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, as the application scope of batteries has become more and more extensive, batteries are 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 batteries have made great progress, higher requirements have been put forward for their energy density, cycle performance, etc. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present application is made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a battery cell, a battery device and an electric device. The energy density, cycle performance and power performance of the battery cell of the present application are improved at the same time.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first aspect of the present application provides a battery cell, including an electrode assembly, wherein the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a non-aqueous electrolyte; the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode collector and a positive electrode film layer located on at least one side of the positive electrode collector, and the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode collector and a negative electrode film layer located on at least one side of the negative electrode collector; wherein,
[0005] The positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material includes a lithium iron phosphate material and a nickel cobalt manganese oxide lithium material; in the positive electrode active material, the molar proportion of Ni element in the sum of the three elements of Ni, Co and Mn is 0.5-0.95;
[0006] The non-aqueous electrolyte includes vinylene carbonate, and the mass content of the vinylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 0.5%-2%;
[0007] The non-aqueous electrolyte includes at least one of a linear carbonate and a linear carboxylate, and the conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte is 9-14 mS / cm.
[0008] Therefore, the non-aqueous electrolyte of the present application includes a certain amount of vinylene carbonate, which is conducive to forming a stable component on the surface of the negative electrode to improve the stability of the negative electrode SEI film and can reduce the SEI film impedance; at the same time, the conductivity of the electrolyte is within a certain range, which is conducive to compensating for the power loss caused by the increase in SEI film impedance, and is also conducive to compensating for the power loss caused by the mixing of lithium iron phosphate materials, and is also conducive to reducing the negative impact of excessive conductivity on high-temperature cycle performance, ensuring that the battery has a high energy density while improving the battery's cycle performance and power performance.
[0009] In any embodiment, the non-aqueous electrolyte includes a linear carbonate, the linear carbonate includes dimethyl carbonate, and the mass content of the dimethyl carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 4%-20% or 8%-16%. Thus, adjusting the conductivity of the electrolyte by a certain amount of dimethyl carbonate is conducive to improving the power performance of the battery while ensuring the high temperature cycle performance of the battery.
[0010] In any embodiment, the non-aqueous electrolyte includes a linear carboxylic acid ester, and the mass content of the linear carboxylic acid ester in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 5%-25%.
[0011] In any embodiment, the linear carboxylic acid ester includes at least one of methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl formate, and ethyl acetate.
[0012] Therefore, adjusting the conductivity of the electrolyte by adding a certain amount of linear carboxylic acid ester is beneficial to improving the power performance of the battery while ensuring the high temperature cycle performance of the battery.
[0013] In any embodiment, the viscosity of the non-aqueous electrolyte at room temperature is 1-3 mPa·s or 2-3 mPa·s.
[0014] In any embodiment, when the mass proportion of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material in the positive electrode active material is ≥10%, the non-aqueous electrolyte further includes a substance containing a sulfur-oxygen bond, and the substance containing a sulfur-oxygen bond includes at least one of vinyl sulfate and 1,3-propane sultone.
[0015] In any embodiment, the mass content of the substance containing sulfur-oxygen bonds in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 0.5%-4% or 0.5%-2%.
[0016] Therefore, when the mass proportion of nickel cobalt manganese oxide material in the positive electrode active material is ≥10%, in order to facilitate the capacity advantage of nickel cobalt manganese oxide material, the upper limit voltage of the battery is based on the nickel cobalt manganese oxide material. Under high pressure, substances containing sulfur-oxygen bonds form a film at the positive electrode, which optimizes the positive electrode interface film component, inhibits the side reaction between the residual alkali on the surface of the nickel cobalt manganese oxide material and the acidic substances in the electrolyte, and improves the battery cycle performance.
[0017] In any embodiment, in the non-aqueous electrolyte, a mass ratio of the 1,3-propane sultone to the vinyl sulfate is greater than 0 and less than 1.
[0018] Therefore, the mass of vinyl sulfate is greater than that of 1,3-propane sultone, which can reduce the impedance of the positive electrode interface film and improve the power performance of the battery.
[0019] In any embodiment, the non-aqueous electrolyte further comprises a lithium salt, and the mass content of the lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 12%-16%.

[0021] Therefore, the inclusion of lithium hexafluorophosphate and fluorosulfonamide lithium salts in the non-aqueous electrolyte can increase the heat resistance temperature of the electrolyte, thereby reducing the risk of thermal runaway of the positive electrode caused by the heat instability of the electrolyte; at the same time, it is also beneficial to improve the cycle performance and power performance of the battery.
[0022] In any embodiment, the lithium salt includes lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium bisfluorosulfonyl imide, and the mass ratio of the lithium hexafluorophosphate to the lithium bisfluorosulfonyl imide is 1.23:1-4.28:1.
[0023] Therefore, the ratio of lithium hexafluorophosphate to lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide within the above range can, on the one hand, reduce the risk of thermal runaway of the positive electrode caused by the heat instability of the electrolyte, and on the other hand, reduce the negative impact of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide on the safety performance of the negative electrode, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0024] In any embodiment, the non-aqueous electrolyte further comprises ethylene carbonate, and the mass content of the ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 12%-35%.
[0025] Therefore, on the one hand, including ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is beneficial to reducing the impedance of the interface film, thereby improving the power performance of the battery while ensuring the battery cycle performance; on the other hand, the above content can inhibit the side reaction of ethylene carbonate with the positive electrode active material, thereby improving the cycle performance and safety performance of the battery.
[0026] In any embodiment, the mass content of Ni element in the positive electrode film layer is 4.5%-25%, the mass content of Fe element in the positive electrode film layer is 15%-33%, and the mass content of vinylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 1%-1.5%.
[0027] In any embodiment, the mass proportion of the lithium iron phosphate material in the positive electrode active material is 50%-90%.

[0113] [Battery Cell]
[0114] A battery cell, also known as a rechargeable battery or storage battery, refers to a battery that can be recharged to activate the active materials after being discharged and continue to be used.
[0115] Normally, a battery cell includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, a separator and an electrolyte. During the charge and discharge process of the battery, active ions (such as lithium ions) are embedded and removed back and forth between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The separator is set between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, mainly to prevent the positive and negative electrodes from short-circuiting, and at the same time allow active ions to pass through. The electrolyte is between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, mainly to conduct active ions.
[0116] One embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell, including an electrode assembly, wherein the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a non-aqueous electrolyte; the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer located on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, and the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer located on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector; wherein,
[0117] The positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material includes a lithium iron phosphate material and a nickel cobalt manganese oxide material; in the positive electrode active material, the molar proportion of Ni element in the sum of the three elements Ni, Co, and Mn is 0.5-0.95, for example, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.83, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95 or a range composed of any of the above numerical values; in some embodiments, since the lithium iron phosphate material does not contain Ni element or a trace amount of Ni element, the "molar proportion of Ni element in the sum of the three elements Ni, Co, and Mn" can also be calculated based on the element content in the nickel cobalt manganese oxide material.
[0118] The non-aqueous electrolyte includes vinylene carbonate, and the mass content of the vinylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 0.5%-2%, such as 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2% or a range consisting of any of the above values;
[0119] The non-aqueous electrolyte comprises at least one of a linear carbonate and a linear carboxylate, and the conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte is 9-14 mS / cm, for example, 9 mS / cm, 9.5 mS / cm, 10 mS / cm, 10.5 mS / cm, 11 mS / cm, 11.5 mS / cm, 12 mS / cm, 12.5 mS / cm, 13 mS / cm, 13.5 mS / cm, 14 mS / cm or a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0120] The mixed use of nickel cobalt manganese oxide material and lithium iron phosphate material has the advantage of high energy density at low cost, thus making up for the lack of energy density range between single lithium iron phosphate battery and single nickel cobalt manganese oxide battery. However, nickel cobalt manganese oxide material with higher nickel content has the advantage of high gram capacity, which is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery. However, the surface residual alkali content of nickel cobalt manganese oxide material with higher nickel content is high, which is easy to react with the acid in the electrolyte to produce water. Water will aggravate the acid generation in the electrolyte. The generated acid is easy to destroy the structure of the positive electrode material, resulting in the dissolution of transition metal ions. The dissolved transition metal ions are easy to enrich on the surface of the negative electrode SEI film, catalyzing the damage of the SEI film, resulting in a decrease in the cycle performance of the battery. Moreover, the power performance of lithium iron phosphate material is not as good as that of nickel cobalt manganese oxide material. Therefore, the mixing of lithium iron phosphate material into the positive electrode active material leads to a loss of power performance of the battery.
[0121] Furthermore, by making the non-aqueous electrolyte include a certain amount of vinylene carbonate, it is beneficial to form a stable component on the surface of the negative electrode to improve the stability of the negative electrode SEI film, alleviate the problem of SEI film destruction caused by the use of nickel cobalt manganese oxide materials with a high nickel content, and an appropriate amount of vinylene carbonate can also reduce the SEI film impedance and improve the power performance lost due to the use of low-power lithium iron phosphate materials; at the same time, the conductivity of the electrolyte is within a certain range, so that the transmission resistance of lithium ions in the liquid phase is reduced, which is beneficial to compensate for the power loss caused by the increase in SEI film impedance, and is also beneficial to compensate for the power loss caused by the mixing of lithium iron phosphate materials, and is also beneficial to reduce the negative impact of excessive conductivity on high-temperature cycle performance, ensuring that the battery has a high energy density while improving the battery's cycle performance and power performance.
[0122] In the present application, the molar proportion of Ni in the sum of Ni, Co and Mn can be tested by conventional methods in the art. For example, the positive electrode sheet is disassembled from the battery cell, and the positive electrode sheet is fully cleaned with DMC (dimethyl carbonate), and the positive electrode sheet is dried, and the material in the positive electrode film layer is collected, and the mass content of Ni, Co and Mn is tested by ICP, and then the molar proportion of Ni in the sum of Ni, Co and Mn is calculated.
[0123] In the present application, the conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte is tested by conventional methods in the art, for example, using a conductivity meter.
[0124] In some embodiments, the non-aqueous electrolyte includes a linear carbonate, the linear carbonate includes dimethyl carbonate, and the mass content of the dimethyl carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 4%-20% or 8%-16%, such as 4%, 5%, 6%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 14%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 20% or any range of the above values. Thus, adjusting the conductivity of the electrolyte by a certain amount of dimethyl carbonate is beneficial to improving the power performance of the battery while ensuring the high temperature cycle performance of the battery.
[0125] In some embodiments, the non-aqueous electrolyte includes a linear carboxylate, and the mass content of the linear carboxylate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 5%-25%, for example, 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 16%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 23%, 25% or a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0126] In some embodiments, the linear carboxylic acid ester includes at least one of methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl formate, and ethyl acetate.
[0127] Therefore, adjusting the conductivity of the electrolyte by adding a certain amount of linear carboxylic acid ester is beneficial to improving the power performance of the battery while ensuring the high temperature cycle performance of the battery.
[0128] In some embodiments, the viscosity of the non-aqueous electrolyte at room temperature is 1-3 mPa·s or 2-3 mPa·s, for example, 1 mPa·s, 1.5 mPa·s, 1.8 mPa·s, 2 mPa·s, 2.2 mPa·s, 2.3 mPa·s, 2.5 mPa·s, 2.7 mPa·s, 2.8 mPa·s, 3 mPa·s or a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0129] In the present application, the viscosity of the non-aqueous electrolyte can be tested by conventional methods in the art. For example, a rotational viscometer is used for testing. When a rotor (e.g., rotor No. 18) is continuously rotated at a certain speed (e.g., 70 rpm) in a sample at room temperature (e.g., 20°C-35°C), the shear force applied causes the spring to generate torque, which is proportional to the viscosity, thereby obtaining the viscosity value of the sample. For example, under the condition of ambient humidity <80%, a sample is kept at a constant temperature of 25°C for at least 30 minutes, rotor No. 18 is placed in a sample cup, a speed of 70 rpm is selected, and the reading is taken for 5 minutes to obtain the viscosity value. More than 10 data points can be collected during the test and the average value is taken. The testing instrument can specifically be a Bolefei DV-2TLV viscometer.
[0130] In some embodiments, when the mass proportion of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material in the positive electrode active material is ≥10%, the non-aqueous electrolyte further includes a substance containing a sulfur-oxygen bond, and the substance containing a sulfur-oxygen bond includes at least one of vinyl sulfate and 1,3-propane sultone.
[0131] In some embodiments, the mass content of the substance containing sulfur-oxygen bonds in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 0.5%-4% or 0.5%-2%, for example, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.5%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.5%, 4% or a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0132] Therefore, when the mass proportion of nickel cobalt manganese oxide material in the positive electrode active material is ≥10%, in order to facilitate the capacity advantage of nickel cobalt manganese oxide material, the upper limit voltage of the battery is based on the nickel cobalt manganese oxide material. Under high pressure, substances containing sulfur-oxygen bonds form a film at the positive electrode, which optimizes the positive electrode interface film component, inhibits the side reaction between the residual alkali on the surface of the nickel cobalt manganese oxide material and the acidic substances in the electrolyte, and improves the battery cycle performance.
[0133] In some embodiments, in the non-aqueous electrolyte, a mass ratio of the 1,3-propane sultone to the vinyl sulfate is greater than 0 and less than 1.
[0134] Therefore, the mass of vinyl sulfate is greater than that of 1,3-propane sultone, which can reduce the impedance of the positive electrode interface film and improve the power performance of the battery.
[0135] In the present application, the mass content of vinyl sulfate and 1,3-propane sultone in the non-aqueous electrolyte is tested by conventional methods in the art, such as gas chromatography.
[0136] In some embodiments, the non-aqueous electrolyte further includes a lithium salt, and the mass content of the lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 12%-16%, for example, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16% or a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0137] In some embodiments, when the mass proportion of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material in the positive electrode active material is ≥20%, the lithium salt includes lithium hexafluorophosphate and a fluorosulfonamide lithium salt, and the fluorosulfonamide lithium salt includes at least one of monofluorosulfonyl imide lithium, bisfluorosulfonyl imide lithium, and trifluorosulfonyl imide lithium.
[0138] Therefore, including lithium hexafluorophosphate and fluorosulfonamide lithium salts in the non-aqueous electrolyte can increase the heat resistance temperature of the electrolyte, thereby reducing the risk of thermal runaway of the positive electrode caused by the heat instability of the electrolyte.
[0139] In some embodiments, the lithium salt includes lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium bisfluorosulfonyl imide, and the mass ratio of the lithium hexafluorophosphate to the lithium bisfluorosulfonyl imide is 1.23:1-4.28:1, for example, 1.5:1, 1.8:1, 2:1, 2.2:1, 2.5:1, 2.7:1, 3:1, 3.2:1, 3.4:1, 3.6:1, 3.8:1, 4:1, 4.1:1, 4.2:1, 4.28:1 or a range consisting of any of the above numerical values.
[0140] Therefore, the ratio of lithium hexafluorophosphate to lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide within the above range can, on the one hand, reduce the risk of thermal runaway of the positive electrode caused by the heat instability of the electrolyte, and on the other hand, reduce the negative impact of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide on the safety performance of the negative electrode, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0141] In some embodiments, the non-aqueous electrolyte further includes ethylene carbonate, and the mass content of ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 12%-35%, for example, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 27%, 30%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35% or a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0142] Therefore, on the one hand, including ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is beneficial to reducing the impedance of the interface film, thereby improving the power performance of the battery while ensuring the battery cycle performance; on the other hand, the above content can inhibit the side reaction of ethylene carbonate with the positive electrode active material, thereby improving the cycle performance and safety performance of the battery.
[0143] In the present application, the mass content of ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is tested by conventional methods in the art, such as gas chromatography.
[0144] In some embodiments, the mass content of Ni element in the positive electrode film layer is 4.5%-25% (for example, 4.5%, 5%, 7%, 9%, 10%, 12%, 14%, 15%, 17%, 19%, 20%, 22%, 24%, 25% or any range consisting of the above values), the mass content of Fe element in the positive electrode film layer is 15%-33% (for example, 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 24%, 26%, 28%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33% or any range consisting of the above values), and the mass content of vinyl carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 1%-1.5% (for example, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5% or any range consisting of the above values).
[0145] In the embodiments of the present application, the type and content of the organic components in the electrolyte are well known in the art and can be detected by using equipment and methods well known in the art, for example, the composition of the electrolyte can be measured by liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion chromatography, liquid phase nuclear magnetic resonance, etc. Exemplarily, the organic components in the electrolyte can be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography with reference to GB / T9722-2006 "General Rules for Gas Chromatography of Chemical Reagents".
[0146] The test sample in the embodiments of the present application can be a newly prepared electrolyte as a sample, or a free electrolyte obtained from a battery after the battery is fully discharged (discharged to the lower limit cut-off voltage so that the battery's charged state is about 0% SOC) as a sample.
[0147] In the present application, the mass content of linear carbonate, vinylene carbonate, vinyl sulfate, 1,3-propane sultone, vinyl carbonate, and linear carboxylic acid ester in the non-aqueous electrolyte can be tested by conventional methods in the art. For example, gas chromatography is used for testing. The specific operating conditions of gas chromatography may include: the main components of the gas chromatography column include fused silica, stationary phase (phenyl methyl polysiloxane, polyethylene glycol, alumina or molecular sieve), and protective layer (polyimide coating); the injection port temperature is 300°C; the column temperature is 250°C; the detector is 300°C; and the carrier flow rate is 1.5mL / min.
[0148] In the embodiments of the present application, the types and contents of the inorganic components / lithium salt concentrations in the electrolyte are well-known in the art, and can be detected by equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, the inorganic components / lithium salt concentrations in the electrolyte can be qualitatively or quantitatively analyzed by ion chromatography analysis methods with reference to the standard JY / T020-1996 "General Rules for Ion Chromatography Analysis Methods". In the embodiments of the present application, a newly prepared electrolyte can be taken as a sample, or the battery can be fully discharged (discharged to the lower limit cut-off voltage so that the battery is charged at about 0% SOC), and the free electrolyte obtained from the battery can be used as a sample, and the ion chromatography analysis method can be used for detection.
[0149] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the lithium iron phosphate material in the positive electrode active material is 50%-90%, for example, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0150] Therefore, when the mass proportion of lithium iron phosphate material in the positive electrode active material is high, the structural stability is increased, which can improve the cycle performance and safety performance.
[0151] In this application, the mass proportion of Fe and Ni in the positive electrode film layer is tested by conventional methods in the art. For example, the battery cell is disassembled, the positive electrode sheet is taken out, the positive electrode sheet is fully cleaned with DMC (dimethyl carbonate), and the positive electrode sheet is dried, the material in the positive electrode film layer is collected, and the mass proportion of each element in the positive electrode film layer is tested by ICP.
[0152] In some embodiments, the mass proportion of the lithium iron phosphate material in the positive electrode active material is 60%-80% (for example, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80% or a range consisting of any of the above numerical values); in the positive electrode active material, the molar proportion of Ni element in the sum of the three elements Ni, Co, and Mn is 0.7-0.95, for example, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95 or a range consisting of any of the above numerical values.
[0153] As a result, the battery has both good energy density and cycle performance while maintaining cost advantages.

[0171] In some embodiments, the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material also includes one or more elements of Al, B, Fe, Sr, Ti, Y, Zr, Na, K, Mg, Si, P, S, Ca, Sc, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, Ba, Ta, W, Yb, La, Ce, and F.
[0172] In some embodiments, the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material includes one or more of the following:
[0173] The mass percentage of Al element in the nickel cobalt lithium manganese oxide material is 0.0315%-0.07%;

[0181] The mass percentage of Ti element in the nickel cobalt lithium manganese oxide material is 0.00015%-0.0004%;
[0182] The mass proportion of Y element in the nickel cobalt manganese oxide material is 0.0004%-0.0009%;
[0183] The mass proportion of Zr element in the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material is 0.128%-0.3%.
[0184] In some embodiments, the nickel cobalt manganese oxide material includes spherical particles, and the lithium iron phosphate material includes particles having a shape suitable for filling the gaps between the spherical particles. Thus, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material is increased, thereby improving the energy density of the battery. In addition, the spherical lithium cobalt manganese oxide material is mostly a secondary particle morphology, which has good power performance.
[0185] In some embodiments, the nickel cobalt manganese oxide material is a polycrystalline material. Therefore, the use of polycrystalline nickel cobalt manganese oxide material is beneficial to improving the power of the battery.
[0186] In some embodiments, the nickel cobalt manganese oxide material includes particles with a longest diameter of 4-8 μm and particles with a longest diameter of 0.5-2 μm. Thus, the combination of nickel cobalt manganese oxide particles of different particle sizes is beneficial to increase the compaction density of the positive electrode active material and improve the energy density of the battery.
[0187] In some embodiments, the lithium iron phosphate material includes particles with a longest diameter of 0.1-0.3 μm and particles with a longest diameter of 1-2 μm. Thus, the combination of lithium iron phosphate particles of different particle sizes is beneficial to increase the compaction density of the positive electrode active material and improve the energy density of the battery.
[0188] In some embodiments, the "longest diameter" refers to: cutting a positive electrode sheet including lithium phosphate particles along the thickness direction of the sheet to expose the longitudinal section of the positive electrode film layer; and determining the longest diameter of the lithium phosphate particles by performing a scanning electron microscope (SEM) test on the longitudinal section of the positive electrode film layer. Specifically, the maximum value of the distance between any two points on the peripheral edge line of the particle is the "longest diameter" of the particle.
[0189] In the present application, the longest diameter of the particles of lithium iron phosphate material (or nickel cobalt manganese oxide material) can be tested by conventional methods in the art. For example, the positive electrode sheet is disassembled from the battery cell, the positive electrode sheet is fully cleaned with DMC (dimethyl carbonate), and the positive electrode sheet is dried, and the positive electrode sheet is cut along the thickness direction to expose the longitudinal section of the positive electrode film layer. Since the particle morphology of lithium iron phosphate material and nickel cobalt manganese oxide material is different, they can be distinguished. For lithium iron phosphate particles (or nickel cobalt manganese oxide particles), SEM is used to measure multiple times from different directions of each particle, and the maximum measured value is taken as the longest diameter. Multiple (for example, 10-100) particles of each material are tested.
[0190] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer further includes a lithium supplement material, and the lithium supplement material includes one or more of lithium phosphate, lithium hydrogen phosphate, lithium sulfate, lithium sulfite, lithium molybdate, lithium oxalate, lithium titanate, lithium tetraborate, lithium metasilicate, lithium metamanganate, lithium tartrate, and trilithium citrate. This is beneficial to improving the energy density of the battery.

This is conducive to improving the energy density of the battery.
[0192] In this application, the mass percentage of silicon in the negative electrode film layer is tested by conventional methods in the art. For example, the battery cell is disassembled, the negative electrode plate is taken out, the negative electrode plate is fully cleaned with DMC (dimethyl carbonate), and the negative electrode plate is dried, the material in the negative electrode film layer is collected, and the mass percentage of silicon in the negative electrode film layer is tested by ICP.
[0193] In some embodiments, the silicon material includes one or more of silicon oxide and silicon-carbon composite.
[0194] In some embodiments, the silicon material includes a silicon-carbon composite, and the mass proportion of silicon in the negative electrode film layer is 1%-5%, which is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery.
[0195] In some embodiments, the surface density of the positive electrode film layer is 0.32-0.36 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , for example 0.32mg / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.34mg / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.35mg / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.36mg / 1540.25mm 2Or any range consisting of the above values.
[0196] In some embodiments, the surface density of the negative electrode film layer is 0.169-0.190 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , for example 0.169mg / 1540.25mm 2 、0.170mg / 1540.25mm 2 、0.174mg / 1540.25mm 2 、0.176mg / 1540.25mm 2 、0.178mg / 1540.25mm 2 、0.180mg / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.182mg / 1540.25mm 2 、0.185mg / 1540.25mm 2 、0.187mg / 1540.25mm 2 、0.190mg / 1540.25mm 2 Or any range consisting of the above values.
[0197] This helps to increase the energy density of the battery.
[0198] In this application, the surface density of the positive electrode film layer (negative electrode film layer) is tested by conventional methods in the field. For example, a fixed area of positive electrode sheet (negative electrode sheet) is cut and weighed, the weight of the positive electrode collector (negative electrode collector) of the same area is weighed and calculated in advance, and the average thickness of the positive electrode film layer (negative electrode film layer) on the positive electrode sheet (negative electrode sheet) is measured. The weight of the positive electrode collector (negative electrode collector) is subtracted from the weight of the positive electrode sheet (negative electrode sheet), and then divided by the fixed area to obtain the surface density of the positive electrode film layer (negative electrode film layer).
[0199] In some embodiments, the ratio of the size of the positive electrode film layer in the first direction to the size of the battery cell in the first direction is ≥92%.
[0200] In some embodiments, the ratio of the size of the positive electrode film layer in the second direction to the size of the battery cell in the second direction is ≥93%, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0201] This is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the electrode assembly.
[0202] In some embodiments, when the battery cell is configured to a 0% SOC state, that is, the state achieved by discharging at 0.33C to 2.0V and then discharging at 0.05C to 2.0V at 25°C; the thickness ratio of the positive electrode film layer on either side of the positive electrode collector to the positive electrode collector is 5-8.
[0203] In some embodiments, when the battery cell is configured to a 0% SOC state, that is, a state achieved by discharging at 0.33C to 2.0V and then at 0.05C to 2.0V at 25°C; the thickness ratio of the negative electrode film layer on either side of the negative electrode current collector to the negative electrode current collector is 13-20.
[0204] As a result, the energy density and dynamic performance of the battery are improved at the same time.
[0205] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a first negative electrode film layer located on the negative electrode current collector and a second negative electrode film layer located on the first negative electrode film layer, and the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer include graphite, thereby further improving the dynamic performance of the battery.
[0206] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 10-13 μm.
[0207] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is 4-5.5 μm.
[0208] This improves the energy density of the battery.
[0209] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly includes at least two positive electrode sheets and at least two negative electrode sheets, and the positive electrode sheets and the negative electrode sheets are stacked; Figure 1 As shown (a single pole piece is shown in the figure), the positive pole piece and / or the negative pole piece includes a pole ear portion 61 and a main body portion 62, the pole ear portion 61 extends from the main body portion 62 along a first direction, and the ratio of the total dimension L1 of the connecting area between the pole ear portion 61 and the main body portion 62 in the second direction to the dimension L of the main body portion 62 in the second direction is ≥50%, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0210] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown (a single pole piece is shown in the figure), the positive pole piece and / or the negative pole piece includes a main body 62 and a plurality of pole ear portions 61, and the plurality of pole ear portions 61 extend from the main body 62 along a first direction, and the dimensions of the connecting areas of the plurality of pole ear portions 61 and the main body 62 in the second direction are L1a and L1b, respectively, and the total dimension L1 is obtained by adding L1a and L1b, and the ratio of L1 to the dimension L of the main body 62 in the second direction is ≥50%, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0211] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown (a single pole piece is shown in the figure), the positive pole piece and / or the negative pole piece includes a main body 62 and a pole ear portion 61, the pole ear portion 61 extends from the main body 62 along a first direction, the pole ear portion 61 is trapezoidal, and the ratio of the total dimension L1 of the connecting area of the pole ear portion 61 and the main body 62 in the second direction to the dimension L of the main body 62 in the second direction is ≥50%, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0212] In some embodiments, the battery cell includes at least two poles of the same polarity, and the poles are directly electrically connected to pole lugs of corresponding polarity.

[0214] This reduces the battery's DC impedance, increases the battery's current flow area, and improves the battery's fast charging performance.
[0215] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly has a dimension in the first direction of 400-1000 mm.
[0216] In some embodiments, a dimension of the electrode assembly in a second direction is 90-120 mm, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0217] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly has a dimension of 13-25 μm in a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction.
[0218] As a result, the energy density of the battery is improved while ensuring the fast charging performance of the battery.
[0219] In some embodiments, the battery cell is configured to be discharged from 4.25V to 2.0V at a 1 / 3C discharge rate to a plateau voltage of 3.25-3.44V or 3.32-3.44V.
[0220] This increases the platform voltage of the battery and improves the energy density of the battery.
[0221] When the mass proportion of lithium iron phosphate in the positive electrode film layer is 50%-90%, the platform voltage of the battery cell discharged from 4.25V to 2.0V at 1 / 3C can be 3.25-3.44V. When the mass proportion of lithium iron phosphate in the positive electrode film layer is 60%-80%, the platform voltage of the battery cell discharged from 4.25V to 2.0V at 1 / 3C can be 3.32-3.44V.

[0224] In the present application, the energy density test of the battery cell is as follows: the battery cell is charged at a constant current to a charging cut-off voltage, then charged at a constant voltage to ≤0.05C, and then discharged at a constant current to a discharge cut-off voltage, and the discharge capacity A0 and the platform voltage V are recorded; the mass of the battery cell is weighed (generally the battery cell with a casing is weighed) M0; the energy density of the battery cell is A0×V) / M0, and the unit can be Wh / kg.
[0225] In some embodiments, the upper charging voltage limit of the battery cell at room temperature is 4.2-4.3 V, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery.
[0226] [Positive electrode]
[0227] The battery will be accompanied by Li deintercalation and consumption during the charge and discharge process, and the molar content of Li is different when the battery is discharged to different states. In the list of positive electrode materials in this application, the molar content of Li is the initial state of the material, that is, the state before feeding. The positive electrode material is used in the battery system, and the molar content of Li will change after charge and discharge cycles.
[0228] In the list of positive electrode materials in this application, the molar content of O is only a theoretical value. The release of oxygen from the lattice will cause the molar content of oxygen to change, and the actual molar content of O will fluctuate.
[0229] As an example, the positive electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite to each other in its thickness direction, and the positive electrode film layer is disposed on any one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.
