Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of secondary battery technology, and more particularly to a secondary battery and an electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] Secondary batteries have advantages such as high energy density, high operating voltage, low self-discharge rate, small size, and light weight, and are widely used in the consumer electronics field.

[0003] With the rapid development of electric vehicles and mobile electronic devices, people have increasingly higher requirements for the safety performance of secondary batteries. How to reduce the possibility of gas generation during battery cycling and improve battery safety performance is a scientific and technological problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of secondary battery applications. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a secondary battery and an electrical device, wherein the separator of the secondary battery contains specific additives that can remove acidic substances in the battery system, thereby reducing the possibility of acidic substances undergoing a reduction reaction at the negative electrode to produce hydrogen gas, reducing the possibility of gas production during battery cycling, and improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0005] A first aspect of this application provides a secondary battery, including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, wherein the separator includes an additive, the additive including at least one selected from pyridine compounds and phosphine compounds;

[0006] The positive electrode sheet includes a positive active material, which includes a core and a carbon coating layer. The carbon coating layer covers at least a portion of the surface of the core, and the core includes a phosphate material.

[0007] Phosphate materials, with their advantages of long lifespan and good safety performance, have become a hot research topic in the industry. However, their poor conductivity limits their development in high-power applications. Carbon coating can improve their electrochemical performance; however, the carbon coating layer contains hydrophilic oxygen-containing functional groups, making it prone to adsorbing water molecules. These adsorbed water molecules are difficult to remove completely during cell manufacturing, resulting in a high water content within the cell. The electrolyte in the battery system is extremely sensitive to the presence of moisture. LiPF6 in the electrolyte is prone to hydrolysis in the presence of trace amounts of moisture, generating acidic substances such as phosphorus pentafluoride and hydrogen fluoride. These acidic substances easily migrate to the negative electrode during battery cycling, where they undergo reduction reactions to produce hydrogen gas, affecting battery safety.

[0008] To address the aforementioned issues, this application introduces pyridine and phosphine compounds as additives in the separator of a lithium manganese iron phosphate battery system with carbon-coated positive electrode active material. These pyridine and phosphine compounds contain Lewis basic groups. During battery charging and discharging, through Lewis acid-base neutralization reactions, the additives can react with or form complexes with acidic substances in the battery system. This reduces the content of acidic substances in the electrolyte, lowers the likelihood of hydrogen generation from the reduction of acidic substances at the negative electrode, reduces the possibility of gas generation during battery cycling, and improves battery safety performance.

[0009] In any embodiment, the separator includes a substrate and a coating comprising inorganic and / or organic particles disposed on at least one surface of the substrate.

[0010] The additive is located between inorganic and / or organic particles in the coating or as a separate layer between the substrate and the coating.

[0011] Additives are placed between inorganic and / or organic particles in the inorganic and / or organic particle layer, or placed as a separate layer between the substrate and the inorganic and / or organic particle layer. This reduces the possibility of premature additive failure due to direct contact between the additive and the positive and negative electrodes. It achieves the purpose of removing acidic substances from the system and reducing gas generation. At the same time, compared with acidic substances, the reaction byproducts obtained after the additive reacts or combines with acidic substances are larger in size, so they are less likely to diffuse through the inorganic and / or organic particle layer into the electrolyte. This reduces the impact of reaction byproducts on the interface impedance of the positive or negative electrode, improves the high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the battery, and extends the battery's service life.

[0012] In any embodiment, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of the additive is less than or equal to 0.3%.

[0013] By controlling the mass content of additives in the electrolyte to be less than or equal to 0.3%, meaning that the additives are basically present in the separator and little or no additives are present in the electrolyte, the possibility of additives in the electrolyte coming into direct contact with the positive and negative electrodes and thus failing prematurely is reduced. This achieves the purpose of removing acidic substances from the system, which can reduce the possibility of acidic substances undergoing reduction reactions at the negative electrode to produce hydrogen gas, reduce the possibility of gas generation during battery cycling, and improve the safety performance of the battery.

[0014] In any embodiment, the viscosity of the electrolyte at 25°C is less than or equal to 3 mPa·s.

[0015] As mentioned earlier, additives in the separator can react with acidic substances in the system, reducing the impact of acidic substances on gas generation in the battery. However, additives and their reaction byproducts can remain in the pores of the separator, reducing its ionic conductivity and affecting the battery's kinetic performance.

[0016] By controlling the viscosity of the electrolyte to be less than or equal to 3 mPa·S, the migration rate and conductivity of active ions in the electrolyte can be improved, alleviating the kinetic problems caused by the blockage of pores by additives and their reaction byproducts in the separator, and improving the kinetic performance and cycle performance of the battery.

[0017] In any embodiment, the electrolyte comprises a first solvent having a viscosity of less than 0.65 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0018] Adding a first solvent with a viscosity of less than 0.65 mPa·S to the electrolyte can reduce the electrolyte viscosity, thereby increasing the mobility and conductivity of active ions in the electrolyte and improving the battery's kinetic and cycle performance.

[0019] In any embodiment, the first solvent includes one or more of dimethyl carbonate, methyl formate, ethyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, ethyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, dioxolane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, methyl nonafluorobutyl ether, and ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether.

[0020] In any embodiment, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of the first solvent is 10%-80%.

[0021] In any embodiment, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of the first solvent is 30%-70%.

[0022] Controlling the mass content of the first solvent within a suitable range can improve the migration rate of active ions, increase the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, and enhance the kinetic and rate performance of the battery. At the same time, it can prevent excessive low-viscosity first solvent from affecting the oxidation resistance of the electrolyte, reduce gas generation and / or lithium plating caused by oxidation, and improve the cycle performance and safety performance of the battery.

[0033] In any embodiment, the loading of the additive on the separator membrane is 0.01 g / m³. 2 -10g / m 2 .

[0034] By controlling the amount of additives loaded on the separator within a suitable range, the content of acidic substances in the battery system can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of acidic substances undergoing reduction reactions at the negative electrode to produce hydrogen gas, reducing the possibility of gas generation during battery cycling, improving battery safety performance, and also avoiding the impact of excessive additives on the gas permeability of the separator and the internal resistance of the battery, thus comprehensively improving the battery's dynamic performance and cycle performance.

[0053] Controlling the thickness of the carbon coating layer on the surface of the core within a suitable range can improve the conductivity of the positive electrode active material, reduce the structural degradation of the positive electrode active material during cycling, reduce the dissolution of manganese metal, and also prevent excessive carbon coating layer thickness from introducing too much trace water into the system.

[0074] Phosphate materials possess advantages such as good safety performance, wide availability of raw materials, and long cycle life, making them a hot research topic in the industry. However, these materials inherently suffer from poor conductivity, hindering their development in high-power applications. Carbon coating can improve their electrochemical performance; however, the carbon coating layer contains hydrophilic oxygen-containing functional groups, making it prone to adsorbing water molecules, which are difficult to completely remove during cell manufacturing, resulting in a significant water content within the cell. The electrolyte in the battery system is extremely sensitive to the presence of moisture. LiPF6 in the electrolyte is prone to hydrolysis in the presence of trace amounts of moisture, generating acidic substances such as phosphorus pentafluoride and hydrogen fluoride. These acidic substances can then undergo reduction reactions at the negative electrode, producing hydrogen gas, leading to gas generation and affecting battery safety.

[0075] [Rechargeable Battery]

[0076] This application provides a secondary battery, including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator includes an additive, which includes at least one selected from pyridine compounds and phosphine compounds.

[0077] The positive electrode sheet includes a positive active material, which includes a core and a carbon coating layer. The carbon coating layer covers at least a portion of the surface of the core, and the core includes a phosphate material.

[0078] The additives in the separator, such as pyridine and phosphine compounds, contain Lewis basic groups. During battery charging and discharging, through Lewis acid-base neutralization reactions, the additives can react with or form complexes with acidic substances in the battery system. This reduces the content of acidic substances in the electrolyte, decreases the possibility of acidic substances in the battery system undergoing reduction reactions at the negative electrode to generate hydrogen gas, reduces the possibility of gas generation during battery cycling, and improves battery safety performance.

[0079] In some embodiments, the separator includes a substrate and a coating comprising inorganic and / or organic particles disposed on at least one surface of the substrate.

[0080] The additive is located between inorganic and / or organic particles in the coating or as a separate layer between the substrate and the coating.

[0081] In this application, the term "inorganic particles and / or organic particles" refers to individual inorganic particles, individual organic particles, or a mixture of both. For example, the term "inorganic particle and / or organic particle layer" refers to a layer consisting of individual inorganic particles, a layer consisting of individual organic particles, or a mixture of both. Specific examples will be described in detail in the Embodiments section below.

[0082] Additives are placed between inorganic and / or organic particles in the inorganic and / or organic particle layer, or placed as a separate layer between the substrate and the inorganic and / or organic particle layer. This reduces the possibility of premature additive failure due to direct contact between the additive and the positive and negative electrodes. It achieves the purpose of removing acidic substances from the system and reducing gas generation. At the same time, compared with acidic substances, the reaction byproducts obtained after the additive reacts or combines with acidic substances are larger in size, so they are less likely to diffuse through the inorganic and / or organic particle layer into the electrolyte. This reduces the impact of reaction byproducts on the interface impedance of the positive or negative electrode, improves the high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the battery, and extends the battery's service life.

[0083] In some embodiments, the mass content of the additive is less than or equal to 0.3% based on the mass of the electrolyte.

[0084] In some embodiments, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of the additive can be selected as 0%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, 0.25%, 0.3%, or a range of any two of the above values.

[0085] The mass content of additives in the electrolyte can be determined using commonly used testing methods in this field, for example: disassemble the battery, obtain the electrolyte, and determine it by separation and detection analysis using ion chromatography and infrared spectroscopy, referring to standards JY / T 020-1996 and GB / T6040-2002.

[0086] By controlling the mass content of additives in the electrolyte to be less than or equal to 0.3%, meaning that the additives are basically present in the separator and little or no additives are present in the electrolyte, the possibility of additives in the electrolyte coming into direct contact with the positive and negative electrodes and thus failing prematurely is reduced. This achieves the purpose of removing acidic substances from the system, which can reduce the possibility of acidic substances undergoing reduction reactions at the negative electrode to produce hydrogen gas, reduce the possibility of gas generation during battery cycling, and improve the safety performance of the battery.

[0087] In some embodiments, the viscosity of the electrolyte at 25°C is less than or equal to 3 mPa·s.

[0088] In some embodiments, the viscosity of the electrolyte at 25°C may be selected as 1.2 mPa·s, 1.5 mPa·s, 2.0 mPa·s, 2.2 mPa·s, 2.4 mPa·s, 2.5 mPa·s, or a range of any two of the above values.

[0089] The viscosity of the electrolyte at 25°C can be determined using commonly used testing methods in this field, for example: the electrolyte is obtained by disassembling the battery and determined by rotational viscosity analysis, which can be referenced in standard GB / T10247.

[0090] As mentioned earlier, additives in the separator can react with acidic substances in the system, reducing the impact of acidic substances on gas generation in the battery. However, additives and their reaction byproducts can remain in the pores of the separator, reducing its ionic conductivity and affecting the battery's kinetic performance.

[0091] By controlling the viscosity of the electrolyte to be less than or equal to 3 mPa·S, the migration rate and conductivity of active ions in the electrolyte can be improved, alleviating the kinetic problems caused by the blockage of pores by additives and their reaction byproducts in the separator, and improving the kinetic performance and cycle performance of the battery.

[0092] In some embodiments, the electrolyte comprises a first solvent having a viscosity of less than 0.65 mPa·s at 25°C. In some embodiments, the viscosity of the first solvent at 25°C may be selected from 0.1 mPa·s, 0.2 mPa·s, 0.3 mPa·s, 0.4 mPa·s, 0.5 mPa·s, 0.6 mPa·s, or a range of any two of the above values.

[0093] Adding a first solvent with a viscosity of less than 0.65 mPa·S to the electrolyte can reduce the electrolyte viscosity, thereby increasing the mobility and conductivity of active ions in the electrolyte and improving the battery's kinetic and cycle performance.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first solvent includes one or more of dimethyl carbonate, methyl formate, ethyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, ethyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, dioxolane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, methyl nonafluorobutyl ether, and ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether.

[0096] In some embodiments, the viscosity of methyl acetate is 0.48 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0097] In some embodiments, the viscosity of ethyl acetate is 0.55 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0098] In some embodiments, the viscosity of ethyl propionate is 0.59 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0099] In some embodiments, the viscosity of ethyl butyrate is 0.63 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0100] In some embodiments, the viscosity of tetrahydrofuran is 0.46 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0101] In some embodiments, the viscosity of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran is 0.48 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0102] In some embodiments, the viscosity of 1,2-dimethoxyethane is 0.58 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0103] In some embodiments, the viscosity of acetonitrile is 0.40 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0104] In some embodiments, the viscosity of ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether is 0.46 mPa·s at 25°C.

[0105] The viscosity of the first solvent at 25°C can be determined using commonly used testing methods in this field, as shown in the following example: determined by rotational viscosity analysis, which can be referenced in standard GB / T10247.

[0106] In some embodiments, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of the first solvent is 10%-80%, optionally 30%-70%.

[0107] In some embodiments, based on the mass meter of the electrolyte, the mass content of the first solvent can be selected as 10%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or a range of any two of the above values.

[0108] Controlling the mass content of the first solvent within a suitable range can improve the migration rate of active ions, increase the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte, and enhance the kinetic and rate performance of the battery. At the same time, it can prevent excessive low-viscosity first solvent from affecting the oxidation resistance of the electrolyte, reduce gas generation and / or lithium plating caused by oxidation, and improve the cycle performance and safety performance of the battery.

[0119] In some embodiments, the additive is loaded onto the separator membrane at a rate of 0.01 g / m³. 2 -10g / m 2 .

[0120] In some embodiments, the additive is loaded onto the separator membrane at a rate of 0.01 g / m³. 2 1g / m 2 2g / m 2 3g / m 2 4g / m 2 5g / m 2 6g / m 2 7g / m 2 8g / m 2 9g / m 2 10g / m 2 Or a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0121] The loading of additives on the separator membrane can be determined using commonly used testing methods in the field, as shown in the following example: Disassemble the battery to obtain the separator membrane, cut the separator membrane into 3cm*3cm samples, soak the samples in a solvent that can dissolve the additives (such as deionized water) for 5 days, filter and dry the solvent, obtain the mass of additives in the sample, and then calculate the loading of additives on the separator membrane.

[0136] The z is selected from the range of 3.5 to 4;

[0137] The value of g is selected from the range of 0 to 0.1.

[0138] In some implementations, m is 0.95, 1.00, 1.05, 1.10, 1.15, or a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0139] In some implementations, 'a' is 0, 0.05, 0.1, or a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0140] In some implementations, x is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, or a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0146] In some implementations, g is 0, 0.05, 0.1, or a range of any two of the above values.

[0147] In this application, the doping composition of the positive electrode active material is determined by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy, for example, referring to standards YS / T1006.2-2014, GB / T23367.2-2009, or YS / T1028.5-2015. Specifically, according to the embodiments of this application, an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer can be used, and the measurement can be performed according to the instruction manual of the corresponding equipment.

[0148] Selecting an appropriate dopant element D at the Mn site can improve the lattice change rate of lithium manganese iron phosphate during lithium insertion / extraction, enhance the structural stability of the cathode active material, significantly reduce manganese dissolution, and decrease oxygen activity on the particle surface. This can improve the specific capacity of the material, reduce interfacial side reactions between the material and the electrolyte during use, and ultimately improve the cycle performance of the material.

[0149] Choosing an appropriate P-site dopant element E can help change the ease with which the Mn-O bond length changes, thereby improving electronic conductivity and reducing the lithium-ion migration barrier, promoting lithium-ion migration, and improving the rate performance of secondary batteries.

[0150] Appropriate elemental doping with A at the Li site can also improve the lattice change rate of the material and maintain its battery capacity.

[0151] O-site doping with element G can help improve interfacial side reactions between the material and the electrolyte, reduce interfacial activity, and thus improve the cycle performance of the positive electrode active material. Furthermore, doping at the O site can enhance the material's resistance to acid corrosion such as HF, thereby improving its cycle performance and lifespan.

[0152] In some embodiments, the thickness of the carbon coating layer is less than or equal to 10 nm, and can be selected from 5 nm to 7.5 nm. In some embodiments, the thickness of the carbon coating layer can be selected from 1 nm, 2 nm, 3 nm, 4 nm, 5 nm, 6 nm, 7 nm, 10 nm, or any range of two of the above values.

[0153] The thickness of the carbon coating can be measured using commonly used methods in this field, as illustrated below: A thin slice of approximately 100 nm thickness is cut from the middle of a single particle of the positive electrode active material using FIB (fiber optics). The slice is then subjected to TEM (thermometry) to obtain the raw TEM image, which is saved in the original image format (xx.dm3). The raw TEM image is opened in DigitalMicrograph software, and the carbon coating is identified using lattice spacing and angle information. The thickness of the carbon coating is then measured. The thickness is measured at three locations on the selected particle, and the average value is taken.

[0154] Controlling the thickness of the carbon coating layer on the surface of the core within a suitable range can improve the conductivity of the positive electrode active material, reduce the structural degradation of the positive electrode active material during cycling, reduce the dissolution of manganese metal, and also prevent excessive carbon coating layer thickness from introducing too much trace water into the system. It also reduces the impact of carbon coating layer thickness on the extraction and insertion of lithium ions in the core.

[0155] In some embodiments, the thickness of the coating is 0.1 μm to 10 μm.

[0156] In some embodiments, the thickness of the coating is 0.1 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, or a range of any two of the above values.

[0157] By controlling the coating thickness within a suitable range, the contact between the additive and the positive and negative electrode interfaces can be effectively isolated, reducing the possibility of premature additive failure. This also reduces the possibility of acidic substances undergoing reduction reactions at the negative electrode to generate hydrogen gas. At the same time, it avoids the impact of excessive coating thickness on the permeability of the separator and the internal resistance of the battery, thereby comprehensively improving the battery's dynamic performance and cycle performance.

The resulting mixture was then transferred to a reaction vessel, and 5 L of deionized water and 1260.6 g of oxalic acid dihydrate were added. The mixture was heated to 80°C and stirred thoroughly at 500 rpm for 6 hours until homogeneous and the reaction was terminated with no more bubbles, yielding a doped manganese oxalate suspension.

The mixture was then uniformly mixed and reacted at 80 °C for 10 h to obtain a slurry. The slurry was transferred to a spray dryer for spray drying and granulation, and dried at 250 °C to obtain a powder. Under a protective atmosphere (90% nitrogen and 10% hydrogen), the powder was sintered in a roller kiln at 700 °C for 4 h to obtain LiMn. 0.6 Fe 0.4 PO4 core material.

[0215] Step S3: Prepare carbon coating layer

[0216] 37.3 g of sucrose was dissolved in 5000 g of deionized water, then stirred until fully dissolved to obtain a sucrose aqueous solution. 1633.9 g of the core material obtained in S2 was added to the sucrose solution and stirred together for 6 hours. After homogeneity, the mixture was dried in a 150°C oven for 6 hours, and then sintered at 700°C for 10 hours to obtain carbon-coated LiMn. 0.6 Fe 0.4 PO4, and the carbon coating thickness is 5nm.

[0219] 3) Preparation of negative electrode sheet

[0220] The active material artificial graphite, the binder styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), the thickener sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and the conductive agent acetylene black were dissolved in deionized water at a mass ratio of 96.5:2:1:0.5 and mixed evenly to prepare a negative electrode slurry. The negative electrode slurry was then evenly coated onto the negative electrode current collector copper foil, dried, and a negative electrode film was obtained. The film was then cold-pressed and slit to obtain the negative electrode sheet.

[0221] 4) Preparation of electrolyte

[0222] In an argon-atmospheric glove box (H2O < 0.1 ppm, O2 < 0.1 ppm), ethylene carbonate (EC, solid at 25 °C, viscosity 1.9 mPa·S at 40 °C) and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC, viscosity 0.78 mPa·S at 25 °C) were mixed uniformly at a mass ratio of 3 / 7. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC, viscosity 0.63 mPa·S at 25 °C) was added as the first solvent to obtain the mixed solvent of the electrolyte. Then, 1 mol / L LiPF6 lithium salt was added and dissolved in the mixed solvent and stirred uniformly to obtain the electrolyte. Based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of the first solvent, dimethyl carbonate, was 50%.

[0223] 5) Battery manufacturing

[0224] The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are stacked in sequence, with the separator positioned between the positive and negative electrodes to provide isolation. The cells are then wound to obtain a wound battery cell. The wound battery cell is placed in an outer packaging shell, dried, and then injected with electrolyte. After vacuum sealing, settling, formation, and shaping, a lithium-ion battery is obtained.

[0279] II. Testing Methods

[0280] 1. Testing the gas production of secondary batteries

[0281] The battery cell was immersed in silicone oil, and the test temperature was controlled at 25°C using a constant temperature water bath method. The mass (Mx) of the battery cell was measured, and the volume change (Vx) was calculated according to Archimedes' principle to obtain the gas production rate. Under the condition of 25°C, the batteries of the examples and comparative examples were charged at a constant current of 0.05C to 4.1V, and then charged at a constant voltage of 4.1V to 0.05C. The changes in volume change (Vx) over time and voltage were recorded to obtain the formation gas production rate per unit capacity at the cutoff voltage.

[0282] 2. Cyclic performance test of secondary batteries at 45℃

[0283] At 45℃, the lithium-ion battery was charged at a constant current of 1C to a voltage of 4.1V, then charged at a constant voltage of 4.1V until the current ≤0.02C. After resting for 2 minutes, the lithium-ion battery was discharged at a constant current of 1C to a voltage of 2.0V. This constitutes one charge-discharge cycle, and the discharge capacity of this cycle is the discharge capacity of the first cycle. The lithium-ion battery was subjected to multiple charge-discharge cycles using the above method until the discharge capacity of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery decreased to 80%, and the number of cycles was recorded.

[0284] 3. Storage performance test of secondary batteries at 45℃

[0285] At 45℃, the prepared lithium-ion secondary battery was first charged to 4.1V with a constant current of 0.33C, then charged to 0.05C with a constant voltage of 4.1V, and then discharged to 2V with a constant current of 0.33C. The discharge capacity C0 is the discharge capacity of the lithium-ion secondary battery before high-temperature storage. Then, the lithium-ion secondary battery was charged to 4.1V with a constant current of 0.33C, and then charged to 0.05C with a constant voltage of 4.1V to fully charge. The battery was placed in a 45℃ oven for 90 days, then removed and placed in a 25℃ environment for 0.33C discharge. The discharge capacity was recorded as C1; capacity retention rate = (C1 / C0) × 100%.

[0286] 4. Test of transition metal ion dissolution content after the secondary battery is cycled 500 times at 45℃

[0287] The positive electrode was obtained by disassembling the secondary battery after 500 cycles at 45°C. The positive electrode was scraped off with ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, washed, dried, and then digested with 1+1 aqua regia using microwave digestion (high temperature and high pressure ~200°C) for 6 hours. The content of various transition metals in the cathode was determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP).

[0294] As can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1-25 and Comparative Example 1, by adding sodium isonicotinic acid, potassium isonicotinic acid, sodium 2-hydroxypyridine-4-carboxylate, sodium 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylate, trihexylphosphine, tri-n-octylphosphine, and triphenylphosphine additives to the separator, the gas production volume during battery cycling can be reduced, the gas production phenomenon of the battery can be reduced, and the safety performance of the battery can be improved.

[0300] As can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1, 20-23 and Example 19, the viscosity of the electrolyte at 25°C is less than or equal to 3 mPa·S, which can further improve the high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the battery and extend the battery's service life.

[0301] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 20-23, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of the solvent with a viscosity of less than 0.65 mPa·S at 25°C is 10%-80%, and the battery has excellent high-temperature cycling performance and high-temperature storage performance.

[0302] As can be seen from Examples 1, 21-22 and Examples 20, 23, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass content of solvent with a viscosity of less than 0.65 mPa·s at 25°C is 30%-70%, which can further improve the high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the battery and extend the battery's service life.

[0306] A comparison of Examples 1, 15-16 and Example 17 shows that a carbon coating layer thickness of less than or equal to 10 nm in the positive electrode active material can further improve the high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the battery, and extend the battery's service life.

[0307] As can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1 and 16 and Examples 15 and 17, the thickness of the carbon coating layer of the positive electrode active material is 5nm-7.5nm, which can further reduce the amount of transition metals dissolved in the positive electrode active material, improve the high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the battery, and extend the battery's service life.
