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.

[0093] In the present application, the tap density of the electrode sheet has the meaning well-known in the art and can be measured by methods known in the art. Under the condition that the state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell is 0%, the electrode sheet is removed from the lithium-ion battery, and a certain area of the electrode sheet is taken. The mass and thickness of the electrode sheet and the current collector after removing the film layer are measured respectively. According to the following formula, the tap density of the electrode sheet is calculated. 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].

[0094] 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 any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0095] 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. The areal density of the single-sided film layer = (M1 - M0) / S1. To ensure the accuracy of the test results, multiple groups (for example, 10 groups) of samples to be tested can be tested, and the average value can be calculated as the test result.

[0096] 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 positive electrode film layer of the positive electrode sheet is 2.3 - 2.6 g / cc. Thus, a suitable tap density is beneficial to further adjust the porosity of the positive 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 positive electrode film layer of the positive electrode sheet can be 2.3 g / cc, 2.31 g / cc, 2.32 g / cc, 2.33 g / cc, 2.34 g / cc, 2.35 g / cc, 2.36 g / cc, 2.37 g / cc, 2.38 g / cc, 2.39 g / cc, 2.4 g / cc, 2.41 g / cc, 2.42 g / cc, 2.43 g / cc, 2.44 g / cc, 2.45 g / cc, 2.46 g / cc, 2.47 g / cc, 2.48 g / cc, 2.49 g / cc, 2.5 g / cc, 2.51 g / cc, 2.52 g / cc, 2.53 g / cc, 2.54 g / cc, 2.55 g / cc, 2.56 g / cc, 2.57 g / cc, 2.58 g / cc, 2.59 g / cc, 2.6 g / cc or any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0097] In some embodiments, the areal density of the single-sided positive electrode film layer of the positive electrode sheet is 0.25 - 0.33 g / 1540.25 mm 2 . Thus, a suitable areal density is beneficial to further adjust the porosity of the positive electrode sheet within a suitable range. The areal density of the single-sided positive electrode film layer of the positive electrode sheet can be 0.25 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.26 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.27 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.28 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.29 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.3 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.31 g / 1540.25 mm 2, 0.32 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.33 g / 1540.25 mm 2 Or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

The composite current collector can include a polymer material substrate and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material substrate. The composite current collector can be formed by forming a metal material (such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver, and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).

[0099] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer may optionally further include a binder. As an example, the binder may include at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), vinylidene fluoride - tetrafluoroethylene - propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride - hexafluoropropylene - tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene - hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and fluorinated acrylate resin.

As an example, the conductive agent may include at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

[0101] In some embodiments, the positive electrode plate can be prepared in the following manner: Disperse the components for preparing the positive electrode plate described above, such as the positive electrode active material, conductive agent, binder, and any other components, in a solvent (such as N - methylpyrrolidone) to form a positive electrode slurry; coat the positive electrode slurry on the positive electrode current collector, and after processes such as drying and cold pressing, the positive electrode plate can be obtained.

[0102] In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector can be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, as the metal foil, copper foil can be used. The composite current collector can include a polymer material substrate and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material substrate. The composite current collector can be formed by forming a metal material (such as copper, copper alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver, and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).

The binder may be selected from at least one of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polyacrylic acid (PAA), sodium polyacrylate (PAAS), polyacrylamide (PAM), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS).

[0104] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer may further optionally include a conductive agent. The conductive agent may be selected from at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

[0105] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer may further optionally include other additives, such as a thickening agent (e.g., sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na)), etc.

[0106] In some embodiments, the negative electrode plate can be prepared in the following manner: dispersing the components for preparing the negative electrode plate described above, such as the negative electrode active material, conductive agent, binder, and any other components, in a solvent (e.g., deionized water) to form a negative electrode slurry; coating the negative electrode slurry on the negative electrode current collector, and after processes such as drying and cold pressing, the negative electrode plate can be obtained.

[0107] 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 graphite in the second negative electrode active material is smaller than the average longest diameter of graphite in the first negative electrode active material.

[0108] As used herein, the "average longest diameter" means that the electrode plate is ion-polished and cut along the thickness direction of the electrode plate to expose the cross-section of the film layer. The cross-section of the film layer can be tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). At a magnification of 1000 times in the SEM scenario, more than 50 particles are randomly selected, and the length of the longest straight line passing through the center point of each particle and extending to the outer periphery of the particle is measured. Then, the average value of the longest straight line lengths of these particles is taken.

[0109] The average longest diameter of graphite used in the second film layer 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 cell. While 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.

[0110] In some embodiments, the average longest diameter particle size of graphite in the first negative electrode active material is 7 to 18 μm. Thus, it is beneficial to exert the effect that the compaction density of the first film layer is relatively higher. The average longest diameter particle size 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, 16 μm, 17 μm, 18 μm or a numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0111] In some embodiments, the graphite in the first negative electrode active material includes at least one of artificial graphite and natural graphite.

[0112] Artificial graphite and natural graphite can be distinguished by the SEM cross-sectional view taken by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). There are voids between flake 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 the X-ray diffraction method. There are obvious 2H phase and 3R phase in the XRD spectrum of natural graphite, and only the 2H phase exists in the XRD spectrum of artificial graphite.

[0113] In some embodiments, the graphite in the first negative electrode active material includes graphite with a secondary particle morphology.

[0114] 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 it is impossible to define smaller particles 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.

[0115] 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 numerous primary particles.

[0116] 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.

[0117] In this application, the volume-based particle size Dv50 of the material represents the particle size corresponding to when the cumulative volume distribution percentage of the material reaches 50%, and it can be measured by instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be conveniently measured with reference to GB / T 19077-2016 Laser Diffraction Method for Particle Size Distribution using a laser particle size analyzer. The test instrument can be the Mastersizer 3000 laser particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments Limited, UK.

[0118] In some embodiments, the graphite in the first negative electrode active material includes a carbon coating layer, and the thickness of the carbon coating layer is 100 - 500 nm. The carbon coating layer is beneficial to improving the electrical conductivity of the negative electrode active material. 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 any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0119] 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.

[0120] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of the graphite in the first negative electrode active material is 90 - 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 the first negative electrode active material can be 90%, 90.5%, 91%, 91.5%, 92%, 92.5%, 93%, 93.5%, 94% or any numerical range composed of any two of the above values.

[0121] 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.

[0122] In the present 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).

[0123] In some embodiments, the first negative electrode active material further includes a silicon material, and the mass ratio of silicon element in the silicon material in the first negative electrode active material is 0.5 to 10%.

[0124] In the present 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, the extraction solvent is dissolved with hydrochloric acid, and then the obtained solution is fixed to an appropriate volume and quantitatively tested using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer ICP-OES.

[0125] In some embodiments, the average longest diameter particle size of graphite in the second negative electrode active material is 6 to 10 μm. Thus, it is beneficial to play the role that the ion transport distance in the second film layer is relatively shorter.

[0130] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of graphite in the second negative electrode active material is 90 to 94%.

The graphitization degree of 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first film layer is 30% to 70% of the total thickness of the negative electrode film layer.

[0134] The thicknesses of the first film layer and the second film layer can be characterized by transmission electron microscopy (SEM) tests. The cross-section of the negative electrode sheet is observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the thicknesses of the first film layer and the second film layer are observed based on the difference in the average maximum particle diameter of the active materials in the first film layer and the second film layer. For example, after observing 5 times, the average value is taken.

[0135] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate includes lithium iron phosphate, and the lithium iron phosphate includes metal elements, and the metal elements include at least one of aluminum, titanium, and vanadium. Adding the above metal elements to lithium iron phosphate is beneficial to improving the tap density of the positive electrode active material.

[0136] In this application, the contents of aluminum, titanium, and vanadium in the lithium-containing phosphate can be tested by instruments and methods known in the art. For example, the lithium-containing phosphate can be placed in a proper digestion solvent, concentrated nitric acid solvent, and digested by the plate digestion method.

As an example, 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) can be used to characterize the components and contents of the electrolyte. Exemplarily, referring to GB / T-9722-2006 / GB / T6041-2002, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are used in combination. After the gas chromatography separates the components in the sample, 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, obtaining the qualitative analysis of each organic component in the electrolyte. 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, obtaining the quantitative test analysis of the organic components in the electrolyte.

[0149] The addition of chain carboxylic acid esters as solvents in 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.

[0169] In some embodiments, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte at 25 °C is 11 to 13 mS / cm. Thus, the appropriate ionic conductivity is beneficial for the rapid migration of ions between the electrodes. 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.

[0195] Battery cells in Examples 2 - 9 and Comparative Examples 1 - 9 were prepared by a method similar to that of Example 1. The differences from Example 1 are shown in Table 1.

[0196] Performance Test: (1) Fast Charging Performance Test of Battery: 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 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 respectively until 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 until the full battery discharge cut-off voltage of 2.1V. Plot a curve of different SOC - charging rates, and read the charging rates corresponding to 10% SOC, 20% SOC... 80% SOC from this curve, 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 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.

[0197] (2) Internal Resistance Performance Test: The batteries of the above embodiments and comparative examples were first charged and discharged at a current of 1C (i.e., the current value for completely discharging the theoretical capacity within 1 h), specifically including: at 25 °C, the battery was charged at a constant current of 1C rate until the voltage reached 3.65V, then charged at a constant voltage until the current ≤ 0.05C, left standing for 5 min, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.5C rate for 1 h until 50% of the battery power. Then the battery was discharged at a constant current of 4C0 (the current magnitude is denoted as I) for 10 s, and the voltage U1 before discharge and the voltage U2 after discharge were recorded. The internal resistance R = (U1 - U2) / I.

[0198] (3)Energy density test: At 25 °C, the assembled battery was 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 was recorded; at 25 °C, the battery was weighed using an electronic balance; the ratio of the actual discharge energy of the battery at 0.5C to the battery weight was the energy density of the battery.

[0199]

[0200] In Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, the porosity of the electrode sheets was relatively low, which could improve the energy density of the battery. However, due to the low porosity, the internal resistance was large, which was not conducive to fast charging, resulting in too long charging time. Moreover, due to the low porosity, the DC internal resistance was large, which was likely to cause poor power performance.

[0201] In Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 4, the porosity of the electrode sheets was relatively high, which was beneficial to the movement of ions, beneficial to the improvement of fast charging and power performance, but the energy density of the battery decreased too much.

[0202] In Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 7, the proportion of the current collector thickness was relatively small, occupying less space in the battery, and the energy density of the battery was improved. However, the DC internal resistance increased and the power performance was too poor.

[0203] In Comparative Example 6 and Comparative Example 8, the proportion of the current collector thickness was relatively large. Although the DC internal resistance of the current collector decreased, the current collector occupied the space of the battery, and the energy density of the battery decreased too much.

[0204] In the embodiments of the present application, by adjusting the porosity of the positive electrode sheet to 20% - 30%, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector was 5% - 8% of the thickness of the positive electrode sheet; the porosity of the negative electrode sheet was 24% - 33%; the thickness of the negative electrode current collector was 2.5% - 5% of the thickness of the negative electrode sheet. That is, it could shorten the transmission distance of ions in the electrode material, improve the fast charging performance and power performance of the battery cell, and reduce the space occupied by non-active materials, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell.

[0205] In Examples 10 - 13, battery cells were prepared using a method similar to that of Example 1. The differences from Example 1 are shown in Table 2.

[0206] Table 2

[0207] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 10, when the average longest diameter particle size of the graphite in the two film layers of the negative electrode sheet is the same, although the number of charge-discharge cycles and the energy density are improved to a certain extent, the fast charging performance deteriorates. In Example 1, the average longest diameter particle sizes of the graphite in the two film layers are different. After particle grading, while the fast charging performance is better, good charge-discharge cycle numbers and energy density are also taken into account. The average longest diameter particle size of the graphite used in the second film layer of Example 1 is relatively smaller, and the ion transport distance of the 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.

[0208] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 10-13, reducing the average longest diameter particle size of the graphite in the first film layer of the negative electrode sheet is beneficial to reducing the DC internal resistance and improving the power performance. Reducing the average longest diameter particle size of the primary particles and the average longest diameter particle size of the secondary particles of the active material in the positive electrode sheet is beneficial to reducing the DC internal resistance and improving the power performance.

[0209] It should be noted that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments are only examples, and embodiments with the same structure in essence as the technical idea and achieving the same effect within the technical solution scope 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 those skilled in the art can think of applied to the embodiments, and other ways constructed by combining some constituent elements of the embodiments are also included in the scope of this application.
