Abstract:

The deep application of lithium-ion batteries and the development trend toward high-capacity and high-energy systems have drawn increasing attention to the performance evolution of batteries under non-uniform heat transfer conditions. In this study, a 20 Ah pouch-type lithium iron phosphate battery was investigated by establishing a three-dimensional electrochemical-thermal coupled model of a single cell, considering 48 parallel electrode layers. The model was used to explore the thermal behavior, electrochemical behavior, and electrochemical characteristics of the cell under varying conditions of heat transfer area, convective heat transfer coefficient, and temperature gradient. The study revealed that under different heat transfer areas, at a 4C discharge rate, the temperature gradient varied significantly under different heat dissipation conditions, with a maximum temperature difference reaching 8.54℃ under certain conditions, and under 10C discharge, the temperature difference reached as high as 30℃. However, the temperature differences between the three heat transfer conditions were relatively small and were less affected by the heat transfer area. When varying the convective heat transfer coefficient, single-sided forced convection can effectively controlled overall temperature rise but exacerbated temperature non-uniformity in the thickness direction. At a 10C discharge rate, the cross-sectional temperature difference could reach 5.05℃, which was 1.64 times that under single-sided natural convection. Under different temperature gradients, the solid-phase lithium concentration at the anode during 10C discharge was 6.1 times that at 1C, and the peak anode overpotential increased by 91%. The research work has revealed the evolution law of the internal behavior of batteries under differential heat exchange conditions, providing a reference for the thermal management and safety design of high-rate and large-capacity batteries.

摘要:

锂离子电池的深度应用和大容量高能量的研发趋势促使电池在差异性换热条件下的性能演变备受关注。本研究以20 Ah的软包磷酸铁锂电池为对象,建立了考虑48层并联电芯的单体电池三维电化学-热耦合模型,探讨了单体电池在差异性的换热面积、对流传热系数和温度梯度条件下电池内外部的热行为、电行为以及电化学特征。研究发现,不同换热面积时,在4C放电时,不同换热条件下的温度梯度差异较大,其中某些条件下温差可达8.54℃,10C放电时的温差可达30℃,但三种换热条件之间温差相差不大,受换热面积影响较小。在不同传热系数时,单侧强制对流虽能有效控制整体温升,却加剧了厚度方向的温度不均匀性,10C放电时横截面温差可达5.05℃,为单侧自然对流的1.64倍。不同温度梯度时,10C放电时负极固相锂浓度是1C时的6.1倍,负极过电势峰值增加91%。研究工作揭示了差异性换热条件下电池内部行为的演化规律,为高倍率、大容量电池的热管理与安全设计提供了参考。
