Analysis of electrode crack propagation in Lithium battery during charge process
A lithium-ion diffusion-stress coupling model in the form of a tensor in three-dimensional rectangular coordinates was established using the constitutive equation constructed by the finite deformation theory and the diffusion-induced stress hypothesis. Combined with the K criterion in fracture theory, the expansion of crack is determined by using the finite element method. The model is applied to the column electrodes and spherical electrodes, where three-dimensional cracks are added to study the relationship between stress strength factors and crack size. Combined with the fracture toughness of the material, the critical size of crack propagation is obtained. Cracks in the electrode that are longer than the critical size will expand, cracks in the column electrode developing in axial direction will continue to expand until they run through, cracks along radial development will gradually stabilize and will not run through, and cracks in the spherical electrode will gradually stabilize, depending on the size of the electrode. The 3D model is not limited to axis symmetry, but is suitable for particle electrodes containing any form of defect, which is of general significance, and the results can make optimization recommendations for the screening of particle electrode internal defects.
