Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cathode material repair, and particularly to a waste lithium battery cathode material repair system optimized by machine learning algorithms. Background Art
[0002] Currently, most waste lithium battery cathode material repair methods adopt a unified processing flow and fail to perform personalized repair according to the specific conditions of different materials. Due to the large differences in the initial states of different materials, a unified repair plan often fails to achieve the best effect, resulting in uneven performance of the repaired materials. Traditional waste lithium battery cathode material repair methods usually require multiple complex processing steps, such as deep cleaning, high-temperature drying, chemical precipitation, etc. These steps are not only time-consuming and laborious but also require a large amount of energy and chemicals, leading to a relatively high overall repair cost. In addition, due to the lack of effective grouping management, some repair steps may be unnecessary for certain materials, further increasing the cost. Existing repair methods often struggle to fully restore the original performance of waste lithium battery cathode materials, especially in terms of electrochemical performance. This is because during the repair process, the microstructure and surface characteristics of the materials may be damaged to varying degrees, and a single repair method is difficult to comprehensively repair these damages, resulting in the performance of the repaired materials falling short of expectations.
[0003] For example, the Chinese patent application with the authorization announcement number CN117594900B discloses a solid-phase repair method for waste lithium battery cathode materials. Aiming at problems such as how to improve the pole piece powder loss rate during the solid-phase repair of lithium batteries, reduce impurities, and improve the solid-phase recovery effect, the invention includes: discharging and disassembling waste lithium batteries to obtain positive pole pieces, performing heat treatment, then performing crushing, peeling, and screening, then performing calcination, adding a lithium source and performing calcination again to obtain the recycled lithium battery cathode material. The recovery method of the invention is simple to operate, has low equipment requirements, good recovery effect, a pole piece powder loss rate ≥ 99.5%, and an impurity content < 0.1%, and can recycle the cathode materials of waste lithium batteries at low cost, greenly and effectively, significantly reducing the production cost.
[0004] For example, the patent application with the publication number CN117239272A discloses a method for repairing lithium battery cathode materials. The method includes the following steps: Step 1, disassembling a waste lithium battery to obtain the cathode powder before repair; Step 2, uniformly mixing the cathode powder before repair with a lithium source, a binder, and a dispersant to obtain a slurry; Step 3, centrifugally drying the slurry to obtain a powder; Step 4, performing plasma treatment on the powder to obtain the repaired lithium battery cathode material. This technical solution aims at the recovered failed cathode materials, replenishes the lithium source, and regenerates the crystal structure under the action of a plasma jet to restore the electrochemical activity of the cathode powder material, and can directly repair the failed cathode materials under a short process.
[0005] All of the above technical solutions have the problems raised in this background art: they fail to perform personalized repair according to the specific conditions of different materials.

[0080] The repair strategy module includes a first strategy unit, and the first strategy unit is configured with a repair strategy, and the repair strategy is used to control the repair process of the first repair material in each repair group;
[0081] The repair strategy includes a first repair strategy; the first repair strategy is used to control the repair process of the first repair material in the first repair group, specifically as follows:
[0082] Perform deep cleaning and material purification on the first repair material; perform multiple cleanings with a high-concentration cleaning solvent, and use the chemical precipitation method to remove trace impurities on the surface of the first repair material.

[0086] The repair strategy further includes a second repair strategy; the second repair strategy is used to control the repair process of the first repair material in the second repair group, specifically as follows:
[0087] Perform conventional cleaning on the first repair material; compared with deep cleaning, the concentration of the cleaning solvent and the number of cleanings are reduced in conventional cleaning;
[0088] Perform heating and drying on the first repair material; the purpose is to dry the surface of the cleaned first repair material.
[0089] Perform a passivation layer removal treatment on the first repair material; by performing a limited number of charge and discharge cycles, remove the passivation layer on the surface of the first repair material to improve its electrochemical performance.
[0090] The repair strategy further includes a third repair strategy; the third repair strategy is used to control the repair process of the first repair material in the third repair group, specifically as follows: perform a conventional cleaning on the first repair material and then heat it for drying.
[0091] Through such meticulous grouping and targeted repair process design, while maximizing the recycling rate of the waste lithium battery cathode material, the repair cost can be saved, and it can be ensured that the repaired material can meet the requirements of different application scenarios.
[0092] The second repair module is used to execute the repair strategy, and repair the first repair material in different repair groups respectively to obtain the second repair material of each repair group;
[0093] The second repair module includes a second cleaning unit, a second heat treatment unit, a surface repair unit, and an activation unit; among them, the second cleaning unit is used to perform conventional cleaning, deep cleaning, and material purification on the first repair material; the second heat treatment unit is used to heat and dry the first repair material and optimize its crystal structure; the surface repair unit is used to perform surface modification treatment on the first repair material; the activation unit is used to perform electrochemical activation treatment and passivation layer removal treatment on the first repair material.
[0094] The repaired cathode material can be applied to different scenarios according to its quality and performance. Specifically as follows: The cathode material in the first repair group is reused to manufacture lithium batteries. The cathode material in the first repair group has good quality and can be directly used in the manufacture of new lithium batteries, especially in electronic products and electric vehicle batteries with high performance requirements. The performance of the cathode material in the second repair group has slightly decreased but can still be used in energy storage batteries. They can be used in fixed energy storage systems, such as home energy storage units or grid energy storage facilities. The cathode material in the third repair group is difficult to repair and has low potential for reuse, and is not suitable for direct use in lithium battery production, but the metal components in it still have recycling value and can be supplied as raw materials to other industries, such as alloy manufacturing, chemical products, etc.
[0095] The repair strategy module further includes a second strategy unit, and the second strategy unit is configured with an adjustment strategy, and the adjustment strategy is used to perform grouping adjustment on the second repair material of each repair group.
[0096] The detection module is also used to detect the status of the second repair materials of each repair group and extract the status parameters of the second repair materials in each repair group; among them, the status parameters extracted from the second repair materials of the first repair group and the second repair group include defect density, specific surface area, pore volume, key metal content, and total impurity content; the status parameters extracted from the third repair group include key metal content;
[0097] The second strategy unit is also respectively configured with a threshold range corresponding to each status parameter of the second repair materials in each repair group; for example: for the first repair group, the threshold range corresponding to each status parameter includes: Defect density: <100 pieces / μm²; the materials of the first repair group need to have as few defects as possible to ensure good electrochemical performance and cycle stability. Specific surface area: 5 - 20 m² / g; an appropriate specific surface area helps to improve the diffusion rate of lithium ions, but too high a specific surface area may lead to an increase in side reactions. Pore volume: 0.2 - 0.5 cm³ / g; an appropriate pore volume helps the insertion and extraction of lithium ions while maintaining good structural stability. Key metal content: Lithium: ≥5 wt%; Cobalt: ≥15 wt%; Nickel: ≥10 wt%; Manganese: ≥10 wt%; these contents meet the standard specifications for new battery production, ensuring that the materials have good electrochemical performance. Total impurity content: <0.1 wt%; high purity is the key to high-quality materials, and low impurity content helps to improve the stability and electrochemical performance of the materials.
[0098] For the second repair group, the threshold range corresponding to each status parameter includes: Defect density: <300 pieces / μm²; Specific surface area: 10 - 30 m² / g; Pore volume: 0.3 - 0.8 cm³ / g; Key metal content: Lithium: ≥4 wt%; Cobalt ≥10 wt%; Nickel: ≥8 wt%; Manganese: ≥8 wt%; Total impurity content: <0.2 wt%;
[0099] For the third repair group, the threshold range corresponding to each status parameter includes: Lithium content ≥5 wt%, Cobalt content ≥2 wt%, Nickel content ≥2 wt%. Since the third repair group is subsequently used for metal recycling, therefore, it is only necessary to confirm whether the metal content meets the recycling standards.
[0100] The adjustment strategy includes: for the first repair group, if each status parameter of any second repair material is within the corresponding threshold range, no grouping adjustment is made; otherwise, the second repair material is classified into the second repair group;
[0101] For the second repair group, if each status parameter of any second repair material is within the corresponding threshold range, no grouping adjustment is made; otherwise, the second repair material is classified into the third repair group;
[0102] For the third repair group, if each state parameter of any second repair material is within the corresponding threshold range, no grouping adjustment is made; otherwise, the second repair material is removed from the third repair group; the second repair material removed from the third repair group has too low metal content and has no recycling value.
[0103] The second policy unit is also configured with a machine learning algorithm for clustering; the adjustment policy further includes modularly packing the second repair materials in the second repair group using the machine learning algorithm; referring to Figure 3 , specifically as follows:
[0104] S1: Standardize each state parameter of the second repair materials in the second repair group and form a state parameter vector;
[0105] S2: Determine the number K of clustering clusters for the second repair materials; determine a suitable number of clusters according to the requirements of modular packing and expert experience.
[0106] S3: Randomly select the state parameter vectors of K second repair materials as the clustering centers of the K clustering clusters;
[0107] S4: Assign each second repair material to the clustering cluster with the closest state distance;
[0108] The state distance is the Euclidean distance between the state parameter vector of any second repair material and the clustering center of any clustering cluster;
[0109] S5: Update the clustering center of each clustering cluster to the mean vector of the state parameter vectors of all second repair materials in the clustering cluster;
[0110] S6: Repeat steps S4 - S5 until the change rate of the clustering center of any clustering cluster is less than the preset change rate threshold;
[0111] The change rate of the clustering center is the Euclidean distance between the current clustering center and the clustering center of the previous iteration; those skilled in the art can set the change rate threshold according to actual needs.
[0112] S7: Combine the second repair materials in each clustering cluster together for modular packing.
[0113] By performing modular packing on the second repair materials in the second repair group through the above steps, the performance of each group of modularly packed second repair materials is similar and can be used for the production of the same energy storage device; automatically matching the optimal cathode materials for modular packing combination can minimize the performance differences of the cathode materials inside the energy storage device package and maintain the consistency and stability of the overall performance of the energy storage device.
