[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of battery cells, and in particular to a battery cell, an electrical device, and an energy storage device. Background Art
[0003] In recent years, battery cells have been widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, as well as in power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields.
[0004] With the market's increasing demands for both the range and recharge efficiency of electric devices, higher requirements are being placed on the energy density and fast-charging performance of battery cells. However, achieving these performance improvements often results in a deterioration in cycle stability, which has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be addressed in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present application is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a battery cell, a battery device, an electrical device and an energy storage device. The battery cell takes into account the improvement of energy density, fast charging performance, cycle stability under fast charging and safety performance, so as to achieve a comprehensive improvement in battery performance.
[0006] The first aspect of the present application provides a battery cell, comprising an electrode assembly and an electrolyte, the electrode assembly comprising a positive electrode sheet, a separator and a negative electrode sheet stacked in sequence, the positive electrode sheet comprising a positive electrode collector and a positive electrode active material layer arranged on at least one side of the positive electrode collector, the positive electrode collector comprising a positive electrode collector portion and a positive electrode tab, the positive electrode tab being arranged at at least one end of the positive electrode collector extending along the length direction of the electrode assembly; the negative electrode sheet comprising a negative electrode collector and a negative electrode active material layer arranged on at least one side of the negative electrode collector, the negative electrode collector comprising a negative electrode collector portion and a negative electrode tab, the negative electrode tab being arranged at at least one end of the negative electrode collector extending along the length direction of the electrode assembly; wherein the positive electrode active material layer comprises a positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active material comprises a lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure; the positive electrode active material layer extends along the length direction of the electrode assembly The size of the electrode assembly is 300mm to 950mm along the length direction; along the length direction of the electrode assembly, the size of the negative active material layer is larger than that of the positive active material layer, and the size difference between the negative active material layer and the positive active material layer is OH1, and OH1 is larger than 1mm and smaller than 5mm; along the width direction of the electrode assembly, the size of the negative active material layer is larger than that of the positive active material layer, and the size difference between the negative active material layer and the positive active material layer is OH2, and OH2 is larger than 1mm and less than or equal to 4mm; the electrolyte includes a solvent and a lithium-containing electrolyte salt, the solvent includes a carboxylate solvent, and the lithium-containing electrolyte salt includes a fluorine-containing sulfonyl imide lithium salt; based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass of the carboxylate solvent accounts for 8% to 57%, and the mass of the fluorine-containing sulfonyl imide lithium salt accounts for 3% to 8%.
[0007] Lithium-containing phosphates with an olivine structure have the advantages of low cost and long life. When combined with a laminated electrode assembly design where the dimensions of the positive electrode active material layer along the length of the electrode assembly are within the aforementioned range and the tabs are located on the short side, this helps improve the internal space utilization of the battery cells and address the low energy density of the battery cells when lithium-containing phosphates are used as the positive electrode active material. This also shortens the current transmission path from the active material to the tabs, reducing the battery's internal resistance and enabling the battery cells to achieve both excellent fast-charging performance and energy density. However, as the charge rate of the battery cells increases, the current density and temperature rise near the tabs are high, resulting in faster lithium ion migration than in other areas, making it easier for lithium dendrites to form near the tabs in the negative electrode active material layer. The battery cell of the embodiment of the present application improves the ability of the negative electrode active material layer, especially the negative electrode active material layer near the tab area, to accept active ions in the length direction through the design of OH1, and makes the distance between the positive electrode active material layer and the tab side farther, and the current distribution of the active material layer near the tab area is more uniform, so that the temperature rise is reduced, thereby comprehensively improving the lithium plating problem of the negative electrode plate; the design of OH2 helps to reduce the probability of the positive and negative electrodes overlapping due to thermal shrinkage of the isolation membrane and subsequent internal short circuit of the battery; while improving the cycle stability of the battery cell, the values of OH1 and OH2 are controlled within the above range, so that the battery cell has excellent energy density. Carboxylate solvents offer the advantages of low viscosity and high ionic conductivity, facilitating electrolyte wetting of the negative electrode active material layer and the rapid insertion and removal of active ions from the negative electrode active material layer, thereby further alleviating lithium plating issues in the negative electrode. However, their high activity makes them susceptible to decomposition and gassing at high current rates. Therefore, by rationally controlling the mass fraction of carboxylate solvents in the electrolyte within the above range, the electrolyte achieves both good conductivity and stability, further improving the fast-charging performance and cycling stability of the battery cells. Fluorinated sulfonyl imide salts readily dissociate in carboxylate solvents, further enhancing electrolyte conductivity. Furthermore, fluorinated sulfonyl imide salts exhibit high thermochemical stability and are not susceptible to thermal decomposition. Furthermore, fluorinated sulfonyl imide salts can participate in the formation of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the surface of the negative electrode active material, helping to enhance the thermal stability of the SEI film and reduce its impedance, further mitigating the risk of lithium plating at high current rates. However, as the temperature of the battery cells rises, the fluorinated sulfonyl imide salt will undergo violent decomposition below a certain temperature threshold, releasing a large amount of heat, sharply increasing the risk of thermal runaway in the battery. This safety risk is even more significant in fast-charging batteries. Therefore, by further rationally controlling the mass percentage of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt in the electrolyte within the above range, the electrolyte has good conductivity and stability, further improving fast-charging performance and cycle stability while reducing the risk of thermal runaway in the battery cells, thus maintaining excellent safety performance in the battery cells.The embodiments of the present application enable lithium ions to cooperate with each other during liquid-phase and solid-phase transmission through the mutual cooperation between the electrode assembly and the electrolyte. The battery cells have excellent energy density, reduced risk of lithium plating during fast charging, improved cycle life, and safety performance, thereby achieving a comprehensive improvement in battery performance.

[0024] The above-mentioned tab setting helps to improve the overcurrent capacity of the battery cell, alleviate the situation where the temperature on the tab side is too high during fast charging, causing electrolyte decomposition and uneven current distribution to cause lithium deposition on the tab side, thereby improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell and the cycle stability under fast charging.

[0032] Lithium-containing electrolyte salts that also include lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) can reduce the risk of thermal runaway in battery cells, keeping the risk reduction within a controllable range and further improving the safety performance of the battery cells. Battery cells with a combined mass ratio of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) and fluorinated sulfonyl imide salts in the electrolyte within the aforementioned range can further balance the battery cells' fast-charging performance, cycling stability under fast-charging conditions, and safety performance.
[0033] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the ratio of the mass proportion of lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF6 to the mass proportion of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt is 0.9:1 to 4:1.

[0038] Carbonate solvents have a high dielectric constant, which can increase the dissociation rate of lithium ions and anions in lithium-containing electrolyte salts, thereby further comprehensively improving the fast charging performance of battery cells and the cycle stability under fast charging.
[0039] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the carbonate solvent accounts for 18% to 75% by mass.
[0040] Due to the high viscosity of carbonate solvents, increasing the carbonate solvent content increases the electrolyte viscosity, negatively impacting the electrolyte's conductivity. By properly controlling the mass percentage of carbonate solvents within the aforementioned range, the electrolyte achieves both an appropriate viscosity and a good dissociation rate, thereby achieving a comprehensive improvement in electrolyte conductivity, which is beneficial for further enhancing the fast-charging performance of battery cells and the cycling stability under fast charging.

[0048] Sulfur-containing additives often have a higher potential. Sulfur-containing additives added to the electrolyte will preferentially react during formation or subsequent cycling, evolving into sulfur-containing components in the SEI film. The SEI film formed by carbonate additives has poor high-temperature stability, which is detrimental to the stability of the battery cells in high-temperature environments. The presence of sulfur in the SEI film can further enhance the thermal stability of the SEI film at high temperatures and further reduce the interfacial impedance on the negative electrode side, which is beneficial for further improving the cycling stability and fast-charging performance of the battery cells.

Furthermore, these lithium salt additives can form a positive electrode electrolyte interface film (CEI film) on the surface of the positive electrode active material, further improving the cycle stability of the battery cell.

[0053] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of vinylene carbonate is 2% to 5%.
[0054] Vinylene carbonate (VC) has a similar reduction potential to carboxylate solvents, which can inhibit the reactivity of carboxylate solvents and improve the cycle life of battery cells. However, excessive VC content can increase the battery's interfacial impedance and charge transfer impedance, hindering the fast-charging performance of the battery cells. A VC mass percentage within the above range ensures that the battery achieves both excellent cycle life and fast-charging performance.
[0055] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the ethylene carbonate derivative is 0% to 4%.
[0056] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the ethylene carbonate derivative is 1.5% to 3.5%.
[0057] Ethylene carbonate derivatives can also form films on the negative electrode surface at higher potentials and exhibit low interfacial and charge transfer resistance. The mass percentage of ethylene carbonate derivatives within the aforementioned range enables the battery cells to achieve both excellent fast-charging performance and cycle life. By combining vinylene carbonate (VC) and ethylene carbonate derivatives in the electrolyte, the fast-charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cells can be comprehensively improved.

[0149] The types and qualities of the solvent and lithium-containing electrolyte salt in the electrolyte can be obtained by testing the electrolyte using methods known to those skilled in the art. In the embodiments of the present application, a freshly prepared electrolyte can be taken as a sample, the free electrolyte of a fresh battery can be taken as a sample, or a battery cell that has been fully discharged (discharged to the discharge cut-off voltage so that the charged state of the battery cell is approximately 0% SOC) can be reversely disassembled, and the free electrolyte obtained from the battery cell is used as a sample for detection using an ion chromatography analysis method. The types and contents of organic components in the electrolyte are well known in the art and can be detected using equipment and methods known in the art. For example, the organic components of the electrolyte can be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography with reference to GB / T9722-2023 "General Rules for Gas Chromatography of Chemical Reagents".

[0150] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the carboxylate solvent can be 8%, 15%, 22%, 29%, 36%, 43%, 50%, 57%, or any range therebetween.
[0151] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt may be 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, or any range therebetween.
[0152] Lithium-containing phosphates with an olivine structure have the advantages of low cost and long life. When combined with a laminated electrode assembly design where the dimensions of the positive electrode active material layer along the length of the electrode assembly are within the aforementioned range and the tabs are located on the short side, this helps improve the internal space utilization of the battery cells and address the low energy density of the battery cells when lithium-containing phosphates are used as the positive electrode active material. This also shortens the current transmission path from the active material to the tabs, reducing the battery's internal resistance and enabling the battery cells to achieve both excellent fast-charging performance and energy density. However, as the charge rate of the battery cells increases, the current density and temperature rise near the tabs are high, resulting in faster lithium ion migration than in other areas, making it easier for lithium dendrites to form near the tabs in the negative electrode active material layer. The battery cell of the embodiment of the present application improves the ability of the negative electrode active material layer, especially the negative electrode active material layer near the tab area, to accept active ions in the length direction through the design of OH1, and makes the distance between the positive electrode active material layer and the tab side farther, and the current distribution of the active material layer near the tab area is more uniform, so that the temperature rise is reduced, thereby comprehensively improving the lithium plating problem of the negative electrode plate; the design of OH2 helps to reduce the probability of the positive and negative electrodes overlapping due to thermal shrinkage of the isolation membrane and subsequent internal short circuit of the battery; while improving the cycle stability of the battery cell, the values of OH1 and OH2 are controlled within the above range, so that the battery cell has excellent energy density. Carboxylate solvents offer the advantages of low viscosity and high ionic conductivity, facilitating electrolyte wetting of the negative electrode active material layer and the rapid insertion and removal of active ions from the negative electrode active material layer, thereby further alleviating lithium plating issues in the negative electrode. However, their high activity makes them susceptible to decomposition and gassing at high current rates. Therefore, by rationally controlling the mass fraction of carboxylate solvents in the electrolyte within the above range, the electrolyte achieves both good conductivity and stability, further improving the fast-charging performance and cycling stability of the battery cells. Fluorinated sulfonyl imide salts readily dissociate in carboxylate solvents, further enhancing electrolyte conductivity. Furthermore, fluorinated sulfonyl imide salts exhibit high thermochemical stability and are not susceptible to thermal decomposition. Furthermore, fluorinated sulfonyl imide salts can participate in the formation of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the surface of the negative electrode active material, helping to enhance the thermal stability of the SEI film and reduce its impedance, further mitigating the risk of lithium plating at high current rates. However, as the temperature of the battery cells rises, the fluorinated sulfonyl imide salt will undergo violent decomposition below a certain temperature threshold, releasing a large amount of heat, sharply increasing the risk of thermal runaway in the battery. This safety risk is even more significant in fast-charging batteries. Therefore, by further rationally controlling the mass percentage of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt in the electrolyte within the above range, the electrolyte has good conductivity and stability, further improving fast-charging performance and cycle stability while reducing the risk of thermal runaway in the battery cells, thus maintaining excellent safety performance in the battery cells.The embodiments of the present application enable lithium ions to cooperate with each other during liquid-phase and solid-phase transmission through the mutual cooperation between the electrode assembly and the electrolyte. The battery cells have excellent energy density, reduced risk of lithium plating during fast charging, improved cycle life, and safety performance, thereby achieving a comprehensive improvement in battery performance.

[0203] Among them, the ethylene carbonate derivatives include compounds represented by formula III,
[0204] Formula III
[0205] R1, R2, R3, and R4 each independently include one or more of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-C5 alkyl group, and a C1-C5 haloalkyl group, and R1, R2, R3, and R4 are not hydrogen atoms at the same time. Optionally, the carbonate additive includes one or more of vinylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate.
[0206] Carbonate additives can evolve into organic components in the SEI film, improving the toughness of the SEI film, thereby further improving the stability of the SEI film during the battery cell cycle and further reducing the interfacial impedance on the negative electrode side, which is beneficial to further improve the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0207] In some embodiments, the sulfur-containing additive includes one or more of vinyl sulfate, vinyl bissulfate, butylene sulfite, vinyl sulfite, methylene disulfonate, and 1,3 propane sultone.
[0208] Sulfur-containing additives often have a higher potential. Sulfur-containing additives added to the electrolyte will preferentially react during formation or subsequent cycling, evolving into sulfur-containing components in the SEI film. The SEI film formed by carbonate additives has poor high-temperature stability, which is detrimental to the stability of the battery cells in high-temperature environments. The presence of sulfur in the SEI film can further enhance the thermal stability of the SEI film at high temperatures and further reduce the interfacial impedance on the negative electrode side, which is beneficial for further improving the cycling stability and fast-charging performance of the battery cells.
[0209] In some embodiments, the lithium salt additive includes one or more of lithium difluorophosphate, lithium difluorooxalatoborate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, and lithium bis(oxalatoborate).
[0210] Lithium salt additives can evolve into inorganic components in the SEI film, increasing the rigidity and thermal stability of the SEI film, further improving the stability of the SEI film and further reducing the interfacial impedance on the negative electrode side, thereby further improving the battery's cycle stability and fast charging performance. Furthermore, these lithium salt additives can form a positive electrode electrolyte interface film (CEI film) on the surface of the positive electrode active material, further improving the cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0211] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the carbonate additive is 3% to 8%.
[0212] Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the additive can be measured using any method known in the art. As an example, the mass proportion of the solvent and lithium-containing electrolyte salt in the electrolyte can be measured using the test method described above. It should be understood that since the additive in the electrolyte will be consumed during the formation and circulation process to form relevant components in the SEI film and / or CEI film, the mass proportion of the additive in the electrolyte may be slightly lower than the initial mass proportion of the additive in the electrolyte.
[0213] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the carbonate additive may be 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, or any range therebetween.
[0214] The mass proportion of carbonate additives in the electrolyte is within the above range, which is beneficial to both improving the stability of the SEI film and maintaining an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, thereby further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0215] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of vinylene carbonate is 2% to 5%.
[0216] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of vinylene carbonate can be 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, or any range therebetween.
[0217] Vinylene carbonate (VC) has a similar reduction potential to carboxylate solvents, which can inhibit the reactivity of carboxylate solvents and improve the cycle life of battery cells. However, excessive VC content can increase the battery's interfacial impedance and charge transfer impedance, hindering the fast-charging performance of the battery cells. A VC mass percentage within the above range ensures that the battery achieves both excellent cycle life and fast-charging performance.
[0218] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the ethylene carbonate derivative is 0% to 4%.
[0219] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the ethylene carbonate derivative is 1.5% to 3.5%.
[0220] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the ethylene carbonate derivative can be 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% or any range therebetween.
[0221] It should be noted that as the battery cells charge and discharge, when the amount of ethylene carbonate derivative added is relatively low, the ethylene carbonate derivative content may be 0% when the electrolyte is obtained by gas chromatography after disassembling the battery cells. It is understood that in some embodiments, the ethylene carbonate derivative added to the electrolyte is completely converted into organic components in the SEI film during the formation process. In some embodiments, ethylene carbonate derivatives remain in the electrolyte, reinforcing the SEI film during subsequent battery cell cycling.
[0222] Ethylene carbonate derivatives can also form films on the negative electrode surface at higher potentials and exhibit low interfacial and charge transfer resistance. The mass percentage of ethylene carbonate derivatives within the aforementioned range enables the battery cells to achieve both excellent fast-charging performance and cycle life. By combining vinylene carbonate (VC) and ethylene carbonate derivatives in the electrolyte, the fast-charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cells can be comprehensively improved.
[0223] In some embodiments, the mass proportion of the sulfur-containing additive is 0% to 2% based on the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0224] In some embodiments, the mass proportion of the sulfur-containing additive is 0.5% to 2% based on the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0225] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the sulfur-containing additive may be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, or any range therebetween.
[0226] It should be noted that since the additives in the electrolyte will be consumed during the formation and charge-discharge cycle to generate relevant components in the SEI film and / or CEI film, after disassembling the battery cell to obtain the electrolyte, when testing the content of sulfur-containing additives and lithium salt additives by gas chromatography, the content may be 0%.
[0227] Specifically, taking the case where the mass content of a sulfur-containing additive is 0% as an example, this could be because no sulfur-containing additives were added to the freshly prepared electrolyte, or because the electrolyte obtained after disassembling the battery cell does not contain sulfur-containing additives. In this case, it could be that the freshly prepared electrolyte did not contain sulfur-containing additives, or it could be that a small amount of sulfur-containing additives was added but participated in the SEI film formation reaction during the battery cell formation process, resulting in a mass content of 0% during the test. Alternatively, the freshly prepared electrolyte does contain sulfur-containing additives.
[0228] Furthermore, regarding the addition of certain substances, such as additives, to the electrolyte, the content of additives in the battery cell electrolyte is related to the formation process, different battery life cycles, or different battery storage conditions due to the additives' role in film formation on the surface of the active material. Therefore, the additive content in a freshly prepared electrolyte may differ from that in an electrolyte obtained by reverse disassembling a battery cell. However, those skilled in the art can determine the approximate content range of the relevant substances in the fresh electrolyte based on the performance level of the battery cell (such as the number of cycles) and residual content. Similarly, those skilled in the art can also determine the approximate content range of the corresponding non-freshly prepared (i.e., after reverse disassembly) electrolyte based on the content of the freshly prepared additives, the performance requirements for the battery cell, the storage environment, etc.
[0229] Therefore, the additive content mentioned in the technical solution of the present application can be the content of the additive actively added to the fresh electrolyte, or it can be the content of the residual additive detected by reverse detection based on the actual battery status.
[0230] It is understood that in some embodiments, the sulfur-containing additive added to the electrolyte is completely converted into sulfur-containing components in the SEI film during the formation process. The amount of sulfur-containing additive added to the electrolyte can be inferred by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) testing of the negative electrode material. In some embodiments, the sulfur-containing additive may remain in the electrolyte, reinforcing the SEI film during subsequent battery cell cycling.
[0231] In this application, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the negative electrode material can be tested by any method known in the art. As an example, after disassembling the battery cell, the negative electrode plate is cleaned with a solvent such as dimethyl carbonate (DMC) three or more times, and then a powder sample is scraped off. The resulting negative electrode material powder is adhered to a conductive substrate and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is performed using an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (such as AXIS ULTRA). The scan rate and time of the X-ray source are adjusted to focus and detect elements and functional groups at a depth of 5nm to 10nm from the surface of the negative electrode material. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectrum of the sample is obtained, and the characteristic element peaks in the spectrum are analyzed.
[0232] The mass proportion of sulfur-containing additives in the electrolyte is within the above range, which is beneficial to both improving the thermal stability of the SEI film at high temperatures and maintaining an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, and further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0233] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the lithium salt additive is 0% to 1%.
[0234] In some embodiments, the mass proportion of the lithium salt additive is 0.2% to 1% based on the total mass of the electrolyte.
[0235] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of the lithium salt additive is 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, or any range therebetween.
[0236] It is understood that in some embodiments, the lithium salt additive added to the electrolyte is completely converted into inorganic components in the SEI film and / or CEI film during the formation process. In some embodiments, the lithium salt additive still remains in the electrolyte, which strengthens the SEI film and / or CEI film during subsequent battery cell cycling.
[0237] The mass proportion of lithium salt additives in the electrolyte is within the above range, which is beneficial to both improving the stability of the SEI film and maintaining an appropriate viscosity of the electrolyte, and further comprehensively improving the cycle life and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0238] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material includes: an olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate, and a coating layer, wherein the coating layer is located on at least a portion of the surface of the lithium-containing phosphate, and the coating layer contains carbon.
[0239] The coating layer contains carbon elements, which is beneficial to improving the electronic conductivity of lithium-containing phosphates and improving the solid-phase transmission rate of electrons, thereby further improving the energy density and fast charging performance of the battery cells.
[0240] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass proportion of carbon element is 0.8% to 2.3%.
[0241] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass proportion of carbon element may be 0.8%, 1.1%, 1.4%, 1.7%, 2.0%, 2.3%, or any range therebetween.
[0242] Based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass proportion of the carbon element is within the above range, so that the lithium-containing phosphate has both excellent electronic conductivity and gram capacity, further comprehensively improving the energy density and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0243] In some embodiments, the coating layer further comprises a component as shown in Formula I,
[0244] Li 3-d1 Fe 2-d1 M1 d1 (PO m1 ) n1 Formula I,
[0245] Wherein, 0≤d1≤1, 3≤m1≤5, 2≤n1≤4, M1 includes one or more of Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn, and optionally, M1 has a valence of +4.
[0246] In some embodiments, d1 can be selected as 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1 or any range therebetween, m1 can be selected as 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5 or any range therebetween, and n1 can be selected as 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4 or any range therebetween.
[0247] In some embodiments, the component represented by Formula I includes one or more of Li2FeTi(PO4)3, Li2FeZr(PO4)3, and Li2FeSn(PO4)3.
[0248] It should be noted that the coating layer can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure, that is, the carbon-containing component in the coating layer and the component shown in Formula I can be a mixed phase or can be arranged in layers.
[0249] The physical structure of the coating layer can be characterized by any method known in the art. For example, by characterizing the positive electrode active material through transmission electron microscopy, it can be seen that the coating layer and the matrix of the positive electrode active material have different physical structures. Combining diffraction patterns and energy spectrum analysis, the composition of the coating layer can be judged.
[0250] The component shown in Formula I is a fast ion conductor with a NASICON structure. Its ionic conductivity approaches or exceeds that of conductive liquids such as electrolyte solutions or molten salts. It has abundant three-dimensional lithium ion diffusion and transport channels, and has advantages such as high ion conduction efficiency and strong structural stability during multiple lithium de- and lithium insertion processes. The coating layer on the surface of the lithium-containing phosphate contains a fast ion conductor with a NASICON structure, which can significantly increase the lithium ion transmission rate during multiple lithium de- and lithium insertion at the positive terminal, improve the ionic conductivity of the positive electrode active material, and further improve the energy density and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0251] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate includes a component as shown in Formula II,
[0252] Li x1 A y1 Me a1 M b1 P 1-c1 X c1 Y z1 Formula II,
[0253] Among them, 0.5≤x1≤1.3, 0≤y1≤1.3, 0.9≤x1+y1≤1.3; 0.9≤a1≤1.5, 0≤b1≤0.5, 0.9≤a1+b1≤1.5; 0≤c1≤0.5; 3≤z1≤5; A includes one or more of Na, K and Mg; Me includes one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni; M includes one or more of B, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, Ba, Ta, W, Yb, La, and Ce; X includes one or more of S, Si, Cl, B, C, N, and P; and Y includes one or more of O and F.
[0254] In some embodiments, x1 can be selected as 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or any range therebetween, y1 can be selected as 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or any range therebetween, x1+y1 can be selected as 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or any range therebetween, a1 can be selected as 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 or any range therebetween, b1 can be selected as wherein a1+b1 is 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 or any range therebetween; c1 is 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 or any range therebetween; z1 is 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5 or any range therebetween.
[0255] The lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure having the above components has good structural stability, can reduce the loss during the fast charging process, and further improve the fast charging performance and cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0256] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material includes one or more of lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, lithium nickel phosphate, lithium cobalt phosphate, and modified forms of any of the foregoing substances, wherein the modified form includes one or more of doping modification and coating modification.
[0257] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer is 2.50 g / cm 3 to 2.80g / cm 3 .
[0258] In this application, the compacted density of the positive electrode active material layer has a meaning well known in the art and can be tested using methods known in the art. For example, a battery cell is charged at a constant current charge rate of 0.33C to a cutoff voltage (e.g., 3.65V), left to stand for 1 minute, and then charged at a constant voltage of 3.65V to a current less than 0.05C. At this point, the battery cell is fully charged. The positive electrode sheet is then disassembled and the compacted density of the positive electrode active material layer is measured. The compacted density of the positive electrode active material layer is the single-sided coating mass of the positive electrode active material layer measured after disassembly / the single-sided thickness of the positive electrode active material layer.
[0259] The “mass of the positive electrode active material layer coated on one side” refers to the mass of the positive electrode active material layer per unit area on one side of the current collector.
[0260] In this application, the single-sided coating quality of the positive electrode active material layer can be tested using methods known in the art. For example, the positive electrode sheet can be taken from the disassembled battery (if it is a double-sided coated positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode active material layer on one side can be wiped off first), punched into small discs with an area of S1, and the mass is measured and recorded as M1. Then, the positive electrode active material layer of the weighed positive electrode sheet is wiped off, and the mass of the positive electrode current collector is weighed and recorded as M0. The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode sheet = (M1-M0) / S1.
[0261] The thickness of the positive electrode active material layer is well known in the art and can be measured using methods known in the art, such as using a micrometer (e.g., Mitutoyo 293-100, with an accuracy of 0.1 μm). It is understood that when a battery cell is fully charged, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer differs from the design compaction density of the battery cell. Due to actual operational influences, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer when a battery cell is fully charged is often slightly lower than the design compaction density of the battery cell.
[0262] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer may be 2.50 g / cm 3 , 2.55g / cm 3 , 2.60g / cm 3 , 2.68g / cm 3 , 2.70g / cm 3 , 2.75g / cm 3 , 2.80g / cm 3 or any range of values between them.
[0263] The positive electrode active material layer with a compaction density within the above range can further achieve a balance between the fast charging performance and energy density of the battery cell.
[0264] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating mass of the positive electrode active material layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 Up to 370mg / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0265] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating mass of the positive electrode active material layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 、210mg / 1540.25mm 2 、220mg / 1540.25mm 2 、230mg / 1540.25mm 2、240mg / 1540.25mm 2 、250mg / 1540.25mm 2 、260mg / 1540.25mm 2 、270mg / 1540.25mm 2 、280mg / 1540.25mm 2 、290mg / 1540.25mm 2 、300mg / 1540.25mm 2 、310mg / 1540.25mm 2 、320mg / 1540.25mm 2 、330mg / 1540.25mm 2 、340mg / 1540.25mm 2 、350mg / 1540.25mm 2 、360mg / 1540.25mm 2 、370mg / 1540.25mm 2 or any range of values between them.
[0266] The positive electrode active material layer having a single-side coating mass within the above range can further effectively balance the fast charging performance and energy density of the battery cell.
[0267] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 10 μm to 15 μm.
[0268] The materials for the positive and / or negative electrode current collectors are not particularly limited, as long as they do not cause chemical changes in the battery cells and are conductive. The current collectors include metal foils with a pure metal content of 95% or more, such as at least one of copper foil, aluminum foil, stainless steel foil, titanium foil, and nickel foil. They also include alloy foils containing at least two main elements, such as copper, aluminum, nickel, titanium, and iron. They can also include copper, aluminum-cadmium alloys, iron, or stainless steel surface-treated with carbon, nickel, titanium, silver, or copper. Furthermore, fine concave-convex surfaces can be formed to enhance the binding force with the negative electrode active material. The current collectors can be used in various forms, such as films, sheets, foils, meshes, porous bodies, foams, and non-woven fabrics.
[0269] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector may be 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or any range therebetween.
[0270] The positive electrode current collector has a relatively low thickness, which enables further improvement in the energy density of the battery cell.
[0271] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material layer may further optionally include a binder. For example, the binder may include at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and a fluorine-containing acrylate resin.
[0272] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material layer may further include a conductive agent. For example, the conductive agent may include at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0273] In some embodiments, the positive electrode plate further includes a positive electrode conductive layer, which is located between the positive electrode active material layer and the positive electrode current collector, and the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is 0.5 μm to 2 μm; and / or the negative electrode plate further includes a negative electrode conductive layer, which is located between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material layer on at least one side, and the thickness of the negative electrode conductive layer is 0.5 μm to 2 μm.
[0274] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer or the negative electrode conductive layer can be 0.5µm, 0.6µm, 0.7µm, 0.8µm, 0.9µm, 1.0µm, 1.1µm, 1.2µm, 1.3µm, 1.4µm, 1.5µm, 1.6µm, 1.7µm, 1.8µm, 1.9µm, 2.0µm, or any range therebetween.
[0275] The provision of the positive electrode conductive layer and / or the negative electrode conductive layer is beneficial to improving the electronic conductivity of the battery cell pole piece, and is beneficial to further improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0276] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive layer includes a conductive agent and a positive electrode binder, and the negative electrode conductive layer includes a conductive agent and a negative electrode binder, the conductive agent includes one or more of superconducting carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon nanofibers, and the positive electrode binder includes one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, polyacrylic acid and fluorine-containing acrylate resin.
[0277] In some embodiments, the negative active material layer includes a negative active material, and the negative active material includes a carbon-based material.
[0278] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material includes one or more of graphite and hard carbon.
[0279] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material includes composite graphite particles, the composite graphite particles include graphite particles and a carbon coating layer coated on at least a portion of the surface of the graphite particles, the graphite particles include secondary particles, and the carbon coating layer includes amorphous carbon.
[0280] Secondary particles are particles formed by the aggregation of two or more primary particles. Composite graphite particles, including secondary particles and a surface coating including amorphous carbon, facilitate the infiltration of electrolyte into the negative electrode active layer of the electrode and enhance the solid-phase transport capacity of active ions, contributing to further improvement in the fast-charging performance of battery cells.
[0281] In some embodiments, the amorphous carbon accounts for 2% to 5% by weight based on the total weight of the composite graphite particles.
[0282] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of amorphous carbon based on the total mass of the composite graphite particles may be 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, or any range therebetween.
[0283] When the content of amorphous carbon is within an appropriate range, the composite graphite material can have a high gram capacity while also having a high active ion solid-phase transport ability, which is conducive to further comprehensive improvement of the energy density and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0284] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material layer may further include a binder. The binder may be selected from at least one of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polyacrylic acid (PAA), sodium polyacrylate (PAAS), polyacrylamide (PAM), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS).
[0285] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material layer may further include a conductive agent, which may be selected from at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0286] In some embodiments, the composite graphite particles have a volume average particle size Dv50 of 9.5 μm to 13.5 μm.
[0287] "Volume average particle size Dv50" is well known in the art and represents the particle size corresponding to the 50% cumulative volume distribution percentage of a material. It can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be conveniently measured using a laser particle size analyzer, as per GB / T 19077-2016 Particle Size Distribution Laser Diffraction Method. The testing instrument can be a Mastersizer 3000 laser particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments Ltd., UK. The composite graphite particles can be freshly prepared or scraped from the negative electrode active material layer after disassembly of a battery cell. For example, discharge the battery to 0% SOC, then disassemble and take out the negative electrode, scrape a certain amount of powder on the electrode with a blade, and then use deionized water to clean it repeatedly by shaking for 5 to 10 times. After drying, sinter it in a tube furnace at 400°C for 2 hours. After sintering, take an appropriate amount of the sample to be tested (the sample concentration can ensure 8%-12% shading), add deionized water, and ultrasonically disperse it to ensure that the sample is completely dispersed. Then, measure the sample according to GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009 standard.
[0288] In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the composite graphite particles is 9.5 μm, 10.5 μm, 11.5 μm, 12.5 μm, 13.5 μm, or any range therebetween.
[0289] The volume average particle size Dv50 of the composite graphite particles is within the above range, which shortens the solid phase migration path of lithium ions while taking into account lower reaction activity, thereby taking into account the fast charging capability and cycle life of the battery cell.
[0290] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material further includes a silicon-based material, and the silicon-based material includes one or more of elemental silicon, silicon-carbon material, silicon-oxygen material, silicon-nitrogen material, and silicon alloy.
[0291] In some embodiments, the silicon-based material includes one or more of a silicon-carbon material, a silicon-oxygen material, and a silicon-nitrogen material.
[0292] In some embodiments, the mass proportion of silicon element is 0.5% to 5% based on the total mass of the negative electrode active material layer.
[0293] The qualitative and quantitative determination of each substance or element in this application can be carried out using appropriate equipment and methods known to those skilled in the art. The relevant detection methods can refer to domestic and international detection standards, domestic and international enterprise standards, etc., and those skilled in the art can also adapt certain detection steps / instrument parameters, etc. from the perspective of detection accuracy to obtain more accurate detection results. A single detection method can be used for qualitative or quantitative determination, or several detection methods can be used in combination for qualitative or quantitative determination. Based on the total mass of the negative electrode active material layer, the mass proportion of silicon element has a meaning well known in the art and can be tested using methods known in the art. For example, the negative electrode plate is placed in a solvent such as water for immersion, the negative electrode active material is separated from the negative electrode current collector, and the various substances in the negative electrode active material layer are obtained by filtration.

[0440] 4. Parameter test method for battery thermal runaway:
[0441] ① Charge adjustment: At 25°C, charge the lithium-ion battery to 3.65V at a constant current of 0.33C and let it stand for 1 minute; then charge it to 3.65V at a constant current of 0.1C and adjust the battery to 100% SOC.
[0442] ② Overcharge to thermal runaway test: Place the battery in a test fixture with a clamp force of 3000N and charge at a constant current rate of 1C until the cell experiences thermal runaway. After the battery cools to room temperature, observe the state of the thermal runaway cell. If fire or explosion occurs, the thermal runaway boundary has deteriorated.
