[0055] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the technical solution of the present application. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, and are therefore only used as examples, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0058] 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.
[0059] If there is no special explanation, all steps of the present application can be performed sequentially or randomly, preferably sequentially. For example, the method includes steps (a) and (b), which means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed sequentially, or may include steps (b) and (a) performed sequentially. For example, the method may further include step (c), which means that step (c) may be added to the method in any order. For example, the method may include steps (a), (b) and (c), or may include steps (a), (c) and (b), or may include steps (c), (a) and (b), etc.
[0060] At present, judging from the development of the market situation, batteries are being used more and more widely. They can be used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations. However, the energy storage batteries in related technologies cannot meet the requirements of long life and high safety at the same time.
[0061] The present application aims to develop a battery cell with both high energy density and long life. The battery cell of the present application is developed by comprehensively controlling the relative contents of iron and phosphorus in the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode active material in the electrode, and the relative contents of phosphorus and transition metal M in the lithium supplement region, and matching a suitable electrolyte formula, to develop a battery cell with high energy density and long life.
[0062] The molar ratio of phosphorus to iron in the lithium iron phosphate region of the positive electrode of the present application is 0.5-1.5. On the one hand, the proportion of lithium phosphate impurities contained in lithium iron phosphate is reduced to increase the capacity of the battery cell; on the other hand, the content of phosphate is increased, the structural stability of the positive electrode active material is improved, and the cycle life of the battery cell is improved. In order to further improve the cycle life and energy density of the battery, a lithium supplement is introduced into the positive electrode, and the cycle life and energy density of the battery cell are improved by controlling the relative content of phosphorus and transition metal M elements. However, after the lithium supplement is introduced into the positive electrode, the formation voltage required for the lithium supplement to take effect is high, so it is easy to cause the electrolyte additive to decompose prematurely and cannot continue to act on the later long cycle process. Therefore, in order to reduce the probability of electrolyte decomposition caused by the high voltage in the formation stage, the present application introduces phosphorus-containing additives, fluorine-containing additives, sulfur-containing additives and other additives into the electrolyte, and takes advantage of the higher HOMO energy level of the additives to improve the stability of the electrolyte at high voltage, reduce the risk of electrolyte redox decomposition, and improve the cycle life of the battery. In addition, the elements contained in the lithium supplement material can also participate in the formation of SEI film components, optimize the SEI film impedance, and benefit the battery cycle performance.
[0063] The battery cell proposed in this application can be used in electrical equipment that uses the battery cell as a power source or various energy storage systems that use the battery cell as an energy storage element. Electrical equipment may include, but is not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, electric toys, electric tools, battery cars, electric cars, ships, spacecraft, etc. Among them, electric toys may include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys, and electric airplane toys, etc., and spacecraft may include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft, etc.
[0064] A first aspect of the present application provides a battery cell, which includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and an electrolyte.
[0065] The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer located on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode film layer includes a plurality of first regions and a plurality of second regions; the first region includes a positive electrode active material, the first region includes iron element and phosphorus element, and the molar ratio of the phosphorus element to the iron element is 0.5-1.5; the second region includes a lithium supplement, the second region includes the phosphorus element and a transition metal M, the transition metal M includes one or more of Ni element, Co element, V element, Cr element, Mn element, Fe element, Mo element, Cu element, and Zn element, the molar ratio of the phosphorus element to the transition metal M is a, and satisfies 0≤a≤0.2.
[0066] The negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer located on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector.
[0067] The electrolyte includes additives, and the additives include one or more of phosphorus-containing additives, fluorine-containing additives, and sulfur-containing additives. Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the sum of the masses of the phosphorus-containing additives, the fluorine-containing additives, and the sulfur-containing additives accounts for 0.2%-2.1%.
[0068] Thus, while reducing the probability of generating lithium phosphate and increasing the capacity of the battery cell, the content of phosphate is increased, the structural stability of the positive electrode active material is improved, and the cycle life of the battery cell is improved. By setting a lithium supplement on the positive electrode plate, the decomposition of the lithium supplement in the formation stage can make up for the lithium ions consumed in forming the SEI film, thereby improving the initial efficiency and energy density of the battery. In order to reduce the probability of electrolyte decomposition caused by high pressure in the formation stage, the electrolyte includes one or more of phosphorus-containing additives, fluorine-containing additives, and sulfur-containing additives. Under high pressure conditions, the above-mentioned types of additives can preferentially decompose to form stable CEI films and SEI films, reduce the contact between the electrolyte and the positive and negative electrode surfaces, reduce the risk of oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte, improve the stability of the electrolyte under high pressure conditions, and improve the cycle life of the battery.
[0069] In the present application, the area where the positive electrode active material is located is the first area, and the area where the lithium supplement is located is the second area, and the first area and the second area are evenly distributed on the positive electrode plate. Since the particle size and P element content of the positive electrode active material and the lithium supplement are significantly different: the average particle size of the positive electrode active material is about 1μm, and the longest diameter of a single particle of the lithium supplement is greater than 5μm; the P element content in the positive electrode active material is greater than 20%, and the P element content in the lithium supplement is less than 0.5%. Therefore, the first area and the second area can be distinguished by combining the particle size and the P element content. Specifically, the first area where the positive electrode active material is located has a smaller average particle size and a higher P element content, and the second area where the lithium supplement is located has a larger longest diameter and a lower P element content.
[0070] As an example, the molar ratio of the phosphorus element to the iron element in the first region may be 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.3 or 1.5, or may be a range of any of the above values. By making the molar ratio of the phosphorus element to the iron element within the above range, on the one hand, the risk of generating lithium phosphate due to excessive phosphorus content, thereby reducing the capacity of the battery cell, is reduced; on the other hand, the risk of low phosphate content due to low phosphorus content is reduced, the structural stability of the positive electrode active material is improved, and the cycle life of the battery cell is improved.
[0071] As an example, the value of a can be 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 or 0.2, etc., or can be a range of any of the above values. When a is 0, the second region does not include phosphorus, which can increase the theoretical specific capacity of the battery cell; when 0<a≤0.2, the diffusion rate of lithium ions can be increased, and the lithium replenishment efficiency can be improved. By setting 0≤a≤0.2, while increasing the theoretical specific capacity of the battery cell, the impact on the release rate of lithium ions is reduced.
[0072] In the present application, the method for identifying the types and contents of P element, Fe element and M element is: using plasma to cut the positive electrode sheet along its thickness direction to obtain the cross-section of the positive electrode sheet, and using an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) to test the particles at different positions of the cross-section to obtain the contents of different types of elements.
[0073] In the present application, the type and content of electrolyte additives can be tested with reference to GB / T 9722-2006 Chemical Reagent Gas Chromatography. Specifically, a certain amount of electrolyte is tested using a gas chromatograph, and the different adsorption and desorption capacities of the components of the electrolyte in the chromatographic column are utilized to separate the components of the electrolyte, and the separated samples are tested using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS).
[0074]
Positive electrode
[0075] According to some embodiments of the present application, the positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate, and the longest diameter of the lithium iron phosphate is smaller than the shortest diameter of the lithium supplement. Thus, by reducing the particle size of lithium iron phosphate and increasing the particle size of the lithium supplement, the efficiency of lithium extraction and extraction of the positive electrode active material is improved, the specific surface area of the lithium supplement is reduced, the contact between the lithium supplement and the electrolyte is reduced, the side reaction between the lithium supplement and the electrolyte is reduced, the stability of the electrolyte is improved, and the life of the battery cell is improved.
[0076] The longest diameter and shortest diameter of the lithium iron phosphate particles or lithium supplement particles of the present application are defined as follows:
[0077] The positive electrode sheet including lithium iron phosphate particles and lithium supplement particles is cut along the thickness direction of the sheet to expose the longitudinal section of the positive electrode film layer. The longest diameter of the lithium iron phosphate particles and the shortest diameter of the lithium supplement particles are determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) testing of the longitudinal section of the positive electrode film layer. Specifically, the longest diameter of the lithium iron phosphate particles refers to the longest straight line passing through the center point of the lithium iron phosphate particles and extending to the periphery of the particles, and the shortest diameter of the lithium supplement refers to the shortest straight line passing through the center point of the lithium supplement and extending to the periphery of the lithium supplement.
[0078] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a SEM image of a longitudinal section of a positive electrode sheet including lithium iron phosphate particles 6 and lithium supplement particles 7. The image shows that the shortest diameter of the lithium supplement particle 7 is larger than the longest diameter of the lithium iron phosphate particle 6 within the field of view, and the size of the lithium supplement particle 7 is larger than the size of the lithium iron phosphate particle 6.
[0079] According to some embodiments of the present application, the particle size distribution of the lithium iron phosphate is unimodal, and the particle size distribution span value is 1.5-1.7, thereby improving the kinetics of lithium insertion and extraction.
[0080] The present application provides a method for testing the particle size distribution of lithium iron phosphate: after taking the positive electrode sheet and scraping the powder, the powder is dispersed with N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), and then the particle size distribution is tested with a laser particle size analyzer (DLS).
[0081] According to some embodiments of the present application, the ratio of the longest diameter of the lithium supplement agent to the shortest diameter of the lithium supplement agent can be 1.2-2.5. For example, it can be 1.2, 1.5, 1.7, 2, 2.3 or 2.5, or can be a range composed of any of the above values. In this way, the lithium removal efficiency is improved, and at the same time, the risk of the lithium supplement agent being fractured during the rolling process is reduced.
[0082] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium supplement comprises Li x M y O z , where 1≤x≤5, 1≤y≤3, 2≤z≤8. Therefore, the decomposition of the lithium supplement can make up for the active lithium ions consumed in forming the SEI film, thereby improving the initial efficiency and energy density of the battery cell.
[0083] As an example, x may be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, etc., or may be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0084] As an example, y may be 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 or 3, etc., or may be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0085] As an example, z may be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8, etc., or may be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0086] According to some embodiments of the present application, the lithium supplement agent includes one or both of Li2NiO2 and Li5FeO4, thereby improving the lithium supplement effect.
[0087] According to some embodiments of the present application, when the lithium in the lithium supplement is completely or partially removed, the lithium supplement includes Li n NiO m and Li e FeO f One or two of the following, wherein 0<m≤2, 0≤n≤2, 0≤e≤5, 0<f≤4.
[0088] As an example, m may be 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2, etc., or may be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0089] As an example, n may be 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2, etc., or may be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0090] As an example, e can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0091] As an example, f may be 1, 2, 3 or 4, etc., or may be a range consisting of any of the above values.

[0093] As an example, m may be 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2, etc., or may be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0094] As an example, p may be 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 or 1, etc., or may be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0095] As an example, q may be 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2, etc., or may be a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0096] According to some embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer can be 2.2 g / cm 3 -2.6g / cm 3 , for example, can be 2.2 g / cm 3 , 2.3g / cm 3 , 2.4g / cm 3 , 2.5g / cm 3 or 2.6g / cm 3 etc., or can be any range of the above values. Thus, the energy density of the battery cell is improved. According to some specific embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet can be 2.4 g / cm 3 -2.5g / cm 3 .
[0097] In this application, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is measured by measuring the mass of the positive electrode film layer per unit area (g / cm 2) and the thickness (cm) of the positive electrode film layer per unit area. Specifically, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer = (the mass of the positive electrode sheet per unit area - the mass of the positive electrode current collector per unit area) / ( / the thickness of the positive electrode sheet - the thickness of the positive electrode current collector).
