[0038] The positive electrode plays a crucial role in lithium-ion batteries. Its microstructure influences performance characteristics such as internal resistance, rate capability, and cycle life. Layered transition metal oxides typically possess high capacity and high rate capability, but they still face numerous challenges in practical applications. These include the material's sensitivity to moisture and its susceptibility to lattice oxygen loss and release under high temperature and long-cycle conditions, posing safety risks. Furthermore, residual alkaline compounds on their surface can cause processing difficulties and lead to the formation of undesirable interface layers, resulting in performance degradation during long-term cycling.
[0039] This application provides a positive electrode sheet, comprising a positive current collector and a positive electrode material layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector.

[0040] Active metal ions (e.g., Li) + Na +In secondary batteries, interfacial migration of active metal ions requires the removal of coordinating solvents. This process necessitates overcoming a high energy barrier of 50 kJ / mol to 70 kJ / mol for interfacial charge transfer. Therefore, compared to bulk transport within the electrodes and electrolyte, desolvation is generally considered the main energy-consuming step in the transport of active metal ions. The inventors of this application have discovered that a metal-organic framework (MOF) material doped with metal elements can compensate for the loss of active lithium due to SEI film formation during the initial charge-discharge cycle. During the charge-discharge cycle of the secondary battery, solvated ions in the electrolyte traverse the active material layer of the positive electrode. Under the confinement effect of the nanopores, the ions undergo a gradient desolvation process. Compared to one-step desolvation at the positive and negative electrode surfaces, this gradient desolvation process requires overcoming a lower energy barrier, improving the initial coulombic efficiency and specific capacity. Simultaneously, the abundant polar groups on the surface of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements have a high affinity for the electrolyte, and the porous structure allows for rapid electrolyte conduction, facilitating the wetting of the positive electrode by the electrolyte.
[0041] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline framework materials with intramolecular pores formed by the self-assembly of metal ions or clusters with organic ligands under certain conditions through coordination bonds. Compared with other nanomaterials, MOFs have advantages such as larger specific surface area, tunable pore size and shape, and ease of doping. Activated MOFs can be used as additives for positive electrode sheets to enhance the transport of active metal ions by enabling the interaction between the electrolyte and unsaturated open metal sites, thereby reducing the interfacial resistance of the positive electrode sheet. In addition, monodisperse metals have advantages such as high atom utilization, uniform site structure, and maximized metal-carrier interface, which can provide high-quality active sites for MOFs. Therefore, this application, by loading metal elements into MOFs, endows them with superior conductivity, specific surface area, porosity, chemical tunability, active site abundance, pore structure, and sustained-release molecular ability. Using MOFs within the scope of this application, after loading with metal elements, is beneficial to improving the rate of cross-interfacial transport of active metal ions, thereby improving the high-temperature performance, cycle performance, and safety performance of secondary batteries.
[0042] In this application, metal doping does not destroy the crystal structure of the metal-organic framework material. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a metal-organic framework material doped with a metal element (with metal element M represented by Li, dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand molecular framework of phenyl, and counterion of NO3). -(For example), where 1 is a dicarboxylate conjugated organic ligand, 2 is an oxygen atom, 3 is a zirconium atom, 4 is a nitrogen atom, and 5 is a lithium atom. If no ligand is present, it indicates the absence of dicarboxylate conjugated organic ligand 1, resulting in an unsaturated coordination defect. Metal-doped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) consist of zirconium atoms, oxygen atoms, dicarboxylate conjugated organic ligands, a metal element M, and counterions. The zirconium atoms, oxygen atoms, dicarboxylate conjugated organic ligands, and metal element M are connected by coordination bonds, while the counterions and small molecule ligands are weakly bonded to the metal framework through non-covalent interactions. Specifically, a single metal-doped MOF contains six zirconium atoms within its unit cell. These six zirconium atoms form octahedral zirconium-oxygen cluster nodes by bonding with bridging oxygen and bridging hydroxyl groups. Simultaneously, zirconium oxide clusters coordinate with dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligands to form an overall framework structure. In a defect-free perfect crystal, each metal-doped metal-organic framework material unit cell can coordinate with 12 dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligands, meaning each metal-doped metal-organic framework material unit cell can contain 6 dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligands. If the chemical bond to be coordinated on a zirconium atom does not coordinate with a dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand, a defect is formed. The missing organic ligand is replaced by a solvent or template agent, i.e., a small molecule ligand (sol). If the missing organic ligand is not occupied by any molecule / ion, it becomes a ligand vacancy (blank). To make the charge properties of the unsaturated coordination defect electrically neutral, an antiion with the same number of charges, i.e., a counterion, needs to be introduced at the ligand-deficient site. Kinetic simulation (MD) shows that during the synthesis of metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements, the metal element M is anchored near the defect sites of the metal-organic framework material and coordinated with the oxygen / carbon in the metal-organic framework material. At the same time, in order to conserve charge, counterions also participate in the stabilization of the metal element M, so that the metal element M exists in the coordination structure of M-O3C. One oxygen atom and carbon atom come from the organic ligand, and the other two oxygen atoms come from nitrate.
[0043] In this application, the metal element-doped metal-organic framework (MOF) material is a compound containing a metal element, where the metal element is doped into the crystal structure of the MOF material. That is, the metal element is chemically modified into the crystal structure of the MOF material, and its crystal structure changes after doping. The metal element-doped MOF material provided in this application differs from physically adsorbing a metal element into the MOF material. If a metal element is physically adsorbed into the MOF material, during the charging and discharging process of the secondary battery, the physically adsorbed metal element will detach from the pores of the MOF material. As the electric field diffuses to the electrode interface, it can catalyze side reactions such as gas production, affecting the electrochemical performance of the secondary battery. The metal element-doped MOF material provided in this application also differs from physically mixing a metal compound with the MOF material. In physical mixing, the contact between the metal compound (such as oxides or nanoparticles) and the MOF material crystal is only a macroscopic interface, and molecular-scale bonding or electronic coupling cannot be formed. There is obvious phase separation between the two phases, and it is difficult for them to have molecular size coordination, which is not conducive to the transport of active metal ions between the two phases, thus hindering the improvement of the fast charging performance of the secondary battery.
[0044] The positive electrode of this application includes metal-organic framework (MOF) materials doped with metal elements within the aforementioned scope. On one hand, the porous structure of the metal-doped MOF facilitates the removal of active metal ions from the outer weak coordination solvent. On the other hand, the metal doping sites in the metal-doped MOF promote the dissociation of active metal ions from the inner strong coordination solvent. This "assembly line" synergistic desolvation mechanism improves the rate of cross-interface transport of active metal ions and enhances the cycle performance of the secondary battery. Simultaneously, the abundant polar groups on the surface of the metal-doped MOF have high affinity for the electrolyte, and the porous structure allows for rapid electrolyte conduction, facilitating electrolyte wetting of the positive electrode. Furthermore, the pores in the MOF effectively solve the processing problems caused by residual alkali on the surface of layered transition metal oxides, thereby improving battery performance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can slowly release acidic template agents adsorbed within their pores, neutralizing residual alkali on the surface of layered transition metal oxides under mild conditions. This effectively prevents slurry degradation caused by residual alkali and also prevents the increase in impedance and decrease in electrochemical performance caused by the residual alkali itself. Simultaneously, MOFs significantly inhibit the diffusion of transition metal ions into the battery cell and effectively capture free moisture and evolved oxygen, improving cycle life, high-temperature stability, and battery safety. Furthermore, the addition of additives facilitates the formation of an inert protective layer on the positive electrode surface, blocking side reactions between the electrolyte and active materials, reducing transition metal dissolution, inhibiting lattice oxygen evolution at high temperatures, reducing phase transitions and microcracks, and suppressing grain boundary cracking and electrolyte penetration at high temperatures. The porous structure of these additives, with 8 Å pores arranged in an orderly manner within the framework, effectively captures free moisture in the battery cell, reduces the formation of acidic fluorides, improves cycle life, enhances high-temperature stability, and ultimately improves battery safety.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand comprises a molecular skeleton, which includes any one of phenyl, pyridyl, and imidazole groups. When the molecular skeleton of the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand includes imidazole and pyridyl groups, the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand skeleton itself contains heteroatoms, which is beneficial for regulating the polarity of the pore walls of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements. This enhances the interaction between the pore walls and ions, solvents, and anions in the electrolyte, promotes the dissociation of these three components within the pores, and thus improves the ion migration efficiency.
[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the molecular skeleton is phenyl, and the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand includes a functional group X, which includes any one of amino, hydroxyl, mercapto, methoxy, nitro, fluorine, and chlorine groups. Introducing functional group X into metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements, and controlling the type of functional group X within the scope of this application, is beneficial for regulating the polarity of the pore walls of the metal-doped metal-organic framework materials, thereby enhancing the interaction between the pore walls and ions, solvents, and anions in the electrolyte, promoting the dissociation of these three components within the pores, and thus improving ion migration efficiency.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the dicarboxylate conjugated organic ligand is selected from terephthalate.
[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand comprises any one of the following substances:
[0049] (1) When the functional group X is an amino group, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2-aminoterephthalate, 2,5-diaminoterephthalate, 2,3-diaminoterephthalate, 2,3,5-triaminoterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetraaminoterephthalate.
[0050] (2) When the functional group X is a hydroxyl group, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2-hydroxyterephthalate, 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate, 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate, 2,3,5-trihydroxyterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyterephthalate;
[0051] (3) When the functional group X is a thiol group, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2-mercaptoterephthalate, 2,5-dimercaptoterephthalate, 2,3-dimercaptoterephthalate, 2,3,5-trimercaptoterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetramercaptoterephthalate;
[0052] (4) When the functional group X is methoxy, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2-methoxyterephthalate, 2,5-dimethoxyterephthalate, 2,3-dimethoxyterephthalate, 2,3,5-trimethoxyterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetramethoxyterephthalate;
[0053] (5) When the functional group X is a nitro group, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2-nitroterephthalate, 2,5-dinitroterephthalate, 2,3-dinitroterephthalate, 2,3,5-trinitroterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetranitroterephthalate;
[0054] (6) When the functional group X is a fluorine group, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2,5-dicarboxyfluorobenzoate, 2,5-difluoroterephthalate, 2,3-difluoroterephthalate, 2,3,5-trifluoroterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetrafluoroterephthalate;
[0055] (7) When the functional group X is a chlorine group, the dicarboxylic conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2,5-dicarboxychlorophthalate, 2,5-dichloroterephthalate, 2,3-dichloroterephthalate, 2,3,5-trichloroterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetrachloroterephthalate.
[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the molecular skeleton comprises either a pyridyl group or an imidazole group, and the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand comprises at least one of the following substances:
[0057] (1) When the molecular skeleton is selected from pyridinyl, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand is selected from 2,5-pyridinic acid dicarboxylate;
[0058] (2) When the molecular skeleton is selected from imidazole, the dicarboxylic conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 1H-imidazol-2,4-dicarboxylate and imidazol-4,5-dicarboxylate.
[0059] In this application, functional group X influences the steric hindrance of the metal-organic framework material. Simultaneously, functional group X itself acts as an active site for Lewis acids or bases, altering the affinity of the pores for ions, solvents, and anions in the electrolyte. Furthermore, functional group X is electronegative, affecting the electronic structure at the nodes; electron-withdrawing groups enhance the Lewis acidity of the nodes, and vice versa. Within the scope of this application, suitable functional groups and dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligands can be selected according to actual application requirements to achieve optimal electronic and spatial structures, thereby improving the stability of the secondary battery at high temperatures and its safety performance.
[0060] Zirconium-oxygen cluster nodes in UiO series metal-organic frameworks are typically represented as Zr6O4(OH)4 (i.e., m=4, n=4), a designation widely accepted in the industry. However, during post-processing such as heating and vacuum treatment, the hydroxyl groups at the zirconium-oxygen cluster nodes may dehydrate and partially detach, potentially forming a Zr6O6 structure in extreme cases. Due to limitations in current characterization techniques, the hydroxyl content at the zirconium-oxygen cluster nodes cannot be precisely quantified. Therefore, in this application, the molecular formula of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material is expressed as "M". a Zr6O m (OH) n (OL) 6(x+y) / 2 (sol) x (blank)y N b ", where 0≤a≤2.3, 4≤m≤6, 0≤n≤4, 0.09≤x≤0.92, 1.8≤y≤6.02, 0.905≤b≤9.24. The role of the counter ion N is to achieve a balance in the charge of the cation framework caused by defects.
[0061] In this application, sol refers to the small molecule ligand, and blank refers to the ligand vacancy appearing around Zr. The small molecule ligand in this application is derived from the template agent, and may be replaced by polar molecules such as the template agent, water, and solvent, depending on the preparation conditions. This application does not specifically limit the polar molecules, as long as they achieve the purpose of this application.
[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the molar ratio of Zr to OL in the cathode material layer is 6:(2.53~5.055), preferably 6:(2.769~4.95), or more preferably 6:(2.769~4.295), or more preferably 6:(2.769~3.69). For example, in metal-organic framework materials, the molar ratio of Zr to OL can be 6:2.53, 6:2.769, 6:3, 6:3.5, 6:3.69, 6:4, 6:4.295, 6:4.5, 6:4.95, 6:5, 6:5.055, or a range of any two of these values. In metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements, the molar ratio of Zr to OL actually reflects the total defect rate of the material. Theoretically, the total defect rate = 1 - n(OL) / n(Zr). Controlling the molar ratio of Zr to OL within the range specified in this application helps ensure that the defect rate is within a suitable range. This promotes the removal of coordination solvents from active metal ions, increases the rate of cross-interface transport of active metal ions, improves the fast-charging performance, cycle performance, and low-temperature performance of secondary batteries, and helps to increase the energy density of secondary batteries.
[0063] In some embodiments of this application, thermogravimetric analysis is used to test the total defect rate of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material, which is 20% to 53.5%, preferably 30.6% to 53.5%, or more preferably 40% to 53.5%. For example, the total defect rate of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material can be 20%, 22%, 25%, 29%, 29.6%, 30.6%, 32%, 34%, 36%, 38%, 40%, 42%, 45%, 47%, 49%, 50%, 53.5%, or a range of any two of these values. Defects in MOF materials possess unique spatial structures and electronic properties, providing active sites for chemical reactions. The presence of defects can reduce steric hindrance and enhance diffusion within the bulk phase; on the other hand, they can also serve as active sites, promoting desolvation processes and effectively removing byproducts. The total defect rate refers to the ratio of the number of defects present in the metal-organic framework material structure to the number of corresponding linked ligands in the theoretically intact structure. Organic ligand defects arise when ligands fail to fully connect with metal nodes or when their structure (e.g., length, functional groups, molecular skeleton) is altered. For example, in a metal-organic framework material using terephthalic acid as a ligand, terephthalic acid may be partially missing or replaced by solvents and template agents, resulting in organic ligand defects. These defects are Lewis acid sites, which facilitate in-situ capture of dissolved metals in layered transition metal oxide materials, reducing catalytic side reactions. By controlling the total defect rate within the range specified in this application, the removal of coordination solvents from active metal ions can be promoted, increasing the rate of cross-interface transport of active metal ions, improving battery cycle life, and simultaneously enhancing battery stability and safety at high temperatures.
[0064] In some embodiments of this application, solid-state NMR phosphorus spectroscopy is used for testing. The unsaturated coordination defect rate of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material is 15%~50.1%, preferably 22.1%~50.1%, or more preferably 27.5%~50.1%, or more preferably 37%~50.1%. For example, the unsaturated coordination defect rate of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material can be 15%, 18%, 20%, 22.1%, 25%, 26.1%, 27.5%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 32%, 35%, 37%, 38%, 40%, 42%, 45%, 48%, 49%, 50.1%, or a range of any two of these values. Unsaturated coordination defects refer to defect structures caused by the absence of dicarboxyl conjugated organic ligands. Compared with other types of defects, unsaturated coordination defects have higher activity; exposed unsaturated metal sites have lower steric hindrance and higher site accessibility, which enables them to effectively adsorb and activate catalytic substrate molecules. Furthermore, unsaturated coordination sites typically possess lower metallic valence states, resulting in a charge distribution within the material and a charge transfer pathway with the substrate that differs significantly from saturated coordination structures. This unique charge distribution and transfer pathway are more conducive to molecular activation and electron migration, thereby enhancing the material's relevant application performance. It facilitates in-situ capture of dissolved metals in layered transition metal oxide materials, reducing catalytic side reactions, improving battery stability at high temperatures, and increasing the rate of cross-interface transport of active metal ions in secondary batteries, thus improving the safety and cycle performance of secondary batteries.
[0065] In one embodiment of this application, based on the amount of the metal-organic framework material doped with the metal element, the molar content of the metal element is from 0.01 mol / mol to 2.3 mol / mol, preferably from 0.1 mol / mol to 2.3 mol / mol. For example, based on the amount of the metal-organic framework material doped with the metal element, the molar content of the metal element can be 0.01 mol / mol, 0.05 mol / mol, 0.08 mol / mol, 0.1 mol / mol, 0.3 mol / mol, 0.5 mol / mol, 0.8 mol / mol, 1 mol / mol, 1.3 mol / mol, 1.5 mol / mol, 1.8 mol / mol, 2 mol / mol, 2.3 mol / mol, or a range consisting of any two of these values. Based on the molar content of the metal-doped metal-organic framework (MOF), if the molar content of the metal element is too high, some of the metal element will be adsorbed into the pores of the MOF via physical adsorption. During the charging and discharging process of the secondary battery, these metal elements will detach from the pores of the MOF and diffuse to the electrode interface with the electric field, catalyzing side reactions such as gas production, thus affecting the electrochemical performance of the secondary battery. Conversely, if the molar content of the metal element in the MOF is too low, it indicates that the metal element loading in the MOF is insufficient. The active lithium in the battery will be chemically adsorbed and bound within the framework, leading to the loss of active lithium and affecting the capacity utilization of the secondary battery.
[0066] In one embodiment of this application, the layered transition metal oxide includes at least one of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, lithium-rich manganese-based materials, sodium copper iron manganese oxide, sodium iron nickel manganese oxide, and sodium iron manganese oxide.

Pyridine dicarboxylate ions include 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylate ions. Metal-organic framework materials including dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligands within the above-mentioned range are beneficial for further modulating the polarity of the pore walls of the metal-organic framework material, thereby facilitating in-situ capture of dissolved metals in layered transition metal oxide materials, reducing catalytic side reactions, and improving the stability of the battery at high temperatures.

Based on their charge characteristics, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be classified into cationic frameworks, anionic frameworks, and neutral frameworks. Counterions are weakly bound to MOFs through non-covalent interactions and are essential for maintaining the charge neutrality of MOF materials. In this application, the MOF material consists of a cationic framework and counterions. For the cationic framework of the MOF material in this application, the counterions can originate from the MOF material preparation process or from the loading process of metal element M. The role of the counterions is to balance the charge of the cationic framework caused by defects. In secondary batteries, the counterions in the MOF material can dissolve and replace other ions with the same charge in the electrolyte, such as TFSI. - FSI - PF6 - Counterions can affect the formation of the negative electrode film. The resulting solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film is more conducive to ion transport, thereby improving the charge transfer at the interface and enhancing the fast-charging and cycle performance of the secondary battery. At the same time, the SEI film also has higher thermal stability, which can resist the SEI film rupture process during thermal runaway.

For example, the mass percentage of the dehydrating agent can be 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, or a range consisting of any two of these values. The positive electrode includes the dehydrating agent within the scope of this application, and the mass percentage of the dehydrating agent is controlled within the scope of this application. It can effectively remove moisture, ensure the stability and performance of the material, thereby reducing the obstruction of moisture to electron transport and ion migration, and at the same time reducing the internal side reactions of the battery, so that the battery can still maintain a high capacity retention rate after multiple cycles.

[0072] In this application, since the metal-doped metal-organic framework material uses raw materials such as solvents and template agents in the preparation process, the prepared metal-doped metal-organic framework material also includes other adsorbed components, which include adsorbed solvents and / or adsorbed template agents; this application does not specifically limit the types and contents of other adsorbed components.
[0073] Generally, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be classified into cationic frameworks, anionic frameworks, and neutral frameworks based on their charge characteristics. In some embodiments of this application, the metal-doped MOF consists of a doped metal, a cationic framework, and an in-pore adsorbent component. The doped metal includes at least one of Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Co, Ni, Fe, Cr, Zn, and Mn. The cationic framework refers to a framework exhibiting cationic properties. The in-pore adsorbent component includes counter ions, which are weakly bound to the metal framework through non-covalent interactions and are essential for maintaining the charge neutrality of the MOF. For the cationic framework in the metal-doped MOF, the counter ion is PO4. 3- NO3 - Cl -SO4 2- ,Br - acetylacetone and F - Counterions. In this application, for the cationic framework of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material, the counterions can originate from the preparation process of the metal-organic framework material or from the loading process of the metal element. The metal-doped metal-organic framework material includes the counterions of this application, which can dissolve and replace other ions with the same charge in the electrolyte, such as TFSI. - FSI - PF6 - Counterions can affect the formation of the negative electrode film. The solid electrolyte interface film formed is more conducive to ion transport, thereby improving the charge transfer at the interface and improving the fast charging performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery.
[0074] In some embodiments of this application, the average particle size of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material is 20 nm to 110 nm, preferably 64 nm to 80 nm. For example, the average particle size of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material can be 20 nm, 25 nm, 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 64 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm, 105 nm, 110 nm, or any combination of two of these values. By controlling the average particle size of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material within the above range, it is beneficial to increase the surface exchange sites per unit mass of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material, which is beneficial to promote the removal of coordination solvents by active metal ions, improve the rate of cross-interface transport of active metal ions, and improve the cycle performance of the secondary battery. When the particle size of a material is too large, the bulk diffusion paths of its ions / molecules increase significantly, resulting in slow mass transfer kinetics; simultaneously, the specific surface area decreases sharply, leading to an insufficient number of effective surface reaction sites. Both of these factors jointly limit the material's performance. Correspondingly, larger particle sizes usually mean higher crystallinity and a more complete structure, thus resulting in a lower total defect rate, especially a scarcity of highly reactive unsaturated coordination defects. When the particle size is too small, on the one hand, the surface energy is too high, making agglomeration highly likely, which reduces the effective surface area; on the other hand, excessively high defect density (especially a large number of unsaturated coordination defects) may disrupt the long-range ordered structure of the material, leading to decreased structural stability and potentially inducing the continuous occurrence of side reactions. Therefore, while small particle size significantly increases both the total defect rate and the unsaturated coordination defect rate, it also introduces the risks of agglomeration and structural instability.

The inclusion of diffraction peaks on the (200) and (111) crystal planes in the XRD pattern of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material indicates that the metal-doped metal-organic framework material used in this application has a good crystal structure.

[0099] The embodiments and comparative examples provided below illustrate the implementation of this application in more detail. Various tests and evaluations were conducted according to the methods described below. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, "parts" and "%" are quality standards.
[0100] Test methods and equipment:
[0101] Molar content test of metal elements in metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements:
[0102] The contents of Zr and M in the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements were determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The molar ratio of M to Zr in the metal-organic framework material was calculated and denoted as c. Based on the amount of substance of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material, the molar content of the metal element is represented by a, where a = 6c.
[0103] Specific procedures: Digest with BVIII grade nitric acid. Add 20 mg of sample and 15 mL of nitric acid to a polytetrafluoroethylene beaker. Heat at 80°C for 20 min. After the solvent has evaporated and about 2 mL remains, add 15 mL of nitric acid and continue heating for 20 min. Repeat adding nitric acid until the solid is completely dissolved and the residual liquid is clear and transparent. Start removing the acid, dilute with ultrapure water, and inject the sample.
[0104] Test of the number of counterions (b) in metal-organic frameworks doped with metal elements:
[0105] 25 mg of metal-doped metal-organic framework material was added to 5 mL of 1 mol / L NaOH solution. The sample was then subjected to ion chromatography (model: Dionex-7680) to determine the type and concentration (mass fraction) of counterions in the sample solution. The mass fraction of the counterion is denoted as W(N), and the molar mass of the counterion is denoted as M(N).
[0106] The mass fraction of Zr in the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements was determined to be W(Zr), and the molar mass of Zr was determined to be M(Zr) using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The molecular formula of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements is M. a Zr6O m (OH) n (OL) 6-(x+y) / 2 (sol) x (blank) y N b middle, .
[0107] Testing the total defect rate Z of metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements:
[0108] The total defect rate of metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements was tested using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in a temperature range of 50℃-600℃, a heating rate of 3℃ / min, and an air atmosphere.
[0109] The results were processed as follows: The mass of the remaining material (zirconia-M) from the TGA test at 600℃ was used as a baseline, and normalization was performed, recorded as 100%. Under ideal conditions, in defect-free metal-organic framework materials, the chemical formula of the metal-organic framework material at 350°C is M. a O a / 2 Zr6O6(OL)6, the corresponding standardized weight is N (%), N (%) = MA (M a O a / 2 Zr6O6(OL)6) / MA(6ZrO2+Li a O a / 2 )×100%, where MA(M a O a / 2 Zr6O6(OL)6) represents 1 mol M a O a / 2 The mass of Zr6O6(OL)6, MA(6ZrO2+M a O a / 2 () represents 6 mol ZrO2 and 1 mol M a O a / 2 The sum of the masses. At 350°C, the normalized weight of the metal-organic framework material doped with defective metal elements is less than N (%), indicating insufficient OL connectors within the metal-organic framework material doped with defective metal elements. The total defect rate is calculated using the formula: Where w% (350℃) is the standardized weight of metal-organic framework material with defects at 350℃, i.e., w% (350℃) = weight of remaining material at test temperature of 350℃ / weight of remaining material at test temperature of 600℃, and Z is the total defect rate of metal-organic framework material with metal elements.
[0110] Testing of the unsaturated coordination defect rate K of metal-organic frameworks doped with metal elements:
[0111] The unsaturated coordination defect rate (K) of metal-doped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) was measured using solid-state phosphorus NMR spectroscopy. The metal-doped MOFs were activated under vacuum at 150 °C for 4 h. 100 mg of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxo radical (TMPO) was dissolved in 15 mL of dichloromethane to obtain a TMPO solution. 50 mg of the activated metal-doped MOFs were added to the TMPO solution and immersed for 1 h. Defects in the metal-doped MOFs were labeled and identified using TMPO. The total defect rate and unsaturated coordination defect rate of the metal-doped MOFs were measured using a Bruker AvanceNEO 600 MHz NMR spectrometer. A 3.2 mm MAS probe was used, with a rotation speed of 15 or 18 kHz. 31 The P signal was calibrated using the NH4H2PO4 signal. Peak fitting was performed on the data between 1 and 100 using Origin, and the fitted R value was... 2 ≥99.8%. The peaks near chemical shifts 62, 58, 55, and 53 are identified as Zr-blank, μ-OH(OL), μ-OH(sol), and Zr-sol sites, respectively. Zr-blank represents unsaturated coordination defects; μ-OH(OL) represents bridged hydroxyl groups adjacent to OL organic ligands; μ-OH(sol) represents bridged hydroxyl groups adjacent to coordination defects in small molecules; and Zr-sol represents coordination defects in small molecules. The relative proportions of the corresponding species can be obtained based on the peak area percentages.

After stirring, pass it through a 200-mesh sieve to separate the aluminum sheet and the solution. After drying the solution at 120℃ to constant weight, grind it into fine powder. Take a sample weighing between 1 and 2 g. Considering the volume of the digestion vessel (the amount of sample added and acid added are limited), accurately weigh the sample and record its weight m. Divide the sample into 10 portions (record the weight of each of the 10 portions; the largest portion is used for the control vessel), cut them into small pieces, and place them into 10 digestion vessels. Add 6 mL of concentrated nitric acid and 1 mL of 30% H₂O₂ solution to each of the 10 digestion vessels. Heat at 140℃ for 0.5 h, then remove the heater. Add another 3 mL of 30% H₂O₂ solution to each digestion vessel. After cooling to approximately room temperature (or when it is not hot to the touch; the digestion vessels can be shaken appropriately during this period), add another 3 mL of concentrated nitric acid. Assemble the digestion apparatus and digest the sample according to the specific program. After digestion, combine the results in a 500 mL volumetric flask (PP material) and dilute to volume with ultrapure water.

The specific steps are as follows: First, the negative / positive electrode material layer of the secondary battery was separated from the electrode sheet. Then, the mass of the positive / negative electrode material layer was weighed using a balance. Next, the area of the positive active material layer on the positive / negative electrode sheet was measured using vernier calipers.

After standing for 30 minutes, it was discharged at a constant current of 2.5C to 2.8V and left to stand for 30 minutes. This constitutes one charge-discharge cycle. The initial discharge capacity was recorded as C1. This charge-discharge cycle was repeated 1000 times, and the discharge capacity C1 of the 1000th cycle was recorded. 1000 High-temperature cycling capacity retention rate = (C 1000 / C1)×100%.
[0136] Heat release test:

[0189] In Table 2, based on the total mass of the cathode material layer, the mass percentage of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements is represented as "W1", the mass percentage of the cathode active material is represented as "W2", the mass percentage of the conductive agent is represented as "W3", the mass percentage of the binder is represented as "W4", and the mass percentage of the dispersant is represented as "W5".
[0190] As can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-19 and Comparative Example 1, the positive electrode sheets in each embodiment of this application include metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements within the scope of this application. The prepared positive electrode sheets have high conductivity, and the secondary batteries assembled from the positive electrode sheets have high specific capacity, high-temperature cycle capacity retention, high-temperature stability, and safety. In Comparative Example 1, the positive electrode sheet prepared without using metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements (by replacing the metal-organic framework with an equal mass of the positive electrode active material NCM811) has lower conductivity, lower specific capacity and high-temperature cycle capacity retention in the secondary battery, and higher heat generation.
[0191] The total defect rate, unsaturated coordination defect rate, and average particle size of metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements affect the conductivity of the positive electrode and the specific capacity, high-temperature cycle capacity retention, and high-temperature stability of the secondary battery. As can be seen from Examples 1-8 to 1-19, when the total defect rate, unsaturated coordination defect rate, and average particle size of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements are within the range of this application, the prepared positive electrode exhibits higher conductivity, and the secondary battery exhibits higher specific capacity, higher high-temperature cycle capacity retention, and better high-temperature stability.
[0192] from Figure 1 It can be seen that the XRD patterns of the metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements in Examples 1-1, 1-2, and 1-4 include diffraction peaks of the (200) and (111) crystal planes. The black vertical line in the lower part of the figure (XRD standard card) is the diffraction peak simulated based on UiO-66 single crystal, which includes diffraction peaks of the (200) and (111) crystal planes. The fact that the XRD patterns of the metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements include diffraction peaks of the (200) and (111) crystal planes indicates, on the one hand, that the metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements used in this application still maintain a good crystal structure; on the other hand, it can be shown that the metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements used in this application have a porous structure, with 8 Å pores arranged in an orderly manner in the framework. The XRD patterns of the metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements in the positive electrode sheets in Examples 1-1 to 1-19 of this application all include diffraction peaks of the (200) and (111) crystal planes.
[0193] The types and mass percentages of each component in the positive electrode sheet affect the conductivity of the positive electrode sheet and the performance of the secondary battery. As can be seen from Examples 2-1 to 2-8, when the mass percentage of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements in the positive electrode sheet is within the range of this application, the prepared positive electrode sheet has high conductivity, and the secondary battery has high specific capacity, high high-temperature cycle capacity retention rate, and good high-temperature stability.
[0194] As can be seen from Examples 2-11 to 2-12, the areal density and compaction density of the positive electrode material layer on the positive electrode sheet are within the range of this application. The prepared positive electrode sheet has high conductivity, and the secondary battery has high specific capacity and high-temperature cycle capacity retention rate, and low high-temperature heat release.
[0195] As can be seen from Examples 2-1 to 2-18 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-4, the positive electrode active material is prepared by combining layered metal transition metal oxides such as lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, sodium iron nickel manganese oxide, nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, and lithium cobalt oxide with metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements. The resulting positive electrode sheet has higher conductivity, and the secondary battery has higher specific capacity and high-temperature cycle capacity retention rate, while also taking into account better stability and safety performance at high temperatures.
[0196] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
