[0003] In recent years, batteries have been widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydroelectric, thermal, wind and solar power stations, as well as in multiple fields such as power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace, etc. With the popularization of battery applications, higher requirements have also been put forward for their energy density, fast charging performance, cycling performance, service life, safety performance, etc. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a new type of battery cell, which has excellent fast charging performance and also takes into account having a relatively high energy density, good cycling performance, and low DC internal resistance.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the first aspect of this application provides a battery cell, including a positive electrode tab, a negative electrode tab, an electrolyte, and a separator located between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab. The positive electrode tab includes a negative current collector and a positive electrode film layer provided on at least one surface of the positive current collector. The positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing phosphate in an olivine structure; the negative electrode tab includes a negative current collector and a negative electrode film layer provided on at least one surface of the negative current collector. The negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material, and the average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is 8 μm to 15 μm. The negative electrode active material includes graphite; the electrolyte includes a carbonate additive, and the carbonate additive includes fluoroethylene carbonate FEC and vinylene carbonate VC; based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass ratio of the carbonate additive is 0.5% to 7%.
[0006] The battery charging process is a process in which lithium ions are removed from the positive electrode active material and embedded inside the negative electrode active material. And during fast charging, the embedding ability of lithium ions in the negative electrode active material becomes the bottleneck restricting the improvement of the battery's fast charging ability. In this application, by using a negative electrode active material with a small particle size, the transmission path of lithium ions in the negative electrode active material is reduced, the embedding difficulty of lithium ions in the negative electrode active material is reduced, the lithium deposition during the fast charging process of the battery is slowed down, the charging time of the battery is reduced, the internal resistance of the battery is reduced, the battery temperature rise during the fast charging process is reduced, and the battery safety performance is improved; However, when the particle size of the negative electrode active material is small, the corresponding specific surface area is large, which increases the contact area between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte and increases the side reactions at the phase interface. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the composition of the solid electrolyte interface membrane (Solid Electrolyte Interface membrane, SEI membrane) of the negative electrode active material. In this application, by introducing a higher content of the carbonate-based electrolyte film-forming additives fluoroethylene carbonate FEC and vinylene carbonate VC and reasonably controlling the content to optimize the composition of the negative electrode SEI membrane, on the one hand, the film-forming rate and film-forming quality of the SEI membrane are higher, timely and efficiently hindering the side reactions between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte, improving the cycle performance of the battery, and on the other hand, reducing the film impedance of the SEI membrane, further improving the fast charging performance of the battery and reducing the internal resistance of the battery.
[0007] In the battery cell provided by this application, a carbonate-based additive with a mass ratio within the above range, such as fluoroethylene carbonate and vinylene carbonate, is also added to the electrolyte, which can form an SEI membrane on the surface of the negative electrode, thereby reducing the side reactions occurring between the graphite with a particle size within the above range and the electrolyte, and further enabling the battery to have good cycle performance.

[0088] In recent years, with the increasing demand for batteries as an energy source, higher requirements have been put forward for the fast charging performance of batteries.

The negative active material includes graphite. The electrolyte includes a carbonate additive, and the carbonate additive includes fluoroethylene carbonate FEC and vinylene carbonate VC. Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the carbonate additive is 0.5% to 7%.
[0090] In some embodiments, the "average particle size Dv50" means: in the particle size distribution of particles, starting from the small particle size side, the particle size corresponding to when the cumulative volume distribution percentage reaches 50%. Its measurement method can refer to GB / T19077-2016 / ISO13320:2009 and be measured using a Malvern 2000 (MasterSizer 2000) laser particle size analyzer.
[0091] In the embodiments of the present application, the types and contents of the organic components in the electrolyte have meanings well-known in the art and can be detected using equipment and methods well-known in the art.

[0094] The battery charging process is a process in which lithium ions are removed from the positive electrode active material and embedded inside the negative electrode active material. And during fast charging, the embedding ability of lithium ions in the negative electrode active material becomes a bottleneck restricting the improvement of the battery's fast charging ability. The present application uses a negative electrode active material with a small particle size to reduce the transmission path of lithium ions in the negative electrode active material, reduce the embedding difficulty of lithium ions in the negative electrode active material, slow down the lithium deposition during the fast charging process of the battery, reduce the charging time of the battery, and reduce the internal resistance of the battery, reduce the battery temperature rise during the fast charging process, and improve the battery safety performance; however, when the particle size of the negative electrode active material is small, the corresponding specific surface area is large, which increases the contact surface between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte and increases the side reactions at the phase interface. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the SEI film components of the negative electrode active material. The present application optimizes the negative electrode SEI film composition by introducing a higher content of carbonate-based electrolyte film-forming additives FEC and VC and reasonably controlling the content. On the one hand, the film-forming rate and film-forming quality of the SEI film are higher, which can timely and efficiently hinder the side reactions between the negative electrode active material and the electrolyte and improve the cycle performance of the battery. On the other hand, the film impedance of the SEI film is reduced, further improving the fast charging performance of the battery and reducing the internal resistance of the battery.
[0095] [Negative electrode plate] In some embodiments, the negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer disposed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector. As an example, the negative electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite to each other in its own thickness direction, and the negative electrode film layer is disposed on any one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.
[0096] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material.
[0097] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is 8 μm to 15 μm, such as 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 8 μm to 15 μm. In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes graphite.
[0098] In the battery cell provided by the present application, when the negative electrode active material (such as graphite) has a particle size within the above range, it has a relatively large specific surface area, the migration channels for lithium ions between the graphite layers increase, and the migration path becomes shorter, thereby accelerating the intercalation and deintercalation speed of lithium ions between the graphite layers, enabling the battery cell to have good fast charging performance; at the same time, when the negative electrode active material (such as graphite) has a particle size within the above range, it can also improve the DC internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery and enabling the battery to have good safety performance.
[0099] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is from 9.5 μm to 11.5 μm, such as 9.5 μm, 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, etc., or other values not listed within the range of 9.5 μm to 11.5 μm.
[0100] When the negative electrode active material (such as graphite) has a particle size within the above range, it can further improve the fast charging performance and DC internal resistance of the battery, and at the same time enable the battery to have good cycle performance.
[0101] In some embodiments, the specific surface area of the negative electrode active material is 3 m 2 / g to 8 m 2 / g, such as 3 m 2 / g, 4 m 2 / g, 5 m 2 / g, 6 m 2 / g, 7 m 2 / g, 8 m 2 / g, etc., or other values not listed within the range of 3 m 2 / g to 8 m 2 / g.

[0103] As used herein, "specific surface area" refers to the total area per unit mass of a material. The measurement method can refer to GB / T 19587-2017, and the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area analysis test method is used for testing and calculated by the BET (Brunauer Emmett Teller) method. Among them, the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area analysis test can be carried out by a Tri-Star 3020 specific surface area and pore size analyzer of Micromeritics Company in the United States.
[0104] As a negative electrode active material, for example, graphite, when it has a specific surface area within the above range, it can further accelerate the insertion and extraction rate of lithium ions between the graphite layers, thereby further improving the fast charging performance of the battery.

In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector includes a negative electrode current collecting portion, the negative electrode film layer includes a first negative electrode active material layer disposed on the surface of the negative electrode current collecting portion and a second negative electrode active material layer disposed on the side of the first negative electrode active material layer away from the negative electrode current collecting portion. The negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode active material layer includes first artificial graphite, and the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode active material layer includes second artificial graphite. The average particle size Dv50 of the first artificial graphite is greater than the average particle size Dv50 of the second artificial graphite.
[0106] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the first artificial graphite is 11 μm to 15 μm, such as 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 11 μm to 15 μm.
[0107] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the second artificial graphite is 8 μm to 15 μm, such as 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 8 μm to 15 μm.
[0108] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the second artificial graphite is 9.5 μm to 11.5 μm, such as 9.5 μm, 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 9.5 μm to 11.5 μm.
[0109] In the battery cell provided by the present application, when the above double-layer coating scheme is adopted in the negative electrode film layer, the kinetic performance of the battery can be further improved.

[0112] 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.
[0113] In some embodiments, the areal density of the single-sided negative electrode film layer is 0.15 g / 1540.25mm 2 to 0.19 g / 1540.25mm 2 , such as 0.15 g / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.16 g / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.17 g / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.18 g / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.19 g / 1540.25mm 2 , etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 0.15 g / 1540.25mm 2 to 0.19 g / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0114] In some embodiments, the areal density of the single-sided negative electrode film layer is 0.15 g / 1540.25mm 2 to 0.165 g / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0115] As used herein, the "areal density" of the positive electrode film layer or the negative electrode film layer has the meaning well-known in the art and can be tested by methods known in the art. For example, take a single-sided coated and cold-pressed negative electrode plate (if it is a double-sided coated negative electrode plate, the negative electrode film layer on one side can be wiped off first), punch it into small round pieces with an area of S1, weigh it, and record it as M1. Then wipe off the negative electrode film layer of the above-mentioned weighed negative electrode plate and weigh the weight of the negative electrode current collector, record it as M0. The areal density of the negative electrode film layer = (the weight M1 of the negative electrode plate - the weight M0 of the negative electrode current collector) / S1. To ensure the accuracy of the test results, multiple groups (e.g., 10 groups) of samples to be tested can be tested, and the average value can be calculated as the test result.
[0116] In the battery cell provided by the present application, when the coating areal density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the energy density of the battery can be further improved, and the influence of thick coating on the electrochemical performance can be avoided, thereby further improving the fast charging performance of the battery.

[0132] In some embodiments, the negative electrode plate can be prepared in the following manner: dispersing the components for preparing the negative electrode plate, such as the negative electrode active material, the conductive agent, the binder, and any other components, in a solvent (such as 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.
[0133] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the negative electrode plate is 1.3 g / cm 3 to 1.6 g / cm 3 , such as 1.3 g / cm 3 , 1.4 g / cm 3 , 1.5 g / cm 3 , 1.6 g / cm 3 , etc., or other values not listed within the range of 1.3 g / cm 3 to 1.6 g / cm 3 .

It can be understood that new materials or substances obtained by appropriate modification on the basis of the listed cathode active materials are also within the scope of cathode active materials. The aforementioned appropriate modification refers to the acceptable modification methods for cathode active materials, and non-limiting examples include coating modification.
[0143] When the lithium-containing phosphate as the cathode active material has the above chemical general formula, the energy density of the battery can be further improved.
[0144] In some embodiments, M includes one or more of Al, Ti, V, and Mg.
[0145] In some embodiments, the cathode active material contains Al element, and its mass content is 0.001% - 0.05%, optionally 0.01% - 0.05%, based on the total mass of the cathode active material. For example, 0.001%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 0.001% - 0.05%, based on the total mass of the cathode active material.

[0151] In some embodiments, in the cross-section of the positive electrode film layer along the thickness direction, the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure includes a first lithium-containing phosphate particle with a longest diameter of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm. For example, 0.05 μm, 0.1 μm, 0.15 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.25 μm, 0.3 μm, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm.
[0152] In some embodiments, in the cross-section of the positive electrode film layer along the thickness direction, the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure includes a second lithium-containing phosphate particle with a longest diameter of 1 μm to 3 μm. For example, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 1 μm to 3 μm.
[0153] In some embodiments, since the first lithium-containing phosphate and the second lithium-containing phosphate have been fully mixed during the preparation of the slurry and uniformly coated on the current collector to form the positive electrode film layer, therefore, any cross-section taken along the thickness direction of the electrode can represent the particle size and distribution of the lithium-containing phosphate in the entire electrode; when selecting the cross-section, it is preferably a flat cross-section in the middle of the electrode to more clearly observe the distribution of the lithium-containing phosphate therein.
[0154] In some embodiments, the "longest diameter" means: cutting the positive electrode sheet including lithium-containing phosphate particles along the thickness direction of the sheet to expose the longitudinal section of the positive electrode film layer; determining the longest diameter of the lithium-containing phosphate particles by performing a scanning electron microscope (SEM) test on the longitudinal section of the positive electrode film layer. Specifically, among the distances between any two points on the outer peripheral edge line of the lithium-containing phosphate particles, the maximum value is the "longest diameter" of the particles. In some embodiments, as Figure 4 shown in the longitudinal section of the electrode sheet along the thickness direction, which shows the longest diameter of a single particle satisfying the first lithium-containing phosphate particle (the longest diameter is 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm), and also shows the shortest diameter of a single particle satisfying the second lithium-containing phosphate particle (the longest diameter is 1 μm to 3 μm).
[0155] In the battery cell provided by the present application, when the positive electrode active material contains lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm, it can further improve the DC internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby further reducing the heat generation of the battery, and enabling the battery to have excellent safety performance.
[0156] In the battery cell provided by the present application, when the lithium-containing phosphate as the positive electrode active material contains both first lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm and second lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 1 μm to 3 μm, the tap density of the electrode sheet can be effectively improved by the method of grading of large and small particles, so that the battery cell also has a relatively high energy density.
[0157] In some embodiments, referring to the Figure 4 particle distribution state, in the cross-section of the positive electrode film layer along the thickness direction, the number of the first lithium-containing phosphate particles is greater than the number of the second lithium-containing phosphate particles.
[0158] In the lithium-containing phosphate as the positive electrode active material, when the number of the first lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm is greater than the number of the second lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 1 μm to 3 μm, the improvement of the DC internal resistance and the fast charging performance of the battery can be further taken into account.
[0159] It should be noted that the first lithium-containing phosphate particle material with a relatively small size and a longest diameter of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm is one of the positive electrode active materials of the battery cell of the present application, and the particle size range of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm is a characteristic parameter of the material itself.
[0160] The second lithium-containing phosphate particle material with a relatively large size and a longest diameter of 1 μm to 3 μm is one of the positive electrode active materials of the battery cell of the present application, and the particle size range of 1 μm to 3 μm is a characteristic parameter of the material itself.
[0161] Those skilled in the art can mix the lithium-containing phosphate particle materials within the above two size ranges according to actual needs.
[0162] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer may further optionally include a positive electrode conductive agent. The present application does not particularly limit the type of the positive electrode conductive agent. By way of example, the positive electrode conductive agent includes at least one of superconducting carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0163] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer may further optionally include a positive electrode binder.

[0164] In some embodiments, the areal density of the single-sided positive electrode film layer is 0.33 g / 1540.25 mm 2 to 0.4 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , for example, 0.33 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.34 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.35 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.36 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.37 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.38 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.39 g / 1540.25 mm 2 , 0.4 g / 1540.25 mm 2 and so on, or other unlisted values within the range of 0.33 g / 1540.25 mm 2 to 0.4 g / 1540.25 mm 2 .
[0165] In some embodiments, the areal density of the single-sided positive electrode film layer is 0.335 g / 1540.25 mm 2 to 0.38 g / 1540.25 mm 2 .

[0198] In some embodiments, the organic solvent includes dimethyl carbonate and a linear carboxylic ester, and the mass ratio of the linear carboxylic ester to dimethyl carbonate is 3.0 to 6.0.
[0199] When dimethyl carbonate and a linear carboxylic ester with the above - mentioned mass ratio are simultaneously used as organic solvents in the electrolyte, through the combination of the two solvents, the fast - charging performance and cycle performance of the battery can be further improved simultaneously.

[0204] In some embodiments, the lithium salt includes lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF 6 and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide LiFSI.
[0205] In some embodiments, in the electrolyte, the mass ratio of lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF 6 to lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide LiFSI is 1.2:1 to 2:1, such as 1.2:1, 1.3:1, 1.4:1, 1.5:1, 1.6:1, 1.7:1, 1.8:1, 1.9:1, 2:1, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 1.2:1 to 2:1.

[0211] In some embodiments, the electrolyte includes vinylene carbonate (VC). Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass proportion of vinylene carbonate (VC) in the electrolyte is 0.5% to 2%, such as 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1.0%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 0.5% to 2%.
[0212] When vinylene carbonate within the above mass proportion range is added as an additive to the electrolyte, the formed SEI film is relatively stable, which is beneficial to further improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0214] When fluoroethylene carbonate within the above mass proportion range is added as an additive to the electrolyte, the formed SEI film has a low impedance, which can further improve the fast charging performance of the battery.
[0215] [Separator membrane] In some embodiments, the battery cell further includes a separator membrane.

[0221] The wound positive electrode tabs 111b are aligned and stacked, having a large connection area, so as to facilitate the direct electrical connection between the positive electrode tabs 111b and the electrode terminals 131, without the need to connect the positive electrode tabs 111b and the electrode terminals 131 through a connecting piece. Similarly, the wound negative electrode tabs 112b are aligned and stacked, having a large connection area, so as to facilitate the direct electrical connection between the negative electrode tabs 112b and the electrode terminals 131, without the need to connect the negative electrode tabs 112b and the electrode terminals 131 through a connecting piece.
[0222] In a conventional battery, a connecting piece is required to connect the electrode terminal and the tab, but this will reduce the utilization rate of the electrode assembly and lower the battery energy density.

After leaving the single battery cell at 25°C for 2 h, discharge it at a constant current of 3C for 10 s, record ∆U discharge and ∆I discharge, and calculate the discharge DCR data of the lithium-ion battery through the following formula: R discharge = ∆U discharge / ∆I discharge, where ∆U discharge represents the voltage change within the first 10 s of discharge, and ∆I discharge represents the current value within the first 10 s of discharge.

[0261] II. Analysis of test results of each example and comparative example Prepare the battery cells of each example and comparative example according to the above method, and measure various performance parameters. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 5 below.
[0262] Table 1 Preparation parameters of the negative electrode sheet
[0263] Table 2 Preparation parameters of the positive electrode sheet and electrolyte
[0264] Table 3 Preparation parameters of the electrolyte
[0265] Table 4 Preparation parameters of the electrolyte
[0266] Table 5 Battery performance parameters
[0267] Among the battery cells of Examples 1 to 16: Lithium-containing phosphate containing an olivine structure was used as the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer; graphite with an average particle size Dv50 of 8 μm to 15 μm was used as the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer; both FEC and VC were contained in the electrolyte as carbonate additives, and their total mass ratio was 0.5% to 7%; therefore, the battery cells prepared in Examples 1 to 16 all had excellent fast charging performance and cycling performance, as well as a low DC internal resistance, and also had a good energy density.
[0268] The average particle size Dv50 of the graphite in the negative electrode film layers of Comparative Examples 1 to 2 exceeded the range of 8 μm to 15 μm, where: the Dv50 of the graphite in Comparative Example 1 was too large, while the Dv50 of the graphite in Comparative Example 2 was too small.
[0269] From the comparison between Comparative Examples 1 to 2 and Examples 1 to 16, it can be seen that when the average particle size Dv50 of the graphite is greater than 15 μm, the fast charging performance and DC internal resistance of the battery cell cannot be effectively improved; while when the average particle size Dv50 of the graphite is less than 8 μm, the cycle performance of the battery cell cannot be effectively improved; therefore, the average particle size Dv50 of the graphite in the negative electrode film layer needs to be in the range of 8 μm to 15 μm to take into account the improvement of the cycle performance, fast charging performance and DC internal resistance of the battery. When it exceeds this range, the comprehensive performance of the battery is poor.
[0270] In the electrolytes of Comparative Examples 3 to 4, the carbonate additive only contained one of FEC or VC, and its total mass percentage exceeded the range of 0.5% to 7%, where: Comparative Example 3 only contained FEC and the mass percentage was too small; while Comparative Example 4 only contained VC and the mass percentage was too large.
[0271] From the comparison between Comparative Examples 3 to 4 and Examples 1 to 16, it can be seen that when the electrolyte only contains one carbonate additive, FEC, and the mass percentage is too small, the cycle performance of the battery cell cannot be effectively improved; while when the electrolyte only contains one carbonate additive, VC, and the mass percentage is too large, the fast charging performance and DC internal resistance of the battery cell cannot be effectively improved; therefore, when the electrolyte contains both FEC and VC as carbonate additives and their total mass percentage is 0.5% to 7%, it takes into account the improvement of the cycle performance, fast charging performance and DC internal resistance of the battery; when only one of FEC or VC is contained as an additive, or the mass percentage of the additive exceeds this range, the comprehensive performance of the battery is poor.
[0272] In Examples 1 to 5, the average particle size Dv50 of graphite in the negative electrode film layer is in the range of 8 μm to 15 μm. The battery cells prepared therefrom can take into account excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low DC internal resistance. In addition, the results also show that when the Dv50 of graphite gradually increases within the range of 8 μm to 15 μm, the cycle performance of the battery is improved to a certain extent, but the fast charging performance decreases to a certain extent and the DC internal resistance increases to a certain extent; when the Dv50 of graphite gradually decreases within the range of 8 μm to 15 μm, the fast charging performance of the battery is improved to a certain extent and the DC internal resistance decreases to a certain extent, but the cycle performance decreases to a certain extent. Therefore, only when the Dv50 of graphite in the negative electrode film layer is in the range of 8 μm to 15 μm can the fast charging performance, cycle performance, and DC internal resistance of the battery be improved while taking into account; when the Dv50 of graphite is in the range of 9.5 μm to 11.5 μm, the comprehensive performance of the battery is better. When the Dv50 of graphite is too low, the energy density of the battery decreases.
[0273] In Examples 1, 6 to 9, the electrolyte contains both FEC and VC as carbonate additives, and the total mass ratio thereof is 0.5% to 7%. The battery cells prepared therefrom can take into account excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low DC internal resistance. At the same time, the results of Examples 1, 6, and 7 also show that when the mass ratio of the carbonate additives in the electrolyte gradually increases within the range of 0.5% to 7%, the cycle performance of the battery is further improved. In addition, when the mass ratio of VC in the electrolyte is 0.5% to 2% and the mass ratio of FEC is 0.1% to 1%, it is possible to further take into account the improvement of the fast charging performance, cycle performance, and DC internal resistance of the battery, making the comprehensive performance of the battery better.
[0274] In Examples 1, 10 to 13, the electrolyte adopts the following formula, and the battery cells prepared therefrom can take into account excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low DC internal resistance: the organic solvent adopts a linear carboxylic acid ester (such as ethyl acetate) with a mass ratio of 40% to 75%, a linear carbonate (such as DMC, EMC) with a mass ratio of 10% to 40%, and a cyclic carbonate (such as ethylene carbonate), wherein the mass ratio of dimethyl carbonate is 5% to 15%, and the mass ratio of the linear carboxylic acid ester (such as ethyl acetate) to dimethyl carbonate is 2.0 to 7.0; the lithium salt adopts LiPF 6 and LiFSI, and the mass ratio of LiPF 6 and LiFSI is 1.2:1 to 2:1.
[0275] Meanwhile, comparing Examples 1, 10, and 11 shows that: as the proportion of linear carboxylic esters (such as ethyl acetate) and LiFSI added to the electrolyte gradually increases, the fast charging performance and DC internal resistance of the battery are further improved; while as the proportion of linear carbonates (such as DMC) and LiPF 6 added to the electrolyte gradually increases, the cycle performance of the battery is further improved.
[0276] Meanwhile, comparing Examples 1, 12, and 13 shows that: when only linear carboxylic esters (such as ethyl acetate) exist in the organic solvent of the electrolyte and no carbonates exist, and only LiFSI exists in the lithium salt and no LiPF 6 exists, the fast charging performance and DC internal resistance of the battery are further improved, but the cycle performance of the battery is poor; when only linear carbonates (such as DMC) exist in the organic solvent of the electrolyte and no linear carboxylic esters exist, and only LiPF 6 exists and no LiFSI exists, the cycle performance of the battery is further improved, but the improvement in fast charging performance and DC internal resistance is limited. Therefore, when linear carbonates and linear carboxylic esters with the above mass ratios are used as organic solvents in the electrolyte, and LiPF 6 and LiFSI with the above mass ratios are used as lithium salts, by the mutual combination of various solvents and lithium salts, the fast charging performance, DC internal resistance, and cycle performance of the battery can be further improved simultaneously, making the comprehensive performance of the battery better.
[0277] In Examples 1 and 14, the negative electrode film layer contains at least one layer of graphite as the negative electrode active material, and its average particle size Dv50 is in the range of 8 μm to 15 μm. The prepared battery monomer can take into account excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low DC internal resistance. In addition, from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 11, it can be seen that when the negative electrode film layer includes two layers of artificial graphite with different particle sizes as the negative electrode active material layers (the first negative electrode active material layer is disposed on the surface of the negative electrode current collector, the second negative electrode active material layer is disposed on the side of the first negative electrode active material layer away from the negative electrode current collector, and the Dv50 of the first negative electrode active material layer is greater than that of the second negative electrode active material layer), the fast charging performance and DC internal resistance of the battery can be further improved simultaneously, making the comprehensive performance of the battery better.
[0278] In Examples 1, 15 to 16, the ratio of the single-sided thickness of the negative electrode film layer to the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is 12 to 20. The prepared battery cell can take into account excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycling performance, and low DC internal resistance. In addition, the results also show that when the ratio of the single-sided thickness of the negative electrode film layer to the thickness of the negative electrode current collector gradually increases within the above range, the energy density of the battery can be further improved; when the ratio of the single-sided thickness of the negative electrode film layer to the thickness of the negative electrode current collector gradually decreases within the above range, the fast charging performance, DC internal resistance, and cycling performance of the battery can be further improved.
[0279] In Examples 1 to 16, as Figure 4 shown, in the cross-section of the positive electrode film layer along the thickness direction, the lithium-containing phosphates in the positive electrode film layer all contain first lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm and second lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 1 μm to 3 μm. The prepared battery cell can take into account excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycling performance, and low DC internal resistance.
[0280] In Examples 1 to 16, the specific surface area of graphite in the positive electrode film layer is 3 m 2 / g to 8 m 2 / g, the tap density of the positive electrode sheet is 2.3 g / cm 3 to 2.6 g / cm 3 , and the tap density of the negative electrode sheet is 1.3 g / cm 3 to 1.6 g / cm 3 . The prepared battery cell can take into account excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycling performance, and low DC internal resistance.
