DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0083] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present application are described in detail. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application and are therefore only used as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.
[0084] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0085] Unless otherwise specified, all embodiments and optional embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.
[0086] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and optional technical features of this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.
[0087] Unless otherwise specified, all steps of the present application may be performed sequentially or randomly, preferably sequentially. For example, the method includes steps (a) and (b), indicating that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed sequentially, or may include steps (b) and (a) performed sequentially. For example, the method may further include step (c), indicating that step (c) may 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.
[0088] Currently, market developments indicate that batteries are becoming increasingly widely used. They are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal, wind, and solar power plants, but are also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric vehicles, as well as in military equipment and aerospace applications. However, the battery cells used in related technologies cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of fast charging and long cycle times.
[0089] The present application aims to propose a battery cell with both excellent fast charging performance and high-temperature cycle life. The battery cell proposed in the present application comprises a positive electrode active material comprising a lithium-containing phosphate and a negative electrode active material comprising graphite. In order to further enhance the fast charging capability of the battery cell, a chain carboxylate is introduced into the electrolyte to enhance the wettability of the electrolyte in the positive electrode film layer comprising the lithium-containing phosphate and the negative electrode film layer comprising graphite, thereby contributing to enhancing the lithium ion transmission efficiency in the electrode film layer and enhancing the conductivity of the lithium ions in the electrolyte, thereby further enhancing the fast charging capability of the battery cell. However, as the conductivity of the electrolyte increases, the migration speed of the lithium ions in the electrolyte becomes faster, and the reaction rate at the phase interface increases accordingly. The violent reaction leads to uneven phase interface reaction, which makes the SEI film formed at the negative electrode unstable and continuously ruptures and reorganizes during the cycle, especially under high temperature conditions, further increasing the gas production of the battery cell and reducing the high-temperature cycle life of the battery cell. The present application discovered that by adding at least one of an Fe-containing oxide or a Ni-containing oxide to the positive electrode film layer, the oxygen-containing substances released by the decomposition during the battery cell cycle can participate in the film-forming reaction on the surface of the negative electrode active material, thereby improving the stability of the SEI film, improving the continuity of charge transfer, and reducing the increase in impedance caused by the instability of the SEI film, thereby improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell while improving the high-temperature cycle life of the battery cell.
[0090] The first aspect of the present application provides a battery cell, wherein the battery cell comprises a positive electrode plate, wherein the positive electrode plate comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, Figure 1 The positive electrode film layer includes a lithium-containing phosphate 221 and a lithium supplement additive 222, and the lithium supplement additive 222 includes at least one of an Fe oxide or a Ni oxide; the negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer arranged on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode film layer includes graphite; the electrolyte includes a chain carboxylate, and the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 10mS / cm-18mS / cm.
[0091] Therefore, the battery cell proposed in this application improves the fast charging capability of the battery cell by introducing a chain carboxylate into the electrolyte. On this basis, at least one of an Fe-containing oxide or a Ni-containing oxide is added to the positive electrode film layer to improve the stability of the SEI film, reduce the continuous rupture and recombination of the SEI due to the excessively high conductivity of the electrolyte, and improve the high-temperature cycle life of the battery cell.
[0092] In the present application, the positive electrode sheet can be cut along its thickness direction by plasma to obtain a cross-section of the positive electrode sheet, and observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at an appropriate magnification. The average particle size is 500μm-800nm for lithium-containing phosphate, and the average particle size is 10μm-15μm for Fe-containing oxide or Ni-containing oxide.
[0093] As an example, the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 10 mS / cm, 12 mS / cm, 14 mS / cm, 16 mS / cm, 18 mS / cm, etc., or can be any range of the above values. This improves the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and the rate performance of the battery cell.
[0094] In this application, after disassembling the battery cells to obtain the electrolyte, a conductivity meter is used. The conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature can be tested with reference to HG-T 4067-2015.
[0095] According to some embodiments of the present application, the Fe oxide or the Ni oxide includes lithium and serves as a first lithium-replenishing additive to supplement the lithium ions in the battery cell. Specifically, the inclusion of lithium in the Fe oxide or the inclusion of lithium in the Ni oxide allows the first lithium-replenishing additive to act during the formation process or the cycling of the battery cell and release active lithium ions to compensate for the lithium ions consumed in forming the SEI film, thereby improving the cycle life and energy density of the battery cell.
[0096] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first lithium supplement additive includes at least one of lithium nickelate and lithium ferrite.
[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, the first lithium supplement additive may include Li e M1 f O g , wherein 1≤e≤6, 1≤f≤6, 2≤g≤12, and M1 may include one or more of Ni, Co, Mn, and Fe.
[0098] Exemplarily, the value of e can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values. Optionally, the value of e can be 1<e≤6, such as 2≤e≤5.
[0099] The value of f can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0100] The value of g can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values. Optionally, the value of g can be 2≤g≤8.
[0101] Among them, Li e M1 f O g The charge capacity is 1 to 5 times that of the multi-element positive electrode active material, which can provide additional lithium during the first charge process. In addition, it is beneficial to pre-store additional lithium in the negative electrode to extend the battery life. e M1 f O g , which can achieve a good lithium replenishment effect. It is understandable that during the battery formation and use process, as the lithium replenishment process proceeds, the lithium in the first lithium replenishment additive will be partially or completely released, causing the first lithium replenishment additive to transform from an initial state to a partially or completely delithiated state. At this time, the situation of e≤1 and / or g≤2 will occur.
[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, the first lithium supplement additive may include but is not limited to Li2NiO2 and / or Li5FeO4. In the manufacturing process of the positive electrode sheet, Li2NiO2 and / or Li5FeO4 may be directly incorporated into the positive electrode active material layer.
[0103] Li2NiO2 can form LiNiO2 with lithium deintercalation ability after lithium removal. LiNiO2 can become Li 1-x NiO2, 0≤x≤1, can be restored to LiNiO2 in the lithium-intercalated state.
[0104] Li5FeO4 has a strong lithium replenishment capacity, and the LiFeO2 formed after delithiation does not cause obvious side reactions. Therefore, using Li2NiO2 and / or Li5FeO4 as a lithium replenisher can achieve a good capacity compensation effect.
[0105] Exemplarily, the lithium replenisher may be Li2NiO2, which can provide considerable lithium replenishment capacity simply by changing the valence of Ni atoms at a relatively low potential, without requiring oxygen atoms to change valence, thereby reducing the risk of the electrolyte being oxidized by oxygen free radicals.
[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the first lithium supplement additive may include an initial state, a partially delithiated state, and a completely delithiated state. When the first lithium supplement additive changes from the initial state to the partially delithiated state and the completely delithiated state, the lithium supplement additive may include Li n NiO m and / or Li p FeO q , where 0≤n≤2, 0<m≤2, 0<p≤5, 0<q≤4.
[0107] For example, the value of n can be 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2, or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0108] The value of m can be 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0109] The value of p can be 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0110] The value of q can be 1, 2, 3 or 4, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0111] For example, taking the first lithium supplement additive of Li2NiO2 in its initial state as an example, when the lithium in Li2NiO2 is partially released, the first lithium supplement additive Li n NiO m The composition may include one or more components of 0<n<1, n=1, 1<n<2; when the lithium in Li2NiO2 is completely removed, the first lithium supplement additive Li n NiO m The composition may include NiO m .
[0112] Taking the first lithium supplement additive of Li5FeO4 in its initial state as an example, when the lithium in Li5FeO4 is partially released, the first lithium supplement additive Li p FeO q The composition may include one or more components of 1<p<2, 2≤p<3, 3≤p<4, 4≤p<5; when the lithium in Li5FeO4 is completely removed, the first lithium supplement additive Li p FeO q The composition may include LiFeO2. Under factors such as polarization, LiFeO2 may continue to remove lithium, and Li with p < 1 may appear. p FeO q component.
[0113] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first lithium supplement additive changes from an initial state to a completely delithiated state, the first lithium supplement additive may include NiO m and / or Li p FeO q , where 0<m≤2, 0<p≤1, 0<q≤2.
[0114] For example, the value of m can be 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2, or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0115] The value of p can be 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 or 1, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0116] The value of q can be 0.2, 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0117] For example, taking the lithium supplement agent whose initial state is Li2NiO2 and Li5FeO4 as an example, when the first lithium supplement additive is completely delithiated, the first lithium supplement additive after decomposition may include but is not limited to NiO and / or LiFeO2, and the oxygen-containing substances released by the decomposition during the battery cell cycle can participate in the film-forming reaction on the surface of the negative electrode active material, thereby improving the stability of the SEI film, improving the continuity of charge transfer, and reducing the increase in impedance caused by the instability of the SEI film, thereby improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell while improving the high-temperature cycle life of the battery cell.
[0118] In some embodiments of the present application, at least part of the surface of the first lithium supplement additive may be provided with a coating layer, and the coating layer may include one or more of the elements C, Al, Zr, P, and S. The types of elements in the coating layer of the lithium supplement additive may be qualitatively analyzed in combination with characterization methods such as EDS energy spectrum analysis. The air stability of lithium supplement agents is generally poor. Taking Li2NiO2 as an example, it has a strong alkalinity and is easy to react with water and CO2. The formation of a coating layer on the surface of the lithium supplement additive can, on the one hand, improve its air stability and reduce the generation of lithium-containing impurities on the surface; on the other hand, it can also improve the ion conductivity of the lithium supplement additive, improve the transmission efficiency of lithium ions, and improve the kinetic performance, thereby further facilitating delithiation and improving lithium supplement capacity.
[0119] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating layer may include one or more of carbon materials, aluminum oxides, zirconium oxides, lithium phosphides, and lithium sulfides. The type of coating layer material can be determined by combining one or more analytical methods such as EDS energy spectrum analysis and X-ray diffraction. Among them, the conductivity of lithium supplement additives is relatively poor. Carbon materials, aluminum oxides, and zirconium oxides as coating layer materials are beneficial to improving the air stability of lithium supplement additives and reducing the formation of lithium-containing impurities on the surface. In addition, the use of carbon materials as coating layer materials is beneficial to improving the conductivity of the positive electrode plate; the use of fast ion conductors such as lithium phosphides or lithium sulfides (for example, lithium phosphate or lithium sulfate) as coating layer materials is beneficial to improving the lithium ion transfer rate and improving the kinetic performance, thereby further facilitating lithium de-lithiation and improving the lithium supplement capacity. This is beneficial to further improve the electrochemical performance of the battery.
[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the first lithium supplement additive may further include a doping element, which may include one or more of Al, Zr, and B. Doping the first lithium supplement additive with one or more of Al, Zr, and B not only helps reduce the decomposition voltage of the lithium supplement additive and enhance its decomposition capacity, enabling it to provide greater capacity compensation, but also helps stabilize the crystal structure of the lithium supplement additive after decomposition, reduces transition metal dissolution and possible side reactions with the electrolyte, thereby further improving the battery's energy efficiency and cycle life.
[0121] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the first lithium supplement additive, the content of Al element, Zr element, and B element in the first lithium supplement additive can be independently 50ppm-1000ppm, such as 50ppm, 200ppm, 500ppm, 800ppm or 1000ppm, etc.
[0122] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium supplement additive also includes a second lithium supplement additive, and the second lithium supplement additive includes one or more of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium phosphate, lithium hydrogen phosphate, lithium sulfate, lithium sulfite, lithium molybdate, lithium oxalate, lithium titanate, lithium tetraborate, lithium metasilicate, lithium metamanganate, lithium tartrate, and trilithium citrate.
[0123] In the present application, by simultaneously adding the first lithium replenishing additive and the second lithium replenishing additive to the positive electrode film layer, both lithium replenishing additives can replenish lithium ions, make up for the irreversible lithium ion loss in the system, and increase the capacity of the battery. In addition, the first lithium replenishing additive can also release oxygen elements, participate in the formation of the SEI film, improve the stability of the SEI film, and increase the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0124] According to some embodiments of the present application, the total mass of the first and second lithium-supplementing additives can be 0.1%-5% based on the total mass of the positive electrode film layer, for example, 0.1%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, or any range thereof. This improves the lithium replenishment effect, increases the capacity of the battery cell, and increases the cycle life and energy density of the battery cell.
[0125] In the present application, one or more conventional instruments and methods such as a scanning electron microscope, an EDS spectrometer, an X-ray diffractometer, and an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer can be combined to qualitatively analyze the positive electrode film layer to determine whether there is a lithium supplement additive in the positive electrode film layer and its type. For example, in the positive electrode active material layer, in addition to the different elemental compositions, the lithium supplement additive and the positive electrode active material particles usually also have differences in size and particle morphology. Moreover, the lithium supplement additive does not completely disappear after delithiation, but rather leaves residual elements and particle skeletons. The lithium supplement additive usually shrinks in volume after delithiation, so that a certain gap is formed between the residual particle skeleton and the surrounding area (reference Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a scanning electron micrograph of a cross-section of a positive electrode sheet in a battery cell according to another embodiment of the present application. It shows the microscopic morphology of a lithium-supplementing additive (e.g., lithium ferrite) with a coating layer after delithiation. During the later stages of delithiation, gaps form between the particle skeleton and the coating layer on the surface of the lithium-supplementing additive. Based on these differences, scanning electron microscopy testing can be used to quickly screen for possible locations of the lithium-supplementing additive in a cross-section of the positive electrode sheet along its thickness. Furthermore, EDS analysis can be used to distinguish between lithium-supplementing additive particles and positive electrode active material particles by elemental composition, and then to compare the size differences between the positive electrode active material particles and the lithium-supplementing additive particles. For another example, the surface roughness of positive electrode active material particles and lithium-supplementing additive particles is typically different. This difference can also be used to quickly screen for possible locations of the lithium-supplementing additive during scanning electron microscopy testing. For another example, lithium-supplementing additives are typically not completely delithiated after formation. By comparing the changes in diffraction peaks (e.g., peak position, peak intensity, etc.) in the XRD patterns of the positive electrode active material layer before and after charge and discharge, it can be determined in advance whether the positive electrode sheet contains a lithium-supplementing additive and what type of lithium-supplementing additive has been added. In addition, due to the difference in lithium content between the lithium-supplementing additive and the positive electrode active material itself, as well as the different lithium deintercalation efficiency during charging and discharging, the lithium content of the battery cell in the fully charged or fully discharged state is also different. For example, in the charged state, the lithium deintercalation efficiency of the lithium-supplementing additive in the positive electrode is usually lower than that of the positive electrode active material, which can be characterized and distinguished by FIB (focused ion beam) combined with SIMS (secondary ion mass spectrometry) testing; and in a charging and discharging process, the difference in lithium deintercalation efficiency between the lithium-supplementing additive and the positive electrode active material leads to obvious differences in the volume expansion between the material particles, which can be observed and characterized by in situ confocal microscopy.

Thus, the safety performance and cycle life of the battery cell are improved.

[0134] As an example, z can be 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0135] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium-containing phosphate includes lithium iron phosphate material, thereby improving the safety and cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0136] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium-containing phosphate is in a granular form, and the volume average particle size Dv50 of the lithium-containing phosphate is 1µm-2µm, for example, 1µm, 1.2µm, 1.4µm, 1.6µm, 1.8µm, 2µm, etc., or a range consisting of any of the above values. As a result, the volume average particle size of the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure is small, which can shorten the migration path of lithium ions in the solid phase, reduce polarization of the battery cell, reduce heat generation, and improve the high-temperature cycling performance of the battery cell.
[0137] In this application, Dv50 refers to the particle size at which the cumulative volume distribution percentage reaches 50%, as measured, for example, using a laser particle size analyzer (Malvern Master Size 2000) in accordance with the standard GB / T 19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009. The specific testing process is as follows: The cathode film powder is scraped off, calcined at high temperature in an air atmosphere, ground into a powder, and sieved. An appropriate amount of the sample to be tested (ensuring a light-blocking concentration of 8%-12%) is taken, deionized water is added, and ultrasonic dispersion is performed to ensure complete dispersion of the sample. The sample is then measured in accordance with the GB / T 19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009 standard.
[0138] According to some embodiments of the present application, the volume particle size Dv10 of the lithium-containing phosphate is 0.4µm-0.7µm, for example, 0.4µm, 0.5µm, 0.6µm, 0.7µm, etc., or a range consisting of any of the above values. As a result, the volume particle size Dv10 of the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate is small, which can shorten the migration path of lithium ions in the solid phase, reduce polarization of the battery cell, reduce heat generation, and improve the high-temperature cycling performance of the battery cell.
[0139] In this application, Dv10 refers to the particle size corresponding to the cumulative volume distribution percentage reaching 10%, as measured, for example, using a laser particle size analyzer (Malvern Master Size 2000) in accordance with the standard GB / T 19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009. The specific testing process is as follows: scrape the positive electrode film powder, calcine it at high temperature in an air atmosphere, grind it into a powder, and after screening, take an appropriate amount of the sample to be tested (the sample concentration should ensure an 8%-12% light shielding), add deionized water, and ultrasonically disperse the sample to ensure complete dispersion. The sample is then measured according to the GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009 standard.
[0140] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium-containing phosphate includes secondary particles, and the average particle size of the primary particles in the secondary particles is 200nm-500nm, for example, 200nm, 300nm, 400nm, 500nm, etc., or a range consisting of any of the above values. This can shorten the migration path of lithium ions in the solid phase, reduce polarization of the battery cell, reduce heat generation, and improve the high-temperature performance of the battery cell.
[0141] In this application, the test method for the average particle size of primary particles is to use plasma to cut the positive electrode sheet along its thickness direction to obtain a cross-section of the positive electrode sheet, observe it under an appropriate magnification using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and randomly select at least 50 primary particles. The average particle size of a single primary particle = (the longest diameter of a single particle + the shortest diameter of a single particle) / 2, and the average value of the selected primary particles is the average particle size of the primary particles.
[0142] According to some embodiments of the present application, the battery cell further includes an electrolyte, and the electrolyte includes a chain carboxylate. Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the chain carboxylate can be 5%-60%, for example, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values. By making the content of the chain carboxylate 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 production of the electrolyte under high temperature conditions can be reduced, and the high temperature cycle life of the battery cell can be increased, thereby obtaining a battery cell with high energy density, excellent fast charging performance and high temperature cycle life. According to some specific embodiments of the present application, the mass proportion of the chain carboxylate can be 8%-30%.
[0143] In the present application, the content of the chain carboxylic acid ester is tested by quantitative analysis of organic components by gas chromatography.
[0144] According to some embodiments of the present application, the chain carboxylate may include a compound represented by Formula II:
[0145] Formula II,
[0146] Wherein, R1 includes one or more of a hydrogen atom, a C1-C5 alkyl group, and a C1-C5 haloalkyl group, and R2 includes one or more of a C1-C5 alkyl group and a C1-C5 haloalkyl group.
[0147] Therefore, when the mass proportion of the chain carboxylic acid ester shown in Formula I is 5%-60%, on the one hand, the use of the chain carboxylic acid ester with the above-mentioned content can improve the wetting ability of the electrolyte in the electrode film layer, especially in longer battery cells, improve the wetting uniformity of the electrolyte in the length direction of the electrode, improve the electron transmission ability of the active material, and in addition, can also increase the lithium ion migration rate in the electrolyte, thereby improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell; on the other hand, too high a content of carboxylic acid ester solvents also increases the gas production inside the battery cell, which is not conducive to the cycle of the battery at high temperature. Therefore, an appropriate amount of carboxylic acid ester solvents can also reduce the risk of gas production of the electrolyte under high temperature conditions and improve the high temperature cycle life of the battery.
[0148] According to some embodiments of the present application, R1 includes one or more of a hydrogen atom, a C1-C3 alkyl group, or a C1-C3 haloalkyl group. For example, R1 may include one or more of a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a fluoromethyl group, a fluoroethyl group, or a fluoropropyl group. This improves the conductivity of the electrolyte.
[0149] According to some embodiments of the present application, R2 includes one or more of a C1-C3 alkyl group and a C1-C3 haloalkyl group. For example, R2 can be one or more of a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a fluoromethyl group, a fluoroethyl group, and a fluoropropyl group. This improves the conductivity of the electrolyte.
[0150] According to some embodiments of the present application, the chain carboxylic acid ester may include Formula II-1, Formula II-2, Formula II-3, Formula II-4, Formula II-5, Formula II-6, Formula II-7, One or more of formula II-8. Therefore, the molecular weight of the above-mentioned chain carboxylic acid ester is relatively small, which can improve the conductivity of the electrolyte.
[0151] According to some embodiments of the present application, the viscosity of the electrolyte at room temperature may be 1.5 mPa·s to 5.5 mPa·s, for example, 1.5 mPa·s, 2.5 mPa·s, 3.5 mPa·s, 4.5 mPa·s, 5.5 mPa·s, etc., or may be within a range consisting of any of the foregoing values. This increases the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte, reduces the internal resistance of the battery cell, and improves the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0152] In the present application, after disassembling the battery cells to obtain the electrolyte, the viscosity of the electrolyte is tested by a kinematic viscometer. The viscosity of the electrolyte at room temperature can be tested with reference to GB / T 10247-2008.
[0153] According to some embodiments of the present application, the density of the electrolyte at room temperature can be 1.05 g / mL-1.35 g / mL, for example, 1.05 g / mL, 1.15 g / mL, 1.25 g / mL, 1.35 g / mL, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values. This increases the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte, reduces the internal resistance of the battery cell, and improves the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0154] In this application, after disassembling the battery cell to obtain the electrolyte, the density of the electrolyte is tested using a liquid density meter. The density of the electrolyte at room temperature can be tested with reference to GB / T 2013-2010.
[0155] According to some embodiments of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer can be 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 -340mg / 1540.25mm 2 , for example, it can be 200mg / 1540.25mm 2 、230mg / 1540.25mm 2 、260mg / 1540.25mm 2 、290mg / 1540.25mm 2 、320mg / 1540.25mm 2 、340mg / 1540.25mm 2 etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values. Thus, by making the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be increased. According to some specific embodiments of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer can be 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 -300mg / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0156] This application provides a method for testing the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer: A battery cell is disassembled to remove the positive electrode sheet. For example, a single-sided coated positive electrode sheet (for double-sided coated sheets, the positive electrode film layer on one side can be wiped off first) is punched into small discs with an area of S1. These discs are weighed and recorded as M1. The positive electrode film layer of the weighed positive electrode sheet is then wiped off, and the weight of the positive electrode current collector is weighed and recorded as M0. The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer = (M1 - M0) / S1.
[0157] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium-containing phosphate has a charge capacity of 150 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g at a charge rate of 0.1 C, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery cell.
[0158] According to some embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer corresponding to the battery cell at 100% SOC can be 2.5 g / cm 3 -2.8g / cm 3 , for example, it can be 2.5 g / cm 3 , 2.55g / cm 3 , 2.6g / cm 3 , 2.65g / cm 3 , 2.7g / cm 3 , 2.75g / cm 3 , 2.8g / cm 3 etc., or can be within a range consisting of any of the above values. Therefore, when the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the positive electrode sheets are densely stacked, which is beneficial to improving the energy density of the battery cell. In addition, the contact resistance between particles is small, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, reduce the heat generation of the battery cell, and improve the high-temperature performance of the battery cell.
[0159] The present application provides a method for testing the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer: charge to 3.8V at a constant current of 1 / 3C, charge to 0.05C at a constant voltage of 3.8V, disassemble the battery cell to obtain the positive electrode sheet, for example, take a single-sided coated positive electrode sheet (if it is a double-sided coated sheet, the positive electrode film layer on one side can be wiped off first), punch it into a small disc with an area of S1, weigh it, record it as M1, and measure its thickness H1. Then wipe off the positive electrode film layer of the weighed positive electrode sheet, weigh the weight of the positive electrode current collector, record it as M0, and measure its thickness H0. The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer = (M1- M0) / S1, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer = H1- H0, and the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer = the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer / the thickness of the positive electrode film layer.

The through hole 1210 and the electrode terminal 1221 are connected. 1 is provided with a sealing member 124 for insulation and sealing, and an opening is provided on the sealing member 124 so that the electrode terminal 1221 can pass through. A second insulating member 126 and a rivet block 1225 are provided on the side of the second cover plate 1214 away from the electrode assembly. The second insulating member 126 and the rivet block 1225 are also provided with openings. The electrode terminal 1221 passes through the openings of the second insulating member 126 and the rivet block 1225 in sequence, wherein the second insulating member 126 is used to insulate the electrode terminal 1221 from the second cover plate 1214, and the rivet block 1225 is used to fix the electrode terminal 1221 on the second cover plate 1214.
[0174] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 The cover plate assembly 12 further includes a positioning member 125 , and the positioning member 125 includes at least two members to prevent the electrode terminal 1221 from deflecting and improve the force strength of the electrode terminal 1221 .
[0175] In this application, reference Figure 4 and Figure 8 The electrode terminal 1221 includes a terminal body 1224, a first limiting portion 1222 and a second limiting portion 1223. The terminal body 1224 passes through the through hole 1210 and connects the first limiting portion 1222 and the second limiting portion 1223. In the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the cover plate, since the first limiting portion 1222 and the second limiting portion 1223 play a limiting role, their cross-sectional area is larger than that of the terminal body 1224, and the cross-sectional area of the terminal body 1224 is often smaller.
[0176] As an example, the cover plate can be made of a material with a certain hardness and strength (such as aluminum alloy), which makes the cover plate have higher strength, reduces deformation of the cover plate when squeezed, and improves the safety performance of the battery cell. In some embodiments, a steel shell can be selected.
[0177] As an example, the cover plate and the housing 11 may be independent components.
[0178] As an example, the cover plate and the shell 11 can also be integrated.

The pressure relief mechanism 1212 can be attached to the cover plate by bonding, welding, or other methods. When the internal pressure of the battery cell reaches a threshold, the pressure relief mechanism 1212 opens at least a portion of the pressure relief holes, allowing the exhaust gas inside the battery cell to be discharged through the pressure relief holes to relieve the pressure inside the battery cell.
[0181] According to some embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 4 and Figure 8 The cross section of the terminal body 1224 along the direction perpendicular to the thickness of the cover plate is a rounded rectangular shape.

[0182] According to some embodiments of the present application, the cap plate assembly 12 is disposed at both ends of the housing 11, and each cap plate assembly 12 includes at least two electrode terminals 1221. Specifically, the cap plate assembly 12 can be disposed at both ends of the length direction or the width direction of the housing 11, and each cap plate assembly 12 includes two electrode terminals 1221 with the same polarity or opposite polarity. This reduces the resistance of the battery cell and improves the current carrying capacity of the battery cell.

[0184] According to some embodiments of the present application, the electrode terminals of the same polarity are arranged diagonally along the length direction of the battery cell.

[0205] In some embodiments, an L-shaped adapter plate may be welded to the negative electrode tab 32 to achieve electrical connection with the electrode terminals on the two cover plate assemblies arranged along the length direction of the battery cell.
[0206] In some embodiments, the battery cell of the present application is a laminated battery, in which the positive electrode sheets and the negative electrode sheets are stacked, each layer of the positive electrode sheets is provided with a positive electrode tab, and each layer of the negative electrode sheets is provided with a negative electrode tab.
[0207] 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 substrate and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer substrate. 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) on a polymer substrate (such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).
[0208] In some embodiments, the positive electrode sheet can be prepared by the following method: the components for preparing the positive electrode sheet, such as the positive electrode active material, the conductive agent, the binder and any other components, are dispersed in a solvent (such as N-methylpyrrolidone) to form a positive electrode slurry; the positive electrode slurry is coated on the positive electrode current collector, and after drying, cold pressing and other processes, the positive electrode sheet can be obtained.
[0209] According to some embodiments of the present application, the electrode assembly further includes a negative electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector, at least one side of the negative electrode current collector is provided with a negative electrode film layer, and the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer corresponding to the battery cell at 100% SOC can be 1.15 g / cm 3 -1.36g / cm 3 , for example, can be 1.15 g / cm 3 , 1.2g / cm 3 , 1.25g / cm 3 , 1.3g / cm 3 , 1.36g / cm 3 According to some specific embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer corresponding to the battery cell at 100% SOC can be 1.25 g / cm 3 -1.36g / cm 3 This increases the energy density of the battery cell.
[0210] The present application provides a method for testing the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer: charge to 3.8V at a constant current of 1 / 3C, charge to 0.05C at a constant voltage of 3.8V, disassemble the battery cell to obtain the negative electrode sheet, for example, take a single-sided coated negative electrode sheet (if it is a double-sided coated sheet, the negative electrode film layer on one side can be wiped off first), punch it into small discs with an area of S2, weigh it, record it as M3, and measure its thickness H3. Then wipe off the negative electrode film layer of the weighed negative electrode sheet, weigh the weight of the negative electrode current collector, record it as M2, and measure its thickness H2. The single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer = (M3- M2) / S2, the thickness of the negative electrode film layer = H3- H2, and the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer = the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer / the thickness of the negative electrode film layer.
[0211] According to some embodiments of the present application, the single-side coating weight of the negative electrode film layer can be 90 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 -170mg / 1540.25mm 2 , for example, it can be 90mg / 1540.25mm 2 、110mg / 1540.25mm 2 、130mg / 1540.25mm 2 、150mg / 1540.25mm 2 、170mg / 1540.25mm 2 According to some specific embodiments of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer can be 110 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 -150mg / 1540.25mm 2 This increases the energy density of the battery cell.
[0212] This application provides a method for measuring the coating weight of the negative electrode film layer: A battery cell is disassembled to remove the negative electrode sheet. For example, a single-sided coated negative electrode sheet (for double-sided coated sheets, the negative electrode film layer on one side can be wiped off first) is punched into small discs with an area of S2. These discs are weighed and recorded as M3. The negative electrode film layer of the weighed negative electrode sheet is then wiped off, and the weight of the negative electrode current collector is weighed and recorded as M2. The single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer = (M3 - M2) / S2.
[0213] According to some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material, and the charge capacity of the negative electrode active material at a 0.1C rate is 350mAh / g-480mAh / g, for example, 350mAh / g, 370mAh / g, 390mAh / g, 410mAh / g, 430mAh / g, 450mAh / g, 480mAh / g, etc., or can be within a range consisting of any of the above values.

The first negative electrode film layer 311 includes first graphite particles, and the second negative electrode film layer 312 includes second graphite particles. The volume average particle size of the first graphite particles is larger than the volume average particle size of the second graphite particles.

By reducing the volume average particle size of the second graphite particles, the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions can be shortened, the diffusion rate of lithium ions can be increased, and the fast charging performance can be improved. At the same time, the problem of lithium plating on the negative electrode surface can be improved.

Thus, the smaller volume average particle size of the second graphite particles can shorten the solid-phase transport path of lithium ions and improve the fast-charging performance of the battery cell.
[0218] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer each independently comprise a silicon-based material. Based on the total mass of the negative electrode film layer, the mass percentage of silicon can be 0.3%-10%, for example, 0.3%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 9%, 10%, or any range thereof. This increases the capacity of the negative electrode active material and the energy density of the battery cell.
[0219] In the present application, the content of silicon element can be tested by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).
[0220] According to some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is 4µm-8.5µm, for example, 4µm, 5µm, 6µm, 7µm, 8µm, 8.5µm, etc., or any range thereof. Thus, while reducing the space occupied by the internal space of the housing 11, the flow capacity of the negative electrode current collector is improved.
[0221] In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, copper foil may be used as the metal foil. The composite current collector may include a polymer substrate and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer 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) on a polymer substrate (such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).
[0222] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet can be prepared by the following method: the components for preparing the negative electrode sheet, such as the negative electrode active material, the conductive agent, the binder and any other components, are dispersed in a solvent (such as deionized water) to form a negative electrode slurry; the negative electrode slurry is coated on the negative electrode current collector, and after drying, cold pressing and other processes, the negative electrode sheet can be obtained.
[0223] According to some embodiments of the present application, the battery cell is configured to charge from 10% SOC to 80% SOC in a time range of 5 min to 10.5 min, for example, 5 min, 7 min, 9 min, 10.5 min, etc., or in a range of any of the above values. Thus, the fast charging performance of the battery cell is improved. According to some specific embodiments of the present application, the battery cell is configured to charge from 10% SOC to 80% SOC in a time range of 7 min to 10 min.
[0224] In some embodiments, the battery further includes a separator. The present application has no particular limitation on the type of separator, and any known porous separator with good chemical and mechanical stability can be selected.

[0280] As can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the present application can improve the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, reduce the DCR of the battery cell, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell by adding chain carboxylic acid esters to the electrolyte. As the content of chain carboxylic acid esters increases, the reaction rate at the phase interface increases accordingly, the stability of the SEI film decreases, and the high-temperature cycle life of the battery cell gradually decreases. As can be seen from Example 2 and Comparative Example 3, by adding lithium ferrite and lithium titanate to the positive electrode sheet, a battery cell with a lower DCR and a higher high-temperature cycle life can be obtained. This shows that by adding Fe-containing oxides or Ni-containing oxides to the positive electrode film layer, the stability of the SEI film can be improved, the continuity of charge transfer can be improved, and the increase in impedance caused by the instability of the SEI film can be reduced, thereby improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell while improving the high-temperature cycle life of the battery cell.

[0299]
[0300] It can be seen from the comparison between Examples 5 to 12 and Comparative Example 3 that the cycle life of the battery cell can be improved by adding a lithium supplement additive to the positive electrode film layer.
[0301] As can be seen from Examples 5-12, when the positive electrode film layer contains both the first and second lithium-supplementing additives, the DCR of the battery cell can be further reduced, and the high-temperature cycle life of the battery cell can be improved, compared to adding only the first lithium-supplementing additive. In other words, while the first lithium-supplementing additive improves SEI film stability and replenishes lithium, the second lithium-supplementing additive can further enhance the lithium-supplementing effect, thereby extending the high-temperature cycle life of the battery cell.
