Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery technology, and particularly relates to a battery. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium replenishment technology is an important means to improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. During the first charge of a lithium-ion battery, the organic electrolyte will be reduced and decomposed on the surface of the negative electrode such as graphite, forming a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film. This permanently consumes a large amount of lithium from the positive electrode, resulting in a low coulombic efficiency (ICE) in the first cycle, which reduces the capacity and energy density of the lithium-ion battery.
[0003] However, current cathode lithium supplements generally suffer from problems such as high residual alkali on the surface, strong interfacial side reactions, and poor electronic conductivity. These problems lead to the generation of large amounts of gas and increased internal resistance when these cathode lithium supplements are added to lithium-ion batteries, thereby reducing the battery's kinetic performance and limiting its large-scale application. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a battery with low gas production and high energy density.
[0005] This invention provides a battery, comprising a positive electrode and a negative electrode;
[0006] The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode active layer; the positive electrode active layer includes a positive electrode material; the positive electrode material includes lithium iron phosphate materials; the mass ratio of Fe element to the positive electrode active layer is b;
[0007] The negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode active layer; the negative electrode active layer includes a negative electrode material; the negative electrode material includes a carbon material; in the 100% SOC state of the battery, the negative electrode active layer also includes a carbon-lithium composite; the ratio a of the mass of the carbon-lithium composite to the mass of the negative electrode active layer is;
[0008] The ratio of the specific capacity of the battery at 0.33C discharge under high temperature (45℃) to that at 0.33C discharge under normal temperature (25℃) is c; the battery satisfies the relationship: (a / b)×c=2~5.
[0009] Compared with existing technologies, this invention improves the battery's cycle performance by controlling the iron content in the positive electrode, the carbon-lithium composite material content in the negative electrode, and the ratio of the battery's discharge capacity at high and normal temperatures, thereby increasing the battery's energy density while avoiding gas generation inside the battery. Detailed Implementation
[0010] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0011] Lithium replenishment, also known as "pre-lithiation" or "pre-intercalation," involves adding lithium to the battery before it begins operation to replenish lithium ions. Pre-lithiation replenishes the electrode material, offsetting irreversible lithium loss and improving the battery's overall capacity and energy density. Compared to negative electrode lithium replenishment, positive electrode lithium replenishment materials can be added directly during the homogenization process of the positive electrode slurry, requiring no additional process modifications, resulting in lower costs, a simpler process, and safer operation. This makes it more suitable for current lithium-ion battery manufacturing processes and has gained favor in the industry in recent years.
[0012] This invention provides a battery, comprising a positive electrode and a negative electrode; the positive electrode includes a positive active layer; the positive active layer includes a positive electrode material; the positive electrode material includes a lithium iron phosphate material; the mass ratio of Fe element to the positive active layer is b; the negative electrode includes a negative active layer; the negative active layer includes a negative electrode material; the negative electrode material includes a carbon material; in the 100% SOC state of the battery, the negative active layer further includes a lithium carbon-carbon composite; the mass ratio of the lithium carbon-carbon composite to the mass of the negative active layer is a; the ratio of the specific capacity of the battery at 0.33C discharge under high temperature (45℃) to the specific capacity at 0.33C discharge under normal temperature (25℃) is c; the battery satisfies the relationship: (a / b) × c = 2~5.
[0013] Further control of the formula (a / b)×c within the range of 2.5~3.5, on the one hand, takes into account the lithium replenishment effect and improves the energy density of the battery; on the other hand, it avoids excessive gas production inside the battery, which would cause the battery cycle performance to deteriorate. If the formula value is too large, gas production will increase and the cycle performance will be worse; if the formula value is too small, the lithium replenishment effect will be poor and the battery energy density will be low.
[0014] Under high-temperature conditions, the lithium replenishing agent can react more preferentially, making up for the consumption of lithium ions during the formation and film formation process, reducing side reactions in the electrolyte and positive and negative electrodes, and allowing the lithium in the positive electrode material to fully utilize its capacity. An increase in the ratio of high temperature to room temperature means that the lithium replenishing agent's role in compensating for the consumption of active lithium is more significant, resulting in a better lithium replenishment effect. Therefore, the ratio can be used to represent the lithium replenishment effect. In this invention, the ratio c of the battery's 0.33C discharge specific capacity at 45°C to its 0.33C discharge specific capacity at 25°C is preferably 1.05~1.5. Optionally, c can be 1.05, 1.1, 1.12, 1.15, 1.18, 1.2, 1.22, 1.25, 1.28, 1.3, 1.32, 1.35, 1.38, 1.4, 1.42, 1.45, 1.48, 1.5, or any two of the above values. In some embodiments provided by the present invention, c can specifically be 1.33, 1.39, 1.35, 1.26, 1.21, 1.49, 1.45, 1.24, 1.05, 1.24, 1.47, 1.32, 1.37, 1.34, 1.46, 1.4, 1.35 or 1.31.
[0015] In a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, c is further preferably 1.2 to 1.4; within this range, the energy density of the battery can be further improved.
[0016] In this invention, the value of c can be specifically adjusted by comprehensively considering factors such as the particle size of lithium iron phosphate; the type and content of solvents and additives in the electrolyte; the type of lithium replenishing agent; and the thickness of the second carbon coating layer on the surface of the lithium replenishing agent.
[0017] The mass ratio of Fe to the positive electrode active layer is b, and the ratio of the mass of the carbon-lithium complex to the mass of the negative electrode active layer is a, when the battery is at 100% SOC. By limiting a / b, the lithium replenishment content can be indirectly reflected. During battery charging, lithium ions are released from the positive electrode and reach the negative electrode. The lithium ions released from the positive electrode are inserted into the negative electrode material and combine with the carbon in the negative electrode to form a carbon-lithium complex. The Fe element comes from lithium iron phosphate. The ratio of the carbon-lithium complex formed in the negative electrode to the Fe element in the positive electrode sheet indirectly reflects the lithium abundance and the content of the lithium replenishment agent. As the ratio increases, it means that more lithium ions are released from the positive electrode. However, if the lithium replenishment agent content is too high, the gas production will increase. At the same time, the Fe element content cannot be too low. In addition, low Fe element content can also easily reduce the electronic conductivity of the positive electrode active material layer, affecting the diffusion ability of lithium ions and affecting the battery energy density. Therefore, in this invention, the value of a / b is preferably 1.4 to 4; optionally, the value of a / b is 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, or a range between any two of the above values.
[0018] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the a / b ratio is preferably in the range of 1.8 to 3. Within this range, the battery can have lower gas production and higher energy density.
[0019] In this invention, the value of a / b can be comprehensively adjusted by factors such as the molar ratio of Li to Fe in the lithium iron phosphate material, the particle size Dn10 of the lithium iron phosphate material, the type of lithium replenishing agent, the preparation method of the lithium replenishing agent and the lithium iron phosphate material, the thickness of the second carbon coating layer on the surface of the lithium replenishing agent, and the catalyst content.
[0020] In this invention, the Fe content cannot be too low. Low Fe content can easily reduce the electronic conductivity of the positive electrode active material layer, affecting the diffusion ability of lithium ions and thus the battery energy density. However, excessive Fe content can affect the material structure, leading to lattice defects and structural distortions, irregular particle morphology, indirectly reducing compaction density, and also increasing the impurity phase and specific surface area, thus affecting the battery energy density. Therefore, in this invention, the preferred range of the mass ratio b of Fe to the positive electrode active layer is 0.25 to 0.35; optionally, b can be 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.31, 0.32, 0.33, 0.34, 0.35, or any two of the above values.
[0021] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the range of b is preferably 0.3 to 0.33; within this range, the energy density of the battery can be further improved.
[0022] The mass ratio of the lithium carbon compound in the negative electrode reflects the amount of lithium ions extracted from the positive electrode and the effect of the lithium replenishment agent. In this invention, the ratio 'a' of the mass of the lithium carbon compound to the mass of the negative electrode active layer is preferably 0.5 to 0.94 when the battery is at 100% SOC. Optionally, 'a' can be 0.5, 0.52, 0.54, 0.55, 0.56, 0.58, 0.6, 0.62, 0.64, 0.65, 0.66, 0.68, 0.7, 0.72, 0.74, 0.73, 0.75, 0.76, 0.78, 0.8, 0.82, 0.84, 0.85, 0.86, 0.88, 0.9, 0.92, 0.94, or any two of the above values.
[0023] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the range of 'a' is preferably 0.6 to 0.8. Within this range, the gas production of the battery can be further reduced and the energy density of the battery can be increased.
[0024] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the range of 'a' is preferably 0.72 to 0.8. Within this range, the gas production of the battery can be further reduced and the energy density of the battery can be increased.
[0025] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the carbon-lithium composite includes LiC6, which is the most thermodynamically stable and has a longer cycle life compared to other carbon-lithium compounds; it also has a high and stable energy density and controllable energy output.
[0026] In this invention, the lithium replenishment effect can be improved by synergistic regulation of a / b and c, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery. At the same time, it avoids excessive lithium replenishment content, which would increase the amount of gas generated inside the battery.
[0027] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the lithium iron phosphate material includes a first particle and a second particle; the first particle has a particle size greater than or equal to 1 μm; and the second particle has a particle size less than 1 μm. By combining the first and second particles, the smaller second particle fills the gaps between the first and second particles, increasing the compaction density. At the same time, the larger first particle avoids excessive side reactions caused by using only the second particle, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery. This can further reduce the demand for lithium replenishment agent and reduce the gas generation problem caused by excessive introduction of lithium replenishment agent. Therefore, under these conditions, the a / b range is preferably 1.4 to 3.5.
[0028] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, the particle size corresponding to a cumulative distribution of the second particles reaching 10% is Dn10, and the preferred range of Dn10 is 0.1~0.5 μm. By further controlling the particle size of the second particles, the gas production of the battery can be improved. Optionally, the particle size Dn10 of the second particles is 0.1 μm, 0.11 μm, 0.12 μm, 0.13 μm, 0.14 μm, 0.15 μm, 0.16 μm, 0.17 μm, 0.18 μm, 0.19 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.21 μm, 0.22 μm, 0.23 μm, 0.24 μm, 0.25 μm, 0.26 μm, 0.27 μm, 0.28 μm, 0.29 μm, 0.3 μm, 0.31 μm, 0.32 μm, 0.33 μm, 0.34 μm, etc. The particle size (Dn) can be 0.35 μm, 0.36 μm, 0.37 μm, 0.38 μm, 0.39 μm, 0.4 μm, 0.41 μm, 0.42 μm, 0.43 μm, 0.44 μm, 0.45 μm, 0.46 μm, 0.47 μm, 0.48 μm, 0.49 μm, 0.5 μm, or any two of the above values. By controlling the range of Dn, on the one hand, smaller particles shorten the lithium-ion transport path, improving the energy density of the battery; on the other hand, excessively small particles can lead to increased side reactions and increased gas production inside the battery.
[0029] Regarding the testing method for the second particle Dn10, this application does not limit it. Specifically, the test can be conducted as follows: If the positive electrode is in a secondary battery, the secondary battery in an empty state (the battery is discharged at 0.33C to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V) is disassembled. The obtained positive electrode is soaked in dimethyl carbonate at 25℃ for 2 hours, dried, and then the material layer powder on the positive electrode is scraped off. The scraped powder is used as a sample. The sample is fixed with conductive adhesive and CP argon ion polished, a conductive film is deposited, placed on the sample stage and observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The size is adjusted to 10kx. Then, the first and second particles are determined by the particle size. The particle size (i.e., diameter) of the first lithium iron phosphate particle is greater than or equal to 1μm, and the particle size (diameter) of the second particle is <1μm. The diameter of the second particle in the measurement area is measured using Nano Measure software. The diameter of 100 second particles is measured, and the particle size Dn10 corresponding to the number of 10% of the 100 second particles is counted.

[0032] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the doping amount of V is preferably 1600~1750 ppm; within this range, the specific capacity and cycle performance of the material can be further improved; optionally, the doping amount of V is 1600 ppm, 1620 ppm, 1650 ppm, 1680 ppm, 1700 ppm, 1720 ppm, 1750 ppm or any two of the above values.
[0033] Regarding the testing method for elemental content, this application does not limit the specific method. The test can be conducted as follows: If the positive electrode is in a secondary battery, disassemble the secondary battery in an empty state (the battery is discharged at 0.33C to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V). Soak the obtained positive electrode in dimethyl carbonate at 25℃ for 2 hours, dry it, scrape off the positive electrode active layer powder, accurately weigh 0.5 g of the positive electrode active layer powder, disperse it in 20 ml of water, add 2 mL of concentrated nitric acid (analytical grade) and 5 mL of 40% boric acid solution, mix well and heat it. After the powder dissolves, dilute the material with water to 100 mL to obtain the test solution. Perform ICP testing on the test solution. Before the test, a standard solution must be prepared. The linear correlation coefficient of the standard concentration must be above 0.999 to be used as a normal standard. Dilute the 1000 mg / L standard solution with deionized water to different concentrations (generally 0, 1 mg / 100mL, 2 mg / 100mL, 3 mg / 100mL), and select the element detection wavelength. Set the experimental conditions: based on the characteristics of the sample and the element to be detected, set appropriate ICP instrument operating conditions: gas flow rate 0.5 L / min, power 1150 W, and select the element detection wavelength, which depends on the element being tested (e.g., V wavelength 309.311 nm, Ti wavelength 323.452 nm). The element content in the sample can be read by the self-analysis function of the ICP testing software. The standard solution can be any solution containing the element to be tested that is well known to those skilled in the art. Specifically, it can be prepared as follows: 1) Take five 100 mL volumetric flasks and add 0 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, and 15 mL of stock solution containing Ti or V, respectively; 2) Add 2 mL of concentrated nitric acid (analytical grade) and 5 mL of... 40% boric acid solution, dilute to the mark with ultrapure water and shake well; 3) let stand for 10 min (to allow the boric acid to fully complex).

Finally, add an appropriate amount of deionized water to each of the three circular pieces, gently wipe off the coating on the circular pieces with lint-free paper to expose the copper foil, let it stand at room temperature (or dry) for 10 minutes, and after the copper foil is dry, weigh the mass of the three copper foil pieces, take the average value and record it as M0.

[0113] Preparation of integrated cathode material containing lithium supplementation agent: Lithium oxalate (LCO) was dissolved in water (solid content 0.71%). After complete dissolution, the lithium supplementation agent aqueous solution was poured into carbon source slurry (CNT, solid content 4.5%, the amount of carbon source added based on solid content is shown in Table 1) in batches. After complete and uniform dispersion, a mixed solution was obtained. A pre-dispersed catalyst solution (Co3O4, solid content 2%, the specific amount added based on solid content is shown in Table 1) was dissolved in the mixed solution. After the mixed solution was uniformly dispersed, lithium iron phosphate material was added in batches (the ratio of lithium oxalate to lithium iron phosphate material is shown in Table 1). After complete and uniform mixing, centrifugal spray drying (200℃) was performed to obtain LFP-LCO integrated master powder. An appropriate amount of master powder was weighed and placed in a tube furnace with nitrogen atmosphere for high-temperature sintering (300℃) and held for 4 h to obtain LFP-LCO integrated precursor. Then, it was crushed in a crusher to obtain integrated cathode material; the total crushing time was 2 min, with each crushing time being 1 min and then cooled before crushing again.
[0114] Preparation of a split cathode material containing a lithium supplement agent: An appropriate amount of lithium supplement agent was dissolved in water (specific types are shown in Table 1, concentration 0.71%, LFO in Table 1 is lithium iron phosphate Li5FeO4). After complete dissolution, the solution was poured in batches into a pre-dispersed carbon source slurry (CNT, solid content 4.5%, the amount of carbon source added based on solid content is shown in Table 1). After uniform dispersion, an appropriate amount of catalyst (Co3O4, solid content 2%, the specific amount added based on solid content is shown in Table 1) was added. After the catalyst was uniformly dispersed, it was centrifuged and spray-dried (200℃), and then dried in a 100℃ drying oven for 12 h to obtain the lithium supplement material. A mixing tank was used to mix the lithium supplement material and lithium iron phosphate materials in a certain proportion (specifically shown in Table 1) to obtain a mixed split cathode material.
[0115] 2) Preparation of positive electrode sheet: The above-mentioned integrated positive electrode material (Examples 1-13, Examples 19-21 and Comparative Examples 1-4) or the split positive electrode material (Examples 14-18, Comparative Examples 5 and Comparative Examples 6) were used as the main material.

This negative electrode slurry is then coated onto copper foil to obtain a double-sided coated electrode. After rolling and cutting, the negative electrode sheet is obtained with an areal density of 180 g / m³. 2 Compacted density 1.65 g / cm³ 3 .
[0117] 4) Preparation of electrolyte: Ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and diethyl carbonate (DEC) are mixed to obtain an organic solvent. Then, fully dried lithium salt LiPF6 and additives are dissolved in the mixed organic solvent to prepare an electrolyte with a concentration of 1 mol / L. The specific composition of the solvent and additives is shown in Table 2. Except for the change in EC content, the solvent is composed of DMC and EMC in a mass ratio of 1:1.
[0118] 5) The diaphragm is made of PE.
[0119] 6) Assembly and Formation: The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are stacked in sequence, with the separator acting as a separator between the positive and negative electrodes. Then, they are wound to obtain a bare cell. The bare cell is placed in an outer packaging shell, dried, and then injected with electrolyte. After vacuum sealing, standing (temperature 25℃, 8 h), formation, and shaping processes, a lithium-ion battery (size 72×173×204 mm) is obtained. The formation conditions are as follows: after the battery is left to stand for 2 h, it is charged at a constant current of 0.05C for 60 min, left to stand for 5 min, charged at 0.2C to 3.9V, left to stand for another 5 min, charged at 0.05C to 4.3V, left to stand for 5 min, and discharged at 0.3C for 30 min. The gas production test is for the gas production during the formation process.
[0120] Methods for testing Ti doping levels:
[0121] 1) Pretreatment: Discharge the battery to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V at 0.33C, disassemble the empty lithium-ion battery, and obtain the electrode sheet. Soak the positive electrode sheet in DMC (dimethyl carbonate) at room temperature for 60 min, remove it, and air dry it at room temperature with humidity ≤15%; 2) Accurately weigh 0.5 g of positive electrode active material powder, disperse it in 20 mL of water, add 10 mL of nitric acid, mix well, and then heat it. After the positive electrode active material powder dissolves, dilute the material with water to 100 mL to obtain the test solution; 3) Perform ICP test on the test solution. Before the test, a standard solution must be prepared. The linear correlation coefficient of the standard concentration must be above 0.999 to be used as a normal standard. Dilute the 1000 mg / L standard solution with deionized water to different concentrations (generally 0, 1 mg / 100 mL, 2 mg / 100 mL, 3 mg / 100 mL), select the element detection wavelength, and set the experimental conditions: based on the characteristics of the sample and the element to be detected, set appropriate ICP instrument operating conditions: gas flow rate 0.5 L / min, power 1150 W, and select the element detection wavelength, which depends on the element to be tested.
[0122] The Ti doping content in the lithium iron phosphate materials was found to be 2685 ppm.
[0123] The testing method for Fe is the same as that for Ti.
[0124] Testing of the types of carbon-lithium composites in the negative electrode:
[0125] 1) Pretreatment: Discharge the battery at 0.33C to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V, remove the empty battery, disassemble the electrodes, and soak the electrodes in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) solution for 4 hours; then air dry.
[0126] 2) The electrode was tested using an XRD diffractometer. The test conditions were set as follows: copper target, scanning voltage of 40 kV, current of 40 mA, scanning range of 5-90°, and scanning speed of 4° / min. The XRD was calibrated using the silicon internal standard method. The X-ray source was started, and the type of lithium-carbon compound was determined by the peak position. The characteristic diffraction peaks of LiC6 were 2θ = 25.9° and 43.3°.
[0127] Tests revealed that the lithium-carbon composites in Examples 1-21 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were all LiC6.
[0128] Methods for detecting the content of carbon-lithium complexes:
[0129] Lithium-carbon complexes react with ethanol to produce hydrogen gas. Taking LiC6 as an example, the core reaction can be simplified to: 2LiC6 + 2C2H5OH → 2C2H5OLi + H2↑ + 12C. The amount of LiC6 can be determined by the hydrogen content, which can be tested using the following methods:
[0130] 1) Pretreatment: The battery is discharged to 2.5V at 0.33C, then charged to 3.65V at a constant current of 0.33C, and then charged to the cutoff current of 0.05C at a constant voltage to obtain a fully charged battery. The fully charged battery is disassembled, the negative electrode is removed, and the negative electrode is soaked in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) solution for 4 hours and then dried.
[0131] A single fully charged negative electrode and 99.7% anhydrous ethanol were placed in an aluminum-plastic bag, sealed, and vacuumed. The volume V1 before the reaction was measured. The ethanol bag was then punctured under pressure, and the negative electrode and ethanol reacted to produce gas. After 12 hours, the volume V2 after the reaction was measured. The amount of gas generated was obtained by subtracting V1 from V2.
[0132] Calculate the mass of LiC6: Mass of LiC6 = Difference in gas production × Hydrogen density × Molecular weight of LiC6 / 1000 = (V2 - V1) × 0.0899 × 79 / 1000;
[0133] Take a single negative electrode sheet and measure its mass m1. Then scrape off the active layer and measure the mass m2 of the copper foil. The mass of the active material layer of the negative electrode sheet = m1 - m2.
[0134] Finally, the content of LiC6 in the negative electrode active layer was calculated as a = mass of LiC6 / mass of the negative electrode active layer. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0135] Detection method for Dn10 in the second particle of lithium iron phosphate materials:
[0136] The secondary battery in its empty state (discharged at 0.33C to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V) was disassembled. The obtained positive electrode sheet was soaked in dimethyl carbonate at 25℃ for 2 hours and dried. Then, the positive electrode active layer powder on the positive electrode sheet was scraped off and used as a sample. The sample was fixed with conductive adhesive and polished with CP argon ion to deposit a conductive film. It was placed on the sample stage and observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The microscope was adjusted to 10kx and then the first and second particles were determined by particle size. The first lithium iron phosphate particle size (i.e., diameter) was greater than or equal to 1μm, and the second particle size (diameter) was less than 1μm. The diameter of the second particles in the measurement area was measured using Nano Measure software. The diameter of 100 second particles was measured, and the particle size Dn10 corresponding to the number of 10% of the 100 second particles was counted. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0137] Test method for the volumetric cumulative distribution particle size of negative electrode materials:
[0138] 1) Pretreatment: Discharge the battery at 0.33C to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V, remove the empty battery, disassemble the electrode, soak the electrode in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) solution for 4 hours, air dry, scrape off the negative electrode material on the surface of the negative electrode current collector, the particle size of the material can be measured using a laser particle size distribution measuring instrument (Mastersizer 3000), according to the particle size distribution laser diffraction method (specific steps refer to GB / T19077-2016), the particle size corresponding to the cumulative particle size distribution percentage reaching 50% is Dv50.
[0139] High-temperature and room-temperature discharge capacity:
[0140] At 25°C, the battery is discharged at 0.33C to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V, then charged at 0.33C to the upper limit voltage of 3.65V with a cutoff current of 0.05C, and then discharged at 0.33C to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V. This process is repeated twice, and the discharge capacity of the second cycle is taken as the battery discharge capacity Q1.
[0141] The battery was then left to stand at a high temperature of 45°C for 30 minutes, then charged at 0.33C to the upper limit voltage of 3.65V with a cutoff current of 0.05C, and then discharged at 0.33C to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V. This was done as one cycle, and the charge and discharge cycle was repeated for two weeks. The discharge capacity of the second week was taken as the high temperature discharge capacity Q2.
[0142] The ratio Q2 / Q1 is c, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0143] Methods for testing the amount of gas produced during chemical formation:
[0144] After the battery is fabricated, its volume is tested using the water displacement method; then, the battery is removed and subjected to the formation process as follows:
[0145] After the battery was left to stand for 2 hours, it was charged at a constant current of 0.05C for 60 minutes, left to stand for 5 minutes, charged at 0.2C to 3.9V, left to stand for another 5 minutes, charged at 0.05C to 4.3V, left to stand for 5 minutes, discharged at 0.3C for 30 minutes, and then the process was completed. The volume of the battery after the formation was completed was also tested using the water displacement method.
[0146] After the formation process is complete, remove the battery, dry it, and charge it at 0.33C to the upper limit voltage of 3.65V and the cutoff current of 0.05C at 25℃. Then discharge it at 0.33C to the lower limit voltage of 2.5V. Repeat steps 1)-4) twice. Use the discharge capacity of the second cycle as the battery discharge capacity Q. 1) Charge at a constant current rate of 1C to 3.65V and charge at a constant voltage rate until the current drops to 0.05C; 2) Let it stand for 30 minutes; 3) Discharge at a 1C rate to 2.5V; 4) Let it stand for 30 minutes.
[0147] The specific steps for testing the volume of a secondary battery using the above water displacement method are as follows: (i) Add an appropriate amount of pure water to the container and test its density with a hydrometer and record it; (ii) Adjust the balance to be level and tare the electrolyte (tare the electrolyte before testing each secondary battery); (iii) Submerge the main body of the secondary battery along with its tabs in the solution, ensuring that the secondary battery does not contact the container wall, and read and record the data as T after stabilization; (iv) Turn off the balance and seal the container to prevent the reagent from evaporating. The formula for calculating the volume of a secondary battery is T / ρ_liquid; where, before and after formation, tests are performed to obtain T0 and T1 respectively; then the difference between V1 and V0 is: V1-V0=T1 / ρ_liquid-T0 / ρ_liquid;
[0148] Formation gas production = (V1-V0) / secondary battery capacity Q;
[0149] The resulting gas production is shown in Table 2.
[0150] Battery energy density testing methods:
[0151] The weight of the battery was measured and recorded as m. The battery was placed in a fixture and a force of 3000 N was applied. It was charged to 3.65 V with a constant current of 0.33 C, and then left to rest for 30 min. It was then discharged to the lower limit voltage of 2.5 V with a constant current of 0.33 C, and left to rest for 30 min. This cycle was repeated 3 times. The discharge capacity (in Ah) and energy E (average of three cycles) were obtained. The discharge energy density = E / m (in Wh / kg). The results are shown in Table 2.

[0156] Table 2 Battery electrolyte and negative electrode parameters and test results
[0157]
[0158]
[0159] Based on Examples 1-21 and Comparative Examples 1-6, it can be seen that when the formula (a / b)×c falls within the range of 2-5, the energy density of the battery is not less than 155Wh / kg and the gas production is not higher than 68.5 mL / Ah.
[0160] Furthermore, by further controlling a / b within the range of 1.8 to 3 and c within the range of 1.2 to 1.4, the energy density of the battery can be made not less than 166 Wh / kg and the gas production not more than 55.5 mL / Ah; or, further, when the formula (a / b) × c falls within the range of 2.5 to 3.5, the energy density of the battery can be made not less than 174 Wh / kg and the gas production not more than 37.2 mL / Ah.
[0161] Furthermore, by simultaneously controlling a / b within the range of 1.8 to 3 and c within the range of 1.2 to 1.4, the formula (a / b) × c falls within the range of 2.5 to 3.5, which can make the energy density of the battery no less than 180 Wh / kg and the gas production no more than 32 mL / Ah.
[0162] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 14 (split cathode materials with lithium oxalate as lithium supplement), Examples 5 and 15 (split cathode materials with lithium oxalate as lithium supplement), under similar conditions, although the gas production is similar between integrated cathode materials and split cathode materials, integrated cathode materials can significantly improve the energy density of batteries.
[0163] The amount of gas produced by a battery varies depending on the type of lithium supplement used. When lithium oxalate is used as the lithium supplement, the gas production of the battery is no higher than 68.5 mL / Ah when (a / b)×c is controlled within the range of 2 to 5. When LFO is used as the lithium supplement, the gas production of the battery is no higher than 17.8 mL / Ah. This is due to the properties of the lithium supplement itself. When lithium oxalate is used as the lithium supplement, the gas production can be further reduced by adjusting the range of a / b and c, while increasing the energy density of the battery.
[0164] The results of Comparative Example 4 show that the secondary sintering temperature exceeded 800℃ during the preparation of lithium iron phosphate materials, resulting in the formation of impurities and a decrease in Fe content, which in turn led to a significant reduction in the energy density of the battery.
[0165] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
