Exemplarily, when the electrochemical device adopts a winding structure, the positive electrode tab has a bare aluminum foil at the end of the positive electrode tab and a bare aluminum foil at the end of the single-sided area of the positive electrode tab.
[0047] Since the fluorinated solvent can form an interface film on the surface of the negative electrode tab of the electrochemical device, it plays a good protective role on the negative electrode tab; and the fluorinated solvent can improve the thermal stability of the electrolyte, so in the related art, the fluorinated solvent is usually added to the electrolyte. With the increasing requirement for the performance of the electrochemical device, the voltage system is continuously improved, so the addition of the fluorinated solvent is continuously increased; and with the increase of the content of the fluorinated solvent, the risk of side reaction with silicon elements increases.
[0048] The inventors found that the aluminum foil inevitably carries silicon elements during the production process, and the silicon elements are prone to side reaction with the fluorinated solvent in the electrolyte. The products generated by the side reaction can be attached to the positive electrode current collector, affecting the deintercalation of active ions in the positive electrode tab, causing local precipitation of active ions in the positive electrode tab, and thus deteriorating the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the electrochemical device, and in severe cases, the electrochemical device may be cycled to failure.
[0049] In view of this, the inventors of the present application propose an electrochemical device, which adjusts the components of the electrolyte to reduce the risk of enrichment of the products generated by the reaction of silicon elements and the fluorinated solvent on the positive electrode current collector, thereby improving the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the electrochemical device.
[0050] Next, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail.
[0051] Electrochemical device
[0052] The first aspect of the present application provides an electrochemical device, the electrochemical device comprising an electrolyte, a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator film arranged between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheet comprising a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer arranged on the surface of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode current collector containing silicon elements, the mass content of the silicon elements being a% based on the mass of the positive electrode current collector. The electrolyte comprises a fluorinated solvent and an amine compound; the mass content of the fluorinated solvent is b% and the mass content of the amine compound is c% based on the mass of the electrolyte, and the electrochemical device satisfies: 0
[0053] It should be noted that when the positive electrode active material layer is arranged on the positive electrode current collector, part of the surface of the positive electrode current collector may not be covered by the positive electrode active material layer, and this part of the positive electrode current collector has a bare surface. The silicon elements contained in this part of the positive electrode current collector can be in direct contact with the electrolyte. When the electrochemical device contains silicon elements and a fluorinated solvent, a side reaction occurs between the silicon elements and the fluorinated solvent to generate a silicon-containing product. The introduction of the amine compound into the electrolyte can dissolve the silicon-containing product, thereby reducing the risk of local enrichment of the silicon-containing product on the positive electrode current collector and improving the overall interface performance of the positive electrode sheet, thereby improving the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the electrochemical device. Especially when the present application satisfies: 0
[0054] Illustratively, a / c can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, or any value within the range of any two of the above values.
[0055] Illustratively, b / c can be 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or any value within the range of any two of the above values.
[0056] In some embodiments, the electrochemical device further satisfies: 0 < a x b / c < 10. When the content of the amine compound, the fluorinated solvent and the silicon element satisfies the above range, the amine compound can further dissolve the silicon-containing product in the electrolyte, and further improve the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the electrochemical device. Optionally, 1 < a x b / c < 9, which can make the electrochemical device have better cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance. Exemplarily, a x b / c can be 0.2, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 4.5, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 9.8 or any value within a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0057] The inventors have further found that when the electrochemical device further satisfies at least one of the following conditions, the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the electrochemical device can be further improved.
[0058] In some embodiments, 0.03 < a < 0.18. When the mass content of the silicon element is within the above range, the risk of side reactions between the silicon element and the electrolyte can be reduced. Optionally, 0.06 < a < 0.15, which can make the electrochemical device have better cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance. Exemplarily, the mass content a% of the silicon element can be 0.03%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.08%, 0.10%, 0.12%, 0.15%, 0.17%, 0.18% or any value within a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0059] In some embodiments, 0.10 < b < 50. When the mass content of the fluorinated solvent is within the above range, the fluorinated solvent and the silicon element can have side reactions to a certain extent, but the extent of the side reactions is weak, which is conducive to reducing the generation of the silicon-containing product; on the other hand, the fluorinated solvent can form a dense and uniform solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the negative electrode tab, which plays a good protective role for the negative electrode tab. Optionally, 3 < b < 30, which can make the electrochemical device have better cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance. Exemplarily, the mass content b% of the fluorinated solvent can be 0.10%, 0.50%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50% or any value within a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0060] In some embodiments, 0.1≤c≤5.0. When the mass content of the amine compound is within the above range, the amine solvent can sufficiently dissolve the silicon-containing product in the electrolyte, reduce the risk of local enrichment of the silicon-containing product on the positive current collector to cause local precipitation of active ions, such as local lithium precipitation, and thus can improve the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the electrochemical device. Optionally, 0.8≤c≤4.0, which can make the electrochemical device have better cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance. For example, the mass content c% of the amine compound can be 0.1%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1.1%, 2.2%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 5%, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.
[0061] The inventors have further found that by specifically selecting the fluorinated solvent and the amine compound, the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the electrochemical device can be further improved.

[0086] In some embodiments, the positive current collector is a metal, for example, an aluminum foil, and the aluminum foil contains silicon elements.
[0087] The positive electrode sheet has various coating methods, such as positive electrode single-sided coating, positive electrode double-sided coating, etc.
[0088] Positive electrode single-sided coating: the positive current collector includes two surfaces opposite to each other along its own thickness direction, for example, the two surfaces include a first surface and a second surface, and the positive active material layer can be disposed on one of the two surfaces, for example, the first surface, and the other surface, for example, the second surface, is a bare surface. The second surface can be directly in contact with the electrolyte, which has the risk of side reactions with silicon elements and fluorinated solvents in the electrolyte. Alternatively, the positive active material layer is only disposed on the first surface, but when disposed on the first surface, it partially covers the first surface, i.e., the first surface still has a bare part, which also has the risk of side reactions with the electrolyte.

Alternatively, the positive electrode active material layer can partially cover the first surface and partially cover the second surface, and the first surface and the second surface both have a bare surface which has a risk of directly contacting the electrolyte to cause a side reaction. When the positive electrode double-sided coating is used, the positive electrode double-sided coating is asymmetric coating, that is, the area covered by the positive electrode active material layer on the first surface and the area covered by the positive electrode active material layer on the second surface are not completely the same. Exemplarily, the area (bare surface) in the second surface which is not covered by the positive electrode active layer is denoted as S1, with the unit of μm 2 ; the area covered by the positive electrode active material layer in the second surface is denoted as S2, with the unit of μm 2 ; the electrochemical device satisfies: S1 / S2≥0.03; optionally, 0.05≤S1 / S2≤0.1. Under the above coating mode, the bare area of the positive electrode current collector is relatively large, and the exposed silicon content is relatively high, which is prone to cause a side reaction with the electrolyte to generate a silicon-containing product, and the amine compound can basically dissolve the silicon-containing product, thereby improving the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the electrochemical device.
