Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and in particular to negative electrode sheets, lithium-ion batteries, and electrical equipment. Background Art

[0002] While lithium-ion batteries are widely used, they are also subject to increasingly high consumer demands, such as high energy density, fast charging speed, and long battery life. As the market's demand for energy density continues to rise, silicon-carbon anode materials with high gram capacity are gaining popularity and becoming the mainstream development trend. However, silicon-carbon batteries also suffer from the disadvantages of large volume expansion, poor low-temperature performance, and severe lithium deposition in corners. Therefore, suppressing the expansion of silicon-carbon materials during cycling has become a top priority.

[0003] The current mainstream method usually uses a double-layer coating technology, which mixes silicon-carbon materials with high-ED graphite and coats them on the bottom layer, and then coats the surface with fast-charging graphite materials. This method can, to a certain extent, suppress the expansion problem of silicon-carbon while ensuring the fast-charging performance of the battery system. However, research has found that this also inevitably leads to serious lithium deposition in the corners. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the problem of lithium deposition in the corners of the battery cells while improving the energy density and fast charging of the battery cells. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present application proposes a negative electrode sheet and an electrical device.

[0005] In a first aspect of the present application, a negative electrode sheet is provided, the negative electrode sheet comprising:

[0006] negative electrode current collector layer;

[0007] a first negative electrode active material layer, wherein the first negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer includes silicon carbon, first graphite and first hard carbon;

[0008] a second negative electrode active material layer, wherein the second negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode active material layer includes a second graphite and a second hard carbon;

[0009] Among them, the median particle size D of the first graphite 1 50 is 12μm~15μm, the median particle size D of the second graphite 3 50 is 3μm~10μm.

[0010] The negative electrode sheet according to the first aspect of the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The negative electrode sheet of the present application forms two active material layers on the negative electrode current collector. The composition of the first negative electrode active material layer at the bottom layer close to the negative electrode current collector includes silicon carbon, a first graphite with high ED and a first hard carbon, and the composition of the second negative electrode active material layer on the surface includes a second graphite with good fast charging performance and a second hard carbon. The bottom hard carbon is fully combined with silicon carbon, which can significantly suppress the volume expansion problem of silicon carbon and improve the overall compaction and low-temperature performance; the surface hard carbon is combined with the fast-charging graphite, and the large interlayer spacing and isotropic structure of the hard carbon can effectively shorten the lithium ion transmission path, improve the surface dynamics, and improve the problem of lithium deposition in the corners of the battery cell. Therefore, through the combination of the above-mentioned first negative electrode active material layer and the second negative electrode active material layer, while ensuring that the high energy density of the silicon-carbon material is fully utilized, the lithium deposition in the corners caused by insufficient dynamics is significantly improved. More importantly, it can significantly suppress the rebound expansion problem of the battery cell under the high silicon system. Specifically:

[0012] (1) The interlayer spacing of hard carbon (e.g., 0.380 nm) is larger than that of graphite (e.g., 0.335 nm), which is conducive to the rapid insertion and removal of lithium ions. At the same time, hard carbon has an isotropic structure, and lithium ions can be inserted from all directions at the same time, which is conducive to accelerating the efficiency of lithium insertion. Therefore, the surface mixed with hard carbon can make up for the defect of the long migration distance of lithium ions in the double-layer coating surface and improve the kinetics.

[0013] (2) Silicon carbon has a high gram capacity and is usually mixed with graphite. However, the volume expansion effect of silicon carbon itself makes the battery cell prone to failure during cycling. Hard carbon materials have more voids and a larger specific surface area. Mixing with silicon carbon can provide more space for stress release, thereby suppressing its cyclic expansion problem. At the same time, the voids in hard carbon can effectively store electrolyte, which is beneficial to improving the battery cell's liquid retention capacity under high-pressure and dense systems.

[0014] (3) The hard carbon itself has a low compaction. By introducing high-compacted graphite into the bottom layer and regulating the content and median particle size ratio of the bottom layer graphite to hard carbon, it is possible to ensure the compaction of the bottom layer without losing energy density while allowing the bottom layer to exert the high dynamic performance of hard carbon and improve the overall charging capacity of the battery cell.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio w2 of the first hard carbon in the first negative electrode active material is 2.5-10%, for example, 2.5%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, or 10%.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio w4 of the second hard carbon in the second negative electrode active material is 2.5-7.5%, for example, it can be 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, or 7.5%.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio w1 of the first graphite in the first negative electrode active material is 70-92.5%, for example, it can be 70%, 72%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 82%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 88%, 90%, 92%, or 92.5%.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio w5 of silicon and carbon in the first negative electrode active material is 5-20%, for example, it can be 5%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 18%, or 20%.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio w3 of the second graphite in the second negative electrode active material is 92.5-97.5%, for example, it can be 92.5%, 93%, 93.5%, 94%, 94.5%, 95%, 95.5%, 96%, 96.5%, 97%, or 97.5%.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the median particle size D of the first hard carbon is 2 50 is 3 μm to 5 μm, for example, 3 μm, 4 μm, and 5 μm.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, the median particle size D of silicon carbon is 5 50 is 6 μm to 10 μm, for example, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, and 10 μm.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the median particle size D of the second hard carbon is 4 50 is 3 μm to 5 μm, for example, 3 μm, 4 μm, and 5 μm.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the first negative electrode active material layer satisfies 0.56≤(D 1 50×w1+D 2 50×w2) / (D 1 50+D 2 50)≤0.71.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the second negative electrode active material layer satisfies 0.44≤(D 3 50×w3+D 4 50×w4) / (D 3 50+D 4 50)≤0.7.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the second negative electrode active material layer and the first negative electrode active material layer satisfy 0.06≤(D 4 50×w4+D 550×w5) / (D 5 50+D 4 50) ≤ 0.22. The hard carbon content in the second negative electrode active material layer is similarly related to the silicon-carbon content in the first negative electrode active material layer. A higher silicon-carbon content increases the hard carbon content in the first negative electrode active material layer to suppress its expansion. However, to maintain the battery cell's chargeability, the hard carbon content in the second negative electrode active material layer must be reduced. When this relationship is met, both good chargeability and low expansion can be achieved.

[0026] By controlling the median particle size and mass ratio of the different active materials in the first and second negative electrode active material layers, the resulting negative electrode sheets achieve both high gram capacity and excellent kinetic performance, significantly improving the problem of lithium deposition in the cell corners. Most importantly, breakthrough progress has been made in addressing the issue of cyclic expansion in silicon-based batteries.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the first negative electrode active material layer to the second negative electrode active material layer is 9:1 to 1:9, for example, it can be 9:1, 8:1, 7:1, 6:1, 5:1, 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, or 1:9.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the specific surface area S of the first hard carbon and the specific surface area S of the second hard carbon are independently 6 to 15 m 2 / g, for example, it can be 6m 2 / g、7m 2 / g、8m 2 / g、9m 2 / g、10m 2 / g、11m 2 / g、12m 2 / g、13m 2 / g、14m 2 / g、15m 2 / g. Generally speaking, the smaller the particle size, the larger the specific surface area, which can effectively release the stress caused by silicon expansion.

[0054] Examples 1 to 17

[0055] Examples 1 to 17 provide a lithium-ion battery, the composition and preparation of each part of which are as follows:

[0056] (1) Positive electrode

[0057] The active material LiCoO2, conductive agent superconducting carbon (Super P), conductive agent carbon nanotubes, and binder polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are fully dispersed and evenly coated on the aluminum foil current collector in an N-methylpyrrolidone solvent system in a mass ratio of 97.6:0.6:0.5:1.3, and then cold-pressed and stripped to obtain the positive electrode sheet.

[0060] (3) Diaphragm

[0062] (4) Electrolyte

[0063] Ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), and propyl propionate (PP) are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1:4:4, and then the fully dried lithium salt LiPF6 is dissolved in a mixed organic solvent at a ratio of 1 mol / L to prepare an electrolyte.

[0064] (5) Full battery preparation

[0065] The above-mentioned positive electrode sheet, separator, and negative electrode sheet are made into a bare battery cell, which is then encapsulated and injected with electrolyte to produce a finished lithium-ion battery.

[0066] The compositions of the first negative electrode active material and the second negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer and the second negative electrode active material layer are shown in the following table:

[0067] Table 1. Negative electrode composition

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] In addition, Comparative Examples 1 to 9 were set with reference to the above-mentioned Examples 1 to 17.

[0071] The performance of the negative electrode sheets and lithium batteries of the embodiments and comparative examples were tested by the following methods:

[0072] (1) Negative electrode sheet half-charge rebound compaction: disassemble the battery cell after capacity division, take the negative electrode sheet and use a micrometer to measure the thickness. The obtained electrode sheet thickness and current collector thickness are calculated by double-sided coating surface density / (electrode sheet thickness-foil thickness), and the unit is g / cm 3 The greater the rebound compaction, the smaller the rebound thickness of the negative electrode sheet, and the less energy density the battery cell loses.

[0073] (2) Energy density: calculated according to the following formula: discharge capacity per cell / (cell width × cell thickness × cell length), unit: Wh / L.

[0074] (3) Cycle retention rate: The battery cell is charged to 4.1V at 2.5C, 4.2V at 2C, 4.3V at 1.5C, and 4.53V at 1C. After 500 cycles, the remaining capacity is the percentage of the initial capacity.

[0075] (4) Cyclic expansion rate: The cell is charged at a rate of 2.5C to 4.1V, a rate of 2C to 4.2V, a rate of 1.5C to 4.3V, and a rate of 1C to 4.53V. The difference between the thickness of the cell after 500 cycles and the initial half-charge thickness (i.e., the thickness of the cell at half-charge voltage of 3.9V) is the percentage of the initial half-charge thickness.

[0076] (5) Rate discharge: Fully charge the cell to 4.53V, and then discharge it at 0.2C to 3.0V to obtain the initial capacity. After fully charging the cell, discharge it at 2.5C to 3.0V to obtain the percentage of the initial capacity of the cell.

[0077] (6) Corner lithium deposition interface: obtained by disassembling the battery cell after 500 cycles.

[0078] The results are shown in Table 2:

[0079] Table 2. Performance test results of examples and comparative examples

[0080]

[0081] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, compared to the case where no hard carbon is added to the first negative electrode active material layer and the second negative electrode active material layer, after adding hard carbon to the first negative electrode active material layer or the second negative electrode active material layer, the negative electrode sheet half-electric rebound compaction, the battery's energy density, room temperature cycle retention rate, and 2.5C rate discharge all showed significant improvements, the expansion rate after 500 cycles at room temperature decreased significantly, and the lithium precipitation situation improved significantly. However, when a certain amount of hard carbon is added to the first negative electrode active material layer and the second negative electrode active material layer at the same time, the improvement in the negative electrode sheet half-electric rebound compaction, the battery's energy density, room temperature cycle retention rate, and 2.5C rate discharge is much greater than the improvement brought by the addition of either alone and the sum of the increases brought by the two. The same is true for the decrease in the expansion rate after 500 cycles at room temperature. The improvement in the lithium precipitation situation is even more obvious. The improvement in the lithium precipitation situation is not obvious when added alone. Only when it is added to the first negative electrode active material layer and the second negative electrode active material layer at the same time can it be significantly improved.

[0082] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, after adding hard carbon to the first negative electrode active material layer, the half-electric rebound compaction of the negative electrode sheet, the energy density of the battery, the room temperature cycle retention rate, and the 2.5C rate discharge are greatly improved. The expansion rate after 500 cycles of room temperature cycling has dropped significantly, and the lithium plating situation has improved significantly.

[0083] Comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 4 to 5, when the median particle size of the graphite in the first active material layer is too small or too large, (D 1 50×w1+D 2 50×w2) / (D 1 50+D 2 50) is not within the range of 0.56 to 0.71, the energy density and room temperature cycle retention rate of the battery are reduced to varying degrees, and the lithium plating situation is worsened.

[0084] Comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 6 to 7, when the median particle size of the graphite in the first active material layer is too small or too large, that is, (D 3 50×w3+D 4 50×w4) / (D 3 50+D 4 50) is not within the range of 0.44 to 0.7, the energy density and room temperature cycle retention rate of the battery are reduced to varying degrees, and the lithium plating situation is worsened.

[0085] Comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 8 to 9, when the silicon carbon content in the first active material layer is too little or too much, that is, (D 4 50×w4+D 5 50×w5) / (D 5 50+D 4 50) is not between 0.06 and 0.22 or (D1 50×w1+D 2 50×w2) / (D 1 50+D 2 50) is not within the range of 0.56 to 0.71, the battery's energy density, room temperature cycle retention rate, and lithium plating at the negative electrode corner are all affected to varying degrees.

[0086] Comparing Examples 1 to 3, with the increase of the hard carbon content in the first negative electrode active material layer, the half-charge rebound compaction and 2.5C rate discharge of the negative electrode sheet gradually increased, and the energy density and room temperature cycle of the battery first increased and then decreased. This was mainly due to the loss of capacity caused by the addition of hard carbon, while the expansion rate of 500 cycles at room temperature gradually decreased, and the lithium plating situation gradually improved.

[0087] Comparing Examples 1, 4, and 5, increasing the hard carbon content in the second negative electrode active material layer shows that the negative electrode sheet half-charge rebound compaction, battery energy density, and room temperature cycle retention first increase and then decrease. Expansion after 500 cycles of room temperature cycling first decreases and then increases, 2.5C rate discharge gradually increases, and lithium deposition performance also gradually improves. The 5% hard carbon content in Example 1 is optimal.

[0088] Comparing Examples 1, 6, and 7, as the silicon-carbon content in the first negative electrode active material layer increases, the half-charge rebound compaction of the negative electrode sheet gradually decreases, the energy density of the battery first increases and then decreases, the room temperature cycle retention rate gradually decreases, the expansion rate after 500 cycles of room temperature cycling gradually increases, the 2.5C rate discharge gradually decreases, and the lithium plating situation gradually deteriorates.

[0089] Comparing Examples 1, 8, and 9, as the median particle size of silicon carbon in the first negative electrode active material layer gradually increases, the half-electric rebound compaction of the negative electrode sheet gradually decreases, the energy density and room temperature cycle retention of the battery first increase and then decrease, the expansion of 500 cycles of room temperature cycle first decreases and then increases, and the 2.5C rate discharge gradually decreases.

[0090] Comparing Examples 1, 10, and 11, as the median particle size of graphite in the first negative electrode active material layer gradually increases, the half-electric rebound compaction of the negative electrode sheet gradually decreases, the energy density and room temperature cycle retention of the battery first increase and then decrease, the expansion of 500 cycles of room temperature cycle first decreases and then increases, the 2.5C rate discharge gradually decreases, and the lithium plating situation gradually improves.
