Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and in particular, to a method for activating lithium-ion batteries, and more particularly, to lithium-ion batteries and electronic devices. Background Art
[0002] Silicon negative electrode has been applied in high specific energy lithium-ion batteries by virtue of its advantages such as high specific capacity and low cost. However, it expands and generates stress during the charging and discharging process, which causes the battery to experience significant volume expansion during the charging and discharging process, especially during the initial activation process, and causes the electrode sheet to wrinkle. This problem is more significant in all-solid-state batteries using pure silicon negative electrode materials for the negative electrode. Since the aluminum-plastic film of soft-pack batteries is relatively thin, the constraint force on the internal electrode sheet is poor. Therefore, external pressurization is usually used in the production and testing process to reduce the internal resistance between the electrode sheets, constrain the expansion of the battery, and reduce the wrinkles of the negative electrode sheet, thereby improving the battery performance. The current common method is to place the soft-pack battery in a metal fixture, set the initial pressure, fix the fixture with bolts, and charge and discharge the battery. Due to the phase change of the positive and negative electrode materials during the process of lithium removal or lithium insertion, the volume of the material changes significantly, especially the expansion of the negative electrode brings obvious stress. The above-mentioned activation method using a metal fixture cannot release the stress caused by the phase change of the material, which hinders the lithium removal and insertion of the material and degrades the battery performance. In addition, the expansion of the electrode during the activation process increases the electrode porosity, and the electrolyte further enters the electrode pores, which is beneficial to improving the electrode uniformity and battery life. The fixed metal clamp inhibits the expansion of the battery and is not conducive to the infiltration of the electrolyte.
[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to develop new lithium-ion battery activation methods to improve battery performance. Summary of the invention

The activation method according to the embodiment of the present application can reduce ohmic impedance, relieve the stress caused by material phase change, reduce the resistance to lithium deintercalation of positive and negative electrode materials, and improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0020] Silicon negative electrodes have been used in high-energy lithium-ion batteries due to their advantages such as high specific capacity and low cost. However, they expand and generate stress during the charging and discharging process, causing the battery to experience significant volume expansion during the charging and discharging process, especially during the initial activation process, and causing the electrode sheets to wrinkle. This problem is more significant in all-solid-state batteries that use pure silicon negative electrode materials for the negative electrode. Since the aluminum-plastic film of soft-pack batteries is thin, the restraint force on the internal electrode sheets is poor. Therefore, in the process of producing and testing activated batteries, external pressurization is usually used to reduce the internal resistance between the electrodes, restrain the expansion of the battery, and reduce the wrinkles of the negative electrode sheets, thereby improving battery performance. The current common method is to place the soft-pack battery in a metal fixture, set the initial pressure, fix the fixture with bolts, and charge and discharge the battery. However, due to the phase change of positive and negative electrode materials during the process of lithium removal or lithium insertion, the volume of the materials changes significantly, especially the expansion of the negative electrode brings obvious stress. The fixed metal plate pressurization cannot release the stress caused by the phase change of the material, which hinders the lithium removal and insertion of the material. In addition, the expansion of the electrode during the activation process can promote the infiltration of the electrolyte, which is beneficial to improve the electrode uniformity and battery life. At present, there are production equipment that can realize the servo motor to control the constant external pressure during the battery activation process and perform segmented pressurization. However, the setting of the external pressure value also has a significant impact on the battery's pole piece contact, impedance value and other performance. Therefore, the determination of the pressure value is also very critical in the activation process.
[0021] Based on this, in one aspect of the present application, the present invention proposes an activation method, see specifically Figure 1 . According to an embodiment of the present application, the activation method includes: placing the lithium-ion battery in a pressurized fixture, dividing the voltage interval of the battery phase change into segments according to the differential capacity curve of the battery charging, and applying the external pressure value corresponding to each segment of the different voltage intervals of the lithium-ion battery through the pressurized fixture, so as to activate the lithium-ion battery for charge and discharge. The activation method according to the embodiment of the present application can reduce ohmic impedance, relieve the stress caused by material phase change, reduce the resistance to lithium deintercalation of positive and negative electrode materials, and improve the electrical performance of lithium-ion batteries, especially the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles and the liquid retention of the battery.
[0022] In some embodiments, the external pressure value corresponding to each segment of the lithium-ion battery in different voltage intervals is determined by measuring ohmic impedance through AC impedance spectroscopy.
[0023] In some embodiments, the voltage interval of the differential capacity curve is 5 to 50 mV, for example, it can be 5 mV, 10 mV, 15 mV, 20 mV, 25 mV, 30 mV, 35 mV, 40 mV, 45 mV, 50 mV or a range of 10 to 50 mV, 15 to 50 mV therebetween.
[0024] In some embodiments, the voltage interval of the differential capacity curve is 10-30 mV.
[0025] In some embodiments, the external pressure ranges from 0.1 MPa to 10 MPa, for example, it can be 0.1 MPa, 1 MPa, 2 MPa, 3 MPa, 4 MPa, 5 MPa, 6 MPa, 7 MPa, 8 MPa, 9 MPa, or 10 MPa.
[0026] In some embodiments, the external pressure ranges from 1 MPa to 10 MPa.
[0027] In some embodiments, the AC impedance spectrum test frequency range is 1 Hz to 100 kHz, for example, it can be 1 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 20 Hz, 30 Hz, 40 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 70 Hz, 80 Hz, 90 Hz, 100 Hz or a range of 5 Hz to 100 kHz therebetween, and the voltage amplitude is 2 to 10 mV, for example, it can be 2 mV, 3 mV, 4 mV, 5 mV, 6 mV, 7 mV, 8 mV, 9 mV, 10 mV or a range of 3 to 10 mV, 4 to 10 mV therebetween.
[0028] In some embodiments, the activation method includes the following steps: fully charging the lithium-ion battery after injection, and differentiating the charged capacity (Q)-voltage (V) curve to make a dQ / dV~V graph, and dividing the peak potentials of the dQ / dV~V curve into n voltage intervals, namely V1, V2...Vn, 0~V1, V1~V2, V2~...Vn, etc., placing the lithium-ion battery in a pressurizing tool, charging it to the starting voltage of the above voltage interval, applying different pressures, and after the pressure stabilizes, testing the ohmic internal resistance of the battery through an AC impedance spectrum to determine the pressure Px of each voltage interval, and when the battery voltage rises to the lower voltage limit of the interval, the pressurizing tool automatically adjusts the pressure to the pressure Px of the current interval until the entire activation charging process is completed.
[0029] In a second aspect of the present application, the present application provides a lithium-ion battery. According to an embodiment of the present application, the lithium-ion battery is obtained by activation treatment by the activation method described in the first aspect of the present application. According to the lithium-ion battery of the embodiment of the present application, the battery performance is improved.
