Abstract:

A 18650 NCM LIB was tested at 0.5 C, 1 C, and 2 C discharge rates at 40 ℃ and 25 ℃ in the incubator, and 0.5 C at 0 ℃ and -25 ℃, respectively. The voltage and temperature curves under different conditions were obtained. The reliability of the electrochemical thermal coupling model was verified; the accuracy of the model was the highest at 25 ℃, the voltage error was 0.07 V, and the temperature error was 0.8 ℃; the accuracy was the lowest at -25 ℃, the voltage error was 0.6 V, and the temperature error was 1.5 ℃. The model was used to analyze the electrode heat generation at 25 ℃ and simulate the temperature field during 2 C discharge at 25 ℃. At the end of discharge, the temperature at the positive and negative electrode ears of the battery was the highest, with the specific value of 34.8 ℃. The temperature of the battery surface directly opposite to the air flow was the lowest, with the value of 34 ℃. At the model boundary, 50mm away from the battery center, behind the air flow, the temperature rose by 4 ℃.
