[0015] Secondly, this application also provides an electronic device including the secondary battery described in the first aspect above. Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0017] In a first aspect, this application provides a secondary battery, comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte. The negative electrode comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode material layer located on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector. The negative electrode material layer comprises a negative electrode material. The negative electrode current collector is copper foil. The negative electrode material has an oxygen content of X1%, and after pressure treatment, the oxygen content in the negative electrode material is X2%, with 0.5 ≤ X2 - X1 ≤ 1.4, preferably 0.7 ≤ X2 - X1 ≤ 1.1. During the pressure treatment, the pressure applied to the negative electrode material is 127 MPa, and the pressure holding time is 60 seconds. The value of X2 - X1 can be a value within the range of 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.4, or any two of these values. The electrolyte comprises an ether nitrile compound. This application improves the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of secondary batteries by making the negative electrode material satisfy 0.5≤X2-X1≤1.4 and the electrolyte include ether nitrile compounds.

[0018] During the charging and discharging process of a secondary battery, the negative electrode material undergoes volume changes, causing the negative electrode material layer to pulverize and detach, which severely reduces the cycle capacity retention performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0019] The inventors of this application have discovered that having the negative electrode material satisfy 0.5≤X2-X1≤1.4 is beneficial for including a coating layer with high mechanical strength on the surface of the negative electrode material, which can constrain the volume change of the negative electrode material during the charging and discharging of the secondary battery, thereby reducing the pulverization and shedding of the negative electrode material layer. However, at this time, the coating layer is relatively dense, making it difficult for lithium ions to migrate efficiently within the coating layer. Therefore, including ether nitrile compounds in the electrolyte at the same time is beneficial for introducing an appropriate amount of flexible components into the SEI film, which helps to improve the thickness uniformity, elasticity and lithium ion conductivity of the SEI film, and can improve the migration efficiency of lithium ions between the electrolyte and the negative electrode material. When X2-X1≤0.5, the coating layer on the surface of the negative electrode material is relatively dense, making it difficult for the electrolyte to diffuse within the negative electrode material layer and contact the negative electrode material. This results in low migration efficiency of lithium ions between the electrolyte and the negative electrode material. Even if the electrolyte is made to include ether nitrile compounds to introduce flexible components into the SEI film to increase the lithium ion conductivity, it is still insufficient to enable efficient migration of lithium ions between the electrolyte and the negative electrode material. This also increases the lithium ion concentration on the surface of the negative electrode material and causes lithium metal to deposit on the surface of the negative electrode material, increasing the consumption of active lithium ions. When 1.4≤X2-X1, the mechanical strength of the coating layer on the surface of the negative electrode material is low. The volume change during lithium insertion / extraction of the negative electrode material causes repeated cracking and repair of the coating layer, increasing the consumption of electrolyte and active lithium ions. It also increases the side reactions between the negative electrode material and the electrolyte, and thickens the SEI film, which is not conducive to the migration of lithium ions between the electrolyte and the negative electrode material. In summary, this application improves the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of secondary batteries by ensuring that the negative electrode material satisfies 0.5≤X2-X1≤1.4 and that the electrolyte includes ether nitrile compounds.

[0020] In this application, the method of controlling the values ​​of X2-X1 is not limited, as long as it can achieve the purpose of this application.

[0021] The negative electrode material in this application can be obtained by a preparation method including the following steps: S1. Mix graphite raw materials and coating agents to obtain a mixture. Based on the mass of the mixture, the mass percentage of the coating agent is W%. Heat the mixture to T1 ℃ in an inert gas protective atmosphere and keep it at that temperature for t1 h to obtain graphite particles, where 1≤W≤5, 750≤T1≤1000, and 5≤t1≤7. The coating agent includes at least one of asphalt or petroleum coke, wherein the density of the asphalt is 1.0-1.1 g / cc and the aromatic hydrocarbon content is 40-60%, and the density of the petroleum coke is 1.9-2.1 g / cc and the aromatic hydrocarbon content is 70-90%. S2. At T2 ℃, hydrocarbon gas is introduced into a silicon-carbon matrix with a silicon content of S% and the reaction is maintained at this temperature for t2 h to obtain silicon-based particles. The hydrocarbon gas includes alkynes, alkanes and alkenes. Based on the volume of the hydrocarbon gas, the volume ratio of alkynes is V1%, the sum of the volume ratios of alkanes and alkenes is V2%, 40≤S≤70, 560≤T2≤700, 3≤t2≤5, 35≤V1≤50, 50≤V2≤65, and the volume ratio of alkanes to alkenes is 1:1. S3. Mix graphite particles and silicon-based particles at a mass ratio to obtain the negative electrode material.

[0022] Based on the above preparation method, a negative electrode material satisfying the range of 0.5 ≤ X2 - X1 ≤ 1.4 can be obtained. Increasing the temperature T1 or T2 within the range provided in this application can reduce the value of X2 - X1; increasing the volume percentage V1 of alkynes within the range provided in this application can also reduce the value of X2 - X1.

The positive electrode slurry includes the aforementioned positive electrode material and a positive electrode binder, and may further include a conductive agent if necessary. In addition, the positive electrode slurry may also contain a solvent.

For example, the negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode material layer disposed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector. In this application, the negative electrode material layer can be disposed on one surface or on two surfaces in the thickness direction of the negative electrode current collector. It should be noted that the "surface" here can be the entire area of ​​the negative electrode current collector or a part of the negative electrode current collector; this application does not impose any particular limitation, as long as the purpose of this application can be achieved.

[0038] The negative electrode material layer of this application includes a negative electrode material.

By making the value of X1 satisfy the above range, the oxygen content of the negative electrode material satisfies the above range, which is beneficial to further make the surface of the negative electrode material have a coating layer with suitable mechanical strength and density, and further improve the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of the secondary battery.

[0040] In some embodiments, 3.5≤X2≤5.4, and the value of X2 can be a value within the range of 3.5, 4.0, 4.2, 4.5, 4.9, 5.4 or any two thereof, so that the oxygen content of the negative electrode material after pressure treatment meets the above range, which is beneficial to further make the surface of the negative electrode material have a coating layer with suitable mechanical strength and density, and further improve the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of the secondary battery.

[0041] In some embodiments, the porosity of the negative electrode material layer is K%, 30≤K≤40, preferably 33≤K≤37.

By ensuring that the porosity of the negative electrode material layer meets the above range, it is beneficial for the negative electrode material to be wetted by the electrolyte, enabling the ether nitrile compound to form a more uniform SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode material, which is beneficial for the conduction of lithium ions between the electrolyte and the negative electrode material. At the same time, it ensures that the negative electrode material layer has suitable strength and a suitable contact area between the negative electrode material particles, and that there is a suitable conductive network within the negative electrode material layer, further improving the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of the secondary battery.

[0052] In some embodiments, the electrolyte comprises an ether nitrile compound.

[0053] In some embodiments, the ether nitrile compound includes a class of ether nitrile compounds, which includes at least one of the compounds shown in Formulas 1-1 to 1-3: Formula 1-1 Formula 1-2 Equation 1-3; Based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of a certain type of ether nitrile compound is E1%, where 0.1 ≤ E1 ≤ 3.5, preferably 0.5 ≤ E1 ≤ 2.4. The value of E1 can be within the range of 0.1, 0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4, 3.5, or any two of these ranges. This application, by including a certain type of ether nitrile compound within the above range in the electrolyte, can form a more uniform and elastic SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode material, thereby reducing side reactions between the negative electrode material and the electrolyte, and reducing the negative electrode material's surface surface defects. The volume change during lithium insertion / extraction of the electrode material causes repeated rupture and repair of the SEI film, reducing the consumption of electrolyte and active lithium ions. Furthermore, a class of ether nitrile compounds can decompose in the electrolyte to generate Li3N and introduce it into the SEI film. Li3N is an excellent lithium-ion conductor, which can promote the efficient transfer of lithium ions in the SEI film and give the electrolyte a suitable viscosity, which helps the negative electrode material to be fully wetted by the electrolyte. This can improve the conductivity of lithium ions in the negative electrode material layer and further improve the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of the secondary battery.

[0054] In some embodiments, the ether nitrile compound includes a class of ether nitrile compounds, which include at least one of the compounds shown in Formulas 2-1 to 2-3: Formula 2-1 Equation 2-2 Equation 2-3; Based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the second type of ether nitrile compound is E2%, where 0.05 ≤ E2 ≤ 2, preferably 0.1 ≤ E2 ≤ 0.9. The value of E2 can be within the range of 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.38, 0.40, 0.50, 0.70, 0.90, 2.00, or any two of these ranges. This application, by including the second type of ether nitrile compound within the above range in the electrolyte, facilitates the formation of a SEI film with high mechanical strength on the surface of the negative electrode material. This reduces the repeated rupture and repair of the SEI film caused by volume changes during lithium insertion / extraction of the negative electrode material, and reduces the consumption of electrolyte and active lithium ions. The second type of ether nitrile compound can form a more stable [Li] ether nitrile compound with lithium ions, with a lower desolvation energy barrier. + The triether nitrile structure facilitates faster lithium-ion insertion into the anode material, helps reduce the lithium-ion concentration on the anode material surface, and reduces lithium metal deposition on the anode surface. Furthermore, the Li3N generated by the decomposition of the two types of ether nitrile compounds in the electrolyte can promote the efficient transfer of lithium ions in the SEI film. At the same time, it gives the electrolyte a suitable viscosity, which helps the anode material to be fully wetted by the electrolyte, thereby improving the conductivity of lithium ions in the anode material layer and further improving the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of the secondary battery.

[0055] In some embodiments, the ether nitrile compound includes a first-class ether nitrile compound and a second-class ether nitrile compound. Based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the first-class ether nitrile compound is E1%, and the mass percentage of the second-class ether nitrile compound is E2%. 1.3 ≤ E1 / E2 ≤ 8, preferably 2 ≤ E1 / E2 ≤ 6. The value of E1 / E2 can be a value within the range of 1.3, 2.0, 2.9, 3.0, 6.0, 8.0, or any two of these. This application ensures that the value of E1 / E2 meets the above range, which is beneficial for the surface of the negative electrode material to include an SEI film with suitable mechanical strength and suitable elasticity, further enhancing the synergistic effect between the first-class and second-class ether nitrile compounds, and further improving the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of the secondary battery.

[0056] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes a primary ester and a secondary ester. The primary ester includes at least one of methyl propionate, methyl butyrate, ethyl acetate, ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, or methyl acetate. The secondary ester includes at least one of fluoroethylene carbonate, difluoroethylene carbonate, trifluoromethyl ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, or ethylene carbonate. Based on the mass of the electrolyte, the primary ester accounts for Z% of the mass, and the secondary ester accounts for Y%. 5 ≤ Y ≤ 27, and the value of Y can be 5, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 19, 20, 27, or any two of these values. 2 ≤ Z / Y ≤ 6, preferably 2.5 ≤ Z / Y ≤ 4, and the value of Z / Y can be 2.0, 2.5, 2.8, 3.1, 3.4, 3.6, or 4. Values ​​within the range of 0, 6, or any two thereof, in this application include a type I ester and a type II ester in the electrolyte. Type II esters facilitate the formation of a dense and stable SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode material layer, reducing the volume expansion during lithium insertion / extraction of the negative electrode material, which leads to repeated breakage and repair of the SEI film, reducing the consumption of electrolyte and lithium ions, and restraining the volume expansion during lithium insertion of the negative electrode material. At the same time, type I esters can reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte and reduce the impact of high-viscosity type I esters, allowing the negative electrode material to be fully wetted by the electrolyte and improving the migration efficiency of lithium ions between the electrolyte and the negative electrode material. In addition, type I esters can reach and repair the damaged SEI film in a timely manner with the electrolyte, further improving the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of the secondary battery.

[0057] In some embodiments, the diesters include fluorinated diesters and non-fluorinated diesters. The fluorinated diesters include at least one of fluoroethylene carbonate, difluoroethylene carbonate, or trifluoromethylethylene carbonate, and the non-fluorinated diesters include at least one of propylene carbonate or ethylene carbonate. Based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of fluorinated diesters is Y1%, and the mass percentage of non-fluorinated diesters is Y2%. The value of Y2 / Y1 is 0.6 ≤ Y2 / Y1 ≤ 2.6, preferably 0.8 ≤ Y2 / Y1 ≤ 2. The value of Y2 / Y1 can be within the range of 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.7, 2.0, 2.6 or any two of these. This application includes fluorinated and non-fluorinated diesters in the electrolyte within the above range. Fluorinated diesters are beneficial for forming a more stable SEI film with higher mechanical strength on the surface of the negative electrode material. This helps to reduce the repeated rupture and repair of the SEI film caused by volume changes during lithium insertion / extraction of the negative electrode material, reduce the consumption of electrolyte and active lithium ions, and can restrain the volume changes generated during lithium insertion / extraction of the negative electrode material. At the same time, non-fluorinated diesters can improve the wetting performance of the electrolyte, which is beneficial for improving the conductivity of lithium ions and can further improve the rate performance and cycle capacity retention performance of the secondary battery.

This application does not limit the content of lithium salts in the electrolyte, as long as the purpose of this application is achieved.

[0072] Example 1 Preparation of the negative electrode: Graphite particles and petroleum coke were mixed at a mass ratio of 98:2 and stirred for 6 minutes to obtain a mixture. The mixture was then heated to 900℃ at a heating rate of 10℃ / min and held for 5 hours under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain graphite particles. The density of the petroleum coke was 2.0 g / cc and the aromatic hydrocarbon content was 80%. Hydrocarbon gases were introduced into a silicon-carbon matrix with a silicon element content of 51% at 650℃ and held for 5 hours to obtain silicon-based particles. The hydrocarbon gases included alkynes, alkanes, and alkenes. Based on the volume of the hydrocarbon gases, the volume ratio of alkynes was 50%, and the sum of the volume ratios of alkanes and alkenes was 50%, with a volume ratio of 1:1 between alkenes and alkanes. Graphite particles and silicon-based particles were mixed at a mass ratio of 85:15 to obtain the negative electrode material.

[0073] A negative electrode material, single carbon nanotubes, polyacrylic acid, and carboxymethyl cellulose were mixed in a mass ratio of 95:0.5:3.5:1. Deionized water was then added and the mixture was stirred until homogeneous to form a negative electrode slurry. This negative electrode slurry was uniformly coated onto one surface of a copper foil. After drying, the above steps were repeated on the other surface of the copper foil to obtain a negative electrode sheet with a double-sided coating of negative electrode material. The coated copper foil was dried, pressure-treated, cut to the specified size, and electrode tabs were welded on to fabricate the negative electrode.

[0074] Preparation of the positive electrode: Lithium cobalt oxide, conductive carbon black, and polyvinylidene fluoride were dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone at a mass ratio of 97:1.5:1.5 to prepare a positive electrode slurry. The positive electrode slurry was uniformly coated onto one surface of an aluminum foil. After drying, the coating process was repeated on the other surface of the aluminum foil to obtain a positive electrode sheet with a double-sided coating of positive electrode material. The coated aluminum foil was dried, pressure-treated, cut to the specified size, and electrode tabs were welded on to fabricate the positive electrode.

Lithium hexafluorophosphate, the compound shown in Formula 1-1, the compound shown in Formula 2-1, EP, PP, FEC, EC, and PC were then added to the base solvent and mixed thoroughly to obtain the electrolyte. Based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentages were: lithium hexafluorophosphate 12.5%, the compound shown in Formula 1-1 0.5%, the compound shown in Formula 2-1 0.38%, EP 7%, PP 30%, FEC 5%, EC 3%, and PC 3%. The remainder was the base solvent.

[0077] Battery making: The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are stacked in sequence, with the separator acting as a separator between the positive and negative electrodes. The electrode assembly is then wound up to form an electrode assembly. The electrode assembly is placed in an outer aluminum-plastic film, baked, and then injected with the electrolyte. After vacuum sealing, settling, formation, shaping, and capacity testing, a lithium-ion battery is obtained.

[0078] The only difference between Examples 2 to 12, Comparative Examples 1 to 2 and Example 1 is that the parameters were adjusted according to Table 1. For details of the parameter adjustments and test results, please refer to Table 1.

[0079] The value of X2-X1 is reduced by increasing the volume ratio of alkynes V1; the value of A / B is increased by selecting copper materials with a higher proportion of (111) crystal planes.
