基于参比电极的析锂电池安全充电控制

电池系统是支撑下一代新型电网的关键,然而不合理的充放电策略会使电池发生析锂副反应,导致电池充放电性能大幅减弱。因此,文中针对三元锂离子电池,基于参比电极揭示了析锂后电池的充电性能变化情况,并对其安全充电电流进行控制。首先,设计不同温度下的充放电循环实验,得到低温循环与高温循环后的电池;其次,通过植入参比电极标定安全充电曲线对比电池的负极电位,发现高温循环后的电池发生了析锂,且平均充电电流相比新电池降低了61.7%;最后,对析锂后的电池建立安全充电荷电状态-温度-电流等高线图,对比新电池等高线图后发现,200 A以上的充电电流区域减少了69.84%。文中提供了一个析锂后电池充电性能衰减的量化指标,需要在实际的锂离子电池全寿命周期管理中予以考虑。

Thermal Modeling and Cooling Analysis of High-power Lithium Ion Cells

The heat generation model and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model for lithium ion cells were established with boundary conditions defined.In order to provide a better insight about the behaviors of high-power lithium ion cells under realistic discharge conditions,the temperature difference of the cells and an active thermal management system with a pure air-cooling mode were analyzed and predicted with the factors affecting the unevenness of temperature field discussed.The results show a significant effect of the cooling flow rate on the temperature rise of the cells for all discharge rates.Average surface temperatures are relatively uniform at lower discharge rate that makes it easier to control the temperature of the pack.Cell temperatures are expected to rise significantly toward the end of discharge and they show non-uniformity at higher discharge rates.Adequate air flow rate of active cooling is required at high discharge rate and high ambient temperature for practical pack thermal management system.
