[0002] With the widespread application of lithium-ion batteries in consumer electronics, transportation, and energy storage, improving the energy density, cycle life, and safety of batteries has become a research focus. The performance of lithium-ion batteries is not only affected by electrochemical reactions, but also closely related to the mechanical stress in the battery structure. During the charging and discharging process, lithium ions are embedded and de-embedded between the positive and negative electrodes, causing changes in the volume of the electrode materials, which in turn induces stress and affects the cycle life and safety of the battery.

[0003] Liquid electrolyte is a key component of lithium-ion batteries and is usually regarded as a medium used only for ion transport. In practical applications, the interaction between the electrolyte and the electrode material has a significant impact on the electrochemical performance and mechanical behavior of the battery. However, most of the current models consider the stress effect caused by the volume change of the electrode particles themselves due to ion insertion and extraction during the charge and discharge process of the electrode material. However, there are many other factors that affect the mechanical behavior of electrode particles during ion transport, which affect battery performance at the macro level and physical changes in the battery cell at the micro level. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an electrochemical-mechanical coupling model that includes the binding effect of liquid electrolytes to more accurately describe the performance evolution of lithium-ion batteries and improve the prediction accuracy of lithium-ion battery performance and life. Summary of the invention

[0052] Among them, f r Expressed as the micro-element weight of the electrode particles; ignoring the influence of the micro-element weight of the electrode particles on the elastic-plastic mechanical equilibrium, based on the symmetry of the spherical structure, the static stress equilibrium equation of the electrode particles is obtained as follows:

[0077] The present application provides a liquid lithium battery method and storage medium that considers stress effects. Based on Fick's second law of diffusion, the present application couples the diffusion-induced stress inside the battery cell and the surface stress of the electrolyte on the electrode particles with the equation of Fick's second law of diffusion to construct an electrochemical-force coupling model. In the calculation process of the above model, the internal stress and the surface stress of the electrolyte on the electrode particles can be calculated according to mathematical formulas. By simulating the above model using appropriate numerical calculation methods, more accurate calculation results can be obtained than the traditional pseudo-two-dimensional model. In the electrochemical-force coupling model constructed by the present application, the influence of liquid electrolyte constraints on battery performance and mechanical stress is taken into account. The physical process, electrochemical reaction and mechanical stress form a multi-field coupling, which makes up for the defect that the traditional Fick's second law of diffusion cannot consider mechanical effects, improves the simulation accuracy, and can more accurately judge the working state of the lithium-ion battery.

[0078] The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below.

[0079] The main method steps for implementing the present invention include:

[0080] S1, constructing a mechanical model to describe the relationship between the deformation of electrode particles and environmental stress, wherein the environmental stress includes the force of the electrolyte on the electrode particles; the specific steps are as follows:

[0081] S1.1, construct the static stress balance equation of electrode particles:

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, the electrode particles wrapped by the electrolyte are assumed to be regular spheres. According to the principles of elastic-plastic mechanics, the stress equilibrium relationship of the electrode particles in spherical coordinates is analyzed:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, f r It is expressed as the microelement weight of the electrode particle. Since its weight is too light, its influence on the elastic-plastic mechanical balance is ignored. In addition, considering the symmetry of the spherical structure, the static stress balance equation of the electrode particle is obtained.

[0085]

[0086] S1.2, construct the diffusion induction equation within the electrode particles, expressed as:

[0087]

[0088] Among them, εr is the normal strain, εt is the hoop strain, σ r is the normal stress, σ t is the hoop stress, E is Young's modulus, v is Poisson's ratio, ΔC S is the change in lithium ion concentration on the particle surface, and Ω is the partial molar volume of the material.

[0089] S1.3, based on the surface pressure of the electrolyte on the electrode particles, the hydrostatic stress equation of the electrode particles is constructed and expressed as:

[0090]

[0091] Among them, σ h It represents the comprehensive stress (i.e. average pressure) in all directions at a certain position of the electrode particle, and the directions are normal and circumferential.

[0092] S1.4, construct the stress / strain relationship equation, expressed in spherical coordinates as:

[0093]

[0094] Among them, u is the displacement variable.

[0095] S1.5, the boundary conditions of the porous electrode, including the surface stress of the electrode particles. Specifically, the surface stress of the electrode particles is the pressure of the electrolyte on the surface of the electrode particles. The boundary conditions of the porous electrode are expressed as:

[0096] σ AM-r (r=R AM )=p

[0097] u(r=0)=0

[0098] Among them, σ AM-r (r=R AM ) represents the normal stress on the surface of the electrode particles, and p represents the pressure of the electrolyte on the surface of the electrode particles.

[0099] In some embodiments, p includes the pressure P exerted by the gravity of the electrolyte on the electrode particles, expressed as:

[0100] P=ρgh

[0101] Where ρ is the density of the liquid electrolyte, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth of the electrode particles from the electrode surface.

[0102] In some more specific embodiments, h is the deepest point where the electrolyte penetrates the thickness of the electrode. Specifically, h=80 μm.

[0103] In some preferred embodiments, the pressure p of the electrolyte on the surface of the electrode particles also includes the pressure ΔP generated by the compression of the electrolyte liquid due to the volume change of the electrode particles, which is expressed as:

[0104]

[0105] Where K is the bulk elastic modulus of the electrolyte, and ΔV / V is the volume change rate of the electrolyte.

[0106] The force exerted by the gravity of the electrolyte on the surface of the electrode particles is 10-9 orders of magnitude smaller than the stress caused by the volume change of the electrode particles due to the mismatch between the center and the surface of the particles. Therefore, in order to further improve the simulation effect of the simulation model, the pressure ΔP caused by the compression of the electrolyte liquid caused by the volume change of the electrode particles should also be considered when establishing the simulation model.

[0107] In some embodiments, the bulk elastic modulus of the electrolyte can be obtained by observing the volume change of the electrolyte when it is subjected to pressure using a Michelson interferometer.

[0108] In other embodiments, the bulk elastic modulus of the electrolyte may also be simulated by the bulk elastic modulus of water. The present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific method used to simulate the bulk elastic modulus of the electrolyte.

[0109] In some preferred embodiments, the interaction between the electrolyte and the electrode particles can limit the expansion of LCO (electrode particles) to within 8%, so we can calculate the volume change of the electrolyte and the volume change rate of the electrolyte.

[0110] S1.6, coupling the above equations can derive the mechanical model of the electrode particles.

[0111] S2, construct an electrochemical model to describe the diffusion process of lithium ions in electrode particles (the change of concentration over time);

[0112] In some embodiments, the diffusion process of lithium ions in electrode particles is described based on Fick's second law, and the expression is as follows:

[0113]

[0114] Among them, c s is the solid phase lithium ion concentration, t is the time, D s is the solid phase diffusion coefficient of lithium ions, and r is the radius dimension of the electrode particles.

[0115] The initial condition corresponding to the constant current operation is expressed as:

[0116] c s (r,0)=c s,0 ,0≤r≤R

[0117] Among them, c s (r,0) is the lithium ion concentration at each location in the electrode particles at the beginning of charge and discharge.

[0118] S3, coupling the electrochemical model with the mechanical model to obtain the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model, which is expressed as:

[0119]

[0120] The boundary conditions of the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model are:

[0121]

[0122] The Faraday process on the surface of the electrode particles is:

[0123]

[0124] Where r = 0 represents the center of the particle; r = R AM Represents the particle surface. Far is the interfacial Faraday current density, F is the Faraday constant, and τ is the interfacial effective coefficient, which represents the relative contact area between the electrolyte and the active material particles. Far is the Faraday flux of lithium ions, which is negative during lithium insertion and positive during lithium deintercalation.

[0125] Furthermore, τ is 1.

[0126] θ represents the stress induction coefficient, which is used to measure the effect of stress on diffusion and is expressed as:

[0127]

[0128] Where E is Young's modulus, Ω AM is the partial molar volume of lithium ions on the surface of electrode particles, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the battery temperature.

[0129] S4, based on the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model, simulates the performance parameters of the battery.

[0130] In some embodiments, the performance parameters of the battery are simulated based on the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model, solved by the finite difference method (FDM), and numerically simulated by MATLAB R2024a software, which can simulate the battery behavior under different charge and discharge rates.

[0131] The present application embodiment also provides a computer-readable storage medium. A person of ordinary skill in the art can understand that all or part of the steps in the method for implementing the above embodiment can be completed by instructing the processor through a program, and the program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, and the storage medium is a non-transitory medium, such as a random access memory, a read-only memory, a flash memory, a hard disk, a solid-state hard disk, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical disc, and any combination thereof. The above storage medium can be any available medium that can be accessed by a computer or a data storage device such as a server or a data center that includes one or more available media integrated. The available medium can be a magnetic medium (e.g., a floppy disk, a hard disk, a tape), an optical medium (e.g., a digital video disc (DVD)), or a semiconductor medium (e.g., a solid-state disk (SSD)), etc.

[0132] This embodiment takes a liquid lithium battery with lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) positive electrode material as an example and uses the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model of the present invention to perform simulation.

[0133] The specific parameters of the simulation model are shown in the following table.

[0134]

[0135] Figure 2The figure is a comparison of the solid phase lithium ion concentration versus radius curves simulated under 1C rate discharge conditions using two different models. Specifically, the two lines are respectively the solid phase lithium ion concentration versus radius curves simulated under 1C rate discharge conditions using the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model in this application and the pure electrochemical model.

[0136] according to Figure 2 It can be seen that the simulation effect of the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model in this application is different from that of the traditional pseudo-two-dimensional model. This is because the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model in this application takes into account the stress on the electrode particles during ion transport. Figure 2 The results show that the presence of stress will reduce the gradient of lithium ion concentration in the electrode particles, the lithium ion concentration on the surface will decrease, and the lithium ion concentration in the center of the particles will increase. Therefore, the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model of the present application can better simulate the working state of liquid lithium batteries.

[0137] Figure 3 The stress comparison diagram of the electrode particles simulated by using the electrochemical-mechanical coupling model of the present application with and without considering the electrolyte stress p is shown. Figure 3 (a) is the normal stress comparison diagram; Figure 3 (b) is the comparison diagram of hoop stress; Figure 3 (c) is the comprehensive stress comparison diagram; Figure 3 In (a), (b), and (c), the red x represents the surface stress of the electrode particles when the electrolyte stress p is considered, the green x represents the central stress of the electrode particles when the electrolyte stress p is considered, the red solid line represents the central stress of the electrode particles without considering the electrolyte stress p, and the green solid line represents the surface stress of the electrode particles without considering the electrolyte stress p.

[0138] Specifically, the liquid electrolyte is assumed to be H2O, and the expansion volume change rate of the electrode particles is set to 2%. Figure 3 It can be seen that considering the pressure exerted by the liquid electrolyte on a single particle, the tensile stress on the surface of the electrode particle will increase and the compressive stress in the center will decrease.

[0139] It should be pointed out that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
