[0048] Secondary battery

[0049] A secondary battery is a battery that can be recharged to activate the active materials after being discharged and continue to be used.

[0050] Generally, a secondary battery includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and an electrolyte. During the battery charging and discharging process, active ions are embedded and extracted back and forth between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The electrolyte plays the role of conducting ions between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. Furthermore, the secondary battery may also include a separator.

[0051] In some examples, the secondary battery is a lithium-ion battery.

[0052] The present application has no particular limitation on the shape of the secondary battery, which may be cylindrical, square or any other shape. Figure 1 The secondary battery 5 is a square structure as an example.

[0053] In some embodiments, the outer packaging of the secondary battery may be a hard shell, such as a hard plastic shell, an aluminum shell, a steel shell, etc. The outer packaging of the secondary battery may also be a soft package, such as a bag-type soft package. The material of the soft package may be plastic, and examples of the plastic include polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate, and polybutylene succinate.

[0054] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 , the outer packaging may include a shell 51 and a cover plate 53. Among them, the shell 51 may include a bottom plate and a side plate connected to the bottom plate, and the bottom plate and the side plate enclose a receiving cavity. The shell 51 has an opening connected to the receiving cavity, and the cover plate 53 can be covered on the opening to close the receiving cavity. The pole piece, the negative pole piece and the isolation membrane can form an electrode assembly 52 through a winding process or a lamination process. The electrode assembly 52 is encapsulated in the receiving cavity. The electrolyte is infiltrated in the electrode assembly 52. ​​The number of electrode assemblies 52 contained in the secondary battery 5 can be one or more, and those skilled in the art can select according to specific actual needs.

[0055] When secondary batteries are charged and discharged at high rates, the temperature rise of the battery increases significantly, which seriously affects the safety and reliability of the product and the service life of the battery. Taking lithium-ion batteries as an example, the technical personnel of this application found that this is mainly because the degree of lithium deposition in the edge area of ​​the negative electrode plate of the lithium-ion battery is more serious than that in the main area of ​​the negative electrode plate, and as the charging rate increases, the degree of lithium deposition in the edge area becomes more serious. The technical personnel of this application further analyzed the reasons and found that this is mainly because during the charging process of the secondary battery, the negative electrode plate expands, causing the electrolyte on the negative electrode plate side to be squeezed and squeezed out. Due to the reduced reabsorption speed of the electrolyte, the electrolyte has an uneven distribution problem. Specifically, the electrolyte at the bottom of the secondary battery is difficult to be reabsorbed to the top of the secondary battery, especially the edge areas on both sides of the top, which are difficult to be infiltrated by the electrolyte. Figure 3 As shown, the electrode assembly 52 is prone to having an electrolyte insufficient area 521 .

[0056] In order to solve the safety performance of secondary batteries under high-rate charge and discharge, the present application provides a negative electrode plate.

[0057] The negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer arranged on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector.

[0058] The negative electrode current collector includes a main region and an edge region located on at least one side of the main region, the negative electrode film layer is arranged on the main region and the edge region of the negative electrode current collector, and the porosity of the negative electrode film layer in the edge region is greater than the porosity in the main region.

[0059] Without wishing to be limited to any theory, the negative electrode plate of the present application sets the porosity of the negative electrode film layer in the edge area to be greater than the porosity of the negative electrode film layer in the main area, so that the edge area has a stronger electrolyte reabsorption rate, and the electrolyte infiltrated in the main area can quickly diffuse to the edge area with lower porosity, thereby improving the wettability of the electrolyte in the edge area, allowing the electrolyte to be reabsorbed to the top edge area, alleviating and improving the degree of lithium precipitation in the edge area, reducing the temperature rise of the battery under high-rate charge and discharge, ensuring the safety, reliability and service life of the secondary battery, and making it have both high-rate charge and discharge performance and safety performance.

[0060] As an example, the negative electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite to each other in its thickness direction, and the negative electrode film layer is disposed on any one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the negative electrode current collector 7 includes a main region 72 and an edge region 74 located at at least one side of the main region 72. In the negative electrode film formed on the negative electrode current collector 7, the porosity in the edge region 74 is greater than the porosity in the main region 72.

[0062] It is understood that the shape of the negative electrode current collector is generally rectangular or square, among which rectangular negative electrode current collectors are more commonly used to form rectangular negative electrode sheets, which are convenient for winding to form electrode assemblies and further form wound batteries.

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the negative electrode current collector 7 has a longitudinal direction extending along the length direction and a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The edge region 74 and the main region 72 are sequentially arranged in the transverse direction of the negative electrode current collector 7 .

[0064] It is worth noting that the longitudinal direction here refers to the length direction of the negative electrode current collector 7, that is, Figure 4 The lateral direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the length direction of the negative electrode current collector 7, that is, Figure 4 Horizontal direction in .

[0065] Specifically, the secondary battery is an M6T structure battery, which refers to a battery structure in which the tabs are led out from both sides. Figure 3 As shown, the tabs are led out from the left and right sides of the wound electrode assembly 52 .

[0066] In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, as the metal foil, a copper foil may be used. The composite current collector may include a polymer material base layer and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material substrate. The composite current collector may be formed by forming a metal material (copper, copper alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).

[0067] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer may further include a conductive agent, which may be selected from at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon nanofibers.

[0068] Furthermore, both the main region and the edge region contain a conductive agent.

[0069] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer may further include a binder, which may be selected from at least one of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polyacrylic acid (PAA), sodium polyacrylate (PAAS), polyacrylamide (PAM), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS).

[0070] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer may optionally include other additives, such as a thickener (eg, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na)).

[0071] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material layer and an optional primer layer. The primer layer may not contain negative electrode active materials. In this case, the porosity of the primer layer and / or the negative electrode active material layer in the edge region is greater than its porosity in the main region. For example, the porosity of the primer layer in the edge region is greater than the porosity of the primer layer in the main region. For example, the porosity of the negative electrode active material layer in the edge region is greater than the porosity of the negative electrode active material layer in the main region.

[0072] Further, the thickness of the undercoat layer is 1 μm to 10 μm. Further, the thickness of the negative electrode active material layer is 75 μm to 140 μm.

[0073] When the negative electrode film layer includes a primer layer and a negative electrode active material layer, the primer layer is located between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material layer. Further, the thickness of the negative electrode film layer in the edge area and the main area is 80 μm to 150 μm; further, the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer in the edge area and the main area is 1.50 to 1.70 g / cm 3Further controlling the thickness and compaction density of the edge area and the main area can, on the one hand, meet the porosity requirements and reduce the temperature rise of the battery, and on the other hand, better take into account the charge and discharge rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0074] In some embodiments, the difference between the porosity of the undercoat layer and / or the negative electrode active material layer in the edge region and the porosity of the main region is 2% to 9%, such as 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, such as 3% to 7%. That is, the difference between the porosity of the undercoat layer in the edge region and the porosity of the main region is 2% to 9%; and / or, the difference between the porosity of the negative electrode active material layer in the edge region and the porosity of the main region is 2% to 9%.

[0075] In some embodiments, the porosity of the undercoat layer and / or the negative electrode active material layer in the edge region is 28% to 32%, such as 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, and the porosity of the undercoat layer and / or the negative electrode active material layer in the main region is 23% to 26%, such as 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%. Further controlling the porosity of the undercoat layer and / or the negative electrode active material layer in the edge region and the main region within the above given range can further improve the rate charge and discharge performance and safety performance of the secondary battery.

[0076] In some embodiments, there are at least two edge regions, and at least two edge regions are located on opposite sides of the main region. Setting edge regions on both sides of the main region can solve the problem of insufficient electrolyte areas on both sides of the top of the secondary electrode, and further improve the rate charge and discharge performance and safety performance of the secondary battery.

[0077] In some embodiments, based on the total area of ​​the negative electrode film layer, the total area of ​​the edge zone accounts for ≤20%, for example, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%; optionally, the total area of ​​the edge zone accounts for 5% to 20%, further 10% to 20%.

[0078] Further, the area ratio of a single edge region is ≤10%, such as 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%; optionally, the area ratio of a single edge region is 5% to 10%, and further 5% to 7%. Further controlling the area ratio of the edge region within the above given range so that the area of ​​the edge region covers the electrolyte-deficient areas on both sides of the top of the secondary electrode as much as possible can further improve the rate charge and discharge performance and safety performance of the secondary battery.

[0079] Furthermore, the edge region and the main region are preferably rectangular in shape, but it is understood that the shape is not limited thereto. The size of a single edge region in the above lateral direction accounts for ≤10% of the size of the negative electrode collector in the above lateral direction, and can be 5% to 10%.

[0080] It can be understood that, in addition to the primer layer and the negative electrode active material layer, in other examples, the negative electrode plate may further include other film layers.

[0081] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material may adopt the negative electrode active material for the battery known in the art. As an example, the negative electrode active material may include at least one of the following materials: artificial graphite, natural graphite, soft carbon, hard carbon, silicon-based materials, tin-based materials, lithium titanate, etc. Among them, the silicon-based material can be selected from at least one of elemental silicon, silicon oxide compounds, silicon-carbon composites, silicon-nitrogen composites, and silicon alloys. The tin-based material can be selected from at least one of elemental tin, tin oxide compounds, and tin alloys. However, the present application is not limited to these materials, and other traditional materials that can be used as negative electrode active materials for batteries can also be used. These negative electrode active materials can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0082] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the negative electrode film layer comprises the following steps:

[0083] S10: forming a negative electrode film layer on the current collector.

[0084] The coatings applied to the edge area and the main area for forming the negative electrode film layer are respectively the first coating and the second coating. The first coating contains a loosening agent, and the second coating contains or does not contain a loosening agent. The mass content of the loosening agent in the first coating is greater than the mass content of the loosening agent in the second coating.

[0085] The above-mentioned preparation method uses a first coating and a second coating to form a negative electrode film layer in the edge area and the main area respectively, and controls the different contents of the loosening agent in the first coating and the second coating to control the porosity of the formed negative electrode film layer in the edge area to be greater than the porosity in the main area.

[0086] It can be understood that the first coating material and the second coating material can form a negative electrode film layer in the corresponding area of ​​the negative electrode current collector by a coating method.

[0087] In some embodiments, coating can be performed using a coating machine. It is understood that there is no particular limitation on the type of coating machine, and a commercially available coating machine can be used.

[0088] Furthermore, the coating may be performed by transfer coating, spin spray coating, dip coating, etc. It is understood that after the coating step, after drying, cold pressing, etc., a negative electrode film layer can be formed on the negative electrode current collector to obtain a negative electrode sheet.

[0089] In some embodiments, the difference between the mass content of the loosening agent in the first coating and the mass content of the loosening agent in the second coating is 5% to 25%, for example 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%.

[0090] Furthermore, the mass content of the leavening agent in the first coating is 10% to 25%.

[0091] Furthermore, the mass content of the loosening agent in the second coating is 0-5%, such as 0, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% or 5%. Preferably, the mass content of the loosening agent in the second coating is 0.

[0092] In some embodiments, the loosening agents in the first coating and the second coating each independently include at least one of sodium bicarbonate, calcium bicarbonate, oxalic acid, sodium oxalate, calcium oxalate and ammonium salt. These loosening agents can be decomposed into gas during the steps of coating and baking the first coating and the second coating to form the negative electrode film layer, thereby making the negative electrode film layer have a loose and porous structure. The loosening agent content in the first coating in the edge area is higher, and the porosity of the film layer formed by it is larger.

[0093] Furthermore, the type of the loosening agent in the first coating is the same as or different from that of the loosening agent in the second coating.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first coating and the second coating each independently further optionally contain at least one of a conductive agent and a binder.

[0095] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material layer and an optional undercoat layer. When the negative electrode film layer includes an undercoat layer and a negative electrode active material layer, the undercoat layer is located between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material layer.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the porosity of the undercoat layer and the negative electrode active material layer in the edge region is greater than that in the main region, the undercoat layer and the negative electrode active material layer are formed by coating in two layers, and different coating materials are used for each layer for zone coating.

[0097] Positive electrode

[0098] The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector.

[0099] As an example, the positive electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite to each other in its thickness direction, and the positive electrode film layer is disposed on any one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.

[0100] In some embodiments, the positive electrode current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, aluminum foil may be used as the metal foil. The composite current collector may include a polymer material base and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material base. The composite current collector may be formed by forming a metal material (aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).

[0101] The above-mentioned positive electrode film layer contains positive electrode active materials. In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material may adopt positive electrode active materials for batteries that are well known in the art. As an example, the positive electrode active material may include at least one of the following materials: lithium phosphates containing olivine structure, lithium transition metal oxides and their respective modified compounds.

[0169] Some parameters of each embodiment and comparative example are shown in Table 1 below.

[0170] The coating area formed by coating materials A1 to A8 in Table 1 is Area A, and the coating area formed by coating materials B1 to B8 is Area B. The compaction density of Area A and Area B in Table 1 refers to the compaction density of the entire negative electrode film layer.

[0171] The secondary batteries prepared in the above comparative examples and embodiments were tested for fast charge temperature rise performance (i.e., 2.2C charge, 1C discharge temperature test), room temperature cycle performance, and lithium precipitation. The results are shown in Table 1. The specific test steps are as follows:

[0172] (1) Fast charging temperature rise performance:

[0173] The temperature rise was tested synchronously during the 2.2C and 1C discharge and charging processes. The specific test steps are as follows.

[0174] The temperature of the bare cell inside the cell prepared in each embodiment or comparative example is tested by a temperature sensing line, as follows Figure 3 The three points arranged as shown are: the first temperature measuring point 501 (denoted as 1#, the upper edge of the battery cell), the second temperature measuring point 502 (denoted as 2#, the middle of the battery cell), and the third temperature measuring point 503 (denoted as 3#, the lower edge of the battery cell). The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0175] 1) Use an electric drill to drill holes in the non-engraved area of ​​the top cover, and the inner diameter of the holes should be controlled at about 4 to 6 mm.

[0176] 2) Grind away the burrs at the punching points; clean the top cover to remove particulate impurities.

[0177] 3) When the temperature sensing wire is 5cm beyond the top cover, use a blade to peel off the outer insulation layer of the temperature sensing wire to expose the inner wire.

[0178] 4) Perform laser soft connection welding on the perforated top cover and the battery cell.

[0179] 5) Insert the prepared temperature-sensing wire into the surface of the battery cell through the small hole, and lay a wire to mark a number on the temperature-sensing wire.

[0180] 6) The punching position should be appropriate and should not be blocked by the adapter and the tab. The burrs at the punching position should be cleaned and the particulate impurities should be removed to avoid short circuit in the battery cell.

[0181] 7) Wrap the temperature sensing wire probe with yellow tape, and then stick it on the JR area where it needs to be arranged.

[0182] 8) After the temperature sensing wire is attached, use blue glue to tie and fix the battery cells.

[0183] 9) Apply glue about 1 cm wide on the temperature sensing line on the top cover of the battery cell. After applying the glue, let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes until it solidifies.

[0184] (II) Room temperature cycle performance (capacity retention rate):

[0185] In an environment of 25°C, the first charge and discharge are carried out, and constant current and constant voltage charging is carried out at a charging current equivalent to 2.2C until the upper limit voltage is 4.4V. Then, constant current discharge is carried out at a discharge current of 1C until the final voltage is 2.5V, and the first discharge capacity value C1 is recorded. Subsequently, the 2nd to 2000th OK charge and discharge cycles are carried out under the same test conditions as the first charge and discharge, the discharge capacity value during the cycle is recorded, and the cycle capacity retention rate is calculated. The capacity retention rate of the 2000th cycle = (discharge capacity of the 2000th cycle / discharge capacity of the first cycle) × 100%.

[0186] (III) Lithium precipitation test:

[0187] The secondary battery was subjected to a cyclic charge and discharge procedure, with the charge and discharge rates being 2.2C and 1C, and the number of cycles being 2000. After the cyclic charge and discharge procedure was completed, the secondary battery was disassembled to evaluate the degree of lithium deposition of the negative electrode sheet.

[0188] The evaluation method of lithium precipitation degree is as follows:

[0189] No lithium deposition: There is no lithium deposition area in a single electrode assembly;

[0190] Primary lithium deposition: Maximum area of ​​a single lithium deposition area ≤ 5*5mm 2 , the number of lithium deposition areas of a single electrode assembly is ≤1;

[0191] Secondary lithium deposition: 5*5mm 2 <The maximum area of ​​a single lithium deposition area ≤ 10*10mm 2 , the number of lithium deposition areas of a single electrode assembly is ≤1;

[0192] Level 3 lithium plating: does not meet the judgment conditions of the first two levels.

[0193] (IV) Porosity and compaction density test

[0194] Porosity is defined by the following equation: Porosity = (1-(mass of porous material [g] / (volume of porous material [cm 3 ]× material density)))×100[%]. The porosity is determined by the gas adsorption method according to GB / T 21650.2-2008.

[0195] Compacted density refers to the ratio of the electrode coating surface density to the coating thickness, and is one of the reference indicators of the material energy density. Test method: The electrode coating surface density can be determined according to the energy density design requirements. After the electrode is dried and cold pressed, use a vernier caliper to measure the total thickness of the electrode, and the coating thickness can be calculated by deducting the thickness of the current collector. Based on the two parameters of coating surface density and coating thickness, the compacted density of the electrode can be calculated.

[0196] Table 1

[0197]

[0198] As can be seen from Table 1 above, each embodiment adds a loosening agent to the edge area of ​​the bottom coating, and adds a lower content of loosening agent or no loosening agent in the middle. Compared with the secondary battery prepared by uniformly coating the bottom coating without adding a loosening agent in Comparative Example 1, it can significantly reduce the temperature rise of the battery during rapid charging, and can also reduce the lithium precipitation and thus reduce the degree of lithium precipitation, so the capacity retention rate of the battery can be improved to a certain extent. The capacity retention rate and lithium precipitation degree of 2000 cycles at a 2.2C charge rate and a 1C discharge rate indicate that the secondary battery prepared in the embodiment of the present application can take into account both high rate charge and discharge performance and safety performance.

[0199] From the comparison between Examples 1 to 2 and Example 7, it can be seen that, when other conditions remain basically unchanged, compared with Examples 1 to 2 in which the loosening agent is added only to the edge area on one side, Example 7 has a loosening agent added to the upper left edge area of ​​the base coating, and its lithium plating degree is lower and the temperature rise amplitude of fast charging is smaller, and at the same time, a relatively higher battery capacity retention rate can be achieved.

[0200] From the comparison between Example 3 and Example 7, it can be seen that when other conditions remain basically unchanged, compared with the calcium bicarbonate used in Example 3, the loosening agent sodium bicarbonate used in Example 7 has a lower degree of lithium precipitation in the battery and a smaller temperature rise during fast charging, while achieving a relatively higher battery capacity retention rate.

[0201] From the comparison between Example 4 and Example 7, it can be seen that when other conditions remain basically unchanged, compared with Example 4, in which a loosening agent is also added to the middle bottom coating of the negative electrode, Example 7 does not add a loosening agent to the middle bottom coating of the negative electrode. The degree of lithium plating of the battery is lower and the temperature rise during fast charging is smaller, and a relatively higher battery capacity retention rate can be achieved.

[0202] The other conditions of Examples 5 to 8 remain basically unchanged, and only the content of sodium bicarbonate is changed. It can be seen from Examples 5 to 8 that the mass content of sodium bicarbonate is preferably 10% to 20%.

[0203] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0204] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
