[0003] In recent years, as the application scope of secondary batteries has become increasingly wide, they have been widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power plants, as well as in many fields such as power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles and electric vehicles.

[0004] With the significant advancements in rechargeable batteries, higher performance requirements have been placed on them. Developing a battery with high energy density, good cycle performance, and low self-discharge is a key focus for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a battery cell, a battery device and an electrical device, wherein the battery cell has a high energy density, good cycle performance and low self-discharge.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this application provides a battery cell, including a positive electrode, a separator, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode and the negative electrode are stacked, and the separator is disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

[0007] The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode body and a positive electrode tab connected to the positive electrode body, wherein the ratio of the long side dimension to the short side dimension of the positive electrode body is (3~8):1;

[0010] R1-(C=O)-O-R2 equation (1);

[0011] R1 and R2 each independently include C1 to C5 alkyl or haloalkyl groups.

[0012] By controlling the ratio of the long side dimension to the short side dimension of the positive electrode body to be (3~8):1, when a stacked battery is formed using a positive electrode with a large aspect ratio, the battery space occupied by the tabs can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the energy density of the battery cell. By using one or more of dimethyl carbonate and linear carboxylic acid esters with the structure shown in formula (1) as solvents in the electrolyte, the solvent has a low viscosity and is beneficial to improving the conductivity of the electrolyte, which can improve the problem of insufficient electrolyte wetting in stacked batteries with large aspect ratios, thereby enabling the battery cell to achieve good cycle performance. By adopting a specific overhang setting in the negative electrode and the separator, the long side of the negative electrode body extends 2mm~9mm beyond the long side edge of the positive electrode body, and the long side of the separator extends 2mm~10mm beyond the long side edge of the negative electrode body; this can effectively reduce the battery self-discharge caused by misalignment of the positive and negative electrode plates due to gas generation by low viscosity solvent, thereby enabling the battery cell to achieve low self-discharge. This application achieves a battery cell with not only high energy density, but also good cycle performance and low self-discharge through the synergistic combination of the above factors, by setting the aspect ratio of the electrode, the electrolyte solvent, and the overhang of the negative electrode and the separator.

[0054] Currently, due to the significant advancements in rechargeable batteries, higher performance requirements have been placed on them. Developing a battery with high energy density that also exhibits good cycle performance and low self-discharge is one of the key areas of focus for those skilled in the art.

[0055] Based on this, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first aspect of this application provides a battery cell, which is a stacked battery cell. The battery cell includes a positive electrode 1, a separator 2, a negative electrode 3, and an electrolyte. The positive electrode 1 and the negative electrode 3 are stacked, and the separator 2 is disposed between the positive electrode 1 and the negative electrode 3.

[0056] The positive electrode 1 includes a positive electrode body 11 and a positive electrode tab 12 connected to the positive electrode body 11. The long side dimension of the positive electrode body 11 is (e.g., Figure 2 (as shown in d1) and the short side dimension (as shown in d1) Figure 2 The ratio of the two electrodes (as shown in d2) is (3~8):1; the negative electrode plate 3 includes a negative electrode body portion 31 and a negative electrode tab portion 32 connected to the negative electrode body portion 31. The long side of the negative electrode body portion 31 extends beyond the long side edge of the positive electrode body portion 11 (i.e., overhang, as shown in d2). Figure 1 The length of the separator 2 (as shown in L1) is 2mm to 9mm, and the long side of the separator 2 extends beyond the edge of the long side of the negative electrode body 31 (i.e., overhang). Figure 1 The diameter of the electrolyte (as shown in L2) is 2 mm to 10 mm; the electrolyte includes a first solvent, which includes one or more of dimethyl carbonate and linear carboxylic acid esters having the structure shown in formula (1);

[0057] R1-(C=O)-O-R2 equation (1);

[0058] In formula (1), R1 and R2 each independently include C1 to C5 alkyl or haloalkyl groups.

[0059] In this application, the positive electrode body portion 11 is the main body portion of the positive electrode sheet 1, and this area is mainly used to set the positive electrode film layer, and an insulating coating can be set at its edge; the positive electrode tab portion 12 refers to the conductive area extending from the positive electrode body portion 11 for connecting to an external circuit, and an insulating coating can be set at the root of the positive electrode tab portion 12; the long side of the positive electrode body portion 11 refers to the side with a longer length in the plane where the positive electrode body portion 11 is located, and the short side of the positive electrode body portion 11 refers to the side with a shorter length in the plane where the positive electrode body portion 11 is located; similarly, the negative electrode body portion 31 is the main body portion of the negative electrode sheet 3, and this area is mainly used to set the negative electrode film layer; the negative electrode tab portion 32 refers to the conductive area extending from the negative electrode body portion 31 for connecting to an external circuit; the long side of the negative electrode body portion 31 refers to the side with a longer length in the plane where the negative electrode body portion 31 is located, and the short side of the negative electrode body portion 31 refers to the side with a shorter length in the plane where the negative electrode body portion 31 is located. The long and short side dimensions of the positive electrode main body 11 and the negative electrode main body 31 can be directly measured after disassembling the stacked battery.

[0060] The distance by which the long side of the negative electrode main body 31 extends beyond the edge of the long side of the positive electrode main body 11, the distance by which the long side of the separator 2 extends beyond the edge of the long side of the negative electrode main body 31, the dimensions of the long and short sides of the positive electrode main body 11, and the dimensions of the long and short sides of the negative electrode main body 31 can all be tested using conventional methods in the art.

[0061] As an example, the stacked battery can be disassembled, and multiple (e.g., 10) test points can be selected at intervals along both sides of the long side of the positive electrode main body 11. The distance at each test point from the long side of the negative electrode main body 31 to the edge of the long side of the positive electrode main body 11 can be measured, and then the average value can be calculated. This average value can be considered as the distance from the long side of the negative electrode main body 31 to the edge of the long side of the positive electrode main body 11. Similarly, multiple (e.g., 10) test points can be selected at intervals along both sides of the long side of the negative electrode main body 31, and the distance at each test point from the long side of the separator 2 to the edge of the long side of the negative electrode main body 31 can be measured. Then the average value can be calculated, and this average value can be considered as the distance from the long side of the separator 2 to the edge of the long side of the negative electrode main body 31.

[0062] In this application, the types and contents of organic components in the electrolyte can be detected using equipment and methods known in the art. For example, the organic components in the electrolyte can be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography, referring to GB / T9722-2006 "General Rules for Gas Chromatography of Chemical Reagents". In the embodiments of this application, freshly prepared electrolyte can be used as a sample, the free electrolyte of a fresh battery can be used as a sample, or a battery that has been completely discharged (discharged to the lower limit cutoff voltage so that the battery's state of charge is approximately 0% SOC) can be disassembled in reverse, and the free electrolyte obtained from the battery can be used as a sample for detection by ion chromatography.

[0063] In the embodiments of this application, the types and contents of inorganic components / lithium salt concentrations in the electrolyte are known in the art and can be detected using equipment and methods known in the art. For example, the concentrations of inorganic components / lithium salts in the electrolyte can be qualitatively or quantitatively analyzed by ion chromatography analysis using standard JY / T020-1996 "General Rules for Ion Chromatography Analysis". In the embodiments of this application, freshly prepared electrolyte can be used as a sample, the free electrolyte of a fresh battery can be used as a sample, or a battery that has been completely discharged (discharged to the lower limit cutoff voltage so that the battery's state of charge is approximately 0% SOC) can be disassembled in reverse, and the free electrolyte obtained from the battery can be used as a sample for detection by ion chromatography analysis.

[0064] In the embodiments of this application, after quantitative and qualitative detection of each component in the electrolyte, the solvent composition and mass content of each solvent in the electrolyte can be determined.

[0065] The aforementioned battery cell, by controlling the ratio of the long side dimension to the short side dimension of the positive electrode body 11 of the positive electrode 1 to be (3~8):1, and using this positive electrode 1 with a large aspect ratio to form a stacked battery, can reduce the battery space occupied by the tabs, which is beneficial to improving the energy density of the battery cell. However, when the aspect ratio of the electrode in the stacked battery is large, the penetration path of the electrolyte along the length of the battery is longer, which can easily lead to insufficient electrolyte wetting in some areas of the electrode, affecting the cycle performance of the battery. By using one or more of dimethyl carbonate and linear carboxylic acid esters with the structure shown in formula (1) as the first solvent in the electrolyte, the first solvent has a low viscosity and is beneficial to improving the conductivity of the electrolyte, which can improve the problem of insufficient electrolyte wetting in stacked batteries with large aspect ratios of the electrode, thereby enabling the battery cell to achieve better cycle performance. However, electrolyte solvents containing dimethyl carbonate and / or linear carboxylic acid esters with the structure shown in formula (1) are prone to gas generation during battery cycling, which may lead to misalignment of the positive and negative electrode plates in the stacked battery, causing battery self-discharge. To address this, this application employs a specific overhang arrangement in the negative electrode plate 3 and the separator 2, such that the long side of the negative electrode body 31 extends 2mm to 9mm beyond the long side edge of the positive electrode body 11, and the long side of the separator 2 extends 2mm to 10mm beyond the long side edge of the negative electrode body 31. This effectively reduces battery self-discharge caused by misalignment of the positive and negative electrode plates, thus enabling the battery cell to achieve a lower self-discharge. This application, through the synergistic effect of the electrode aspect ratio, electrolyte solvent, and the overhang arrangement of the negative electrode plate 3 and the separator 2, enables the battery cell to not only have a high energy density but also good cycle performance and low self-discharge.

[0066] It is understandable that the ratio of the long side dimension to the short side dimension of the positive electrode body 11 can be 3:1, 3.2:1, 3.5:1, 3.8:1, 4:1, 4.2:1, 4.5:1, 4.8:1, 5:1, 5.2:1, 5.5:1, 5.8:1, 6:1, 6.2:1, 6.5:1, 6.8:1, 7:1, 7.2:1, 7.5:1, 7.8:1, 8:1, and any ratio within the range formed by any two of the above ratios. The length of the long side of the negative electrode main body 31 extending beyond the edge of the long side of the positive electrode main body 11 can be 2mm, 2.2mm, 2.5mm, 2.8mm, 3mm, 3.2mm, 3.5mm, 3.8mm, 4mm, 4.2mm, 4.5mm, 4.8mm, 5mm, 5.2mm, 5.5mm, 5.8mm, 6mm, 6.2mm, 6.5mm, 6.8mm, 7mm, 7.2mm, 7.5mm, 7.8mm, 8mm, 8.2mm, 8.5mm, 8.8mm, 9mm, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values. The length of the separator 2 extending beyond the edge of the long side of the negative electrode body 31 can be 2mm, 2.2mm, 2.5mm, 2.8mm, 3mm, 3.2mm, 3.5mm, 3.8mm, 4mm, 4.2mm, 4.5mm, 4.8mm, 5mm, 5.2mm, 5.5mm, 5.8mm, 6mm, 6.2mm, 6.5mm, 6.8mm, 7mm, 7.2mm, 7.5mm, 7.8mm, 8mm, 8.2mm, 8.5mm, 8.8mm, 9mm, 9.2mm, 9.5mm, 9.8mm, 10mm, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0067] In some embodiments, the ratio of the long side dimension to the short side dimension of the positive electrode body 11 is (4~6):1. Controlling the ratio of the long side dimension to the short side dimension of the positive electrode body 11 within the above range is beneficial for the battery cell to better balance higher energy density, better cycle performance, and lower self-discharge.

[0068] In some embodiments, the long side of the negative electrode main body 31 extends 3mm to 6mm beyond the long side edge of the positive electrode main body 11; the long side of the separator 2 extends 3mm to 7mm beyond the long side edge of the negative electrode main body 31. This overhang design, with the long side of the negative electrode main body 31 relative to the long side of the positive electrode main body 11 and the long side of the separator 2 relative to the long side of the negative electrode main body 31, allows the battery cell to better balance higher energy density, better cycle performance, and lower self-discharge.

[0069] In some embodiments, the linear carboxylic acid ester includes one or more of ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, methyl propionate, propyl acetate, ethyl formate, and isopropyl formate. These linear carboxylic acid esters have low viscosity, which is beneficial for electrolyte wetting and improves the problem of insufficient electrolyte wetting in stacked batteries with large electrode aspect ratios. This allows the battery cells to achieve both high energy density and good cycle performance.

[0070] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the first solvent is 10% to 60% based on the mass of the electrolyte. Controlling the mass fraction of the first solvent in the electrolyte within the above range is beneficial for the electrolyte to have suitable viscosity and high conductivity, which helps to improve the problem of insufficient electrolyte wetting in stacked cells with large electrode aspect ratios, and enables the battery cells to better balance cycle performance.

[0071] Understandably, the mass fraction of the first solvent can be, but is not limited to, 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 35%, 38%, 40%, 42%, 45%, 48%, 50%, 52%, 55%, 58%, 60%, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values. The electrolyte may include dimethyl carbonate but not linear carboxylic acid esters, may include linear carboxylic acid esters but not dimethyl carbonate, or may include both dimethyl carbonate and linear carboxylic acid esters.

[0072] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mass fraction of the first solvent is 15% to 35% based on the mass of the electrolyte. Controlling the mass fraction of the first solvent in the electrolyte within the above range is beneficial for enabling the battery cell to better balance higher energy density, better cycle performance, and lower self-discharge.

[0073] In some embodiments, the electrolyte has a conductivity of 9.5 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm at room temperature. Adding dimethyl carbonate and / or linear carboxylic acid esters as solvents to the electrolyte helps to achieve a higher conductivity. Controlling the electrolyte conductivity within the above range is beneficial for improving the cycle performance of the battery cells.

[0074] It is understood that the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature can be, but is not limited to, 9.5 mS / cm, 10 mS / cm, 10.5 mS / cm, 11 mS / cm, 11.5 mS / cm, 12 mS / cm, 12.5 mS / cm, 13 mS / cm, 13.5 mS / cm, 14 mS / cm, 14.5 mS / cm, 15 mS / cm, 15.5 mS / cm, 16 mS / cm, 16.5 mS / cm, 17 mS / cm, 17.5 mS / cm, 18 mS / cm, 18.5 mS / cm, 19 mS / cm, 19.5 mS / cm, 20 mS / cm, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values. Room temperature typically refers to 20℃ to 25℃.

[0075] In some specific examples, the electrolyte has a conductivity of 10 mS / cm to 16 mS / cm at room temperature.

[0076] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes a lithium salt, including one or more of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) and lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI); the total mass fraction of lithium hexafluorophosphate and / or lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide is 12% to 18% by mass of the electrolyte.

[0077] By combining lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium difluorosulfonylimide as lithium salts, and controlling the total mass fraction of lithium hexafluorophosphate and / or lithium difluorosulfonylimide within the above-mentioned range, it is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the electrolyte and enhance the cycle performance and kinetic performance of the battery cells.

[0078] Understandably, the total mass fraction of lithium hexafluorophosphate and / or lithium difluorosulfonylimide in the electrolyte can be, but is not limited to, 12%, 12.5%, 13%, 13.5%, 14%, 14.5%, 15%, 15.5%, 16%, 16.5%, 17%, 17.5%, 18%, and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0079] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of lithium hexafluorophosphate to lithium difluorosulfonylimide is (1.2~3):1. Controlling the mass ratio of lithium hexafluorophosphate to lithium difluorosulfonylimide within this range is beneficial for improving the conductivity of the electrolyte, alleviating the problem of insufficient electrolyte wetting in stacked cells with large electrode aspect ratios, and improving the cycle performance and kinetic performance of the battery cells. Understandably, the mass ratio of lithium hexafluorophosphate to lithium difluorosulfonylimide can be, but is not limited to, 1.2:1, 1.3:1, 1.4:1, 1.5:1, 1.6:1, 1.7:1, 1.8:1, 1.9:1, 2:1, 2.1:1, 2.2:1, 2.3:1, 2.4:1, 2.5:1, 2.6:1, 2.7:1, 2.8:1, 2.9:1, 3:1, and any ratio within the range formed by any two of the above ratios.

[0080] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes additives, including one or more of vinylene carbonate (VC), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), and 1,3-propanesulfonate lactone (PS). Adding these additives to the electrolyte optimizes the SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interface) membrane, which helps the battery cell better balance cycle performance and kinetic performance.

[0081] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the additive is less than or equal to 5% based on the mass of the electrolyte. Excessive use of the additive will increase the impedance of the battery cell. In the stacked battery with a large aspect ratio of the electrodes in this application, the use of the above-mentioned additive at a mass fraction of less than 5% of the electrolyte is more conducive to enabling the battery cell to better balance cycle performance and kinetic performance.

[0082] Understandably, the mass fraction of the additive in the electrolyte can be, but is not limited to, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.2%, 3.5%, 3.8%, 4%, 4.2%, 4.5%, 4.8%, 5%, and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0083] Furthermore, in some specific examples, the mass fraction of the additive is 0.5% to 3% based on the mass of the electrolyte. This helps to better balance cycle performance and kinetic performance in the battery cell.

[0084] In some embodiments, the positive electrode tab 12 is connected to the short side of the positive electrode main body 11, and the negative electrode tab 32 is connected to the short side of the negative electrode main body 31. Thus, placing the positive electrode tab 12 on one side of the short side of the positive electrode main body 11 and the negative electrode tab 32 on one side of the short side of the negative electrode main body 31 is more beneficial for improving the energy density of the battery cell compared to a design where the tabs are placed on the long side.

[0085] In some embodiments, the battery cell further includes a pouch casing, with the positive electrode 1, separator 2, negative electrode 3, and electrolyte disposed within the pouch casing. The thickness of the pouch casing is 70 μm to 200 μm. That is, the battery cell of this application can be a pouch battery cell. Controlling the thickness of the pouch casing within the above range is beneficial for improving the energy density of the battery cell and also enables the casing to have greater strength, mitigating the problem of the pouch casing expanding due to gas generation during cycling by low-viscosity solvents.

[0086] Understandably, the thickness of the soft-pack shell can be, but is not limited to, 70μm, 80μm, 90μm, 100μm, 110μm, 120μm, 130μm, 140μm, 150μm, 160μm, 170μm, 180μm, 190μm, 200μm, and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0087] In some specific examples, the material of the soft-pack shell can be plastic. Further, non-limiting examples of plastic may include one or more of polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate, and polybutylene succinate.

[0088] In some embodiments, the negative electrode body 31 includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer. The negative electrode film layer includes a first negative electrode film layer and a second negative electrode film layer disposed on the negative electrode current collector, with the first negative electrode film layer located between the negative electrode current collector and the second negative electrode film layer. Both the first and second negative electrode film layers include graphite. The average longest diameter of the graphite in the first negative electrode film layer is 7 μm to 18 μm, and the average longest diameter of the graphite in the second negative electrode film layer is 6 μm to 10 μm. Furthermore, the average longest diameter of the graphite in the first negative electrode film layer is greater than the average longest diameter of the graphite in the second negative electrode film layer.

[0089] By employing a two-layer structure for the negative electrode film, the average length of the longest diameter of graphite in the first and second negative electrode films is controlled within the aforementioned range, and the average length of the longest diameter of graphite in the first negative electrode film is made greater than that in the second negative electrode film. The second negative electrode film, located at the top, uses graphite with a smaller particle size, which provides more lithium-ion insertion sites, making it easier for lithium ions to be inserted from the electrolyte into the negative electrode film, thus improving the fast-charging performance of the battery cell. The first negative electrode film, located at the bottom, uses graphite with a larger particle size, which helps to increase the compaction density of the negative electrode film, allowing the battery cell to better balance fast-charging performance and energy density.

[0090] It is understandable that the average value of the longest diameter of graphite in the first negative electrode film layer can be 7μm, 8μm, 9μm, 10μm, 11μm, 12μm, 13μm, 14μm, 15μm, 16μm, 17μm, 18μm, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values; the average value of the longest diameter of graphite in the second negative electrode film layer can be 6μm, 7μm, 8μm, 9μm, 10μm, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0091] The method for testing the average longest diameter is as follows: 500 graphite particles are randomly selected from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) image, and the longest diameter of each graphite particle is measured and averaged. The longest diameter of a graphite particle refers to the maximum length dimension that can be measured in all possible measurement directions of the particle in the above SEM image.

[0092] Furthermore, the ratio of the thickness of the second negative electrode film to the total thickness of the negative electrode sheet can be 30% to 70%.

[0093] In some embodiments, the graphite in the first and second negative electrode layers each independently comprises a graphite particle body and an amorphous carbon coating layer disposed on the surface of the graphite particle body, the thickness of the amorphous carbon coating layer being 100 nm to 500 nm. That is, the graphite in the first negative electrode layer may include an amorphous carbon coating layer, the graphite in the second negative electrode layer may include an amorphous carbon coating layer, or both the graphite in the first and second negative electrode layers may include an amorphous carbon coating layer. By providing an amorphous carbon coating layer of the aforementioned thickness on the graphite surface, it is beneficial to further improve the conductivity of the graphite particles and further improve the kinetic performance of the battery.

[0094] Understandably, the thickness of the amorphous carbon coating layer on the surface of the graphite particle can be, but is not limited to, 100nm, 120nm, 150nm, 180nm, 200nm, 220nm, 250nm, 280nm, 300nm, 320nm, 350nm, 380nm, 400nm, 420nm, 450nm, 480nm, 500nm, and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0095] Furthermore, the graphite in the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer can each be artificial graphite, or a mixture of artificial graphite and natural graphite.

[0096] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of graphite in the first and second negative electrode layers is independently 90% to 94%. Graphite with the above-mentioned graphitization degree is more conducive to lithium-ion intercalation, which is beneficial to improving the specific capacity of the negative electrode and the energy density of the battery.

[0097] In some embodiments, the areal density of the negative electrode film coating on one side is 0.13 g / 1540.25 mm. 2 ~0.22g / 1540.25mm 2 Controlling the surface area density of the negative electrode film layer on one side within the aforementioned range helps to better balance fast-charging performance and energy density in a single battery cell. Understandably, the surface area density of the negative electrode film layer on one side can be, but is not limited to, 0.13 g / 1540.25 mm. 2 0.14g / 1540.25mm 2 0.15g / 1540.25mm 2 0.16g / 1540.25mm 2 0.17g / 1540.25mm 2 0.18g / 1540.25mm 2 0.19g / 1540.25mm 2 0.20g / 1540.25mm 2 0.21g / 1540.25mm 2 0.22g / 1540.25mm 2 And any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0099] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet is 1.3 g / cc to 1.52 g / cc. Controlling the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet within this range helps to better balance fast-charging performance and energy density in the battery cell. Understandably, the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet can be, but is not limited to, 1.3 g / cc, 1.31 g / cc, 1.32 g / cc, 1.33 g / cc, 1.34 g / cc, 1.35 g / cc, 1.36 g / cc, 1.37 g / cc, 1.38 g / cc, 1.39 g / cc, 1.4 g / cc, 1.41 g / cc, 1.42 g / cc, 1.43 g / cc, 1.44 g / cc, 1.45 g / cc, 1.46 g / cc, 1.47 g / cc, 1.48 g / cc, 1.49 g / cc, 1.50 g / cc, 1.51 g / cc, 1.52 g / cc, and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0100] Alternatively, the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet is 1.35 g / cc to 1.50 g / cc.

[0101] In some embodiments, the positive electrode body 11 includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer. The positive electrode film layer is disposed on the positive electrode current collector and includes a lithium-containing transition metal phosphate. The lithium-containing transition metal phosphate includes one or more of the following elements by mass: aluminum with a content of 200ppm to 2500ppm, vanadium with a content of 300ppm to 2000ppm, and titanium with a content of 1500ppm to 3500ppm.

[0102] Adding aluminum in the above-mentioned amounts to lithium-containing transition metal phosphates can improve the electronic conductivity of the cathode active material, thereby enhancing the fast-charging and cycle performance of the battery cell. Adding vanadium in the above-mentioned amounts to lithium-containing transition metal phosphates can improve the specific capacity of the cathode active material, which in turn can improve the energy density of the battery cell. Adding titanium in the above-mentioned amounts to lithium-containing transition metal phosphates can improve the crystal structure stability of the cathode active material, thereby enhancing the cycle performance of the battery cell.

[0103] Understandably, the aluminum content in lithium-containing transition metal phosphates can be, but is not limited to, 200 ppm, 500 ppm, 800 ppm, 1000 ppm, 1200 ppm, 1500 ppm, 1800 ppm, 2000 ppm, 2200 ppm, 2500 ppm, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values; the vanadium content in lithium-containing transition metal phosphates can be, but is not limited to, 300 ppm, 400 ppm, 500 ppm, 600 ppm, 700 ppm, 800 ppm, 900 ppm, 1000 ppm, 1100 ppm, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0104] In some embodiments, the positive electrode body 11 further includes a base coating layer disposed between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode film layer. The base coating layer includes a conductive agent and has a thickness of 0.5 μm to 3 μm. In stacked cells with a large aspect ratio of the electrodes, the distance that electrons travel from the positive electrode body 11 to the positive electrode tab 12 is relatively long, resulting in a relatively high internal resistance (DCR) of the battery cell. By providing the aforementioned base coating layer between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode film layer, it is beneficial to reduce the battery's internal resistance and improve the battery's dynamic performance.

[0105] Understandably, the thickness of the base coating can be, but is not limited to, 0.5μm, 0.6μm, 0.7μm, 0.8μm, 0.9μm, 1.0μm, 1.2μm, 1.5μm, 1.8μm, 2.0μm, 2.2μm, 2.5μm, 2.8μm, 3μm, and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0106] In some embodiments, the areal density of the positive electrode film coating on one side is 0.33 g / 1540.25 mm. 2 ~0.45g / 1540.25mm 2 Controlling the surface density of the positive electrode film coating on one side within the aforementioned range helps to better balance fast-charging performance and energy density in a single battery cell. Understandably, the surface density of the positive electrode film coating on one side can be, but is not limited to, 0.33 g / 1540.25 mm. 2 0.34g / 1540.25mm2 0.35g / 1540.25mm 2 0.36g / 1540.25mm 2 0.37g / 1540.25mm 2 0.38g / 1540.25mm 2 0.39g / 1540.25mm 2 0.40g / 1540.25mm 2 0.41g / 1540.25mm 2 0.42g / 1540.25mm 2 0.43g / 1540.25mm 2 0.44g / 1540.25mm 2 0.45g / 1540.25mm 2 And any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0107] Optionally, the surface density of the positive electrode film coating on one side is 0.30 g / 1540.25 mm. 2 ~0.40g / 1540.25mm 2 .

[0108] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet is 2.3 g / cc to 2.65 g / cc.

[0109] Alternatively, the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet is 2.35 g / cc to 2.6 g / cc.

[0110] In some embodiments, the thickness ratio of the positive electrode 1 to the positive current collector is (10~20):1, and the thickness ratio of the negative electrode 3 to the negative current collector is (15~25):1. Thus, the positive current collector accounts for a smaller proportion of the thickness in the positive electrode 1, and the negative current collector accounts for a smaller proportion of the thickness in the negative electrode 3, which is beneficial for further improving the energy density of the battery cell.

[0127] Understandably, lithium (Li) is intercalated and deintercalated during the charging and discharging process of a battery, and the Li content in the positive electrode varies depending on the state of discharge. Unless otherwise specified, the Li content in the examples of positive electrode materials listed in this application refers to the initial state of the material. When a positive electrode material is applied to a positive electrode in a battery system, the Li content in the positive electrode material typically changes after charge-discharge cycles. The Li content can be measured using molar content, but is not limited to this. Regarding "Li content refers to the initial state of the material," the initial state of the material refers to its state before being added to the positive electrode slurry. It is understood that new materials obtained by appropriately modifying the listed positive electrode materials are also within the scope of positive electrode materials. The aforementioned appropriate modification refers to acceptable modification methods for the positive electrode material; non-limiting examples include coating modification.

[0128] In the examples of cathode materials in this application, the oxygen (O) content is only a theoretical value. Lattice oxygen release will cause changes in the molar content of oxygen, and the actual O content will fluctuate. The O content can be measured in molar content, but is not limited to this.

[0202] Test method:

[0203] (1) Energy density test

[0204] Charge the battery cell at 0.33C to 3.65V at 25℃, then charge it at a constant voltage of 3.65V to 0.05C; let it stand for 5 minutes; discharge it at 0.33C to 2V, and record the total discharge capacity C0 and the total discharge energy E0 of the battery cell, in Wh.

[0205] The length, width, and thickness of each battery cell are measured, and the volume is calculated and denoted as V, with the unit being L;

[0206] Battery cell volumetric energy density = E0 / V, unit: Wh / L.

[0207] (2) Cyclic performance test

[0208] Step 1: Charge the battery cell at 25 ℃ at 0.33C to 3.65V, then charge it at 3.65V constant voltage to 0.05C; let it stand for 5 minutes; discharge it at 0.33C to 2V, and record the capacity at this time as C0 (this step is the actual initial capacity test).

[0209] Step 2: Charge the battery to 3.45V at 0.5C0 and to 3.65V at 0.33C0; let it stand for 10 minutes; discharge it to 2V at 1C0 and to 2V at 0.33C until the capacity decays to less than or equal to 80% of the initial capacity, and record the number of cycles at this point.

[0210] (3) Battery self-discharge performance test

[0211] The battery cells were left to stand at room temperature for 1 hour. The initial open circuit voltage (OCV) of the cells was measured using a 6.5-digit digital multimeter and recorded as OCV1. After the test, the cells were left to stand at 45°C for 120 hours, then at room temperature for 1 hour. The open circuit voltage was measured again and recorded as OCV2. The self-discharge rate was calculated using the formula: (OCV2 - OCV1) / 120. Ten cells were measured, and the average value was taken.

[0212] (4) Test of film coating surface density

[0213] The coating surface density was tested using the following method: a punch cut of 1540.25 mm. 2 Fifteen electrodes and 15 current collectors (from the same production batch as the electrodes) were weighed, and their average mass was calculated. The average mass of the electrodes is M1 (in g), and the average mass of the current collectors is M2 (in g). When the film layer is applied to both sides of the current collector, the surface density of the coating on one side is: (M1-M2) / 2S.

[0214] (5) Electrode compaction density test

[0215] Disassemble the 0% SOC battery cell to extract the electrode sheet, and punch it to 1540.25mm. 2 Take a small circular sheet and measure its weight M and thickness L; take another electrode sheet, remove the film layer from the surface, and cut the remaining empty current collector foil into 1540.25mm pieces. 2 The mass M0 of the air current collector foil is measured using a small circular piece. The compaction density PD = (M-M0) / 1.54025 / (L-L0), where L0 is the thickness of the current collector foil.

[0216] (6) Average value test of the longest diameter of graphite

[0217] In the scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the negative electrode film, 500 graphite particles were randomly selected, and the longest diameter of each graphite particle was measured and averaged. The longest diameter of the graphite particle refers to the maximum length dimension that can be measured in all possible measurement directions of the particle in the above SEM image.

[0218] The parameters and performance data of the battery cells in the above embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, " / " indicates that the cell does not exist.

[0219] Table 1

[0220]

[0221] As shown in Table 1, the battery cells of each embodiment of this application have high energy density, while also possessing good cycle performance and low self-discharge. Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 has a smaller distance between the long side of the negative electrode body and the long side of the positive electrode body, and a smaller distance between the long side of the separator and the long side of the negative electrode body, resulting in decreased cycle performance and significantly increased self-discharge. Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 2 has an excessively large ratio of the long side dimension to the short side dimension of the positive electrode body, which, although improving the energy density of the battery cell, significantly reduces cycle performance, making it difficult to balance cycle performance. Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 3 does not use dimethyl carbonate and linear carboxylic acid esters with the structure of formula (1) in the electrolyte solvent, resulting in a significant decrease in the cycle performance of the battery cell.
