Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy technology, specifically relating to a secondary battery and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the emergence of high-energy batteries, on the one hand, the capacity of lithium-ion batteries has increased and the energy density has generally improved; on the other hand, higher requirements have been placed on the safety of lithium-ion batteries, especially on the performance of lithium-ion battery separators.

[0003] Lithium-ion batteries release a significant amount of heat during charging, discharging, or short circuits, causing localized heat buildup and temperature increases, which can lead to explosions in severe cases. The lithium-ion battery separator, as a crucial material for isolating the positive and negative electrodes, must first and foremost function to thermally shut off in the event of thermal runaway, preventing further ion exchange between the electrodes. Secondly, it must remain intact at high temperatures to maintain its insulating properties and prevent short circuits caused by electrode deformation due to temperature increases.

[0004] Traditional polyolefin separators have a low heat distortion temperature, and the separator melts or deforms at around 160°C, which affects the safety of battery use. Existing ceramic-coated separators, due to the surface coating of inorganic materials such as alumina, can only increase the membrane breaking temperature to 170°C~180°C, which still cannot meet the needs of the rapid development of lithium-ion battery technology.

Furthermore, it is also preferable that specific transition metals do not exceed half. Examples of such compounds include Li. α Ni β Co γ Mn δ O2 (0 < α ≤ 1.2, preferably 1 ≤ α ≤ 1.2, α + β + γ + δ = 2, 0.2 ≤ β ≤ 0.5, 0.1 ≤ γ ≤ 0.4 and 0.1 ≤ δ ≤ 0.4).

[0032] Furthermore, two or more compounds represented by Formula A2 can be mixed and used. For example, it is also preferable to mix and use NCM532 or NCM523 and NCM433 in the range of 9:1 to 1:9. In addition, by mixing materials in which the Ni content in Formula A2 is high (x is 0.4 or less) and materials in which the Ni content in Formula A2 is no more than 0.5 (x is 0.5 or more, such as NCM433), it is also possible to form a battery with high capacity and high thermal stability.

When using an aqueous binder such as an SBR emulsion, a thickener such as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) can also be used. By mixing two or more, the positive electrode binder can be used. From the viewpoint of the trade - off relationship between "sufficient binding force" and "high energy density", based on 100 parts by mass of the positive electrode active material, the amount of the positive electrode binder is preferably 2 to 10 parts by mass.

[0035] For the purpose of reducing impedance, a conductive additive can be added to the coating containing the positive electrode active material. Examples of the conductive additive include flaky or fibrous carbonaceous fine particles such as graphite, carbon black, acetylene black, and vapor - grown carbon fiber.

[0064] The binder improves the bonding characteristics between the negative electrode active material particles and the bonding characteristics between the negative electrode active material and the current collector. The binder may include one or more of the following: polyvinyl chloride, carboxylated polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide-imide, and polyimide. The binder may also include rubber-based binders and / or polymer resin binders.

[0066] diaphragm

[0067] The separator for secondary batteries of the present invention has a porous substrate and an insulating layer disposed on at least one surface of the porous substrate.

[0068] Porous substrates can be porous components made of organic materials. Examples of porous substrates include microporous membranes or nonwoven fabrics containing polyolefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, aromatic polyamide resins, etc. Due to their excellent strength, microporous membranes containing polyethylene are preferred.

[0069] In some embodiments, the insulating layer comprises polymer particles with a melting point of 75°C to 138°C and an average particle size of less than 2 micrometers, a binder, and optional inorganic particles. The polymer particles can melt into the pores of the porous substrate during thermal runaway of the battery to block ion conduction, thereby preventing internal short circuits and significantly improving the battery's safety performance.

[0070] Examples of polymer particles include non-conductive thermoplastic resin particles. The polymer particles may be made of at least one of the following: homopolymers of non-fluorinated alkenyl monomers, homopolymers of olefin monomers, homopolymers of unsaturated nitrile monomers, homopolymers of acrylic acid monomers, and homopolymers of ester monomers.

For example, the polymer particles may include at least one of polyethylene wax, oxidized polyethylene wax, polypropylene wax, oxidized polypropylene wax, Fischer-Tropsch wax, paraffin wax, modified paraffin wax, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and oxidized high-density polyethylene.

[0071] Polymer particles can be used alone or in combination of two or more as needed.

[0072] From the viewpoint of improving battery performance, the average particle size of the polymer particles is preferably 0.2 to 2 micrometers, more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 micrometers. Within this range, the insulating layer can be uniformly formed on the porous substrate. If the average particle size of the polymer particles is too large, it will be difficult to embed them into the porous substrate.

[0073] From the perspective of improving battery safety, the melting point of polymer particles is 75℃~138℃, preferably 85℃~128℃. If the melting point of the polymer particles is too low, it will affect the battery's high-temperature performance. For example, during charging and discharging, the particles may melt and embed into the substrate, blocking pores and hindering lithium-ion conduction. If the melting point of the polymer particles is too high, it will affect the battery's safety performance. For example, if the internal temperature of the battery reaches above 138℃, the separator substrate may shrink, causing an internal short circuit. At this point, the polymer has not yet melted and cannot play its blocking role.

[0074] Examples of binders include carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, water-soluble alginate derivatives, gelatin, carrageenan, glucomannan, pectin, gellan gum, gellan gum, polyacrylic acid, and polyacrylic acid derivatives. Among these, carboxymethyl cellulose derivatives, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyacrylic acid are particularly preferred, and carboxymethyl cellulose derivatives are even more preferred. The mass ratio of polymer particles to binder can be (1~5):1, preferably (1.2~4):1. In this invention, the binder preferably has a weight-average molecular weight greater than or equal to 1000 Da. From the viewpoint of improving dispersibility, the weight-average molecular weight of the binder is more preferably greater than or equal to 5000 Da, further preferably greater than or equal to 10000 Da, and particularly preferably greater than or equal to 50000 Da.

[0075] Examples of inorganic particles include at least one of strontium titanate, barium titanate, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, boehmite, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, and barium sulfate. Introducing inorganic particles into the insulating layer can further prevent internal short circuits caused by thermal runaway. In embodiments containing both polymer particles and inorganic particles, the mass ratio of polymer particles to inorganic particles can be (2~8):1, preferably (3~7):1.

[0076] An insulating layer can be formed, for example, by applying an insulating layer paste onto a porous substrate, drying it, and then calendering it as needed.

[0077] Furthermore, in one embodiment, from the viewpoint of balancing battery characteristics and safety, the thickness of the insulating layer is preferably 0.1 to 5 µm, more preferably 0.5 to 3 µm, even more preferably 0.8 to 2.5 µm, and particularly preferably 1.2 to 2 µm.

[0078] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of discharge rate, the thickness of the porous substrate is preferably 4 to 20 µm, more preferably 5 to 10 µm, and even more preferably 6 to 8 µm.

[0079] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the diaphragm structure in one embodiment, which includes a porous substrate 1 and an insulating layer 2 formed on one surface of the porous substrate. In other embodiments, insulating layers may be formed on multiple surfaces of the porous substrate, such as on two opposing surfaces of the porous substrate.

[0080] electrolyte

[0081] As an electrolyte, an organic electrolyte in which the supporting electrolyte is dissolved in an organic solvent is typically used. As a supporting electrolyte, lithium salts can be used, for example, in lithium-ion secondary batteries. Examples of lithium salts include LiPF6, LiAsF6, LiBF4, LiSbF6, LiAlCl4, and LiClO4. A single electrolyte can be used, or two or more can be used in combination. Since there is a general tendency for using a supporting electrolyte with a higher degree of dissociation to result in higher lithium-ion conductivity, the lithium-ion conductivity can be adjusted according to the type of supporting electrolyte.

[0082] As for the organic solvent used in the electrolyte, there are no particular limitations as long as it can dissolve and support the electrolyte. For example, in lithium-ion secondary batteries, carbonates such as dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethylene carbonate (EC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), propylene carbonate (PC), butyl carbonate (BC), and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) are preferred; esters such as γ-butyrolactone, methyl formate, ethyl acetate, propyl propionate, and ethyl propionate are preferred; ethers such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane and tetrahydrofuran are preferred; and sulfur-containing compounds such as sulfolane and dimethyl sulfoxide are preferred. Mixtures of these solvents can also be used. Among these, carbonates and carboxylic acid esters are preferred because they have high dielectric constants and wide stable potential ranges. Since there is a general tendency for lower viscosity solvents to have higher lithium-ion conductivity, the lithium-ion conductivity can be adjusted according to the type of solvent.

[0083] The electrolyte of the secondary battery provided by the present invention includes component A and component B. Component A includes at least one of lithium difluorophosphate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide; and component B includes at least one of dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, methyl ethyl carbonate, ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, and 1,4-butyrolactone.

[0084] The use of polymer particles in the insulating layer significantly improves the adhesion between the insulating layer and the porous substrate. However, under low-temperature conditions, the insulating layer is prone to cracking in an electrolyte system containing component B. Through systematic research, this invention has discovered that when component A is included in the electrolyte, the secondary battery unexpectedly suppresses insulating layer cracking, thereby improving not only the low-temperature output and lithium deposition suppression performance of the secondary battery but also significantly enhancing safety.

[0085] Based on 100 parts by mass of the electrolyte, the content of component A is 0.01 to 5 parts by mass, preferably 0.1 to 3 parts by mass.

[0086] Based on 100 parts by mass of the electrolyte, the content of component B is 5 to 68 parts by mass, preferably 11 to 55 parts by mass.

[0087] Components A and / or B, when within the above range, can further suppress insulation layer cracking, improve the low-temperature output and lithium deposition suppression performance of secondary batteries, and significantly improve safety.

[0088] The electrolyte further includes additive C, which comprises at least one of succinic anionyl nitrile, adiponitrile, ethylene glycol bis(propionitrile) ether, 1,3,6-hexanetrionitrile, glycerol trionitrile, lithium 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, lithium 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, and lithium 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide. This invention has found that component B causes instability in the positive electrode film formation under high-temperature conditions, leading to excessively rapid lithium ion release. Systematic research has shown that additive C can inhibit the excessively rapid lithium ion release caused by the instability of the positive electrode film formation under high-temperature conditions, thereby further improving the low-temperature output and lithium deposition suppression performance of the secondary battery, and significantly improving safety.

[0089] Based on 100 parts by mass of the electrolyte, the content of the succinic anion is 0.7-3.5 parts by mass, and / or the content of the adiponitrile is 0.6-4 parts by mass, and / or the content of the ethylene glycol bis(propionitrile) ether is 0.2-2 parts by mass, and / or the content of the 1,3,6-hexanetrionitrile is 0.1-3 parts by mass, and / or the content of the glycerol trionitrile is 0.1-4 parts by mass, and / or the content of the lithium 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is 0.01-2 parts by mass, and / or the content of the lithium 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate is 0.01-2 parts by mass, and / or the content of the lithium 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide is 0.01-2 parts by mass. When additive C meets the above ranges, it can further improve the low-temperature output and lithium deposition suppression performance of the secondary battery, and significantly improve safety.

[0131] The relevant performance of the assembled secondary battery was tested using the following methods: (1) Low temperature output characteristics The manufactured lithium-ion battery was left to stand at 25°C for 24 hours, then charged at 25°C with a 0.2C CC-CV charge rate (terminating at 0.02C) to 4.6V. It was then discharged at 0.2C CC to 3.0V. This discharged capacity was taken as the initial capacity. It was then charged until the capacity reached 50% of the initial capacity, at which point the voltage was V0. Next, it was discharged at -10°C with a 1C discharge rate, and the voltage V1 was measured 0.1 seconds after the start of discharge. The low-temperature output characteristics were then evaluated using the voltage change ΔV, expressed as ΔV = V0 - V1. A smaller ΔV value indicates better low-temperature performance. The letters in the "Low-Temperature Output Characteristics" column represent: A++: The voltage change ΔV is less than 0.1V; A+: Voltage change ΔV is greater than 0.1V and less than 0.2V; A: Voltage change ΔV is greater than 0.2V and less than 0.3V; B: Voltage change ΔV is greater than 0.3V and less than 0.5V; C: Voltage change ΔV is greater than 0.5V and less than 0.8V; D: Voltage change ΔV is greater than 0.8V and less than 1.0V; E: Voltage change ΔV is greater than 1.0V.

[0132] (2) Lithium deposition suppression characteristics

[0133] The fabricated battery was charged to 100% depth of charge (SOC) at a constant current of 1C at -10°C. Then, the battery was disassembled, the negative electrode was removed, and the area of ​​lithium deposited on the surface of the negative electrode binder layer was calculated. The lithium deposition area ratio was calculated as (area of ​​deposited lithium / surface area of ​​the negative electrode binder layer) × 100%. The battery was then evaluated according to the following criteria. The letters in the "Lithium Deposition Inhibition Characteristics" column represent: A++: The lithium deposition area ratio is less than 0.5%; A+: Lithium deposition area ratio is 0.5% or more but less than 1%; A: The lithium deposition area ratio is more than 1% and less than 3%; B: The lithium deposition area ratio is 3% or more but less than 5%; C: The lithium deposition area ratio is 5% or more but less than 8%; D: The lithium deposition area ratio is 8% or more but less than 10%; E: The lithium deposition area ratio is above 10%.

[0134] (3) Safety test

[0135] After the secondary batteries manufactured in the examples and comparative examples were left to stand for 24 hours, they were charged to 4.5V and discharged to 3.0V at a charge-discharge rate of 0.2C. Then, they were charged to 4.5V at 25°C at a charging rate of 0.2C. A voltage measurement terminal was connected to the secondary battery, and it was placed inside a heating test apparatus. The temperature was then increased to 150°C at a rate of 5°C / min and held at 150°C. The elapsed time from reaching 150°C until a short circuit occurred was measured. This elapsed time was evaluated using the following criteria, and the results are shown in Table 1. A longer elapsed time indicates higher battery safety. The letters in the "Safety" column represent: A++: 35 minutes or more; A+: 30 minutes or more but less than 35 minutes; A: More than 25 minutes but less than 30 minutes; B: More than 20 minutes but less than 25 minutes; C: More than 15 minutes but less than 20 minutes; D: More than 10 minutes but less than 15 minutes; E: Less than 10 minutes.

[0149] Table 5

[0150] The separator of the secondary battery provided by the present invention has an insulating layer formed on a porous substrate. The insulating layer includes polymer particles with a melting point of 75°C to 138°C, a binder, and optional inorganic particles. When the battery experiences thermal runaway, the insulating layer can melt and fill the pores of the porous substrate to block ion conduction and avoid internal short circuits, thereby significantly improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0151] This invention has discovered that using the polymer particles of this invention in the insulating layer significantly improves the adhesion between the insulating layer and the porous substrate. However, under low-temperature conditions, the insulating layer is prone to cracking in an electrolyte system containing component B described in this invention. To address this, this invention, through systematic research, has found that when the secondary battery contains component A described in this invention in the electrolyte, it unexpectedly suppresses the cracking of the insulating layer, thereby improving not only the low-temperature output and lithium deposition suppression performance of the secondary battery, but also further enhancing its safety.

[0152] This invention also discovered that component B, as described in this invention, causes instability in the positive electrode film formation under high-temperature conditions, leading to the problem of excessively rapid lithium ion release. Through systematic research, this invention found that when the electrolyte also includes additive C as described in this invention, additive C can suppress the excessively rapid lithium ion release caused by the instability of the positive electrode film formation of component B under high-temperature conditions, further improving the low-temperature output and lithium deposition suppression performance of the secondary battery, and significantly improving safety.

[0153] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above embodiments are merely examples, and any embodiments that have the same structure and perform the same effects as the technical concept within the scope of the present invention are included within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, various modifications that can be conceived by those skilled in the art to the embodiments, and other ways of constructing by combining some of the constituent elements of the embodiments, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, are also included within the scope of the present invention.
