Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery material particle distribution optimization technology, and in particular to a method for optimizing battery material particle distribution. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of batteries, the uniformity of particle size distribution and spatial arrangement of core particulate materials such as positive electrode, negative electrode and electrolyte directly determine the battery's energy density, conductivity and cycle stability. If the particle size is agglomerated or the arrangement is uneven, it can easily lead to an imbalance in the electrode pore structure, such as large pores wasting volume, small pores being insufficiently wetted by electrolyte, or discontinuous conductive / ion conduction networks, which restricts battery performance. However, traditional control methods have obvious limitations. Methods based on empirical formulas have a narrow range of application and become ineffective when materials are changed or processes are adjusted. Offline measurement methods have time lag and cannot capture the dynamic arrangement of particles in real time, which not only wastes materials but also makes it difficult to achieve fine control, becoming a key bottleneck for improving battery performance.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Traditional particle size distribution design methods mainly rely on empirical formulas or experimental measurements, which makes it difficult to accurately control particle arrangement and porosity, resulting in low optimization efficiency.
[0019] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a method for optimizing the particle distribution of battery materials. It combines key particle size parameter modeling, random sampling, and energy optimization in particle arrangement. The optimization algorithm minimizes overlapping energy and establishes an iterative convergence strategy for porosity based on an overlap volume threshold, ensuring low computational cost and outputting verifiable 3D visualized arrangement data. This overcomes the problems of difficulty in precisely controlling particle arrangement and porosity, and low optimization efficiency in existing technologies. Given a particle size distribution, this method iteratively reduces the target porosity. If the overlap ratio at a certain target porosity does not exceed a set overlap ratio threshold, the porosity is further reduced until the overlap ratio exceeds the threshold. If the current target porosity is deemed infeasible, it means the spatial density has reached its limit, and further compression without severe overlap is impossible. At this point, the iteration ends, and the previous target porosity is selected.
[0020] This invention discloses a method for optimizing the particle distribution of battery materials, comprising the following steps: S1, Establish a statistical distribution model of particle size; S2, Particle sampling is performed based on the particle size distribution model; S3, configures the initial position of the particles; S4, construct the system energy function based on the inter-particle overlap state, and calculate the total system energy; S5 uses an iterative optimization algorithm to adjust particle positions and reduce the total system energy; S6. The minimum porosity of the system is determined based on whether the particle overlap ratio exceeds a set threshold. S7 generates and outputs the optimized particle distribution data.
[0021] The technical method proposed in this application is applicable to various materials with particulate morphology within the battery system. The scope of application includes, but is not limited to, the following categories, and the following list is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application: electrode-related particulate materials, functional auxiliary particulate materials, particulate coating materials for membrane performance modification, and electrolyte system-related particulate materials.
[0022] All materials that have particulate morphology characteristics within a battery system and can be processed or have their performance controlled by the technical methods of this application are within the scope of application of this application and are not limited to the aforementioned specific categories.
[0023] This application does not impose any special restrictions on the method of modeling particle size distribution. Any method that can reasonably model the particle size distribution of a particle system without departing from the inventive concept of this application is applicable to this application. The examples are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of protection.
[0024] For example, particle size distribution modeling can be performed using direct testing methods such as laser particle size analyzers, dynamic light scattering instruments, single-particle optical sensing technology, scanning mobility particle size analyzers, sedimentation methods, Coulter particle size analyzers, and optical microscopes with image recognition; particle size distribution functions can also be calculated using key particle size parameters (D10, D50, D90).
[0025] Accordingly, this application does not impose any special restrictions on the optimization algorithm used in the energy minimization process. Any algorithm suitable for nonlinear optimization problems can be adopted, including but not limited to L-BFGS, Adam optimizer, BFGS algorithm, Conjugate Gradient, etc. Other optimization algorithms known in the art can also be selected according to the size, complexity and computational efficiency requirements of the specific problem.
[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, step S1 specifically includes: The particle size distribution function is calculated using key particle size parameters (D10, D50, D90). For example: Assume that the particle size D and its volume fraction follow a log-normal distribution, i.e.: ; in: It is the logarithmic mean. It is the logarithmic standard deviation.
[0027] The particle size distribution calculation process is as follows: a) Calculate the logarithmic mean (i.e., the logarithmic median): ; b) Calculate the logarithmic standard deviation: ; in, It is the 90th percentile of the standard normal distribution.
[0028] c) Calculate the particle volume distribution function: According to the log-normal distribution formula, the particle diameter is D Volume distribution function of particles for: ; d) Calculate the particle number distribution function: The volume of each particle is: ; Then at a certain particle size D At this point, the quantity distribution function should satisfy: ; Calculate the unnormalized quantity distribution:
[0029] Calculate the normalization factor Z using numerical integration: ; After normalization, the quantity distribution function can be obtained. : ; In this embodiment of the invention, step S2 specifically includes: S2.1, Input known parameters: Space side length : The side length of the cube in the target simulation space.
[0030] Target porosity ϕ: the volume fraction of pores in space.
[0031] Mass proportion of each material The sum of the masses of all materials equals 1, that is... .
[0032] Density of each material .
[0033] S2.2, Calculate the target total filling volume: According to the side length By considering the porosity ϕ, the actual volume of solid particles required to fill the required area can be obtained. ; The material volume is allocated according to its mass percentage. For each material k, its occupied solid volume is... It can be determined by its mass percentage The following can be calculated based on density: Assume the total mass of the system is (unit normalized); The mass of each material is: The corresponding volume is: ; The total volume of all materials is: ; S2.3, Calculate the actual filling volume for each type of particle: Use the scaling factor Scaling this total to the actual volume: ; The actual filling volume of each type of particle is: ; S2.4, Sample the particle size set so that the total volume meets the requirement: For each type of material particle k, material particles are sampled according to their particle size distribution function. One material particle is sampled at a time, and the volumes are accumulated to ensure that the total volume satisfies: ; In this embodiment of the invention, step S3 specifically includes: Particles are randomly placed within a two-dimensional or three-dimensional material space. For each particle, the initial position coordinates of its geometric center are generated independently in each dimension, with the generation range being from its radius to the side length of the container minus its radius. That is, the coordinate components of the i-th particle are within [r...]. i , -r i Random sampling is performed within the range to ensure that the particles are located inside the cubic container without initial overlap with the boundary.
[0034] Material space definition: Based on the particle size of the material, define a sufficiently large material space and fill the material particles into this space.
[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, step S4 specifically includes: In the particle arrangement simulation method involved in this invention, the concept of particle overlap depth is introduced to model and evaluate the degree of mutual penetration between particles in the system. Assume that the geometric center positions of the i-th particle and the j-th particle are respectively... and Their corresponding diameters are and The contact criterion for the two particles is: ; When the Euclidean distance between two particles is less than the sum of their radii, it indicates that they have geometrically overlapped. In this case, the depth of overlap is defined. for: ; in: Denotes the Euclidean norm; >0 indicates that an overlap actually occurred; If they do not overlap, then =0.
[0036] To achieve structural stability and physical rationality of the particle system, an energy function based on overlap minimization and boundary penalty is defined. In this function, the geometric overlap between any two particles is considered an "energy" contribution, the magnitude of which is related to the overlap depth between the particles. Proportional: ; In this embodiment of the invention, step S5 specifically includes: To minimize the energy of the particle system, an optimization algorithm is used to iteratively solve for the particle positions. The objective is to minimize the total energy of the system, making the particle arrangement more rational and reducing excessive overlap between particles.
[0037] Initial parameter settings: Optimization objective function: In this invention, the objective function is the total energy function, which includes the repulsion energy between particles and the penalty term between particles and the boundary, and is used to measure the stability of the current particle system state.
[0038] Optimization variable: Particle position coordinate vector (i.e., the center coordinates of each particle in three-dimensional space).
[0039] Initial values: Particle positions are initialized to a non-overlapping random distribution, ensuring that each particle is within the boundary range and maintains a minimum distance from other particles.
[0040] Optimizer parameter configuration: Algorithm type: The method employs algorithms such as L-BFGS, Adam optimizer, BFGS algorithm, and Conjugate Gradient. This method retains a limited amount of historical gradient information in each iteration to approximate the inverse of the Hessian matrix, thereby obtaining an efficient descent direction.
[0041] Historical steps: set to a finite number (e.g., 100) to construct an approximate Hessian matrix.
[0042] Convergence tolerance: Usually set to a small value (e.g.) This ensures that the optimization process terminates when an approximate optimal solution is reached.
[0043] Maximum number of iterations: Set to a large value (e.g., 2000) to ensure that the optimizer has a sufficient chance to converge.
[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, step S6 specifically includes: The initial porosity is set based on the particle characteristics, generally greater than the minimum porosity of a single-size particle. An iterative strategy is used to gradually narrow down the range of the target porosity value. In each iteration, a target porosity value is first set. Based on the current particle arrangement, the particles are adjusted using an energy minimization optimization algorithm, with the optimization objective being to minimize the total system energy. Then, the total overlap volume between all particles in the space is calculated. The ratio of this total overlap volume to the total space volume is calculated to obtain the overlap ratio. If the overlap ratio exceeds a set threshold (usually set to 1%), the current target porosity is deemed infeasible, meaning that the spatial density has reached its limit and further compression cannot be achieved without causing severe overlap, thus ending the iteration.
[0045] Overlapping volume The calculation is based on the geometric derivation of the overlapping regions of spheres, specifically employing the method of subtracting the area of the overlapping region from the superposition of the volumes of the spherical caps to ensure the accuracy and numerical stability of the calculation results. Its mathematical expression is as follows: ; Where d represents the distance between the centers of mass of the two particles. , These are the radii of the corresponding particles.
[0046] For example, if the target porosity is 26%, the overlap ratio does not exceed the set threshold. If the porosity is then reduced to, say, 25%, the overlap ratio exceeds the threshold, and the porosity is considered to be no longer suitable for reduction; that is, 26% is the minimum value.
[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, step S7 specifically includes: Generate the particle size distribution probability density function (PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF); Draw a particle size histogram and analyze the final particle size distribution; Generate a 3D visualization of particle arrangement; Output the final optimized particle data file for use in subsequent projects.
