Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery technology and relates to a lithium-ion battery. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, due to their advantages such as high energy density, high operating voltage, and no memory effect, are now widely used in everyday portable electronic products, power batteries, and energy storage systems. However, lithium-ion batteries are prone to safety accidents due to thermal runaway and other reasons. Currently, methods are being used to improve the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries, such as employing flame-retardant electrolytes, flame-retardant separators, solid electrolytes, coating active materials with flame-retardant substances, and applying safety coatings to the electrodes. However, a solution is needed that ensures safety without compromising the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries to address their safety concerns.

[0003] The safety coating is located between the current collector and the electrochemical active material layer, making electrolyte wetting difficult. Furthermore, the active material content in the safety coating is relatively low, and some active material particles are tightly encapsulated by binders and conductive agents. These factors make lithium ion insertion and extraction difficult within the active material of the coating. Lithium ions that cannot be inserted or extracted cannot provide both capacity and mass. Moreover, the main cost of the active material in the safety coating comes from lithium ions, resulting in a waste of lithium resources.

[0004] CN109755465A discloses an electrode sheet, an electrochemical device, and a safety coating. The electrode sheet includes a current collector, an electrode active material layer, and a safety coating disposed between the current collector and the electrode active material layer. The safety coating comprises a polyvinylidene fluoride and / or polyvinylidene chloride polymer matrix, a conductive material, and an inorganic filler. The active material in the coating has difficulty in lithium ion insertion and extraction; lithium ions that cannot be inserted and extracted cannot provide both capacity and mass. Furthermore, the main cost of the active material in the safety coating comes from lithium ions, resulting in a waste of lithium resources.

[0005] CN103059613A discloses a safety coating for lithium-ion batteries. The materials used in the safety coating are one or a mixture of alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates, and alkali metal bicarbonates. The disclosed safety coating has the functions of absorbing heat upon thermal decomposition, changing the crystal structure, or pulverizing and releasing water or carbon dioxide. It can reduce the battery temperature when the battery is overheated. However, the safety coating increases the battery impedance at room temperature, resulting in poor rate performance. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lithium-ion battery. This invention incorporates a safety coating in the positive electrode and a pre-lithiation material in the negative electrode. The safety coating is a lithium-free phosphate that is lithiated by the pre-lithiation material of the negative electrode during formation and cycling. With a reasonable system ratio, this design not only improves battery safety but also reduces battery cost and increases energy density. Furthermore, the negative electrode pre-lithiation material, while lithiating the phosphate material in the positive electrode safety coating, also replenishes the active lithium ions consumed in the formation of the SEI and CEI films at both the positive and negative electrodes, thereby increasing the battery's energy density.

Active materials with sites that cannot utilize capacity will not be lithiated. Through system optimization, the lithium ions released by the lithium replenishment material are precisely matched with the lithiated safety coating active material, which can reduce the quality of the safety coating and thus the battery quality. Since phosphates that cannot utilize capacity will not be lithiated, and the pre-lithiated material at the negative end has a high decomposition rate, and lithium is the most expensive element in lithium-ion batteries, system optimization to ensure that the lithium ions released by the lithium replenishment material are precisely matched with the lithiated safety coating active material can reduce the cost of new battery structures.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solution of the present invention will be further illustrated below through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way.

[0037] In the embodiments and comparative examples of this invention, the lithium-ion batteries were all prepared by the following method:

[0038] 1.1 Preparation of safety coating

[0039] A certain proportion of binder material, conductive agent material and inorganic filler are dispersed in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), stirred evenly, and then coated on the positive electrode current collector. After drying, a safety coating is obtained.

[0040] 1.2 Preparation of positive electrode with safety coating

[0041] Positive electrode sheet: 95% lithium cobalt oxide, 2% PVDF, 3% SP, and NMP are used as solvents. After stirring evenly, the mixture is coated on the safety coating on the surface of the positive current collector aluminum foil prepared by the method described in 1.1. After baking at 85°C, the positive electrode sheet is obtained by rolling, slitting, and baking at 85°C for 4 hours, followed by welding of electrode tabs and application of adhesive.

[0042] 1.3 Preparation of negative electrode with pre-lithiation material

A certain pressure is applied to the lithium foil and maintained for a period of time to complete the pre-lithiation. Finally, the tabs are soldered and adhesive is applied to obtain the negative electrode sheet.

[0073] Performance testing:

[0074] 1. Needle prick test:

[0075] Charge the secondary battery at 1C current to the charging cutoff voltage, then maintain constant voltage charging until the current drops to 0.05C, then stop charging. A high-temperature resistant steel needle (with a cone angle of 45° at the tip) is inserted through the battery at a speed of 25 mm / s from a direction perpendicular to the battery plates. The insertion point should be close to the geometric center of the pierced surface. The steel needle remains in the battery, and the battery is observed for 1 hour to see if there are any signs of combustion or explosion.

[0076] 2. Compression test:

[0077] The secondary battery is fully charged at 1C current to the charging cutoff voltage, then charged at a constant voltage until the current drops to 0.05C, at which point charging is stopped. The battery is placed between two planes and pressed perpendicular to the plates, with a pressing force of 13.0kN ± 0.78kN applied between the two plates. The pressing test is stopped once the pressure reaches its maximum value. The battery must not experience an external short circuit during the test.

[0078] 3. Cyclic performance test

[0079] The cycle test conditions are as follows: at 25℃, the secondary battery is subjected to a 1C / 1C cycle test. The charge and discharge voltage range is determined according to the battery system. The test is stopped when the capacity decays to 80% of the first discharge specific capacity.

[0080] 4. Capacity test:

[0081] At 25℃, charge at a constant current of 0.2C to the upper limit of the cutoff voltage, then charge at a constant voltage with a cutoff current of 0.02C; let stand for 10 minutes; discharge at a constant current of 0.2C to the lower limit of the cutoff voltage, and record the discharge capacity at a cutoff current of 0.02C, which is the cell capacity.

[0082] To reduce systematic errors, 50 batteries were fabricated for each embodiment and comparative example for testing, and the lifespan and capacity were averaged and rounded to the nearest integer.

[0083] The test results are shown in Table 1:

[0084] Table 1

[0086] As can be seen from Table 1, a comparison between Example 1 and Examples 2-3 shows that the thickness of the safety coating in the lithium-ion battery of the present invention affects its performance. When the thickness of the safety coating is controlled between 1 and 6 μm, the lithium-ion battery performs well. If the thickness of the safety coating is too large, the cycle life and capacity will be affected, and the battery thickness will also be affected, thus affecting the volumetric energy density. If the thickness of the safety coating is too small, the function of the safety coating cannot be realized.

[0087] Comparing Examples 1 and 4-5, it can be seen that in the lithium-ion battery of the present invention, the amount of pre-lithiation material added affects the battery performance. The capacity of the pre-lithiation material is C1, the capacity of the inorganic filler in the safety coating is C2, the capacity of the active material in the positive electrode active material layer is C3, and the first-time efficiency of the positive electrode minus the first-time efficiency of the negative electrode is η. C1 = λ*C2 + C3*η, where the lithium-ion battery has good performance when λ = 0.5 to 1. If λ is too large, it will lead to excessively rapid cycle life decay and seriously affect the safety test pass rate. This is because excessive active lithium leads to the formation of lithium dendrites during formation and cycling, resulting in capacity decay and easy internal short circuit. If λ is too small, it will affect the battery capacity.

[0088] A comparison of Examples 1 and 6-7 shows that in the lithium-ion battery of the present invention, the particle size of the inorganic filler in the safety coating affects the battery performance. If the particle size is too large, the lithium iron phosphate will be easily crushed during the rolling process, resulting in loss of electrical contact and affecting the battery performance. If the particle size is too small, the binder will encapsulate the active material, causing its capacity to be unable to be utilized.

[0089] A comparison of Examples 1 and 8 shows that using inert lithium powder or lithium foil as the pre-lithiation material can simultaneously lithilate the phosphate material in the positive electrode safety coating, replenish the active lithium ions consumed in the formation of the SEI and CEI films at both the positive and negative electrodes, thereby improving the battery energy density.

[0090] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, the present invention provides a safety coating in the positive electrode and a pre-lithiation material in the negative electrode. The safety coating is a lithium-free phosphate, which is lithiated by the pre-lithiation material of the negative electrode during formation and cycling. With a reasonable system ratio, this design can not only improve battery safety, but also reduce battery cost and increase energy density. While the pre-lithiation material of the negative electrode lithiates the phosphate material in the positive electrode safety coating, it can also replenish the active lithium ions consumed by the formation of the SEI film and CEI film of the positive and negative electrodes, thereby improving the battery energy density.

[0091] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, the energy density of the battery system in this invention is significantly lower than that of the system with pre-lithiation material without the addition of pre-lithiation material. This is because the pre-lithiation material can replenish the active lithium consumed by the SEI film and lithiate the iron phosphate.

[0092] The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
