Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium-ion battery processing, and particularly relates to a full cell with cathode lithium supplementation, its preparation method and formation method, especially a full cell with cathode lithium supplementation that can achieve sufficient lithium deintercalation, improve the energy density and shorten the formation time, as well as its preparation method and formation method. Background Art
[0002] During the first charge and discharge stage of a lithium-ion battery, a solid electrolyte interface mainly composed of lithium salt, namely Solid Electrolyte Interface, abbreviated as SEI, will be formed at the interface of the negative electrode material. The formation of the SEI film is an irreversible process, and the permanent loss of active lithium causes the Coulombic efficiency of the first cycle to decrease. Therefore, before the lithium-ion battery works, the pre-lithiation technology route of adding sacrificial additives to the battery cell, that is, the "lithium supplementation" technology, has emerged.
[0003] The most common current lithium supplementation process is the negative electrode lithium supplementation method, that is, using processes such as lithium powder and lithium foil to supplement the irreversible capacity loss of the negative electrode during the first charging process. The negative electrode lithium supplementation process is the most common lithium supplementation method for us, such as lithium powder lithium supplementation and lithium foil lithium supplementation. After the battery is filled with electrolyte, these metallic Li quickly react with the negative electrode and embed into the negative electrode material, thereby improving the first efficiency of the material. However, all of these methods have to face a problem - "the safety problem of metallic lithium". Metallic lithium is a highly reactive alkali metal that can react violently with water, making the environmental requirements for metallic lithium extremely high. This makes it necessary to invest heavily in the transformation of the production line and purchase expensive lithium supplementation equipment for these two negative electrode lithium supplementation processes. At the same time, in order to ensure the lithium supplementation effect, it is also necessary to adjust the existing production process. Compared with the high-difficulty and high-investment negative electrode lithium supplementation process, positive electrode lithium supplementation is relatively simple and easy. That is, adding a small amount of high-capacity lithium-containing oxides to the positive electrode, such as materials like Li2NiO2, Li5FeO4, Li6CoO4, etc., to store extra Li in the positive electrode to supplement the Li loss during the first discharge process. A typical positive electrode lithium supplementation process is to add a small amount of high-capacity positive electrode material during the positive electrode homogenization process. During the charging process, the excess Li element is released from these high-capacity positive electrode materials and embeds into the negative electrode to supplement the irreversible capacity of the first charge and discharge. For example, Su Xin et al. from Argonne National Laboratory in the United States added 7% of Li5FeO4 (LFO) material to the LiCoO2 positive electrode, which increased the first efficiency of the battery by 14% and significantly improved the cycle performance of the battery. Another example is that Chinese Patent 202210254003.2 discloses a positive electrode lithium supplement and its application. Li2NiO2, which also serves as a lithium supplement, is used to coat Li5FeO4 to avoid contact between Li5FeO4 and air, improving the environmental stability of Li5FeO4 and enabling the capacity of Li5FeO4 to be maximally exerted. And Li2NiO2 also has a lithium supplementation effect, and the lithium supplementation effects of both can be utilized simultaneously to improve the energy density and cycle stability of the battery. However, the de-lithiation potential of the lithium-ion battery prepared by the above-mentioned positive electrode lithium supplementation is usually relatively high and needs to be charged to 4.2V - 4.3V. The de-lithiation potential of lithium iron phosphate is relatively low, generally charged to 3.65V. When a positive electrode lithium supplement electrode is added to a lithium iron phosphate battery, due to the large difference in de-lithiation potential between the two, the charging time for battery formation is long, thus affecting production efficiency. The usual solution is to increase the charging current, but increasing the charging current will cause insufficient de-lithiation of the lithium supplement, resulting in a low energy density of the battery, ultimately causing the lithium-ion battery to fail to achieve the expected effect, and even increasing energy consumption and being unfavorable for controlling production costs. In order to fully de-lithiate the lithium supplement, only a small current can be used for charging.As the formation method disclosed in Patent CN 117117106 A, after charging to 3.6V, step charging is adopted. The current range in the first stage is 0.05C to 0.2C, the current range in the second stage is 0.02C to 0.1C, and the current range in the third stage is 0.01C to 0.05C. The current during the charging process is very small. Also, as the formation method disclosed in Patent CN115954453 A, after charging to 3.65V, a current of 0.01C - 0.1C is used to charge the positive electrode pre-lithiated lithium-ion battery, the charging time is controlled to be 1.5 hours - 2 hours, the charging amount is 110% - 120% of the designed capacity of the positive electrode pre-lithiated lithium-ion battery, and the cut-off voltage is 4.3V. The batteries of the above patents also use a small current to de-lithiate the lithium supplement agent during charging. It can be seen from this that in actual production, in order to fully de-lithiate the lithium supplement agent, only a small current can be used for charging, but this will directly lead to a long charging time, reducing the production efficiency and being unfavorable for industrial production. This formation method has the drawback of a long formation time.
[0004] Therefore, how to find a lithium-ion battery, preparation and formation method that can use a large current for charging, ensure sufficient de-lithiation of the battery, and have low energy consumption has become one of the urgent problems to be solved by many front-line researchers and scientific research enterprises in this field.

[0078] The first charge and discharge capacity of the above-mentioned battery cells is tested at 0.2C, and the discharge capacity is tested at 1C and 2C in turn. Under the condition of 1C charge and discharge, the capacity retention rate after 1000 tests is tested, and the test results are shown in Table 2.
[0079] Table 2 Battery cell performance test table It can be seen from Examples 2 to 10, Comparative Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 7 that when preparing the cathode lithium-supplemented full battery, adding the lithium-supplementing agent protected by the present application, when the addition amount of the lithium-supplementing agent is 5-13% of the lithium-supplementing agent, the energy density of the battery can be significantly improved. Comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 7, it can be seen that when preparing the battery, only the lithium-supplementing agent is added without adding the lithium-supplementing agent. Although the energy density of the battery can be improved to a certain extent, it is far less obvious than adding the lithium-supplementing agent. If all the lithium-supplementing agent is used, although the effect is good, the cost is significantly increased; comparing Example 3 with Examples 2 and 3, it can be seen that when the lithium-supplementing agent does not contain lithium carbamoyl phosphate and ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3-pyridyl)acrylate, the effect of the present application cannot be achieved either. The reason is that the lithium carbamoyl phosphate obtained by the addition reaction of the amino group of lithium carbamoyl phosphate with ethyl 2-cyano-3-(3-pyridyl)acrylate and 5-allylpyrimidine-4,6-diol respectively, and the lithium carbamoyl phosphate containing cyano group, pyridyl group and pyrimidine group can be used as the synergistic component of the lithium-supplementing agent. The introduction of functional groups such as cyano group, pyridyl group and pyrimidine group can not only change the crystal structure of the cathode material, thus affecting its electrochemical performance, but also increase the conductivity of the material or improve the ion transport path through these functional groups, and at the same time can synergistically enhance the effect with the lithium-supplementing agent to jointly improve the energy density of the battery; the lithium-supplementing agent prepared by the present application can also form stable chemical bonds with other elements in the cathode material, thereby improving the cycle stability of the material. During the charge and discharge process, these functional groups can reduce the volume change of the material and reduce the stress concentration, thereby prolonging the service life of the battery, and the introduction of functional groups such as cyano group, pyridyl group and pyrimidine group in the lithium-supplementing agent can improve the electron conductivity of the cathode material, thereby improving the rate performance of the battery. This means that the battery can still maintain good electrochemical performance at high current density and is suitable for application scenarios that require fast charge and discharge.
[0080] It can be seen from the comparison between Example 3 and Comparative Examples 5 and 6 that increasing the magnetic field during formation can significantly increase the battery capacity, that is, increase the energy density, and can shorten the formation time to a certain extent, or can greatly increase the battery capacity within approximately the same formation time. Using the formation method of the present application to perform formation treatment on the lithium-supplemented full battery protected by the present application can reduce the risk of thermal runaway of the battery in the case of overcharge or overheat, and improve the production efficiency.
