[0008] In some embodiments, selecting electrode materials that meet the design description information from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name includes: determining the electrode material as the electrode material that meets the design description information in response to the preset electrochemical model library containing only one electrochemical model including the electrolyte name and electrode material name corresponding to the electrolyte and electrode material names. Based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name, selecting from the preset electrochemical model library whether there exists an electrochemical model that matches the electrolyte name with the electrode material name; if only one electrochemical model meets this condition, then the electrode material in that electrochemical model is the electrode material that meets the description information.

[0009] In some embodiments, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name.

This method of determining the electrode material as meeting the design description information in response to the preset electrochemical model library containing only one electrochemical model including the electrode material corresponding to the electrode name further simplifies the electrode material determination process and thus further improves the efficiency of determining the electrochemical model.

[0012] In some embodiments, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrode name. This includes: in response to the preset electrochemical model library containing multiple electrochemical models that all include electrode materials corresponding to the electrode name, determining the electrode material as the electrode material that meets the design description information based on the accuracy priority of the multiple electrochemical models. Determining the electrode material as the electrode material that meets the design description information based on the accuracy priority of the multiple electrochemical models improves the accuracy of the electrode material selection.

[0013] In some embodiments, selecting electrode materials that meet the design description information from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrode name includes: in response to the preset electrochemical model library not containing electrode materials corresponding to the electrode name, determining the electrode material as an electrode material that meets the design description information based on the battery chemistry system type to which the electrode material belongs. Determining the electrode material as an electrode material that meets the design description information based on the battery chemistry system type to which the electrode material belongs makes the selected electrode material more suitable for the electrochemical model.

[0014] In some embodiments, the design description information includes the electrolyte name and the separator name, and the preset model database includes a preset material library. Based on the design description information, electrochemical model parameters that meet the design description information are selected from the preset model database. This includes selecting electrolytes and separators that meet the design description information from the preset material library based on the electrolyte name and the separator name.

[0015] In some embodiments, the design description information further includes electrode design parameters. Based on the design description information, electrochemical model parameters that satisfy the design description information are selected from a preset model database.

[0035] Currently, judging from market trends, the application of power batteries is becoming increasingly widespread. Power batteries are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also extensively used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as in military equipment and aerospace. With the continuous expansion of power battery applications, market demand is also constantly increasing.

[0036] In related technologies, determining the electrochemical model of a battery typically relies on the user creating and confirming key material parameters step by step based on experience, or selecting a case from a library and modifying the corresponding parameters. However, the available material libraries or battery model databases are limited during the electrochemical model building process, making it difficult to match the model / material to the user's input. Even a rough match cannot guarantee accuracy. The accuracy of the electrochemical model is entirely dependent on the user. In other words, neither efficiency nor accuracy can be guaranteed when the user determines the electrochemical model.

[0037] Based on this, this application discloses a method for determining an electrochemical model, comprising: receiving design description information of a target battery, the design description information including the required parameters or design parameters of the target battery; selecting electrochemical model parameters that satisfy the design description information from a preset model database based on the design description information; and combining the electrochemical model parameters to generate a target electrochemical model for the target battery. By receiving the design description information of the target battery, electrochemical model parameters that satisfy the design description information can be selected and combined to generate a target electrochemical model for the target battery. This allows for rapid matching of the most suitable model from a rich preset data model library with only a small number of standardized templates as input, improving the efficiency of determining the target electrochemical model. Furthermore, because the matching strategy comprehensively considers the correlation between electrochemical model parameters, it improves the matching accuracy of the target electrochemical model.

[0038] The method for determining the electrochemical model disclosed in this application is applicable not only to the determination of the electrochemical model during the user requirement stage before battery design and development, but also to the updating of battery design schemes for completed historical battery designs.

[0039] The batteries mentioned above can be battery products such as battery modules, battery packs, or battery cells. Obtaining an electrochemical model of a battery that meets user needs helps to improve the rationality of battery design solutions.

[0040] This application provides a method for determining an electrochemical model. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the method for determining the electrochemical model in some embodiments of this application. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the electrochemical model includes: step S110, receiving the design description information of the target battery, which includes the required parameters or design parameters of the target battery; step S120, selecting electrochemical model parameters that meet the design description information from a preset model database based on the design description information; and step S130, combining the electrochemical model parameters to generate the target electrochemical model of the target battery.

[0041] The execution subject of this application embodiment can be an electronic device, which can be, but is not limited to, a terminal or a server.

[0042] Step S110: Receive the design description information of the target battery, which includes the required parameters or design parameters of the target battery.

[0043] In this embodiment, the target battery refers to the battery used in determining the electrochemical model. The target battery does not specifically refer to a particular fixed battery. For example, the target battery could be an energy storage battery.

[0044] In this embodiment, the design description information can be either requirement parameters or design parameters. The requirement parameters are the customer's descriptions of various battery performance requirements input before battery solution design, based on the battery application scenario. The design parameters are the battery solution design content already completed based on the customer's requirements. Compared to design parameters, requirement parameters mostly describe battery parameters in a macroscopic way, while design parameters describe battery parameters more specifically, such as what positive electrode material, negative electrode material, electrolyte, and separator are used.

[0045] Step S120: Based on the design description information, select electrochemical model parameters that meet the design description information from the preset model database.

[0046] In this embodiment, the preset data model library can be divided into a preset material library and a preset electrochemical model library according to the different stored contents. The preset material library stores the physical properties of materials such as electrolytes and separators, and each material can contain multiple material types. The preset electrochemical model library stores multiple complete electrochemical models and the corresponding electrolyte, positive electrode material, negative electrode material, separator, and electrode design parameters for each electrochemical model.

[0047] The design description information, including both requirement parameters and design parameters, consists of lengthy textual descriptions. These can be analyzed to extract suitable electrochemical model parameters for benchmarking and selection. For example, key fields can be extracted from the design description information to determine the electrochemical model parameters. These key fields may include the names of the positive electrode material, negative electrode material, separator material, electrolyte, and battery design parameters. In one embodiment, the positive / negative electrode or electrolyte materials used in the battery design parameters may not be single materials. For instance, the positive electrode material may be a uniform mixture of materials A and B (mass ratio a:b), and the negative electrode material may be a uniform mixture of materials C and D or a layered coating design (mass ratio c:d). In this case, the key fields for each material (such as the name / ratio / capacity of the positive and negative electrode materials, and the name / injection ratio of the electrolyte) need to be extracted simultaneously.

[0048] The selected electrochemical model parameters represent the specific requirements for the positive and negative electrode properties or a certain performance index of the battery. Electrochemical model parameters can include positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, separator materials, electrolytes, and electrode design parameters. Electrode design parameters can include key electrode design information such as positive and negative electrode compaction density, coating weight per unit area, designed electrode thickness, full cell capacity, and the designed voltage range.

[0049] Step S130: Based on the electrochemical model parameters, generate the target electrochemical model of the target battery.

[0050] By combining electrochemical models of positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, separator materials, electrolytes, and battery design parameters, a target electrochemical model for the target battery can be generated.

[0051] In this embodiment, by receiving the design description information of the target battery, electrochemical model parameters that meet the design description information can be screened and combined to generate the target electrochemical model of the target battery. The most suitable model can be quickly matched from a rich preset data model library with only a small number of standardized templates as input, which improves the efficiency of determining the target electrochemical model. Furthermore, since the matching strategy comprehensively considers the correlation between electrochemical model parameters, the matching accuracy of the target electrochemical model is improved.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this application, the design description information also includes the electrolyte name and the electrode material name, and the preset model database also includes a preset electrochemical model library. Based on the design description information, electrochemical model parameters that meet the design description information are selected from the preset model database, including: based on the electrolyte name and the electrode material name, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from the preset electrochemical model library, wherein the electrodes include positive electrodes and negative electrodes.

[0053] In the embodiments of this application, since some properties of the electrode material are closely related to the electrolyte it is paired with, for example, when the same electrode material is paired with different types of electrolytes, the different compositions of the different types of electrolytes will result in different interfaces formed by the reaction between the electrode material and the electrolyte, which will affect the electrode's interfacial charge transfer capability. Therefore, when determining the electrode material, the electrode material can be determined according to the combination of the electrode material and the electrolyte.

[0054] The preset electrochemical model library can include multiple complete electrochemical models, as well as the corresponding electrolytes, positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, separators, and electrode design parameters for each electrochemical model.

[0055] When determining electrode materials, the process begins by selecting from a pre-defined electrochemical model library based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name. If a single electrochemical model satisfies this condition, its electrode material is considered the one that meets the description criteria. If multiple models satisfy this condition, the model with the highest accuracy is selected. The accuracy of the electrochemical model can be pre-marked during model creation. Higher accuracy indicates higher quality test data and more accurate initial material parameters, making the included parameters more reliable. For example, thermodynamic parameters can be calibrated using open-circuit voltage-state-of-charge curves at equilibrium, and kinetic parameters can be calibrated using polarized test data (typically time-current-voltage response curves).

[0056] If no electrochemical model exists in the preset electrochemical model library that matches both the electrolyte name and the electrode material name, then the library will be used to select electrochemical models that match the electrode material name. If only one model meets this condition, the electrode material in that model is considered the one that satisfies the description. If multiple models meet this condition, the model with the highest accuracy will be selected as the electrode material. If no model meets this condition, the electrode material will be determined based on the battery chemistry system to which it belongs.

[0057] In this embodiment, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name, which improves the accuracy of electrode materials and also improves the efficiency of determining the electrochemical model.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this application, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrolyte name and the electrode material name. This includes: in response to the preset electrochemical model library containing only one electrochemical model including the electrolyte name and the electrode material corresponding to the electrode material name, determining the electrode material as the electrode material that meets the design description information.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, based on the electrolyte name and the electrode material name, an electrochemical model is selected from a preset electrochemical model library to determine if there exists an electrochemical model that matches the electrolyte name and the electrode material name. If only one electrochemical model meets this condition, then the electrode material in that electrochemical model is the electrode material that meets the description information.

[0060] In this embodiment of the application, in response to the fact that the preset electrochemical model library contains only one electrochemical model including the electrolyte name and the electrode material name corresponding to the electrolyte and electrode material, the electrode material is determined to be the electrode material that meets the design description information, which simplifies the electrode material determination process and thus improves the determination efficiency of the electrochemical model.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this application, electrode materials that meet the design description information are screened from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name. This includes: in response to the preset electrochemical model library containing multiple electrochemical models that all include electrolytes and electrode materials corresponding to electrolyte names and electrode material names, the electrode material is determined to be an electrode material that meets the design description information based on the accuracy priority of the multiple electrochemical models.

[0062] Based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name, a screening process is performed to determine if an electrochemical model exists that matches both the electrolyte name and the electrode material name. If multiple electrochemical models meet this condition, the electrode material from the electrochemical model with the highest accuracy is selected as the electrode material, prioritizing the models based on their accuracy.

[0063] The accuracy of an electrochemical model can be marked in advance when the model is established. The higher the accuracy of the electrochemical model, the higher the quality of the test data used during the calibration of the model and the higher the accuracy of the initial material parameters, and the more reliable the parameters it includes.

[0064] In this embodiment, based on the accuracy priority of multiple electrochemical models, the electrode material is determined to be the electrode material that meets the design description information, thereby improving the accuracy of the electrode material.

[0065] According to some embodiments of this application, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrolyte name and electrode name. This includes: in response to the fact that none of the electrochemical models in the preset electrochemical model library include the electrolyte and electrode materials corresponding to the electrolyte name and electrode name, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from the preset electrochemical model library based on the electrode name.

[0066] Based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name, an electrochemical model is selected from a pre-defined electrochemical model library to match the electrolyte name with the corresponding electrode material. If no such model exists in the library, an electrochemical model matching the electrode material is selected. If only one model meets this condition, the electrode material in that model is considered the correct electrode material. If multiple models meet this condition, the model with the highest accuracy is selected as the correct electrode material.

[0067] In this embodiment, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrode name, thereby improving the accuracy of electrode materials.

[0068] According to some embodiments of this application, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrode name, including: in response to the preset electrochemical model library containing only one electrochemical model including the electrode material corresponding to the electrode name, determining the electrode material as the electrode material that meets the design description information.

[0069] Based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name, an electrochemical model is selected from a pre-defined electrochemical model library to determine if there exists an electrochemical model that matches both the electrolyte name and the electrode material. If no electrochemical model matching both the electrolyte name and the electrode material exists in the pre-defined electrochemical model library, then an electrochemical model matching the electrode material is selected from the pre-defined electrochemical model library. If only one electrochemical model meets this condition, then the electrode material in that electrochemical model is the electrode material that satisfies the description information.

[0070] In this embodiment of the application, in response to the fact that the preset electrochemical model library contains only one electrochemical model including the electrode material corresponding to the electrode name, the electrode material is determined to be the electrode material that meets the design description information, which further simplifies the process of determining the electrode material and thus further improves the efficiency of determining the electrochemical model.

[0071] According to some embodiments of this application, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrode name, including: in response to the preset electrochemical model library containing multiple electrochemical models that all include electrode materials corresponding to the electrode name, the electrode material is determined to be an electrode material that meets the design description information based on the accuracy priority of the multiple electrochemical models.

[0072] Based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name, an electrochemical model matching the electrolyte name and electrode material name is selected from a pre-defined electrochemical model library. If no such model exists in the library, an electrochemical model matching the electrode material name is selected. If multiple models meet this condition, the model with the highest accuracy is chosen as the electrode material.

[0073] In this embodiment, based on the accuracy priority of multiple electrochemical models, the electrode material is determined to be the electrode material that meets the design description information, thereby improving the accuracy of the electrode material.

[0074] According to some embodiments of this application, electrode materials that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrode name, including: in response to the preset electrochemical model library not containing electrode materials corresponding to the electrode name, determining the electrode material as an electrode material that meets the design description information based on the battery chemical system type to which the electrode material belongs.

[0075] Based on the electrolyte name and electrode material name, an electrochemical model matching the electrolyte name and electrode material name is selected from a pre-defined electrochemical model library. If no such model exists, an electrochemical model matching the electrode material name is selected from the library. If no model exists, an electrochemical model matching the electrode material name is selected. If all electrochemical models meet this condition, the electrode material can be determined based on its battery chemistry system type. For example, the battery chemistry system type of the electrode material could include silicon-carbon or lithium metal.

[0076] In this embodiment, the electrode material is determined to be an electrode material that meets the design description information based on the battery chemical system type to which the electrode material belongs, so that the selected electrode material is more suitable for the electrochemical model.

[0077] According to some embodiments of this application, the design description information includes the name of the electrolyte and the name of the separator, and the preset model database includes a preset material library. Based on the design description information, electrochemical model parameters that meet the design description information are selected from the preset model database, including: selecting electrolytes and separators that meet the design description information from the preset material library based on the name of the electrolyte and the name of the separator.

[0078] In this embodiment of the application, the preset data model library may include a preset material library, which is used to store the physical property parameters of materials such as electrolytes and separators, and each material may include multiple material types.

[0079] Since the properties of electrolyte and separator materials only include the properties of the materials themselves, they are not closely related to the design matching. That is, the combination of electrolyte or separator with different positive or negative electrode materials will not affect the properties of the electrolyte itself (such as the conductivity of the electrolyte at different temperatures, the diffusion coefficient of the electrolyte, etc.) or the properties of the separator itself (such as the separator thickness, porosity, tortuosity, etc.). They can be matched directly according to the material name.

[0080] In this embodiment, electrolytes and separators that meet the design description information are selected from a preset material library by using the names of the electrolyte and the separator, making the determination process of electrolyte and separator simple and accurate, thereby improving the efficiency of determining the electrochemical model.

[0081] According to some embodiments of this application, the design description information also includes electrode design parameters. Based on the design description information, electrochemical model parameters that meet the design description information are selected from a preset model database, including: based on the electrode design parameters, selecting electrode design parameters that meet the design description information from a preset electrochemical model library.

[0082] Once the positive electrode material, negative electrode material, electrolyte, and separator are determined, electrode design parameters that meet the description information can be selected from a pre-defined electrochemical model library. Electrode design parameters may include key electrode design information such as positive and negative electrode compaction density, coating weight per unit area, designed electrode thickness, full cell capacity, and designed voltage range.

[0083] In this embodiment, electrode design parameters that meet the design description information are selected from a preset electrochemical model library based on the electrode design parameters. The design of electrode parameters involves complex structure and material selection. Through fine design and optimization, the performance of the battery can be significantly improved.

[0084] According to some embodiments of this application, the method for determining the electrochemical model further includes: modifying the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters included in the electrochemical model based on the electrochemical model parameters in the target electrochemical model.

[0085] In the embodiments of this application, the thermodynamic parameters are mainly related to the theoretical design capacity of the battery formed by the combination of positive and negative electrode materials in the non-polarized state. The theoretical capacity is affected by the matching relationship between the positive and negative electrode materials. The thermodynamic parameters may include the maximum and minimum lithium intercalation amounts of the positive and negative electrodes, the efficiency relative to the theoretical specific capacity of the materials, and the equilibrium potentials of the positive and negative electrode materials.

[0086] The specific process for correcting the thermodynamic parameters is as follows: When both the matched positive and negative electrode materials are single materials, or when they are mixed materials but the mixed material can be considered a new material, the equilibrium potential curves of the positive and negative electrode materials in the thermodynamic parameters do not need to be modified, and the efficiency of the positive and negative electrode materials relative to the theoretical specific capacity can be considered unchanged. Based on the equilibrium potential curves of the positive and negative electrode materials and the design voltage range of the new model (upper voltage limit + lower voltage limit), the equilibrium potential curves of the positive and negative electrodes are automatically determined by shifting them left and right to determine the minimum lithium intercalation capacity of the positive electrode and the maximum lithium intercalation capacity of the negative electrode corresponding to the upper voltage limit, and the maximum lithium intercalation capacity of the positive electrode and the minimum lithium intercalation capacity of the negative electrode corresponding to the lower voltage limit. When the matched positive or negative electrode materials cannot be considered as single materials, the equilibrium potential curves of the positive and negative electrode materials in the thermodynamic parameters need to be assembled based on the equilibrium potential curves of the single materials and the theoretical specific capacity.

[0087] Kinetic parameters may include chemical reaction rate constants (related to the electrolyte, which affects film formation on the positive and negative electrode surfaces, thus affecting reactivity) characterizing the intrinsic reactivity of the positive and negative electrode materials; solid-phase diffusion coefficients characterizing the bulk lithium-ion diffusion capability of the positive and negative electrode materials; tortuosity (t) and Brug coefficients characterizing the tortuosity of the electrode pores; and electrolyte conductivity, lithium-ion transference number, and liquid-phase diffusion coefficients, which are related to the liquid-phase mass transfer of the electrolyte.

[0088] The conductivity, lithium-ion transport number, and liquid-phase diffusion coefficient of the electrolyte are not affected by the positive and negative electrode materials or electrode design (such as compaction density), and no further modifications are needed after recommendations based on the electrolyte material name. In porous electrodes, due to the influence of porosity / torsional density, the effective conductivity and effective liquid-phase diffusion coefficient in the actual electrode liquid phase are usually lower than the conductivity and diffusion coefficient of the electrolyte itself. The ratio between the two is related to porosity and tortuosity (ratio = porosity^Brug coefficient). The theoretical porosity can be directly calculated by the formula (porosity = 1 - material compaction density / true density). For the same negative or positive electrode material, the relationship between the Brug coefficient, porosity, and compaction density can be obtained through testing as a functional relationship. This functional relationship is built into the database. When generating a new model, it is necessary to convert the compaction density of the old model to the compaction density of the new model to obtain a Brug coefficient under the new compaction density.

[0089] The chemical reaction rate constant, which characterizes the intrinsic reactivity of positive and negative electrode materials, is highly correlated with the electrolyte (especially the electrochemical reaction rate constant of the negative electrode material). Therefore, when assembling the model, it is necessary to ensure that the negative electrode material recommended by the model with the same negative electrode + electrolyte and the positive electrode material recommended by the model with the same positive electrode + electrolyte are used as much as possible.
