This study proposes a temperature-dependent double-exponential model (TDM) for SOH estimation. Unlike single-exponential or power-law approaches, the dual-exponential structure is able to describe both the stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth phase and the accelerated degradation stage associated with active material loss. To account for thermal effects, an Arrhenius-based temperature compensation term is incorporated into the exponential decay rates. A hierarchical two-stage identification algorithm is then developed, in which the linear parameters are updated by least squares and the nonlinear parameters are estimated by gradient-based iterations. Experimental results show that the proposed TDM improves fitting and prediction accuracy compared with conventional models in the considered validation cases.

The effects of carbon source and carbon content on the properties of LVP are systematically investigated. The results show that LVP-10 (containing 10 wt% MOF-derived carbon) exhibits the best lithium storage performance. The initial discharge capacity of LVP-10 reaches 180.1 mAh g<sup>− 1</sup> at 0.1 C and remains the highest among all samples even at 5 C. The capacity retention after 100 cycles at 0.1 C is also the highest among the studied electrodes.

Current methods such as traditional machine learning (ML) models like XGBoost and deep learning (DL) models such as CNN-BiLSTM often fail to simultaneously capture spatial thermal variations across individual cells and long-term degradation dynamics, leading to poor predictive performance and delayed thermal regulation. To address these limitations, a novel physics-aware spatiotemporal predictive framework is proposed, integrating a Convolutional Autoencoder (CAE) for compact spatial thermal representation with a Hierarchical Thermal Dynamics Transformer (HTDT) for degradation-aware temporal forecasting. The proposed framework incorporates physics-inspired electro-thermal proxy variables, including estimated current and Joule heat generation, to improve degradation-sensitive learning and interpretability. The framework does not explicitly solve electrochemical governing equations or implement PINN-based constraints. The model incorporates physics-inspired electro-thermal features, including estimated charging current and Joule heat generation, to enhance electro-thermal modeling fidelity while maintaining data-driven adaptability. The framework is implemented in Python using TensorFlow and PyTorch and evaluated on a high-resolution dataset of solid-state battery cycles capturing thermal, voltage, and resistance dynamics. Comparative results demonstrate superior predictive performance, achieving an RMSE of 0.125 °C, MAE of 0.092 °C, and R² of 0.985, representing an approximate 30–50% improvement over baseline models. Ablation studies further confirm the contribution of latent spatial embeddings and physics-guided attention mechanisms. The predictive thermal regulation layer enables real-time adjustment of discharge current and operational load to prevent hotspot formation. Unlike existing approaches that treat thermal prediction and degradation modeling independently, the proposed framework uniquely integrates physics-informed features with hierarchical spatiotemporal learning and predictive thermal regulation, enabling accurate and proactive thermal management under high-altitude conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":599,"journal":{"name":"Ionics","volume":"32 9","pages":"9129 - 9158"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
