[0073] To address the above technical issues, this disclosure provides a negative electrode active material, which includes a matrix material comprising a first carbon material and a first silicon-based material in a first preset ratio. By mixing the first carbon material and the first silicon-based material in the first preset ratio, the energy density of the battery can be effectively increased while reducing stress concentration caused by the expansion of silicon particles, suppressing the volume expansion of silicon, and improving the stability of the electrode structure.

[0074] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a negative electrode active material, the negative electrode active material including a matrix material, the matrix material including a first carbon material and a first silicon-based material in a first preset ratio.

[0075] In this embodiment, by mixing the first carbon material and the first silicon-based material in a first preset ratio, the energy density of the battery can be effectively improved while reducing stress concentration caused by the expansion of silicon particles, suppressing the volume expansion of silicon, and improving the stability of the electrode structure.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the first preset ratio is 2.3-199.0:1.

[0077] In this embodiment, controlling the first preset ratio within the range of 2.3-99.0:1 allows the battery to maintain optimal overall performance. Exemplarily, the first preset ratio can be 2.3:1, 30.2:1, 49.7:1, 71.1:1, 145.5:1, or 199.0:1. The first preset ratio can also be any value within the exemplary range, for example, any value between 30.2 and 71.1:1.

[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, the first carbon material includes a first porous carbon material matrix; the first silicon-based material includes a first nano-silicon material; the first nano-silicon material is deposited in the pores of the first porous carbon material matrix.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first nano-silicon material is deposited in the pores of the first porous carbon material matrix, which can reduce the stress concentration caused by the expansion of silicon particles and reduce the risk of material breakage, thereby helping to improve the energy density, cycle stability and rate performance of the battery.

[0081] In this embodiment, the first porous carbon material matrix can be one of hard carbon, soft carbon, carbon black, graphite, carbon fiber, vapor-grown carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, or a combination of several of them. For example, the first porous carbon material matrix includes graphite and hard carbon in a mass ratio of 1.2-3.5:1, or the first porous carbon material matrix includes graphite, hard carbon, and soft carbon in a mass ratio of 0.8-1.2:2.3-3.3:1. The first nano-silicon material can be one of pure silicon, silicon alloy, silicon-carbon composite material, and silicon-oxygen composite material, or a combination of several of them. For example, the first nano-silicon material includes pure silicon and silicon-carbon composite material in a mass ratio of 0.5-1.2:1, or the first nano-silicon material includes a mass ratio of 1.2-2.1:3.1-3.6:1.

[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, the negative electrode active material further includes a polymer coating layer that coats the surface of the matrix material.

[0083] In this embodiment, by coating the surface of the matrix material with a polymer coating layer, the problem of cyclic expansion of the negative electrode sheet can be reduced, effectively improving the energy density of the battery.

[0084] In one exemplary embodiment, the polymer coating layer comprises an aromatic -COOR-containing polymer, which is a polymer or a salt thereof with the following structural formula, as shown in general formula (I):

[0085]

[0086] R1 is selected from H, Li or Na; R2 is selected from hydrogen, sulfonic acid group, hydroxyl group, amino group or thiol.

[0087] In this embodiment, by coating the matrix material with an aromatic -COOR-containing polymer, the silicon particles form chemical bonds with the -COOR bonds, which can reduce the expansion of the negative electrode and effectively improve the energy density of the battery. Furthermore, coating the matrix material with the aromatic -COOR-containing polymer facilitates ion transport between matrix materials, thereby improving the battery's initial efficiency and cycle performance.

[0088] When the polymer coating layer includes an aromatic -COOR polymer, the negative electrode active material can be prepared by the following method: mixing the matrix material and the aromatic -COOR polymer at a temperature of 40-60°C, so that the aromatic -COOR polymer is uniformly coated on the surface of the matrix material to form a polymer coating layer.

[0089] In one exemplary embodiment, the aromatic -COOR-containing polymer is selected from...

[0090]

[0091] At least one of them.

[0092] In this embodiment, the aromatic -COOR polymer can be one of the polymers mentioned above, or several of them can be selected for compounding. For example, the aromatic -COOR polymer can include an aromatic -COOH polymer containing sulfonic acid groups and an aromatic -COOLi polymer containing hydroxyl groups in a mass ratio of 1.5-2.5:1.

[0093] In one exemplary embodiment, the aromatic -COOR-containing polymer accounts for 1.8-7.2% of the mass of the matrix material.

[0094] In this embodiment, the mass ratio of the aromatic -COOR-containing polymer to the matrix material can be 1.8%, 3.4%, 4.5%, 6.1%, or 7.2%. The mass ratio of the aromatic -COOR-containing polymer to the matrix material can also be any value within the exemplary mass percentage range; for example, the mass ratio of the aromatic -COOR-containing polymer to the matrix material can be any value between 3.4% and 6.1%.

[0096] In this embodiment, using high-temperature resistant fiber material as the coating layer of the matrix material can improve the high-temperature stability of the electrode, thereby reducing the probability of battery thermal runaway and improving the battery's safety performance.

[0097] In one exemplary embodiment, the high-temperature resistant fiber material includes aramid.

[0098] Aramid, as a high-performance synthetic fiber, has the advantages of high tensile strength, high temperature resistance and low coefficient of thermal expansion, which are beneficial to improving the high temperature stability of batteries and reducing the probability of thermal runaway. In addition, coating with aramid can also improve the wetting of electrolyte and improve the initial efficiency and cycle performance of batteries.

[0099] When the polymer coating layer includes aramid, the negative electrode active material can be prepared by the following method: depositing a first nano-silicon material on a first porous carbon material matrix to form a matrix material; mixing the matrix material and aramid at a temperature of 200-500℃ to uniformly coat the surface of the matrix material with aramid to form a polymer coating layer.

[0100] In one exemplary embodiment, the aramid includes at least one of meta-aramid, para-aramid, and ortho-aramid.

[0101] Meta-aramid (aramid 1313) has a serrated molecular chain arrangement, exhibiting excellent high-temperature resistance and chemical stability; para-aramid (aramid 1414) has a linear molecular chain arrangement, resulting in even better high-temperature resistance; ortho-aramid also possesses the advantages of high-temperature resistance and chemical stability. In this embodiment, the aramid can be one of meta-aramid, para-aramid, or ortho-aramid, or a blend of several of them. For example, the aramid includes meta-aramid and para-aramid in a mass ratio of 1.2-2.8:1.

[0102] In one exemplary embodiment, the specific surface area of ​​the first porous carbon material matrix is ​​2.2-12.3 m². 2 / g.

[0103] The high specific surface area of ​​the first porous carbon material matrix can provide more active sites, increasing the contact area with the electrolyte, thereby improving the charge transfer rate and reaction kinetics of the battery. In this embodiment, by controlling the specific surface area of ​​the first porous carbon material matrix, the battery can maintain better overall performance. For example, the specific surface area of ​​the first porous carbon material matrix can be 2.2 m². 2 / g, 4.8m 2 / g, 7.3m 2 / g, 10.4m 2 / g, 12.3m 2 / g. The specific surface area of ​​the first porous carbon material matrix can also be any value between the exemplary specific surface area values; for example, the specific surface area of ​​the first porous carbon material matrix can also be 4.8-10.4 μm. 2 Any value between / g.

[0104] In one exemplary embodiment, the porosity of the first porous carbon material matrix is ​​38.5-83.2%.

[0105] Porosity can affect the ion diffusion rate and electron transport efficiency of a battery. Higher porosity helps improve the rate performance and cycle stability of the battery, and reduces the shedding of active material and structural damage. In this embodiment, controlling the porosity of the first porous carbon material matrix can help maintain better overall battery performance. For example, the porosity of the first porous carbon material matrix can be 38.5%, 45.1%, 68.1%, 76.3%, or 83.2%. The porosity of the first porous carbon material matrix can also be any porosity between the exemplary porosities; for example, the porosity of the first porous carbon material matrix can be any porosity between 45.1% and 68.1%.

[0106] In one exemplary embodiment, the first nano-silicon material has a filling degree of 38.5-83.2% in the first porous carbon material matrix.

[0107] In this embodiment, the filling degree of the first nano-silicon material in the first porous carbon material matrix is ​​related to the porosity of the first porous carbon material matrix. The filling degree of the first nano-silicon material in the first porous carbon material matrix is ​​less than or equal to the porosity of the first porous carbon material matrix. For example, the filling degree of the first nano-silicon material in the first porous carbon material matrix can be 38.5%, 40.2%, 45.1%, 68.1%, 71.2%, 76.3%, or 83.2%. The filling degree of the first nano-silicon material in the first porous carbon material matrix can also be any filling degree between the exemplary filling degrees; for example, the filling degree of the first nano-silicon material in the first porous carbon material matrix can also be any filling degree between 40.2% and 68.1%.

[0108] In an exemplary embodiment, the first particle size Dv50 of the first porous carbon material matrix is ​​5.0-10.5 μm.

[0109] Here, Dv50, also known as D50, is a parameter describing particle size, indicating that in a set of particle size distributions, 50% of the particles have a particle size smaller than or equal to this value. For example, Dv50 indicates that 50% of the particles in the first porous carbon material matrix have a particle size smaller than or equal to 5.0-10.5 μm. In this embodiment, the first particle size Dv50 of the first porous carbon material matrix is ​​5.0 μm, 7.8 μm, 8.5 μm, 9.3 μm, and 10.5 μm. The first particle size Dv50 of the first porous carbon material matrix can also be any particle size between the exemplary first particle sizes; for example, the first particle size Dv50 of the first porous carbon material matrix can also be any particle size between 7.8 and 9.3 μm.

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment, the second particle size Dv50 of the first nano-silicon material is 5.0-82.5 nm.

[0113] In this embodiment, the particle spacing of the first nano-silicon material can be 1.0 nm, 5.8 nm, 13.6 nm, 18.9 nm, or 23.5 nm. The particle spacing of the first nano-silicon material can also be any value between the exemplary particle spacings; for example, the particle spacing of the first nano-silicon material can be any value between 5.8 and 18.9 nm.

[0114] In one exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the polymer coating layer is 1.2-5.8% of the thickness of the base material.

[0115] In this embodiment, by controlling the ratio of the polymer coating thickness to the substrate material thickness, the battery can maintain better overall performance. For example, the thickness of the polymer coating is 1.2%, 2.3%, 3.8%, 4.5%, or 5.8% of the substrate material thickness. The ratio of the polymer coating thickness to the substrate material thickness can also be any value between the exemplary ratios; for example, the ratio of the polymer coating thickness to the substrate material thickness can be any value between 2.3% and 4.5%.

[0116] like Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a negative electrode sheet, which includes a negative electrode current collector 1 and a first active material layer 2 disposed on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector 1. The first active material layer 2 includes a first active material material, which includes a first effective component, and the first effective component includes the negative electrode active material as described above.

[0117] In this embodiment, by combining a first porous carbon material matrix with a first nano-carbon material, the energy density, cycle stability, charge / discharge efficiency, rate performance, and mechanical stability of the battery can be improved. The material of the negative electrode current collector 1 is not particularly limited and can be any negative electrode current collector 1 known in the art, such as copper foil or composite copper foil.

[0118] like Figure 1 As shown, the first active material layer 2 can be disposed only on one side of the negative electrode current collector 1; it can be understood that, as Figure 2As shown, the first active material layer 2 can also be disposed on both sides of the negative electrode current collector 1, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0119] For example, the negative electrode sheet can be prepared by coating the negative electrode active material onto both sides of the negative electrode current collector 1 to form a first active material layer 2; and cold pressing to form the negative electrode sheet. The cold pressing (rolling) temperature can be, for example, 20-30°C, and the rolling pressure can be 20-40T.

[0120] In one exemplary embodiment, the negative electrode sheet has a surface area weight of 38-105 mg / cm². 2 .

[0121] In this embodiment, by controlling the weight per unit area of ​​the negative electrode sheet, the battery can maintain better overall performance.

[0122] In one exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the negative electrode sheet is 0.01-0.15 mm.

For example, the thickness of the negative electrode sheet can be 0.01mm, 0.05mm, 0.08mm, 0.10mm, or 0.15mm. The thickness of the negative electrode sheet can also be any thickness between the exemplary values; for example, the thickness of the negative electrode sheet can be any value between 0.05mm and 0.10mm.

[0125] 1.3≤H1 / H2≤6.6.

[0126] In this embodiment, the negative electrode sheet, by setting multiple active material layers, can effectively solve the cycle expansion problem of lithium-ion batteries. For example, the ratio of the first thickness H1 to the second thickness H2 can be 1.3, 2.5, 3.5, 5.2, or 6.6. The ratio of the first thickness H1 to the second thickness H2 can also be any ratio between the exemplary ratios; for example, the ratio of the first thickness H1 to the second thickness H2 can also be any ratio between 2.5 and 5.2.

For example, the mass percentage of hard carbon in the second effective component is 4.7%, 8.2%, 13.5%, 18.8%, and 22.1%. The ratio of the mass of hard carbon to the mass of the second effective component can also be any of the exemplary ratios; for example, the ratio of the mass of hard carbon to the mass of the second effective component can be any ratio between 8.2% and 18.8%.

[0149] In order to form a conductive network between the negative electrode active material and the negative electrode current collector 1, the first active material further includes a first conductive agent, and the second active material further includes a second conductive agent. The first and second conductive agents can be one or more of conductive carbon black, carbon nanotubes, acetylene black, conductive graphite, and graphene.

[0151] The first and second effective components contain the main functional ingredients. The first and second active materials can be applied to the negative electrode current collector 1 by roller coating or extrusion. To improve the uniformity of the negative electrode active material coating, the first active material may also include a first solvent, and the second active material may also include a second solvent. The first (second) solvent can dissolve or disperse the first (second) effective component, thus making the first (second) active material into a slurry. The first (second) active material is coated onto the negative electrode current collector 1 in the form of a slurry to form a uniform coating on the negative electrode current collector 1.

[0152] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a lithium-ion battery, including the negative electrode as described above.

[0153] The lithium-ion battery may further include a positive electrode sheet. The type of positive electrode sheet is not particularly limited, as long as it achieves the purpose of this disclosure. The positive electrode sheet can be formed by coating a positive electrode active material. For example, the positive electrode active material can be selected from at least one of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary materials, lithium iron phosphate, lithium-rich lithium cobalt oxide, lithium-rich nickel-manganese oxide, and lithium-rich manganese-based materials.

[0154] In one exemplary embodiment, the lithium-ion battery further includes an electrolyte comprising linear carbonate, wherein the linear carbonate accounts for 10-70% of the total mass of the electrolyte.

[0155] In this embodiment, by controlling the mass percentage of linear carbonate, the low-temperature performance of the battery can be improved. The linear carbonate can be, for example, one or more of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), and dipropyl carbonate (DPC). Exemplarily, the mass percentage of linear carbonate is 10%, 30%, 35%, 43%, 47%, 50%, or 70% of the total electrolyte mass. The mass percentage of linear carbonate to the total electrolyte mass can also be any of the exemplary ratios, for example, any ratio between 35% and 47% of the total electrolyte mass.

[0156] Lithium-ion batteries may also include a separator, separating the positive and negative electrode sheets to prevent internal short circuits. The positive and negative electrode sheets and the separator are wound or stacked to form a bare cell, which is then processed through liquid injection / formation / molding to create a finished lithium-ion battery. The fully charged voltage of a lithium-ion battery is not less than 4.5V.

[0157] The material of the separator is not particularly limited, as long as it can achieve the purpose of this disclosure; for example, the separator can be a polyolefin separator, a polyester separator, a polyamide separator, etc.; the polyolefin separator can be a polyethylene resin separator or a polypropylene resin separator; the polyester separator can be a polyethylene terephthalate separator; the polyamide separator can be a nylon 6 separator or a nylon 66 separator.

[0158] In one exemplary embodiment, the percentage of silicon mass in the first silicon-based material relative to the total mass of the first effective component is x;

[0159] The width of the negative electrode plate is y;

[0160] The length of the inner pit of the separator is z;

[0161] The silicon content x, the width y of the negative electrode sheet, and the pit length z of the separator satisfy the following relationship:

[0162] 0.5 ≤ y / x ≤ 2.0;

[0163] 1.0≤zy≤1.6.

[0164] In this embodiment, by controlling the silicon content x, the width y of the negative electrode sheet, and the inner pit length z of the separator, reliability issues such as corrosion caused by the anode top packaging film due to xy expansion (i.e., expansion in the x-axis direction and y-axis direction) during battery cycling can be reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of corner breakage and leakage.

[0165] For example, in one embodiment, the silicon content x, the width y of the negative electrode sheet, and the inner pit length z of the separator satisfy the following relationship: y / x = 0.5; zy = 1.0.

[0166] In another embodiment, the silicon content x, the width y of the negative electrode sheet, and the pit length z of the separator satisfy the following relationship: y / x = 1.5; zy = 1.4.

[0167] In another embodiment, the silicon content x, the width y of the negative electrode sheet, and the inner pit length z of the separator satisfy the following relationship: y / x = 2.0; zy = 1.6.

[0168] In an exemplary embodiment, the linear carbonate content a and the silicon content x satisfy the following relationship: 0.2 ≤ a / x ≤ 2.0.

[0169] In this embodiment, by controlling the relationship between silicon content and linear carbonate in the electrolyte, the operating temperature range of the battery can be broadened, which helps to reduce the risks of battery swelling due to high temperature. For example, the a / x ratio can be 0.2, 0.8, 1.3, 1.6, or 2.0. a / x can also be any ratio between these exemplary values; for example, the a / x ratio can be any ratio between 0.8 and 1.6.

[0170] In one exemplary embodiment, the silicon content x is 0.5-22.4%.

[0171] In this embodiment, by controlling the silicon content, the battery can maintain better overall performance. For example, the silicon content x is 0.5%, 3.8%, 8.6%, 12.4%, 16.5%, and 22.4%. The silicon content x can also be any of the exemplary contents; for example, the silicon content can be any content between 3.8% and 12.4%.

[0172] For example, the silicon content x of the first silicon-based material is 10%, the width y of the negative electrode is 20 mm, the inner pit length z of the separator is 21.5 mm, and the linear carbonate content a is 10%; then y / x = 2.0; zy = 1.5; a / x = 1.0.

[0173] In one exemplary embodiment, the electrolyte further includes at least one of cyclic esters, ether compounds, and nitrile compounds; the electrolyte viscosity is less than or equal to 1 cp.

[0174] In this embodiment, the electrolyte is compounded using the above-mentioned components, and the viscosity of the electrolyte is controlled at 1 cp, which can improve the ion migration rate, reduce the battery resistance, and improve the overall performance of the battery.

[0175] Among them, the cyclic ester can be one or more of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), and butyl carbonate (BC), and its amount can be 3-10%; the ether compound can be one or more of dibutyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and ethoxymethoxyethane, and its amount can be 5-15%; the nitrile compound can be, for example, acrylonitrile, and its amount can be 0.5-5%.
