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.

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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.

[0127] The concentration polarization potential is a potential difference between the positive and negative electrodes of the target battery caused by the change of the concentration of various particles participating in the electrochemical reaction in the electrolyte inside the target battery, that is, the concentration of the electrolyte inside the target battery changes before and after charging.

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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.

[0130] The scheme provided in the application is that, under the target state of charge, the target battery is charged according to the 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, 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, and 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 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.

[0131] Please refer to FIG. 4, which shows a flow chart of the lithium precipitation window determination method provided in 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. In the following, the processing device 300 will be taken as an example to elaborate the flow shown in FIG. 4 in detail. The lithium precipitation window determination method can include the following steps 210 to 260.

[0132] Step 210: Determine the first corresponding relationship of the target battery under the target state of charge.

[0133] In the 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.

[0134] 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 and 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 corresponding plurality of anode potentials, which improves the accuracy of the first corresponding relationship.

[0135] Each preset charging rate can correspond to one anode potential.

[0136] In the case that the target battery is in the target SOC, the processing device can respectively collect one anode potential after the target battery is charged for a preset time length based on each preset charging rate, so as 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.

[0137] Step 220: Determine the second corresponding relationship of the target battery under the target state of charge.

[0138] In the embodiment, the processing device can determine the second correspondence relationship of the target battery at the target SOC.

[0139] 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.

[0140] Each preset charging rate can correspond to an internal resistance potential.

[0141] The processing device can determine the 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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 .

[0145] Step 230: charging the target battery according to the first charging rate at the target state of charge.

[0146] Step 240: determining the current anode potential according to the first correspondence relationship of the target battery and the first charging rate.

[0147] Step 250: determining a current internal resistance potential according to the second correspondence relationship of the target battery and the first charging rate.

[0148] 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.

[0149] In the embodiment, steps 230, 240, 250 and 260 can refer to the content of the corresponding steps in the foregoing embodiments, which will not be described here again.

[0150] 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), the cell impedance R Ω = 0.24Ω.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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 by the solid line in FIG. 5.

[0156] 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 by the dashed line in FIG. 5.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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 at the target state of charge, charges the target battery according to the first charging rate, 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 at 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] Please refer to FIG. 6, which shows a flowchart of the method for determining the lithium precipitation window according to another embodiment of the present application.

The method for determining the lithium precipitation window can include the following steps 310 to 350.

[0162] Step 310: Charging the target battery at the target state of charge according to a first charging rate.

[0165] In the present embodiment, the steps 310, 320 and 330 can refer to the contents of the corresponding steps in the foregoing embodiments, which will not be described herein again.

[0166] Step 340: Obtaining the anode image of the target battery after a preset number of cyclic charging and discharging.

[0167] In the present embodiment, the processing device can obtain the anode image of the target battery after a preset number of cyclic charging and discharging.

[0168] In the present embodiment, the charging process of each cycle of charging and discharging starts from the target SOC as the initial charging state and charges the target battery for a preset time duration based on the target charging rate corresponding to the lithium precipitation window.

[0169] In some embodiments, the system for determining the lithium precipitation window can further include a camera for image acquisition of the anode of the target battery. The camera is in communication connection with the processing device and performs data interaction with the processing device.

[0170] After the target battery undergoes a preset number of cycles of charging and discharging, the processing device can send a third acquisition instruction to the camera. The camera receives and responds to the third acquisition instruction to perform image acquisition of the anode of the target battery, obtains the anode image, and sends the anode image to the processing device. The processing device receives the anode image returned by the camera.

[0171] In the present embodiment, 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, etc.

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.

[0173] 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 charge and discharge to the processing device. The uploading prompt information can include, but is not limited to, at least one of sound prompt information, text prompt information, or light prompt information.

[0174] Step 350: Determine whether the lithium precipitation window is accurate according to the anode image.

[0175] 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 charge and discharge, the lithium precipitation window of the target battery is verified, which is beneficial to further improve the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.

[0176] 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 not accurate. Based on whether the anode image after the cycle of charge and discharge contains the lithium precipitation image, the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window is judged, which improves the accuracy of the judgment result.

[0177] The scheme provided in this embodiment is that, under a target state of charge, the target battery is charged according to a first charge rate, and the current anode potential and the current internal resistance potential of the target battery under the first charge 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 charge rate, and the anode image of the target battery after a preset number of cycles of charge and discharge is obtained, and whether the lithium precipitation window is accurate is determined according to the anode image. In the process of battery charging, the battery thermodynamic lithium precipitation potential 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 charged according to the first charge rate, the lithium precipitation window of the battery is determined, which is beneficial to improve the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.

[0178] Further, the lithium precipitation window of the target battery is verified based on the anode image after a preset number of cycles of charge and discharge, which is beneficial to further improve the determination accuracy of the lithium precipitation window.

[0182] The current charging rate is obtained according to the first charging rate in a case where the target anode potential and the target internal resistance potential of the vehicle battery at the first charging rate satisfy a preset condition.

[0183] Specifically, the vehicle can be configured with a lithium precipitation window determination system. In a case where it is determined that the braking instruction is received, the processing device can send a fourth charging instruction carrying the first charging rate to the charging device. The charging device receives and responds to the fourth charging rate, and charges the vehicle battery according to the first charging rate. The processing device sends a fourth acquisition instruction to the BMS. The BMS receives and responds to the fourth acquisition instruction, and acquires the potential of the anode of the vehicle battery to obtain the target anode potential, and sends the target anode potential to the processing device. The processing device receives the target anode potential returned by the BMS, and calculates the target internal resistance potential according to the target cell impedance of the vehicle battery and the first charging rate. In a case where the target anode potential and the target internal resistance potential satisfy a preset condition, the current charging rate is determined according to the first charging rate.

[0184] The preset condition can include but is not limited to that a third potential difference value between the target anode potential and the target internal resistance potential is less than a third preset range, or the third potential difference value is 0, etc.

[0185] The third preset range can be used to represent the minimum potential difference value between the target anode potential and the target internal resistance potential in a case where the vehicle battery precipitates lithium during charging.

[0186] In some embodiments, when the driver needs to brake the vehicle, the driver can step on the brake pedal of the vehicle. The brake pedal generates a braking signal, and reports the braking signal to the processing device. The processing device determines that the vehicle receives the braking instruction according to the received braking signal, and determines the current charging rate according to the lithium precipitation window of the vehicle battery.

[0187] Step 420: controlling the vehicle to perform energy recovery according to the current charging rate.

[0188] In the embodiment, the processing device can control the vehicle to perform energy recovery according to the current charging rate. In the energy recovery process of the vehicle, the vehicle is controlled to perform energy recovery according to the lithium precipitation window of the vehicle battery, so as to avoid that an excessive pulse current causes an impact on the vehicle battery and leads to a performance decline of the vehicle battery, and to be beneficial to improve the service life of the vehicle battery.
