The electrode tab is immersed in ethylene methyl carbonate (EMC) for cleaning; the true density meter (AccuPycII1340 of Micromeritics, USA) is used as the test instrument to measure based on the gas displacement method. Among them, the percentage of the pore volume in the electrode tab in the total volume of the electrode tab is the porosity of the electrode tab. 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.

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 spectrometer and separated according to the mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) to form a specific mass spectrum to obtain the qualitative analysis of the organic components in the electrolyte. Then, the organic components in the electrolyte are 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.

Optionally, the mass percentage of the chain carbonate in the electrolyte can be 8.5%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50% or any numerical range composed of any two of these values.

[0099] The addition of chain carboxylate solvents to the electrolyte not only improves the electrolyte's lithium ion conductivity but also reduces electrolyte viscosity, increasing the lithium ion transport rate at the solid-liquid interface of the battery cells and improving the battery's fast-charging performance. However, chain carboxylate solvents are highly reactive and prone to decomposition during battery cycling, leading to gassing. Adding a certain amount of chain carbonate to these chain carboxylate solvents can reduce the amount of chain carboxylate solvent used in the electrolyte, reduce the extent of side reactions, and improve battery cycling performance. Furthermore, by using a positive electrode sheet with a porosity of 20-30% and a negative electrode sheet with a porosity of 24-33%, the combination of chain carboxylate and chain carbonate in the electrolyte improves the electrolyte's wettability of the electrode sheets and shortens the ion transport distance in the electrode materials, further improving the battery's fast-charging performance and achieving high energy density. This achieves a balance between excellent fast-charging performance, good cycling performance, and high energy density.

[0128] In some embodiments, the chain carbonate includes at least one of dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and methyl ethyl carbonate. The above chain carbonates have appropriate viscosities, which are beneficial to reduce the ion transport resistance in the electrolyte and are also beneficial to reduce the generation of gas during the cycling of the battery monomer, thereby improving the cycling performance.

[0129] In some embodiments, the solvent further includes a cyclic carbonate. The addition of the cyclic carbonate is beneficial to reduce the solvation effect of the electrolyte, reduce the binding ability of the solvent to ions, and make it easier for ions to dissociate from the solvent, thereby further improving the fast charging performance.

The addition of the second additive is beneficial to improving the SEI film and further improving the cycling performance of the battery cell.

[0136] In some embodiments, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at 25 °C is 11 to 13 mS / cm.

The ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at 25 °C can be 11 mS / cm, 11.5 mS / cm, 12 mS / cm, 12.5 mS / cm, 13 mS / cm or any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0137] In this application, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte describes the ability of the ions dissociated from the electrolyte to conduct electricity through the directional movement in an electric field, and can be tested by any well-known method in the art. As an example, disassemble the battery cell, take about 100 mL of the electrolyte sample with a dry, clean and corrosion-resistant sample bottle, seal it and place it in a constant temperature water bath, shake the sample from time to time, and keep the temperature constant at 25 °C (deviation ±0.5 °C). After the temperature of the sample is constant, use a commercially available conductivity meter to test its conductivity. After wiping the conductivity meter clean with the calibration solution, vertically place it into the liquid to be tested, click to start the test, and record the test result after the data is stable for more than 10 s.

[0138] 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;

[0139] Among them, 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.

[0140] In this article, the "average longest diameter" means that the pole piece is cut by ion polishing treatment 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 scenario, 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.

[0141] 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 tap density of the first film layer is relatively higher, which is beneficial to taking into account good energy density.

[0142] 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 tap density of the first film layer. The average longest diameter particle size of the graphite in the first negative electrode active material can be 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, 16 μm, 17 μm, 18 μm or any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0143] In some embodiments, the graphite in the first negative electrode active material includes at least one of artificial graphite and natural graphite.

[0144] Artificial graphite and natural graphite can be distinguished by the SEM cross-sectional view taken by scanning electron microscope (SEM). There are voids between flaky structures in the SEM cross-sectional view of natural graphite, and the SEM cross-sectional view of artificial graphite is dense and has no obvious gaps, or can be distinguished by the XRD spectrum obtained by X-ray diffraction method. There are obvious 2H phase and 3R phase in the XRD spectrum of natural graphite, and only 2H phase exists in the XRD spectrum of artificial graphite.

[0145] In some embodiments, the graphite in the first negative electrode active material includes graphite with a secondary particle morphology.

[0146] In this application, a particle with a primary particle morphology refers to a primary particle. A primary particle is the smallest unit of a particle within a certain observation range. 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 forces, but this aggregation is easily depolymerized under external forces such as ultrasonic waves, stirring, and rolling, so that the main composition form of the active material in the film layer is still primary particles.

[0147] In this application, a 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 waves. However, after cutting the cross-section of the secondary particle, it can be seen that the secondary particle is formed by the aggregation of many primary particles.

[0148] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of graphite in the first negative electrode active material is 7 to 15 μm. The volume distribution particle size Dv50 of graphite in the first negative electrode active material can be 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0149] In this application, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the material represents the particle size corresponding to when the cumulative volume distribution percentage of the material reaches 50%, and can be measured by instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be conveniently measured with a laser particle size analyzer with reference to GB / T19077-2016 Laser Diffraction Method for Particle Size Distribution. The test instrument can be a Mastersizer 3000 type laser particle size analyzer of Malvern Instruments Limited, UK.

The thickness of the carbon coating layer can be 100 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 350 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, 500 nm, or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0151] 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.

[0152] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of graphite in the first negative electrode active material is 90 to 94%. A high graphitization degree of the material indicates a small graphite layer spacing, less lattice rotation, less disordered stacking of the layers, more ordered arrangement, a high specific capacity of the material, and is beneficial to obtaining a battery cell with a high energy density. 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.

[0153] In this article, the term "graphitization degree" macroscopically characterizes what proportion of the material reaches a complete graphite crystal structure; microscopically, it refers to the degree to which different transitional carbon structures approach an ideal graphite crystal.

[0154] 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).

[0155] In some embodiments, the first negative electrode active material further includes a silicon material, and the mass percentage of silicon element in the first negative electrode active material is 0.5-10%. The addition of the silicon material is beneficial to further improve the energy density of the battery cell. The mass percentage of silicon element in the first negative electrode active material can be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10% or any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0156] 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 flat plate digestion method. Finally, it is dissolved with 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.

[0157] In some embodiments, the average longest diameter particle size of graphite in the second negative electrode active material is 6-10 μm. Thus, it is beneficial to play the role that the ion transport distance in the second film layer is relatively shorter. The average longest diameter particle size of graphite in the second negative electrode active material can be 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm or any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

The volume-based particle size Dv50 of the graphite in the second negative electrode active material can be 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0161] In some embodiments, the graphite in the second negative electrode active material includes a carbon coating layer, and the thickness of the carbon coating layer is 100 to 500 nm.

The thickness of the carbon coating layer can be 100 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 350 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, 500 nm, or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0162] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of the graphite in the second negative electrode active material is 90 to 94%. A high graphitization degree of the material indicates a small graphite layer spacing, a smaller lattice rotation, less disordered stacking of the layers, an ordered arrangement, a high specific capacity of the material, and is beneficial to obtaining a battery cell with a high energy density. The graphitization degree of the graphite in the second 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.

[0163] In some embodiments, the second negative electrode active material further includes a silicon material, and the mass ratio of silicon element in the silicon material in the second negative electrode active material is 0.5 to 10%. The addition of the silicon material is beneficial to further improving the energy density of the battery cell. The mass ratio of silicon element in the silicon material in the second negative electrode active material can be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0164] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first film layer is 30% to 70% of the total thickness of the negative electrode film layer. Thus, it is beneficial to play the role of the first film layer in taking into account the energy density of the battery cell. The thickness of the first film layer can be 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70% of the total thickness of the negative electrode film layer, or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0165] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second film layer is 30% to 70% of the total thickness of the negative electrode film layer. Thus, it is beneficial to further improve the fast charging performance of the battery cell. The thickness of the second film layer can be 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70% of the total thickness of the negative electrode film layer, or any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0166] The thicknesses of the first film layer and the second film layer can be characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) testing. Observe the cross-section of the negative electrode sheet through transmission electron microscopy, and observe the thicknesses of the first film layer and the second film layer according to the difference in the average maximum diameter of the active materials in the first film layer and the second film layer. Take the average value after observing, for example, 5 times.

[0167] In some embodiments, under the condition that the state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell is 0%, the tap density of the single-sided negative electrode film layer of the negative electrode sheet is 1.3 to 1.52 g / cc. Thus, a suitable tap density is beneficial to further adjust the porosity of the negative electrode sheet within a suitable range. Under the condition that the state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell is 0%, the tap density of the single-sided negative electrode film layer of the negative electrode sheet can be 1.3 g / cc, 1.31 g / cc, 1.32 g / cc, 1.33 g / cc, 1.34 g / cc, 1.35 g / cc, 1.36 g / cc, 1.37 g / cc, 1.38 g / cc, 1.39 g / cc, 1.4 g / cc, 1.41 g / cc, 1.42 g / cc, 1.43 g / cc, 1.44 g / cc, 1.45 g / cc, 1.46 g / cc, 1.47 g / cc, 1.48 g / cc, 1.49 g / cc, 1.5 g / cc, 1.51 g / cc, 1.52 g / cc, or any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0168] In this application, the tap density of the electrode sheet has the meaning well known in the art and can be tested by methods known in the art. Under the condition that the state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell is 0%, remove the electrode sheet from the lithium-ion battery, take a certain area of the electrode sheet, and measure the mass and thickness of the electrode sheet and the current collector after removing the film layer respectively. Calculate the tap density of the electrode sheet according to the following formula. Tap density of the electrode sheet = (mass of the electrode sheet - mass of the current collector) / [(thickness of the electrode sheet - thickness of the current collector) × area of the electrode sheet].

[0169] In some embodiments, the areal density of the single-sided negative electrode film layer of the negative electrode sheet is 0.12 to 0.18 g / 1540.25 mm 2 . Thus, a suitable areal density is beneficial to further adjust the porosity of the negative electrode sheet within a suitable range. The areal density of the single-sided negative electrode film layer of the negative electrode sheet can be 0.12 g / 1540.25 mm 2, 0.13 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.14 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.15 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.16 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.17 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.18 g / 1540.25 mm 2 or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0170] In this application, the areal density of the film layer has the meaning well-known in the art and can be measured by methods known in the art. For example, take a single-sided coated and cold-pressed electrode sheet (if it is a double-sided coated electrode sheet, the film layer on one side can be wiped off), punch it into small round pieces with an area of S1, weigh it, and record it as M1. Then wipe off the film layer of the above-mentioned weighed electrode sheet and weigh the weight of the current collector, and record it as M0.

[0215] Performance Test:

[0216] (1) Battery Fast Charging Performance Test:

[0217] Charge and discharge the batteries of the above-mentioned 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, plot 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, which are respectively denoted 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), to obtain the maximum charging rate under the corresponding state of charge, that is, the fast charging window. The charging time for 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.

[0218] (2)Cycling performance test:

[0219] At 25 °C, charge the single battery at a constant current of 1C until the charging cut-off voltage of 3.65V, then charge it at a constant current of 0.05C until the charging cut-off voltage of 3.65V, and let it stand for 30 min; discharge it at a constant current of 1C to 2.5V and let it stand for 30 min. This is one charge-discharge cycle. Repeat the above charge-discharge cycle steps until the cycle capacity retention rate (i.e., Cn / C0×100%) is 80%, and record the number of cycles.

[0220] (3)Energy density test:

[0221] At 25 °C, fully charge the assembled battery at a rate of 0.5C and fully discharge it at a rate of 0.5C, and record the actual discharge energy at this time; at 25 °C, weigh the battery 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.

[0222]

[0223] 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.

[0224] 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 cycling performance drops sharply.

[0225] In Comparative Examples 3 and 5, the porosity of the electrode sheet is relatively low, which can improve the energy density of the battery. However, due to the low porosity, the internal resistance is large, which is not conducive to fast charging, and the charging time is too long. Moreover, due to the low porosity, there is a risk of insufficient reaction and lithium deposition, resulting in poor cycling performance.

[0226] In Comparative Examples 4 and 6, the porosity of the electrode sheet is relatively high, which is conducive to the movement of ions and the improvement of fast charging and cycling performance. However, the energy density of the battery drops too much.

[0227] In the examples 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 cycling and improve the cycling 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 single battery. Thus, it takes into account the good fast charging performance and cycling performance of the battery, and can also ensure the high energy density of the battery.

[0228] As can be seen from Examples 1 - 3, as the porosity of the positive electrode sheet increases, the charging time decreases, the number of cycles 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 cycles increases, and the energy density decreases.

[0229] As can be seen from Examples 1, 6 - 7, as the mass proportion of the chain carboxylic acid ester increases, the charging time decreases and the number of cycles decreases.

[0230] As can be seen from Examples 1, 10 - 13, using different chain carboxylic acid esters and different chain carbonates can also balance good fast - charging performance, cycling performance and high energy density.

[0231] Battery monomers in Examples 14 - 17 were prepared by a method similar to that in Example 1. The differences from Example 1 are shown in Table 2.

[0232] Table 2

[0233]

[0234] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 14, when the average longest - diameter particle size of graphite in the two film layers of the negative electrode sheet 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 - diameter particle sizes of graphite in the two film layers are different. After particle size grading, while having better fast - charging performance, good cycling performance and energy density are also balanced. The average longest - diameter particle size 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 particle size 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 balancing good energy density.

[0235] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 15, increasing the average longest - diameter particle size of graphite in the first film layer increases the compaction density of the first film layer, improves the energy density, but the fast - charging performance and cycling performance decline.

[0236] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 16, decreasing the average longest - diameter particle size of graphite in the second film layer shortens the ion solid - phase transport distance, improves the fast - charging performance, but reduces the cycling performance.

[0237] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 17, decreasing the average longest - diameter particle sizes of the primary particles and secondary particles in the positive electrode sheet is beneficial to improving the fast - charging performance, but reduces the cycling performance.

[0238] It should be noted that this application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above embodiments are only examples, and embodiments having the same composition and the same effect as the technical idea within the scope of the technical solution of this application are all included in the technical scope of this application. In addition, within the scope of not departing from the gist of this application, various modifications that can be conceived by those skilled in the art to the embodiments, and other ways constructed by combining some of the constituent elements in the embodiments are also included in the scope of this application.
