Data-efficient crack quantification in lithium-ion cathodes using foundation model transfer

- 用自监督视觉模型+轻量解码器,结合迭代标注提升效率
- 单张图像获粒子级裂纹宽度、曲折度和面积占比分布
- 适合电池寿命评估与再利用决策,节省大量人工标注
电池寿命关乎可持续电气化,但锂离子正极颗粒开裂的定量分析受限于标注瓶颈:每张破坏性电子显微镜截面达数百兆像素,逐像素专家标注需数小时。我们提出将冻结的自监督视觉变压器编码器与轻量可训练解码器结合,辅以迭代模型辅助标注,将稀疏标注预算转化为大规模退化测量。应用于三张120兆像素的NMC正极截面(初始、循环老化、日历老化状态),该框架可区分晶内裂纹与早期/晚期晶界裂纹,并获得单颗粒裂纹宽度、曲折度与面积占比分布。循环老化样品中晶界裂纹覆盖率高达4.6%,显著高于初始与日历老化样本的0.5%,且网络更复杂、覆盖更广,符合反复电化学循环导致的退化特征而非仅高温存储所致。单张破坏性图像即可提供寿命优化设计、老化评估与二次利用决策所需群体统计信息。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Battery lifetime is central to sustainable electrification, yet the particle cracking that drives lithium-ion cathode aging is hard to measure: quantitative microscopy of this degradation is bottlenecked by annotation, because each destructive electron-microscopy cross-section spans hundreds of megapixels and pixel-level expert labelling requires hours per image. We show that a frozen self-supervised vision-transformer encoder, combined with a lightweight trainable decoder and iterative model-assisted annotation, turns this sparse labelling budget into population-scale degradation measurements. Applied to three 120-megapixel NMC cathode cross-sections representing initial, cycled-aged and calendar-aged states, the framework distinguishes intragranular cracks from early- and late-stage intergranular cracks and yields per-particle distributions of crack width, tortuosity and area fraction. Late intergranular crack coverage reaches 4.6% in the cycled sample versus 0.5% in the initial and calendar-aged samples, forming more tortuous, higher-coverage networks, consistent with degradation from repeated electrochemical cycling rather than elevated-temperature storage alone. A single destructive image yields the population-level statistics needed for lifetime-extending design, aging assessment and second-life decisions.
