Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a battery cell, a battery device and an electrical device. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, secondary batteries have been widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, as well as power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields. As the market pursues the electrical performance of battery cells, the processing difficulty of battery cells increases and the yield rate decreases, resulting in the safety performance and service life of battery cells failing to meet expectations, limiting the further application of batteries. How to take both into account at the same time has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present application is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a battery cell, a battery device and an electric device, wherein the battery cell has excellent energy density, safety performance and cycle life.
[0004] An embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a battery cell, wherein the battery cell includes a positive electrode plate, the positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode collector, a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one side of the positive electrode collector, and an undercoat layer arranged between the positive electrode collector and at least one side of the positive electrode film layer, the positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing transition metal oxide, the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer is greater than or equal to 16μm, and can be optionally 16μm-26μm; the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the particles in the undercoat layer is less than or equal to 15μm, and can be optionally 5μm-15μm.
[0005] The positive electrode film layer of the battery cell provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a lithium-containing transition metal oxide, and the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer is greater than or equal to 16μm to improve the energy density of the battery cell. At the same time, a base coating layer with particles Dv99 less than or equal to 15μm is arranged between the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode collector to buffer the squeezing of the current collector by large particles in the positive electrode film layer during the slicing process, reduce the probability of large-sized burrs during the electrode sheet cutting process, and improve the yield rate in the electrode sheet cutting process while maintaining the high energy density of the battery cell, thereby meeting the performance and efficiency requirements.
[0006] In any embodiment, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the particles in the base coating layer is 0.4 μm-2.0 μm, optionally 0.4 μm-1.5 μm, and further optionally 0.4 μm-0.8 μm.
[0007] The base coating layer uses small particle materials with a particle size that meets the above range, which further buffers the extrusion of large particles in the positive electrode film layer on the current collector during slicing, reduces the probability of large-size burrs, and at the same time can improve the adhesion between the positive electrode current collector and the base coating layer, effectively preventing powder loss, aluminum leakage, etc. when the electrode sheets are cut, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0008] In any embodiment, the undercoat layer comprises a lithium-containing transition metal phosphate, wherein the general formula of the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate comprises Li m Q q Fe x P y O j , wherein Q includes one or more of Al, Na, K, Mg, Cu, Mn, Cr, Zn, Pb, Ca, Co, Ni, Sr, Nb, V, Ti, B, S, Si, N, F, Cl, and Br, 0.6≤m≤1.15, 0≤x≤1, 0.95≤y≤1, 3.5≤j≤4, and 0≤q≤1.
[0009] Lithium-containing transition metal phosphates are generally polyanion active materials with an olivine structure. Compared with lithium-containing transition metal oxides, they have good thermodynamic thermal stability and can reduce high-temperature oxygen release. They also have lower particle hardness and smaller particle distribution. Using them as a base coating can not only alleviate the extrusion of the current collector and improve the burr phenomenon, but also improve the safety performance and service life of the battery cell.
[0010] In any embodiment, the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate includes Mn element, and based on the total molar number of transition metal elements in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate, the molar proportion of Mn element in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate is 10%~70%, and can be optionally 30%~50%.
[0011] Studies have shown that the voltage platform of conventional lithium iron phosphate materials is too low (~3.2V) compared to lithium-containing transition metal oxides, which lowers the voltage platform of the battery cell when the battery is working, making it difficult to fully utilize the gram capacity of lithium iron phosphate. Introducing the Mn element into lithium iron phosphate can effectively increase the voltage platform of lithium iron phosphate (~3.7V), adapting it to the voltage window of lithium-containing transition metal oxides in the positive electrode film layer, which is conducive to the utilization of the material's gram capacity, allowing the bottom coating to reduce the probability of burrs while reducing the negative impact on the battery's energy density.
[0012] In any embodiment, the base coating layer includes lithium manganese iron phosphate and one or more of its doped modified materials and coated modified materials. Based on the total molar number of Mn element and Fe element, the molar proportion of Mn element is 10%~70%, and can be optionally 30%~50%.
[0013] Introducing Mn element into lithium iron phosphate, the active material of the bottom coating layer, can increase the voltage platform of the active material and adapt to the voltage platform window of lithium-containing transition metal oxides, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery cell; however, Mn ions have a large ionic radius, are prone to crystal structure distortion, and have poor stability, resulting in a decrease in cycle life. Therefore, controlling the molar proportion of the Mn element to meet the above range can improve the energy density of the battery while also improving the cycle life of the battery.
[0014] In any embodiment, the lithium-containing transition metal oxide includes nickel element, and the molar ratio of the nickel element in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide is 80%-96% based on the total molar number of transition metal in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide.
[0015] Lithium-containing transition metal oxides with a molar proportion of 80%-96% nickel have high gram capacity, which is conducive to further improving the energy density of battery cells, but this will further increase the hardness of particles in the positive electrode film layer, increase the degree of compression of large particles in the positive electrode film layer on the current collector, and make it easy to produce large-sized burrs during the cutting process of the positive electrode sheet. The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is particularly suitable for the positive electrode sheet, which further improves the high energy density of the battery while improving the yield rate during the cutting process of the electrode sheet, meeting the performance and efficiency requirements.
[0016] In any embodiment, the volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer presents a bimodal distribution, and the peak position difference is greater than or equal to 3 μm and less than or equal to 8 μm.
[0017] In any embodiment, in the volume distribution curve of particles in the positive electrode film layer, the double peaks are located at 1 μm-6 μm and 6 μm-14 μm respectively.
[0018] The volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer presents a bimodal distribution, indicating that the positive electrode film layer includes large particles and small particles of different sizes. Filling the gaps between large particles with small particles is beneficial to improving the compaction density of the electrode sheet, thereby further improving the energy density of the battery.
[0019] In any embodiment, the particles in the positive electrode film layer include lithium-containing transition metal oxide polycrystalline particles and lithium-containing transition metal oxide single crystal particles.
[0020] In any embodiment, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the polycrystalline particles is 18 μm-30 μm, and can be 20 μm-30 μm; and / or the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the polycrystalline particles is 6 μm-14 μm, and can be 6 μm-12 μm.
[0021] In any embodiment, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the single crystal particles is 6 μm-15 μm, and can be 6 μm-13 μm; and / or the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the single crystal particles is 1 μm-6 μm, and can be 1 μm-4 μm.
[0022] The combination of polycrystalline particles and single crystal particles that meet the above-mentioned particle size range is beneficial to improving the particle grading, achieving close stacking of particles in the positive electrode film layer, and further increasing the compaction density of the electrode sheet, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery.
[0023] In any embodiment, the mass ratio of the polycrystalline particles to the single crystal particles is 5:5-9:1, and can be optionally 6:4-8:2.
[0024] Controlling the mass ratio of polycrystalline particles and single crystal particles to meet the above range is beneficial to improving the compaction density of the electrode, so that the battery has excellent energy density.
[0025] In any embodiment, the lithium-containing transition metal oxide comprises Li a1 Ni x1 Co y1 M1 z1 M2 w1 O 2-b1 , wherein M1 includes one or more of Mn and Al, and M2 includes one or more of Zr, B, Mg, Ti, W, Mo, Nb, Ta, Sr, Sb, and K; 0.8≤a1≤1.2, 0≤x1≤1, 0≤y1≤1, 0≤z1≤1, 0≤w1≤0.1, and -0.1≤b1≤0.1.
[0026] When the positive electrode film layer includes the above-mentioned type of lithium-containing transition metal oxide, the gram capacity of the positive electrode active material can be further increased, thereby further improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0027] In any embodiment, the thickness of the primer layer on one side is 5 μm-20 μm, and can be 10-15 μm.
[0028] When the thickness of the bottom coating on one side is within the above range, it can reduce the contact between large particles of the positive electrode active material and the current collector, reduce the probability of large-sized burrs on the pole piece during cutting, and further improve the safety performance of the battery cell; at the same time, it can reduce the deterioration of pole piece compression and battery capacity loss caused by adding the bottom coating, so that the battery cell still has a high energy density.
[0029] In any embodiment, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer on one side is 20 μm-70 μm.
[0030] The thinning of the positive electrode film layer is conducive to reducing the diffusion path of lithium ions and improving the dynamic performance of battery cells; however, with the thinning of the positive electrode film layer, in order to make the battery have a high energy density, the compaction density of the pole piece is further increased, which makes the current collector more severely squeezed by large particles during slicing, and the probability of burrs is higher. At the same time, with the thinning of the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode sheet, the burr control level of large-size specifications is tightened simultaneously, and the burrs are more likely to protrude from the edge of the positive electrode film layer, exacerbating the safety hazards of the burr problem.
[0031] In any embodiment, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 5 μm-20 μm, and can be 7 μm-15 μm.
[0032] The positive electrode current collector does not contribute to the capacity of the battery, and its thinning is conducive to making room for the positive electrode active material and improving the energy density of the battery cell. However, the thinning of the positive electrode current collector reduces its ability to withstand large particle extrusion during the slitting process, and the burr phenomenon is more serious. The thickness of the positive electrode current collector within the above range is conducive to improving the yield rate during the electrode cutting process while maintaining the high energy density of the battery cell, meeting the performance and efficiency requirements.
[0033] In any embodiment, when the battery cell is fully charged, the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet is 3.4 g / cm 3 -3.7g / cm 3 .
[0034] The compaction density of the positive electrode sheet within the above range is beneficial to maintaining the high energy density of the battery cell while improving the yield rate in the electrode sheet cutting process, thereby meeting the performance and efficiency requirements.
[0035] In any embodiment, the bonding strength between the primer layer and the positive electrode current collector is 5 N / m-75 N / m, and can be 5 N / m-50 N / m.
[0036] The bonding strength between the primer layer and the positive electrode current collector within the above range is beneficial to improving the aluminum leakage of the pole piece and improving the cycle life of the battery.
[0037] In any embodiment, the thermal decomposition temperature of the positive electrode plate is 225°C-255°C, and can be optionally 227°C-250°C.
[0038] In any embodiment, after the positive electrode sheets are cut at a cutting speed of 0.5 m / s to obtain at least 2000 sheets, the proportion of positive electrode sheets with burrs is 0%-0.05%.
[0039] In any embodiment, the volume energy density of the battery cell is 600Wh / L-720Wh / L.
[0040] An embodiment of a second aspect of the present application provides a battery device, which includes the battery cell in the above embodiment.
[0041] An embodiment of the third aspect of the present application provides an electrical device, which includes the battery cell in the above embodiment, and the battery cell is used to provide electrical energy.

More specifically, any of the following conditions satisfies the condition "A or B": A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist); A is false (or does not exist) and B is true (or exists); or both A and B are true (or exist).
[0053] As the market demands for the endurance of electrical devices increase, increasing the volume energy density of battery cells has become a common pursuit of the industry. The increase in the volume energy density of battery cells often requires an increase in the compaction density of the pole pieces to increase the load of active materials per unit volume. However, researchers have found that pole pieces with high compaction density are prone to large-sized burrs during the cutting process. Pole pieces with large-sized burrs are prone to penetrate the diaphragm after the electrode assembly, causing abnormal self-discharge of the battery cell, and even causing short circuit failure of the battery cell, thereby affecting the safety performance and life of the battery, and failing to meet the use requirements of the battery cell.
[0054] Based on the above problems, the first embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell. Figure 1 As shown, the battery cell includes a positive electrode plate 11, the positive electrode plate 11 includes a positive electrode collector 111, a positive electrode film layer 113 arranged on at least one side of the positive electrode collector, and an undercoat layer 112 arranged between the positive electrode collector and the positive electrode film layer on at least one side, the positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing transition metal oxide, the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer is greater than or equal to 16μm, and can be optionally 16μm-26μm; the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the particles in the undercoat layer is less than or equal to 15μm, and can be optionally 5μm-15μm.
[0055] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer is greater than or equal to 16μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer is 16μm-26μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer can be selected as 16μm, 17μm, 18μm, 19μm, 20μm, 21μm, 22μm, 23μm, 24μm, 25μm, 26μm, or any range between any two of the foregoing values. It can be understood that the particles in the positive electrode film layer mainly come from the positive electrode active material particles.
[0056] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the particles in the primer layer is less than or equal to 15 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the particles in the primer layer is 5 μm-15 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the particles in the primer layer is 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0057] When used in this article, the term "burr" refers to a metal protrusion or protrusion extending outward from the current collector in accordance with the IEEE1725 battery cell safety performance review and testing standard; the extension direction can be in any direction, such as the thickness direction or the pole piece plane direction, and the causes of its occurrence include but are not limited to cutting, tearing, etc.
[0058] When used in this article, the terms "volume distribution particle size Dv90, Dv99, Dv50" refer to the particle sizes corresponding to the cumulative volume distribution percentages of the material reaching 90%, 99%, and 50%, respectively. The values can be measured using conventional instruments and methods in the art. For example, they can be measured with reference to GB / T19077-2016 using an instrument that uses a particle size distribution laser diffraction method (such as the Mastersizer 2000E laser particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments Ltd., UK).
[0059] The volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer and the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the particles in the undercoat layer can be tested by any known method in the art. As an example, powder is scraped from the positive electrode film layer or the undercoat layer and tested in the manner described above.
[0060] Lithium-containing transition metal oxides are an important class of positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, characterized by transition metals (such as cobalt, nickel, manganese, etc.) combined with oxygen to form a layered or spinel structure. As an example, they include but are not limited to lithium cobalt oxide ( , LCO), lithium nickel oxide ( , LNO), ternary materials lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, lithium manganese oxide, and lithium-rich manganese-based oxide.
[0061] In order to improve the compaction density of the electrode, it is necessary to increase the proportion of large particles in the electrode film layer to achieve dense stacking of the film layer through the grading theory. However, during the slicing process, the cutter squeezes the large particles, which will cause the large particles to squeeze the current collector, causing the current collector to break due to extrusion deformation rather than cutting, resulting in a large number of large-sized burrs, such as Figure 2 As shown, the safety performance of the battery is affected. Lithium-containing transition metal oxides have high capacity and are the preferred material for high energy density batteries. However, they also have high hardness. The large particles in lithium-containing transition metal oxides will make the burr problem more significant while improving the battery energy density.
[0062] The battery cell positive electrode film provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a lithium-containing transition metal oxide, and the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer is greater than or equal to 16 μm to improve the energy density of the battery cell. At the same time, a primer layer with a particle size Dv99 less than or equal to 15 μm is provided between the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode current collector to buffer the squeezing of the large particles in the positive electrode film layer on the current collector during the slicing process, thereby reducing the probability of large-sized burrs being generated during the electrode sheet cutting process, such as Figure 3 As shown, the yield rate in the electrode cutting process is improved while maintaining the high energy density of the battery cell, meeting the performance and efficiency requirements.
[0063] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the particles in the primer layer is 0.4 μm-2.0 μm. In some embodiments, in some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the particles in the primer layer is 0.4 μm-1.5 μm.
[0064] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the particles in the base coating is 0.4 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.8 μm, 1.0 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, 2.0 μm, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0065] The base coating layer uses small particle materials with a particle size that meets the above range, which further buffers the extrusion of large particles in the positive electrode film layer on the current collector during slicing, reduces the probability of large-size burrs, and at the same time can improve the adhesion between the positive electrode current collector and the base coating layer, effectively preventing powder loss, aluminum leakage, etc. when the electrode sheets are cut, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0066] In some embodiments, the undercoat layer includes a lithium-containing transition metal phosphate, wherein the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate has a general formula including Li m Q q Fe x Py O j , wherein Q includes one or more of Al, Na, K, Mg, Cu, Mn, Cr, Zn, Pb, Ca, Co, Ni, Sr, Nb, V, Ti, B, S, Si, N, F, Cl, and Br, 0.6≤m≤1.15, 0≤x≤1, 0.95≤y≤1, 3.5≤j≤4, and 0≤q≤1.
[0067] In some embodiments, m can be 0.6, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1.00, 1.05, 1.10, 1.15, or any range between any two of the foregoing values. In some embodiments, x can be 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, or any range between any two of the foregoing values. In some embodiments, y can be 0.95, 0.96, 0.97, 0.98, 0.99, 1.00, or any range between any two of the foregoing values. In some embodiments, j can be 3.50, 3.55, 3.60, 3.65, 3.70, 3.75, 3.80, 3.85, 3.90, 3.95, 4.00, or any range between any two of the foregoing values. In some embodiments, q can be 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0068] Lithium-containing transition metal phosphates are generally polyanion active materials with an olivine structure. Compared with lithium-containing transition metal oxides, they have good thermodynamic thermal stability and can reduce high-temperature oxygen release. They also have lower particle hardness and smaller particle distribution. Using them as a base coating can not only alleviate the extrusion of the current collector and improve the burr phenomenon, but also improve the safety performance and service life of the battery cell.
[0069] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate includes Mn element.
[0070] Studies have shown that the voltage platform of conventional lithium iron phosphate materials is too low (~3.2V) compared to lithium-containing transition metal oxides, which lowers the voltage platform of the battery cell when the battery is working, making it difficult to fully utilize the gram capacity of lithium iron phosphate. Introducing the Mn element into lithium iron phosphate can effectively increase the voltage platform of lithium iron phosphate (~3.7V), adapting it to the voltage window of lithium-containing transition metal oxides in the positive electrode film layer, which is conducive to the utilization of the material's gram capacity, allowing the bottom coating to reduce the probability of burrs while reducing the negative impact on the battery's energy density.
[0071] In some embodiments, based on the total molar number of transition metal elements in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate, the molar ratio of the Mn element in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate is 10% to 70%, and can be optionally 30% to 50%.
[0072] In some embodiments, based on the total molar number of transition metal elements in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate, the molar ratio of the Mn element in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate is 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0073] Introducing Mn element into lithium iron phosphate, the active material of the bottom coating layer, can increase the voltage platform of the active material and adapt to the voltage platform window of lithium-containing transition metal oxides, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery cell; however, Mn ions have a large ionic radius, are prone to crystal structure distortion, and have poor stability, resulting in a decrease in cycle life. Therefore, controlling the molar proportion of the Mn element to meet the above range can improve the energy density of the battery while also improving the cycle life of the battery.
[0074] In some embodiments, the undercoat layer includes lithium manganese iron phosphate and one or more of its doped modified materials and coated modified materials, and the molar proportion of the Mn element is 10% to 70% based on the total molar number of the Mn element and the Fe element, and can be 30% to 50%. In some embodiments, the molar proportion of the Mn element is 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or any range between any two of the foregoing values based on the total molar number of the Mn element and the Fe element.
[0075] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing transition metal oxide includes nickel element, and the molar ratio of the nickel element in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide is 80%-96% based on the total molar number of transition metal in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide.
[0076] In some embodiments, based on the total molar number of transition metal in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide, the molar proportion of nickel in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide can be selected to be 80%, 82%, 84%, 86%, 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 96%, or any range between any two of the foregoing numerical ranges.
[0077] When used in this article, based on the total molar number of transition metals in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide, the molar proportion of nickel in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide can be determined by instruments and methods known in the art. As an example, it can be measured by the following method: take 0.5g of the material to be tested, soak it in 100 mL of aqua regia solution for digestion, the digestion temperature is 50°C, and then take the completely dissolved solution for inductively coupled plasma (ICP) testing to detect the content of transition metals (such as Ni, Co, Mn ions) in the solution, and divide the molar number of nickel elements by the total molar number of transition metal elements as the molar proportion of nickel elements in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide based on the total molar number of transition metals in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide.
[0078] Lithium-containing transition metal oxides with a molar proportion of 80%-96% nickel have high gram capacity, which is conducive to further improving the energy density of battery cells, but this will further increase the hardness of particles in the positive electrode film layer, increase the degree of compression of large particles in the positive electrode film layer on the current collector, and make it easy to produce large-sized burrs during the cutting process of the positive electrode sheet. The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is particularly suitable for the positive electrode sheet, which further improves the high energy density of the battery while improving the yield rate during the cutting process of the electrode sheet, meeting the performance and efficiency requirements.
[0079] In some embodiments, the volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer presents a bimodal distribution, and the peak position difference is greater than or equal to 3 μm and less than or equal to 8 μm.
[0080] In some embodiments, the volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer presents a bimodal distribution, and the peak position difference is 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, or any range between any two of the aforementioned values.
[0081] In some embodiments, in the volume distribution curve of particles in the positive electrode film layer, the double peaks are located at 1 μm-6 μm and 6 μm-14 μm, respectively.
[0082] In some embodiments, in the volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer, one of the double peaks is located at 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, or any range between any two of the aforementioned values; the other peak of the double peak is located at 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, or any range between any two of the aforementioned values.
[0083] The volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer can refer to GB / T19077-2016 and be detected using the test method described above. The volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer in one embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 5The volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer presents a bimodal distribution, indicating that the positive electrode film layer includes large particles and small particles of different sizes. Filling the gaps between large particles with small particles is beneficial to improving the compaction density of the electrode sheet, thereby further improving the energy density of the battery.
[0084] In some embodiments, the particles in the positive electrode film layer include polycrystalline particles of lithium-containing transition metal oxides and single crystal particles of lithium-containing transition metal oxides.
[0085] When used in this article, the term "polycrystalline particles" refers to agglomerates of single crystal particles. The agglomeration here is a hard agglomeration caused by chemical bonding of single crystal particles, which makes the polycrystalline particles have more clear grain boundaries and inconsistent atomic arrangement orientation. After cutting the cross section of the polycrystalline particles, it can be seen that the polycrystalline particles are formed by the agglomeration of many single crystal particles.
[0086] As used herein, the term "single crystal particle" refers to the smallest unit of a particle within a certain observation range. The interior of a single crystal particle may include defects of any form, but no smaller particles can be defined therein. It is understood that the single crystal particles described herein do not necessarily mean that there are no grain boundaries inside the single crystal, and that atoms, molecules or ions are continuously and consistently arranged in a three-dimensional space. Instead, it means that it is impossible to define smaller particles inside the single crystal through grain boundaries at a certain observation scale. The single crystal particles referred to herein refer to particles that exist in the pole piece in the form of single crystal particles, and do not include single crystal particles that constitute polycrystalline particles.
[0087] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the polycrystalline particles is 18 μm-30 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the polycrystalline particles is 20 μm-30 μm.

[0089] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the single crystal particles is 6 μm-15 μm.

[0090] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the single crystal particles is 1 μm-6 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the single crystal particles is 1 μm-4 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the single crystal particles is 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, 5.5 μm, 6 μm, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0091] The combination of polycrystalline particles and single crystal particles that meet the above-mentioned particle size range is beneficial to improving the particle grading, achieving close stacking of particles in the positive electrode film layer, and further increasing the compaction density of the electrode sheet, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery.
[0092] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the polycrystalline particles to the single crystal particles is 5:5-9:1. In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the polycrystalline particles to the single crystal particles is 6:4-8:2. In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the polycrystalline particles to the single crystal particles is 5:5, 6:4, 7:3, 8:2, 9:1, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0093] When used in this article, the mass ratio of polycrystalline particles and single crystal particles can be determined by the following method: take a prepared positive electrode sheet, or a positive electrode sheet disassembled from a battery, and perform a CP-SEM test. Randomly select a number of points for shooting, and the number of points is ≥10, which can be 10, 20, 50, 100, etc. The area ratio of the polycrystalline particles and single crystal particles in the captured image to the size of the positive electrode film layer is calculated, and the average value is obtained. The area ratio between polycrystalline particles and single crystal particles can be equivalent to the mass ratio of polycrystalline particles to single crystal particles.
[0094] Controlling the mass ratio of polycrystalline particles and single crystal particles to meet the above range is beneficial to improving the compaction density of the electrode, so that the battery has excellent energy density.
[0095] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing transition metal oxide includes Li a1 Ni x1 Co y1M1 z1 M2 w1 O 2-b1 , wherein M1 includes one or more of Mn and Al, and M2 includes one or more of Zr, B, Mg, Ti, W, Mo, Nb, Ta, Sr, Sb, and K; 0.8≤a1≤1.2, 0≤x1≤1, 0≤y1≤1, 0≤z1≤1, 0≤w1≤0.1, and -0.1≤b1≤0.1.
[0096] In some embodiments, a1 can be 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1.0, 1.05, 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.

In some embodiments, z1 can be 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, or any range between any two of the foregoing values. In some embodiments, w1 can be 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1, or any range between any two of the foregoing values. In some embodiments, b1 can be -0.1, -0.05, 0, 0.05, 0.1, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0097] When the positive electrode film layer includes the above-mentioned type of lithium-containing transition metal oxide, the gram capacity of the positive electrode active material can be further increased, thereby further improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0098] In some embodiments, the thickness of the primer layer on one side is 5 μm-15 μm, and can be 10 μm-15 μm. In some embodiments, the thickness of the primer layer on one side is 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0099] The thickness of the primer layer on one side can be observed and measured by scanning electron microscopy on the cross section of the positive electrode sheet.
[0100] When the thickness of the bottom coating on one side is within the above range, it can reduce the contact between large particles of the positive electrode active material and the current collector, reduce the probability of large-sized burrs on the pole piece during cutting, and further improve the safety performance of the battery cell; at the same time, it can reduce the deterioration of pole piece compression and battery capacity loss caused by adding the bottom coating, so that the battery cell still has a high energy density.
[0101] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer on one side is 20 μm-70 μm. In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer on one side is 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, 55 μm, 60 μm, 65 μm, 70 μm, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0102] The thinning of the positive electrode film layer is conducive to reducing the diffusion path of lithium ions and improving the dynamic performance of battery cells; however, with the thinning of the positive electrode film layer, in order to make the battery have a high energy density, the compaction density of the pole piece is further increased, which makes the current collector more severely squeezed by large particles during slicing, and the probability of burrs is higher. At the same time, with the thinning of the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode sheet, the burr control level of large-size specifications is tightened simultaneously, and the burrs are more likely to protrude from the edge of the positive electrode film layer, exacerbating the safety hazards of the burr problem.
[0103] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 5 μm-20 μm. In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 7 μm-15 μm. In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 5 μm, 7 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0104] The positive electrode current collector does not contribute to the capacity of the battery, and its thinning is conducive to making room for the positive electrode active material and improving the energy density of the battery cell. However, the thinning of the positive electrode current collector reduces its ability to withstand large particle extrusion during the slitting process, and the burr phenomenon is more serious. The thickness of the positive electrode current collector within the above range is conducive to improving the yield rate during the electrode cutting process while maintaining the high energy density of the battery cell, meeting the performance and efficiency requirements.
[0105] In some embodiments, the cold pressed density of the positive electrode plate is 3.1 g / cm 3 -3.8g / cm 3 In some embodiments, the cold pressed density of the positive electrode plate is 3.1 g / cm 3 、3.2g / cm 3 、3.3g / cm 3 、3.4g / cm 3 , 3.5g / cm3 、3.6g / cm 3 、3.7g / cm 3 、3.8g / cm 3 , or any range between any two of the aforementioned values.
[0106] When used herein, the cold pressed compaction density of the positive electrode sheet can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. As an example, the following method can be used for testing: take a positive electrode sheet prepared after cold pressing, use an electronic balance to weigh the electrode sheet test sample with an area of S, and record the weight as W, and then measure the thickness T of the electrode sheet (it can be measured using instruments that can measure the thickness of the electrode sheet in the art, including but not limited to instruments such as micrometers), and after the positive electrode sheet is cold pressed, the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet can be calculated by the formula W / (T×S).
[0107] In some embodiments, when the battery cell is fully charged, the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet is 3.4 g / cm 3 -3.7g / cm 3 In some embodiments, when the battery cell is fully charged, the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet is 3.4 g / cm 3 、3.45g / cm 3 , 3.5g / cm 3 、3.55g / cm 3 、3.6g / cm 3 、3.65g / cm 3 、3.7g / cm 3 , or any range between any two of the aforementioned values.
[0108] When used in this article, when the battery cell is fully discharged, the compaction density of the positive electrode plate can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. As an example, the following method can be used for testing: place the battery cell at 25°C and let it stand for 2h. When the battery temperature is maintained at 25°C, discharge the battery at a constant current of 1 / 3C to 2.8V and then let it stand for 30min. Discharge it at a constant current of 0.04C to 2.8V, disassemble the fully discharged plate, clean the residual electrolyte with an organic solvent (the organic solvent can be a conventional solvent in the art that can clean the electrolyte, including but not limited to dimethyl carbonate, etc.), remove the residual electrolyte and dry the plate, and then use the aforementioned positive electrode plate compaction density measurement method to measure the compaction density of the positive electrode plate of the battery cell after full discharge.
[0109] The compaction density of the positive electrode sheet within the above range is beneficial to maintaining the high energy density of the battery cell while improving the yield rate in the electrode sheet cutting process, thereby meeting the performance and efficiency requirements.

[0111] The bonding strength between the primer layer and the positive electrode current collector within the above range is beneficial to improving the aluminum leakage of the pole piece and improving the cycle life of the battery.
[0112] In some embodiments, the thermal decomposition temperature of the positive electrode plate is 225° C.-255° C.

In some embodiments, the thermal decomposition temperature of the positive electrode plate is 225° C., 230° C., 235° C., 240° C., 245° C., 250° C., 255° C., or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0113] In some embodiments, after the positive electrode sheet is cut at a cutting speed of 0.5 m / s to obtain 2000 sheets, the proportion of positive electrode sheets with burrs is 0%-0.05%. In some embodiments, the proportion of positive electrode sheets with burrs is 0%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.
[0114] As used herein, a positive electrode sheet with burrs refers to a positive electrode sheet after slitting, and the size of the burrs on the sheet is calibrated. Burrs with a size greater than or equal to 40% of the thickness of the positive electrode sheet are included in the statistical range and calibrated as positive electrode sheets with burrs. The proportion of positive electrode sheets with burrs can be tested by methods known in the art. As an example, the following method can be used for testing: using the burr size measurement method as described above to observe a certain number of slit sheets through CCD, counting the frequency K1 of the sheets with burrs, and calculating the proportion of the sheets with burrs as K1 / total number of sheets × 100%.
[0115] As used herein, the term "burr size" refers to the absolute length of the burr (not limited to the vertical distance).
