Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and particularly relates to a lithium battery. BACKGROUND
[0002] During the first charging process of the lithium battery, an SEI film is formed, resulting in irreversible capacity loss, which is the main reason for the low capacity and energy density of the lithium ion battery. In addition, during the charging and discharging process, the negative electrode material may be deactivated due to swelling and falling off, or irreversible lithium deposition may occur, which will consume the active lithium of the positive electrode and reduce the capacity and energy density of the battery. In order to compensate for the loss of active lithium of the positive electrode material and further improve the energy density of the battery, a lithium supplement technology is often used. The irreversible capacity loss of the most widely used graphite negative electrode can reach 10%, while for silicon-based and tin-based alloy negative electrodes with high specific capacity, the irreversible capacity loss can even reach ~ 30%, and the lithium supplement technology can improve the short board of low initial efficiency and fully exert the advantages of high capacity. Since the battery manufacturing process of the negative electrode lithium supplement is difficult and the investment is high, the positive electrode lithium supplement is often used.
[0003] In addition, the fast charging performance of the lithium battery can be improved by improving the rate performance of the positive and negative electrode materials, optimizing the electrolyte formula, and selecting a thin film with high porosity. In addition, electrode design (such as the coating amount of the electrode sheet, the compaction density, the thickness of the copper foil and aluminum foil, the size of the tab, the width of the electrode sheet, etc.) is also crucial to the fast charging performance, and the surface density and compaction density of the battery also have a great influence on the rate, cycle, etc. of the battery. Fast charging lithium ion batteries require low surface density design, while too high or too low compaction density will lead to poor performance. If the compaction density is too high, the active material of the electrode sheet will be "pressed to death", leading to a rapid drop in cycle capacity, while if the compaction density is too low, the contact between the active materials will not be sufficient, the impedance of the battery will be large, and the volumetric energy density will be small, leading to poor fast charging performance.
[0004] The selection of the lithium supplement agent also has a great influence on improving the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material. In addition, in order to match the positive electrode material, how to further optimize the negative electrode material to make the positive and negative electrodes exhibit better cycle performance, high rate fast charging performance and high energy density in the charging and discharging cycle has also become a technical difficulty in the preparation of high-performance lithium batteries.
[0005] Therefore, there are still some challenges in the manufacture of batteries with high volumetric energy density, good fast charging performance and long cycle life. SUMMARY
[0006] In order to solve the problems and deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a lithium battery, which effectively improves the battery performance by optimizing the matching of the positive and negative electrode active materials, and has the advantages of high energy density, good fast charging performance, long cycle life and the like.
[0007] The application provides a lithium battery, comprising a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet; the positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode active material layer, and the positive electrode active material layer comprises a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material and a lithium supplementing agent; the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material contains a doping element A, and the doping element A comprises at least one of Ti, V, Mg, Nb, Zr, Zn and Al; and the lithium supplementing agent comprises a lithium-rich lithium nickelate material, and the chemical formula of the lithium-rich lithium nickelate material is Li 2+x NiB y O 2+z , x>0, y>0, z>0 or z<0; the element B comprises at least one of Ti, Al, Mg, Mn and Fe; the negative electrode sheet comprises a negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode active material layer comprises a carbon-based negative electrode material and a silicon-based negative electrode material; the silicon-based negative electrode material comprises at least one of a porous silicon material, a core-shell silicon-carbon material, a yolk-shell silicon-carbon material and a SiO X / C graphite structure silicon-carbon material; the D50 of the silicon-based negative electrode material is 5-15 mu m, wherein the porosity of the porous silicon material is 5-40%; in the core-shell silicon-carbon material and the yolk-shell silicon-carbon material, the inner core is nano silicon powder, and the outer shell is carbon material.
[0008] The lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material (LFP) is considered to be one of the most promising lithium battery positive electrode materials due to its excellent structural stability, long cycle life and high safety performance. In the current lithium iron phosphate battery, the most common is still the LFP / graphite system, and the energy density is 160-180 Wh / kg. However, with the rapid development of the new energy industry, there is an urgent need to develop high-energy density, high-fast-charging performance and long cycle performance. Moreover, the volume energy density and ionic conductivity of LFP are low, which limits the play of its fast-charging performance.
[0009] To improve the performance of the LFP battery, first, a lithium supplementing agent lithium nickelate positive electrode material (LNO) is introduced into the positive electrode active material, which can effectively make up for the lithium consumption of the formation of the negative electrode SEI film during the first charge and discharge of the battery, thereby effectively improving the gram capacity of the LFP positive electrode material. Moreover, the lithium supplementing effect of the LNO can improve the cycle life. Moreover, the LFP positive electrode material in the application is doped with metal elements. These additional doped metal elements can widen the Li + transport channel, increase the Li + diffusion coefficient, optimize the Li + transport performance, and make the Li +In the charge and discharge cycle process, the deintercalation is more smooth, and the battery cycle performance is optimized. At the same time, the introduction of additional doping metal elements can also improve the conductivity of the LFP positive electrode material, and further optimize the performance of the LFP battery. In addition, the lithium supplementing agent LNO contains Li, Ni metal elements, and also contains a certain amount of other metal elements, which can form a stable lattice structure with Li, Ni and O, and the addition of these metal elements can promote the lithium supplementing effect of LNO, improve the Li+ transmission performance and conductivity of the positive electrode material as a whole, and further optimize the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material.
[0010] Secondly, in the negative electrode active material, the negative electrode active material used in the present application is a combination of carbon-based negative electrode material and silicon-based negative electrode material, because only silicon-based negative electrode material is used, the negative electrode volume expansion effect is too large, even if the silicon-based negative electrode material is modified, in the process of charge and discharge cycle, because the negative electrode material is only silicon-based negative electrode material, the volume expansion stress is very large, and the structure stability of the silicon-based negative electrode material cannot be maintained for a long time, thus it is not conducive to the fast charging performance and long cycle performance of the battery. In addition, the silicon-based negative electrode material used in the present application is a porous silicon core-shell structure silicon-carbon material or a yolk-shell structure silicon-carbon material or SiO X / C class graphite structure silicon-carbon material, these silicon-based negative electrode materials have a D50 of micron level, which will not significantly agglomerate in the preparation of negative electrode slurry and negative electrode sheet (D50 is too small, such as nano-level particles, which are more prone to agglomeration), and will not affect the performance of the silicon-based negative electrode material and the subsequent processing of the negative electrode. And the D50 of the silicon-based negative electrode material cannot be too large, which can ensure that it can be well infiltrated by the electrolyte, and ensure that it has good lithium ion transmission performance and conductivity.
[0011] Moreover, the porous silicon material has a porosity of 5-40%, which can effectively alleviate the volume expansion effect, so that it is not easy to break and collapse in the process of charge and discharge cycle, which deteriorates the cycle performance and fast charging performance of the battery. At the same time, such porosity is also conducive to the rapid transmission of lithium ions, optimizing the fast charging performance of the battery. The porosity cannot be too high or too low, too high will deteriorate the structure stability of the porous silicon itself, because the higher the porosity, the more surface pore defects, which are more prone to damage under external forces such as cycle stress; too low is not enough to alleviate the volume expansion effect, and is not conducive to the structure stability of the silicon-based material in the process of charge and discharge cycle. Similarly, the core-shell structure silicon-carbon material, yolk-shell structure silicon-carbon material, SiO X / C class graphite structure silicon-carbon material, etc. have a core-shell structure or certain porosity, which can also effectively alleviate the volume expansion stress of the silicon-based material, so that it is not easy to break in the process of charge and discharge cycle, and the cycle performance and fast charging performance of the battery are optimized.
[0012] More importantly, in the above specific combination of positive electrode active material and negative electrode active material, the deintercalation of lithium ions is balanced on the positive and negative electrode sides during the charge and discharge cycle, which is conducive to the smooth transportation of lithium ions in the battery, and thus is more conducive to the improvement of the cycle performance, fast charging performance and energy density of the battery. Moreover, because of the relatively balanced lithium ion transmission efficiency of the positive and negative electrodes, the formation of lithium dendrites on the negative electrode side is less, so the cycle performance of the battery can be further optimized. In addition, the combination of LFP+LNO in the positive electrode active material of the present application can also effectively improve the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet, so as to reduce the surface density design while improving the energy density of the battery.
[0013] Preferably, the inner shell is a nano-silicon powder, and the nano-silicon powder is a silicon oxide powder including at least one of silicon dioxide and silicon monoxide.
[0014] Preferably, the porosity of the porous silicon material is 20-35%. Further adjusting the porosity of the porous silicon can more effectively balance the self-volume expansion performance, structural strength and lithium ion transmission performance of the porous silicon, and can more effectively exert the performance of the porous silicon material in all aspects.
[0015] Preferably, the mass ratio of the lithium supplement agent in the total mass of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material and the lithium supplement agent is 0.5-20%. If the content of the lithium supplement agent is too low, it cannot effectively improve the specific capacity of the LFP positive electrode material, and thus cannot effectively improve the energy density of the battery. Moreover, if the content of the lithium supplement agent is too low, it cannot supplement lithium in time, which will affect the insertion and extraction reactions of lithium ions in the positive electrode material, and thus reduce the cycle life of the battery. In addition, if the content of the lithium supplement agent is too low, the total lithium will also be less, and too little lithium will cause the discharge performance of the battery to decrease, and will also affect the charging efficiency of the battery, which will cause the capacity of the battery to decrease and the charging time to become longer, and will deteriorate the fast charging performance of the battery. If the content of the lithium supplement agent is too high, the total lithium will also be too much, and too much lithium will cause the chemical reaction process in the battery to accelerate, and thus will accelerate the aging of the battery and shorten the life of the battery. Moreover, if the content of lithium in the positive electrode material is too high, the battery will exhibit polarization, which will cause the internal resistance of the battery to increase and the voltage of the battery to decrease during discharge, and thus will affect the electrical performance of the battery. In addition, too much lithium will also increase the risk of combustion of the battery, because too much lithium will cause the excess lithium ions in the positive electrode material of the battery to produce thermal decomposition or reaction to produce gas during charging or discharging, which will cause the internal pressure of the battery to increase, and will cause short circuit, leakage, and even explosion and other dangers.
[0016] Preferably, the mass ratio of the lithium supplement agent in the total mass of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material and the lithium supplement agent is 5-15%.
[0017] Preferably, the mass ratio of the silicon-based negative electrode material in the total mass of the carbon-based negative electrode material and the silicon-based negative electrode material is 2-50%. If the silicon-based negative electrode material is too little, the battery energy density, capacity and fast charging performance will not be significantly improved, and if the silicon-based negative electrode material is too much, the silicon volume expansion effect will be too obvious, the negative electrode material is more likely to break during charging and discharging, and it is not conducive to the cycle performance and fast charging performance of the battery.
[0018] Preferably, the mass ratio of the silicon-based negative electrode material in the total mass of the carbon-based negative electrode material and the silicon-based negative electrode material is 10-35%.
[0019] Preferably, the D50 of the secondary particle size of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is 0.5-3.5 μm, the primary particle size is 0.1-2.0 μm, and the D50 of the lithium supplement agent is 2-15 μm. Controlling the D50 of the secondary particle size of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material and the lithium supplement agent within the above range can take into account the cycle performance and processing performance of the material. If the D50 is too large, the material is easy to break, which affects the cycle performance. If the D50 is too small, the material is easy to agglomerate and block the screen, which affects the processing. Moreover, within the above D50 range, the particle matching between the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material and the lithium supplement agent is better, which can reduce the gap between the particles, improve the compaction density of the positive electrode material, and optimize the energy density of the battery. Controlling the primary particle size of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material within a smaller particle size range can increase the specific surface area of the primary particle, which is beneficial to the diffusion of Li+. + The transmission unit can reduce the Li + The transmission path improves the electrical performance and optimizes the cycle performance of the battery. Therefore, if the primary particle size is too large, the Li + The transmission path increases, which is not conducive to the Li + transport; and if the primary particle size is too small, the secondary particles are too many grain boundaries, which makes the secondary particles easy to break and deteriorate the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode material. It should be noted that the single particle before agglomeration is the primary particle (particle size), and the particle after agglomeration is the secondary particle (particle size).
[0020] Preferably, in the core-shell structure silicon-carbon material and the yolk-shell structure silicon-carbon material, the carbon material for preparing the shell includes at least one of phenolic resin, polyvinyl alcohol, epoxy resin and polyaniline.
[0021] Preferably, the doping amount of the doping element A in the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is 300-9000 ppm. If the doping amount is too small, it cannot effectively widen the Li+ transmission path and increase the Li+ diffusion coefficient, so the improvement of the electrical performance of the material is limited. If the doping amount is too much, it will affect the performance of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material itself, and may also affect the structural stability of the material itself, which will also cause the performance of the material to decrease.
[0022] Preferably, the doping amount of the doping element A in the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is 2000-7500 ppm. Under these selected B element species, the obtained LNO lithium supplementing agent has better matching with the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material, especially can jointly act with the doping element A in the lithium iron phosphate, can further improve the Li+ transmission performance and the electrical conductivity of the positive electrode material, and further optimizes the performance of the battery.
[0023] Preferably, the single surface density of the positive electrode sheet is 150-350 g / m 2 , and the compacted density is 2.35-2.70 g / cm 3 ; the single surface density of the negative electrode sheet is 90-120 g / m 2 , and the compacted density is 1.40-1.90 g / cm 3 . The positive electrode sheet prepared by using the positive electrode material has a high compacted density, so the surface density of the present application is not too high, and even in the case that the surface density is not too high, the battery provided by the present application can also have a high energy density due to the high compacted density. Further, by designing the negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet with certain surface density and compacted density, the transmission balance of the positive and negative lithium ions can be more beneficial, the lithium dendrite situation can be reduced, and the transmission resistance can be reduced, thereby optimizing the battery performance.
[0024] Preferably, the doping element A includes Ti and V; or the doping element A includes Ti and Zn. The doping element can have a synergistic effect under the above matching, which is more beneficial to widening the Li+ transmission channel and increasing the Li+ diffusion coefficient, and further optimizes the material performance, the cycle performance, the fast charging performance and the energy density of the battery.
[0025] Preferably, the B element includes at least one of Al, Mn and Mg.
[0026] Preferably, the lithium-rich lithium nickelate positive electrode material is at least one of Li3NiMnO4, Li3NiMgO4, Li3NiMn2O5, Li3NiMnO5, Li5NiMgO5, Li3NiMg2O5 and Li4NiAlO5.
[0027] Preferably, the silicon-based negative electrode material includes porous silicon material and core-shell structure silicon-carbon material, and the mass ratio of the porous silicon material and the core-shell structure silicon-carbon material is 1:1-1.5; or the silicon-based negative electrode material includes porous silicon material and yolk-shell structure silicon-carbon material, and the mass ratio of the porous silicon material and the yolk-shell structure silicon-carbon material is 1:1-1.5. When the silicon-based negative electrode material adopts the above two matching, the two materials can make up for the shortcomings of each other, so that the volume expansion stress of the negative electrode can be better relieved, and the Li +The battery has high transmission performance, and the cycle performance and fast charging performance of the battery are further improved.

[0309] The positive electrode material in Comparative Example 1 does not contain a lithium supplement agent, and the lithium consumption of the negative electrode is more serious during the charge-discharge cycle and cannot be effectively compensated, resulting in a decrease in the cycle performance of the positive electrode material, and the Li + transportation performance and the electrical conductivity, resulting in a decrease in the fast-charging performance of the battery.
[0310] The lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material in Comparative Example 2 does not contain the doping element A, which is not conducive to widening the Li + transportation channels and increasing the Li + diffusion coefficient, and reducing the Li + transportation performance, so that the Li + is more difficult to be deintercalated during the charge-discharge cycle, and the doping element A is also not conducive to improving the electrical conductivity of the material, so the energy density, cycle performance and fast-charging performance of the battery all decrease.
[0311] The negative electrode material in Comparative Example 3 does not contain a silicon-based negative electrode material, so the energy density of the battery decreases significantly, and the cycle performance and fast-charging performance of the battery are also reduced due to the lack of the joint action of the silicon-based negative electrode material and the carbon-based negative electrode material.
[0312] The porosity of the porous silicon material in Comparative Example 4 is low, which is not conducive to the rapid transportation of lithium ions and also not conducive to relieving the volume expansion effect of the material itself, so the cycle performance and fast-charging performance of the battery decrease significantly.
[0313] The D50 of the hollow core-shell structure silicon-carbon material in Comparative Example 5 is large, which is not conducive to the infiltration of the electrolyte, so it is also not conducive to the transportation of lithium ions and the electrical conductivity, resulting in a decrease in the cycle performance and fast-charging performance of the battery.
[0314] Further comparison of Example 1 and Examples 2-6 shows that when the doping elements A or B elements are replaced by other types of elements, the battery still has a high energy density and cycle capacity retention rate, a short fast-charging time, and good comprehensive performance. Moreover, through further comparison, the battery in Example 6 has the best performance, which shows that when the doping element A is Ti and V and the B element is Mn, the performance of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material and the lithium supplement agent can be further improved, and a certain synergistic effect can be produced, which is more conducive to widening the Li + transportation channels, increasing the Li + diffusion coefficient, and further optimizing the material performance, thereby optimizing the cycle performance, fast-charging performance and energy density of the battery.
[0315] Comparing example 1 with examples 7-10, it can be seen that when other kinds of silicon-based negative electrode materials are replaced or matched, the battery also has higher energy density and cycle capacity retention rate, and the fast charging time is shorter, and the comprehensive performance of the battery is better. It can also be seen that when the silicon-based negative electrode material is a mixture of three-dimensional porous silicon material and hollow core-shell structure silicon-carbon material, the performance of the battery is better, which shows that the matching of the two kinds of silicon-based negative electrode materials is more conducive to the performance of the negative electrode and the performance of the battery.
[0316] Comparing example 1 with examples 11 and 12, the D50 of lithium iron phosphate in example 11 is too small, and the D50 of the lithium supplement agent in example 12 is too large, which leads to a decrease in the performance of the battery. This is because the D50 of lithium iron phosphate and the D50 of the lithium supplement agent will affect the overall performance of the positive electrode, and thus affect the related performance of the battery.
[0317] Comparing example 1 with examples 13-14, the doping amount of element A in the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material in example 13 is too small, and the doping amount of element A in the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material in example 14 is too large, which leads to a decrease in the related performance of the battery in examples 13 and 14. This shows that the content of element A has a certain influence on the performance of the positive electrode material, and further limiting the content of element A within a certain range is more conducive to the performance of the positive electrode material, and further optimizes the performance of the battery.
[0318] Comparing example 1 with examples 16-19, the mass proportion of the lithium supplement agent in the total mass of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material and the lithium supplement agent is smaller and larger in examples 16 and 17, respectively, and the mass proportion of the silicon-based negative electrode material in the total mass of the carbon-based negative electrode material and the silicon-based negative electrode material is smaller and larger in examples 18 and 19, respectively, which leads to a decrease in the related performance of the battery in examples 16-19. This shows that the content or proportion of each active material has a certain influence on the positive electrode or the negative electrode, and thus the performance of the battery is also affected.
[0319] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents, and these modifications or replacements are within the scope of protection of the present application.
