[0002] The statements herein are provided only as background information in connection with this application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] With the technological advancements in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, they are increasingly being used in a wide range of fields, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, and aerospace. They are also widely used in energy storage systems for hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants. The storage and use of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries involves not only ambient temperatures but also unavoidable high-temperature environments. Non-limiting examples include high-temperature storage and / or use environments such as summer heat, direct sunlight, and locations near the equator. High-temperature additives, such as alkyne-based additives, can improve the battery's high-temperature performance by optimizing the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film at the negative electrode; however, this can increase the negative electrode interface impedance, affecting performance at room temperature.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve both the high-temperature performance and the room-temperature performance of lithium-ion secondary batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0005] According to various embodiments and examples of this application, this application provides a lithium-ion secondary battery cell, a method for preparing the same, a battery device, and an electrical device. This lithium-ion secondary battery exhibits good high-temperature performance while significantly improving room-temperature performance.

[0006] In some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, a lithium-ion secondary battery is provided, comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte, wherein a separator is disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; the negative electrode includes a negative current collector and a negative active layer located on at least one side of the negative current collector, the negative active layer comprising a negative active material; the negative active material comprises a graphite-based material, the graphite-based material comprising 60% to 100% by mass in the negative active material;

[0009] For lithium-ion secondary batteries where the negative electrode active material mainly includes graphite-based materials and the electrolyte contains specific alkyne additives (which can be referred to as "alkyne additive battery systems"), the electrolyte contains one or more of a first alkyne compound and a second alkyne compound with high interfacial impedance in negative electrode film formation. In this case, the negative electrode active layer of the negative electrode sheet is controlled to have a relatively thin thickness (e.g., ≤60μm) on one side of the negative electrode current collector through a thin coating process, and is combined with a suitable D... v The 50% negative electrode active material can balance the pressure resistance of the negative electrode active layer in the cold pressing process, the ion transport path within the overall particles of the negative electrode active material, and the appropriate specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material. It is more resistant to cold pressing than relatively small-diameter particles, and can also control the relatively short ion transport path. It can also better control the reaction area of ​​the negative electrode active material, thereby better controlling the consumption of acetylene additives in the negative electrode film formation, and better controlling the increase in negative electrode interface impedance caused by the introduction of acetylene additives. Based on the synergistic effect of the above, but not limited to the above theory, it can better synergistically control the structural stability of the negative electrode active layer, the battery internal resistance and the negative electrode interface reaction, and significantly improve the room temperature performance of the acetylene additive battery system.

[0010] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector is 40 μm to 55 μm.

[0011] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector is 45 μm to 55 μm.

[0012] By controlling the thickness of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector within the aforementioned range, the combined effects of the negative electrode liquid phase transport path and the negative electrode interface impedance on the battery internal resistance can be better balanced, and the room temperature performance of the acetylene additive battery system can be improved more significantly.

[0013] In some embodiments, the D of the negative electrode active material v 50 ranges from 3.5μm to 15μm.

[0014] By controlling the D of the negative electrode active material v 50 Within the aforementioned range, using a relatively small negative electrode active material is beneficial for the negative electrode sheet to have a lower tortuosity, which is beneficial for better balancing the pressure resistance of the negative electrode active layer in the cold pressing process, the ion transport path of the negative electrode active material and the reaction area, and is more beneficial for significantly improving the room temperature performance of the acetylene additive battery system.

[0015] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes a coated negative electrode material, which includes a negative electrode active body and a carbon coating layer located on the negative electrode active body, comprising at least a portion thereof.

[0016] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material D v 50 ranges from 5μm to 14μm.

[0017] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:

[0018] (a1) The mass percentage of the coated negative electrode material in the negative electrode active material is 80%~100%;

[0019] (a2) The coated negative electrode material includes coated graphite, and the negative electrode active body in the coated graphite includes a graphite body.

[0020] In some embodiments, the coated graphite accounts for 80% to 100% of the mass of the negative electrode active material.

[0021] By incorporating a coated anode material (such as coated graphite) with a carbon coating layer into the anode active material, the lithium-ion transport channels on the surface of the anode active material can be optimized, promoting lithium-ion transport and improving the kinetics of lithium-ion secondary batteries. At the same time, it is also beneficial to suppress side reactions at the anode interface and suppress the increase in anode interface impedance caused by the participation of acetylene additives in anode film formation, which is conducive to better improving the room temperature performance of acetylene additive battery systems.

[0022] By incorporating a coated anode material (such as coated graphite) with a carbon coating layer into the anode active material, relatively small-sized anode active materials (such as D) can be combined. v 50 (5μm~14μm) optimizes rate performance.

[0023] In some embodiments, the porosity of the negative electrode active layer is 14% to 26%.

[0024] In some embodiments, the porosity of the negative electrode active layer is 18% to 22%.

[0025] By controlling the porosity (ε) of the negative electrode active layer within the aforementioned range, the tortuosity of the negative electrode sheet can be adjusted, which is beneficial for providing a better lithium-ion liquid phase transport channel, achieving better electrolyte wetting, and also taking into account the electrical contact network between the negative electrode active materials, which is beneficial for comprehensively improving the negative electrode dynamics and cycle performance.

[0026] In some embodiments, the additive further includes additive B, which is one or more of lithium salt additives and phosphate ester additives, and the mass ratio of additive B to the acetylene additive is 0.1 to 100.

[0027] Lithium salt additives and phosphate ester additives have low negative electrode film resistance. By introducing one or more of lithium salt additives and phosphate ester additives into the electrolyte, it is beneficial to reduce the resistance of the negative electrode SEI film and reduce the internal resistance of the battery. Furthermore, by controlling the mass ratio of additive B to alkyne additive within the aforementioned range, the room temperature performance of the alkyne additive battery system can be better improved.

[0028] In some embodiments, the electrolyte satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:

[0029] (b1) The mass ratio of additive B to the acetylene additive is 0.3 to 50;

[0036] (c2) The negative electrode active material includes a silicon-based material, which includes a silicon-carbon composite material. The silicon-carbon composite material includes a porous carbon matrix and elemental silicon located within the pores of the porous carbon matrix. The silicon-carbon composite material accounts for 80% to 100% of the mass of the silicon-based material.

[0037] (c3) The graphite-based material accounts for 80% to 100% of the mass of the negative electrode active material.

[0038] By controlling the content and / or type of silicon-based materials in the negative electrode active material within the aforementioned range, the expansion and contraction changes of the negative electrode can be better controlled. This is beneficial for better matching the stability requirements of the negative electrode active layer in the thin coating process, reducing the generation of fresh interfaces, suppressing negative electrode interface side reactions, reducing the consumption rate of alkyne additives, and decreasing the rate of increase in battery internal resistance, thus improving battery cycle life. For example, in silicon-based materials, the volume expansion and contraction changes of silicon-carbon composite materials are relatively low.

[0039] In some embodiments, the positive electrode includes a positive current collector and a positive active layer located on at least one side of the positive current collector. The positive active layer includes a positive active material, such as a lithium transition metal oxide positive electrode material. The thickness of the positive active layer on one side of the positive current collector is less than or equal to 50 μm. In this case, the positive electrode can provide a higher energy density, which corresponds to a thinner positive active layer, resulting in better capacity matching with the negative active layer. This is beneficial for suppressing lithium plating on the negative electrode and extending battery cycle life, including extended cycle life at room temperature.

[0040] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material includes a lithium nickel-based oxide positive electrode material, which includes lithium, non-lithium metal elements, and oxygen; wherein the non-lithium metal elements include nickel; and in the lithium nickel-based oxide positive electrode material, the ratio of the atomic molar ratio of nickel to the sum of the atomic molar ratios of the non-lithium metal elements is denoted as R. Ni ;R Ni ≥0.8, the thickness of the positive electrode active layer on one side of the positive electrode current collector is 40μm~50μm. At this thickness, the capacity matching between the positive and negative electrode active layers is better, which is more conducive to extending the battery cycle life, including extending the cycle life at room temperature.

[0041] In some embodiments, the acetylene additive accounts for 0.001% to 3.2% of the mass of the electrolyte.

[0042] In some embodiments, the acetylene additive accounts for 0.01% to 1.8% of the mass of the electrolyte.

[0043] By controlling the mass ratio of acetylene additives in the electrolyte within the aforementioned range, the acetylene additives can continuously play a role in repairing the SEI film during cycling, which is more conducive to extending battery cycle life, including extending the cycle life at room temperature.

[0044] In some embodiments, the lithium-ion secondary battery cell satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:

[0045] (d1) The positive electrode sheet includes a positive active layer, the positive active layer includes a positive active material, and the positive active material includes a lithium transition metal oxide positive electrode material;

[0046] (d2) The negative electrode active material includes a silicon-based material, wherein the mass percentage of the silicon-based material in the negative electrode active material is less than or equal to 3%; the acetylene additive includes the first acetylene compound.

[0047] Alkyne additives can adsorb transition metal ions in electrolytes.

[0048] When the negative electrode active material includes the aforementioned amount of silicon-based material, a fresh interface is generated as the negative electrode volume expands and contracts, leading to interfacial side reactions and the production of acidic byproducts. The acidic byproducts can be adsorbed by a first alkynyl compound containing a Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle.

[0049] In some embodiments, the electrolyte satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:

[0057] (f3) The sum of the mass percentages of the first alkynyl compound and the second alkynyl compound in the alkynyl additive is 90% to 100%;

[0058] (f4) The first alkynyl compound accounts for 90% to 100% of the mass of the alkynyl additive.

[0059] In some embodiments, the acetylene additive includes one or more of compound II and compound III;

[0060] The structure of compound II is as follows: Among them, L 11 C 1-3 Alkylene, Q2 is independently C 1-3 Alkyl, cyano, or fluorine atom, p2 is 0, 1, 2, or 3;

[0061] The structure of compound III is as follows: Among them, L 21 C 1-3 Alkylene, R2 is C 1-3 alkyl.

[0062] By controlling the molecular weight of acetylene additives within the aforementioned lower range, acetylene additives can have smaller molecular sizes, which is beneficial for better control of the low viscosity characteristics of the electrolyte, resulting in higher conductivity of the electrolyte and better control of the battery's internal resistance.

[0063] By controlling the number of carbon-carbon triple bonds in acetylene additives within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to suppress the increase in interfacial impedance caused by acetylene additives participating in the formation and repair of the SEI film, and also to control the influence of acetylene additives on liquid phase impedance. Thus, it is possible to better suppress the increase in battery internal resistance and better improve the room temperature performance of acetylene additive battery systems.

[0064] The first alkynyl compound, which includes both a carbon-carbon triple bond and a Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle, can promote the formation of an interface film with dual organic / inorganic properties during the negative electrode interface reaction, thereby improving the stability of the negative electrode SEI film. The Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle can also absorb acid byproducts in the electrolyte, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the negative electrode interface and the negative electrode active material, reducing the consumption rate of alkynyl additives, and decreasing the rate of increase in battery internal resistance. Based on the aforementioned multiple effects, but not limited to the aforementioned mechanisms, it is beneficial to better improve the room temperature performance of alkynyl additive battery systems.

[0065] By controlling the number of Lewis base nitrogen heterocycles in the acetylene additives within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to better absorb acid byproducts in the electrolyte, and at the same time, it is also beneficial to control the steric hindrance effect of Lewis base nitrogen heterocycles on carbon-carbon triple bonds.

[0066] Examples of Lewis base nitrogen heterocycles include the imidazole ring in compound II.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the second aspect of this application, a method for preparing a lithium-ion secondary battery cell is provided, which includes the following steps:

[0069] An electrolyte is injected into the battery casing, and the mixture is allowed to stand to allow the electrolyte to wet the positive and negative electrode plates, thus forming the battery. The electrolyte comprises an electrolyte salt, a non-aqueous solvent, and additives. The additives include alkyne additives, which are compounds containing carbon-carbon triple bonds. The alkyne additives include one or more of a first alkyne compound and a second alkyne compound. The first alkyne compound consists of a carbon-carbon triple bond, a carbon-carbon triple bond, and a carbon-carbon triple bond connected sequentially. 1-3 The second alkynyl compound consists of an alkylene group and -OC(=O)-R1, where R1 is a Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle; the second alkynyl compound consists of a carbon-carbon triple bond, C, and C bonds connected sequentially. 1-3 The structure consists of an alkylene group and -OC(=O)-O-R2, where R2 is C. 1-3 Alkyl group; the sum of the mass percentages of the first alkynyl compound and the second alkynyl compound in the alkynyl additive is 75% to 100%.

[0086] The following describes in detail, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments and examples of the lithium-ion secondary battery cell, its preparation method, battery device, and power-consuming device of this application. However, some unnecessary detailed descriptions may be omitted.

This is to avoid unnecessarily lengthy descriptions and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand this application and are not intended to limit the subject matter of the claims.

[0087] The "range" disclosed in this application can be defined in the form of a lower limit and an upper limit. A given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, which define the boundaries of a particular range. Ranges defined in this way can include or exclude endpoints. Any endpoint can be included or excluded independently and can be combined arbitrarily; that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, if ranges of 60-120 and 80-110 are listed for a specific parameter, it is expected that ranges of 60-110 and 80-120 are also included. Furthermore, if minimum range values ​​1 and 2 are listed, and maximum range values ​​3, 4, and 5 are also listed, then the following ranges are all expected: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5.

Furthermore, when describing a parameter as an integer ≥ 2, it is equivalent to listing integers such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 for that parameter. For instance, when describing a parameter as an integer selected from "2-10", it is equivalent to listing the integers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

[0088] In this application, the term "numerical value" includes the number itself and its reasonable approximations. The definition of "numerical value" can apply to discrete numerical points or to the endpoints of a numerical range. Unless otherwise specified, the term "approximation" covers a numerical interval based on a reasonable range of fluctuations of the number itself. This reasonable range of fluctuations can vary depending on the type and magnitude of the number. This reasonable range of fluctuations can be reasonably determined based on the accuracy of the testing or measurement method. Therefore, when referring to a numerical value or a numerical range, unless otherwise specified, it should be understood that the numerical value includes its reasonable approximation, and the numerical range includes reasonable approximations at both endpoints. Those skilled in the art will understand that acceptable fluctuation ranges of the relevant approximations can be included within the definition of the numerical value or the numerical range. In this application, unless otherwise specified, "N1" can be reasonably understood as "about N1," and "N1~N2" can be reasonably understood as "about N1 to about N2," where N1 and N2 are two unequal numerical values.

[0089] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "about" means within a reasonable range above and below the stated number, and the range of fluctuation may vary depending on the type and value of the stated number. For example, a range of ±10%, ±5%, ±2%, ±1% is permissible. For instance, taking "about 20°C" as an example, where the approximation is ±1°C, approximate values ​​such as 19°C and 19.5°C within the approximation range indicated by "about 20°C" should also be included in the range indicated by "about 20°C".

[0090] In this application, the terms "multiple," "various," or "multiple items" are used unless otherwise specified, referring to a quantity greater than or equal to 2. For example, "one or more" means one item or two or more (greater than or equal to) items. It can be understood that when "any number of" items are involved, it refers to any suitable combination of multiple items, that is, a combination of "any number of" items in a manner that does not conflict and enables the implementation of this application.

[0091] Unless otherwise specified, all embodiments and optional embodiments of this application can be combined to form new technical solutions.

[0092] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment or implementation of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments. The term "implementation" as used herein has a similar understanding.

[0093] In this application, open-ended technical features or solutions described using terms such as "containing," "comprising," or "including" do not exclude additional members beyond those listed unless otherwise specified. They can be considered as providing both closed-ended features or solutions comprised of the listed members and open-ended features or solutions that include additional members beyond the listed members. For example, if 'a' includes a1, a2, and a3, it may also include other members or exclude additional members unless otherwise specified. This can be considered as providing both features or solutions where "a consists of a1, a2, and a3" or "a is selected from a1, a2, and a3," and features or solutions where "a includes not only a1, a2, and a3, but also other members."

[0094] In this application, unless otherwise specified, M (e.g., m1) means that m1 is a non-limiting example of M, and it is understood that M is not limited to m1.

[0095] In this application, "optionally," "optionally," and "optional" mean that something is optional, that is, it is selected from either "with" or "without." If multiple "options" appear in a technical solution, unless otherwise specified and there are no contradictions or mutual constraints, each "option" is independent. Unless otherwise specified, the descriptions such as "optionally include" and "optionally contain" in this application, taking "optionally include" as an example, mean "may include or not include."

[0138] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "acetylene additives" refers to additives containing carbon-carbon triple bonds. Acetylene additives can participate in the formation of the negative electrode solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film. Acetylene additives can significantly improve the high-temperature performance of batteries, including extending high-temperature cycling and storage life, and can be used as high-temperature additives. However, the introduction of one or more of some acetylene additives, such as first acetylene compounds and second acetylene compounds, can easily lead to high negative electrode interfacial impedance at room temperature, thus affecting the battery's room-temperature performance.

[0139] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "first ynyl compound" refers to an ynylene additive containing a carbon-carbon triple bond and a Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle. The carbon-carbon triple bond and Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle in the first ynyl compound are linked by a linker L1, which typically contains a C-type carbon bond covalently bonded to the carbon-carbon triple bond. 1-3 Alkylene. Exemplarily, the first alkynyl compound is composed of a carbon-carbon triple bond, C... 1-3 It consists of an alkylene group and -OC(=O)-R1, where R1 is a Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle.

[0140] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle" refers to a nitrogen heterocycle possessing Lewis base properties. This concept is based on the Lewis acid-base theory. Lewis base nitrogen heterocycles can donate electron pairs and are electron-rich. Therefore, Lewis base nitrogen heterocycles can attract and bind acidic substances. Non-limiting examples of Lewis base nitrogen heterocycles include imidazole rings, but are not limited to these.

[0141] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "nitrogen heterocyclic structure" refers to a ring structure in which the cyclic atoms include nitrogen atoms.

[0143] In the lithium-ion secondary battery provided in this application, it is understood that the positive electrode and the negative electrode are wetted by the electrolyte.

[0144] The negative electrode of this lithium-ion secondary battery adopts a thin coating process, and the thickness of the negative electrode active layer is relatively thin, such as less than or equal to 60μm. This can improve the diffusion distance of lithium ions on the negative electrode and, to some extent, help to compensate for the increase in interfacial impedance caused by the introduction of acetylene additives. However, the cold pressing process of the thin coating process may face problems such as coating cracking. The negative electrode needs to have a certain mechanical strength. Smaller particles have better pressure resistance, but the larger specific surface area of ​​small particles will aggravate the side reactions at the negative electrode interface and thus easily exacerbate the increase in negative electrode interfacial impedance caused by acetylene additives.

[0145] For lithium-ion secondary batteries where the negative electrode active material mainly includes graphite-based materials and the electrolyte contains specific alkyne additives (which can be referred to as "alkyne additive battery systems"), the electrolyte contains one or more of a first alkyne compound and a second alkyne compound with high interfacial impedance in negative electrode film formation. In this case, the negative electrode active layer of the negative electrode sheet is controlled to have a relatively thin thickness (e.g., ≤60μm) on one side of the negative electrode current collector through a thin coating process, and is combined with a suitable D... v The 50% negative electrode active material can balance the pressure resistance of the negative electrode active layer in the cold pressing process, the ion transport path within the overall particles of the negative electrode active material, and the appropriate specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material. It is more resistant to cold pressing than relatively small-diameter particles, and can also control the relatively short ion transport path. It can also better control the reaction area of ​​the negative electrode active material, thereby better controlling the consumption of acetylene additives in the negative electrode film formation, and better controlling the increase in negative electrode interface impedance caused by the introduction of acetylene additives. Based on the synergistic effect of the above, but not limited to the above theory, it can better synergistically control the structural stability of the negative electrode active layer, the battery internal resistance and the negative electrode interface reaction, and significantly improve the room temperature performance of the acetylene additive battery system.

[0146] The thickness of the negative electrode active layer on one side or the total thickness in a lithium-ion secondary battery can be obtained by methods known in the art. For example, the surfaces of substrates with and without the negative electrode active layer can be compared, such as by using a profilometer. In this method, the probe of the profilometer gently glides across the sample surface with a very small force. The micron- or even nanometer-level undulations on the sample surface are amplified millions of times by a sensor connected to the probe, then converted into electronic signals, input into software, and finally displayed in digital and graphical form.

[0147] The thickness of the active layer of the negative electrode under test can also be statistically determined from the results of multiple locations of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the cross-section in the thickness direction of the electrode.

[0148] Alternatively, a micrometer can be used for measurement. The thickness D can be obtained by disassembling the battery cell, removing the negative electrode, and measuring the electrode thickness D using a micrometer. ATake another negative electrode sheet, wipe away the negative electrode active layer on the side to be tested, leaving the remaining empty current collector foil, and measure the thickness D. 10 The thickness of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector is D. A -D 10 Take another negative electrode sheet, wipe away the negative electrode active layer on both sides of the remaining empty current collector foil, and measure the thickness D0. Then, the total thickness of the negative electrode active layer on both sides of the negative electrode current collector in the lithium-ion secondary battery is D. A -D0.

[0149] The types and concentrations of inorganic components in the electrolyte (including electrolyte salts and inorganic additives) can be tested with reference to relevant standards such as GB / T 34672-2017 General Rules for Determination of Chemical Reagents by Ion Chromatography, JY / T020-1996 General Rules for Ion Chromatographic Analysis, and GB / T 6040-2019 General Rules for Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis, and the latest version of the standard method can be preferred. The types and contents of organic components in the electrolyte (including non-aqueous solvents and organic additives) can be tested with reference to relevant standards such as GB / T 9722-2023 General Rules for Gas Chromatography of Chemical Reagents.

[0150] In addition, those skilled in the art can also identify the components of the electrolyte in a lithium-ion secondary battery using one or more of the following detection methods, including but not limited to: nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (NMR spectroscopy). 1 Methods such as 1H NMR, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry (MADI-TOF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet spectroscopy, and gas chromatography (GC) are available. The sample preparation and testing methods for these methods are known to those skilled in the art, and the test parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to the structure of the material or substance and the characteristics of the sample. As a non-limiting example, FT-IR, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and other methods can be used. 1 One or more of the following methods may be used to detect the types and contents of electrolyte components: ¹H NMR, mass spectrometry, MADI-TOF, GC, etc., but not limited to these.

[0155] Graphite-based materials are a type of carbon-based material. It is understood that negative electrode active materials include carbon-based materials. Carbon-based materials can include one or more of graphite, soft carbon, and hard carbon. Graphite can include one or more of artificial graphite and natural graphite. Non-limitingly, the mass percentage of graphite-based materials in the carbon-based materials can be 60% to 100%, optionally 80% to 100%, further preferably 90% to 100%, and even more preferably 97% to 100%, or any of the following percentages or a range selected from any two of the following percentages: 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%, etc. The areal density of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector can be further controlled to be (0.05~0.15) g / 1540.25 mm². 2 , or any suitable value or range within that range.

[0156] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material may include one or more of artificial graphite, natural graphite, soft carbon, and hard carbon.

[0157] In some implementations, the carbon-based material is a graphite-based material.

[0158] In some implementations, the negative electrode active material is a graphite-based material.

[0159] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "area density of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector" refers to the ratio of the mass of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector to the area of ​​the negative electrode active layer on that side, and the corresponding "area" is equal to the orthogonal projection area of ​​the negative electrode active layer along the thickness direction of the electrode sheet. "Area density of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector" can also be written as "one-sided density of the negative electrode active layer".

[0160] Non-limitingly, the areal density of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector can be tested using the following method: Disassemble the battery to obtain the negative electrode sheet, wipe off the negative electrode active layer on one side of the obtained negative electrode sheet, leaving only the negative electrode active layer on one side, and punch it into an area S0 (e.g., 1540.25 mm²). 2 The small circular disc is used to measure its mass M. B Take another negative electrode sheet from a different region, wipe off the negative active layer on the surface, and cut the remaining negative current collector foil (which can be denoted as empty negative current collector foil) into small circular pieces with an area of ​​S0. Weigh the empty negative current collector foil and record the mass as M0. Then, the areal density ρ of the negative active layer on one side of the negative current collector is... S =(M B -M0) / S0.

[0161] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector is less than or equal to 60 μm, and may also be less than or equal to any of the following thicknesses: 42 μm, 44 μm, 45 μm, 46 μm, 48 μm, 50 μm, 52 μm, 54 μm, 55 μm, 56 μm, 58 μm, etc.

[0162] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector is 40 μm to 60 μm, optionally 40 μm to 55 μm, further optionally 45 μm to 55 μm, and may also be any of the following thicknesses or a range selected from any two of the following thicknesses: 40 μm, 42 μm, 44 μm, 45 μm, 46 μm, 48 μm, 50 μm, 52 μm, 54 μm, 55 μm, 56 μm, 58 μm, 60 μm, etc.

[0163] By controlling the thickness of the negative electrode active layer on one side and / or the total thickness of the negative electrode current collector within the aforementioned range, the combined effects of the negative electrode liquid phase transport path and the negative electrode interface impedance on the battery internal resistance can be better balanced, and the room temperature performance of the acetylene additive battery system can be improved more significantly.

[0164] In some embodiments, the D of the negative electrode active material v50 is 3μm~15μm, can be selected from 3.5μm~15μm, further selectable from 3.8μm~10μm, and can also be any of the following values ​​or a range composed of any two of the following values: 3μm, 3.5μm, 3.8μm, 4μm, 4.5μm, 5μm, 5.5μm, 6μm, 7μm, 8μm, 9μm, 10μm, 11μm, 12μm, 13μm, 14μm, 15μm, etc.

[0165] In the context of this application, the volumetric cumulative distribution particle size D can be used. v N (where N represents any value selected from 0 to 100) is used to characterize the particle size of the material. It refers to the particle size corresponding to the cumulative volume distribution percentage of the material reaching N%, where the particle size is less than or equal to D. v N's volume percentage is N%. D v N can be obtained from the volumetric cumulative distribution curve of the material particles. Unless otherwise specified, the volumetric cumulative distribution curve is accumulated from zero on the smaller particle size side. Let D... v Taking 50 as an example for illustration. In this application, unless otherwise stated, D v 50 refers to the particle size corresponding to a cumulative volume distribution percentage of 50% in the material. This parameter indicates that the particle size of 50% of the material's volume is less than or equal to D. v 50, and particles accounting for 50% of the material volume have a particle size greater than D. v 50. Those skilled in the art will understand D v 50. D v 3. D v The meaning of Grade 1 is that it can be determined using instruments and methods known in the field. For example, it can be conveniently determined using a laser particle size analyzer, such as the Mastersizer 2000E laser particle size analyzer or the LS-909 laser particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments Ltd. (UK). Furthermore, for equipment models such as the Malvern 2000 laser particle size analyzer, the standard procedure GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009 can be referenced for testing.

[0166] By controlling the D of the negative electrode active material v 50 Within the aforementioned range, using a relatively small negative electrode active material is beneficial for the negative electrode sheet to have a lower tortuosity, which is beneficial for better balancing the pressure resistance of the negative electrode active layer in the cold pressing process, the ion transport path of the negative electrode active material and the reaction area, and is more beneficial for significantly improving the room temperature performance of the acetylene additive battery system.

[0167] In some embodiments, the D of the negative electrode active material or the positive electrode active material can be tested using the following methods. v 50. D v 3. D v Grade 1. A Malvern 2000 (MasterSizer 2000) laser particle size analyzer was used, following the standard procedure GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009. The detailed test procedure included: taking an appropriate amount of the sample to be tested, adding a solvent (the solvent can be deionized water, and the sample concentration can be controlled at 8%~12% opacity), sonicating for 5 min (53KHz / 120W) to fully disperse the sample, and then measuring the sample according to GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009. Non-limiting examples of solvents include deionized water and anhydrous ethanol. After the sample was poured into the injection tower, it circulated with the solution to the test optical path system. Under the irradiation of the laser beam, the particle size distribution characteristics of the particles could be obtained by receiving and measuring the energy distribution of the scattered light. Based on the test data, a particle size volume distribution map was plotted, and D was obtained from the distribution map. v Parameters such as 50 were used. To avoid agglomeration during the drying process affecting particle size testing, a dispersion test was performed on a washed and moistened sample.

[0168] Unless otherwise specified, the thickness of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector can be denoted as Ds, and the D of the negative electrode active material is... v 50 can be written as D v 50 N The thickness (Ds) of the negative electrode active layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector is compared with the D of the negative electrode active material. v The ratio of 50 is denoted as R. x R x =Ds / D v 50 N In some implementations, R x It can be less than 20, further selectable as 5~18, even further selectable as 6~18, even further selectable as 6.5~18, even further selectable as 8~18, even further selectable as 10~18, and can also be any of the following suitable values ​​or a suitable range selected from any two of the following values: 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, etc.; R x It can also be any of the following ranges: 5~16, 6~16, 6.5~16, 8~16, 10~16, 5~16, etc.

[0169] In some embodiments, the D of the negative electrode active material v 1 is greater than or equal to 1 μm.

[0170] In some embodiments, the D of the negative electrode active material v 1 is greater than or equal to 1.5 μm.

[0171] By controlling the D of the negative electrode active material v 1. Within the aforementioned range, side reactions at the negative electrode interface can be significantly suppressed, the consumption rate of acetylene additives can be reduced, and the growth rate of battery internal resistance can be decreased.

[0172] The tortuosity of the negative electrode active layer is denoted as τ.

[0173] In some embodiments, 4 ≤ τ ≤ 6, optionally, 4 ≤ τ ≤ 5.4, and further optionally, 4 ≤ τ ≤ 5.1. Non-limitingly, the tortuosity (τ) of the negative electrode active layer can also be any of the following values ​​or a range selected from any two of the following values: 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.8, 6, etc.

[0174] In this application, the "torsionalism" of the negative electrode active layer can also be described as the tortuosity or tortuosity of the negative electrode sheet. The tortuosity of the negative electrode active layer reflects the degree of tortuosity of the pore connectivity pathways traversed by active ions when passing through a negative electrode active layer of a certain thickness. Numerically, the tortuosity τ of the negative electrode active layer can be equal to the ratio of the actual path length of the pore connectivity pathway between the two surfaces of the negative electrode active material layer to the thickness of the negative electrode active material layer. The theoretical minimum value of the tortuosity is 1, at which point the pore connectivity pathway is a straight pore, and the corresponding actual path is the shortest, numerically consistent with the thickness of the negative electrode active layer. The larger the tortuosity, the higher the degree of tortuosity of the pore connectivity pathway; conversely, the smaller the tortuosity, the lower the degree of tortuosity of the pore connectivity pathway. The value of the tortuosity is related to factors such as the particle size and particle size distribution of the negative electrode active material, and porosity. "Torsionalism" is a dimensionless parameter.

[0175] In this application, the tortuosity of the negative electrode active layer can be calculated by the following test and analysis method: the ion diffusion resistance Rion inside the pores of the negative electrode sheet is tested by a symmetrical cell, and the tortuosity τ of the negative electrode active layer is calculated based on the porosity ε, the thickness d of the negative electrode active layer and the conductivity k of the electrolyte.

[0176] The negative electrode sheet to be tested can be obtained by disassembling the battery cell. The residual electrolyte needs to be removed beforehand. For example, the negative electrode sheet sample can be washed with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and then dried to remove the DMC.

[0177] In this application, porosity, ionic impedance Rion, ionic conductivity, effective electrode area, and negative electrode active layer thickness all have well-known meanings in the art. Those skilled in the art can use conventional methods in the art to test and obtain the relevant parameters ε, k, Rion, A, and d, and can preferentially use the methods described above.

[0178] For example, the ion impedance Rion of the negative electrode sheet can be tested by the following method: a negative electrode sheet sample with a certain area A is cut out (that is, the effective area of ​​the electrode is A), and the ion diffusion impedance Rion inside the pores of the electrode sheet is tested by means of a symmetrical cell. It can be obtained by testing the EIS impedance of the electrode sheet.

[0179] In this application, the test temperatures for ε, k, and Rion can be performed at room temperature, or, unless otherwise specified, at 20°C to 30°C (e.g., 25°C), and further, at 25°C.

[0180] In some embodiments of this application, the tortuosity τ of the negative electrode active layer is numerically equal to the value calculated according to the following formula: ε×k×Rion×A / d; where ε is the porosity of the negative electrode active layer at 25°C; k is the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at 25°C, in mS / cm; Rion is the ionic resistance of the negative electrode at 25°C, in Ω; and A is the effective area when Rion is tested, in cm². 2 d represents the total thickness of the negative electrode active layer, in μm.

[0181] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the primary particles in the negative electrode active material is 0.1 μm to 2 μm, optionally 0.2 μm to 1.5 μm, and may also be 0.1 μm to 1 μm, further optionally 0.2 μm to 1 μm, or any of the following values ​​or a range selected from any two of the following values: 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.3 μm, 0.4 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.7 μm, 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, 1.0 μm, 1.1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, 2 μm, etc.

[0182] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "average particle size of primary particles" in the negative electrode active material refers to the average particle size of all primary particles in the negative electrode active material. The "particle size of primary particles" refers to the maximum diameter of the primary particles in each direction.

[0183] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "primary particles" in the negative electrode active material refer to the basic particle unit in the negative electrode active material. It is understood that primary particles exist in the negative electrode active material. In the negative electrode active material, primary particles can exist in a non-agglomerated state, or multiple primary particles can form aggregates. Non-agglomerated primary particles can be called "non-agglomerated primary particles," and aggregates formed by multiple primary particles can be called "secondary particles."

[0184] By controlling the average particle size (denoted as D1) of the primary particles in the negative electrode active material within the aforementioned range, it is possible to control the negative electrode active material to have a more suitable ion transport path and achieve a better rate capability. At the same time, it is also possible to better control the negative electrode interface reaction and control the consumption of alkyne additives in negative electrode film formation. Based on the synergy of the aforementioned effects, but not limited to the aforementioned theory, it is beneficial to better synergistically control the structural stability of the negative electrode active layer, the battery internal resistance, and the consumption of alkyne additives in negative electrode film formation. It is also more beneficial to significantly improve the room temperature performance of the alkyne additive battery system.

[0185] The particle morphology of the negative electrode active material can be used to statistically analyze the particle size and average value of the primary particles in the negative electrode active material. The particle morphology of the negative electrode active material can be obtained using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results (e.g., ZEISS Sigma 300, JEOL SEM, Axia Chemi SEM, etc.). The sample to be tested can be obtained by laying a powder sample of the negative electrode active material on conductive adhesive. Non-limitingly, SEM testing can refer to JY / T(001)-1996. One or more regions are randomly selected from the sample to be tested for scanning. Based on the SEM image at a certain magnification, the particle size of each primary particle in the scanned region and the frequency of occurrence of different particle sizes are statistically analyzed, and the average particle size of the statistically analyzed primary particles can then be calculated. Non-limitingly, the magnification of a single scanned region can be, for example, 1000X, but is not limited to this. To improve the accuracy of the statistical results, multiple regions can be randomly selected for scanning.

[0186] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the maximum diameter of the primary particles in each direction in the SEM morphology image of the negative electrode active material is denoted as "the particle size of the primary particles in the negative electrode active material".

[0187] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes a coated negative electrode material, which includes a negative electrode active body and a carbon coating layer located on at least a portion of the negative electrode active body. It is understood that the carbon coating layer in the coated negative electrode material has a different chemical composition from the negative electrode active body. The negative electrode active body can be selected from at least one material known in the art suitable for negative electrode active materials. Non-limitingly, the negative electrode active body can include one or more of graphite and silicon-based materials. Non-limitingly, graphite can include one or more of natural graphite and artificial graphite. Non-limitingly, silicon-based materials can include one or more of elemental silicon, silicon oxide compounds, silicon-carbon composites, silicon-nitrogen composites, and silicon alloys. Non-limitingly, the carbon coating layer in the coated negative electrode material can include one or more of soft carbon, hard carbon, and amorphous carbon. Non-limitingly, the average thickness of the carbon coating in the coated negative electrode material can be 1 nm to 500 nm, optionally 100 nm to 500 nm, and further optionally 100 nm to 200 nm. Non-limitingly, the mass percentage of the coating layer in the coating active material is 0.2% to 5%, and optionally 0.5% to 3%.

[0188] "Soft carbon" and "hard carbon" have well-known meanings in the art. Soft carbon can be graphitized by further high-temperature treatment, while hard carbon is difficult to graphitize even with further high-temperature treatment. In this application, unless otherwise specified, "amorphous carbon" refers to transitional carbon materials with a very low degree of graphitization and crystallization, which are approximately amorphous (or have no fixed shape and periodic structural regularity).

[0189] In some embodiments, the carbon coating layer in the coated negative electrode material is one of a soft carbon coating layer, a hard carbon coating layer, and an amorphous carbon coating layer. It can be understood that the material composition of the soft carbon coating layer is mainly soft carbon, the material composition of the hard carbon coating layer is mainly hard carbon, and the material composition of the amorphous carbon coating layer is mainly amorphous carbon.

[0190] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes a coated negative electrode material, which comprises a negative electrode active body and a carbon coating layer, including at least a portion thereof, located on the negative electrode active body. The D of the negative electrode active material... v 50 is 5μm to 14μm, and can also be any of the following values ​​or a range composed of any two of the following values: 5μm, 5.5μm, 6μm, 7μm, 8μm, 9μm, 10μm, 11μm, 12μm, 13μm, 14μm, etc.

[0191] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes a coated negative electrode material, which includes a negative electrode active body and a carbon coating layer located on at least a portion of the negative electrode active body. The average particle size of the primary particles in the negative electrode active material is 0.1 μm to 1.6 μm, and may also be any of the following values ​​or a range selected from any two of the following values: 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.3 μm, 0.4 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.7 μm, 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, 1.0 μm, 1.1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.6 μm, etc.

[0192] In some implementations, the negative electrode sheet satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:

[0193] (a1) The mass percentage of the coated negative electrode material in the negative electrode active material can be 80%~100%, can be 90%~100%, or can be any of the following percentages or a range selected from any two of the following percentages: 80%, 82%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 88%, 90%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 98%, 100%, etc.

[0194] (a2) The coated negative electrode material includes coated graphite, and the negative electrode active body in the coated graphite includes the graphite body. Non-limitingly, the mass percentage of coated graphite in the negative electrode active material can be 80% to 100%, optionally 90% to 100%, or any of the following percentages or a range selected from any two of the following percentages: 80%, 82%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 88%, 90%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 98%, 100%, etc.

[0195] In this application, "coated graphite" is a coated anode material, wherein the anode active body in coated graphite includes a graphite body; coated graphite includes a graphite body and a carbon coating layer located on at least a portion of the surface of the graphite body.

[0196] In this application, the “graphite body” is composed of graphite.

[0197] By incorporating a coated anode material (such as coated graphite) with a carbon coating layer into the anode active material, the lithium-ion transport channels on the surface of the anode active material can be optimized, promoting lithium-ion transport and improving the kinetics of lithium-ion secondary batteries. At the same time, it is also beneficial to suppress side reactions at the anode interface and suppress the increase in anode interface impedance caused by the participation of acetylene additives in anode film formation, which is conducive to better improving the room temperature performance of acetylene additive battery systems.

[0198] By incorporating a coated anode material (such as coated graphite) with a carbon coating layer into the anode active material, rate performance can be optimized by using a relatively small average primary particle size (such as D1 of 0.1 μm to 1.6 μm).

[0199] In some embodiments, the coated negative electrode material is coated graphite, in which case the active negative electrode body is the graphite body.

[0200] In some embodiments, the porosity of the negative electrode active layer is 14% to 26%, optionally 15% to 25%, further optionally 18% to 22%, and may also be any of the following percentages or a range selected from any two of the following percentages: 14%, 15%, 16%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 24%, 25%, 26%, etc.

[0201] In this application, "porosity" has a meaning known in the art. The "porosity" of the negative electrode active layer refers to the percentage of pore volume in the negative electrode active layer relative to the total volume, and can be expressed as a percentage. The "porosity" of the negative electrode sheet can be denoted as ε.

[0202] The porosity of the negative electrode active layer can be determined using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be tested using the AccuPyc II 1340 fully automatic true density analyzer from Micromeritics, USA, referring to the national standard GB / T 24586-2009 for the determination of apparent density, true density, and porosity of iron ore. This method involves cutting 30 small circular pieces with a diameter of 14 mm from the negative electrode sheet. Based on the principle of gas adsorption, using an inert gas such as helium or nitrogen as a medium, the true volume of the 30 small circular pieces with a diameter of 14 mm is measured. Then, based on the relationship between the apparent volume and true volume of the negative electrode sheet calculated using the area, thickness, and number of small circular pieces, the porosity of the negative electrode active layer is calculated.

[0203] The porosity ε of the negative electrode active layer can also be obtained by gas displacement testing. Using a small-molecule inert gas (such as He) displacement method, combined with Archimedes' principle and Bohr's law, the true volume V1 of the negative electrode active layer is accurately measured. Then, the apparent volume V2 of the negative electrode active layer is calculated through testing (V2 is calculated by multiplying the area of ​​the negative electrode active layer by its thickness d). Therefore, the porosity is calculated as (V2 - V1) / V2 × 100%.

[0204] True volume V1 test: Place the sample cup containing the negative electrode in the true density tester, seal the test system, and introduce helium gas according to the procedure. Calculate the true volume by detecting the gas pressure in the sample chamber and expansion chamber, and then using Bohr's law (PV=nRT).

[0205] By controlling the porosity (ε) of the negative electrode active layer within the aforementioned range, the tortuosity of the negative electrode sheet can be adjusted, which is beneficial for providing a better lithium-ion liquid phase transport channel, achieving better electrolyte wetting, and also taking into account the electrical contact network between the negative electrode active materials, which is beneficial for comprehensively improving the negative electrode dynamics and cycle performance.

[0206] In some embodiments, the active specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material is 2m². 2 / g~6m 2 / g, optional 2.5m 2 / g~5.5m 2 / g, further optional to 3m 2 / g~5m 2 / g, can also be any of the following values ​​or a range selected from any two of the following values: 2 m 2 / g、2.2 m 2 / g、2.4 m 2 / g, 2.5 m 2 / g, 2.6 m 2 / g、2.8 m 2 / g、3 m 2 / g, 3.5 m 2 / g、4m 2 / g, 4.5 m 2 / g、5 m 2 / g, 5.5 m 2 / g, 5.8 m 2 / g、6 m 2 / g etc.

[0207] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "active specific surface area" of the negative electrode active material is a different concept from the "specific surface area" of traditional negative electrode active materials. The "specific surface area" of traditional negative electrode active materials is usually obtained using the gas adsorption BET method, representing the physical adsorption specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material. The active specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material corresponds to the active specific surface area during the actual reaction of the negative electrode active material, and can more accurately characterize the number of active sites during charging and discharging. A larger active specific surface area indicates more active sites in the negative electrode active material, a faster rate of charge exchange between active ions and electrons, and better kinetic performance of the negative electrode and the battery.

[0208] The physical adsorption specific surface area (BET) of the negative electrode active material may have some influence on its active specific surface area, but this is not absolute and is also affected by the type of negative electrode active material. Generally, for negative electrode active materials of the same material, the active specific surface area increases with the increase of the physical adsorption specific surface area. Furthermore, the larger the physical adsorption specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material, the higher its electrochemical activity, and the faster the charge exchange between active ions and electrons on its surface. However, this also leads to more side reactions between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte.

[0209] For example, the active specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material can be tested using the following method.

[0210] (1) Extract the negative electrode active material sample and reconstitute it into the electrode to be tested.

[0211] The negative electrode sheet obtained from disassembling the battery cell is cleaned with a solvent (such as DMC) to remove residual electrolyte. A powder sample of the negative electrode active layer is extracted and resuspended in deionized water to form a homogeneous slurry, denoted as the resuspension slurry. The resuspension slurry is coated onto one side of the negative electrode current collector copper foil, dried, cold-pressed, and punched into a piece with an area of ​​S0 (e.g., 1540.25 mm²). 2 Small circular pieces were used as the electrode to be tested; the single-sided coating surface density and compaction density of the electrode to be tested were the same as in Example 1. The mass M of the negative electrode active layer... J =M B -M0, where M B M0 represents the mass of the electrode to be tested, and M0 represents the mass of the empty current collector foil.

[0212] (2) Using the electrode to be tested as the cathode and a lithium metal sheet as the anode, ferrocene with a concentration of 50 mmol / L was added to the electrolyte (the same as the electrolyte in Example 1), and then a coin cell was assembled. Four parallel samples were scanned at scan rates v of 0.1 mV / s, 0.3 mV / s, 0.5 mV / s, and 1 mV / s, respectively, to obtain cyclic voltammetry curves at different scan rates. The peak current ip of the cyclic voltammetry curves was extracted using EC-Lab software. A linear graph of the cyclic voltammetry curve ip and the square root of the scan rate v was plotted with the square root of the scan rate v as the abscissa and the peak current ip as the ordinate, and the slope K was obtained. The slope can be determined according to the Randles-Sevick equation, where n represents the number of electrons transferred, which is related to the type of probe molecule, and is taken as 1 here; c represents the concentration of ferrocene, which is taken as 50 mmol / L; and D is the diffusion coefficient of ferrocene, which is taken as 2.1 × 10⁻⁶. -6 cm 2 / s; then the active surface area of ​​the electrode to be tested, A = K / (2.69 × 10⁻⁶). 5 ×n 2 / 3 cD1 / 2 The active surface area A of the negative electrode sheet and the mass M of the negative electrode active layer are related. J The ratio can be recorded as the active specific surface area of ​​the negative electrode active material sample to be tested.

[0213] In some embodiments, the additive further includes additive B, which is one or more of lithium salt additives and phosphate ester additives. Non-limitingly, the mass ratio of additive B to the acetylene additive can be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100, greater than 0 and less than or equal to 50, or 0.1 to 100, optionally 0.3 to 50, further optionally 0.3 to 20, or 0.08 to 100, optionally 0.08 to 50, further optionally 0.08 to 20, or any of the following values ​​or a range selected from any two of the following values: 0.05, 0.08, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, etc.

[0214] Lithium salt additives and phosphate ester additives have low negative electrode film resistance. By introducing one or more of lithium salt additives and phosphate ester additives into the electrolyte, it is beneficial to reduce the resistance of the negative electrode SEI film and reduce the internal resistance of the battery. Furthermore, by controlling the mass ratio of additive B to alkyne additive within the aforementioned range, the room temperature performance of the alkyne additive battery system can be better improved.

Specifically, the dissolution of transition metal ions from the positive electrode not only affects the structural stability of the positive electrode active material, but these dissolved transition metal ions, after migrating to and depositing at the negative electrode, can also easily damage the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film, intensifying interfacial side reactions at the negative electrode.

A clear boundary can be observed at the coating interface, and the thickness and average thickness of the coating layer can be calculated based on the TEM image. Further analysis using one or more methods such as energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Raman spectroscopy can identify the types of substances in the coating layer and the positive electrode active material, or vice versa.

[0265] Those skilled in the art can identify the components in the positive and negative active layers using one or more of the following detection methods known in the art, including but not limited to: Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. 1 Methods include 1H NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The sample preparation and testing methods for these methods are known to those skilled in the art, and the test parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to the structure of the material or substance and the characteristics of the sample.

[0266] As a non-limiting example, EDS can be used to distinguish between carbon and silicon, and thus between carbon-based and silicon-based materials. Similarly, EDS can be used to detect the type and content of conductive agents, but is not limited to these applications.

[0267] Using natural graphite and artificial graphite as non-limiting examples, the negative electrode active materials can be distinguished by the appearance and morphology of the particles. Further X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis can be performed. In the XRD pattern, if the characteristic peak near 2θ 26.5° is very sharp and has high intensity, it is natural graphite; if the characteristic peak near 2θ 26.5° is relatively broad and has weak intensity, it is artificial graphite.

[0268] Taking graphite and soft carbon as examples of negative electrode active materials, Raman spectroscopy can be used to distinguish between them. More specifically, the characteristic peak information of carbon components in the spectrum (such as the intensity ratio of the D peak to the G peak, I) can be used. D / G The analysis focused on soft carbon. Both the D and G peaks are Raman characteristic peaks of carbon atom crystals. The D peak represents defects in the carbon atom crystal; the more defects, the greater the intensity of the D peak. The intensity of the D peak reflects the content of amorphous (randomly stacked) regions. The G peak represents the in-plane stretching vibrations of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms; the intensity of the G peak reflects the content of graphitized (layered structure) regions. As the degree of disorder in carbon atoms increases, the intensity ratio of the D peak to the G peak also increases. The Raman spectra can also be compared. D / G Standard Raman spectrum of graphite I D / G The difference between the two peaks can be used to determine whether the material being tested contains soft carbon. Similarly, the difference between the D and G peaks in the Raman spectrum can be used to distinguish between graphite and hard carbon. Likewise, the difference between the D and G peaks in the Raman spectrum can be used to distinguish between natural graphite and synthetic graphite.

[0365] In some embodiments, the electrolyte includes one or both of lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, and in some of these embodiments, the electrolyte includes at least lithium hexafluorophosphate.

[0366] In some embodiments, the molar volume concentration of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide in the electrolyte is 0~0.5 mol / L, optionally 0.01 mol / L~0.5 mol / L, or any of the following concentrations or a range selected from any two of the following concentrations: 0 mol / L, 0.01 mol / L, 0.02 mol / L, 0.025 mol / L, 0.03 mol / L, 0.04 mol / L, 0.05 mol / L, 0.06 mol / L, 0.075 mol / L, 0.08 mol / L, 0.09 mol / L, 0.1 mol / L, 0.12 mol / L, 0.14 mol / L, 0.15 mol / L, 0.16 mol / L, 0.18 mol / L, 0.2 mol / L, 0.25 mol / L, 0.3 mol / L. mol / L, 0.35mol / L, 0.4 mol / L, 0.45 mol / L, 0.5 mol / L, etc.

[0367] In some embodiments, the electrolyte includes lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI). Lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide can function as both a film-forming additive and an electrolyte salt in the electrolyte. Non-limitingly, the molar volume concentration of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide in the electrolyte can be from 0.01 mol / L to 0.5 mol / L, optionally from 0.01 mol / L to 0.3 mol / L, or any of the following concentrations or a range selected from any two of the following concentrations: 0.01 mol / L, 0.02 mol / L, 0.025 mol / L, 0.03 mol / L, 0.04 mol / L, 0.05 mol / L, 0.06 mol / L, 0.075 mol / L, 0.08 mol / L, 0.09 mol / L, 0.1 mol / L, 0.12 mol / L, 0.14 mol / L, 0.15 mol / L, 0.16 mol / L, 0.18 mol / L, 0.2 mol / L, 0.25 mol / L, 0.3 mol / L. mol / L, 0.35 mol / L, 0.4 mol / L, 0.45 mol / L, 0.5mol / L, etc.

On the one hand, the stability of the positive and negative electrode interfacial film can be improved by introducing LiFSI into the electrolyte; on the other hand, LiFSI has a better ability to dissociate lithium ions than lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), so the addition of LiFSI is also beneficial to improving the liquid phase conductivity.

[0370] The types of non-aqueous solvents in the electrolyte can be described in the context of this application. Non-limitingly, other types of non-aqueous solvents may also be introduced into the electrolyte.

These other types of additives may include negative electrode film-forming additives, positive electrode film-forming additives, and additives that can improve certain battery performance characteristics, such as additives that improve battery overcharge performance, additives that improve battery high-temperature or low-temperature performance, etc.

[0373] In some embodiments, the additives in the electrolyte include a second additive. In this application, unless otherwise specified, "second additive" refers to a negative electrode film-forming additive that is different from alkyne additives. "Negative electrode film-forming additive" refers to an additive capable of decomposing at the negative electrode operating potential and participating in the formation of the negative electrode SEI film. The higher the reduction potential of the negative electrode film-forming additive, that is, the more positive the potential value relative to Li / Li⁺, the earlier the negative electrode film-forming additive decomposes and thus participates in the formation of the negative electrode SEI film. It is understood that some negative electrode film-forming additives can also participate in the formation of an interface film (CEI film) at the positive electrode. Typically, those skilled in the art can determine whether an additive can participate in the formation of the negative electrode SEI film based on methods such as reduction potential analysis, analysis of decomposition products and SEI film composition, and verification of electrochemical performance. For example, the reduction potential of the additive can be measured in a simulated battery environment (such as a lithium metal-pair working electrode) using cyclic voltammetry. For example, the composition of the SEI film can be analyzed using chemical composition analysis methods including but not limited to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). For example, the change in performance indicators such as initial coulombic efficiency, cycle stability, and impedance spectrum when the additive is introduced can be used to determine whether an introduced additive can participate in the formation of the negative electrode SEI film.

[0374] In some embodiments, the second additive includes one or more of lithium salt additives, phosphate ester additives, vinylene carbonate, fluorocarbonate additives (such as fluoroethylene carbonate), saturated sulpholactones, cyclic sulfates, etc.

[0376] In some embodiments, the additives in the electrolyte include cyclic sulfates.

[0377] In this application, "cyclic sulfate" contains one or more monocyclic sulfate units, and "monocyclic sulfate unit" contains *-OS(=O)2-O-*, where each * independently represents a bonding site with a carbon atom.

[0380] In some embodiments, the number of monocyclic sulfate units in the polycyclic sulfate ester is 2 to 4, and may further be 2, 3 or 4.

[0381] In some embodiments, the monocyclic sulfate unit is a 5- to 7-membered monocyclic ring, which can be a 5-membered ring, a 6-membered ring, or a 7-membered ring, and more specifically, a 5-membered ring or a 6-membered ring.

[0382] In some embodiments, the monocyclic ring in the monocyclic sulfate unit is replaced by 0, 1, or more substituents Q3, each of which is independently a halogen, C, or C. 1-3 Alkyl or C 1-3 Alkoxy group. Optionally, the substituent Q3 in the monocyclic sulfate unit is each independently a fluorine atom, a methyl group, or a methoxy group.

[0383] By introducing cyclic sulfates into the electrolyte, the negative electrode interface film can be optimized, the stability of the negative electrode SEI film can be improved, the negative electrode interface side reactions can be reduced, and the negative electrode interface impedance and battery internal resistance can be better controlled.

[0384] In some embodiments, the additives in the electrolyte include vinyl sulfate.

[0385] In some embodiments, the additives in the electrolyte include vinylene carbonate (VC). Vinylene carbonate (VC) can optimize the SEI film. By introducing VC into the electrolyte, it is beneficial to reduce or delay the consumption of the negative electrode film by alkyne additives, and to better control the charge transfer impedance of the negative electrode surface and the internal resistance of the battery.

[0386] In some embodiments, the additives in the electrolyte include fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC). Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) can form a robust interfacial film with low ion transport impedance on the negative electrode surface at room temperature. By introducing fluorocarbonate additives (such as FEC) into the electrolyte, it is beneficial to reduce or delay the consumption of acetylene additives in the negative electrode film formation, and to better control the negative electrode interfacial impedance and battery internal resistance.

[0460] I. Preparation of lithium-ion secondary batteries (lithium-ion secondary battery cells)

[0461] Example 1.

[0462] (1) Positive electrode plate

[0463] The positive electrode active material (NCM811), conductive agent carbon black (Super P), and binder polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were mixed uniformly in the solvent N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) at a weight ratio of 95:2.5:2.5 to obtain a positive electrode slurry with a solid content of 50 wt%. The positive electrode slurry was coated onto both sides of the positive electrode current collector aluminum foil, with a coating density of 0.26 g / 1540.25 mm². 2 Through processes such as drying, cold pressing, slitting, and cutting, positive electrode sheets are obtained, with a compacted density of 3.5 g / cm³. 3 .

[0464] In this example, the D of the positive electrode active material v 50 is 3μm.

[0465] (2) Negative electrode plate

[0466] A negative electrode slurry was prepared by uniformly mixing the negative electrode active material (coated graphite), conductive agent carbon black (Super P), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and thickener sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) in deionized water at a weight ratio of 95:1.5:1.5:2, with a solid content of 70 wt%. The negative electrode slurry was coated on both sides of the copper foil of the negative electrode current collector (with the same coating weight on both sides), and the coating density on one side of the negative electrode current collector was 0.112 g / 1540.25 mm. 2 The negative electrode sheet is obtained through drying, cold pressing, slitting, and cutting processes. The compacted density of the negative electrode sheet is approximately 1.6 g / cm³. 3 .

[0467] In this example, the negative electrode active material is coated graphite, comprising a graphite body and a soft carbon coating layer on the surface of the graphite body. The graphite body is artificial graphite, and the soft carbon coating layer accounts for approximately 5% of the mass of the coated graphite.

Then the cell goes through the processes of standing, hot and cold pressing, formation, shaping and capacity testing to obtain lithium-ion secondary battery (lithium-ion secondary battery cell).
