Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lithium iron phosphate batteries, and in particular to a formation method for a square aluminum shell lithium iron phosphate battery. Background Art

[0002] The properties of the SEI film greatly affect the performance of lithium-ion batteries. During the formation process, the amount of SEI film formed represents the amount of lithium consumed in the lithium-ion battery, directly determining the capacity of the lithium-ion battery. Therefore, during the formation of the SEI film, the less lithium consumed, the better, that is, the smaller the irreversible capacity loss. During the cycling process of lithium-ion batteries, if the electron isolation property of the SEI film is poor, electrons will come into contact with the electrolyte, and the reduction reaction will proceed further, consuming the lithium content in the battery. The SEI film is continuously formed, resulting in poor cycle life of the lithium-ion battery. When the SEI film is incompletely formed or decomposed, the lithium embedded in the negative electrode will react with the electrolyte and the binder to generate heat, and the reaction heat increases with the increase of the lithium intercalation amount, greatly affecting the safety of the battery. The SEI film has a direct or indirect impact on battery performance. Forming an SEI film that meets the requirements is extremely helpful for improving battery performance.

[0003] The formation temperature affects the reaction rate of the chemical reaction for forming the SEI film and the corresponding reaction products on the one hand; when the temperature rises, some components of the SEI film will decompose, causing the SEI film to rupture and further consuming the lithium stock to form a new SEI film. During the formation of the SEI film, EC directly generates ROCO2Li through a reduction reaction, and then ROCO2Li is converted into Li2CO3 while generating gas. The higher the temperature, the more intense this process is, the more gas is generated, and thus the more defect points are formed on the SEI film, and the thicker the formed SEI film. This provides more paths for the co-intercalation of lithium ions and solvated solvent molecules. Therefore, the passivation of the SEI film on graphite is further deepened, and the irreversible capacity loss of the battery increases.

[0004] CN202120716582.9 provides a vacuum liquid injection device for lithium battery processing, including a box body. Inside the box body, an injection assembly and a tray are sequentially arranged from top to bottom. The outer diameter of the liquid injection pipe is smaller than the aperture of the liquid injection hole. The piston rod pressure adjustment cavity is divided into a first pressure cavity and a second pressure cavity. The first pressure cavity is communicated with the liquid storage cavity, and the second pressure cavity is communicated with the adsorption cavity of the elastic adsorbent through a connecting pipe. Thus, during the liquid supply process, the gas in the original lithium battery liquid storage cavity is discharged into the second pressure cavity. When the liquid injection is completed, the pressure in the second pressure cavity is reduced by moving the piston, thereby removing the bubbles in the electrolyte in the lithium battery liquid injection cavity.

[0005] The liquid injection of lithium-ion batteries is mostly carried out under the condition of surface atmospheric pressure. When injecting liquid into lithium-ion batteries using a liquid injection tube, although the liquid can enter the interior of the lithium-ion batteries, due to the factors of the internal structure of the lithium-ion batteries, there are still air bubbles inside the lithium-ion batteries, resulting in incomplete liquid injection, affecting the quality of the batteries, and also affecting the completion of the formation process.
