Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion batteries, and particularly relates to a low-temperature charging lithium-ion battery and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] At low temperatures, the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte and the diffusion rate in the negative electrode decrease, resulting in an exacerbation of polarization during charging, and the actual amount of electricity charged is much lower than the rated capacity of the battery. In addition, lithium ions that fail to be embedded in the graphite layer of the negative electrode in time will accumulate on the surface of the negative electrode and be reduced to metallic lithium, forming lithium dendrites. These lithium dendrites may pierce the battery separator, causing a short circuit and posing a safety hazard. Therefore, in a low-temperature environment, traditional power batteries for electric vehicles are difficult to meet the usage requirements and cannot ensure the safety performance of electric vehicles.
[0003] Currently, there are two commonly used solutions: one is to install a heating device in the battery module. However, this heating system needs to rapidly and uniformly increase the temperature of the module within a short time so that the battery cells can work normally at a suitable temperature. It not only consumes part of the energy of the battery system, but also the space occupied by the heating device will reduce the energy density of the system, thus having an adverse impact on the driving range of new energy vehicles; the other is to optimize the low-temperature performance of individual battery cells, and the main approach is to select a suitable negative electrode material. However, there are currently few low-temperature-resistant batteries available, and there is an urgent need in this field for a low-temperature-resistant battery that can be normally charged and discharged without an external heating device under low-temperature conditions of -40°C to 0°C.
