Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for key predictors and machine learning for configuring cell performance. One or more parameters relating to operation of a cell may be measured, via a measurement apparatus, with the cell including a cathode, a separator, and a silicon-dominant anode, and cell performance may be managed, based on the one or more parameters, with the managing including assessing the cell performance using a machine learning model. The cell may be within a battery pack that includes a plurality of cells, each of which including a cathode, a separator, and a silicon-dominant anode. One or more of the plurality of cells from the battery pack in response to a determination, based on the assessing, of a different performance of the one or more of the plurality of cells. The battery pack may be in an electric vehicle.

Claims (24)

1. A method of managing battery performance, the method comprising:

providing a cell comprising a cathode, a separator, and a silicon-dominant anode;

measuring, via a measurement apparatus, one or more parameters relating to operation of the cell, wherein at least one parameter of the one or more parameters is measured during a formation process; and

managing cell performance based on the one or more parameters, wherein the managing comprises assessing the cell performance using a machine learning model.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise initial coulombic efficiency.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprises second cycle coulombic efficiency.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising classifying cells based on the cell performance and binning similarly performing cells.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising providing a battery pack with a plurality of cells.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising assessing the plurality of cells during cycling using the machine learning model.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising replacing one or more of the plurality of cells from the battery pack in response to a determination of, based on the assessing, a different performance of the one or more of the plurality of cells.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the battery pack is in an electric vehicle.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise cell impedance values.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise open-circuit voltage.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise cell thickness.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise impedance after degassing.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising measuring at least one parameter of the one or more parameters before the formation process.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise a charge capacity of the cell within a first ten cycles.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters comprise a discharge capacity of the cell within a first ten cycles.

16. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining the cell performance, wherein the determining of cell performance comprises determining cycle life defined as a number of cycles to reach 60-80% of initial capacity.

17. A method of managing battery performance, the method comprising:

providing a battery pack comprising a plurality of cells, wherein each cell comprises a cathode, a separator, and a silicon-dominant anode;

measuring, via a measurement apparatus, one or more parameters for at least one cell of the plurality of cells, wherein at least one parameter of the one or more parameters is measured during a formation process; and

managing performance of the battery pack based on the one or more parameters, wherein the managing comprises assessing cell performance of one or more cells of the plurality of cells using a machine learning model.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising replacing one or more cells of the plurality of cells when the assessment indicates different performance from remaining one or more cells of the plurality of cells.
