Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a formation method for a soft-pack lithium-ion battery, and particularly to a formation method for improving the cycle stability of a silicon-containing soft-pack lithium-ion battery. It is a technology that improves the cycle stability of a silicon-containing soft-pack lithium-ion battery by means of stepped charging pre-formation and two charge-discharge processes to repair the SEI film. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous increase in the demand for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries, doping silicon into the graphite anode has become an inevitable trend. The theoretical capacity of the silicon anode is as high as 4200 mAh / g, and the lithium intercalation potential is higher than that of graphite, which can effectively solve the problems of low lithium intercalation potential and easy lithium precipitation of graphite. Although the silicon-carbon anode has a high specific capacity, the volume expansion of silicon in the anode during the alloying process with lithium is relatively large. The high expansion rate will continuously damage the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the anode surface, resulting in continuous damage or repair of the SEI film during the charge-discharge process of the lithium-ion battery, causing consumption of the electrolyte and active lithium ions, and thus problems such as poor cycle stability and consistency of the battery. To solve the problem of cycle instability caused by the expansion of graphite and silicon-carbon, many solutions have been proposed in the industry, especially for the formation stage. Formation is an important process in the production of lithium-ion batteries. Formation forms an SEI film on the anode surface, and forming a uniform and stable SEI film can well adapt to the volume expansion caused by the insertion and extraction of lithium ions.
[0003] CN108258347B proposes three means of controlling the upper limit voltage of charging in stages, applying mechanical external pressure outside the battery, and applying negative pressure inside the battery to control the uniform change of the volume of the silicon-based anode during the charge-discharge process. Although it can solve the problem of wrinkles of the silicon-based anode in the lithium-ion soft-pack battery, the process uses multiple vacuum extractions, and part of the electrolyte will be extracted. On the one hand, it will cause the battery to lack liquid, and on the other hand, too much injection volume will cause waste of the electrolyte. Similarly, CN115425309A and CN115986218A also propose multiple exhaust-injection-formation or multiple exhaust-multiple injection-formation processes for the high-nickel ternary / silicon-carbon system. On the one hand, considering the large amount of gas generated during the formation stage of high-nickel ternary, the problem of battery exhaust is solved, and on the other hand, the problem of large electrolyte consumption of the silicon-carbon anode is solved. However, both methods also cause waste of the electrolyte, and multiple gas bag cutting and air extraction and injection are carried out, so the amount of aluminum-plastic film used for a single battery is greater than that in industrial-scale production, increasing the battery cost and not being suitable for industrial-scale production.
[0004] In order to generate a dense SEI film during formation and improve its cycling performance, the industry also adds a discharging process during formation. For example, CN108539305B adds a step of discharging process at 3.60V and 3.70V. However, for silicon-containing batteries, the silicon-carbon negative electrode reaches its maximum expansion value at full charge. The expansion process of silicon will cause the rupture, recombination, and re-repair of the SEI film, consuming electrolyte and lithium salt. Although CN112510265A has experienced a full charge-discharge process, it discharges to 50% - 70% SOC, followed by high-temperature hot pressing, and the formation ends. This method does not charge and repair the rupture of the SEI film caused by the expansion of the silicon-carbon negative electrode, and the SEI film will be re-repaired during the charging process after the second sealing, which will cause the consumption of electrolyte and will affect the cycling stability and consistency of the battery to a certain extent. CN116914291A discloses a method for determining the formation process by collecting data on the change in the state of charge SOC of a sample battery and the expansion rate P of its negative electrode sheet. After pre-charging treatment at room temperature and aging, high-temperature formation is carried out. This method takes into account the electrode expansion process, but due to the use of manual disassembly of the electrode sheet to measure the expansion of the negative electrode sheet, there are large test errors, etc., which will cause inaccuracies in the voltage range, etc.
[0005] In summary, for the formation method of silicon-containing soft-pack lithium-ion batteries at present, there are many disadvantages such as large consumption of aluminum-plastic film for single-cell batteries, large electrolyte injection volume, low liquid retention coefficient, complex process, unstable SEI film, poor cycling stability of the battery, poor battery consistency, and being not conducive to industrial promotion. Therefore, for silicon-containing lithium-ion batteries, especially soft-pack batteries at present, there is an urgent need for a formation method that is easy to promote industrially and convenient for various large and small enterprises to apply. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and provide a formation method with reasonable design, short formation time, simple process, and easy to promote. The battery designed according to the method of the present invention has the advantages of less injection volume, high liquid retention coefficient, flat battery surface, good battery hardness, uniform, dense and not easily broken SEI film. At the same time, the obtained silicon-containing soft-pack lithium-ion battery has the advantages of high first efficiency, good cycling stability, good battery consistency, and excellent calendar life.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution disclosed by the present invention is as follows:
[0008] A formation method for improving the cycling stability of silicon-containing soft-pack lithium-ion batteries, comprising the following steps:
[0009] The first step: pre-formation of the sample battery:
[0010] (1) Take several batteries in mass production as sample batteries for baking. After baking, use a Karl Fischer moisture tester to measure the moisture content of the baked batteries, denoted as H1; the designed capacity of the battery is denoted as Q1; transfer the baked battery cores from the baking oven to a glove box for liquid injection; then, activate the batteries.
[0011] (2) Place the fully activated sample batteries into a fixture forming device, heat up to 60 - 80 °C, and perform hot pressing formation in a stepped segmented manner. The formation process is as follows:
[0012] First stage: Apply a pressure P1 to the battery surface, charge at a constant current I1 until the voltage reaches U1, and the charging time is T1.
[0013] Second stage: Increase the pressure on the battery surface to P2, charge at a constant current I2 until the voltage reaches U2, and the charging time is T2; leave it standing for 5 min, and the pre - formation ends.
[0014] (3) Collect the charging capacity Q and the corresponding voltage V data of the sample batteries during the charging process. Import the voltage V and capacity Q data into the Origin plotting software. Use the voltage V as the X - axis and the capacity Q as the Y - axis. After software processing, plot the differential capacitance curve (dQ / dV - V) of the formation process; take the voltage values corresponding to the first reaction peak from its appearance to the end in the voltage range of 1.50 - 3.00 V of the differential capacitance curve (dQ / dV - V), denoted as V1 and V2 in sequence. This voltage range is the decomposition voltage range of water in the battery; similarly, observe the change of the dQ / dV - V peak in the voltage range of 3.00 - 4.50 V, and take the voltage values corresponding to the highest peak from its appearance to the end, denoted as V3 and V4 in sequence. This voltage range is the voltage range where lithium ions rapidly escape from the positive electrode and embed into the negative electrode.
[0015] Second step: Mass battery formation and aging:
[0016] (4) Bake the batteries in mass production. After baking, use a Karl Fischer moisture tester to measure the moisture content of the baked soft - pack batteries, denoted as H2; then transfer the baked battery cores from the baking oven to a glove box for liquid injection, and perform liquid injection and activation according to the process of the sample batteries.
[0017] (5) Place the fully activated sample batteries into a fixture forming device, heat up to 45 - 80 °C, and perform hot pressing formation in a stepped segmented manner. The formation process is as follows:
[0018] First stage: Apply a pressure P3 to the battery surface, charge at a constant current I3 until the voltage reaches U3, and the charging time is 15 - 30 min; let it stand for 5 min.
[0019] The second stage: The surface pressure of the battery increases to P4, and it is charged at a constant current I4 until the voltage reaches U4. The charging time is 10 - 60 minutes.
[0020] The third stage: The surface pressure of the battery increases to P5, and it is charged at a constant current and constant voltage until the voltage reaches U5, with a cut-off current of I6. The charging time is 30 - 120 minutes, and then it is left to stand for 5 minutes, marking the end of formation.
[0021] (6) After the battery formation is completed, use the formation cabinet to conduct a full inspection and screening of the end voltage after the first-stage battery charging. Batteries with a voltage lower than V2 are determined to be batteries with excessive moisture content, picked out and properly distinguished, and marked as Class B batteries; batteries with a voltage greater than or equal to V2 are batteries with qualified moisture content and are marked as Class A batteries.
[0022] (7) Subsequently, place the formed batteries in a high-temperature aging chamber for high-temperature aging, and after the high-temperature aging is completed, conduct normal-temperature aging.
[0023] The third step: The stage of re-repairing and re-organizing the SEI film;
[0024] (8) Place the aged Class A batteries in a fixture formation device for charge and discharge. First, set the hot-press formation temperature to 40 - 60 °C, and apply a pressure P6 on the battery surface. The specific process is as follows:
[0025] The first stage: Charge at a constant current and constant voltage with current I7 until the voltage reaches U6, with a cut-off current of I8. The charging time is 60 - 180 minutes; let it stand for 5 minutes.
[0026] The second stage: Discharge at a constant current I9 until the voltage reaches U7, with a time of 10 - 180 minutes; let it stand for 5 minutes.
[0027] The third stage: Charge at a constant current I 10 until the voltage reaches U8, with a time of 10 - 90 minutes; let it stand for 5 minutes.
[0028] The fourth stage: Discharge at a constant current I 11 until the voltage reaches U9, with a time of 10 - 90 minutes; let it stand for 5 minutes.
[0029] The fifth stage: Charge at a constant current and constant voltage with current I 12 until the voltage reaches U 10 , with a cut-off current of I 13 , with a time of 10 - 90 minutes; let it stand for 5 minutes.

[0036] Further, in step (4), the moisture content H2 of the battery is 100 - 150 ppm.
[0037] Further, in step (5), the surface pressure P3 of the battery = (10% - 40%) * P5, P4 = (40% - 90%) * P5, P5 = 1 - 12 MPa / PCS, the charging current I3 is 0.01 - 0.03 C, the voltage U3 = V2 is 1.50 - 3.00 V, the charging current I4 is 0.1 - 0.5 C, U4 = V4 is 3.50 - 4.20 V, the charging current I5 is 0.3 - 1.0 C, the cut-off current I6 is 0.05 - 0.5 C, and the charging voltage U5 is 4.20 - 4.50 V.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0042] (1) The present invention preferentially performs pre-formation on sample batteries with specific water content, and performs differential capacitance (dQ / dV-V) analysis on the formed capacity and voltage curves. On the one hand, the decomposition voltage of water is determined, which provides data support for the subsequent selection of batteries with excessive water content in the formation stage of batch batteries. On the other hand, the method determines information such as the reaction voltage of lithium insertion / extraction of the positive and negative electrodes, providing a scientific guidance basis for determining the formation process, avoiding the drawback of using the same formation process for different battery systems in the prior art; at the same time, the present invention determines different formation processes according to different material systems, so that the positive and negative electrode SEI films are more uniform and dense, and the cycle stability is improved;
[0043] (2) The present invention adds a voltage screening process to the mass-produced batteries during the formation stage, the purpose of which is to select batteries with unqualified moisture content, thereby fundamentally avoiding the problem of excessive moisture content in the batteries due to insufficient baking, battery turnover from the baking room to the glove box, and battery retention inside the glove box. Therefore, after the battery formation is completed, the method is used to select and eliminate batteries with unqualified moisture content in advance, thereby ensuring the cycle stability, shipping quality and quality stability of the battery.
[0044] (3) After the battery ages, the present invention adds two charge-discharge processes for the re-repair and recombination of the SEI film. This process enables the silicon-carbon negative electrode to expand to its maximum value during the full-charge process, and repairs and recombines the SEI film during multiple charge-discharge processes. On the one hand, this process improves the uniformity and density of the SEI film of the silicon-containing negative electrode, and at the same time avoids the problem of electrolyte loss caused by the SEI repair and recombination after the second sealing. In addition, this process can also improve the liquid retention coefficient of the battery without increasing the liquid injection coefficient and the secondary liquid injection process, thereby reducing the loss of electrolyte and aluminum-plastic film per unit battery and lowering the production cost of the battery. Therefore, the silicon-containing soft-pack lithium-ion battery obtained by the method of this case has the advantages of less liquid injection volume, high liquid retention coefficient, flat battery surface, good battery hardness, uniform, dense and not easily broken SEI film, and good cycle stability.

[0061] Example 1

[0065] (2) Put the fully activated sample batteries into a fixture formation device, heat up to 75 °C, and perform hot pressing formation in a stepped segmented manner. The formation process is as follows:
[0066] The first stage: Apply a pressure of 3 MPa to the battery surface, and perform constant current charging at a current of 0.01C (34.5 mA) until the voltage reaches 3.00 V, and the charging time is 30 min;
[0067] The second stage: Increase the pressure on the battery surface to 7 MPa, and perform constant current charging at a current of 0.1C (345 mA) until the voltage reaches 4.20 V, and the charging time is 700 min; leave it for 5 min, and the pre-formation ends;
[0068] (3) Collect the charging capacity Q and the corresponding voltage V data of the sample batteries during the charging process, import the voltage V and capacity Q data into the Origin plotting software, use the voltage V as the X-axis and the capacity Q as the Y-axis, and after software processing, plot the differential capacitance curve (dQ / dV-V) of the formation process; take the voltage values corresponding to the first reaction peak from the appearance to the end in the voltage range of 1.50 - 3.00 V of the differential capacitance curve (dQ / dV-V), and record them as V1 and V2 in sequence.
