[0078] The fast charging performance refers to the performance of the battery for fast charging. The fast charging performance is closely related to the ion transport kinetics. To improve the fast charging performance, it is required that ions can be transported quickly and efficiently between the electrodes and ions can be transported quickly in the electrode material. In order to improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell, it is desirable to use a solvent with better conductivity. Therefore, chain carboxylic esters are usually used in the electrolyte, but chain carboxylic esters are easily decomposed to generate gas during the cycling process of the battery cell, resulting in a decline in the battery cycling performance.
[0079] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell, including an electrode assembly and an electrolyte; wherein, the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode tab and a negative electrode tab, the positive electrode tab includes a positive current collector and a positive electrode film layer located on at least one side of the positive current collector, the positive electrode film layer includes a positive active material, the positive active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate, and the porosity of the positive electrode tab is 20% to 30%; the negative electrode tab includes a negative current collector and a negative electrode film layer located on at least one side of the negative current collector, the negative electrode film layer includes a negative active material, the negative active material includes graphite, and the porosity of the negative electrode tab is 24% to 33%; the electrolyte includes an electrolyte salt and a solvent, the solvent includes a chain carboxylic ester and a chain carbonate, the mass ratio of the chain carboxylic ester in the electrolyte is 8.5% to 40%, and the mass ratio of the chain carbonate in the electrolyte is 8.5% to 50%.

The electrode tab is immersed in ethylene methyl carbonate (EMC) for cleaning; the true density meter (AccuPycII1340 of Micromeritics, USA) is used to measure based on the gas displacement method. Among them, the percentage of the pore volume in the electrode tab accounting for the total volume of the electrode tab is the porosity of the electrode tab, and the calculation formula is: porosity = (V - V0) / V × 100%, where V0 is the true volume of the electrode tab and V is the apparent volume of the electrode tab.
[0081] In this article, the types and mass contents of the components in the electrolyte can be obtained by detecting the electrolyte by any method known to those skilled in the art. As an example, the composition and content of the electrolyte can be characterized by one or more of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), ion chromatography (IC), liquid chromatography (LC), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Exemplarily, referring to GB / T-9722-2006 / GB / T6041-2002, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are used in combination. After the components in the sample are separated by gas chromatography, each component is broken into ion fragments in the mass spectrometry and separated according to the mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) to form a specific mass spectrum, and the qualitative analysis of each organic component in the electrolyte is obtained. Then, each organic component in the electrolyte is separated in the chromatographic column to generate a detection signal spectrum of each component, and the components are qualitatively analyzed using the retention time, and the peak area is calibrated with a standard to achieve quantification, and the quantitative test analysis of the organic components in the electrolyte is obtained.

[0085] The addition of chain carboxylic acid ester solvents to the electrolyte not only helps to improve the lithium-ion conductivity of the electrolyte, but also can reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte, increase the transport rate of lithium ions at the solid-liquid interface of the battery monomer, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery. However, chain carboxylic acid ester solvents have high reactivity and are prone to decomposition during battery cycling, resulting in gas generation in the battery. Adding a certain amount of chain carbonate to the chain carboxylic acid ester solvent can reduce the amount of chain carboxylic acid ester solvent in the electrolyte, reduce the degree of side reactions of the chain carboxylic acid ester solvent, and improve the battery cycling performance. At the same time, by using a positive electrode plate with a porosity of 20-30% and a negative electrode plate with a porosity of 24-33%, in combination with the chain carboxylic acid ester and chain carbonate in the electrolyte, it is beneficial to improve the wetting ability of the electrolyte for the electrode plate and shorten the transport distance of ions in the electrode material, thereby further facilitating the improvement of the fast charging performance of the battery monomer. Moreover, it is also beneficial to obtain a high energy density. Thus, the good fast charging performance, good cycling performance, and high energy density of the battery are taken into account.
[0086] In some embodiments, the porosity of the positive electrode plate is 25-30%. Thereby, it is beneficial for the battery monomer to have good fast charging performance while taking into account high energy density.
[0087] In some embodiments, the positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer provided on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector.

[0120] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a first film layer and a second film layer. The first film layer is disposed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector, and the second film layer is disposed on the surface of the first film layer facing away from the current collector; Wherein, the first film layer contains a first negative electrode active material; the second film layer contains a second negative electrode active material; the average longest diameter of the graphite in the second negative electrode active material is smaller than the average longest diameter of the graphite in the first negative electrode active material.
[0121] In this article, the "average longest diameter" means that the pole piece is ion-polished and cut along the thickness direction of the pole piece to expose the cross-section of the film layer. The cross-section of the film layer can be tested by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). At a magnification of 1000 times in the SEM scene, randomly take more than 50 particles, measure the length of the longest straight line passing through the center point of each particle and extending to the outer periphery of the particle, and then take the average value of the lengths of the longest straight lines of these particles.
[0122] The average longest diameter particle size of the graphite used in the second film layer is relatively smaller, and the ion transport distance of ions in the second film layer is relatively shorter, which is beneficial to further improving the fast charging performance of the battery cell. The average longest diameter particle size of the graphite used in the first film layer is relatively larger, and the compaction density of the first film layer is relatively higher, which is beneficial to taking into account good energy density.
[0123] In some embodiments, the average longest diameter particle size of the graphite in the first negative electrode active material is 7-18 μm. Thus, it is beneficial to play the role of the relatively higher compaction density of the first film layer.

There may be any form of defects inside the primary particle, but smaller particles cannot be defined within the primary particle. Primary particles may aggregate under physical actions such as van der Waals force, but this aggregation is easily depolymerized under external forces such as ultrasonic, stirring, and rolling, so that the main composition form of the active material in the film layer is still primary particles.
[0128] In this application, the particle with a secondary particle morphology refers to a secondary particle. A secondary particle is formed by the aggregation of primary particles and is not easily dispersed under external forces such as ultrasonic, but after cutting the cross-section of the secondary particle, it can be seen that the secondary particle is formed by the aggregation of numerous primary particles.

[0132] The thickness of the coating layer can be characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) testing. Observe the negative electrode active material through transmission electron microscopy. According to the difference in lattice fringes, the coating layer coated on the surface of the negative electrode active material can be clearly observed. Randomly select 5 positions in the coating layer for testing, and calculate the average value as the average thickness of the coating layer.

The graphitization degree of graphite in the first negative electrode active material can be 90%, 90.5%, 91%, 91.5%, 92%, 92.5%, 93%, 93.5%, 94%, or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.
[0134] In this article, the term "graphitization degree" macroscopically characterizes the proportion of the material that reaches a complete graphite crystal structure; microscopically, it refers to the degree to which different transitional carbon structures approach an ideal graphite crystal.
[0135] In this application, the graphitization degree of graphite can be tested by instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be tested using an X-ray diffractometer (such as Bruker D8 Discover), and the test can refer to JISK 0131-1996 and JB / T4220-2011 to obtain the average layer spacing d002 of the C(002) crystal plane in the crystal structure of the material, and then the graphitization degree can be calculated according to the formula g=(0.344-d002) / (0.344-0.3354)×100%. In the above formula, d002 is the average layer spacing of the C(002) crystal plane in the crystal structure of the material expressed in nanometers (nm).

[0137] In this application, the content of silicon element can be tested by instruments and methods known in the art. For example, the negative electrode active material can be placed in an appropriate digestion solvent, concentrated nitric acid solvent, and digested by the plate digestion method. Finally, it is dissolved in hydrochloric acid to extract the solvent, and then the obtained solution is fixed to an appropriate volume and quantitatively tested using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer ICP-OES.
[0138] In some embodiments, the average longest diameter particle size of graphite in the second negative electrode active material is 6-10 μm.

[0189] Performance test: (1) Battery fast charging performance test: Charge and discharge the batteries of the above examples and comparative examples for the first time at a current of 1C. Specifically, at 25 °C, charge the battery at a constant current of 1C rate until the voltage reaches 3.65V, then charge at a constant voltage until the current ≤ 0.05C, stand for 5 minutes, and then discharge at a constant current of 0.33C rate until the voltage reaches 2.5V. Record its actual capacity as C0. Then charge the battery at a constant current of 1.0C0, 1.3C0, 1.5C0, 1.8C0, 2.0C0, 2.3C0, 2.5C0, 3.0C0, 3.5C0, 4C0, 4.5C0, 5C0 to the full battery charging cut-off voltage of 3.65V, and record the SOC state corresponding to the battery when it is charged to 3.65V at each rate. After each charge is completed, discharge at 1C0 to the full battery discharge cut-off voltage of 2.1V, draw a curve graph of different SOC - charging rates, and read the charging rates corresponding to 10% SOC, 20% SOC... 80% SOC from this curve graph, and record them as C(10%SOC), C(20%SOC), C(30%SOC), C(40%SOC), C(50%SOC), C(60%SOC), C(70%SOC), C(80%SOC) respectively, to obtain the maximum charging rate under the corresponding state of charge, that is, the fast charging window. The charging time from 10 - 80% is 6 / C(10%SOC)+6 / C(20%SOC)+ 6 / C(30%SOC) +6 / C(40%SOC) +6 / C(50%SOC) +6 / C(60%SOC) +6 / C(70%SOC)+6 / C(80%SOC), with the unit of minutes.
[0190] (2) Cycle performance test: At 25°C, the battery cell is charged at a constant current of 1C to a charging cut-off voltage of 3.65V, then charged at a constant current of 0.05C to a charging cut-off voltage of 3.65V, and left standing for 30 minutes; it is discharged at a constant current of 1C to 2.5V and left standing for 30 minutes. This is one charge-discharge cycle. Repeat the above charge-discharge cycle steps until the cycle capacity retention rate (i.e., Cn / C0×100%) reaches 80%, and record the number of cycles.
[0191] (3)Energy density test: At 25°C, the assembled battery is fully charged at a rate of 0.5C and fully discharged at a rate of 0.5C, and the actual discharge energy at this time is recorded; at 25°C, the battery is weighed using an electronic balance; the ratio of the actual discharge energy of the battery at 0.5C to the battery weight is the energy density of the battery.
[0192]
[0193] In Comparative Example 1, the mass content of the chain carboxylic acid ester is relatively low, and the fast charging performance cannot be effectively improved.
[0194] In Comparative Example 2, the mass content of the chain carboxylic acid ester is relatively high, and the fast charging performance is good, but the cycle performance drops sharply.
[0195] In Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 5, the porosity of the electrode sheet is relatively low, which can improve the energy density of the battery, but the low porosity results in a large internal resistance, which is not conducive to fast charging, the charging time is too long, and the low porosity is prone to incomplete reaction and the risk of lithium deposition, resulting in poor cycle performance.
[0196] In Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 6, the porosity of the electrode sheet is relatively high, which is conducive to the movement of ions, the improvement of fast charging and cycle performance, but the energy density of the battery drops too much.
[0197] In the embodiments of the present application, by adjusting the mass ratio of the chain carboxylic acid ester in the electrolyte to 8.5% - 40% and the mass ratio of the chain carbonate in the electrolyte to 8.5% - 50%, and at the same time adjusting the porosity of the positive electrode sheet to 20 - 30% and the porosity of the negative electrode sheet to 24 - 33%. It can not only reduce the decomposition of the electrolyte during the cycle, improve the cycle performance of the battery, but also improve the wetting ability of the electrolyte to the electrode sheet, shorten the transmission distance of ions in the electrode material, and improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell. Thus, it takes into account the good fast charging performance and cycle performance of the battery, and can also ensure the high energy density of the battery.
[0198] As can be seen from Examples 1 - 3, as the porosity of the positive electrode sheet increases, the charging time decreases, the number of cycle increases, and the energy density decreases. As can be seen from Examples 1, 4 - 5, as the porosity of the negative electrode sheet increases, the charging time decreases, the number of cycle increases, and the energy density decreases.
[0199] As can be seen from Examples 1, 6 - 7, as the mass ratio of the chain carboxylic acid ester increases, the charging time decreases and the number of cycles decreases.
[0200] As can be seen from Examples 1, 10 - 13, by using different chain carboxylic acid esters and different chain carbonates, it is also possible to achieve good fast - charging performance, cycling performance, and high energy density.
[0201] In Examples 14 - 17, battery monomers were prepared using a method similar to that of Example 1. The differences from Example 1 are shown in Table 2.
[0202] Table 2
[0203] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 14, when the average longest diameter of graphite in the two film layers of the negative electrode tab is the same, although the number of cycles and energy density increase to a certain extent, the fast - charging performance deteriorates. In Example 1, the average longest diameters of graphite in the two film layers are different. After particle size grading, while achieving better fast - charging performance, good cycling performance and energy density are also taken into account. The average longest diameter of graphite used in the second film layer of Example 1 is relatively smaller, and the ion transport distance in the second film layer is relatively shorter, which is beneficial to further improving the fast - charging performance of the battery monomer. And the average longest diameter of graphite used in the first film layer is relatively larger, and the compaction density of the first film layer is relatively higher, which is beneficial to taking into account good energy density.
[0204] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 15, by increasing the average longest diameter of graphite in the first film layer, the compaction density of the first film layer increases, the energy density is improved, but the fast - charging performance and cycling performance decline.
[0205] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 16, by reducing the average longest diameter of graphite in the second film layer, the solid - phase ion transport distance is shortened, the fast - charging performance is improved, but the cycling performance is reduced.
[0206] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 17, by reducing the average longest diameter of primary particles and secondary particles in the positive electrode tab, it is beneficial to improve the fast - charging performance, but the cycling performance is reduced.
[0207] It should be noted that the present application is not limited to the above - mentioned embodiments. The above - mentioned embodiments are only examples, and embodiments with the same structure in essence as the technical idea and achieving the same effect within the technical scope of the present application are all included in the technical scope of the present application. In addition, within the scope not departing from the gist of the present application, various modifications that can be conceived by those skilled in the art to the embodiments, and other ways constructed by combining some constituent elements of the embodiments are also included in the scope of the present application.
