This application employs a novel conductive undercoat to increase the adhesion strength between the positive electrode active material layer and the current collector.

[0065] A second aspect of this application provides a secondary battery comprising the positive electrode sheet described in any of the preceding claims.

[0066] A third aspect of this application provides an electrical device including the aforementioned secondary battery.

[0067] The core-shell structured positive electrode active material provided in this application includes a core and a shell covering the core.

[0068] The kernel includes Li 1+x Mn 1-y A y P 1-z R zO4, where x = -0.100 to 0.100, for example, x can be 0.006, 0.004, 0.003, 0.002, 0.001, 0, -0.001, -0.003, -0.004, -0.005, -0.006, -0.007, -0.008, -0.009, -0.10; y = 0.001 to 0.500, for example, y can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45; z = 0.001 to 0. .100, for example, z can be 0.001, 0.002, 0.003, 0.004, 0.005, 0.006, 0.007, 0.008, 0.009, 0.1; A is selected from one or more of Zn, Al, Na, K, Mg, Mo, W, Ti, V, Zr, Fe, Ni, Co, Ga, Sn, Sb, Nb and Ge, and can be selected from one or more of Fe, Ti, V, Ni, Co and Mg; R is selected from one or more of B, Si, N and S;

[0069] The shell includes a first covering layer covering the core and a second covering layer covering the first covering layer.

[0070] The first coating layer comprises pyrophosphate MP2O7 and phosphate XPO4, wherein M and X are each independently selected from one or more of Li, Fe, Ni, Mg, Co, Cu, Zn, Ti, Ag, Zr, Nb or Al;

[0071] The second coating layer contains carbon.

[0072] Unless otherwise stated, in the above chemical formulas, when A consists of two or more elements, the limitation on the range of values ​​for y applies not only to the stoichiometric coefficient of each element as A, but also to the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of all elements as A. For example, when A consists of two or more elements A1, A2...An, the stoichiometric coefficients y1, y2...yn of each of A1, A2...An must each fall within the range of values ​​for y defined in this application, and the sum of y1, y2...yn must also fall within this range. Similarly, for the case where R consists of two or more elements, the limitation on the range of values ​​for the stoichiometric coefficients of R in this application has the same meaning.

[0073] The inventors of this application discovered in practical operation that manganese dissolution is severe in lithium manganese phosphate cathode active materials during deep charge-discharge processes. Although existing technologies have attempted to coat lithium manganese phosphate with lithium iron phosphate to reduce interfacial side reactions, this coating cannot prevent the migration of dissolved manganese into the electrolyte. After migrating to the negative electrode, the dissolved manganese is reduced to metallic manganese. This generated metallic manganese acts as a "catalyst," catalyzing the decomposition of the SEI film (solid electrolyte interphase) on the negative electrode surface. Some of the byproducts are gases, which can easily cause battery expansion, affecting the safety performance of the secondary battery. Others deposit on the negative electrode surface, hindering the channels for lithium ions to enter and exit the negative electrode, increasing the impedance of the secondary battery and affecting its kinetic performance. Furthermore, to replenish the lost SEI film, the electrolyte and the active lithium inside the battery are continuously consumed, irreversibly affecting the capacity retention rate of the secondary battery.

[0074] After extensive research, the inventors discovered that the problems of severe manganese leaching and high surface reactivity in lithium manganese phosphate cathode active materials may be due to the delithiation of Mn. 3+ The Jiang-Taylor effect and Li + This is caused by changes in channel size. To address this, the inventors modified lithium manganese phosphate to obtain a positive electrode active material that significantly reduces manganese leaching and lattice change rate, thereby exhibiting good cycle performance, high-temperature storage performance, and safety performance.

[0075] like Figure 9 As shown, the lithium manganese phosphate cathode active material of this application has a core-shell structure with two coating layers. The cathode active material includes a core 91 and a shell covering the core. The shell includes a first coating layer 92 covering the core and a second coating layer 93 covering the first coating layer 92. The core comprises Li... 1+x Mn 1-y A y P 1-z R z O4. The element A doping at the manganese sites of lithium manganese phosphate in the core helps reduce the lattice change rate of lithium manganese phosphate during lithium insertion / extraction, improves the structural stability of the lithium manganese phosphate cathode material, greatly reduces manganese dissolution, and lowers the oxygen activity on the particle surface. The element R doping at the phosphorus sites helps change the ease of Mn-O bond length changes, thereby lowering the lithium-ion migration barrier, promoting lithium-ion migration, and improving the rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0076] The first coating layer of the positive electrode active material in this application comprises pyrophosphate and phosphate. Since the migration barrier of transition metals in pyrophosphate is high (>1 eV), the dissolution of transition metals can be effectively suppressed. Phosphate, on the other hand, has excellent lithium-ion conduction capabilities and can reduce surface lithium impurities. Furthermore, since the second coating layer is a carbon-containing layer, it can effectively improve the conductivity and desolvation capability of LiMnPO4. In addition, the "barrier" effect of the second coating layer can further hinder the migration of manganese ions into the electrolyte and reduce the corrosion of the active material by the electrolyte.

[0077] Therefore, by performing specific element doping and surface coating on lithium manganese phosphate, this application can effectively suppress the dissolution of Mn during the lithium insertion / extraction process, while promoting the migration of lithium ions, thereby improving the rate performance of the cell and enhancing the cycle performance and high-temperature performance of the secondary battery.

[0078] Figure 10 This is a comparison of the XRD pattern of Embodiment 1-1 of this application before the first and second coating layers are applied, and the standard XRD pattern of lithium manganese phosphate (00-033-0804). It should be noted that, as... Figure 10 As shown in the figure, by comparing the XRD spectra before and after LiMnPO4 doping in this application, it can be seen that the positions of the main characteristic peaks of the positive electrode active material in this application are basically the same as those of the material before LiMnPO4 doping. This indicates that the doped lithium manganese phosphate positive electrode active material does not have impurity phases, and the improvement in the performance of the secondary battery mainly comes from element doping, rather than impurity phases.

[0079] In some embodiments, optionally, the interplanar spacing of the phosphate in the first coating layer is 0.345-0.358 nm, and the included angle of the crystal orientation (111) is 24.25°-26.45°; the interplanar spacing of the pyrophosphate in the first coating layer is 0.293-0.326 nm, and the included angle of the crystal orientation (111) is 26.41°-32.57°.

[0080] When the interplanar spacing and the angle between the crystal orientation (111) of the phosphate and pyrophosphate in the first coating layer are within the above range, impurity phases in the coating layer can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the specific capacity, cycle performance and rate performance of the material.

[0081] In some embodiments, optionally, in the core, the ratio of y to 1-y is 1:10 to 10:1, optionally 1:4 to 1:1. Here, y represents the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of the Mn-doped elements. When the above conditions are met, the energy density and cycle performance of the cathode active material can be further improved.

[0082] In some embodiments, optionally, the ratio of z to 1-z in the core is 1:9 to 1:999, optionally 1:499 to 1:249. Here, y represents the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of the p-site dopants. When the above conditions are met, the energy density and cycle performance of the cathode active material can be further improved.

[0083] In some implementations, optionally, the coating amount of the first coating layer is greater than 0% by weight and less than or equal to 7% by weight, optionally 4-5.6% by weight, based on the weight of the core.

[0084] When the coating amount of the first coating layer is within the above-mentioned range, it can further suppress manganese dissolution and further promote lithium-ion transport. It can also effectively avoid the following situations: if the coating amount of the first coating layer is too small, the pyrophosphate may not sufficiently inhibit manganese dissolution, and the improvement on lithium-ion transport performance may not be significant; if the coating amount of the first coating layer is too large, the coating layer may be too thick, increasing battery impedance and affecting the battery's kinetic performance.

[0085] In some embodiments, optionally, the weight ratio of pyrophosphate to phosphate in the first coating layer is 1:3 to 3:1, and optionally 1:3 to 1:1.

[0086] A proper ratio of pyrophosphate and phosphate is beneficial for fully leveraging their synergistic effect and can effectively avoid the following situations: if there is too much pyrophosphate and too little phosphate, it may lead to an increase in battery impedance; if there is too much phosphate and too little pyrophosphate, the effect of inhibiting manganese dissolution will be insignificant.

[0087] In some embodiments, optionally, the crystallinity of the pyrophosphate and the phosphate is each independently 10% to 100%, optionally 50% to 100%.

[0088] In the first coating layer of the lithium manganese phosphate cathode active material of this application, the presence of pyrophosphate and phosphate with a certain degree of crystallinity helps maintain the structural stability of the first coating layer and reduces lattice defects. This is beneficial in two ways: firstly, it allows the pyrophosphate to fully inhibit manganese dissolution; secondly, it helps the phosphate reduce the surface lithium content and lower the valence state of surface oxygen, thereby reducing interfacial side reactions between the cathode material and the electrolyte, reducing electrolyte consumption, and improving the cycle performance and safety performance of the battery.

[0089] It should be noted that, in this application, the crystallinity of pyrophosphate and phosphate can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the process conditions of the sintering process, such as sintering temperature and sintering time. The crystallinity of pyrophosphate and phosphate can be measured by methods known in the art, such as X-ray diffraction, density method, infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and nuclear magnetic resonance absorption method.

[0090] In some implementations, the second coating layer may optionally have a coating amount greater than 0% by weight and less than or equal to 6% by weight, optionally 3-5% by weight, based on the weight of the core.

[0091] The carbon-containing layer, serving as the second coating layer, acts as a barrier, preventing direct contact between the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte, thereby reducing electrolyte corrosion and improving battery safety at high temperatures. Furthermore, its strong conductivity reduces internal resistance, enhancing battery kinetic performance. However, due to the low specific capacity of carbon materials, excessive use of the second coating layer may decrease the overall specific capacity of the positive electrode active material. Therefore, when the coating amount is within the aforementioned range, it can further improve battery kinetic and safety performance without sacrificing the specific capacity of the positive electrode active material.

[0092] In some embodiments, the A may optionally be selected from at least two of Fe, Ti, V, Ni, Co, and Mg.

[0093] Simultaneous doping of two or more of the aforementioned elements at the manganese sites in lithium manganese phosphate cathode active materials is beneficial to enhancing the doping effect. On the one hand, it further reduces the lattice change rate, thereby inhibiting the dissolution of manganese and reducing the consumption of electrolyte and active lithium. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to further reduce surface oxygen activity, reduce interfacial side reactions between cathode active materials and electrolyte, thereby improving the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the battery.

[0094] In some embodiments, the Li / Mn antisite defect concentration of the positive electrode active material is optionally below 4%, and optionally below 2%.

[0095] In the positive electrode active material of this application, the Li / Mn antisite defect refers to the Li / Mn antisite defect in the LiMnPO4 lattice. + and Mn 2+ The positions of Li have been interchanged. + The transmission channel is a one-dimensional channel, Mn 2+ In Li + It is difficult to migrate in the transmission channel, therefore, the Mn of the inversion defect is difficult to migrate. 2+ It will hinder Li + The transport of Li / Mn antisite defects can be improved by controlling the concentration of Li / Mn antisite defects at a low level. In this application, the antisite defect concentration can be determined, for example, according to JIS K 0131-1996.

[0096] In some embodiments, the lattice change rate of the positive electrode active material is optionally less than 6%, and optionally less than 4%.

[0097] The lithium insertion / extraction process in LiMnPO4 is a two-phase reaction. The interfacial stress between the two phases is determined by the rate of lattice change; the smaller the rate of lattice change, the smaller the interfacial stress. + The easier the transmission, the better. Therefore, reducing the lattice change rate of the core will be beneficial for enhancing Li. + This improves the transmission capacity, thereby enhancing the rate performance of secondary batteries.

[0098] In some embodiments, optionally, the average discharge voltage of the positive electrode active material is 3.5V or higher, and the discharge specific capacity is 140mAh / g or higher; optionally, the average discharge voltage is 3.6V or higher, and the discharge specific capacity is 145mAh / g or higher.

[0099] Although the average discharge voltage of undoped LiMnPO4 is above 4.0V, its discharge specific capacity is low, usually less than 120mAh / g, and therefore its energy density is low. By adjusting the lattice change rate through doping, its discharge specific capacity can be greatly improved, and the overall energy density can be significantly increased with a slight decrease in average discharge voltage.

[0100] In some embodiments, the surface oxygen valence state of the positive electrode active material is optionally below -1.88, and optionally between -1.98 and -1.88.

[0101] This is because the higher the valence state of oxygen in a compound, the stronger its ability to gain electrons, i.e., the stronger its oxidizing power. In the lithium manganese phosphate cathode active material of this application, by controlling the surface valence state of oxygen at a low level, the reactivity of the cathode material surface can be reduced, the interfacial side reactions between the cathode material and the electrolyte can be reduced, thereby improving the cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the secondary battery.

[0102] In some embodiments, optionally, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material at 3 tons (T) is 2.0 g / cm³. 3 The above is optional, 2.2 g / cm³. 3 above.

[0103] A higher compaction density of the positive electrode active material, i.e., a greater weight of active material per unit volume, is more conducive to improving the volumetric energy density of the battery. In this application, the compaction density can be measured, for example, according to GB / T 24533-2009.

[0104] Regarding the positive electrode sheet provided in this application, it includes a positive current collector and a positive electrode film layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector. The positive electrode film layer includes the lithium manganese phosphate positive electrode active material of this application or the lithium manganese phosphate positive electrode active material prepared according to the method of this application, and the content of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer is more than 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the positive electrode film layer.

[0105] In some embodiments, optionally, the content of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer is 90-99.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the positive electrode film layer.

[0106] As an example, the positive current collector has two surfaces opposite each other in its own thickness direction, and the positive electrode film layer is disposed on either or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive current collector.

[0107] In some embodiments, the positive current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, aluminum foil may be used as the metal foil.

[0117] Beneficial effects

[0118] One or more embodiments of this application have one or more of the following beneficial effects:

[0119] (1) This application modifies lithium manganese phosphate to obtain a positive electrode active material that significantly reduces manganese dissolution and lattice change rate, thereby exhibiting good cycle performance, high-temperature storage performance, and safety performance. The first coating layer of the positive electrode active material in this application includes pyrophosphate and phosphate. Due to the high migration barrier of transition metals in pyrophosphate (>1eV), the dissolution of transition metals can be effectively suppressed. Phosphate has excellent lithium-ion conduction ability and can reduce the surface lithium content. In addition, since the second coating layer is a carbon-containing layer, it can effectively improve the conductivity and desolvation ability of LiMnPO4. Furthermore, the "barrier" effect of the second coating layer can further hinder the migration of manganese ions into the electrolyte and reduce the corrosion of the active material by the electrolyte. Therefore, by performing specific element doping and surface coating on lithium manganese phosphate, this application can effectively suppress Mn dissolution during the lithium insertion / extraction process while promoting lithium ion migration, thereby improving the rate performance of the cell and enhancing the cycle performance and high-temperature performance of the secondary battery.

[0120] (2) When the BET specific surface area of ​​the positive electrode active material is large and there are many small particles, the bonding strength between the positive electrode active material and the current collector (aluminum foil) is weak, and the film delamination phenomenon occurs during the coating process. This application adopts a novel conductive undercoating to increase the bonding strength between the positive electrode active material layer and the current collector.

[0121] (3) During the process of coating the positive electrode active material slurry (containing solvent N-methylpyrrolidone, abbreviated as NMP) on the conductive base coating surface, the first polymer in the conductive base coating will dissolve again after contacting the solvent NMP, thereby diffusing with the positive electrode active material slurry. After curing, the active material layer can be integrated with the base coating, thereby effectively increasing the bonding strength between the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode current collector.

[0122] (4) When the first water-based binder in the conductive base coating is an acrylic-acrylate copolymer (weight average molecular weight: 200,000 to 1,500,000), the binder has strong polarity and can achieve good adhesion with the current collector (aluminum foil). In addition, the acrylic-acrylate copolymer has good stability in the electrolyte, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and low electrolyte absorption efficiency (low swelling degree).

[0123] (5) When the conductive agent in the conductive base coating is selected from one or two of carbon black, acetylene black, carbon fiber, graphite and carbon nanotubes, it can reduce the interface resistance, improve the charge and discharge rate performance of the battery and extend the cycle life of the battery.

[0143] [Rechargeable Battery]

[0144] Secondary batteries, also known as rechargeable batteries or storage batteries, are batteries that can be recharged after being discharged to activate the active materials and continue to be used.

[0145] Typically, a secondary battery consists of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte. During charging and discharging, active ions (such as lithium ions) repeatedly insert and extract between the positive and negative electrodes. The separator, positioned between the positive and negative electrodes, primarily prevents short circuits while allowing active ions to pass through. The electrolyte, also positioned between the positive and negative electrodes, mainly serves to conduct active ions.

[0146] [Positive electrode plate]

[0147] A first aspect of this application provides a positive electrode sheet, comprising a positive current collector, a positive electrode film layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector, and a conductive undercoat layer located between the positive current collector and the positive electrode film layer, wherein...

[0148] The positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material with a core-shell structure, wherein the positive electrode active material includes a core and a shell covering the core.

[0149] The kernel includes Li 1+x Mn 1-y A y P 1-z R z O4, x = -0.100 to 0.100, y = 0.001 to 0.500, z = 0.001 to 0.100, wherein A is selected from one or more of Zn, Al, Na, K, Mg, Mo, W, Ti, V, Zr, Fe, Ni, Co, Ga, Sn, Sb, Nb and Ge, and may be selected from one or more of Fe, Ti, V, Ni, Co and Mg, wherein R is selected from one or more of B, Si, N and S;

[0150] The shell includes a first covering layer covering the core and a second covering layer covering the first covering layer, wherein,

[0151] The first coating layer comprises pyrophosphate MP2O7 and phosphate XPO4, wherein M and X are each independently selected from one or more of Li, Fe, Ni, Mg, Co, Cu, Zn, Ti, Ag, Zr, Nb or Al;

[0152] The second coating layer contains carbon;

[0153] The conductive undercoat includes a first polymer, a first water-based binder, and a first conductive agent.

[0154] The first polymer comprises:

[0155] Equation 1 represents the first single-unit cell;

[0156] A second monomer unit selected from at least one of the monomer units represented by Formula 2 and the monomer units represented by Formula 3;

[0157] A third monomer unit selected from at least one of the monomer units represented by Formula 4 and the monomer units represented by Formula 5; and

[0159]

[0160] In the positive electrode sheet based on the above scheme, the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode current collector have enhanced bonding strength. Without theoretical limitations, during the process of coating the positive electrode active material slurry (containing the solvent N-methylpyrrolidone, abbreviated as NMP) onto the conductive undercoat surface, the first polymer in the conductive undercoat will dissolve again upon contact with the solvent NMP, thereby interdiffusion with the positive electrode active material slurry. After curing, the active material layer can fuse with the undercoat layer, thus effectively increasing the bonding strength between the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode current collector.

[0161] In some embodiments, the first polymer is a random copolymer.

[0162] Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is a random copolymer formed by the polymerization (e.g., emulsion polymerization) of acrylonitrile and butadiene monomers, with the following general structural formula:

[0163]

[0164] In nitrile rubber, the linkage between butadiene (B) and acrylonitrile (A) units is generally a ternary combination of BAB, BBA, or ABB, ABA, and BBB. However, with increasing acrylonitrile content, a pentagonal linkage of AABAA can also occur, and it can even become the bulk polymer of acrylonitrile. In nitrile rubber, the sequence distribution of butadiene is mainly trans-1,4 structure, and its microstructure is related to the polymerization conditions.

[0165] Hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) is a product obtained by adding hydrogen to the carbon-carbon double bonds in the molecular chain of nitrile butadiene rubber until it is partially or completely saturated. The chemical formula of fully saturated hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber is as follows:

[0166]

[0167] There are three main methods for preparing hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR): ethylene-acrylonitrile copolymerization, NBR solution hydrogenation, and NBR emulsion hydrogenation.

[0168] Hydrogenated carboxylated butyl rubber (HXNBR) is a polymer obtained by selectively hydrogenating C=C bonds in the copolymerization of nitrile (e.g., acrylonitrile), conjugated diene (e.g., butadiene) and unsaturated carboxylic acid. The term "hydrogenated carboxylated butyl rubber" refers to hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber with the addition of carboxyl groups.

[0169] Esters of unsaturated carboxylic acids are, for example, esters of α,β-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids. Alkyl esters and alkoxyalkyl esters of α,β-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids are acceptable. Alkyl esters of α,β-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, such as C1-C18 alkyl esters, are also acceptable. Alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, such as C1-C18 alkyl esters, include methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, tert-butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, n-dodecyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate. Alkoxyalkyl esters of α,β-unsaturated monocarboxylic acids are also acceptable. Alkoxyalkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, such as C2-C12-alkoxyalkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, are also highly acceptable. Methoxymethyl acrylate, methoxyethyl acrylate, ethoxyethyl acrylate, and methoxyethyl acrylate are also highly acceptable. Mixtures of alkyl esters (such as those mentioned above) and alkoxyalkyl esters (such as those in the forms mentioned above) may also be used. Hydroxyalkyl acrylates and hydroxyalkyl methacrylates wherein the hydroxyalkyl group has 1-12 carbon atoms may also be used, such as 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and 3-hydroxypropyl acrylate. Similarly, epoxy-containing esters, such as glycidyl methacrylate, may be used. Cyanoalkyl acrylates and cyanoalkyl methacrylates wherein the cyanoalkyl group has 2-12 carbon atoms may also be used, such as α-cyanoethyl acrylate, β-cyanoethyl acrylate, and cyanobutyl methacrylate. Fluorine-substituted benzyl acrylates or methacrylates may also be used, such as fluorobenzyl acrylate and fluorobenzyl methacrylate. Fluoroalkyl acrylates and methacrylates may also be used, such as trifluoroethyl acrylate and tetrafluoropropyl methacrylate. Amino-containing α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid esters, such as dimethylaminomethyl acrylate and diethylaminoethyl acrylate, may also be used.

[0357] [Relevant Parameter Tests]

[0358] 1. Initial capacity test of button cell batteries:

[0359] At a voltage of 2.5–4.3V, the button cell prepared above is charged to 4.3V at 0.1C, and then charged at 4.3V at a constant voltage until the current is less than or equal to 0.05mA. After standing for 5 minutes, it is discharged to 2.0V at 0.1C. The discharge capacity at this time is the initial specific capacity, denoted as D0.

[0360] 2. Average discharge voltage (V) test of coin cell:

[0361] The coin cells prepared above were placed in a constant temperature environment of 25°C for 5 minutes, discharged at 0.1C to 2.5V, placed in a constant temperature environment for 5 minutes, charged at 0.1C to 4.3V, and then charged at a constant voltage of 4.3V until the current is less than or equal to 0.05mA. After being placed in a constant temperature environment for 5 minutes, they were discharged at 0.1C to 2.5V. The discharge capacity at this time is the initial specific capacity, denoted as D0, and the discharge energy is the initial energy, denoted as E0. The average discharge voltage V of the coin cells is E0 / D0.

[0362] 3. Full battery gas expansion test at 60°C:

[0363] The prepared full cell was stored at 60°C at 100% state of charge (SOC). The open-circuit voltage (OCV) and internal resistance (IMP) of the cell were measured before, during, and after storage to monitor SOC, and the cell volume was also measured. The full cell was removed after every 48 hours of storage, allowed to stand for 1 hour, and then the OCV and IMP were measured. After cooling to room temperature, the cell volume was measured using the displacement method. The displacement method involves first measuring the cell's weight F1 separately using a balance with automatic unit conversion, and then completely immersing the cell in deionized water (with a known density of 1 g / cm³). 3 In the experiment, the weight F2 of the battery cell and the buoyancy F of the battery cell are measured at this time. 浮 That is, F1-F2, and then according to Archimedes' principle, F 浮 =ρ×g×V 排 The cell volume V is calculated to be V = (F1 - F2) / (ρ × g).

[0364] Based on the OCV and IMP test results, the batteries in all embodiments maintained a SOC of over 99% throughout the entire experiment until the end of storage.

[0365] After 30 days of storage, the cell volume was measured, and the percentage increase in cell volume after storage was calculated relative to the cell volume before storage.

[0366] In addition, measure the residual capacity of the battery cell. Charge the full battery at 1C to 4.3V within the range of 2.5V to 4.3V, then charge it at a constant voltage of 4.3V until the current is less than or equal to 0.05mA. Let it stand for 5 minutes, and record the charging capacity at this point as the residual capacity of the battery cell.

[0367] 4. Cyclic performance test of the entire battery at 45°C:

[0368] Under constant temperature conditions of 45℃ and at a voltage range of 2.5–4.3V, the prepared full battery was charged at 1C to 4.3V, and then charged at a constant voltage of 4.3V until the current was less than or equal to 0.05mA. After resting for 5 minutes, it was discharged at 1C to 2.5V, and the discharge capacity at this point was recorded as D0. The aforementioned charge-discharge cycle was repeated until the discharge capacity decreased to 80% of D0. The number of cycles completed at this point was recorded.

[0369] 5. Lattice change rate test:

[0370] Under a constant temperature environment of 25℃, the positive electrode active material sample prepared above was placed in an XRD (model Bruker D8 Discover) and tested at 1° / min. The test data was then organized and analyzed. Referring to the standard PDF card, the lattice constants a0, b0, c0 and v0 were calculated (a0, b0 and c0 represent the length of each aspect of the unit cell, and v0 represents the volume of the unit cell, which can be directly obtained from the XRD refinement results).

[0371] Using the above-described method for preparing coin cells, the positive electrode active material sample was prepared into a coin cell, and the coin cell was charged at a low rate of 0.05C until the current decreased to 0.01C. The positive electrode sheet was then removed from the coin cell and immersed in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) for 8 hours. After drying, the powder was scraped off, and particles with a diameter less than 500 nm were screened out. Samples were taken, and their cell volume v1 was calculated in the same manner as the fresh samples tested above. The lattice change rate (cell volume change rate) before and after complete lithium insertion / extraction is shown in the table.

[0372] 6. Li / Mn inverse defect concentration test:

[0373] The XRD results obtained from the "lattice change rate measurement method" are compared with the PDF (Powder Diffraction File) card of the standard crystal to determine the Li / Mn antisite defect concentration. Specifically, the XRD results obtained from the "lattice change rate measurement method" are imported into the General Structure Analysis System (GSAS) software to automatically obtain refined results, which include the occupancy of different atoms. The Li / Mn antisite defect concentration is then obtained by reading the refined results.

[0374] 7. Transition metal dissolution test:

[0375] The full battery, after being cycled at 45°C until its capacity decayed to 80%, was discharged at a 0.1C rate until the cutoff voltage of 2.0V. Then, the battery was disassembled, the negative electrode was removed, and 30 unit areas (1540.25 mm²) were randomly selected from the negative electrode. 2The discs were tested using an Agilent ICP-OES730 inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP). The amounts of Fe (if the Mn site of the positive electrode active material is doped with Fe) and Mn were calculated based on the ICP results, thus determining the amount of Mn (and Mn-doped Fe) dissolved after cycling. The testing standard was based on EPA-6010D-2014.

[0376] 8. Surface oxygen valence state test:

[0377] 5g of the positive electrode active material sample prepared above was used to prepare a coin cell according to the above method. The coin cell was charged at a low rate of 0.05C until the current decreased to 0.01C. Then, the positive electrode sheet of the coin cell was removed and immersed in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) for 8 hours. After drying, the powder was scraped off, and particles with a diameter of less than 500nm were screened out. The obtained particles were measured using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS, using a Talos F200S instrument) to obtain the energy loss near-edge structure (ELNES), which reflects the density of states and energy level distribution of the element. Based on the density of states and energy level distribution, the number of occupied electrons was calculated by integrating the valence band density of states data, thereby deducing the valence state of the surface oxygen after charging.

[0378] 9. Compacted density measurement:

[0379] Take 5g of the prepared positive electrode active material powder and place it in a compaction mold (CARVER mold, model 13mm, USA). Then place the mold on a compaction density instrument. Apply a pressure of 3T and read the thickness of the powder under pressure (thickness after depressurization; the area of ​​the container used for testing is 1540.25mm²) on the instrument. 2 The compaction density is calculated using ρ = m / v.

[0380] 10. X-ray diffraction method for testing the crystallinity of pyrophosphate and phosphate.

[0381] Take 5g of the positive electrode active material powder prepared above, and measure the total scattering intensity by X-rays. It is the sum of the scattering intensity of all matter in space. It is only related to the intensity of the primary rays, the chemical structure, and the total number of electrons participating in the diffraction, i.e., the mass, and is not related to the order state of the sample. Then, separate the crystalline scattering and non-crystalline scattering from the diffraction pattern. The crystallinity is the ratio of the scattering of the crystalline part to the total scattering intensity.

[0382] 11. Interplanar spacing and angles

[0383] Take 1g of each of the above-prepared positive electrode active material powders into a 50mL test tube, and inject 10mL of 75% alcohol into the test tube. Then, stir and disperse the mixture thoroughly for 30 minutes. Then, use a clean disposable plastic pipette to take an appropriate amount of the above solution and drop it onto a 300-mesh copper grid. At this time, some powder will remain on the copper grid. Transfer the copper grid along with the sample to the TEM (Talos F200s G2) sample chamber for testing, obtain the original TEM test image, and save the original image format (xx.dm3).

[0384] Open the original image obtained from the TEM test in DigitalMicrograph software and perform a Fourier transform (the software will automatically complete this step after clicking) to obtain the diffraction pattern. Measure the distance from the diffraction spot to the center position in the diffraction pattern to obtain the interplanar spacing. The included angle is calculated according to the Bragg equation.

Figure 2 As shown in (b), a double-sided tape 520 is then provided, with dimensions of 20mm wide × 30mm long. The double-sided tape 520 is attached to the steel plate 510, with one wide edge of the double-sided tape 520 aligned with one wide edge of the steel plate 510. Figure 2As shown in (c), a test electrode 530 is then provided, with dimensions of 20mm wide × 180mm long. The test electrode 530 is placed over the double-sided adhesive 520 (aligned on both sides), with the coated side of the electrode 530 facing the double-sided adhesive 520. Because the length of the test electrode 530 is greater than the length of the double-sided adhesive 520, a portion of the test electrode 530 is not bonded to the double-sided adhesive. Figure 2 As shown in (d), the steel plate 510 is fixed on the base of the tensile testing machine. A clamp holds the end of the electrode 530 to be tested that is not bonded to the double-sided adhesive. The clamp is then stretched towards the other end (as indicated by the arrow). The direction of the stretching force is perpendicular to the steel plate 510 and maintains a certain distance from its surface. While stretching the electrode outwards from the paper, the steel plate moves upwards to keep the stretching direction perpendicular to the electrode peeling position. During the stretching process, the electrode 530 is gradually peeled off the steel plate. The stretching speed of the clamp is 50 mm / min. The tension of the clamp is recorded during the stretching process. After the tension stabilizes, a further 40 mm peeling length is performed, and the average tension at this peeling length is taken as the adhesive force (in N).
