Abstract
Description
The negative electrode active material has a large the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%,, the negative electrode active material has a high defect degree, the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material have fast charge exchange, the negative electrode active material has good kinetic performance, and during fast charging of the battery, the negative electrode does not tend to have a lithium plating problem. However, due to the high defect degree of the negative electrode active material, side reactions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, such as side reactions on the negative electrode-electrolyte solution interface, will increase, thereby increasing irreversible capacity losses, and reducing the capacity retention rate after cycles. the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the negative electrode active material is 0.15-0.40, which not only can improve the charge exchange capacity of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, but also can reduce side reactions on surfaces of particles of the negative electrode active material to a low level. Therefore, the negative electrode active material provided in embodiments of the present application can enable the battery to have high energy density, good kinetic performance, and good cycling performance. the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the negative electrode active material may be 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, 0.33, 0.34, 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.38, 0.39, 0.40, or a range consisting of any of the above values. Optionally, the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the negative electrode active material may be 0.20-0.39, 0.20-0.38, 0.20-0.37, 0.20-0.36, 0.20-0.35, 0.20-0.34, 0.20-0.33, 0.20-0.32, 0.20-0.31, or 0.20-0.30, thereby enabling the battery to better have high energy density, good kinetic performance, and good cycling performance. The critical charging rate of the battery of the present application without lithium plating is larger than or equal to 3C, that is, the battery of the present application is a fast-charging battery of 3C or above, and the duration for charging the battery from 0%SOC to 100% SOC is within 20 min, which can meet current requirements for fast charging. Further restricting the R values of the negative electrode active material, the inner core, and the coating layer can improve at least one of the energy density, the kinetic performance, and the cycling performance of the battery. In some embodiments, among all of the obtained R values of the negative electrode active material, the proportion of the number of R values smaller than the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the inner core may be smaller than or equal to 10%. Among all of the obtained R values of the negative electrode active material, the proportion of the number of R values smaller than the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the inner core can more accurately represent the uncoating degree of the negative electrode active material. The smaller the value is, the smaller the uncoating degree of the negative electrode active material is, and isotropy degree of the negative electrode active material is improved. In this case, the negative electrode active material has more active sites, and thus the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material have better charge exchange capacity, thereby further improving the kinetic performance of the negative electrode active material and the battery. In addition, the small uncoating degree of the negative electrode active material can further reduce a co-intercalation phenomenon of the solvent in the electrolyte solution during cycling, and then can further enable the battery to have better cycling performance. Optionally, among all of the obtained R values of the negative electrode active material, the proportion of the number of R values smaller than the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the inner core may be smaller than or equal to 8%, and more optionally smaller than or equal to 6%. Therefore, the kinetic performance and the cycling performance of the battery are further improved. In some embodiments, the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the inner core of the negative electrode active material is smaller than the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the coating layer. A large the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, and a large disorder degree of the coating layer of the negative electrode active material can enable the negative electrode active material and the battery to have good kinetic performance; while a small the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, and a small disorder degree of the inner core of the negative electrode active material can enable the whole negative electrode active material to have high gram capacity, and enable the battery to have high energy density. the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the coating layer may be 0.9-1.4, for example, may be 0.9, 0.95, 1.0, 1.05, 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.4, or a range consisting of any of the above values. Optionally, the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the coating layer is 0.95-1.25. Within the above range of the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the coating layer, the coating layer itself has good kinetic performance, not only can improve the kinetic performance of the negative electrode active material and the battery; but also can further enable the negative electrode active material to have a small specific surface area, thereby reducing side reactions of the battery, and enabling the battery to have good cycling performance. In some embodiments, the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the inner core may be 0.06-0.13, for example, may be 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, or a range consisting of any of the above values. The larger the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the inner core is, the better the kinetic performance of the negative electrode active material is; and the smaller the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the inner core is, the higher gram capacity of the negative electrode active material is. the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the inner core within the above range can enable the battery to have both high energy density and good kinetic performance. In some embodiments, the mass of the coating layer may be 0.3%-4.5% of the mass of the inner core, for example, may be 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.4%, 2.8%, 3.2%, 3.6%, 4%, 4.5%, or a range consisting of any of the above values. Optionally, the mass of the coating layer may be 1%-3.2% of the mass of the inner core. the mass of the coating layer will affect the thickness of the coating layer, and will further affect the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the negative electrode active material and the uncoating degree of the coating layer. Coating the surface of the inner core with one coating layer can reduce the contact between the inner core and the electrolyte solution, thereby reducing the co-intercalation phenomenon of the solvent in the electrolyte solution during cycling, and improving the cycling performance of the battery; and when the thickness of the coating layer further increases, because the coating layer itself has more pores, the side reactions on the negative electrode-electrolyte solution interface increase, thereby increasing irreversible capacity losses, and declining the cycling performance the battery to a certain extent. Mass proportion of the coating layer within the above range can reduce the uncoating degree of the coating layer, thereby improving the charge exchange capacity of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, reducing the side reactions on the surfaces of particles of the negative electrode active material to a low level, and enabling the negative electrode active material to have high gram capacity. The mass proportion of the coating layer within the above range is conducive to enabling the battery to have high energy density, good kinetic performance, and long cycle life. In some embodiments, a difference value between a volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material and a volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the inner core may be 1 pm-5.5 pm, for example, may be 1 pm, 1.4 pm, 1.8 pm, 2.2 pm, 2.4 pm, 2.6 pm, 2.8 pm, 3 pm, 3.2 pm, 3.4 pm, 3.6 pm, 3.8 pm, 4 pm, 4.2 pm, 4.5 pm, 5 pm, 5.5 pm, or a range consisting 22 of any of the above values. Optionally, the difference value between the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material and the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the inner core may be 1.5 pm-4.2 pm, or 2 pm-4 pm. The difference value between the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material and the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the inner core within the above range not only can improve charge exchange capacity of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, but also can reduce the side reactions on the surfaces of the particles of the negative electrode active material to a low level, and can further enable the negative electrode active material to have high gram capacity, which is thus conductive to enabling the battery to have high energy density, good kinetic performance, and long cycle life. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material may be 8 pm-25 pm, and is optionally 12 pm-17 pm. The volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material within the above range not only can enable lithium ions to have good solid-phase conductivity inside the particles of the negative electrode active material, but also can enable the negative electrode active material to have a small specific surface area, which is thus conductive to enabling the battery to have both good cycling performance and good kinetic performance. The volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material within the above range can further enable the negative electrode slurry to have good dispersity. The volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the material has a well-known meaning in the art, represents a corresponding particle size when a cumulative volume distribution percentage of the material reaches 50%, and may be measured using well-known instruments and methods in the art, for example, may be conveniently measured using a laser particle size analyzer with reference to GB / T 19077-2016 Particle size analysis-laser diffraction methods. The testing instrument may be a Mastersizer 3000 laser particle size analyzer of Malvern Instruments Ltd. The graphite is artificial graphite. The inner core comprises artificial graphite, which enables the battery to have high energy density and good cycling performance. In some embodiments, the graphite may have secondary particle morphology. When the graphite has secondary particle morphology, the isotropy degree of the graphite increases, which is conducive to fast intercalation of the lithium ions, is then conducive to enabling the battery to have good kinetic performance, and can further improve the gram capacity of the negative electrode active material and the energy density of the battery. In some embodiments, an intensity ratio C(004) / C(110) of the 004 crystal plane diffraction peak to the 110 crystal plane diffraction peak of the graphite measured by X-ray diffraction may be 5.5-6.5. The intensity ratio of the crystal plane diffraction peak 004 to the crystal plane diffraction peak 110 of the graphite measured by X-ray diffraction may represent the isotropy degree of the graphite. When this value is small, the graphite has high isotropy degree, and the graphite particles have lithium-ion intercalation sites in all directions, which are conducive to fast intercalation of lithium ions, and are then conducive to enabling the battery to have good kinetic performance. As an example, the intensity ratio C(004) / C(110) of the crystal plane diffraction peak 004 to the crystal plane diffraction peak 110 of the graphite may be tested by X-ray diffraction using an X-ray diffractometer (such as Bruker D8 Discover) with reference to JIS K 0131-1996 and JB / T 4220-2011, to obtain an X-ray diffraction pattern of a powder sample. The C(004) / C(110) represents a ratio of an integral area of the crystal plane diffraction peak 004 to an integral area of the crystal plane diffraction peak 110 of crystalline carbon in the powder sample. In an analysis test by X-ray diffraction, a copper target may be used as an anode target with CuKa rays as a radiation source at a ray wavelength of X=1.5418A in a scanning 20 angle range of 20°-80° at a scanning rate of 4° / min. In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material may have a gram capacity of 354 mAh / g-361 mAh / g. The gram capacity of the negative electrode active material may be obtained by assembling a button battery and performing a charge-discharge test. As an example, the negative electrode active material sample may be fully mixed with a conductive agent Super P and a binder polyvinylidene 24 fluoride (PVDF) at a mass ratio of 91.6:1.8:6.6 in a solvent N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to prepare a slurry; the resulting slurry is coated on a copper foil current collector, then dried in a drying oven, and then cold pressed to compacted density controlled at 1.4 g / cm3-1.6 g / cm3; then, a metal lithium plate serves as a counter electrode, a polyethylene film serves as a separator, the electrolyte solution is injected, and a CR2430 button battery is assembled in an argon-protected glove box. A formula used for the electrolyte solution is as follows: ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and diethyl carbonate (DEC) are mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1:1, and then a fully dried lithium salt LiPF6 is dissolved in the mixed solvent at a ratio of 1 mol / L to prepare the electrolyte solution. At 25°C, the resulting button battery is left to stand for 12 h, then discharged to 0.005 V at a constant current at 0.05C, left to stand for 10 min, then discharged to 0.005 V at a constant current of 50 gA, left to stand for 10 min, and then discharged to 0.005 V at a constant current of 10 gA. A sum of the three discharge capacities is used as a first-cycle discharge capacity of the button battery. Then, the battery is charged to 2.0 V at a constant current at 0.1C, to record a first-cycle charge capacity of the button battery. A ratio of the first-cycle charge capacity of the button battery to the mass of the negative electrode active material sample is the gram capacity of the negative electrode active material. In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material may have a powder compacted density of 1.68 g / cm3-1.78 g / cm3 under a pressure of 20,000 N. For example, an appropriate amount of negative electrode active material powder is placed in a special compaction mold, which is placed on a compacted density instrument set at different pressures, to read powder thicknesses under different pressures on the device (which are thicknesses after pressure relief here), and calculate powder compacted densities p of the negative electrode active material under the corresponding pressures as per p=m / (s*h). The pressure is set to 20,000 N. m represents the mass of the negative electrode active material powder sample, g. s is a bottom area of the special compaction mold, and is 1.327 cm2 here. h is compacted thickness of the negative electrode active material powder sample, cm. In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material may have a specific surface area of 1.5 m2 / g-4.5 m2 / g. The specific surface area of the negative electrode active material within the above range can reduce the side reactions on the negative electrode-electrolyte solution interface, and reduce irreversible consumption of the lithium ions, thereby improving the cycle life of the battery. The specific surface area of the material has a well-known meaning in the art, and may be measured using well-known instruments and methods in the art, for example, may be tested using the specific surface area analysis and test method by nitrogen adsorption with reference to GB / T 19587-2017, and calculated using the BET (Brunauer Emmett Teller) method, wherein the specific surface area analysis and test by nitrogen adsorption may be carried out using Tri-Star 3020 surface area and porosity analyzer of Micrometrics Instruments Corporation. An embodiment of the present application further provides a method for preparing a negative electrode active material, which can be used to prepare the negative electrode active material provided in embodiments of the present application. The preparation method includes the following steps: providing a coke raw material; crushing, shaping, and grading the coke raw material to obtain an aggregate; mixing the resulting aggregate with a binder, successively granulating and graphitizing the mixture to obtain graphite; performing solid-liquid fusion on the resulting graphite and a liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent; and carbonizing the solid-liquid fusion product in a protective gas atmosphere, so that the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent is carbonized into hard carbon and coats at least a part of the surface of the graphite, to obtain a negative electrode active material. The negative electrode active material comprises an inner core and a coating layer located on at least a part of the surface of the inner core, the inner core comprises graphite, the coating layer comprises hard carbon; and in a cumulative distribution curve of R values of the negative electrode active material obtained under a surface scanning mode of a laser microscopic confocal Raman spectrometer, the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, from the lower limit is 0.15-0.40. The particle size of the coke raw material is generally relatively large, and may be reduced by crushing. Optionally, the crushing may include two steps of coarse crushing and pulverization. Coarse crushing can break the coke raw material into millimeter-sized blocky particles. Pulverization can break the material from millimeter-sized particles to particles of tens of micrometers. After crushing, the coke raw material has unsmooth surfaces, and the coke raw material particles themselves can be more rounded by shaping. Grading can reduce the content of particles with too large sizes and particles with too small sizes, and can further regulate the particle size and particle size distribution of the coke raw material. The coke raw material may comprise one or more of a petroleum-based needle coke and a coalbased needle coke. These coke raw materials are anisotropic materials, which are not only conductive to reducing the disorder degree of the inner core material and improving the gram capacity of the inner core material and the overall gram capacity of the negative electrode active material, but also conductive to improving the energy density of the battery. In the preparation method provided in embodiments of the present application, solid-liquid fusion is performed on the graphite with a liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent. Because of having good fluidity, the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent can be uniformly distributed on surfaces of graphite particles, thereby improving the coating effects of the coating layer, and reducing the uncoating degree; and the carbonized liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent can enable the negative electrode active material to have a small R50, thereby improving charge exchange capacity of ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, and improving the kinetic performance of the negative electrode active material and the battery. Reducing the uncoating degree of the negative electrode active material can further reduce the side reactions on the surfaces of the particles of the negative electrode active material to a low level, and is then conductive to enabling the battery to have good cycling performance. Therefore, the negative electrode active material prepared using the preparation method provided in embodiments of the present application can enable the battery to have high energy density, good kinetic performance, and good cycling performance. Optionally, the mass of the binder may be 6%-12%, optionally 8%-10%, of the mass of the aggregate obtained by grading. Therefore, the graphite can have good secondary particle morphology. Optionally, the binder may include asphalt. The device used for granulation may include any one of a horizontal reactor or a vertical reactor. Optionally, the granulation process may adopt a stepped heating and temperature holding process. Therefore, the graphite can have good secondary particle morphology and high capacity. Optionally, 2-4 programmed heating platforms may be set during the heating. Generally, surfaces of coke raw materials in different batches and from different raw materials are uneven and has many defects. Graphitization can further significantly repair the surface defects of the materials, thereby resulting in good Raman value centrality under the surface scanning mode of the inner core material, and better performance consistency in finished product of the graphite. The device used for graphitization may include any one of an Acheson graphitization furnace, a chamber furnace, or a lengthwise furnace. Optionally, the graphitization temperature may be 2,8001-3,8001, for example, may be 2,8001, 2,8501, 2,9001, 3,0001, 3,1001, 3,2001, 3,3001, 3,4001, 3,5001, 3,6001, 3,7001, 3,800°C, or a range consisting of any of the above values. More optionally, the graphitization temperature may be 2,850C-3300C. The specific graphitization duration may be reasonably selected based on an employed device. Based on a high graphitization temperature and a long graphitization duration, the graphite has a high gram capacity, a small disorder degree, and a small the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the graphite. An appropriate graphitization temperature is selected, thereby enabling the battery to have both high energy density and good kinetic performance. In some embodiments, a coking value of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent may be 35%-50%, and is optionally 38%-48%. The coking value of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent is a percentage of the mass of residual carbon left after a specified amount of the liquid phase hard carbon coating agent sample is heated under specified conditions in the mass of the liquid phase hard carbon coating agent sample, and may be tested with reference to GB / T 8727-2008. In some embodiments, the mass of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent may be 0.7%-10% of the mass of the graphite, for example, may be 0.7%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, or a range consisting of any of the above values. Optionally, the mass of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent may be 3%-7% of the mass of the graphite. As the mass proportion of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent increases, the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the negative electrode active material increases, and the disorder degree on the surfaces of the particles of the negative electrode active material increases. Mass proportion of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent within the above range can reduce the uncoating degree of the negative electrode active material to a small range, thereby improving the charge exchange capacity of the ions on the surface of the resulting negative electrode active material, reducing the side reactions on the surfaces of the particles of the resulting negative electrode active material to a low level, and further enabling the resulting negative electrode active material to have high gram capacity, which is conductive to enabling the battery to have high energy density, good kinetic performance, and long cycle life. In some embodiments, the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent includes a liquid resin, which is a hard carbon precursor material. When the coating layer comprises hard carbon, the negative electrode active material and the battery can have better kinetic performances. The liquid resin may be purchased commercially or synthesized according to a method known in the art, or may be obtained by fully mixing the resin powder with a solvent. In some embodiments, the liquid resin may have a viscosity at 25OC of 150 mPa-s-2,000 mPa-s, for example, 150 mPa-s, 200 mPa-s, 300 mPa-s, 400 mPa-s, 500 mPa-s, 600 mPa-s, 700 mPa-s, 800 mPa-s, 900 mPa-s, 1,050 mPa-s, 1,200 mPa-s, 1,400 mPa-s, 1,600 mPa-s, 1,800 mPa-s, 2,000 mPa-s, or a range consisting of any of the above values. Optionally, the liquid resin may have the viscosity of 300 mPa-s-900 mPa-s at 25C. The viscosity of the liquid resin may be tested with reference to GB / T 14074-2017 at a test temperature of 25C using a test device of an NDJ-1 rotational viscometer. The viscosity of the liquid resin within the above range can enable the liquid resin to have not only good fluidity and diffusivity, but also good curing effects and coating effects. Therefore, the liquid resin can be uniformly dispersed on the surfaces of the graphite particles, which is conductive to improving the coating effects, reducing the uncoating degree, and further improving the uniformity of coating on the surfaces of the graphite particles, and is then conductive to enabling the battery to have both good kinetic performance and long cycle life. In some embodiments, solid content of the liquid resin may be 50%-85%, and is optionally 60%-82%. Solid content of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent may be tested using a drying method with reference to GB / T 14074-2017. Free components and moisture in the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent will volatilize at a high temperature. The solid content of the liquidphase hard carbon coating agent refers to a percentage of residual mass after drying under specified conditions in a total mass. The drying oven is set to a temperature of 150C for drying to a constant weight. The solid content of the liquid resin within the above range can enable the liquid resin to have not only good fluidity and diffusivity, but also good curing effects and coating effects. Therefore, the liquid resin can be uniformly dispersed on the surfaces of the graphite particles, which is conductive to improving the coating effects, reducing the uncoating degree, further regulating the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the negative electrode active material, increasing the disorder degree on the surfaces of the particles of the negative electrode active material, and improving the charge exchange capacity of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, and is then conductive to enabling the battery to have good kinetic performance and long cycle life. In some embodiments, the liquid resin may include at least one of liquid phenolic resin, liquid epoxy resin, liquid vinyl ester resin, liquid unsaturated polyester resin, liquid furan resin, and respective derivatives thereof. The derivatives generally refer to products derived by replacing hydrogen atoms or atomic groups in polymers with other atoms or atomic groups. The above liquid resin is a good hard carbon precursor material, can, as a liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent, better improve the kinetic performance of the battery, and can further enable the battery to have good cycling performance. In some embodiments, the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent comprises liquid phenolic resin, and the liquid phenolic resin may have a solid content of 60%-82% and a weight average molecular weight of 300-800. Optionally, the liquid phenolic resin may have the solid content of 68%-78% and the weight average molecular weight of 450-700. Compared to other liquid resins, the hard carbon formed by carbonization and coking of the liquid phenolic resin itself has better performance. Further regulating the solid content and the weight average molecular weight of the liquid phenolic resin within the above range can enable the hard carbon formed by carbonization to have better kinetic performance, can further improve the coating effects, and can reduce the uncoating degree, thereby improving the charge exchange capacity of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, and improving the kinetic performance of the negative electrode active material. The weight average molecular weight of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent may be tested by gel permeation chromatography using a test instrument of an Agilent 1290 Infinity II GPC system. The eluent may be tetrahydrofuran, and polystyrene standard substance is used for calibration. The liquid phenolic resin may be obtained by polycondensation of, e.g., a phenolic compound and an aldehyde compound in the presence of an alkali catalyst. The polycondensation reaction begins to generate a liquid substance. The liquid phenolic resin mentioned in an embodiment of the present application is a resol. The phenolic compound may include one or more of phenol, cresol, dimethylphenol, nonylphenol, bisphenol A, bisphenol F, resorcinol, propylphenol, ethylphenol, and cardanol, and is optionally phenol. The aldehyde compound may include one or more of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, butyraldehyde, polyformaldehyde, and furfural, and is optionally formaldehyde. The alkali catalyst may include one or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, ammonia water, sodium carbonate, and tertiary amine. In some embodiments, a device for performing solid-liquid fusion on the graphite and the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent may be a fusion machine. Optionally, a stirring speed of the fusion machine may be 350 r / min-1,000 r / min, for example, may be, 350 r / min, 400 r / min, 450 r / min, 500 r / min, 550 r / min, 600 r / min, 650 r / min, 700 r / min, 750 r / min, 800 r / min, 850 r / min, 900 r / min, 1,000 r / min, or a range consisting of any of the above values. More optionally, the stirring speed of the fusion machine may be 450 r / min-850 r / min. Increasing the stirring speed of the fusion machine is conductive to improving the coating effects, and reducing the uncoating degree, thereby improving the charge exchange capacity of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, and improving the kinetic performance of the negative electrode active material. However, a too large stirring speed of the fusion machine will damage outer surface structure of the inner core, and strong centrifugation will further cause weight losses of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent. Optionally, a stirring duration of the solid-liquid fusion may be 4 min-10 min, for example, may be 4 min, 5 min, 6 min, 7 min, 8 min, 9 min, 10 min, or a range consisting of any of the above values. More optionally, the stirring duration of solid-liquid fusion may be 6 min-8 min. Increasing the solid-liquid fusion stirring duration is conductive to improving the coating effects and reducing the uncoating degree, thereby improving the charge exchange capacity of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, and improving the kinetic performance 32 of the negative electrode active material. However, if the stirring duration is too long, the gain of improving the coating effects is not obvious, and energy consumption will further increase. In some embodiments, a device for carbonization may be a track kiln. In some embodiments, a holding temperature of the carbonization may be 900°C-1,500°C, for example, may be 900C, 1,000C, 1,050C, 1,100C, 1,150C, 1,200C, 1,250C, 1,300C, 1,350C, 1,400C C, 1,500C, or a range consisting of any of the above values. Optionally, the holding temperature of the carbonization may be 1,050C-1,350C.

Optionally, the temperature holding duration of the carbonization may be 5 h-8 h. The temperature holding duration of the carbonization refers to a duration of stay at the holding temperature. In some embodiments, the preparation method may further include a step of depolymerizing, sieving, and demagnetizing the carbonized material. The depolymerization may be carried out in a depolymerization machine, to eliminate weak adhesion on the surface of the coating layer and reduce the problem of excessive agglomeration of the resulting finished product particles. The sieving can reduce the content of large particles and fine powder in the resulting finished product, thus contributing to obtainment of desired particle size and particle size distribution. The demagnetization can reduce the content of magnetic impurities in the resulting finished product. The magnetic impurities will increase self-discharge of the battery, and reduce the battery performance. [Negative electrode plate] The battery cell comprises a negative electrode plate. The negative electrode plate comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer located on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector. For example, the negative electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite in its own thickness direction, and the negative electrode film layer is arranged on either one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the negative electrode current collector. In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector may comprise a metal foil, a three-dimensional porous current collector, or a composite current collector. As an example of the metal foil, copper foil, copper alloy foil, nickel foil, nickel alloy foil, aluminum foil, or aluminum alloy foil may be used. As an example of the three-dimensional porous current collector, copper mesh, nickel mesh, copper foam, nickel foam, or aluminum foam may be used. The composite current collector may comprise a polymer material substrate layer and a metal material layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material substrate layer. As an example, the metal material may include, but is not limited to, one or more of copper, copper alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, aluminium, aluminum alloy, silver, and silver alloy. As an example, the polymer material substrate layer may include, but is not limited to, one or more of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE). The negative electrode film layer includes the above negative electrode active material or the negative electrode active material prepared using the above preparation method, thereby enabling the battery to have high energy density, good kinetic performance, and good cycling performance. In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer may further include other well-known negative electrode active materials in the art, for example, the other negative electrode active materials include, but are not limited to, one or more of natural graphite, artificial graphite, soft carbon, hard carbon, silicon matrix material, tin matrix material, and lithium titanate. In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer further optionally comprises a negative electrode conductive agent. As an example, the negative electrode conductive agent may include, but is not limited to, one or more of superconducting carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dot, carbon nanotube, graphene, or carbon nanofiber. In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer further optionally comprises a negative electrode binder. As an example, the negative electrode binder may include, but is not limited to, 34 one or more of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), water soluble unsaturated resin SR-1B, waterborne acrylic acid resin (e.g., polyacrylic acid (PAA), polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), or sodium polyacrylate (PAAS)), polyacrylamide (PAM), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), or carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS). In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer further optionally comprises other adjuvants. As an example, the other adjuvants may include, but are not limited to, a thickener, e.g., sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or a PTC thermistor material. In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode film layer may be 45 pm-100 pm, and is optionally 55 pm-100 pm, 70 pm-100 pm. The thickness of the negative electrode film layer is thickness of the negative electrode film layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector. The thickness of the negative electrode film layer may be measured with a myriadmeter. The thickness of the negative electrode film layer is associated with intercalation speed of the ions and polarization magnitude of the negative electrode, so that magnitude of its thickness will affect the kinetic performance of the negative electrode plate. Generally, the thicker the negative electrode film layer is, the more difficult it is for the ions to diffuse in the liquid phase inside the porous negative electrode under equivalent conditions. Regulating the thickness of the negative electrode film layer within the above range is conducive to enabling the battery to have better kinetic performance under the premise of having high energy density. In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer comprises a first negative electrode film layer and a second negative electrode film layer located between the first negative electrode film layer and the negative electrode current collector, the thickness of the first negative electrode film layer is 30%-60% of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer, and thickness of the second negative electrode film layer is 70%-40% of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer. Optionally, the thickness of the first negative electrode film layer is 30%-40% of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer, and the thickness of the second negative electrode film layer is 70%-60% of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer. The first negative electrode film layer comprises a first negative electrode active material, the second negative electrode film layer comprises a second negative electrode active material, and the first negative electrode active material includes the above negative electrode active material or the negative electrode active material prepared using the above preparation method, thereby enabling the battery to have high energy density, good kinetic performance, and good cycling performance.

During slurry drying, the negative electrode binder will float, so that content of the negative electrode binder on an outer surface of the negative electrode film layer increases, which is not conducive to liquid-phase conduction of the ions inside the porous negative electrode and charge exchange of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material. The negative electrode film layer is zoned, the mass content w1 of the first negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is larger than the mass content w2 of the second negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode film layer, and the mass content of the negative electrode binder in the first negative electrode film layer is smaller than the mass content of the negative electrode binder in the second negative electrode film layer, thereby reducing the problem of the negative electrode binder floating during slurry drying, and reducing the content of the negative electrode binder on the outer surface of the negative electrode film layer, which is thus conductive to liquid-phase conduction of the ions inside the porous negative electrode and charge exchange of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, and then can further improve the kinetic performance of the battery. Optionally, mass content w1 of the second negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer may be larger than or equal to 96.9%, and is optionally 96.9%-97.4%.

The second negative electrode active material may be the inner core of the negative electrode active material provided in the above embodiments of the present application, that is, graphite. The second negative electrode active material does not have a coating layer, thereby enabling the battery to have higher energy density. Optionally, the mass content w1 of the first negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is larger than the mass content w2 of the second negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode film layer, and the mass content of the negative electrode binder in the first negative electrode film layer is smaller than the mass content of the negative electrode binder in the second negative electrode film layer. The negative electrode film layer is zoned, the mass content w1 of the first negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is larger than the mass content w2 of the second negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode film layer, and the mass content of the negative electrode binder in the first negative electrode film layer is smaller than the mass content of the negative electrode binder in the second negative electrode film layer, thereby reducing the problem of the negative electrode binder floating during slurry drying, and reducing the content of the negative electrode binder on the outer surface of the negative electrode film layer, which is thus conductive to liquid-phase conduction of the ions inside the porous negative electrode and charge exchange of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, and then can further improve the kinetic performance of the battery. Optionally, mass content w1 of the second negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer may be larger than or equal to 96.9%, and is optionally 96.9%-97.4%. Optionally, the mass content w2 of the second negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode film layer may be smaller than 96.9%, and is optionally 96.4%-96.8%. In some embodiments, compacted density of the negative electrode film layer may be 1.62 g / cm3-1.80 g / cm3, and is optionally 1.65 g / cm3-1.80 g / cm3. The negative electrode active material provided in the embodiments of the present application or the negative electrode active material prepared using the preparation method provided in the embodiments of the present application can enable the negative electrode film layer to have high compacted density. Compacted density of negative electrode film layer refers to a ratio of surface density of the negative electrode film layer to thickness of the negative electrode film layer. The surface density of the negative electrode film layer refers to a ratio of weight to coating area of the negative electrode film layer that is coated, dried, and rolled. The negative electrode film layer is generally formed by coating a negative electrode slurry on the negative electrode current collector, followed by drying and cold pressing. The negative electrode slurry is generally formed by dispersing the negative electrode active material, the negative electrode conductive agent, the negative electrode binder, and the other optional adjuvants in a solvent, and fully stirring the mixture. The solvent may be, but is not limited to, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or deionized water.

Comparative Example 2 The process for preparing a battery is same as that of Example 1 except for the preparation process of the negative electrode active material. (1) Preparation of a negative electrode active material The petroleum-based needle coke was crushed, shaped, and graded to obtain an aggregate; the resulting aggregate and a binder asphalt were mixed at a mass ratio of 100:8, and the mixture was transferred to a horizontal reactor for granulation by heating. Stepped heating and temperature holding process was adopted for the heating, and programmed heating platforms were set at 200C, 300C, and 600C respectively, i.e., at a constant temperature of 200C for 1 h, at a constant temperature of 300C for 2 h, and at a constant temperature of 600C for 2 h.

Testing (1) Raman spectrum test of the negative electrode active material The testing instrument is a high-precision Renishaw laser microscopic confocal Raman spectrometer at a laser wavelength of 532 nm. During testing, all-round surface scan was performed on an appropriate amount of a negative electrode active material sample with a scanning area of 100 pmx100 pm, a step size of 2 pm, and a total number of scanning points of 2500 points, thereby obtaining R values at different positions and a cumulative distribution curve of the R values. The R value refers to a ratio of a peak height of a D peak to a peak height of a G peak of Raman spectrum. The D peak is at a position of 1,350±50 cm-1, and the G peak is at a position of 1,585±50 cm-1. R50 is R value of 50% cumulative distribution from the lower limit. Raman spectrum test of graphite and a coating material was carried out using a method similar to the above. The coating material sample can be obtained by: performing carbonization on an appropriate amount of a liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent or a solid-phase coating agent under same carbonization condition as that in the examples and the comparative examples, and then grinding and sieving the resulting material to obtain the coating material sample. Among all of the obtained R values of the negative electrode active material, the proportion of the number of R values smaller than the R value R50, which corresponds to a cumulative distribution of 50%, of the graphite is denoted as an uncoating degree X of the negative electrode active material.

As can also be seen from the test result in Table 4, when the mass ratio of the graphite to the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent is between 100:3 and 100:7, the battery can better have high energy density, high cycling capacity retention rate, and high critical charge rate. As can also be seen from the test result in Table 4, as the mass of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent increases, the cycling performance of the battery will be further improved initially, and as the mass of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent further increases, the cycling performance of the battery will show a downtrend. This is because when the mass of the liquidphase hard carbon coating agent is small, a thin coating layer is formed. In this case, the coating layer can function to reduce the solvent co-intercalation phenomenon, thereby improving the cycling performance of the battery; and as the mass of the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent continuously increases, the thickness of the coating layer becomes larger. Due to a large number of pores and a plurality of side reactions in the coating layer, the cycling performance of the battery will show a downtrend.

The solid-liquid fusion parameters of the graphite and the liquid-phase hard carbon coating agent within an appropriate range can enable the negative electrode active material to have a smaller uncoating degree. When other conditions are same, the negative electrode active material has a small uncoating degree, thereby enabling the battery to have a higher critical charging rate, and enabling the battery to have better fast charge performance. Example 11 The process for preparing a battery is same as that of Example 1 except for the preparation process of the negative electrode plate. (2) Preparation of a negative electrode plate The negative electrode active material prepared in Example 1, a thickener sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a negative electrode binder styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), and a negative electrode conductive agent Super P were mixed at a mass ratio of 96.9:1.1:1.5:0.5, a solvent deionized water was added, and the mixture was fully stirred under the action of a vacuum stirrer to prepare a negative electrode slurry. The negative electrode slurry was uniformly coated on both surfaces of a negative electrode current collector copper foil. The negative electrode current collector coated with the slurry was air dried at room temperature, then transferred to a drying oven for drying, and then cold-pressed and cut to obtain the negative electrode plate. Thickness of a negative electrode film layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector is 58 gm. Table 7 Serial No. Critical charging rate Example 1 4.0C Example 11 3.6C As can be seen from the test result in Table 7, the negative electrode film layer is zoned, the mass content of the first negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is larger than the mass content of the second negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode film layer, and the mass content of the negative electrode binder in the first negative electrode film layer is smaller than the mass content of the negative electrode binder in the second negative electrode film layer, so that the battery can have a higher critical charging rate, thereby enabling the battery to have better fast charge performance. This is because the above arrangements can reduce the problem of the negative electrode binder floating during slurry drying, thereby reducing the content of the negative electrode binder on an outer surface of the negative electrode film layer, which is thus conductive to liquid-phase conduction of ions inside a porous negative electrode and charge exchange of the ions on the surface of the negative electrode active material, and then can enable the battery to have better fast charge performance.
