[0003] With the great development and wide application of secondary batteries, higher requirements have been put forward for their cycle performance, storage performance and other properties. Therefore, how to improve the cycle performance and storage performance of secondary batteries is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a positive electrode plate and a preparation method thereof, a battery cell, a battery and an electrical device. The battery containing the positive electrode plate has improved cycle performance and storage stability.

[0005] In a first aspect, a positive electrode plate is provided, comprising: a positive electrode current collector; a coating, wherein the coating is disposed on a surface of at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, the coating comprising a positive electrode active material and an additive, wherein the additive comprises a metal carbide.

[0006] The present application provides a positive electrode sheet, including a positive electrode current collector and a coating. Specifically, the coating is disposed on the surface of at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, and the coating includes a positive electrode active material and an additive, and the additive includes a metal carbide. The metal carbide can react with water. When the coating of the positive electrode sheet includes a metal carbide, the metal carbide used as an additive can react with trace moisture in the battery and consume the moisture in the battery, thereby improving the reaction of the trace moisture in the battery with the electrolyte components to produce acidic substances (such as HF, organic acid RH). + , H· free radicals, etc.), thereby improving the situation of acidic substances decomposing the interface film, so as to improve the cycle performance and storage stability of the battery. At the same time, metal carbides are inorganic compounds with a small molecular weight. When added to the coating of the positive electrode plate, the increase in the overall mass of the positive electrode plate is small; and when the additives in the embodiments of the present application react chemically with water, a small amount of metal carbides can consume more water, achieving a better dehydration effect, and better improving the cycle performance and storage stability of the battery.

[0049] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and optional technical features of this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0050] A secondary battery is a battery that can be used again after being discharged by recharging the active materials. Usually, a secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator and an electrolyte. During the battery charging and discharging process, active ions are embedded and released back and forth between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator is set between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to play an isolating role. The electrolyte plays the role of conducting ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

[0051] Secondary batteries may include lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, magnesium-ion batteries, etc. This application takes lithium-ion batteries as an example. Lithium-ion batteries are a typical type of secondary batteries. Since they rely on the chemical reaction of lithium ions being embedded and released between the positive and negative electrodes for charging and discharging, lithium-ion batteries are also called rocking-chair batteries. During the charging process of lithium-ion batteries, lithium ions are released from the positive electrode, moved and embedded in the negative electrode; and during the discharging process, lithium ions are released from the negative electrode, moved and embedded in the positive electrode.

[0052] In recent years, secondary batteries have been greatly developed and widely used in power tools, electronic products, electric vehicles, aerospace and other fields. At the same time, higher requirements are also placed on the volume capacity, energy density, cycle performance and storage stability of secondary batteries.

[0053] During the first charge of a secondary battery, the film-forming additives in the electrolyte will be reduced to form a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the surface of the electrode. The SEI film can prevent the non-aqueous organic solvent in the electrolyte from further decomposing and form ion channels in the subsequent charge and discharge cycles. However, trace amounts of water in the battery will react with the electrolyte components to generate acidic substances (such as HF, organic acid RH + , H· free radicals, etc.), causing the electrolyte to be continuously consumed, and the acidic substances will corrode and decompose the SEI film, eventually leading to the deterioration of the battery's cycle performance and storage performance.

[0054] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a positive electrode plate, including a positive electrode current collector and a coating disposed on the surface of at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, the coating including a positive electrode active material and an additive, and the additive including a metal carbide. Metal carbide can react with water. When the coating of the positive electrode plate includes metal carbide, the metal carbide used as an additive can react with trace moisture in the battery and consume the moisture in the battery, thereby improving the problem of trace moisture in the battery reacting with electrolyte components to produce acidic substances, thereby improving the situation of acidic substances decomposing the interface film, so as to improve the battery's cycle performance and storage stability. At the same time, metal carbide is an inorganic compound with a small molecular weight. When added to the coating of the positive electrode plate, the increase in the overall mass of the positive electrode plate is small; and when the additive in the embodiment of the present application reacts chemically with water, a small amount of metal carbide can consume more water, achieving a better dehydration effect, and better improving the battery's cycle performance and storage stability.

[0055] Several embodiments of the present application are described in detail below.

[0056] [Positive electrode]

[0057] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a positive electrode sheet according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the positive electrode sheet 1 includes a positive electrode current collector 10 and a coating 11 .

[0058] The coating 11 is disposed on the surface of the positive electrode current collector 10, for example, Figure 1 As shown, along the thickness direction of the positive electrode sheet 1 ( Figure 1 In the z direction), the positive electrode current collector 10 and the coating 11 are arranged in sequence.

[0059] The positive electrode current collector 10 has two surfaces arranged along its thickness direction. Figure 1 As shown, both surfaces of the positive electrode current collector 10 are provided with a coating layer 11 .

[0060] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a positive electrode sheet of an embodiment of the present application. In some other embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a coating layer 11 is provided on one of two surfaces of the positive electrode current collector 10 that are opposite to each other in the thickness direction.

[0061] The coating layer 11 includes a positive electrode active material and an additive, and the additive includes a metal carbide.

[0062] Metal carbides refer to binary compounds formed by carbon and an element with a smaller or similar electronegativity (except hydrogen). Carbides have a high melting point, and most carbides are obtained by the reaction of carbon and metal at high temperatures. For example, magnesium carbide, calcium carbide, etc.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the positive electrode plate 1 includes a positive electrode current collector 10 and a coating 11. Specifically, the coating 11 is disposed on the surface of at least one side of the positive electrode current collector 10, and the coating 11 includes a positive electrode active material and an additive, and the additive includes a metal carbide. The metal carbide can react with water. When the coating 11 of the positive electrode plate 1 includes a metal carbide, the metal carbide used as an additive can react with trace moisture in the battery and consume the moisture in the battery, thereby improving the reaction of trace moisture in the battery with electrolyte components to produce acidic substances (such as HF, organic acid RH). + , H· free radicals, etc.), thereby improving the situation of acidic substances decomposing the interface film, so as to improve the cycle performance and storage stability of the battery. At the same time, the metal carbide is an inorganic compound with a small molecular weight. When added to the coating 11 of the positive electrode plate 1, the increase in the overall mass of the positive electrode plate 1 is small; and when the additive in the embodiment of the present application reacts chemically with water, a small amount of metal carbide can consume a large amount of water, achieving a better dehydration effect, and better improving the cycle performance and storage stability of the battery.

[0064] In some embodiments, the additive may include at least one of calcium carbide, magnesium carbide, and aluminum carbide.

[0065] Calcium carbide, magnesium carbide and aluminum carbide can all react with water, and a small amount of calcium carbide, magnesium carbide and aluminum carbide can consume a lot of water, achieving a better dehydration effect and better improving the battery's cycle performance and storage stability. For example, magnesium carbide reacts with water to generate magnesium hydroxide and propyne, and the molar ratio of magnesium carbide and water participating in the chemical reaction is 1:4, that is, 1 mole of magnesium carbide can consume 4 moles of water.

[0066] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the coating 11 , the mass content of the additive in the coating 11 ranges from 0.05% to 0.5%.

[0067] Specifically, the mass content of the additive in the coating 11 may be 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, or a value between any two of the above values.

[0068] If the mass content of the additive in the coating 11 is too low, the additive content is insufficient and only a small amount of water in the battery can be consumed; if the mass content of the additive in the coating 11 is too high, the excess additive leads to material waste and increases the battery mass. Therefore, setting the mass content of the additive in the coating 11 within the above range is conducive to improving the performance of the battery.

[0069] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material includes at least one of an olivine structure phosphate material, a spinel material, and a layered transition metal oxide.

[0070] Olivine structure is a crystal structure of materials. Materials with olivine structure have high stability. When applied to battery cells, they can reduce the risk of fire and explosion of battery cells under high temperature and other conditions, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of battery cells. Olivine structure phosphate has the advantages of high theoretical specific capacity, good cycle stability, low cost and environmental friendliness. Spinel is a mineral composed of magnesium aluminum oxide, with tetrahedral and octahedral crystal forms. For example, spinel-type lithium manganese oxide materials have outstanding characteristics such as high specific capacity, low cost and low environmental pollution. Layered transition metal oxides as positive electrode active materials of batteries are a class of oxides with multilayer (generally two-dimensional) structures, which are obtained based on the redox reaction of transition metal cations and lattice oxygen anions, and have high energy and high power density. Layered transition metal oxides can be used as the second active material to increase the energy density of the battery. Olivine structure phosphate materials, spinel materials, and layered transition metal oxides are used as positive electrode active materials, which are beneficial to improve the performance of the battery.

[0071] Optionally, in some embodiments, the olivine structure phosphate material includes Li a Fe b M 1-b P 1-m O 4-n , wherein M includes at least one of the other metal elements except Fe, wherein 0≤a≤1.1, 0.3≤b≤1, 0≤m≤0.1, 0≤n≤0.1, and optionally, M includes at least one of Mn, Al, Cu, Mg, Zn, Ni, Ti, V, Zr, Co, Ga, Sn, Sb, Nb and Ge.

[0072] Optionally, the olivine structure phosphate material includes at least one of LiFePO4 and LiMnFePO4.

[0073] LiFePO4 has the advantages of long cycle life, good thermal stability, and high energy density; LiMnFePO4 also has the advantages of long cycle life and good thermal stability. Lithium iron phosphate and lithium manganese iron phosphate are used as positive electrode active materials to improve the cycle performance, energy density and safety of batteries.

[0074] Optionally, in some embodiments, the spinel material includes LiNi c Mn 2-c O4, where 0≤c<2.

[0075] Optionally, the spinel material includes lithium manganate. Lithium manganate used as a positive electrode active material has the advantages of low price, high potential, environmental friendliness, high safety performance, and good rate performance.

[0076] Optionally, in some embodiments, the layered transition metal oxide includes LiCoO2, LiMnO2, LiNiO2, Li a’ Ni x Co y M 1 1-x-y O 2+d 、zLi2MnO3·(1-z)LiM 2 O2, wherein M 1 Including at least one of Mn, Zr, Al, B, Ta, Mo, W, Nb, Sb, La, M 2 The invention comprises at least one of Co, Ni and Mn, 0.5≤x≤1.0, 0≤y<0.5, x+y<1, 0.2≤a'<1.2, -0.02≤d<0.02, 0<z<1.

[0077] Optionally, the layered transition metal oxide includes lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, such as Li(Ni 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 ) 1.15 O2, for example, Li(Ni 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 ) 1.07 O2.

[0078] Lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide used as positive electrode active material has the advantages of high energy density, high voltage platform, good thermal stability and good cycle performance.

[0079] It should be understood that the above-mentioned LiFePO4, LiMnFePO4, lithium manganese oxide, and lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide are only exemplary illustrations of the substances used as positive electrode active materials in the embodiments of the present application. The positive electrode active materials may include the above-mentioned substances, but are not limited to the above-mentioned substances. For example, the positive electrode active materials may also include lithium nickel phosphate, lithium cobalt phosphate, etc.

[0080] In addition, the battery will be accompanied by Li deintercalation and consumption during the charge and discharge process, and the molar content of Li is different when the battery is discharged to different states. In the list of positive electrode active materials in this application, the molar content of Li is the initial state of the material, that is, the state before feeding. The positive electrode active material is used in the battery system, and the molar content of Li will change after charge and discharge cycles.

[0081] In the list of positive electrode active materials in this application, the molar content of O is only a theoretical value. The release of oxygen from the lattice will cause the molar content of oxygen to change, and the actual molar content of O will fluctuate.

[0082] It should be understood that the value of the mass content of the additive in the coating 11 is related to the type of the positive electrode active material in the coating 11 (that is, it is related to the type of the battery system). For example, when the positive electrode active material in the coating 11 is an olivine structure phosphate material, the olivine structure phosphate material absorbs relatively more water, so the mass content of the additive in the coating 11 is relatively high, which can be 0.3% to 0.5%; for another example, when the positive electrode active material in the coating 11 is a spinel material or a layered transition metal oxide, the spinel material and the layered transition metal oxide absorb relatively less water, so the mass content of the additive in the coating 11 is relatively low, which can be 0.05% to 0.15%.

[0083] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the coating 11 , the mass content of the positive electrode active material in the coating 11 ranges from 93% to 99%.

[0084] Specifically, the mass content of the positive electrode active material in the coating layer 11 can be 93%, 94%, 95%, 95.5%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or a value between any two of the above values.

[0085] The mass content of the positive electrode active material in the coating layer 11 is set within the above range, which is beneficial to improving the performance of the battery.

[0086] In some embodiments, the coating 11 may further include a conductive agent.

[0087] Optionally, the conductive agent includes at least one of conductive carbon black, superconducting carbon, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and Ketjen black.

[0088] Conductive agents collect microcurrents between active materials to reduce the contact resistance of the electrode and accelerate the movement rate of electrons. They can also effectively increase the migration rate of metal ions in the electrode material, thereby improving the charge and discharge efficiency of the electrode. Due to the unique composition of the carbon structure, carbon material conductive agents have good conductivity. For example, conductive carbon black has the advantages of low resistance and high conductivity, small particle size, large and rough specific surface area, high structure, and clean surface (few compounds); Ketjen black has a unique branched morphology and thus has high conductivity; carbon atoms in carbon nanotubes adopt SP2 hybridization, so they have high modulus and high strength. Carbon nanotubes also have good flexibility, stretchability and conductivity. Conductive carbon black, superconducting carbon, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene and Ketjen black can be used as conductive agents to improve the conductivity of batteries.

[0162] [Example 2-12, Comparative Example 1-2]

[0164] Next, the battery performance testing process is described.

[0165] 3. Battery performance test

[0166] (1) 55℃ high temperature cycle test

[0167] Place the battery in a constant temperature box at 55°C, first charge the lithium-ion battery to 3.65V at a constant current of 2A; further charge at a constant voltage of 3.65V to a current of 250mA, and let it rest for 5 minutes; then discharge the lithium-ion battery to 2.5V at a constant current of 2A, and let it rest for 5 minutes; this is a charge and discharge cycle process, and the discharge capacity this time is the discharge capacity of the first cycle. The lithium-ion battery is subjected to multiple cycle charge and discharge tests in the above manner, and the discharge capacity of the 500th cycle is detected, and the capacity retention rate of the lithium-ion battery after the cycle is calculated by the following formula. The capacity retention rate of the battery after 500 cycles (%) = [discharge capacity of the 500th cycle / discharge capacity of the first cycle] × 100%.

[0168] (2) 55℃ high temperature storage test

[0169] At room temperature of 25℃, the lithium-ion battery is first charged to 3.65V at a constant current of 2A; further charged to a current of 250mA at a constant voltage of 3.65V and rested for 5min; then the lithium-ion battery is discharged to 2.5V at a constant current of 2A and rested for 5min; the lithium-ion battery is charged to 3.65V at a constant current of 2A again; and charged to a current of 250mA at a constant voltage of 3.65V again, and the lithium-ion battery is fully charged, with an initial full charge capacity of Q.

[0170] The fully charged lithium-ion battery was placed in a 55° C. constant temperature box for 7 days.

[0171] The lithium-ion battery that had been left standing for 7 days was then left standing at room temperature of 25°C for 4 hours. After the battery temperature returned to room temperature of 25°C, the lithium-ion battery was discharged to 2.5V at a constant current of 2A, and the discharge capacity Q1 of the lithium-ion battery was detected. The battery was left standing for 5 minutes.

[0172] Then the lithium-ion battery is charged to 3.65V at a constant current of 2A; charged to a current of 250mA at a constant voltage of 3.65V and left to rest for 5 minutes; and then the lithium-ion battery is discharged to 2.5V at a constant current of 5A, and the discharge capacity Q2 of the lithium-ion battery is obtained by detection.

[0173] After the battery is stored at a high temperature of 55°C for 7 days, the capacity retention rate (%) = [Q1 / Q] × 100%; the capacity recovery rate (%) = [Q2 / Q] × 100%.

[0174] The battery performances of Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-2 prepared were tested according to the above method. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0175] Table 1: Product parameters and performance test results of comparative examples and different embodiments

[0176]

[0177]

[0178] From the comparison of the results of comparative example 1-2 and example 1-12, it can be seen that by adding metal carbide additives to the coating of the positive electrode plate, the moisture content of the positive electrode plate is reduced more after being baked in the oven, and the corresponding lithium-ion battery has better cycle performance and storage stability.

[0179] From the comparison of the results of Examples 1-4, the comparison of the results of Examples 5-8, and the comparison of the results of Examples 9-12, it can be seen that within a certain range, the higher the additive content in the coating of the positive electrode sheet, the better the corresponding cycle performance and storage stability of the lithium-ion battery. When the additive content in the coating of the positive electrode sheet reaches a certain value, as the additive content increases, the performance improvement effect of the lithium-ion battery changes little. For example, in Example 4 relative to Example 3, the mass content of the additive in the coating is increased from 0.5% to 1.0%, and the cycle performance and storage stability of the lithium-ion battery are improved to a certain extent, but the improvement effect is not obvious. At the same time, since the additive content is doubled, the mass content of the positive electrode active material is reduced, which will reduce the energy density of the lithium-ion battery. Similarly, for example, Example 8 relative to Example 7 and Example 12 relative to Example 11. In the embodiments of the present application, under the same other conditions, the mass content of the additive in the coating of the positive electrode sheet is in the range of 0.05% to 0.5%, and the corresponding cycle performance and storage stability of the lithium-ion battery are significantly improved.

The above-mentioned embodiments are only examples, and the embodiments having the same structure as the technical idea and the same effect as the technical solution of the present application are all included in the technical scope of the present application. In addition, without departing from the scope of the main purpose of the present application, various modifications that can be thought of by those skilled in the art to the embodiments and other methods of combining some of the constituent elements in the embodiments are also included in the scope of the present application.
