DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions of the application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0022] The present application 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, the negative electrode active material layer comprising 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, the first negative electrode active material comprising 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 comprising primary particles and secondary particles; and the third negative electrode active material layer comprises a third negative electrode active material, the third negative electrode active material comprising primary particles.

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

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

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

[0026] In the present application, the composite negative electrode sheet comprises a current collector and a negative electrode active material layer arranged on at least one side of the current collector, the negative electrode active material layer comprising 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 application does not have special restrictions on the type and source of the current collector, and any current collector known to those skilled in the art for preparing a negative electrode sheet can be used.

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

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

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

[0031] In the present application, when the total ratio of the secondary particles (ω1×η1+ω2×η2+ω3×η3) in the active material layer is less than 30%, the electrode sheet is prone to have excessive rebound, the battery has large swelling force, and the battery performance is deteriorated; when the total ratio of the secondary particles (ω1×η1+ω2×η2+ω3×η3) in the active material layer is higher than 70%, the electrode sheet has large rebound in the transverse direction, and the electrode sheet is prone to wrinkle. Therefore, by regulating the total ratio of the secondary particles in each layer by formula (I), the present application can realize good overall interaction, and the obtained composite negative electrode sheet has optimal performance. In the preferred embodiments of the present application, 42.5%≤ω1×η1+ω2×η2+ω3×η3≤46%.

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

[0033] In the present application, ω1 is preferably 35%-50%, and can be 35%, 43%, 45%, 46%, or 50% in particular; η1 can be 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, or 0% in particular; the tap density of the secondary particles is lower than that of the primary particles, and the processing difficulty is large; when the ratio of the secondary particles in the first negative electrode active material is too high, the electrode sheet is prone to have insufficient peeling force and electrode sheet demolding.

[0034] In the present application, ω2 is preferably 35%-50%, and can be 35%, 43%, 45%, 46%, or 50% in particular; η2 can be 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% in particular; the second layer active material has high secondary particle 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 application, ω3 is preferably 8%-15%, and can be 8%, 10%, 14%, or 15% in particular; η3 is 0, i.e., the third negative electrode active material contains only primary particles; because the surface reactivity of the primary particles is low and the high-temperature performance is good, the contact between the electrolyte and the second negative electrode active material can be reduced, and the overall high-temperature performance can be improved.

[0036] In the present application, 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; and the third negative electrode active material is preferably artificial graphite. In the present application, the third negative electrode active material layer is in contact with the electrolyte, and the purpose is to reduce the contact of the first to second negative electrode active material layers with the electrolyte. Natural graphite has many internal defects and poor high-temperature performance, and is not suitable for the third negative electrode active material layer, so the third negative electrode active material is preferably artificial graphite, and there is no such limitation for the first negative electrode active material layer to the second negative electrode active material layer.

[0037] In the present application, in the first negative electrode active material layer, part of the first negative electrode active material is coated with an amorphous carbon layer on the surface. The mass ratio of the first negative electrode active material coated with an amorphous carbon layer to the first negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer is preferably ≤ 30%, and can be 30%, 20%, or 10%. In the present application, the first negative electrode active material layer is in contact with the current collector. The amorphous carbon layer has more defects on the surface, and the active sites are increased, which is beneficial to improve the fast charging capacity. When the coating ratio is higher, the peeling force between the current collector and the electrode sheet is poor, and the electrode sheet is difficult to demold.

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

[0039] In the present application, the thickness d3 of the third negative electrode active material layer is preferably 5% to 15% of the total thickness d of the active material layer, and more preferably 5.3% to 14.7%. In the preferred embodiment of the present application, 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 application, when the thickness of the third negative electrode active material layer is too thick, the transmission of lithium ions is affected. When the thickness of the third negative electrode active material layer is too thin, the processing difficulty is large, the effect of isolating the electrolyte is poor, and the performance improvement is not obvious. Therefore, in the range of 5 to 15%, the comprehensive performance is the best.

[0040] In the present application, the particle size Dv50 of the third negative electrode active material is preferably 5-10 mu m, more preferably 5.2-7.5 mu m; the particle size Dv50 of the second negative electrode active material is preferably larger than that of the third negative electrode active material; in the preferred embodiment of the present application, the particle size Dv50 of the second negative electrode active material is preferably 10.2-14.2 mu m. In the present application, the third negative electrode active material layer uses small-particle material, the small-particle material has small particle size and low ion migration tortuosity, and the fast charging capability of the battery can be considered; and the second negative electrode active material layer has larger particle size, smaller OI value and better active material isotropy, which is beneficial to the improvement of the fast charging capability.

[0041] The present application realizes good overall interaction by the multi-layer coating method (three layers or more) and the regulation of specific condition parameters of each layer, and the composite negative electrode sheet obtained by the method can significantly improve the high-temperature performance under the condition that the fast charging capability of the battery is not significantly different.

[0042] In the present application, if the above multi-layer coating method is three layers or more, the nth negative electrode active material layer (n≥4) is further arranged on the third negative electrode active material layer, and meanwhile, the nth negative electrode active material layer is limited to contain only primary particles, and the first layer to the (n-1)th layer contain both primary particles and secondary particles, which can also meet the core idea (relationship and arrangement of active materials in each layer) of the present application, and will not be described here.
