[0014] Primary and secondary batteries
[0015] One or more embodiments of the present application provide a secondary battery, the secondary battery comprising a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte comprises a fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt, and the mass percentage of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt is L% based on the total mass of the electrolyte, the negative electrode plate comprises a negative electrode active material layer and a solid electrolyte interface membrane located on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer, the negative electrode active material layer comprises a negative electrode active material, and the compaction density of the negative electrode plate is Y g / cm 3 , the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film is M nm, the OI value of the negative electrode active material is N, and the secondary battery satisfies:
[0016]
[0017] The present application regulates the matching relationship between the mass percentage of fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt, the compaction density of the negative electrode plate, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film of the negative electrode and the OI value of the negative electrode active material to meet the above-mentioned numerical range. Under this limited condition, lithium ions have excellent lithium ion transmission rate in the electrolyte, at the interface between the electrolyte and the negative electrode plate, and in the negative electrode plate, thereby significantly improving the low-temperature performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.
[0018] If the value is too low, it means that the comprehensive transmission rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte, at the interface between the electrolyte and the negative electrode sheet, and in the negative electrode sheet is low, and the battery's low temperature and rate performance are poor; The value is too high and the cycle stability of the lithium battery is poor.
[0019] In some embodiments, 2.5, 3, 3.2, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17 or a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0020] In some embodiments, Within this limited range, the lithium ion transfer rate can be further optimized, which is beneficial to improving the low-temperature performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.
[0021] In some embodiments, the fluorine-containing sulfonyl imide lithium salt includes at least one of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), lithium (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)(perfluorobutylsulfonyl)imide (LiFNFSI), and lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI).
[0022] In some embodiments, 0.2≤L≤25. Since the anion radius of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt is large, it is easy to dissociate lithium ions, which helps the migration of lithium ions and weakens the concentration polarization phenomenon. On the one hand, it can increase the transmission rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte. On the other hand, it is beneficial for the release and embedding of lithium ions at the interface between the electrolyte and the negative electrode, thereby improving the low-temperature performance and fast charging performance of the battery. However, when the mass percentage of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt is too high, it is easy to chemically react with the positive electrode current collector aluminum foil at high potential, causing it to corrode, thereby affecting the battery performance. In some embodiments, 1≤L≤14.
[0023] In some embodiments, 5≤M≤100. When the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the negative electrode is too high, the impedance of the secondary battery is high, the dynamic performance is limited, and the low temperature performance and fast charging performance of the secondary battery are affected. When the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the negative electrode is too low, the continuous side reaction between the surface of the negative electrode and the electrolyte cannot be suppressed, resulting in poor cycle stability. The solid electrolyte interface film within this limited range can ensure that the secondary battery has excellent low temperature performance and fast charging performance while having high cycle stability. In the present application, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film can be adjusted by conventional technical means in the field, such as controlling the formation temperature, formation time and adjusting the electrolyte formula. In some embodiments, 10≤M≤30.
[0024] In some embodiments, in some implementations, 0.5≤Y≤5. If the compaction density of the negative electrode plate is too high, the electrolyte wettability will be poor, the desolvation process of lithium ions will be hindered, and the kinetic performance of the secondary battery will be affected. Too low a compaction density will lead to low conductivity and volume energy density of the negative electrode plate, and it is easy to cause continuous side reactions between the electrolyte and the negative electrode plate, and the cycle stability of the secondary battery is poor. The compaction density within this limited range can ensure that the secondary battery has high cycle stability while having excellent low temperature performance and fast charging performance. In this application, the compaction density of the negative electrode plate can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the selected active material by conventional technical means in the field, such as controlling the rolling pressure, rolling temperature and rolling speed of the plate. In some embodiments, 1≤Y≤3.
[0025] In some embodiments, 0.5≤N≤15. If the OI value of the negative electrode active material is too high, the negative electrode active material (such as graphite particles) tends to be arranged parallel to the negative electrode current collector, and there are fewer end faces available for active lithium ions to be deintercalated. The battery is prone to lithium plating during the cycle, and the battery's kinetic performance is poor. When the OI value of the negative electrode active material is too small, although the formation of unfavorable lithium dendrites is suppressed, the negative electrode pole piece is prone to wrinkling and powdering during the cycle, and the cycle stability is poor. The OI value of the negative electrode active material within this limited range can ensure that the negative electrode pole piece has a high cycle stability, while making the graphite particles tend to be arranged perpendicular to the negative electrode current collector, ensuring that lithium ions can be quickly deintercalated at the interface between the negative electrode pole piece and the electrolyte, improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery, and thus improving the low temperature performance and fast charging performance of the system. In some embodiments, 1≤N≤5. The OI value of the negative electrode active material can be controlled by the sintering temperature and sintering time during the graphite production process.
[0026] In some embodiments, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode active material layer, and the positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material.

In some embodiments, the lithium iron phosphate material is a lithium manganese iron phosphate material. The conductivity and lithium ion diffusion capacity of the lithium iron phosphate material with olivine structure are poor, especially at low temperatures, the lithium ion transmission rate is even worse. Therefore, it is even more necessary to improve the transmission rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte, at the interface between the electrolyte and the negative electrode sheet, and within the negative electrode sheet to improve the overall lithium ion transmission rate of the secondary battery and obtain better low temperature performance and rate performance.
[0027] In some embodiments, the surface of the lithium iron phosphate material has a carbon coating layer; based on the mass of the lithium iron phosphate material, the mass percentage of the carbon coating layer is 1% to 3%. It is understandable that if the carbon coating layer is too thin, it will not effectively improve the inherent conductivity of the positive electrode material, and the rate performance of the lithium-ion battery will be poor; if the carbon coating layer is too thick, the energy density of the lithium-ion battery will be significantly reduced, and the unevenness of the coating will be more obvious and the defects will increase, affecting the cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery. In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the carbon coating layer is 1%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2.0%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 3%, or a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0036] In some embodiments, the porosity of the negative electrode sheet is ε1, which satisfies: 28% ≤ ε1 ≤ 45%. If the porosity of the negative electrode sheet is too low, it will affect the infiltration of the electrolyte and will not be conducive to the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the negative electrode sheet.

[0059] The materials and solvents used in the following examples and comparative examples were all commercially available.
[0060] Example 1
[0061] Preparation of positive electrode sheet: The positive electrode active material LiFePO, the conductive agent carbon nanotube (CNT) and acetylene black (ACET), and the binder polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are fully homogenized in an N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) solvent system in a weight ratio of LiFePO: CNT: ACET: PVDF = 97: 0.5: 1: 1.5, and then evenly coated on one side of a positive electrode current collector aluminum foil with a thickness of 12 μm. After drying, the above steps are repeated on the other side of the aluminum foil to obtain a double-sided coated positive electrode sheet. After cold pressing, cutting, and welding the pole ears, the positive electrode sheet is obtained.
[0062] Preparation of the negative electrode sheet: The negative electrode active material graphite, conductive agent acetylene black (ACET), binder styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), thickener sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMCNa, and polyacrylic acid PAA are fully homogenized in deionized water in a weight ratio of graphite:ACET:SBR:CMCNa:PAA=95:2:1.5:1:0.5, and then coated on one side of the negative electrode current collector copper foil with a thickness of 8μm. After drying, the above steps are repeated on the other side of the copper foil to obtain a double-sided coated negative electrode sheet. After cold pressing, cutting, and welding the pole ears, the negative electrode sheet is obtained.
[0063] Preparation of electrolyte: In an argon-protected glove box (water <0.1ppm, oxygen <0.1ppm), solvents ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were mixed in a mass ratio of EC:EMC:DEC = 25:55:20. Based on the mass of the solvent, lithium salts (LiFSI and LiPF6) were added to a molar concentration of 1.2 mol / L, of which the mass percentage of LiFSI was 8%.
[0064] Isolation film: PP / PE / PP three-layer composite film is used as the isolation film.
[0065] Preparation of a lithium-ion secondary battery: The prepared positive electrode sheet, separator, and negative electrode sheet are stacked in order, with the separator positioned between the positive and negative electrode sheets, and then wound to form a bare cell. The bare cell is placed in an aluminum-plastic film outer packaging, thoroughly dried, and then injected with the prepared lithium-ion battery electrolyte. The battery is then aged at 45°C for 48 hours, followed by fixture formation at 45°C, secondary sealing, and conventional capacity separation. After formation, the solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer is 20 nm thick.
[0066] Examples 2-14
[0067] Examples 2-14 were achieved based on Example 1 by adjusting the content of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt in the electrolyte, the compaction density of the negative electrode plate, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the negative electrode plate, and the OI value of the negative electrode active material. Specific adjustment measures and detailed data are shown in Table 1. The rest of the preparation process is the same as that of Example 1.
[0068] Comparative Examples 1-6
[0069] Comparative Examples 1-6 were prepared based on Examples 1-14 by adjusting the content of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt in the electrolyte, the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the negative electrode sheet, and the OI value of the negative electrode active material (porosity omitted). Specific adjustments and detailed data are shown in Table 1. The molar concentration of the lithium salt in Comparative Example 1 was 2 mol / L. The rest of the preparation process was the same as in Example 1.
[0070] Test Method
[0071] 1. Pole piece porosity test
[0072] Porosity is measured using a mercury intrusion porosimeter. Specifically, the dried electrode sample is cut into thin strips of a certain size. A micrometer is used to measure the apparent volume of the electrode coating: apparent volume = sample coating thickness × sample length × sample width. The electrode is then vacuum-degassed, rolled, and placed in a sample cell. The sample volume must occupy 40%-70% of the effective volume of the sample tube to ensure measurement accuracy. A mercury intrusion porosimeter is then used to measure the sample's pore volume, i.e., the volume of mercury intruded into the sample. Porosity = pore volume / apparent volume.
[0073] 2. Test of the compaction density of the negative electrode
[0074] The compaction density of the negative electrode sheet = the surface density of the negative electrode sheet (g / cm 2) / thickness of the negative electrode active material layer (cm). Cut a piece of negative electrode sheet and weigh its mass, record it as M1. Then scrape off the negative electrode active material layer on the negative electrode sheet and weigh its mass, record it as M2. Measure the area of the negative electrode sheet and record it as V. The surface density of the negative electrode sheet = (M1-M2) / V. The thickness of the negative electrode active material layer is the total thickness of the negative electrode sheet minus the thickness of the negative electrode current collector (e.g., foil). The mass can be measured using a standard balance, and the thickness can be measured using a micrometer.
[0075] 3. Test of solid electrolyte interface film thickness
[0076] The electrode after cycling was placed in a dimethyl carbonate solution to wash away the solvent and residual organic small molecules, and then the electrode was sent to the sample chamber. The electrode was then characterized by cryo-electron microscopy. After obtaining specific cryo-electron microscopy digital photos, the imageJ software was used to measure the part with obvious SEI film characteristics on the negative electrode surface to obtain the SEI film thickness.
[0077] 4. Test of OI value of negative electrode active material
[0078] The OI value N of the negative electrode active material is used to characterize the orientation index of the negative electrode active material, and can be calculated by using the X-ray diffraction spectrum measured by an X-ray powder diffractometer, that is, N = C004 / C110, wherein C004 is the peak area of the characteristic diffraction peak of the
[004] crystal plane of the negative electrode active material, and C110 is the peak area of the characteristic diffraction peak of the
[110] crystal plane of the negative electrode active material. Specific test method: control the ambient temperature to 15-25°C and the ambient humidity to 20%-80%, stick the negative electrode active material to one end of a glass slide with double-sided tape, place it in a Bruker D8 Discover X-ray powder diffractometer, set the scanning angle range to 50-80°, the step length to 0.01°, and the time for each step to 0.9s to obtain the X-ray diffraction spectrum of the negative electrode active material, and use software to calculate the peak area of the diffraction peak of the
[004] crystal plane of the negative electrode active material and the peak area of the diffraction peak of the
[110] crystal plane, thereby using the formula N=C004 / C1110 to obtain the OI value N of the negative electrode active material.
[0079] 5. Capacity retention test after 2000 cycles at a normal rate at 25°C
[0080] At 25°C, the prepared lithium-ion secondary battery was charged at a constant current rate of 1C to 3.8V, followed by constant voltage charging until the current was less than 0.05C. After standing for 5 minutes, the battery was discharged at a rate of 1C to 2.7V, and the initial discharge capacity was recorded. The lithium-ion secondary battery was cycled 2000 times using the above method, and the discharge capacity was recorded each time. The capacity retention rate of the lithium-ion secondary battery after 2000 cycles at a conventional rate at 25°C = discharge capacity at the 2000th cycle / initial discharge capacity × 100%.
[0081] 6. -20℃ capacity retention test
[0082] At 25°C, the prepared lithium-ion secondary battery was charged to 3.8V at a constant current rate of 0.33C, and then charged at a constant voltage until the current was less than 0.05C. After standing for 5 minutes, it was discharged to 2.7V at a rate of 0.1C, and the room temperature discharge capacity was recorded. The battery was then cooled to -20°C, and the lithium-ion secondary battery was charged to 3.8V at a constant current rate of 0.33C, and then charged at a constant voltage until the current was less than 0.05C. After standing for 5 minutes, it was discharged to 2.7V at a rate of 0.1C, and the -20°C discharge capacity was recorded. Capacity retention rate of lithium-ion secondary battery at -20°C = discharge capacity at -20°C / initial discharge capacity × 100%.
[0083] 7. Capacity retention test after 750 cycles of fast charging at 25°C
[0084] At 25°C, the prepared lithium-ion secondary battery was charged at a constant current rate of 2C to 3.8V, followed by constant voltage charging until the current was less than 0.05C. After standing for 5 minutes, the battery was discharged at a rate of 0.5C to 2.7V, and the initial discharge capacity was recorded. The lithium-ion secondary battery was cycled 750 times using the above method, and the discharge capacity was recorded each time. The capacity retention rate of the lithium-ion secondary battery after 750 fast charge cycles at 25°C = discharge capacity at the 750th cycle / initial discharge capacity × 100%.

[0089] It can be seen from Examples 1-14 that when the mass percentage of fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer, the compaction density of the negative electrode plate, and the OI value of the negative electrode active material meet the preset relationship, the 25°C conventional rate cycle performance, the 25°C fast charge cycle performance and the -20°C capacity retention rate are all high.
[0090] Comparative Example 1 shows that when the mass percentage of fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt is too high, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film formed between it and the surface of the negative electrode active material layer, the compaction density of the negative electrode plate, and the OI value of the negative electrode active material do not conform to the preset relationship. The high concentration of fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt will cause corrosion to the positive electrode current collector, and have a significant negative impact on the 25°C conventional rate and 25°C fast charge cycle performance.
[0091] Comparative Example 2 shows that when the mass percentage of fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt is too low, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film formed between it and the surface of the negative electrode active material layer, the compaction density of the negative electrode plate, and the OI value of the negative electrode active material do not conform to the preset relationship. At this time, the battery system has an extremely low lithium ion transmission rate due to the absence of highly dissociated lithium salt, and the fast charging cycle performance at 25°C and the capacity retention rate at -20°C are both poor.
[0092] Comparison with Comparative Example 3 shows that when the formation temperature is too high, the solid electrolyte interface film formed on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer is too thick, and its relationship with the mass percentage of the fluorinated sulfonylimide lithium salt, the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet, and the OI value of the negative electrode active material does not conform to the preset relationship. In this case, the system impedance is high, and the performance of the 25°C normal rate cycle, the 25°C fast charge cycle, and the -20°C capacity retention are all poor.
[0093] Comparison with Comparative Example 4 shows that when the OI value of the negative electrode active material is too high, the compaction density between it and the negative electrode sheet, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film formed on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer, and the mass percentage of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt do not conform to the preset relationship. At this time, there are fewer end faces available for active lithium ions to be deintercalated and deintercalated, and the battery is prone to lithium deposition during the cycle. The battery's kinetic performance is extremely poor, and the 25°C conventional rate cycle, 25°C fast charge cycle performance, and -20°C capacity retention rate are all poor.
[0094] Comparison with Comparative Example 5 shows that when the OI value of the negative electrode active material is too low, the compaction density of the negative electrode plate, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film formed on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer, and the mass percentage of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt do not conform to the preset relationship. At this time, the negative electrode plate is prone to wrinkling and falling off during the cycle, so the performance of the 25°C conventional rate cycle and the 25°C fast charge cycle is poor.
[0095] By comparing with Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that when the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet is too high, the thickness of the solid electrolyte interface film formed between it and the surface of the negative electrode active material layer, the mass percentage of the fluorinated sulfonyl imide lithium salt, and the OI value of the negative electrode active material do not conform to the preset relationship. At this time, the electrolyte wettability is poor, the lithium ion desolvation process is hindered, and the 25°C conventional rate cycle, 25°C fast charge cycle performance and -20°C capacity retention rate are all poor.
