Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of thermal runaway suppression technology, and in particular to a method and system for suppressing battery thermal runaway based on a strong pulsed magnetic field. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of high-energy-density electrochemical energy storage technology, thermal runaway safety has become a bottleneck restricting its large-scale application. Existing thermal runaway intervention technologies mainly follow two paths: "chemical inhibition" or "energy destruction," both of which have inherent limitations.
[0003] Chemical intervention: By adding flame retardants or pre-installing fire extinguishing agents in the electrolyte, the essence is to introduce foreign chemical substances, which permanently change the battery chemical system. This is often accompanied by side effects such as electrochemical performance degradation and increased internal resistance, and the intervention capability is limited.
[0004] Destructive intervention in the energy field: Technologies such as lasers and microwaves physically destroy the internal structure of the battery through instantaneous high-energy deposition (such as electrolyte decomposition and electrode melting). Although thermal runaway can be eliminated, it leads to irreversible and permanent damage to the battery.
[0005] Traditional physical methods, such as phase change material heat absorption and heat conduction path optimization, have a slow response and only work at the thermal management level, and cannot intervene in the violent chain reaction that has already been triggered. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Based on this, and in response to the aforementioned technical problems, a method and system for suppressing battery thermal runaway based on a strong pulsed magnetic field are provided to solve the problems of irreversible damage to the battery, slow intervention, and poor intervention effect caused by existing technologies when suppressing thermal runaway.
[0007] In a first aspect, a method for suppressing battery thermal runaway based on a strong pulsed magnetic field, the method comprising:
[0008] Step S1: Real-time acquisition of the status parameters of the target battery module; the status parameters include: current, voltage, temperature, acoustic emission signal, and internal resistance;
[0009] Step S2: Calculate the rate of change of the current state parameters of the target battery module based on the real-time acquired state parameters of the target battery module. If the rate of change of the current state parameters meets the preset conditions, it is determined that the battery module has a risk of thermal runaway.
[0010] Step S3: Based on the current SOC, current SOH, and current temperature of the target battery obtained through the BMS system, and combined with the battery type of the target battery module, the target magnetic field strength and target pulse width are predicted using a pre-built radial basis function neural network prediction model.
[0011] Step S4: Send a command to the magnetic field generating module to apply a pulsed magnetic field, so that the magnetic field generating module applies a pulsed magnetic field with a target magnetic field strength and a target pulse width to the target battery through the magnetic field coupling module;
[0012] Step S5: Evaluate the thermal runaway suppression effect of the target battery module based on the real-time acquired state parameters of the target battery module. If the thermal runaway suppression effect does not reach the preset threshold, repeat steps S3-S5 until the thermal runaway suppression effect reaches the preset threshold.

[0022] Based on the ion mobility suppression model, the rate of decrease in the mobility of charged particles in the target battery type under different magnetic field intensities is calculated, and the initial theoretical range of the magnetic field intensity is determined based on the preset decrease rate threshold.
[0023] Based on the cyclotron radius and magnetic freezing model, the cyclotron radius of charged particles is calculated under the magnetic field strength within the initial theoretical range. The magnetic field strength corresponding to the cyclotron radius being smaller than the particle size of the active particles of the electrode material is determined as the final lower limit of the theoretical range of the magnetic field strength.
[0024] The pulse width range in the theoretical range was obtained through statistical analysis of thermal runaway suppression experimental data for the target battery type.

Based on the current SOC, current SOH, and current temperature of the target battery obtained through the BMS system, and combined with the battery type of the target battery module, the module uses a pre-built radial basis function neural network prediction model to predict the target magnetic field strength and target pulse width. The module issues a command to apply a pulsed magnetic field to the magnetic field generation module, and evaluates the suppression effect in real time after intervention. If the threshold is not reached, the module automatically re-predicts and re-triggers.

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0056] Existing technologies regarding the use of magnetic fields in batteries mainly include the following aspects:
[0057] (1) Injecting or encapsulating "magnetic liquid metal" into the battery interior / interface for thermal management is a material introduction scheme;
[0058] (2) Place the entire battery in a constant magnetic field of <2 T and expose it continuously for several hours or even longer. This improves the "performance indicators" such as cycle life, capacity retention, and polarization impedance, rather than providing millisecond-level rapid safety intervention. The physical mechanism is completely different from the instantaneous freezing effect of this invention.
[0059] (3) Electromagnetic induction heating technology: using an alternating magnetic field to generate eddy currents in a conductor to generate heat, the purpose and effect of which are completely opposite to the purpose of the present invention to suppress the reaction.
[0060] In the existing technology, there is no method or system that uses a short-duration, strong pulsed magnetic field to instantaneously freeze the migration of charged particles inside a battery to suppress thermal runaway. This invention fills a technological gap in the field of non-contact, reversible intervention.
[0061] This application constructs a closed-loop, non-contact physical field safety intervention system encompassing "perception-decision-generation-intervention-evaluation." The fundamental breakthrough lies in transforming the strong pulsed magnetic field technology from the field of high-energy physics into a reliable solution through interdisciplinary engineering innovation. This solution can be integrated into battery systems or used as independent equipment to provide millisecond-level, reversible (potential), and non-destructive intervention for battery thermal runaway under complex operating conditions.
[0062] This application aims to provide a method and system for suppressing battery thermal runaway based on freezing the migration of charged particles using a strong pulsed magnetic field, achieving a technological leap from "destructive eradication" to "physical suspension." The specific objectives are as follows:
[0063] (1) Achieve non-contact, non-destructive intervention: suppress thermal runaway through pure physical field action without damaging the battery structure or introducing foreign chemical substances.
[0064] (2) Achieve millisecond-level fast response: Establish a complete control chain from thermal runaway feature identification to strong magnetic field application, with a total response time of less than 1 millisecond.
[0065] (3) Targeting the potential of “reversible intervention”: instantaneously freezing the electrochemical reaction rather than permanently destroying the reaction medium, creating conditions for the battery to recover some or all of its functions after intervention.
[0066] (4) Construct a universal technology platform: energy storage devices applicable to various chemical systems (ternary lithium, lithium iron phosphate, solid-state batteries, etc.) and different scales (from single cell to vehicle battery pack).
[0067] (5) Achieve precise and controllable intervention effect: Precisely regulate the magnetic field strength, pulse width and spatiotemporal distribution according to the battery type, state (SOC, SOH) and thermal runaway stage.
[0068] This invention can provide a brand-new technical tool for the field of battery safety, change the safety design paradigm of battery systems, and lay the foundation for the development of "repairable" safe battery systems.
[0069] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a method for suppressing battery thermal runaway based on a strong pulsed magnetic field is provided, the method comprising:
[0070] Step S1: Real-time acquisition of the status parameters of the target battery module; the status parameters include: current, voltage, temperature, acoustic emission signal, and internal resistance;
[0071] Step S2: Calculate the rate of change of the current state parameters of the target battery module based on the real-time acquired state parameters of the target battery module. If the rate of change of the current state parameters meets the preset conditions, it is determined that the battery module has a risk of thermal runaway.
[0072] Step S3: Based on the current SOC, current SOH, and current temperature of the target battery obtained through the BMS system, and combined with the battery type of the target battery module, the target magnetic field strength and target pulse width are predicted using a pre-built radial basis function neural network prediction model.
[0073] Step S4: Send a command to the magnetic field generating module to apply a pulsed magnetic field, so that the magnetic field generating module applies a pulsed magnetic field with a target magnetic field strength and a target pulse width to the target battery through the magnetic field coupling module;
[0074] Step S5: Evaluate the thermal runaway suppression effect of the target battery module based on the real-time acquired state parameters. If the thermal runaway suppression effect does not reach a preset threshold, repeat steps S3-S5 until the thermal runaway suppression effect reaches the preset threshold. The suppression effect is comprehensively judged by monitoring the battery's temperature change rate, voltage stability, and acoustic emission signal after magnetic field intervention; when the temperature rise rate is <0.1... When the voltage fluctuation is less than ±0.1V and the acoustic emission signal energy drops below the threshold, it is considered that the suppression is successful.
[0075] Thermal runaway chain reactions develop extremely rapidly (on the order of milliseconds to seconds), and intervention must be completed before the irreversible and violent stage. This invention uses a pulsed magnetic field instead of a steady-state magnetic field for the following reasons:
[0076] (1) Use instantaneous energy pulses (pulse width 0.1-5 ms) to match the rapid evolution of thermal runaway.
[0077] (2) Avoid system overheating, energy waste and long-term side effects on the battery caused by applying a magnetic field for a long time.
[0078] The aforementioned method for suppressing battery thermal runaway based on a strong pulsed magnetic field achieves efficient, rapid, and reversible suppression of thermal runaway by applying a magnetic field to the battery when the risk of thermal runaway is predicted. It can respond rapidly in the early stages of thermal runaway, and by precisely controlling the magnetic field strength and pulse width, it significantly reduces the lithium-ion mobility and electrochemical reaction rate, thereby effectively blocking the thermal runaway chain reaction and reducing heat generation. This technology not only has a fast response speed but also reversibility, enabling the battery to recover its function after intervention, extending battery life, and reducing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the magnetic field coupling module of this application has a compact design, integrating magnetic circuit focusing, adapter structure, and electromagnetic shielding functions, making it easy to integrate with existing battery systems.
[0079] In one embodiment, step S2 specifically includes:
[0080] The current voltage drop rate, temperature rise rate, internal resistance increase rate of the target battery module are calculated based on the real-time acquired state parameters of the target battery module, as well as whether an abnormal acoustic emission signal is detected.
[0081] If the voltage drop rate is greater than the initial voltage of the target battery module And the rate of temperature rise exceeds If so, it is determined that there is a risk of thermal runaway;
[0082] If the rate of increase in internal resistance is greater than 0.05 and abnormal acoustic emission signals are obtained, it is determined that there is a risk of thermal runaway.
[0083] In one embodiment, the radial basis function-based neural network prediction model is constructed in the following manner:
[0084] Acquire historical data for different battery types; the historical data includes: SOC, SOH, and temperature when thermal runaway risk occurs, as well as battery state parameters after applying different pulse magnetic field strengths and pulse widths;
[0085] The historical data is input into a radial basis function neural network prediction model for training.
[0086] The theoretical range is used as a priori condition, so that the target magnetic field strength and target pulse width output by the radial basis function-based neural network prediction model during training and prediction are based on the theoretical range.
[0087] In one embodiment, the theoretical range is obtained by the following method:
[0088] Based on the ion mobility suppression model, the rate of decrease in the mobility of charged particles in the target battery type under different magnetic field intensities is calculated, and the initial theoretical range of the magnetic field intensity is determined based on the preset decrease rate threshold.
[0089] Based on the cyclotron radius and magnetic freezing model, the cyclotron radius of charged particles is calculated under the magnetic field strength within the initial theoretical range. The magnetic field strength corresponding to the cyclotron radius being smaller than the particle size of the active particles of the electrode material is determined as the final lower limit of the theoretical range of the magnetic field strength.
[0090] The pulse width range in the theoretical range was obtained through statistical analysis of thermal runaway suppression experimental data for the target battery type.

[0098] Such as the speed of thermal motion The radius of gyration of lithium ions in a magnetic field of B=15 T is... Smaller than the particle size of the active particles in the electrode material ( "Magnetic freeze" occurs when ( ).
[0099] Reaction kinetics pause model: The magnetic field lowers the reactants ( The apparent diffusion coefficient Deff of ) makes the exchange current density The reaction rate decreases by an order of magnitude, thus "pausing" the electrochemical reaction.

[0152] Analysis of the mechanism of key technological advantages:
[0153] (1) "Physical freezing" and "chemical extinguishing": Traditional methods consume the three elements of combustion, while this invention directly acts on charged particles, "pausing" the reaction kinetics. In 150 experiments, 15T / 1ms magnetic field intervention SOC= Ternary lithium batteries, success rate .
[0154] (2) Step-by-step improvement in energy efficiency: Magnetic field energy penetrates the battery casing without loss, directly affecting microscopic particles. Only about 20 kJ is needed to suppress early thermal runaway in a 100Ah cell, while water-based fire suppression has insufficient effective energy utilization. The difference is three orders of magnitude.
[0155] (3) Scientific basis for reversible intervention potential: The obstruction effect disappears immediately after the magnetic field is removed. In 50 early internal short circuit intervention experiments, the open circuit voltage and internal resistance returned to normal after the cell was cooled in 41 of them.
