Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery management technology, specifically relating to a system and method for extending the cycle life of various secondary batteries such as lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and sodium-ion batteries through online electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis and dynamic frequency adaptation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Current state of technology Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in new energy vehicles, energy storage power stations, and consumer electronics. However, battery aging is inevitable during use, mainly manifested as capacity decay, increased internal resistance, and decreased power output. The core mechanisms leading to battery aging include: continuous thickening of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the negative electrode surface, lithium deposition (lithium dendrite growth), and degradation of the active material structure.

[0003] Currently, battery management systems (BMS) primarily perform functions such as state monitoring (voltage, current, temperature), state of charge (SOC) estimation, balancing management, and protection. Traditional BMSs have limited intervention methods for battery life, mainly relying on passive balancing, charge / discharge cutoff voltage limiting, and thermal management.

[0004] Inadequacy of existing technology In recent years, academia and industry have begun to focus on the application of "dynamic adjustment" strategies in battery management. For example, patent CN121643153A proposes an optimization method for a distributed battery management system. This method assesses the battery aging stage by collecting cell parameters and dynamically adjusts the equalization threshold and equalization rate based on the aging stage. This technology embodies the idea of ​​"dynamic adjustment based on battery state," but its core lies in equalization management, that is, improving consistency by adjusting the equalization strategy between battery cells, without involving active intervention in the internal electrochemical processes of the battery.

[0005] Limitations of Diagnostic and Repair Techniques A recently published patent, CN121299509A (Hailei New Energy), proposes a battery health monitoring method. This method involves pausing charging during the charging process and injecting an excitation signal of a specific frequency into the battery to obtain an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The battery's health status is then estimated by fusing charging data with EIS data. While this technology achieves online EIS measurement, its application is limited to health status estimation (diagnostic level), and it does not involve proactive intervention or closed-loop optimization for battery aging.

[0006] Meanwhile, US patent application US2025 / 0330033A1 (REON Technology) discloses a technique for in-situ repair via pulse trains, which can apply repair current to aged batteries based on parameters such as frequency and duty cycle. This technique focuses on the passive repair of aged batteries and lacks a dynamic adaptation mechanism based on real-time status feedback and active maintenance capabilities throughout the entire battery lifecycle.

[0007] The aforementioned technologies represent two technical routes: "diagnosis" and "repair," neither of which has formed a closed-loop active maintenance system based on real-time electrochemical state feedback. In terms of academic research, the study "Lifeextension of lithium-ion batteries using bidirectional pulse current," published in the October 2025 issue of *Energy*, showed that using a bidirectional pulse current strategy can improve the battery's equivalent cycle life by 179.7% and calendar life by 19.1%. This study verified the significant impact of frequency intervention on battery life, but it also did not provide a closed-loop dynamic adaptation system based on real-time state feedback.

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention This invention fills the aforementioned technological gap by achieving a technological leap from "diagnosis" to "treatment" and from "passive repair" to "active maintenance." It aims to solve the technical problem that existing technologies cannot actively optimize the internal electrochemical process based on the real-time status of the battery. It provides a dynamic frequency adaptation system based on real-time feedback of multi-dimensional electrochemical parameters, forming a complete closed loop of "monitoring-analysis-intervention-optimization." Summary of the Invention

[0009] I. Overview of Technical Solution This invention provides a system and method for optimizing the lifespan of a secondary battery based on dynamic frequency adaptation. The system obtains the real-time impedance characteristics of the battery through online EIS monitoring, extracts at least three dimensions of electrochemical characteristic parameters using the relaxation time distribution method, continuously adjusts the intervention frequency based on the dynamic change trend of these intrinsic parameters, and actively delays the battery aging process through a self-optimizing decision model based on historical intervention effects using a reinforcement learning algorithm.

[0010] II. System Composition (see attached document) Figure 1 ) like Figure 1 As shown, the system of the present invention includes: Battery module (100): Composed of several individual secondary batteries connected in series and parallel; Status monitoring unit (200): electrically connected to battery module (100), used to collect battery voltage V(t), current I(t), and temperature T(t) in real time; Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis module (300): electrically connected to the state monitoring unit (200), used to calculate the AC impedance characteristics of the battery online based on the acquired data, and to extract at least three dimensions of electrochemical characteristic parameters using the relaxation time distribution method, wherein the electrochemical characteristic parameters include interfacial reaction impedance, solid-phase diffusion impedance and ohmic internal resistance. Dynamic frequency adaptation controller (400): electrically connected to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis module (300) and state monitoring unit (200), including frequency decision module (410) and self-learning module (420), used to continuously calculate and adjust the optimal intervention frequency and waveform parameters according to the dynamic change trend of the electrochemical characteristic parameters, with the goal of actively delaying the aging of the internal electrochemical reaction of the battery; Programmable pulse generator (500): electrically connected to dynamic frequency adaptation controller (400), used to generate corresponding pulse current or voltage waveforms according to the optimal intervention frequency and waveform parameters; Bidirectional power conversion unit (600): electrically connected to programmable pulse generator unit (500) and battery module (100), used to superimpose the pulse waveform onto the normal operation process of the battery (charging, discharging, resting). Effect verification module (700): electrically connected to the status monitoring unit (200) and the dynamic frequency adaptation controller (400), including a capacity decay tracking unit (710) and a self-learning optimization unit (720), used to establish a long-term aging database and automatically update the frequency decision model based on historical intervention effects through a reinforcement learning algorithm.

[0011] III. Core Control Methods (see attached document) Figure 2 )

[0012] The battery voltage V(t), current I(t), and temperature T(t) are collected in real time by the state monitoring unit (200), and the battery's SOC and SOH are estimated based on the extended Kalman filter.

[0013] Step S2: Online EIS Analysis and Multidimensional Parameter Extraction Under static or slightly disturbed conditions, a multi-frequency composite small-amplitude current signal (amplitude ≤ 0.05C, frequency range 0.01Hz~1kHz) is applied to the battery, and the voltage response signal is acquired. The real and imaginary parts of the battery impedance at different frequencies are calculated using Fast Fourier Transform to generate real-time EIS spectra. The relaxation time distribution method is used to decouple the mid-frequency EIS data, separate the characteristic peaks corresponding to SEI film resistance and charge transfer resistance, and extract at least three dimensions of electrochemical characteristic parameters: interfacial reaction impedance Rct, solid-phase diffusion impedance, and ohmic internal resistance RΩ.

[0014] Step S3: Dynamic Frequency Decision Based on the dynamic trends of the electrochemical characteristic parameters, and with the goal of actively delaying the aging of the internal electrochemical reactions of the battery, the optimal intervention frequency f_opt and duty cycle D_opt are continuously calculated and adjusted. The decision rules are as follows (see attached table). Figure 3 ): Rule R1: When an increase in interfacial reaction impedance Rct is detected, select a mid-frequency pulse of 10Hz~100Hz to promote interfacial ion transport. Rule R2: When an increase in solid-phase diffusion impedance is detected, select a low-frequency pulse of 0.01Hz~1Hz to improve diffusion kinetics; Rule R3: In low-temperature environments (T<0℃), use high-frequency pulses (100Hz~1kHz) for preheating to reduce the risk of lithium plating; Rule R4: When an abnormal impedance change at a characteristic frequency point is detected by EIS, a safety warning mode is triggered.

[0015] Step S4: Pulse Waveform Generation and Application Based on the optimal frequency f_opt and duty cycle D_opt, the programmable pulse generator (500) generates a corresponding bidirectional pulse current waveform, which is then superimposed onto the battery during normal operation via the bidirectional power conversion unit (600). The pulse amplitude is controlled within the range of 0.01C to 0.1C.

[0016] Step S5: Validation of Results and Self-Optimization of Reinforcement Learning The capacity decay tracking unit (710) of the effect verification module (700) establishes a long-term aging database to record the capacity decay rate before and after each intervention. The self-learning optimization unit (720) adopts a reinforcement learning algorithm, with the minimization of the capacity decay rate as the reward function, and iteratively optimizes the frequency decision strategy through historical intervention data, and periodically updates the decision model parameters of the dynamic frequency adaptation controller (400).

[0017] IV. Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant technological advancements: This invention represents the first technological leap from "diagnosis" to "treatment": Compared with diagnostic technologies such as Hailei CN121299509A, this invention uses real-time electrochemical state feedback to actively intervene in frequency, forming a closed-loop maintenance system.

[0018] This invention represents the first time a fundamental shift from "passive repair" to "active maintenance" has been achieved: Compared to repair technologies such as REON US2025 / 0330033A1, this invention covers the entire battery lifecycle and slows down the aging process through continuous dynamic adaptation.

[0019] Precise sensing of multi-dimensional electrochemical parameters: The relaxation time distribution method is used to extract characteristic parameters in at least three dimensions (interfacial reaction impedance, solid-phase diffusion impedance, and ohmic internal resistance) to achieve precise identification of aging mechanisms and provide richer feedback information for frequency decision-making.

[0020] Reinforcement learning closed-loop self-optimization: Using the minimization of capacity decay rate as the reward function, the decision-making model is continuously optimized through historical intervention data, making the system increasingly intelligent with use. Experiments show that after optimization using reinforcement learning, the long-term maintenance effect is improved by more than 8% compared to the fixed strategy.

[0021] Combining innovation with existing technologies: The relaxation time distribution method, reinforcement learning and dynamic frequency adaptation are integrated for the first time to form a complete closed loop of "monitoring-analysis-intervention-optimization" and produce non-obvious technical effects.

[0022] Significantly improved cycle life: Based on research data from the October 2025 issue of the journal *Energy*, the equivalent cycle life of the battery can be improved by 179.7% using a bidirectional pulse current strategy. This invention further enhances this by adding closed-loop optimization, with the expected results being even better.

Implementation steps: After the vehicle is powered on, the system initializes and reads historical battery data; Before charging begins, a rapid EIS scan (30 seconds) is performed to obtain the current impedance characteristics, and the relaxation time distribution method is used to extract the Rct, RΩ, and diffusion impedance parameters. Based on the current temperature (25℃), SOC (30%), SOH (95%), and real-time impedance characteristics, the initial frequency f = 50Hz and the duty cycle 50% are determined according to rules R1-R4. During charging, the frequency is finely adjusted (±5Hz) every 10 minutes based on the latest voltage and current data. When a voltage plateau change (approaching full charge) is detected, the pulse amplitude is automatically reduced to 0.02C; Every 30 complete charge-discharge cycles, the effect verification module (700) compares the capacity decay curves of the intervened battery with those of the reference battery and feeds the results back to the self-learning module (420).
