Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrochemical technology, and in particular to a secondary battery and an electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] Secondary batteries (such as lithium-ion batteries) possess characteristics such as high specific energy, high operating voltage, low self-discharge rate, small size, and light weight, and are widely used in various fields such as energy storage, portable electronic devices, and electric vehicles. With the continuous iterative development of consumer lithium-ion batteries in recent years, the market demand for their charging speed has been increasing, and the charging rate of lithium-ion batteries has been continuously improving. Consumer demand has gradually increased from 1C to over 5C. However, it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high charging rates (5C ≤ 15C) and high-temperature (≥60℃) stability in lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, how to improve the cycle dynamics performance of super-fast charging lithium-ion batteries while also ensuring their high-temperature stability has become a pressing technical problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a secondary battery that improves the cycle dynamics performance of the secondary battery while taking into account its high-temperature stability, and to provide an electrical device using the secondary battery.

[0004] It should be noted that while this application uses lithium-ion batteries as an example of secondary batteries to explain the invention, the secondary battery in this application is not limited to lithium-ion batteries; it can also be used with sodium-ion batteries and other secondary batteries. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a secondary battery, wherein the secondary battery includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The positive electrode includes a positive active material layer, and the positive active material layer includes a positive active material. The negative electrode includes a negative active material layer, and the negative active material layer includes a negative active material. The coating weight of the positive active material layer is W. z The coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer is W. f W z and W f The following conditions must be met: 1.6W f ≤W z ≤2.2W f 3.25 mg / cm 2 ≤W f ≤5.84mg / cm 2The 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. The electrolyte includes an organic solvent, a lithium salt, and nitrile additives. The organic solvent includes a chain carboxylic acid ester, and the chain carboxylic acid ester has a mass percentage content of 6% to 56% based on the mass of the electrolyte. The nitrile additives have a mass percentage content of 0.01% to 10%. The use of lower coating weights for the positive and negative active material layers reduces their thickness and increases their porosity, thereby reducing ohmic and concentration polarization of the electrodes, shortening the lithium-ion transport distance within the electrodes, and thus improving the charging rate of the secondary battery. The selection of small-particle-size positive and negative active materials enhances their surface activity, shortens the lithium-ion transport distance within the particles, and reduces concentration polarization in the secondary battery. Simultaneously, the addition of chain carboxylic esters within the content range specified in this application to the electrolyte ensures its low viscosity, meeting the requirements for rapid lithium-ion transport during super-fast charging. The selection of the coating weight of the positive and negative electrode active material layers, the particle size of the positive and negative electrode active material, and the electrolyte composition enables the secondary battery to have high kinetics to meet the requirements of super-fast charging. However, the high kinetic design of the secondary battery brings the risk of high-temperature stability. Small-particle, highly active materials are prone to side reactions with chain carboxylic acid esters in the electrolyte, especially at high temperatures. The side reactions will cause violent gas generation inside the lithium-ion battery, resulting in the deterioration of the high-temperature storage performance and thermal performance of the secondary battery. To address this, nitrile additives within the content range of this application are added to the electrolyte to protect the positive and negative electrode plates while maintaining the high kinetics of the secondary battery, reduce the side reactions between the electrolyte and the positive and negative electrode plates, and improve the high-temperature stability of the secondary battery. Therefore, by combining the coating weight of the positive and negative active material layers, the Dv99 of the positive and negative active materials, and the composition and content of the electrolyte, this application achieves a good synergistic effect among the coating weight of the positive and negative active material layers, the Dv99 of the positive and negative active materials, and the electrolyte, which can improve the cycle dynamics performance of the secondary battery while taking into account the high-temperature stability of the secondary battery.

[0006] In one embodiment of this application, 6.49 mg / cm 2 ≤W z ≤11.69mg / cm 2 This application, by adjusting the coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer within the scope of this application, enables the secondary battery to possess good cycle dynamics performance while maintaining high-temperature stability.

[0007] In one embodiment of this application, 3.90 mg / cm 2 ≤W f ≤5.19mg / cm2 And / or, 7.80 mg / cm 2 ≤W z ≤10.38mg / cm 2 W z and / or W f Within the aforementioned range, the coating weight range of the positive electrode active material layer and / or the negative electrode active material layer is more favorable, which is beneficial for the secondary battery to further improve its cycle dynamics performance while taking into account high temperature stability.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the Dv99 of the positive electrode active material is 28 μm to 31 μm, and / or the Dv99 of the negative electrode active material is 24 μm to 26 μm.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the peak intensity ratio I of the d-peak to the g-peak in Raman spectroscopy of the carbon-based material is... d / I g Satisfy: 0.1≤I d / I g ≤1.0. This will satisfy the above condition I. d / I g The application of valuable carbon-based materials in secondary batteries can help improve their cycle dynamics performance while maintaining good high-temperature stability.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the positive electrode active material further includes a non-metallic element, which includes at least one selected from fluorine, phosphorus, boron, chlorine, silicon, or sulfur. The inclusion of such non-metallic elements in the positive electrode active material further improves its stability. These non-metallic elements can be added to the positive electrode active material through bulk doping or surface coating.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the chain carboxylic acid ester includes at least one of methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl formate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, ethyl propionate, methyl propionate, n-propyl propionate, isopropyl propionate, methyl propionate, n-butyl propionate, isobutyl propionate, n-pentyl propionate, isopentyl propionate, ethyl n-butyrate, n-propyl n-butyrate, propyl isobutyrate, n-pentyl n-butyrate, n-pentyl isobutyrate, n-butyl isobutyrate, or n-pentyl valerate. The above-mentioned chain carboxylic acid esters have high electrical conductivity and low viscosity, facilitating lithium-ion transport. Using these types of chain carboxylic acid esters enables the secondary battery to have good cycle kinetics performance and high-temperature stability.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, the mass percentage of the chain carboxylic acid ester is 18% to 40% based on the mass of the electrolyte. By controlling the mass percentage of the chain carboxylic acid ester within the above range, lithium ions exhibit a faster transport rate in the electrolyte, thereby further improving the cycle dynamics performance of the secondary battery while maintaining good high-temperature stability.

This results in shorter transport paths for lithium ions within the positive / negative electrode active materials, lower transport tortuosity, and shorter transport distances within the positive / negative electrode sheets. This reduces concentration polarization and electrochemical polarization in the secondary battery, protects the positive and negative electrode sheets, and reduces side reactions between the electrolyte and the positive / negative electrode sheets. Therefore, it improves the cycle dynamics performance of the secondary battery while also ensuring its high-temperature stability. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The accompanying drawings, which are provided to further understand this application and constitute a part of this application, illustrate exemplary embodiments of this application and are used to explain this application, but do not constitute an undue limitation of this application.

[0023] Figure 1 The image shows the Raman spectrum of the negative electrode in Example 3-3. Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] It should be noted that, in the specific embodiments of this application, lithium-ion batteries are used as an example of secondary batteries to explain this application, but the secondary batteries of this application are not limited to lithium-ion batteries, and can also be used for secondary batteries such as sodium-ion batteries.

[0026] The first aspect of this application provides a secondary battery, wherein the secondary battery includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The positive electrode includes a positive active material layer, and the positive active material layer includes a positive active material. The negative electrode includes a negative active material layer, and the negative active material layer includes a negative active material. The coating weight of the positive active material layer is W. z The coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer is W. f W z and W f The following conditions must be met: 1.6Wf ≤W z ≤2.2W f 3.25 mg / cm 2 ≤W f ≤5.84mg / 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. The electrolyte includes an organic solvent, a lithium salt, and nitrile additives. The organic solvent includes a chain carboxylic acid ester, and the chain carboxylic acid ester has a mass percentage content of 6% to 56% based on the mass of the electrolyte. The nitrile additives have a mass percentage content of 0.01% to 10%.

[0027] For example, W f 3.25 mg / cm 2 3.5 mg / cm 2 3.75 mg / cm 2 4mg / cm 2 4.25 mg / cm 2 4.5 mg / cm 2 4.75 mg / cm 2 5mg / cm 2 5.25 mg / cm 2 5.5 mg / cm 2 5.84 mg / cm 2 Or any value between any two of the above ranges. The coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer is less than 1.6W. f The coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer is too large compared to the coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer. When the potential of the secondary battery is reached, the delithiation rate of the positive electrode increases significantly, resulting in a very high actual potential of the positive electrode and easy structural damage. The positive electrode decays rapidly, causing the secondary battery to fail to cycle normally; the coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer is greater than 2.2W. f If the coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer is too large compared to the negative electrode active material layer, excessive lithium ions will be released. The negative electrode cannot fully accept all the lithium ions released from the positive electrode, and these lithium ions cannot be properly intercalated into the negative electrode sheet, leading to lithium plating and affecting the cycle kinetics performance of the secondary battery. The coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer should be less than 3.25 mg / cm³. 2 The energy density of secondary batteries decreases, their lifespan is reduced, and they are difficult to meet the process requirements for secondary batteries; the coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer is greater than 5.84 mg / cm³. 2 As the transport distance of lithium ions inside the positive and / or negative electrode increases, the impedance of the secondary battery increases.

[0028] For example, the Dv99 of the positive electrode active material can be 27μm, 28μm, 29μm, 30μm, 31μm, 32μm, 33μm, or any value between any two of the above ranges. If the Dv99 of the positive electrode active material is less than 27μm, it indicates that the particle size of the positive electrode active material is too small. During the preparation of the positive electrode slurry, the particles are prone to agglomeration, making it extremely difficult for the positive electrode active material to be uniformly dispersed in the slurry. This results in uneven particle distribution within the formed positive electrode active material layer, affecting the processing stability of the positive electrode sheet and causing uneven coating during the coating process. Furthermore, the specific surface area of ​​the positive electrode active material particles will be too large, leading to uneven adhesion between the particles and the substrate. Increased electrolyte contact interfaces exacerbate side reactions, especially in the high-kinetic electrolyte system of super-fast charging, where side reactions become more severe, accelerating electrolyte consumption and the formation of by-products, thus deteriorating the cycle performance and high-temperature stability of the secondary battery. Furthermore, a Dv99 greater than 33 μm in the positive electrode active material results in an excessively long transport path for lithium ions within the positive electrode particles and excessive tortuosity during transport within the positive electrode sheet. This leads to excessive concentration polarization within the secondary battery, increasing its internal resistance and reducing its cycle kinetic performance.

[0029] For example, the Dv99 of the negative electrode active material can be 23μm, 24μm, 25μm, 26μm, 27μm, 28μm, or any value within any two of these ranges. If the Dv99 of the negative electrode active material is less than 23μm, it indicates that the particle size of the negative electrode active material is too small. During the preparation of the negative electrode slurry, the particles are prone to agglomeration, making it extremely difficult for the negative electrode active material to be uniformly dispersed in the slurry. This results in uneven particle distribution within the formed negative electrode active material layer, affecting the processing stability of the negative electrode sheet and causing uneven coating during the coating process. Furthermore, the specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material particles will be too large, leading to uneven particle size distribution. Increased electrolyte contact interfaces exacerbate side reactions, especially in the high-kinetic electrolyte system of super-fast charging, where side reactions become more severe, accelerating electrolyte consumption and the formation of side reaction products, thus deteriorating the cycle performance and high-temperature stability of the secondary battery. Furthermore, a negative electrode active material with a Dv99 greater than 28 μm results in an excessively long lithium-ion transport path within the particles and excessive tortuosity during transport within the negative electrode sheet. This leads to excessive concentration polarization within the secondary battery, increasing its internal resistance and reducing its cycle kinetic performance.

[0030] For example, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the chain carboxylic acid ester can be 6%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 56%, or any value within any two of the above ranges. Chain carboxylic acid esters possess high conductivity, low viscosity, and facilitate lithium-ion transport, giving the electrolyte high kinetic properties. If the mass percentage of the chain carboxylic acid ester is less than 6%, the amount in the electrolyte is too small to fully utilize its properties; if the mass percentage of the chain carboxylic acid ester is greater than 56%, the amount in the electrolyte is too large, resulting in a decrease in the content of lithium salts and additives. Insufficient lithium salt content will affect the charge-discharge performance of the secondary battery, and insufficient additive content will hinder the additives from functioning effectively, affecting the corresponding performance of the secondary battery and the additives.

[0031] For example, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of nitrile additives can be 0.01%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, or any value within any two of the above ranges. Nitrile additives can complex with transition metal ions in the positive electrode active material to form a protective positive electrode electrolyte interface film (CEI) on the surface of the positive electrode, improving the structural stability of the positive electrode and reducing side reactions between the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte, thereby improving the high-temperature stability of the secondary battery. If the mass percentage of nitrile additives in the electrolyte is less than 0.01%, the amount is too small to exert its effect, and the improvement on the high-temperature stability of the secondary battery is not significant; if the mass percentage of nitrile additives in the electrolyte is greater than 10%, the amount is too high, which will reduce the mass percentage of other components in the electrolyte, such as organic solvents, lithium salts, and other additives, affecting the performance of the secondary battery.

[0032] Overall, this application improves the surface activity of both positive and negative electrode active materials by controlling the Dv99 of the positive and negative electrode active materials within the aforementioned range. This shortens the lithium-ion transport path within the positive / negative electrode active materials and reduces the transport tortuosity within the positive / negative electrode sheets, thereby reducing concentration polarization in the secondary battery and resulting in good cycle kinetics. Furthermore, by controlling the coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer and the relationship between the coating weights of the positive and negative electrode active material layers within the aforementioned range, using lower coating weights for the positive and negative electrode active material layers reduces their thickness and increases their porosity. This, in turn, reduces ohmic and concentration polarization in the positive and negative electrode sheets, shortens the transport distance of lithium ions and electrons within the positive and negative electrode sheets, and ultimately improves the charging rate of the secondary battery. This application controls the mass percentage of chain carboxylic acid esters and nitrile additives in the electrolyte within the aforementioned range, resulting in an electrolyte with low viscosity. This allows for faster lithium-ion transport within the electrolyte, reducing electrochemical and concentration polarization in the secondary battery, lowering its impedance, and reducing the charging temperature rise and charging time during super-fast charging. Consequently, the secondary battery exhibits excellent cycle dynamics. Furthermore, by maintaining a suitable content of nitrile additives, the positive and negative electrode plates are protected while preserving high kinetics, reducing side reactions between the electrolyte and the positive and negative electrode plates, thereby improving the high-temperature stability of the secondary battery. This application combines the coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer, the relationship between the coating weights of the positive and negative electrode active material layers, the Dv99 of the positive and negative electrode active materials, and the composition and content of the electrolyte to achieve a good synergistic effect among these factors. This allows for the improvement of the cycle dynamics performance of the secondary battery while also ensuring its high-temperature stability.

[0033] In this application, Dv99 refers to the particle size that, from the smallest particle size side, reaches 99% of the total volumetric particle size distribution. The aforementioned "particles" in this application can be particles of positive electrode active material or particles of negative electrode active material. This application does not impose any particular limitation on the method of controlling the Dv99 of the positive and negative electrode active materials, as long as the purpose of this application can be achieved. For example, it can be achieved by directly purchasing positive and negative electrode active materials whose Dv99 falls within the scope of this application, or by methods such as crushing, grinding, or ball milling.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, 6.49 mg / cm 2 ≤Wz ≤11.69mg / cm 2 For example, W z It is 6.49 mg / cm³ 2 7mg / cm 2 7.5 mg / cm 2 8mg / cm 2 8.5 mg / cm 2 9mg / cm 2 9.5 mg / cm 2 10mg / cm 2 10.5 mg / cm 2 11mg / cm 2 11.69 mg / cm 2 Or any value between any two of the above ranges. By adjusting the coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer within the range of this application, this application can shorten the transport distance of lithium ions and electrons on the positive electrode sheet, which is beneficial to reducing the ohmic polarization and concentration polarization of the secondary battery, thereby reducing the impedance of the secondary battery and enabling the secondary battery to have good cycle dynamics performance while taking into account high temperature stability.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, 3.90 mg / cm 2 ≤W f ≤5.19mg / cm 2 For example, W f 3.90 mg / cm 2 4.00 mg / cm 2 4.25 mg / cm 2 4.50 mg / cm 2 4.75 mg / cm 2 5.00 mg / cm 2 5.19 mg / cm 2 Or any value between any two of the above ranges. W f Within the aforementioned range, the coating weight of the negative electrode active material layer is more optimized, which is beneficial for the secondary battery to further improve its cycle dynamics performance while taking into account high-temperature stability.

[0036] In one embodiment of this application, 7.80 mg / cm 2 ≤W z ≤10.38mg / cm 2 For example, W z It is 7.80 mg / cm 2 8.20 mg / cm 2 8.50 mg / cm 2 8.80 mg / cm 29.00 mg / cm 2 9.25 mg / cm 2 9.50 mg / cm 2 9.70 mg / cm 2 10.00 mg / cm 2 10.38 mg / cm 2 Or any value between any two of the above ranges. W z Within the aforementioned range, the coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer is more optimal, which is beneficial for the secondary battery to further improve its cycle dynamics performance while taking into account high-temperature stability.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, 3.90 mg / cm 2 ≤W f ≤5.19mg / cm 2 7.80 mg / cm 2 ≤W z ≤10.38mg / cm 2 For example, W f 3.90 mg / cm 2 4.00 mg / cm 2 4.25 mg / cm 2 4.50 mg / cm 2 4.75 mg / cm 2 5.00 mg / cm 2 5.19 mg / cm 2 Or any value between any two of the above ranges. For example, W z It is 7.80 mg / cm 2 8.20 mg / cm 2 8.50 mg / cm 2 8.80 mg / cm 2 9.00 mg / cm 2 9.25 mg / cm 2 9.50 mg / cm 2 9.70 mg / cm 2 10.00 mg / cm 2 10.38 mg / cm 2 Or any value between any two of the above ranges. W z and W f Within the aforementioned range, the coating weight ranges for both the positive and negative electrode active material layers are optimized, which is beneficial for the secondary battery to further improve its cycle dynamics performance while maintaining high-temperature stability.

[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the Dv99 of the positive electrode active material is between 28 μm and 31 μm. For example, the Dv99 of the positive electrode active material is 28 μm, 29 μm, 30 μm, 31 μm, or any value between any two of the above ranges. Controlling the Dv99 of the positive electrode active material within the above range results in a more optimal Dv99 range, which is beneficial for further improving the cycle kinetics performance and high-temperature stability of the secondary battery.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the Dv99 of the negative electrode active material is between 24 μm and 26 μm. For example, the Dv99 of the negative electrode active material is 24 μm, 25 μm, 26 μm, or any value between any two of the above ranges. Regulating the Dv99 of the negative electrode active material within the above range results in a more optimal Dv99 range, which is beneficial for further improving the cycle kinetics performance and high-temperature stability of the secondary battery.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, the Dv99 of the positive electrode active material is 28 μm to 31 μm, and the Dv99 of the negative electrode active material is 24 μm to 26 μm. For example, the Dv99 of the positive electrode active material is 28 μm, 29 μm, 30 μm, 31 μm, or any value between any two of the above ranges. The Dv99 of the negative electrode active material is 24 μm, 25 μm, 26 μm, or any value between any two of the above ranges. By controlling the Dv99 of the positive and negative electrode active materials within the above ranges, a more optimal range of Dv99 for both materials is beneficial for further improving the cycle kinetics performance and high-temperature stability of the secondary battery.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the Dv50 of the positive electrode active material is 10 μm to 15 μm, and the Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is 7 μm to 12 μm. For example, the Dv50 of the positive electrode active material is 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or any value between any two of the above ranges.

[0070] Test methods and equipment:

[0071] Tests of Dv50 and Dv99:

[0072] The Dv50 and Dv99 of the positive electrode active material and the negative electrode active material were determined using a laser particle size analyzer.

[0073] Coating weight test:

[0074] (1) Coating weight W of the positive electrode active material layer z test:

[0075] The lithium-ion battery was discharged to 3.0V at 0.5C and then disassembled to obtain the positive electrode sheet. The positive electrode sheet was immersed in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) solution for 4 hours, then dried, and a piece with an area of ​​A mm was cut off. 2 The positive electrode sample was weighed on a balance and recorded as p1. Then the positive active material layer on the positive electrode was washed, and the positive current collector was weighed on a balance and recorded as p2.

[0076] If it is a positive electrode sheet with a positive electrode active material layer coated on only one side, W z = (p1-p2) / A.

[0077] If it is a positive electrode sheet with a double-sided coating of positive active material layers, W z = (p1-p2) / 2A.

[0078] (2) Coating weight W of the negative electrode active material layer f test:

[0079] The lithium-ion battery was discharged to 3.0V at 0.5C and then disassembled to obtain the negative electrode sheet. The negative electrode sheet was immersed in DMC solution for 4 hours, then dried, and a piece with an area of ​​B mm was cut off. 2 The negative electrode sample was weighed on a balance and recorded as q1. Then the negative electrode active material layer on the negative electrode was washed, and the negative electrode current collector was weighed on a balance and recorded as q2.

[0080] If it is a negative electrode sheet with a negative electrode active material layer coated on only one side, W f = (q1-q2) / B.

[0081] If it is a negative electrode sheet with a double-sided coating of negative electrode active material layers, W f = (q1-q2) / 2B.

[0082] Raman test:

[0083] The lithium-ion battery was discharged to 3.0V at 0.5C and then disassembled to obtain the negative electrode sheet. The negative electrode sheet was immersed in DMC solution for 4 hours and then dried. An area of ​​100μm × 100μm was selected on the negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode active material particles within this area were scanned using a laser confocal Raman spectrometer (Raman, HR Evolution, HORIBA Scientific Instruments Division). The d-peaks and g-peaks of all negative electrode active material particles within this area were obtained. The data was processed using LabSpec software to obtain the peak intensities of the d-peak and g-peak for each negative electrode active material particle, which are respectively I... d and I g The laser wavelength of the Raman spectrometer is in the range of 532 nm to 785 nm. d / I g The value of I is the I value of all negative electrode active material particles measured within this range. d and I g The average of the ratios.

[0084] Cyclic dynamic performance testing:

[0085] The lithium-ion batteries of each embodiment and comparative example were subjected to cycle kinetic performance tests at a charging rate of 10C. The specific steps are as follows:

[0086] (1) Adjust the test temperature to a constant 25℃, place the temperature sensing wire of the multi-channel temperature measuring instrument at the center of the lithium-ion battery surface, and perform the following steps: 1) 10C constant current charging to 4.2V; 2) 7C constant current charging to 4.3V; 3) 5C constant current charging to 4.45V; 4) 4.45V constant voltage charging to 0.05C; 5) Let stand for 30min; 6) 1C constant current discharge to 3.0V; 7) Let stand for 30min; End;

[0087] Charging speed: that is, the time from step 1) to step 4) in step (1);

[0088] Charging temperature rise: The difference between the maximum temperature of the process from step 1) to step 4) in step (1) of the lithium-ion battery surface temperature sensing line and the room temperature.

[0089] (2) Adjust the test temperature to a constant 25℃ and start the test: 1) Charge at a constant current of 10C to 4.2V; 2) Charge at a constant current of 7C to 4.3V; 3) Charge at a constant current of 5C to 4.45V; 4) Charge at a constant voltage of 4.45V to 0.05C; 5) Let stand for 5 minutes; 6) Discharge at a constant current of 1C to 3.0V; 7) Let stand for 5 minutes; 8) Repeat steps 1) to 7) 1000 times (cls); End.

[0090] Capacity retention rate (%) = Discharge capacity after 1000cls / First discharge capacity × 100%.

[0091] Cyclic kinetic performance is characterized by charging speed, charging temperature rise, and capacity retention. Shorter charging time and smaller charging temperature rise indicate better initial kinetic performance of lithium-ion batteries, while higher capacity retention indicates better cycle performance.

[0092] High temperature stability test:

[0094] To fully charge a lithium-ion battery, follow these steps: charge at a constant current of 0.7C to 4.45V, then charge at a constant voltage of 4.45V to 0.02C.

[0095] After storing the lithium-ion battery in a 90℃ high and low temperature chamber for 8 hours, the thickness of the lithium-ion battery after storage was measured, and the test was completed.

[0096] The expansion rate of a lithium-ion battery = (thickness of the lithium-ion battery after high-temperature storage - initial thickness of the lithium-ion battery) / initial thickness of the lithium-ion battery × 100%; the expansion rate characterizes high-temperature stability, and the smaller the expansion rate, the better the high-temperature stability.

[0135] Note: In Table 1, "\" indicates that there is no corresponding parameter.

[0136] As can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-29 and Comparative Examples 1 to 18, the secondary battery of this application embodiment, by setting the coating weight W of the positive electrode active material layer... z Coating weight W of the negative electrode active material layer f The ratio W z / W f and W fThe values ​​of the positive and negative electrode active materials, Dv99, are within the scope of this application, and the contents of chain carboxylic acid esters and nitrile additives in the electrolyte are also within the scope of this application. This results in a shorter charging time (i.e., a higher charging speed), a lower charging temperature rise, and a higher capacity retention rate at a charging rate of 10C. Furthermore, the secondary battery exhibits a lower expansion rate after being stored at 90°C for 8 hours. In other words, the secondary battery of this application embodiment can simultaneously possess a shorter charging time, a lower charging temperature rise, a higher capacity retention rate, and a lower expansion rate. This indicates that the secondary battery of this application embodiment can maintain good cycle dynamics performance while also ensuring high-temperature stability under super-fast charging conditions, meaning that the secondary battery of this application embodiment has better overall performance under super-fast charging conditions. In contrast, the secondary batteries of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 have a lower coating weight W of the negative electrode active material layer. f Not within the scope of this application; the coating weight W of the positive electrode active material layer of the secondary batteries in Comparative Examples 3 and 4 is [not specified]. z Coating weight W of the negative electrode active material layer f The ratio W z / W f The following are not within the scope of this application: In Comparative Examples 5 and 6, the negative electrode active material Dv99 is not within the scope of this application; in Comparative Examples 7 and 8, the positive electrode active material Dv99 is not within the scope of this application; in Comparative Examples 9 and 10, the content of chain carboxylic acid esters in the electrolyte is not within the scope of this application; in Comparative Examples 11 and 12, the content of nitrile additives in the electrolyte is not within the scope of this application; in Comparative Examples 13 and 14, the negative electrode active material Dv99, the positive electrode active material Dv99, and the coating weight W of the negative electrode active material layer are not within the scope of this application. f Not within the scope of this application; the secondary batteries of Comparative Examples 15 and 16, their positive electrode active material Dv99, negative electrode active material Dv99, the content of chain carboxylic acid esters in the electrolyte, and the coating weight W of the positive electrode active material layer are not included. z Coating weight W of the negative electrode active material layer f The ratio W z / W f and W f The values ​​are all outside the scope of this application; for the secondary batteries of Comparative Examples 17 and 18, the values ​​of Dv99 of the positive electrode active material, Dv99 of the negative electrode active material, the content of chain carboxylic acid esters in the electrolyte, and the coating weight W of the positive electrode active material layer are all outside the scope of this application. z Coating weight W of the negative electrode active material layer f The ratio W z / W f W fThe values ​​of W and the content of nitrile additives in the electrolyte are not within the scope of this application; the coating weight W of the positive electrode active material layer in Comparative Example 1 z Coating weight W of the negative electrode active material layer f The resulting secondary batteries exhibit lower resistance and faster charging speeds, but due to the excessively low coating weights of the positive and negative active material layers, the cost of precisely controlling the coating weight in actual industrial production is too high. This leads to a low yield rate of lithium-ion batteries in large-scale production and excessively low energy density, failing to meet the needs of actual production and making them unsuitable for industrial applications. In Comparative Examples 2 to 18, the secondary batteries cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of short charging time, low charging temperature rise, long cycle life, and low expansion rate.

Therefore, the secondary battery can maintain good cycle dynamics performance under super-fast charging conditions while also ensuring high-temperature stability. As mentioned above, the coating weight W of the positive electrode active material layer in Comparative Example 1 is... z Coating weight W of the negative electrode active material layer f The lower coating weight results in faster charging speed and lower impedance of the lithium-ion battery. However, due to the excessively low coating weight of the positive and negative active material layers, the cost of accurately controlling the coating weight in actual industrial production is too high. As a result, the yield rate of lithium-ion batteries obtained in large-scale production is too low, and the energy density of the lithium-ion batteries obtained is too low, which cannot meet the needs of actual production and is not suitable for industrial production applications.
