Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery safety technology, and specifically to a method for decoupling the expansion force of lithium-ion batteries. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries can effectively reduce environmental pollution and energy consumption. Battery mechanical behavior is a characteristic of battery health and safety. As an electrochemical-physical structure, lithium-ion batteries experience particle volume expansion and contraction during lithium insertion / extraction, generating diffusion-induced stress. In practice, the battery's expansion force is coupled with various chemical reaction processes such as lithium insertion state, temperature, and side reactions. When using battery expansion force signals for battery state estimation or fault detection, it is necessary to decouple the expansion forces of each chemical reaction process. Therefore, accurately decoupling the expansion forces of each battery component is crucial.

[0018] Figure 4The figure shows the pure lithium insertion / extraction expansion force curves of the battery after charging at different rates and discharging at 0.05C, calculated in this embodiment. The figure shows that when the voltage is higher than 3.32V, the expansion force is low in sensitivity to the rate, that is, the pure lithium insertion / extraction expansion force corresponding to 0.05C discharge after charging at different rates remains basically unchanged. The fundamental reason is that the expansion or contraction of the battery particles is only related to the degree of lithium insertion or delithiation inside the particles.

[0022] Optionally, the battery expansion force-capacity reference curve ensures no battery side reactions through 0.05C charge and discharge data. The change in battery expansion force comes from the insertion and extraction of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes, ensuring that the expansion force in the expansion force-capacity reference curve is the pure lithium insertion / extraction expansion force.
[0023] Optionally, the battery side reactions include polarization, lithium plating, and gas production, as well as the temperature rise caused by the polarization, lithium plating, and gas production.

[0027] In this embodiment, since the battery test environment is -5℃ and it is a single charge-discharge test, based on the aforementioned assumptions, the additional expansion force of the battery under the current test conditions is the lithium deposition expansion force during the charging process. F LP Lithium peeling expansion force during discharge process FLS . Figure 5 The display shows the curve of battery expansion force as a function of battery SOC at different rate of increase, utilizing... Figure 5 By combining the data with step S5, the expansion force caused by additional side reactions in the battery can be decoupled. In this embodiment, it is the lithium deposition expansion force during the charging process. F LP Lithium peeling expansion force during discharge process F LS . Figure 6 The display shows the lithium peeling expansion force of the battery after charging at different rates and discharging at 0.05C. F LS The decoupling results, compared Figure 4 and Figure 6 It can be seen that during battery discharge, when the voltage is higher than 3.32V... F li The difference is small. F LS The difference is significant; the higher the charging rate, F LS The larger the value, the greater the lithium stripping capacity, which indirectly indicates the greater the degree of lithium deposition in the battery. Therefore, the lithium deposition situation of the battery can be characterized by the decoupled lithium stripping expansion force.
