[0031] During the charging and discharging process, manganese-containing positive electrode active materials, especially those rich in manganese, are prone to manganese ions dissolving from the manganese-rich positive electrode active material and depositing onto the negative electrode sheet due to the Jahn-Teller effect (JT effect) or side reactions between the manganese-rich positive electrode active material and the electrolyte. The manganese ions continuously damage the SEI film on the negative electrode sheet, causing the lithium ions in the manganese-containing positive electrode active material to be continuously consumed in order to repair the SEI film, which aggravates the loss of active lithium ions and results in a faster capacity decay of lithium-ion secondary batteries.

The battery 100 includes a housing 10 and a battery cell 20, with the battery cell 20 housed within the housing 10. The housing 10 provides a space for the battery cell 20 and can have various structures. In some embodiments, the housing 10 may include a first portion 11 and a second portion 12, which overlap each other, jointly defining a space for accommodating the battery cell 20. The second portion 12 may be a hollow structure with one open end, and the first portion 11 may be a plate-like structure, covering the open side of the second portion 12 so that the first portion 11 and the second portion 12 jointly define the space; alternatively, the first portion 11 and the second portion 12 may both be hollow structures with one open side, with the open side of the first portion 11 covering the open side of the second portion 12. Of course, the housing 10 formed by the first portion 11 and the second portion 12 can have various shapes, such as a cylinder, a cuboid, etc.
[0076] In battery 100, there can be multiple battery cells 20. These multiple battery cells 20 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner. A mixed connection means that multiple battery cells 20 are connected in both series and parallel. Multiple battery cells 20 can be directly connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner, and then the whole assembly of multiple battery cells 20 is housed in the housing 10. Alternatively, battery 100 can also be composed of multiple battery cells 20 first connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner to form a battery module, and then multiple battery modules are connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner to form a whole, which is then housed in the housing 10.

The battery cell 20 includes an end cap 21, a casing 22, a cell assembly 23, and other functional components.
[0079] End cap 21 refers to a component that covers the opening of housing 22 to isolate the internal environment of battery cell 20 from the external environment. The shape of end cap 21 can be adapted to the shape of housing 22 to fit it. Optionally, end cap 21 can be made of a material with certain hardness and strength (such as aluminum alloy), so that end cap 21 is not easily deformed under pressure and impact, allowing battery cell 20 to have higher structural strength and improved safety performance. Functional components such as electrode terminals 21a can be provided on end cap 21. Electrode terminals 21a can be used for electrical connection with cell assembly 23 to output or input electrical energy to battery cell 20.

The material of end cap 21 can also be various, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, etc., and this application embodiment does not impose special limitations on this. In some embodiments, an insulating element may be provided on the inner side of the end cap 21. The insulating element can be used to isolate the electrical connection components within the housing 22 from the end cap 21 to reduce the risk of short circuits. For example, the insulating element may be made of plastic, rubber, etc.
[0080] The housing 22 is a component used to cooperate with the end cap 21 to form the internal environment of the battery cell 20. This internal environment can accommodate the cell assembly 23, electrolyte, and other components. The housing 22 and the end cap 21 can be independent components. An opening can be provided on the housing 22, and the end cap 21 can be used to close the opening to form the internal environment of the battery cell 20. Alternatively, the end cap 21 and the housing 22 can be integrated. Specifically, the end cap 21 and the housing 22 can form a common connecting surface before other components are inserted into the housing. When it is necessary to encapsulate the interior of the housing 22, the end cap 21 closes the housing 22. The housing 22 can be of various shapes and sizes, such as cuboid, cylindrical, hexagonal prism, etc. Specifically, the shape of the housing 22 can be determined according to the specific shape and size of the cell assembly 23. The material of the housing 22 can be various, such as copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, etc. This application embodiment does not impose any special limitations on this.
[0081] The cell assembly 23 is the component in the battery cell 20 where the electrochemical reaction occurs. The casing 22 may contain one or more cell assemblies 23. The cell assembly 23 is mainly formed by winding or stacking positive and negative electrode plates, and typically a separator is provided between the positive and negative electrode plates. The portions of the positive and negative electrode plates containing active material constitute the main body of the cell assembly, while the portions of the positive and negative electrode plates without active material each constitute a tab 23a. The positive and negative tabs may be located together at one end of the main body or separately at both ends of the main body. During the charging and discharging process of the battery 100, the positive and negative active materials react with the electrolyte, and the tabs 23a connect to the electrode terminals 21a to form a current loop.

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0094] 1) Preparation of lithium-ion secondary batteries
[0095] 1.1) Preparation of positive electrode sheet.
[0096] The positive electrode active material, conductive carbon black (Super P), and PVDF were mixed at a mass ratio of 96:2.5:1.5. An appropriate amount of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) solvent was added, and the mixture was stirred until homogeneous to obtain a positive electrode slurry. The positive electrode slurry was coated onto aluminum foil and dried to obtain a positive electrode active material layer. In this embodiment, the positive electrode active material is LiNi. 0.5 Mn 1.5 O4. The loading of positive electrode active material on both sides of the positive current collector is 0.017 g / cm³. 2 .
[0097] N-methylpyrrolidone solvent was added to activated carbon and stirred until homogeneous. This mixture was then coated onto the positive electrode active material layer, dried, and used to form the first material layer. The material was then cold-pressed and slit to form the positive electrode sheet. The specific surface area of the activated carbon was 200 m². 2 / g, the volume average particle size DV50 of activated carbon is 5μm; the mass ratio of activated carbon to positive electrode active material is 1.1:100.
[0098] 1.2) Preparation of negative electrode sheet.
[0099] Artificial graphite (anode active material), carbon black (Super P) (conductive agent), styrene-butadiene rubber (binder), and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (thickener) were mixed thoroughly in an appropriate amount of deionized water at a mass ratio of 96:1:1:2 to form a uniform negative electrode slurry. This slurry was then uniformly coated onto the surface of a copper foil current collector, and dried to obtain a layer of negative electrode active material. This yielded the negative electrode sheet. The loading of the negative electrode active material on one side of the current collector was 0.007 g / cm³. 2 .
[0100] Deionized water is added to activated carbon and stirred until homogeneous. This mixture is then coated onto the negative electrode active material layer, dried to form the second material layer, and cold-pressed and slit to produce the positive electrode sheet. The specific surface area of the activated carbon is 200 m² / g. 2 / g, the volume average particle size DV50 of activated carbon is 5μm; the mass ratio of activated carbon to positive electrode active material is 1.1:100.
[0101] 1.3) Separation membrane.
[0102] A 12μm thick polypropylene film (16mm in diameter) was used as the separator.
[0103] 1.4) Electrolyte.
[0104] Ethylene carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and dimethyl carbonate were mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1:1. LiPF6 was then dissolved in this solution to obtain an electrolyte. The concentration of LiPF6 in this electrolyte was 1 mol / L.
[0105] 1.5) Assembly of lithium-ion secondary batteries.
[0106] The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode are stacked in sequence, with the separator positioned between the anode and cathode for isolation. These are then wound to obtain a bare cell. The bare cell is placed in outer packaging, injected with prepared electrolyte, and undergoes processes such as sealing, formation, and venting to obtain the battery.
[0107] The specific testing methods for the relevant parameters are as follows:
[0108] 2) Electrochemical performance testing.
[0109] 2.1) Initial discharge capacity test.
[0110] At 25°C, the lithium-ion secondary battery was charged at a constant current of 0.3C to a voltage of 4.9V, then charged at a constant voltage of 4.9V to a current of 0.05C. After resting for 5 minutes, the lithium-ion secondary battery was discharged at a constant current of 0.33C to a voltage of 3.0V. This discharge capacity is the first-cycle discharge capacity of the lithium-ion secondary battery. Dividing this capacity by the mass of the positive electrode active material in the lithium-ion secondary battery gives the initial discharge specific capacity of the positive electrode active material.
[0111] 2.2) High-temperature cycle performance test of lithium-ion secondary batteries.
[0112] At 45℃, the lithium-ion secondary battery is charged at a constant current of 0.5C to a voltage of 4.9V, then charged at a constant voltage of 4.9V to a current of 0.05C. After resting for 5 minutes, the lithium-ion secondary battery is discharged at a constant current of 0.5C to a voltage of 3.0V. This constitutes one charging cycle, and the discharge capacity of this cycle is the discharge capacity of the first cycle. After performing the cycle charging test in the above manner, the cycle ends when the discharge capacity decays to 80% of the initial capacity. The total number of cycles is the high-temperature cycle life.
[0113] 3) Manganese leaching test.
[0114] The lithium-ion secondary battery, after cycling and degradation to 80% of its initial capacity, was discharged to 2.8V. The battery was disassembled, the negative electrode was removed, and the negative electrode was soaked in DMC for 15 minutes. The negative electrode was then removed and dried. Approximately 2g of powder from the dried negative electrode was scraped off, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy was performed to determine the Mn mass content of the negative electrode.
[0115] 4) X-ray electron energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).
[0116] The electrode slices are placed on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) stage, and the samples are imaged under the electron beam generated by the electron gun to obtain the SEM microstructure of the samples.
[0117] After obtaining the SEM microstructure, the equipment is switched to scanning electron microscope X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mode, and a full-field scan is performed within a specific field of view. When the electron beam interacts with the sample, the atoms in the sample are excited, emitting specific characteristic X-rays that are received by the EDS detector, allowing for analysis of the elemental composition of the corresponding region.

[0120] Examples 2-12 are similar to Example 1, as detailed in Table 1.
[0121] Comparative Example 1
[0122] 1.1) Preparation of positive electrode sheet.
[0123] The positive electrode active material was mixed with conductive carbon black (Super P) and PVDF at a mass ratio of 96:2.5:1.5, and an appropriate amount of solvent N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) was added. The mixture was stirred until homogeneous to obtain a positive electrode slurry. The positive electrode slurry was coated onto aluminum foil, dried, cold-pressed, and slit to obtain positive electrode sheets. The loading of the positive electrode active material on the positive electrode sheet was 0.016 g / cm³. 2 In this embodiment, the positive electrode active material is LiNi. 0.5 Mn 1.5 O4. The loading of positive electrode active material on both sides of the positive electrode current collector is 0.017 g / cm³. 2 .
[0124] 1.2) Preparation of negative electrode sheet.
[0125] Artificial graphite (anode active material), carbon black (Super P) (conductive agent), styrene-butadiene rubber (binder), and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (thickener) were mixed thoroughly in an appropriate amount of deionized water at a mass ratio of 96:1:1:2 to form a uniform negative electrode slurry. This slurry was then uniformly coated onto the surface of a copper foil current collector, and dried to obtain a layer of negative electrode active material. This yielded the negative electrode sheet. The loading of the negative electrode active material on one side of the current collector was 0.007 g / cm³. 2 .
[0126] Everything else is the same as in Example 1.
[0127] Comparative Example 2
[0128] The difference from Example 1 is that the mass ratio of the first substance to the manganese-containing positive electrode active material is 0.05:100, and the mass ratio of the second substance to the manganese-containing positive electrode active material is 0.05:100. Everything else is the same as in Example 1.
[0129]
[0130] Based on Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the lithium-ion secondary batteries of Examples 1-12 of this application have an initial discharge specific capacity of 102 mAh / g, which is a relatively good initial discharge specific capacity. The lithium-ion secondary batteries of Examples 1-12 of this application have 102-284 cycles when cycling to 80% of their initial capacity at 45°C. Compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the number of cycles when cycling to 80% of their initial capacity at 45°C is increased for the lithium-ion secondary batteries of Examples 1-12 of this application. This indicates that by setting a first material layer and / or a second material layer, and controlling the mass ratio of the first material to the manganese-containing positive electrode active material to (1.1-15):100 and the mass ratio of the second material to the manganese-containing positive electrode active material to (1.1-15):100, the high-temperature cycle life of the lithium-ion secondary batteries can be improved. When the lithium-ion batteries of Examples 1 to 12 of this application are cycled to 80% of their initial capacity, the amount of Mn dissolved on the negative electrode side is 90ppm to 902ppm based on the total mass of the negative electrode active material layer. Compared with 970ppm and 1002ppm of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the amount of Mn dissolved on the negative electrode side of Examples 1 to 12 of this application is significantly reduced.
