Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium-ion secondary batteries, and further relates to lithium-ion secondary batteries, their preparation methods, and electrical devices. Background Art
[0002] The statements herein only provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] With the development of lithium-ion secondary battery technology, lithium-ion secondary batteries are increasingly widely used in many fields such as smart phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, aerospace, etc., and are also widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydroelectric, thermal, wind, and solar power stations. Among them, lithium-ion secondary batteries using cathode active materials such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) have outstanding advantages in terms of safety and battery life due to their excellent structural stability. However, such cathode active materials usually inevitably introduce moisture, easily generate acid by-products, which damage the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film of the anode, aggravate the interfacial side reactions of the anode, and limit the exertion of the life advantages of such battery systems. Especially, the side reactions involving water at high temperatures are more intense, resulting in less than ideal high-temperature performance of the battery. For lithium-ion secondary batteries with cathode active materials including lithium-containing phosphate cathode materials, although in theory, high-temperature additives such as alkynyl additives can improve the high-temperature performance of the battery by optimizing the anode SEI film, it will increase the interfacial impedance of the anode and affect the performance at room temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0006] For a lithium-ion secondary battery whose positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode material, by introducing an alkaline alkyne additive (which can also be denoted as additive A) with a carbon-carbon triple bond and a Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle and having high-temperature stability into the electrolyte, the Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle can absorb water and acid by-products, reduce the free acid by-products in the electrolyte at high temperatures, inhibit the exacerbating effect of the acid by-products on the battery capacity attenuation at high temperatures, and then use the carbon-carbon triple bond to form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film with high stability on the negative electrode, reduce the interfacial side reactions at high temperatures. By utilizing the aforementioned multiple effects, the high-temperature performance of the battery can be significantly improved; further controlling the average particle size of the primary particles in the positive electrode active material within a relatively moderate range can not only reduce the content of water and acid by-products in the system and inhibit the damage of the acid by-products to the negative electrode SEI film, inhibit the increase in interfacial impedance at room temperature caused by the participation of the alkaline alkyne additive in the negative electrode film formation, but also control the positive electrode active material to have a more suitable lithium-ion transmission path and then regulate the internal resistance of the battery, thereby facilitating the lithium-ion secondary battery to also achieve good room-temperature performance; based on the aforementioned multiple effects, but not limited to the aforementioned theory, the high-temperature performance of the lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode material battery system can be significantly improved while also taking into account good room-temperature performance.
[0007] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the primary particles in the positive electrode active material is 150 nm to 450 nm, optionally 200 nm to 450 nm, and further optionally 250 nm to 450 nm.
[0008] By controlling the average particle size (D1) of the primary particles in the positive electrode active material within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to better balance the increase in the interfacial impedance of the negative electrode indirectly caused by water in the positive electrode active material and the influence of the lithium-ion transmission path on the internal resistance of the battery, and it is beneficial to significantly improve the high-temperature performance of the battery while also better taking into account the room-temperature performance.

At this time, through the synergistic effect of controlling the average particle size (D1) of the primary particles in the positive electrode active material and introducing the alkaline alkyne additive, the high-temperature performance of the battery can be significantly improved while also taking into account better room-temperature performance.

[0115] Lithium-ion secondary batteries using cathode active materials such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) have outstanding advantages in terms of safety and battery life due to their excellent structural stability. However, such cathode active materials usually inevitably introduce moisture, easily generate acid by-products, which can damage the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film of the anode, exacerbate the interfacial side reactions of the anode, lead to capacity attenuation and affect the battery life.

The "particle size of primary particles" refers to the maximum diameter of the primary particles in all directions.
[0135] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "primary particles" in the positive electrode active material are the basic particle units in the positive electrode active material. It can be understood that there are primary particles in the positive electrode active material. In the positive electrode active material, the primary particles can exist in a non-agglomerated state, or multiple primary particles can form an aggregate. The non-agglomerated primary particles can be called "non-agglomerated primary particles", and the aggregate formed by multiple primary particles can be called "secondary particles".
[0136] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "non-aqueous solvent" refers to a solvent that is not water.
[0137] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle" refers to a nitrogen heterocycle with Lewis base properties. This concept is based on the Lewis acid-base theory (Lewis acids and bases). The Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle can provide an electron pair and has the characteristic of being electron-rich. Therefore, the Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle can attract and combine with acidic substances. In addition, the Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle can also form hydrogen bonds with water. Non-limiting examples of the Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle include, but are not limited to, the imidazole ring.

The alkynyl basic additive can significantly improve the high-temperature performance of the battery, including extending the high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance, and can be used as a high-temperature additive. However, the introduction of the alkynyl basic additive easily leads to a large interfacial impedance of the negative electrode at room temperature.
[0140] In the lithium-ion secondary battery provided by the present application, it can be understood that the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are wetted by the electrolyte solution.
[0141] For a lithium-ion secondary battery in which the positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode material, by introducing an alkaline alkyne additive (which can also be denoted as additive A) having a carbon-carbon triple bond and a Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle and having high temperature stability into the electrolyte solution, the Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle can be used to absorb water and acid by-products, reduce the free acid by-products in the electrolyte solution at high temperature, inhibit the aggravating effect of the acid by-products on the battery capacity attenuation at high temperature, and then use the carbon-carbon triple bond to form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film with high stability on the negative electrode, reduce the interfacial side reactions at high temperature, and utilize the foregoing multiple effects to significantly improve the high temperature performance of the battery; further control the average particle size of the primary particles in the positive electrode active material within a relatively moderate range, which can not only reduce the content of water and acid by-products in the system and inhibit the damage of the acid by-products to the negative electrode SEI film, inhibit the increase of the interfacial impedance at room temperature caused by the participation of the alkaline alkyne additive in the negative electrode film formation, but also control the positive electrode active material to have a more suitable lithium ion transmission path and then regulate the internal resistance of the battery, so as to be beneficial to enabling the lithium-ion secondary battery to also achieve good room temperature performance; based on the foregoing multiple effects, but not limited to the foregoing theory, the high temperature performance of the battery system containing the lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode material can be significantly improved while also taking into account good room temperature performance.
[0142] In the present application, the manner in which the Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle absorbs water and / or acid by-products may include, but is not limited to, hydrogen bond interaction.

The testing of the types and contents of the organic components (including non-aqueous solvents and organic additives) in the electrolyte solution can be tested with reference to relevant standards such as "General Rules for Gas Chromatography of Chemical Reagents (GB / T 9722-2023)".
[0144] In addition, those skilled in the art can also identify the components contained in the electrolyte solution in the lithium-ion secondary battery through one or more of the following detection methods, including but not limited to: nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum ( 11H NMR), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MADI-TOF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet spectroscopy, gas chromatography (GC), etc. The sample preparation methods and test methods of these test methods are known to those skilled in the art, and the test parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to the structure of the material or substance and the sample characteristics. As a non-limiting example, FT-IR, ultraviolet spectroscopy, 1 1H NMR, mass spectrometry, MADI-TOF, GC and other methods can be used to detect the types and contents of the components of the electrolyte, but are not limited thereto.
[0145] The sample to be tested of the electrolyte can be obtained by disassembling the battery cell.
[0146] In this application, the sample to be tested of the "positive active material" in the positive electrode sheet of the lithium-ion secondary battery can be obtained by disassembling the battery, taking out the positive electrode sheet, and using methods such as solvent washing, ultrasonic dispersion, centrifugal separation, fractional sedimentation, and sintering to extract the positive active material from the positive active layer of the positive electrode sheet, and drying to obtain a powder sample. The obtained powder sample can be used for laser particle size analyzer analysis and testing, or for other tests. In addition, the powder material extracted from the positive active layer can be sintered to remove organic components, thereby obtaining a powder sample of the positive active material.
[0147] Exemplarily, the powder sample of the positive active material can be prepared by the following method: disassemble the battery, take out the positive electrode sheet, soak and clean it with a solvent such as dimethyl carbonate to remove the residual electrolyte; scrape the powder material of the positive active layer, and use a solvent (such as N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), etc.) to fully soak the powder material extracted from the positive active layer to dissolve organic components such as binders in the solvent (ultrasonic dispersion and other methods can also be combined to promote dissolution), wash and filter, collect the solid phase, and then use the density difference to centrifuge to separate the relatively low-density conductive agent from the suspension, and collect the centrifuged precipitate to obtain the powder to be tested of the positive active material.
[0148] The elemental composition of the positive active material in the positive active layer can be analyzed by methods well known in the art, including but not limited to the following methods: inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP), X-ray diffraction (XRD), single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), etc. The sample preparation methods and test methods of these test methods are known to those skilled in the art, and the test parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to the sample characteristics. The ICP method can be used for quantitative test analysis of the component content in the positive active material.
[0149] The detection of the cathode active material in the cathode active layer can be carried out by disassembling the battery cell after full discharge, taking out the cathode electrode, scraping the material of the cathode active layer, and using elemental analysis methods such as inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometry to test and analyze the types and proportions of elements, so as to confirm the elemental composition and chemical formula of the cathode active material.
[0150] The particle size of the primary particles in the cathode active material can be counted by using the particle morphology map of the cathode active material, and then the average particle size of the primary particles in the cathode active material can be obtained. The particle morphology map of the cathode active material can adopt the test results of a scanning electron microscope (such as ZEISS Sigma 300, JEOL scanning electron microscope, Axia ChemiSEM scanning electron microscope, etc.). The sample to be tested can be obtained by laying and sticking the powder sample of the cathode active material on the conductive adhesive, or the cross-section of the cathode electrode can be used for SEM testing. Without limitation, the SEM test can refer to JY / T(001)-1996. Randomly select one or more regions in the sample to be tested for scanning test, and based on the SEM images at a certain magnification, count the particle sizes of each primary particle and the occurrence frequencies of different particle sizes in the scanned region, and then calculate the average particle size of each primary particle counted. Without limitation, the magnification of a single scanning region can be, for example, 1500X, further, for example, 1000X, but not limited thereto. To improve the accuracy of the statistical results, multiple regions can be randomly selected for scanning. The statistical quantity of the primary particles can be several hundred, or greater than or equal to 1000, or greater than or equal to 2000. Increasing the statistical quantity of the primary particles is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the statistical results.
[0151] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the maximum diameter of the primary particles in each direction in the SEM morphology map of the cathode active material is denoted as "the particle size of the primary particles in the cathode active material".
[0152] In some embodiments, the average particle size (D1) of the primary particles in the cathode active material can be 100nm - 500nm, optionally 150nm - 500nm, further optionally 150nm - 450nm, still further optionally 200nm - 450nm, and can also be any one of the following values or a range composed of any two of the following values: 100 nm, 110 nm, 120 nm, 140nm, 150 nm, 160 nm, 180 nm, 200 nm, 220 nm, 240 nm, 250 nm, 260 nm, 280 nm, 300 nm, 350nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, 500 nm, etc.
[0153] By controlling the "average particle size (D1) of primary particles in the positive electrode active material" within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to better balance the increase in the negative electrode interface impedance indirectly caused by water in the positive electrode active material and the influence of the lithium ion transport path on the internal resistance of the battery, and it is beneficial to better take into account the normal temperature performance while significantly improving the high temperature performance of the battery.
[0154] In some embodiments, the water absorption rate of the positive electrode active material is 50 ppm / h to 85 ppm / h, and it can also be any one of the following values or a range composed of any two of the following values: 50 ppm / h, 55 ppm / h, 60 ppm / h, 65 ppm / h, 70 ppm / h, 75 ppm / h, 80 ppm / h, 85 ppm / h, etc. The unit of the "water absorption rate of the positive electrode active material" represents the increase in the water content per unit time, and the "water content" refers to the mass ratio of water in the sample; existing methods in the art can be used for testing, which can include but are not limited to the Karl Fischer method for testing the water content. Unless otherwise specified, the testing method in the following example part can be used for testing.
[0155] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate-based positive electrode material includes a carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate-based positive electrode material, and the carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate-based positive electrode material includes a lithium-containing phosphate matrix and a carbon coating layer located on at least a part of the surface of the lithium-containing phosphate matrix.
[0156] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "coated positive electrode active material" includes a positive electrode active body and a coating layer located on at least a part of the surface of the positive electrode active body.
[0157] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate-based positive electrode material" is a coated positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active body includes a lithium-containing phosphate matrix, and the coating layer includes a carbon coating layer. Further, the carbon coating layer can include one or more of soft carbon, hard carbon, and amorphous carbon. "Soft carbon" and "hard carbon" have well-known meanings in the art. Soft carbon can be graphitized after further high-temperature treatment, while hard carbon is difficult to graphitize even after further high-temperature treatment. In this application, unless otherwise specified, "amorphous carbon" refers to a transition carbon material with a very low degree of graphitization crystallization, approximately in an amorphous form (or without a fixed shape and periodic structural rules).
[0158] By providing a carbon coating layer on the surface of the lithium-containing phosphate-based positive electrode material, the specific surface area of the material may be increased, and then the water absorption rate of the material surface may be increased. At this time, through the synergistic effect of controlling the average particle size (D1) of primary particles in the positive electrode active material and introducing an alkaline alkyne additive, it is possible to take into account better normal temperature performance while significantly improving the high temperature performance of the battery.
[0159] In some embodiments, the specific surface area (BET 1 ) of the positive electrode active material can be 5 m 2 / g to 18 m 2 / g, optionally 5 m 2 / g to 16 m 2 / g, further optionally 5 m 2 / g to 15 m 2 / g, still further optionally 5.5 m 2 / g to 12 m 2 / g, still further optionally 5.5 m 2 / g to 10 m 2 / g, or can also be any of the following values or a range composed of any two of the following values: 5 m 2 / g, 5.5 m 2 / g, 6 m 2 / g, 6.5 m 2 / g, 7 m 2 / g, 7.5 m 2 / g, 8 m 2 / g, 8.5 m 2 / g, 9 m 2 / g, 9.5 m 2 / g, 10 m 2 / g, 10.5 m 2 / g, 11 m 2 / g, 12 m 2 / g, 13 m 2 / g, 14 m 2 / g, 15 m 2 / g, 16 m 2 / g, etc.
[0160] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "specific surface area" of the positive electrode active material has the well-known meaning in the art. It can be tested by the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area analysis test method and calculated by the BET (Brunauer Emmett Teller) method. Among them, the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area analysis test can be carried out by the Tri Star II specific surface area and pore size analyzer of Micromeritics Company in the United States, and the test steps can refer to GB / T 19587-2004. The detailed steps are as follows: Use nitrogen as the adsorption gas, and calculate the specific surface area of the material by the BET method; Take the sample to be tested and add it to the BET test tube until it reaches 2 / 3 of the bottom bulb, and heat the sample for degassing; After cooling to room temperature, backfill nitrogen to remove the vacuum and block the sample tube mouth with a stopper, and record the sample weight; Remove the stopper, add a filling rod, install the sample tube to the instrument analysis station, and start the test after inputting the sample weight. Before the test, the sample to be tested can be dried first.
[0161] For a lithium-ion secondary battery, exemplarily, a lithium-ion secondary battery including a positive electrode active material comprising a carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate-based positive electrode material, by controlling the "specific surface area (BET 1 )" within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to better control the water absorption rate of the positive electrode active material, and at the same time, it can better inhibit the side reactions at the high-temperature interface, which is beneficial to better improving the high-temperature performance of the battery while also taking into account good room-temperature performance.

[0167] In some embodiments, the carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate cathode material satisfies one or more of the following characteristics (any numerical parameter in the following characteristics can also be selected from any suitable value or range in the context):
[0168] (a1’) The graphitization degree (G 1 ) of the carbon coating is 40% to 90%, optionally 40% to 85%;
[0169] (a2’) The mass ratio (F B ) of the carbon coating in the carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate cathode material is 0.8% to 2%;
[0170] (a3’) The average thickness (D B ) of the carbon coating is 1 nm to 5 nm;
[0171] The maximum thickness (D max ) of the carbon coating layer is less than or equal to 10 nm, and optionally less than or equal to 8 nm.
[0172] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "graphitization degree" has its well-known meaning in the art and can be used to measure the degree to which the crystal of the carbon material approaches perfect graphite. The graphitization degree can be tested by using instruments and methods known in the art. As a non-limiting example, an X-ray diffractometer can be used for testing. The X-ray diffractometer can be of models such as Bruker D8 Discover, Bruker D8 advance, etc., but is not limited thereto. The test can refer to JIS K 0131-1996, JB / T4220-2011. First, measure the interlayer spacing d 002 of the (002) crystal plane of the carbon material, and the interlayer spacing of the (002) crystal plane can be calculated using the Bragg equation; then, according to the Franklin formula (Mering-Maire formula), calculate G = (0.3440 - d 002 ) / (0.3440 - 0.3354) × 100% to obtain the graphitization degree, where G is the graphitization degree (%), 0.3440 is the interlayer spacing of non-graphitized carbon (nm), 0.3354 is the interlayer spacing of an ideal graphite crystal (half of the lattice constant of the c-axis of hexagonal graphite, nm), and d 002 is the interlayer spacing of the (002) crystal plane of the carbon material expressed in nanometers (nm). It should be noted that in order to obtain a more accurate d 002 value, Si powder can be incorporated to correct the diffraction angle to reduce errors. The graphitization degree of the carbon coating layer in the carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate cathode material can be denoted as G 1 . The higher the graphitization degree, the higher the degree to which the carbon material crystal approaches perfect graphite.
[0173] For a lithium-ion secondary battery whose positive electrode active material includes a carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate cathode material, by controlling "the carbon coating layer has a relatively high graphitization degree (G 1 )", or controlling "the mass ratio (F B ) of the carbon coating layer in the carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate cathode material", "the average thickness (D B ) of the carbon coating layer" and "the maximum thickness (D max ) of the carbon coating layer" to have relatively low values of one or more of these parameters, it is beneficial to reduce the water absorption rate of the positive electrode active material, reduce or delay the consumption of the negative electrode interface of the alkaline alkyne additive, and reduce the growth rate of the negative electrode interface impedance, which is beneficial to better balance the room temperature performance.
[0174] For a lithium-ion secondary battery in which the positive electrode active material includes a carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode material, by controlling the graphitization degree of the carbon coating layer within the aforementioned range, it is possible to better coordinate the water absorption rate on the material surface, the conductivity of the carbon coating layer, and the ion diffusion impedance of the carbon coating layer, and better balance the influence of the carbon coating layer on the internal resistance of the battery and the inhibitory effect of the carbon coating layer on the side reactions at the positive electrode interface, so as to better improve the high-temperature performance of the battery while also taking into account good room-temperature performance.
[0175] Exemplarily, controlling a relatively high graphitization degree within the aforementioned range of graphitization degrees is beneficial to reducing the water absorption rate on the material surface and increasing the conductivity of the carbon coating layer while also better controlling the ion diffusion impedance.
[0176] Exemplarily, controlling a relatively low graphitization degree within the aforementioned range of graphitization degrees is beneficial to reducing the ion diffusion impedance of the carbon coating layer while also better controlling the conductivity and water absorption rate.
[0177] By controlling one or two or all three of "the mass ratio of the carbon coating layer in the carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode material (F B )", "the average thickness of the carbon coating layer (D B )", and "the maximum thickness of the carbon coating layer (D max )" within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to control the positive electrode active material to have a low water absorption rate, and it is also beneficial to reduce the influence of the ion diffusion impedance on the internal resistance of the battery, which is beneficial to better taking into account the room-temperature performance of the battery.
[0178] For the positive electrode active material or the negative electrode active material including a coating layer (examples of the coating layer such as a carbon coating layer), after using methods such as FIB (focused ion beam) and CP (ion beam cross-section polishing) to perform particle cutting to obtain a cross-section, the cross-sectional morphology of the particles can be observed under TEM (transmission electron microscope, such as JEM-F200, Thermo Scientific-Talos F200S G2, etc.). An obvious boundary can be observed at the coating interface. Based on the TEM images, the thickness, average thickness, and maximum thickness of the coating layer at multiple positions in a single particle can be analyzed and calculated. The average thickness of the coating layer in the coated material can be calculated based on the average thickness of the coating layer of multiple particles, and the maximum thickness of the coating layer in the coated material can be calculated based on the maximum thickness of the coating layer of multiple particles. For a single particle, the number of sampling positions for analyzing the average thickness of its coating layer can be greater than or equal to 5, and further can be greater than or equal to 10; the number of particles to be statistically analyzed can be greater than or equal to 3, and further can be greater than or equal to 5. Further, by combining one or more of methods such as energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis and Raman spectroscopy, the types and contents of substances in the coating layer and the positive electrode active material body can be respectively confirmed, or the types and contents of substances in the coating layer and the negative electrode active material body can be respectively confirmed.
[0179] In some embodiments, the D v 50 (denoted as D v 50 1 ) of the positive electrode active material can be 1 μm to 5 μm, optionally 1 μm to 4 μm, further optionally 1.5 μm to 4 μm, still further optionally 1.5 μm to 3.5 μm, and can also be any of the following values or a range composed of any two of the following values: 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, etc. Without limitation, the D v 50 of the positive electrode active material can also be selected from any suitable range among the following ranges: 1 μm to 3 μm, 1.5 μm to 3 μm, 2 μm to 5 μm, 2 μm to 4.5 μm, 2 μm to 3.5 μm, etc.
[0180] In this application, unless otherwise specified, D v 50 refers to the particle size corresponding to when the cumulative volume distribution percentage of the material reaches 50%. This parameter indicates that the particle size of 50% of the material volume is less than or equal to D v 50, and the particle size of 50% of the material volume is greater than D v 50. Those skilled in the art can understand the meaning of D v 50, and can use the instruments and methods well-known in the art for measurement. For example, it can be conveniently measured with reference to GB / T 19077-2016 Laser diffraction method for particle size distribution, using a laser particle size analyzer, such as the Mastersizer 2000E type laser particle size analyzer of Malvern Instruments Limited in the UK, the LS-909 laser particle size analyzer (Omec). Further, for equipment models such as the Malvern 2000 (MasterSizer 2000) laser particle size analyzer, the test can be carried out with reference to the standard process GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009.
[0181] By making the "D v 50 (denoted as D v 50 1When the control is within the foregoing range, the degree of aggregation of the primary particles can be adjusted by combining with the joint control of the average particle size (D1) of the primary particles, the specific surface area and the water absorption rate can be better controlled, and the ion transport path of the overall positive electrode active material particles can also be better controlled. Based on the synergy of the foregoing effects, but not limited to the foregoing theory, it is beneficial to better control the internal resistance of the battery, and it is beneficial to better balance the battery's normal temperature performance while significantly improving the battery's high-temperature performance. In some examples, for a lithium-ion secondary battery in which the positive electrode active material includes a carbon-coated lithium-containing phosphate-based positive electrode material, the influence of the carbon coating layer on the specific surface area, water absorption rate, conductivity, ion diffusion impedance, and side reactions at the positive electrode interface can also be better balanced, and the battery's normal temperature performance can be better balanced while significantly improving the battery's high-temperature performance.
[0182] In some embodiments, the following method can be used to measure D of the positive electrode active material v 50, etc. Using a Malvern 2000 (MasterSizer 2000) laser particle size analyzer, referring to the standard process: GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009, the detailed test process includes: taking an appropriate amount of the sample to be tested, adding a solvent (the solvent can be deionized water, and the sample concentration can be controlled at 8% - 12% light obscuration), and performing ultrasonic treatment for 5 min (53KHz / 120W) to fully disperse the sample. Then, the sample is measured according to the GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009 standard. Non-limiting examples of the solvent include deionized water, etc. After the sample is poured into the injection tower, it circulates with the solution to the test optical path system. When the particles are irradiated by the laser beam, the particle size distribution characteristics of the particles can be obtained by receiving and measuring the energy distribution of the scattered light. According to the test data, a particle size volume distribution diagram is drawn, and parameters such as D v 50, etc. can be obtained from the distribution diagram. To avoid the influence of aggregation during the drying process on the particle size measurement, the washed and wet sample is taken for dispersion testing. The washing reagent can be anhydrous ethanol, but is not limited thereto.

[0199] By controlling the content of the silicon-based material in the negative electrode active material and / or the type of the positive electrode active material within the foregoing ranges, the expansion and contraction changes of the negative electrode can be better controlled, the generation of fresh interfaces can be reduced, the side reactions at the negative electrode interface can be inhibited, which is beneficial to reducing the consumption rate of the alkaline alkyne additives, reducing the growth rate of the battery internal resistance, and is conducive to better balancing the battery's room temperature performance. Exemplarily, among the silicon-based materials, the silicon-carbon composite material has relatively low volume expansion and contraction changes.
[0200] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes a coated negative electrode material, and the coated negative electrode material includes a negative electrode active body and a carbon coating layer covering at least a part of the negative electrode active body. It can be understood that the chemical composition of the carbon coating layer is different from that of the negative electrode active body.

[0201] In some embodiments, the carbon coating layer in the coated negative electrode material is one of a soft carbon coating layer, a hard carbon coating layer, and an amorphous carbon coating layer. It can be understood that the material composition of the soft carbon coating layer is mainly soft carbon, the material composition of the hard carbon coating layer is mainly hard carbon, and the material composition of the amorphous carbon coating layer is mainly amorphous carbon.
[0202] In some embodiments, the coated negative electrode material includes coated graphite, and the negative electrode active body in the coated graphite includes a graphite body. Without limitation, the mass ratio of the coated graphite in the negative electrode active material can be 80% to 100%, optionally 90% to 100%, further optionally 92% to 100%, still further optionally 95% to 100%, still further optionally 95% to 98%, and can also be any one of the following percentages or a range composed of any two of the following percentages: 80%, 82%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%, etc.
[0203] In the present application, "coated graphite" is a coated anode material. The anode active body in the coated graphite includes a graphite body; the coated graphite includes a graphite body and a carbon coating layer covering at least a part of the surface of the graphite body.
[0204] By providing a coated anode material (such as coated graphite) including a carbon coating layer in the anode active material, the lithium-ion transport channels on the surface of the anode active material can be optimized to promote lithium-ion transport. It is also beneficial to inhibit side reactions at the anode interface and inhibit the increase in interface impedance caused by the participation of alkaline alkyne additives in film formation, which is conducive to better controlling the internal resistance of the battery and the room-temperature performance of the battery.
[0205] In some embodiments, the coated anode material is coated graphite, and in this case, the anode active body is a graphite body.
[0206] Those skilled in the art can identify the components in the positive electrode active layer and the negative electrode active layer by one or more of the following detection methods known in the art, including but not limited to: Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum ( 1 1H NMR) method, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) method, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, mass spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) method, X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, Raman spectroscopy method, single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) method, inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP) method, energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analysis, etc. The sample preparation methods and test methods of these test methods are known to those skilled in the art, and the test parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to the structure of the material or substance and the characteristics of the sample.
[0207] As a non-limiting example, EDS can be used to distinguish carbon elements and silicon elements, and thus distinguish carbon-based materials and silicon-based materials. For another example, the type and content of the conductive agent can be detected by EDS, but not limited thereto.
[0208] Taking the anode active material including natural graphite and artificial graphite as a non-limiting example, natural graphite and artificial graphite can be distinguished by the appearance morphology of the particles; X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and testing can be further carried out. In the XRD pattern, if the characteristic peak near 2θ 26.5° is very sharp and has a high intensity, it is natural graphite; if the characteristic peak near 2θ 26.5° is relatively wide and has a weak intensity, it is artificial graphite.
[0209] In this application, a test sample of the "negative electrode active material" in the negative electrode sheet of a lithium-ion secondary battery can be obtained by disassembling the battery, taking out the negative electrode sheet, and using methods such as solvent washing, ultrasonic dispersion, centrifugal separation, and fractional sedimentation to extract the negative electrode active material from the negative electrode active layer of the negative electrode sheet, and then drying to obtain a powder sample. The obtained powder sample can be used for chemical composition analysis tests or other tests.
[0210] In some embodiments, in a lithium-ion secondary battery, the mass percentage of the alkaline alkyne additive in the electrolyte (C A ) can be less than or equal to 3.5%, optionally 0.01% - 3.5%, further optionally 0.05% - 2.5%, still further optionally 0.1% - 2.5%, still further optionally 0.2% - 2.5%, and can also be any one of the following percentages or a range composed of any two of the following percentages: 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.08%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, 0.25%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.2%, 3.4%, 3.5%, etc. Without limitation, C A can also be selected from the following ranges: 0.1% - 3.5%, 0.1% - 3%, 0.1% - 2.5%, 0.05% - 2%, 0.2% - 3.5%, 0.2% - 3%, 0.05% - 4%, 0.1% - 4%, 0.2% - 4%, 0.3% - 4%, etc.
[0211] By controlling the "mass percentage of the alkaline alkyne additive in the electrolyte (C A )" within the foregoing range, the alkaline alkyne additive can continuously play a role in repairing the SEI film during cycling and / or storage, which is more beneficial to significantly improving the high-temperature performance while also taking into account good room-temperature performance.
[0212] In some embodiments, the additive includes a negative electrode film-forming additive different from the alkaline alkyne additive.
[0213] "Negative electrode film-forming additive" refers to an additive that can decompose at the working potential of the negative electrode and participate in the formation of the negative electrode SEI film. The higher the reduction potential of the negative electrode film-forming additive, that is, the more positive the potential value relative to Li / Li⁺, the earlier the negative electrode film-forming additive decomposes, and thus the earlier it participates in the formation of the negative electrode SEI film. It can be understood that some negative electrode film-forming additives can also participate in the formation of the interface film (CEI film) at the positive electrode. Generally, those skilled in the art can judge whether a certain additive can participate in the formation of the negative electrode SEI film through methods such as reduction potential analysis, decomposition product and SEI film composition analysis, and electrochemical performance verification; exemplarily, the reduction potential of the additive can be measured by cyclic voltammetry in a simulated battery environment (such as a lithium metal counter electrode); exemplarily, chemical composition analysis methods including but not limited to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) can be used to analyze the composition of the SEI film; exemplarily, it can be judged whether a certain additive introduced can participate in the formation of the negative electrode SEI film according to the changes in performance indicators such as the initial Coulomb efficiency, cycle stability, and impedance spectrum when the additive is introduced or not.

[0363] In some embodiments, a method for preparing a lithium-ion secondary battery is provided, which includes the following steps:
[0364] S100: Placing an electrode assembly including a positive electrode plate, a separator, and a negative electrode plate in a battery housing; wherein, a separator is provided between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate;
[0365] S200: Inject a first electrolyte solution into the battery housing, let it stand still to allow the first electrolyte solution to soak the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, and then perform formation; wherein, the first electrolyte solution includes an electrolyte salt, a non-aqueous solvent, and an additive; the additive includes an alkaline alkyne additive, and the alkaline alkyne additive contains a Lewis base nitrogen heterocycle.

[0370] The prepared lithium-ion secondary battery has the advantages of the lithium-ion secondary battery described in the first aspect of this application.
[0371] Non-limitingly, the formation temperature can be 45 °C, but is not limited thereto.
[0372] In some embodiments, the formation can be carried out at 45 °C by a method including the following steps (steps S1, S2, and S3 are carried out in sequence):
[0373] S1) Charge at 0.05C to 6% SOC, and let it stand still for 5 min;

[0376] End the formation.
[0377] SOC (State of Charge) represents the state of charge. When "SOC = 0", it means the battery is fully discharged, and when "SOC = 100%", it means the battery is fully charged.
[0378] Those skilled in the art are aware that after formation treatment, the contents of some additive components in the electrolyte may change. As a non-limiting example, for some film-forming additive components, their contents decrease because they participate in the formation of the solid electrolyte interface film on the positive electrode and / or the negative electrode. As a non-limiting example, compared with the electrolyte before formation treatment, the content of alkaline alkyne additives in the electrolyte usually decreases after formation treatment.
[0379] The electrolyte injected before formation can be denoted as the first electrolyte; when the electrolyte is supplemented and injected after formation, the electrolyte supplemented and injected after formation can be denoted as the second electrolyte. In this application, the "first" and "second" in the "first electrolyte" and "second electrolyte" are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or quantity, nor can they be understood as implicitly indicating the importance or quantity of the indicated technical features.
[0380] In some embodiments, in the step of injecting the electrolyte (denoted as the first electrolyte) into the battery housing, the mass percentage of the alkaline alkyne additive in the first electrolyte can be 0 to 3%, optionally 0 to 2.5%, further optionally 0 to 2%, still further optionally 0.1% to 2%, still further optionally 0.1% to 1.5%, still further optionally 0.1% to 1%, and can also be any one of the following percentages or a range composed of any two of the following percentages: 0.1%, 0.12%, 0.14%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.18%, 0.2%, 0.22%, 0.24%, 0.25%, 0.26%, 0.28%, 0.3%, 0.35%, 0.4%, 0.45%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.75%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.8%, 3%, etc. After formation, optionally, a second electrolyte containing alkaline alkyne additives can be supplemented and injected into the battery housing to adjust the mass percentage of the alkaline alkyne additive in the electrolyte to the desired concentration. For example, in the prepared lithium-ion secondary battery, the mass percentage of the alkaline alkyne additive in the electrolyte can be, but is not limited to, 0.01% to 3.5%, 0.1% to 3.5%, 0.2% to 3.5%, etc.
[0381] By controlling the mass percentage of the alkaline alkyne additive in the first electrolyte within the aforementioned range, the consumption of the alkaline alkyne additive for forming a film on the negative electrode during the formation stage can be controlled, which is beneficial to reducing the initial interfacial impedance of the negative electrode. Further, the mass percentage of the alkaline alkyne additive in the first electrolyte can be controlled to be greater than 0. At this time, the initial interfacial impedance of the negative electrode can be well controlled, and the initial stability of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film of the negative electrode can be significantly improved. Based on the aforementioned multiple effects, but not limited to the aforementioned theory, it is beneficial to better improve the room temperature performance and extend the room temperature cycle life and / or room temperature storage life.
[0382] In some embodiments, a second electrolyte containing an alkaline alkyne additive is supplemented and injected after formation.
[0383] In other embodiments, a second electrolyte containing an alkaline alkyne additive is not supplemented and injected after formation.
[0384] It can be understood that after formation or after supplementing and injecting the second electrolyte, before preparing the lithium-ion secondary battery, other steps can also be included, such as aging. In some non-limiting examples, aging is carried out at 45 °C for 48 h, but not limited thereto.
[0385] The alkaline alkyne additive involved in this application can be obtained commercially or synthesized by existing methods in the field of organic chemical synthesis. When the chemical structure of the alkaline alkyne additive is selected, those skilled in the art can select a suitable organic synthesis method to prepare the target compound; further, those skilled in the art can also identify the structure of the prepared alkaline alkyne additive by one or more of the following detection methods including but not limited to: nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum ( 1 1H NMR) method, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MADI-TOF) method, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) method, etc.

Soluble salts of metals (such as nitrates, chlorides, etc.) can be added in the sol-gel method to generate corresponding metal nanoparticles during carbonization to achieve catalytic graphitization. Without limitation, the graphitization degree of the carbon coating layer can be adjusted by means such as adjusting the carbonization temperature, the carbonization time, and selectively adding a metal catalyst.
[0390] In addition, other methods known in the art can also be used to regulate the graphitization degree of the carbon coating layer on the surface of the positive electrode active material. For example, a higher graphitization degree can be achieved by using methods such as chemical vapor deposition and high-temperature instantaneous annealing, but not limited thereto.
[0391] When carbon coating is carried out on the surface of the negative electrode active body to prepare a coated negative electrode material, the carbon source can be pitch, phenolic resin, etc., but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, taking the example of using pitch for amorphous carbon coating: pitch (the softening point of pitch is such as 70°C to 150°C) is carbonized at 400°C to 700°C for 1 h to 3 h. The heating rate for carbonization treatment can be 1°C / min to 3°C / min.

[0400] Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present application will be described. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application and its applications. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0401] For those not specified in the embodiments in terms of techniques or conditions, they shall be carried out according to the descriptions above, or according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the art, or according to the product specifications. For those reagents or instruments not specified in terms of the manufacturer, they are all conventional products that can be obtained through commercial purchase, or can be synthesized from commercially available products in a conventional manner.
[0402] In the following embodiments, room temperature refers to 20 °C to 30 °C.
[0403] In the following examples, unless otherwise specified, the parameters involved can be confirmed with reference to the test methods described in the previous text. For example, regarding the average particle size of the primary particles in the positive electrode active material, after obtaining the particle morphology map of the positive electrode active material by using a scanning electron microscope (such as ZEISS Sigma 300, JEOL scanning electron microscope, Axia ChemiSEM scanning electron microscope, etc.), statistics can be carried out. Regarding the D v 50 of the positive electrode active material, it can be tested by using a Malvern 2000 (MasterSizer2000) laser particle size analyzer. Regarding the specific surface area of the positive electrode active material, it can be tested by using the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area analysis test method. The nitrogen adsorption specific surface area analysis test is carried out by using a Tri StarII type specific surface area and pore analyzer of Micromeritics Company in the United States, and the specific surface area is calculated by the BET (Brunauer Emmett Teller) method. Regarding the carbon coating layer, it can be tested and analyzed by using a transmission electron microscope JEM-F200 combined with EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectrometer), and the mass percentage (such as F B ), average thickness (such as D B ), maximum thickness (such as D max ), etc. of the parameters can be determined. Regarding the graphitization degree of the carbon coating layer, it can be tested and calculated by using an X-ray diffractometer. For another example, regarding the test of the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, a DDSJ-318 conductivity meter is used, and the detection method of HG-T 4067-2015 is referred to. Regarding the various organic components and inorganic components in the prepared lithium-ion secondary battery, they can be tested with reference to relevant standards such as "General Rules for Gas Chromatography of Chemical Reagents GB / T 9722-2023".
[0404] Among them, taking compound IIa ( , 2-propyn-1-yl 1H-imidazole-1-carboxylate) as an example, the structure identification and quantitative analysis can be carried out by the following method:
[0405] In the nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum, the H in the methylene group connected to the triple bond can have a characteristic peak near 4.677 ppm; the hydrogen between the two nitrogen atoms in the imidazole ring can have a characteristic peak near 8.095 ppm; calculate the integral area of each characteristic peak, and then compare it with the peak integral area of the internal standard trifluoromethylbenzene, and the content of compound IIa can be quantitatively calculated.
[0406] The mass fraction of the additive in the electrolyte can be detected by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The test steps can be as follows: Add 500 μL of deuterated reagent into a nuclear magnetic tube in a glove box filled with nitrogen, take 100 μL of non-aqueous electrolyte sample and add it into the nuclear magnetic tube, shake the nuclear magnetic tube to dissolve the non-aqueous electrolyte into the deuterated reagent, and perform the test using the bench-top nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer X-Pulse of Oxford Instruments. Since the non-aqueous electrolyte is very sensitive to moisture, the proton NMR test and sample preparation are both carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere (H 2 O content is less than 0.1 ppm, O 2 content is less than 0.1 ppm), and at the same time, the instruments related to the test also need to be washed with pure water in advance and dried in a vacuum environment at 60 °C for more than 48 hours. Among them, the deuterated reagent is prepared according to the following steps: Dry deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO-d6), deuterated acetonitrile, and trifluoromethylbenzene with 4A molecular sieves at a temperature above 25 °C for more than 3 days to make the water content of all reagents less than 3 ppm. The moisture test instrument can be the 831 KF type coulometric moisture tester of Metrohm Ltd., Switzerland. Then, in a glove box filled with nitrogen, take 10 mL of the dried DMSO-d 6 and 300 μL of the dried internal standard trifluoromethylbenzene and mix them evenly to obtain the first solution. Take 10 mL of the dried deuterated acetonitrile and 300 μL of the dried internal standard trifluoromethylbenzene and mix them evenly to obtain the second solution. Mix the first solution and the second solution evenly to obtain the deuterated reagent.
[0407] In the following examples, the electrolyte salt is taken as an electrolyte lithium salt, and compound IIa is taken as a non-limiting example of the basic alkyne additive.
[0408] In the following examples, the positive electrode active material is a lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode material, further a lithium iron phosphate-based positive electrode material, and more specifically, carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate (which can be denoted as carbon-coated LFP) is taken as an example.
[0409] In the following examples, regarding carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate, carbon coating can be carried out under the following conditions: Mix the lithium iron phosphate precursor prepared by the co-precipitation method with the carbon source glucose, and perform sintering heat treatment at 550 °C to 900 °C to form lithium iron phosphate (the positive electrode active body) and the carbon coating covering the surface of lithium iron phosphate, and obtain carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate. The graphitization degree of the carbon coating layer can be regulated by adjusting one or more of the parameters such as the sintering temperature and sintering time. Those skilled in the art can also combine or adopt other known carbon coating methods (such as chemical vapor deposition method, high-temperature instantaneous annealing method, etc., one or more of these methods) to achieve a relatively high graphitization degree, such as about 90%. For example, adopting the primary particle average diameter and D of the positive electrode active material in Example 1 vA cathode active body with a particle size D50 similar to that of Comparative Example 50 was used, and the graphitization degree of the carbon coating layer in the carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate was adjusted to 88%. A lithium ion secondary battery was also prepared by substantially the same method as in Example 1. At this time, it was also possible to significantly improve the high-temperature performance of the battery while achieving good room-temperature performance.
[0410] In the carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate used in the following Examples 1-14, the mass ratio of the carbon coating layer in the carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate was in the range of 0.5% to 2.5%, further in the range of 0.8% to 2%; the average thickness of the carbon coating layer was in the range of 1 nm to 8 nm, further in the range of 1 nm to 5 nm, and the maximum thickness of the carbon coating layer satisfied ≤ 12 nm. In most examples, the maximum thickness of the carbon coating layer satisfied ≤ 10 nm. It can be understood that the specific surface area of the cathode active material can be adjusted by adjusting the carbon coating amount.
[0411] The D50 of the cathode active material used in the following Examples 1-14 v was in the range of 1 μm to 5 μm. Exemplarily, the D50 of the cathode active material in Example 1 v was about 3 μm.
[0412] In the lithium ion secondary batteries prepared in the following Examples 1-14, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at 25 °C was controlled in the range of 8 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm. Exemplarily, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at 25 °C in Example 1 was about 11 mS / cm.
[0413] In the following examples, based on the total mass of the first electrolyte and the second electrolyte, the mass ratio of the first electrolyte can be 80% to 100%. In Example 1, the mass ratio of the first electrolyte was 80%.

[0448] II. Test and analysis methods
[0449] 1. Test of the water absorption rate of the positive electrode active material
[0450] The test temperature was 25°C ± 0.5°C. A dry powder sample to be tested was taken, and the initial test value of the water content was recorded as A 1 ppm. The sample to be tested was placed in a humidity environment of 90% RH for 12 h, and the water content of the powder was tested. The water content value after 12 h was recorded as B 2 ppm. Then, the water absorption rate of the sample to be tested was calculated by the following formula: water absorption rate = (B 2 -A 1 ) ppm / 12 h.
[0451] The test method for the water content was as follows: Karl Fischer moisture analyzer, and the test accuracy was ppm (one in a million); the test result of the water content was based on the mass ratio of the powder to be tested.
[0452] For the test results of some examples, reference can be made to Table 1.
[0453] 2. Room temperature cycling performance (25°C)
[0454] At 25°C, the battery to be tested was charged at a constant current of 0.5C to 3.65V, then charged at a constant voltage of 3.65V until the cut-off current was 0.05C, left standing for 10 minutes, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.5C to 2.5V, left standing for 5 minutes. This was one charge-discharge cycle. The discharge capacity at this time was recorded as C 0Repeat this charge-discharge cycle process for the same battery, and record the discharge capacity C of the 1st cycle, 2nd cycle, …, nth cycle. n , where the number of cycles is at least 300 cycles.
[0455] Record the cycle capacity retention rate P300 of the battery after 300 cycles = C 300 / C 0 ×100%.
[0456] The test results can be referred to "Capacity retention rate after 300 cycles at room temperature". The higher the test value, the better the room temperature cycle life.
[0457] 3. Test of initial DC internal resistance (DCR) after room temperature cycling:
[0458] Perform DCR test on the battery after cycle test using the method of "2. Room temperature cycle performance (25 °C) method".
[0459] At 25 °C, charge the battery under test at a constant current of 0.5C to 3.65V, then charge at a constant voltage until the current drops to 0.05C; discharge the battery at a constant current of 0.5C for 30 minutes to adjust the battery to 50% SOC, and record the voltage of the battery at this time as U1; discharge the battery at a constant current of 4C for 30 seconds, with a sampling point every 0.1 second, and record the voltage at the end of discharge as U2. Use the discharge DCR of the battery at 50% SOC to represent the initial DCR of the battery, and the initial DCR of the battery = (U1 - U2) / I, where I is the current value corresponding to 4C.
[0460] The test results can be referred to "Battery DCR after room temperature cycling" in Table 3.
[0461] The initial DCR (DCR 0 ) of the fabricated lithium-ion secondary battery can also be tested using the same method.
[0462] 4. High temperature cycle performance (60 °C)
[0463] At 60 °C, charge the battery under test at a constant current of 1C to 3.65V, then charge at a constant voltage of 3.65V until the current drops to 0.05C, let it stand for 5 min, and then discharge at a constant current of 1C to 2.5 V. This is the first charge / discharge cycle of the battery, and the discharge capacity of this time is recorded as the discharge capacity (C1) of the first cycle of the battery; repeat the above steps for the same battery, the process capacity (Cn) of the battery after the nth cycle, and the capacity retention rate after n cycles = Cn / C1×100%. Record the capacity retention rate when the number of cycles is 600.
[0464] The test results can be referred to "Capacity retention rate after 600 cycles at 60 °C".
[0465] The more the number of cycles, the better the high-temperature cycle life represents.
[0466] III. Test analysis results
[0467] The water absorption rates of the cathode active materials used in Examples 1-14 are all in the range of 50 ppm / h to 85 ppm / h.

[0469]
[0470] In the process of preparing a lithium-ion secondary battery, the mass percentages of the alkaline alkyne additive, other anode film-forming additives, and electrolyte salts in the electrolyte can be referred to Table 2.
[0471] Table 2.
[0472]
[0473] In the prepared lithium-ion secondary battery, when disassembling the battery cell to test the electrolyte components: in Example 7, the mass ratio of additive B to the alkaline alkyne additive is in the range of 0.1 to 50, and the mass percentage of additive B in the electrolyte is in the range of 0.1% to 1%, and further in the range of 0.1% to 0.3%; in Example 8, the mass ratio of additive C to the alkaline alkyne additive is in the range of 0.02 to 50, and the mass percentage of additive C in the electrolyte is in the range of 0.1% to 1%, and further in the range of 0.1% to 0.3%; in Examples 9-10, the mass ratios of additive D to the alkaline alkyne additive are all in the range of 0.1 to 100, and the mass percentages of additive D in the electrolyte are all in the range of 0.1% to 2%, and further all in the range of 0.1% to 0.5%.
[0474] The battery performance test results of Examples 1-14 and Comparative Examples 1-5 can be referred to Table 3.
[0475] The lithium-ion secondary batteries prepared in Examples 1-14 all have good room-temperature performance while having significantly improved high-temperature performance.
[0476] Comparative Example 1 omits the alkaline alkyne additive compared to Example 1, and the high-temperature performance and room-temperature performance of Comparative Example 1 both deteriorate significantly. Similarly, Comparative Example 2 omits the alkaline alkyne additive compared to Example 14, and the high-temperature performance and room-temperature performance of Comparative Example 2 both deteriorate significantly.
[0477] Comparative Example 3 replaces the alkaline alkyne additive in Example 1 with an alkyne additive without a Lewis base-containing nitrogen heterocycle, and the high-temperature performance and room-temperature performance of Comparative Example 3 both deteriorate significantly.
[0478] Comparative Examples 4-5 respectively adjusted the average primary particle size D1 of the positive electrode active material based on Examples 2 and 3. The high temperature performance and room temperature performance of Comparative Examples 4-5 were deteriorated compared with Examples 2 and 3, respectively.
