Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of batteries, in particular to a battery monomer, a battery device and a power consumption device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of new energy technology, batteries are increasingly widely used, such as in mobile phones, notebook computers, electric cars, electric vehicles, energy storage devices, electric aircraft, electric ships, electric toy cars, electric toy ships, electric toy aircraft and electric tools. The requirements for battery performance are also increasing. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a battery monomer, a battery device and a power consumption device, which improve the conductivity of the electrode sheet to reduce the direct current resistance of the battery.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a battery monomer, which comprises a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet stacked together.
[0005] The positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer located on at least one side surface of the positive electrode current collector.
[0006] The positive electrode film layer has a first surface away from the positive electrode current collector and a second surface disposed opposite to the first surface.
[0007] The distance between the first surface and the second surface is H.
[0008] In the stacking direction of the electrode sheet, the region formed from the second surface of the positive electrode film layer to the position of 0.1xH is referred to as the first region of the positive electrode film layer.
[0009] In the stacking direction of the electrode sheet, the region formed from the first surface of the positive electrode film layer to the position of 0.1xH is referred to as the second region of the positive electrode film layer.
[0010] The first region comprises a first positive electrode active material and a first carbon nanotube, and the second region comprises a second positive electrode active material and a second carbon nanotube.
[0011] The first positive electrode active material comprises any one or more of lithium iron manganese phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate.
[0012] The second positive electrode active material comprises any one or more of lithium iron manganese phosphate and lithium iron phosphate.
[0013] The battery monomer provided by the present application is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the entire positive electrode sheet to reduce the direct current resistance of the battery, while also reducing the manganese leaching in the positive electrode film layer to improve the cycle or storage stability of the battery.
[0014] In some embodiments, the mass percentage content of the first carbon nanotubes in the first region is W1; the mass percentage content of the second carbon nanotubes in the second region is W2; W1≥W2.
[0015] In the present application, the mass percentage content of the first carbon nanotubes in the first region is W1; the mass percentage content of the second carbon nanotubes in the second region is W2; W1≥W2. Here, the mass percentage content is calculated by the amount of carbon nanotubes added during the preparation of the positive electrode film layer. Since the properties of carbon nanotubes in the positive electrode film layer are relatively stable, the loss is negligible. In fact, when taking high-magnification scanning electron microscope images of the positive electrode film layer, the content relationship between the two can be estimated according to the dispersion amount of the carbon nanotubes.
[0016] In some embodiments, the mass percentage content of the first carbon nanotubes in the first region is W1, which satisfies: 0
[0017] The mass percentage content of the second carbon nanotubes in the second region is W2, which satisfies: 0
[0018] The content of carbon nanotubes in the positive electrode film layer in the present application affects its conductivity. Generally speaking, the more the content, the stronger the conductivity. However, carbon nanotubes with high content are difficult to disperse during preparation, which may affect the conductivity. In the present application, W1 or W2 is independently selected from any value below 1% except zero, so as to further enhance the conductivity of the positive electrode active material under the premise of as much dispersion as possible.
[0019] In some embodiments, the first carbon nanotubes or the second carbon nanotubes each independently comprise any one or more of single-walled carbon nanotubes or multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
[0020] The single-walled carbon nanotubes in the present application refer to a single cylindrical layer of carbon atoms. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the present application refer to two or more layers of carbon atoms connected by intermolecular forces, or a single layer of carbon atoms wound around a cylindrical hollow core several times. The type of carbon nanotubes in the electrode plate is determined by high-power electron microscopy, and the average tube diameter of the carbon nanotubes is calculated by high-power electron microscopy to distinguish single-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
[0021] In the present application, whether it is single-walled carbon nanotubes or multi-walled carbon nanotubes, since they all contain one-dimensional tubular structures, they can all exhibit good conductivity after being well dispersed in the positive electrode film layer.
[0022] In some embodiments, the first carbon nanotubes comprise single-walled carbon nanotubes; the single-walled carbon nanotubes satisfy any one or more of the following properties:
[0023] average tube length > 50 pm; aspect ratio 10-20; specific surface area 800 m 2 / g ~ 1600 m 2 / g.
[0024] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned second carbon nanotube includes a multi-walled carbon nanotube; the multi-walled carbon nanotube satisfies any one or more of the following properties:
[0025] average tube length 5 pm-50 pm; aspect ratio 1.2-2.0; specific surface area 170 m 2 / g ~ 220 m 2 / g.
[0026] The carbon nanotube of the present application has a one-dimensional tubular structure, and the tube diameter of the carbon nanotube refers to the outer diameter of the carbon nanotube. Generally speaking, the tube diameter of a single-walled carbon nanotube is smaller than that of a multi-walled carbon nanotube.
[0027] The tube length of the carbon nanotube of the present application refers to the value measured along the two ends of the one-dimensional tubular structure.
[0028] The aspect ratio of the carbon nanotube of the present application refers to the ratio between the tube length and the tube diameter of the carbon nanotube.
[0029] The specific surface area of the carbon nanotube in the present application is measured by a method known in the art, such as using a test instrument ASAP2460-physical adsorption analyzer, according to GB / T19587-2017: placing the carbon nanotube sample after drying and degassing treatment in liquid nitrogen, adjusting different test pressures, respectively measuring the adsorption amount of nitrogen, and drawing the adsorption and desorption isotherms, and calculating the specific surface area BET of the carbon nanotube according to the adsorption and desorption isotherms.
[0030] The present application can determine the type of carbon nanotubes in the positive plate by means of high-power electron microscope, and calculate the average tube length and aspect ratio of the carbon nanotube slurry by means of high-power electron microscope. In fact, when the carbon nanotubes of the present application are well dispersed in the positive film layer, the values of the tube length, aspect ratio and specific surface area BET of the carbon nanotubes change little and can be ignored.
[0031] The present application selects single-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes with the above-mentioned numerical ranges, which is beneficial for use with positive active materials to further improve the conductivity of the positive plate.
[0032] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned first positive active material includes any one or more of lithium iron manganese phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate;
[0033] The above-mentioned second positive active material includes lithium iron phosphate.
[0034] As described above, the conductivity of lithium iron phosphate is better than that of lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate, and the lithium iron phosphate does not contain manganese elements, so there is basically no phenomenon of manganese dissolution. The second positive electrode active material in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector has the conductivity equal to or stronger than that of the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector, which is beneficial to improve the phenomenon of poor conductivity in the positive electrode film layer area away from the positive electrode current collector. At the same time, compared with the second positive electrode active material in the second area, the first positive electrode active material in the first area is used with equal or more amount of carbon nanotubes, which further improves the uniformity of the conductivity of the entire positive electrode sheet.
[0035] At the same time, due to the existence of the Jahn-Teller effect of manganese atoms in lithium manganese iron phosphate, the material structure is unstable, which leads to manganese dissolution and affects the cycle stability of the battery. To solve this problem, the design provided by the application is that the second positive electrode active material in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector includes lithium iron phosphate, and the lithium iron phosphate does not contain manganese elements, so there is basically no phenomenon of manganese dissolution, and the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector includes any one or more of lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate. Since the first area close to the positive electrode current collector is more difficult to be fully soaked with electrolyte than the second area away from the positive electrode current collector, it is beneficial to reduce the probability of manganese dissolution of the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector.

[0060] According to the above description, the second positive active material in the second area away from the positive current collector has stronger conductivity than the first positive active material in the first area close to the positive current collector, which is conducive to improving the poor conductivity in the area of the positive film layer away from the positive current collector. On this basis, the first positive active material in the first area is matched with a larger amount of carbon nanotubes than the second positive active material in the second area, which is conducive to further improving the uniform distribution of the electrical conductivity of the entire positive film layer to improve the conductivity of the pole piece and reduce the direct current resistance of the battery.

[0131] Batteries have been widely used in various products due to their high energy density, long cycle life, safety and reliability, etc. In recent years, as the demand for batteries as energy sources has significantly increased, higher requirements have been placed on the performance of batteries such as conductivity.
[0132] Owing to their high safety, lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate positive electrode materials have gradually become the main positive electrode materials for electric vehicles or energy storage batteries. In particular, the charging voltage of lithium manganese iron phosphate can be increased from 3.4 V of lithium iron phosphate to 4.1 V. However, the electronic transmission capacity of lithium manganese iron phosphate is several orders of magnitude lower than that of lithium iron phosphate, resulting in relatively poor conductivity of lithium manganese iron phosphate materials.
[0133] To improve the conductivity of lithium manganese iron phosphate materials, the present application provides a battery monomer, a battery device and a power utilization device.
[0134] Firstly, the present application discloses a battery monomer, which comprises a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet arranged in a stack; the positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer located on at least one side surface of the positive electrode current collector; the positive electrode film layer has a first surface away from the positive electrode current collector and a second surface arranged opposite to the first surface; the distance between the first surface and the second surface is H; along the stacking direction of the electrode sheet, the region formed from the second surface of the positive electrode film layer to the position of 0.1xH is referred to as the first region of the positive electrode film layer; along the stacking direction of the electrode sheet, the region formed from the first surface of the positive electrode film layer to the position of 0.1xH is referred to as the second region of the positive electrode film layer; the first region comprises a first positive electrode active material and a first carbon nanotube, and the second region comprises a second positive electrode active material and a second carbon nanotube; the first positive electrode active material comprises any one or more of lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate; and the second positive electrode active material comprises any one or more of lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium iron phosphate.
[0135] The carbon nanotube in the present application has a one-dimensional tubular structure, which can well play the conductivity when used with the positive electrode active material, thereby improving the conductivity of the positive electrode sheet. At the same time, the design provided by the present application is beneficial to enhancing the conductivity of the second positive electrode active material in the second region away from the positive electrode current collector, reducing the difference in conductivity between the second region and the first region, and improving the phenomenon of poor conductivity in the region of the positive electrode film layer away from the positive electrode current collector, thereby making the electrical conductivity of the entire positive electrode film layer uniformly distributed in each region, so as to improve the conductivity of the electrode sheet and reduce the direct current resistance of the battery.
[0136] In addition, due to the Jahn-Teller effect of manganese atoms in the lithium manganese iron phosphate, the material structure is unstable, leading to manganese dissolution and affecting the cycle stability of the battery. To solve this problem, the design provided in the present application also makes the second positive electrode active material in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector include any one or more of lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium iron phosphate, and the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector includes any one or more of lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate, that is, the manganese content in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector is relatively lower. This design is conducive to reducing the manganese dissolution in the positive electrode film layer to improve the cycle or storage stability of the battery.
[0137] Therefore, the battery cell provided in the present application is conducive to improving the conductivity of the entire positive electrode sheet to reduce the direct current resistance of the battery, while also reducing the manganese dissolution in the positive electrode film layer to improve the cycle stability of the battery. Therefore, the design provided in the present application is conducive to improving the user experience.
[0138] Electrode assembly
[0139] The battery cell generally includes an electrode assembly. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator disposed between the negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet. During the charging and discharging process of the battery cell, active ions (such as lithium ions) are inserted and extracted between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet.

[0162] The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode of this application can be formed into a secondary battery using winding or stacking processes. Specifically, this application... Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a secondary battery 10 formed using a stacking method, combined with... Figure 5 It is known that a negative electrode 1 or a positive electrode 2 is placed between two adjacent separators 3, and the negative electrode 1 and the positive electrode 2 are alternately arranged along the stacking direction (coordinate axis x direction). The number and size of the negative electrode 1 and / or the positive electrode 2 can be selected according to the actual situation, and will not be elaborated in this application. Furthermore, this application... Figure 5 The image only illustrates one type of lamination method; other lamination or winding methods are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0163] like Figure 6 The diagram illustrates that the positive electrode 2 includes a positive current collector 21 and a positive electrode film 22 located on at least one side surface of the positive current collector 21. Figure 6 The diagram illustrates a positive electrode film 22 disposed on either side of the surface of the positive electrode current collector 21. The positive electrode film 22 may also be located on both sides of the positive electrode current collector 21. The formation of the positive electrode film 22 on the surface of the positive electrode current collector 21 can be any method conventional in the art, such as coating, deposition, etc.
[0164] This application is in Figure 6 The diagram also illustrates the first surface 22a and the second surface 22b of the positive electrode film layer 22. The distance between the first surface 22a and the second surface 22b is H, which is the thickness of the positive electrode film layer 22 on one side of the positive electrode current collector. The measurement of this value H can be done in any way that is conventional in the art. In this application, it is measured using a micrometer.
[0165] For the convenience of describing the features of different regions in the positive electrode film layer, the region formed from the second surface 22b of the positive electrode film layer 22 to the 0.1xH position in the stacking direction of the tab is referred to as the first region 22A of the positive electrode film layer 22, and the region formed from the first surface 22a of the positive electrode film layer 22 to the 0.1xH position in the stacking direction of the tab is referred to as the second region 22B of the positive electrode film layer 22. The stacking direction of the tab also refers to the thickness direction of the tab, and in the following description, the stacking direction of the tab is also referred to as the thickness direction of the tab. Figure 6 In the above description, the x-axis direction is also referred to as the first region of the positive electrode film layer close to the positive electrode current collector, and the second region of the positive electrode film layer away from the positive electrode current collector. The 0.1xH position is only used to indicate the region, and the actual numerical range has no specific meaning.
[0166] The first region of the application includes the first positive electrode active material and the first carbon nanotube, and the second region includes the second positive electrode active material and the second carbon nanotube. The first positive electrode active material includes any one or more of lithium iron manganese phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate; and the second positive electrode active material includes any one or more of lithium iron manganese phosphate and lithium iron phosphate.
[0167] According to the above design idea and description, the positive electrode active material includes the following design methods:
[0168] (1) The first positive electrode active material includes lithium iron manganese phosphate, and the second positive electrode active material includes lithium iron manganese phosphate.
[0169] (2) The first positive electrode active material includes lithium iron manganese phosphate, and the second positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate.
[0170] (3) The first positive electrode active material includes lithium manganese phosphate, and the second positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate.
[0171] The above only lists some design methods, and in fact, the design method of containing two active materials in the first region and / or the second region is also within the protection scope of the application, which is not listed one by one here.
[0172] The carbon nanotube of the application is a one-dimensional tubular material mainly composed of sp 2 Hybrid carbon atoms, which has good electron mobility.
[0173] As described above, the conductivity of lithium manganese iron phosphate is lower than that of lithium iron phosphate by several orders of magnitude, resulting in relatively poor conductivity of lithium manganese iron phosphate material, and the conductivity of lithium manganese iron phosphate materials with different manganese contents is also different. Generally speaking, the conductivity of lithium manganese iron phosphate material with higher manganese content is weaker than that of lithium manganese iron phosphate material with lower manganese content. Therefore, the above-mentioned manner is adopted to reduce the difference between the conductivity of the second positive electrode active material in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector and the conductivity of the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector, which is beneficial to improve the phenomenon of poor conductivity in the area of the positive electrode film layer away from the positive electrode current collector, and further makes the conductivity of the entire positive electrode film layer uniformly distributed in each area.
[0174] In addition, due to the existence of the Jahn-Teller effect of manganese atoms in lithium manganese iron phosphate, the material structure is unstable, which leads to manganese dissolution and further affects the cycle or storage stability of the battery. To solve this problem, the design method provided by the present application is adopted, that is, the second positive electrode active material in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector includes any one or more of lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium iron phosphate, and the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector includes any one or more of lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate. This design method is beneficial to reduce the manganese dissolution in the positive electrode film layer, so as to improve the cycle or storage stability of the battery.
[0175] Therefore, the battery cell provided by the present application is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the entire positive electrode sheet to reduce the direct current resistance of the battery, and at the same time, the manganese dissolution in the positive electrode film layer is also reduced to improve the cycle or storage stability of the battery.
[0176] In some embodiments, the mass percentage content of the first carbon nanotube in the first area is W1; the mass percentage content of the second carbon nanotube in the second area is W2; W1≥W2.
[0177] The mass percentage content of the first carbon nanotube in the first area in the present application is W1; the mass percentage content of the second carbon nanotube in the second area is W2; W1≥W2. Here, the mass percentage content is calculated by the amount of carbon nanotubes added during the preparation of the positive electrode film layer. Since the properties of carbon nanotubes in the positive electrode film layer are relatively stable, the loss is ignored. In fact, when taking a high-magnification scanning electron microscope image of the positive electrode film layer, the content relationship between the two can be estimated according to the dispersion amount of carbon nanotubes.
[0178] The present application selects the first positive electrode active material in the first area to use equal or more amount of carbon nanotubes with one-dimensional tubular structure compared with the second positive electrode active material in the second area, which is beneficial to further improve the uniform distribution of the conductivity of the entire positive electrode film layer in each area, so as to improve the conductivity of the electrode sheet to reduce the direct current resistance of the battery.
[0179] In some embodiments, the first carbon nanotube or the second carbon nanotube each independently comprises any one or more of single-walled carbon nanotubes or multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
[0180] The single-walled carbon nanotube of the present application refers to a single cylindrical layer of carbon atoms, and the multi-walled carbon nanotube of the present application refers to two or more layers of carbon atoms connected by intermolecular forces, or a single layer of carbon atoms wound several times around a cylindrical hollow core. The type of carbon nanotube in the electrode sheet is determined by means of a high-power electron microscope, and the average tube diameter of the carbon nanotube is calculated by means of a high-power electron microscope to further distinguish the single-walled carbon nanotube and the multi-walled carbon nanotube.
[0181] In the present application, whether it is a single-walled carbon nanotube or a multi-walled carbon nanotube, since it all contains a one-dimensional tubular structure, it can all play a good conductivity after being well dispersed in the positive electrode film layer.
[0182] In some embodiments, the mass percentage content of the first carbon nanotube in the first region is W1, which satisfies: 0 < W1≤ 1%;
[0183] The mass percentage content of the second carbon nanotube in the second region is W2, which satisfies: 0 < W2≤ 1%. In the present application, the content of carbon nanotubes in the positive electrode film layer affects its conductivity. Generally speaking, under the same type, the more the content, the stronger the conductivity, but the carbon nanotubes with high content are not easy to disperse during preparation, which will affect the conductivity. In the present application, W1 or W2 is each independently selected from any numerical value below 1% except for zero, so as to further enhance the conductivity of the positive electrode active material under the premise of as much dispersion as possible.
[0184] In these embodiments, the present application discloses that W1 or W2 each independently comprises any one of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1% or satisfies any one of the numerical range between any two of the above.
[0185] In some embodiments, the first carbon nanotube comprises single-walled carbon nanotubes; the single-walled carbon nanotubes satisfy any one or more of the following properties:
[0186] The average tube length is > 50 μm; the aspect ratio is 10-20; the specific surface area is 800 m 2 / g-1600 m 2 / g.
[0187] In some embodiments, the second carbon nanotube comprises multi-walled carbon nanotubes; the multi-walled carbon nanotubes satisfy any one or more of the following properties:
[0188] The average tube length is 5-50 μm; the aspect ratio is 1.2-2.0; the specific surface area is 170-220 m 2 / g-220 m 2 / g.
[0189] The carbon nanotubes of the present application have a one-dimensional tubular structure, and the tube diameter of the carbon nanotubes refers to the outer diameter of the carbon nanotubes. Generally, the tube diameter of single-walled carbon nanotubes is smaller than that of multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
[0190] The tube length of the carbon nanotubes of the present application refers to the value measured along the two ends of the one-dimensional tubular structure.
[0191] The aspect ratio of the carbon nanotubes of the present application refers to the ratio between the tube length and the tube diameter of the carbon nanotubes.
[0192] The specific surface area BET of the carbon nanotubes in the present application refers to the specific surface area determined by nitrogen adsorption according to the ASTM D 3663-78 standard based on the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method described in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, 60, 309 (1938). The determination method of the specific surface area BET of the present application includes the known methods in the art, such as using the test instrument ASAP 2460-physical adsorption analyzer, and according to GB / T 19587-2017: placing the carbon nanotube sample after drying and degassing treatment in liquid nitrogen, adjusting different test pressures, respectively measuring the adsorption amount of nitrogen, and drawing the adsorption and desorption isotherms, and calculating the specific surface area BET of the carbon nanotubes according to the adsorption and desorption isotherms.
[0193] The present application can determine the carbon nanotubes in the positive plate by means of high-power electron microscopy, and calculate the average tube length and aspect ratio of the carbon nanotube slurry by means of high-power electron microscopy. In fact, when the carbon nanotubes of the present application are well dispersed in the positive film layer, the values of the tube length, aspect ratio and specific surface area BET of the carbon nanotubes change little and can be ignored.
[0194] The present application selects single-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes with the above numerical ranges, which is beneficial to be used with the positive active material to further improve the conductivity of the positive plate.
[0195] The present application discloses in these embodiments that the average tube length of the single-walled carbon nanotubes is greater than 50 μm and less than or equal to 100 μm. The present application specifically discloses that the average tube length of the single-walled carbon nanotubes is any one of 51 μm, 52 μm, 53 μm, 54 μm, 55 μm, 56 μm, 57 μm, 58 μm, 59 μm, 60 μm, 61 μm, 62 μm, 63 μm, 64 μm, 65 μm, 66 μm, 67 μm, 68 μm, 69 μm, 70 μm, 71 μm, 72 μm, 73 μm, 74 μm, 75 μm, 76 μm, 77 μm, 78 μm, 79 μm, 80 μm, 81 μm, 82 μm, 83 μm, 84 μm, 85 μm, 86 μm, 87 μm, 88 μm, 89 μm, 90 μm, 91 μm, 92 μm, 93 μm, 94 μm, 95 μm, 96 μm, 97 μm, 98 μm, 99 μm, 100 μm or any one in a numerical range between any two of the above.
[0196] The present application discloses in these embodiments that the aspect ratio of the single-walled carbon nanotubes is any one of 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or any one in a numerical range between any two of the above.
[0197] The present application discloses in these embodiments that the specific surface area of the single-walled carbon nanotubes is any one of 800 m 2 / g, 850 m 2 / g, 900 m 2 / g, 950 m 2 / g, 1000 m 2 / g, 1050 m 2 / g, 1100 m 2 / g, 1150 m 2 / g, 1200 m 2 / g, 1250 m 2 / g, 1300 m 2 / g, 1350 m 2 / g, 1400 m 2 / g, 1450 m 2 / g, 1500 m 2 / g, 1550 m 2 / g, 1600 m 2 / g or any one in a numerical range between any two of the above.
[0198] The present application discloses in these embodiments that the average tube length of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes is any one of 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm or any one in the numerical range between any two of the above.
[0199] The present application discloses in these embodiments that the aspect ratio of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes is any one of 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 or any one in the numerical range between any two of the above.
[0200] The present application discloses in these embodiments that the specific surface area of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes is any one of 170 m 2 / g, 180 m 2 / g, 190 m 2 / g, 200 m 2 / g, 210 m 2 / g, 220 m 2 / g or any one in the numerical range between any two of the above.
[0201] In some embodiments, the first positive electrode active material described above includes any one or more of lithium iron manganese phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate; and the second positive electrode active material described above includes lithium iron phosphate.
[0202] As described above, the conductivity of lithium iron phosphate is better than that of lithium iron manganese phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate, and since the lithium iron phosphate does not contain manganese element, there is basically no phenomenon of manganese dissolution. The present application selects the second positive electrode active material in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector to have a conductivity equal to or stronger than that of the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector, which is conducive to improving the phenomenon of poor conductivity in the positive electrode film layer area away from the positive electrode current collector. At the same time, the first positive electrode active material in the first area uses equal or more amount of carbon nanotubes than the second positive electrode active material in the second area, which further improves the uniformity of the conductivity of the entire positive electrode sheet.
[0203] Meanwhile, due to the Jahn-Teller effect of manganese atoms in the lithium manganese iron phosphate, the material structure is unstable, leading to manganese dissolution and affecting the cycle stability of the battery. To solve this problem, the design provided by the application is that the second positive electrode active material in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector includes lithium iron phosphate, and the lithium iron phosphate does not contain manganese elements, so there is basically no phenomenon of manganese dissolution, and the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector includes any one or more of lithium manganese iron phosphate and lithium manganese phosphate; since the first area close to the positive electrode current collector is less likely to be fully soaked with electrolyte than the second area away from the positive electrode current collector, it is beneficial to reduce the probability of manganese dissolution of the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector.

[0228] In some embodiments, the doping elements of the manganese sites and the iron sites include any one or more of Al, Mg, and Ni.
[0229] 1-x-y is 0.01 to 0.1.
[0230] The selected lithium manganese iron phosphate in the present application further includes any one or more of Al, Mg, and Ni as doping elements, and the doping amount of the doping elements is controlled, which is beneficial to improve the electronic conductivity of the lithium manganese iron phosphate material, and further improve the conductivity of the positive electrode sheet.
[0231] In some embodiments, the first positive electrode active material comprises a first lithium iron manganese phosphate, and the molar percentage content of manganese in the first lithium iron manganese phosphate is Y1;
[0232] The second positive electrode active material comprises a second lithium iron manganese phosphate, and the molar percentage content of manganese in the second lithium iron manganese phosphate is Y2;
[0233] Y1≥Y2;
[0234] Y1 or Y2 is independently selected from y x 100%.
[0235] In the present application, the molar percentage content of manganese in lithium iron manganese phosphate refers to the molar percentage content of manganese in transition metal elements, and the calculation method of the numerical range corresponding to the definition given in the present application is that Y1 or Y2 is independently selected from y x 100%.
[0236] As mentioned above, due to the existence of the Jahn-Teller effect of manganese atoms in lithium iron manganese phosphate, the material structure is unstable, which leads to manganese dissolution and further affects the cycle stability of the battery, and the problem is more serious as the molar percentage content of manganese in lithium iron manganese phosphate is higher. The present application selects the molar percentage content of manganese in the first lithium iron manganese phosphate in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector to be greater than or equal to the molar percentage content of manganese in the second lithium iron manganese phosphate in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector. When the molar contents of the two are consistent, the use of carbon nanotubes with one-dimensional tubular structure is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the positive electrode plate. When the two have differences, it is obvious that the second positive electrode active material in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector has stronger conductivity than the first positive electrode active material in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector, which is beneficial to improve the phenomenon of poor conductivity in the positive electrode film area away from the positive electrode current collector. At the same time, compared with the second positive electrode active material in the second area, the first positive electrode active material in the first area uses equal or more amount of carbon nanotubes, which further improves the conductivity of the entire positive electrode plate. In addition, the second lithium iron manganese phosphate in the second area away from the positive electrode current collector is less likely to have manganese dissolution than the first lithium iron manganese phosphate in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector, and the first lithium iron manganese phosphate in the first area close to the positive electrode current collector is less likely to be fully infiltrated with electrolyte, so both are beneficial to reduce the probability of manganese dissolution.
[0237] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer comprises a first sub-positive electrode film layer and a second sub-positive electrode film layer stacked in sequence; the first sub-positive electrode film layer is located on at least one side surface of the positive electrode current collector; the second sub-positive electrode film layer is located on the side surface of the first sub-positive electrode film layer away from the positive electrode current collector; the first sub-positive electrode film layer comprises first lithium iron manganese phosphate and first carbon nanotubes, the molar percentage content of manganese in the first lithium iron manganese phosphate is Y1, 80% < Y1 < 100%; the mass percentage content of the first carbon nanotubes in the first sub-positive electrode film layer is W1, 0.5% < W1 ≤ 1%;
[0238] The second sub-positive electrode film layer comprises second lithium iron manganese phosphate and second carbon nanotubes, the molar percentage content of manganese in the second lithium iron manganese phosphate is Y2, 0 < Y2 ≤ 20%; the mass percentage content of the second carbon nanotubes in the second sub-positive electrode film layer is W2, 0 < W2 ≤ 0.5%.
[0239] As Figure 7 described above, the positive electrode film layer 22 of the present application comprises a first sub-positive electrode film layer 222 and a second sub-positive electrode film layer 221, the molar percentage content of manganese in the first lithium iron manganese phosphate of the first sub-positive electrode film layer 222 is greater than the molar percentage content of manganese in the second lithium iron manganese phosphate of the second sub-positive electrode film layer 221, specifically the molar percentage content of manganese in the first lithium iron manganese phosphate is Y1, which satisfies: 80% < Y1 < 100%, the molar percentage content of manganese in the second lithium iron manganese phosphate is Y2, 0 < Y2 ≤ 20%; according to the above description, the second positive electrode active material in the second region away from the positive electrode current collector has stronger conductivity than the first positive electrode active material in the first region close to the positive electrode current collector, which is beneficial to improve the phenomenon of poor conductivity in the region of the positive electrode film layer away from the positive electrode current collector. On this basis, the first positive electrode active material in the first region uses more amount of carbon nanotubes than the second positive electrode active material in the second region, which is beneficial to further improve the uniform distribution of the electrical conductivity of the entire positive electrode film layer, so as to improve the conductivity of the electrode sheet and reduce the direct current resistance of the battery.
[0240] The molar percentage content of manganese in the lithium iron manganese phosphate and the mass percentage content of carbon nanotubes in each sub-positive electrode film layer given herein are characteristics possessed by the raw materials used in the preparation of the positive electrode film layer or calculated or converted after reasonable control, and the loss or change is ignored.

This design is beneficial in improving the uniform distribution of the electrical conductivity of the entire cathode film layer in each region, improving the conductivity of the electrode sheet and reducing the direct current resistance of the battery, and on the other hand, the second region away from the cathode current collector is less likely to cause manganese leaching compared to the first region close to the cathode current collector, thereby improving the cycle or storage stability of the battery.

[0418] Table 2-1 Composition of positive electrode film layer
[0419]
[0420]
[0421] The content of each component in each sub positive electrode film layer in Table 2-1 of the present application is 100%, and the remainder includes a binder and essential components.
[0422] The composition and proportion of the positive electrode film layers in the above-mentioned Example 2-2 are shown in Table 2-2 below.
[0423] Table 2-2 Composition of positive electrode film layer
[0424]
[0425] The content of each component in each sub positive electrode film layer in Table 2-2 of the present application is 100%, and the remainder includes a binder and essential components.
[0426] The composition and proportion of the positive electrode film layers in the above-mentioned Example 5-1 are shown in Table 2-3 below.
[0427] Table 2-3 Composition of positive electrode film layer
[0428]
[0429] In the above tables, the total mass percentage of each component in each sub-positive electrode film layer is 100%, and other components are binders or essential components except for the types and contents listed in the tables.
[0430] In the above tables, the test methods of the relevant parameters of each positive electrode tab in Table 2 are as follows:
[0431] ① Test method of film resistance:
[0432] The positive electrode tabs prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were cut into small round pieces of 10 mm in diameter at the left, middle and right positions of the dried tabs within a certain range. The power of the electrode resistance meter was turned on, and the electrode resistance meter was placed in the appropriate position of the "probe". The "start" button was clicked, and the reading was taken when the reading was stable. Two positions of each small round piece were tested, and the average value of six measurements was calculated as the film resistance of the tab. Table 2-4 was obtained.
[0433] Table 2-4 Film resistance of positive electrode tab
[0434]
[0435]
[0436] From the above Table 2-4, it can be seen that the use of positive active material and carbon nanotubes can significantly reduce the resistance of the positive electrode tab. In combination with Example 1 and Example 1-1, it can be seen that the more the amount of carbon nanotubes within a certain range, the more conducive to the conductivity. In combination with Example 1 and Example 2-1, it can be seen that within a certain range, the higher the content of iron in the positive active material lithium manganese iron phosphate, the less the demand for carbon nanotubes, but after the use of carbon nanotubes, it still shows good conductivity. In combination with Example 3-1 and 4-1, it can be seen that after the element doping and carbon coating of the positive active material, and the use of carbon nanotubes, good conductivity can also be achieved. This may be related to the fact that carbon nanotubes can be attached to the surface of the positive active material, shortening the electron conduction distance.
[0437] [Battery performance test]
[0438] ② Capacity retention rate after 1000 cycles:
[0439] The battery was charged at 1C constant current to 3.75V at 25°C, then charged at constant voltage to 0.05C (corresponding to 100% SOC), and then discharged at 1C constant current to the lower limit of 2.5V (corresponding to 0% SOC) after 5 min of standing, and the discharge capacity at this time was recorded as the discharge capacity of the first cycle. The battery was subjected to cycle charging and discharging tests according to the above method, and the discharge capacity after each cycle was recorded. The capacity retention rate (%) of the battery at 25°C after 1000 cycles = the discharge capacity after 1000 cycles / the discharge capacity of the first cycle x 100%.
[0440] ③Capacity retention rate of the battery (60°C) after 300 days of storage:
[0441] The battery was charged at 0.5C constant current to 3.75V at 25°C, then charged at constant voltage to 0.05C, and then discharged at 0.5C constant current to 2.5V after 5 min of standing. The discharge capacity at this time was the discharge capacity before storage. Then the battery was fully charged at a charging current of 0.5C and stored at 60°C for 300 days. After that, it was taken out and placed at 25°C for 2 hours, and then discharged at 0.5C constant current to 2.5V. After 5 min of standing, the battery was charged at 0.5C constant current to 3.75V, then charged at constant voltage to 0.05C, and then discharged at 0.5C constant current to 2.5V. The discharge capacity at this time was the discharge capacity after 300 days of storage.
[0442] Capacity retention rate of the battery after 300 days of storage at 60°C = (discharge capacity after 300 days of storage / discharge capacity before storage) x 100%.
[0443] According to the above test method, the test results shown in Table 3 are obtained.

[0446]
[0447] From Tables 2-4 and Table 3, it can be seen that the design method of using different film layers in combination with different positive active materials and carbon nanotubes provided by the present application is beneficial to improving the conductivity of the electrode sheet to reduce the direct current resistance of the battery, and ultimately improving the performance of the battery.
