[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and in particular to a method, system, electronic equipment and storage medium for analyzing internal uniformity of a battery. Background Art

[0002] In the research and development of lithium-ion batteries, the uniformity of internal parameters such as current distribution, temperature distribution, polarization, and overpotential is crucial to the battery's overall performance and safety. However, traditional experimental methods have significant limitations. They can typically only measure macroscopic battery parameters (such as voltage and surface temperature), but have difficulty quantifying the uniformity of internal current density and potential distribution, and are even more unable to accurately identify local hotspots or areas of concentrated polarization.

[0003] Existing simulation technologies are mostly based on simplified models, such as one-dimensional electrochemical models or two-dimensional thermal conduction models. This leads to significant deviations between predicted results and actual scenarios, making it difficult to effectively guide battery design and optimization. Furthermore, during the design optimization phase, there is currently a lack of systematic analysis of the correlation between the number and layout of tabs and internal uniformity. As a result, design adjustments often rely on empirical judgment, which is inefficient and lacks scientific basis.

[0023] Currently, the uniformity analysis of internal battery parameters such as current distribution, temperature distribution, polarization, and overpotential has a crucial impact on the overall performance and safety of the battery. Existing simulation technologies are mostly based on simplified models, such as one-dimensional electrochemical models or two-dimensional heat conduction models. This leads to a large deviation between the predicted results and the actual scenario, making it difficult to effectively guide battery design and optimization. Furthermore, during the design optimization phase, there is currently a lack of systematic analysis of the correlation between the number and layout of tabs and internal uniformity. Therefore, design adjustments often rely on empirical judgment, which is inefficient and lacks scientific basis.

[0024] Some existing technologies attempt to obtain internal physical field distribution data by implanting microsensors within batteries. However, this approach not only compromises the integrity of the battery structure but also comes with high costs. Furthermore, single-physics simulation methods cannot fully reflect the combined impact of multi-physics coupling on internal battery uniformity. Therefore, accurately and directly obtaining internal physical field distribution data has become a pressing technical challenge.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, the target battery is a lithium-ion battery. Figure 2 This is a second schematic diagram of the process of the battery internal uniformity analysis method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2, the construction of the three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model includes the following steps: S110. Construct a three-dimensional geometric body according to the positive electrode, negative electrode, separator, and tab of the target battery, and physically define corresponding geometric regions of the three-dimensional geometric body according to material properties to obtain a three-dimensional geometric sub-model.

[0027] In this embodiment of the present invention, to accurately simulate the internal multi-physics field distribution of the target battery, a 3D geometric sub-model containing the positive electrode, negative electrode, separator, and tab is constructed. The 3D geometry, including the positive electrode current collector, positive electrode active coating, negative electrode current collector, negative electrode active coating, separator, and tab, is created using CAD tools within the simulation software.

The negative electrode current collector is made of metal material, and a thin sheet geometry that matches the size of the positive electrode current collector is created through CAD tools. The negative electrode active coating creates an active material layer on the surface of the negative electrode current collector, and its thickness and porosity are defined. The diaphragm modeling is done by creating a porous diaphragm layer and defining its thickness, porosity and ion conductivity. The tab modeling is done by creating a tab geometry and fitting it to the positive and negative electrode current collectors through Boolean operations to ensure seamless connection of the contact surface. The tab material is defined as a metal material, and its thickness and size are defined. At the same time, the battery side is designed as a semi-cylindrical connection through semi-arc stretching to optimize current distribution and heat dissipation path.

[0029] In order to ensure the accuracy of the simulation, corresponding material properties can be defined for each geometric area of ​​the three-dimensional geometric body. In an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the positive electrode current collector is aluminum foil, and the properties such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and density are defined. The material of the positive electrode active coating is lithium iron phosphate material, and the material properties such as electrical conductivity, ion diffusion coefficient, porosity and specific surface area are defined. The material of the negative electrode current collector is copper foil, and the properties such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and density are defined. The material of the negative electrode active coating is graphite, and the material properties such as electrical conductivity, ion diffusion coefficient, porosity and specific surface area are defined. At the same time, the target battery parameters are set. In an embodiment of the present invention, the capacity of the target battery is 5Ah, the positive electrode material is lithium iron phosphate material, and the thickness is 81 um , the negative electrode material is graphite, with a thickness of 58 um , the electrolyte uses LiPF6 / EC-EMC.

[0030] S120. Define the electrochemical reaction equation, charge transfer equation, charge diffusion equation, material conservation equation, and boundary conditions of the target battery to obtain an electrochemical reaction sub-model.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, an electrochemical reaction sub-model is constructed based on the quasi-two-dimensional (P2D) model of a lithium battery. By defining governing equations such as the electrochemical reaction equation, charge transfer equation, charge diffusion equation, and conservation of matter equation, as well as boundary conditions, the target battery's charge and discharge processes are simulated. The input data for the electrochemical reaction sub-model includes physical properties such as the equilibrium potential, conductivity, and diffusion coefficient of the battery material, as well as design parameters such as the porosity and electrode thickness of the target battery. By solving the governing equations, grid calculation data is extracted to obtain the distribution of the internal potential and current of the target battery.

[0032] The electrochemical reaction equation uses the Butler-Volmer equation, which quantitatively relates the current density of the electrode reaction to the overpotential and is used to describe the insertion and extraction reaction rates of lithium ions at the electrode interface. The expression of the Butler-Volmer equation is as follows:

[0033] In the above formula, i represents the current density, i 0 represents the exchange current density, reflecting the intrinsic activity of the electrode reaction, and denote the anodic transfer coefficient and the cathodic transfer coefficient, respectively, which are used to quantify the effect of potential on the activation energy barrier. R represents the gas constant, T represents the thermodynamic temperature, F represents the Faraday constant, η Indicates overpotential.

[0034] The charge transfer equation is composed of the solid-phase electron current conduction equation and the liquid-phase ion current conduction equation, which is used to control the current change inside the battery. The expression of the charge transfer equation is as follows:

[0035] In the above formula, I Indicates the internal current of the battery, represents the effective conductivity of the solid phase material, represents the solid-phase potential gradient, which drives the electrons to transport in the electrode material. represents the effective conductivity of the liquid electrolyte, represents the liquid phase potential gradient, which drives ions to transport in the electrolyte. R represents the gas constant, T represents the thermodynamic temperature, F represents the Faraday constant, represents the cation transference number, represents the activity coefficient, c l Indicates the electrolyte concentration, It represents the logarithmic gradient of electrolyte concentration and reflects the change of ion concentration.

[0036] The material conservation equation is used to describe the diffusion of lithium ions in electrode particles. The expression of the material conservation equation is as follows:

[0037] In the above formula, c represents the lithium ion concentration, r represents the electrode particle diameter, t Indicates time, Ds Represents the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions in electrode particles.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, the governing equations are discretized on a three-dimensional grid using the finite element method to generate a system of algebraic equations. The nonlinear terms in the Butler-Volmer equation are solved using the Newton-Raphson numerical iteration method. Boundary conditions and initial conditions are set simultaneously, where the current input condition is a constant current applied at the tab, the voltage cutoff condition is discharge to 2.5V, and the initial battery state of charge is set to the initial lithium ion concentration distribution, thereby obtaining an electrochemical reaction sub-model.

[0039] S130. Construct a thermal field sub-model based on the Joule heat, reaction heat, and natural convection heat dissipation of the target battery.

[0040] During the charge and discharge process of lithium-ion batteries, the distribution and evolution of the thermal field are crucial to battery performance and safety. The heat sources mainly include Joule heat and reaction heat, while natural convection heat dissipation must also be considered. Joule heat is calculated based on the current density and the ohmic heating of the current collector. The calculation formula for Joule heat is as follows:

[0041] In the above formula, Q J represents Joule heat, represents the resistivity, j Represents the current density.

[0042] The reaction heat is calculated based on the entropy heat of the electrode reaction rate. The calculation formula for the reaction heat is as follows:

[0043] In the above formula, Q R represents the heat of reaction, j represents the current density, represents the entropy change of the reaction, F represents the Faraday coefficient.

[0044] Natural convection cooling simulates the heat dissipation of the target battery by setting natural convection boundary conditions and ambient temperature. The natural convection cooling boundary conditions are as follows:

[0045] In the above formula, k represents the thermal conductivity of the battery material, Represents the temperature gradient in the normal direction of the target battery surface, h represents the convective heat transfer coefficient, T Indicates the target battery surface temperature, T env Indicates the ambient temperature.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the convection heat transfer coefficient is set to 15 W / (m²·K) and the ambient temperature is set to 25°C.

[0047] In this embodiment of the present invention, a thermal field sub-model is constructed by coupling Joule heating, reaction heat, and natural convection heat dissipation to accurately simulate the thermal behavior of lithium-ion batteries during the charge and discharge process. The discharge process is simulated using a transient solver, grid calculation data is extracted, and the temperature field distribution matrix is ​​derived to generate a temperature contour map. The transient solver captures the dynamic evolution of the temperature field, while the temperature contour map intuitively displays the location and distribution of hotspots.

[0048] S140, coupling the three-dimensional geometric sub-model, the electrochemical reaction sub-model and the thermal field sub-model to obtain a three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model.

[0049] In this embodiment of the present invention, a physical field interface is set up based on the 3D geometric sub-model, through which the electrochemical reaction sub-model and the thermal field sub-model are called. The electrochemical reaction sub-model and the thermal field sub-model are coupled through alternating iterations. At each time step, the electrochemical field is first solved, and the electrochemical field results are then passed to the thermal field sub-model. The thermal field is then solved and fed back to the electrochemical model to update the parameters of the 3D geometric sub-model.

[0050] S200 , setting a plurality of tab design schemes, wherein the tab parameters of each tab design scheme are different, and the tab parameters at least include the number of tabs, the width of the tabs, and the position of the tabs.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, multiple tab design schemes can be provided, each with different tab parameter settings, and the optimal tab scheme is selected through comprehensive comparison of multiple parameters. Tab parameters include but are not limited to the number of tabs, tab width, and tab position.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of tabs is graded, and four different tab design schemes are set, namely Scheme A, Scheme B, Scheme C and Scheme D. Scheme A is used as the baseline design, with one pair of tabs per circle, for a total of three pairs of tabs. Scheme B increases the number of tabs by 1 / 3, for a total of four pairs of tabs. Scheme C increases the number of tabs by 2 / 3, for a total of five pairs of tabs. Scheme D doubles the number of tabs, for a total of six pairs of tabs.

[0053] Optionally, in order to analyze the marginal effect of the tab width on uniformity, a width variable group can be set based on Scheme A, and the tab width is set to ±25% of the tab width in Scheme A.

[0054] S300. Perform simulation analysis based on the three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model and the tab design scheme to obtain uniformity analysis results. The simulation analysis at least includes discharge curve analysis, DC internal resistance test analysis, current distribution and current density analysis, current collector ohmic loss analysis, active material overpotential analysis, and battery temperature distribution analysis.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the simulation analysis is a discharge curve analysis, a constant current discharge simulation at different rates is performed based on a three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model to simulate the voltage response within the full discharge cycle. The discharge rates are set to 1C and 3C, i.e., current 5A and current 15A, respectively. The initial battery state of charge is 100%, and the cut-off voltage is 2.5V. 1C and 3C discharge simulations are performed for Schemes A to D, respectively, and the transient solver is called to record the voltage-time curve. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a 1C constant current discharge simulation in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 3C constant current discharge simulation diagram in the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG, under 3C rate discharge, the polarization gradually decreases from scheme A to scheme D.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the simulation analysis is a DC internal resistance test analysis, a short-time pulse test is performed based on the three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model, that is, a constant current discharge is performed for a preset time at a preset battery state of charge, and the DC resistance is calculated based on the transient voltage response. Optionally, a 1C constant current discharge is performed for a preset time of 30 seconds at a preset battery state of charge of 50%, and the transient voltage response is recorded. Figure 5 2 is a schematic diagram of the DC internal resistance test analysis of different tab design schemes in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] The calculation formula of DC internal resistance is as follows:

[0058] In the above formula, DCR represents the DC internal resistance, Indicates the voltage difference before and after pulse discharge, I Indicates the pulse discharge current, which is set to 1C, that is, 5A.

[0059] The DC internal resistance calculation results of Scheme A to Scheme D are shown in Table 1.

[0060] Table 1. Schematic diagram of DC internal resistance of different tab designs

[0061] As shown in Table 1 above, the DC internal resistance is reduced by 9.1% from Scheme A to Scheme D.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the simulation analysis is current distribution and current density analysis, the current transmission path is simulated according to the three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model, and a current distribution line diagram is generated according to the current transmission path. Figure 6 The following is a schematic diagram of the current distribution line diagram of different tab design schemes in the embodiment of the present invention. The three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model contains grid data based on the calculation results of the current transmission path. Through post-processing, the grid data distribution matrix can be rendered to generate a current density distribution cloud map. Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the current density distribution cloud diagram of different tab design schemes in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] By extracting the data of the current density distribution cloud map of different tab design schemes, the maximum current density, minimum current density, average current density and maximum current density difference are calculated for comparative quantitative analysis. The current density analysis results are shown in Table 2. From Scheme A to Scheme D, the current density uniformity gradually improves.

[0064] Table 2. Schematic diagram of current density analysis of different tab designs

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the simulation analysis is a current collector ohmic loss analysis, the potential distribution data of the positive and negative electrodes of the target battery are extracted according to the three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model to generate a positive electrode potential distribution cloud map and a negative electrode potential distribution cloud map. Figure 8 is a cloud diagram of the positive electrode potential distribution of different tab designs in the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 1 is a cloud diagram of the negative electrode potential distribution of different tab designs in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] Based on the potential distribution data, the maximum potential difference was calculated and quantitatively compared for different tab designs. The maximum potential difference results for the positive current collector for different tab designs are shown in Table 3, and the maximum potential difference results for the negative current collector for different tab designs are shown in Table 4. From Schemes A to D, as the number of tabs increases, the potential distribution of the positive and negative current collectors becomes more uniform, and the ohmic loss gradually decreases.

[0067] Table 3. Schematic diagram of the maximum potential difference of the positive electrode current collector for different tab designs

[0068] Table 4. Schematic diagram of the maximum potential difference of the negative electrode current collector for different tab designs

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the simulation analysis is an active material overpotential analysis, the overpotentials of lithium ion insertion and extraction reactions are calculated at the positive and negative active materials of the target battery according to the three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model, and a positive and negative electrode overpotential distribution cloud map is generated. Figure 10 It is a cloud diagram of the positive and negative electrode overpotential distribution of different tab design schemes in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] The overpotential distribution data was extracted based on the positive and negative electrode overpotential distribution cloud map, the mean and extreme values ​​were calculated, and different tab design schemes were quantitatively compared. The overpotential distribution data results of different tab design schemes are shown in Table 5. From Scheme A to Scheme D, as the number of tabs increases, there is no obvious difference in the average overpotential, and the maximum overpotential gradually decreases, which proves that the distribution is gradually more uniform.

[0071] Table 5. Schematic diagram of overpotential distribution data results for different tab designs

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the simulation analysis is a battery temperature distribution analysis, the dynamic evolution of the temperature field at the end of 3C discharge is simulated according to the thermal field sub-model in the three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model to obtain a battery temperature distribution cloud map. Figure 11 is a cloud diagram of battery temperature distribution for different tab designs in the embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 11 As shown, the temperature distribution of scheme D is uniform, and there is no concentrated hot spot in the tab area.

[0073] The temperature data extracted from the battery temperature distribution cloud map of different tab design schemes is shown in Table 6.

[0074] Table 6. Schematic diagram of temperature data for different tab designs

[0075] Simulation analysis of the four different tab designs above shows that with every 1 / 3 increase in the number of tabs, the DC internal resistance decreases by approximately 3%, the maximum temperature decreases by approximately 5°C, current density uniformity improves, overpotential uniformity improves, and polarization gradually decreases. Therefore, the uniformity analysis results show that as the number of tabs increases, the uniformity of various physical quantities within the battery improves, leading to improved overall performance.

[0076] As a further implementation method of the embodiment of the present invention, in order to analyze the marginal effect of the tab width on uniformity, a width variable group of ±25% of the tab width is set on the basis of Scheme A for comparison, and the variables of Schemes E and F are set to the tab width, wherein Scheme E has one pair of tabs per circle, a total of three pairs of tabs, and the tab width is 1.25 times the tab width in Scheme A; Scheme F has one pair of tabs per circle, a total of three pairs of tabs, and the tab width is 0.75 times the tab width in Scheme A. Simulation analysis was performed based on the three-dimensional multi-physics field coupling model, and the simulation results showed that the effect of the tab width change on the target battery performance was negligible, and the fluctuation of the DC internal resistance was less than 2%, thus verifying that the number of tabs is the core optimization parameter of the target battery.

This fills the gap in experimental data and provides data support for uniformity optimization. The multi-physics dynamic coupling model integrates electrochemical, thermal, and current fields to accurately simulate the interactive effects of tab parameter changes on multiple physical fields, improving simulation accuracy and revealing the critical role of tab parameters in uniformity.
