[0021] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The present invention provides a composite negative electrode sheet, comprising a current collector and a negative electrode active material layer arranged on at least one side of the current collector, wherein the negative electrode active material layer comprises a first negative electrode active material layer, a second negative electrode active material layer and a third negative electrode active material layer arranged in sequence along the thickness direction of the current collector; the first negative electrode active material layer comprises a first negative electrode active material, and the first negative electrode active material comprises primary particles and secondary particles; the second negative electrode active material layer comprises a second negative electrode active material, and the second negative electrode active material comprises primary particles and secondary particles; the third negative electrode active material layer comprises a third negative electrode active material, and the third negative electrode active material comprises primary particles;

[0023] The composite negative electrode sheet satisfies the relationship shown in formula (I);

[0024] 30%≤ω1×η1+ω2×η2+ω3×η3≤70% Formula (I);

[0025] In formula (I), ω1 is the weight proportion of the first negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode active material layer, η1 is the mass proportion of the secondary particles in the first negative electrode active material, ω2 is the weight proportion of the second negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode active material layer, η2 is the proportion of the secondary particles in the second negative electrode active material, ω3 is the weight proportion of the third negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode active material layer, and η3 is the proportion of secondary particles in the third negative electrode active material.

[0026] In the present invention, the composite negative electrode sheet includes a current collector and a negative electrode active material layer arranged on at least one side of the current collector, and the negative electrode active material layer includes a first negative electrode active material layer, a second negative electrode active material layer and a third negative electrode active material layer arranged in sequence along the thickness direction of the current collector.

[0027] The present invention has no special restrictions on the type and source of the current collector, and a current collector for preparing negative electrode sheets well known to those skilled in the art can be used.

[0028] In the present invention, the first negative electrode active material layer comprises a first negative electrode active material, the first negative electrode active material comprises primary particles and secondary particles; the second negative electrode active material layer comprises a second negative electrode active material, the second negative electrode active material comprises primary particles and secondary particles; the third negative electrode active material layer comprises a third negative electrode active material, the third negative electrode active material comprises primary particles; on this basis, the composite negative electrode sheet satisfies the relationship shown in formula (I);

[0029] 30%≤ω1×η1+ω2×η2+ω3×η3≤70% Formula (I);

[0030] In formula (I), ω1 is the weight proportion of the first negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode active material layer, η1 is the mass proportion of the secondary particles in the first negative electrode active material, ω2 is the weight proportion of the second negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode active material layer, η2 is the proportion of the secondary particles in the second negative electrode active material, ω3 is the weight proportion of the third negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode active material layer, and η3 is the proportion of secondary particles in the third negative electrode active material.

[0031] In the present invention, when the total proportion of secondary particles in the active material layer (ω1×η1+ω2×η2+ω3×η3) is less than 30%, it is easy to cause excessive rebound of the pole piece, large battery expansion force, and deterioration of battery performance; when the total proportion of secondary particles in the active material layer (ω1×η1+ω2×η2+ω3×η3) is higher than 70%, the pole piece rebounds greatly in the lateral direction, causing the pole piece to wrinkle. Therefore, the present invention regulates the total proportion of secondary particles in each layer through the above formula (I), which can achieve overall good interaction and optimize the performance of the obtained composite negative electrode sheet. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, 42.5%≤ω1×η1+ω2×η2+ω3×η3≤46%.

[0032] In the present invention, 30%≤ω1≤50%, 30%≤ω2≤50%, 5%≤ω3≤20%; η1≤50%, η2≥50%, and η3 is 0.

[0033] In the present invention, the ω1 is preferably 35% to 50%, specifically 35%, 43%, 45%, 46%, 50%; the η1 is specifically 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 0%; the secondary particles have lower compaction than the primary particles, and are difficult to process. When the proportion of secondary particles in the first negative electrode active material is too high, it is easy to cause insufficient peeling force of the pole piece and demolding of the pole piece.

[0034] In the present invention, the ω2 is preferably 35% to 50%, specifically 35%, 43%, 45%, 46%, 50%; the η2 can specifically be 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%; the second layer of active material secondary particles has a high content, which can ensure the fast charging capability of the second negative electrode active material layer and realize the fast charging capability of the composite negative electrode sheet.

[0035] In the present invention, the ω3 is preferably 8% to 15%, specifically 8%, 10%, 14%, and 15%; the η3 is 0, that is, the third negative electrode active material contains only primary particles, because its surface reaction activity is low and the high temperature performance is good, which can reduce the contact between the electrolyte and the second negative electrode active material and improve the overall high temperature performance.

[0036] In the present invention, the first negative electrode active material is preferably one or more of artificial graphite and natural graphite; the second negative electrode active material is preferably one or more of artificial graphite and natural graphite; the third negative electrode active material is preferably artificial graphite. In the present invention, the third negative electrode active material layer is in contact with the electrolyte in order to reduce the contact between the first to second negative electrode active material layers and the electrolyte, and natural graphite has many internal defects and poor high temperature performance, and is not suitable for the third negative electrode active material layer. Therefore, the third negative electrode active material is preferably artificial graphite, while the first to second negative electrode active material layers are not subject to such restrictions.

[0037] In the present invention, in the first negative electrode active material layer, part of the first negative electrode active material is coated with an amorphous carbon layer, and the mass ratio of the first negative electrode active material coated with the amorphous carbon layer to the first negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer is preferably ≤30%, specifically 30%, 20%, 10%. In the present invention, the first active material layer is in contact with the current collector, the surface-coated amorphous carbon has more defects, the active sites are increased, and it is beneficial to improve the fast charging capability; when the coating ratio is higher, it is easy to cause a difference in peeling force with the current collector, and the pole piece is demolded.

[0038] In the present invention, in the second negative electrode active material layer, part of the second negative electrode active material is coated with an amorphous carbon layer, and the mass ratio of the second negative electrode active material coated with the amorphous carbon layer to the second negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode active material layer is preferably ≥50%, specifically 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%; the average thickness of the amorphous carbon layer is preferably ≥0.3μm. In the present invention, the second negative electrode active material layer plays a role in rapid transmission and embedding of lithium ions, and its fast charging capability is required to be high, and at least part of the surface needs to be coated with an amorphous carbon layer to improve the fast charging capability; at the same time, when the coated carbon layer is too thin, the improvement of the fast charging capability is not obvious.

[0039] In the present invention, the thickness d3 of the third negative electrode active material layer preferably accounts for 5% to 15% of the total thickness d of the active material layer, and more preferably 5.3% to 14.7%; in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickness d1 of the first negative electrode active material layer is preferably 50 μm to 73 μm, the thickness d2 of the second negative electrode active material layer is preferably 56 μm to 78 μm, and the thickness d3 of the third negative electrode active material layer is preferably 8 μm to 22 μm. In the present invention, when the thickness of the third negative electrode active material layer is too thick, the transmission of lithium ions is affected; when the third negative electrode active material layer is too thin, the processing is difficult and the effect of isolating the electrolyte is poor, and the performance improvement is not obvious; therefore, within the range of 5 to 15%, the comprehensive performance is optimal.

[0040] In the present invention, the particle size Dv50 of the third negative electrode active material is preferably 5μm to 10μm, more preferably 5.2μm to 7.5μm; the particle size Dv50 of the second negative electrode active material is preferably greater than the particle size Dv50 of the third negative electrode active material; in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the particle size Dv50 of the second negative electrode active material is preferably 10.2μm to 14.2μm. In the present invention, the third negative electrode active material layer uses small-particle materials, which have small particle sizes and low ion migration tortuosity, and can take into account the fast charging capability of the battery; while the second negative electrode active material layer has a larger particle size, a smaller OI value, and better isotropy of the active material, which is conducive to the improvement of fast charging capability.

[0041] The present invention achieves better overall interaction through multi-layer coating (three layers or more) and regulation of specific condition parameters of each layer. The obtained composite negative electrode sheet is used in the battery, which can significantly improve the high temperature performance without much difference in the fast charging capability of the battery.

[0042] In the present invention, if the above-mentioned multi-layer coating method is more than three layers, it is preferred to further arrange an nth negative electrode active material layer (n≥4) on the third negative electrode active material layer. At the same time, it is limited that the nth negative electrode active material layer contains only primary particles, and the first layer to the n-1th layer all contain primary particles and secondary particles. On this basis, the core idea of ​​the present invention (relationship and the setting of active materials in each layer) can also be met, and will not be repeated here.
