Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium battery technology, specifically to a positive electrode and a battery. Background Technology
[0002] The rapid development of technologies such as electric vehicles and electronic devices has led to a continuous increase in demand for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. As a crucial measure to improve battery energy density, the application of high-specific-capacity anode materials has also attracted increasing attention. However, compared to traditional graphite-based materials, high-specific-capacity anode materials exhibit larger initial irreversible capacity and lower cycle stability, severely impacting battery energy density and lifespan. Therefore, for the practical application of high-capacity anodes, there is an urgent need to develop commercially available pre-lithiation technologies to compensate for irreversible capacity losses during initial operation and cycling.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream pre-lithiation methods are mainly divided into two types: negative electrode pre-lithiation and positive electrode pre-lithiation. Negative electrode pre-lithiation primarily achieves lithium replenishment by directly contacting the electrode material with metallic lithium. However, due to the extremely reactive nature of lithium, the processing is difficult, costly, and risky, hindering large-scale commercialization. Therefore, using lithium replenishment additives for positive electrode pre-lithiation has become the preferred choice for most manufacturers. However, how to rationally utilize lithium replenishment additives in battery systems is a problem that needs to be solved in silicon-carbon negative electrode battery systems. Summary of the Invention

This invention, by controlling the lithium-replenishing additive and its dosage, enables the secondary battery incorporating the lithium-replenishing additive to maximize its lithium-replenishing effect while ensuring that the battery does not undergo lithium plating, thereby improving the battery's energy density and cycle performance.

[0047] In some embodiments, the electrolyte may optionally include additives. These additives may include negative electrode film-forming additives, positive electrode film-forming additives, and additives capable of improving certain battery performance characteristics, such as additives that improve battery overcharge performance, high-temperature performance, and low-temperature performance.
[0048] In some embodiments, the secondary battery also includes a separator. The separator is disposed between the positive and negative electrodes, serving as a barrier. The secondary battery of the present invention does not have particular limitations on the type of separator; any known porous separator used in secondary batteries can be selected. For example, the separator can be selected from one or more of the following: glass fiber film, non-woven fabric film, polyethylene film, polypropylene film, polyvinylidene fluoride film, and multilayer composite films comprising one or more of these materials.

[0051] Secondary batteries can be prepared using methods known in the art. For example, a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode are formed into an electrode assembly by a winding or stacking process, wherein the separator is positioned between the positive and negative electrode to provide isolation; the electrode assembly is placed in an outer package, an electrolyte is injected, and the package is sealed to obtain a secondary battery.

[0125] Negative electrode plate:
[0126] Based on the total mass of the negative electrode material layer, the formulation of the negative electrode material layer is: 64.6% graphite.
[0127] The coating of the anode active material (graphite + SiC) is composed of 27.7% SiC, 1.2% Super P, 5% PAA, 1.1% SBR, and 0.4% SWCNT (single-walled carbon nanotubes), with a coating areal density of 116 g / m³. 2The initial lithium insertion capacity of the negative electrode active material (graphite + SiC) is 793 mAh / g, and the initial lithium de-lithiation capacity is 659 mAh / g.
[0128] Other parameters of the positive / negative electrode plates are shown in Table 1.
[0129] The obtained positive electrode, negative electrode and PE separator are combined, and the battery preparation method is the same as in Example 5.
[0130] test
[0131] First full charge test: The stacked batteries prepared in each embodiment and each comparative example were tested at room temperature of 2522℃: 1CC to 4.2V, CV to 0.05C, and left to stand for 5 minutes. The fully charged batteries were then disassembled to observe whether lithium was deposited on the surface of the negative electrode.
[0132] Cyclic test: The stacked batteries prepared in the examples and comparative examples were tested at room temperature of 25-22°C: Step 1: 1CC to 4.2V, CV to 0.05C, Step 2: stand for 5 minutes, Step 3: 1DC to 2.8V, Step 4: stand for 5 minutes, Step 5: cycle Step 1 to Step 4 until the discharge capacity decays to 80% of the initial discharge capacity.

[0136] Comparing Example 5 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the addition of LFO lithium supplementation additive significantly improves cycle performance.
[0137] Comparing Example 5 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that when the initial lithium intercalation NP ratio is <1.01, the lithium ions extracted from the positive electrode for the first time cannot be completely intercalated by the negative electrode, resulting in lithium plating. Figure 1 For comparison example 2, photos of the electrode plates being disassembled after the first full charge are shown. Figure 2 This is a photograph of the electrode sheet being disassembled during the first full charge in Example 5.
[0138] Comparing Example 5 with Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that when the initial lithium removal NP ratio is <1.02, as the negative electrode decays during the cycling process, the lithium ions removed from the positive electrode cannot be completely filled by the effective vacancies of the negative electrode, resulting in lithium deposition after cycling, which in turn leads to accelerated cycle decay. Figure 3 The photos show the electrode plates after being fully charged and disassembled following a 300-cycle cycle as a comparative example. Figure 4 This is a photograph of the electrode sheet after being fully charged and disassembled following 300 cycles in Example 5.
