Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of batteries, and in particular to a battery cell, a battery, and an electrical device. Background Technology
[0002] Battery cells possess characteristics such as high capacity and long lifespan, and are therefore widely used in electronic devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, electric vehicles, electric cars, electric airplanes, electric ships, electric toy cars, electric toy ships, electric toy airplanes, and power tools. Due to the significant advancements in battery cell technology, higher performance requirements have been placed on them.
[0003] However, the cycle performance of individual battery cells is still relatively poor. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a battery cell, a battery, and an electrical device that can improve the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application propose a battery cell, which includes a negative electrode and an electrolyte. The negative electrode includes a current collector and an active material film containing active material particles stacked together, the active material particles including carbonaceous materials. The electrolyte includes lithium salt, organic solvent and additives. The additives include a first additive and a second additive. The first additive includes a hydrofluoroether compound. The second additive has a general structural formula including NO3-R1, wherein R1 includes substituted or unsubstituted carbon-containing heterocycles.
[0006] Therefore, lithium ions in the electrolyte are solvated to form a solvation sheath. Anions preferentially participate in the formation of the SEI film by reducing and decomposing solvent molecules on the carbonaceous material surface. When solvated lithium ions intercalate at the interface, they easily induce solvent molecule intercalation, leading to SEI film instability. The first additive in the electrolyte, hydrofluoroether compound, can reduce the lithium ion solvation ratio and generate a more stable SEI film. In addition, a second additive containing a carbon-containing heterocyclic compound with a nitrate group is further added. This compound is reduced and decomposed on the carbonaceous material surface to generate lithium oxide nitrides. These lithium oxide nitrides participate in the formation of the SEI film, filling the pores or defects of the SEI film. This further increases the inorganic content of the SEI film while improving its density and stability. As a result, a dense, stable composite SEI film with a high inorganic content is formed on the carbonaceous material surface, creating a stable interface layer between the carbonaceous material and the organic solvent. This reduces side reactions between the carbonaceous material and the electrolyte, lowers lithium consumption, and improves cycle performance. On the other hand, composite SEI films with high inorganic content can reduce the transmission impedance of lithium ions through the SEI film and increase the rate of lithium ion extraction and insertion in carbonaceous materials, thereby improving cycle performance.
[0007] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of the first additive to the organic solvent is 1:(0.6 to 0.7).
[0008] Therefore, when the volume ratio of the first additive to the organic solvent is within the above range, the electrolyte has a suitable viscosity, which enhances the interaction between lithium ions and anions, reduces the lithium ion solvation ratio, and increases the rate at which anions participate in the SEI film.
[0009] In some embodiments, the concentration of the second additive in the electrolyte is 0.33 mol / L to 0.37 mol / L.
[0010] Therefore, the second additive is a carbon-containing heterocyclic substance with a nitrate group, which has high solubility in the electrolyte. This allows for obtaining a second additive within the aforementioned concentration range. A molar concentration of the second additive within this range ensures an appropriate amount of lithium oxide nitride in the SEI film. Lithium oxide nitride has high lithium-ion conductivity, achieving good lithium-ion conductivity while forming a dense SEI film. However, excessively high concentrations of the second additive slow down lithium-ion migration, increase battery polarization, and negatively impact cycle performance.
[0011] In some embodiments, the number of carbon atoms in the carbon-containing heterocyclic ring in the general structural formula of the second additive is 3 to 8.
[0012] Therefore, the second additive with the number of carbon atoms in the carbon heterocyclic ring within the above range has high solubility in the electrolyte, so as to obtain a second additive with a concentration of 0.33 mol / L to 0.37 mol / L.
[0013] In some embodiments, the carbon-containing heterocycle in the general structural formula of the second additive includes a substituent, which includes a nitrate group.
[0014] Therefore, the second additive molecule, which includes at least two nitrate groups, can be reduced and decomposed to obtain more lithium nitrogen oxides under the same molar amount, resulting in high utilization.
[0015] In some embodiments, the hydrofluoroether compound includes one or more of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (HFE), bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl methyl ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ethyl ether, and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether.
[0016] In some embodiments, the organic solvent includes one or more of ester organic solvents, ether organic solvents, sulfone organic solvents, and nitrile organic solvents.
[0017] In some embodiments, the ether organic solvent includes one of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME), diethylene glycol dibutyl ether, 2-trifluoromethylhexafluoropropyl methyl ether, 2-trifluoromethylhexafluoropropyl ethyl ether, 2-trifluoromethylhexafluoropropyl propyl ether, 3-trifluoromethyloctafluorobutyl methyl ether, 3-trifluoromethyloctafluorobutyl ethyl ether, 3-trifluoromethyloctafluorobutyl propyl ether, 4-trifluoromethyldecafluoropentyl methyl ether, 4-trifluoromethyldecafluoropentyl ethyl ether, 4-trifluoromethyldecafluoropentyl propyl ether, 5-trifluoromethyldodecylfluorohexyl methyl ether, 5-trifluoromethyldodecylfluorohexyl ethyl ether, 5-trifluoromethyldodecylfluorohexyl propyl ether, 6-trifluoromethyltetradecylfluoroheptyl methyl ether, 6-trifluoromethyltetradecylfluoroheptyl ethyl ether, 6-trifluoromethyltetradecylfluoroheptyl propyl ether, 7-trifluoromethylhexadecylfluorooctyl methyl ether, 7-trifluoromethylhexadecylfluorooctyl ethyl ether, and 7-trifluoromethylhexadecylfluorooctyl propyl ether.
[0018] Therefore, the weak polarity of ether-based organic solvents reduces lithium salt solvation, decreases the proportion of solvated sheath, and results in a denser SEI film.
[0019] For example, the first additive, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether, can act as a diluent. Through the inductive effect between electronegative fluorine and positively charged hydrogen, a solvent-solvent dipole-dipole interaction exists between it and DME, effectively regulating the solvation structure of Li ions, adjusting the kinetics and electrochemical stability of the Li ion-solvent-anion complex, and improving cycling performance. Furthermore, the second additive, such as isosorbide dinitrate, has good solubility in ether solvents like DME. The synergistic effect of these three additives results in a stable electrolyte system.
[0020] In some embodiments, the lithium salt includes one or more of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, lithium bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfonylimide, lithium bis(pentafluoroethylsulfonyl)imide, lithium (fluorosulfonyl)(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and lithium hexafluorophosphate.
[0021] In some embodiments, the concentration of lithium salt in the electrolyte is 1.8 mol / L to 2.2 mol / L.
[0022] In some embodiments, the carbonaceous material comprises 96% to 97% of the active material film. Thus, the negative electrode active material is primarily carbonaceous, which not only exhibits good performance in lithium ion extraction and insertion but also shows minimal volume change and good structural stability.
[0023] In some embodiments, in the Raman spectrum of carbonaceous materials, I d / I g The value is 0.83–0.88, I d This indicates that the Raman displacement is at 1300 cm. -1 ~1400cm-1 The d-peak intensity within the range, I g This indicates that the Raman shift is at 1530 cm. -1 ~1630cm -1 The intensity of the g peak within the range.
[0024] Therefore, based on the above electrolyte, combined with I d / I g Within the aforementioned range of carbonaceous materials, the defect sites of the carbonaceous materials can provide active sites for the second additive, promoting the second additive to be uniformly reduced and decomposed on the surface of the carbonaceous materials at a faster rate, forming lithium nitrogen oxides that participate in the formation of SEI, improving the stability of the SEI film, and reducing the decomposition of the electrolyte. When the two are used together, a battery cell with better cycle performance can be obtained.
[0025] In some embodiments, the BET specific surface area of the carbonaceous material is 1.5–1.7 cm². 2 / g.
[0026] Therefore, the BET specific surface area of carbonaceous materials within the above range is conducive to the penetration of electrolyte into the interior of the active material, reducing the time for electrolyte to wet the active material, shortening the lithium ion transport path, increasing the initial SEI film formation rate, and building a solid interface layer between the electrolyte and the active material at a faster speed, thereby improving cycle performance.
[0027] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the carbonaceous material is 9.8 μm to 10.7 μm. Therefore, the carbonaceous material with an average particle size within this range can achieve a higher compaction density.
[0028] In some embodiments, the carbonaceous material includes one or more of natural graphite, artificial graphite, mesophase microcarbon spheres, soft carbon, and hard carbon.
[0029] In some embodiments, the battery cell further includes a positive electrode sheet, which comprises a current collector and a positive electrode active material film layer stacked together. The positive electrode active material film layer comprises lithium iron phosphate, a conductive agent, a binder, and a dispersant in a mass ratio of (96-98):(0.5-2):(0.5-2):(0-1.0). Therefore, based on the above-mentioned electrolyte and negative electrode sheet, the addition of the above-mentioned positive electrode sheet can yield a battery cell with superior cycle performance at both room temperature (25°C) and high temperature (45°C).

[0051] The secondary battery cell mentioned in the embodiments of this disclosure can independently perform charge and discharge functions. After discharge, it can be reactivated by charging to allow for continued use. The secondary battery cell can be cylindrical, cuboid, or other shapes, and the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this regard.

[0052] The secondary battery cells provided in the embodiments of this disclosure may include, but are not limited to, lithium battery cells and sodium battery cells, such as lithium-ion battery cells, sodium-ion battery cells, lithium metal battery cells, sodium metal battery cells, etc. The secondary battery cells provided in the embodiments of this disclosure include electrode assemblies.

A battery cell assembly may include multiple secondary battery cells connected in series, parallel, or mixed connections via a busbar. In some embodiments, the battery cell assembly is typically formed by arranging multiple secondary battery cells.
[0055] As an example, a battery cell assembly can be a battery module, which is formed by arranging and fixing multiple secondary battery cells together to form an independent module. As another example, a battery module can be formed by bundling multiple secondary battery cells together with cable ties. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a battery module as an example.
[0056] In some embodiments, the battery device may be a battery pack, which includes a housing and one or more individual battery cells housed within the housing.
[0057] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module, and the battery cell assembly can be housed in the housing by fixing the battery module in the housing.

As an example, the housing may include a first housing and a second housing. The first and second housings are fastened together to form a closed space inside the housing for accommodating the battery cell assembly. Here, "closed" refers to covering or shutting off; it can be sealed or not sealed. The first housing may be a top cover or a bottom plate.
[0059] As an example, the enclosure may include a top cover, a frame, and a bottom plate. The top cover and bottom plate are connected to the frame, creating an enclosed space inside the enclosure to house the individual battery cells.
[0060] In some embodiments, the housing may be part of the vehicle's chassis structure. For example, a portion of the housing may be at least a part of the vehicle's floor, or a portion of the housing may be at least a part of the vehicle's crossbeams and longitudinal beams.

[0062] During the charging and discharging process of a battery, an SEI film is formed on the surface of the negative electrode. The SEI film is a passivation layer formed by the reaction of organic solvents and electrolyte salts on the surface of the negative electrode, which reduces the direct contact between the electrolyte and the active material of the negative electrode. During the formation of the SEI film, the electrolyte salts participate in the reaction, which causes the loss of lithium ions and affects the cycle performance. Therefore, the quality of the SEI film formation affects the performance of the battery.
[0063] In view of the above problems, this application proposes a battery cell, which includes a negative electrode and an electrolyte. The negative electrode includes a current collector and an active material film layer containing active material particles stacked on top of each other. The active material particles include carbonaceous materials. The electrolyte includes lithium salt, organic solvent, and additives. The additives include a first additive and a second additive. The first additive includes a hydrofluoroether compound, which can reduce the lithium-ion solvation ratio and generate a more stable SEI film. The second additive has a general structural formula including NO3-R1, where R1 includes substituted or unsubstituted carbon-containing heterocycles, which are reduced and decomposed on the surface of the carbonaceous material to generate lithium nitrogen oxides. The lithium nitrogen oxides participate in the formation of the SEI film, filling the pores or defects of the SEI film, further increasing the inorganic content of the SEI film while improving the density and stability of the SEI film. Thus, a dense, stable composite SEI film with a high inorganic content is formed on the surface of the carbonaceous material, forming a stable interface layer between the carbonaceous material and the organic solvent, reducing side reactions between the carbonaceous material and the electrolyte, reducing lithium consumption, and improving cycle performance. On the other hand, composite SEI films with high inorganic content can reduce the transmission impedance of lithium ions through the SEI film and increase the rate of lithium ion extraction and insertion in carbonaceous materials, thereby improving cycle performance.
[0064] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will now be described in detail.
[0065] battery cell
[0066] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application propose a battery cell, which includes a negative electrode and an electrolyte. The negative electrode includes a current collector and an active material film containing active material particles stacked together, the active material particles including carbonaceous materials. The electrolyte includes lithium salt, organic solvent and additives. The additives include a first additive and a second additive. The first additive includes a hydrofluoroether compound. The second additive has a general structural formula including NO3-R1, wherein R1 includes substituted or unsubstituted carbon-containing heterocycles.
[0067] In electrolytes, lithium ions undergo solvation to form a solvation sheath. Anions preferentially participate in the formation of the SEI film by reducing and decomposing solvent molecules on the carbonaceous material surface. When solvated lithium ions intercalate at the interface, they easily induce solvent molecule intercalation, leading to SEI film instability. The first additive in the electrolyte, a hydrofluoroether compound, can reduce the proportion of lithium ion solvation, resulting in a more stable SEI film. Furthermore, a second additive containing a carbon-containing heterocyclic nitrate group is added. This second additive is reduced and decomposed on the carbonaceous material surface to form lithium oxide nitrides. These lithium oxide nitrides participate in SEI film formation, filling the pores or defects of the SEI film. This further increases the inorganic content of the SEI film while improving its density and stability. Thus, a dense, stable, and high-inorganic-content composite SEI film is formed on the carbonaceous material surface, creating a stable interface layer between the carbonaceous material and the organic solvent. This reduces side reactions between the carbonaceous material and the electrolyte, lowers lithium consumption, and improves cycle performance. On the other hand, composite SEI films with high inorganic content can reduce the transmission impedance of lithium ions through the SEI film and increase the rate of lithium ion extraction and insertion in carbonaceous materials, thereby improving cycle performance.
[0068] Electrolyte
[0069] In some embodiments, the battery cell includes an electrolyte comprising a lithium salt, an organic solvent, and an additive; the additive includes a first additive and a second additive, the first additive comprising a hydrofluoroether compound; the second additive has a general structural formula including NO3-R1, wherein R1 comprises a substituted or unsubstituted carbon-containing heterocycle.
[0070] In electrolytes, lithium ions undergo solvation to form a solvation sheath. Anions preferentially participate in the formation of the SEI film by reducing and decomposing solvent molecules on the carbonaceous material surface. When solvated lithium ions intercalate at the interface, they easily induce solvent molecule intercalation, leading to SEI film instability. The first additive in the electrolyte, a hydrofluoroether compound, can reduce the proportion of lithium ion solvation, resulting in a more stable SEI film. Furthermore, a second additive containing a carbon-containing heterocyclic nitrate group is added. This second additive is reduced and decomposed on the carbonaceous material surface to form lithium oxide nitrides. These lithium oxide nitrides participate in SEI film formation, filling the pores or defects of the SEI film. This further increases the inorganic content of the SEI film while improving its density and stability. Thus, a dense, stable, and high-inorganic-content composite SEI film is formed on the carbonaceous material surface, creating a stable interface layer between the carbonaceous material and the organic solvent. This reduces side reactions between the carbonaceous material and the electrolyte, lowers lithium consumption, and improves cycle performance. On the other hand, composite SEI films with high inorganic content can reduce the transmission impedance of lithium ions through the SEI film and increase the rate of lithium ion extraction and insertion in carbonaceous materials, thereby improving cycle performance.
[0071] In the embodiments of this application, the types and contents of organic components in the electrolyte are defined in the art and 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 using 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, or a fully discharged battery (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 using ion chromatography.
[0072] For example, when testing the composition of an additive in an electrolyte using liquid chromatography-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), taking the detection of hydrofluoroether compounds such as 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether as an example, a 7ml glass bottle is prepared in a nitrogen-filled glove box. 5ml of NMR reagent premix is added to the bottle, and the mixture is left to stand at room temperature (20-25°C) for 4 hours in the nitrogen-filled glove box. This allows the electrolyte in the electrode and separator to diffuse into the NMR premix, thus obtaining the NMR test sample. The NMR premix consists of 100ml of deuterated acetonitrile with 3ml of trifluoromethylbenzene CF3ph. This NMR reagent premix is pre-dried using molecular sieve 4A (100ml of NMR reagent premix is added to 15g of freshly opened 4A molecular sieve and dried in a nitrogen-filled glove box at room temperature (20-25°C) for more than 30 days). Measurements were performed using 19F NMR (NMR: Bruker Avance 400HD).
[0073] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of the first additive to the organic solvent is 1:(0.6 to 0.7).
[0074] The volume ratio of the first additive to the organic solvent is within the above range, which gives the electrolyte a suitable viscosity, enhances the interaction between lithium ions and anions, and increases the rate at which anions participate in the SEI film, so as to obtain an SEI film with high inorganic salt content.
[0075] For example, the ratio of the first additive to the organic solvent can be 1:0.60, 1:0.61, 1:0.62, 1:0.63, 1:0.64, 1:0.65, 1:0.66, 1:0.67, 1:0.68, 1:0.69, 1:0.70, or any range of two of the above values.
[0076] In some embodiments, the concentration of the second additive in the electrolyte is 0.33 mol / L to 0.37 mol / L.
[0077] The second additive is a carbon-containing heterocyclic substance with a nitrate group. It has high solubility in the electrolyte, allowing for the acquisition of the second additive within the aforementioned concentration range. A molar concentration of the second additive within this range ensures an appropriate amount of lithium oxide nitride in the SEI film. Lithium oxide nitride exhibits high lithium-ion conductivity, achieving good lithium-ion conductivity while forming a dense SEI film. However, excessively high concentrations of the second additive slow down lithium-ion migration, increasing battery polarization and negatively impacting cycle performance.
[0078] For example, the concentration of the second additive in the electrolyte can be 0.330 mol / L, 0.335 mol / L, 0.340 mol / L, 0.345 mol / L, 0.350 mol / L, 0.355 mol / L, 0.360 mol / L, 0.365 mol / L, 0.370 mol / L, or any range of two of the above values.
[0079] In some embodiments, the number of carbon atoms in the carbon-containing heterocyclic ring in the general structural formula of the second additive is 3 to 8.
[0080] The second additive containing carbon heterocycles with the number of carbon atoms within the above range has high solubility in the electrolyte, so as to obtain a second additive with a concentration of 0.33 mol / L to 0.37 mol / L.
[0081] For example, the number of carbon atoms in a carbon-containing heterocycle can be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or any range of two of the above values.
[0082] In some embodiments, the carbon-containing heterocycle in the general structural formula of the second additive includes a substituent, which includes a nitrate group.
[0083] The second additive molecule, which includes at least two nitrate groups, can be reduced and decomposed to obtain more lithium nitrogen oxides under the same molar amount. This not only has high utilization rate, but can also further increase the inorganic component content of the SEI membrane and improve cycle performance.
[0084] In some embodiments, the second additive includes one or more of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) and isosorbide 5-mononitrate.
[0085] In some embodiments, the hydrofluoroether compound includes one or more of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether, bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl methyl ether, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ethyl ether, and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether.
[0086] For example, the first additive, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether, can be used as a diluent.

[0096] [Negative electrode plate]
[0097] A single battery cell includes a negative electrode and an electrolyte. The negative electrode includes a current collector stacked on top of a film containing active material particles, which include carbonaceous materials.
[0098] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of carbonaceous material in the active material film layer is 96% to 97%.
[0099] The main active material of the negative electrode is carbonaceous material. Carbonaceous materials not only have good performance in extracting and inserting lithium ions, but also have small volume change and good structural stability.
[0100] For example, the mass fraction of carbonaceous material in the active material film layer can be 96.00%, 96.05%, 96.10%, 96.15%, 96.20%, 96.25%, 96.30%, 96.35%, 96.40%, 96.45%, 96.50%, 96.55%, 96.60%, 96.65%, 96.70%, 96.75%, 96.80%, 96.85%, 96.90%, 96.95%, 97.00%, or a range of any two of the above values.
[0101] In some embodiments, in the Raman spectrum of carbonaceous materials, I d / I g The value is 0.83–0.88, I d This indicates that the Raman displacement is at 1300 cm. -1 ~1400cm -1 The d-peak intensity within the range, where Ig represents the Raman shift at 1530 cm⁻¹. -1 ~1630cm -1 The intensity of the g peak within the range.
[0102] Based on the above electrolyte, carbonaceous materials with Id / Ig within the above range are combined. The defect sites of the carbonaceous materials can provide active sites for the second additive, promoting the uniform reduction and decomposition of the second additive on the surface of the carbonaceous materials at a faster rate, forming lithium nitrogen oxides to participate in the formation of SEI, improving the stability of the SEI film, and reducing the decomposition of the electrolyte. The two work together to obtain battery cells with better cycle performance.
[0103] For example, I d / I g It can be 0.83, 0.84, 0.85, 0.86, 0.87, 0.88, or a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0104] In the embodiments of this application, I d / I gAs is known in the art, detection can be performed using equipment and methods known in the art. As a specific example, the Raman spectrum of carbonaceous materials can be tested using a Raman spectrometer. During testing, the d-peak intensity and g-peak intensity of 100 points are acquired, and the Id / Ig ratio of these 100 points is calculated. The 30 highest and 30 lowest Id / Ig values are removed, and the average of the remaining 40 Id / Ig values is taken as the Id / Ig ratio of the carbonaceous material. The testing instrument can be a Horiba LabRAM HR800 Raman spectrometer. The testing conditions can be: excitation wavelength 532 nm, grating 600 lines, objective lens 50x, integration time 10 s, cumulative scan 3 times, and area scan.
[0105] In some embodiments, the BET specific surface area of the carbonaceous material is 1.5–1.7 cm². 2 / g.
[0106] The BET specific surface area of carbonaceous materials within the above range is conducive to the penetration of electrolyte into the interior of the active material, reducing the time for electrolyte to wet the active material, shortening the lithium ion transport path, increasing the initial SEI film formation rate, and building a solid interface layer between the electrolyte and the active material at a faster speed, thereby improving cycle performance.
[0107] For example, the BET specific surface area of carbonaceous materials can be 1.5 cm². 2 / g, 1.55cm 2 / g, 1.60cm 2 / g, 1.65cm 2 / g, 1.7cm 2 / g or a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0108] In this application, specific surface area has a meaning known in the art and can be detected using equipment and methods known in the art. As a specific example, carbonaceous material is dried in a vacuum drying oven at 200°C for 2 hours; then, nitrogen or argon is used as the adsorption gas, and adsorption-desorption curves with relative pressure P / P0 of 0–0.99 are plotted using a specific surface area and porosity analyzer. The BET specific surface area of the carbonaceous material is calculated using the BET method. When the test sample is a negative electrode sheet, the active material layer can be dissolved using a suitable solvent, ultrasonically dispersed, and the conductive agent particles removed by centrifugation. The resulting powder is then dried to obtain the negative electrode active material powder, and the specific surface area of the negative electrode active material is tested using the above-described testing method.
[0109] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the carbonaceous material is 9.8 μm to 10.7 μm. The carbonaceous material with an average particle size within this range can also achieve a higher compaction density.
[0110] For example, the average particle size Dv50 of the carbonaceous material can be 9.8 μm, 9.9 μm, 10.0 μm, 10.1 μm, 10.2 μm, 10.3 μm, 10.4 μm, 10.5 μm, 10.6 μm, 10.7 μm or any range of two of the above values.
[0111] In this application, Dv50 has a well-known meaning in the art and can be detected using well-known equipment and methods. Relevant detection methods can refer to domestic and international testing standards and enterprise standards. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can adapt certain detection steps / instrument parameters from the perspective of detection accuracy to obtain more accurate results. Particle size distribution can be conveniently determined using a laser particle size analyzer, such as the Mastersizer 2000E laser particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments Ltd., UK, according to GB / T 19077-2016, laser diffraction method. The specific principle is that the particle sample is dispersed at an appropriate concentration in a suitable liquid and gas, and then passed through a monochromatic beam (usually a laser). When the light encounters the particles, it scatters at different angles. A multi-element detector measures the scattered light, stores these values related to the scattering pattern, and uses them for subsequent analysis. Through appropriate optical models and mathematical processes, these quantified scattering data are converted to obtain a series of discrete particle size ranges representing the percentage of particle volume relative to the total particle volume, thus obtaining the particle size volume distribution, where Dv50 is the average particle size volume distribution.

[0166] Lithium-ion batteries were prepared using a method similar to that of Example 1, except that the electrolyte did not contain the first additive HFE.
[0167] Performance testing
[0168] 1. Cyclic test at room temperature (25℃)
[0169] At 25℃, fresh battery cells were placed on a high-temperature chamber for testing. The cells were sequentially charged to 3.65V at a power of 0.5P, allowed to rest for 30 minutes, and then charged to 3.65V at a constant power of 0.05P, and allowed to rest for another 30 minutes. After charging, the cells were discharged to 2.5V at a constant current of 0.5P. This completed one charge-discharge cycle. This process was repeated until the discharge capacity decreased to 80%, and the number of cycles was recorded.
[0170] 2. Cyclic test at high temperature (45℃)
[0171] Fresh battery cells were placed in a high-temperature chamber at 45℃ for testing. The cells were charged sequentially at 0.5P to 3.65V, allowed to rest for 30 minutes, and then charged again at a constant power of 0.05P to 3.65V, and allowed to rest for 30 minutes. After charging, the cells were discharged at a constant current of 0.5P to 2.5V, thus completing one full charge-discharge cycle. This process was repeated until the discharge capacity decreased to 80%, and the number of cycles was recorded.
[0172] The performance test results are shown in Table 1.
[0173] Table 1:
[0174]
[0175] As shown in Table 1, the battery cells of Examples 1-10 of this application exhibit superior cycle performance compared to the comparative examples. This demonstrates that the combination of the negative electrode active material and electrolyte in this application can improve the cycle performance of the battery cells. A dense, stable, and inorganic-rich composite SEI film is formed on the surface of carbonaceous materials such as graphite negative electrodes, creating a stable interface layer between the carbonaceous materials and organic solvents. This reduces side reactions between the carbonaceous materials and the electrolyte, lowers lithium consumption, and thus improves cycle performance. Comparative Example 1 did not contain ISDN in its electrolyte, and Comparative Example 2 did not contain HFE in its electrolyte; both showed inferior cycle performance compared to the examples.
[0176] Although illustrative embodiments have been demonstrated and described, those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present application, and that changes, substitutions and modifications can be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit, principles and scope of the present application.
