Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of secondary batteries, and particularly relates to a lithium-ion secondary battery and an electrical device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of technology and the improvement of market demand, the application fields of lithium-ion batteries have been expanding day by day. From consumer electronics to electric vehicles, energy storage systems and other fields, the requirements for battery performance are also getting higher and higher. The development background of high-voltage (≥4.55V) lithium-ion battery electrolytes mainly stems from the pursuit of higher energy density and safety performance.
[0003] High voltage has a great impact on battery materials, especially cathode materials. Excessive voltage may cause the cathode material to undergo delithiation (i.e., the release of Li + ), or the structure may collapse, making the diffusion path of lithium ions become narrower or more unstable. The damage to the crystal structure will lead to a decrease in ionic conductivity, thereby reducing the diffusion rate of lithium ions; in addition, high voltage may also cause the decomposition of the electrolyte to generate by-products. These by-products will not only lead to a decline in battery performance, but may also form a solid electrolyte interface (CEI) film or a film that hinders ion conduction on the surface of the cathode, thereby slowing down the diffusion of lithium ions.
[0004] However, the diffusion rate of lithium ions is one of the key factors affecting battery performance. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a lithium-ion secondary battery that can improve the diffusion rate of lithium ions under high voltage. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this application is that the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the cathode active material under high voltage in the prior art is low, which will in turn affect the charge and discharge performance and cycle performance of the battery, etc. Thus, a lithium-ion secondary battery and an electrical device are provided.

[0030] Preferably, N / P and m1 satisfy: N / P ≥ m1 / 10.
[0031] According to another aspect of the present application, there is provided an electrical device including the above-mentioned lithium-ion secondary battery.
[0032] The technical solution of the present application has the following advantages:
[0033] The lithium-ion secondary battery provided by the present application includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and an electrolyte. Among them, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode active material, and sodium element is doped in the positive electrode active material. Based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass percentage content of the sodium element is m2%, where 0.001 ≤ m2 ≤ 1; the electrolyte includes fluorobenzene compounds, and based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage content of the fluorobenzene compounds is m1%, where 2 ≤ m1 ≤ 30. The lithium-ion secondary battery provided by the present application can improve the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the positive electrode material at high voltages by doping sodium element in the positive electrode active material and adding fluorobenzene compounds in the electrolyte, so that the lithium-ion secondary battery has good charge and discharge performance and cycle performance, especially low-temperature and normal-temperature cycle performance. Specifically, the fluorine atoms in the fluorobenzene compound molecules have strong electronegativity, and the fluorobenzene compound can reduce the surface tension of the electrolyte. The complex formed by the fluorobenzene compound and lithium ions helps to accelerate the diffusion process of lithium ions, which makes the electrolyte easier to penetrate into the pores and grain boundaries of the positive electrode active material, thereby accelerating the diffusion and migration of lithium ions; in addition, the fluorobenzene compound has better stability in the electrolyte than carboxylic ester solvents, and can maintain the long-term stability of the battery, which helps to reduce the performance attenuation of the battery during charge and discharge and extend the service life of the battery. When sodium element (Na + ) is doped into the lattice of the positive electrode active material, it will replace part of the position of lithium element (Li + ). Due to the differences in radius and charge between sodium ions and lithium ions, this substitution will cause local adjustment of the lattice structure of the doped material. This adjustment makes the diffusion channels of the complex formed by the fluorobenzene compound and lithium ions in the lattice of the positive electrode become wider and smoother, thereby reducing the activation energy of lithium ion diffusion and enabling lithium ions to better pass through the pores and grain boundaries of the positive electrode active material, effectively improving the diffusion and migration of lithium ions in the positive electrode active material; the complex of the fluorobenzene compound and lithium ions also contains a part of anionic groups (such as bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide anion (FSI - ). When the complex structure contacts the sodium ions doped on the surface of the positive electrode active material, this solvation layer further migrates the lithium ion-containing group into the positive electrode active material through electrostatic attraction, effectively improving the wetting of the electrolyte on the surface of the positive electrode active material, accelerating the diffusion rate and kinetic transport performance of lithium ions in the positive electrode active material, and improving the charge and discharge performance and low-temperature / normal-temperature cycle performance of the battery.

[0042] As described in the background art, in order to solve the defects in the prior art that the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the positive electrode material is low under high voltage, which will in turn affect the charge-discharge performance and cycle performance of the battery, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0043] According to one aspect of the present application, a lithium-ion secondary battery is provided, including a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and an electrolyte,
[0044] wherein, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode active material, and sodium element is doped in the positive electrode active material. Based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass percentage content of the sodium element is m2%, and 0.001 ≤ m2 ≤ 1;
[0045] The electrolyte includes a fluorobenzene compound. Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage content of the fluorobenzene compound is m1%, and 2 ≤ m1 ≤ 30.
[0046] As an example, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass percentage content of the sodium element can be 0.001%, 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.03%, 0.08%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, or within the range composed of any of the above values. As an example, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage content of the fluorobenzene compound can be 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0047] The lithium-ion secondary battery provided by this application can improve the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the cathode active material at high voltages by doping sodium elements into the cathode active material and adding fluorobenzene compounds to the electrolyte, enabling the lithium-ion secondary battery to have good charge and discharge performance and cycling performance, especially low-temperature and normal-temperature cycling performance. Specifically, the fluorine atoms in the fluorobenzene compound molecules have strong electronegativity, and the fluorobenzene compounds can reduce the surface tension of the electrolyte. The complex formed by the fluorobenzene compounds and lithium ions helps to accelerate the diffusion process of lithium ions, making it easier for the electrolyte to penetrate into the pores and grain boundaries of the cathode active material, thereby accelerating the diffusion and migration of lithium ions. In addition, the fluorobenzene compounds have better stability in the electrolyte compared to carboxylic ester solvents, which can maintain the long-term stability of the battery, helping to reduce the performance degradation during the charge and discharge process of the battery and extend the service life of the battery. When sodium element (Na + ) is doped into the lattice of the cathode active material, it will replace part of the lithium element (Li + ). Due to the differences in radius and charge between sodium ions and lithium ions, this substitution will cause local adjustment of the lattice structure of the doped material. This adjustment makes the diffusion channels of the complex formed by the fluorobenzene compounds and lithium ions in the lattice of the cathode more spacious and unobstructed, thereby reducing the activation energy of lithium ion diffusion and enabling lithium ions to better pass through the pores and grain boundaries of the cathode active material, effectively improving the diffusion and migration of lithium ions in the cathode active material. The complex of the fluorobenzene compound and lithium ions also contains a part of anionic groups (such as bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide anion (FSI - ). When the complex structure contacts the sodium ions doped on the surface of the cathode active material, this solvation layer migrates the lithium-ion-containing groups further into the cathode active material through electrostatic attraction, effectively improving the wetting of the electrolyte on the surface of the cathode active material, accelerating the diffusion rate and kinetic transport performance of lithium ions in the cathode active material, and improving the charge and discharge performance and low-temperature / normal-temperature cycling performance of the battery. If the content of the fluorobenzene compound is too high, it will dilute the concentration of the overall electrolyte, and at the same time reduce the concentration of lithium ions, lowering the conductivity and resulting in poor kinetic performance. If the content of the fluorobenzene compound is too low, the improvement of the charge and discharge performance and low-temperature / normal-temperature cycling performance of the battery is not obvious. If the sodium element is too much, it will cause continuous accumulation of sodium in the lithium-ion secondary battery, and the internal structure of the battery will gradually be damaged, including the crystal structure of the cathode active material, the stability of the electrolyte, and the integrity of the battery separator, etc. The damage of these structures will accelerate the aging process of the battery and shorten its cycle life. If the sodium element is too little, the local adjustment effect on the lattice structure of the cathode material is not obvious, and it cannot improve the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the cathode material. In this application, the sodium element content of the cathode active material meets the above range, which can achieve the balance between the lithium ion diffusion rate and the battery cycling performance.
[0048] In some optional embodiments, the mass percentage content of the fluorobenzene compound in the electrolyte and the mass percentage content of sodium element in the cathode active material satisfy: 100 ≤ m1 / m2 ≤ 3000. As an example, the ratio m1 / m2 of the mass percentage content of the fluorobenzene compound in the electrolyte to the mass percentage content of sodium element in the cathode active material can be 100, 300, 500, 800, 1000, 1500, 1700, 2000, 2500, 3000, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0049] In this application, when m1 / m2 ≥ 3000, it means that there is too much fluorobenzene solvent and too little sodium element, and the local adjustment effect of sodium element on the lattice is insufficient to match the diffusion of the complex formed by the fluorobenzene compound and lithium ions in the lattice of the cathode active material, and lithium deposition may occur; when m1 / m2 ≤ 100, there is too little fluorobenzene solvent and too much sodium element, and the overall oxidation resistance and kinetic performance of the electrolyte are average, which is not conducive to further improving the stability of high-temperature storage and high-temperature cycling.
[0050] In some optional embodiments, the fluorobenzene compound has a structure represented by the following general formula:
[0051]
[0052] Wherein, R 1 、R 2 、R 3 、R 4 、R 5 、R 6 are each independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, a C1-C20 alkyl group substituted or unsubstituted by halogen, a C1-C20 unsaturated olefin group substituted or unsubstituted by halogen, a C3-C20 cycloalkyl group substituted or unsubstituted by halogen, a phenyl group substituted or unsubstituted by halogen, a biphenyl group substituted or unsubstituted by halogen, a C6-C26 phenylalkyl group substituted or unsubstituted by halogen, and a C6-C26 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon group substituted or unsubstituted by halogen, and at least one of R 1 、R 2 、R 3 、R 4 、R 5 、R 6 is F or a group containing F element;
[0053] Preferably, the R 1 、R 2 、R 3 、R 4 、R 5 、R 6independently selected from any one of hydrogen, F, C1-C5 fluoroalkyl groups, and C1-C5 fluoro unsaturated olefin groups;
[0054] Preferably, the fluorobenzene compound has any one of the following structures:
[0055]
[0056]
[0057] Those skilled in the art can understand that other halogens Cl and Br have stronger acidity than the F element. By further limiting the fluorobenzene compound in this application, preferably a fluorobenzene compound without other halogens, the cycle life of the lithium-ion secondary battery can be further improved; in addition, the fluorobenzene compound preferably without other halogens in this application has a high conductivity, which helps the charge transfer inside the battery, thereby improving the charge and discharge rate of the battery. The preferably disubstituted fluorobenzene compound in this application has a higher oxidation decomposition voltage, can effectively match the high-voltage cathode material, and further broaden the electrochemical window of the electrolyte.
[0058] In some alternative embodiments, the positive electrode active material includes at least one of lithium cobaltate material and ternary single crystal material;
[0059] Preferably, the positive electrode active material includes lithium cobaltate material and ternary single crystal material. Based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass percentage content of the ternary single crystal material is 20-40%; as an example, the mass percentage content of the ternary single crystal material in the positive electrode active material can be 20%, 23%, 25%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 35%, 37%, 40%, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0060] Those skilled in the art can understand that lithium cobaltate material is a commonly used cathode active material in high-voltage platform lithium-ion secondary batteries. In this application, by using lithium cobaltate material (LCO) in combination with a certain proportion of ternary single-crystal material (NCM), the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions in the cathode active material can be further improved, and the high-temperature performance of the battery can be enhanced. The reason is as follows: The channel width and connectivity in the crystal structure affect the migration speed of lithium ions. Since the internal arrangement orientation of the ternary single-crystal material is consistent and there are no grain boundaries, its structural stability is stronger. Blending a part of the ternary single-crystal material in the lithium cobaltate material can increase the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions. Specifically, when a part of the ternary single-crystal material is blended, the structural stability of the cathode active material is enhanced, with fewer structural defects and dislocations, and these defects and dislocations are often obstacles in the lithium-ion diffusion process because they interrupt the migration path of lithium ions and increase the diffusion resistance. When the structural stability is improved, the number of these defects and dislocations decreases, thereby reducing the obstacles encountered by lithium ions during diffusion and increasing the diffusion coefficient. In addition, fluorobenzene compounds and lithium-ion complexes together reduce the surface tension of the electrolyte on the surface of the cathode active material (LCO / NCM). After the fluorobenzene compounds are complexed with lithium ions, they are more likely to penetrate into the pores in the cathode active material (LCO / NCM). The path of the diffusion passage in the lattice of the ternary single-crystal material becomes shorter, which helps the rapid migration of lithium ions, thereby reducing the activation energy of lithium-ion diffusion and increasing the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions. When the content ratio of the ternary single-crystal material is higher than 40%, due to the relatively high nickel content in the ternary single-crystal material, the catalytic oxidation activity of the electrolyte increases, which easily causes the oxidation and decomposition of the electrolyte and gas generation, having a destructive impact on the cycle life of the battery and also bringing safety problems; when the content of the ternary single-crystal material is lower than 20%, the diffusion rate of lithium ions will decrease, which is not conducive to the fast charge and discharge performance of lithium-ion batteries and causes battery capacity attenuation.
[0061] And / or, the Dv50 of the cathode active material is 10 - 30 μm. Preferably, the ratio of the Dv50 of the ternary single-crystal material to that of the lithium cobaltate material is 0.1 - 10. As an example, the Dv50 of the cathode active material can be 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, or within the range composed of any of the above values; the ratio of the Dv50 of the ternary single-crystal material to that of the lithium cobaltate material can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0062] Those skilled in the art can understand that a relatively large particle size of the positive electrode active material may lead to a longer diffusion path for lithium ions during the insertion and extraction processes, an increase in internal resistance, thereby reducing the energy density of the battery. In addition, the large-particle positive electrode active material is prone to particle breakage during charge and discharge, damaging the electrode structure and affecting the cycle life of the battery. However, an overly small particle size of the positive electrode active material will result in an increase in the specific surface area of the material and a corresponding increase in surface energy, making the composite material prone to agglomeration and uneven distribution. At the same time, the side reactions on the surface of the positive electrode active material with an overly small particle size will increase correspondingly, ultimately leading to a decline in the comprehensive performance of the positive electrode active material, resulting in a decrease in battery capacity and a deterioration of the battery cycle life. By adjusting the particle size of the positive electrode active material within the above range in this application, a balance between energy density and cycle performance can be achieved.
[0063] In this application, by defining the ratio of Dv50 of the ternary single crystal material to the lithium cobaltate material, the particle size distribution of the positive electrode active material can be optimized, the diffusion rate of lithium ions and the insertion / extraction efficiency can be improved, thereby enhancing the energy density, high-temperature cycle performance and rate performance of the battery. If the ratio of the particle sizes of the two is less than 0.1, it may lead to uneven mixing, affecting the uniformity of electrode coating, and further causing local stress concentration or a decrease in the utilization rate of the active material. It will also make the lithium ion diffusion path more complex, especially under high-voltage or high-rate conditions, increasing the polarization phenomenon and reducing the rate performance. When the ratio of the particle sizes of the two is greater than 10, the particles of the ternary single crystal material are relatively large, and there are more catalytic elements such as Ni contained therein, and there are more by-products for the battery cycle. The volume changes are inconsistent during charge and discharge, which may lead to local stress concentration, causing particle breakage or electrode cracking.
[0064] In some optional embodiments, the positive electrode active material further contains a first element, and the first element includes at least one of Al, Mg, Ti, Zr, Nb, and Mo. Preferably, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass percentage content of the first element is 0.3%-3.5%. As an example, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass percentage content of the first element can be 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 2.0%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3.0%, 3.3%, 3.5%, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0065] It should be noted that the first element can be doped in the lithium cobaltate material, or in the ternary single crystal material, or simultaneously doped in both the lithium cobaltate material and the ternary single crystal material. In this application, in the positive electrode active material, by doping the above-mentioned first element, the charge transfer resistance inside the positive electrode active material is further reduced, the resistance encountered by lithium ions during diffusion is decreased, the diffusion rate of lithium ions is increased, and the polarization degree during charge and discharge is reduced, which means that the voltage loss inside the battery is reduced. If the voltage loss is large (big voltage drop), it will cause the overall performance of the battery pack to decline, such as a decrease in capacity and an increase in internal resistance, thereby affecting the cycle capacity retention rate and service life of the battery, and it may also cause some single cells to be overcharged or over-discharged, thus triggering serious safety accidents such as fires or explosions. When the mass percentage content of the doped element > 3.5%, when there are too many metal elements doped in the positive electrode active material, it may hinder the lithium ion transmission channel, resulting in a decline in the rate performance of the battery. This is because too many doped metal elements may occupy the positions of lithium ions, making the diffusion of lithium ions in the positive electrode material difficult. The doping of metal elements may also change the electrochemical properties of the positive electrode active material, causing the battery to generate more heat during charge and discharge. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will cause the battery temperature to rise, increasing the risk of thermal runaway and explosion. When the mass percentage content of the doping content < 0.3%, when there are too few metal elements doped in the positive electrode active material, the improvement effect of the metal elements on the battery performance may not be fully exerted. For example, the doping of some metal elements (such as aluminum, titanium, etc.) can improve the conductivity and rate performance of the positive electrode material, but if the doping amount is insufficient, these improvement effects may not be obvious.
[0066] In addition, it should be noted that the sodium element and the first element in the positive electrode active material can be doped by a solid-phase doping method. Through a high-temperature solid-phase reaction, the doped element is mixed and calcined with the raw materials, so that the doped atoms diffuse into the lattice.
[0067] As an example, the general chemical formula of the lithium cobaltate material is: Li b Na 1-b Co a A 1-a O 2 ; where A is selected from at least one of Al, Mg, Ti, Zr, Nb, Mo, 0 ≤ a < 1, 0 < b < 1.
[0068] As an example, the chemical formula of the ternary single crystal material can be LiNi x Co y Mn z N (1-x-y-z) O 2, where each N is independently selected from at least one of Mg, Cu, Zn, Sn, B, Ga, Cr, Sr, V, and Ti, 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 1, 0 < z < 1, and x + y + z ≤ 1; specifically, the composition of the ternary single crystal material can be LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 、LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O 2 etc.
[0069] In some alternative embodiments, the electrolyte further includes a fluorinated ethylene carbonate compound. Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the fluorinated ethylene carbonate compound is m3%, and 5 ≤ m3 ≤ 25; as an example, based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the fluorinated ethylene carbonate compound can be 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 18%, 20%, 23%, 25%, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0070] Those skilled in the art can understand that the fluorinated ethylene carbonate compound is a film-forming protection additive on the negative electrode, which can effectively prevent the direct contact between the electrolyte and the negative electrode, thereby reducing the occurrence of side reactions. At the same time, the fluorinated ethylene carbonate compound can form a stable coordination bond with lithium ions, thereby enhancing the dissolution stability of lithium ions, which helps to reduce the migration and drift of lithium ions and improve the conduction efficiency of lithium ions; while the fluorobenzene compound can be used as a solvent to dilute the high-concentration electrolyte, which can effectively reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte and ensure the low-impedance migration of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes. The combined use of the two can jointly improve the conduction of lithium ions on the negative electrode side and improve the charge and discharge performance and cycle performance at low temperatures.
[0071] Preferably, the mass percentage content of the fluorobenzene compound and the fluorinated ethylene carbonate compound satisfies: 12 ≤ m1 + m3 ≤ 50; preferably, the fluorinated ethylene carbonate compound includes at least one of fluorinated ethylene carbonate, difluorinated ethylene carbonate, trifluoromethyl carbonate, 4,4,5,5-tetrafluoro-1,3-dioxolane-2-one (183301-46-4). As an example, the sum of the mass percentage content of the fluorobenzene compound and the fluorinated ethylene carbonate compound m1 + m3 can be 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, or within the range composed of any of the above values. In this application, when the value of m1 + m3 is within the above range, it can ensure that the electrolyte has an appropriate viscosity, can form an SEI film with sufficient thickness and quality, and further improve the diffusion rate and cycling performance of lithium ions. When the value of m1 + m3 is higher than 50, it will cause an increase in the viscosity of the electrolyte, affecting the further improvement of the diffusion rate of lithium ions; in addition, under abnormal conditions such as high temperature or short circuit, excessive fluorobenzene compounds and fluorinated ethylene carbonate compounds may cause thermal runaway and combustion of the electrolyte, increasing the safety hazards of the battery. When the value of m1 + m3 is lower than 12, it will affect the thickness and quality of the formed SEI film, limiting the further improvement of the battery cycling stability and the capacity retention rate at high temperature.
[0072] In some alternative embodiments, the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode active material, and the mass percentage content of silicon element in the negative electrode active material is M%, and the mass percentage content of silicon element in the negative electrode active material and the mass percentage content of the fluorobenzene compound in the electrolyte satisfy: 0.3 ≤ M / m1 ≤ 5, 3 ≤ M ≤ 30; as an example, the mass percentage content of silicon element in the negative electrode active material can be 3%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, or within the range composed of any of the above values; the ratio of the mass percentage content of silicon element in the negative electrode active material to the mass percentage content of the fluorobenzene compound in the electrolyte M / m1 can be 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0073] It should be noted that in the silicon-doped system, fluorobenzene compounds can reduce the activation energy of lithium-ion diffusion in silicon-containing anode materials. The reduction of the activation energy means that the energy barrier that lithium ions need to overcome during diffusion decreases. Fluorobenzene compounds can form a solvent shell around silicon atoms or other solute molecules. This solvent shell can stabilize the charge distribution and geometric configuration of solute molecules, thereby reducing the energy of the system and increasing the diffusion rate of lithium ions. Fluorobenzene compounds can also form a stable interfacial protective film on the anode. The stable interface helps to reduce the charge transfer resistance and concentration polarization at the interface, thereby improving the diffusion efficiency of lithium ions.
[0074] When M / m1 is greater than 5, it indicates that the silicon element content is relatively too high, and the side reaction between the interface on the anode side and the electrolyte increases, which will exacerbate this volume change effect, resulting in battery structure damage, accelerated capacity decay, and shortened battery life. When M / m1 is less than 0.3, it indicates that the content of fluorobenzene substances is relatively too high, which may have a negative impact on the electrolyte content of the battery and the wetting ability of the electrolyte on the electrode plate, thereby affecting the charge-discharge performance and life of the battery. In addition, too high a fluorine content in the electrolyte may also cause the internal reaction of the battery to get out of control, resulting in a violent reaction and even safety problems such as battery explosion.
[0075] In this application, the selection of the anode active material can be conventional in the field, including but not limited to at least one of artificial graphite and silicon-carbon materials, etc.
[0076] Preferably, the anode active material includes artificial graphite and silicon-carbon materials, and the Dv50 particle size of the silicon-carbon material is d μm, where 5 ≤ d ≤ 30. As an example, the particle size of the silicon-carbon material can be 5 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0077] Those skilled in the art can understand that the particle size of the silicon-carbon material will also affect the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions in the anode. Smaller particle size particles have a larger specific surface area, making it easier for lithium ions to contact the inside of the particles, thereby shortening the diffusion path and increasing the diffusion coefficient. However, too small a particle size of the silicon-carbon material will cause an increase in the specific surface area of the material and a corresponding increase in surface energy, making the silicon-carbon material more likely to agglomerate. The side reactions on the surface of the silicon-carbon material with too small a particle size will increase accordingly, ultimately resulting in a decline in the comprehensive performance of the anode material, leading to a decrease in battery capacity and a deterioration of the battery cycle life. A larger particle size of the silicon-carbon material may lead to a longer diffusion path and an increase in internal resistance during the insertion and extraction of lithium ions, thereby reducing the energy density of the battery. Large particle silicon-carbon materials are prone to particle breakage during charge and discharge, damaging the electrode structure and affecting the battery cycle life. In this application, the particle size of the silicon-carbon material is limited to the above range, which can better balance the diffusion coefficient and cycle performance.
[0078] In some optional embodiments, a plurality of holes are provided on the surface of the negative electrode sheet. The aperture of the holes is d1 μm, where 50 ≤ d1 ≤ 500, and the depth of the holes is d2 μm, where 5 ≤ d2 ≤ 45. The center distance between two adjacent holes is d3 μm, where 100 ≤ d3 ≤ 2000. As an example, the aperture of the holes can be 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 150 μm, 170 μm, 200 μm, 250 μm, 300 μm, 350 μm, 400 μm, 450 μm, 500 μm, or within the range composed of any of the above values; the depth of the holes can be 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, 17 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 45 μm, or within the range composed of any of the above values. As an example, the center distance between the adjacent holes can be 100 μm, 150 μm, 170 μm, 190 μm, 210 μm, 230 μm, 250 μm, 300 μm, 350 μm, 400 μm, 500 μm, 600 μm, 800 μm, 1000 μm, 1200 μm, 1500 μm, 1700 μm, 1900 μm, 2000 μm, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0079] Those skilled in the art can understand that by providing a plurality of holes on the surface of the negative electrode sheet, the penetration rate of the electrolyte in the electrode sheet with holes will also increase accordingly, which is beneficial to the conduction of lithium ions and the improvement of battery performance. If the aperture and depth of the holes are too large or the center distance between two adjacent holes is too small, it may lead to insufficient compaction of the electrode material and prone to the problem of electrode loosening. This will not only affect the service life of the battery, but also exacerbate the polarization effect of the battery and further reduce the cycle life of the battery. In addition, during the charge and discharge process, too large pores will cause large volume changes in the electrode material, resulting in the destruction of the electrode structure and rapid attenuation of the capacity. However, if the aperture and depth of the holes are too small or the center distance between two adjacent holes is too large, the improvement of the wetting performance of the electrolyte is not obvious, thereby affecting the further improvement of the lithium ion transport efficiency.
[0080] In some optional embodiments, the CB value of the battery is denoted as N / P, where 1.05 ≤ N / P ≤ 1.5; as an example, the N / P can be 1.05, 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.35, 1.4, 1.45, 1.5, or within the range composed of any of the above values.
[0081] Preferably, N / P and m1 satisfy: N / P ≥ m1 / 10.
[0082] Those skilled in the art can understand that in the design of lithium batteries, the CB value (Cell Balance) refers to the margin by which the negative electrode capacity exceeds the positive electrode capacity within the same stage, also known as N / P (Negative / Positive). The calculation formula for the CB value is as follows:
[0083] CB value = (gram capacity of negative electrode active material × negative electrode surface density × negative electrode active material content ratio) / (gram capacity of positive electrode active material × positive electrode surface density × positive electrode active material content ratio).
[0084] It should be noted that in this application, the gram capacity of the positive and negative electrode active materials is calculated through experiments. For example, for the prepared electrode material, using the active material electrode as the working electrode, metallic lithium as the counter electrode, and an electrolyte (such as LiPF / EC-DMC) and a separator to form a half-cell (button cell), under a constant current charge-discharge mode (such as 0.1C rate), record the first charge-discharge curve:
[0085] Gram capacity (mAh / g) = {discharge capacity (mAh)} / {mass of active material in the electrode (g)}.
[0086] By controlling the CB value within the above range, this application can effectively improve the fast charging performance of the battery at room temperature, prevent lithium plating, and further improve the safety performance. If the CB value is too small, lithium plating is likely to occur, resulting in hindered lithium ion transmission. However, if the CB value is too large, the cycle life attenuation is relatively obvious. This is because during the charge-discharge process, the negative electrode may overreact, leading to the loss of active material and the destruction of the structure. This overreaction will accelerate the capacity attenuation of the negative electrode, thereby affecting the cycle life of the entire battery.
[0087] In this application, by regulating the N / P and m1 to satisfy the above relationship, the complex formed by the fluorobenzene compound and lithium ions helps to accelerate the diffusion process of lithium ions, improve the transmission rate of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes, and thus reduce the safety risk; the negative electrode has sufficient capacity to accept lithium ions, and the fluorobenzene compound can be more evenly reduced on the surface of the negative electrode to form a stable SEI film, avoiding overcharging of the positive electrode and lithium plating on the negative electrode. Moreover, the fluorobenzene compound further removes the active substances in the electrolyte, reducing the occurrence of side reactions. It reduces the stress concentration and local overheating risk inside the battery, and the fluorobenzene compound improves the thermal stability of the electrolyte. The combined effect of the two significantly reduces the possibility of thermal runaway.
[0088] Those skilled in the art can understand that during the charge-discharge process of the battery, lithium ions are embedded and extracted back and forth between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The electrolyte plays a role in conducting ions between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The separator is arranged between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, mainly to prevent short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes, and at the same time allows lithium ions to pass through.
[0089] As an example, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer. The positive electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite to each other in its own thickness direction, and the positive electrode active material layer is provided on either one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.

The materials, compositions, and manufacturing methods of the negative electrode sheet used in the lithium-ion secondary battery of the present application may include any techniques disclosed in the prior art.

Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the concentration of the lithium salt is 12-18%.
