[0047] In addition, the technical features involved in different implementation manners of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] The present application provides a wound battery cell and an electrochemical device including the wound battery cell, which can improve the problem of uneven stress distribution of the separator in the arc area and the flat area of the battery cell, reduce the risk of micro short circuit caused by dendrite piercing the separator on the surface of the electrode sheet, improve the K value of the battery manufacturing process and the high-temperature external short circuit performance, and take into account the long cycle performance. The technical solutions adopted in the present application are as follows.

[0049] In a first aspect, the wound battery cell provided by the present application comprises a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, an electrolyte and a separator located between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, the separator comprising a base film and a composite layer located on one side of the base film, the composite layer comprising a heat-resistant layer and an aqueous polymer coating located on the side of the heat-resistant layer away from the base film, and the base film is provided with an oily coating on the side away from the composite layer; the oily coating is in contact with the negative electrode sheet, and the aqueous polymer coating is in contact with the positive electrode sheet; the composite layer comprises a first element, the first element is one or more of Al, Ba, Mg, Si, Sn, Ti, and N, the ratio of the mass content of the first element of the composite layer on the surface of the arc area to the mass content of the first element of the composite layer on the surface of the plane area is a, the thickness difference between the aqueous polymer coating in the arc area and the aqueous polymer coating in the plane area is H μm, the thickness of the oily coating is T μm, and the relationship between H, a and T satisfies: 0.5≤T×(H / a)≤4.

[0050] Those skilled in the art can understand that for a diaphragm with water and oil on different planes, there is a height difference in the aqueous polymer coatings in the arc region and the planar region. Although it can improve the wettability of the electrolyte in the arc region, enhance the cycle stability, and reduce the lithium plating caused by the lack of liquid in the arc region. However, the thickness of the diaphragm in the arc region and the planar region is inconsistent. On the one hand, it is easy to cause uneven stress distribution in the overall diaphragm, and the stress concentration area will increase the local current density, which will in turn lead to local lithium dendrite growth and an excessive self-discharge K value. On the other hand, in the arc region where the diaphragm is thicker, it is not closely attached to the electrode sheet, which easily leads to insufficient contact sites between the diaphragm and the electrode sheet, and easily causes the CEI film of the positive active particles to continuously break and regenerate during the cycle, increasing the interfacial impedance in the arc region. To solve the problems of uneven stress distribution of the diaphragm and excessive interfacial impedance in the arc region, the wound battery cell provided in this application satisfies the relationship between H, a, and T: when 0.5 ≤ T×(H / a) ≤ 4, on the one hand, it can improve the strength difference between the diaphragms in the arc region and the planar region, enhance the uniformity of stress distribution, reduce the proportion of micro-shorts caused by local lithium dendrites piercing the diaphragm, effectively reduce the K value, and thus improve safety. On the other hand, the substance containing the first element (such as Al element) on the surface of the diaphragm in the arc region in contact with the electrode sheet can absorb HF generated by the electrolyte to a certain extent at high temperatures, and the first element (such as Al element) in the product after reacting with HF can stabilize the structure of the positive active particles, reduce the dissolution of transition metal ions at the positive electrode end, enhance the stability of the CEI film, reduce the interfacial impedance, and improve the high-temperature cycle performance of the battery. When T×(H / a) > 4, the height of the gap in the aqueous polymer coating is insufficient at this time, resulting in poor stress distribution uniformity of the battery cell and affecting the yield of the process K value. When T×(H / a) < 0.5, the strength of the diaphragm improves the stress distribution uniformity to a certain extent at this time, but affected by the coating thickness on both sides, the concentration polarization of the electrolyte increases, affecting the ion transport rate during charging, and easily causing insufficient lithium intercalation and lithium deposition on the negative electrode surface, which not only increases the battery K value but also affects the high-temperature cycle stability. For example, T×(H / a) can be 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 3.5 or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0051] The term "mass content of the first element" refers to the percentage of the mass of the first element exposed on the surface of the coating in the total mass of all elements exposed on the surface of the coating.

[0052] The term "ratio of the mass content of the first element on the surface of the composite layer in the arc region to the mass content of the first element on the surface of the composite layer in the planar region" refers to the ratio of the mass content of the first element exposed on the surface of the composite layer corresponding to the arc region of the wound battery cell to the mass content of the first element exposed on the surface of the composite layer corresponding to the planar region of the wound battery cell.

[0053] The term "mass content of the first element on the surface of the oil-based coating" refers to the percentage of the mass of the first element exposed on the surface of the oil-based coating in the total mass of all elements exposed on the surface of the coating. When the oil-based coating contains macropores, the elements exposed on the coating surface should also include the elements exposed through the pores of the coating. In this case, whether counting the mass of the first element or the total mass of all elements, they are both included in the statistics. Thus, the element content exposed on the coating surface can reflect the overall comprehensive performance of the coating and the interfacial performance between the separator and the electrode.

[0054] The test method for the mass content of the first element on the coating surface is as follows: Electron microscope EDS energy spectrum analysis. Perform area scanning on the surface of the composite layer or the oil-based coating at a magnification of 500X, repeat the above operation 5 times, count the element mass content, and take the average value. The mass content of the first element on the surface of the composite layer in the arc region and the mass content of the first element on the surface of the composite layer in the flat region are respectively tested by disassembling the lithium-ion battery and taking the arc region and the flat region of the separator to test the element mass content on the surface of the composite layer.

[0055] The term "thickness difference between the aqueous polymer coating in the arc region and the aqueous polymer coating in the flat region" refers to the difference between the thickness of the aqueous polymer coating in the arc region and the thickness of the aqueous polymer coating in the flat region. The calculation formula is as follows: Thickness difference between the aqueous polymer coating in the arc region and the aqueous polymer coating in the flat region = Thickness of the aqueous polymer coating in the arc region - Thickness of the aqueous polymer coating in the flat region. H can be achieved due to the inconsistent compression degree of polymer particles A in the flat region and the arc region caused by the hot pressing process during battery manufacturing, or due to the inconsistent thickness of the aqueous polymer coatings coated in the arc region and the flat region, or the inconsistent particle size of polymer particles A.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment, 1 < a ≤ 1.5; at this time, the strength of the separator is moderate, which can further improve the uniformity of the internal stress distribution of the battery and reduce the proportion of micro-shorts. For example, a can be >1.0, 1.02, 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5 or within the range composed of any two of the above values. a can be achieved by adjusting one or more of the following factors: the particle size of the heat-resistant particles, the content of the heat-resistant particles, the proportion of the projection area of the coated part in the aqueous polymer coating on the heat-resistant layer, the particle size of polymer particles A, the molecular weight of the first polymer, and the proportion of the monomers containing ester groups in the first polymer.

[0057] In an alternative embodiment, 0.8 ≤ H ≤ 4; controlling the thickness difference within the above range can further improve the electrolyte wettability in the width direction of the aqueous polymer coating side, enhance the ion transport efficiency, and at the same time form a buffer against the extrusion caused by the expansion of the electrode sheet, reducing the phenomenon of lithium deposition caused by uneven local current; for example, H can be 0.8, 1, 2, 3, 4 or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0058] In an alternative embodiment, 0.5 ≤ T ≤ 2. At this time, the thickness of the oily coating is appropriate, which can further regulate the concentration polarization of the electrolyte on both sides of the separator and improve the efficiency of lithium ion transport and insertion into the negative electrode; for example, T can be 0.5, 1, 2 or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer provided on at least one surface of the current collector. The positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material includes a lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material. The use of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material can further improve the cycle stability of the battery cell.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the wound battery cell provided in the present application includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, an electrolyte, and a separator located between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The separator includes a base film and a composite layer on one side of the base film. The composite layer includes a heat-resistant layer and an aqueous polymer coating on the side of the heat-resistant layer facing away from the base film. The base film is provided with an oily coating on the side facing away from the composite layer; the oily coating is in contact with the negative electrode sheet, and the aqueous polymer coating is in contact with the positive electrode sheet; the composite layer contains a first element, and the first element is Al (the heat-resistant layer includes heat-resistant particles, and the composition of the heat-resistant particles is selected from one or more of boehmite and alumina). The ratio of the mass content of the first element on the surface of the composite layer in the arc region to the mass content of the first element on the surface of the composite layer in the planar region is a. The thickness difference between the aqueous polymer coating in the arc region and the aqueous polymer coating in the planar region is H μm, and the thickness of the oily coating is T μm. The relationship among H, a, and T satisfies: 0.5 ≤ T×(H / a) ≤ 4; the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer provided on at least one surface of the current collector. The positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material includes a lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material.

[0061] In an alternative embodiment, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material layer, the mass content of the lithium nickel cobalt manganate material is 40% - 100%. For example, the mass content of the lithium nickel cobalt manganate material can be 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0062] In an alternative embodiment, based on the mass of the positive electrode active material layer, the mass content of Mn element is b%, 5 ≤ b ≤ 30; a and b satisfy the following relationship: 7 ≤ b / a ≤ 30. When a and b satisfy the above relationship, the first element (such as Al element) acting on the positive electrode active particles can be matched with the Mn content. The substance containing the first element in contact with the electrode sheet on the surface of the arc-shaped area separator can absorb HF generated by the electrolyte to a certain extent at high temperature, which can reduce the risk of Mn dissolution in the ternary material caused by HF. And the first element in the product after reacting with HF can stabilize the structure of the positive electrode active particles, improve the stability of the CEI film, further reduce the interfacial impedance, and slow down the expansion of the positive electrode material during the cycling process, further improving the high-temperature cycling performance of the battery. For example, b can be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or within the range composed of any two of the above values. b / a can be 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or within the range composed of any two of the above values. The testing method for the mass content of Mn element in the positive electrode active material layer is as follows: scrape about 0.1 g of sample from the surface of the positive electrode sheet active material layer, and then use the ICP-OES method to test to obtain the mass content of Mn element.

[0063] In an alternative embodiment, the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer provided on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector. The negative electrode active material layer includes a negative electrode active material, and the negative electrode active material contains a silicon-carbon composite material. By using the silicon-carbon composite material, the energy density of the battery can be further improved, while reducing the thickness of the electrode sheet and improving the lithium intercalation efficiency.

[0064] In an alternative embodiment, the mass content of the first element on the surface of the oily coating is P%, and based on the total mass of the negative electrode active material, the mass content of the silicon-carbon composite material is W%. P and W satisfy the following relationship: 0.5 ≤ W / P ≤ 15. When P and W satisfy the foregoing relationship, the flexibility of the oil-based coating layer can be matched with the water-based electrode, improving the interfacial performance between the silicon negative electrode and the separator during the swelling process, preventing the increase in interfacial impedance caused by silicon swelling, enhancing the interfacial stress uniformity, reducing the risk of lithium plating caused by local stress concentration on the negative electrode surface during cyclic charging, and taking into account the long cycle performance. For example, W / P can be 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15 or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0065] In an alternative embodiment, based on the total mass of the negative electrode active material, the mass content of the silicon-carbon composite material is 3% - 50% (i.e., 3 ≤ W ≤ 50); and / or, the mass content of the first element on the surface of the oily coating is 3% - 10% (i.e., 3 ≤ P ≤ 10). For example, P can be 3, 5, 6, 8, 10 or within the range composed of any two of the above values. W can be 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50 or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0066] In an alternative embodiment, the electrolyte includes LiPF6 and an unsaturated nitrile additive. Based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of LiPF6 is c; based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of the unsaturated nitrile additive is e; the heat-resistant layer includes heat-resistant particles, and the Dv10 of the heat-resistant particles is d; c, e, and d satisfy 0.5c ≤ d ≤ 10e. When c, e, and d satisfy the above relationship, it can promote the stabilizing effect of the first element in the arc region on the positive electrode active particles and does not affect the structural stability of the heat-resistant layer, thereby further suppressing the high-temperature gas generation of the battery and improving the high-temperature cycle performance. For example, the unsaturated nitrile additive includes one or more of 1,4-dicyano-2-butene, acrylonitrile, crotonitrile, trans-butenedinitrile, and trans-hexenedinitrile.

For example, the thickness of the base film can be 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 8 μm, 12 μm or within the range composed of any two of the above values, the porosity can be 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 55% or within the range composed of any two of the above values, and the average pore diameter can be 28 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

Herein, the primary particle refers to a single particle, and the secondary particle refers to a large particle formed by agglomeration and combination of two or more primary particles. When the particle size of the secondary particle is too large, the wettability effect of the electrolyte is better, but the thickness is relatively large, resulting in more energy density loss. When the particle size is too small, the wetting improvement effect is poor, and at the same time, there is a risk of adhesion and pore blockage. In this application, by controlling the particle size of the secondary particle within the above range, while ensuring good wetting effect of the electrolyte, the loss of energy density is avoided. And controlling the primary particle within the above range is beneficial to forming secondary particle aggregates with uniform particle size during centrifugal drying. For example, the average particle size of the primary particles of the polymer particle A is 150 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, 500 nm or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

For example, the Dv90 of the filler particles is 1.8 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0082] In an alternative embodiment, the coated portion of the glue coating layer further includes a first polymer binder. By way of example, the first polymer binder is selected from one or more of polyacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, and styrene-butadiene rubber.

[0083] In an alternative embodiment, based on the total mass of the coated portion of the aqueous polymer coating, the mass content of the polymer particles A is 95% - 99%; the mass content of the first polymer binder is 1% - 5%; by controlling the mass contents of the polymer particles A and the first polymer binder within the above ranges, the adhesion between the polymer particles A and the heat-resistant layer can be improved without affecting lithium ion transport. By way of example, the mass content of the polymer particles A is 95%, 97%, 99% or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0085] In an alternative embodiment, based on the total area of one surface of the heat-resistant layer, the proportion of the projected area of the coated portion on the heat-resistant layer (hereinafter referred to as the area proportion or coverage rate of the coated portion) is 15%-60%; when the area proportion of the coated portion > 60%, the wetting effect of the separator on the electrolyte is poor, and when the area of the coated portion is too small, the adhesion between the separator and the electrode sheet is insufficient, and coating peeling and shedding are likely to occur during the cycling process. By controlling the area of the coated portion within the above range in this application, good electrolyte infiltration and good interfacial bonding effects can be balanced, thereby improving the cycling performance and safety performance of the battery cell. The method for measuring the area of the coated portion is as follows: In the present invention, the coverage rate of the coated portion can be calculated through SEM (scanning electron microscope) images, which specifically includes the following steps: On the surface of the separator under a 1000-fold magnification SEM view, an area of 100 μm × 100 μm is randomly selected, and this area is divided into 400 uniform grids of 5 μm × 5 μm. Calculate the total number X of grids occupied by the first polymer particles (note: when the first polymer particle occupies an area of the grid ≥ 50%, it is considered occupied; otherwise, it is considered unoccupied), then the coverage rate = X / 400 × 100%. To increase the accuracy of the data, 5 points are randomly selected for area division calculation, and the above operation is repeated, and the average value of 5 times is taken. For example, based on the total area of the aqueous polymer coating, the area proportion of the coated portion is 15%, 30%, 50%, 60% or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0086] In an alternative embodiment, the content of polymer B in the oily coating is 20%-70%; when the content of polymer B is too high, the surface polarity of the coating is large, the interfacial bonding ability is strong, which is not conducive to electrolyte infiltration, and at the same time, the static electricity of the separator is large, and it is easy to adsorb dust impurities during the battery cell manufacturing process, causing local micro-short circuits. When the content is too low, the interfacial bonding is weak, and coating peeling and shedding are likely to occur during the cycling process. By controlling the mass content of polymer B within the above range in this application, while ensuring good infiltration of the electrolyte, it can also prevent coating peeling or shedding during the cycling process, improving the cycling performance of the battery cell while ensuring its safety. For example, the content of polymer B in the oily coating is 20%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0087] In an alternative embodiment, the thickness of the coated portion of the aqueous polymer coating is 0.5 μm - 5 μm; an aqueous polymer coating with such a thickness range can well improve the adhesion between the separator and the electrode sheet, avoid short circuits caused by the contact between the positive and negative electrodes, and improve the battery safety. For example, the thickness of the coated portion of the aqueous polymer coating is 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 5 μm or within the range composed of any two of the above values. The thickness of the oily coating is 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0088] Based on the mass of the negative electrode active material layer, the content of the negative electrode active material ≥ 96%. For example, the content of the negative electrode active material is 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or within the range composed of any two of the above values.

[0089] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material layer or the negative electrode active layer may further optionally include a binder. As an example, the binder may include at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), styrene-butadiene rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and fluorinated acrylate resin. In some embodiments, optionally, the binder accounts for 0.5% - 3% of the total weight of the positive electrode active material layer. Optionally, the binder accounts for 0.5% - 3% of the total weight of the negative electrode active material layer.

[0090] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material layer or the negative electrode active layer may further optionally include a conductive agent. As an example, the conductive agent may include at least one of carbon nanotubes, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

[0124] Table 2 Physical Parameters of the Heat-resistant Layer and the Electrolyte

[0125] Test Example The lithium-ion batteries prepared in each example and comparative example were taken for the following tests: 1. Cycling performance: Under the environment of 45°C ± 2°C, it was charged at a constant current and constant voltage of 0.7C to 4.3V, cut off at 0.05C, and the initial thickness P0 was recorded. Then it was discharged at a constant current of 0.2C to 3.0V, and the initial discharge capacity was recorded as C0. After standing for 10 minutes, the cycling mode was: charged at a constant current and constant voltage of 1.2C to 3.9V, then switched to charged at a constant current and constant voltage of 0.7C to 4.3V, cut off at 0.05C, stood for 5 minutes, and discharged at 0.7C to 3.0V. After 700 cycles, it was charged at a constant current and constant voltage of 0.7C to 4.3V, cut off at 0.05C, and the final thickness P1 was recorded. Then it was discharged at a constant current of 0.2C to 3.0V, and the discharge capacity after 700 cycles was recorded as C1.

[0126] Capacity retention rate: C = C1 / C0 * 100%, thickness expansion rate: P = (P1 - P0) / P0 * 100%.

[0127] 2. K value test Under the environment of 25°C ± 2°C, it was charged at a constant current and constant voltage of 0.5C to 50% SOC. Then the lithium-ion battery was placed in an oven at 45°C ± 2°C for high-temperature standing for 48H. After high-temperature standing, the battery was taken out of the oven and placed in a normal-temperature environment. After 24H, the voltage was measured and recorded as OCV1. Then it was continuously stood in the normal-temperature environment for 48H, and the voltage was measured again and recorded as OCV2. Each batch of batteries was not less than 50 pcs, and the average value of the K value was calculated. The smaller the K value, the lower the self-discharge of the battery and the better the performance stability.

[0128] K value = (OCV1 - OCV2) / 48, unit mV / h.

[0129] 3. High-temperature gas generation At 60 °C, the battery is charged at a rate of 1C to 4.45V and discharged at a rate of 1C to 3.0V for 20 cycles. The gas production of the battery after cycling is detected using a battery gas production test device, with the unit being μL.
