[0001] This application claims the priority of PCT International Application PCT / CN2025 / 086890 titled "Battery Cell, Battery Device, Electrical Device, and Energy Storage Device" filed on April 2, 2025, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the technical field of battery cells, and particularly to a battery cell, a battery device, an electrical device, and an energy storage device. Background Art
[0003] In recent years, battery cells have been widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydroelectric, thermal, wind, and solar power stations, as well as in multiple fields such as power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, and aerospace.
[0004] With the dual increase in the market's demand for the cruising range and charging efficiency of electrical devices, higher requirements are also put forward for the energy density of battery cells, etc. However, while improving the energy density performance, it often brings about the deterioration of fast charging performance and cycle stability, which has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application is made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a battery cell, a battery device, an electrical device, and an energy storage device. The battery cell takes into account the improvement of energy density, fast charging performance, and cycle stability, and realizes the comprehensive improvement of battery performance.
[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a battery cell, including an electrode assembly and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode tab, a separator, and a negative electrode tab stacked in sequence. The positive electrode tab includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer provided on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure. Among them, the tap density of the positive electrode active material layer is 2.65 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm 3 , and the size of the positive electrode active material layer along the length direction of the electrode assembly is 300 mm to 950 mm; the viscosity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 2.3 mPa·s to 3.5 mPa·s.
[0007] The lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure has the advantages of low cost and good lifespan. Coupled with the design of the laminated electrode assembly where the size of the positive electrode active material layer along the length direction of the electrode assembly is within the above range and the compaction density is within the above range, it helps to improve the internal space utilization rate of the battery cell, solve the problem of relatively low energy density of the battery cell when using the lithium-containing phosphate as the positive electrode active material, and at the same time make the internal resistance of the battery cell appropriate, enabling the battery cell to have excellent energy density and fast charging performance. However, the above electrode assembly design makes the distance for the electrolyte to infiltrate the positive and negative electrode active material layers longer and the resistance greater, and the porosity of the active material layer decreases, resulting in difficulties in electrolyte infiltration in the length direction of the active material layer. Furthermore, during the cycling process, there is an easy "broken bridge" situation in the lithium-ion transmission path, and with the increase of the charging rate of the battery cell, serious lithium deposition on the negative electrode is likely to occur, leading to cycling degradation. By making the viscosity of the electrolyte within the above range in the battery cell of the embodiment of the present application, it helps to improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the positive and negative electrode active material layers, thus solving the problem of difficult electrolyte infiltration in the length direction of the active material layer. While slowing down the degree of lithium deposition under fast charging conditions, the electrolyte also has good conductivity, stability and dissociation rate, so that the battery cell has excellent cycle stability and fast charging performance. Through the mutual cooperation between the positive electrode plate and the electrolyte in the embodiment of the present application, the battery cell has excellent energy density, fast charging performance and cycle life.
[0008] In any embodiment, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer is 2.75 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm 3 .
[0009] The positive electrode active material layer with a compaction density within the above range enables the battery cell to have excellent cycle stability and fast charging performance while further improving the energy density.
[0010] In any embodiment, the size of the positive electrode active material layer along the length direction of the electrode assembly is 400 mm to 650 nm.
[0011] When the size of the positive electrode active material layer along the length direction of the electrode assembly is within the above range, the battery cell has excellent energy density, cycle stability and fast charging performance.
[0012] In any embodiment, the electrolyte includes a first solvent. The viscosity η of the first solvent at room temperature is 0.3 mPa·s to 0.6 mPa·s, and based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the first solvent is 8% to 60%.
[0013] The first solvent with a viscosity η within the above range has both excellent stability and low viscosity. The mass percentage of the first solvent within the above range helps to reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte, improve the conductivity of the electrolyte, and at the same time take into account the stability of the electrolyte, thus being beneficial to the further comprehensive improvement of the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0014] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the first solvent is 30% to 60%.
[0015] When the mass percentage of the first solvent is within the above range, it is beneficial to further reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte, improve the conductivity of the electrolyte. While the battery cell has excellent cycle stability, the fast charging performance is further improved.
[0016] In any embodiment, the first solvent includes carboxylic ester solvents.
[0017] Carboxylic ester solvents have the advantages of low viscosity and high ionic conductivity, which are beneficial to the wetting of the positive and negative electrode active material layers by the electrolyte and the rapid insertion and extraction of active ions in the negative electrode active material layer, thus further improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0018] In any embodiment, the carboxylic ester solvent has the structural general formula of R , -COO-R ,, wherein R , includes one or more of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group of C 1 ~C 5 , a halogenated alkyl group of C 1 ~C 5 , and R ,, includes one or more of an alkyl group of C 1 ~C 5 , a halogenated alkyl group of C 1 ~C 5 .
[0019] In any embodiment, the carboxylic 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.
[0020] In any embodiment, the electrolyte further includes a second solvent, and the second solvent includes carbonate solvents. The carbonate solvents include one or more of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate.
[0021] Carbonate solvents have a high dielectric constant, which can increase the dissociation rate of lithium ions and anions in the lithium-containing electrolyte salt, and further improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0022] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the carbonate solvent is 18% to 75%.
[0023] Since carbonate solvents have a large viscosity, the electrolyte viscosity will increase with the increase of carbonate solvent content, which will have a negative impact on the conductivity of the electrolyte. By reasonably controlling the mass proportion of carbonate solvents within the above range, the electrolyte has both suitable viscosity and good dissociation rate, thereby achieving a comprehensive improvement in the electrolyte conductivity, which is conducive to further improving the fast charging performance and cycle stability of battery cells.
[0024] In any embodiment, the electrolyte includes a lithium-containing electrolyte salt, and the mass proportion of the lithium-containing electrolyte salt in the electrolyte is 10% to 18% based on the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0025] When the molar concentration of the lithium electrolyte salt in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to take into account both the wettability and ion conductivity of the electrolyte, thereby further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0026] In any embodiment, the lithium-containing electrolyte salt includes lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide LiFSI, lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF 6 One or more of .
[0027] LiFSI is easy to dissociate in the electrolyte solvent, and the molecular weight of LiFSI is smaller than that of other types of fluorinated sulfonyl imide salts (such as lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide LiTFSI), which is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the electrolyte while reducing the viscosity of the electrolyte. LiFSI has good thermal stability and is not easy to decompose during recycling. It can reduce the production of hydrogen fluoride during the battery cycle and reduce the probability of negative electrode side reactions, thereby further comprehensively improving the cycle stability and fast charging performance of the battery cell. However, with the increase in the temperature of the battery cell, LiFSI will undergo violent decomposition and release a large amount of heat at a certain temperature threshold, which will sharply increase the risk of thermal runaway of the battery. This safety risk is more significant in fast-charging batteries. Lithium-containing electrolyte salts also include lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF 6 The risk of thermal runaway of battery cells can be reduced to a controllable range, thereby improving the safety performance of battery cells.
[0028] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide LiFSI in the electrolyte is 4% to 8%.
[0029] The mass proportion of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide LiFSI is within the above range, and the battery cells have excellent fast charging performance, cycle stability and safety performance.
[0030] In any embodiment, the electrolyte further includes an additive, and the additive includes one or more of a carbonate additive, a sulfur-containing additive, a lithium salt additive, and a fluorobenzene additive.
[0031] In any embodiment, the carbonate additive includes one or more of vinylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate derivatives. Among them, the ethylene carbonate derivative includes the compound shown in Formula III. Formula III R 1 、R 2 、R 3 、R 4 Each independently includes one or more 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 1 、R 2 、R 3 、R 4 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms. Optionally, the carbonate additive includes one or more of vinylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate.
[0032] The carbonate additive can evolve into an organic component in the SEI film, improve the toughness of the SEI film, thereby improving the stability of the SEI film during the cycling process of the battery cell and reducing the interfacial impedance on the negative electrode side, reducing the side reaction between the electrolyte and the negative electrode active material layer and then reducing gas generation, which is beneficial to further improving the cycling, storage life, and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0033] In any embodiment, the sulfur-containing additive includes one or more of ethylene sulfate, bis(ethylene sulfate), 1,3-propane sultone, butene sulfite, ethylene sulfite, and methylene bis(methanesulfonate).
[0034] The sulfur-containing additive often has a relatively high potential. The sulfur-containing additive added to the electrolyte will react preferentially during formation or subsequent cycling and evolve into a sulfur-containing inorganic component in the SEI film. The SEI film formed by the carbonate additive has poor high-temperature stability, which is not conducive to the stability of the battery cell in a high-temperature environment. The SEI film contains sulfur elements, which can further improve the thermal stability of the SEI film at high temperatures and further reduce the interfacial impedance on the negative electrode side, which is beneficial to further improving the cycling stability and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0035] In any embodiment, the lithium salt additive includes one or more of lithium difluorophosphate, lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, and lithium bis(oxalato)borate.
[0036] Lithium salt additives can evolve into inorganic components in the SEI film, further improving the rigidity and thermal stability of the SEI film, thereby further enhancing the cycle stability and fast charging performance of the battery. Moreover, the above lithium salt additives can also form a cathode electrolyte interface film (CEI film) on the surface of the cathode active material, thereby further enhancing the cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0037] In any embodiment, the fluorobenzene additives include one or more of fluorobenzene and its derivatives.
[0038] Fluorobenzene additives help to improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the positive and negative active material layers, thereby further improving the cycle stability and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0039] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the carbonate additive is 3% to 8%.
[0040] When the mass percentage of the carbonate additive in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to balance the improvement of the stability of the SEI film and maintain an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, thereby further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0041] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of vinylene carbonate is 2% to 5%.
[0042] Vinylene carbonate VC has a reduction potential close to that of carboxylic ester solvents, which can inhibit the reaction activity of carboxylic ester solvents and improve the cycle life of the battery cell. However, too high a content of vinylene carbonate VC will lead to an increase in the battery interface impedance and charge transfer impedance, which is not conducive to the fast charging performance of the battery cell. When the mass percentage of vinylene carbonate VC is within the above range, the battery can achieve excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0043] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of ethylene carbonate derivatives is 0% to 4%.
[0044] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of ethylene carbonate derivatives is 1.5% to 3.5%.
[0045] Ethylene carbonate derivatives can also form a film on the surface of the negative electrode at a relatively high potential and have a low interface impedance and charge transfer impedance. When the mass percentage of ethylene carbonate derivatives is within the above range, the battery cell can achieve excellent fast charging performance and cycle life. By adding vinylene carbonate VC and ethylene carbonate derivatives in combination in the electrolyte, the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell can be comprehensively improved.
[0046] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the sulfur-containing additive is 0% to 2%.
[0047] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the sulfur-containing additive is 0.5% to 2%.
[0048] When the mass proportion of the sulfur-containing additive in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to balance improving the thermal stability of the SEI film at high temperatures and maintaining an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, and further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0049] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the lithium salt additive is 0% to 1%.
[0050] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the lithium salt additive is 0.2% to 1%.
[0051] When the mass proportion of the lithium salt additive in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to balance enhancing the stability of the SEI film and maintaining an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, and further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0053] When the mass proportion of the fluorobenzene additive in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to balance the wettability of the electrolyte and maintain an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, thereby further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0054] In any embodiment, 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, and the compaction density of the negative active material layer is 1.20 g / cm 3 to 1.50 g / cm 3 .
[0055] The negative active material layer with a compaction density within the above range can further achieve the balance of the energy density, fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0056] In any embodiment, the positive current collector includes a positive current collecting part and a positive electrode tab, and the positive electrode tab is provided at at least one end of the positive current collecting part extending along the length direction of the electrode assembly or at least one side of the positive current collecting part extending along the width direction of the electrode assembly.
[0057] In any embodiment, the negative current collector includes a negative current collecting part and a negative electrode tab, and the negative electrode tab is provided at at least one end of the negative current collecting part extending along the length direction of the electrode assembly or at least one side of the negative current collecting part extending along the width direction of the electrode assembly.
[0058] In any embodiment, the size of the positive electrode active material layer in the length direction of the electrode assembly is 650 mm to 950 mm, and the positive electrode tab is disposed at both ends of the positive electrode current collector extending in the length direction of the electrode assembly or at least one side extending in the width direction of the electrode assembly.
[0059] The above-mentioned tab setting helps to improve the over-current capacity of the battery cell, alleviate the situation of lithium plating caused by electrolyte decomposition and uneven current distribution on the tab side due to excessive temperature on the tab side during fast charging, thereby improving the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell, especially applicable to improving the fast charging performance of battery cells with the length dimension of the positive electrode active material layer in the range of 650 mm to 950 mm, while taking into account excellent volumetric energy density.

[0062] The width of the tab within the above range helps to improve the over-current capacity of the battery cell, and improve the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0063] In any embodiment, along the length direction of the electrode assembly, 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 electrode assembly, 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 , where OH 1 is 1.0 mm to 4.0 mm; and / or, OH 2 is 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm.
[0064] As the charging rate of the battery cell increases, the current density and temperature rise are high in the area near the tab, making it easy for the negative electrode active material layer to generate lithium dendrites near the tab. The battery cell of the embodiment of the present application passes through OH 1 , OH 2The design improves the ability of the negative electrode active material layer, especially the negative electrode active material layer near the tab area, to receive active ions in the length direction, and makes the distance between the positive electrode active material layer and the tab side farther. The current distribution of the active material layer near the tab area is more uniform, resulting in a lower temperature rise. Thus, the lithium deposition problem of the negative electrode plate is comprehensively improved. At the same time, the probability of the separator shrinking due to heat and causing the positive and negative electrodes to overlap and then resulting in an internal short circuit of the battery is reduced. While the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell are improved, the values of OH 1 and OH 2 are controlled within the above range, enabling the battery cell to have excellent energy density.

[0128] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprising" and "including" mentioned in this application mean open-ended or may also be closed-ended. For example, the "comprising" and "including" may mean that other components not listed may also be included or comprised, or may only include or comprise the listed components.
[0129] Unless otherwise specified, in this application, the term "or" is inclusive. For example, the phrase "A or B" means "A, B, or both A and B". More specifically, any of the following conditions satisfies the condition "A or B": A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist); A is false (or does not exist) while B is true (or exists); or both A and B are true (or exist).
[0130] Adopting a stacked electrode assembly with an increased length of a single electrode assembly and a high-compaction-density electrode design helps to improve the energy density of a battery cell. However, the above electrode assembly design makes it difficult for the electrolyte to infiltrate in the length direction of the electrode sheet, resulting in a problem of cyclic voltage drop in the battery cell.
[0131] Based on this, a first aspect of this application provides a battery cell, including an electrode assembly and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a separator, and a negative electrode sheet stacked in sequence. The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer provided on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure. Among them, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer is 2.65 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm 3 , and the size of the positive electrode active material layer in the length direction of the electrode assembly is 300 mm to 950 mm; the viscosity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 2.3 mPa·s to 3.5 mPa·s.
[0132] The lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is an active material with olivine structure including lithium ions and phosphate groups. The types of the positive electrode active materials can be tested by any well-known method in the art. As an example, methods for phase analysis such as X-ray diffraction method (XRD) can be combined with elemental analysis methods such as energy spectrum and XPS for analysis.
[0133] In this application, the tap density of the positive electrode active material layer has the meaning well-known in the art and can be tested by methods known in the art. For example, the battery cell is placed at 25 °C and charged at a constant current charge rate of 0.33C until the cut-off voltage (such as 3.65V), then left standing for 1 min, and charged at a constant voltage of 3.65V until the current is less than 0.05C. At this time, the battery cell is in a fully charged state. Then, the positive electrode plate is disassembled, and the tap density of the positive electrode active material layer is measured. The tap density of the positive electrode active material layer is the single-sided coating mass of the positive electrode active material layer measured after disassembly / the single-sided thickness of the positive electrode active material layer.
[0134] In this application, the "single-sided coating mass of the positive electrode active material layer" refers to the mass of the positive electrode active material layer per unit area on one side of the current collector.
[0135] In this application, the single-sided coating mass of the positive electrode active material layer can be tested by methods known in the art. For example, a positive electrode plate can be taken from the disassembled battery (if it is a positive electrode plate with double-sided coating, the positive electrode active material layer on one side can be wiped off first), punched into small round pieces with an area of S1, weighed, and recorded as M1. Then, the positive electrode active material layer of the above-mentioned weighed positive electrode plate is wiped off, and the mass of the positive electrode current collector is weighed and recorded as M0. The single-sided coating mass of the positive electrode plate = (M1 - M0) / S1.
[0136] The thickness of the positive electrode active material layer has the meaning well-known in the art and can be tested by methods known in the art. For example, it can be tested by a micrometer (such as Mitutoyo 293-100 type with an accuracy of 0.1μm). It can be understood that when the battery cell is in a fully charged state, the tap density of the positive electrode active material layer is different from the designed value of the tap density of the battery cell. Affected by actual operations, when the battery cell is in a fully charged state, the tap density of the positive electrode active material layer is often slightly lower than the designed value of the tap density of the battery cell.
[0137] In some embodiments, the tap density of the positive electrode active material layer can be 2.65 g / cm 3 、2.67 g / cm 3 、2.69 g / cm 3 、2.71 g / cm 3 、2.73 g / cm 3 、2.75 g / cm 3 、2.77 g / cm3 、 2.80 g / cm 3 or the numerical range between any two of them.
[0138] In this application, with reference to Figure 1 , the electrode assembly 12 includes a positive electrode tab 121, a separator 123, and a negative electrode tab 122 that are stacked in sequence. The positive electrode tab 121 includes a positive current collector 1211 and a positive active material layer 1212 disposed on at least one side of the positive current collector 1211. Along the length direction of the electrode assembly 12, the size of the positive active material layer 1212 is OH 11 , and the size can be measured with a ruler.
[0139] In some embodiments, the size of the positive active material layer along the length direction of the electrode assembly is 300 nm, 400 mm, 500 mm, 600 mm, 700 mm, 800 mm, 900 mm, 950 mm or the numerical range between any two of them.
[0140] In this application, "room temperature" refers to 25 ± 3°C.
[0141] In this application, the viscosity of the electrolyte at room temperature has the meaning well-known in the art and can be tested by methods known in the art. For example, the rotational method provided in the national standard GB / T 10247-2008 "Viscosity Measurement Method" can be referred to. Specifically, a certain mass of the electrolyte sample is placed in a sample container and placed in a hydrothermal bath for constant temperature and static settlement for 10 - 20 min. After the sample temperature is the same as the hydrothermal temperature, a rotational viscometer produced by Brookfield Corporation with the instrument model DV-2TLV and a viscosity measurement accuracy of ±1% of the full scale is used for testing. When the 18th rotor rotates continuously at a constant speed of 70 r in the sample, the shear force causes a torque on the spring. The torque is proportional to the viscosity, and the viscosity value is obtained. Five samples of the test sample are tested, and the viscosity is the average value of the five samples. Before the test, the sample cup and the rotor are rinsed with the electrolyte sample and kept at the temperature to be measured. The test equipment meets the following test environmental conditions: 1. Equipment external environment: temperature is 15 - 28°C, humidity is RH < 80%; 2. Equipment internal environment: 2 / 3 of the sample container is immersed in the water bath, the medium is water, and the water is used to keep the sample at a constant temperature, and the hydrothermal temperature is 25 ± 3°C.
[0142] In some embodiments, the viscosity of the electrolyte at room temperature can be 2.3 mPa·s, 2.5 mPa·s, 2.7 mPa·s, 2.9 mPa·s, 3.1 mPa·s, 3.3 mPa·s, 3.5 mPa·s or the numerical range between any two of them.
[0143] Lithium-containing phosphates with an olivine structure have the advantages of low cost and long life. When used with a laminated electrode assembly design in which the dimensions of the positive electrode active material layer along the length direction of the electrode assembly are within the above range and the compaction density is within the above range, it helps to improve the internal space utilization of the battery cell, improve the problem of low energy density of the battery cell when lithium-containing phosphate is used as the positive electrode active material, and at the same time make the internal resistance of the battery cell appropriate, so that the battery cell has both excellent energy density and fast charging performance. However, the above-mentioned electrode assembly design makes the distance for the electrolyte to infiltrate the positive and negative electrode active material layers longer, increases the resistance, and reduces the porosity of the active material layer, making it difficult for the electrolyte to infiltrate the active material layer in the length direction, which in turn leads to the problem of "bridge breaking" in the lithium ion transmission path during the cycle. As the charging rate of the battery cell increases, it is easy to cause serious lithium precipitation at the negative electrode, which in turn leads to cycle diving. The battery cell of the embodiment of the present application helps to improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the positive and negative electrode active material layers by making the viscosity of the electrolyte within the above range, thereby improving the problem of the difficulty of the electrolyte in wetting the active material layer in the length direction, slowing down the lithium precipitation degree of the battery cell under fast charging conditions, while the electrolyte has good conductivity, stability and dissociation rate, so that the battery cell has both excellent cycle stability and fast charging performance. The embodiment of the present application makes the battery cell have excellent energy density, fast charging performance and cycle life through the mutual cooperation between the positive electrode sheet and the electrolyte.
[0144] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer is 2.75 g / cm 3 Up to 2.8g / cm 3 .
[0145] The positive electrode active material layer with a compaction density within the above range enables the battery cell to have excellent cycle stability and fast charging performance, while the energy density is further improved.
[0146] In some embodiments, the size of the positive electrode active material layer along the length direction of the electrode assembly is 400 mm to 650 nm.
[0147] The size of the positive electrode active material layer along the length direction of the electrode assembly is within the above range, and the battery cell has excellent energy density, cycle stability and fast charging performance.
[0148] In some embodiments, the electrolyte includes a first solvent, the viscosity η of the first solvent at room temperature is 0.3 mPa·s to 0.6 mPa·s, and the mass proportion of the first solvent is 8% to 60% based on the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0149] The types and quality of solvents in the electrolyte can be obtained by detecting the electrolyte through methods well-known to those skilled in the art. In the embodiments of the present application, newly prepared electrolyte can be taken as a sample, free electrolyte of a fresh battery can be taken as a sample, or a battery monomer that has been fully discharged (discharged to the discharge cut-off voltage so that the charged state of the battery monomer is approximately 0% SOC) can be disassembled in reverse, and the free electrolyte obtained from the battery monomer is taken as a sample, and ion chromatography analysis method is used for detection. The types and contents of organic components in the electrolyte have meanings well-known in the art, and can be detected by equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, reference can be made to GB / T9722-2023 General Rules for Gas Chromatography of Chemical Reagents to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the organic components of the electrolyte by gas chromatography. The types and contents of inorganic components / lithium salts in the electrolyte have meanings well-known in the art, and can be detected by equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, reference can be made to the standard JY / T020-2002 General Rules for Ion Chromatography Analysis Method to qualitatively or quantitatively analyze the inorganic components / lithium salts of the electrolyte by ion chromatography analysis method.
[0150] The viscosity of the first solvent at room temperature can be tested by a method similar to the viscosity of the electrolyte described above at room temperature.
[0151] In some embodiments, the viscosity η of the first solvent can be 0.3 mPa·s, 0.35 mPa·s, 0.4 mPa·s, 0.45 mPa·s, 0.5 mPa·s, 0.55 mPa·s, 0.6 mPa·s or the numerical range between any two of them.
[0152] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the first solvent can be 8%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60% or the numerical range between any two of them.
[0153] The first solvent with a viscosity η in the above range has both excellent stability and low viscosity. When the mass percentage of the first solvent is in the above range, it helps to reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte, improve the conductivity of the electrolyte, and at the same time take into account the stability of the electrolyte, thereby being beneficial to the further comprehensive improvement of the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery monomer.
[0154] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the first solvent is 30% to 60%.
[0155] When the mass percentage of the first solvent is in the above range, it is beneficial to further reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte, improve the conductivity of the electrolyte. While the battery monomer has excellent cycle stability, the fast charging performance is further improved.
[0156] In some embodiments, the first solvent includes a carboxylate solvent.
[0157] The carboxylate solvent has the advantages of low viscosity and high ionic conductivity, which is beneficial to the infiltration of the electrolyte into the positive and negative active material layers and the rapid insertion and extraction of active ions in the negative active material layer, thereby further improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0158] In some embodiments, the carboxylate solvent has the general structural formula of R , -COO-R ,, wherein R , includes one or more 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 1 ~C 5 alkyl group, C 1 ~C 5 one or more of the halogenated alkyl groups, and R ,, includes C 1 ~C 5 alkyl group, C 1 ~C 5 one or more of the halogenated alkyl groups.
[0159] "C 1 ~C 5 alkyl group" refers to an unbranched or branched alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; including but not limited to one or more of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, 2-pentyl, 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl, 2,2-dimethylpropyl, 1-ethylpropyl.
[0160] "C 1 ~C 5 halogenated alkyl group" refers to an unbranched or branched alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms in which at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen, including but not limited to one or more of a chloroalkyl group, a bromoalkyl group, and an iodoalkyl group.
[0161] "Halogen" refers to the elements in Group VIIA of the periodic table of chemical elements. Specifically, halogens include elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine.
[0162] In some embodiments, the carboxylate solvent includes one or more of methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, methyl butyrate, and ethyl butyrate.
[0163] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes a second solvent, and the second solvent includes a carbonate solvent, and the carbonate solvent includes one or more of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate.
[0164] Carbonate solvents have a high dielectric constant, which can increase the dissociation rate of lithium ions and anions in lithium-containing electrolyte salts, and further improve the fast charging performance of battery cells.
[0165] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the carbonate solvent is 18% to 75%.
[0166] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the carbonate solvent can be 18%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75% or any value range between any two of them.
[0167] Due to the relatively high viscosity of carbonate solvents, as the content of carbonate solvents increases, the viscosity of the electrolyte will also increase, which has a negative impact on the conductivity of the electrolyte. By reasonably controlling the mass percentage of the carbonate solvent within the above range, the electrolyte has an appropriate viscosity and a good dissociation rate, thereby comprehensively improving the conductivity of the electrolyte, which is beneficial to further improving the fast charging performance and cycle stability of battery cells.
[0168] In some embodiments, the electrolyte includes a lithium-containing electrolyte salt. Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the lithium-containing electrolyte salt in the electrolyte is 10% to 18%.
[0169] The type and mass of the lithium-containing electrolyte salt in the electrolyte can be obtained by testing the electrolyte by methods well-known to those skilled in the art. As an example, the testing method for the type and mass of the solvent in the electrolyte described above can be used for testing.
[0170] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the lithium-containing electrolyte salt in the electrolyte is 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18% or any value range between any two of them.
[0171] When the molar concentration of the lithium-containing electrolyte salt in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to balance the wettability and ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, thereby further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of battery cells.
[0172] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing electrolyte salt includes one or more of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 among others.
[0173] LiFSI is prone to dissociation in the electrolyte solvent, and LiFSI has a smaller molecular weight compared to other types of fluorosulfonylimide salts (such as lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide LiTFSI). This is conducive to increasing the conductivity of the electrolyte while reducing its viscosity. Moreover, LiFSI has good thermal stability and is not prone to decomposition during the recycling process, which can reduce the generation of hydrogen fluoride during battery cycling and the probability of side reactions occurring at the negative electrode, thereby further comprehensively improving the cycle stability and fast charging performance of the battery cell. However, as the temperature of the battery cell increases, LiFSI will undergo violent decomposition at a certain temperature threshold, releasing a large amount of heat and sharply increasing the risk of thermal runaway of the battery. This safety risk is more significant in fast charging batteries. The lithium-containing electrolyte salt also includes lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF 6 It is possible to reduce the risk of thermal runaway of the battery cell, keeping the risk within a controllable range, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery cell.
[0174] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide LiFSI in the electrolyte is 4% to 8%.
[0175] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide LiFSI in the electrolyte is 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8% or the numerical range between any two of them.
[0176] When the mass percentage of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide LiFSI is within the above range, the battery cell takes into account excellent fast charging performance, cycle stability and safety performance.
[0177] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes additives, and the additives include one or more of carbonate additives, sulfur-containing additives, lithium salt additives and fluorobenzene additives.
[0178] Additives refer to components with relatively low content in the electrolyte, generally with a mass percentage in the electrolyte not exceeding 10%. They have the characteristics of strong pertinence and small dosage, and can significantly optimize a certain aspect of the battery performance without changing the production process.
[0179] In this application, carbonate additives refer to compounds containing a carbonate group (-O-CO-O-) and their derivatives, as well as mixtures containing the above compounds and their derivatives.
[0180] In this application, fluorobenzene additives refer to organic compounds and their derivatives in which one or more hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring are replaced by fluorine atoms, as well as mixtures containing the above compounds and their derivatives.
[0181] The types of additives in the electrolyte can be obtained by detecting the electrolyte through methods well-known to those skilled in the art. As an example, the testing methods for the types and masses of solvents in the electrolyte described above can be used for testing.
[0182] In some embodiments, the carbonate additives include one or more of vinylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate derivatives. Among them, the ethylene carbonate derivatives include the compounds shown in Formula III. Formula III R 1 、R 2 、R 3 、R 4 each independently includes one or more 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 1 、R 2 、R 3 、R 4 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms. Optionally, the carbonate additives include one or more of vinylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate.
[0183] The carbonate additives can evolve into organic components in the SEI film, improving the toughness of the SEI film, thereby enhancing the stability of the SEI film during the cycling of the battery cell and reducing the interfacial impedance on the negative electrode side, reducing the side reactions between the electrolyte and the negative electrode active material layer and then reducing gas generation, which is beneficial to further improving the cycling, storage life, and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0184] In some embodiments, the sulfur-containing additives include one or more of ethylene sulfate, bis(ethylene sulfate), 1,3-propane sultone, butene sulfite, ethylene sulfite, and methylene methanedisulfonate.
[0185] Sulfur-containing additives often have a relatively high potential. The sulfur-containing additives added to the electrolyte will react preferentially during formation or subsequent cycling and evolve into sulfur-containing inorganic components in the SEI film. The SEI film formed by carbonate additives has poor high-temperature stability, which is not conducive to the stability of the battery cell in a high-temperature environment. The presence of sulfur elements in the SEI film can further improve the thermal stability of the SEI film at high temperatures and further reduce the interfacial impedance on the negative electrode side, which is beneficial to further improving the cycling stability and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0186] In some embodiments, the lithium salt additives include one or more of lithium difluorophosphate, lithium difluorooxalate borate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, and lithium bis(oxalate) borate.
[0187] Lithium salt additives can evolve into inorganic components in the SEI film, further improving the rigidity and thermal stability of the SEI film, thereby further enhancing the cycle stability and fast charging performance of the battery. Moreover, the above lithium salt additives can also form a cathode electrolyte interface film (CEI film) on the surface of the cathode active material, thereby further enhancing the cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0188] In some embodiments, the fluorobenzene additives include one or more of fluorobenzene and its derivatives.
[0189] The fluorobenzene additives help to improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the positive and negative active material layers, thereby further improving the cycle stability and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0190] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the carbonate additive is 3% to 8%.
[0191] Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the additive can be measured by any well-known method in the art. As an example, the measurement method for the mass percentage of the solvent and the lithium-containing electrolyte salt in the electrolyte described above can be used for measurement. It should be understood that since the additives in the electrolyte will be consumed to some extent during formation and cycling, generating the relevant components in the SEI film and / or CEI film, the mass percentage of the additive in the electrolyte may be slightly lower than the initial addition mass percentage of the additive in the electrolyte.
[0192] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the carbonate additive can be 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8% or any value range between any two of them.
[0193] When the mass percentage of the carbonate additive in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to balance the improvement of the stability of the SEI film and the maintenance of the appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, thereby further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0194] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of vinylene carbonate is 2% to 5%.
[0195] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of vinylene carbonate can be 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% or any value range between any two of them.
[0196] Vinylene carbonate (VC) has a reduction potential close to that of carboxylic ester solvents, which can inhibit the reactivity of carboxylic ester solvents and improve the cycle life of battery cells. However, if the content of VC is too high, it will lead to an increase in the interfacial impedance and charge transfer impedance of the battery, which is not conducive to the fast charging performance of battery cells. When the mass ratio of VC is within the above range, the battery can achieve both excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0197] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass ratio of the ethylene carbonate derivative is 0% to 4%.
[0198] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass ratio of the ethylene carbonate derivative is 1.5% to 3.5%.
[0199] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass ratio of the ethylene carbonate derivative can be 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% or any value range between any two of them.
[0200] It should be noted that as the battery cell is charged and discharged, when the addition amount of the ethylene carbonate derivative is small, after disassembling the battery cell to obtain the electrolyte and testing the content of the ethylene carbonate derivative by gas chromatography, the content may be 0%. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the ethylene carbonate derivative added to the electrolyte is completely converted into the organic components in the SEI film during the formation process. In some embodiments, there is still ethylene carbonate derivative remaining in the electrolyte, which forms a reinforcing effect on the SEI film during the subsequent cycle process of the battery cell.
[0201] The ethylene carbonate derivative can also form a film on the surface of the negative electrode at a relatively high potential and has a low interfacial impedance and charge transfer impedance. When the mass ratio of the ethylene carbonate derivative is within the above range, the battery cell can achieve both excellent fast charging performance and cycle life. By adding VC and the ethylene carbonate derivative in combination in the electrolyte, the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell can be comprehensively improved.
[0202] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass ratio of the sulfur-containing additive is 0% to 2%.
[0203] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass ratio of the sulfur-containing additive is 0.5% to 2%.
[0204] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass ratio of the sulfur-containing additive can be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% or any value range between any two of them.
[0205] It should be noted that during the formation and charge-discharge cycling process, the additives in the electrolyte will be consumed to some extent to form the relevant components in the SEI film and / or CEI film. When the electrolyte is obtained by disassembling the battery cell and the contents of the sulfur-containing additives and lithium salt additives are tested by gas chromatography, the content may be 0%.
[0206] Specifically, taking the case where the mass content of the sulfur-containing additive is 0% as an example, it may be that the freshly prepared electrolyte does not contain the sulfur-containing additive, or the electrolyte obtained after disassembling the battery cell does not contain the sulfur-containing additive. This situation may be that the freshly prepared electrolyte does not contain the sulfur-containing additive, or a small amount of the sulfur-containing additive is added, but it participates in the film-forming reaction of the SEI film during the formation process of the battery cell, resulting in a mass content of 0% of the sulfur-containing additive during the detection process. Optionally, the freshly prepared electrolyte includes the sulfur-containing additive.
[0207] Furthermore, for adding certain substances, such as additives, to the electrolyte, due to the characteristic that the additives participate in the film formation on the surface of the active material and play a role, the content of the additives in the electrolyte of the battery cell is related to the formation, different battery life cycles, or different battery storage states. Therefore, there may be a difference in the content of the 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 the relevant substances in the corresponding freshly prepared electrolyte according to 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) electrolyte according to the content of the freshly prepared additives, the performance requirements of the battery cell, the storage environment, etc.
[0208] Therefore, the content of the additives mentioned in the technical solution of this application can be the content of the additives actively added to the freshly prepared electrolyte, or the content of the residual additives detected by reverse according to the actual battery state.
[0209] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the sulfur-containing additives added to the electrolyte are completely converted into the sulfur-containing components in the SEI film during the formation process, and the amount of the sulfur-containing additives added to the electrolyte can be inferred by testing the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the negative electrode material. In some embodiments, there are still sulfur-containing additives remaining in the electrolyte, which play a role in strengthening the SEI film during the subsequent cycling process of the battery cell.
[0210] In this application, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the negative electrode material can be tested by any well-known method in the art. As an example, after disassembling the battery cell, the negative electrode sheet is cleaned with a solvent such as dimethyl carbonate (DMC) more than three times, and then powder is scraped for sampling. The obtained powder sample of the negative electrode material is adhered to a conductive substrate, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is performed using an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (such as AXIS ULTRA). The scanning rate and time of the X-ray source are adjusted to focus and detect elements and functional groups at a depth of 5 nm to 10 nm from the surface of the negative electrode material, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectrum of the sample is obtained. The elemental characteristic peaks are analyzed in the spectrum.
[0211] When the mass percentage of the sulfur-containing additive in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to balance the improvement of the thermal stability of the SEI film at high temperatures and maintain an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0212] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the lithium salt additive is 0% to 1%.
[0213] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the lithium salt additive is 0.2% to 1%.
[0214] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the lithium salt additive is 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1% or any numerical range between any two of them.
[0215] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the lithium salt additive added to the electrolyte is completely converted into inorganic components in the SEI film and / or CEI film during the formation process. In some embodiments, there is still a residue of the lithium salt additive in the electrolyte, which forms a reinforcing effect on the SEI film and / or CEI film during the subsequent cycling process of the battery cell.
[0216] When the mass percentage of the lithium salt additive in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to balance the improvement of the stability of the SEI film and maintain an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0217] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the fluorobenzene additive is 0.1% to 1%.
[0218] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the fluorobenzene additive is 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1% or any numerical range between any two of them.
[0219] When the mass percentage of the fluorobenzene additive in the electrolyte is within the above range, it is beneficial to balance the wettability of the electrolyte and maintain an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, thereby further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0228] The above tab design helps to improve the overcurrent capacity of the battery cell, relieve the situation of excessive temperature on the tab side during fast charging, which causes electrolyte decomposition and uneven current distribution, resulting in lithium plating on the tab side, thereby improving the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell. It is especially suitable for improving the fast charging performance of battery cells with the length dimension of the positive active material layer in the range of 650 mm to 950 mm, while taking into account excellent volumetric energy density.

[0242] In some embodiments, the ratio of the width of the positive electrode tab to the width of the positive current collector portion or the ratio of the width of the negative electrode tab to the width of the negative current collector portion can be 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, 0.55, 0.65, 0.75, 0.85, 0.95, 1 or the numerical range between any two of them.
[0243] When the width of the tab is within the above range, it helps to improve the overcurrent capacity of the battery cell, and improve the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0244] In some embodiments, along the length direction of the electrode assembly, 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 electrode assembly, 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 , where OH 1 is 1.0 mm to 4.0 mm; and / or, OH2 is from 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm.
[0245] In this application, with reference to Figure 1 , along the length direction of the electrode assembly 12, 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 , the difference in size between the negative electrode active material layer 1222 and the positive electrode active material layer 1212 is OH 1 =OH 21 -OH 11 ; with reference to Figure 2 , along the width direction of the electrode assembly, the size of the positive electrode active material layer 1212 is OH 12 , the size of the negative electrode active material layer 1222 is OH 22 , the difference in size between the negative electrode active material layer 1222 and the positive electrode active material layer 1212 is OH 1 =OH 22 -OH 12 , and the size can be measured with a ruler.

[0248] As the charging rate of the battery cell increases, the current density in the area near the tab is high and the temperature rise is large, making it easy for the negative electrode active material layer to generate lithium dendrites near the tab. The battery cell of the embodiment of this application passes through OH 1 , OH 2The design improves the ability of the negative electrode active material layer, especially the negative electrode active material layer in the region near the tab, to receive active ions in the length direction, and makes the distance between the positive electrode active material layer and the tab side farther. The current distribution of the active material layer in the region near the tab is more uniform, resulting in a lower temperature rise. Thus, the lithium deposition problem of the negative electrode plate is comprehensively improved. At the same time, the probability of the separator shrinking due to heat and causing the positive and negative electrodes to overlap and then an internal short circuit in the battery is reduced. While the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell are improved, the values of OH 1 and OH 2 are controlled within the above range, enabling the battery cell to have excellent energy density.

[0260] The phase structure in the coating layer can be characterized by any well-known method in the art. For example, by characterizing the positive electrode active material through a transmission electron microscope, it can be seen that there are different phase structures in the coating layer and the matrix of the positive electrode active material. Combining the diffraction pattern and energy spectrum analysis can judge the components of the coating layer.

[0273] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 10 μm to 15 μm.
[0274] The material of the positive electrode current collector and / or the negative electrode current collector is not particularly limited as long as it does not cause chemical changes in the battery cell and has electrical conductivity. The current collector includes metal foils with a pure metal content of more than 95%, such as at least one of copper foil, aluminum foil, stainless steel foil, titanium foil, and nickel foil, and also includes alloy foils of at least two main metals.

[0292] In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the composite graphite particles is 9.5 μm to 14.5 μm.
[0293] "Volume average particle size Dv50" has a well-known meaning in the art, which respectively represents the particle size corresponding to when the cumulative volume distribution percentage of the material reaches 50%, and can be measured by instruments and methods known in the art.

[0317] The thickness of the base film within the above range is beneficial to further balance the energy density, fast charging performance, and cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0318] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 12 , the battery cell 1 includes a housing 11 and a cover assembly. The cover assembly is disposed at at least one end of the housing 11. The housing 11 and the cover assembly define a receiving cavity. The electrode assembly is disposed within the receiving cavity.

The first cover assembly and the second cover assembly are disposed at two ends in the length direction or the width direction of the housing. The first cover assembly includes a first cover and a first electrode terminal. The second cover assembly includes a second cover and a second electrode terminal.

The polarities of the second electrode terminal 132 and the fourth electrode terminal 134 are opposite.
[0323] Thereby, during charging, the temperature rise of the battery cell and the impedance of the battery cell are reduced, which is beneficial to the improvement of the fast charging performance, cycle life, and safety performance of the battery cell.
[0324] In some embodiments, the minimum cross-sectional area of the first electrode terminal and / or the second electrode terminal is S, and it satisfies 150 mm 2 ≤ S ≤ 1000 mm 2 .

[0326] In this application, when testing the minimum cross-sectional area of the first electrode terminal and / or the second electrode terminal, it can be calculated according to the shape of the minimum cross-section and its area calculation formula. For example, if the minimum cross-section of the electrode terminal is circular, the minimum cross-sectional area can be obtained by measuring the radius of the circle. If the minimum cross-section is square, the minimum cross-sectional area can be obtained by measuring the length and width of the square.
[0327] In some embodiments, the minimum cross-sectional area S of the first electrode terminal and / or the second electrode terminal can be 150 mm 2 , 300 mm 2 , 450 mm 2 , 600 mm 2 , 750 mm 2 , 900 mm 2 , 1000 mm 2 etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values.
[0328] When the minimum cross-sectional area of the first electrode terminal and / or the second electrode terminal is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the over-current capacity of the battery cell, reduce the heat generation of the electrode terminal, reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, and thus improve the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell.

[0331] The volumetric energy density of the battery cell can be tested by any well-known method in the art. As an example, the battery cell is placed at 25 °C and charged at a constant current of 0.33C to 3.65V, then charged at a constant voltage to 0.05C, and left standing for 30 min; discharged at a constant current of 0.33C to 2.0V, and the discharge capacity A0 at this time is recorded, unit: Ah. Use a caliper to measure the length, width, and height of the battery cell (generally calculated based on the outer shell size of the battery, excluding the height of the electrode terminals and the insulating film outside the shell), and calculate the volume V0 of the single battery cell, unit: L. The volumetric energy density VED of the battery cell = (A0 × discharge platform voltage) / V0, unit: Wh / L.

Place the aforementioned positive electrode plate, negative electrode plate, separator, and mechanical parts in an oven at 100 °C for more than 24 h until completely dried. Weigh the dried positive electrode plate, negative electrode plate, separator, and mechanical parts, and record the mass as M1. Thus, the mass of the electrolyte in the battery cell is (M0 - M1). The liquid injection coefficient is calculated by (M0 - M1) / the rated capacity of the battery cell. The rated capacity is the nominal capacity of the battery, or charge at a charging rate of 0.33C to 3.65V, then charge at a constant voltage of 3.65V to 0.05C, leave standing for 10 min, and then discharge at a discharge rate of 0.33C to 2.0V, and use the discharge capacity of the battery cell as the rated capacity.
