[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, a lithium battery cell generally includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator. The separator is disposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate to separate the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, and at the same time, allows active ions to pass through. During the production process of the lithium battery cell, battery formation is a key step in the battery production process, aiming to activate the positive and negative electrode materials inside the battery cell through charge and discharge cycles, and form a protective film on the surfaces of the positive and negative electrode plates. This protective film helps to improve the cycle performance and service life of the battery. Among them, the protective film formed on the surface of the negative electrode plate can be called a solid electrolyte interface film (Solid Electrolyte Interface, abbreviated as SEI film). During the subsequent use of the battery, some components in the SEI film will react with water to produce hydrofluoric acid, resulting in damage to the SEI film, thereby reducing the stability of the SEI film.
[0032] In order to improve the stability of the SEI film, in the related art, the composition of the electrolyte is usually improved to adjust the composition of the SEI film formed by it, so as to reduce the degree of damage caused by moisture. However, this is still insufficient to improve the stability of the SEI film during the use of the battery.

[0124] Test section
[0125] Cycling performance test:
[0126] The lithium battery monomers prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were respectively placed in an environment at 25 °C, charged at a constant current of 0.2C to 3.6V, and then discharged at 0.2C to 2.0V, and repeated 3 times. The third discharge capacity Q1 was extracted as the initial state capacity calibration value, and then the cycling performance was tested by cycling 1000 times at 1C / 1C. After the end of the 1000th cycle, the 1000-cycle discharge capacity Q2 was measured. The capacity retention rate a = Q2 / Q1 was calculated based on the initial state capacity calibration value Q1 discharge capacity and the 1000-cycle discharge capacity. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0127] Serial number Capacity retention rate (%) after 1000 cycles at 25℃ and 1C Example 1 96.1% Example 2 97.3% Example 3 97.5% Example 4 95.2% Example 5 98.4% Comparative example 1 90.2% Comparative example 2 91.0%
[0128] As can be seen from comparing the test results of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 in Table 1, in the lithium battery monomer provided by the present invention, the resistance of the negative electrode sheet is reduced by the conductive gel contained in the grid-like structure in the conductive layer, thereby improving its conductivity. Moreover, the conductive gel can also absorb moisture to delay the dissolution rate of the SEI film, thereby improving the stability of the SEI. In addition, the phosphorus-containing compound is filled in the grid of the grid structure, and after dissolution, it will react with the electrolyte and lithium ions to form an insoluble substance, which can be used as a constituent of the SEI film, so as to further delay the dissolution rate of the SEI film to improve its stability. Therefore, the SEI film in the lithium battery monomer provided by the embodiment of the present invention has good stability, which helps to improve the cycle performance and service life of the battery. Comparative Example 1 does not contain gel, and its capacity retention rate after 1000 cycles at 25°C and 1C is significantly lower than that of Examples 1-5; Comparative Example 2 does not contain phosphorus-containing compound, and its capacity retention rate after 1000 cycles at 25°C and 1C is also significantly lower than that of Examples 1-5.
[0129] Finally, it should be noted that the above experimental examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing experimental examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing experimental examples, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the experimental examples of the present invention.
