this equation can help optimize the charging strategy, making the charging process more efficient.

[0041] S2: Calculate the anode current density and cathode current density of the lithium battery under the charging current.

[0042] wherein the anode current density represents the amount of electric current flowing through the anode of the battery per unit area per unit time, reflecting the amount of charge carried by the anode during charging. The cathode current density represents the amount of electric current flowing through the cathode of the battery per unit area per unit time, reflecting the rate of charge transfer of the cathode. Current density is a key factor affecting charging efficiency and battery degradation, and in order to optimize the charging current, the reaction current density of the anode and cathode needs to be understood first. By calculating the current density of the anode and cathode, it can help optimize the distribution of charging current, avoid excessive current concentration on a certain pole, prevent damage to battery materials, improve charging efficiency and prolong battery life.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the anode current density and cathode current density are respectively:

[0044]

[0045] wherein, and represent the anode current density and cathode current density respectively, F represents the Faraday constant, and represent the specific surface area and thickness of the lithium battery cathode respectively, and represent the specific surface area and thickness of the lithium battery anode respectively.

[0046] wherein the specific surface area refers to the surface area per unit volume or unit mass of the lithium battery electrode material. The thickness refers to the physical thickness of the lithium battery anode or cathode material. By calculating the current density of the anode and cathode through the specific surface area and thickness, the distribution of current on the electrode can be more accurately described, helping to optimize the charging current.

[0047] S3: Combine the anode current density and cathode current density, and use the BV kinetics equation describing the charge transfer process to determine the internal charging voltage of the lithium battery under the charging current.

[0048] The Butler-Volmer kinetic equation (BV) describes the relationship between electrode reaction rate and electrode potential. It states that the current density at an electrode depends on the magnitude of the overpotential, and the kinetics of an electrochemical reaction are determined by the difference between the forward and reverse reaction rates. This equation is widely used to describe charge transfer processes in electrochemical systems such as batteries and fuel cells. The internal charge voltage refers to the actual voltage within the battery (primarily between the positive and negative electrodes) during charging. It includes the voltage generated during the electrochemical reaction, the internal resistance of each material, and the polarization voltage. Unlike the externally measured voltage, the internal charge voltage reflects the true internal operating state of the battery. By combining the positive and negative electrode current densities with the BV kinetic equation, accurate calculation of the internal charge voltage of a lithium battery can help optimize the charging process, avoid battery damage caused by excessive voltage, and improve charging safety and efficiency. Specifically, it constrains the battery voltage during charging to prevent overcharge damage.

[0049] In a possible implementation, S3 specifically includes:

[0050] S301: Establish BV kinetic equation:

[0051]

[0052] in, and Respectively k The electrode reaction current density and k The electrode standard reaction current density is the exchange current density, sinh represents the hyperbolic sine function, represents the gas constant, T represents absolute temperature, 、 and Respectively k The solid phase potential, liquid phase potential and open circuit potential of the electrode, where k represents an indicator variable, k = pos or neg ,when k = pos When it indicates the positive electrode of lithium battery, k = neg When indicates the negative pole of lithium battery.

[0053] in, It is the actual reaction current density on the electrode. It indicates the amount of current occurring per unit time on the electrode per unit area during the actual electrochemical reaction, that is, the reaction rate. is the reaction current density under standard state, also known as exchange current density, which represents the current density when the forward reaction and reverse reaction rates on the electrode are equal without external potential difference (i.e. the electrode is in open circuit state). Among them, the solid phase potential refers to the potential of the solid conductor in the positive or negative material of the lithium battery, the liquid phase potential refers to the potential in the electrolyte, that is, the potential of lithium ion migration in the electrolyte, and the open circuit potential refers to the electrode potential of the battery when no current passes through (i.e. the open circuit state of the battery). By establishing the BV kinetic equation, the current density change in the positive and negative electrode reaction process of the lithium battery can be accurately described, the electrochemical reaction kinetics is revealed, the charging strategy is optimized, and the charging and discharging performance of the battery is improved.

[0054] S302: Invert the BV kinetic equation to solve the positive and negative solid phase potentials of the lithium battery:

[0055]

[0056] wherein, represents the inverse function of the hyperbolic sine function, and respectively represent the positive electrode current density and the positive electrode standard exchange current density.

[0057] It should be noted that by inverting the BV kinetic equation to solve the solid phase potential of the electrode, the potential distribution inside the battery can be obtained, and the actual working state of the battery during charging can be more accurately understood.

[0058] S303: Calculate the internal charging voltage according to the positive and negative solid phase potentials:

[0059]

[0060] wherein, represents the internal charging voltage, and respectively represent the positive and negative solid phase potentials.

[0061] It can be understood that the internal charging voltage can be calculated according to the solid phase potentials of the positive and negative electrodes, which can more comprehensively understand the internal voltage change of the battery, avoid overcharging of the battery at high voltage, and thus protect the safety of the battery.

[0062] S304: Substitute the positive and negative current densities into the internal charging voltage to obtain the internal charging voltage under the charging current:

[0063]

[0064] wherein, represents the open circuit voltage of the lithium battery, R represents the internal resistance of the lithium battery, and Istand and Istand represent the standard current of the positive electrode and the standard current of the negative electrode of the lithium battery, respectively.

[0065] Specifically, steps S301-S304 describe the current density change in the electrode reaction using the BV kinetics equation, solve the electrode solid phase potential after reversing the equation, and further calculate the internal charging voltage. By substituting the positive and negative electrode current density, the internal charging voltage model is further optimized, so as to accurately reflect the voltage change of the lithium battery under different charging conditions. This process aims to ensure the stability and safety of the battery during charging, while optimizing the charging speed and efficiency, and reducing the damage of the battery caused by overcharging.

[0066] S4: Determine the SEI layer overpotential related to the SEI layer generation rate.

[0067] Wherein, the SEI layer is a key factor affecting the aging of the battery, and the generated SEI layer will consume lithium, leading to loss of battery capacity. The higher the overpotential, the faster the SEI layer is generated. In order to prolong the life of the battery, the most important goal is to minimize the capacity loss caused by the generation of SEI layer. SEI layer overpotential refers to the difference between the electrode potential and its equilibrium potential when the negative electrode of the lithium battery contacts with the electrolyte and forms a solid electrolyte interface layer. Overpotential is the additional energy required for electrochemical reaction, which usually leads to the occurrence of side reactions, such as electrolyte decomposition and SEI layer generation.

[0068] It should be noted that by determining the overpotential related to the SEI layer generation rate, the side reactions of the battery during charging can be effectively monitored and controlled, the excessive generation of SEI layer can be reduced, the excessive consumption of lithium ions can be avoided, the battery life can be prolonged, and the charging efficiency and safety can be improved.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the SEI layer overpotential is specifically:

[0070]

[0071] Wherein, represents the SEI layer side reaction current density, represents the SEI layer side reaction exchange current density, represents the SEI layer overpotential, n represents the number of electron transfer, represents the SEI layer impedance, represents the SEI layer potential, represents the electrochemical transfer coefficient, and exp represents the exponential function, represents the open circuit potential of the negative electrode of the lithium battery, represents the Faraday current density of the negative electrode of the lithium battery, represents the overpotential of the lithium battery negative electrode, represents the exchange current density of the lithium battery negative electrode.

[0072] wherein SEI layer side reaction current density is the current density generated by the SEI layer (solid-state electrolyte interface), and the electrochemical transfer coefficient determines how the activation energy barrier of the reaction changes with the change of the electrode potential, which indicates that the reaction process is relatively symmetrical in the charge transfer reaction of the anode and the cathode, and when the electrode potential changes, the energy barrier (activation energy barrier) required for the reaction will also change, if the electrode potential increases, it may reduce the energy required for the reaction, making the reaction more likely to occur, and vice versa. The electrochemical transfer coefficient determines the speed and amplitude of this change. By calculating the SEI layer overpotential, the occurrence of side reactions can be accurately predicted, the generation conditions of the SEI layer can be optimized, and the consumption of lithium ions caused by excessive generation can be avoided, thereby reducing the loss of battery capacity, prolonging the life of the battery, and maintaining the stability of the battery performance, effectively improving the charging efficiency and safety.

[0073] S5: According to the SEI layer overpotential, calculate the SEI layer generation current related to the charging current.

[0074] wherein the SEI layer generation current refers to the current generated by the side reaction on the negative electrode surface to generate the solid-state electrolyte interface layer during the charging process of the lithium battery, this current is related to the generation rate of the SEI layer, and excessive SEI layer generation current means that the side reaction on the negative electrode surface is relatively strong, resulting in more consumption of lithium ions and electrolyte, affecting the battery capacity. By calculating the SEI layer generation current related to the charging current, the strength of the side reaction can be accurately evaluated, helping to optimize the charging current, reduce excessive consumption of lithium ions, prevent excessive generation of the SEI layer, thereby prolonging the life of the battery and improving the safety and efficiency of the charging process.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the SEI layer generation current is specifically:

[0076]

[0077] wherein, represents the SEI layer generation current, represents the SEI layer side reaction exchange current, represents the reference potential of the SEI layer side reaction.

[0078] It should be noted that by calculating the SEI layer generation current in this way, the dynamic process of the SEI layer side reaction can be accurately reflected, considering factors such as potential difference and temperature, so as to better control the generation rate of the SEI layer, reduce the capacity loss caused by the side reaction of the battery, prolong the life of the battery, and optimize the charging efficiency and safety.

[0079] S6: Establish a relationship function between SEI layer generation current and capacity loss of lithium battery.

[0080] wherein the capacity loss of lithium battery refers to the phenomenon that the amount of charge that the battery can store and release gradually decreases as the number of uses increases. By establishing a relationship function between SEI layer generation current and capacity loss of lithium battery, the capacity loss mechanism caused by side reactions can be clearly determined, helping to accurately predict the degree of battery aging, optimize charging strategies, reduce capacity decay, thereby prolonging the service life of the battery and maintaining performance stability.

[0081] In one possible implementation, the relationship function is specifically:

[0082]

[0083] wherein, represents the capacity loss.

[0084] It should be noted that by establishing a relationship function between SEI layer generation current and capacity loss in this way, the battery capacity loss caused by side reactions can be directly quantified, the battery decay rate can be accurately predicted, which helps to optimize the charging strategy, reduce the battery capacity loss, thereby prolonging the service life of the battery and improving the stability and reliability of the battery performance.

[0085] S7: Establish a linear decay equation for charging current.

[0086] It should be noted that the linear decay strategy can maintain a high charging current in the early stage of charging to speed up the charging speed, and gradually reduce the charging current when the battery is close to full to avoid excessive stress and side reactions on the battery caused by high current, reducing damage to the battery. By establishing a linear decay equation for charging current, efficient and safe balance can be achieved during the charging process, ensuring the speed of charging and preventing overheating and side reactions caused by high current when close to full, protecting the service life of the battery and improving the safety of charging.

[0087] In one possible implementation, the linear decay equation for charging current is specifically:

[0088]

[0089] wherein, I 1 represents the initial charging current, represents the decay rate of charging current.

[0090] It should be noted that establishing a linear decay equation for charging current can gradually reduce the charging current during the charging process, avoid long-time charging of the battery under high current, reduce the occurrence of battery heating and side reactions, thereby reducing damage to the battery, prolonging the service life of the battery, and improving the safety and stability of the charging process.

[0091] S8: combine the charging current decay equation, establish a charging current optimization equation with the minimum capacity loss as the target, with the lithium battery power reaching the expected lithium battery power, the internal charging voltage being lower than the expected charging voltage, and the charging time being less than the expected charging time as constraints, and solve the charging current optimization equation to obtain the expected charging current.

[0092] It should be noted that by constructing the charging current optimization equation for minimizing capacity loss, the capacity loss can be effectively reduced while ensuring the safety and charging efficiency of the battery, avoiding the impact of overcharging or long-time charging on the battery life, thereby improving the overall service life and performance of the battery.

[0093] In one possible implementation, the charging current optimization equation is specifically:

[0094]

[0095] where min represents taking the minimum value, represents the constraint condition, represents the state of charge at the maximum charging time represents the charging time of the lithium battery under constant current and constant voltage charging, i.e. the expected charging time, represents the maximum allowed charging voltage of the lithium battery, i.e. the expected charging voltage, represents the maximum allowed charging current of the lithium battery, represents the maximum state of charge, represents the expected charging current. It should be noted that through this charging current optimization equation, the capacity loss due to the generation of the SEI layer can be minimized while ensuring that the lithium battery reaches the target state of charge within the expected time. At the same time, the equation constrains the battery current, voltage and charging time, ensuring a safe and efficient charging process. The optimization equation also considers the linear decay of the charging current, making the charging process more stable, reducing the impact on the battery life, and improving the charging efficiency and service life of the battery. The expected charging current can be obtained by simple arithmetic calculation of the formula.

[0096] S9: charge the lithium battery with the expected charging current.

[0097]

[0098] ​In practical application, the lithium battery adaptive charging process first monitors the battery power in real time through the state of charge equation to ensure the accuracy of the charging process. Then the current density of the positive and negative electrodes is calculated, the internal charging voltage during charging is determined by combining the BV kinetics equation, and the SEI layer overpotential calculation related to the SEI layer generation current is determined. Then, the relationship function between the SEI layer generation current and the capacity loss is established, the capacity loss of the battery is calculated, and the charging current is optimized by combining the linear decay equation. Finally, the minimum capacity loss is taken as the target to ensure the efficiency and safety of the battery charging. By optimizing the charging current and controlling the generation of the SEI layer, the battery aging caused by excessive current density is avoided. The linear decay charging strategy can balance the charging speed and battery life to ensure the safe completion of the battery charging in a high efficiency.

[0099] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0100] In the present application, a state of charge equation describing the change of lithium battery power with charging current is established, and the BV kinetics equation describing the charge transfer process is used to determine the internal charging voltage of the lithium battery under the charging current. Then the SEI layer overpotential and SEI layer generation current closely related to the SEI layer generation rate are determined, the SEI layer generation process is dataized, and the lithium battery capacity loss is solved to effectively suppress the generation by controlling the charging current. A charging current linear decay equation is established to quickly solve the charging current, increase the response speed of the charging current regulation, and then combine the charging current optimization equation with the minimum capacity loss as the target, the lithium battery power reaching the expected lithium battery power, the internal charging voltage being lower than the expected charging voltage, and the charging time being less than the expected charging time as constraints. The charging current is quickly adjusted to the expected charging current without overcharging and exceeding the traditional constant current constant voltage charging time, effectively avoiding the excessive generation of the SEI layer, reducing the lithium battery capacity loss during the charging process without losing the charging efficiency, and improving the lithium battery charging safety and lithium battery life.
