[0002] Secondary batteries (such as lithium ion batteries) have the characteristics of high specific energy, high working voltage, low self-discharge rate, small volume, light weight, etc., and are widely used in various fields such as electric energy storage, portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. With the continuous iterative development of consumer lithium ion batteries in recent years, the market has increasingly high requirements for the charging speed of lithium ion batteries, and the charging rate of lithium ion batteries is continuously improved. The demand of consumers gradually increases from 1C to more than 5C, but the improvement of the charging rate of lithium ion batteries is often accompanied by poor processing reliability. Therefore, how to improve the cycle dynamics performance of super-fast-charging lithium ion batteries while considering the processing reliability of lithium ion batteries has become a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. Obviously, the described examples are only some of the examples of the present application, rather than all the examples. All other examples obtained by those skilled in the art based on the present application are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0024] It should be noted that in the specific embodiments of the present application, the present application is explained by taking lithium-ion batteries as examples of secondary batteries, but the secondary batteries of the present application are not limited to lithium-ion batteries, and can also be used in secondary batteries such as sodium-ion batteries.
[0025] The first aspect of the present application provides a secondary battery, wherein the secondary battery comprises an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly comprises a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator, the positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer, the positive electrode active material layer comprises a positive electrode active material, the negative electrode sheet comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer, the negative electrode active material layer comprises a negative electrode active material; the positive electrode current collector integrally extends to form a plurality of positive electrode tabs, and the negative electrode current collector integrally extends to form a plurality of negative electrode tabs; the coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer is W z , the coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer is W f , W z , and W f satisfy: 1.6W f ≤W z ≤2.2W f , 3.25 mg / cm 2 ≤W f ≤5.84 mg / cm 2 ; the Dv99 of the positive electrode active material is 27 μm to 33 μm, and the Dv99 of the negative electrode active material is 23 μm to 28 μm.
[0026] In the present application, for the convenience of understanding, it is defined that in the unfolded state, the length direction of the separator is X, the width direction of the separator is Y, and the thickness direction of the separator is Z. It can be understood that the length direction, the width direction, and the thickness direction of the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet in the unfolded state are the same as those of the separator. After the positive electrode sheet, the separator, and the negative electrode sheet are wound to form an electrode assembly in a wound structure, the winding direction of the electrode assembly is W. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the electrode assembly 001 comprises a positive electrode sheet 10, a negative electrode sheet 20, and a separator 30, and the separator 30 is arranged between the positive electrode sheet 10 and the negative electrode sheet 20. The positive electrode sheet 10 comprises a positive electrode current collector 11, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the positive current collector 11 integrally extends to form a plurality of positive tabs 12, wherein the positive current collector 11 comprises a positive tab region 111 and a positive body region 112. It can be understood that the positive tab region 111 refers to a region provided with the positive tabs 12, and the positive body region 112 refers to a region of the positive current collector 11 other than the positive tab region 111. The negative tab sheet 20 comprises a negative current collector 21, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the negative current collector 21 integrally extends to form a plurality of negative tabs 22, wherein the negative current collector 21 comprises a negative tab region 211 and a negative body region 212. It can be understood that the negative tab region 211 refers to a region provided with the negative tabs 22, and the negative body region 212 refers to a region of the negative current collector 21 other than the negative tab region 211. In the present application, the above-mentioned “integrally extending” refers to integrally forming the current collector and the tab, for example, cutting a plurality of tabs on the edge of the current collector by laser or die cutting, rather than connecting the tab to the current collector by non-integrally forming means such as welding. It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 4 The number, shape and size of the positive and negative tabs are only exemplary and the present application is not limited thereto. In the present application, the above-mentioned “plurality” refers to two or more. In an embodiment of the present application, the plurality refers to at least 2, and the upper limit of the number of tabs can not be particularly required and can be adjusted according to the capacity, size and other factors of the secondary battery. Exemplarily, the plurality can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 20 or 50.
[0027] For example, W z is 1.6 W f , 1.7 W f , 1.8 W f , 1.9 W f , 2.0 W f , 2.1 W f , 2.2 W f or any value within any two of the above-mentioned numerical ranges. For example, W f is 3.25 mg / cm 2 , 3.5 mg / cm 2 , 3.75 mg / cm 2 , 4 mg / cm 2 , 4.25 mg / cm 2 , 4.5 mg / cm 2 , 4.75 mg / cm 2 , 5 mg / cm 2 , 5.25 mg / cm 2 , 5.5 mg / cm 2 , 5.84 mg / cm 2 or any value within any two of the above-mentioned numerical ranges. The coating weight W of the positive active material layerz less than 1.6 W f If the coating weight of the positive active material layer is too large relative to the coating weight of the negative active material layer, the lithium ions are excessively removed, and the negative electrode cannot fully accept the lithium ions removed from the positive electrode. The lithium ions cannot be normally inserted into the negative electrode sheet, which will cause lithium precipitation in the negative electrode sheet, affecting the cycle kinetic performance of the secondary battery. The coating weight of the negative active material layer is less than 3.25 mg / cm z greater than 2.2 W f If the coating weight of the positive active material layer is too large relative to the coating weight of the negative active material layer, the lithium ions are excessively removed, and the negative electrode cannot fully accept the lithium ions removed from the positive electrode. The lithium ions cannot be normally inserted into the negative electrode sheet, which will cause lithium precipitation in the negative electrode sheet, affecting the cycle kinetic performance of the secondary battery. The coating weight of the negative active material layer is less than 3.25 mg / cm 2 The energy density of the secondary battery is reduced, making it difficult to meet the process requirements of the secondary battery; and the coating weight of the negative active material layer is greater than 5.84 mg / cm 2 The transmission distance of lithium ions inside the positive electrode sheet and / or the negative electrode sheet is increased, and the impedance of the secondary battery is increased.
[0028] For example, the Dv99 of the positive active material is 27 μm, 28 μm, 29 μm, 30 μm, 31 μm, 32 μm, 33 μm, or any value within the range between any two of the above values. If the Dv99 of the positive active material is less than 27 μm, the Dv99 of the positive active material is too small, indicating that the volume particle size of the positive active material particles is too small. During the preparation of the positive electrode slurry, the positive active material particles are prone to agglomeration, so that the probability of uniform dispersion of the positive active material in the positive electrode slurry is extremely small, and the distribution of the positive active material particles in the positive active material layer formed is uneven, which will affect the processing stability of the positive electrode sheet and cause uneven coating during the coating of the positive electrode slurry. In addition, the specific surface area of the positive active material particles will be too large, resulting in an increase in the interface between the positive active material particles and the electrolyte, and the side reaction will be intensified, especially under the high kinetic electrolyte system of super-fast charging, the side reaction will be very intense, accelerating the consumption of the electrolyte and the generation of side reaction products, and deteriorating the cycle kinetic performance and processing reliability of the secondary battery. If the Dv99 of the positive active material is greater than 33 μm, the Dv99 of the positive active material is too large, the transmission path of lithium ions inside the positive active material particles is too long, and the tortuosity of the transmission inside the positive electrode sheet is too large, which will cause the concentration polarization inside the secondary battery to be too large, thereby increasing the internal resistance of the secondary battery and reducing the cycle kinetic performance of the secondary battery.
[0029] For example, the Dv99 of the negative active material is 23 μm, 24 μm, 25 μm, 26 μm, 27 μm, 28 μm, or any value within any two of the above ranges. If the Dv99 of the negative active material is less than 23 μm, the Dv99 of the negative active material is too small, indicating that the volume particle size of the negative active material particles is too small, and the negative active material particles are prone to agglomeration during the preparation of the negative electrode slurry. Thus, the probability of uniform dispersion of the negative active material in the negative electrode slurry is extremely small, and the distribution of the negative active material particles in the negative active material layer formed is uneven, which will affect the processing stability of the negative electrode sheet and cause uneven coating during the coating of the negative electrode slurry. In addition, the specific surface area of the negative active material particles will be too large, resulting in an increase in the interface between the negative active material particles and the electrolyte, and the side reaction will intensify, especially under the high kinetic electrolyte system of super-fast charging, the side reaction will be very intense, accelerating the consumption of the electrolyte and the generation of side reaction products, and deteriorating the cycle kinetic performance and processing reliability of the secondary battery. If the Dv99 of the negative active material is greater than 28 μm, the Dv99 of the negative active material is too large, the transmission path of lithium ions inside the negative active material particles is too long, and the tortuosity of the transmission inside the negative electrode sheet is too large, which will cause the concentration polarization inside the secondary battery to be too large, thereby increasing the internal resistance of the secondary battery and reducing the cycle kinetic performance of the secondary battery.
[0030] Overall, the application sets the positive current collector to integrally extend to form multiple positive electrode tabs, and the negative current collector to integrally extend to form multiple negative electrode tabs, so that the secondary battery has a multiple-tab structure, the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab have multiple current channels, the internal resistance of the secondary battery is reduced, the voltage polarization of the secondary battery under large rate (such as 5C to 15C) charging conditions is small, the charging temperature rise of the secondary battery is reduced, and the charging time of the secondary battery is shortened, so that the secondary battery has higher kinetic performance. The application regulates the Dv99 of the positive active material and the negative active material within the above range, so that the lithium ion has a shorter transmission path inside the positive / negative active material and a smaller transmission tortuosity inside the positive / negative electrode tab during transmission, to reduce the concentration polarization of the secondary battery, so that the secondary battery has good cycle kinetics. The application regulates the coating weight of the positive active material layer and the negative active material layer within the above range, which can shorten the transmission distance of lithium ions and electrons inside the positive electrode tab and inside the negative electrode tab, thereby reducing the ohmic polarization and concentration polarization of the secondary battery. The application combines the coating weight of the positive active material layer and the negative active material layer, the Dv99 of the positive active material and the negative active material, and the multiple-tab structure, so that the coating weight of the positive active material layer and the negative active material layer, the Dv99 of the positive active material and the negative active material, and the multiple-tab structure have a good synergistic effect. The positive and negative active materials with small Dv99 match the thin coating required for super-fast charging, and ensure that large particles in the positive and negative active materials do not exceed the thickness of the active material coating during cold pressing, so that the current collector is not squeezed, reducing the probability of damage and fracture of the current collector. Especially the multiple-tab structure, the gap coating method causes the air foil area and the coating film area to be subjected to different stresses due to the thickness difference during cold pressing, and is more prone to breakage due to the squeezing of the current collector by active material particles. The positive and negative active materials with small Dv99 match the thin coating required for super-fast charging, which can alleviate the breakage caused by the squeezing of the current collector by active material particles, thereby improving the cycle kinetics of the secondary battery while ensuring the processing reliability of the secondary battery.
[0031] In the application, Dv99 represents the particle size of the particle reaching 99% of the volume accumulation from the small particle size side in the volume-based particle size distribution. The above-mentioned "particle" in the application can be a particle of the positive active material, and can be a particle of the negative active material. The application does not have a particular limitation on the regulation method of the Dv99 of the positive active material and the negative active material, as long as the application purpose can be achieved. For example, the positive active material and the negative active material with Dv99 within the range of the application can be directly purchased, or can be achieved by crushing, grinding or ball milling.
[0032] In an embodiment of the present application, N1 layers of positive electrode tabs are arranged between two adjacent positive electrode tabs, and N2 layers of negative electrode tabs are arranged between two adjacent negative electrode tabs, wherein N1 and N2 are each independently selected from 0, 1, 2 or 3. Figure 1 As shown in the wound electrode assembly, two adjacent positive electrode tabs 12 or two adjacent negative electrode tabs 22 are distributed on different layers. As viewed from top to bottom in the figure, 0 layers of positive electrode tabs 10 are arranged between two adjacent positive electrode tabs 12, and 0 layers of negative electrode tabs 20 are arranged between two adjacent negative electrode tabs 22. Figure 2 As shown in the wound electrode assembly, two adjacent positive electrode tabs 12 or two adjacent negative electrode tabs 22 are distributed on different layers. As viewed from top to bottom in the figure, 1 layer of positive electrode tabs 10, 2 layers of positive electrode tabs 10 are arranged between two adjacent positive electrode tabs 12, respectively, and 0 layers of negative electrode tabs 20, 3 layers of negative electrode tabs 20 are arranged between two adjacent negative electrode tabs 22, respectively. By adjusting N1 and N2 within the above range, a sufficient number of positive electrode tabs and negative electrode tabs on the positive electrode tabs and the negative electrode tabs in the secondary battery can be obtained, so that the positive electrode tabs and the negative electrode tabs have multiple current channels, which can reduce the internal resistance of the secondary battery, reduce the charging temperature rise of the secondary battery, and shorten the charging time, so that the fast-charging secondary battery has good cycle dynamics while ensuring processing reliability. It can be understood that adjusting N1 and N2 to 0 can make the positive electrode tabs and the negative electrode tabs have more current channels, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the secondary battery, further reduce the charging temperature rise of the secondary battery, and further shorten the charging time, so that the secondary battery has further improved dynamics while ensuring cycle performance and mechanical reliability, but this will reduce the energy density of the secondary battery to some extent; adjusting N1 and N2 to 1 or 2 or 3 can reduce the number of tabs and improve the internal resistance to some extent, but can improve the energy density of the secondary battery.
[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, N1 layers of positive electrode tabs are arranged between two adjacent positive electrode tabs, and N2 layers of negative electrode tabs are arranged between two adjacent negative electrode tabs, wherein N1 and N2 are each independently selected from 0. Figure 1As shown, in the wound electrode assembly, two adjacent positive tabs 12 or two adjacent negative tabs 22 are distributed on different layers, and between the two adjacent positive tabs 12, a 0-layer positive tab 10 is arranged from top to bottom in the figure, and between the two adjacent negative tabs 22, a 0-layer negative tab 20 is arranged. By adjusting N1 and N2 to 0, more positive tabs and negative tabs in the secondary battery have positive tabs and negative tabs, so that more current channels are provided on the positive tabs and negative tabs, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the secondary battery, further reduce the charging temperature rise of the secondary battery, and further shorten the charging time, thereby further improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery on the basis of considering the cycle performance and mechanical reliability of the secondary battery under super-fast charging conditions, but the energy density will be reduced to some extent.
[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, 6.49 mg / cm 2 ≤W z ≤11.69 mg / cm 2 For example, W z is 6.49 mg / cm 2 , 6.7 mg / cm 2 , 7 mg / cm 2 , 7.23 mg / cm 2 , 7.5 mg / cm 2 , 7.79 mg / cm 2 , 8 mg / cm 2 , 8.24 mg / cm 2 , 8.5 mg / cm 2 , 8.8 mg / cm 2 , 9 mg / cm 2 , 9.2 mg / cm 2 , 9.5 mg / cm 2 , 9.7 mg / cm 2 , 10 mg / cm 2 , 10.2 mg / cm 2 , 10.5 mg / cm 2 , 10.7 mg / cm 2 , 11 mg / cm 2 , 11.69 mg / cm 2 , or any value range between any two of the above values. By adjusting the coating weight of the positive active material layer within the range of the present application, the present application can shorten the transmission distance of lithium ions and electrons on the positive tab, which is beneficial to reduce the ohmic polarization and concentration polarization of the secondary battery, thereby reducing the impedance of the secondary battery, and the secondary battery has good cycle kinetics on the basis of considering the processing reliability.
[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, 4.00 mg / cm 2 ≤ W f ≤ 5.19 mg / cm 2 For example, W f is 4.00 mg / cm 2 , 4.25 mg / cm 2 , 4.5 mg / cm 2 , 4.75 mg / cm 2 , 5 mg / cm 2 , 5.19 mg / cm 2 , or any value between any two of the above-mentioned numerical ranges.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, 8.00 mg / cm 2 ≤ W z ≤ 10.38 mg / cm 2 For example, W z is 8 mg / cm 2 , 8.6 mg / cm 2 , 9.1 mg / cm 2 , 9.5 mg / cm 2 , 10 mg / cm 2 , 10.38 mg / cm 2 , or any value between any two of the above-mentioned numerical ranges. Controlling W z within the above-mentioned range, the coating weight range of the positive active material layer is more optimal, which is conducive to further improving the cycle kinetic performance of the secondary battery on the basis of taking into account the processing reliability.

For example, W z8 mg / cm 2 8.5 mg / cm 2 9 mg / cm 2 9.5 mg / cm 2 10.38 mg / cm 2 or any value between any two of the above-mentioned numerical ranges. The coating weight of the positive active material layer and the negative active material layer are controlled within the above-mentioned ranges, and the coating weight ranges of the positive active material layer and the negative active material layer are more optimal, which is beneficial to further improve the cycle kinetic performance of the secondary battery on the basis of taking into account the processing reliability. z and W f are controlled within the above-mentioned ranges, and the coating weight ranges of the positive active material layer and the negative active material layer are more optimal, which is beneficial to further improve the cycle kinetic performance of the secondary battery on the basis of taking into account the processing reliability.

For example, the Dv99 of the positive active material is 28 μm, 29 μm, 30 μm, 31 μm, or any value between any two of the above-mentioned numerical ranges.
