Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of batteries, and in particular to a negative electrode sheet and a battery comprising the negative electrode sheet. Background Art
[0002] The rapid development of portable electronics and electric vehicles has led to an increasing demand for high energy density and long lifespan in lithium-ion batteries. Conventional graphite anode materials are no longer able to meet these high-performance requirements, prompting researchers to search for novel anode materials. Silicon-based anode materials, with their high theoretical specific capacity, low discharge plateau, and environmentally friendly properties, are considered one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.
[0003] However, silicon-based negative electrode materials undergo huge volume expansion during the charge and discharge process, leading to electrode pulverization; in addition, the low conductivity and slow Li+ diffusion kinetics of silicon-based negative electrode materials may lead to huge local mechanical stress, causing the silicon-based negative electrode materials to fall off from the current collector and lose electrical contact, thereby leading to an increase in cracks.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to improve the above-mentioned problems of silicon-based negative electrode materials and invent a battery with both high energy density and long service life. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The following is a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0020] The first aspect of the present invention provides a negative electrode sheet, which may include a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active coating on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector. Figure 1 The figure shows a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a negative electrode sheet in an embodiment of the present invention, wherein Figure 1 (a) The negative electrode active coating is set on one side; Figure 1 (b) and Figure 1 (c) is the case where the negative electrode active coating is installed on both sides. Figure 1 In (a), the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector 1 and a negative electrode active coating 2 on one side of the negative electrode current collector 1; Figure 1 (b) and Figure 1 In (c), the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector 1 and a negative electrode active coating 2 on both sides of the negative electrode current collector 1.
[0021] The negative electrode active coating may include a negative electrode active material and a conductive agent, the negative electrode active material may include a silicon-based material, the conductive agent may include a conductive material having a two-dimensional layered structure, the interlayer spacing of the conductive material having a two-dimensional layered structure is D (in nm), and the stripping energy of the conductive material having a two-dimensional layered structure is N (in eV / unit cel), satisfying 0.4≤D / N≤10 (in unit cel·nm / eV), for example, D / N is equal to 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10.
[0022] At present, in order to improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, the most commonly used means is to use silicon-based materials with higher theoretical specific capacity as negative electrode materials. However, silicon-based materials will produce a large volume expansion during the charge and discharge cycle, resulting in the problem of structural rupture of the silicon-based material itself and the problem of silicon-based materials falling off from the current collector, thereby reducing the cycle life and safety of the battery; In addition, the conductivity of the silicon-based material itself is poorer than that of the carbon material, which is not conducive to the effective release of the battery capacity (especially under high rate conditions). The inventors of the present invention have found that when a conductive material with a two-dimensional layered structure is used as a conductive agent, the conductive agent with the two-dimensional layered structure has good conductivity, mechanical strength and a stable layered structure, which can significantly improve the conductivity of the silicon-based material, and its two-dimensional layered structure has a confining effect, which can inhibit the volume expansion of the silicon-based material to a certain extent, thereby improving the structural stability of the silicon-based material; and when the interlayer spacing and / or peeling energy of the two-dimensional layered structure of the conductive agent is within a specific range, it can further inhibit the volume expansion of the silicon-based material without affecting the conductive performance and stability. The inventors of the present invention further discovered that when the interlayer spacing and exfoliation energy of the two-dimensional layered structure of the conductive agent satisfy a specific relationship, the volume expansion of the silicon material can be further suppressed. The reason may be that: when the ratio of the two is small (for example, less than 0.4), no space can be provided for the silicon-based material, thereby reducing the amount of active sites; and when the ratio of the two is large (for example, greater than 10), the limiting effect on the volume expansion of the silicon-based material is small.
[0023] In one example, 1≤D / N≤4.5.
[0024] In the present invention, the interlayer spacing D of the conductive material having a two-dimensional layered structure can be obtained by a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation method, and the stripping energy N of the conductive material having a two-dimensional layered structure can be calculated by VASP software.
[0025] In the present invention, 0.2 nm ≤ D ≤ 1 nm, for example, 0.2 nm, 0.3 nm, 0.4 nm, 0.5 nm, 0.6 nm, 0.7 nm, 0.8 nm, 0.9 nm or 1 nm.
[0026] In one example, 0.3 nm ≤ D ≤ 0.7 nm.
[0027] The inventors of the present invention have discovered that when D is within a specific range, the volume expansion of the silicon-based material can be further suppressed without affecting the conductive performance and stability.
[0028] In the present invention, 0.1 eV / unit cell ≤ N ≤ 0.8 eV / unit cell, for example, 0.1 eV / unit cell, 0.2 eV / unit cell, 0.3 eV / unit cell, 0.4 eV / unit cell, 0.5 eV / unit cell, 0.6 eV / unit cell, 0.7 eV / unit cell or 0.8 eV / unit cell.
[0029] In one example, 0.15 eV / unit cell ≤ N ≤ 0.3 eV / unit cell.
[0030] The inventors of the present invention have found that when N is within a specific range, the volume expansion of the silicon-based material can be further suppressed without affecting the electrical conductivity and stability.
[0031] In the present invention, the silicon-based material may include at least one of silicon, silicon carbide, silicon oxide (SiO
[0037] ,
[0036] , ,
[0035] , , , where 0 < x < 2) and silicon alloy.
[0032] In the present invention, the "silicon carbide" has its conventional meaning in the art, and generally, the "silicon carbide" refers to a composite material of silicon and carbon.
[0033] In one example, the silicon-based material includes nano-silicon.
[0034] In the present invention, the mass of the silicon-based material may account for 0.01% - 100% of the mass of the negative electrode active material, for example, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 100%.
[0035] Due to the large volume expansion of the silicon negative electrode, the prior art usually uses a small amount of silicon-based material in combination with a large amount of carbon-based material as the negative electrode active material, or uses the carbon-based material to modify the silicon-based material and then uses it as the negative electrode active material. The inventors of the present invention have found through extensive research that using a conductive material with a two-dimensional layered structure in combination with the silicon-based material can significantly suppress silicon expansion, thereby increasing the mass ratio of the silicon-based material in the negative electrode active material and improving the energy density of the battery.
[0036] In one example, the mass of the silicon-based material accounts for 95% - 100% of the mass of the negative electrode active material.
[0037] In the present invention, the mass of the conductive material having a two-dimensional layered structure may account for 0.01%-100% of the mass of the conductive agent, for example, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 100%.
[0038] In one example, the mass of the conductive material having a two-dimensional layered structure accounts for 95%-100% of the mass of the conductive agent.
[0039] The inventors of the present invention have discovered that when the mass of the conductive material having a two-dimensional layered structure accounts for a mass of the conductive agent within a specific range, the conductive performance can be improved and the volume expansion of the silicon-based material can be further suppressed.
[0040] In the present invention, the ratio of the mass of the silicon-based material to the mass of the conductive agent can be (0.1-10):1, for example, 0.1:1, 0.2:1, 0.3:1, 0.4:1, 0.5:1, 0.6:1, 0.7:1, 0.8:1, 0.9:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1 or 10:1.
[0041] The inventors of the present invention have found that when the ratio of the mass of the silicon-based material to the mass of the conductive agent is within a specific range, a battery including the negative electrode sheet has a more excellent cycle life.
[0042] In one example, the ratio of the mass of the silicon-based material to the mass of the conductive agent is (0.5-3):1.
[0043] In one example, the ratio of the mass of the silicon-based material to the mass of the conductive agent is (0.8-1.4):1.
[0044] In the present invention, the negative electrode active coating layer may further include a binder, and the binder may include at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride, polyacrylic acid, and styrene-butadiene rubber.
[0045] In the present invention, based on the total weight of the negative electrode active coating, the content of the silicon-based material may be 8.19-90.45 wt % (e.g., 8.19, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 90.45 wt %), the content of the conductive agent may be 8.19-90.45 wt % (e.g., 90.45, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 or 8.19 wt %), and the content of the binder may be 0.5-10 wt % (e.g., 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0.5 wt %).
[0046] In one example, based on the total weight of the negative electrode active coating, the content of the silicon-based material is 43.5-57.7 wt %, the content of the conductive agent is 41.3-54.5 wt %, and the content of the binder is 1-2 wt %.
[0047] In the present invention, the negative electrode current collector may include a negative electrode current collector commonly used in the art, such as copper foil.
[0048] The inventors of the present invention have discovered that when the thermal decomposition temperature of the negative electrode sheet is within a specific range, the negative electrode sheet is safe and stable. The reason may be that the conductive material with a two-dimensional layered structure used in the present invention will participate in the formation of the SEI film during the battery formation and cycling process, and through its own rigid structure (providing rigid support to the SEI film), thermal stability (high thermal failure temperature: 200°C-1600°C) and huge surface energy (the two-dimensional layered structure has a large bonding area with other components that form the SEI film and is firmly bonded), it increases the thermal stability of the SEI film, thereby improving the safety and stability of the negative electrode sheet.
[0049] In the present invention, the thermal decomposition temperature of the negative electrode sheet can be 200°C-1600°C, for example, 200°C, 250°C, 300°C, 350°C, 400°C, 450°C, 500°C, 550°C, 600°C, 650°C, 700°C, 750°C, 800°C, 850°C, 900°C, 950°C, 1000°C, 1050°C, 1100°C, 1150°C, 1200°C, 1250°C, 1300°C, 1350°C, 1400°C, 1450°C, 1500°C, 1550°C or 1600°C.
[0050] In the present invention, the thermal decomposition temperature of the negative electrode sheet can be tested by conventional methods in the art, for example, the following method can be used for testing: using a thermogravimeter with a heating rate of 10° C. / min.
[0051] In the present invention, the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet can be 0.6 g / cm 3 -1.7g / cm 3 , for example 0.6 g / cm 3 , 0.7g / cm 3 , 0.8g / cm 3 , 0.9g / cm 3 , 1g / cm 3 , 1.1g / cm 3 , 1.2g / cm 3 , 1.3g / cm 3 , 1.4g / cm 3 , 1.5g / cm 3 , 1.6g / cm3 or 1.7 g / cm 3 .
[0052] Currently, the method used in related technologies to alleviate the volume expansion of silicon-based materials generally involves reserving space, which reduces the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet, thereby reducing the structural strength of the negative electrode sheet. The inventors of the present invention have discovered that the use of the conductive agent with a two-dimensional layered structure of the present invention can limit the expansion of silicon-based materials without reducing the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet. The inventors of the present invention have further discovered that when the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet is within a specific range, the negative electrode sheet has a higher energy density and can store more energy at the same volume, making it suitable for miniaturized applications. It has a higher structural strength, which can improve the mechanical properties, drop resistance and durability of the battery. In addition, it can also improve the irreversible expansion of the silicon-based material volume, thereby increasing the service life of the battery.
[0053] As the charge and discharge cycles progress, the volume of silicon-based materials continues to expand, accompanied by the rupture of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the surface of the silicon material. This unstable SEI is repeatedly formed and accompanied by the continuous consumption of electrolyte, resulting in low coulombic efficiency. The inventors of the present invention have discovered that specific conductive agents can help form a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer that is conducive to lithium ion transport, reduce electrolyte consumption, and thus improve the coulombic efficiency of the battery.
[0054] In the present invention, the conductive agent may include at least one of a two-dimensional transition metal sulfide, a two-dimensional nitride, and a layered double hydroxide.
[0055] In the present invention, the terms "two-dimensional transition metal sulfide", "two-dimensional nitride" and "layered double hydroxide" have the conventional meanings in the art. It is generally believed that the chemical formula of the term "two-dimensional transition metal sulfide" can be written as MX2, where M represents a transition metal element, such as Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Mn or Re, and X represents a chalcogen element, such as S, Se or Te. The term "two-dimensional nitride" refers to a binary two-dimensional compound formed by nitrogen and an element with a lower electronegativity than nitrogen. The term "layered double hydroxide" refers to a special type of layered material composed of several layers with positive charges and anions in between to balance the charges.
[0056] In the present invention, the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide may include at least one of MoS2, WS2, TiS2, NbSe2, MoSe2 and MnSe2.
[0057] In one example, the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide includes MoS2.
[0058] In the present invention, the two-dimensional nitride may include at least one of boron nitride, gallium nitride and carbon nitride.
[0059] In one example, the two-dimensional nitride includes boron nitride.
[0060] In the present invention, the layered double hydroxide may include at least one of CoMo-LDH, FeCo-LDH, MgMn-LDH, ZnAl-LDH, and MgAl-LDH.
[0061] In one example, the layered double hydroxide includes CoMo-LDH.
[0062] In the present invention, the conductive agent may include two-dimensional transition metal sulfides and layered double hydroxides.
[0063] In one example, the conductive agent includes MoS2 and CoMo-LDH.
[0064] <Two-dimensional transition metal sulfides>
[0065] In the present invention, when the conductive agent includes the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide, the thermal decomposition temperature of the negative electrode sheet can be 300°C-1600°C, for example, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, 700°C, 800°C, 900°C, 1000°C, 1100°C, 1200°C, 1300°C, 1400°C, 1500°C or 1600°C.
[0066] The inventors of the present invention have discovered that when the conductive agent includes the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide, the conductive agent has excellent conductivity, mechanical strength and a stable layered structure, which can not only enhance the conductivity of the silicon-based material, but also improve the inhibitory effect on the volume expansion of the silicon material, thereby improving the structural stability of the silicon material; the inventors of the present invention have further discovered that when the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet has specific characteristic peaks and / or peak intensity ratios, the negative electrode sheet has a stable structure and can further inhibit the volume expansion of the silicon material.
[0067] In the present invention, when the conductive agent includes the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide, the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet has at least two characteristic peaks at 30°-40° and one characteristic peak at 55°-65°. The two characteristic peaks at 30°-40° are the first characteristic peak and the second characteristic peak (in ascending order of 2θ), and the characteristic peak at 55°-65° is the third characteristic peak.
[0068] In one example, the peak intensity of the first characteristic peak is I1, the peak intensity of the second characteristic peak is I2, and the peak intensity of the third characteristic peak is I3, satisfying 1 < I1 / I2 < 5 and 1.5 < I1 / I3 < 15.
[0069] In the present invention, when the conductive agent includes the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide, the tap density of the negative electrode sheet can be 0.7 g / cm 3 -1.7 g / cm 3 , such as 0.7 g / cm 3 , 0.8 g / cm 3 , 0.9 g / cm 3 , 1 g / cm 3 , 1.1 g / cm 3 , 1.2 g / cm 3 , 1.3 g / cm 3 , 1.4 g / cm 3 , 1.5 g / cm 3 , 1.6 g / cm 3 or 1.7 g / cm 3 .
[0070] In the present invention, the conductive agent may include MoS2. As Figure 2 (a) shows a schematic structural diagram of MoS2.
[0071] When the conductive agent includes MoS2, in the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet, there are at least characteristic peaks at 27°-30°, 34°-36°, 38°-40° and 58°-60°, and 1 < I1 / I2 < 5, and 1.5 < I1 / I3 < 15. As Figure 3 (a) shows the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet (the conductive agent includes MoS2) in an example of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that there are characteristic peaks at 27°-30°, 34°-36°, 38°-40° and 58°-60°, and 1 < I1 / I2 < 5, and 1.5 < I1 / I3 < 15.
[0072] The shape of the conductive agent can be granular, and the granular shape is formed by the aggregation of a plurality of sheet-like bodies. The sheet diameter of the sheet-like body can be 100 nm - 10 μm (such as 100 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, 700 nm, 800 nm, 900 nm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm or 10 μm), and the sheet thickness of the sheet-like body can be 10 nm - 500 nm (such as 10 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm or 500 nm); as Figure 4 (a) shows an SEM image of a negative electrode sheet (the conductive agent is MoS2) in an example of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the conductive agent has a granular shape, and the particles are formed by agglomerating several flakes, which helps to improve the conductivity.
[0073] In the present invention, the sheet diameter and sheet thickness of the sheet can be obtained by testing conventional methods in the field, such as through SEM micrographs, taking any conductive agent particle, measuring the sheet diameter and sheet thickness of at least 50 sheets constituting the conductive agent particle, and taking the average value. When the cross-sectional shape of the sheet is a regular circle, the sheet diameter of the sheet is the diameter of the circle; when the cross-sectional shape of the sheet is an irregular circle, the sheet diameter of the sheet is the equivalent diameter of the diameter of a regular circle with the same area as the irregular circle. When the thickness of a sheet of the sheet is non-uniform, the sheet thickness is the average thickness of the sheet (for example, randomly taking 10 points on the edge of the sheet, measuring the thickness at these 10 points, and taking the average value).
[0074] The inventors of the present invention have discovered that when the sheet diameter and thickness of the sheet are within specific ranges, the volume expansion of the silicon-based material can be further improved.
[0075] In the present invention, when the conductive agent includes the two-dimensional transition metal sulfide, the median particle size Dv50 of the conductive agent can be 1μm-30μm, for example, 1μm, 2μm, 3μm, 4μm, 5μm, 6μm, 7μm, 8μm, 9μm, 10μm, 11μm, 12μm, 13μm, 14μm, 15μm, 16μm, 17μm, 18μm, 19μm, 20μm, 21μm, 22μm, 23μm, 24μm, 25μm, 26μm, 27μm, 28μm, 29μm or 30μm.
[0076] The inventors of the present invention have found that when the median particle size Dv50 of the conductive agent is within a specific range, it is beneficial to improve the structural stability of the negative electrode sheet.
[0077] In the present invention, the median particle size Dv50 of the conductive agent can be measured by conventional methods in the art, for example, by using a laser particle size analyzer.
[0078] <Two-dimensional nitrides>
[0079] In the present invention, when the conductive agent includes a two-dimensional nitride, the thermal decomposition temperature of the negative electrode sheet can be 600°C-1200°C, for example, 600°C, 650°C, 700°C, 750°C, 800°C, 850°C, 900°C, 950°C, 1000°C, 1050°C, 1100°C, 1150°C or 1200°C.
[0080] The inventors of the present invention have found that when the conductive agent includes the two-dimensional nitride and when the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet has specific characteristic peaks and / or peak intensity ratios, the conductive agent has excellent conductivity, mechanical strength, and a stable layered structure. It can not only enhance the conductivity of the silicon-based material but also improve the inhibition of the volume expansion of the silicon material, thereby improving the structural stability of the silicon material.
[0081] In the present invention, when the conductive agent includes a two-dimensional nitride, in the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet, there are characteristic peaks at least in the range of 5° - 13° and 25° - 35°. The characteristic peak in the range of 5° - 13° is the fourth characteristic peak, and the characteristic peak in the range of 25° - 35° is the fifth characteristic peak.
[0082] In one example, the peak intensity of the fourth characteristic peak is I4, and the peak intensity of the fifth characteristic peak is I5, satisfying 2 < I5 / I4 < 6.
[0083] In the present invention, when the conductive agent includes a two-dimensional nitride, the tap density of the negative electrode sheet can be 0.6 g / cm 3 -1.7 g / cm 3 , for example, 0.6 g / cm 3 , 0.7 g / cm 3 , 0.8 g / cm 3 , 0.9 g / cm 3 , 1 g / cm 3 , 1.1 g / cm 3 , 1.2 g / cm 3 , 1.3 g / cm 3 , 1.4 g / cm 3 , 1.5 g / cm 3 , 1.6 g / cm 3 or 1.7 g / cm 3 .

[0088] The inventors of the present invention have discovered that when the conductive agent includes a layered double hydroxide and when the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet has specific characteristic peaks and / or peak intensity ratios, the conductive agent has excellent conductivity, mechanical strength and a stable layered structure, which can not only enhance the conductivity of the silicon-based material, but also improve the inhibitory effect on the volume expansion of the silicon material, thereby improving the structural stability of the silicon material.
[0089] In the present invention, when the conductive agent includes the layered double hydroxide, the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet has characteristic peaks at least at 8°-15° and 25°-40°. The characteristic peak at 8°-15° is the sixth characteristic peak, and the characteristic peak at 25°-40° is the seventh characteristic peak.

[0093] In the present invention, the conductive agent may include CoMo-LDH. Figure 2 (c) Schematic diagram of the structure of CoMo-LDH.
[0094] When the conductive agent includes CoMo-LDH, in the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet, there are at least characteristic peaks at 10°-13° and 27°-30°, and 5 < I7 / I6 < 15. As Figure 3 (c) shows the XRD diffraction pattern of the negative electrode sheet (the conductive agent includes CoMo-LDH) in an example of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that there are characteristic peaks at 10°-13° and 27°-30°, and 5 < I7 / I6 < 15.
[0095] In the present invention, when the conductive agent includes the layered double metal hydroxide, the median particle size Dv50 of the conductive agent can be 100 nm - 1 μm, such as 100 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, 700 nm, 800 nm, 900 nm or 1 μm. The shape of the conductive agent can be an irregular polycrystalline aggregate; as Figure 4 (c) shows the SEM micrograph of the negative electrode sheet (the conductive agent is CoMo-LDH) in an example of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the conductive agent is an irregular polycrystalline aggregate.
[0096] The negative electrode sheet of the present invention includes a conductive agent with a two-dimensional layered structure and a silicon-based material. Compared with traditional carbon black, the conductive agent with a two-dimensional layered structure can significantly improve the conductivity and the lithium ion diffusion rate, promote the capacity release of the silicon-based material, thereby improving the energy density and rate performance of the battery; the groups on the surface of the conductive agent can help form a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer that is beneficial to lithium ion transport, reduce the consumption of the electrolyte, thereby improving the Coulomb efficiency of the battery; the two-dimensional layered structure can inhibit the volume expansion of the silicon-based material during charge and discharge, reduce electrode fragmentation and the loss of point contact between the silicon-based material and the current collector, thereby improving the cycle life of the battery.
[0097] In the present invention, the conductive agent can be obtained by commercial purchase or by preparation. The present invention also provides a preparation method of the conductive agent. The preparation method can include at least one of high-temperature modification method, ball milling method, co-precipitation method, microwave synthesis method, chemical vapor deposition, wet chemical method and mechanical stripping method.

[0101] A third aspect of the present invention provides a battery, which may include an electrolyte and a negative electrode sheet, wherein the electrolyte may include lithium hexafluorophosphate, the mass content of lithium hexafluorophosphate in the electrolyte is x1 (unit %), the negative electrode sheet may include a silicon-based material, the mass m2 (unit g) of the silicon-based material in the negative electrode sheet and the capacity C (unit mAh) of the battery satisfy: 0.1≤a≤0.2 (e.g., 0.1, 0.15, or 0.2), 0.4≤b≤0.8 (e.g., 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, or 0.8).
[0102] The inventors of the present invention found that when x1, m2 and C satisfy a specific relationship, a higher energy density and a lower volume expansion rate can be guaranteed. The reason may be that when the above relationship is satisfied, the electrical contact of the negative electrode sheet is better, and the mass content of lithium hexafluorophosphate is more moderate, the volume expansion inhibition effect of the silicon-based material is more significant, and there is no risk of lithium plating due to excessive polarization.
[0103] In one example, 0.12≤a≤0.18, 0.55≤b≤0.74.
