Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of lithium-sulfur batteries, and particularly relates to a lithium-sulfur battery system with constant voltage output and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion battery is a kind of green renewable energy, and is one of the research focuses in the current battery field. However, the theoretical capacity of the positive electrode material of the traditional lithium ion battery is low, and the cost is high, which is difficult to meet the demand for high-performance lithium batteries. Therefore, in recent years, the lithium-sulfur battery system has attracted the attention of scientific researchers. Compared with the traditional lithium ion battery, the lithium-sulfur battery has higher theoretical specific capacity and theoretical energy density, and has the advantages of rich sulfur reserves and low price, and is considered as one of the most potential batteries, which can be widely applied in portable electronic products, electric vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicle applications and other fields.

[0003] Although lithium-sulfur battery has many advantages, it still faces many technical problems in commercial applications, such as low life caused by polysulfide shuttle effect, low utilization of sulfur positive electrode and large volume expansion effect, etc. In order to accelerate the industrialization application of lithium-sulfur battery, it is necessary to carry out appropriate application level research outside the lithium-sulfur battery material layer to overcome these bottlenecks. From the application level, the voltage characteristics and discharge behavior of lithium-sulfur battery are different from those of traditional lithium-ion battery. The open-circuit voltage of lithium-sulfur battery can reach more than 3 V. In the actual use process as a power supply, the voltage window of lithium-sulfur battery is generally 1.7 V~3.0 V, and its voltage-capacity curve has two platforms. In the discharge process, the first discharge platform appears at about 2.3 V, and the corresponding first-stage electrochemical reaction is that sulfur is reduced to long-chain polysulfide by getting electrons. Although the conductivity of elemental sulfur and long-chain polysulfide is very low, Li2S8, Li2S6 and Li2S4 can be dissolved in electrolyte and will not affect the electrochemical reaction after elemental sulfur, so the reaction rate of the first stage is very fast, and the capacity provided by this process can account for one-fourth of the theoretical capacity. The long discharge platform at about 2.1 V corresponds to the second stage of the discharge process. This process converts long-chain polysulfide into Li2S2 and Li2S which are insoluble in electrolyte and deposited on the surface of conductive material. The dynamics performance of this process is poor, mainly because the conductivity of Li2S2 and Li2S is extremely low and attached to the surface of the conductive material, which reduces the electron transport capacity and slows down the reaction kinetics. At the end of the reaction, it also causes very large polarization, and lithium-sulfur battery shows very fast pressure drop, which appears as a relatively flat discharge curve at about 2.1 V on the voltage-capacity curve, and then the voltage drops significantly. The capacity provided by the second-stage reaction accounts for three-fourths of the theoretical capacity and is the main contribution to the capacity of lithium-sulfur battery. It can be seen that compared with the relatively stable voltage output of lithium-ion battery, the voltage fluctuation of lithium-sulfur battery is large and changes quickly, which puts high requirements on the power equipment using lithium-sulfur battery.

[0004] There are many components in electrical equipment, most of which require a stable voltage from the power supply. The stability of the power supply voltage is also a key factor for the smooth use of the power supply. For example, the flight control system of a drone relies on precise electronic components, including microcontrollers, sensors, and communication modules. These components usually require a stable power supply. If the voltage is unstable, it may cause the system to restart, communication to be interrupted, or even the drone to lose control. In addition, other portable electronic devices such as tablets and wearable devices are also sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Voltage instability can cause devices to malfunction or even damage hardware. At the same time, due to the limited voltage and capacity of lithium-sulfur single batteries, it is necessary to form a series-parallel battery pack for use in many cases. In the application of power battery packs and energy storage systems, it is common to have hundreds of series-connected batteries. Any problem with a single battery in a series of hundreds of batteries can have serious consequences for the battery pack. Since it is difficult to achieve complete consistency in series-connected single batteries, this can cause voltage inconsistencies in single batteries during charging and discharging, leading to large changes in the output voltage of the entire battery pack, and even safety hazards. There is not much research on lithium-sulfur battery systems in the existing technology. Most research still only involves lithium-sulfur battery materials, such as CN104054209A, which discloses a water-based electrolyte lithium-sulfur battery with an anode structure containing an electrically active material, a cathode containing a solid-state electron transfer medium, a water-based electrolyte in contact with the electron transfer medium, and an active sulfur species in contact with the water-based electrolyte. The anode electrically active material is separated from the water-based electrolyte. The combination of water-based electrolyte and inexpensive sulfur as cathode active material can be a key driver for the power and automotive industries, providing a cost-effective and miniaturized solution for load balancing, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage. CN118100334A discloses a charging equalization control circuit for a lithium-sulfur battery. During initial charging, the charging control chip MCU first outputs a pulse signal, which is converted into a voltage signal by the drive chip and output to the charging equalization circuit. The charging circuit drives the MOSFET tube to conduct based on this voltage signal, and the equalization circuit starts working. The charging management chip MCU collects the battery voltage signal in real time, and when the battery voltage reaches the charging cutoff voltage, the charging control chip MCU changes the output pulse signal to drive the MOSFET tube to close, i.e. the charging current does not pass through this single battery, preventing battery overcharging and solving the problem of inconsistent voltage when charging a lithium-sulfur battery pack in series. This can increase the overall charging capacity of the battery pack and greatly improve the service life of the battery pack.CN108551260A discloses a power management circuit and power management board for small and medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicle development board, the power management circuit includes toggle switch, filter circuit, voltage conversion module, voltage stabilizing circuit and resistance voltage dividing circuit, the toggle switch is arranged between the power input end and the filter circuit, the voltage stabilizing circuit is arranged between the voltage conversion module and the resistance voltage dividing circuit, the voltage conversion module is a power converter chip, and the voltage conversion module has a first to fifth pin, wherein the first pin is grounded, the fourth pin is connected with a first capacitor, the fifth pin is connected with an input voltage end, the third pin is a switch node for providing power to an output, the third pin is connected with the voltage stabilizing circuit and provides power output, and the second pin is connected with the resistance voltage dividing circuit so as to detect the output voltage and adjust the output voltage.

[0005] Although there are many studies on lithium ion battery modules at present, the electrochemical characteristics of lithium-sulfur batteries are different from those of traditional lithium ion batteries, and the voltage platform of lithium-sulfur batteries is special. The charge and discharge cutoff voltage of lithium-sulfur batteries is completely different from that of lithium ion batteries. The system control method applied to traditional lithium ion batteries in the market is difficult to be directly used in lithium-sulfur batteries, which greatly hinders the promotion and large-scale application of lithium-sulfur batteries. Therefore, in order to effectively promote the commercial application of lithium-sulfur batteries and realize the replacement of traditional lithium ion batteries, a lithium-sulfur battery system suitable for various application scenarios and having constant voltage output must be developed.
