[0126] Step 130: determining the lithium precipitation window of the target battery according to the first charging rate in a case where the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential meet a preset condition.

[0127] In the embodiments of the present application, the processing device determines the lithium precipitation window of the target battery according to the first charging rate in a case where the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential meet a preset condition. In the process of charging the battery, the thermodynamic lithium precipitation potential of the battery is 0 millivolt. In the case of lithium precipitation of the battery, the anode potential and the internal resistance potential of the battery become very close. Based on the anode potential and the internal resistance potential of the battery under the first charging rate under the target SOC, the lithium precipitation window of the battery is determined, thereby improving the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.

[0128] The preset condition can include but is not limited to that a first potential difference value between the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential is less than a first preset range, or the first potential difference value is 0, etc.

[0129] The first preset range can be used to represent a minimum potential difference value of the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential when the target battery is in the lithium precipitation state during the charging process.

[0130] It can be understood that for a lithium battery, the lithium precipitation window is the upper limit of the charging rate at which lithium ions precipitate metal lithium on the surface of the electrode material during the charging process of the lithium battery at the target SOC. When the charging rate of the lithium battery exceeds the upper limit of the charging rate corresponding to the lithium precipitation window, the lithium ions cannot be completely embedded in the whole positive electrode material, so that metal lithium is precipitated on the surface of the negative electrode material, that is, lithium precipitation or lithium plating.

[0131] For a sodium ion battery, the lithium precipitation window is the upper limit of the charging rate at which sodium ions precipitate metal sodium on the surface of the electrode material during the charging process of the sodium ion battery at the target SOC. When the charging rate of the sodium ion battery exceeds the upper limit of the charging rate corresponding to the lithium precipitation window, the sodium ions cannot be completely embedded in the whole positive electrode material, so that metal sodium is precipitated on the surface of the negative electrode material, that is, sodium precipitation or sodium plating.

[0132] The target charging rate corresponding to the lithium precipitation window of the target battery can include but is not limited to the first charging rate, or a charging rate that differs from the first charging rate by a preset charging rate difference.

[0133] In some embodiments, the processing device can determine the concentration polarization potential of the target battery under the first charging rate, and determine the lithium precipitation window of the target battery according to the first charging rate when the current anode potential, the current internal resistance potential and the concentration polarization potential meet the preset condition. Since there is a concentration polarization potential inside the battery, the lithium precipitation window of the battery is determined based on the anode potential, the internal resistance potential and the concentration polarization potential of the battery under the first charging rate at the target SOC, which is beneficial to further improve the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.

[0134] The concentration polarization potential is a potential difference between the positive and negative electrodes of the target battery, which is caused by the change of the concentration of various particles participating in the electrochemical reaction in the electrolyte inside the target battery due to the chemical reaction on both the positive and negative electrode plates of the target battery during the charging process.

[0135] The preset condition can include but is not limited to a second potential difference value of the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential and the concentration polarization potential being less than a second preset range, or the second potential difference value being 0.

[0136] The second preset range can be used to represent a minimum potential difference value of the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential and the concentration polarization potential when the target battery is in the lithium precipitation state during the charging process.

[0137] The scheme provided in the application, at the target state of charge, charges the target battery according to the first charging rate, and determines the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential of the target battery under the first charging rate, and in the case that the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential meet the preset condition, determines the lithium precipitation window of the target battery according to the first charging rate, in the battery charging process, the battery thermodynamic lithium precipitation potential is 0 millivolt, in the case that the battery appears lithium precipitation, the anode potential and the internal resistance potential of the battery become very close, based on the anode potential and the internal resistance potential of the battery under the target state of charge according to the first charging rate, the lithium precipitation window of the battery is determined, which is beneficial to improve the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.

[0138] Please refer to Figure 4 , which shows the flowchart of the lithium precipitation window determination method provided by another embodiment of the application. In a specific embodiment, the lithium precipitation window determination method can be applied to the processing device 300 in the lithium precipitation window determination system, and the following will take the processing device 300 as an example to elaborate the flowchart shown in the figure in detail, the lithium precipitation window determination method can include the following steps 210 to 260. Figure 4

[0139] Step 210: Determine the first corresponding relationship of the target battery under the target state of charge.

[0140] In this embodiment, in the case that the user needs to determine the lithium precipitation window of the target battery, the processing device can determine the first corresponding relationship of the target battery under the target SOC.

[0141] Specifically, in the case that the user needs to determine the lithium precipitation window of the target battery, the processing device can determine a plurality of anode potentials of the target battery under the target SOC charged by a plurality of preset charging rates, and determine the first corresponding relationship according to the plurality of preset charging rates and the plurality of anode potentials, the first corresponding relationship is determined according to the plurality of preset charging rates of the target battery under the target SOC and the plurality of anode potentials corresponding thereto, which improves the accuracy of the first corresponding relationship.

[0142] Each preset charging rate can correspond to an anode potential.

[0143] In the case that the target battery is in the target SOC, the processing device can respectively collect an anode potential after charging the target battery based on each preset charging rate for a preset time length, to obtain a plurality of anode potentials, each anode potential is a measured potential in the charging process of the corresponding each preset charging rate, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the first corresponding relationship determined according to the plurality of anode potentials and the plurality of preset charging rates.

[0144] Step 220: Determine the second corresponding relationship of the target battery under the target state of charge.​

[0145] In the embodiment, the processing device can determine the second correspondence relationship of the target battery at the target SOC.

[0146] Specifically, the processing device can determine a plurality of internal resistance potentials of the target battery at the target SOC under a plurality of preset charging rates, and determine the second correspondence relationship according to the plurality of preset charging rates and the plurality of internal resistance potentials, so as to improve the accuracy of the second correspondence relationship.

[0147] Each preset charging rate can correspond to an internal resistance potential.

[0148] The processing device can determine a current cell impedance of the target battery at the target SOC, and determine an internal resistance potential according to each preset charging rate and the current cell impedance, so as to obtain the plurality of internal resistance potentials, and improve the accuracy of the internal resistance potential.

[0149] The processing device can perform impedance testing on the target battery when the target battery is at the target SOC, so as to obtain the current cell impedance, which is beneficial to improve the calculation accuracy of the internal resistance potential according to the current cell impedance.

[0150] It can be understood that the impedance testing is Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) testing, and the EIS testing is an analysis method for studying the relationship between the electrochemical AC impedance and the frequency according to the small amplitude AC excitation signal in the form of sine law under the condition that the electrochemical battery is in the equilibrium state (open circuit state) or under the condition of certain stable direct current polarization.

[0151] As an example, a small current can be used to adjust the cell capacity of the target battery to any SOC state, and the target battery is left for ten minutes to restore the steady state, and a very small AC signal (for example, an AC signal with a frequency of 400Hz-150mHz) is applied to disturb the target battery, and the current cell impedance change of the target battery is measured to obtain the cell ohmic impedance value of the target battery, which is denoted as R Ω .

[0152] Step 230: charging the target battery according to the first charging rate at the target state of charge.

[0153] Step 240: determining the current anode potential according to the first correspondence relationship of the target battery and the first charging rate.

[0154] Step 250: determining a current internal resistance potential according to the second correspondence relationship of the target battery and the first charging rate.

[0155] Step 260: determining a lithium precipitation window of the target battery according to the first charging rate in a case where the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential meet a preset condition.

[0156] In the embodiment, the steps 230, 240, 250 and 260 can refer to the contents of the corresponding steps in the foregoing embodiments, which will not be described herein again.

[0157] In an application scenario, the target SOC of the target battery is 80%, the battery capacity of the target battery is 0.2 ampere hours (Ah), and the cell impedance R Ω = 0.24Ω.

[0158] The plurality of preset charging rates include a 0.4C charging rate, a 0.8C charging rate and a 1.2C charging rate, the preset time length is 10s, the plurality of anode potentials include a first anode potential, a second anode potential and a third anode potential, the plurality of internal resistance potentials include a first internal resistance potential, a second internal resistance potential and a third internal resistance potential, the 0.4C charging rate corresponds to the first anode potential and the first internal resistance potential, the 0.8C charging rate corresponds to the second anode potential and the second internal resistance potential, and the 1.2C charging rate corresponds to the third anode potential and the third internal resistance potential.

[0159] When the target battery is charged at the 0.4C charging rate, the first anode potential of 0.0396V is collected, and the first internal resistance potential is calculated according to the 0.4C charging rate, the battery capacity and the cell impedance R Ω = -0.4C·0.2Ah·0.24Ω = -0.0192V.

[0160] When the target battery is charged at the 0.8C charging rate, the second anode potential of -0.0155V is collected, and the second internal resistance potential is calculated according to the 0.8C charging rate, the battery capacity and the cell impedance R Ω = -0.8C·0.2Ah·0.24Ω = -0.0384V.

[0161] When the target battery is charged at the 1.2C charging rate, the third anode potential of -0.0406V is collected, and the third internal resistance potential is calculated according to the 1.2C charging rate, the battery capacity and the cell impedance R Ω = -1.2C·0.2Ah·0.24Ω = -0.0576V.

[0162] According to the 0.4C charging rate and the corresponding first anode potential 0.0396V, the 0.8C charging rate and the corresponding second anode potential -0.0155V, and the 1.2C and the corresponding third anode potential -0.0406V, the anode potential change curve can be determined, as shown in the solid line in FIG. 3. Figure 5

[0163] According to the 0.4C charging rate and the corresponding first internal resistance potential -0.0192V, the 0.8C charging rate and the corresponding second internal resistance potential -0.0384V, and the 1.2C and the corresponding third internal resistance potential -0.0576V, the internal resistance potential change curve can be determined, as shown in the dashed line in FIG. 3. Figure 5

[0164] The intersection of the anode potential change curve and the internal resistance potential change curve corresponds to the charging rate of 1.428C, and the charging rate 1.428C corresponding to the intersection is determined as the lithium precipitation window of the target battery.

[0165] The intersection of the anode potential change curve and the horizontal axis is the lithium precipitation window obtained by the battery thermodynamic lithium precipitation potential (0mV method) test, that is, the lithium precipitation window obtained by the 0mV method test at the target state of charge 80% is 0.72C, which has a large deviation from the true lithium precipitation window of the target battery.

[0166] The scheme provided in the embodiment determines the first corresponding relationship of the target battery at the target state of charge, and determines the second corresponding relationship of the target battery at the target state of charge, and charges the target battery according to the first charging rate at the target state of charge, and determines the current anode potential according to the first corresponding relationship and the first charging rate of the target battery, and determines the current internal resistance potential according to the second corresponding relationship and the first charging rate of the target battery, and in the case that the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential meet the preset condition, the lithium precipitation window of the target battery is determined according to the first charging rate, in the battery charging process, the battery thermodynamic lithium precipitation potential is 0 millivolt, in the case that the battery appears lithium precipitation, the anode potential and the internal resistance potential of the battery become very close, based on the anode potential and the internal resistance potential of the battery charged according to the first charging rate at the target state of charge, the lithium precipitation window of the battery is determined, which is beneficial to improve the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.

[0167] Further, the first corresponding relationship and the second corresponding relationship of the target battery at the target state of charge are calibrated in advance, so as to determine the current anode potential according to the first corresponding relationship, and determine the current internal resistance potential according to the second corresponding relationship, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential.

[0176] In some embodiments, the system for determining a lithium precipitation window can further include a camera for image acquisition of the anode of the target battery, the camera being in communication connection with the processing device and performing data interaction with the processing device.

[0177] The processing device can send a third acquisition instruction to the camera after the target battery has undergone the preset number of cyclic charging and discharging, the camera receiving and responding to the third acquisition instruction to perform image acquisition of the anode of the target battery, obtaining the anode image and sending the anode image to the processing device, and the processing device receiving the anode image returned by the camera.

[0178] The camera can include, but is not limited to, any one of a wide-angle camera, a macro camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera or a panoramic camera.

[0179] In some embodiments, the processing device can generate upload prompt information and receive the anode image uploaded by the user according to the upload prompt information.

[0180] The uploading prompt information can be used to prompt the user to upload the anode image of the target battery after a preset number of cycles of charging and discharging to the processing device. The uploading prompt information can include at least one of the following: sound prompt information, text prompt information, light prompt information, and the like.

[0181] Step 350: Determine whether the lithium precipitation window is accurate according to the anode image.

[0182] In this embodiment, the processing device can determine whether the lithium precipitation window of the target battery is accurate according to the anode image. Based on the anode image after a preset number of cycles of charging and discharging, the lithium precipitation window of the target battery is verified, which is beneficial to further improve the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.

[0183] In the case where the anode image contains the lithium precipitation image, it is determined that the lithium precipitation window is accurate. In the case where the anode image does not contain the lithium precipitation image, it is determined that the lithium precipitation window is inaccurate. Based on whether the anode image after the cycle of charging and discharging contains the lithium precipitation image, the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window is judged, which improves the accuracy of the judgment result.

[0184] The scheme provided in this embodiment is that, under a target state of charge, the target battery is charged according to a first charging rate, and the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential of the target battery under the first charging rate are determined. In the case where the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential meet a preset condition, the lithium precipitation window of the target battery is determined according to the first charging rate, and the anode image of the target battery after a preset number of cycles of charging and discharging is obtained. According to the anode image, it is determined whether the lithium precipitation window is accurate. In the process of charging the battery, the thermodynamic lithium precipitation potential of the battery is 0 millivolt. In the case where the battery precipitates lithium, the anode potential and the internal resistance potential of the battery become very close. Based on the anode potential and the internal resistance potential of the battery under the target state of charge and according to the first charging rate, the lithium precipitation window of the battery is determined, which is beneficial to improve the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.

[0185] Further, based on the anode image after a preset number of cycles of charging and discharging, the lithium precipitation window of the target battery is verified, which is beneficial to further improve the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.
