[0025] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit the invention. Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] The applicant of this invention discovered that during the charging process of a sodium-ion battery, sodium ions are deintercalated from the positive electrode and intercalated into the negative electrode through the electrolyte. Therefore, the dynamic performance of the negative electrode of a sodium-ion battery is closely related to the battery's fast charging performance. However, the fast charging performance of existing secondary batteries such as sodium-ion batteries is not good.

[0028] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a secondary battery comprising a negative electrode sheet, which includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer disposed on the negative electrode current collector. The negative electrode active material layer includes a negative electrode active material, a conductive agent, and a binder; the conductive agent is composed of at least two different conductive materials.

[0029] The secondary battery satisfies: 10 < [100000 * (Dv50)] / [P] 2 *(lnM)]<34;

[0030] Wherein, Pg / L is the tap density of the conductive agent;

[0031] Dv50μm is the particle size corresponding to a cumulative volume distribution percentage of 50% for the negative electrode active material.

[0032] M g / mol is the molar mass of the binder.

[0033] The applicant discovered that the kinetic performance of the negative electrode depends on the matching of the physicochemical properties among the constituent materials of the negative electrode; at the same time, the kinetic performance of the negative electrode is closely related to the fast charging performance of the battery. Therefore, by optimizing the physicochemical properties among the constituent materials of the negative electrode and making reasonable matching, the kinetic performance of the negative electrode can be effectively improved, thereby improving the fast charging performance of the battery.

[0034] Because the three parameters of the negative electrode active material Dv50, the tap density of the conductive agent powder, and the molar mass of the binder play a decisive role in the negative electrode dynamics, in this embodiment of the invention, based on the interaction and mutual influence relationship between the negative electrode active material, the conductive agent powder, and the binder, the conductive agent is set to be composed of at least two different conductive materials, and the Dv50 of the negative electrode active material, the tap density of the conductive agent powder, and the molar mass of the binder satisfy the above-mentioned relationship, effectively constructing an electrode conductive network, improving the ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of the negative electrode, thereby effectively improving the charging rate performance and preparing a secondary battery with excellent fast charging performance.

The Dv50 of one-dimensional linear conductive agents can be one or any two of the following values: 4μm, 5μm, 8μm, 10μm, 15μm, 20μm. The Dv50 of two-dimensional planar conductive agents can be one or any two of the following values: 0.5μm, 0.6μm, 0.8μm, 1μm, 1.5μm, 2μm, 3μm. This ensures that the size of the conductive agent in each dimension is appropriate, which can give full play to the performance advantages of the conductive agent in each dimension and improve the fast charging performance.

[0039] Optionally, in one specific embodiment, in the secondary battery provided by the present invention, the tap density of the zero-dimensional point conductive agent is 200-500 g / L, the tap density of the one-dimensional linear conductive agent is 100-250 g / L, and the tap density of the two-dimensional planar conductive agent is 10-100 g / L. This effectively balances the wetting effect with the electrolyte and the contact performance with the negative electrode active material, forming a dense conductive network with high ionic conductivity and achieving excellent fast charging performance. In some embodiments, the tap density of the zero-dimensional point conductive agent is a range of 200 g / L, 250 g / L, 350 g / L, 500 g / L or any two of these values; the tap density of the one-dimensional linear conductive agent is a range of 100 g / L, 120 g / L, 150 g / L, 160 g / L, 180 g / L, 200 g / L, 220 g / L, 250 g / L or any two of these values; and the tap density of the two-dimensional planar conductive agent is a range of 10 g / L, 20 g / L, 40 g / L, 60 g / L, 80 g / L, 100 g / L or any two of these values.

[0040] In practical applications, the tap density is tested using the tap density measurement method specified in GB / T 31057.2-2018. The specific steps include:

[0041] The weighed powder is loaded into the measuring cylinder of the compaction device and fixed on the support. The cam is rotated, and the directional rod drives the support to slide up and down and strike the anvil. The vibration is performed at 250±15 times per minute for 12 minutes. The volume of powder in the measuring cylinder is measured, and the ratio of powder mass to volume is the compaction density of the powder.

[0042] Optionally, in one embodiment, the conductive agent in the secondary battery includes a zero-dimensional point conductive agent, a one-dimensional linear conductive agent, and a two-dimensional planar conductive agent. Based on the total content of the conductive agent, the mass percentage of the zero-dimensional point conductive agent is 25-40%, the mass percentage of the one-dimensional linear conductive agent is 30-50%, and the mass percentage of the two-dimensional planar conductive agent is 10-45%. This more rationally constructs a three-dimensional conductive network and achieves fast charging performance.

[0043] Optionally, in one embodiment, the zero-dimensional dot-shaped conductive agent includes at least conductive carbon black, the one-dimensional linear conductive agent includes at least one of carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers, and the two-dimensional planar conductive agent includes at least graphene.

[0044] Optionally, in one embodiment, the tap density P of the conductive agent is 120 to 210 g / L. The tap density P of the conductive agent is the tap density of a mixed conductive agent after mixing at least two of the following: zero-dimensional point conductive agent, one-dimensional linear conductive agent, and two-dimensional planar conductive agent. The tap density of the conductive agent within the above range can effectively balance the wetting effect with the electrolyte and the contact performance with the negative electrode active material, forming a dense conductive network with high ionic conductivity and achieving excellent fast discharge performance.

[0045] In one embodiment, the Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is 40-100μm, which makes the particle size moderate. This facilitates the rapid shuttle of active ions between particles to achieve rapid charging, and also avoids excessive liquid absorption and low solid content in the slurry during the stirring process, which can lead to coating cracks, bulging edges and other process problems, thus ensuring processing performance.

[0046] In one embodiment, the molar mass M of the binder is 1,200,000 to 1,900,000 g / mol. This ensures that the binder network layer formed on the surface of the negative electrode active material has a high porosity, avoiding excessively low liquid absorption that would affect the rate performance. It also avoids dispersion problems such as folding and clumping of binder molecules, allowing the negative electrode active material and conductive agent to be uniformly dispersed, thereby forming a good conductive network and effectively balancing rate performance and fast discharge performance.

[0047] In some embodiments, the tap density P g / L of the conductive agent can be one or any two of the following values: 120 g / L, 110 g / L, 120 g / L, 140 g / L, 150 g / L, 160 g / L, 180 g / L, 200 g / L, 210 g / L; the Dv50 of the negative electrode active material can be one or any two of the following values: 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm; and the molar mass of the binder is one or any two of the following values: 1200000 g / mol, 1050000 g / mol, 1100000 g / mol, 1200000 g / mol, 1500000 g / mol, 1800000 g / mol, 1900000 g / mol.

[0048] Optionally, in one specific embodiment, the adhesive is one or more of styrene-butadiene latex, polytetrafluoroethylene, and PVDF.

[0049] Optionally, in one embodiment, the negative electrode active material has a porous structure, and the ratio K of open pores to closed pores in the negative electrode active material is 2 to 3. The proportion of open pores is moderate, resulting in a suitable active surface area, which effectively balances the initial coulombic efficiency and rate performance, ensuring the wetting effect of the electrolyte. In some embodiments, the ratio K of open pores to closed pores in the negative electrode active material is a range of one or both of 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, and 3.0.

[0050] In practical applications, the above-mentioned K value can be obtained by adjusting the sintering temperature, the closed-pore ratio can be obtained by testing according to GB / T 10707-2008, and the open-pore porosity can be measured by gas adsorption method.

[0051] In the secondary battery provided by this invention, the negative electrode active material includes secondary particles formed by the aggregation of primary particles. The number N of primary particles in a single secondary particle is 40 to 60, which can effectively balance the initial coulombic efficiency and rate performance, and reduce gas production during cycling. Optionally, in some embodiments, the number N of primary particles in a single secondary particle can be one or any combination of 40, 42, 45, 48, 50, 52, 55, 58, and 60.

[0052] In practical applications, the N value can be adjusted by the calcination time during the hard carbon preparation process. The N value can be calculated by measuring the primary and secondary particle sizes and volume ratios using SEM and TEM.

[0053] The aforementioned negative electrode active material layer can be a negative electrode active material used in batteries, such as a metal negative electrode active material or a non-metal negative electrode active material; the metal negative electrode active material is preferably a metal foil or alloy compound such as sodium, sodium alloy, tin, or antimony; the non-metal negative electrode active material is preferably any one or a combination of at least two of hard carbon, soft carbon, graphite, and silicon suboxide.

[0054] Optionally, in one specific embodiment, the negative electrode active material includes hard carbon, and the precursor of the hard carbon is one or more of biomass, resin, and coal. This results in a disordered crystal arrangement and larger interlayer spacing within the negative electrode active material, which is more conducive to the formation of a protective film on its surface by additives in the electrolyte, further optimizing the stability of the protective film. In this embodiment, the resin may include phenolic resin, epoxy resin, polyfurfuryl alcohol, etc.

[0055] Optionally, in one specific embodiment, the negative electrode current collector is one or more of copper foil, aluminum foil, carbon-coated copper foil, and carbon-coated aluminum foil.

[0056] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet is prepared as follows: the components used to prepare the negative electrode sheet, such as the negative electrode active material, binder and conductive agent, are dispersed in a solvent such as deionized water to form a negative electrode slurry; the negative electrode slurry is coated on both sides of a negative electrode current collector such as copper foil; after baking, rolling, cutting and other processes, the negative electrode sheet can be obtained.

[0057] The secondary battery provided by the present invention also includes a positive electrode and an electrolyte.

[0058] In this process, the electrolyte in the electrolyte solution plays a role in conducting ions between the positive and negative electrode plates.

[0059] The aforementioned positive electrode sheet includes a positive current collector and a positive active material layer disposed on the aforementioned positive current collector. The aforementioned positive active material layer includes a positive active material, which includes at least one of sodium ion transition metal oxides, sodium ion transition metal phosphates and variants, sodium ion transition metal sulfates, and Prussian blue compounds.

[0063] Understandably, the secondary battery provided in the embodiments of the present invention also includes a separator.

[0064] In practical applications, the negative electrode sheet, separator and positive electrode sheet are stacked in sequence and wound to obtain a core. The core is then packaged to obtain a bare cell. After baking, the bare cell is injected with electrolyte, formed, resealed and sorted to obtain the above-mentioned secondary battery.

It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0068] The present invention will be described in detail below through embodiments.

[0069] (1) Charging rate performance test:

[0070] At room temperature, the cell with a state of charge of 0% (SOC) was charged to 4.0V at a current density of 0.33C, and the capacity was recorded as C1.

[0071] Then, at room temperature, the cell with SOC=0% charge is charged to 4.0V at a current density of 5C. The capacity at this time is C2, and the capacity is recorded as C2.

[0072] Calculate the capacity retention ratio C2 / C1 as a test indicator of charging rate performance.

This yielded the battery's initial charge capacity. After resting for 30 minutes, it was discharged at a constant current of 0.33C to 2.5V, yielding the initial discharge capacity. The initial efficiency = (initial discharge capacity / initial charge capacity) * 100%. The initial coulombic efficiency of the battery was then calculated.
