Description

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 systems such as hydropower, thermal, wind, and solar power plants, as well as in power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace, and other fields. However, the market's pursuit of superior electrical performance in battery cells has increased the difficulty of processing them, leading to a decrease in yield. This has resulted in battery safety and service life failing to meet expectations, limiting further applications. Striking a balance between these two issues has become a pressing challenge 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, which includes a positive electrode plate, the positive electrode plate including a positive electrode collector, a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one side of the positive electrode collector, and a primer layer arranged between the positive electrode collector and the positive electrode film layer on at least one side, the positive electrode film layer including a positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active material including 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 primer layer is less than or equal to 15μm, and can be optionally 5μm-15μm.

[0005] The battery cell positive electrode film layer 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 provided between the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode current collector. This buffers the squeezing of the current collector by large particles in the positive electrode film layer during slicing, reduces the probability of large-sized burrs being generated during the electrode cutting process, and improves the yield rate during the electrode cutting process while maintaining the high energy density of the battery cell, thereby meeting performance and efficiency requirements.

[0006] In any embodiment, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the particles in the primer 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 improves the adhesion between the positive electrode current collector and the base coating layer, effectively preventing powder loss, aluminum leakage, etc. when the electrode is 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 polyanionic 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 alleviate collector extrusion, improve burr phenomena, and improve the safety performance and service life of battery cells.

[0010] In any embodiment, the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate includes a Mn element. Based on the total molar number of transition metal elements in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate, the molar proportion of the Mn element in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate is 10% to 70%, and can be optionally 30% to 50%.

[0011] Research has shown that conventional lithium iron phosphate materials have a voltage platform that is too low (~3.2V) compared to lithium-containing transition metal oxides. This lowers the voltage platform of the battery cell during operation, making it difficult to fully utilize the specific capacity of lithium iron phosphate. Introducing the element manganese into lithium iron phosphate can effectively increase the voltage platform of lithium iron phosphate (~3.7V), matching it with the voltage window of the lithium-containing transition metal oxide in the positive electrode film. This helps maximize the specific capacity of the material and allows the undercoat layer to reduce the probability of burrs while also minimizing the negative impact on battery energy density.

[0012] In any embodiment, the undercoat 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 the Mn element into the lithium iron phosphate active material of the bottom coating can increase the voltage platform of the active material and adapt to the voltage platform window of the lithium-containing transition metal oxide, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell; however, the Mn ion has a large ionic radius, is prone to crystal structure distortion, and has 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, and the molar ratio of nickel in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide is 80%-96% based on the total moles of transition metals in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide.

[0015] Lithium-containing transition metal oxides with a molar percentage of 80%-96% nickel have high gram capacity, which is beneficial for further improving the energy density of battery cells. However, this also increases the hardness of the particles in the positive electrode film, exacerbating the compression of large particles on the current collector, making it easy to generate large burrs during the slitting of the positive electrode sheets. The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are particularly suitable for such positive electrode sheets, further improving the high energy density of the battery while increasing the yield rate during the sheet cutting process, meeting 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 the particles in the positive electrode film layer, the bimodal 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, 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, optionally 20 μm-30 μm; and / or the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the polycrystalline particles is 6 μm-14 μm, optionally 6 μm-12 μm.

[0021] In any embodiment, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the single crystal particles is 6 μm-15 μm, optionally 6 μm-13 μm; and / or the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the single crystal particles is 1 μm-6 μm, optionally 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, 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 to 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 includes 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 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 optionally 10-15 μm.

[0028] When the thickness of the single-sided primer coating 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 electrode during cutting, and further improve the safety performance of the battery cell; at the same time, it can reduce the deterioration of the electrode compaction and battery capacity loss caused by the addition of the primer 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] Reducing the thickness of the positive electrode film helps reduce the diffusion path of lithium ions and improve the dynamic performance of battery cells. However, as the thickness of the positive electrode film decreases, the compaction density of the electrode sheet is further increased to achieve high energy density. This increases the pressure on the current collector from large particles during slicing, increasing the probability of burrs. Furthermore, as the thickness of the positive electrode film and the electrode sheet decreases, the control of burrs on large-sized products becomes increasingly stringent, making burrs more likely to protrude from the edge of the positive electrode film, exacerbating the safety risks posed by burrs.

[0031] In any embodiment, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 5 μm-20 μm, and optionally 7 μm-15 μm.

[0032] The positive electrode current collector does not contribute to battery capacity, so reducing its thickness helps free up space for the positive electrode active material, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery cell. However, this thinning reduces its ability to withstand large particle extrusion during the slitting process, exacerbating burring. Maintaining the positive electrode current collector thickness within the above range helps improve the yield rate during the electrode sheet cutting process while maintaining high battery cell energy density, thereby meeting 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 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 optionally 5 N / m-50 N / m.

[0036] The bonding strength between the primer layer and the positive electrode current collector being within the above range is beneficial to improving the phenomenon of aluminum leakage from the electrode 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.

[0058] Below, the embodiments of the battery cells, battery devices, and electrical devices of the present application are described in detail with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings. However, unnecessary detailed descriptions may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of well-known matters and repeated descriptions of substantially the same structures may be omitted.

The scope limited in this way can be to include end value or not include end value, and can be arbitrarily combined, that is, any lower limit can form a range with any upper limit combination. For example, if the scope of 60-120 and 80-110 is listed for specific parameters, it is understood that the scope of 60-110 and 80-120 is also expected. In addition, if the minimum range value 1 and 2 are listed, and if the maximum range value 3,4 and 5 are listed, then the following range can all be expected: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5.

For example, a numerical range of "0-5" indicates that all real numbers between "0-5" are listed herein, and "0-5" is simply an abbreviation for these numerical combinations.

[0060] Unless otherwise specified, all embodiments and optional embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0061] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and optional technical features of this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0065] As the market demands for the endurance of electrical devices increase, increasing the volumetric energy density of battery cells has become a common pursuit in the industry. Increasing the volumetric energy density of battery cells often requires increasing the compaction density of the pole pieces to increase the load of active material per unit volume. However, researchers have found that pole pieces with high compaction density are prone to large burrs during the cutting process. Pole pieces with large burrs can easily penetrate the diaphragm after assembly of the electrode assembly, causing abnormal self-discharge of the battery cell, and even leading to 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.

[0066] Based on the above problems, the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a battery cell. Figure 1As 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.

[0067] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer is greater than or equal to 16 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer is 16 μm-26 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv90 of the particles in the positive electrode film layer can be selected as 16 μm, 17 μm, 18 μm, 19 μm, 20 μm, 21 μm, 22 μm, 23 μm, 24 μm, 25 μm, 26 μm, 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.

[0068] 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 between 5 μm and 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.

[0069] As 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.

[0070] 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 field. 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).

[0071] 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 measured by any method known in the art. As an example, powder can be scraped from the positive electrode film layer or the undercoat layer and measured using the method described above.

[0072] Lithium-containing transition metal oxides are an important class of positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. They are 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.

[0073] 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 gradation 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 be squeezed and deformed instead of cut off, resulting in a large number of large-sized burrs, such as Figure 2 As shown, this affects the safety performance of the battery. 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, while improving the battery energy density, also make the burr problem more significant.

[0074] 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 cutting process, such as Figure 3 As shown, while maintaining the high energy density of the battery cell, the yield rate in the electrode cutting process is improved to meet the performance and efficiency requirements.

[0075] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the particles in the primer layer is 0.4 μm to 2.0 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the particles in the primer layer is 0.4 μm to 1.5 μm.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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 improves the adhesion between the positive electrode current collector and the base coating layer, effectively preventing powder loss, aluminum leakage, etc. when the electrode is cut, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0078] In some embodiments, the undercoat layer comprises a lithium-containing transition metal phosphate having a general formula comprising 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] Lithium-containing transition metal phosphates are generally polyanionic 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 alleviate collector extrusion, improve burr phenomena, and improve the safety performance and service life of battery cells.

[0081] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate includes Mn element.

[0082] Research has shown that conventional lithium iron phosphate materials have a voltage platform that is too low (~3.2V) compared to lithium-containing transition metal oxides. This lowers the voltage platform of the battery cell during operation, making it difficult to fully utilize the specific capacity of lithium iron phosphate. Introducing the element manganese into lithium iron phosphate can effectively increase the voltage platform of lithium iron phosphate (~3.7V), matching it with the voltage window of the lithium-containing transition metal oxide in the positive electrode film. This helps maximize the specific capacity of the material and allows the undercoat layer to reduce the probability of burrs while also minimizing the negative impact on battery energy density.

[0083] In some embodiments, based on the total molar number of transition metal elements in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate, the molar proportion of the Mn element in the lithium-containing transition metal phosphate is 10% to 70%, and can be optionally 30% to 50%.

[0084] 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.

[0085] Introducing the Mn element into the lithium iron phosphate active material of the bottom coating can increase the voltage platform of the active material and adapt to the voltage platform window of the lithium-containing transition metal oxide, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell; however, the Mn ion has a large ionic radius, is prone to crystal structure distortion, and has 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.

[0086] In some embodiments, the undercoat layer includes lithium manganese iron phosphate and one or more of its doping and coating modification materials, and the molar ratio of the Mn element, based on the total molar ratio of the Mn element and the Fe element, is 10% to 70%, and optionally 30% to 50%. In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the Mn element, based on the total molar ratio of the Mn element and the Fe element, is 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.

[0087] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing transition metal oxide includes nickel, and the molar ratio of nickel in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide is 80%-96% based on the total moles of transition metals in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide.

[0088] 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 as 80%, 82%, 84%, 86%, 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 96%, or any range between any two of the foregoing numerical ranges.

[0089] As used herein, the molar fraction of nickel in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide can be determined by instruments and methods known in the art based on the total molar fraction of transition metals in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide. As an example, the following method can be used for measurement: 0.5 g of the material to be tested is immersed in 100 mL of aqua regia solution for digestion at a digestion temperature of 50° C., and then the completely dissolved solution is subjected to inductively coupled plasma (ICP) testing to detect the content of transition metals (such as Ni, Co, Mn ions) in the solution. The molar fraction of nickel in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide is calculated by dividing the molar fraction of nickel by the total molar fraction of transition metals based on the total molar fraction of transition metals in the lithium-containing transition metal oxide.

[0090] Lithium-containing transition metal oxides with a molar percentage of 80%-96% nickel have high gram capacity, which is beneficial for further improving the energy density of battery cells. However, this also increases the hardness of the particles in the positive electrode film, exacerbating the compression of large particles on the current collector, making it easy to generate large burrs during the slitting of the positive electrode sheets. The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are particularly suitable for such positive electrode sheets, further improving the high energy density of the battery while increasing the yield rate during the sheet cutting process, meeting performance and efficiency requirements.

[0091] 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.

[0092] 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.

[0093] In some embodiments, in the volume distribution curve of particles in the positive electrode film layer, the bimodal peaks are located at 1 μm-6 μm and 6 μm-14 μm, respectively.

[0094] In some embodiments, in the volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer, one of the peak positions in the bimodal peak position 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 position in the bimodal peak position 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.

[0095] The volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer can refer to GB / T19077-2016 and be tested 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 5 The volume distribution curve of the particles in the positive electrode film layer shows a bimodal distribution, indicating that the positive electrode film layer contains 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.

[0096] In some embodiments, 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.

[0097] 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 orientations. 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.

[0098] 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 it is impossible to define smaller particles within it. It is understood that the single crystal particles described herein do not necessarily mean that there are no grain boundaries within the single crystal, and that it is a continuous and consistent periodic arrangement of atoms, molecules or ions in three-dimensional space. Instead, it refers to the inability to define smaller particles within the single crystal through grain boundaries at a certain observation scale. The single crystal particles referred to herein are 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.

[0099] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the polycrystalline particles is between 18 μm and 30 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the polycrystalline particles is between 20 μm and 30 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the polycrystalline particles is between 18 μm, 19 μm, 20 μm, 21 μm, 22 μm, 23 μm, 24 μm, 25 μm, 26 μm, 27 μm, 28 μm, 29 μm, 30 μm, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.

[0100] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the polycrystalline particles is 6 μm to 14 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the polycrystalline particles is 6 μm to 12 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the polycrystalline particles is 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 foregoing values.

[0101] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the single crystal particles is 6 μm to 15 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the single crystal particles is 6 μm to 13 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv99 of the single crystal particles is 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.

[0102] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the single crystal particles is 1 μm to 6 μm. In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the single crystal particles is 1 μm to 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.

[0103] 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, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery.

[0104] 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.

[0105] 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 CP-SEM testing. 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.

[0106] Controlling the mass ratio of polycrystalline particles to 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.

[0107] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing transition metal oxide includes 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.

[0108] 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, x1 can be 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1.0, or any range between any two of the foregoing values. In some embodiments, y1 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, 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.

[0109] When the positive electrode film layer includes the above-mentioned 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.

[0110] In some embodiments, the thickness of the primer layer on one side is 5 μm-15 μm, optionally 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.

[0111] The thickness of the primer layer on one side can be measured by observing and measuring the cross section of the positive electrode sheet using a scanning electron microscope.

[0112] When the thickness of the single-sided primer coating 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 electrode during cutting, and further improve the safety performance of the battery cell; at the same time, it can reduce the deterioration of the electrode compaction and battery capacity loss caused by the addition of the primer coating, so that the battery cell still has a high energy density.

[0113] 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.

[0114] Reducing the thickness of the positive electrode film helps reduce the diffusion path of lithium ions and improve the dynamic performance of battery cells. However, as the thickness of the positive electrode film decreases, the compaction density of the electrode sheet is further increased to achieve high energy density. This increases the pressure on the current collector from large particles during slicing, increasing the probability of burrs. Furthermore, as the thickness of the positive electrode film and the electrode sheet decreases, the control of burrs on large-sized products becomes increasingly stringent, making burrs more likely to protrude from the edge of the positive electrode film, exacerbating the safety risks posed by burrs.

[0115] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 5 μm to 20 μm. In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 7 μm to 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.

[0116] The positive electrode current collector does not contribute to battery capacity, so reducing its thickness helps free up space for the positive electrode active material, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery cell. However, this thinning reduces its ability to withstand large particle extrusion during the slitting process, exacerbating burring. Maintaining the positive electrode current collector thickness within the above range helps improve the yield rate during the electrode sheet cutting process while maintaining high battery cell energy density, thereby meeting performance and efficiency requirements.

[0117] In some embodiments, the cold pressed density of the positive electrode is 3.1 g / cm 3 -3.8g / cm 3 In some embodiments, the cold pressed density of the positive electrode is 3.1 g / cm 3 、3.2g / cm 3 , 3.3g / cm 3 、3.4g / cm 3 , 3.5g / cm 3 、3.6g / cm 3 、3.7g / cm 3 、3.8g / cm 3 , or any range between any two of the above values.

[0118] As used herein, the cold-pressed compaction density of the positive electrode sheet can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, the following method can be used for testing: Take a positive electrode sheet prepared after cold pressing, use an electronic balance to weigh a sample of the sheet with an area of ​​S, and record the weight as W. Then, measure the thickness T of the sheet (which can be measured using a conventional instrument in the art capable of measuring the thickness of a sheet, including but not limited to a micrometer). After the positive electrode sheet is cold pressed, the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet can be calculated using the formula W / (T×S).

[0119] 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 above values.

[0120] As used herein, when the battery cell is fully discharged, the compacted 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 2 hours. After the battery temperature is maintained at 25°C, discharge the battery at a constant current of 1 / 3C to 2.8V, let it stand for 30 minutes, and then 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 then dry the plate. Then, use the aforementioned positive electrode plate compacted density measurement method to measure the compacted density of the positive electrode plate of the battery cell after full discharge.

[0121] 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 performance and efficiency requirements.

[0122] In some embodiments, the bonding strength between the primer layer and the positive electrode current collector is 5 N / m-75 N / m. In some embodiments, the bonding strength between the primer layer and the positive electrode current collector is 5 N / m-50 N / m. In some embodiments, the bonding strength between the primer layer and the positive electrode current collector is 5 N / m, 10 N / m, 15 N / m, 20 N / m, 25 N / m, 30 N / m, 35 N / m, 40 N / m, 45 N / m, 50 N / m, 55 N / m, 60 N / m, 65 N / m, 70 N / m, 75 N / m, or any range between any two of the foregoing values.

[0123] The bonding strength between the primer layer and the positive electrode current collector being within the above range is beneficial to improving the phenomenon of aluminum leakage from the electrode piece and improving the cycle life of the battery.

[0124] In some embodiments, the thermal decomposition temperature of the positive electrode plate is 225° C. to 255° C. In some embodiments, the thermal decomposition temperature of the positive electrode plate is 227° C. to 250° 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.

[0125] In some embodiments, after the positive electrode sheets are 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.

[0126] As used herein, a positive electrode sheet with burrs refers to a sheet of positive electrode sheet that has been slit, 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 are calibrated as positive electrode sheets with burrs. The proportion of positive electrode sheets with burrs can be tested using methods known in the art. As an example, the following method can be used to test: a certain number of slit electrode sheets are observed through a CCD using the burr size measurement method described above, and the frequency K1 of electrode sheets with burrs is counted. The proportion of electrode sheets with burrs is calculated as K1 / total number of electrode sheets × 100%.

[0127] As used herein, the term "burr size" refers to the absolute length of the burr (not limited to the vertical distance). The burr size can be tested using instruments and methods known in the art.

[0135] In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, copper foil may be used as the metal foil. The composite current collector may include a polymer substrate and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer substrate. The composite current collector may be formed by forming a metal material (copper, copper alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver, and silver alloy) on a polymer substrate (such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).
