Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of secondary battery technology, and more specifically, to a lithium-ion battery and an electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle and energy storage markets, higher demands are being placed on the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Currently, using a high-nickel ternary cathode paired with a silicon-carbon composite anode is the mainstream technical route for achieving high energy density (such as the 21700 cylindrical battery). However, this high-energy-density system faces severe safety and cycle life bottlenecks in practical applications: On the one hand, high-nickel cathodes are prone to lattice anisotropic contraction and phase transition under deep lithium insertion / extraction and high temperature conditions, accompanied by oxygen release and heat generation, which can easily lead to irreversible thermal runaway. On the other hand, the silicon-based anode undergoes a huge volume expansion (up to 300%) during the lithium insertion and extraction process. This not only causes the electrode to pulverize and fall off, and the SEI film to rupture repeatedly, thus drastically consuming active lithium, but the huge mechanical internal stress generated can also easily puncture the separator when the battery is damaged by external forces such as squeezing or puncturing, causing serious internal short circuits and fires and explosions.

[0003] In addition, traditional methods to improve safety (such as simply adding large doses of flame retardants) often increase electrolyte viscosity and severely disrupt film-forming kinetics at the electrode interface, resulting in a significant decrease in the battery's high-rate discharge performance. It is difficult for the industry to effectively balance high specific energy, high safety, and high power performance.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop lithium-ion batteries that combine high energy density, extreme safety, and excellent fast charging and discharging performance.

[0079] Experimental Example 1 The performance of the lithium-ion batteries prepared in each embodiment and comparative example was tested, and the results are shown in Tables 1-5.

[0080] Test method: (1) Determination of mass energy density: The total mass m of the battery is weighed using a high-precision electronic balance. Then, the total energy E released by the battery when discharged to the cutoff voltage at 0.5C is recorded in the standard capacity test. The energy density is calculated by the formula Energy / Density = E / m.

[0081] (2) Test method for compaction density of positive electrode sheet: First, the positive electrode sheet that has been washed with dimethyl carbonate and vacuum dried is cut into 9 standard-sized (2.0cm×2.0cm) square samples; then, the active material on the front and back of 3 of the square samples is wiped off, rinsed with NMP and dried, weighed and the average mass M1 (in g) is calculated, and the average thickness L1 (in cm) of the sample is measured using a micrometer; then, the mass of the other 3 square samples is weighed and the average mass M2 (in g) is calculated, and the average thickness L2 (in cm) of the sample is measured.

[0082] Calculate the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet: Unit: g / cm 3 .

[0083] (3) Test method for single-sided surface density of positive electrode sheet: First, the positive / negative electrode sheet, after being washed with dimethyl carbonate and vacuum dried, is cut into 9 standard-sized (2.0cm×2.0cm) square samples; then, the active material on the front and back of 3 of the square samples is wiped off, rinsed with NMP, dried, weighed, and the average mass M1 of the bare current collector is calculated; subsequently, the remaining 6 square samples with double-sided active material coating are accurately weighed, and the average total mass M2 of the double-sided electrode sheet is calculated; finally, according to the single-sided surface density formula: ; Where S is the test area of ​​a single square sample, i.e., 4.0 cm². 2 The areal density of the electrode was calculated, and the final test results were expressed in mg / cm³. 2 Records are kept by unit.

[0084] (4) The method for determining the N / P (capacity ratio) of the positive and negative electrodes is as follows: Circular pieces of fixed area are cut from the prepared positive and negative electrodes respectively. Using lithium metal sheets as the counter electrode and the same electrolyte as the full cell, they are assembled into coin cells in a glove box. Subsequently, the first charge-discharge test is performed at a low rate (usually 0.1C) within their respective specified voltage windows on a battery testing system to obtain the first reversible lithium intercalation / deintercalation areal capacity (mAh / cm²) of the positive half-cell. 2 The first reversible lithium insertion / extraction areal capacity (mAh / cm²) of the negative electrode half-cell. 2 Finally, the measured reversible capacity per unit area of ​​the negative electrode is divided by the reversible capacity per unit area of ​​the positive electrode, and the quotient is the N / P ratio of the system.

[0085] (5) Needle penetration test: The battery to be tested was fully charged to 100% SOC and placed in a 25℃ environment for 2 hours to stabilize. Then, the battery was fixed on an insulating clamp, ensuring that its positive and negative terminals were placed horizontally. Using a stainless steel needle with a diameter of 5 mm, perpendicular to the surface of the battery and along the direction between the positive and negative terminals, the needle was inserted into the battery at a speed of 10±1 mm / s until it was completely penetrated (the penetration depth should exceed 90% of the battery thickness). After insertion, the needle was kept still and the battery status was continuously observed for 5 minutes. Any abnormal phenomena such as fire, explosion, or smoke were recorded, and the temperature change was monitored by a thermocouple attached to the surface of the battery.

[0086] (6) Test method for discharge performance at 25℃ and 10C rate The battery was placed in a 25°C constant temperature chamber for 6 hours and tested according to the following steps: (a) under 1.0C constant current and constant voltage charging to 4.2V, with a cutoff current of 0.1C, and allowed to stand for 30 minutes; (b) under 1.0C constant current discharging to 2.5V cutoff, with a capacity of Q1, and allowed to stand for 30 minutes; (c) under 1.0C constant current and constant voltage charging to 4.2V, with a cutoff current of 0.1C, and allowed to stand for 30 minutes; (d) under 10C constant current discharging to 2.5V cutoff, with a capacity of Q2, and allowed to stand for 30 minutes; the 10C capacity retention rate was calculated as: Q2 / Q1×100%.

[0087] (7) 70% Deformation Extrusion Test: After charging the lithium-ion battery to 100% state of charge, place it horizontally on the extrusion test platform. Use a cylindrical steel rod with a diameter of 32mm as the extrusion head, and apply extrusion force to the battery thickness direction at a rate of 10mm / min. At the same time, monitor the battery thickness change in real time through a displacement sensor. Stop extrusion immediately when the battery deformation reaches 70% of the original thickness. The test standard is: the battery must not catch fire or explode during short circuit.

[0088] The specific results are as follows: Table 1 shows the battery performance test results obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2.

[0089] Table 1 shows the negative thermal expansion material ZrW2O8 in the positive electrode active layer. As an excellent negative thermal expansion (NTE) material, its core role lies in its physical lattice contraction when the internal temperature of the battery rises sharply (such as when subjected to needle-puncture internal short circuit, compression, or high-rate charge and discharge). This unique contraction effect can not only accurately offset the drastic volume expansion of the high-nickel positive electrode material under delithiation and heating conditions, maintaining the integrity of the positive electrode microcrystalline structure and thus effectively suppressing oxygen release and heat generation; it can also macroscopically free up valuable internal buffer space for the huge mechanical expansion of the silicon-carbon negative electrode, greatly alleviating the fatal compressive stress on the separator inside the densely wound cell.

[0090] The influence of the mass ratio of negative thermal expansion material ZrW2O8 on the overall performance of lithium-ion batteries: As the ZrW2O8 content increases (from 1% to 9%), the safety of the battery in nail penetration and extrusion tests is significantly enhanced. The maximum nail penetration temperature drops sharply from 338℃ to 76℃ and fire is eliminated. However, the cost is that the overall energy density decreases monotonically. At the same time, the capacity retention rate at 10C high-rate discharge shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. When the ZrW2O8 content is strictly controlled within the range of 3% to 7%, the battery can achieve an ideal dynamic balance between high specific energy and high safety. In particular, Example 1 with a content of 5% not only ensures excellent safety performance of not catching fire or exploding (the highest temperature reached by needle penetration is only 82°C), but also maintains a high energy density of 285 Wh / kg and an optimal rate performance of 88.4%. On the contrary, if the content of Comparative Example 1 is too low (1%), it will not be able to provide sufficient buffering effect, which will lead to fatal thermal runaway and fire. If the content of Comparative Example 2 is too high (9%), the energy density will fall below the bottom line and the kinetic performance will be significantly reduced due to the introduction of a large amount of inactive and low conductivity materials.

[0091] Table 2 shows the battery performance test results obtained in Examples 1, 5-7 and Comparative Examples 3-4.

[0092] Table 2 shows the impact of the mass ratio of silicon-carbon material in the negative electrode active layer on the core performance of the battery: As the amount of silicon-carbon composite material added gradually increases from 5% to 30%, thanks to the extremely high theoretical specific capacity of silicon material, the energy density of the battery achieves a leap from 255 Wh / kg to 305 Wh / kg. However, at the same time, due to the huge volume expansion that accompanies the silicon insertion and extraction of lithium, the structural stability and mechanical safety of the electrode sheet deteriorate sharply. When the silicon-carbon content is strictly controlled within the range of 10% to 25% (as in Examples 1 and 5 to 7), the battery system can effectively absorb and buffer expansion stress, ensuring not only a high energy density of ≥272Wh / kg, but also maintaining an excellent conductive network and good kinetic performance (10C capacity retention ≥82.3%). It also maintains a safety baseline of not catching fire or exploding during mechanical abuse tests such as nail penetration and extrusion (the best overall performance is in Example 1 with 15%). In contrast, for comparative examples outside this range, if the amount of silicon-carbon added is too low (such as 5% in Comparative Example 3), the system degenerates into a near-pure graphite anode and loses its high specific energy significance. If the amount added is too high (such as 30% in Comparative Example 4), the uncontrollable expansion internal stress will not only significantly reduce the capacity retention to 68.5%, but will also directly cause mechanical rupture of the separator under extrusion stress, leading to internal short circuit and fire, completely breaking the safety red line.

[0093] Table 3 shows the battery performance test results obtained in Examples 1, 8-10 and Comparative Examples 5-6.

[0094] Table 3 illustrates the "threshold effect" of the positive / negative electrode capacity ratio (N / P ratio) on the overall battery performance: the N / P ratio directly determines the redundancy of the lithium intercalation space in the negative electrode and the electrode thickness. When the N / P ratio is too low (e.g., 1.02 in Comparative Example 5), the negative electrode lacks sufficient lithium intercalation space, and lithium plating or even the formation of sharp lithium dendrites is easily triggered on the surface of the negative electrode during high-rate charging. This not only drastically consumes the limited active lithium, causing the 10C capacity retention rate to drop significantly to 65.2%, but also causes a serious internal short circuit due to dendrites piercing the separator during the extrusion test, resulting in a fire at a high temperature of 235°C and a complete loss of safety. Conversely, when the N / P ratio is too high (e.g., 1.16 in Comparative Example 6), although there is no risk of thermal runaway, the excessively thick negative electrode coating introduces a large amount of ineffective "dead weight," which not only significantly reduces the overall energy density of the pack to 268 Wh / kg, but also significantly lengthens the diffusion path of lithium ions in the solid phase, leading to increased polarization during high-rate discharge and a decrease in capacity retention rate to 71.3%. Only when the N / P ratio is precisely locked within the range of 1.06 to 1.12 can the battery achieve an excellent balance between the safety buffer space for preventing lithium plating and lightweight design. In particular, Example 1 with an N / P ratio of 1.08 is the optimal solution, taking into account the excellent fast discharge dynamic performance of 88.4%, the high specific energy of 285 Wh / kg, and the safety performance of not catching fire or exploding.

[0095] Table 4 shows the performance test results of the batteries obtained in Examples 1, 11-13 and Comparative Examples 7-8.

[0096] Table 4 clearly illustrates the profound impact of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) concentration in the electrolyte on battery kinetic performance: the lithium salt concentration directly determines the number of free charge carriers in the system and the viscosity of the electrolyte. When the lithium salt concentration is too low (e.g., 0.8 mol / L in Comparative Example 7), the free lithium-ion charge carriers in the electrolyte are severely depleted, which easily leads to severe concentration polarization during high-rate discharge at 10C, resulting in impaired mass transfer in the liquid phase and a sharp drop in capacity retention to 62.1%. Conversely, when the concentration is too high (e.g., 1.8 mol / L in Comparative Example 8), although the absolute number of charge carriers increases, the macroscopic viscosity of the electrolyte rises sharply, and the association effect between ions (formation of ion pairs) is significantly enhanced. This, in turn, greatly hinders the ion migration rate, causing a surge in internal resistance, and the high-rate discharge performance also deteriorates to 69.8%. Only when the LiPF6 concentration is precisely controlled within the range of 1.0~1.5 mol / L (as in Examples 1 and 11 to 13) can the ionic conductivity and viscosity of the electrolyte achieve a perfect balance. Under the premise of high energy density (approximately 285 Wh / kg) without damage to the battery and extreme physical safety (no fire or explosion even under needle puncture or extrusion), excellent fast-release kinetic performance is guaranteed. In particular, Example 1 with a concentration of 1.2 mol / L pushed the 10C capacity retention rate to an optimal peak of 88.4%.

[0097] Table 5 shows the performance test results of the batteries obtained in Examples 1, 14-16 and Comparative Examples 9-10.

[0098] Table 5 visually reflects the core interplay between the mass ratio of flame retardant TMP (trimethyl phosphate) in the electrolyte additive and its role in "inhibiting thermal runaway" and "maintaining electrode interface kinetics." As a highly efficient flame retardant, TMP primarily breaks the thermal runaway chain by capturing free radicals in the combustion reaction. When its addition is too low (e.g., 1% in Comparative Example 9), the electrolyte system lacks sufficient fire extinguishing capability and is rapidly ignited at the high temperature generated during the needle-puncture internal short circuit, causing the maximum temperature to soar to 345°C and resulting in a severe fire and explosion, completely breaching the safety baseline. However, TMP exhibits poor reduction stability on the negative electrode surface. If the addition is too high (e.g., 12% in Comparative Example 10), the excess TMP will severely interfere with and damage the dense film quality of the SEI (solid electrolyte interphase) film on the negative electrode surface, significantly increasing interfacial impedance and reducing ionic conductivity, thus disrupting the battery's high-rate kinetic performance, with the 10C capacity retention rate dropping to only 55.3%. Only by precisely controlling the mass percentage of TMP within the protective range of 3% to 8% (as in Examples 1 and 14 to 16), and relying on the synergistic formulation with film-forming agents (FEC and LiBOB), can the excellent high-rate discharge performance (10C capacity retention ≥76.5%) be preserved to the maximum extent while ensuring that the high-energy-density battery cell passes the stringent extrusion and needle penetration tests (without ignition or explosion). Example 1, with an addition of 5%, pushes the comprehensive balance between safety and electrochemical performance to the optimal solution.

[0099] Table 6. Performance test results of batteries obtained from Example 1, Comparative Examples 17-18, and Comparative Example 11.

[0100] Table 6 reflects the composition of ZrW₂O₈, HfW₂O₈, and Sc₂W₃O₈. 12 β-LiAlSiO4, as a negative thermal expansion (NTE) material, can control the needle penetration temperature between 82-86℃, and does not catch fire or explode during 70% extrusion testing. This further indicates that introducing a negative thermal expansion material into the positive electrode active material layer can offset the mechanical expansion internal stress of the silicon-carbon negative electrode, thus reserving a safe buffer space for the battery cell from a macroscopic physical level.

[0101] Table 7. Performance test results of batteries obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 12-14

[0102] In Table 7, comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 12, the rate performance decreased significantly (74.5%) without FEC. FEC is the core film-forming agent of the silicon-carbon anode SEI film. The absence of FEC will affect the integrity of the SEI film, increase the interfacial impedance, and thus affect the rate performance. Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 13, the absence of LiBOB has a smaller impact on the rate performance than the absence of FEC in Comparative Example 12, mainly affecting the needle penetration safety. Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 14, the absence of TMP leads to a significant increase in the needle penetration temperature, indicating that the main function of TMP is to prevent thermal runaway. Therefore, the absence of any one of FEC, LiBOB, and MP will affect the performance of one aspect and cause degradation. Therefore, the electrolyte configuration in this invention is the key to achieving high rate performance and high safety performance.

[0103] In summary, this invention, through a multi-dimensional and refined combination of parameters from electrode material stress management to electrolyte thermodynamic blocking, effectively breaks through the technical barrier of "high specific energy, high rate and high safety are difficult to achieve simultaneously" in the traditional high-nickel / silicon-carbon system. Ultimately, it realizes a 21700-type lithium-ion cylindrical battery that combines high energy density (≥270 Wh / kg), extreme physical safety (no fire or explosion under severe needle penetration and 70% deformation compression), and excellent fast charge and discharge dynamics (10C high rate discharge capacity retention ≥75%), which has extremely high commercial application and promotion value.
