The invention also provides a maintenance and regeneration method of the lithium slurry battery, which utilizes the maintenance and regeneration equipment of the lithium slurry battery to perform maintenance operations such as liquid injection, liquid supplement, gas injection and exhaust on the lithium slurry battery with a gas port and a liquid port and regeneration operations such as liquid replacement on the lithium slurry battery.
In the method for maintaining and regenerating a lithium slurry battery, the electrolyte injection process may include the steps of: (1) butt joint of gas and liquid ports: butting and sealing an air nozzle and a liquid nozzle of the maintenance regeneration equipment with an air port and a liquid port of the lithium slurry battery; (2) vacuumizing: opening a vacuumizing device and a first gas control valve, vacuumizing the lithium slurry battery through an air nozzle, and closing the vacuumizing device and the first gas control valve; (3) liquid injection: starting the gas driving device/the second liquid pump and the second liquid control valve, injecting the lithium slurry battery through the liquid nozzle, and closing the gas driving device/the second liquid pump and the second liquid control valve when the lithium slurry battery is filled with the electrolyte; (4) alternately vacuumizing and injecting liquid: repeating the steps (2) - (3) for 3-5 times; (5) and (4) finishing injection: and pulling the air nozzle and the liquid nozzle out of the air port and the liquid port of the lithium slurry battery, and sealing the air port and the liquid port of the lithium slurry battery. Through the steps, the initial liquid injection of the lithium slurry battery can be realized.
In addition, the lithium slurry battery can be weighed in the process of injecting the lithium slurry battery, so that the lithium slurry battery can be accurately injected. In particular toIn the step (1), before the air nozzle and the liquid nozzle of the maintenance regeneration equipment are butted with the air port and the liquid port of the lithium paste battery, the weight m of the lithium paste battery which is not injected with liquid is recorded by a weighing device1In the above step (5), after the air nozzle and the liquid nozzle are pulled out from the air port and the liquid port of the lithium paste battery, the weight m of the lithium paste battery in which the liquid injection has been completed is recorded by the weighing device2The amount of injected lithium paste is calculated from the difference in weight between the lithium paste batteries before and after the injection.
In addition, in order to fully infiltrate the battery cells in the lithium slurry battery or the battery cells in the single body, in the step (3), after the lithium slurry battery is filled with the electrolyte, the gas driving device and the second gas control valve may be opened to pressurize the interior of the lithium slurry battery and the lithium slurry battery may be left to stand. The pressurization pressure may be, for example, 0.2MPa to 0.5MPa, and the standing time may be, for example, 3 to 60 seconds.
In the method for maintaining and regenerating the lithium slurry battery, the liquid replenishing process may include the steps of: (1) butt joint of gas and liquid ports: butting and sealing an air nozzle and a liquid nozzle of the maintenance regeneration equipment with an air port and a liquid port of the lithium slurry battery, and starting a monitoring device of the maintenance regeneration equipment to monitor the voltage and the temperature of the lithium slurry battery; (2) vacuumizing: opening a vacuumizing device and a first gas control valve, vacuumizing the lithium slurry battery through an air nozzle, and closing the vacuumizing device and the first gas control valve; (3) liquid injection: starting the gas driving device/the second liquid pump and the second liquid control valve, injecting the lithium slurry battery through the liquid nozzle, and closing the gas driving device/the second liquid pump and the second liquid control valve when the lithium slurry battery is filled with the electrolyte; (4) alternately vacuumizing and injecting liquid: repeating the steps (2) - (3) for 3-5 times; (5) and (4) finishing injection: and closing the monitoring device, pulling out the air nozzle and the liquid nozzle from the air port and the liquid port of the lithium slurry battery, and sealing the air port and the liquid port of the lithium slurry battery. It can be seen that, the liquid injection process and the liquid replenishing process both include the step of alternately vacuumizing and injecting liquid for a plurality of times, because bubbles may exist in the lithium slurry battery after liquid injection, and the existence of the bubbles will affect the performance of the lithium slurry battery, so that the bubbles in the electrolyte of the lithium slurry battery are pumped out in a way of vacuumizing above the liquid level of the electrolyte, which is beneficial to filling the whole lithium slurry battery with liquid through further liquid injection.
In the method for maintaining and regenerating the lithium slurry battery, the liquid changing process may include the steps of: (1) discharging: discharging the lithium slurry battery to zero charge capacity; (2) butt joint of gas and liquid ports: butting and sealing an air nozzle and a liquid nozzle of the maintenance regeneration equipment with an air port and a liquid port of the lithium slurry battery; (3) liquid drainage: simultaneously opening a gas driving device, a second gas control valve, a first liquid pump and a first liquid control valve to discharge the electrolyte in the lithium slurry battery to a liquid recovery device through a liquid nozzle, and closing the gas driving device, the second gas control valve, the first liquid pump and the first liquid control valve after the liquid discharge is finished; (4) liquid injection and cleaning: a. vacuumizing: opening a vacuumizing device and a first gas control valve, vacuumizing the lithium slurry battery through an air nozzle, and closing the vacuumizing device and the first gas control valve; b. injecting a cleaning solution: switching the liquid storage tank to a cleaning liquid storage tank, starting the gas driving device/the second liquid pump and a second liquid control valve, injecting cleaning liquid into the lithium slurry battery through the liquid nozzle, and closing the gas driving device/the second liquid pump and the second liquid control valve when the cleaning liquid is filled in the lithium slurry battery; c. supercharging: starting a gas driving device and a second gas control valve to pressurize the interior of the lithium slurry battery; d. cleaning: heating and vibrating the lithium slurry battery, thereby fully cleaning the lithium slurry battery; (5) alternately discharging liquid and injecting liquid for cleaning: repeating the steps (3) to (4) for 1-5 times; (6) liquid drainage: simultaneously opening a gas driving device, a second gas control valve, a first liquid pump and a first liquid control valve to discharge cleaning liquid in the lithium slurry battery to a liquid recovery device through a liquid nozzle, and closing the gas driving device, the second gas control valve, the first liquid pump and the first liquid control valve after liquid discharge is finished; (7) and (4) secondary liquid injection: a. vacuumizing: opening a vacuumizing device and a first gas control valve, vacuumizing the lithium slurry battery through an air nozzle, and closing the vacuumizing device and the first gas control valve; b. liquid injection: switching the liquid storage tank to an electrolyte storage tank, starting the gas driving device/the second liquid pump and starting the second liquid control valve, injecting electrolyte into the lithium slurry battery through the liquid nozzle, and closing the gas driving device/the second liquid pump and closing the second liquid control valve when the lithium slurry battery is fully injected with the electrolyte; c. supercharging: starting a gas driving device and a second gas control valve to pressurize the interior of the lithium slurry battery; (8) and (5) finishing liquid change: and pulling the air nozzle and the liquid nozzle out of the air port and the liquid port of the lithium slurry battery, and sealing the air port and the liquid port of the lithium slurry battery. Through the steps, the liquid can be changed for the lithium slurry battery used for a period of time. By replacing the liquid for the lithium slurry battery, the service life of the battery can be effectively prolonged, and the performance of the battery can be improved.
In addition, a step of breaking the SEI film and repairing the SEI film may be included in a liquid replacement process of the lithium paste battery. Specifically, after the lithium slurry battery is discharged in the step (1), the SEI film on the surfaces of the positive and negative electrode materials and the current collector of the lithium slurry battery can be damaged by high-temperature treatment, ultrasonic heating, repeated high-temperature charge and discharge, large-current charge and discharge, or high-potential overcharge and discharge; in the case where the electrolyte solution storage tank further includes an SEI film reactive type breaker storage tank, the SEI film may be removed by injecting an SEI film reactive type breaker into the lithium paste battery; in addition, the maintenance regeneration device can be combined with other devices to remove the SEI film of the lithium slurry battery, for example, the maintenance regeneration device is combined with a low-temperature device to remove the SEI film by low-temperature standing, cold and hot alternation and other methods.
