[0002] This application relates to a battery cell, a battery device and an electrical device. Background Art

[0003] Lithium-ion batteries have characteristics such as high capacity and long life, and thus are widely used in electronic devices, such as mobile phones, laptop computers, battery cars, electric vehicles, electric airplanes, electric ships, and power tools, etc. With the development of the application fields of lithium-ion batteries, higher requirements are put forward for the performance of lithium-ion batteries, such as fast charging performance, cycling performance, etc. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a battery cell, a battery device and an electrical device, which can reduce the heat generation of the battery cell and improve the fast charging performance and cycling performance of the battery cell.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application proposes a battery cell. The battery cell includes an electrode assembly, an electrolyte and a housing. The electrode assembly and the electrolyte are accommodated in the housing. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate and a separator. The positive electrode plate includes a positive current collector and a positive electrode film layer provided on at least one side of the positive current collector. The positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material capable of providing lithium. The positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure. The resistance of the positive electrode plate is 0.1 Ω to 30 Ω. The negative electrode plate includes a negative current collector and a negative electrode film layer provided on at least one side of the negative current collector. The negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material capable of receiving lithium. The resistance of the negative electrode plate is 0.001 Ω to 0.01 Ω. The separator is located between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The electrolyte includes an organic solvent. The organic solvent includes a chain ester solvent. The mass content of the chain carboxylic ester solvent in the organic solvent is 5% to 75%. The conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm.

[0006] Accordingly, in the embodiments of the present application, the positive electrode active material includes lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure. This material system has relatively high cycle stability. Further, by synergistically controlling the resistance of the positive electrode sheet, the resistance of the negative electrode sheet, and the conductivity of the electrolyte within a reasonable range, on the one hand, it can reduce the transmission resistance of lithium ions inside the battery cell, improve the fast charging ability of the battery cell, and reduce the internal resistance DCR of the battery cell. On the other hand, it can improve the cycle attenuation caused by excessive temperature rise during the fast charging process of the battery cell. On the further hand, it can also improve the problem of uneven temperature rise during the fast charging process of the battery cell and reduce the cycle attenuation problem caused by lithium precipitation in the battery cell. Moreover, the mass content of the chain carboxylic ester solvent in the organic solvent is greater than or equal to 5% and less than or equal to 75%. When the mass content of the chain carboxylic ester solvent is within the above range, the viscosity of the electrolyte system is relatively small, which is beneficial to the migration of lithium ions.

[0007] In addition, by controlling the resistance of the positive and negative electrode sheets within a reasonable range, the internal temperature of the battery cell can be controlled within the reasonable range tolerated by the high-conductivity electrolyte, which can reduce the risk of weakening the fast charging performance of the battery due to the volatilization of the solvent components of the electrolyte.

[0008] In some embodiments, the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 15 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm. When the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is within the above range, the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte is relatively high, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby reducing heat generation and improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0009] In some embodiments, the resistance of the positive electrode sheet is 0.1 Ω to 5 Ω. When the resistance of the positive electrode sheet is within the above range, the resistance of the positive electrode sheet is relatively small, which is beneficial to reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell.

[0010] In some embodiments, the resistance of the positive electrode sheet is 0.1 Ω to 1 Ω. When the resistance of the positive electrode sheet is within the above range, the resistance of the positive electrode sheet is relatively small, which is beneficial to reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell.

[0011] In some embodiments, the resistance of the negative electrode sheet is 0.001 Ω to 0.005 Ω. When the resistance of the negative electrode sheet is within the above range, the resistance of the negative electrode sheet is relatively small, which is beneficial to reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell.

[0012] In some embodiments, the viscosity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 2.3 mPa·s to 3.5 mPa·s. When the viscosity of the electrolyte is within the above range, the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte is relatively high, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby reducing heat generation and improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0013] In some embodiments, the density of the electrolyte at room temperature is 1.05 g / mL to 1.35 g / mL. When the density of the electrolyte is within the above range, the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte is relatively high, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby reducing heat generation and improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0014] In some embodiments, when the battery cell is in a 100% charged state, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is 2.50 g / cm 3 to 2.80 g / cm 3 , optionally 2.55 g / cm 3 to 2.70 g / cm 3 . When the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell. Moreover, since the positive electrode active materials in the positive electrode film layer are stacked relatively tightly and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.

[0015] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . When the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the positive electrode sheet will not be too large, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved while taking it into account.

[0016] In some embodiments, when the battery cell is in a 100% charged state, the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is 1.15 g / cm 3 to 1.36 g / cm 3 , optionally 1.25 g / cm 3 to 1.36 g / cm 3 . When the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell. Moreover, since the negative electrode active materials in the negative electrode film layer are stacked relatively tightly and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.

[0017] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is 90 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 170 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , optionally 110 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 150 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . When the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the negative electrode sheet will not be too large, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved while taking it into account.

[0018] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material is from 1 Ω·cm to 27.5 Ω·cm. The relatively low powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material results in a relatively low resistance of the positive electrode sheet, and less heat generation in the battery cell.

[0019] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is 2.46 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm 3 . When the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and since the positive electrode active materials in the positive electrode film layer can be packed more tightly, the contact resistance between particles is small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation.

[0020] In some embodiments, the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1 C is from 150 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g. When the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1 C is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.

[0021] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material is from 0.005 Ω·cm to 0.043 Ω·cm. The relatively low powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material results in a relatively low resistance of the negative electrode sheet, and less heat generation in the battery cell.

[0022] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the negative electrode active material under 20000 N is 1.5 g / cm 3 to 1.85 g / cm 3 . When the powder compaction density of the negative electrode active material under 20000 N is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and since the negative electrode active materials in the negative electrode film layer can be packed more tightly, the contact resistance between particles is small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation.

[0023] In some embodiments, the charging specific capacity of the negative electrode active material at a rate of 0.1 C is greater than or equal to 350 mAh / g. When the charging specific capacity of the negative electrode active material at a rate of 0.1 C is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.

[0024] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate in olivine structure includes phosphate particles and a coating layer. The coating layer coats the phosphate particles, and the coating layer contains one or more elements of C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn. By coating the surface of the phosphate particles with the coating layer, the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate in olivine structure can be improved, the powder resistivity of the material can be reduced, and it is beneficial to the migration rate of lithium ions, reducing the heat generation amount of the battery cell.

[0025] In some embodiments, the phosphate particles comprise a compound of the general formula Li x1 A y1 Me a M b P 1-c X c Y z where 0.5 ≤ x 1 ≤ 1.3, 0 ≤ y 1 ≤ 1.3, and 0.9 ≤ x 1 + y 1 ≤ 1.3, 0.9 ≤ a ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ b ≤ 0.5, and 0.9 ≤ a + b ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.5, 3 ≤ z ≤ 5, A comprises one or more of Na, K, Mg, Me comprises one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, M comprises one or more of B, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, Ba, Ta, W, Yb, La, Ce, X comprises one or more of S, Si, Cl, B, C, N, and Y comprises one or more of O, F. The phosphate particles have excellent cycle stability, which is beneficial to improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.

[0026] In some embodiments, the coating layer comprises a fast ion conductor of the general formula Li 3-d Fe 2-d M2 d (PO x2 ) y2 where M2 comprises one or more elements of Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn, 0 ≤ d ≤ 1, 0 < x 2 < 5, 0 < y 2 < 4. Coating the phosphate particles with the fast ion conductor can significantly increase the transport rate of lithium ions during multiple deintercalation / insertion of lithium at the positive electrode, improve the ionic conductivity of the positive electrode active material, and thus increase the specific capacity. Further, the energy density of the corresponding battery cell is increased.

[0027] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is from 0.15 to 0.32, and may be selected from 0.19 to 0.26. When the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the positive electrode active material and reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode sheet, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.

[0028] In some embodiments, the mass content of carbon element in the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is 1% to 2%, and the specific surface area of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is 5 m 2 / g to 18 m 2 / g, and may be 7.5 m2 / g to 14 m 2 / g.

[0029] Thus, in the embodiments of the present application, the carbon element with the above mass content in combination with the material with the above specific surface area is more conducive to the effective contact between the electrolyte and the lithium-containing phosphate in the olivine structure, and is conducive to the transport of lithium ions at the phase interface.

[0030] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate in the olivine structure is granular, and its volume distribution particle size satisfies: 1 µm ≤ Dv50 ≤ 2 µm, 0.4 µm ≤ Dv10 ≤ 0.7 µm. The particle size of the lithium-containing phosphate in the olivine structure is relatively small, the lithium deintercalation / insertion path of lithium ions in the positive electrode active material is short, the heat generation is less, and the particle size of the above positive electrode active material is not too small, and basically no agglomeration occurs during the processing and preparation process, so that the performance of the positive electrode active material is stable.

[0031] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate in the olivine structure is granular, the lithium-containing phosphate in the olivine structure includes secondary particles, the secondary particles include a plurality of primary particles, and the average particle size of the primary particles is 200 nm to 500 nm. The average particle size of the primary particles is relatively small, the lithium deintercalation / insertion path of lithium ions in the positive electrode active material is short, and the heat generation is less.

[0032] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer further includes one or more of ternary materials, lithium phosphate, lithium hydrogen phosphate, lithium sulfate, lithium sulfite, lithium molybdate, lithium oxalate, lithium titanate, lithium tetraborate, lithium metasilicate, lithium manganate, lithium tartrate, trilithium citrate, lithium nickelate, and lithium ferrate. The above materials can supplement lithium ions to the positive electrode film layer, make up for the irreversible loss of lithium ions in the system, and improve the capacity, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell.

[0033] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 10 µm to 15 µm. When the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is within the above range, the current-carrying capacity of the positive electrode current collector is relatively excellent, and the battery cell can have a relatively high energy density.

[0034] In some embodiments, the positive electrode plate further includes a positive electrode conductive layer, and the positive electrode conductive layer is located between the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode conductive layer can further improve the conductivity of the positive electrode plate, reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode plate, and thus reduce the heat generation of the battery cell.

[0035] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is 0.5 µm to 2 µm. When the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is within the above range, it can further improve the conductivity of the positive electrode plate, reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode plate, and thus reduce the heat generation of the battery cell, and can also take into account the improvement of the energy density of the battery cell.

[0036] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive layer includes one or more of a positive electrode conductive agent and a positive electrode binder. The positive electrode conductive agent in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the conductivity of the positive electrode conductive layer, thereby improving the conductivity of the positive electrode sheet, reducing the heat generation of the battery cell, and the positive electrode binder in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the adhesion performance between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode film layer, and improve the structural stability of the positive electrode sheet.

[0037] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive agent includes one or more of superconducting carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

[0038] In some embodiments, the positive electrode binder includes one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, polyacrylic acid, and fluorinated acrylate resins.

[0039] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes a carbon-based material, the carbon-based material includes graphite particles, and the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is 92.0% to 94.5%. When the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is within the above range, the conductive performance of the graphite particles is relatively excellent, which can reduce the heat generation of the negative electrode sheet and the battery cell, and can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0040] In some embodiments, the graphite particles include artificial graphite and a carbon coating layer, the artificial graphite includes secondary particles, and the carbon coating layer covers the surface of the artificial graphite. The carbon coating layer has more end faces and defects, so that the number of sites capable of intercalating and deintercalating lithium ions is more, and the conductivity of the carbon coating layer is relatively excellent, which can reduce the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet and the heat generation of the battery cell.

[0041] In some embodiments, based on the mass of the graphite particles, the mass content of the carbon coating layer is 2% to 5%. When the mass content of the carbon coating layer is within the above range, the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet can be further reduced, and the heat generation of the battery cell can be reduced.

[0042] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a first negative electrode film layer and a second negative electrode film layer. The first negative electrode film layer is disposed on the surface of the negative electrode current collector, the first negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material, the second negative electrode film layer is connected to the side of the first negative electrode film layer facing away from the negative electrode current collector, the second negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material, the carbon-based materials in the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer each independently include graphite particles, and the volume average particle diameter Dv50 of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is greater than or equal to the volume average particle diameter Dv50 of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer.

[0043] Therefore, there are differences in the particle sizes of the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer in the embodiments of the present application, which can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell. Specifically, during fast charging, the overpotential of the second negative electrode film layer is usually relatively high, and the bottleneck of fast charging mainly lies in the second negative electrode film layer. In the embodiments of the present application, the particle size in the second negative electrode film layer is relatively small, which can shorten the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions, improve the fast charging performance, and can also improve the problem of lithium plating on the surface layer of the negative electrode sheet.

[0044] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer further includes natural graphite.

[0045] In some embodiments, the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer. When the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is greater than the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer, the filling of the second negative electrode film layer is more dense, which improves the energy density of the battery cell. The filling of the first negative electrode film layer is relatively sparse and has more pores, which can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0046] In some embodiments, the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is 0.82 g / cm 3 to 1.21 g / cm 3 . When the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is within a suitable range, the fast charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.

[0047] In some embodiments, the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is 0.90 g / cm 3 to 1.25 g / cm 3 . When the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is within a suitable range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved. In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is 9.5 μm to 18.5 μm. When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the fast charging performance can be improved.

[0048] In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer is 7.8 μm to 14.3 μm. When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the tortuosity of lithium ion transmission can be reduced, and the fast charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first negative electrode film layer further includes a first lithium-containing binder, and the second negative electrode film layer further includes a second lithium-containing binder. The mass content of the first lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the mass content of the second lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the second negative electrode film layer.

[0050] Thus, in the embodiments of the present application, the mass content of the second lithium-containing binder in the second negative electrode film layer is relatively high, and the number of free-moving lithium ions provided by the second lithium-containing binder for the second negative electrode film layer is relatively more, which can further improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0051] In some embodiments, the mass content of the first lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the first negative electrode film layer is 0.1% to 1%. When the mass content of the first lithium-containing binder is within the above range, the insertion and extraction rate of lithium ions can be improved, and the fast charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mass content of lithium element in the first lithium-containing binder is 3% to 10%, and can be optionally 3% to 8%. When the mass content of lithium element is within the above range, the number of free-moving lithium ions in the negative electrode film layer can be relatively large, which can further shorten the distance for lithium ions to diffuse to the surface of the negative electrode film layer, improve the insertion and extraction rate of lithium ions, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0053] In some embodiments, the mass content of the second lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the second negative electrode film layer is 0.1% to 1%.

[0054] In some embodiments, the mass content of lithium element in the second lithium-containing binder is 3% to 10%, and can be optionally 3% to 8%. When the mass content of lithium element is within the above range, the number of free-moving lithium ions in the negative electrode film layer can be relatively large, which can further shorten the distance for lithium ions to diffuse to the surface of the negative electrode film layer, improve the insertion and extraction rate of lithium ions, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first lithium-containing binder includes a lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer, and the lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer is derived from a lithium acrylate monomer, an acrylonitrile monomer, an acrylamide monomer, and a 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer. The molar ratio of the lithium acrylate monomer, the acrylonitrile monomer, the acrylamide monomer, and the 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer is 30% to 50%: 15% to 45%: 5% to 20%: 20% to 35%.

[0056] Thus, the lithium-containing binder of the above material can provide a certain amount of lithium ions for the negative electrode film layer, improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell. Moreover, it is not prone to swelling during the charge and discharge process, with a stable structure, enabling the negative electrode film layer to have improved cycling performance during fast charging and discharging.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second lithium-containing binder includes a lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer, which is derived from lithium acrylate monomer, acrylonitrile monomer, acrylamide monomer, and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer. The molar ratio of the lithium acrylate monomer, acrylonitrile monomer, acrylamide monomer, and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer is 30% to 50%: 15% to 45%: 5% to 20%: 20% to 35%.

[0058] Thus, the lithium-containing binder of the above material can provide a certain amount of lithium ions for the negative electrode film layer, improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell. Moreover, it is not prone to swelling during the charge and discharge process, with a stable structure, enabling the negative electrode film layer to have improved cycling performance during fast charging and discharging.

[0059] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material further includes a silicon-based material, and the mass content of silicon element in the silicon-based material is 0.3% to 10.0% based on the mass of the negative electrode active material. The introduction of the silicon-based material can increase the capacity of the negative electrode active material and improve the energy density of the battery cell.

[0060] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is 4 μm to 6 μm. When the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is within the above range, the current-carrying capacity of the negative electrode current collector is relatively excellent, and it can enable the battery cell to have a high energy density.

[0063] In some embodiments, the negative electrode conductive layer includes one or more of a negative electrode conductive agent and a negative electrode binder. The negative electrode conductive agent in the negative electrode conductive layer can improve the conductivity of the negative electrode conductive layer, thereby improving the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet and reducing the heat generation amount of the battery cell. The negative electrode binder in the negative electrode conductive layer can improve the bonding performance between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode film layer and enhance the structural stability of the negative electrode sheet.

[0104] The "ranges" disclosed in this application are defined in the form of a lower limit and an upper limit. A given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, and the selected lower limit and upper limit define the boundaries of a particular range.

For example, if the method includes steps (a) and (b), it means that the method can include steps (a) and (b) carried out sequentially, or can also include steps (b) and (a) carried out sequentially. For example, if it is mentioned that the method may further include step (c), it means that step (c) can be added to the method in any order. For example, the method can include steps (a), (b), and (c), or can also include steps (a), (c), and (b), or can also include steps (c), (a), and (b), etc.

[0108] During the charge and discharge process of a battery cell, a thermal effect will occur. Specifically, during the charging process, the external power supply provides electrical energy to the battery cell, and a series of chemical reactions are triggered inside the battery, generating heat energy, which causes the temperature of the battery cell to rise during the charging process. During the discharging process, the battery cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy and simultaneously generates heat energy, which causes the temperature of the battery cell to rise during the discharging process. The increase in the temperature of the battery cell reduces the reliability of the battery cell during use, and even triggers thermal runaway, and deteriorates the cycle performance. And these problems are particularly significant in the batteries of fast charging systems.

[0109] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application reasonably design the system of the battery cell, reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, and reduce the heat generation of the battery cell. Specifically, by reasonably configuring the characteristics of the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet, and electrolyte that affect the internal resistance of the battery, the internal resistance of the battery cell can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation, and the use reliability and cycle performance of the battery cell can be improved.

[0110] Battery cell In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell.

[0111] The battery cell includes an electrode assembly, an electrolyte, and a housing. The electrode assembly and the electrolyte are accommodated in the housing. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator. The positive electrode sheet includes a positive current collector and a positive electrode film layer provided on at least one side of the positive current collector. The positive electrode film layer includes a positive active material. The positive active material includes a lithium phosphate with an olivine structure. The resistance of the positive electrode sheet is 0.1 Ω to 30 Ω. The negative electrode sheet includes a negative current collector and a negative electrode film layer provided on at least one side of the negative current collector. The negative electrode film layer includes a negative active material. The resistance of the negative electrode sheet is 0.001 Ω to 0.01 Ω. The separator is located between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The electrolyte includes an organic solvent. The organic solvent includes a chain carboxylic ester solvent. The conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, the positive active material includes a lithium phosphate with an olivine structure, and the cycle stability of this material system is relatively high. Further, by synergistically controlling the resistance of the positive electrode sheet, the resistance of the negative electrode sheet, and the conductivity of the electrolyte within a reasonable range, on the one hand, the transmission resistance of lithium ions inside the battery cell can be reduced, the fast charging ability of the battery can be improved, and the internal resistance DCR of the battery can be reduced. On the other hand, the cycle attenuation caused by excessive temperature rise during the fast charging process of the battery cell can be improved. On the other hand, the problem of uneven temperature rise during the fast charging process of the battery can also be improved, and the cycle attenuation problem caused by lithium plating of the battery cell can be reduced. In addition, by controlling the resistance of the positive and negative electrode sheets within a reasonable range, the internal temperature of the battery cell can be controlled within the reasonable range tolerated by the high-conductivity electrolyte, and the risk of weakening the fast charging performance of the battery due to the volatilization of the solvent components of the electrolyte can be reduced.

[0113] In summary, the battery cell of the embodiment of the present application has the advantages of fast charging, low DCR, and good cycle performance.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, the resistance of the positive electrode sheet can be adjusted by adjusting the material of the positive active material, such as adjusting the graphitization degree, powder resistivity, etc. of the positive active material.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, the resistance of the negative electrode sheet can be adjusted by adjusting the material of the negative electrode active material. For example, the graphitization degree, powder resistivity, etc. of the negative electrode active material can be adjusted.

[0116] In the embodiments of the present application, the conductivity of the electrolyte can be adjusted by adjusting the mass content of the chain carboxylic ester solvent in the organic solvent in the electrolyte.

[0117] The upper charge limit voltage and the lower discharge cut-off voltage of the battery cell are different according to the different positive electrode active materials. For example, when the phosphate material includes lithium iron phosphate, the upper charge limit voltage can be 3.65 V and the lower discharge cut-off voltage can be 2.0 V. Also, for example, when the phosphate material includes lithium manganese iron phosphate, the upper charge limit voltage can be 4.3 V and the lower discharge cut-off voltage can be 2.0 V. Next, taking the upper charge limit voltage of 3.65 V and the lower discharge cut-off voltage of 2.0 V as an example, the state of the battery cell will be described: In the embodiments of the present application, the 100% state of charge (SOC) and 0% SOC of the battery cell are defined as follows. Charge the battery cell at a constant current charge rate of 0.33 C to the upper charge limit voltage, and then charge at a constant voltage until 0.05 C, corresponding to the state of 100% SOC of the battery cell. Discharge the battery cell at a constant current discharge rate of 0.33 C to the cut-off voltage, corresponding to the state of 0% SOC of the battery cell.

[0118] In the embodiments of the present application, the sheet resistance refers to the ability of current to flow through the sheet (the overcurrent area is the cross-section along the thickness direction of the current collector and the film layers containing electrode materials on both sides of the current collector). The following equipment and methods can be used for detection: As an example, after discharging the battery to 0% SOC, disassemble the sheet. Clean the sheet more than three times with a solvent such as dimethyl carbonate (DMC). Twenty parallel samples can be taken along the central axis of the sheet. Each sample is symmetric about the central axis, and the size of each sample is 4 cm × 25 cm. Among them, the central axis can be parallel to the length direction of the sheet. Use a film resistance tester (Yueneng Technology, model BER2500) to test the above 20 parallel samples, and after calculating the average value, it is used as the sheet resistance of this sheet.

[0119] [Positive electrode sheet] The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer provided on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector and including a positive electrode active material. For example, the positive electrode current collector has two opposite surfaces in its own thickness direction, and the positive electrode film layer is provided on any one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.

[0120] In the embodiments of the present application, the resistance of the positive electrode plate is from 0.1 Ω to 30 Ω, optionally from 0.1 Ω to 5 Ω, and further optionally from 0.1 Ω to 1 Ω. Exemplarily, the resistance of the positive electrode plate is 0.1 Ω, 0.5 Ω, 1 Ω, 1.5 Ω, 2 Ω, 2.5 Ω, 3 Ω, 3.5 Ω, 4 Ω, 4.5 Ω, 5 Ω, 5.5 Ω, 6 Ω, 6.5 Ω, 7 Ω, 7.5 Ω, 8 Ω, 8.5 Ω, 9 Ω, 9.5 Ω, 10 Ω, 10.5 Ω, 11 Ω, 11.5 Ω, 12 Ω, 12.5 Ω, 13 Ω, 13.5 Ω, 14 Ω, 14.5 Ω, 15 Ω, 15.5 Ω, 16 Ω, 16.5 Ω, 17 Ω, 17.5 Ω, 18 Ω, 18.5 Ω, 19 Ω, 20 Ω, 21 Ω, 22 Ω, 23 Ω, 24 Ω, 25 Ω, 26 Ω, 27 Ω, 28 Ω, 29 Ω, 30 Ω or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0121] When the resistance of the positive electrode plate is within the above range, the resistance of the positive electrode plate is more adaptable to the resistance of the negative electrode plate of the battery cell and the electrolyte system, which is beneficial to reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell and optimizing the electrical performance of the battery cell.

[0122] In some embodiments, when the battery cell is at 100% state of charge (SOC), the tap density of the positive electrode film layer is 2.50 g / cm 3 to 2.80 g / cm 3 , optionally 2.55 g / cm 3 to 2.70 g / cm 3 . Exemplarily, when the battery cell is at 100% state of charge (SOC), the tap density of the positive electrode film layer is 2.50 g / cm 3 , 2.52 g / cm 3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.56 g / cm 3 , 2.57 g / cm 3 , 2.58 g / cm 3 , 2.60 g / cm 3 , 2.62 g / cm 3 , 2.65 g / cm 3 , 2.68 g / cm 3 , 2.70 g / cm 3 , 2.72 g / cm 3 , 2.75 g / cm 3 , 2.78 g / cm 3 , 2.80 g / cm 3 or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0123] When the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell. Moreover, since the positive electrode active materials in the positive electrode film layer are stacked relatively closely, the contact resistance between particles is small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation during fast charging. Therefore, by adjusting the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer to a reasonable range, the battery cell has both high energy density and high charging rate performance.

[0124] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and can be optionally 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . Exemplarily, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 210 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 220 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 230 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 250 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 260 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 270 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 280 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 290 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 300 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 310 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 320 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 340 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 350 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 360 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0125] When the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the positive electrode sheet will not be excessive, and it can balance the improvement of the energy density and charging rate performance of the battery cell.

[0126] In the embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer of the battery cell at 100% state of charge (SOC) can be detected by the following method. Disassemble the positive electrode plate from the battery cell at 100% SOC, and measure the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer. For example, take a positive electrode plate with single-sided coating (if it is a double-sided coated electrode plate, the positive electrode film layer on one side can be wiped off first), punch it into small round pieces 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 above-mentioned weighed positive electrode plate, 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 = (the weight M1 of the positive electrode plate - the weight M0 of the positive electrode current collector) / S1, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer = the thickness H1 of the positive electrode plate - the thickness H0 of the positive electrode current collector, 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.

[0127] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material is from 1 Ω·cm to 27.5 Ω·cm. Optionally, it is less than or equal to 20 Ω·cm. Optionally, it is less than or equal to 11 Ω·cm. Exemplarily, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material can be 27.5 Ω·cm, 20 Ω·cm, 19 Ω·cm, 18 Ω·cm, 17 Ω·cm, 16 Ω·cm, 15 Ω·cm, 14 Ω·cm, 13 Ω·cm, 12 Ω·cm, 11 Ω·cm, 10 Ω·cm, 9 Ω·cm, 8 Ω·cm, 7 Ω·cm, 6 Ω·cm, 5 Ω·cm, 4 Ω·cm, 3 Ω·cm, 2 Ω·cm, 1 Ω·cm or the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0128] The relatively low powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material results in a relatively low resistance of the positive electrode plate and less heat generation of the battery cell.

[0129] In the embodiments of the present application, the powder resistivity of the material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by the methods and equipment well-known in the art. For example, according to the test standard GB / T30835-2014, use a PRCD1100 powder resistivity meter for testing.

[0130] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is 2.46 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm 3 . Exemplarily, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is 2.46 g / cm 3 、2.47 g / cm 3 、2.48 g / cm 3 、2.49 g / cm 3 、2.5 g / cm 3 、2.51 g / cm3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.58 g / cm 3 , 2.60 g / cm 3 , 2.65 g / cm 3 , 2.68 g / cm 3 , 2.70 g / cm 3 , 2.72 g / cm 3 , 2.75 g / cm 3 , 2.78 g / cm 3 , 2.80 g / cm 3 or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0131] When the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material is within the above range under 30000 N, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved. Moreover, since the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer can be stacked more tightly and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.

[0132] In the embodiments of the present application, the powder compaction density of the material has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by methods and equipment well-known in the art. Detection is carried out according to the test standard GB / T24533-2009. For example, a certain amount of positive electrode active material is taken as a sample and added to a mold with a bottom area of 1.327 cm 2 in a UTM7305 type electronic pressure testing machine, pressurized to 3000 kg (equivalent to 30000 N), kept under pressure for 30 s, then the pressure is released, kept for 10 s, and then the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under the action of 30000 N is recorded and calculated.

[0133] In some embodiments, the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a 0.1C rate is 150 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g, and can be optionally 157 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g. Exemplarily, the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a 0.1C rate is 150 mAh / g, 151 mAh / g, 152 mAh / g, 153 mAh / g, 154 mAh / g, 155 mAh / g, 156 mAh / g, 157 mAh / g, 158 mAh / g, 159 mAh / g, 160 mAh / g, 161 mAh / g, 162 mAh / g, 163 mAh / g, 164 mAh / g, 165 mAh / g, 166 mAh / g, 167 mAh / g, 168 mAh / g, 169 mAh / g, 170 mAh / g or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0134] When the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a 0.1C rate is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.

[0135] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific capacity of the active material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be tested by the equipment and methods well-known in the art. The test method of the first Coulomb efficiency and the first discharge specific capacity in Appendix G of the national standard GB / T 24533-2019 can be adopted. Using metallic lithium as the negative electrode and the sample electrode sheet containing the above materials as the positive electrode, a half-button cell is assembled. Under the condition of 23°C ± 2°C, the half-button cell is placed on a battery tester or other test equipment with the same performance, and the discharge capacity is obtained through charge and discharge at a rate of 0.1C. Then, the capacity is divided by the mass of the active material of the electrode sheet to obtain the charging specific capacity parameter.

[0136] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure in the positive electrode active material can be greater than or equal to 80% and less than or equal to 100%. It can be considered that the positive electrode active material of the present application is a lithium-containing phosphate system with an olivine structure. When the mass ratio of the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure is less than 100%, the positive electrode active material can also include common positive electrode active materials, such as, but not limited to, at least one of lithium-containing transition metal oxides. Examples of the lithium-containing transition metal oxides can include, but not limited to, at least one of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt oxide, lithium manganese cobalt oxide, lithium nickel manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide and their respective modified compounds.

[0137] Optionally, the mass ratio of the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure in the positive electrode active material is 100%.

[0138] In the embodiments of the present application, the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure can be phosphate particles or the material obtained by coating and modifying them. For example, the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure includes phosphate particles and a coating layer. The coating layer coats the surface of the phosphate particles, and the coating layer contains one or more elements of C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn.

[0139] By surface coating the coating layer on the phosphate particles, the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure can be improved, the powder resistivity of the material can be reduced, and it is beneficial to the migration rate of lithium ions, improving the fast charging ability of the battery and reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.

[0140] In some embodiments, the phosphate particles include a compound with the general formula Li x1 A y1 Me a M b P 1-c X c Y z where 0.5 ≤ x 1 ≤ 1.3, 0 ≤ y1 ≤1.3, and 0.9 ≤ x 1 + y 1 ≤1.3, 0.9 ≤ a ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ b ≤ 0.5, and 0.9 ≤ a + b ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.5, 3 ≤ z ≤ 5, A includes one or more of Na, K, and Mg, Me includes one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni, M includes one or more of B, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, Ba, Ta, W, Yb, La, and Ce, X includes one or more of S, Si, Cl, B, C, and N, and Y includes one or more of O and F. The cyclic stability of the phosphate particles is relatively excellent, which is beneficial to improving the cyclic performance of the battery cell.

[0141] Exemplarily, the phosphate particles include LiFePO 4 , LiMnPO 4 , LiNiPO 4 , LiCoPO 4 or one or more of them. During the charge and discharge process of the battery cell, the insertion and extraction and consumption of active ions such as Li will occur, and the molar content of Li is different when the battery cell is discharged to different states. Regarding the positive electrode active materials LiFePO 4 , LiMnPO 4 , LiNiPO 4 , LiCoPO 4 etc., the molar content of Li is the initial state of the material, that is, the state before feeding. When the positive electrode active material is applied to the battery system and undergoes charge and discharge cycles, the molar content of Li may change. In the embodiments of the present application, regarding the positive electrode active materials LiFePO 4 , LiMnPO 4 , LiNiPO 4 , LiCoPO 4 etc., the molar content of oxygen O is only the theoretical state value, and the release of oxygen from the lattice will cause the molar content of oxygen O to change. Actually, the molar content of oxygen O will fluctuate, and the above situations are all within the protection scope of the present application.

[0142] In some embodiments, the coating layer includes a fast ion conductor with the general formula Li 3-d Fe 2-d M2 d (PO x2 ) y2 , M2 includes one or more elements of Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn, 0 ≤ d ≤ 1, 0 < x 2 <5, 0 < y 2 <4.

[0143] Exemplarily, the fast ion conductor is a material having a NASICON structure, such as including one or more of lithium iron titanium phosphate Li2FeTi(PO4)3, lithium iron zirconium phosphate Li2FeZr(PO4)3, and lithium iron tin phosphate Li2FeSn(PO4)3.

[0144] The fast ion conductor having a NASICON structure is a material with ultrafast ion conduction ability, having rich three-dimensional lithium ion diffusion and transport channels, and having advantages such as high ion conduction efficiency and strong structural stability during multiple de-lithiation and lithiation processes. Coating the surface of the phosphate particles with a fast ion conductor containing a NASICON structure can significantly improve the transport rate of lithium ions during multiple de-lithiation / insertion at the positive electrode, improve the ion conductivity of the positive electrode active material, improve the fast charging ability of the battery cell, and in addition, can also improve the specific capacity and the energy density of the corresponding battery cell.

[0145] In some embodiments, the coating layer further includes elemental carbon.

[0146] The elemental carbon and the fast ion conductor can be arranged in layers. For example, the elemental carbon serves as an independent carbon coating layer, and the fast ion conductor serves as an independent fast ion conductor layer. The carbon coating layer can be coated on the surface of the phosphate particles, and the fast ion conductor layer is located on the surface of the carbon coating layer, that is, the fast ion conductor layer is located on the side of the carbon coating layer away from the phosphate particles. Or, the fast ion conductor layer can be coated on the surface of the phosphate particles, and the carbon coating layer is located on the surface of the fast ion conductor layer, that is, the carbon coating layer is located on the side of the fast ion conductor layer away from the phosphate particles. Of course, the elemental carbon and the fast ion conductor can also be arranged in the same layer.

[0147] Optionally, the carbon coating layer can be formed by carbonizing an organic carbon source (such as glucose, polyethylene glycol, etc.) on the surface of the fast ion conductor layer. The carbon coating layer can partially coat the fast ion conductor layer or can completely coat the fast ion conductor layer. The setting of the carbon coating layer can significantly improve the electronic conductivity of the phosphate particles, make up for the defect of poor electronic conduction performance of the phosphate particles, and improve the energy density of the battery cell. Specifically, the setting of the carbon coating layer endows the positive electrode active material of the present application with the following advantages: The carbon coating layer in the positive electrode active material of the present application provides a suitable channel for the transport of electrons, can significantly improve the conduction rate of electrons during multiple de-lithiation and lithiation processes, improve the electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate, improve the charging ability of the corresponding battery cell, and can also improve the energy density.

[0148] The carbon coating layer of the positive electrode active material of the present application is loose and porous, enabling the electrolyte to come into full and effective contact with the lithium-containing phosphate, thereby improving the lithium ion transport rate at the phase interface and enhancing the charging capacity of the battery cell.

[0149] Coating a layer of carbon coating on the surface of the lithium-containing phosphate can not only improve the electrical conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate, but also enhance the structural stability of the positive electrode active material, effectively alleviating the iron dissolution phenomenon of the positive electrode active material during the long-term storage and cyclic use of the battery cell, thereby improving the cycle life of the battery cell. The positive electrode active material of the present application uses lithium-containing phosphate as the base material, giving full play to the advantages of low cost, high use reliability, and good cycle stability of the lithium-containing phosphate. At the same time, the coating layer (fast ion conductor layer and carbon coating layer) is used to solve the disadvantages of poor electronic and ionic conductivity. The battery cell prepared from the positive electrode active material of the present application can improve the energy density of the battery cell on the premise of excellent cycle performance. In the embodiments of the present application, the content of elements in the positive electrode active material has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, referring to EPA 6010D-2014, it is tested by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, and determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES, instrument model: Thermo ICAP7400). After the battery cell is discharged to 0% state of charge (SOC) and the positive electrode plate is disassembled, it is washed with DMC and dried, and then after high-temperature calcination to remove impurities, 0.4 g of the positive electrode active material is weighed, and 10 ml (50% concentration) of aqua regia is added thereto. Then it is placed on a flat plate at 180 °C for 30 min. After digestion on the flat plate, it is fixed to a volume of 100 mL, and quantitative testing is carried out by the standard curve method.

[0150] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is 0.15 to 0.32, and can be selected as 0.19 to 0.26. Exemplarily, the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.20, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.30, 0.31, 0.32 or the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0151] When the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the electrical conductivity of the positive electrode active material, reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode plate, and thus reduce the heat generation of the battery cell.

[0152] In the embodiments of the present application, the higher the graphitization degree of the material, the lower the degree of disorder, and it can be tested according to the general rules of X-ray diffraction analysis method of JIS / K 0131-1996.

[0156] Exemplarily, the specific surface area of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is 5 m 2 / g, 6 m 2 / g, 7 m 2 / g, 8 m 2 / g, 9 m 2 / g, 10 m 2 / g, 11 m 2 / g, 12 m 2 / g, 13 m 2 / g, 14 m 2 / g, 15 m 2 / g, 16 m 2 / g, 17 m 2 / g, 18 m 2 / g or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0157] Carbon mainly exists in the coating layer in the form of a carbon coating layer. The carbon coating layer is loose and porous, which is beneficial to increasing the specific surface area of the material, more beneficial to the effective contact between the electrolyte and the phosphate particles, and beneficial to the transport of lithium ions at the phase interface. In addition, when the mass content of carbon is within the above range, it can significantly improve the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure, which is beneficial to enhancing the ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure, and can improve the rapid charging ability and energy density of the battery cell.

[0158] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific surface area of the material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by devices and methods well-known in the art. For example, detection is carried out in accordance with the test standard GB / T 19587-2017. Taking the positive electrode active material as a sample, the specific surface area is tested by a Tri-Star 3020 specific surface area and pore size analyzer of Micromeritics Corporation of the United States.

[0162] The particle size of the positive electrode active material is relatively small, the lithium deintercalation / insertion path of lithium ions in the positive electrode active material is short, and the heat generation is less. Moreover, the particle size of the above positive electrode active material is not too small, and basically no agglomeration occurs during the processing and preparation process, making the performance of the positive electrode active material stable.

[0166] The average particle size of the primary particles is relatively small, the lithium deintercalation / insertion path of lithium ions in the cathode active material is short, and the heat generation is less.

[0167] In the embodiments of the present application, the secondary particles refer to agglomerated particles formed by aggregation of two or more primary particles. The primary particles and the secondary particles can be easily distinguished by experimental means (such as taking SEM images using a scanning electron microscope), and the average particle size of the primary particles can be obtained by testing in the SEM images of the scanning electron microscope.

The above materials can be used as lithium supplement agents. The lithium supplement agents can supplement lithium ions to the cathode film layer, make up for the irreversible lithium ion loss in the system, and improve the capacity, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell.

When the mass content of the lithium supplement is within the above range, it can supplement lithium ions to the positive electrode film layer, make up for the irreversible lithium ion loss in the system, and improve the capacity, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell.

[0172] The lithium supplement can be in the same layer as the positive electrode active material or in different layers. When the lithium supplement and the positive electrode active material are in different layers, the lithium supplement can be in the lithium supplement layer, and the positive electrode active material can be in the positive electrode active material layer. In other words, the positive electrode film layer includes a lithium supplement layer and a positive electrode active material layer. The positive electrode active material layer can be disposed on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, and the lithium supplement layer can be located between the positive electrode active material layer and the positive electrode current collector.

[0176] In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the positive electrode current collector to the thickness of the single-sided positive electrode film layer is 0.05 to 0.3. Exemplarily, the ratio of the thickness of the positive electrode current collector to the thickness of the single-sided positive electrode film layer is 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.12, 0.15, 0.18, 0.2, 0.22, 0.25, 0.28, 0.3 or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0177] When the ratio of the thickness of the positive electrode current collector to the thickness of the single-sided positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the fast charging ability and energy density of the battery cell can be improved.

[0178] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive current collector is from 10 μm to 15 μm, optionally from 12 μm to 15 μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the positive current collector is 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, 12 μm, 12.5 μm, 13 μm, 13.5 μm, 14 μm, 14.5 μm, 15 μm or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0179] When the thickness of the positive current collector is within the above range, the current-carrying capacity of the positive current collector is relatively excellent, and it can enable the battery cell to have a relatively high energy density.

[0180] In the embodiments of the present application, the thicknesses of the positive electrode film layer and the positive current collector have meanings well-known in the art, and can be detected by devices and methods well-known in the art. For example, the thickness of the positive electrode plate is measured with a micrometer, the film layer on the surface of the positive current collector is removed, and the thickness of the positive current collector is measured with a micrometer. When the positive electrode film layer is coated on one side, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer is the thickness of the positive electrode plate minus the thickness of the positive current collector. When the positive electrode film layer is coated on both sides, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer is (the thickness of the positive electrode plate minus the thickness of the positive current collector) / 2.

[0181] The positive electrode film layer is usually formed by coating a positive electrode slurry on a positive current collector and then drying and cold pressing. The positive electrode slurry is usually formed by dispersing a positive electrode active material, an optional conductive agent, an optional binder, and any other components in a solvent and stirring evenly. The solvent can be N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), but is not limited thereto.

[0182] The positive electrode plate does not exclude other additional functional layers in addition to the positive electrode film layer. For example, in some embodiments, the positive electrode plate of the embodiments of the present application further includes a positive electrode conductive layer sandwiched between the positive current collector and the positive electrode film layer and disposed on the surface of the positive current collector. In some other embodiments, the positive electrode plate of the embodiments of the present application further includes a protective layer covering the surface of the positive electrode film layer.

[0183] In some embodiments, the positive electrode plate further includes a positive electrode conductive layer, and the positive electrode conductive layer is located between the positive electrode film layer and the positive current collector. The positive electrode conductive layer can further improve the conductivity of the positive electrode plate and reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode plate, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.

[0184] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is from 0.5 μm to 2 μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer can be 0.5 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, 2 μm or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0185] When the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is within the above range, the conductivity of the positive electrode sheet can be further improved, the heat generation of the positive electrode sheet can be reduced, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved while taking into account.

[0186] In the embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, tomographic scanning is performed on the positive electrode sheet to directly measure the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer.

[0187] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive layer includes one or more of a positive electrode conductive agent and a positive electrode binder.

[0188] Optionally, the mass content of the positive electrode conductive agent in the positive electrode conductive layer is 30% to 50%. Exemplarily, the mass content of the positive electrode conductive agent is 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50% or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0189] Exemplarily, the positive electrode conductive agent includes one or more of superconducting carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers. The positive electrode conductive agent in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the conductivity of the positive electrode conductive layer, thereby improving the conductivity of the positive electrode sheet and reducing the heat generation amount of the battery cell.

[0190] Optionally, the mass content of the positive electrode binder in the positive electrode conductive layer is 50% to 70%. Exemplarily, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70% or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0191] Exemplarily, the positive electrode binder includes one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, polyacrylic acid, and fluorinated acrylate resins. The positive electrode binder in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the bonding performance between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode film layer and improve the structural stability of the positive electrode sheet.

[0192] [Negative electrode sheet] The negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer provided on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector and including a negative electrode active material. For example, the negative electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite to each other in its own thickness direction, and the negative electrode film layer is provided on any one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.

[0193] In the embodiments of the present application, the resistance of the negative electrode plate is from 0.001 Ω to 0.01 Ω, and may be optionally from 0.001 Ω to 0.005 Ω. Exemplarily, the resistance of the negative electrode plate is 0.001 Ω, 0.002 Ω, 0.003 Ω, 0.004 Ω, 0.005 Ω, 0.006 Ω, 0.007 Ω, 0.008 Ω, 0.009 Ω, 0.01 Ω or the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0194] When the resistance of the negative electrode plate is within the above range, the resistance of the negative electrode plate is relatively small, which is beneficial to reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell.

[0195] In the embodiments of the present application, the resistance of the negative electrode plate has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by the equipment and methods well-known in the art. The detection method is the same as the resistance test method of the positive electrode plate described above.

[0196] In some embodiments, when the battery cell is in a 100% charged state, the tap density of the negative electrode film layer is 1.15 g / cm 3 to 1.36 g / cm 3 , and may be optionally 1.25 g / cm 3 to 1.36 g / cm 3 . Exemplarily, when the battery cell is in a 100% charged state, the tap density of the negative electrode film layer is 1.15 g / cm 3 , 1.18 g / cm 3 , 1.20 g / cm 3 , 1.22 g / cm 3 , 1.25 g / cm 3 , 1.28 g / cm 3 , 1.3 g / cm 3 , 1.32 g / cm 3 , 1.35 g / cm 3 , 1.36 g / cm 3 or the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0197] When the tap density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell. And since the negative active materials in the negative electrode film layer are stacked relatively closely, the contact resistance between particles is small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode plate and thus reduce heat generation.

[0198] In the embodiments of the present application, the tap density of the negative electrode film layer when the battery cell is in a 100% charged state has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by the equipment and methods well-known in the art. The detection method is the same as the tap density test method of the positive electrode film layer described above.

[0200] When the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the negative electrode sheet will not be excessive, and it can also take into account the improvement of the energy density of the battery cell.

[0201] In the embodiments of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art. The detection method is as described in the single-sided coating weight test method of the film layer above.

[0244] When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative active material in the second negative electrode film layer is within the above range, on the one hand, it can shorten the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions and improve the fast charging performance. On the other hand, the material is not prone to agglomeration during the preparation process, which can improve the stability of the material. On the further hand, the cooperation of the negative active material in the second negative electrode film layer and the negative active material in the first negative electrode film layer within the above volume average particle size range is beneficial to constructing the gradient pore difference between the second negative electrode film layer and the first negative electrode film layer, reducing the tortuosity of lithium ion transmission, and improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

The first negative electrode film layer is relatively sparsely packed and has more pores, which can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell. When the negative electrode active material includes graphite particles, the tapped density of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the tapped density of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer.

The above one charge and discharge is one cycle, and cycle 10 times. Then charge at a charging rate of 0.33 C of the nominal capacity to 3.65 V, and then charge at a constant voltage of 3.65 V to 0.05 C to obtain the BOL full charge state. In the BOL full charge state, disassemble the negative electrode plate, use a tomography scanning electron microscope to observe the cross-section in the thickness direction of the middle area of the negative electrode plate, distinguish the two regions according to the interface between the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer, and measure the thicknesses of the two respectively. For example, measure the thicknesses of 10 positions of the first negative electrode film layer, calculate their average value as the average value of the first negative electrode film layer, measure the thicknesses of 10 positions of the second negative electrode film layer, and calculate their average value as the average value of the second negative electrode film layer.

[0254] In some embodiments, after the full charge test at the end of life (EOL) of the battery cell, the thickness of the first negative electrode film layer is 15 μm to 70 μm, such as 15 μm, 16 μm, 17 μm, 18 μm, 19 μm, 20 μm, 21 μm, 22 μm, 23 μm, 24 μm, 25 μm, 26 μm, 27 μm, 28 μm, 29 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 43 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, 55 μm, 60 μm, 65 μm, 66 μm, 67 μm, 68 μm, 69 μm, 70 μm or a range composed of any two of the above values. When the thickness of the first negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer can regulate and increase the gradient pore difference between the upper and lower layers, reduce the tortuosity of lithium ion transport, and improve the fast charging ability of the battery cell.

[0255] In some embodiments, after the full charge test at the end of life (EOL) of the battery cell, the thickness of the second negative electrode film layer is 15 μm to 70 μm, such as 15 μm, 16 μm, 17 μm, 18 μm, 19 μm, 20 μm, 21 μm, 22 μm, 23 μm, 24 μm, 25 μm, 26 μm, 27 μm, 28 μm, 29 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 43 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, 55 μm, 60 μm, 65 μm, 66 μm, 67 μm, 68 μm, 69 μm, 70 μm or a range composed of any two of the above values. When the thickness of the second negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer can regulate and increase the gradient pore difference between the upper and lower layers, reduce the tortuosity of lithium ion transport, and improve the fast charging ability of the battery cell.

[0256] In the embodiments of the present application, for example, taking the upper limit voltage of battery charging as 3.65 V and the cut-off voltage of battery discharging as 2.0 V as an example for illustration, The specific steps for the EOL full charge test are as follows: At 60 °C, charge at a charging rate of 0.33C of the battery nominal capacity until 3.65V, then perform constant voltage charging at 3.65V until 0.05C, let it stand for 10 min, then discharge at a discharge rate of 0.33C until 2.0V, and let it stand for 10 min. The above one charge and discharge cycle is repeated until the battery capacity decays to 80% of the nominal capacity and the test stops. Then, at 25 °C, charge at a constant current of 0.33C until 3.65V, and perform constant voltage charging at a rate of 0.05C until 3.65V, which is the EOL full charge state. In the EOL full charge state, disassemble the negative electrode plate, and use a tomography scanning electron microscope to observe the cross-section in the thickness direction of the middle area of the negative electrode plate. Distinguish the areas of the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer according to the interface between them, and measure their thicknesses respectively. For example, measure the thicknesses of 10 positions of the first negative electrode film layer, calculate their average value as the average value of the first negative electrode film layer, measure the thicknesses of 10 positions of the second negative electrode film layer, and calculate their average value as the average value of the second negative electrode film layer.

The mass content of lithium element is calculated based on the mass of the lithium-containing binder. When the mass content of lithium element is within the above range, it can make the number of free-moving lithium ions in the negative electrode film layer relatively large, further shorten the distance for lithium ions to diffuse to the surface of the negative electrode film layer, increase the intercalation and deintercalation rate of lithium ions, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.

[0259] Exemplarily, the lithium-containing binder includes a lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer, which is derived from a lithium acrylate monomer, an acrylonitrile monomer, an acrylamide monomer, and a 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer.

For example, the molar ratio of the lithium acrylate monomer, the acrylonitrile monomer, the acrylamide monomer, and the 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer is 35%: 30%: 15%: 20%, or 40%, 20%, 10%, 30%, or 45%, 15%, 20%, 20%, etc.

[0272] The lithium-containing binder of the above material can provide a certain number of lithium ions for the negative electrode film layer, improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell, and is not prone to swelling during the charge and discharge process, with a stable structure, so that the cycle performance of the negative electrode film layer is improved during the fast charge and discharge process.

[0280] When the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is within the above range, the current-carrying capacity of the negative electrode current collector is relatively excellent, and the battery cell can have a relatively high energy density.

[0281] In the embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, the film layer on the surface of the negative electrode current collector is washed away with a solvent, and the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is measured with a micrometer.

[0282] The negative electrode film layer is usually formed by coating a negative electrode slurry on a negative electrode current collector and then drying and cold pressing. The negative electrode slurry is usually formed by dispersing negative electrode active materials, optional conductive agents, optional binders, and other optional additives in a solvent and stirring evenly. The solvent can be N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or deionized water, but is not limited thereto.

[0283] The negative electrode sheet does not exclude other additional functional layers besides the negative electrode film layer. For example, in some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet of the embodiment of the present application further includes a negative electrode conductive layer sandwiched between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode film layer and disposed on the surface of the negative electrode current collector. In some other embodiments, the negative electrode sheet of the embodiment of the present application further includes a protective layer covering the surface of the negative electrode film layer.

[0284] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet further includes a negative electrode conductive layer, and the negative electrode conductive layer is located between the negative electrode film layer and the negative electrode current collector. The negative electrode conductive layer can further improve the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet, reduce the heat generation of the negative electrode sheet, and thus reduce the heat generation of the battery cell.

[0285] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode conductive layer is 0.5 μm to 2 μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the negative electrode conductive layer can be 0.5 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, 2 μm or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0286] When the thickness of the negative electrode conductive layer is within the above range, it can further improve the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet, reduce the heat generation of the negative electrode sheet, and thus reduce the heat generation of the battery cell, and can also take into account improving the energy density of the battery cell.

[0287] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the negative electrode conductive layer has the meaning well known in the art, can be detected by equipment and methods well known in the art, and the test method of the negative electrode conductive layer in the foregoing can be adopted.

[0288] In some embodiments, the negative electrode conductive layer includes one or more of a negative electrode conductive agent and a negative electrode binder. The negative electrode conductive agent in the negative electrode conductive layer can improve the conductivity of the negative electrode conductive layer, thereby improving the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet and reducing the heat generation of the battery cell. The negative electrode binder in the negative electrode conductive layer can improve the bonding performance between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode film layer and improve the structural stability of the negative electrode sheet.

[0289] In some embodiments, the negative electrode conductive layer may further optionally include other additives. As an example, the other additives may include thickeners, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), PTC thermistor materials, etc.

[0290] Optionally, the mass content of the negative electrode conductive agent in the negative electrode conductive layer is 20% to 40%. Exemplarily, the mass content of the negative electrode conductive agent is 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40% or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0291] Exemplarily, the negative electrode conductive agent includes one or more of superconducting carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

Exemplarily, the ratio CB of the capacity of the negative electrode film layer per unit area to the capacity of the positive electrode film layer per unit area in the battery cell is 1.05, 1.07, 1.1, 1.12, 1.15, 1.18, 1.2, 1.22, 1.25, 1.28, 1.3 or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0295] When the ratio CB of the capacity of the negative electrode film layer per unit area to the capacity of the positive electrode film layer per unit area in the battery cell is within the above range, there are sufficient sites in the negative electrode film layer for lithium intercalation, which can reduce the risk of lithium deposition and is beneficial for fast charging.

[0296] In the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of the CB value is well-known in the art, and it can be detected by using well-known equipment and methods in the art. For example, calculate the capacity of the negative electrode film layer per unit area and the capacity of the positive electrode film layer per unit area respectively, and then calculate the ratio of the two to obtain the CB value.

[0297] Specifically, taking the battery charging upper limit voltage of 3.65V and the battery discharge cut-off voltage of 2.0V as an example for illustration, The capacity of the positive electrode film layer per unit area refers to the actual de-lithiation capacity of the positive electrode active material. The test method is as follows: Disassemble the battery in a PRS340 / 11-119-11 Braun glove box, take the positive electrode plate, assemble it into a CR2430 type half-button battery of positive electrode-lithium sheet, and the area of the positive electrode plate used is am 2 where the electrolyte uses 1mol / L LiPF 6In a solution with EC / EMC / DEC = 3 / 5 / 2 (mass ratio), then the assembled half-button battery is left standing for 3 h, the test is carried out at 25 °C, first charge (Charge) to de-lithiate in the voltage range of 2.0 V to 3.65 V at 0.1C, and then discharge (Discharge) to intercalate lithium to 2.0 V at 0.05C, cycle 2 times, and record the discharge capacity of the second cycle as Y mAh. The actual length of the positive electrode tab of the battery design is b mm, the width is c mm, and the number of sides d of the positive active material coated on the positive current collector, then the capacity of the positive electrode film layer per unit area = Y / a * b * c * d.

[0298] Specifically, the capacity of the negative electrode film layer per unit area refers to the actual lithium intercalation capacity of the negative active material. The test method is as follows: disassemble the battery in a PRS340 / 11-119-11 Braun glove box, take the negative electrode tab, and assemble it into a CR2430 type half-button battery of negative electrode-lithium sheet. The area of the negative electrode tab used is f mm 2 , where the electrolyte uses 1 mol / L LiPF 6 In a solution with EC / EMC / DEC = 3 / 5 / 2 (mass ratio), then the assembled half-button battery is left standing for 3 h, the test is carried out at 25 °C, first discharge (Discharge) to intercalate lithium in the voltage range of 2 V - 0 V at 0.1C, and then charge (Discharge) to de-lithiate to 2 V at 0.05C, cycle 2 times, and record the discharge capacity of the second cycle as Z mAh.

[0299] [Separator membrane] In the embodiments of the present application, the separator membrane includes a base membrane with a porous structure.

[0300] In some embodiments, the base membrane includes at least one of glass fiber, non-woven fabric, and polyolefin. The base membrane can be a single-layer film or a multi-layer composite film, without particular limitation. When the base membrane is a multi-layer composite film, the materials of each layer can be the same or different, without particular limitation.

[0301] Optionally, the polyolefin includes at least one of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinylidene fluoride.

[0302] In some embodiments, the porosity of the base membrane is 20% to 70%, and can be optionally 35% to 60%. Exemplarily, the porosity of the base membrane is 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70% or a range composed of any two of the above values.

[0303] When the porosity of the base film in the embodiments of the present application is within the above range, the migration ability of lithium ions in the separator can be improved, the internal resistance of the battery cell can be further reduced, and thus the heat generation can be reduced.

[0304] In the embodiments of the present application, the porosity refers to the percentage of the internal pore volume in the separator occupying the total volume of the separator. The porosity can be tested in accordance with the standard GB / T36363-2018 "Polyolefin Separators for Battery Cells". It should be noted that in the actual testing process, the testing process slightly different from the standard can be adopted according to the differences in testing instruments, testing errors, and in order to eliminate the testing influence on the porosity as much as possible, so as to obtain a more accurate test value.

[0305] In some embodiments, the thickness of the base film is 6 μm to 12 μm, and can be optionally 6 μm to 9 μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the base film is 6 μm, 6.5 μm, 7 μm, 7.5 μm, 8 μm, 8.5 μm, 9 μm, 9.5 μm, 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, 12 μm or the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0306] When the thickness of the base film is within the above range, the migration path of lithium ions in the base film is shorter, the internal resistance of the battery cell can be further reduced, and thus the heat generation can be reduced.

[0307] In the embodiments of the present application, the separator can be a base film. Optionally, the separator further includes a functional layer provided on at least one side of the base film. The functional layer can include inorganic particles to improve the heat resistance of the separator. Optionally, the functional layer is provided on both sides of the base film.

[0308] In some embodiments, the functional layer includes a first functional layer and a second functional layer. The first functional layer is located on one side of the base film and includes first inorganic particles. The second functional layer is located on the other side of the base film and includes composite particles. The composite particles include second inorganic particles and a plurality of non-fluoropolymer particles, and the second inorganic particles are attached to the surface of the non-fluoropolymer particles and / or dispersed inside the non-fluoropolymer particles.

[0309] The first functional layer and the second functional layer have good heat resistance, and can improve the heat resistance of the separator.

[0310] Optionally, the first functional layer can include a binder, and can optionally include at least one of a fluorine-containing binder or a polyacrylic acid binder, such as polyvinylidene fluoride.

[0311] Optionally, the first inorganic particles include one or more of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, boehmite, barium sulfate, calcium oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, zirconium oxide, and tin oxide. The above first inorganic particles can improve the heat resistance of the first functional layer.

[0312] In the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of the thickness of the base film is the meaning well-known in the art, and it can be detected by using the meaning and equipment well-known in the art. For example, a newly prepared separator film can be taken as a sample, or a battery cell that has been discharged (discharged to the lower cut-off voltage so that the charged state of the battery is about 0% SOC) can be disassembled in reverse, the separator film is obtained from the battery cell, and after drying the separator film, it is used as a sample. The separator film is cut by an ion beam cutter to form a cross-section. Subsequently, a scanning electron microscope is used to measure the thickness of the cross-section of the separator film and its respective layers.

[0313] The non-fluoropolymer particles in the second functional layer refer to polymers that are non-fluorinated polymers. For example, the non-fluoropolymer particles include acrylate copolymers. Optionally, the acrylate copolymers include acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-propylene copolymers. The acrylate copolymers have excellent adhesion properties and relatively high adhesion stability with the base film. The molar ratio of each monomer in the copolymer can be any ratio, such as a molar ratio of 35%:30%:15%:20%, or 40%, 20%, 10%, 30%, or 45%, 15%, 20%, 20%, etc.

[0314] The second inorganic particles in the composite particles prevent the non-fluoropolymer particles from adhering to each other easily due to the high-temperature treatment during the granulation process, resulting in pores in the composite particles, which is beneficial to the transport of lithium ions, improving the ionic conductivity of the separator film. Moreover, the second inorganic particles can also increase the compression modulus of the composite particles. During the charge and discharge process, the composite particles are not prone to deformation, making the structure of the separator film more stable, which can improve the kinetic performance of the battery cell and enhance the fast charging performance. Optionally, compared with the first functional layer, the second functional layer is arranged closer to the negative electrode tab. Since the composite particles are not prone to deformation, the separator film basically does not cause side effects such as extrusion to the negative electrode tab, making the kinetic performance of the negative electrode tab stable.

[0397] If there are multiple battery cells 7, the multiple battery cells 7 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a series-parallel combination. A series-parallel combination means that there are both series and parallel connections among the multiple battery cells 7. The multiple battery cells 7 can be directly connected in series, in parallel, or in a series-parallel combination together, and then the whole formed by the multiple battery cells 7 is accommodated in the accommodating part of the battery module 6. Of course, it is also possible that the multiple battery cells 7 are first connected in series, in parallel, or in a series-parallel combination to form battery modules 6, and then the multiple battery modules 6 are connected in series, in parallel, or in a series-parallel combination to form a whole and are accommodated in the accommodating part. Optionally, the battery module 6 can further include an accommodating part with an accommodating space, and the multiple battery cells 7 are accommodated in this accommodating space.

The number of battery modules 6 included in the battery pack 2 can be adjusted according to the application and capacity of the battery pack.

The box body 5 has an accommodating space 5c. The first box body part 5a is used to cover the second box body part 5b and form a closed space for accommodating the battery module 6. The multiple battery modules 6 can be arranged in the box body 5 in any manner.

[0400] The first box body part 5a and the second box body part 5b cover each other, and the first box body part 5a and the second box body part 5b jointly define an accommodating space 5c for accommodating the battery cells. The second box body part 5b can be a hollow structure with one end open, and the first box body part 5a is a plate-like structure. The first box body part 5a covers the open side of the second box body part 5b to form the box body 5 with the accommodating space 5c. The first box body part 5a and the second box body part 5b can also both be hollow structures with one side open, and the open side of the first box body part 5a covers the open side of the second box body part 5b to form the box body 5 with the accommodating space 5c. Of course, the first box body part 5a and the second box body 5b can be in various shapes, such as a cylinder, a cuboid, etc.

[0401] To improve the sealing performance after the connection between the first box body part 5a and the second box body part 5b, a sealing member can also be provided between the first box body part 5a and the second box body part 5b, such as sealant, sealing ring, etc.

[0402] Assume that the first box body part 5a covers the top of the second box body part 5b. The first box body part 5a can also be called the upper box cover, and the second box body part 5b can also be called the lower box body.

[0444] 2. DC internal resistance DCR test of battery cells The method in GB / T 31467 "Performance Test Specification for High-Power Lithium-Ion Power Batteries for HEV" can be referred to.

[0445] For example, at room temperature, charge the battery cell to 3.65V at a constant current of 0.33C, let it stand for 1 min, then charge it to 3.65V at a constant current of 0.1C, let it stand for 30 min, discharge it to 2.0V at a constant current of 0.33C, and record the discharge capacity A 0 , in the unit of Ah, then charge it at a constant current of 0.33C for 0.5A 0 Ah, and adjust the SOC to 50%.

[0446] After placing the battery cell at 20 °C for 2 h, discharge it at a constant current of 4C for 10s, and record ∆U 放电 , ∆I 放电 , and calculate the discharge DCR data of the lithium-ion battery through the following formula, R 放电 = ∆U 放电 / ∆I 放电 , where, ∆U 放电 represents the voltage change within the first 10s of discharge, and ∆I 放电 represents the current value within the first 10s of discharge.

[0447] 3. Number of cycles for the battery cell to cycle to 80% SOH At room temperature, charge the battery cell to the charging cut-off voltage of 3.65V at a constant current of 1C, and then discharge it to 2.0V at a constant current of 1C. This is one charge-discharge cycle. Repeat the above charge-discharge cycle steps until the cycle capacity retention rate (i.e., Cn / C0×100%) is 80%, and record the number of cycles. The more the number of cycles, the better the cycle performance of the battery cell.

[0448] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0449] Table 1

[0450] In Table 1, In Comparative Example 1, the mass content of carbon element on the surface of the positive active material is relatively low, resulting in relatively poor conductivity of the positive active material and a relatively large internal resistance of the positive electrode sheet.

[0451] In Comparative Example 2, the mass content of amorphous carbon on the surface of the graphite particles is relatively low, resulting in relatively poor conductivity of the graphite particles and a relatively large internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet.

[0452] In the case where the internal resistances of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are relatively large, it is not conducive to the rapid charging of the battery cell, and the DCR of the battery cell is relatively high. The battery cell generates more heat, making the electrolyte system unstable and the organic solvent easy to volatilize, resulting in an increase in the internal pressure of the battery cell and being not conducive to cycling.

[0453] In the examples of the present application, the resistance of the positive electrode sheet is 0.1 Ω to 30 Ω, optionally 0.1 Ω to 25 Ω, and optionally 0.1 Ω to 5 Ω. The resistance of the negative electrode sheet is 0.001 Ω to 0.01 Ω, optionally 0.001 Ω to 0.005 Ω, and optionally 0.001 Ω to 0.004 Ω. The resistances of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are controlled within a reasonable range, making the DCR of the battery cell relatively low and the battery cell generating less heat, making the electrolyte system relatively stable and the organic solvent not easy to volatilize, which is beneficial to improving the cycling performance.

[0454] In Examples 3-1 to 3-4, by adjusting the porosity or thickness of the base film in the separator, when the porosity of the base film is 20% to 70%, optionally 35% to 60%, and the thickness of the base film is 6 μm to 12 μm, optionally 6 μm to 9 μm, the migration ability of lithium ions in the separator is relatively strong, which is beneficial to rapid charging, and can reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby reducing heat generation and being beneficial to improving the cycling performance.

[0455] Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 The battery cell was prepared by a method similar to that of Example 1. Different from Example 1, the composition of the organic solvent in the electrolyte was adjusted.

[0456] Examples 4-1 to 4-3 The battery cell was prepared by a method similar to that of Example 1. Different from Example 1, In Example 4-1, The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 231 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and the compaction density at 100% SOC is 2.72 g / cm 3 , The single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is 110 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and the compaction density at 100% SOC is 1.21 g / cm 3 , and the composition of the organic solvent in the electrolyte was adjusted.

[0457] In Example 4-2, The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 258 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and the compaction density at 100% SOC is 2.72 g / cm 3 , The single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is 123 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and the compaction density at 100% SOC is 1.21 g / cm 3 , and the composition of the organic solvent in the electrolyte was adjusted.

[0458] In Example 4-3, The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 300 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and the compaction density at 100% SOC is 2.72 g / cm 3 , The single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is 138 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and the compaction density at 100% SOC is 1.26 g / cm 3 , and the composition of the organic solvent in the electrolyte was adjusted.
