Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a lithium ion battery and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are very promising energy storage devices in power tools, electric vehicles and energy storage systems due to their high energy and power density, long cycle life, low self-discharge rate and high safety.

[0003] As the application of lithium-ion batteries becomes more and more extensive, people's requirements for lithium batteries are also getting higher and higher. However, the existing lithium-ion battery technology often cannot well take into account the low-temperature discharge performance while meeting the high-temperature cycle performance and safety performance, which limits the application space of lithium-ion batteries to a certain extent. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a lithium-ion battery that takes into account the high-temperature cycle performance, safety performance and low-temperature discharge performance at the same time. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a lithium ion battery and an electronic device.

[0005] In a first aspect of the present invention, a lithium-ion battery is provided, comprising a positive electrode sheet, a separator, a negative electrode sheet and an electrolyte; the separator is sandwiched between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet;

[0006] The positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode material layer disposed on at least one side surface of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode material layer comprises a positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active material comprises a cobalt element and a T element, the T element is selected from at least one element of a VB subgroup and a VIB subgroup of periods 4 to 6 of the periodic table; the mass percentage content of the T element in the positive electrode active material is A, the mass percentage content of the cobalt element in the positive electrode active material is B, and A and B satisfy: 0.002≤A / B≤0.01;

[0007] The electrolyte contains nitrile compounds; the mass percentage of the nitrile compounds in the electrolyte is C, the porosity of the positive electrode sheet is D, the resistance value of the positive electrode sheet at 50% SOC is R, and A, B, C, D, and R satisfy: 15≤R*D / A≤110, 30≤B*R / (A+C)≤100.

[0008] According to the lithium ion battery of the embodiment of the present invention, there are at least the following beneficial effects: the lithium ion battery uses a positive electrode active material containing cobalt and T element (i.e., at least one element in the VB subgroup and VIB subgroup of the 4th to 6th period of the periodic table) to construct a positive electrode sheet, and the contents A and B of the T element and the cobalt element in the positive electrode active material satisfy the condition of 0.002≤A / B≤0.01, and the T element can maximize the conductivity of the positive electrode material. At the same time, after the T element is doped into the cobalt position, it can serve as a supporting element to effectively reduce the lithium ion in the desorption process. The migration resistance during the insertion process is improved, and the migration rate of lithium ions is increased; in addition, by controlling the ratio of the T element content A in the positive electrode active material, the porosity D of the positive electrode sheet and the resistance R of the positive electrode sheet at 50% SOC to meet 15≤R*D / A≤110, the positive electrode sheet has an excellent electron transmission channel, and thanks to the T element doping, the electronic conductivity is improved; and the porosity control of the positive electrode sheet ensures the transmission rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte, while optimizing the electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity, effectively improving the discharge performance of the lithium-ion battery at low temperatures. Furthermore, by adding a nitrile compound with a mass content of C in the electrolyte and controlling 30≤B*R / (A+C)≤100, the T element in the positive electrode material can have a synergistic effect with the nitrile compound in the electrolyte, which can effectively improve the electrode electrolyte interface contact, thereby improving the low-temperature discharge performance while effectively improving the high-temperature cycle performance and safety performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0009] Among them, the resistance value of the positive electrode sheet at 50% SOC can be tested by the following method: charge the lithium-ion battery at a constant current of 0.5C to 50% SOC, and the cut-off current is 0.025C; then disassemble the positive electrode sheet in the lithium-ion battery, place it in an environment with a humidity of 5% to 15% for 30 minutes, and then test the resistance value of the positive electrode sheet, which is recorded as R. Among them, the positive electrode sheet can be sealed and transferred to the resistance test site to test the resistance value of the positive electrode sheet. Specifically, the BER1200 film resistance tester can be used to test the resistance of the positive electrode sheet. Furthermore, the above resistance test can require that the adjacent test points be spaced 2mm to 3mm apart, and at least 15 different points are tested, and the average resistance of all test points is recorded as the final resistance value.

[0091] As shown in Table 2 above, compared with each comparative example, the safety performance of the lithium ion battery of each embodiment is significantly improved, the high temperature cycle capacity retention rate is significantly improved, and the low temperature discharge capacity retention rate is significantly improved, indicating that the T element and the cobalt element in the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode sheet of the lithium ion battery of each embodiment, synergistically with the nitrile compound in the electrolyte, can effectively limit the side reaction of the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte two-phase interface, thereby improving the safety performance and high temperature cycle stability of the battery. At the same time, thanks to the addition of nitrile compounds in the electrolyte (especially the low content design of nitrile compounds) and the electronic conductivity improvement brought about by T element doping, as well as the limiting relationship between the resistance and porosity of the positive electrode sheet, the low temperature discharge performance of the battery has been significantly improved.

[0092] The above lithium-ion batteries can be applied to electronic devices, and the present invention further proposes an electronic device, which includes but is not limited to laptop computers, e-book players, portable phones, portable printers, clocks, game consoles, toys, lighting equipment, calculators, video recorders, radios, portable power supplies, cars, motorcycles, large household batteries, etc.

[0093] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
