Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrochemical technology, and in particular to a secondary battery and a preparation method thereof, and an electronic device. Background Art
[0002] The distance between the diaphragm and the electrode is an important factor affecting the dynamics and interface state of secondary batteries. During the cycle of secondary batteries, the diaphragm and the electrode are easily lost due to factors such as the volume expansion of active materials and interfacial side reactions, which in turn leads to an increase in the impedance of the secondary battery and the problem of cycle attenuation of the secondary battery. At present, the conventional improvement method is to provide an adhesive coating on the diaphragm to make the surface of the electrode and the diaphragm bonded, but the bonding effect is limited to the surface of the electrode and does not act on the interior of the electrode material layer. During the charge and discharge process of the secondary battery, especially in high-expansion systems such as Si-containing negative electrodes, the diaphragm is still prone to losing adhesion with the electrode, leading to interface problems and affecting the cycle performance of the secondary battery. Summary of the Invention

C ,T A ,T S )-Min(T C ,T A ,T S ) within the above range, indicating that the first, second, and third oligomers are the same polymer with the same or similar molecular weight. Thus, in the secondary battery provided herein, the inclusion of the same polymer in the positive electrode material layer and the separator facilitates improved adhesion between the positive electrode plate and the separator, and the inclusion of the same polymer in the negative electrode material layer and the separator facilitates improved adhesion between the negative electrode plate and the separator, thereby improving interfacial issues and cycle performance during the secondary battery's charge and discharge cycles.

The peel force F1 between the negative electrode sheet and the separator and the peel force F2 between the positive electrode sheet and the separator are within the above ranges, indicating that there is good adhesion between the negative electrode sheet and the separator, and between the positive electrode sheet and the separator.

P2 / P1 is within the above range, that is, the porosity of the diaphragm changes before and after being soaked in dimethyl carbonate, indicating that the substances present in the pores of the diaphragm are dissolved during the soaking process. At the same time, the molecular weight of the oligomers generated by in situ polymerization is usually small and can be dissolved in dimethyl carbonate, indicating that the third oligomer generated by in situ polymerization exists in the diaphragm.

For example, the peeling force F2 can be a range consisting of any two values between 11N / m, 15N / m, 20N / m, 25N / m, 30N / m, 35N / m, 40N / m, and 45N / m. The peeling force F2 between the positive electrode sheet and the separator is within the above range, indicating that the positive electrode sheet and the separator have good adhesion. During the charge and discharge process of the secondary battery, the positive electrode sheet and the separator are not easy to lose adhesion, which is beneficial to improving the interface problem between the positive electrode sheet and the separator and the cycle performance of the secondary battery.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the first oligomer, the second oligomer, and the third oligomer each independently include at least one of the following functional groups: -COO-, -O-CO-O-, -SO2O-, -PO4, -COOH, -SO2-, -SO-, -CONH2-, -CN, -O-, or -OBO-. When the first oligomer, the second oligomer, and the third oligomer include the above functional groups, it is beneficial to the dissociation of electrolyte salts such as lithium salts in the electrolyte, which is beneficial to improving the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, and further beneficial to maintaining good kinetic performance while improving the interface problems during the charge and discharge process of the secondary battery and improving the cycle performance of the secondary battery. In addition, the first oligomer, the second oligomer, and the third oligomer have the same repeating unit, so that the first oligomer, the second oligomer, and the third oligomer also have the same functional group.
[0080] A second aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing a secondary battery in any of the above embodiments, comprising the following steps:
[0081] (1) obtaining an electrolyte, the electrolyte comprising a monomer, a fluorinated organic compound, a solvent, and an electrolyte salt, the monomer comprising a first monomer and a second monomer; the first monomer comprising at least one of an acrylate monomer, a carbonate monomer, a sulfate monomer, a sulfonate monomer, a phosphate monomer, a carboxylate monomer, a sulfone monomer, an amide monomer, a nitrile monomer, or an ether monomer; the second monomer comprising at least one of an acrylate monomer, an amide monomer, or a borate monomer; the fluorinated organic compound comprising at least one of a fluorinated carbonate, a fluorinated carboxylate, a fluorinated linear ether, a fluorinated cyclic ether, a fluorinated sulfone compound, a fluorinated phosphide, or a fluorinated carbamate;
[0082] (2) Injecting an electrolyte into a housing provided with an electrode assembly to initiate polymerization of monomers, and obtaining a secondary battery after the polymerization is completed; wherein the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator.
[0083] In the above preparation method, the electrolyte is injected into the shell, and the electrolyte will infiltrate the positive electrode material layer of the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode material layer of the negative electrode sheet and the separator in the electrode assembly, and then trigger the first monomer and the second monomer to undergo in situ polymerization in the positive electrode material layer, the negative electrode material layer and the separator, generating a first oligomer in the positive electrode material layer, a second oligomer in the negative electrode material layer, and a third oligomer in the separator. During the in situ polymerization process, due to the differences in porosity and pore size of the separator, the positive electrode material layer and the negative electrode material layer, the polymerization degree of the first oligomer, the second oligomer and the third oligomer formed by in situ polymerization is different. At the same time, since the monomers participating in the in situ polymerization in the separator, the positive electrode material layer and the negative electrode material layer are the same, the repeating units of the above oligomers obtained are the same. The types of the first oligomer, the second oligomer and the third oligomer vary with the types of monomers added. It can be understood that the molecular weight of the polymer generated by in situ polymerization is usually small, and this application refers to it as an oligomer.
[0084] Furthermore, during the secondary battery preparation process, the electrolyte essentially infiltrates the positive electrode material layer, the negative electrode material layer, and the interior of the separator. After initiating monomer polymerization, the resulting second oligomer is present not only in the surface region of the negative electrode material layer close to the separator along its thickness, but also in the interior region of the negative electrode material layer away from the separator along its thickness. This ensures that the bonding between the negative electrode material layer and the separator is not limited to the surface of the negative electrode material layer, but also acts within the interior of the negative electrode material layer. Consequently, when the negative electrode material undergoes volumetric changes during the secondary battery's charge and discharge process, the negative electrode plate is less likely to lose adhesion to the separator, thereby improving the interface between the negative electrode plate and the separator and the secondary battery's cycling performance. Similarly, the first oligomer is also present in both the surface and interior regions of the positive electrode material layer, making it less likely that the positive electrode plate will lose adhesion to the separator, thereby improving the interface between the positive electrode plate and the separator and the secondary battery's cycling performance. Furthermore, taking the negative electrode material layer as an example, in-situ polymerization in the negative electrode material layer and in-situ polymerization in the separator can proceed simultaneously, with the generated second and third oligomers penetrating each other, strengthening the interaction between the negative electrode material layer and the separator, and thus achieving good adhesion between the negative electrode plate and the separator in the resulting secondary battery. Similarly, during the in-situ polymerization process, the first and third oligomers penetrating each other also achieve good adhesion between the positive electrode plate and the separator. As a result, the secondary battery provided by this application improves interfacial issues and cycle performance during the charge and discharge cycle.
[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the porosity of the diaphragm after being soaked in dimethyl carbonate for 1 minute is P1, and the porosity of the diaphragm after being soaked in dimethyl carbonate for 15 minutes is P2, and 1≤P2 / P1≤1.55. In some embodiments of the present application, 1≤P2 / P1≤1.25. For example, P2 / P1 can be 1, 1.05, 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.35, 1.4, 1.45, 1.5, 1.55 or a range consisting of any two values therebetween. P2 / P1 is within the above range, that is, the porosity of the diaphragm changes before and after being soaked in dimethyl carbonate, indicating that the substances present in the pores in the diaphragm are dissolved during the soaking process. At the same time, the molecular weight of the oligomers generated by in situ polymerization is usually small and can be dissolved in dimethyl carbonate, indicating that the third oligomer generated by in situ polymerization is present in the diaphragm. In the present application, P1 and P2 are the porosities of separators disassembled from secondary batteries after being immersed in dimethyl carbonate.
[0086] In this application, after the separator is soaked in dimethyl carbonate for 15 minutes, the third oligomer is substantially dissolved. Therefore, the porosity of the separator after soaking is substantially equivalent to the porosity of the separator itself. In some embodiments of this application, the porosity of the separator itself is 60% to 95%, with 60% ≤ P2 ≤ 95%. In this application, the porosity of the separator itself refers to the porosity of the separator itself before assembly into a secondary battery.
[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet and the diaphragm include fluorinated organic matter, and the fluorinated organic matter includes at least one of fluorinated carbonates, fluorinated carboxylates, fluorinated linear ethers, fluorinated cyclic ethers, fluorinated sulfone compounds, fluorinated phosphides or fluorinated carbamates. The electronegativity of the above-mentioned types of fluorinated organic matter is relatively strong, and the fluorine atoms or fluorinated functional groups therein can form van der Waals forces with the molecular weight, which is conducive to increasing the force between the molecular chains and reducing the crystallinity of the molecular chains, so that a network-like connection can be formed between the molecular chains, thereby improving the adhesion between the positive electrode sheet and the diaphragm, and the negative electrode sheet and the diaphragm, and further improving the interface problems and cycle performance during the cycle. In the present application, the above-mentioned fluorinated organic matter can be added when preparing the electrolyte of the secondary battery. When the electrolyte infiltrates the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet and the diaphragm, it contains the above-mentioned fluorinated organic matter.

In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorinated linear ether includes at least one of fluorinated 1,2-diethoxyethane, difluoro 1-ethoxy-2-methoxyethane, trifluoro 1-ethoxy-2-methoxyethane, or tetrafluoro 1,2-diethoxyethane.
[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorinated cyclic ether includes at least one of 2-ethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane or 2,2-dimethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane.

In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorinated sulfone compound includes at least one of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl methyl sulfone or trifluoromethyl isopropyl sulfone.
[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorinated phosphide includes at least one of tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)phosphate, tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)phosphate, 2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane-2-oxide, 2-(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropoxy)-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane or 2-(2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropoxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane. In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorinated phosphide includes at least one of tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)phosphate or tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)phosphate.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorocarbamate includes at least one of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-N,N-dimethylcarbamate, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropyl-N,N-dimethylcarbamate, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-N,N-diethylcarbamate, or 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropyl-N,N-diethylcarbamate. In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorocarbamate includes at least one of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-N,N-dimethylcarbamate, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropyl-N,N-dimethylcarbamate, or 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-N,N-diethylcarbamate.
[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode material layer includes a silicon material; based on the mass of the negative electrode material layer, the mass percentage of the silicon element is W1; in a thermogravimetric analysis (TG) test of the negative electrode material layer, the weight loss rate of the negative electrode material layer between 90°C and 180°C is m; 0.01≤100m / W1≤0.1. For example, 100m / W1 can be 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, or a range consisting of any two values therebetween. Silicon materials generally undergo large volume changes during charge and discharge, and the greater the silicon content in the negative electrode material layer, the greater the volume change produced, which tends to increase the gap between the negative electrode material layer and the separator, thereby affecting the cycle performance of the secondary battery. Therefore, when the silicon content in the negative electrode material layer is greater, the bonding between the negative electrode material layer and the separator should also be better. The weight loss rate of the negative electrode material layer between 90°C and 180°C in the TG test corresponds to the mass percentage of the second oligomer in the negative electrode material layer. A higher content of the second oligomer in the negative electrode material layer improves the bonding network formed within the negative electrode material layer and between the negative electrode material layer and the separator. Therefore, regulating 100m / W1 within the above range ensures a better match between the silicon content in the negative electrode material layer and the bonding network within the negative electrode material layer and between the negative electrode material layer and the separator. This reduces the negative electrode plate's ability to lose adhesion to the separator during the secondary battery's charge and discharge process, as the negative electrode material undergoes volume changes. This improves the interface between the negative electrode plate and the separator, as well as the secondary battery's cycling performance.
[0096] In this application, the thermal weight loss rate refers to the ratio of the mass loss caused by decomposition, volatilization or other chemical reactions of the material in the negative electrode material layer during heating to the original mass.
[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, 5%≤W1≤80%. For example, W1 can be 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80% or a range consisting of any two values therebetween. The present application has no particular restrictions on the type of silicon material, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the silicon material can include but is not limited to elemental silicon, silicon-carbon composite materials or SiO x At least one of the following, wherein 0<X<2. In some embodiments of the present application, the silicon material comprises a silicon-carbon composite material. In some embodiments of the present application, the silicon material comprises elemental silicon.
[0098] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the mass of the negative electrode material layer, the mass percentage of the silicon material is 10% to 90%.
[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode material layer, wherein the thickness of the negative electrode material layer is H μm; in a thermogravimetric analysis test of the negative electrode material layer, the weight loss rate of the negative electrode material layer between 90°C and 180°C is m; and 0.6≤m / H×100≤6.3. For example, m / H×100 can be 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.3, or a range consisting of any two values therebetween. The thicker the negative electrode material layer, the higher the total silicon content. By regulating m / H×100 within the above range, the total silicon content in the negative electrode material layer is more closely aligned with the bonding network within the negative electrode material layer and between the negative electrode material layer and the separator. During the charge and discharge process of the secondary battery, when the negative electrode material undergoes volume changes, the negative electrode plate is less likely to lose adhesion with the separator, thereby improving the interface problem between the negative electrode plate and the separator and the cycle performance of the secondary battery.
[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, 20≤H≤120. For example, H can be 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, or a range consisting of any two values therebetween.
[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the positive electrode material layer includes a positive electrode binder. Based on the mass of the positive electrode material layer, the mass percentage of the positive electrode binder is W2, 0.5%≤W2≤3.0%; for example, the mass percentage of the positive electrode binder W2 can be 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, or a range consisting of any two values therebetween. Due to the presence of the in-situ polymerized first oligomer in the positive electrode material layer, which permeates the interior of the positive electrode material layer, it is beneficial to improve the bonding network within the positive electrode material layer. Therefore, the content of the positive electrode binder in the positive electrode material layer can be reduced accordingly, so that the positive electrode material layer and the separator still have good adhesion. At the same time, the reduction in the positive electrode binder content is beneficial to improving the energy density of the secondary battery. Therefore, by regulating the mass percentage of the positive electrode binder within the above range, while improving the interface problem between the positive electrode sheet and the separator and the cycle performance of the secondary battery, it is also beneficial to take into account the energy density of the secondary battery.
[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode material layer includes a negative electrode binder, and based on the mass of the negative electrode material layer, the mass percentage of the negative electrode binder is W3, 2%≤W3≤10%. For example, the mass percentage of the negative electrode binder W3 can be 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, or a range consisting of any two values therebetween. Since there is an in-situ polymerized first oligomer in the negative electrode material layer, it penetrates into the interior of the negative electrode material layer, which is beneficial to improving the bonding network inside the negative electrode material layer. Therefore, the content of the negative electrode binder in the negative electrode material layer can be reduced accordingly, so that the negative electrode material layer and the separator still have good bonding. At the same time, the reduction in the negative electrode binder content is beneficial to improving the energy density of the secondary battery. Therefore, by regulating the mass percentage of the negative electrode binder within the above range, while improving the interface problem between the negative electrode sheet and the separator and the cycle performance of the secondary battery, it is also beneficial to take into account the energy density of the secondary battery.
[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, 0.5% ≤ W2 ≤ 3.0%, and 2% ≤ W3 ≤ 10%. Thus, by regulating the mass percentages of the positive electrode binder and the negative electrode binder within the above ranges, the interface problems between the positive electrode sheet and the separator, the interface problems between the negative electrode sheet and the separator, and the cycle performance of the secondary battery are improved while also balancing the energy density of the secondary battery.
[0104] In the present application, the positive electrode material layer may further include a conductive agent. The present application has no particular restrictions on the conductive agent, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the conductive agent may include but is not limited to at least one of conductive carbon black (Super P), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon fibers, flake graphite, graphene, metal materials or conductive polymers, and conductive carbon black may include but is not limited to at least one of acetylene black or Ketjen black.

[0105] In the present application, the positive electrode sheet also includes a positive electrode current collector, and the positive electrode material layer is disposed on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector. The above-mentioned "positive electrode material layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector" means that the positive electrode material layer can be disposed on one surface of the positive electrode current collector along its own thickness direction, or it can be disposed on two surfaces of the positive electrode current collector along its own thickness direction. It should be noted that the "surface" here can be the entire area of the positive electrode current collector surface or a partial area of the positive electrode current collector surface. This application is not particularly limited, as long as the purpose of this application can be achieved.
[0106] The present application has no particular limitation on the positive electrode current collector, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, it may include aluminum foil, aluminum alloy foil or a composite current collector (such as an aluminum-carbon composite current collector).
[0107] The positive electrode material layer includes a positive electrode active material. The present application has no particular limitation on the positive electrode active material as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the positive electrode active material may include but is not limited to at least one of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (such as NCM811, NCM622, NCM523, NCM111), lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, lithium iron phosphate, lithium-rich manganese-based material, lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), lithium manganese oxide, lithium iron manganese phosphate or lithium titanate.
[0108] The thickness of the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode material layer is not particularly limited in this application, as long as the purpose of this application can be achieved. For example, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 5 μm to 20 μm, and the thickness of the positive electrode material layer is 30 μm to 120 μm.
[0109] In the present application, the negative electrode material layer may further include a conductive agent.

For example, it may be at least one of the above-mentioned conductive agents.
[0110] In the present application, the negative electrode sheet also includes a negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode material layer is disposed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector. The phrase "the negative electrode material layer is disposed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector" means that the negative electrode material layer can be disposed on one surface of the negative electrode current collector along its thickness direction, or on both surfaces of the negative electrode current collector along its thickness direction. It should be noted that the "surface" here can refer to the entire surface of the negative electrode current collector or a portion of the surface of the negative electrode current collector. This is not particularly limited in the present application, as long as the purpose of this application can be achieved.
[0111] The present application has no particular restrictions on the negative electrode current collector, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, it may include copper foil, copper alloy foil, nickel foil, stainless steel foil, titanium foil, foam nickel, foam copper or a composite current collector. For example, the composite current collector can be a lithium-copper composite current collector, a carbon-copper composite current collector, a nickel-copper composite current collector, a titanium-copper composite current collector, etc.
[0112] The present application does not particularly limit the thickness of the negative electrode material layer, as long as it can achieve the purpose of the present application. For example, the thickness of the negative electrode material layer is 20 μm to 120 μm. The present application does not particularly limit the thickness of the negative electrode current collector, as long as it can achieve the purpose of the present application. For example, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is 4 μm to 15 μm.
[0113] The present application does not particularly limit the separator, as long as it can achieve the purpose of the present application. For example, the material of the separator may include, but is not limited to, at least one of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP)-based polyolefins (PO), polyesters (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film), cellulose, polyimide (PI), polyamide (PA), spandex, or aramid. The type of separator may include at least one of a woven membrane, a non-woven membrane, a microporous membrane, a composite membrane, a rolled membrane, or a spun membrane.

[0117] In the present application, the thickness of the separator is not particularly limited as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the thickness of the separator may be 3 μm to 30 μm.
[0118] The third aspect of the present application further provides a method for preparing a secondary battery in any of the aforementioned embodiments, comprising the following steps:
[0119] (1) An electrolyte solution is obtained, wherein the electrolyte solution includes a monomer, a solvent, and an electrolyte salt, and the monomer includes a first monomer and a second monomer.
[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the weight percentage content W4 of the monomer is 2% to 80% based on the weight of the electrolyte; in some embodiments of the present application, 3% ≤ W4 ≤ 50%. For example, the weight percentage content W4 of the monomer can be 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, or a range consisting of any two values therebetween.
[0121] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the monomers, the mass percentage content W41 of the first monomer is 1% to 99%; for example, the mass percentage content W41 of the first monomer can be 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99% or a range consisting of any two values therebetween. In some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the monomers, the mass percentage content W42 of the second monomer is 1% to 99%; for example, the mass percentage content W42 of the second monomer can be 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99% or a range consisting of any two values therebetween.
[0122] The first monomer includes at least one of an acrylate monomer, a carbonate monomer, a sulfate monomer, a sulfonate monomer, a phosphate monomer, a carboxylate monomer, a sulfone monomer, an amide monomer, a nitrile monomer or an ether monomer; the second monomer includes at least one of an acrylate monomer, an amide monomer or a borate monomer.
[0123] (2) Injecting an electrolyte into a housing provided with an electrode assembly to initiate polymerization of monomers, and obtaining a secondary battery after the polymerization is completed; wherein the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator.
[0124] The preparation method provided herein initiates in-situ polymerization of a first monomer and a second monomer, allowing the resulting second and third oligomers to interpenetrate each other, thereby strengthening the interaction between the negative electrode material layer and the separator. Similarly, the interpenetration of the first and third oligomers strengthens the interaction between the positive electrode plate and the separator. This improves the adhesion between the positive electrode plate and the separator, and between the negative electrode plate and the separator. When the monomer content in the electrolyte is too low, for example, less than 2%, the electrolyte contains relatively little monomer, and the first, second, and third oligomers generated by in-situ polymerization have little effect on improving the adhesion between the positive electrode plate and the separator, and between the negative electrode plate and the separator.

[0179] The membrane was immersed in dimethyl carbonate for 1 minute and then its apparent volume and true volume were measured to calculate the porosity P1. The membrane was immersed in dimethyl carbonate for 15 minutes and then its apparent volume and true volume were measured to calculate the porosity P2.
[0180] Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detection (GC-MSD) test:
[0181] The positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet, and separator obtained during the sampling process were soaked in acetonitrile for 15 minutes, and the soaked liquid was filtered through a microporous membrane to remove particulate matter, thereby obtaining a solution containing the first oligomer, a solution containing the second oligomer, and a solution containing the third oligomer, respectively. The samples were then analyzed using a GC-MSD Agilent-6890N-5973N analyzer. If the mass spectra of the solution containing the first oligomer, the solution containing the second oligomer, and the solution containing the third oligomer all exhibit characteristic peaks within the same retention time period and at approximately the same peak positions, it indicates that the first oligomer, the second oligomer, and the third oligomer have the same repeating unit; otherwise, the same repeating unit does not exist.
[0182] Electrolyte Sampling: Discharge the lithium-ion battery three times at 25°C at a constant current of 0.5C to 3V. Remove the packaging bag and collect the gelled material from the lithium-ion battery. Add it to acetonitrile and mix thoroughly. Centrifuge the mixture and collect the supernatant as the electrolyte test sample.
[0183] The types and contents of fluorinated organic compounds in the electrolyte test samples were tested using a GC-MSD Agilent-6890N-5973N analyzer, wherein the types of fluorinated compounds were determined by comparing with standard cards.
[0184] Cyclic performance test:
[0185] The cycle was charged at a constant current of 4C to 4.53V, then charged at a constant voltage of 4.53V to a current less than or equal to 0.05C, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.5C to 3.0V. The discharge capacity and thickness of the third cycle were used as the benchmark values. The discharge capacity and thickness after 600 cycles were tested, and the cycle capacity retention rate and volume expansion rate were calculated.
[0186] Cycle capacity retention rate=discharge capacity at the 3rd cycle / discharge capacity at the 600th cycle×100%.
[0187] Volume expansion ratio=thickness at the 600th cycle / thickness at the 3rd cycle×100%.
[0188] Interface testing:
[0189] A high-resolution camera was used to photograph the surface of the negative electrode to determine the state of lithium deposition on the negative electrode. Image processing software (ImageJ) was then used to calculate and analyze the lithium deposition area of the negative electrode. The lithium deposition interface ratio (S) = lithium deposition area / total area of the negative electrode × 100%. S ≤ 10% indicates mild lithium deposition; 10% < S ≤ 20% indicates moderate lithium deposition; and 20% < S indicates severe lithium deposition. The lithium deposition area refers to the total area of lithium deposition on both surfaces of the negative electrode along its thickness, and the total area of the negative electrode refers to the sum of the areas of both surfaces along its thickness.

[0204] Except for preparing the negative electrode slurry according to the following steps, the rest is the same as Example 1-1:

[0212] Comparative Example 1
[0213] Except that the monomer and initiator are not added during the electrolyte preparation process, the content of the organic solvent is changed accordingly, and the content of the electrolyte salt remains unchanged, the rest is the same as Example 1-1.
[0214] Comparative Example 2 to Comparative Example 3
[0215] Except for adjusting the relevant preparation parameters according to Table 1, the rest is the same as Example 1-1.
[0216] The preparation parameters and performance tests of various embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Tables 1 to 3.
[0217]
[0218]
[0219]
[0220] It can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-27 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 that when the first oligomer, the second oligomer and the third oligomer have the same repeating unit and the thermal decomposition temperature is independently between 90°C and 180°C, and Max(T C ,T A ,T S )-Min(T C ,T A ,T S) is within the scope of the present application, the obtained lithium ion battery has a higher cycle capacity retention rate, a lower cycle thickness expansion rate, and a lighter degree of lithium deposition. In Comparative Example 1, no monomer is added to the electrolyte, and there is no oligomer in the obtained positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet and separator. The lithium ion battery has a low cycle capacity retention rate, a high cycle thickness expansion rate and severe lithium deposition; in Comparative Example 2, Max (T C ,T A ,T S )-Min(T C ,T A ,T S ) is not within the scope of this application. Although the degree of lithium deposition is milder than that of Comparative Example 1, it is still more severe than that of the above-mentioned examples, and the cycle capacity retention rate is low and the cycle thickness expansion rate is high. The thermal decomposition temperatures of the first, second, and third oligomers in Comparative Example 3 are not within the scope of this application. Although the thickness expansion rate of the resulting lithium-ion battery is small, the cycle capacity retention rate is the lowest and the degree of lithium deposition is the most severe. This shows that the lithium-ion batteries in the examples of this application have improved interface problems and cycle performance compared to the lithium-ion batteries in the comparative examples.
[0221] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, in the DSC spectrum of the positive electrode material layer in Example 1-1, the temperature of the first thermal decomposition peak is T C is 155℃; Figure 2 As shown, in the DSC spectrum of the negative electrode material layer in Example 1-1, the temperature of the second thermal decomposition peak is T A is 152℃; Figure 3 As shown in the DSC spectrum of the diaphragm in Example 1-1, the temperature of the third thermal decomposition peak is T S It is 169℃. Figure 4 From top to bottom (a) to (c) are the GC-MSD spectra of the sample solutions corresponding to the positive electrode material layer, the negative electrode material layer and the separator in Example 1-1. It can be seen that the sample solutions corresponding to the positive electrode material layer, the negative electrode material layer and the separator have characteristic peaks at retention times of 1.62min to 1.70min and the peak positions are roughly the same, and there are characteristic peaks at retention times of 2.00min to 2.07min and the peak positions are roughly the same, indicating that the first oligomer in the positive electrode material layer, the second oligomer in the negative electrode material layer and the third oligomer in the separator have the same repeating unit. In addition, after testing, the first oligomer in the positive electrode material layer, the second oligomer in the negative electrode material layer and the third oligomer in the separator in Examples 1-1 to 1-27 also have the same repeating unit. Thus, the first oligomer, the second oligomer and the third oligomer also have the same functional group, and the specific types of functional groups are shown in Table 1.
[0222] The peel force F1 between the negative electrode and separator, and the peel force F2, P1, and P2 between the positive electrode and separator vary with the weight percentage of the monomers, and P2 / P1 also changes accordingly, which in turn affects the interface and cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery. As can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-8, Comparative Examples 2 and 3, when the weight percentage of the monomers is within the range of this application, F1, F2, and P2 / P1 are also within the range of this application, the resulting lithium-ion battery has a higher cycle capacity retention rate, a lower cycle thickness expansion rate, and a lower degree of lithium plating, which means that the interface problems and cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery are improved.
[0223] The type and mass percentage of the first monomer and the second monomer will affect T C 、T A 、T S , which in turn affects the interface and cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery. It can be seen from Examples 1-1 and 1-9 to 1-26 that when the types and mass percentages of the first monomer and the second monomer are within the scope of the present application, the obtained lithium-ion battery has a higher cycle capacity retention rate, a lower cycle thickness expansion rate, and a lighter degree of lithium plating, that is, the lithium-ion battery has less interface problems and has good cycle performance.
[0224] It can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-27 that the weight loss rate m of the negative electrode material layer between 90°C and 180°C varies with the mass percentage of the monomer, the type and mass percentage of the first monomer and the second monomer, and 100m / W1 and m / H×100 also change accordingly. When 100m / W1 and m / H×100 are within the scope of this application, the obtained lithium-ion battery has a higher cycle capacity retention rate, a lower cycle thickness expansion rate, and a lighter degree of lithium plating, that is, the lithium-ion battery has smaller interface problems and has good cycle performance.
[0225] Table 2
[0226]
[0227] Note: “ / ” in Table 2 indicates that there is no corresponding parameter.
[0228] It can be seen from Examples 1-1 and 2-1 to 2-11 that the introduction of fluorine-containing organic matter into the electrolyte can further increase the peeling force F1 between the negative electrode sheet and the diaphragm, and the peeling force F2 between the positive electrode sheet and the diaphragm, thereby improving the large thickness expansion rate of lithium ions. At the same time, the lithium-ion battery has a higher cycle capacity retention rate and a lighter degree of lithium plating, that is, the lithium-ion battery has less interface problems and has good cycle performance.
[0229] The content and type of fluorinated organic matter can affect the peel force F1 between the negative electrode and the separator, and the peel force F2 between the positive electrode and the separator, thereby affecting the interface and cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery. As can be seen from Examples 2-1 to 2-11, when the content and type of fluorinated organic matter are within the range of this application, the peel force F1 between the negative electrode and the separator, and the peel force F2 between the positive electrode and the separator are also within the range of this application, the resulting lithium-ion battery has a high cycle capacity retention rate, a low cycle thickness expansion rate, and a low degree of lithium plating. In other words, the lithium-ion battery has fewer interface issues and has good cycle performance.
[0230] Table 3
[0231]
[0232] The content of the negative electrode binder affects the peel force F1 between the negative electrode sheet and the separator, and the content of the positive electrode binder affects the peel force F2 between the positive electrode sheet and the separator, thereby affecting the interface and cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery. From Examples 1-1, 3-1, and 3-5, it can be seen that when the mass percentages of the negative electrode binder and the positive electrode binder are within the range of this application, the peel force F1 between the negative electrode sheet and the separator, and the peel force F2 between the positive electrode sheet and the separator are also within the range of this application, the resulting lithium-ion battery has a high cycle capacity retention rate, a low cycle thickness expansion rate, and a low degree of lithium plating. In other words, the lithium-ion battery has fewer interface problems and has good cycle performance.
