[0122] S120: Perform high SOC electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) testing on retired power batteries to obtain high SOC (SOC>90%) EIS curves. The impedance test was performed using a Solartron 1260 electrochemical workstation with an AC amplitude of 5mV and a frequency range of 100Hz-100kHz.

[0123] Parameter extraction: Charge transfer resistance (semicircle diameter in high-frequency region), Warburg coefficient (the slope of the oblique line in the low-frequency region) characterizes the interfacial reaction activity and ion diffusion rate. It is obtained through high SOC (SOC>90%) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) testing. In the impedance spectrum, the diameter of the semicircle in the high-frequency region (100Hz~100kHz) is , the unit is milliohm (mΩ).

[0126] Parameter extraction: polarization voltage difference ;in is the charging voltage, is the discharge voltage;

[0127] Obtained through the charge voltage-discharge voltage (UU) test, the specific steps are as follows:

[0128] Charge the retired power battery at a constant current of 0.5C to the cut-off voltage (e.g. 4.2V for ternary battery and 3.65V for lithium iron phosphate), and record the average voltage during the charging process.

New batteries typically have an energy efficiency of over 95%. Retired batteries with η < 90% may have significant internal degradation (e.g., loss of active material and increased interfacial impedance).

It is positively correlated with the total amount of active substances involved in the phase transition. Extraction method: Numerical integration (e.g., trapezoidal method) is performed over the peak interval to calculate the area under the peak.

[0159] Differential processing: After smoothing and filtering the VQ data (such as Savitzky-Golay filtering), the differential voltage is calculated: ;

[0160] Curve drawing: Generate dV / dQ-Q curves (DV curves) and analyze abnormal peaks in specific voltage ranges.

[0161] Abnormal peak area extract:

[0162] Locating abnormal areas: Identifying peaks and valleys that deviate from normal morphology in characteristic voltage ranges such as 3.8V±0.1V for ternary batteries and 3.6V±0.1V for lithium iron phosphate batteries;

[0163] Area calculation: Perform numerical integration (such as the trapezoidal method) on the abnormal peaks and calculate the area under the peak. The unit is normalized area (dimensionless). The formula is:

[0164] Abnormal peak area , detect internal defects such as microcracks and impurities;

[0165] Microcrack Detection Principle

[0166] Impact of crack formation: Microcracks are generated in the electrode material due to volume expansion / contraction during the cycle, which increases the contact resistance between the active material and the current collector, and an additional peak appears on the DV curve at the corresponding phase change voltage (such as 3.8V for ternary batteries);

[0167] Characteristic performance: Normal battery DV curve has no obvious peak at 3.8V. When microcracks exist, there will be an abnormal peak with a width of ≥0.2Q (capacity) and a height of ≥0.05mV / Ah. >0.03.

[0168] Principle of impurity mixing detection

[0169] Impurity influence: Metal particles (such as Fe, Cu) or electrolyte decomposition products mixed in during the production process can cause local micro-short circuits, resulting in abnormal fluctuations in the DV curve in the non-characteristic voltage range;

[0170] Characteristic performance: abnormal peak position is not fixed, peak shape is sharp (width ≤ 0.1Q), area >0.02, accompanied by a shortening of the charging voltage platform.

[0171] Relationship with battery safety:

[0172] when When the interface impedance increases due to microcracks, the critical temperature of thermal runaway may be Lowering 15℃, the total heat release energy of thermal runaway Increase 8kJ;

[0173] Micro-short circuits caused by impurities will cause a sudden rise in local temperature. For every 0.01 increase in the abnormal peak area of ​​the DV curve, the probability of thermal runaway increases by 12%.

[0174] Engineering applications and threshold standards

[0175] Typical defect thresholds

[0176]

[0177] Actual case verification

[0178] Case 1: After a ternary battery is cycled 1200 times, the DV curve appears at 3.8V =0.03 abnormal peak, disassembly found that the density of micro cracks in the positive electrode material reached 25 / mm², and the thermal runaway test showed Reduce to 160℃ (normal ≥180℃);

[0179] Case 2: Lithium iron phosphate battery =0.028, accompanied by =50mΩ, BSI=0.38 (Level IV), warning of risks 4 cycles in advance, identifying defects earlier than traditional thermal parameter evaluation.

[0180] S200, safety performance index acquisition and calculation:

[0181] The ARC test was conducted with a heating rate of 1°C / min and an initial temperature of 25°C. The self-heating starting temperature T1, thermal runaway critical temperature T2, maximum temperature T3, and total heat release energy of the retired power battery were obtained. ) four parameters;

[0182] Among them, self-heating starting temperature (T1): the temperature at which the battery starts to self-heat. The higher T1 is, the better the thermal stability of the battery;

[0183] Thermal runaway critical temperature (T2): The temperature at which the battery temperature rise rate reaches 1°C / min. The higher T2, the safer the battery.

[0184] Maximum temperature (T3): the highest temperature recorded during thermal runaway;

[0185] Total heat release energy of thermal runaway (H Total );

[0186] Battery safety indicators are described by the following basic formula:

[0187]

[0188] in, is the heat release energy normalized to the battery capacity of 10Ah. For lithium iron phosphate batteries, =24kJ, for ternary battery, H ref =40kJ;

[0189] By dividing the thermal stability parameter ( 、 ) and the severity of thermal runaway ( ) to eliminate the influence of the maximum temperature difference of different batteries and obtain the relative thermal stability index;

[0190] The nonlinear characteristics of the exponential function are used to enhance the suppression of high heat release energy. Much greater than When the exponential term approaches 0, the BSI is significantly reduced, which intuitively reflects the logic that "the higher the heat release energy, the less safe the battery is."

[0191] Versatility across battery types: Pass The classification setting and capacity conversion make BSI applicable to retired batteries of different systems (lithium iron phosphate / ternary) and different capacities, meeting the needs of large-scale assessment;

[0192] S300, model construction:

[0193] S310, taking the microscopic electrochemical parameters obtained in S100 as characteristic parameters, and taking the microscopic electrochemical parameters obtained in S200 as characteristic parameters 、 、 The three parameters are used as evaluation indicators of battery safety to construct a least squares support vector machine model;

[0194] Choose Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) as the kernel function:

[0195]

[0196] in:

[0197] , : Input vector, representing the microscopic electrochemical parameter characteristics of retired batteries (such as , , , , etc.);

[0198] : The square of the Euclidean distance between two eigenvectors measures the degree of parameter difference between different battery samples; the smaller the distance, the higher the sample similarity;

[0199] σ is a parameter that controls the width of the Gaussian function. The smaller σ is, the higher the model complexity is. σ determines the influence range of the sample point in the high-dimensional space:

[0200] The smaller σ is, the steeper the function curve is, the model is only affected by neighboring samples, and the complexity is high (prone to overfitting);

[0201] The larger σ is, the flatter the function curve is, distant samples will also affect the classification, and the model has strong generalization ability (possibly underfitting);

[0202] The formula maps the nonlinear classification problem in low-dimensional space to high-dimensional space, transforming it into a linear classification problem and resolving the nonlinear correlation between microscopic electrochemical parameters and safety levels. The similarity of eigenvectors is calculated using a Gaussian function, enabling the model to capture implicit correlations between parameters (such as the negative correlation between charge transfer resistance and the critical temperature of thermal runaway). Optimizing σ to 2.0 through 5-fold cross-validation balances model complexity and generalization capabilities on a retired battery dataset, ensuring evaluation accuracy.

[0203] S320, based on the RBF kernel function, the classification decision function of SVM is:

[0204]

[0205] in:

[0206] is the Lagrange multiplier (only support vectors are non-zero). For support vectors that are non-zero, it reflects the contribution of the support vector to the classification decision, and the optimal value is determined through training;

[0207] is the class label of the support vector (+1 = safe or -1 = unsafe);

[0208] It is the support vector, the key sample point closest to the classification hyperplane, which determines the location of the classification boundary. Its number is much smaller than the total number of samples, reflecting the "sparseness" advantage of SVM.

[0209] b is the bias term, which adjusts the position of the classification hyperplane to optimize the classification boundary;

[0210] sgn (sign function): outputs the classification result (+1 or -1) according to the positive or negative value in the brackets, corresponding to the security level judgment;

[0211] Formula through kernel function Calculate the similarity between the battery to be evaluated and the support vector, perform classification after weighted summation, and realize the identification of complex safety patterns; rely on only a small number of support vectors instead of all data, greatly reducing the computational complexity, and suitable for large-scale rapid evaluation of retired batteries; support vectors correspond to battery samples with typical safety characteristics, which can be used to analyze the common parameter characteristics of high-risk batteries (such as high charge transfer resistance + low );

[0212] S400, model training

[0213] Collect the microscopic electrochemical parameters and accelerated calorimetry (ARC) test results of retired power batteries to construct a training dataset (XT rain ,yT rain ), where XT rain is the feature matrix, yT rain is the corresponding category label (safe or unsafe); XT rain The feature matrix contains N groups of samples, each group of samples is a 9-dimensional vector ( , , , , , 、 、 、 ), yT rain The labels are verified by manual annotation or thermal runaway testing at the BSI level. The training dataset contains N = 1500 samples, including 750 each of lithium iron phosphate and ternary batteries, with a capacity range of 5-20Ah.

[0214] The SVM model is trained using the Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) algorithm to solve the model parameters by minimizing the following optimization problem:

[0215]

[0216] Subject to the following constraints:

[0217]

[0218] Among them, C is the penalty factor, which controls the degree of penalty for misclassification; i It is a slack variable that allows a certain degree of misclassification;

[0219] w (weight vector): determines the weight of each feature parameter on the classification, and optimizes the key safety parameters (such as 、 ) obtains a higher weight; each element of the weight vector w corresponds to the importance of the microscopic electrochemical parameters in S100, such as The larger the corresponding element value, the stronger the influence of this parameter on the classification decision.

[0220] b (bias term): Same as the bias in the decision function, adjusts the position of the classification hyperplane;

[0221] (Slack variable): allows some samples to violate the classification interval constraint (i.e. misclassification), ≥0 indicates the degree of misclassification of the i-th sample.

[0222] C (penalty factor), controls the degree of penalty for misclassification:

[0223] The larger C is, the less the model tolerates misclassification and tends to improve the accuracy of the training set (possibly overfitting);

[0224] The smaller C is, the model allows more misclassification and focuses more on maximizing the classification interval (possibly underfitting);

[0225] C=50 is the optimal penalty factor, balancing classification accuracy and generalization ability. C=50 was determined through 5-fold cross-validation, achieving a balance between accuracy (96.25%) and F1 score (0.94) on a test set of retired batteries, avoiding overfitting (e.g., when C=100, the test set accuracy dropped to 92%) or underfitting (e.g., when C=10, the accuracy dropped to 88%).

[0226] In the formula:

[0227] It is a regularization term that suppresses the weight vector from being too large, avoids model overfitting, and improves generalization ability;

[0228] To quantify the cost of misclassification and balance it with the regularization term, we used the optimal value of C = 50 to achieve a balance between classification accuracy and generalization ability on the retired battery dataset.

[0229] The function interval from the sample to the classification hyperplane is required to be at least 1- , ensuring the reliability of classification boundaries, Control the maximum misclassification allowed; Allowing the margin to shrink (i.e. misclassification), =0, the sample strictly meets the classification interval requirements.

[0230] The SMO algorithm iteratively optimizes the Lagrange multipliers of two samples , gradually solving the optimal w and b, which is suitable for efficient training of large-scale retired battery datasets.

[0231] Solve the above optimization problem by Lagrange multiplier method and get the Lagrange multiplier And the bias term b, the final classification decision function is:

[0232]

[0233] Input features x: dimensional microscopic electrochemical parameters extracted from S100 test ( , , , , ), after Z-score standardization; when Z-score standardization, The mean μ=40mΩ and the standard deviation σ=15mΩ.

[0234] Safety Category Label :The BSI level of S200 is mapped into two categories, BSI ≤ 0.7 corresponds to "safe" ( =+1), BSI>0.7 corresponds to "unsafe" ( =-1);

[0235] Support Vector : The number of key samples screened out after training (such as the characteristics of retired batteries with microcracks) accounts for 5%-10% of the total samples, reflecting the sparsity advantage of SVM;

[0236] By integrating the characteristic matrix X of electrochemical parameters, the formula improves the recognition rate of high-risk batteries from 78% of traditional SVM to 96.25%.

[0237] S500, safety level prediction:

[0238] a) Microscopic parameter input: The microscopic electrochemical parameters of the battery to be evaluated are input into the trained SVM model, and the model outputs a safety label (+1 = safe / -1 = unsafe);

[0239] b) BSI level mapping: Based on the BSI value calculated by S200, map the risk according to the level table;

[0240] c) Collaborative decision-making (the threshold is set according to the battery type, such as 0.6 for lithium iron phosphate and 0.7 for ternary):

[0241] When BSI ≤ threshold and safety label = +1, confirm the BSI risk level;

[0242] When BSI>threshold or safety label=-1, it is judged as high risk; even if BSI is at a low risk level, if the model label is unsafe, high risk is prioritized.

[0243] d) Data feedback: storing input parameters, BSI values, and decision results in the historical case library;

[0244] e) Model optimization: When new data is added to the case library (e.g., more than 100 items), the S400 model is triggered to retrain and update parameters.

[0245] Risk level table:

[0246] .

[0247] Combine Figure 2 , summarized as follows:

[0248] (1) Data collection collaboration (S100+S200);

[0249] The hardware test module performs S100 micro-test and S200 thermal test simultaneously:

[0250] Pulse charge and discharge (S110) are triggered synchronously with ARC test, and the timestamp error is less than 1ms;

[0251] The generated microscopic parameters and thermal parameters are automatically merged into a 9-dimensional feature vector;

[0252] (2) Model training collaboration (S300+S400)

[0253] The SVM model defined by S300 receives the microscopic parameters of S100 as input features and the BSI value of S200 as the label source:

[0254] BSI ≤ 0.7 → label 'safe' (y = +1);

[0255] BSI>0.7→label ‘unsafe’ (y=-1);

[0256] S400 uses a 9-dimensional feature vector normalization matrix during training;

[0257] (3) Decision-making and execution collaboration (S500)

[0258] The S500 receives two types of input simultaneously:

[0259] Input 1: original BSI value output by S200;

[0260] Input 2: microscopic parameters of S100 real-time test (normalized by Z-score);

[0261] Perform dual-channel decision making:

[0262] Channel A: BSI value is mapped to level IV risk;

[0263] Channel B: Micro-parameters are input to the SVM model to output safety labels;

[0264] Final judgment rules:

[0265] If BSI ≤ 0.6 and label = safe → confirm BSI level;

[0266] If BSI>0.6 or label=unsafe→determined as high risk";

[0267] (4) Closed-loop optimization collaboration

[0268] The decision results of S500 and actual battery application data are stored in the historical case library, triggering S400 model retraining: SVM parameters are automatically updated after 100 sets of data are added each month, and model version management records changes in accuracy.

[0269] Preferably, in S200, the capacity conversion formula can be used to obtain :

[0270]

[0271] Battery safety indicator formula optimization:

[0272]

[0273] This ensures that BSI calculations for batteries of different capacities are comparable;

[0274] Engineering application cases

[0275] Case 1: Comparison of lithium iron phosphate batteries with different capacities

[0276] Battery A: 10Ah, =24kJ, =24kJ, the exponential term is exp(−2424)= ≈0.368;

[0277] Battery B: 5Ah, =12kJ, =24×105=12kJ, the exponential term is exp(−1212)= ≈0.368;

[0278] although Different, but the index terms are the same after normalization, and the BSI calculation results are comparable.

[0279] Case 2: Comparison between lithium iron phosphate and ternary batteries

[0280] 10Ah lithium iron phosphate battery: =24kJ, exponential term ≈0.368;

[0281] 10Ah ternary battery: =40kJ, exponential term ≈0.368;

[0282] When the heat release energy per unit capacity of batteries of different systems is the same, the BSI index items are consistent, reflecting that their thermal runaway risks are comparable, which is consistent with actual safety characteristics.

[0283] It is the core parameter in the BSI formula for achieving "unified assessment across capacities and material systems". By linearly correlating the exothermic energy baseline value with the battery capacity, it eliminates the interference of capacity differences on safety assessments, making BSI a quantifiable and comparable safety indicator, and providing a standardized tool for large-scale safety assessments of retired batteries.

[0348] Summary of technical advantages

[0349] .

[0350] Comparative Example

[0351] Traditional thermal parameters are evaluated separately (using the lithium iron phosphate 8Ah in Example 2 as an example)

[0352] 1. Evaluation Objects and Methods

[0353] Evaluation object: retired lithium iron phosphate battery (8Ah, 1000 cycles, safe state) similar to that in Example 2.

[0354] Traditional methods:

[0355] Only the thermal parameters were obtained using Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC) testing. , , , , ignoring the microscopic electrochemical parameters of S100 (such as 、 、 etc.), and no capacity normalization was performed (directly using =24kJ, not converted to ).

[0356] 2. BSI calculation process and results

[0357] ARC test thermal parameters: ℃ (self-heating starting temperature), ℃ (critical temperature at a temperature rise rate of 1℃ / min), ℃ (maximum temperature), =20kJ (total energy released by thermal runaway).

[0358] Traditional BSI calculation (not converted to capacity):

[0359] BSI= (Level II, low risk);

[0360] 3. Actual risks and assessment bias

[0361] Actual state of microscopic parameters (data from Example 2):

[0362] mΩ (≤50mΩ, safe), (≤0.03, no microcracks), (≥0.8, normal), all microscopic parameters are within the safety threshold, and the actual risk is consistent with the BSI level.

[0363] Causes of deviation in traditional methods:

[0364] Uncapacitated: Traditional methods do not use =24× =19.2kJ, resulting in an inflated BSI value of 0.11 (error 25.6%), but the actual risk was not concealed because the battery was in good condition.

[0365] Lack of micro-parameter support: cannot pass , Quantifying internal degradation (e.g., 85% electrolyte residue) using other parameters only relies on thermal parameter evaluation, which theoretically may miss high-risk situations (e.g., the ternary battery scenario in Example 3).

[0366] Results comparison and technical advantages

[0367]

[0368] Conclusion: Traditional methods rely solely on thermal parameters and do not normalize capacity. Although they can correctly assess the risk level in some normal batteries, they suffer from large calculation errors and are unable to identify microscopic degradation hazards. Examples 2 and 3 address the above issues through the following innovations:

[0369] Capacity normalization: Pass Eliminate the interference of capacity difference, and the BSI calculation error is less than 5%;

[0370] Micro-parameter fusion: through , Equalizing electrode degradation, the identification rate of high-risk batteries increased from 72% to 96.25%;

[0371] Machine learning modeling: Using SVM to capture nonlinear correlations between parameters, avoiding the linear evaluation limitations of traditional formulas, and providing more accurate safety guarantees for the cascade utilization of retired batteries.
