[0047] Example 1

[0048] Reference Figure 1 The first embodiment of the present application provides a method for predicting the service life of a SOC stack, comprising the following steps:

[0049] S10. Obtaining attenuation characteristics of the cobalt loading and oxygen vacancies of the cathode of the fuel cell stack within a preset time period, wherein the preset time period is a time period during which the fuel cell stack has undergone charge and discharge.

[0050] Optionally, a preset time period is determined, which is the time period of charge and discharge cycles that the stack has experienced. This time period should be long enough to reflect the attenuation trend of the stack performance. Within the preset time period, the cobalt loading data and oxygen vacancy data of the stack cathode are regularly collected. The cobalt loading can be measured by measuring the cobalt content in the catalyst by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) testing, etc. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy uses X-rays to excite the cobalt element in the sample, causing it to emit characteristic fluorescent X-rays. By detecting the intensity of the fluorescent X-rays, the cobalt content in the sample can be determined. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is an effective electrochemical analysis technique that can measure the change of impedance of solid oxide fuel cells with frequency. By analyzing the impedance spectrum, the conductivity and interface reaction characteristics of the cathode material can be understood, thereby indirectly reflecting the change in cobalt loading. Oxygen vacancies can be detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and other technologies. X-ray diffraction (XRD) can infer the existence and quantity of oxygen vacancies by analyzing the X-ray diffraction pattern of the material. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) uses the resonance phenomenon of unpaired electrons in a magnetic field to detect the presence of oxygen vacancies. The collected cobalt loading and oxygen vacancy data are analyzed to obtain their decay characteristics within a preset time period, such as decay rate, decay mode, etc.

[0051] Among them, cobalt loading refers to the cobalt content in the cathode of the stack, usually expressed as mass percentage (wt%). Elements such as cobalt (Co), iron (Fe) and lanthanum (La) are usually used as cathode catalyst materials or structural materials in the stack, and these elements may be reduced due to high temperature and electrochemical reactions. In particular, cobalt (Co) may dissolve or migrate during long-term charging and discharging, resulting in a decrease in its content. The size of the cobalt loading directly affects the performance and life of the fuel cell. A higher cobalt loading generally provides a better catalytic effect. The size of the cobalt loading directly affects the catalytic activity and stability of the cathode of the fuel cell. A lower cobalt loading may lead to insufficient catalytic activity, affecting the performance and life of the stack. Oxygen vacancies refer to the missing position of oxygen atoms in metal oxides. In solid physics and materials science, oxygen vacancies are a common point defect that affects the physical and chemical properties of materials. In fuel cells, oxygen vacancies can affect the activity, stability and conductivity of electrocatalysts. Oxygen vacancies can affect the active sites and electronic structure of electrocatalysts, thereby affecting the performance and life of the stack.

[0052] S20. Determine a first predicted life according to the cobalt loading attenuation characteristics of the cathode of the fuel cell stack.

[0053] Optionally, a prediction model is established based on the attenuation characteristics of the cobalt loading. This model can take into account the initial value of the cobalt loading, the attenuation rate, and possible accelerated attenuation factors. Using the established model, the life of the stack cathode when the cobalt loading decays to a preset threshold is predicted, i.e., the first predicted life. This threshold can be determined based on the performance requirements of the stack and the actual application scenario.

[0054] S30. Determine a second predicted lifetime according to the decay characteristics of oxygen vacancies.

[0055] Optionally, analyze the effect of oxygen vacancies on the performance of the stack, including its effect on conductivity, catalytic activity, etc. Establish a prediction model based on the decay characteristics of oxygen vacancies. This model can take into account the initial number of oxygen vacancies, decay rate, and possible influencing factors. Use the oxygen vacancy decay model to predict the life of the stack when the number of oxygen vacancies reaches a certain critical value, that is, the second predicted life. This critical value can be determined based on the performance stability and safety requirements of the stack.

[0056] S40. Determine a third predicted lifespan according to the operating current and the theoretical current at at least one time node within a preset time period.

[0057] Optionally, within a preset time period, select at least one time node and obtain the working current and theoretical current data of these time nodes. The working current can be obtained through actual measurement, while the theoretical current can be calculated through the design parameters and performance model of the battery stack. Calculate the deviation between the working current and the theoretical current, and analyze the changing trend of the deviation. This deviation can reflect the performance fluctuation and attenuation of the battery stack in actual work. Based on the deviation analysis results, establish a prediction model to predict the life of the battery stack when the deviation between the working current and the theoretical current reaches a certain preset range, that is, the third predicted life. This preset range can be determined according to the performance stability and reliability requirements of the battery stack.

[0058] S50. Obtain a predicted service life of the fuel cell stack according to the first predicted service life, the second predicted service life, and the third predicted service life.

[0059] Optionally, the obtained first predicted life, second predicted life and third predicted life data are processed and standardized, and the final service life prediction can be obtained through the three predicted lifespans by weighted averaging, taking the minimum value or taking the maximum value.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] Based on Example 1, this embodiment provides a method for predicting the service life of an SOC stack, including the following steps:

[0062] S10. Obtaining attenuation characteristics of the cobalt loading and oxygen vacancies of the cathode of the fuel cell stack within a preset time period, wherein the preset time period is a time period during which the fuel cell stack has undergone charge and discharge.

[0063] S20. Determine a first predicted life according to the cobalt loading attenuation characteristics of the cathode of the fuel cell stack.

[0064] Optionally, the step of determining the first predicted life according to the cobalt loading attenuation characteristics of the cathode of the battery stack includes:

[0065] S201, obtaining the actual number of full charge and discharge times of the battery stack within a preset time period;

[0066] Optionally, the step of obtaining the actual number of full charge and discharge times of the battery stack within a preset time period includes:

[0067] S2011. Obtain the number of times the battery stack is charged and discharged within a preset time period, as well as the charging and discharging data for each time.

[0068] Specifically, determine a preset time period, such as one month, two months, half a year, one year, two years or longer. Collect all charge and discharge records of the battery stack within the preset time period, including the timestamp, charge amount and discharge amount of each charge and discharge. Ensure the accuracy and completeness of the data for subsequent calculations.

[0069] S2012. Obtain the actual number of full charge and discharge times within a preset time period based on the charge and discharge data for each time.

[0070] Optionally, the calculation formula for obtaining the actual number of full charge and discharge times within a preset time period is:

[0071]

[0072] In the formula, Q charge,i is the charge capacity of the i-th charge, n is the total number of charging times, Q discharge,j is the discharge amount of the jth discharge, m is the total number of discharge times, the min function represents the smaller value of the total charge amount and the total discharge amount, Q rated It indicates the rated capacity of the fuel cell stack, which is the nominal capacity when the fuel cell stack is designed. Indicates the total charge capacity within the preset time period. Indicates the total discharge capacity within a preset time. The min function is used to take the smaller value of the total charge capacity and the total discharge capacity to ensure the accuracy of the calculation.

[0073] S202. Obtain a cobalt loading attenuation curve of the cathode of the battery stack according to the cobalt loading data at several time points within a preset time period.

[0074] Specifically, several time points are selected within a preset time period, and these time points can be evenly distributed or selected according to a specific number of charge and discharge cycles or time intervals. At each time point, the cobalt loading of the cathode of the battery stack is measured and the measured value is recorded. Using a chart or data fitting tool, the measured cobalt loading data is associated with the corresponding time point to draw a curve of the cobalt loading over time, that is, the cobalt loading attenuation curve.

[0075] S203, according to the cobalt loading attenuation curve and the actual full charging and discharging times, obtaining the predicted full charging and discharging times when the cobalt loading of the cathode of the battery stack decays to a preset threshold.

[0076] Specifically, a preset threshold of the cobalt loading is determined, which may be the cobalt loading value when the stack performance begins to decline significantly. The cobalt loading attenuation curve is analyzed to determine the changing trend of the cobalt loading over time and the attenuation rate μ. An appropriate mathematical model or statistical method is used to predict the number of full charge and discharge cycles required for the cobalt loading to decay to the preset threshold based on the attenuation trend and rate of the cobalt loading.

[0077] S204: Obtain a first predicted lifespan according to the predicted number of full charge, discharge and full discharge times and the actual number of full charge, discharge and full discharge times.

[0078] Optionally, the calculation formula for the first predicted life span is:

[0079]

[0080] Where P threshold represents the preset threshold, P0 represents the cobalt loading at the initial time of the preset time period, and μ represents the attenuation coefficient of the cobalt loading, which reflects the rate at which the cobalt loading decreases with the increase in the number of full-charge and discharge cycles. The larger the attenuation coefficient, the faster the cobalt loading decays. 实际 Indicates the actual number of full charge and discharge cycles within the preset time period. L1 indicates the remaining number of full charge and discharge cycles required for the cobalt loading of the cathode of the battery stack to decay to the preset threshold value under the current attenuation coefficient (or converted to time, if the time required for each cycle is known).

[0081] This is a natural logarithm term, where P threshold is the preset cobalt loading threshold, indicating that when the cobalt loading decays to this value, the performance of the battery stack will drop significantly; P0 is the cobalt loading at the beginning of the preset time period. This logarithmic term represents the logarithmic value of the "relative attenuation" required for the cobalt loading to decay from the initial value to the threshold. The above formula calculates the number of full charge and discharge cycles that the battery stack can perform before reaching the preset threshold by combining the attenuation characteristics of the cobalt loading (represented by the attenuation coefficient μ and the logarithmic value of the relative attenuation) and the number of cycles that have occurred. The attenuation coefficient μ and the logarithmic value of the relative attenuation jointly determine the total number of cycles required for the cobalt loading to decay to the threshold (if the number of cycles that have occurred is not taken into account). Then, subtract the number of cycles that have occurred from this total number of cycles to obtain the remaining predicted life.

[0082] For ease of understanding, an example is given below:

[0083] Assume that there is an existing battery stack with a rated capacity of 100Ah. It is necessary to predict the service life of this battery stack in the future based on the decay characteristics of its cathode cobalt loading.

[0084] S2011: Get charge and discharge times and data:

[0085] Over the past year (preset time period), we have recorded every charge and discharge of the battery stack.

[0086] There are a total of n = 50 charges, each with a different charge capacity, but the total is 4800Ah;

[0087] There are a total of m = 50 discharges, the discharge capacity of each time is also different, but the total is 4700Ah.

[0088] S2012: Calculate the actual number of full, full and discharge times:

[0089] Substitute the data into the above formula,

[0090] S202: Obtaining the cobalt loading attenuation curve:

[0091] Over the past year, we have measured the cobalt loading of the cathode of the battery stack regularly (e.g., every month). We obtained the cobalt loading data at several time points and plotted a decay curve of the cobalt loading over time.

[0092] S203: Obtaining the predicted full and full discharge times:

[0093] The cobalt loading attenuation curve was analyzed to determine the attenuation trend and rate of the cobalt loading. Assume that the preset threshold is 80% of the initial cobalt loading and the attenuation coefficient μ is 0.05% for each full charge and discharge cycle.

[0094] S204: Calculate the first predicted lifespan:

[0095] Assuming that the initial cobalt loading P0 is 1 (expressed as a relative value, i.e., the initial cobalt loading is set to 100%), then

[0096] Bring in data:

[0097] It should be noted that the data in the above examples are only for illustrating the application of basic steps and formulas.

[0098] S30. Determine a second predicted lifetime according to the decay characteristics of oxygen vacancies.

[0099] Optionally, the calculation formula for determining the second predicted lifetime according to the decay characteristics of oxygen vacancies is:

[0100]

[0101] In the formula, O V0 represents the initial number of oxygen vacancies in a preset time period, which is the initial number of oxygen vacancies in the material before observation or experiment; VC represents the critical oxygen vacancy number, which is the number of oxygen vacancies when the material properties begin to change significantly or reach a critical point; O Vs represents the number of oxygen vacancies at the sth time node within the preset time period, Δt s Indicates the time interval from the initial time of the preset time period to the sth time node.

[0102] Specifically, It represents the logarithmic ratio between the initial number of oxygen vacancies and the critical number of oxygen vacancies, reflecting the degree of change of oxygen vacancies in the material from the initial state to the critical state. It represents the ratio of the logarithmic ratio of the change in the number of oxygen vacancies in a specific time interval to the time interval, that is, the rate at which oxygen vacancies decay. The second predicted lifetime can be understood as the "equivalent time" required for the material to reach the critical state from the initial state, based on the current decay rate.

[0103] To make it easier to understand, let's take a specific example:

[0104] Assuming that the initial number of oxygen vacancies O V0 =1000, critical oxygen vacancy number O VC = 500. During the experiment, we recorded the s = 5th time node (Δt s =100 hours) of oxygen vacancies O Vs =800.

[0105] Substitute the above data into the formula for calculation:

[0106] (1)

[0107] (2)

[0108] (3)

[0109] Therefore, based on the current oxygen vacancy decay rate, it is predicted that the equivalent time required for the material to reach the critical state from the initial state is about 31.07 hours. Then, based on the relationship between time and the number of full charge and discharge times, the time can be converted into the number of full charge and discharge times. It should be noted that the data in the above example is only to illustrate the basic steps and how to apply the formula.

[0110] S40. Determine a third predicted lifespan according to the operating current and the theoretical current at at least one time node within a preset time period.

[0111] Optionally, the calculation formula for determining the third predicted life according to the working current and the theoretical current at at least one time node within the preset time period is:

[0112]

[0113] Where K is a constant used to adjust the scale or unit of the predicted lifespan. This constant may depend on the specific equipment, system or application scenario. y is the number of time nodes selected within the preset time period. These time nodes can be equally spaced or selected according to specific conditions. I work,x Indicates the working current at the xth time node, that is, the current value of the device or system during actual operation; I theory,x It represents the theoretical current at the xth time node, that is, the current value of the device or system under ideal or designed conditions; The absolute value of the relative deviation between the working current and the theoretical current at the xth time node reflects the degree of difference between the actual current and the theoretical current. The smaller the sum of the relative deviations, the closer the current performance of the equipment or system is to the theoretical value, and therefore the predicted life may be longer.

[0114] For ease of understanding, the calculation of the third predicted life is given as an example as follows:

[0115] Assume that there is a battery stack that selects 4 time nodes within a preset time period to monitor the working current and theoretical current.

[0116] Time node 1:

[0117] Working current I work,1 =10A,

[0118] Theoretical current I theory,1 =12A,

[0119] Relative deviation |(10-12) / 12|=0.1667.

[0120] Time Node 2:

[0121] Working current I work,2 =11A,

[0122] Theoretical current I theory,2 =12A,

[0123] Relative deviation |(11-12) / 12|=0.0833.

[0124] Time Node 3:

[0125] Working current I work,3 =12A,

[0126] Theoretical current I theory,3 =12A,

[0127] Relative deviation |(12-12) / 12|=0.

[0128] Time Node 4:

[0129] Working current I work,4 =13A,

[0130] Theoretical current I theory,4 =12A,

[0131] Relative deviation |(13-12) / 12|=0.0833.

[0132] Add the absolute values ​​of the relative deviations of all time nodes: 0.1667+0.0833+0+0.0833=0.3333

[0133] Assuming that the constant k is 100, the third predicted life span is: L3 = 100 / 0.3333≈300 (the unit may be hours, days or other units, depending on the definition of k). It should be noted that the data in the above example is only for illustrating the basic steps and application of the formula.

[0134] S50. Obtain a predicted service life of the fuel cell stack according to the first predicted service life, the second predicted service life, and the third predicted service life.

[0135] Optionally, the predicted service life of the battery stack is calculated as follows: L 预测 =L1×ω1+L2×ω2+L3×ω3. In the formula, L1 is the first predicted life, L2 is the second predicted life, L3 is the third predicted life, ω1, ω2 and ω3 are the weights of the first predicted life, the second predicted life and the third predicted life respectively, and ω1+ω2+ω3=1. Before predicting the predicted service life of the battery stack, it is necessary to preprocess the data of the first predicted life, the second predicted life and the third predicted life respectively, unify or standardize the units, and the number of full charge and discharge or time can be selected as the same unit.

[0136] If a prediction method has performed more accurately in the past for the life prediction of similar fuel cells, it should be assigned a higher weight. If a prediction method is based on a failure mode that has a greater impact on the overall performance of the fuel cell, it should also be assigned a higher weight. If the data required by a prediction method is easier to obtain and more reliable, then consider increasing its weight.

[0137] For example, assuming that we believe that the capacity attenuation data on which the first predicted life (L1) is based is very reliable and has the greatest impact on the performance of the battery stack, we assign it a weight of 0.5; the oxygen vacancy attenuation characteristic data on which the second predicted life (L2) is based is relatively reliable, but has a slightly smaller impact, so we assign it a weight of 0.3; the third predicted life (L3) is based on the difference data between the working current and the theoretical current, which has a certain degree of uncertainty, so we assign it a weight of 0.2.
