Background
With the development of lithium ion battery technology, the requirements of battery performance, such as higher energy density and faster charging power, are increasing. Increasing the electrode thickness or decreasing the electrode porosity by compaction is the most common method of increasing the energy density of the cell, but both methods increase the transmission resistance in the direction of the electrode thickness. At present, attempts are made to improve the thickness liquid phase transmission capacity of the gradient electrode by preparing the gradient electrode, but when the conventional experimental method is adopted to design the battery electrode, time and effort are consumed, influence of experimental errors or imported incoherent factors such as interlayer interface membrane resistance and the like is difficult to avoid, and judgment of electrode optimization rules is interfered. And the electrochemical model is adopted to carry out structural design optimization on the electrode, so that experimental design (Design of Experiment, DOE) can be independently carried out, and a clearer design direction is obtained. However, the current electrochemical model does not consider the influence of the electrode design parameter change on the thickness of the battery core and the influence of the electrode design parameter change on the lithium separation safety behavior of the cathode, and the model parameter and the battery design parameter are not effectively related, so that the guiding significance of the model optimization result on the battery design is not great, and therefore, how to effectively connect the model parameter and the battery design parameter is established, and the electrode structure parameter is screened by a more reasonable optimization target, so that the research and development processes of a high specific energy battery and a high power battery are guided and accelerated, and the technical problem to be solved in the industry is urgent.
