Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a battery secondary liquid injection formation method and a battery. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in electric vehicles, laptops, and energy storage due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness. In the production process of lithium-ion batteries, the static process after injection is to fully infiltrate the electrode with the injected electrolyte. The quality of the infiltration plays a vital role in the SEI film formation and battery performance of the battery. In the actual production process, the battery after injection is usually placed in an environment of 25°C and 45°C successively, and the diffusion of the electrolyte inside the battery is used to achieve the infiltration of the core. In order to maintain sufficient infiltration, the total static time usually requires 16-24h. Longer static time increases energy consumption and reduces battery production efficiency. Therefore, it is urgent to develop such a low-energy and short-time infiltration method.
[0003] The methods for improving wetting reported so far mainly involve applying energy or mechanical force externally, including: (1) reciprocatingly squeezing the injected cell, utilizing the deformation of the core during the squeezing process to allow the electrolyte to penetrate the interior faster; (2) flipping the injected cell, utilizing the centrifugal force generated by the instrument and the gravity of the electrolyte to accelerate the entry of the electrolyte into the core; (3) evacuating the injected cell to a negative pressure or even a vacuum to extract the gas from the pores inside the battery and the core, allowing the electrolyte to enter the pores smoothly; and (4) ultrasonically treating the injected cell, utilizing the cavitation effect of ultrasound on the electrolyte to accelerate the wetting rate.
[0004] However, the above improvement methods all require additional equipment to process the battery cells, and the improvement effect is limited. Based on this, it is urgent to develop a convenient, fast-infiltration and improved-infiltration liquid injection method to improve battery production efficiency, reduce production costs, and further optimize battery performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items. The term "includes" or "comprising" described in the present invention means that it may include or contain other components in addition to the components described. The term "includes" or "comprising" described in the present invention may also be replaced by the closed form "for" or "consisting of..."
[0029] Since the quality of electrolyte wetting on the pole piece plays a crucial role in the SEI film formation and battery performance, in order to allow the injected electrolyte to fully infiltrate the pole piece, it is usually necessary to leave it for a long time after injection, which affects the production efficiency of the battery. Existing methods of improving the wetting effect of the electrolyte on the pole piece by applying external energy or mechanical force require additional equipment to process the battery cell, and the improvement effect is limited.
[0030] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present invention provide a secondary liquid injection formation method and a battery, comprising the following steps:
[0031] S1, providing a first electrolyte, injecting the battery for the first time and leaving it to stand, to obtain a single-injection battery; the first electrolyte does not contain an electrolyte salt;
[0032] S2, providing a second electrolyte, injecting the primary injection battery for a second time, vacuum sealing and then standing to complete the secondary injection process; the second electrolyte comprises fluorobenzene and electrolyte salt;
[0033] S3, performing chemical formation;
[0034] The injection volume of the first injection is m1, and the injection volume of the second injection is m2, satisfying 0.1≤m1 / m2≤1.5.
[0035] In order to solve the problems that the current methods used to fully infiltrate the electrode with the electrolyte are time-consuming, energy-intensive, or complicated to operate and have poor infiltration effects, which affect the battery production efficiency and battery performance, the present invention provides a battery secondary liquid injection formation method, in which the electrolyte is pre-formulated into a first electrolyte containing no electrolyte salt and a second electrolyte containing fluorobenzene and electrolyte salt, and the first electrolyte containing no electrolyte salt has good wettability to the electrode, an appropriate amount of the first electrolyte is first injected to quickly pre-infiltrate the electrode, and then a certain amount of the second electrolyte is injected, and on the basis of the pre-infiltration and in the presence of fluorobenzene, the wettability of the second electrolyte containing electrolyte lithium salt to the electrode can be effectively improved, thereby promoting the rapid and sufficient infiltration of the electrode by the electrolyte.
[0036] More importantly, in the above-mentioned injection process, the injection amount of the first electrolyte and the second electrolyte needs to be controlled. Since electrolyte salt is a necessary component of the electrolyte, if the injection amount of the first electrolyte is too much, the concentration of the electrolyte salt in the injected second electrolyte is too high, which will significantly increase the viscosity of the second electrolyte, and increase the time for the electrolyte to fully infiltrate the electrode. At the same time, after the second electrolyte is added, the concentration difference of the liquid lithium salt inside the battery increases, resulting in the electrolyte inside the battery core cannot be well mixed within the set infiltration time, which in turn leads to an increase in the difference in electrolyte composition in various parts of the core in the formation stage, affecting the uniformity of SEI film formation, and then affecting the battery cycle performance; but the injection amount of the first electrolyte should not be too small. Too little first electrolyte cannot complete the pre-infiltration of the battery core within the set infiltration time, and too much second electrolyte containing electrolyte lithium salt required to be added will increase the standing time and energy consumption required for full infiltration, affecting the infiltration efficiency and effect. Therefore, in order to effectively improve the wetting efficiency of the electrolyte on the battery without affecting the uniformity of SEI film formation in the formation stage, so as to improve the battery production efficiency while ensuring the battery cycle performance, the first electrolyte injection volume m1 and the second electrolyte injection volume m2 need to be controlled in the range of 0.1-1.5, for example, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, etc., more preferably in the range of 0.5-1, which can achieve sufficient wetting of the battery in a shorter time, and the battery prepared by the above method exhibits better cycle stability at both room temperature and high temperature.
[0037] In the present invention, the mass percentage of the electrolyte salt in the second electrolyte is preferably 5%-75%, such as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, etc., including but not limited to the mass percentages listed above. Preferably, the electrolyte salt can be selected from one or more of bistrifluoromethanesulfonyl imide lithium, bisfluorosulfonyl imide lithium, lithium acetate, lithium bisoxalate borate, lithium difluorooxalate borate, lithium trifluoroacetate, lithium fluoroalkyl phosphate, lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium perchlorate, and lithium fluoride.
[0038] In the present invention, the mass percentage of fluorobenzene in the second electrolyte is preferably 0.1%-10%, for example 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, etc., including but not limited to the mass percentages listed above.
[0039] In the present invention, the first electrolyte and the second electrolyte both contain an organic carbonate solvent; wherein the organic carbonate solvent is a cyclic carbonate solvent and / or a chain carbonate solvent; preferably, the cyclic carbonate is selected from one or more of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, and butylene carbonate, and the chain carbonate is selected from one or more of dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and ethyl methyl carbonate.
[0040] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first electrolyte and the second electrolyte both contain at least one cyclic carbonate solvent and at least one chain carbonate solvent; more preferably, the ratio of the cyclic carbonate solvent to the chain carbonate solvent in the first electrolyte and the second electrolyte is (1-2):(1-5), for example 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 2:1, 2:3, 2:4, 2:5, etc., including but not limited to the ratios listed above.
[0041] In the present invention, the first electrolyte and / or the second electrolyte further comprises an additive; the additive may be selected from one or more of vinylene carbonate, vinylene carbonate, 1,3-propane sultone, vinyl sulfate, propylene sultone, methylene disulfonate, tris(trimethylsilyl)borate, tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphate, adiponitrile, maleic anhydride, triallyl isocyanate and trimethylsilyl diethylamine.
[0042] In the present invention, in step S1, the standing temperature is preferably 15-35° C., and the standing time is preferably 2-12 h, for example, standing at 25° C. for 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 10 h or 12 h.
[0043] In the present invention, in step S2, the vacuum degree of vacuum sealing is preferably lower than -70KP; the standing temperature after vacuum sealing is preferably 15-35°C, and the standing time is preferably 4-16h, for example, standing at 25°C for 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 14h or 16h, etc.
[0044] In the present invention, step S1 and step S2 are performed under the condition of an ambient dew point of -80 to -20°C, more preferably -70 to -40°C, to control the ambient humidity during the injection process.

[0086] Performance Testing
[0087] The cycle performance of the lithium ion batteries prepared in the above examples and comparative examples was tested as follows:
[0088] 1. Test method for 25℃ normal temperature cycle performance
[0089] Place the lithium-ion battery in a 25°C constant temperature box and let it stand for 30 minutes to allow the lithium-ion battery to reach a constant temperature; discharge it to 2.0V at a constant current of 1C and let it stand for 30 minutes; charge it to 3.65V at a constant current of 1C, and charge it at a constant voltage to a current of 0.05C; let it stand for 30 minutes; discharge it to 2.0V at 1C again. The capacity of this step is used as the benchmark and recorded as the discharge capacity of the first cycle. This step is repeated 500 times, and the discharge capacity of the 500th cycle is recorded. The capacity retention rate is calculated as follows: discharge capacity of the 500th cycle / discharge capacity of the first cycle × 100%.
[0090] 2. Test method for 45℃ high temperature cycle performance
[0091] Place the lithium-ion battery in a 45°C constant temperature box and let it stand for 60 minutes to allow the lithium-ion battery to reach a constant temperature; discharge it to 2.0V at a constant current of 1C and let it stand for 30 minutes; charge it to 3.65V at a constant current of 1C, and charge it at a constant voltage to a current of 0.05C; let it stand for 30 minutes; discharge it to 2.0V at 1C again. The capacity of this step is used as the benchmark and recorded as the discharge capacity of the first cycle. This step is repeated 500 times, and the discharge capacity of the 500th cycle is recorded. The capacity retention rate is calculated as follows: discharge capacity of the 500th cycle / discharge capacity of the first cycle × 100%.
[0092] The test results are shown in Table 2 below:
[0093] Table 2
[0094] Test Example 25℃ room temperature cycle performance (%) 45℃ high temperature cycle performance (%) Example 1 83.1 84.8 Example 2 88.7 86.4 Example 3 87.5 87.3 Example 4 91.2 88.1 Example 5 90.1 87.6 Example 6 87.1 86.3 Comparative Example 1 71.4 75.2 Comparative Example 2 88.4 86.1 Comparative Example 3 77.4 78.3 Comparative Example 4 81.9 82.1
[0095] It can be seen from Tables 1 and 2 that, compared with the lithium ion battery prepared by the single liquid injection formation method in Comparative Example 1, under the same liquid injection standing time, the lithium ion batteries prepared by the secondary liquid injection formation method in Examples 1-6 show better cycle stability at room temperature and high temperature; and Comparative Example 2 further increases the standing time from 14h to 24h on the basis of the single liquid injection formation method, and the cycle performance of the prepared lithium ion battery is significantly improved, which also shows that the secondary liquid injection method provided by the present invention is more conducive to the electrolyte to achieve full infiltration of the battery in a short time.
[0096] In addition, it can be seen from Examples 1-6 that the ratio of the primary injection volume m1 to the secondary injection volume m2 in the secondary liquid injection formation method will affect the cycle performance of the battery. When the ratio of m1 / m2 is in the range of 0.33-1.4, as m1 / m2 increases, the cycle stability of the battery at room temperature and high temperature first increases and then decreases with the increase of the ratio. This is because if the value of m1 / m2 is too small, the amount of the first electrolyte injected is small, and the pre-infiltration of the battery core cannot be completed well within the set infiltration time, which then deteriorates the overall infiltration effect and affects the battery cycle performance; at the same time, if the value of m1 / m2 is too large, the lithium salt concentration in the second electrolyte is high, which will significantly increase the viscosity of the second electrolyte, and at the same time increase the concentration difference of the liquid lithium salt in the battery after the second electrolyte is added, resulting in the electrolyte inside the battery core cannot be well mixed within the set infiltration time, which then leads to an increase in the difference in the electrolyte composition of each part of the core in the formation stage, affecting the uniformity of SEI film formation, and thus affecting the battery cycle performance. Therefore, in order to effectively improve the wetting efficiency of the electrolyte to the battery without affecting the uniformity of the SEI film formation in the formation stage, so as to improve the battery production efficiency while ensuring the battery cycle performance, it is more preferred to control the ratio of m1 / m2 in the range of 0.5-1, so that the lithium-ion battery prepared by a short period of standing during the injection process has a capacity retention rate of more than 87.5% after 500 cycles at 25°C, and a capacity retention rate of more than 86.4% after 500 cycles at 45°C.
[0097] In addition, it can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 3 that adding electrolyte salt to the first electrolyte will deteriorate the wettability of the first electrolyte to the battery within a predetermined time, thereby affecting the cycle performance of the battery. It can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 that the addition of fluorobenzene to the second electrolyte can effectively improve the cycle stability of the lithium-ion battery at room temperature and high temperature, because fluorobenzene can effectively improve the electrolyte infiltration rate, especially the infiltration efficiency of the battery with a relatively high concentration of lithium salt electrolyte.
[0098] The above-described embodiments are only preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.
