[0008] In some optional embodiments, the secondary battery includes: a positive electrode sheet, wherein the porosity of the positive electrode sheet is 0.2-0.45.

[0009] By setting the porosity of the positive electrode of the secondary battery to 0.2-0.45; it can be coordinated with a phase change electrolyte with a phase change temperature of 15℃-40℃, which can further effectively improve the problem of poor wettability caused by high viscosity of the electrolyte; and when the secondary battery generates heat during the charging and discharging process, the electrolyte can undergo a solid-liquid phase change reaction, maintaining a liquid state (low viscosity), thereby showing a high conductivity effect; when the battery is stored (no heat is generated), the electrolyte remains in a solid state (high viscosity), reducing free solvent molecules and inhibiting the occurrence of side reactions; thereby effectively improving the storage performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery.

[0010] In some optional embodiments, the porosity of the positive electrode sheet is 0.28-0.45; alternatively, the porosity of the positive electrode sheet is 0.35-0.4. In the above technical solution, by further limiting the porosity of the positive electrode sheet to the above range, it is beneficial to further improve the electrolyte infiltration effect, increase the ion migration rate, and thus improve the battery capacity.

[0011] In some optional embodiments, the secondary battery includes: a negative electrode plate; the porosity of the negative electrode plate is 0.25-0.45. By setting the porosity of the negative electrode plate of the secondary battery to 0.25-0.45, it can be used in conjunction with a phase change electrolyte with a phase change temperature of 15°C-40°C, which can further effectively improve the problem of poor wettability caused by high electrolyte viscosity. Moreover, when the secondary battery generates heat during the charging and discharging process, the electrolyte can undergo a solid-liquid phase change reaction, maintaining a liquid state (low viscosity), thereby exhibiting a high conductivity effect. When the battery is stored (no heat is generated), the electrolyte remains in a solid state (high viscosity), reducing free solvent molecules and suppressing the occurrence of side reactions. This can effectively improve the storage performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery.

[0012] In some optional embodiments, the porosity of the negative electrode sheet is 0.31-0.45; optionally, the porosity of the negative electrode sheet is 0.35-0.4.

[0013] In the above technical solution, by further limiting the porosity of the negative electrode sheet to the above range, it is beneficial to further improve the electrolyte infiltration effect, to increase the ion migration rate, and thus to maximize the battery capacity.

[0015] In some optional embodiments, the electrolyte includes: a phase change host material and a phase change initiator.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the phase change main material can undergo a solid-liquid phase change reaction under the action of a phase change initiator; thereby, the electrolyte can be transformed from a solid phase to a liquid phase; or the electrolyte can be transformed from a liquid phase to a solid phase; and thus the electrolyte can exist in different phases during the charge and discharge and storage states. When the electrolyte remains in a liquid phase during the battery charge and discharge process, the conductivity can be effectively improved; when the electrolyte remains in a solid phase in the battery storage state, the free solvent molecules can be effectively reduced and the occurrence of side reactions can be inhibited; thereby, the storage performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery can be effectively improved.

[0017] In some optional embodiments, the phase-change host material includes: an organic compound having a five-membered oxygen ring structure.

[0018] Organic compounds with a five-membered oxygen ring structure can undergo ring-opening polymerization under the action of a phase change initiator, causing the electrolyte to undergo a solid-liquid phase change reaction. During the battery's charge and discharge process, the electrolyte exists in a liquid state, effectively improving conductivity. During battery storage, the electrolyte remains in a solid phase, effectively reducing free solvent molecules and inhibiting side reactions, thereby effectively improving the storage performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries.

[0019] In some optional embodiments, the phase change host material includes: 1,3-dioxolane.

[0020] In the above technical solution, 1,3-dioxolane can undergo a ring-opening reaction under the action of a phase change initiator and further polymerize to form poly-1,3-dioxolane. After the ring-opening polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane, it changes from a liquid to a solid state. The electrolyte undergoes a solid-liquid phase change reaction. When the battery is charging and discharging, 1,3-dioxolane exists in a liquid state, which can effectively improve the conductivity. When the battery is in storage, 1,3-dioxolane undergoes ring-opening polymerization, and the electrolyte remains in a solid phase, which can effectively reduce free solvent molecules and inhibit the occurrence of side reactions.

During the battery's charge and discharge processes, 1,3-dioxolane exists in a liquid state, effectively improving electrical conductivity. During storage, 1,3-dioxolane undergoes ring-opening polymerization, and the electrolyte remains in a solid phase, effectively reducing free solvent molecules and inhibiting the occurrence of side reactions. This effectively improves the storage performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries.

[0023] In some optional embodiments, the lithium salt includes at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide), lithium tetrafluoroborate, or lithium bis(oxalatoborate).

[0024] In some optional embodiments, the electrolyte includes: 1,3-dioxolane and lithium hexafluorophosphate.

[0025] In the above technical solution, lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) can induce a ring-opening reaction of 1,3-dioxolane, which further polymerizes to form poly-1,3-dioxolane. During this process, LiPF6 loses a fluoride ion and becomes LiPF5 with Lewis acid properties, thereby inducing the ring-opening polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane. This causes the electrolyte to undergo a solid-liquid phase transition reaction. When the battery is charging and discharging, 1,3-dioxolane exists in a liquid state, which can effectively improve the conductivity. When the battery is in storage, 1,3-dioxolane undergoes ring-opening polymerization, and the electrolyte remains in a solid phase, which can effectively reduce free solvent molecules and inhibit the occurrence of side reactions. This can effectively improve the storage performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries.

[0066] Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is used as the active cathode material in lithium-ion batteries due to its excellent structural stability. Consequently, LiFePO4 batteries offer excellent structural stability and cycling performance. However, under high-temperature conditions, LiFePO4 batteries are prone to significantly accelerated performance degradation during cycling and storage. Dissolved oxygen and regeneration of the SEI film on the negative electrode during cycling and storage lead to the depletion of active lithium, ultimately manifesting as accelerated capacity degradation.

[0067] Research has found that regulating the electrolyte's solid-liquid state transition by changing the temperature can effectively improve this problem. When the battery generates heat during charging and discharging, the electrolyte remains in a liquid state (low viscosity), resulting in high conductivity. When the battery is stored (no heat is generated), the electrolyte remains in a solid state (high viscosity), reducing the number of free solvent molecules and inhibiting side reactions. This effectively improves the problem of lithium iron phosphate batteries that often experience significantly accelerated performance degradation during cycling and storage.

[0068] Further research has found that when secondary batteries use a phase-change electrolyte that can undergo solid-liquid state conversion, there is a problem of high viscosity of the phase-change electrolyte, which leads to poor wettability.

[0069] Further research found that designing the porosity of the positive and negative electrodes of secondary batteries can work synergistically with the phase-change electrolyte to effectively improve the problem of poor wettability caused by high electrolyte viscosity; thereby effectively improving the electrochemical performance of the battery.

[0070] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a secondary battery, the battery comprising:

[0071] Electrolyte; the phase transition temperature of the solid-liquid phase transition reaction of the electrolyte is 15°C-40°C.

[0072] In the above technical solution, the electrolyte of the secondary battery is set so that the electrolyte remains in liquid state (low viscosity) during the charging and discharging process of the secondary battery, thereby exhibiting a high conductivity effect; when the battery is stored (no heat is generated), the electrolyte remains in solid state (high viscosity), reducing the free solvent molecules and inhibiting the occurrence of side reactions; thereby effectively improving the storage performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery.

Moreover, when the secondary battery generates heat during the charging and discharging process, the electrolyte can undergo a solid-liquid phase change reaction, maintaining a liquid state (low viscosity), thereby exhibiting a high conductivity effect. When the battery is stored (no heat is generated), the electrolyte remains in a solid state (high viscosity), reducing free solvent molecules and suppressing the occurrence of side reactions. This can effectively improve the storage performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery.

[0099] Further optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the porosity of the negative electrode sheet is 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.30, 0.32, 0.35, 0.38, 0.40, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.44 or a range between any two of the foregoing values.

[0104] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the electrolyte includes: a phase change host material and a phase change initiator.

[0105] In the above technical solution, the phase change main material can undergo a solid-liquid phase change reaction under the action of a phase change initiator; thereby, the electrolyte can be transformed from a solid phase to a liquid phase; or the electrolyte can be transformed from a liquid phase to a solid phase; and thus the electrolyte can exist in different phases during the charge and discharge and storage states. When the electrolyte remains in a liquid phase during the battery charge and discharge process, the conductivity can be effectively improved; when the electrolyte remains in a solid phase in the battery storage state, the free solvent molecules can be effectively reduced and the occurrence of side reactions can be inhibited; thereby, the storage performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery can be effectively improved.

[0106] In some optional embodiments, the phase-change host material includes: an organic compound having a five-membered oxygen ring structure.

[0107] Organic compounds with a five-membered oxygen ring structure can undergo ring-opening polymerization under the action of a phase change initiator, causing the electrolyte to undergo a solid-liquid phase change reaction.

After the ring-opening polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane, it changes from a liquid to a solid. The electrolyte undergoes a solid-liquid phase change reaction. When the battery is charged and discharged, 1,3-dioxolane exists in a liquid state, which can effectively improve the conductivity; when the battery is in the storage state, 1,3-dioxolane undergoes ring-opening polymerization, and the electrolyte remains in a solid phase, which can effectively reduce free solvent molecules and inhibit the occurrence of side reactions; thereby effectively improving the storage performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries.

[0110] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the phase change initiator includes: a lithium salt.

[0111] In the above technical solution, lithium salts act as phase change initiators, triggering a solid-liquid phase transition reaction in the phase change host material, thereby maintaining different phases during the battery's charge, discharge, and storage states. During the battery's charge and discharge processes, 1,3-dioxolane exists in a liquid state, effectively improving conductivity. During storage, 1,3-dioxolane undergoes ring-opening polymerization, and the electrolyte remains in a solid phase, effectively reducing free solvent molecules and inhibiting side reactions. This effectively improves the storage performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries.

[0112] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the lithium salt includes at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide), lithium tetrafluoroborate, or lithium bis(oxalatoborate).

[0113] In the above technical solution, lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide), lithium tetrafluoroborate, or lithium bis(oxalatoborate) can serve as phase change initiators, causing 1,3-dioxolane to undergo a ring-opening reaction and further polymerization to form poly-1,3-dioxolane. After the ring-opening polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane, it transforms from a liquid to a solid state, and the electrolyte undergoes a solid-liquid phase change reaction. During the battery's charge and discharge processes, 1,3-dioxolane exists in a liquid state, effectively improving conductivity. During battery storage, 1,3-dioxolane undergoes ring-opening polymerization, while the electrolyte remains in a solid phase, effectively reducing free solvent molecules and suppressing side reactions. This effectively improves the storage performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries.

[0114] Further optionally, illustratively, in some embodiments of the present application, the lithium salt is selected from any one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide), lithium tetrafluoroborate or lithium bis(oxalatoborate).

[0119] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the electrolyte includes: 1,3-dioxolane and lithium hexafluorophosphate.

[0120] In the above technical solution, lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) can induce 1,3-dioxolane to undergo a ring-opening reaction, which is then further polymerized to form poly-1,3-dioxolane. During the polymerization process, LiPF6 loses a fluoride ion and becomes LiPF5 with Lewis acid properties, thereby inducing 1,3-dioxolane to undergo ring-opening polymerization. This causes the electrolyte to undergo a solid-liquid phase transition reaction. During the battery charging and discharging process, the heat generated by charging and discharging causes 1,3-dioxolane to exist in a liquid state, which can effectively improve the electrical conductivity. In the battery storage state, the temperature is low, 1,3-dioxolane undergoes ring-opening polymerization to form poly-1,3-dioxolane, and the electrolyte remains in a solid phase, which can effectively reduce free solvent molecules and inhibit the occurrence of side reactions; thus, the storage performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries can be effectively improved.

[0128] Further optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of the phase change initiator to the phase change host material is: (0.05-0.25):1.

[0129] The mass ratio of the phase change initiator to the phase change main material being within the above range is more conducive to improving the storage performance of the lithium iron phosphate battery.

An appropriate amount of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) solvent was added and stirred thoroughly to obtain a positive electrode slurry.

An appropriate amount of water was added and stirred evenly to obtain a negative electrode slurry. The slurry was then coated onto copper foil, dried, and cold-pressed.

[0167] Preparation of electrolyte

[0168] The electrolyte includes: a phase change main material, a phase change initiator and a solvent.

[0169] Phase change host material: 1,3-dioxolane;

[0170] Phase change initiator: LiPF6; electrolyte phase temperature 25℃;

[0172] Solvent: ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1:1.

[0173] The phase change main material and the phase change initiator are dissolved in the above-mentioned mixed solvent to prepare an electrolyte solution with a concentration of 1 mol / L.

[0174]

[0175] A polypropylene film (Φ16mm) with a thickness of 12μm was used as an isolating membrane. The positive electrode sheet, isolating membrane, and negative electrode sheet prepared above were placed in order, so that the isolating membrane was placed between the positive and negative electrode sheets to play an isolating role. The film was dried in an oven at 100°C for 12h and cooled to room temperature. The above-mentioned electrolyte was then injected and subjected to formation and aging.

[0176] Example 2-16

[0177] The difference from Example 1 is that the parameters related to the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet or electrolyte are detailed in Table 1.

[0178] Comparative Example 1

[0179] The difference from Example 1 is that [Preparation of electrolyte]:

[0180] Ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1:1. Lithium salt LiPF6 was then dissolved in the mixed solvent to prepare an electrolyte solution with a concentration of 1 mol / L. See Table 1 for details.

[0181]

Performance test method

[0182] 1. Pole piece porosity

[0183] The test is conducted in accordance with the standard GB / T 24586-2009. The specific process involves using tweezers to select >20 discs with good appearance and no powdering on the edges and place them into a sample cup. The number of discs is recorded and the apparent volume is calculated. The sample cup containing the sample is then placed in a true density tester. The test system is sealed, and helium is introduced according to the program. The pressure of the gas in the sample chamber and expansion chamber is measured, and the true volume is calculated according to Bohr's law (PV = nRT), thereby determining the porosity of the sample. The porosity output for the electrode sample does not deduct the substrate.

[0184] 2. Phase transition temperature

[0185] The test method is as follows: the electrolyte prepared in each embodiment or comparative example is placed in a constant temperature box, starting from 25°C, and the temperature is maintained at a constant temperature for 30 minutes after each increase of 1°C, and the physical state of the phase change product is observed. The temperature is increased and maintained in sequence. When the electrolyte changes from a solid phase to a liquid phase at a certain temperature value, the temperature value is the phase change temperature of the electrolyte.

[0186] 3. Battery storage performance

[0187] The batteries prepared in each embodiment or comparative example were used as test objects. At a charge and discharge temperature of 45°C, the battery was charged at a constant current of 0.33C to a voltage of 3.6V, then charged at a constant voltage of 3.6V to a current of 0.05C. After standing for 5 minutes, the battery was discharged at a constant current of 0.1C to a voltage of 2.5V. This constituted one charge and discharge cycle, and the initial charge and discharge capacity in grams was obtained (which can be directly read on a blue light test device).

[0188] Then, the battery was stored at a storage temperature of 15°C for 100 days, and then the battery was taken out and allowed to stand at the aforementioned A1 temperature for 24 hours. The battery was then charged at a constant current of 0.33C to a voltage of 3.6V, and then charged at a constant voltage of 3.6V to a current of 0.05C. After standing for 5 minutes, the battery was discharged at a constant current of 0.33C to a voltage of 2.5V, and the 100-day storage capacity was obtained (which can be directly read on the blue electric test equipment).

[0189] Calculate the 100-day storage capacity retention rate based on the initial charge and discharge capacity and the 100-day storage capacity:

[0190] 100-day storage capacity retention rate = 100-day storage capacity / first charge and discharge capacity in grams.

[0191] The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0192] Table 1

[0193]

[0194] Table 2

[0195]

[0196]

[0197] From the above table data we can see that:

[0198] After 100 days of storage at 15°C, the battery of the comparative example had a 100-day capacity retention rate of 83.4%. In contrast, after 100 days of storage at 15°C, the battery of the embodiment had a 100-day capacity retention rate of 84.2% to 93.5%. It can be seen that the 100-day capacity retention rate of the battery of the embodiment is significantly better than that of the comparative example.

[0199] This shows that the embodiment of the present application can significantly improve the storage performance of the battery.
