[0038] Lithium batteries have become the mainstream energy storage battery due to their unparalleled advantages in terms of safety, stability, and low cost. However, due to factors such as side reactions at the interface between the electrolyte and the negative electrode, and repeated expansion of graphite due to lithium deintercalation, the SEI film (Solid Electrolyte Interface) becomes thicker and the loss of active lithium increases. When the loss of active lithium continues to increase and the impedance continues to rise, capacity diving may occur. Capacity diving not only makes the battery unable to achieve the designed cycle life, but also greatly reduces the safety of battery use.

[0039] At present, there is no universal detection process for the prediction method of capacity diving. The existing detection methods are difficult, complicated and have low accuracy. In one example, the diving point can be predicted by measuring the electrolyte consumption rate and the minimum threshold during the battery charge and discharge cycle, but this method can only predict the capacity diving caused by electrolyte loss, and may not be applicable to other forms of capacity attenuation. In another example, a small rate cycle can be periodically added during the battery charge and discharge cycle, and the discharge curve can be differentiated as the target curve, and the peak area change of the differential curve can be calculated to determine whether the capacity diving occurs. This method reduces the complexity of the diving prediction to a certain extent, but the periodic small rate charge and discharge will greatly extend the test time of the normal cycle of the battery, and will also have a certain impact on the cycle performance. Therefore, a fast and accurate battery capacity diving prediction method is needed to predict the battery diving point, confirm the safe service life of the battery, and speed up the evaluation test cycle in the development stage.

[0040] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a method for predicting battery capacity drop, which is mainly aimed at lithium-ion batteries, such as lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) lithium-ion batteries. Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of a method for predicting battery capacity drop according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps S1 to S4:

[0041] Step S1, obtaining the battery at a1, a2...a n The voltage and time data of the static phase after the round test charging is completed, where a n =a1+(n-1)×d, a1, n, d are all positive integers, n=1, 2, 3…, any round of testing includes charging, standing still after charging, discharging, and standing still after discharging.

[0042] In this embodiment, the battery is subjected to multiple rounds of (charge and discharge) tests, wherein any round of testing includes the following stages: fully charging the battery, leaving it to rest for a period of time, and then discharging the battery and leaving it to rest for a period of time. When obtaining voltage and time data, the voltage and time data can be obtained in the resting stage after each round of charging, or the voltage and time data can be obtained in the resting stage after charging is completed every few rounds. Specifically, the following expression can be used: n =a1+(n-1)×dGet the battery in a1, a2…a n The voltage and time data of the static stage after the round of test charging is completed. As an example, assuming a1=5, d=5, the voltage and time data are obtained in the static stage after the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th... rounds of test charging are completed; assuming a1=1, d=3, the voltage and time data are obtained in the static stage after the 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th... rounds of test charging are completed. Among them, a1 and d can be set according to the test requirements, and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0043] In one embodiment, the process of a round of charge and discharge test may specifically include: charging the battery to 100% SOC (State of Charge), leaving it to rest for a first preset time, discharging the battery to 0% SOC, and leaving it to rest for a second preset time. Among them, 100% SOC means that the battery is fully charged (charging is complete), and 0% SOC means that the battery is completely exhausted. The first preset time and the second preset time of rest may be equal or unequal, and can be set according to the test requirements. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0044] In one embodiment, the voltage and time data of the battery in the static stage after any round of charge and discharge test is completed are obtained, for example, the voltage of the battery at multiple time points within a first preset time period is obtained.

[0045] In one implementation, the first preset duration ranges from 10 to 30 minutes, and the second preset duration is 5 minutes.

[0046] In one embodiment, each round of charge and discharge testing may be performed at a constant temperature, and a constant current / power may be used to charge and discharge the battery.

[0047] Step S2, determining a first relationship curve between the corresponding voltage change rate and time according to the acquired voltage and time data of each round of testing.

[0048] In this embodiment, for a1, a2...a nIn any round of testing, the voltage change rate dV / dt is calculated according to the obtained voltage V and time t data, and then the calculated voltage change rate dV / dt is used as the ordinate and the corresponding time t is used as the abscissa to determine the first relationship curve between the voltage change rate and time.

[0049] It should be noted that since the positive electrode potential of lithium iron phosphate is relatively stable, the potential change of the graphite negative electrode can be reflected by the change of the full battery voltage. Figure 2 As shown, the dotted line represents the positive electrode potential of the lithium iron phosphate lithium battery, the dotted line represents the negative electrode potential, and the solid line represents the potential difference between the positive electrode potential and the negative electrode potential, that is, the full battery voltage. It can be seen that the positive electrode potential is relatively stable during the charging stage and the static stage after charging. Therefore, the change in potential difference can be used to reflect the change in the potential of the negative electrode. It is understandable that the method in the embodiment of the present application can also be used to predict the diving of other batteries with this characteristic.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, a1 = 5, d = 5. This embodiment obtains the voltage and time data of the static stage after the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, ... rounds of test charging are completed, and determines the first relationship curve between the voltage change rate and time based on the above data.

[0051] In one embodiment, for test rounds requiring acquisition of voltage and time data, the first preset duration is greater than the second preset duration, and for test rounds not requiring acquisition of voltage and time data, the first preset duration is equal to the second preset duration.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first preset time length is the time length of the rest stage after the charging is completed, and the second preset time length is the time length of the rest stage after the discharging is completed. When obtaining the voltage and time data of the rest stage after the charging is completed for the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, ... rounds of testing, the first preset time length is greater than the second preset time length. For other rounds of charging and discharging tests, such as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th, ... rounds of testing, the first preset time length may be equal to the second preset time length.

[0053] In one embodiment, when the number of test rounds is equal to a1+(n-1)×d, that is, when voltage and time data need to be obtained, the first preset time length can be 20 minutes and the second preset time length can be 5 minutes; when the number of test rounds is not equal to a1+(n-1)×d, that is, when voltage and time data do not need to be obtained, the first preset time length and the second preset time length can both be 5 minutes.

[0054] In this embodiment, the voltage and time data of the static stage after charging is completed are obtained every few rounds. For the test rounds that do not require data acquisition, the first preset static time after charging is completed can be shortened, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the test time and improving the test efficiency.

[0055] In one embodiment, when the number of test rounds is equal to a1+(n-1)×d, the voltage and time data of the static stage after charging is completed in the nth round of charging and discharging are obtained at the first sampling interval; when the number of test rounds is not equal to a1+(n-1)×d, the voltage and time data of the static stage after charging is completed in the nth round of charging and discharging are obtained at the second sampling interval. Specifically, for example, the voltage and time data of the static stage (within the first preset time length) after the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, etc. rounds of charging are obtained based on the first sampling interval, and for other rounds of testing, the voltage and time data of the static stage after charging is completed are obtained based on the second sampling interval.

[0056] In one implementation, the first sampling interval is recorded as t1, and the second sampling interval is recorded as t2. The ranges of the first sampling interval and the second sampling interval are as follows: t1≤10s, 10s≤t2≤30s. As an example, t1=10s, t2=30s.

[0057] In this embodiment, the voltage and time data for generating the first relationship curve are acquired at a smaller sampling interval, which can improve the smoothness and accuracy of the subsequent fitted curve, thereby more accurately analyzing the trends and rules of the data, and further improving the accuracy of the dive prediction.

[0058] Step S3, obtaining a characteristic value of each first relationship curve, and generating a second relationship curve according to the obtained multiple characteristic values ​​and the number of test rounds corresponding to the multiple characteristic values.

[0059] In this embodiment, the characteristic value of the first relationship curve refers to the minimum value after the trend of the first relationship curve changes. It should be noted that the characteristic value reflects the amount of lithium deposition in the battery. The later the time corresponding to the characteristic value is, the more lithium deposition there is. Assuming that the characteristic value is recorded as F, the ath n The characteristic value of the first relationship curve corresponding to the round test is recorded as Fa n In this embodiment, the characteristic values ​​of each first relationship curve determined in step S2 such as Fa1, Fa2...Fa are obtained. n , and then according to the obtained multiple eigenvalues ​​Fa1, Fa2…Fa n And the number of test rounds corresponding to multiple eigenvalues ​​a1, a2…a n Generate a second relationship curve, that is, a correlation curve between the characteristic value and the number of test rounds.

[0060] Step S4, when a sudden change in the slope of the second relationship curve is detected, it is predicted that the battery will experience a capacity drop after multiple rounds of charge and discharge starting from the test round number at which the slope suddenly changes.

[0061] In this embodiment, if the slope of the second relationship curve suddenly changes, it is predicted that the battery will experience a capacity drop after multiple rounds of charge and discharge starting from the slope sudden change point.

[0062] In one implementation, the sudden change in slope may be measured using features such as the slope difference or change amplitude between two adjacent points on the curve, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0063] In one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the above step S4 may further include the following step S41:

[0064] Step S41, when the slope of the second characteristic value on the second relationship curve changes more than the slope of the first characteristic value on the second relationship curve than a preset threshold, it is predicted that the battery will experience a capacity dive after 50 to 60 rounds of charge and discharge starting from the number of test rounds corresponding to the second characteristic value, wherein the first characteristic value and the second characteristic value are characteristic values ​​corresponding to two adjacent test rounds on the second relationship curve.

[0065] In this embodiment, whether the slope of the second relationship curve has a sudden change is determined by calculating the change range of the slope of the first eigenvalue and the second eigenvalue corresponding to two adjacent test rounds on the second relationship curve. Specifically, the change range of the slope is recorded as R n , R can be calculated using the following formula n :

[0066] R n =(k n -k n-1 ) / k n

[0067] Among them, k n Indicates the first n The slope of the characteristic value of the round test on the second relationship curve, k n-1 Indicates the first n-1 The slope of the characteristic value of the round test on the second relationship curve. If R n If R n If the value is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the battery is judged to be in a stable cycle state.

[0068] In one embodiment, according to multiple experiments, when R n When it is greater than the preset threshold, the battery's capacity will drop after 50 to 60 cycles of charge and discharge.

[0069] In one embodiment, the a n The slope k of the characteristic value of the round test on the second relationship curve n The slope can be calculated based on the characteristic values ​​of the previous round of tests, or multiple characteristic values ​​of previous rounds of tests can be used to fit the slope. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific limitation on the method of calculating the slope of the curve.

[0070] In the technical solution of the present application, the battery is subjected to charge and discharge cycle test, and the voltage-time data of the static stage after the battery is fully charged in different rounds of test is obtained to determine the first relationship curve between the voltage change rate and time; the characteristic value of the first relationship curve is obtained to determine the second relationship curve between the characteristic value of multiple rounds of test and the number of test rounds; and it is judged whether the battery has a sudden increase in the amount of reversible lithium precipitation during the charge and discharge process according to whether the slope of the second relationship curve has a sudden change. The purpose of simply, quickly and accurately predicting the battery diving point is achieved. This method does not require changing the battery's charge and discharge system, and does not require adding battery auxiliary detection equipment, which greatly improves the detection efficiency. In addition, the prediction method can be carried out during the battery charging process, and charging can be stopped in time according to the predicted capacity diving point to avoid the occurrence of dangerous situations.

[0071] The overall process of the above-mentioned battery capacity drop prediction method is explained below through two embodiments:

[0072] Embodiment 1

[0073] A lithium iron phosphate-graphite lithium-ion battery with a theoretical capacity of 2Ah was placed in a 25°C constant temperature box for constant temperature (charge and discharge) cycles. The cycle steps are as follows: 1.5P constant power charging to 3.65V, standing for 20 minutes, 1.5P constant power discharge to 2.0V, standing for 5 minutes. The voltage-time curve of the standing stage after each cycle (round) of charging is obtained, and the curve is differentiated to obtain the dV / dt-t voltage differential curve (first relationship curve) as shown in Figure 3 As shown, 1cls, 50cls, and 100cls represent the 1st week, the 50th week, and the 100th week respectively, and the corresponding curves are the first relationship curves of the 1st week, the 50th week, and the 100th week respectively. Figure 3 The corresponding vertical lines are used to mark the locations of the characteristic values ​​of the first relationship curve. It should be noted that: Figure 3 Only three first relationship curves are selected as examples, and actually more first relationship curves tested for a certain number of weeks can be included. Assuming that the characteristic value of the first relationship curve after every 5 cycles is plotted against the number of cycles, a characteristic value variation curve (second relationship curve) is obtained as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 It can be seen that the characteristic value is relatively stable in the first 50 cycles, and the characteristic value after 50 cycles shows an accelerating upward trend, indicating that a capacity dive is about to occur. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the relationship between battery capacity retention rate and cycle number according to Example 1 of the present application. Figure 5 It can be seen that the battery capacity drops at around 100 weeks.

[0075] The lithium iron phosphate-graphite system lithium-ion battery with a theoretical capacity of 2Ah and better negative electrode kinetic performance was placed in a 25°C constant temperature box for constant temperature (charge and discharge) cycles. The cycle steps are as follows: 1.5P constant power charging to 3.65V, standing for 20 minutes, 1.5P constant power discharge to 2.0V, standing for 5 minutes. Obtain the voltage-time curve of the standing stage after each cycle (round) of charging, differentiate the curve, and obtain the dV / dt-t voltage differential curve (first relationship curve) as shown Figure 6 As shown, 1cls, 50cls, and 100cls represent the 1st week, the 50th week, and the 100th week respectively, and the corresponding curves are the first relationship curves of the 1st week, the 50th week, and the 100th week respectively. Figure 6 The corresponding vertical lines are used to mark the locations of the characteristic values ​​of the first relationship curve. It should be noted that: Figure 6 Only three first relationship curves are selected as examples, and actually more first relationship curves tested for a certain number of weeks can be included. Assuming that the characteristic value of the first relationship curve after every 5 cycles is plotted against the number of cycles, a characteristic value variation curve (second relationship curve) is obtained as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown. Figure 7 It can be seen that the characteristic value is relatively stable in the first 75 cycles, and the characteristic value after 75 cycles shows an accelerating upward trend, indicating that a capacity dive is about to occur.

Figure 8 It can be seen that the battery capacity drops at around 135 weeks. Therefore, according to the method proposed in this embodiment, a warning of battery capacity drop can be issued 60 weeks in advance.
