[0005] In a first aspect, this application proposes a battery cell. The battery cell includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode tab, a negative electrode tab and a separator. The separator is located between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab. The positive electrode tab includes a positive current collector portion and at least one surface disposed along the thickness direction of the positive electrode tab and including a positive electrode film layer containing a positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure. The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , the negative electrode tab includes a negative current collector portion and at least one surface disposed along the thickness direction of the negative electrode tab and including a negative electrode film layer containing a negative electrode active material.

[0009] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly has a stacked structure, and the positive electrode tab ears are disposed on both sides of the positive current collector along the length direction of the positive electrode tab. The positive electrode tab ears are disposed on both sides of the positive current collector along the length direction, so that the current in the length direction of the positive current collector is evenly divided by the positive electrode tab ears on both sides. The electron transmission path is short, and the current distribution is more uniform. The delithiation state of each part of the positive electrode tab is uniform, and the charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0010] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly has a stacked structure. The size of the positive electrode film layer along the length direction of the positive electrode tab, that is, the length of the positive electrode film layer, is 200 mm to 400 mm, and V 1 is 3.20 V to 3.225 V. The positive electrode film layer with the above size in combination with the above discharge platform voltage is beneficial to further improving the energy density of the battery cell.

The positive electrode film layer with the above size in combination with the above discharge platform voltage is beneficial to further improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0012] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly has a wound structure, and the positive electrode sheet, the separator, and the negative electrode sheet are wound in the same direction, and V 1 is from 3.215 V to 3.235 V. The wound-structure electrode assembly in combination with the above discharge platform voltage is conducive to further improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0013] In some embodiments, the negative active material further includes a silicon-based material, and V 1 is from 3.190 V to 3.230 V. The above negative active material in combination with the discharge platform voltage is conducive to further improving the energy density of the battery cell.

The above negative active material in combination with the discharge platform voltage is conducive to further improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0015] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly has a stacked structure, and V 1 is from 3.190 V to 3.218 V. The stacked-structure electrode assembly in combination with the silicon-containing negative active material and the above discharge platform voltage is conducive to further improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0016] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly has a wound structure, and V1 is from 3.210 V to 3.230 V. The wound-structure electrode assembly in combination with the silicon-containing negative active material and the above discharge platform voltage is conducive to further improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0017] In some embodiments, when discharging the battery cell in an external environment at 25 °C, the battery cell has a discharge platform voltage V during the discharge process from 100% state of charge at a constant current of 2C to 2.0 V 2 , V 2 / V 1 is from 0.942 to 0.975.

[0018] In some embodiments, V 2 is from 3.05 V to 3.15 V.
[0019] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2When the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the positive electrode sheet will not be excessive, and it can also take into account the improvement of the energy density of the battery cell.
[0020] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is 90 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 170 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 and can be optionally 110 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 150 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 When the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the negative electrode sheet will not be excessive, and it can also take into account the improvement of the energy density of the battery cell.
[0021] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer of the battery cell at 100% state of charge is 2.50 g / cm 3 to 2.80 g / cm 3 When the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell. And because the positive active materials in the positive electrode film layer are stacked relatively tightly, the contact resistance between particles is relatively small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0022] In some embodiments, at 100% state of charge of the battery cell, the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is 1.15 g / cm 3 to 1.36 g / cm 3 When the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell. And because the negative active materials in the negative electrode film layer are stacked relatively tightly, the contact resistance between particles is relatively small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0023] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the positive active material is 1 Ω•cm to 27.5 Ω•cm. The relatively low powder resistivity of the positive active material makes the resistance of the positive electrode sheet relatively low, and the heat generation of the battery cell is less.
[0024] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the positive active material under 30000 N is 2.46 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm 3 When the powder compaction density of the positive active material under 30000 N is within the above range, it can improve the energy density of the battery cell. And because the positive active materials in the positive electrode film layer can be stacked more tightly, the contact resistance between particles is relatively small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0025] In some embodiments, the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C is 150 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g. When the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.
[0026] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate of olivine structure includes phosphate particles and a coating layer. The coating layer coats the phosphate particles, and the coating layer contains one or more elements of C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn. By coating the surface of the phosphate particles with the coating layer, the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate of olivine structure can be improved, the powder resistivity of the material can be reduced, and it is beneficial to the migration rate of lithium ions and reduces the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0027] In some embodiments, the phosphate particles include a compound with the general formula Li x1 A y1 Me a M b P 1-c X c Y z where 0.5 ≤ x 1 ≤ 1.3, 0 ≤ y 1 ≤ 1.3, and 0.9 ≤ x 1 + y 1 ≤ 1.3, 0.9 ≤ a ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ b ≤ 0.5, and 0.9 ≤ a + b ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.5, 3 ≤ z ≤ 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, and N, and Y includes one or more of O and F. The phosphate particles have relatively excellent cycle stability, which is beneficial to improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0028] In some embodiments, the coating layer includes a fast ion conductor with the general formula Li 3-d Fe 2-d M2 d (PO x2 ) y2 , M2 includes one or more elements of Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn, 0 ≤ d ≤ 1, 0 < x 2 <5, 0 < y 2< 4. Coating the surface of phosphate particles with a fast ion conductor can significantly improve the transport rate of lithium ions during multiple deintercalation / insertion at the positive electrode, enhance the ionic conductivity of the positive electrode active material, thereby increasing the specific capacity, and further improving the energy density of the corresponding battery cell.
[0029] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is from 0.15 to 0.32; optionally from 0.19 to 0.26. When the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is within the above range, it is beneficial to enhance the conductivity of the positive electrode active material, reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode sheet, and thus reduce the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0030] In some embodiments, the mass content of carbon element in the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is 1% to 2%, and the specific surface area of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is 5m 2 / g to 18m 2 / g, optionally 7.5m 2 / g to 14m 2 / g.
[0031] Thus, in the embodiments of the present application, the carbon element with the above mass content in combination with the material with the above specific surface area is more conducive to the effective contact between the electrolyte and the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure, and is beneficial to the transport of lithium ions at the phase interface.
[0032] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size of the positive electrode active material satisfies: 1µm ≤ Dv50 ≤ 2µm, and / or 0.4µm ≤ Dv10 ≤ 0.7µm, and / or 15µm ≤ Dv99 ≤ 25µm.
[0033] The particle size of the positive electrode active material is relatively small, the deintercalation / insertion path of lithium ions in the positive electrode active material is short, and the heat generation is less; moreover, the particle size of the above positive electrode active material is not too small, and basically no agglomeration occurs during the processing and preparation, so that the performance of the positive electrode active material is stable.
[0034] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is in granular form, the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure includes secondary particles, and the secondary particles include a plurality of primary particles, and the average particle size of the primary particles is from 200nm to 500nm. The average particle size of the primary particles is relatively small, the deintercalation / insertion path of lithium ions in the positive electrode active material is short, and the heat generation is less.
[0035] In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the positive electrode current collector part to the total thickness of the single-sided positive electrode film layer is 0.06 to 0.10. When the positive electrode sheet satisfies the above range, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector part is relatively thin, which can provide more coating space for the positive electrode film layer, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery cell and being beneficial to improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0036] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer further includes a first material, which includes one or more of ternary materials, lithium phosphate, lithium hydrogen phosphate, lithium sulfate, lithium sulfite, lithium molybdate, lithium oxalate, lithium titanate, lithium tetraborate, lithium metasilicate, lithium manganate, lithium tartrate, trilithium citrate, lithium nickelate, and lithium ferrate. As a lithium supplement agent, the first material can supplement lithium ions to the positive electrode film layer, make up for the irreversible loss of lithium ions in the system, and improve the capacity, thereby enhancing the energy density of the battery cell.
[0037] In some embodiments, the mass content of the first material in the positive electrode film layer is 0.5% to 5%. When the mass content of the lithium supplement agent is within the above range, it can supplement lithium ions to the positive electrode film layer, make up for the irreversible loss of lithium ions in the system, and improve the capacity, thereby enhancing the energy density of the battery cell.
[0038] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 10 μm to 15 μm. When the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is within the above range, the current-carrying capacity of the positive electrode current collector is relatively excellent, and the battery cell can have a high energy density.
[0039] In some embodiments, the positive electrode plate further includes a positive electrode conductive layer, which is located between the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode conductive layer can further improve the conductivity of the positive electrode plate and reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode plate, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0040] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is 0.5 μm to 2 μm. When the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is within the above range, it can further improve the conductivity of the positive electrode plate and reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode plate, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell; and it can also take into account the improvement of the energy density of the battery cell.
[0041] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive layer includes one or more of a positive electrode conductive agent and a positive electrode binder. The positive electrode conductive agent in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the conductivity of the positive electrode conductive layer, thereby improving the conductivity of the positive electrode plate and reducing the heat generation of the battery cell; the positive electrode binder in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the bonding performance between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode film layer and enhance the structural stability of the positive electrode plate.
[0042] In some embodiments, the positive electrode 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.
[0043] In some embodiments, 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 fluorinated acrylate resins.
[0044] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material is from 0.005 Ω·cm to 0.043 Ω·cm. The relatively low powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material results in a relatively low resistance of the negative electrode sheet, and less heat generation in the battery cell.
[0045] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the negative electrode active material under 20000 N is 1.5 g / cm 3 to 1.85 g / cm 3 . When the powder compaction density of the negative electrode active material under 20000 N is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved. Moreover, since the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer can be stacked more tightly, the contact resistance between particles is small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0046] In some embodiments, the charging specific capacity of the negative electrode active material at a rate of 0.1 C is greater than or equal to 350 mAh / g. When the charging specific capacity of the negative electrode active material at a rate of 0.1 C is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.
[0047] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes a carbon-based material, the carbon-based material includes graphite particles, and the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is from 92.0% to 94.5%. When the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is within the above range, the electrical conductivity of the graphite particles is relatively excellent, which can reduce the heat generation of the negative electrode sheet, reduce the heat generation of the battery cell, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0048] In some embodiments, the graphite particles include artificial graphite and a carbon coating layer, the artificial graphite includes secondary particles, and the carbon coating layer coats the surface of the artificial graphite. The carbon coating layer has more end faces and defects, so that the number of sites capable of intercalating and deintercalating lithium ions is larger, and the electrical conductivity of the carbon coating layer is relatively excellent, which can reduce the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet and reduce the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0049] In some embodiments, based on the mass of the graphite particles, the mass content of the carbon coating layer is from 2% to 5%. When the mass content of the carbon coating layer is within the above range, the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet can be further reduced, and the heat generation of the battery cell can be reduced.
[0050] In some embodiments, the porosity of the negative electrode film layer is from 40% to 55%. When the porosity of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the migration rate of lithium ions and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0051] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer is a single-layer film layer, the negative electrode active material is granular, and the volume-average particle size of the negative electrode active material is 8.2 μm to 13.5 μm. When the volume-average particle size of the negative electrode active material is within the above range, the negative electrode film layer can have an excellent pore structure, which is beneficial to improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0052] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a first negative electrode film layer and a second negative electrode film layer. The first negative electrode film layer is disposed on the surface of the negative electrode current collector portion. The first negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material. The second negative electrode film layer is connected to the side of the first negative electrode film layer facing away from the negative electrode current collector portion. The second negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material. The carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer and the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer each independently include graphite particles, and the volume-average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is greater than or equal to the volume-average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer.
[0053] Thus, in the embodiments of the present application, there is a difference in the particle sizes of the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer, which can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell. Specifically, during fast charging, the overpotential of the second negative electrode film layer is usually higher, and the bottleneck of fast charging mainly lies in the second negative electrode film layer. In the embodiments of the present application, the particle size in the second negative electrode film layer is relatively small, which can shorten the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions, improve the fast charging performance, and improve the problem of lithium deposition on the surface layer of the negative electrode plate.
[0054] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer further includes natural graphite.
[0055] In some embodiments, the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer. When the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is greater than the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer, the second negative electrode film layer is filled more densely, which improves the energy density of the battery cell. The first negative electrode film layer is filled relatively sparsely and has more pores, which can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0056] In some embodiments, the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is 0.82 g / cm 3 to 1.21 g / cm 3 . When the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is within a suitable range, the fast charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0057] In some embodiments, the tapped density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is 0.90 g / cm 3 to 1.25 g / cm 3When the tap density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is within a suitable range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved. In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is 9.5 μm to 18.5 μm. When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the fast charging performance can be improved.
[0058] In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer is 7.8 μm to 14.3 μm. When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the tortuosity of lithium ion transport can be reduced, and the fast charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0059] In some embodiments, the first negative electrode film layer further includes a first lithium-containing binder, and the second negative electrode film layer further includes a second lithium-containing binder. The mass content of the first lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the mass content of the second lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the second negative electrode film layer.
[0060] Thus, in the embodiments of the present application, the mass content of the second lithium-containing binder in the second negative electrode film layer is relatively high, and the number of freely movable lithium ions provided by the second lithium-containing binder for the second negative electrode film layer is relatively more, which can further improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0061] In some embodiments, the mass content of the first lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the first negative electrode film layer is 0.1% to 1%. When the mass content of the first lithium-containing binder is within the above range, the insertion / extraction rate of lithium ions can be improved, and the fast charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0062] In some embodiments, the mass content of lithium element in the first lithium-containing binder is 3% to 10%, and can be optionally 3% to 8%. When the mass content of lithium element is within the above range, the number of freely movable lithium ions in the negative electrode film layer can be relatively large, which can further shorten the distance for lithium ions to diffuse to the surface of the negative electrode film layer, improve the insertion / extraction rate of lithium ions, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0063] In some embodiments, the mass content of the second lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the second negative electrode film layer is 0.1% to 1%. When the mass content of lithium element in the second lithium-containing binder is within the above range, the insertion / extraction rate of lithium ions is improved, and the fast charging performance of the battery cell is improved.
[0064] In some embodiments, the mass content of lithium element in the second lithium-containing binder is 3% to 10%, optionally 3% to 8%. When the mass content of lithium element is within the above range, the number of free-moving lithium ions in the negative electrode film layer can be relatively large, which can further shorten the distance for lithium ions to diffuse to the surface of the negative electrode film layer, improve the intercalation and deintercalation rate of lithium ions, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0065] In some embodiments, the first lithium-containing binder includes a lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer, and the lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer is derived from a lithium acrylate monomer, an acrylonitrile monomer, an acrylamide monomer, and a 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer. The molar ratio of the lithium acrylate monomer, the acrylonitrile monomer, the acrylamide monomer, and the 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer is (0.3 - 0.5):(0.15 - 0.45):(0.05 - 0.2):(0.2 - 0.35).
[0066] Thus, the lithium-containing binder of the above material can provide a certain number of lithium ions for the negative electrode film layer, improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell; and it is not prone to swelling during charge and discharge, with a stable structure, so that the cycle performance of the negative electrode film layer is improved during fast charge and discharge.
[0067] In some embodiments, the second lithium-containing binder includes a lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer, and the lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer is derived from a lithium acrylate monomer, an acrylonitrile monomer, an acrylamide monomer, and a 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer. The molar ratio of the lithium acrylate monomer, the acrylonitrile monomer, the acrylamide monomer, and the 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate monomer is (0.3 - 0.5):(0.15 - 0.45):(0.05 - 0.2):(0.2 - 0.35).
[0068] Thus, the lithium-containing binder of the above material can provide a certain number of lithium ions for the negative electrode film layer, improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell; and it is not prone to swelling during charge and discharge, with a stable structure, so that the cycle performance of the negative electrode film layer is improved during fast charge and discharge.
[0069] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is 4 μm to 6 μm. When the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is within the above range, the current-carrying capacity of the negative electrode current collector is relatively excellent, and the battery cell can have a relatively high energy density.
[0070] In some embodiments, the negative electrode plate further includes a negative electrode conductive layer, and the negative electrode conductive layer is located between the negative electrode film layer and the negative electrode current collector.
[0071] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode conductive layer is 0.5 μm to 2 μm. The negative electrode conductive layer can further improve the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet, reduce the heat generation of the negative electrode sheet, and thus reduce the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0072] In some embodiments, the negative electrode conductive layer includes one or more of a negative electrode conductive agent and a negative electrode binder.

[0116] With the development of the battery field, the performance requirements for batteries are getting higher and higher, especially the requirements for the energy density and fast charging performance of batteries are gradually increasing, while the related technologies are difficult to balance the energy density and fast charging performance of batteries.
[0117] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of this application have designed the system of the battery cell. The electrode sheet has a small resistance, which is beneficial to improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell; by adjusting the discharge voltage platform of the battery cell, the battery cell has a high energy density.
[0118] battery cell In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell.
[0119] The battery cell includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode tab, a negative electrode tab, and a separator. The separator is located between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab. Among them, the positive electrode tab includes a positive current collector and at least one surface disposed along the thickness direction of the positive electrode tab and including a positive electrode active material layer containing a positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate in an olivine structure; the negative electrode tab includes a negative current collector and at least one surface disposed along the thickness direction of the negative electrode tab and including a negative electrode active material layer containing a negative electrode active material. The negative electrode active material includes a carbon-based material. The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm. In a 25°C external environment, during the discharge process of the battery cell from 100% state of charge at a constant current rate of 0.33C to 2.0V, there is a discharge platform voltage V 1 , V 1 is 3.19V to 3.235V.
[0120] The positive electrode active material in the positive electrode tab can provide lithium, and lithium can be in the form of ions. Lithium ions escape from the positive electrode active material and migrate through the electrolyte to the negative electrode tab, and gain electrons at the negative electrode tab. The negative electrode active material in the negative electrode tab can receive lithium, and lithium can be embedded in the negative electrode active material in the form of a metal single substance, or form an alloy with the negative electrode active material, etc. The positive electrode active material in the positive electrode tab includes a lithium-containing phosphate in an olivine structure, and the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode tab includes a carbon-based material. The material system structure is more stable, and the cycle stability of the material system is relatively excellent; The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode active material layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm, which is beneficial to achieving the fast charging performance and excellent cycle performance of the battery cell; and there is a discharge platform voltage V during the discharge process 1 , making the energy density of the battery cell relatively high.
[0121] The upper charging limit voltage and the lower discharge cut-off voltage of the battery cell vary according to the different cathode active materials. For example, when the phosphate material includes lithium iron phosphate, the upper charging limit voltage can be 3.65V and the lower discharge cut-off voltage can be 2.0V. Another example is when the phosphate material includes lithium manganese iron phosphate, the upper charging limit voltage can be 4.3V and the lower discharge cut-off voltage can be 2.0V. Next, taking the upper charging limit voltage of 3.65V and the lower discharge cut-off voltage of 2.0V as an example, the discharge platform voltage V of the battery cell 1 will be described: Charge the battery cell at a constant current charging rate of 0.33C to the upper charging limit voltage, and then charge at a constant voltage to 0.05C, corresponding to the state of 100% SOC of the battery cell. Discharge the battery cell at a constant current discharge rate of 0.33C to the cut-off voltage, corresponding to the state of 0% SOC of the battery cell.
[0122] Place the battery cell at 25°C, discharge it at a constant current rate of 0.33C to 2.0V, let it stand for 30 minutes, charge it at a constant current rate of 0.33 to 3.65V, and then charge at a constant voltage of 3.65V to 0.05C. After standing for 2 hours, discharge it at a constant current rate of 0.33C to 2.0V, and record the discharge energy W, discharge capacity A0, and discharge platform voltage V at this time 1 The calculation method is W / A0. Unit of W: Wh, unit of A0: Ah.
[0123] Place the battery cell at 25°C, discharge it at a constant current rate of 0.33C to 2.0V, let it stand for 2 hours, charge it at a constant current rate of 0.33 to 3.65V, and then charge at a constant voltage of 3.65V to 0.05C. Record the charging energy W, charging capacity A0, and calculate the charging platform voltage with the method of W / A0. Unit of W: Wh, unit of A0: Ah.
[0124] In some embodiments, when discharging the battery cell in an external environment of 25°C, the battery cell has a discharge platform voltage V during the discharge process from 100% state of charge at a constant current rate of 2C to 2.0V 2 , V 2 / V 1 is from 0.942 to 0.975, such as 0.942, 0.945, 0.948, 0.950, 0.952, 0.955, 0.958, 0.960, 0.962, 0.965, 0.968, 0.970, 0.972, 0.975 or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0125] Taking the upper charging limit voltage of 3.65V and the lower discharge cut-off voltage of 2.0V as an example, the discharge platform voltage V of the battery cell 2 will be described: Charge the battery cell at a constant current charge rate of 0.33C to the upper charge limit voltage, and then charge it at a constant voltage to 0.05C, corresponding to the state of 100% SOC of the battery cell.
[0126] Place the battery cell at 25°C and discharge it at a constant current rate of 0.33C to 2.0V, let it stand for 30 min, charge it at a constant current rate of 0.33 to 3.65V, and then charge it at a constant voltage of 3.65V to 0.05C. After standing for 2 h, discharge it at a rate of 2C to 2.0V, and record the discharge energy W, discharge capacity A0, and discharge platform voltage V at this time. 2 The calculation method is W / A0. Unit of W: Wh, unit of A0: Ah.
[0127] As the discharge rate increases, the current is relatively large, which easily causes the polarization of the battery cell to increase during discharge, resulting in the discharge voltage decreasing to the discharge cut-off voltage in advance, making the discharge incomplete and the capacity not fully utilized; while in the embodiment of the present application, the discharge platform voltages of the battery cell during discharge at a rate of 0.33 and the battery cell during discharge at a rate of 2C are similar, and the battery cell discharges relatively completely during discharge at rates of 0.33 and 2C, with good rate performance, which is beneficial to the utilization of the energy density of the battery cell.
[0128] Optionally, V 2 can be from 3.05V to 3.15V, such as 3.05V, 3.06V, 3.07V, 3.08V, 3.09V, 3.10V, 3.11V, 3.12V, 3.13V, 3.14V, 3.15V or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0129] The electrode assembly can be a wound electrode assembly or a stacked electrode assembly.
[0130] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly is a stacked electrode assembly, and the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode plate, a separator, and a negative electrode plate arranged in a stacked manner.
[0131] In the case where the electrode assembly is a stacked electrode assembly, V 1 is from 3.19V to 3.225V. Optionally, V 1 is from 3.200V to 3.225V. Exemplarily, the discharge platform voltage of the electrode assembly is 3.190V, 3.195V, 3.200V, 3.205V, 3.215V, 3.220V, 3.225V or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0132] The discharge platform voltage V of the stacked electrode assembly 1When within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and the discharge platform voltage will not be too high. The interface side reaction rate in the battery cell is low, which is beneficial to reducing the internal resistance DCR of the battery cell and improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0133] The negative electrode active material includes a carbon-based material. Optionally, the negative electrode active material also includes a silicon-based material. In the case where the negative electrode active material includes a silicon-based material and a silicon-based material, the electrode assembly is a laminated electrode assembly. 1 The discharge platform voltage of the battery cell is relatively small, which makes the interface side reaction between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte less and the reaction rate lower, which can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell. And because the negative electrode active material includes silicon-based materials, the energy density of the battery cell is higher.
[0134] The positive electrode sheet also includes a positive electrode tab, which is arranged on at least one side of the positive current collector, and the positive electrode tab is arranged on at least one side of the positive current collector along the width direction of the positive electrode sheet, and optionally, the positive electrode tab is arranged on both sides of the positive current collector along the width direction of the positive electrode sheet. Alternatively, the positive electrode tab is arranged on at least one side of the positive current collector along the length direction of the positive electrode sheet, and optionally, the positive electrode tab is arranged on both sides of the positive current collector along the length direction of the positive electrode sheet.
[0135] The current transmission path in the length direction is longer, and the current distribution in the length direction is uneven. The positive electrode ears are arranged on both sides of the positive electrode current collecting part along the length direction, so that the current of the positive electrode current collecting part in the length direction is evenly divided by the positive electrode ears on both sides. The electron transmission path is shorter and the current distribution is more uniform. The lithium desorption state of each part of the positive electrode sheet is uniform, and the charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0136] The negative electrode tab is arranged on at least one side of the negative current collector, and the negative electrode tab is arranged on at least one side of the negative current collector along the width direction of the negative electrode sheet, and optionally, the negative electrode tab is arranged on both sides of the negative current collector along the width direction of the negative electrode sheet. Alternatively, the negative electrode tab is arranged on at least one side of the negative current collector along the length direction of the negative electrode sheet, and optionally, the negative electrode tab is arranged on both sides of the negative current collector along the length direction of the negative electrode sheet.
[0137] The current transmission path in the length direction is longer, and the current distribution in the length direction is uneven. The negative electrode ears are arranged on both sides of the negative electrode current collecting part along the length direction, so that the current of the negative electrode current collecting part in the length direction is evenly divided by the negative electrode ears on both sides. The electron transmission path is shorter and the current distribution is more uniform. The lithium insertion state of each part of the negative electrode plate is uniform, and the charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0138] Optionally, the length of the positive electrode film layer is from 200 mm to 1000 mm, such as 200 mm, 250 mm, 300 mm, 350 mm, 400 mm, 450 mm, 500 mm, 550 mm, 600 mm, 650 mm, 700 mm, 750 mm, 800 mm, 850 mm, 900 mm, 950 mm, 1000 mm or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0139] When the length of the positive electrode film layer is relatively short, such as from 200 mm to 400 mm, the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is relatively low, which is not conducive to the improvement of energy density. In the embodiments of the present application, V 1 is from 3.20 V to 3.225 V, so that the capacity of the battery cell is more fully exerted during the discharge process, and the improvement of energy density can be further enhanced.
[0140] When the length of the positive electrode film layer is relatively long, such as greater than 400 mm and less than or equal to 1000 mm, the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is relatively high, so that the energy density is relatively large. In this case, in combination with a discharge platform voltage of 3.19 V to 3.218 V, a relatively low interfacial side reaction rate can be taken into account, the internal resistance DCR of the battery cell can be reduced, and it is beneficial to improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0141] In the case where the electrode assembly is a wound electrode assembly, the positive electrode tab can be a whole-piece structure, the separator can be a whole-piece structure, and the negative electrode tab can be a whole-piece structure. The positive electrode tab, the separator and the negative electrode tab are wound in the same direction to form an electrode assembly.
[0142] The coating weight of the wound electrode assembly is relatively low, which is not conducive to the improvement of energy density. In the embodiments of the present application, V 1 is from 3.215 V to 3.235 V, so that the capacity of the battery cell is more fully exerted during the discharge process, and the improvement of energy density can be further enhanced.
[0143] The negative electrode active material includes a carbon-based material. Optionally, the negative electrode active material further includes a silicon-based material. In the case where the negative electrode active material includes a carbon-based material and a silicon-based material, the electrode assembly is a wound electrode assembly, V 1 is from 3.190 V to 3.230 V. The discharge platform voltage of the battery cell is relatively small, so that the interfacial side reaction between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte is less, and the reaction rate is lower, which can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell. Moreover, since the negative electrode active material includes a silicon-based material, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.
[0144] The positive electrode tab further includes a positive electrode tab, which is disposed on at least one side of the positive current collector portion. The positive electrode tab is disposed on at least one side of the positive current collector portion along the width direction of the positive electrode tab. Optionally, the positive electrode tab is disposed on both sides of the positive current collector portion along the width direction of the positive electrode tab. Alternatively, the positive electrode tab is disposed on at least one side of the positive current collector portion along the length direction of the positive electrode tab. Optionally, the positive electrode tab is disposed on both sides of the positive current collector portion along the width direction of the positive electrode tab.
[0145] The negative electrode tab is disposed on at least one side of the negative current collector portion. The negative electrode tab is disposed on at least one side of the negative current collector portion along the width direction of the negative electrode tab. Optionally, the negative electrode tab is disposed on both sides of the negative current collector portion along the width direction of the negative electrode tab. Alternatively, the negative electrode tab is disposed on at least one side of the negative current collector portion along the length direction of the negative electrode tab. Optionally, the negative electrode tab is disposed on both sides of the negative current collector portion along the width direction of the negative electrode tab.
[0146] From the perspective of appearance, the electrode assembly includes a main body portion, a positive electrode tab, and a negative electrode tab, and the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab protrude from the main body portion. The positive electrode tab is the part of the positive electrode tab that is not coated with the active material layer, and the negative electrode tab is the part of the negative electrode tab that is not coated with the active material layer. The positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab are used to lead out the current in the main body portion. The positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab can extend from the same side of the main body portion or can extend from opposite sides respectively.
[0147] Optionally, the positive electrode tab can extend from both sides of the main body portion. The current is evenly distributed in the main body portion, so that the delithiation state of each part of the positive electrode tab is uniform, and the charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0148] Optionally, the negative electrode tab can extend from both sides of the main body portion. The current is evenly distributed in the main body portion, so that the lithium intercalation state of each part of the negative electrode tab is uniform, and the charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0149] The negative active material in the embodiment of the present application includes a carbon-based material.
[0150] Optionally, the carbon-based material includes graphite particles, and the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is 92.0% to 94.5%. Exemplarily, the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is 92.0%, 92.5%, 93%, 93.5%, 94%, 94.5% or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0151] When the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is within the above range, the conductive performance of the graphite particles is relatively excellent, which can reduce the heat generation of the negative electrode tab and the heat generation of the battery cell; and can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0152] In some embodiments, the graphite particles include artificial graphite and a carbon coating layer. The artificial graphite includes secondary particles, the secondary particles include a plurality of primary particles, and the carbon coating layer coats the surface of the artificial graphite. The carbon in the carbon coating layer is mainly amorphous carbon, which refers to a transitional carbon material with a very low degree of graphitization crystallization and an approximately amorphous form (or no fixed shape and periodic structural rules). In the present application, amorphous carbon refers to the product after carbonization treatment of an organic carbon source.
[0153] The artificial graphite includes secondary particles. There are more migration paths for lithium ions in the artificial graphite, and the migration path in the primary particles is shorter, which can improve the migration rate of lithium ions. The carbon coating layer has more end faces and defects, resulting in a larger number of sites where lithium ions can be intercalated and deintercalated, making the conductivity of the carbon coating layer relatively excellent, capable of reducing the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet and the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0154] Optionally, based on the mass of the graphite particles, the mass content of the carbon coating layer is 2% to 5%. Exemplarily, the mass content of the carbon coating layer is 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5% or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0155] When the mass content of the carbon coating layer is within the above range, it can further reduce the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet and the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0156] In the embodiments of the present application, the graphite particles can be prepared by methods well-known in the art. For example, the preparation method includes: providing artificial graphite and an organic carbon source, mixing the two, and after carbonization treatment, forming a carbon coating layer on at least part of the surface of the artificial graphite particles.

When the carbonization treatment temperature is within a suitable range, the organic carbon source can be carbonized and a coating layer containing amorphous carbon can be formed on at least part of the surface of the artificial graphite.
[0159] Optionally, the carbonization treatment time is 1h to 6h.
[0160] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material may further include natural graphite. Specifically, the carbon-based material may include graphite particles, or the carbon-based material may include graphite particles and natural graphite. Optionally, the carbon-based material is graphite particles.
[0161] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material may further include a silicon-based material. The introduction of the silicon-based material can improve the capacity of the negative electrode active material and increase the energy density of the battery cell. When the negative electrode active material includes a carbon-based material and a silicon-based material, V 1 is from 3.190 V to 3.230 V. The discharge platform voltage of the battery cell is relatively small, resulting in fewer side reactions and a lower reaction rate at the interface between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte, which can improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell. Moreover, since the negative electrode active material includes a silicon-based material, the battery cell has a relatively high energy density.
[0162] Optionally, based on the mass of the negative electrode active material, the mass content of silicon element in the silicon-based material is from 0.3% to 10.0%, and may be optionally from 1% to 6%. Exemplarily, the mass content of silicon element in the silicon-based material is 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.2%, 3.5%, 3.8%, 4%, 4.2%, 4.5%, 4.8%, 5%, 5.2%, 5.5%, 5.8%, 6%, 6.2%, 6.5%, 6.8%, 7%, 7.2%, 7.5%, 7.8%, 8%, 8.2%, 8.5%, 8.8%, 9%, 9.2%, 9.5%, 9.8%, 10% or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0163] When the mass content of silicon element in the silicon-based material is within the above range, the capacity of the negative electrode active material can be improved, and the energy density of the battery cell can be enhanced.
[0164] Optionally, the silicon-based material may include at least one of elemental silicon, silicon oxide, silicon-carbon composite, silicon-nitrogen composite, and silicon alloy material.
[0165] In some embodiments, in addition to the above-mentioned carbon-based material and the optional silicon-based material, the negative electrode active material may further include at least one of a tin-based material and lithium titanate. The tin-based material may include at least one of elemental tin, tin oxide, and tin alloy material.
[0166] In the present application, the qualitative and quantitative determination of each substance or each element can be performed using suitable equipment and methods known to those skilled in the art. The relevant detection methods can refer to domestic and foreign detection standards, domestic and foreign enterprise standards, etc. And those skilled in the art can also adaptively change certain detection steps / instrument parameters from the perspective of detection accuracy to obtain more accurate detection results. One detection method can be used for qualitative or quantitative determination, or several detection methods can be used in combination for qualitative or quantitative determination.
[0167] For example, the carbon-based material in the present application can be used to perform X-ray powder diffraction testing and qualitative analysis on the negative electrode sheet or the negative electrode active material in combination with the General Rules for X-ray Diffraction Analysis of JIS / K0131-1996.
[0168] [Positive electrode sheet] The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector portion and a positive electrode film layer provided on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector portion and including a positive electrode active material. For example, the positive electrode current collector portion has two surfaces opposite to each other in its own thickness direction, and the positive electrode film layer is provided on either one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode current collector portion.
[0169] In some embodiments, when the battery cell is in a 100% state of charge (SOC), the tap density of the positive electrode film layer is 2.50 g / cm 3 to 2.80 g / cm 3 ; optionally 2.55 g / cm 3 to 2.70 g / cm 3 . Exemplarily, when the battery cell is in a 100% state of charge (SOC), the tap density of the positive electrode film layer is 2.50 g / cm 3 , 2.52 g / cm 3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.56 g / cm 3 , 2.57 g / cm 3 , 2.58 g / cm 3 , 2.60 g / cm 3 , 2.62 g / cm 3 , 2.65 g / cm 3 , 2.68 g / cm 3 , 2.70 g / cm 3 , 2.72 g / cm 3 , 2.75 g / cm 3 , 2.78 g / cm 3 , 2.80 g / cm 3 or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0170] When the tap density of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell; and since the positive electrode active materials in the positive electrode film layer are stacked relatively tightly and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0171] In the embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer at 100% state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, the battery cell is charged at a constant current charging rate of 0.33C to the cut-off voltage, left standing for 1 minute, and then continued to be charged at a constant current charging rate of 0.1C to the cut-off voltage. At this time, the battery cell is at 100% SOC, and then the positive electrode plate is disassembled to measure the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer.
[0172] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 ; optionally 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . Exemplarily, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 210 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 220 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 230 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 250 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 260 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 270 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 280 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 290 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 300 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 310 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 320 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 340 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 350 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 360 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0173] When the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the positive electrode plate will not be excessive, and it is possible to take into account the improvement of the energy density of the battery cell. In the embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer in the battery cell at 100% state of charge (SOC) has the meaning well-known in the art, that is, the positive electrode plate of the battery cell at 100% SOC is disassembled, and the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is measured. For example, a positive electrode plate with single-sided coating (if it is a double-sided coated electrode plate, one side of the positive electrode film layer can be wiped off first) is punched into small round pieces with an area of S1, weighed, recorded as M1, and its thickness H1 is measured. Then, the positive electrode film layer of the above-mentioned weighed positive electrode plate is wiped off, the weight of the positive electrode current collector is weighed, recorded as M0, and its thickness H0 is measured. The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer = (the weight M1 of the positive electrode plate - the weight M0 of the positive electrode current collector) / S1, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer = the thickness H1 of the positive electrode plate - the thickness H0 of the positive electrode current collector, and the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer = the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer / the thickness of the positive electrode film layer.
[0174] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material is from 1 Ω·cm to 27.5 Ω·cm, optionally less than or equal to 20 Ω·cm, and optionally less than or equal to 11 Ω·cm. Exemplarily, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material can be 27.5 Ω·cm, 20 Ω·cm, 19 Ω·cm, 18 Ω·cm, 17 Ω·cm, 16 Ω·cm, 15 Ω·cm, 14 Ω·cm, 13 Ω·cm, 12 Ω·cm, 11 Ω·cm, 10 Ω·cm, 9 Ω·cm, 8 Ω·cm, 7 Ω·cm, 6 Ω·cm, 5 Ω·cm, 4 Ω·cm, 3 Ω·cm, 2 Ω·cm, 1 Ω·cm or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0175] The relatively low powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material results in a relatively low resistance of the positive electrode plate and less heat generation of the battery cell.
[0176] In the embodiments of the present application, the powder resistivity of the material has the meaning well-known in the art, and the well-known methods and equipment in the art can be used for detection. For example, according to the test standard GB / T30835-2014, a PRCD1100 powder resistivity meter is used for testing.
[0177] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is greater than or equal to 2.46 g / cm 3 , optionally 2.46 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm 3 . Exemplarily, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is 2.46 g / cm 3 , 2.47 g / cm3 , 2.48 g / cm 3 , 2.49 g / cm 3 , 2.5 g / cm 3 , 2.51 g / cm 3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.58 g / cm 3 , 2.60 g / cm 3 , 2.65 g / cm 3 , 2.68 g / cm 3 , 2.70 g / cm 3 , 2.72 g / cm 3 , 2.75 g / cm 3 , 2.78 g / cm 3 , 2.80 g / cm 3 or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0178] When the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material is within the above range under 30000 N, the energy density of the single battery can be improved. Moreover, since the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer can be stacked more closely and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0179] In the embodiments of the present application, the powder compaction density of the material has the meaning well-known in the art and can be detected by methods and equipment well-known in the art. Detection is carried out according to the test standard GB / T24533-2009. For example, a certain amount of positive electrode active material is taken as a sample and added to a mold with a bottom area of 1.327 cm 2 in a UTM7305 type electronic pressure testing machine, pressurized to 3000 kg (equivalent to 30000 N), kept under pressure for 30 s, then the pressure is released, kept for 10 s, and then the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under the action of 30000 N is recorded and calculated.
[0180] In some embodiments, the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C is from 150 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g, and optionally from 157 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g. Exemplarily, the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C is 150 mAh / g, 151 mAh / g, 152 mAh / g, 153 mAh / g, 154 mAh / g, 155 mAh / g, 156 mAh / g, 157 mAh / g, 158 mAh / g, 159 mAh / g, 160 mAh / g, 161 mAh / g, 162 mAh / g, 163 mAh / g, 164 mAh / g, 165 mAh / g, 166 mAh / g, 167 mAh / g, 168 mAh / g, 169 mAh / g, 170 mAh / g or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0181] When the charging specific capacity of the positive electrode active material at a rate of 0.1C is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.
[0182] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific capacity of the active material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be tested by the equipment and methods well-known in the art. The test method of the initial coulomb efficiency and the initial discharge specific capacity in Appendix G of the national standard GB / T 24533-2019 can be adopted. Using metallic lithium as the negative electrode and the sample electrode sheet containing the above materials as the positive electrode, a half-button cell is assembled. Under the condition of 23°C ± 2°C, the half-button cell is placed on a battery tester or other test equipment with the same performance, and the charging and discharging are carried out at a rate of 0.1C to obtain the discharging capacity, and then the capacity is divided by the mass of the active material of the electrode sheet to obtain the charging specific capacity parameter.
[0183] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure in the positive electrode active material can be greater than or equal to 80% and less than or equal to 100%. It can be considered that the positive electrode active material of the present application is a lithium-containing phosphate system with olivine structure. When the mass percentage of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is less than 100%, the positive electrode active material can also include common positive electrode active materials, such as at least one of lithium-containing transition metal oxides. Examples of the lithium-containing transition metal oxides can include but are not limited to at least one of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt oxide, lithium manganese cobalt oxide, lithium nickel manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide and their respective modified compounds.
[0184] Optionally, the mass percentage of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure in the positive electrode active material is 100%.
[0185] In the embodiments of the present application, the lithium-containing phosphate in the olivine structure can be phosphate particles or a material obtained by coating and modifying them. For example, the lithium-containing phosphate in the olivine structure includes phosphate particles and a coating layer, the coating layer covers the surface of the phosphate particles, and the coating layer contains one or more elements of C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn.
[0186] By coating the surface of the phosphate particles with a coating layer, the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate in the olivine structure can be improved, the powder resistivity of the material can be reduced, and it is beneficial to the migration rate of lithium ions, improving the fast charging ability of the battery and reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0187] In some embodiments, the phosphate particles include a compound with the general formula Li x1 A y1 Me a M b P 1-c X c Y z where 0.5 ≤ x 1 ≤ 1.3, 0 ≤ y 1 ≤ 1.3, and 0.9 ≤ x 1 + y 1 ≤ 1.3, 0.9 ≤ a ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ b ≤ 0.5, and 0.9 ≤ a + b ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.5, 3 ≤ z ≤ 5, A includes one or more of Na, K, Mg, Me includes one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, 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, Ce, X includes one or more of S, Si, Cl, B, C, N, and Y includes one or more of O, F. The phosphate particles have relatively excellent cycle stability, which is beneficial to improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0188] Exemplarily, the phosphate particles include one or more of LiFePO 4 、LiMnPO 4 、LiNiPO 4 、LiCoPO 4 . During the charge and discharge process of the battery cell, the insertion and extraction and consumption of active ions such as Li will occur, and the molar content of Li is different when the battery cell is discharged to different states. Regarding the cathode active materials LiFePO 4 、LiMnPO 4 、LiNiPO 4 、LiCoPO 4In the examples of the present invention, the molar content of Li is the initial state of the material, that is, the state before feeding. When the positive electrode active material is used in the battery system, the molar content of Li may change after charge and discharge cycles. 4 、LiMnPO 4 、LiNiPO 4 、LiCoPO 4 In the enumeration of etc., the molar content of oxygen O is only a theoretical value. The release of oxygen from the lattice will cause the molar content of oxygen O to change. In reality, the molar content of oxygen O will fluctuate. The above situations are all within the protection scope of the present application.
[0189] In some embodiments, the coating layer includes a general formula of Li 3-d Fe 2-d M2 d (PO x2 ) y2 The fast ion conductor M2 includes one or more elements selected from Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge and Sn, 0≤d≤1, 0<x 2 <5,0<y 2 <4.
[0190] Exemplarily, the fast ion conductor is a material having a NASICON structure, for example, lithium iron titanium phosphate Li 2 FeTi(PO 4 ) 3 、Lithium Zirconium Iron Phosphate Li 2 FeZr(PO 4 ) 3 、Lithium iron tin phosphate Li 2 FeSn(PO 4 ) 3 One or more of .
[0191] Fast ion conductors with NASICON structures are materials with ultrafast ion conduction capabilities, rich three-dimensional lithium ion diffusion and transmission channels, and have the advantages of high ion conduction efficiency and strong structural stability during multiple lithium removal and insertion processes. Coating fast ion conductors with NASICON structures on the surface of phosphate particles can significantly increase the transmission rate of lithium ions during multiple lithium removal / insertion at the positive terminal, improve the ionic conductivity of the positive electrode active material, and improve the fast charging capability of the battery cell. In addition, it can also increase the gram capacity and the energy density of the corresponding battery cell.
[0192] In some embodiments, the ion-conducting layer further includes carbon.
[0193] The carbon element and the fast ion conductor can be arranged in layers, for example, the carbon element is used as an independent carbon coating layer, and the fast ion conductor is used as an independent fast ion conductor layer. The carbon coating layer can be coated on the surface of the core portion, and the fast ion conductor layer is located on the surface of the carbon coating layer, that is, the fast ion conductor layer is located on the side of the carbon coating layer away from the core portion; or the fast ion conductor layer can be coated on the surface of the core portion, and the carbon coating layer is located on the surface of the fast ion conductor layer, that is, the carbon coating layer is located on the side of the fast ion conductor layer away from the core portion. Of course, the carbon element and the fast ion conductor can also be arranged in the same layer.
[0194] Optionally, the carbon coating layer can be coated on the surface of the fast ion conductor layer by a carbonization process of an organic carbon source (e.g., glucose, polyethylene glycol, etc.). The carbon coating layer can partially coat the fast ion conductor layer, or it can completely coat the fast ion conductor layer. The provision of the carbon coating layer can significantly improve the electronic conductivity of the core, make up for the defect of poor electronic conductivity of the core, and improve the energy density of the battery cell. Specifically, the provision of the carbon coating layer enables the positive electrode active material of the present application to have the following advantages: The carbon coating layer in the positive electrode active material of the present application provides a suitable channel for the transmission of electrons, which can significantly improve the conduction rate of electrons in multiple lithium de- and lithium insertion processes, improve the electronic conductivity of lithium-containing phosphates, improve the charging capacity of the corresponding battery cells, and also improve the energy density.
[0195] The carbon coating layer of the positive electrode active material of the present application is loose and porous, which enables the electrolyte to be in full and effective contact with the lithium-containing phosphate, thereby increasing the transmission rate of lithium ions at the interface and improving the charging capacity of the battery cell.
[0196] Coating a carbon coating on the surface of the lithium-containing phosphate can not only improve the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate, but also improve the structural stability of the positive electrode active material, effectively alleviate the iron dissolution of the positive electrode active material during long-term storage and cyclic use of the battery cell, thereby improving the cycle life of the battery cell. The positive electrode active material of the present application uses lithium-containing phosphate as a base material, giving full play to the advantages of low cost, high reliability and good cycle stability of lithium-containing phosphate, while using the ion-conducting layer (fast ion conductor layer and carbon coating layer) to solve the disadvantages of poor electronic conductivity and ion conductivity. The battery cell prepared by the positive electrode active material of the present application can improve the energy density of the battery cell while having excellent cycle performance. In the embodiments of the present application, the content of elements in the positive electrode active material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, referring to EPA 6010D-2014, it is tested by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, and determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES, instrument model: Thermo ICAP7400). After discharging the battery cell to 0% state of charge (SOC), the positive electrode plate is disassembled, washed with DMC and dried, and then the binder is burned off at high temperature to obtain the positive electrode active material to be tested. Weigh 0.4 g of the positive electrode active material, and add 10 ml (50% concentration) of aqua regia to it. Then place it on a flat plate at 180 °C for 30 min. After digestion on the flat plate, it is made up to a volume of 100 mL, and quantitative testing is carried out by the standard curve method.

[0198] When the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the positive electrode active material, reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode plate, and thus reduce the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0199] In the embodiments of the present application, the graphitization degree of the material has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art.

[0204] The carbon element mainly exists in the coating layer in the form of a carbon coating layer. The carbon coating layer is loose and porous, which is beneficial to increasing the specific surface area of the material, more beneficial to the effective contact between the electrolyte and the phosphate particles, and beneficial to the transmission of lithium ions at the phase interface. In addition, when the mass content of the carbon element is within the above range, the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure can be significantly improved, which is beneficial to enhancing the ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure, and can improve the fast charging ability and energy density of the battery monomer.

[0228] In the embodiments of the present application, the thicknesses of the positive electrode film layer and the positive current collector have meanings well-known in the art, and can be detected by devices and methods well-known in the art. For example, a micrometer is used to measure the thickness of the positive electrode sheet, an organic solvent such as alcohol is used to wash off the film layer on the surface of the positive current collector, and a micrometer is used to measure the thickness of the positive current collector. When the positive electrode film layer is coated on one side, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer is the thickness of the positive electrode sheet minus the thickness of the positive current collector; when the positive electrode film layer is coated on both sides, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer is (the thickness of the positive electrode sheet minus the thickness of the positive current collector) / 2.
[0229] The positive electrode film layer is usually formed by coating a positive electrode paste on the positive current collector and then drying and cold-pressing. The positive electrode paste is usually formed by dispersing a positive electrode active material, an optional conductive agent, an optional binder, and any other components in a solvent and stirring evenly. The solvent can be N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), but is not limited thereto.
[0230] The positive electrode sheet does not exclude other additional functional layers in addition to the positive electrode film layer.

[0232] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is from 0.5 μm to 2 μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer can be 0.5 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, 2 μm or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0233] When the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is within the above range, the conductivity of the positive electrode plate can be further improved, the heat generation of the positive electrode plate can be reduced, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell; moreover, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved while taking into account.
[0234] In the embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer has the meaning well known in the art, and can be detected by using equipment and methods well known in the art.

[0237] Exemplarily, the positive electrode 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. The positive electrode conductive agent in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the conductivity of the positive electrode conductive layer, thereby improving the conductivity of the positive electrode plate and reducing the heat generation amount of the battery cell.
[0238] Optionally, the mass content of the positive electrode binder in the positive electrode conductive layer is 50% to 70%. Exemplarily, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70% or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0239] Exemplarily, 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 fluorinated acrylate resins.

[0242] When the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell; and since the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer is stacked relatively tightly and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.

[0245] When the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the negative electrode plate will not be excessive, and it can also take into account the improvement of the energy density of the battery cell.
[0246] In the embodiments of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer has the meaning well-known in the art, and can be detected by using the equipment and methods well-known in the art. The detection method is as described in the single-sided coating weight test method of the film layer above.
[0247] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material is from 0.005 Ω·cm to 0.043 Ω·cm, and may be optionally 0.04 Ω·cm.

[0248] The relatively low powder resistivity of the negative electrode active material results in a relatively low resistance of the negative electrode sheet and less heat generation of the battery cell.

[0251] When the powder compaction density of the negative electrode active material under 20000 N is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and since the negative electrode active materials in the negative electrode film layer can be stacked more closely and the contact resistance between particles is small, the resistance of the electrode sheet can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.

The above one charge and discharge is one cycle, and cycle 10 times. Then charge at a charging rate of 0.33 C of the nominal capacity to 3.65 V, and then charge at a constant voltage of 3.65 V to 0.05 C to be the BOL full charge state. In the BOL full charge state, disassemble the negative electrode plate, use a tomography electron microscope to observe the cross-section in the thickness direction of the middle area of the negative electrode plate, distinguish the two regions according to the interface between the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer, and measure the thicknesses of the two respectively.

[0287] In the embodiments of the present application, for example, taking the battery charging upper limit voltage of 3.65 V and the battery discharge cut-off voltage of 2.0 V as an example for illustration, The specific steps for the EOL full charge test are as follows: At 60 °C, charge at a charging rate of 0.33C of the battery's nominal capacity until 3.65V, then perform constant voltage charging at 3.65V until 0.05C, let it stand for 10 minutes, then discharge at a discharge rate of 0.33C until 2.0V, and let it stand for 10 minutes. One charge and discharge cycle is defined as above, and the test stops until the battery capacity decays to 80% of the nominal capacity. Then, at 25 °C, charge at a constant current of 0.33C until 3.65V, and perform constant voltage charging at a rate of 0.05C until 3.65V, which is the EOL full charge state. In the EOL full charge state, disassemble the negative electrode sheet, use a tomography scanning electron microscope to observe the cross-section in the thickness direction of the middle area of the negative electrode sheet, distinguish the regions of the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer according to the interface between them, and measure their thicknesses respectively.

[0327] In the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of the CB value is well-known in the art, and it can be detected by using well-known equipment and methods in the art. For example, calculate the capacity of the negative electrode film layer per unit area and the capacity of the positive electrode film layer per unit area respectively, and then calculate the ratio of the two to obtain the CB value.
[0328] Specifically, taking the battery charging upper limit voltage of 3.65V and the battery discharging cut-off voltage of 2.0V as an example for illustration.

[Separator membrane] In the embodiments of the present application, the separator membrane includes a base membrane with a porous structure.
[0330] In some embodiments, the base membrane includes at least one of glass fiber, non-woven fabric, and polyolefin. The base membrane can be a single-layer film or a multi-layer composite film, without particular limitation. When the base membrane is a multi-layer composite film, the materials of each layer can be the same or different, without particular limitation.
[0331] Optionally, the polyolefin includes at least one of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinylidene fluoride.
[0332] In some embodiments, the porosity of the base film is from 20% to 70%, optionally from 35% to 60%. Exemplarily, the porosity of the base film is 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70% or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0333] When the porosity of the base film in the embodiments of the present application is within the above range, the migration ability of lithium ions in the separator can be improved, and the internal resistance of the battery cell can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0334] In the embodiments of the present application, the porosity refers to the percentage of the internal pore volume in the separator occupying the total volume of the separator. The porosity can be tested in accordance with the standard GB / T36363-2018 "Polyolefin Separator for Battery Cell". It should be noted that in the actual testing process, a testing process slightly different from the standard can be adopted according to the differences in testing instruments, testing errors, and in order to eliminate the testing influence on the porosity as much as possible, so as to obtain a more accurate test value.
[0335] In some embodiments, the thickness of the base film is from 6μm to 12μm, optionally from 6μm to 9μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the base film is 6μm, 6.5μm, 7μm, 7.5μm, 8μm, 8.5μm, 9μm, 9.5μm, 10μm, 10.5μm, 11μm, 11.5μm, 12μm or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0336] When the thickness of the base film is within the above range, the migration path of lithium ions in the base film is shorter, and the internal resistance of the battery cell can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0337] In the embodiments of the present application, the separator can be a base film. Optionally, the separator further includes a functional layer disposed on at least one side of the base film. The functional layer can include inorganic particles to improve the heat resistance of the separator. Optionally, the functional layer is disposed on both sides of the base film.
[0338] In some embodiments, the functional layer includes a first functional layer and a second functional layer. The first functional layer is located on one side of the base film and includes first inorganic particles. The second functional layer is located on the other side of the base film and includes composite particles. The composite particles include second inorganic particles and a plurality of non-fluoropolymer particles. The second inorganic particles are attached to the surface of and / or dispersed in the non-fluoropolymer particles.
[0339] The first functional layer and the second functional layer have good heat resistance, which can improve the heat resistance of the separator.
[0340] Optionally, the first functional layer may include a binder, optionally including at least one of a fluorine-containing binder or a polyacrylic acid binder, such as polyvinylidene fluoride.
[0341] Optionally, the first inorganic particles include one or more of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, boehmite, barium sulfate, calcium oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, zirconium oxide, and tin oxide. The above first inorganic particles can improve the heat resistance of the first functional layer.
[0342] In the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of the thickness of the base film is the meaning well known in the art, and it can be detected by using the meaning and equipment well known in the art. For example, a newly prepared separator can be taken as a sample, or a battery cell that has been discharged (discharged to the lower cut-off voltage so that the charged state of the battery is about 0% SOC) can be disassembled in reverse, the separator is obtained from the battery cell, and the separator is dried and used as a sample. The separator is cut off with an ion beam cutter to form a cross-section. Subsequently, a scanning electron microscope is used to measure the thickness of the cross-section of the separator and its respective layers.
[0343] The non-fluoropolymer particles in the second functional layer refer to polymers that are non-fluorinated polymers. For example, the non-fluoropolymer particles include acrylate copolymers. Optionally, the acrylate copolymers include acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylonitrile copolymers. The acrylate copolymers have excellent adhesion properties and high adhesion stability with the base film. The molar ratio of each monomer in the copolymer can be any ratio, such as a molar ratio of 0.35:0.3:0.15:0.2, or 0.4:0.2:0.1:0.3, or 0.45:0.15:0.2:0.2, etc.
[0344] The second inorganic particles in the composite particles make it difficult for the non-fluoropolymer particles to adhere to each other due to the high-temperature treatment in the granulation process, resulting in pores in the composite particles, which is beneficial to the transmission of lithium ions and improves the ion-conducting ability of the separator. Moreover, the second inorganic particles can also increase the compression modulus of the composite particles. During the charge and discharge process, the composite particles are not easily deformed, making the structure of the separator more stable, which can improve the kinetic performance of the battery cell and enhance the fast charging performance. Optionally, compared with the first functional layer, the second functional layer is disposed closer to the negative electrode tab. Since the composite particles are not easily deformed, the separator basically does not cause side effects such as extrusion to the negative electrode tab, making the kinetic performance of the negative electrode tab stable. Correspondingly, the first functional layer is disposed closer to the positive electrode tab.
[0345] Optionally, the second inorganic particles include one or more of silica, alumina, boehmite, barium sulfate, calcium oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, zirconium oxide, and tin oxide. Optionally, the second inorganic particles include silica. The above-mentioned second inorganic particles can improve the heat resistance of the second functional layer and can form composite particles in cooperation with the non-fluoropolymer, further improving the cycle stability and kinetic performance of the separator membrane, and improving the cycle performance and fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0346] The average particle size of the second inorganic particles is 5 nm to 100 nm, optionally 10 nm to 100 nm, and optionally 5 nm to 20 nm.

When the average particle size of the second inorganic particles is in the above range, it is beneficial to improve the heat resistance and compression modulus of the composite particles.
[0347] In the embodiments of the present application, the average particle size of the second inorganic particles has the meaning well known in the art and can be detected by the equipment and methods well known in the art. For example, after obtaining the separator membrane and drying the separator membrane as a sample, use an ion beam cutter to cut the separator membrane to form a cross-section. Subsequently, use a scanning electron microscope to measure the particle size of the second inorganic particles in the separator membrane, measure the particle sizes of multiple, such as 50, second inorganic particles, and calculate their average value as the average particle size of the second inorganic particles.
[0348] In some embodiments, the ionic conductivity of the separator membrane is 0.3 mS / cm to 0.6 mS / cm. Exemplarily, the ionic conductivity of the separator membrane is 0.3 mS / cm, 0.35 mS / cm, 0.4 mS / cm, 0.45 mS / cm, 0.5 mS / cm, 0.55 mS / cm, 0.6 mS / cm or the range composed of any two of the above values.
[0349] When the ionic conductivity of the separator membrane is in the above range, it can further improve the migration ability of lithium ions in the separator membrane and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell.
[0350] In the embodiments of the present application, the ionic conductivity of the separator membrane has the meaning well known in the art and can be detected by the equipment and methods well known in the art. For example, Prepare a 2025-type button battery for testing: In a vacuum glove box, place a lithium sheet in the battery negative electrode case, add 150 μL of electrolyte, and the electrolyte uses 1 mol / L LiPF 6In a solution with EC / EMC / DEC = 3 / 5 / 2 (mass ratio), then place the separator (with an area of 3.14 cm 2 , a thickness of 12 μm) so that it closely adheres to the lithium sheet, then add 25 μL of electrolyte, and finally place the positive electrode sheet (the positive electrode sheet can be the positive electrode sheet in Example 1) on it, and encapsulate.

Exemplarily, d / A can be 3.5 g / Ah, 3.3 g / Ah, 3.2 g / Ah, 3.0 g / Ah, 2.8 g / Ah, 2.5 g / Ah, 2.45 g / Ah, or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0399] d / A can reflect the liquid retention ability of the electrolyte. When d / A is within the above range, the electrolyte can play a good wetting role on the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, and can also improve the migration rate of lithium ions in the liquid phase, which is beneficial to improving the fast charging ability of the battery cell.
[0400] In the embodiments of the present application, d / A of the battery cell can be understood as the liquid retention coefficient, and can be detected by using equipment and methods well-known in the art. For example, taking the upper limit voltage of battery charging as 3.65 V and the cut-off voltage of battery discharging as 2.0 V in accordance with GB / T31486-2015 "Power Battery Electrical Performance Requirements and Test Methods for Electric Vehicles" for illustration. At 25 °C, the battery cell is charged to 3.65 V at 0.33 C, then charged at a constant voltage until 0.05 C, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.33 C to 2.0 V. The discharged capacity A is used as the denominator. The battery cell is weighed as M0, and then the positive electrode plate, negative electrode plate, separator, and electrolyte are disassembled. The free electrolyte is placed in a bag. All the above solid components are placed in an oven at 60 °C and baked for more than 4 hours (including but not limited to the positive electrode plate, negative electrode plate, separator, and other mechanical parts of the disassembled battery cell that contribute to M0), and then all the components of the battery cell are weighed as M1. The weight difference between M0 and M1 is used as the numerator. The liquid retention coefficient is equal to the value obtained by dividing the weight difference d between M0 and M1 by the capacity A.

Constant current charge at 5.0C from 10% SOC to 15% SOC; Constant current charge at 5.0C from 15% SOC to 20% SOC; Constant current charge at 5.0C from 20% SOC to 25% SOC; Constant current charge at 5.0C from 25% SOC to 30% SOC; Constant current charge at 5.0C from 30% SOC to 35% SOC; Constant current charge at 5.0C from 35% SOC to 40% SOC; Constant current charge at 4.6C from 40% SOC to 45% SOC; Constant current charge at 4.3C from 45% SOC to 50% SOC; Constant current charge at 4.0C from 50% SOC to 55% SOC; Constant current charge at 3.7C from 55% SOC to 60% SOC; Constant current charge at 3.4C from 60% SOC to 65% SOC; Constant current charge at 3.1C from 65% SOC to 70% SOC; Constant current charge at 2.9C from 70% SOC to 75% SOC; Constant current charge at 2.7C from 75% SOC to 80% SOC.
[0461] Record the total charging time.
[0462] Based on the charging rate adjustment in Example 1, the actual rate is adjusted due to the charging time adjustment at 10% - 80% SOC for different examples.
[0463] 2. Cycling performance of battery cells At 30°C, charge the battery cell from 10% SOC to 80% SOC according to the above charging process, then charge it to 3.65V at 0.33C, let it stand for 30 min, and then discharge it to 10% SOC at 1C. This is one charge-discharge cycle. Repeat the above charge-discharge cycle 1000 times, and calculate the cycling capacity retention rate of the battery cell. The higher the cycling capacity retention rate, the better the cycling performance of the battery cell. Based on the charging rate adjustment in Example 1, the actual rate is adjusted due to the charging time adjustment at 10% - 80% SOC for different examples.
[0464] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0465] Table 1
[0466] As can be seen from Table 1, in Comparative Example 1-1, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 150 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and its coating weight is relatively small, resulting in a relatively small energy density of the battery cell; while in Comparative Example 1-2, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 400 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and its coating weight is relatively high, which may result in a relatively large resistance to lithium-ion migration and poor fast-charging performance. In Comparative Example 1-3, the conductivity of the electrolyte is relatively small, the resistance to lithium-ion migration is relatively large, and the fast-charging performance is poor.
[0467] In the examples of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm, which can make the discharge platform voltage during the discharge process of the battery cell from 100% state of charge at a constant current rate of 0.33C to 2.0V be 3.19V to 3.235V, optionally 3.215V to 3.235V, and the discharge platform voltage during the discharge process of the battery cell from 100% state of charge at a constant current rate of 2C to 2.0V be 3.05V to 3.15V. Thus, it can take into account improving the energy density, fast-charging performance, and cycling performance of the battery cell.
[0468] In Examples 1-6, since the negative electrode active material contains silicon-based materials, its energy density is significantly improved, but due to its volume expansion effect, its cycling performance may be slightly worse than that of Example 1-1.
[0469] Example 2-1 Battery Cell (Laminated Electrode Assembly) A battery cell was prepared by a method similar to that of Example 1-1. Different from Example 1-1, a laminated process was used to prepare the electrode assembly.
[0470] Examples 2-2 to 2-6 A battery cell was prepared by a method similar to that of Example 2-1. Different from Example 2-1, at least one of the coating weights of the positive electrode film layer and the negative electrode film layer and the conductivity of the electrolyte was adjusted, as specifically shown in Table 2.
[0471] The battery performance of Examples 2-1 to 2-6 was tested by a method similar to that of Example 1-1, and the test results are shown in Table 2.
[0472] Among them, in Examples 2-5 and 2-6, the negative electrode active material further included a silicon-based material, and the mass content of silicon element in the silicon-based material relative to the mass of the negative electrode active material was 3%.
[0473] Table 2
[0474] As can be seen from Table 2, in the examples of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm, which can make the discharge platform voltage of the battery cell during the discharge process from 100% charged state at a constant current rate of 0.33C to 2.0V be 3.19V to 3.235V, optionally 3.19 to 3.225V, and the discharge platform voltage of the battery cell during the discharge process from 100% charged state at a constant current rate of 2C to 2.0V be 3.05V to 3.15V. Thus, it is possible to take into account improving the energy density, fast charging performance and cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0475] In Examples 2-5 and 2-6, the negative electrode active material further included a silicon-based material, and its energy density was significantly improved. However, due to its volume expansion effect, the cycle performance may be slightly worse than that of Example 2-1.
[0476] Although the illustrative embodiments have been demonstrated and described, those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments cannot be construed as a limitation to the present application, and the embodiments can be changed, substituted and modified without departing from the spirit, principle and scope of the present application.
