[0001] This application claims the priority of the international patent application PCT / CN2025 / 082755 titled "Battery Cell, Battery Device and Electrical Equipment" filed on March 14, 2025, and the entire content of this application is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] Batteries are not only applied to energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power plants, but also widely used in electric transportation such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, as well as in multiple fields such as military equipment and aerospace. During the assembly process of battery cells, the energy density of battery cells can be increased by increasing the volume occupied by the electrode assembly and reducing the volume occupied by the electrolyte. However, after the electrolyte content is reduced, it is difficult to remove the crystal water in the lithium-containing phosphate of the positive active material. During the battery cycling process, the electrolyte salt is prone to hydrolysis to generate HF, which corrodes the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the surface of the negative electrode, resulting in the consumption of the electrolyte and reducing the cycling performance of the battery cell.

The phrase appears in various positions in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0080] If there is no special description, all technical features and optional technical features of the present application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

For example, the method includes steps (a) and (b), which means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) carried out in sequence, or may include steps (b) and (a) carried out in sequence. For example, it is mentioned that the method may further include step (c), which means that step (c) can be added to the method in any order. For example, the method may include steps (a), (b) and (c), or may include steps (a), (c) and (b), or may include steps (c), (a) and (b), etc.
[0082] At present, from the perspective of the development of the market situation, the application of batteries is becoming more and more extensive. Batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also widely used in electric transportation such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric vehicles, as well as in many fields such as military equipment and aerospace. With the continuous expansion of the application fields of batteries, the market demand is also continuously increasing. The battery monomers in the related technologies cannot meet the requirements of long cycle life and high energy density.
[0083] This application proposes a battery monomer. By increasing the compaction density of the positive and negative electrode sheets, the occupied space of the electrode assembly is increased, and by reducing the electrolyte injection volume, the weight of the battery monomer is reduced, thereby increasing the battery energy density. However, because the particles inside the electrode sheets are more closely packed after increasing the compaction density of the positive and negative electrodes, it is difficult to completely bake out the moisture in the electrode sheets through the process during battery production to control it within a reasonable range. This part of the moisture will slowly be released from the electrode sheets during battery cycling or storage, causing the hydrolysis of lithium hexafluorophosphate in the electrolyte to produce HF. The generation of HF will erode the SEI film, causing the SEI film to continuously repair and regenerate, accelerating the consumption rate of the electrolyte and additives. Since the electrolyte injection volume in this application is controlled within a relatively low range, in order to ensure the battery life, it is necessary to improve the erosion of HF on the SEI during cycling and storage and reduce the consumption rate of the electrolyte and additives. Therefore, by compounding lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium fluorosulfonylimide salt in the electrolyte and controlling the relative content of the two within a suitable range, the generation of HF during cycling and storage can be reduced, the consumption rate of the electrolyte and additives can be reduced, and the battery monomer life can be improved. And the ionization energy of lithium fluorosulfonylimide salt is higher than that of lithium hexafluorophosphate, which can accelerate the transmission rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte, better enable lithium ions to diffuse in the high-compaction positive and negative electrode sheets, and improve the fast charging and cycling performance of the monomer battery.
[0084] The battery monomer proposed in this application can be used in electrical equipment that uses the battery monomer as a power source or various energy storage systems that use the battery monomer as an energy storage element. The electrical equipment can include but is not limited to mobile phones, tablets, laptop computers, electric toys, power tools, battery cars, electric vehicles, ships, spacecraft, etc. Among them, the electric toys can include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric vehicle toys, electric ship toys, and electric aircraft toys, etc., and the spacecraft can include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spaceships, etc.
[0085] In the first aspect of the present application, a battery cell is provided. The battery cell includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode tab. The positive electrode tab includes a positive current collector and a positive active material layer provided on at least one side of the positive current collector. The positive active material layer includes a positive active material, and the positive active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate. The tap density of the positive electrode tab is 2.46 g / cm 3 - 2.8 g / cm 3 ; The negative electrode tab includes a negative current collector and a negative active material layer provided on at least one side of the negative current collector. The tap density of the negative electrode tab is 1.3 g / cm 3 - 1.5 g / cm 3 ; The electrolyte includes lithium fluorosulfonimide and lithium hexafluorophosphate. Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the ratio of the mass fraction of lithium fluorosulfonimide to the mass fraction of lithium hexafluorophosphate is 0.4 - 0.8; The mass of the electrolyte corresponding to each Ah of the battery cell is 2.2 g - 3 g.
[0086] Thus, while improving the energy density of the battery cell, by controlling the contents of lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium fluorosulfonimide, the generation of HF is reduced, the consumption rate of the electrolyte and additives is decreased, and the lifespan, cycle performance, and fast charging performance of the battery cell are improved.
[0087] In the present application, the test method for the mass of the electrolyte at a rated capacity of 1 Ah of the battery cell is as follows: ① Take a battery cell and weigh its mass M 0 ; ② Disassemble the battery cell, pour out the free electrolyte, and take out solid components such as electrode tabs, separator membranes, mechanical parts, and adhesive tapes; ③ Immerse and clean the solid components such as electrode tabs, separator membranes, mechanical parts, and adhesive tapes in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) for 24 h, and wash repeatedly more than 3 times; ④ After cleaning, place the solid components such as electrode tabs, separator membranes, mechanical parts, and adhesive tapes in an oven until completely dried; ⑤ Weigh the total mass of the dried solid components such as electrode tabs, separator membranes, mechanical parts, and adhesive tapes, and record the mass as M 1 ; ⑥ The mass of the electrolyte per unit battery rated capacity of 1 Ah of the battery cell = (M 0 - M 1 ) / a. a = the rated capacity of the battery cell, in units of Ah. As an example, the mass of the electrolyte corresponding to each Ah of the battery cell can be 2.2 g, 2.3 g, 2.4 g, 2.5 g, 2.6 g, 2.7 g, 2.8 g, 3 g, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, the space occupied by the electrolyte in the battery cell is reduced, the content of the lithium-containing phosphate is increased, and the energy density of the battery cell is improved.
[0088] The present application provides a method for testing the tap density of a positive electrode tab: Place the battery cell at 25 °C, let it stand for 2 h, charge it at a constant current of 1 / 3C to 3.65 V, charge it at a constant voltage of 3.65 V to 0.05C, let it stand for 2 h, and then discharge it at a rate of 0.33C to 2.0 V. Disassemble the positive electrode tab from the battery cell. For example, take a single-sided coated positive electrode tab (if it is a double-sided coated tab, the positive electrode active material layer on one side can be wiped off first), and punch it into small round pieces with an area of S 1 and weigh it, record it as M 1 , and measure its thickness H 1 . Then wipe off the positive electrode active material layer of the above-mentioned weighed positive electrode tab, weigh the positive electrode current collector, record it as M 0 , and measure its thickness H 0 . The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer = (M 1 - M 0 ) / S 1 , the thickness of the positive electrode active material layer = H 1 - H 0 , and the tap density of the positive electrode active material layer = the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer / the thickness of the positive electrode active material layer.
[0089] As an example, the tap density of the positive electrode tab can be 2.46 g / cm 3 , 2.5 g / cm 3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.6 g / cm 3 , 2.65 g / cm 3 , 2.7 g / cm 3 , 2.8 g / cm 3 etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, the occupied space of the electrode assembly is increased, and the energy density of the battery cell is increased.
[0090] According to some embodiments of the present application, the tap density of the positive electrode tab can be 2.65 g / cm 3 - 2.8 g / cm 3 .
[0091] The present application provides a method for testing the tap density of a negative electrode tab: Charge it at a constant current of 1 / 3C to 3.65 V, charge it at a constant voltage of 3.65 V to 0.05C, place the battery cell at 25 °C, let it stand for 2 h, and then discharge it at a rate of 0.33C to 2.0 V. Disassemble the negative electrode tab from the battery cell. For example, take a single-sided coated negative electrode tab (if it is a double-sided coated tab, the negative electrode active material layer on one side can be wiped off first), and punch it into small round pieces with an area of S 2 and weigh it, record it as M 3, measure its thickness H 3 . Then wipe off the negative active material layer of the above-mentioned weighed negative electrode sheet, weigh the weight of the negative current collector, and record it as M 2 , measure its thickness H 2 . The single-sided coating weight of the negative active material layer = (M 3 - M 2 ) / S 2 , the thickness of the negative active material layer = H 3 - H 2 , the tap density of the negative active material layer = the single-sided coating weight of the negative active material layer / the thickness of the negative active material layer.
[0092] As an example, the tap density of the negative electrode sheet can be 1.25 g / cm 3 , 1.3 g / cm 3 , 1.35 g / cm 3 , 1.4 g / cm 3 , 1.45 g / cm 3 , 1.5 g / cm 3 etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, on the one hand, the occupied space of the electrode assembly is increased, and the energy density of the battery cell is increased; on the other hand, after the tap density of the negative electrode sheet is increased, the porosity of the negative electrode sheet is reduced, and the content of the electrolyte required to be absorbed intrinsically inside the electrode sheet is reduced. When the mass of the electrolyte corresponding to each Ah of the battery cell is small, the requirements of cycling can also be met.
[0093] In this application, the test of the content of lithium fluorosulfonylimide salt and lithium hexafluorophosphate can refer to the standard JY / T 020-2002 "General Rules for Ion Chromatography Analysis Method". For example, a newly prepared electrolyte can be taken as a sample, a free electrolyte of a fresh battery can be taken as a sample, or a battery cell that has been fully discharged (discharged to the discharge cut-off voltage so that the charged state of the battery cell is about 0% SOC) can be disassembled in reverse, and the free electrolyte obtained from the battery cell is taken as a sample, and the ion chromatography analysis method is used for detection. The inorganic ion chromatogram is tested, the corresponding inorganic substances are compared according to the position of the chromatographic peak, and the percentage of the content of the corresponding inorganic ions is calculated according to the peak area, and then the ratio of the mass fraction of lithium fluorosulfonylimide to the mass fraction of lithium hexafluorophosphate is calculated.
[0094] As an example, the ratio of the mass percentage of lithium fluorosulfonimide to the mass percentage of lithium hexafluorophosphate can be 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.8, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values. By making the mass percentage of lithium fluorosulfonimide and the mass percentage of lithium hexafluorophosphate within the above range, on the one hand, the generation of HF is reduced, the corrosion of the SEI film is decreased, the consumption of the electrolyte is reduced, and the cycle performance of the battery cell is improved; on the other hand, the viscosity of the electrolyte is decreased, the transmission rate of lithium ions is increased, and the fast charging performance of the battery cell is improved.
[0095] According to some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of lithium fluorosulfonimide can be 4% - 8%. For example, it can be 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 8%, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thereby, the generation of HF is reduced, the corrosion of the SEI film is decreased, during the cycle of the battery cell, the consumption of the electrolyte is reduced, and the cycle performance of the battery cell is improved.
[0096] According to some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of lithium hexafluorophosphate can be 8% - 12%. For example, it can be 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thereby, the viscosity of the electrolyte is decreased, the transmission rate of lithium ions is increased, and the fast charging performance of the battery cell is improved.
[0097] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium fluorosulfonimide includes one or more of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and lithium perfluorobutanesulfonimide. Thereby, the generation of HF is reduced, and the corrosion of the SEI film is decreased.
[0098] According to some embodiments of the present application, the electrolyte further includes a solvent, and the solvent includes one or two of carbonate solvents and carboxylate solvents. Thereby, the conductivity of the electrolyte is increased, and the fast charging performance of the battery cell is improved.
[0099] In the present application, after disassembling the battery cell to obtain the electrolyte, reference can be made to GB / T 9722 - 2023 "General Rules for Chemical Reagents - Gas Chromatography" to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the solvent of the electrolyte by gas chromatography.
[0100] According to some embodiments of the present application, the carbonate solvents can include one or more of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate. Thereby, the dielectric constant of the electrolyte is increased.
[0101] According to some embodiments of the present application, the carboxylate solvent includes the compound shown in Formula I:
[0102] Formula I, wherein R 5 is any one of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and a halogenated alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R 6 is any one of an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms and a halogenated alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms. Thus, the carboxylic acid ester solvents of the above types have a relatively small molecular weight, which can improve the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and the rate performance of the battery cell.
[0103] According to some embodiments of the present application, the carboxylic acid ester solvents include one or more of methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, methyl butyrate, and ethyl butyrate. Thus, the carboxylic acid ester solvents of the above types have a relatively small molecular weight, which can improve the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and the rate performance of the battery cell.
[0104] According to some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the carbonate solvent can be 20% - 70%, for example, it can be 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte is improved.
[0105] According to some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the carboxylic acid ester solvent is 10% - 60%, for example, it can be 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. By making the content of the carboxylic acid ester solvent within the above range, on the one hand, the viscosity of the electrolyte can be reduced, the internal resistance of the battery cell can be reduced, the migration rate of lithium ions can be increased, and the fast charging performance of the battery cell can be improved; on the other hand, the risk of gas generation of the electrolyte under high temperature conditions can be reduced, and the high temperature cycle life of the battery cell can be improved, thereby obtaining a battery cell with both excellent fast charging performance and high temperature cycle life.
[0106] According to some embodiments of the present application, the electrolyte further includes additives, and the additives include one or more of carbonate additives, sulfur-containing additives, and lithium salt additives. Thus, the above types of additives can preferentially decompose on the surfaces of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to form a stable and low-impedance interfacial film, reduce the contact between the electrolyte and the surfaces of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, reduce the risk of electrolyte decomposition, and improve the cycle performance and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0107] According to some embodiments of the present application, the carbonate additive includes one or more of vinylene carbonate (VC) and ethylene carbonate derivatives. Thus, the carbonate additives of the above types can form a stable interfacial film on the electrode surface, reduce the side reactions between the electrolyte and the electrode surface, and improve the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0108] According to some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass ratio of the carbonate additive is 3% - 8%. For example, it can be 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, while improving the cycle life of the battery cell, the viscosity of the electrolyte is reduced, and the internal resistance of the battery cell is reduced.
[0109] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the vinylene carbonate is 2% - 5%. For example, it can be 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, the reaction activity of vinylene carbonate is relatively high, and a uniform and dense SEI film can be formed on the negative electrode surface during the first charge and discharge process of the battery, improving the stability of the SEI film. Moreover, the SEI film formed by the participation of VC has good ionic conductivity, which can enable lithium ions to be quickly transported between the electrode and the electrolyte, improving the charge and discharge efficiency of the battery.
[0110] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the ethylene carbonate derivative is 0% - 4%. For example, it can be 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. According to some specific embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the ethylene carbonate derivative is 1.5% - 3.5%. Thus, the interfacial resistance of the SEI film is reduced, the charge and discharge efficiency of the battery is improved, and when used in combination with VC, the stability and integrity of the SEI film can also be enhanced.
[0111] According to some embodiments of the present application, the ethylene carbonate derivative includes the compound shown in Formula II,
[0112] Formula II, wherein, R 1 、R 2 、R 3 、R 4 each independently includes any one of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group with 1 - 5 carbon atoms, and a halogenated alkyl group with 1 - 5 carbon atoms, and R 1 、R 2 、R 3 、R 4 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms. Thus, the cycle life of the battery cell is improved.
[0113] According to some embodiments of the present application, the ethylene carbonate derivative includes at least one of the compounds represented by Formula II-1, Formula II-2, and Formula II-3:
[0114] Formula II-1, Formula II-2, and Formula II-3.
[0115] According to some embodiments of the present application, the sulfur-containing additive includes one or more of ethylene sulfate, bis(ethylene sulfate), 1,3-propane sultone, butene sulfite, ethylene sulfite, and methylene methanedisulfonate. Thus, additives of the above types can form a SEI film with high ionic conductivity on the surface of the negative electrode, reduce the resistance of lithium ion transmission at the electrode-electrolyte interface, reduce the impedance of the battery cell, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0116] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium salt additive includes one or more of lithium difluorophosphate, lithium difluorooxalate borate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, and lithium bis(oxalate) borate. Thus, lithium salt additives of the above types can form a stable SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode, reduce the side reactions between the electrolyte and the electrode surface, reduce the decomposition of the electrolyte, and reduce the gas generation of the battery cell under high temperature conditions.
[0117] According to some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the sulfur-containing additive can be 0% - 2%. For example, it can be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, while reducing the impedance of the battery cell, the risk of oxidation of the battery cell at high potential to generate sulfur-containing free radicals is reduced, thereby reducing the decomposition of the solvent caused by sulfur-containing free radicals and reducing the gas generation of the battery cell. According to some embodiments of the present application, the mass percentage of the sulfur-containing additive can be 0.5% - 2%.
[0118] According to some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the lithium salt additive can be 0% - 1%. For example, it can be 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, while reducing the gas generation of the battery cell, the content of inorganic components in the SEI film is reduced, and the film-forming impedance is reduced. According to some embodiments of the present application, the mass percentage of the lithium salt additive can be 0.2% - 1%.
[0119] In the present application, after disassembling the battery cell to obtain the electrolyte, reference can be made to GB / T 9722-2023 General Rules for Chemical Reagents - Gas Chromatography to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the additives in the electrolyte by gas chromatography.
[0120] It should be noted that during the charge and discharge of battery cells, when the addition amounts of ethylene carbonate derivatives, sulfur-containing additives, and lithium salt additives are relatively small, and the additives in the electrolyte will be consumed to some extent during formation and charge-discharge cycles, generating relevant components in the SEI film and / or CEI film. When the content of ethylene carbonate derivatives, sulfur-containing additives, and lithium salt additives is tested by gas chromatography after disassembling the battery cell to obtain the electrolyte, the content may be 0.
[0121] Specifically, taking the case where the mass content of ethylene carbonate derivatives is 0 as an example, it may be that no ethylene carbonate derivatives are added to the freshly prepared electrolyte, or the electrolyte obtained after disassembling the battery cell does not contain ethylene carbonate derivatives. This situation may be that no ethylene carbonate derivatives are added to the freshly prepared electrolyte, or a small amount of ethylene carbonate derivatives are added, but they participate in the film-forming reaction of the SEI film during the formation of the battery cell, resulting in a mass content of 0 for ethylene carbonate derivatives during the detection process. Optionally, the freshly prepared electrolyte includes ethylene carbonate derivatives.
[0122] Furthermore, for adding certain substances, such as additives, to the electrolyte, due to the characteristic that the additives play a role by participating in the film formation on the surface of the active material, the content of additives in the electrolyte of the battery cell is related to formation, different battery life cycles, or different battery storage states. Therefore, there may be a difference in the content of additives between the freshly prepared electrolyte and the electrolyte obtained by reverse disassembling the battery cell. However, those skilled in the art can know the approximate range of the content of relevant substances in the corresponding freshly prepared electrolyte based on the performance expression level (such as the number of cycles) and residual content of the battery cell. Similarly, those skilled in the art can also know the approximate range of the content of the non-freshly prepared (i.e., reverse) based on the content of the freshly prepared additives, according to the performance requirements of the battery cell, storage environment, etc.
[0123] Therefore, the additive content mentioned in the technical solution of this application can be the content of additives actively added to the freshly prepared electrolyte, or the content of residual additives detected by reverse according to the actual battery state.
[0124] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium-containing phosphate includes: a matrix; a first coating material, the first coating material is located on at least part of the surface of the matrix, and the first coating material contains carbon elements. Thereby, a good conductive network is formed between the lithium-containing phosphate particles, improving the electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate.
[0125] According to some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the lithium-containing phosphate, the mass percentage of the carbon element can be 0.8% - 2.3%. For example, it can be 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.3%, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, while improving the electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate, the influence on lithium ion transport is reduced, the loading of the lithium-containing phosphate on the positive electrode sheet is increased, and the energy density of the battery cell is improved.
[0126] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first coating material includes the compound shown in Formula III: Li 3-d1 Fe 2-d1 M1 d1 (PO m1 ) n1 Formula III, where 0 ≤ d1 ≤ 1, 3 ≤ m1 ≤ 5, 2 ≤ n1 ≤ 4, and M1 includes one or more of Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn.
[0127] The compound shown in Formula III has excellent ionic conductivity, and together with the carbon element having excellent conductivity in the first coating material, it improves the conductivity and ionic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate, which is beneficial to improving the fast charging performance of the battery.
[0128] According to some embodiments of the present application, the matrix includes the compound shown in Formula IV: Li x1 A y1 Me a1 M2 b1 P 1-c1 X c1 Y z1 Formula IV, where 0.5 ≤ x1 ≤ 1.3, 0 ≤ y1 ≤ 1.3, 0.9 ≤ x1 + y1 ≤ 1.3; 0.9 ≤ a1 ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ b1 ≤ 0.5, 0.9 ≤ a1 + b1 ≤ 1.5; 0 ≤ c1 ≤ 0.5; 3 ≤ z1 ≤ 5; where A includes one or more of Na, K, and Mg; Me includes one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni; M2 includes one or more of B, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, Ba, Ta, W, Yb, and La; X includes one or more of Cl, C, and N; Y includes one or more of O and F. Thus, the cycle performance and safety of the battery cell are improved.
[0129] As an example, x1 can be 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.3, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above numerical values.
[0130] It should be noted that due to processes such as formation and cycling of the battery cell, lithium ions will be consumed, so there will be a situation where the lithium element content x1 in the positive electrode active material measured is less than 1. At the same time, if a lithium supplement agent is used in the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, after the battery undergoes processes such as formation and cycling, there will be a situation where the lithium element content x 1 is greater than 1.
[0131] As an example, y1 can be 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.3, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above numerical values.
[0132] As an example, a1 can be 0.9, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above numerical values.
[0133] As an example, b1 can be 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above numerical values.
[0134] As an example, c1 can be 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above numerical values.
[0135] As an example, z1 can be 3, 4, 5, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above numerical values.
[0136] According to some embodiments of the present application, the matrix may include one or more of lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, lithium nickel phosphate, and lithium cobalt phosphate. Thereby, the cycle performance and safety of the battery cell are improved.
[0137] According to some embodiments of the present application, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000N is 2.43 g / cm 3 -2.85 g / cm 3 . For example, it can be 2.43 g / cm 3 , 2.5 g / cm 3 , 2.6 g / cm 3 , 2.7 g / cm 3 , 2.8 g / cm 3 etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above numerical values. Thereby, the energy density of the battery cell is improved.
[0138] In this application, the powder compaction density of the material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by methods and equipment well-known in the art. For example, it can be detected according to the test standard GB / T 24533-2019. Specifically, a certain amount of cathode active material is taken as a sample and added to a mold with a bottom area of 1.327 cm 2 in a UTM7305 type electronic pressure testing machine, pressurized to 3000 kg (equivalent to 30000 N), kept under pressure for 30 s, then the pressure is released, kept for 10 s, and then the powder compaction density of the cathode active material under the action of 30000 N is recorded and calculated.
[0139] According to some embodiments of the present application, the powder compaction density of the cathode active material under 30000 N is 2.48 g / cm 3 -2.8 g / cm 3 . Thus, the energy density and rate performance of the battery cell are improved.
[0140] According to some embodiments of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the cathode active material layer can be 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 -350 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . For example, it can be 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 250 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 300 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 350 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thus, the energy density of the battery cell is improved.
[0141] The present application provides a method for testing the coating weight of the cathode active material layer: disassemble the cathode electrode sheet from the battery cell. For example, take the single-sided coated cathode electrode sheet (if it is a double-sided coated electrode sheet, the cathode active material layer on one side can be wiped off first), punch it into small round pieces with an area of S 1 , weigh it, and record it as M 1 . Then wipe off the cathode active material layer of the above-mentioned weighed cathode electrode sheet, weigh the weight of the cathode current collector, and record it as M 0 . The single-sided coating weight of the cathode active material layer = (M 1 - M 0 ) / S 1 .
[0142] According to some embodiments of the present application, the negative active material layer includes a negative active material, and the negative active material includes one or two of a carbon-based material and a silicon-based material. Thus, the energy density and cycle performance of the battery cell are improved.
[0143] According to some embodiments of the present application, the carbon-based material includes graphite. Thereby, the cycling performance of the battery cell is improved.
[0144] According to some embodiments of the present application, the graphite is secondary particles formed by aggregation of primary particles, and at least part of the surface of the secondary particles has a second coating material, and the second coating material includes amorphous carbon. Secondary particles refer to particles formed by aggregation of two or more primary particles.
[0145] In this article, amorphous carbon refers to a transitional carbon material with a very low degree of graphitization crystallization, similar to an amorphous form (or a structure without a fixed shape and periodic structural rules). In the present application, amorphous carbon refers to the product after carbonization treatment of an organic carbon source, which has more end faces and defects and more lithium ion sites.
[0146] The secondary particles can improve the migration rate of lithium ions, enhance the transport performance of lithium ions, facilitate the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, and contribute to improving the ionic conductivity of the material. The second coating material includes amorphous carbon, which can improve the conductivity of the composite graphite particles. The secondary particles in the core and the coating layer of amorphous carbon jointly improve the electron conduction performance and ion conduction performance of the material, contributing to improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0147] According to some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the graphite, the mass ratio of the second coating material can be 2% - 5%. For example, it can be 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thereby, while improving the cycling performance of the battery cell, the energy density of the battery cell is also improved.
[0148] According to some embodiments of the present application, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite can be 8.5 μm - 13.8 μm. For example, it can be 8.5 μm, 9.5 μm, 10.5 μm, 11.5 μm, 12.5 μm, 13.5 μm, 13.8 μm, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thereby, the volume average particle size of the graphite is relatively small, which can shorten the solid-phase migration path of lithium ions and improve the fast charging ability of the battery cell. At the same time, by making the volume average particle size within the above range, the side reaction between the graphite negative electrode and the electrolyte can also be reduced.
[0149] In this application, Dv50 refers to the particle size corresponding to a cumulative volume distribution percentage of 50%. For example, referring to the standard GB / T 19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009, it is measured using a laser particle size analyzer (Malvern MasterSize 2000). The specific test process is as follows: Discharge the battery cell to 0% SOC, then disassemble it to take the negative electrode sheet, scrape a certain amount of powder on the electrode sheet with a blade, then use deionized water to wash it repeatedly by shaking 5 - 10 times. After drying, sinter it in a tube furnace at 400°C for 2h. After sintering, take an appropriate amount of the sample to be measured (the sample concentration should ensure a light transmittance of 8% - 12%), add deionized water, and disperse it ultrasonically at the same time to ensure that the sample is completely dispersed. Then, measure the sample with reference to the standard GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009.
[0150] According to some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode active material includes a silicon-based material. Based on the total mass of the negative electrode active material layer, the mass percentage of silicon element can be 0.3% - 5%. For example, it can be 0.3%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, etc., or it can be a range composed of any of the above values. Thereby, the energy density of the battery cell is improved.
[0151] The mass content of silicon element in the negative electrode active material layer has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, place the negative electrode sheet in a solvent such as water and soak it to separate the negative electrode active material from the negative electrode current collector. Filter the substances in the negative electrode film layer by suction and use it as a test sample. Use an inductively coupled plasma - emission spectrometer of model ICAP7400 from Thermo Fisher Scientific Company in the United States for the test sample, and refer to the standard GB / T30902-2014 to obtain the silicon element content.
[0152] According to some embodiments of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer can be 90mg / 1540.25mm 2 -140mg / 1540.25mm 2 . For example, it can be 90mg / 1540.25mm 2 、110mg / 1540.25mm 2 、125mg / 1540.25mm 2 、140mg / 1540.25mm 2 etc. Thereby, the energy density of the battery cell is improved.
[0153] The present application provides a method for testing the coating weight of a negative electrode active material layer: disassemble the negative electrode plate from a battery cell. For example, take a negative electrode plate with single-sided coating (if it is a double-sided coated plate, the negative electrode active material layer on one side can be wiped off first), and punch it into small circular pieces with an area of S 2 and weigh them, record the weight as M 3 . Then wipe off the negative electrode active material layer of the weighed negative electrode plate above, weigh the weight of the negative electrode current collector, and record it as M 2 . The single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer = (M 3 - M 2 ) / S 2 .
[0154] According to some embodiments of the present application, along the length direction of the battery cell, the size of the negative electrode active material layer is larger than the size of the positive electrode active material layer, and the difference between the size of the negative electrode active material layer and the size of the positive electrode active material layer is OH 1 ; along the width direction of the battery cell, the size of the negative electrode active material layer is larger than the size of the positive electrode active material layer, and the difference between the size of the negative electrode active material layer and the size of the positive electrode active material layer is OH 2 , wherein, OH 1 is greater than or equal to OH 2 .
[0155] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the battery cell includes a housing 11 and an electrode assembly. The length direction of the housing 11 is the length direction of the battery cell, and the width direction of the housing 11 is the width direction of the battery cell. The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer 1212 provided on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector; the negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer 1222 provided on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector.
[0156] Referring to Figure 2 , along the length direction of the battery cell, the size of the positive electrode active material layer 1212 is OH 11 , the size of the negative electrode active material layer 1222 is OH 21 , and the difference between the size of the negative electrode active material layer 1222 and the size of the positive electrode active material layer 1212 is OH 1 = OH 21 - OH 11 .
[0157] Referring to Figure 2 , along the width direction of the battery cell, the size of the positive electrode active material layer 1212 is OH12 The size 1222 of the negative electrode active material layer is OH 22 The difference between the size of the negative electrode active material layer 1222 and the size of the positive electrode active material layer 1212 is OH 2 =OH 22 -OH 12 .
[0158] During fast charging, the current flowing through the electrode tab side of the electrode is large, the temperature is higher, the lithium ion migration rate is faster than other parts, and lithium deposition is likely to occur. By making the size of the negative electrode active material layer larger than the size of the positive electrode active material layer, more negative electrode active material layers can receive lithium ions, improving lithium deposition. And because in the length direction of the battery cell, the lithium ion diffusion path is longer, by making OH 1 greater than or equal to OH 2 , more negative electrode active material layers can receive lithium ions in the length direction, reducing the risk of lithium deposition at the edge.

And when the compaction density of the positive electrode plate is 2.46 g / cm 3 -2.8 g / cm 3 , and the compaction density of the negative electrode plate is 1.3 g / cm 3 -1.5 g / cm 3 , since the electrolyte contains both lithium fluorosulfonylimide and lithium hexafluorophosphate and the ratio of their mass ratios is within a suitable range, a battery cell with good cycle performance can be obtained with less electrolyte.

[0243] As can be seen from Table 2, when the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet is within the scope protected by this application, and the electrolyte contains both lithium fluorosulfonylimide and lithium hexafluorophosphate, as the mass of the electrolyte corresponding to each Ah of the battery cell increases, the cycle performance of the battery cell gradually improves. However, the volumetric energy density of the battery cell gradually decreases. When the mass of the electrolyte corresponding to each Ah of the battery cell is greater than 3 g, the energy density will continue to decrease. When the mass of the electrolyte corresponding to each Ah of the battery cell is 2.2 g - 3 g, the battery cell has both a relatively high volumetric energy density and good cycle performance.

[0261] As can be seen from Table 5, by adjusting the content of carbonate additives in the electrolyte, the cycling performance of the battery cell can be improved, indicating that adjusting the content of carbonate additives forms a more stable SEI film, thereby reducing the side reactions between the electrolyte and the electrode surface.
