Summary |
This technology uses automatic speech recognition (ASR) and ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) to accurately assess the state of health (SoH) and internal condition (electrolyte and by-product content) of the lithium-ion batteries of electric vehicles. The accuracy of SoH prediction exceeds 93%. The reliability and functionality of this technology surpass international commercial technologies. With the novel AI model and NDT method, this technology will be patented in various countries. |
Scientific Breakthrough |
1. Novel ultrasonic transducers for lithium-ion batteries: The signal remains a high resolution after penetrating the battery. 2. Multiple detection and data synthesis: Presenting the detailed physicochemical properties of aged lithium-ion batteries. 3. Combination of AI speech recognition and ultrasonic non-destructive testing: Enhancing detection accuracy. 4. Integration of generative adversarial networks in the AI model: Reducing the time and number of samples required for AI model training. |
Industrial Applicability |
1. Quality control in lithium-ion battery manufacturing: Identifying defective batteries, such as those with insufficient electrolyte or structural defects. 2. Optimizing the performance of the battery management system (BMS): Real-time monitoring of the SoH and internal condition of the lithium-ion batteries can enhance the safety and power management efficiency of electric vehicles. 3. Recycling of retired lithium-ion batteries: Identifying non-failed retired lithium-ion batteries for reuse. |
