[0027] To better illustrate the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0028] In this invention, the technical features described in an open-ended manner include both closed-ended technical solutions composed of the listed features and open-ended technical solutions that include the listed features.

[0029] In this invention, numerical ranges are involved. Unless otherwise specified, the numerical ranges are considered continuous and include the minimum and maximum values ​​of the range, as well as every value between the minimum and maximum values. Furthermore, when the range refers to integers, it includes every integer between the minimum and maximum values ​​of the range. Additionally, when multiple ranges are provided to describe features or characteristics, the ranges may be merged. In other words, unless otherwise specified, all ranges disclosed herein should be understood to include any and all subranges to which they are included.

[0030] In this invention, there are no particular limitations on the specific dispersion and stirring methods.

[0031] Unless otherwise specified, all reagents or instruments used in this invention are commercially available products.

[0032] To address the problem of Mn leaching leading to deterioration of the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries in existing technologies.

[0033] This invention provides a lithium-ion battery, including a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The negative electrode includes a negative current collector and a negative active material layer disposed on at least one surface of the negative current collector.

[0034] The manganese content in the negative electrode sheet is ≤331ppm;

[0035] In the infrared spectrum of the negative electrode active material layer, the range is 1000–1050 cm⁻¹. -1 It has an absorption peak within the range, and has an absorption peak in at least one of the following ranges: 530–620 cm⁻¹ -1 1068~1190cm -1 650~900cm -1 1590~1650cm -1 3400~3500cm -1 1720~1770cm -1 2995~3030cm -1 3072~3100cm-1 3150~3300cm -1 .

[0036] In this invention, the manganese content deposited on the negative electrode of the lithium-ion battery is low, thereby reducing the damage to the formation of the SEI film on the negative electrode and enabling the lithium-ion battery to have a high cycle life and storage performance.

[0037] The inventors discovered that when the infrared absorption peak of the negative electrode active material layer is within the range given above, the battery can have a higher cycle life and storage performance, and further reduce the gas generation problem of the secondary battery during charge and discharge cycles.

[0038] In one embodiment, the manganese content in the negative electrode is ≤299ppm.

[0039] In one embodiment, the manganese content in the negative electrode sheet is 157–234 ppm.

[0040] In one embodiment, the negative electrode active material layer includes a negative electrode active substance and a negative electrode additive, the negative electrode additive having a structure as shown in formula (1):

[0041]

[0042] Wherein, n is an integer from 10 to 10000, and at least one of the groups R1, R2, and R3 is selected from a first polar functional group, which includes one or more of -OH, -COOH, -CH2COOH, -SO3H, and -NH2.

[0043] In one embodiment, in the negative electrode additive, the groups in R1, R2, and R3 that are not first polar functional groups are each independently selected from second polar functional groups, including -CHO, -NHR, and -[-O-]-. m At least one of -COOX and -SO3X; wherein X in -COOX and -SO3X is independently selected from alkali metal elements, and R in -NHR is selected from C1 to C6 alkyl groups, wherein -[-O-]- m In this case, m is a positive integer between 2 and 20.

[0044] The negative electrode additive of this invention is a water-soluble compound with a cyclic structure and containing polar functional groups. In the negative electrode active material layer, the negative electrode additive can form a network structure through the interaction of chemical bonds and hydrogen bonds, thereby encapsulating the negative electrode active material. The network structure of the negative electrode additive serves both as a binder, ensuring the structural integrity of the negative electrode at high temperatures and during charge-discharge processes, and as a barrier against Mn. 2+ Its function is to prevent the negative electrode from reacting with dissolved Mn.2+ Direct contact. Through the combined effect of bonding and insulating properties, the lithium-ion battery of the present invention exhibits excellent cycle life and storage performance, and the gas generation problem of the secondary battery during charge-discharge cycles is also improved.

[0045] The hydrogen bonding in the negative electrode additive primarily originates from the polar functional groups R1, R2, and R3. Higher polarity of R1, R2, and R3 results in stronger hydrogen bonding forces and a more compact and robust network structure formed by the negative electrode additive, leading to stronger adhesion and better barrier properties for the negative electrode active material. Simultaneously, the polarity of R1, R2, and R3 also affects the water solubility of the negative electrode additive. A negative electrode additive with better water solubility can be more uniformly dispersed in the negative electrode active material layer of this invention, further enhancing the adhesion and barrier properties provided by the negative electrode additive.

[0046] Hydroxyl (-OH), carboxyl (-COOH), sulfonic acid (-SO3H), and amino (-NH2) groups, as polar functional groups, possess relatively higher polarity, resulting in stronger hydrogen bonds in the network structure formed by the negative electrode additive. Therefore, when the negative electrode additives R1, R2, and R3 contain -OH, -COOH, -CH2COOH, -SO3H, or -NH2, the electrochemical performance of the lithium-ion battery is better.

[0047] In one embodiment, X in -COOX and -SO3X is independently selected from Li, Na, or K.

[0048] In one embodiment, the negative electrode additive has a structure as shown in formula (2), formula (3) or formula (4):

[0049]

[0050] In one embodiment, n in the negative electrode additive is an integer between 100 and 5000.

[0051] In one embodiment, n in the negative electrode additive is an integer from 100 to 1000.

[0052] The value of n in negative electrode additives affects their dispersion. Higher n values ​​result in larger molecular weights, higher polymerization degrees, higher viscosity, relatively lower water solubility, and slightly poorer dispersion performance. Lower n values ​​lead to slightly poorer stability. The inventors have found that when n is in the range of 100–1000, the overall water solubility, dispersibility, and stability are optimal.

[0053] In one embodiment, the method for preparing the negative electrode additive includes the following steps:

[0054] Using α-glucan oligosaccharides as raw materials, an intermediate product containing R1, R2, and R3 groups was obtained through a functional group substitution reaction.

[0141] Performance testing

[0142] The electrochemical performance of the lithium-ion batteries prepared in the above application examples was tested, and the specific methods and results are as follows:

[0143] (1) First Coulomb efficiency test

[0144] An uncharged lithium-ion battery is charged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to a voltage of 4.25V under a constant temperature environment of 25℃. It is then charged at a constant voltage of 4.25V until the current is less than or equal to 0.05C. After resting for 5 minutes, the initial charge capacity is recorded as CapC. Next, it is discharged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to a voltage of 2.8V. The initial discharge capacity is recorded as CapD. The initial coulombic efficiency is equal to the initial discharge capacity divided by the initial charge capacity, i.e., η = CapD / CapC × 100%.

[0145] (2) High-temperature storage test

[0146] The lithium-ion battery was charged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to a voltage of 4.25V under a constant temperature environment of 25℃, and then charged at a constant voltage rate of 4.25V until the current was less than or equal to 0.05C. After that, it was left to stand for 5 minutes. At this point, the battery was in a fully charged state, and the thickness of the battery at this time was measured, which is the initial thickness of the battery, denoted as T0. Then, it was discharged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to a voltage of 2.8V. The discharge capacity at this point is the initial discharge capacity, denoted as C0.

[0147] After completing the above steps, the battery is charged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to a voltage of 4.25V in a constant temperature environment of 25℃. Then, it is charged at a constant voltage of 4.25V until the current is less than or equal to 0.05C, and then left to stand for 5 minutes. At this point, the battery is fully charged. The fully charged battery is then placed in a high-temperature oven at 60℃ for high-temperature storage testing for 72 hours. After storage, the battery is removed from the oven and left to stand at room temperature for 2 hours. After it has completely cooled down, the thickness is measured, which is the final thickness, denoted as T1. Then, it is discharged at a constant current rate of 0.1C to a voltage of 2.8V. The discharge capacity at this point is the final discharge capacity, denoted as C1.

[0148] Among them, the battery capacity retention rate is the completed discharge capacity divided by the initial discharge capacity, i.e., η = C1 / C0 × 100%. The battery thickness expansion rate is the difference between the completed thickness and the initial thickness, divided by the initial thickness, i.e., thickness expansion rate (Swelling) = (T1 - T0) / T0 × 100%.

[0149] (3) High-temperature cycling performance test

[0150] The lithium-ion battery underwent high-temperature cycle performance testing at a constant temperature of 45℃. The charge / discharge conditions were as follows: constant current charging at a 1C rate to a voltage of 4.25V, then constant voltage charging at 4.25V until the current is less than or equal to 0.05C, followed by a 10-minute rest period. Then, constant current discharging at a 1C rate to a constant voltage of 2.8V, followed by another 10-minute rest period, constituted one charge / discharge cycle. The capacity of the first discharge was recorded as the initial discharge capacity, denoted as C0. This charge / discharge cycle was repeated thereafter, with the discharge capacity recorded for each cycle, denoted as Cn, and the capacity retention rate at that cycle number n was calculated. The battery's capacity retention rate is the discharge capacity per cycle divided by the initial discharge capacity, i.e., η = Cn / C0 × 100%. When the discharge capacity retention rate drops to 80%, the number of cycles at this point is the cycle life.

[0151] The test results for the application examples are shown in Table 2.

[0152] (4) Manganese dissolution test of negative electrode sheet

[0153] ICP testing was performed on samples of the negative electrode to detect the manganese content in the negative electrode. The lower the detected amount, the better the control over manganese leaching.

[0154] ICP testing method for anode materials: Reference standards: EPA6010D-2018 Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry and GB / T 24533-2019 Graphite-based anode materials for carp-ion batteries. Sample weight: 0.5g; Digestion reagent: 10mL nitric acid; Digestion method: Microwave digestion (microwave digestion settings: 10min to 400W, hold for 3min, continue for 10min to 700W, hold for 30min, then cool to 70℃); Diluent: Pure water; Volume adjustment: 50mL; Quantitative method: Calibration curve method; Test procedure: Digest the sample using the digestion reagent and microwave digestion method; after digestion, transfer 1mL of solution and dilute with pure water to 50mL; perform calibration curve method test on the diluted solution, see reference standards for details.

[0158] Based on the test results in Table 2, it can be seen that:

[0159] The initial coulombic efficiency test results show that the initial coulombic efficiency of the lithium-ion battery is significantly improved when the negative electrode additive prepared according to the embodiments of the present invention is added to the negative electrode sheet. The test results of Application Examples 1, 12-15, 19, and 20 show that the additive described in this invention has an improving effect when used with LMFP positive electrode materials of different manganese-iron ratios. The structural formula is LiMn. 0.6 Fe 0.4 The LMFP cathode material of PO4 exhibited the highest initial coulombic efficiency.

[0160] The high-temperature storage test results show that the storage performance of lithium-ion batteries is significantly improved when the negative electrode additive prepared according to the embodiments of the present invention is added to the negative electrode sheet. The improvement in thickness expansion rate indicates that the addition of the negative electrode additive effectively suppresses high-temperature gas generation in the battery. The test results of Application Examples 1, 12-15, 19, and 20 show that the additive described in this invention has an improving effect when used with LMFP positive electrode materials of different manganese-iron ratios. When the manganese-iron ratio is in the range of 4:6 to 6:4, the battery storage performance is not significantly different. As the manganese-iron ratio further increases, the battery storage performance gradually deteriorates, but it is still better than Application Example 19 without the negative electrode additive.

[0161] The high-temperature cycle performance test results show that when the negative electrode additive prepared according to the embodiments of the present invention is added to the negative electrode sheet, the cycle life of the battery is significantly improved. From the test results of Application Examples 1, 12-15, 19, and 20, it can be seen that the additive described in this invention has an improving effect when used with LMFP positive electrode materials of different manganese-iron ratios. When the manganese-iron ratio is in the range of 4:6 to 6:4, the high-temperature cycle performance of the battery is not significantly different. When the manganese-iron ratio is further increased, the battery cycle performance gradually deteriorates, but it is still better than Application Example 19 without the negative electrode additive.

[0162] According to the manganese leaching test results of the negative electrode sheet, when the negative electrode additive prepared in the embodiments of the present invention is added to the negative electrode sheet, the manganese content in the negative electrode sheet is significantly reduced. In application examples 1 to 18, the manganese content in the negative electrode sheet is ≤331ppm, and in some application examples, the manganese content in the negative electrode sheet is ≤299ppm.

[0163] Based on the test results of Application Examples 1 to 8, and in conjunction with Examples 1 to 8, it can be seen that when the negative electrode additive contains hydroxyl (-OH), carboxyl (-COOH), sulfonic acid (-SO3H), and amino (-NH2) as polar functional groups, the resulting lithium-ion battery exhibits better electrochemical performance.

[0164] Based on the test results of Application Examples 1, 9-11, and 17-18, it can be seen that when the mass ratio of negative electrode active material, conductive agent, thickener, and negative electrode additive in the negative electrode active material layer meets the range of (95-97):(0.8-1):(0.8-1.2):(1.5-1.8), the electrochemical performance of the lithium-ion battery is relatively better.

[0165] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
