Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sodium ion batteries, and in particular, relates to a composite battery cell suitable for sodium ion batteries and a sodium ion battery using the composite battery cell. Background Art

[0002] Mainstream sodium-ion battery positive electrode materials include layered transition metal oxides, polyanion compounds, and Prussian blue (white) compounds. Among them, layered transition metal oxide materials have high specific capacity, but poor cycle performance, polyanion compound materials have high redox potential and good cycle stability, but low capacity and poor conductivity, and Prussian blue (white) compound materials have excellent rate performance and low cost, but low capacity and poor cycle performance. It can be seen that there are differences in the performance of mainstream sodium-ion battery positive electrode materials, and with the diversification of user needs, a single sodium-ion battery positive electrode material is difficult to meet the needs.

[0003] However, due to the different material properties of different types of active materials, even if they are integrated into the same battery cell, they often cannot fully exert their material advantages due to uneven material mixing and unreasonable material matching. Based on this, how to integrate different active materials in the same battery cell and give full play to the synergistic advantages of the above active materials is still a difficult problem that the industry needs to solve urgently. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a composite battery cell suitable for sodium ion batteries and a sodium ion battery using the composite battery cell, so that mainstream sodium ion positive electrode active materials can be flexibly matched to meet various product requirements.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a composite cell suitable for sodium ion batteries is provided: the composite cell includes a positive electrode sheet, the number of types of positive electrode sheets is greater than 1, and in the positive electrode sheets, at least two positive electrode sheets contain different positive electrode active material components; the positive electrode sheet includes at least one of a first positive electrode sheet and a second positive electrode sheet; the first positive electrode sheet contains only one positive electrode active material; the second positive electrode sheet includes at least two positive electrode active materials; the composite cell also includes a negative electrode sheet and a separator, and in the composite cell, the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are arranged at intervals, and a separator is also provided between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The composite cell of the sodium ion battery provided by the present invention integrates at least two positive electrode active materials, and can flexibly adapt the composite cell to various different product requirements by selecting the types of positive electrode active materials used and adjusting the amounts of different types of positive electrode active materials.

[0006] Preferably, the positive active materials contained in the composite battery cell include at least two of layered transition metal oxide-based positive active materials, polyanion compound-based positive active materials, Prussian blue compound-based positive active materials, and Prussian white compound-based positive active materials. The positive active materials are used to construct the positive active coating of the positive electrode plate.

[0007] Preferably, the structural general formula of the above-mentioned layered transition metal oxide-based positive active material is Na x MO2, and the M element in the general formula includes at least one of Fe element, Co element, Ni element, Mn element, Cr element, Ti element, V element, and Zn element. Preferably, the above-mentioned polyanion compound-based positive active materials include those with the structural general formula of Na x M y (X a O b )Z w compounds, where M is at least one of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ca, Mg, Al, and Nb, X is at least one of Si, S, P, As, B, Mo, W, and Ge, and Z is at least one of F and OH.

[0008] Preferably, the above-mentioned polyanion compound-based positive active materials include at least one of olivine-type polyanion compounds, NASICON-type polyanion compounds, and fluorophosphate-type polyanion compounds.

[0009] Preferably, in the composite battery cell, the ratio K1 of the total capacity per unit area of any positive electrode plate to the total capacity per unit area of any other positive electrode plate is 0.9 to 1.1. The total capacity per unit area of each positive electrode plate is represented by formula I: In formula I, Sn represents the surface density of any positive active coating included in the positive electrode plate. In this positive active coating, Cm represents the gram capacity of any positive active material, Wm represents the mass percentage of this positive active material in this positive active coating, i represents the number of types of positive active materials included in each positive active coating, i is an integer greater than or equal to 1, k represents the number of positive active coatings included in each positive electrode plate, and k is an integer greater than or equal to 1. In the above composite battery cell, different positive electrode plates satisfy a specific K1 value range. Thus, different positive electrode plates basically reach a state of capacity balance, thereby being able to effectively alleviate other deterioration effects such as impedance generated between different types of positive active materials integrated in the composite battery cell. Based on this, the composite battery cell can give full play to the synergistic advantages of different positive active materials, making the energy density, rate performance, and cycle performance of the above composite battery cell be improved as a whole compared with the battery cell using a single positive active material.

[0010] Taking the first positive electrode plate and the second positive electrode plate as examples respectively, the operation modes of different formula Ⅰ are illustrated. Formula Ⅰ, For example, only one type of positive electrode active material is used in the first positive electrode plate. Using this positive electrode active material, a positive electrode active coating is provided on each side of the positive electrode current collector. The two positive electrode active coatings located on the two layers of the positive electrode current collector are symmetrically arranged. Taking the mass content of the positive electrode active material in one of the positive electrode active coatings as W1, the specific capacity of this positive electrode active material as C1, and the areal density of this positive electrode active coating as S1, the capacity of this positive electrode active coating is S1×W1×C1. Correspondingly, the capacity of the other positive electrode active coating is also calculated in the above manner. Since the two positive electrode active coatings are symmetrically arranged, the total capacity of the first positive electrode plate is 2×S1×W1×C1. For example, a first alternative implementation of the second positive electrode plate (arrangement of positive electrode active coatings: single-sided layered coating on the current collector, symmetrically arranged on both sides): The second positive electrode plate uses two types of positive electrode active materials, labeled as the first positive electrode active material and the second positive electrode active material. On one side of the positive electrode current collector, a first positive electrode active coating containing only the first positive electrode active material and a second positive electrode active coating containing only the second positive electrode active material are sequentially provided. Then, on the other side of the positive electrode current collector, positive electrode active coatings symmetric to the first positive electrode active coating and the second positive electrode active coating are correspondingly provided; on either side of the positive electrode current collector, taking the mass content of the first positive electrode active material in the first positive electrode active coating as W1, the specific capacity of this first positive electrode active material as C1, and the areal density of the first positive electrode active coating as S1, the capacity of the first positive electrode active coating is S1×W1×C1. Taking the mass content of the second positive electrode active material in the second positive electrode active coating as W2, the specific capacity of this second positive electrode active material as C2, and the areal density of the second positive electrode active coating as S2, the capacity of the second positive electrode active coating is S2×W2×C2. Correspondingly, the capacity of the positive electrode active coating on this side is (S1×W1×C1 + S2×W2×C2). In addition, the capacity of the positive electrode active coating located on the other side of the positive electrode current collector is also calculated in the above manner. Since the positive electrode active coatings provided on the other side of the positive electrode current collector are symmetric to the first positive electrode active coating and the second positive electrode active coating respectively, the total capacity of the first positive electrode plate is 2×(S1×W1×C1 + S2×W2×C2).For example, the second alternative embodiment of the second positive electrode plate (setting of the positive electrode active coating: single-sided layer coating or single-layer coating on the current collector, asymmetric setting on both sides): The second positive electrode plate uses three positive electrode active materials, labeled as the first positive electrode active material, the second positive electrode active material, and the third positive electrode active material. On one side of the positive electrode current collector, a first positive electrode active coating containing only the first positive electrode active material and a second positive electrode active coating containing only the second positive electrode active material are sequentially arranged, and then a third positive electrode active coating containing only the third positive electrode active material is arranged on the other side of the positive electrode current collector; on the side of the positive electrode current collector where a double-layer positive electrode active coating is arranged, if the mass content of the first positive electrode active material in the first positive electrode active coating is W1, the specific capacity of the first positive electrode active material is C1, and the areal density of the first positive electrode active coating is S1, then the capacity of the first positive electrode active coating is S1×W1×C1. If the mass content of the second positive electrode active material in the second positive electrode active coating is W2, the specific capacity of the second positive electrode active material is C2, and the areal density of the second positive electrode active coating is S2, then the capacity of the second positive electrode active coating is S2×W2×C2. Correspondingly, the capacity of the positive electrode active coating on this side is (S1×W1×C1 + S2×W2×C2); on the side of the positive electrode current collector where a single-layer positive electrode active coating is arranged, if the mass content of the third positive electrode active material in the third positive electrode active coating is W3, the specific capacity of the third positive electrode active material is C3, and the areal density of the third positive electrode active coating is S3, then the capacity of the first positive electrode active coating is S3×W3×C3; then the total capacity of the first positive electrode plate is (S1×W1×C1 + S2×W2×C2 + S3×W3×C3). For example, the third alternative embodiment of the second positive electrode plate (setting of the positive electrode active coating: single-sided single-layer coating on the current collector, symmetric setting on both sides): The second positive electrode plate uses two positive electrode active materials, labeled as the first positive electrode active material and the second positive electrode active material. A positive electrode active coating is arranged on each of the two sides of the positive electrode current collector using a slurry composed of a blend of the first positive electrode active material and the second positive electrode active material. The two positive electrode active coatings located on the two layers of the positive electrode current collector are symmetrically arranged. In one of the positive electrode active coatings, the mass content of the first positive electrode active material is W1, the specific capacity of the first positive electrode active material is C1, the mass content of the second positive electrode active material is W2, the specific capacity of the second positive electrode active material is C2, and the areal density of this positive electrode active coating is S1, then the capacity of this positive electrode active coating is S1×(W1×C1 + W2×C2). Correspondingly, the capacity of the other positive electrode active coating is also calculated in the above manner. Since the two positive electrode active coatings are symmetrically arranged, the total capacity of the second positive electrode plate is 2×(S1×(W1×C1 + W2×C2)).For example, the fourth optional embodiment of the second positive electrode sheet (arrangement of the positive electrode active coating: single-sided single-layer coating on the current collector, asymmetric arrangement on both sides): A first positive electrode active coating is provided on one side of the positive electrode active coating using a slurry composed of a blend of a first positive electrode active material and a second positive electrode active material, and then a second positive electrode active coating containing only the second positive electrode active material, a single positive electrode active material, is provided on the other side of the positive electrode current collector; in the first positive electrode active coating, the mass content of the first positive electrode active material is W1, the specific capacity of the first positive electrode active material is C1, the mass content of the second positive electrode active material is W2, the specific capacity of the second positive electrode active material is C2, the areal density of the first positive electrode active coating is S1, and the capacity of the first positive electrode active coating is S1×(W1×C1 + W2×C2); in the second positive electrode active coating, the mass content of the second positive electrode active material is W3, the specific capacity of the second positive electrode active material is C3, the areal density of the second positive electrode active coating is S2, and the capacity per unit area of the second positive electrode active coating is S2×W3×C3; the total capacity per unit area of this second positive electrode sheet is (S1×(W1×C1 + W2×C2) + S2×W3×C3).

[0011] Preferably, in the second positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode active coatings constructed using different types of positive electrode active materials are laminated and / or are respectively provided on both sides of the current collector of the first positive electrode sheet. Each layer of the positive electrode active coating of the second positive electrode sheet uses only one type of positive electrode active material, excluding the positive electrode active coating in which different types of positive electrode active materials are mixed with each other. Therefore, the situation where different types of positive electrode active materials are unevenly mixed due to differences in material properties, surface tension, etc. will not occur, thereby avoiding the deterioration effect caused by the uneven distribution of the positive electrode active materials in the same positive electrode active coating. When it is necessary to integrate two or more types of positive electrode active materials on the same positive electrode sheet, the method of laminating different types of positive electrode active materials on the same side or separately providing different types of positive electrode active materials on both sides of the current collector can achieve the effect of preventing different types of positive electrode active materials from mixing with each other.

Mark the resulting layered transition metal oxide type positive electrode plate as the asymmetric second positive electrode plate.

[0066] The structural schematic diagram of the asymmetric second positive electrode plate prepared above is as shown in Figure 5 the figure.

[0067] According to Equation Ⅰ Calculate the total capacity per unit area of the above positive electrode plate prepared in this example; in Equation Ⅰ, Sn represents the areal density of any positive electrode active coating included in the positive electrode plate. In this positive electrode active coating, Cm represents the specific capacity of any positive electrode active material, Wm represents the mass percentage of this positive electrode active material in this positive electrode active coating, i represents the number of types of positive electrode active materials included in each positive electrode active coating, i is an integer greater than or equal to 1, k represents the number of positive electrode active coatings included in each positive electrode plate, and k is an integer greater than or equal to 1. K1 involved in Table 1 is the ratio of the total capacity per unit area of positive electrode plate A to the total capacity per unit area of positive electrode plate B. In Equation Ⅰ, represents the capacity level per unit area of a certain positive electrode active coating in the positive electrode plate. After calculating the capacity per unit area of each positive electrode active coating separately, sum up the calculation results, that is, calculate according to to finally obtain the capacity level per unit area of the entire positive electrode plate.

[0068] For the first positive electrode plate, the calculation method of the total capacity is as follows: Taking the mass content of the positive electrode active material used in it in the first positive electrode active coating 1-1 as W1, the specific capacity of this positive electrode active material as C1, and the areal density of the first positive electrode active coating 1-1 as S1, then the capacity per unit area of the first positive electrode active coating 1-1 is S1×W1×C1. Correspondingly, the capacity of the second positive electrode active coating 1-2 is also calculated in the above manner. Since the first positive electrode active coating 1-1 and the second positive electrode active coating 1-2 are symmetrically arranged, the total capacity per unit area of this first positive electrode plate is 2×S1×W1×C1.

[0069] For the symmetrically layered-coated second positive electrode plate, the calculation method of its total capacity is as follows: On either side of the positive electrode current collector, taking the mass content of the positive electrode active material in the first positive electrode active coating 2-1 as W1, the specific capacity of this positive electrode active material as C1, and the areal density of the first positive electrode active coating 2-1 as S1, then the capacity per unit area of the first positive electrode active coating 2-1 is S1×W1×C1. Taking the mass content of the positive electrode active material in the second positive electrode active coating 2-2 as W2, the specific capacity of this positive electrode active material as C2, and the areal density of the second positive electrode active coating 2-2 as S2, then the capacity per unit area of the second positive electrode active coating 2-2 is S2×W2×C2. And, correspondingly, the capacity per unit area of the positive electrode active coating on this side is (S1×W1×C1 + S2×W2×C2). In addition, the capacity of the positive electrode active coating located on the other side of the positive electrode current collector is also calculated in the above manner. Since the positive electrode active coatings arranged on the other side of the positive electrode current collector are symmetric to the first positive electrode active coating 2-1 and the second positive electrode active coating 2-2 respectively, the total capacity per unit area of this first positive electrode plate is 2×(S1×W1×C1 + S2×W2×C2).

[0070] For the symmetrically co-doped second positive electrode plate, the calculation method of its total capacity is as follows: In one layer of the blended positive electrode active coating 4-1, the mass content of one kind of positive electrode active substance (the polyanion compound NaFePO4) is W1, the specific capacity of this positive electrode active substance is C1, the mass content of another kind of positive electrode active substance (the layered transition metal oxide NaMnO2) is W2, the specific capacity of this positive electrode active substance is C2, and the areal density of this layer of blended positive electrode active coating 4-1 is S1, then the capacity per unit area of this layer of blended positive electrode active coating 4-1 is S1×(W1×C1 + W2×C2). Correspondingly, the capacity of the other layer of blended positive electrode active coating 4-1 is also calculated in the above manner. Since the two layers of blended positive electrode active coatings 4-1 are symmetrically arranged, the total capacity per unit area of this second positive electrode plate is 2×(S1×(W1×C1 + W2×C2)).

[0071] For the asymmetric second positive electrode sheet, the calculation method of its total capacity is as follows: In the blended positive electrode active coating 5-1 containing multiple positive electrode active materials, the mass content of one positive electrode active substance (the polyanion compound NaFePO4) is W1, and its gram capacity is C1. The mass content of another positive electrode active substance (the layered transition metal oxide NaMnO2) is W2, and its gram capacity is C2. The areal density of the blended positive electrode active coating 5-1 is S1. Then, the capacity per unit area of the blended positive electrode active coating 5-1 is S1×(W1×C1 + W2×C2). In the single-phase positive electrode active coating 5-2 containing only one positive electrode active material, the mass content of the positive electrode active material (the polyanion compound NaFePO4) is W3, and the gram capacity of the third positive electrode active material is C3. The areal density of the single-phase positive electrode active coating 5-2 is S2. The capacity per unit area of the single-phase positive electrode active coating 5-2 is S2×W3×C3. The total capacity per unit area of this second positive electrode sheet is (S1×(W1×C1 + W2×C2) + S2×W3×C3).

[0076] In this example, different sodium-ion battery cells were prepared by using the different positive electrode sheets obtained in Example 1, negative electrode sheets, and separators.

[0077] The negative electrode sheet used in this example was prepared as follows: Hard carbon was used as the negative electrode active material, and the hard carbon, conductive agent acetylene black, binder sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) were mixed in a mass ratio of 94:1:2:3 to form a negative electrode coating slurry. Then, the above negative electrode coating slurry was respectively coated on two opposite side surfaces of the negative electrode current collector and dried, so as to form two symmetrically arranged layers of negative electrode active coatings on the two side surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.

[0078] The separator used in this example was a polyethylene film.

[0079] The positive electrode sheets prepared in Application Example 1 were combined with the above-mentioned negative electrode sheets prepared in this example in different combinations to construct sodium-ion battery cells, and the cells with different positive electrode sheet combinations were numbered. The specific grouping situations are shown in Table 2 and Table 3. Among them, the cells shown in Table 2 are single-combination cells that use only one type of positive electrode sheet, and the cells shown in Table 3 are composite cells that use two types of positive electrode sheets. Using the data shown in Table 1 for calculation, the capacity distribution per unit area of the positive electrode sheets of the composite cells with the positive electrode sheets combined is shown in Table 4. In Table 4, K1 is the ratio of the total capacity per unit area of positive electrode sheet A to the total capacity per unit area of positive electrode sheet B in the composite cell.

[0080] The sodium-ion battery using a single-combination cell was prepared as follows: 60 positive electrode sheets 6-1 and 61 negative electrode sheets 6-2 were used. The positive electrode sheets 6-1 and the negative electrode sheets 6-2 were arranged at intervals in turn, and each pair of electrode sheets was separated by a separator 6-3. A single-combination cell was obtained through a stacking or winding process. The structural schematic diagram of the single-combination cell is as Figure 6 shown; then the single-combination cell was placed in a battery case, and then the battery case was processed such as welding the electrode tabs and baking. After the moisture content was detected to be qualified, an appropriate amount of electrolyte was injected into the battery case, and it was encapsulated. Through aging, formation, and evacuation and encapsulation, a sodium-ion battery was prepared.

[0090] 1. Test object

[0091] In this test example, the sodium-ion battery prepared in Example 2 was used as the test object to conduct relevant performance tests.

[0092] 2. Test content

[0093] (1) Energy density

[0094] The tested sodium-ion battery was charged at a constant current and constant voltage of 0.33C to 4.25V, cut off at 0.02C, and then discharged at 0.33C to 2.8V. Record the capacity, average voltage and battery cell mass. Calculate the energy density of the sodium-ion battery according to the following formula: Energy density = Capacity * Average voltage / Battery mass.

[0095] (2) DC impedance

[0096] The tested sodium-ion battery was charged at a constant current and constant voltage of 0.33C to 4.25V, cut off at 0.02C, and then discharged at 0.33C for 90 min and left standing for 10 min. Record the voltage V1 at the end of standing; then discharge at 2C (current I) for 10 s and record the voltage V2 at the end of discharge.

[0097] (3) Cycle performance

[0098] The tested sodium-ion battery was placed in a 45°C constant temperature oven, charged at a constant current and constant voltage of 1C, cut off at 0.02C, and then discharged at 1C until the 80% SOH was reached, and record the number of cycles.

[0099] 3. Test results

[0100] The test results of this test example are shown in Table 5. In order to analyze the test results more intuitively, the tested battery cells will be grouped and discussed below according to the types of cathode active materials included in the battery cells.

[0101] Among the tested composite battery cells, the positive active materials used in composite battery cells 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 all include: the polyanion compound NaFePO4 with an olivine structure and a specific capacity of 100 mAh / g, and the layered transition metal oxide NaMnO2 with a specific capacity of 180 mAh / g. For single-combination battery cells, the positive active materials used in single-combination battery cells 1 and 2 are the polyanion compound NaFePO4 with an olivine structure and a specific capacity of 100 mAh / g, and the positive active materials used in single-combination battery cells 5 and 6 are both the layered transition metal oxide NaMnO2 with a specific capacity of 180 mAh / g. Therefore, taking single-combination battery cells 1, 2, 5, and 6 as references, the performance of composite battery cells 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 was analyzed. Compared with the reference single-combination battery cells that each only use one type of positive active material, by integrating different types of positive active materials in the same battery cell, composite battery cells 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 can make the obtained composite battery cells have better cycling characteristics than single-combination battery cells that only contain one type of positive active material. At the same time, the energy density and DC impedance value of these combined battery cells can be maintained at an applicable level, and there is no situation of a sharp drop in energy density or a sharp increase in DC impedance compared with single-combination battery cells. Among them, the battery cells used in composite battery cell 1 and composite battery cell 2 both belong to the first positive electrode plates where each plate only contains one type of positive active material. However, through the data shown in Table 4, composite battery cell 1 meets the condition that the ratio of the total capacity per unit area of any two positive electrode plates is within the range of 0.9 to 1.1, while composite battery cell 2 does not meet the above condition. And the data shown in Table 5 indicates that the comprehensive performance of composite battery cell 1 is better than that of composite battery cell 2. On the other hand, composite battery cells 5 to 9 all include the second positive electrode plates containing two types of positive active materials. Among these composite battery cells: the second positive electrode plates included in composite battery cells 5, 6, and 7 do not have a positive active coating containing a blend of multiple positive active materials. The second positive electrode plates used in these composite battery cells obtain the second positive electrode plates with different types of positive active materials distributed in different active coatings by means of co-lateral layer coating to construct the positive active coating or by separating the positive active coatings containing different positive active materials on both sides of the current collector. Among these positive electrode plates; while the second positive electrode plates included in composite battery cells 8 and 9 both have at least one positive active coating prepared by blending more than one positive active material. Different types of positive active materials have certain differences in material properties. For example, their surface stress conditions are inconsistent, which makes the dispersion uniformity of the system containing a blend of different types of positive active materials lower than that of the system only containing the same type of positive active material. And if there is uneven distribution between different positive active materials, it is easy to make the coating of the positive active paste difficult and will also have a certain adverse impact on the electrical properties of the formed positive active coating.By comparison, among the composite battery cells 5-9, the measured number of cycle times of the composite battery cells 5-7 is higher than that of the composite battery cells 8 and 9 respectively, which precisely illustrates the above problem.

[0102] Among the tested composite battery cells, the positive active materials used in the composite battery cells 3 and 4 both include: the polyanion compound NASICON with a specific capacity of 120 mAh / g and the Prussian blue compound Na2Fe[Fe(CN)6] with a specific capacity of 150 mAh / g. Regarding the single composite battery cells, the positive active material used in the single composite battery cells 3 and 4 is the polyanion compound NASICON with a specific capacity of 120 mAh / g, and the positive active materials used in the single composite battery cells 7 and 8 are both the Prussian blue compound Na2Fe[Fe(CN)6] with a specific capacity of 150 mAh / g. Therefore, taking the single composite battery cells 3, 4, 7, and 8 as references, the performance of the composite battery cells 3 and 4 is analyzed.

[0103] Compared with the reference single composite battery cells that only use one type of positive active material respectively, by integrating different types of positive active materials in the same battery cell, the composite battery cells 3 and 4 can endow the obtained composite battery cells with better cycle characteristics than the single composite battery cells that only contain one type of positive active material. At the same time, the energy density and DC impedance value of these composite battery cells can be maintained at an applicable level, without the situation of a sharp drop in energy density or a sharp increase in DC impedance compared with the single composite battery cells. The battery cells used in the composite battery cell 3 and the composite battery cell 4 both belong to the first positive electrode plate in which each piece only contains one type of positive active material. However, through the data shown in Table 4, the ratio of the total capacity per unit area of any two positive electrode plates of the composite battery cell 3 belongs to the range of 0.9-1.1, while the composite battery cell 4 does not meet the above conditions. And the data shown in Table 5 indicates that the comprehensive performance of the composite battery cell 3 is better than that of the composite battery cell 4.
