[0038] The a, k and h satisfy the following relationship:
[0039] a×h / k=8×10 -4 ~10.
[0040] By controlling the manganese-iron ratio, acidity growth rate and peak intensity ratio when etching to a certain depth, the positive electrode sheet forms a stable CEI film containing boron (B) on the surface of the positive electrode sheet, preventing the dissolution of manganese ions, reducing active lithium consumption and improving the cycle.
[0041] In the present invention, a is the molar ratio of manganese element to iron element;
[0042] In the present invention, the value of a is preferably 0.1≤a≤9. If the Mn content is too high, the transition metal will be seriously dissolved, which will deteriorate the cycle; if it is lower than the above preferred value, the specific capacity will be deteriorated. Specifically, the value of a can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4 .4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.57.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9 or 9.0.
[0043] More preferably, 0.4≤a≤2.5. Within this range, the cycle performance of the battery is better.
[0044] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the value of a is 0.1, 2.8, 0.5, 2.3, 1.5, 0.4, 2.5, 1.5, 2, 0.4, 0.2, 9, 0.08, or 10.
[0045] In the present invention, k is the peak intensity ratio of boron during XPS etching. Its value reflects the boron content in the surface layer of the positive electrode sheet and can be used to reflect the presence of a certain amount of boron in the solid electrolyte membrane (CEI membrane) formed on the surface of the positive electrode active material. K is the peak intensity ratio of the B1s peak at a binding energy of 188-192 eV in the XPS plot when performing XPS etching analysis on the positive electrode sheet, reflecting the boron content in the surface layer of the positive electrode sheet. The unit is counts / s / nm. k = b / L, where b is the peak intensity of the B1s peak at a binding energy of 188-192 eV in the XPS plot when performing XPS etching analysis on the positive electrode sheet. For example, the peak intensity indirectly reflects the boron content; a higher peak intensity indicates a higher boron content at that depth. L is the depth of the positive electrode sheet during XPS etching, in nm. The role of element B in the surface layer: element B lacks electrons and can combine with anions or anionic groups to form polyanionic groups. The molecular orbital energy level is high and it is easily oxidized. It directly participates in the formation of CEI in the form of anionic groups, thereby protecting the positive electrode and reducing the risk of manganese dissolution in the positive electrode active material.
[0046] In the present invention, the value of k is preferably 5≤k≤400. When it is within the above preferred range, it can protect the positive electrode and avoid transition metal dissolution; at the same time, it can avoid impedance increase and cycle performance degradation. The value of K can be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180, 185, 190, 195, 200, 205, 210 , 215, 220, 225, 230, 235, 240, 245, 250, 255, 260, 265, 270, 275, 280, 285, 290, 295, 300, 305, 310, 315, 320, 325, 330, 335, 340, 345, 350, 355, 360, 365, 370, 375, 380, 385, 390, 395, or 400.
[0047] More preferably, 9≤k≤108; the value of k can be 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54 , 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, or 105.
[0048] In specific embodiments of the present invention, the value of k is 400, 5, 108, 12, 45, 95, 9, 380, 43, 90, 7, 125, 100, or 20.
[0049] In the present invention, h represents the acidity growth rate (unit: %). The acidity growth rate is the growth rate of hydrogen ion content generated when the positive electrode sheet is immersed in a mixed solution containing lithium perchlorate. Due to side reactions between the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte, electrons are gained or lost. EC borrows electrons from the LMFP during charge and discharge, and EC undergoes ring-opening dehydrogenation. Keeping the acidity growth rate within a certain range can protect the positive electrode sheet, reduce excessive side reactions between the positive electrode sheet and the electrolyte, and ensure kinetic performance. Excessive acidity growth rates increase side reactions between the lithium manganese iron phosphate and the electrolyte, deteriorating the cycle life. Excessively low acidity growth rates increase solid-phase diffusion of lithium ions, deteriorating kinetic performance. Therefore, the acidity growth rate h is preferably 3-18%, more preferably 4-16%. The acidity growth rate is dependent on various factors, such as the primary particle diameter, the thickness of the carbon layer of the positive electrode active material, and the amount of conductive agent in the positive electrode sheet.
[0050] In the present invention, the specific value of h can be 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, and 18%.
[0051] In specific embodiments of the present invention, the acidity growth rate h is specifically 3.2, 17.5, 4.5, 15.5, 7, 4.2, 16, 15, 16.2, 5, 3, 18, 2, or 19.
[0052] The present invention does not limit the test of acidity growth rate, and those skilled in the art can perform the test by conventional means; for example, the test can be performed by the following method:
[0053] 3 pieces of 7×7cm 2 The fully charged positive electrode was immersed in a mixed solution of EC, EMC and lithium perchlorate (the total mixed volume was 20 ml, the mass ratio of EC to EMC was 3:7, and the amount of lithium perchlorate added was 1 mol / L). It was stored at 60 °C for 2 days and the H + The H content in the solution was measured at 1 ppm. The solution was stored at 60°C for 3 days. + Amount m2 ppm; get H + Growth rate, that is, acidity growth rate h, h is (m2-m1) / m1.
[0054] The a, k and h in the present invention satisfy the following relationship: a×h / k=8×10 -4 ~10; in the above relationship, when the upper limit is exceeded, the manganese content is high, and the acidity growth rate is relatively large, if the B content is too low, a dense and stable CEI film cannot be formed at the positive electrode, resulting in more manganese dissolution, large active lithium consumption, and deterioration of the cycle performance; the above relationship exceeds the lower limit, and the boron (B) element content is too high, resulting in increased interface resistance (Rct), SEI film carbon source (Rsei) and diffusion resistance (Ws) during the cycle, resulting in poor cycle performance.
[0055] Specifically, a×h / k=0.0008, 0.0009, 0.001, 0.0015, 0.0020, 0.0025, 0.0030, 0.0035, 0.0040, 0.0045, 0.0050, 0.0060, 0.0070, 0.0080, 0.0090, 0.0095, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0 .14, 0.1436, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0.
[0056] In the present invention, the preferred range of a×h / k is 0.02-3; within this range, the cycle performance of the battery is more excellent.
[0057] In specific embodiments of the present invention, a×h / k=0.0008, 9.800, 0.0208, 2.9708, 0.2333, 0.0177, 4.4444, 0.0592, 0.7200, 0.0222, 0.0857, 1.2960, 0.0016, or 9.5000.
[0058] The active material in the positive electrode sheet provided by the present invention includes lithium iron manganese phosphate particles; the lithium iron manganese phosphate particles include primary particles, and the average particle size of the primary particles ranges from 50 to 170 nm, or may be 70 to 160 nm. Specifically, the average particle size of the primary particles is 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm, 105 nm, 110 nm, 115 nm, 120 nm, 125 nm, 130 nm, 135 nm, 140 nm, 145 nm, 150 nm, 155 nm, 160 nm, 165 nm, or 170 nm. The present invention does not regulate the method for adjusting the primary particle size. The primary particle size can be changed by regulating the sintering process or the grinding process. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the particle size of the primary particles is 162 nm, 76 nm, 151 nm, 95 nm, 130 nm, 155 nm, 93 nm, 92 nm, 41 nm, 202 nm, 132 nm, 200 nm or 136 nm.
[0059] The positive electrode sheet provided by the present invention uses the XPS method to characterize the intensity of the boron (B) element at a certain etching depth. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the peak intensity (F1) of the XPS at 10nm and the peak intensity (F2) at 35nm are greater than 0 and less than or equal to 2000. In the present invention, the B element is mainly in the CEI film layer on the surface of the positive electrode sheet. The B element mainly participates in the formation of the CEI film layer on the positive electrode surface. The presence of the B element on the surface contributes to the stability and density of the CEI film layer. If the B element is in the active material layer, direct contact between the electrode and the electrolyte causes corrosion of the positive electrode active material by the electrolyte, thereby reducing the cycle stability of the battery. By limiting the peak intensity to greater than 0 and less than or equal to 2000, the B element on the surface stabilizes the CEI layer and avoids the problem of excessive surface B. In the present invention, the difference between F1 and F2 is specifically 45, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, 1000, 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200, 1250, 1300, 1350, 1400, 1450, 1500, 1550, 1600, 1650, 1700, 1750, 1800, 1850, 1900, 1950 or 2000.
[0060] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the difference between F1 and F2 is 3950, 45, 600, 100, 420, 880, 75, 3550, 400, 750, 50, 980, 890 or 160.
[0061] The present invention adjusts the boron content in the positive electrode sheet to form a uniform CEI film on the positive electrode surface, inhibiting the dissolution of manganese ions, reducing the consumption of active lithium, and improving the cycle performance of the battery. In the present invention, the boron element is provided in the electrolyte and / or a boron-containing compound is provided in the positive electrode sheet.

[0224] ① Pretreatment: Disassemble the lithium-ion battery to obtain the positive electrode sheet, soak the positive electrode sheet in DMC (dimethyl carbonate) at room temperature for 60 minutes, take it out, and dry it at room temperature with a humidity of ≤15%; scrape the positive electrode active material layer on the surface of the current collector and calcine it at 400℃ for 3 hours to remove the conductive agent, binder, surface side reaction products, and residual electrolyte. After washing and drying, the positive electrode active material powder is obtained.
[0225] ② Accurately weigh 0.5g of cathode active material powder and disperse it in 20ml of water. Add 10ml of nitric acid, mix thoroughly, and heat. After the cathode active material powder dissolves, dilute to 100ml with water to obtain the test solution. Perform ICP testing on the test solution. Before testing, prepare a standard solution. The standard solution must have a linear correlation coefficient of 0.999 or higher to be used as a standard. Dilute the 1000 mg / L standard solution with deionized water to different concentrations (typically 0, 1 mg / 100ml, 2 mg / 100ml, and 3 mg / 100ml). Select the element detection wavelength and set the experimental conditions: Based on the sample characteristics and the elements to be detected, set the appropriate ICP instrument operating conditions: gas flow rate 0.5L / min, power 1150W, and select the element detection wavelengths of 259.94nm for Fe and 257.61nm for Mn. The Fe and Mn concentrations in the sample can be read using the ICP test software's self-analysis function.

[0227] ① Pretreatment: Disassemble the lithium-ion battery to obtain the positive electrode sheet, soak the positive electrode sheet in DMC (dimethyl carbonate) at room temperature for 60 minutes, take it out, and dry it at room temperature with a humidity of ≤15%;
[0228] ② XPS etching peak intensity ratio (k):
[0229] The electrode to be tested is subjected to XPS etching analysis, and the peak intensity b of the B1s peak at the binding energy position of 188-192 eV in the XPS graph is obtained. Specifically, the etching depth L can be selected to be 10 nm.
[0230] Where, k=b / L;
[0231] The sample is secured in an appropriate position, such as on conductive tape on a copper sheet, and then transported to the analysis chamber via a rapid sample loading chamber. A 120W monochromatized Al Kα X-ray source is used, with an energy resolution of 0.48 eV or less. The test beam spot is 400 microns, and the instrument automatically adjusts the test energy range based on the element being measured. Etching conditions: Ar ions are used for etching, and the etch depth is controlled by adjusting the etch rate and time. In this invention, the etch depth is 10 nm (or 35 nm). After the test, the instrument automatically displays the test results, including the peak intensity b. Combined with the etch depth L, b / L, the peak intensity ratio k is calculated.
[0232] Acidity growth rate:
[0233] Disassemble the fully charged battery (discharge the battery at 0.33C to a lower voltage of 2.5V, then charge it at a constant current of 0.33C to an upper voltage of 4.25V, and then charge it at a constant voltage until the current is less than or equal to 0.05C) to obtain the positive electrode sheet in the fully charged state. Soak the electrode sheet in DMC (dimethyl carbonate) for 1 hour, clean it, and dry it at 80℃ for 4 hours to obtain the positive electrode sheet. Cut the positive electrode sheet into 7cm×7cm pieces to be tested;
[0234] At 60°C, immerse the electrode to be tested in 20 ml of a mixed solution consisting of ethylene carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, and lithium perchlorate, wherein the volume ratio of ethylene carbonate to ethyl methyl carbonate is 3:7, and the molar concentration of lithium perchlorate in the mixed solution is 1 mol / L.
[0235] When the electrode to be tested is immersed in the mixed solution for 48 hours, the hydrogen ion content in the mixed solution is detected and recorded as h1 ppm; when the electrode to be tested is immersed in the mixed solution for 72 hours, the hydrogen ion content in the mixed solution is detected again and recorded as h2 ppm;
[0236] Calculate the growth rate of hydrogen ion content when the positive electrode is immersed in a mixed solution containing lithium perchlorate: h = (h2-h1) / h1×100%; this is the acidity growth rate.
[0237] The hydrogen ion content (h1, h2) in the mixed solution is detected by the following method:
[0238] Prepare a 0.05 mol / L triethylamine titrant by mixing triethylamine and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC). Take the mixed solution used to immerse the positive electrode as the test solution, add 10-30 drops of methyl red as an indicator, and drip the triethylamine titrant into the test solution containing methyl red. Record the amount of triethylamine titrant used when the test solution turns orange. Then calculate the hydrogen ion content according to the formula:
[0239] Hydrogen ion content = M × V × 20010 / m, the unit of hydrogen ion content is ppm;
[0240] Where: M is the concentration of triethylamine titrant, unit is mol / L,
[0241] V is the volume of titrant consumed by triethylamine, in mL.
[0242] m is the mass of the solution to be tested, in g,
[0243] 20010=20.01×10 3 , 20.01 is the molecular weight of HF. The fully charged positive electrode contains the electrolyte component LiPF6. The positive electrode active material reacts with EC and EMC to dehydrogenate and produce HF in the presence of LiPF6. The amount of HF represents hydrogen ions.
[0244] 400 cycles capacity retention test at 25°C:
[0245] At 25° C., the lithium-ion secondary batteries prepared in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to cycle tests according to the following procedure:
[0246] 1) Charge the battery at a constant current of 1C to 4.25V, then charge it at a constant voltage until the current is less than 0.05C. Repeat this process for more than three times and record the battery capacity C1.
[0247] 2) Charge at a constant current of 1C to 4.25V, and charge at a constant voltage until the current is less than 0.05C.
[0248] 3) Let it sit for 5 minutes;
[0249] 4) Discharge at a rate of 1C to 2.5V;
[0250] 5) Let it sit for 5 minutes,
[0251] Perform a cycle test according to steps 2) to 5) until the lithium-ion secondary battery has been cycled 400 times, and record the capacity C2 of the battery after 400 cycles.
[0252] 25℃ cycle capacity retention rate = C2 / C1×100%.
[0253] DCR growth rate:
[0254] The lithium-ion battery was fixed in capacity and charged to 4.25V at a constant current of 0.33C. Then, it was charged at a constant voltage to a cut-off current of 0.05C. The battery was discharged at 0.33C to adjust the load to 50% SOC, left to stand for 2 hours, and then discharged at 1C at 50% SOC. The initial battery internal resistance was obtained to obtain DCR1.
[0255] The lithium-ion battery was placed in a constant temperature box at 25°C, and the lithium-ion battery was discharged at a constant current of 0.33C. Then, the battery was cycled in the constant temperature box at a charge and discharge test rate of 1C / 1C and a cycle voltage range of 2.5-4.25V for a total of 400 cycles.
[0256] After 400 cycles, the battery was discharged at 0.33C to 50% SOC, left to rest for 2 hours, and then discharged at 1C at 50% SOC. The internal resistance of the battery after the cycle was measured to obtain DCR2.
[0257] The battery internal resistance test method is: take the voltage at the last second of static state as V0, the voltage after 18s discharge as V1, the current during discharge as I, DCR=(V0-V1) / I;
[0258] Calculate the DCR growth rate = (DCR2-DCR1) / DCR1×100%.
[0259] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the present invention provides a positive electrode sheet, wherein the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode active material, wherein the positive electrode active material includes lithium manganese iron phosphate particles; the molar ratio of manganese element to iron element in the positive electrode active material is a; the acidity growth rate of the positive electrode sheet is h, unit: %; k=b / L, wherein L is the depth of the positive electrode sheet etched by XPS, which is 10nm; k is the peak intensity ratio of the B1s peak at the binding energy of 188~192eV in the XPS graph when the positive electrode sheet is subjected to XPS etching analysis, unit: counts / s / nm; b is the peak intensity of the B1s peak at the binding energy of 188~192eV in the XPS graph when the positive electrode sheet is subjected to XPS etching analysis, unit: counts / s; a, k and h satisfy the following relationship: a×h / k=8×10 -4 By controlling the manganese to iron ratio, acidity growth rate, and peak intensity ratio at a certain etching depth, the positive electrode forms a stable CEI film containing B on the surface of the positive electrode, preventing the dissolution of manganese ions, reducing active lithium consumption, and improving the cycle.
[0260] Experimental results show that the batteries prepared in the present invention maintain a capacity of 60.3-96.4% after 400 cycles at room temperature, with a DCR growth rate of 24.3-56.1% after 400 cycles. In contrast, the batteries prepared in the comparative example maintain a capacity of 45.3-50.4% after 400 cycles at room temperature, with a DCR growth rate of 63-71.5% after 400 cycles. This indicates that by controlling experimental parameters such as a, k, h, a×h / k, and F2-F1, the present invention forms a stable boron-containing positive electrode solid electrolyte interface (CEI) film on the surface of the positive electrode sheet, preventing manganese ion dissolution, reducing active lithium consumption, and improving cycling.
[0261] In Examples 3 to 5 of the present application, the values of a×h / k, a, h, and k are all within the preferred range, and the peak intensity difference F2-F1 is also within the preferred range. The resulting battery has a capacity retention rate of 91.5-96.4% after 400 cycles at room temperature, and a DCR growth rate of 24.3-36.0% after 400 cycles. If any of the above values are not within the preferred range, the battery cycle performance will be slightly poor; for example, in Example 8 of the present application, a×h / k is 0.0592, which is within the preferred range of 0.02-3, but the peak intensity difference F2-F1 is 3550, and the surface peak intensity is large, which is not within the preferred range of 0-2000, resulting in slightly poor battery cycle performance.
[0262] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
