Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of lithium battery safety technology, and more specifically, relates to a method for designing a non-flammable phosphate electrolyte compatible with a graphite negative electrode using machine learning. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage. However, the electrolyte within the battery is highly flammable and volatile, leading to frequent lithium battery safety incidents caused by this electrolyte in recent years. The development of non-flammable electrolytes not only improves the intrinsic safety of batteries but also prevents fires from igniting adjacent batteries, reducing the risk of secondary disasters and ultimately enhancing the safety of batteries and energy storage systems.

[0003] Phosphate flame-retardant solvents are considered an ideal flame-retardant solvent for the development of non-flammable electrolytes due to their low cost, excellent flame retardancy, and compatibility with existing commercial carbonate electrolytes. However, phosphate flame retardants strongly interact with lithium ions, tending to form in the main solvation shell and participate in the formation of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. However, due to the poor electron shielding ability of their products, the SEI film formed is unable to effectively prevent the continued decomposition of the solvent, which in turn causes failure of the graphite anode. This has limited the development of phosphate-based non-flammable electrolytes. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0043] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for designing a non-flammable phosphate electrolyte compatible with a graphite negative electrode using machine learning provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes at least the following steps:

[0044] S101. Inputting fixed components contained in the target phosphate ester electrolyte into a machine learning model to obtain a first molar ratio critical value of the main solvent and the phosphate ester solvent in the target phosphate ester electrolyte.

[0045] The first molar ratio critical value is used to characterize the critical number of phosphate molecules allowed to exist in the target phosphate electrolyte when it is compatible with the graphite negative electrode.

[0046] Specifically, phosphate ester electrolytes use phosphate ester compounds as the primary solvent or additive. Phosphate ester compounds generally have good flame retardancy and exhibit good electrochemical stability at specific salt-to-solvent molar ratios. Phosphate ester electrolytes also form a SEI film on the surface of battery electrodes, which helps inhibit electrolyte decomposition and electrode corrosion.

[0047] However, phosphate flame retardants have strong interactions with lithium ions and are prone to appear in the main solvation structure shell and participate in the formation of SEI film. However, due to the poor ability of their products to shield electrons, the SEI film formed is difficult to effectively prevent the continuous decomposition of the solvent, thereby causing failure of the graphite negative electrode.

[0048] Optionally, whether the phosphate electrolyte is compatible with the graphite negative electrode is characterized by the performance parameters of the graphite negative electrode, which include the first-cycle charge and discharge efficiency of the graphite (i.e., coulombic efficiency), the reversible capacity of the graphite negative electrode during the cycle, and the capacity retention rate after a preset number of cycles.

[0049] The compatibility of phosphate ester electrolytes with graphite anodes is related to the number of phosphate ester molecules in the electrolyte. Currently, the following method is generally used to obtain the critical number of phosphate ester molecules for a phosphate ester electrolyte with a fixed composition that is compatible with a graphite anode: evaluate the compatibility of multiple groups of phosphate ester electrolytes with the same composition but different ratios with the graphite anode, and observe the initial coulombic efficiency, reversible capacity and capacity retention rate of the graphite anode during the cycle; then use Raman spectroscopy to analyze the number of phosphate ester molecules in phosphate ester electrolytes with different ratios, construct binary data (performance parameters of the graphite anode, number of phosphate ester molecules), and select the critical number of phosphate ester molecules for the phosphate ester electrolyte containing the current composition.

[0050] However, the cycle of manual screening is long, the process is cumbersome, and the result error is large. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, it is considered to use machine learning to clarify the physicochemical properties of the solvent and the interaction between the solvent and lithium ions. At the same time, since the statistics of the critical number of phosphate molecules require strict variable control of phosphate electrolytes with different ratios, the embodiment of the present application considers characterizing the critical number of phosphate molecules by the critical value of the molar ratio between the main solvent and the phosphate solvent in the phosphate electrolyte (denoted as the first molar ratio critical value), thereby reducing statistical requirements and complexity.

[0051] When the molar ratio of the main solvent to the phosphate ester solvent in the target phosphate ester electrolyte is greater than or equal to the first molar ratio critical value, it indicates that the target phosphate ester electrolyte is compatible with the graphite anode. Therefore, constraints can be set based on the first molar ratio critical value to participate in solving the optimal ratio of the phosphate ester electrolyte compatible with the graphite anode.

[0052] The machine learning model is pre-trained to learn the mapping relationship between the components of phosphate ester electrolytes with different compositions and the critical first molar ratio of the main solvent to the phosphate ester solvent when compatible with a graphite anode. The fixed components of the target phosphate ester electrolyte are input into the trained machine learning model, and the machine learning model outputs the critical first molar ratio of the main solvent to the phosphate ester solvent in the target phosphate ester electrolyte, which represents the critical number of phosphate molecules allowed to be present in the target phosphate ester electrolyte when compatible with a graphite anode.

[0053] Optionally, when the target phosphate electrolyte is compatible with the graphite negative electrode, it meets the following requirements: the first cycle charge and discharge efficiency of the graphite is ≥85%, the reversible capacity of the graphite negative electrode during the cycle is ≥360mAh / g, and the capacity retention rate of the graphite negative electrode after 100 cycles is ≥90%.

[0054] S102. Set constraints and optimization goals.

[0055] Setting constraints includes: setting a first constraint that the target phosphate electrolyte is compatible with the graphite negative electrode based on a first molar ratio critical value, setting a second constraint based on the flame retardancy of the target phosphate electrolyte, and setting a third constraint based on the ionic conductivity of the target phosphate electrolyte.

[0056] Optimization goals are set, including: maximizing the graphite negative electrode compatibility of the target phosphate ester electrolyte as a first optimization goal, maximizing the flame retardancy of the target phosphate ester electrolyte as a second optimization goal, and maximizing the ion transport capacity of the target phosphate ester electrolyte as a third optimization goal.

[0057] S103. Construct a phosphate electrolyte ratio optimization model based on the set constraints and optimization objectives.

[0058] Specifically, in the design process of non-flammable phosphate electrolyte compatible with graphite negative electrode, the phosphate electrolyte is pursued to have graphite negative electrode compatibility, flame retardancy (non-flammability) and fast ion transport capability. Based on this, constraints and optimization goals are set, and a phosphate electrolyte ratio optimization model with multiple constraints and multiple optimization goals is constructed.

[0059] The phosphate electrolyte's graphite anode compatibility and flame retardancy conflict, making it impossible to maximize both simultaneously. A trade-off is necessary. Ionic conductivity refers to the ability of ions in an electrolyte salt to conduct current, reflecting the rate and efficiency of ion migration. Generally speaking, higher ionic conductivity indicates faster ion migration in the electrolyte, better ion transport capacity, and better conductivity.

[0060] S104. Solve the phosphate ester electrolyte formula optimization model to determine the optimal ratio of the target phosphate ester electrolyte.

[0061] Specifically, by solving a phosphate ester electrolyte formulation optimization model with multiple constraints and multiple optimization objectives, the optimal ratio of the phosphate ester electrolyte containing fixed components is obtained.

[0062] A multi-constraint, multi-optimization objective phosphate ester electrolyte formulation optimization model includes multiple constraints and multiple optimization objectives, where the first optimization objective conflicts with the second. Various solutions are available, including weighted methods, Pareto optimality, genetic algorithms, and particle swarm optimization.

[0063] Preferably, the second-generation Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is used to solve the multi-constraint, multi-optimization objective phosphate electrolyte formulation optimization model. The core concept of the NSGA-II algorithm is to use a genetic algorithm to find the Pareto frontier of a multi-objective optimization problem. First, the population is non-dominated sorted, that is, the population is stratified according to the dominance relationship between the solutions. Then, the crowding ratio is used to maintain the diversity of the population, ensuring that the algorithm can search for a uniformly distributed Pareto optimal solution set.

[0064] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for designing a non-flammable phosphate electrolyte compatible with a graphite negative electrode using machine learning. The first molar ratio critical value of the main solvent and the phosphate solvent in the target phosphate electrolyte containing fixed components is obtained through a machine learning model to characterize the critical number of phosphate molecules allowed to exist in the target phosphate electrolyte under the condition of compatibility with the graphite negative electrode; at the same time, considering the graphite negative electrode compatibility, flame retardancy and ion transport capacity of the target phosphate electrolyte, constraints and optimization objectives are set, and a phosphate electrolyte ratio optimization model with multiple constraints and multiple optimization objectives is constructed. The model is solved to obtain the optimal ratio of the target phosphate electrolyte when taking into account the graphite negative electrode compatibility, flame retardancy and ion transport capacity.

[0065] In some embodiments, the machine learning model in S101 is trained based on the following steps:

[0066] Obtaining the molar ratio of the main solvent to the phosphate ester solvent in non-flammable phosphate ester electrolyte samples containing different components and different ratios, as well as the corresponding performance parameters of the graphite anode;

[0067] Based on the performance parameters of the graphite anode, the critical value of the first molar ratio of the main solvent to the phosphate ester solvent in the non-flammable phosphate ester electrolyte samples containing different components is determined to construct training samples;

[0068] A machine learning model is trained based on the training samples to learn the mapping relationship between the components contained in the non-flammable phosphate electrolyte sample and the first molar ratio critical value.

[0069] Specifically, the machine learning model is obtained through pre-training, and the general process of pre-training is: to obtain as many numbers of phosphate molecules as possible of non-flammable phosphate electrolyte samples containing different components and different proportions, as well as the performance parameters of the corresponding graphite negative electrode. Since only non-flammable phosphate electrolytes are subsequently screened and optimized, only non-flammable phosphate electrolyte samples are counted during the pre-training stage of machine learning. Optionally, whether the phosphate electrolyte sample is flammable can be evaluated by an ignition test. Optionally, the number of phosphate molecules can be obtained by Raman spectroscopy analysis. Specifically, statistics can be performed through a ternary array (non-flammability of the phosphate electrolyte, performance parameters of the graphite negative electrode, and number of phosphate molecules).

[0070] To reduce statistical requirements, the critical number of phosphate molecules is characterized by the critical value of the molar ratio between the main solvent and the phosphate ester solvent (i.e., the first molar ratio critical value). The performance parameters of the graphite anode are observed, and the first molar ratio critical value of the main solvent and the phosphate ester solvent in non-flammable phosphate ester electrolyte samples with different components is determined to construct a training sample. The performance parameters of each non-flammable phosphate ester electrolyte sample are observed, including the first-cycle charge and discharge efficiency of graphite, the reversible capacity of the graphite anode during cycling, and the capacity retention rate.

[0071] A machine learning model is trained based on the training samples to learn the mapping relationship between the components of the non-flammable phosphate ester electrolyte and the first molar ratio critical value. It is conceivable that, under the premise of strictly controlling the solvent solute content of the non-flammable phosphate ester electrolyte sample, the machine learning model can also be directly used to learn the mapping relationship between the components contained in the non-flammable phosphate ester electrolyte sample and the critical number of phosphate ester molecules.

[0072] In some embodiments, the phosphate electrolyte comprises a lithium salt, an organic non-flammable phosphate solvent, an organic carbonate solvent A, a low-viscosity organic carbonate solvent B, and additives, wherein the organic carbonate solvent A is used as the main solvent.

[0073] Optionally, the graphite anode compatibility of the target phosphate ester electrolyte is characterized by a first molar ratio critical value between the organic carbonate solvent A and the organic non-flammable phosphate ester solvent. When the molar ratio of the organic carbonate solvent A to the organic non-flammable phosphate ester solvent in the target phosphate ester electrolyte is greater than or equal to the first molar ratio critical value, the target phosphate ester electrolyte is considered compatible with the graphite anode. Thus, the first constraint condition is set as: the molar ratio of the organic carbonate solvent A to the organic non-flammable phosphate ester solvent in the target phosphate ester electrolyte is greater than or equal to the first molar ratio critical value.

[0074] Optionally, the flame retardancy of the target phosphate ester electrolyte is characterized by a second molar ratio critical value of the low-viscosity organic carbonate solvent B and the organic non-flammable phosphate ester solvent. When the flame retardancy of the target phosphate ester electrolyte is characterized by a molar ratio of the low-viscosity organic carbonate solvent B to the organic non-flammable phosphate ester solvent being less than or equal to the second molar ratio critical value, the target phosphate ester electrolyte is considered non-flammable. Thus, the second constraint condition is set as: the molar ratio of the low-viscosity organic carbonate solvent B to the organic non-flammable phosphate ester solvent in the target phosphate ester electrolyte is less than or equal to the second molar ratio critical value.

[0075] Optionally, the ionic conductivity of the target phosphate ester electrolyte is characterized by a third molar ratio critical value of the lithium salt and the organic non-flammable phosphate ester solvent. When the molar ratio of the lithium salt to the organic non-flammable phosphate ester solvent in the target phosphate ester electrolyte is less than or equal to the third molar ratio critical value, the target phosphate ester electrolyte is considered to have fast ion transport capability. Therefore, the third constraint condition is set as: the molar ratio of the lithium salt to the organic non-flammable phosphate ester solvent in the target phosphate ester electrolyte is less than or equal to the third molar ratio critical value.

[0076] The second molar ratio critical value and the third molar ratio critical value are preset.

[0077] Optionally, the lithium salt is at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium difluorophosphate, lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, lithium tetrafluoroborate, and lithium bis(oxalatoborate). Optionally, the concentration of the lithium salt is 0.8 to 2.0 mol / L.

[0078] Optionally, the organic non-flammable phosphate solvent has the general structural formula:

[0079]

[0080] wherein R1 and R2 are each independently one of an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and a haloalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and R3 is an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

[0081] Optionally, the organic carbonate solvent A is at least one of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, and fluoroethylene carbonate.

[0082] Optionally, the low-viscosity organic carbonate solvent B is at least one of dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, dipropyl carbonate, methyl trifluoroethyl carbonate, and bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) carbonate.

[0083] Optionally, the additive is at least one of ethylene carbonate, 1,3-propane sultone, bromobenzene, hexafluorobenzene, bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl methyl ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether, tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)orthoformate, 1H,1H,5H-octafluoropentyl-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether, 1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, hexafluorocyclotriphosphazene, ethoxy(pentafluoro)cyclotriphosphazene, lithium difluorooxalatoborate, lithium dioxalatoborate, vinyl sulfate, 1,3-propane sultone, and lithium difluorodioxyphosphazene.
