[0002] AA or AAA type batteries are widely used in various portable small electronic devices and household appliances. They are divided into primary batteries and secondary batteries. Primary batteries have certain recycling pollution problems. Secondary batteries are usually used in some applications with high frequency of use. Secondary batteries include nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and lithium-ion batteries. However, since the voltage of the former two is 1.2V, their application is limited. The voltage of lithium-ion batteries can reach 3.7V, which can completely replace primary batteries and has high energy density. At present, the AA or AAA type secondary lithium-ion batteries on the market usually use positive electrode materials such as lithium cobalt oxide and lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, which are relatively expensive.

They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed in a specific direction, etc., and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application according to specific circumstances.

[0058] The present invention provides a fast-charging AA or AAA lithium-ion battery, comprising a housing, a battery cell disposed in the housing, a control circuit board, and an upper sealing cover and a lower sealing cover for sealing the housing; a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, a separator, and an electrolyte are disposed in the battery cell; the positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode membrane disposed on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector and comprising lithium iron phosphate; the negative electrode sheet comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode membrane disposed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector and comprising graphite; the ineffective pore porosity H of the positive electrode membrane is c % is less than 15%, the ineffective porosity Hc % is defined as the ratio of the volume of invalid pores in the positive electrode membrane to the total volume of the positive electrode membrane. Invalid pores refer to the volume of the space in the positive electrode membrane that cannot be infiltrated by the electrolyte except for the lithium iron phosphate body. The density of the electrolyte is 1.1-1.25g / cm 3 .

[0059] Currently, fast-charging batteries used in commercially available consumer electronics typically utilize layered cathode materials such as lithium cobalt oxide and lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide. These cathode materials, due to their inclusion of cobalt metal, are relatively expensive. Lithium iron phosphate, however, is expected to gradually replace layered cathode materials in the 3C industry due to its widespread availability, low price, and high safety. However, the self-limiting nature of the spinel structure of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials results in low lithium ion transport efficiency, resulting in slower charge and discharge rates.

[0060] The present invention provides a battery cell with fast charging performance suitable for AA or AAA lithium ion batteries, using lithium iron phosphate as the positive electrode material, and the density of the electrolyte in the battery cell is 1.1-1.25 g / cm 3 , the ineffective porosity H of the positive electrode membrane c % is lower than 15%, so it has a higher charging efficiency, the 14C constant current ratio is maintained at more than 90%, and the capacity retention rate is maintained at more than 96% after 600 cycles at a 4C rate.

[0061] Ineffective pore porosity H c %

[0062] The volume of the positive electrode membrane includes the volume of lithium iron phosphate, conductive agent, binder, and pores, wherein the pores also include open pores and closed pores. The present invention defines the pores that cannot be wetted by the electrolyte as closed pores, and the pores that can be wetted by the electrolyte as open pores; therefore, the volume of the space in the membrane that cannot be wetted by the electrolyte other than the lithium iron phosphate body includes the volume of the conductive agent, binder, and closed pores; that is, Among them, V T is the total unit mass volume of the diaphragm (cm 3 / g), PD c The compaction density of the positive electrode sheet (g / cm 3 );V H is the unit mass volume excluding the lithium iron phosphate body (cm 3 / g), ρ c is the true density of lithium iron phosphate (3.6 g / cm 3 ),Right now V S is the electrolyte absorption volume per unit mass of the positive electrode membrane (cm 3 / g).

[0063] The lower the ineffective pore porosity of the positive electrode membrane, the more lithium iron phosphate active materials or the fewer closed pores. The more lithium iron phosphate active materials, the larger the capacity, and the fewer closed pores, the better the wettability of the electrolyte to the positive electrode membrane. Both are beneficial to improving the lithium ion transmission efficiency of the positive electrode sheet and improving its rate performance, thereby achieving fast charging.

[0064] Since the ineffective pore porosity of the positive electrode membrane is related to the compaction density of the positive electrode membrane and the electrolyte absorption capacity, the preparation process and the density of the electrolyte have a great influence on it. The density of the electrolyte provided by the present invention is 1.1-1.25 g / cm 3 In this density range, the electrolyte has good wettability to the electrode, reducing the closed pores of the positive electrode membrane.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ineffective pore porosity H of the negative electrode membrane is a % is 9~14%.

[0066] Similarly, the ineffective porosity H of the negative electrode membrane a % calculation method is the same as that of the positive electrode membrane, and H a The smaller the %, the more conducive it is to the deintercalation and insertion of lithium ions, and the better it is for improving its rate performance.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ineffective pore porosity H of the positive electrode membrane is c % satisfies 8% to 12%; within this range, the positive electrode film can achieve both good rate performance and cycle performance. c % should not be too low, as too low indicates that there is too little conductive agent or adhesive. The former will reduce the conductivity, while the latter will reduce the bonding strength between components and between the membrane and the current collector, making it easy for them to separate from each other as the cycle progresses, resulting in increased internal resistance.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ineffective pore porosity H of the positive electrode membrane is c % and the ineffective porosity H of the negative electrode membrane a % satisfies H a % / H c % = 1.12 ~ 1.17. Meeting this range ensures that during the charge and discharge process, the lithium ion insertion and removal rate in the positive electrode is balanced with the lithium ion insertion and removal rate in the negative electrode, thereby meeting the fast charging requirements and avoiding the inconsistent lithium ion insertion and removal rates that may lead to lithium plating or increased internal resistance, thereby ensuring the battery life and safety.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the compaction density PD of the positive electrode sheet is c 2.25~2.40g / cm 3 .

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the compaction density PD of the negative electrode sheet is a 1.40~1.60g / cm 3 .

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrolyte comprises, by mass percentage, 13% to 15% lithium salt, 5% to 6% additives and 79% to 81% solvent, the solvent comprising at least one of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, pentyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dipropyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, fluorobenzene and ethyl acetate; the additive comprises at least one of vinylene carbonate, vinyl sulfate, propane sultone, fluoroethylene carbonate and lithium difluorophosphate; and the lithium salt is LiPF6.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the negative electrode current collector is copper foil.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the positive electrode membrane also includes a positive electrode binder and a positive electrode conductor, and the mass ratio of lithium iron phosphate, positive electrode conductor, and positive electrode binder is 95-97:1.5-2.5:1-3; the positive electrode binder is polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF, and the positive electrode conductor is at least one of carbon black, acetylene black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, the negative electrode membrane also includes a negative electrode binder and a negative electrode conductor, and the mass ratio of graphite, negative electrode conductor, and negative electrode binder is 94.5~96.5:1~2:1~1.8:0.9~2; the negative electrode binder is at least one of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, styrene-butadiene rubber, and polyacrylic acid binders, and the negative electrode conductor is at least one of carbon black, acetylene black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrolyte injection coefficient is 2.6 to 3.2 g / Ah.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the specific surface area of ​​lithium iron phosphate is 10 to 15 m 2 / g, tap density TD is 0.8~1.5g / cm 3 .

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the BET specific surface area of ​​graphite is 1 to 2.2 m 2 / g, tap density TD is 1~1.3g / cm 3 .

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, a negative electrode connecting piece is provided between the negative electrode terminal and the lower sealing cover, and one end of the negative electrode connecting piece abuts the negative electrode terminal, and the other end of the negative electrode connecting piece abuts the lower sealing cover.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, the charging protection circuit includes a voltage stabilization circuit and a charging control circuit.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first insulating device is provided between the upper sealing cover and the control circuit board.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, a second insulating device is provided between the control circuit board and the battery cell.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the charging interface is a Lightning interface or a Type C interface, preferably a Type C interface.

[0084] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a battery cell according to any of the above embodiments, comprising the following steps:

[0085] (1) lithium iron phosphate, a positive electrode conductive agent, a positive electrode binder and a solvent 1 are mixed to prepare a positive electrode slurry, the positive electrode slurry is coated on a positive electrode current collector, and the positive electrode sheet is obtained by drying, pressing, cutting and sheeting;

[0086] (2) Graphite, a negative electrode conductive agent, and a negative electrode binder are mixed, solvent 2 is added, and the mixture is stirred to prepare a negative electrode slurry, the negative electrode slurry is coated on a negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode sheet is obtained by drying, pressing, cutting, and sheeting;

[0087] (3) stacking the positive electrode sheet, separator, and negative electrode sheet in order and winding them to form a bare cell;

[0088] (4) The bare battery cell is fixed in the steel shell by spot bottom welding, and the electrolyte is injected after drying. Then, the battery cell is obtained by cap welding, sealing, standing, degassing, forming and aging.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, drying and pressing includes drying the current collector coated with the positive electrode slurry or negative electrode slurry until the weight loss is 50% to 90% of the weight loss when dried to constant weight, removing the current collector and pressing it; then continuing to dry it to constant weight and pressing it again. Preferably, the pressing conditions are: a pressing temperature below 25°C, a pressing pressure of 0.1 to 0.5 MPa, and a pressing time of 60 to 120 seconds.

[0090] In the prior art, a current collector coated with positive / negative electrode slurry is typically dried to a constant weight and then cold-pressed to produce a pole piece. The principle behind controlling the compaction density is to achieve a pole piece with a certain compaction density by controlling the surface density during the coating process and the thickness of the cold-pressed portion. This approach produces a large number of closed pores, thereby increasing the ineffective porosity of the pole piece. The present invention creatively cold-presses the pole piece while it is still wet. The positive electrode membrane on the wet pole piece retains a certain degree of fluidity. Cold-pressing this membrane can rearrange the components within the membrane, facilitating the expulsion of gas trapped in the closed pores and thus reducing the number of closed pores. It should be noted that cold-pressing the current collector coated with positive / negative electrode slurry when its weight loss is 50% to 90% of the weight loss upon drying to a constant weight is a result of extensive testing that demonstrates optimal results. If the weight loss rate is greater than 90%, the reduction in closed pores is less effective. If the weight loss rate is less than 50%, the membrane's high fluidity can easily lead to sticking to the roller. In addition, cold pressing is more effective than hot pressing. That is, using rollers with a temperature below 25°C during pressing helps the surface of the diaphragm to harden quickly the moment the rollers contact the diaphragm, preventing sticking. After the electrode is dried to a constant weight, cold pressing is performed again to control the compaction density.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, solvent 1 is N-methylpyrrolidone NMP, and solvent 2 is deionized water.

[0158] The electrical performance of the battery cells prepared in the above examples and comparative examples was tested:

[0159] Test Case 1 Rate Performance

[0160] The rate performance test of the battery cells prepared in the examples and comparative examples was carried out, comprising the following steps:

[0161] (1) Carry out 1C calibration test on the battery cell at room temperature;

[0162] (2) The battery cell was discharged at a constant current of 1C to 2.0V and allowed to stand for 60 minutes. The battery cell was charged at a constant current of 1C, 4C, 8C, and 15C to 3.7V, and then charged at a constant voltage to 0.05C. The constant current charging time and charging capacity were calculated to calculate the constant current ratio; constant current ratio = constant current charging capacity ÷ (constant current charging capacity + constant voltage charging capacity) × 100%.

[0163] The constant current ratio can reflect the characteristics of the battery during the charging and discharging process, especially the efficiency and stability in the constant current stage. A higher constant current ratio usually means that the battery charges or discharges faster in the constant current stage and has better battery performance.

[0164] The charging constant current ratio and total charging capacity of the battery cell are shown in Table 1.

[0165] Test Example 2 Cyclic Stability

[0166] The battery cells prepared in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to a cycle stability test, comprising the following steps:

[0167] (1) Carry out 1C calibration test on the battery cell at room temperature;

[0168] (2) The battery cell is discharged at a constant current of 4C to 2.0V and left to stand for 60min; then charged at a constant current of 4C to 3.7V, and then charged at a constant voltage to 0.05C cut-off, and left to stand for 60min;

[0169] (3) Repeat step (2) to perform a cell cycle test and calculate the capacity retention rate after different cycle times.

[0170] Table 1

[0171]

[0172] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the constant current ratio of the battery cell prepared in the embodiment of the present invention is higher than that of the comparative example, which shows that the positive electrode membrane of the battery cell provided by the present invention meets the requirements of the ineffective pore porosity H. c When the battery capacity is lower than 15%, it has a good charging rate and can achieve fast charging.

[0173] Comparing Examples 1 to 3, it can be seen that when the negative electrode membrane remains unchanged, the H c The lower the % is, the higher the constant current ratio of the battery cell is, but the worse the cycle performance is. The comprehensive performance of Example 2 is the best. c The lower the H %, the more lithium ion or electron transmission paths there are, which is more conducive to improving the charge and discharge efficiency. c A low Ha% / Hc% indicates a low binder content, which can easily lead to pores between positive electrode membrane components or between the positive electrode membrane and the current collector, increasing internal resistance and increasing battery polarization with cycling. Example 2's Ha% / Hc% is 1.17, within the preferred range of 1.12 to 1.17, thus achieving both good rate capability and cycling performance.

[0174] Comparing Examples 2, 4, and 5, it can be seen that the composition and density of the electrolyte have an impact on the ineffective pore porosity of the positive and negative electrode membranes. Specifically, the composition and density of the electrolyte affect its wettability to the membranes, resulting in changes in the electrolyte absorption by the positive and negative electrode membranes, and thus changes in the ineffective pore porosity of the positive and negative electrode membranes. The lower the density of the electrolyte, the better the wettability to the membrane, and therefore the greater the electrolyte absorption by the membrane; however, due to the difference in wettability between the positive and negative electrode membranes, the density of the electrolyte has a nonlinear effect on Ha% / Hc%. The test results show that a higher or lower electrolyte density will cause Ha% / Hc% to fall outside the preferred range of 1.12 to 1.17. Therefore, the cycle stability of Examples 4 and 5 is lower than that of Example 2. This is because the drop of Ha% / Hc% outside the preferred range reduces the matching of the lithium ion or electron migration rates of the positive and negative electrodes, leading to battery polarization.

[0175] Examples 1 to 3 control the ineffective pore porosity of the positive electrode sheet by regulating the weight loss rate during the atmospheric pressure drying stage when preparing the positive electrode sheet. When the weight loss rate is 70% to 80% (Example 2), the obtained Ha% / Hc% meets the preferred range, taking into account good rate performance and cycle performance. When the weight loss rate is 50% to 60% (Example 1), due to the large amount of solvent remaining in the positive electrode film layer, the volume expands excessively during subsequent vacuum drying, and the amount of ineffective pores increases; when the weight loss rate is 60% to 70% (Example 3), due to the small amount of solvent remaining in the positive electrode film layer at this time, the fluidity of the component during cold pressing decreases, and the effect of improving the compaction density and eliminating ineffective pores decreases.

[0176] The positive electrode membranes of Example 1 and Example 7 have the same compaction density, but due to the different electrolyte components and densities, the components and preparation processes of the positive electrode membranes are different, which ultimately leads to different invalid pore porosities, thereby affecting their rate performance.

[0177] Test Example 3 High Power Charging Performance

[0178] The charging time test of the batteries prepared in the examples and comparative examples comprises the following steps:

[0179] (1) Before assembling into batteries, discharge the cells at a constant current of 4C to 2.0V, and then assemble into AA batteries;

[0180] (2) The battery was charged at 18W (5V / 3A), 30W (15V / 2A), and 60W (20V / 3A), respectively, and the time required to charge to 80% SOC was recorded. The results are listed in Table 2.

[0181] The battery prepared in the embodiment and the comparative example was subjected to a charging stability test, comprising the following steps:

[0182] (1) Before assembling into batteries, discharge the cells at a constant current of 4C to 2.0V, and then assemble into AA batteries;

[0183] (2) After fully charging the battery at 18W (5V / 3A), let it rest for 60 minutes, then discharge it at a constant current of 1C to 3V and let it rest for 60 minutes. The above is one cycle. For a total of 600 cycles, the charge capacity retention rate is measured as follows: the charge capacity of the first full charge cycle ÷ the charge capacity of the 600th full charge cycle × 100%.

[0184]

[0185] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the battery charging time is positively correlated with the constant current ratio of the battery cell. That is, the greater the constant current ratio of the battery cell, the better the fast charging performance of the battery prepared therefrom. In addition, the battery cell prepared by the present invention has good compatibility with the battery, and the battery capacity retention rate can still be maintained at a high level, indicating that the battery cell prepared by the present invention is suitable for preparing AA or AAA batteries with fast charging performance and is low in cost.

[0186] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
