Technical field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of a battery cell, in particular a battery cell, a battery unit and an electrical device. State of the art
[0002] In recent years, battery cells have been widely used in energy storage systems for hydropower, firepower, wind power and solar power plants, as well as in power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and many other areas.
[0003] With increasing market demands for both the range and energy efficiency of electrical appliances, the requirements for the energy density and fast-charging capability of battery cells are also rising. However, with current technologies, it is difficult to improve these properties simultaneously, which has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. Description of the invention
[0004] The present application is carried out taking into account the above-mentioned task and aims to provide a battery cell that has both a high energy density and good fast-charging capability.
[0005] A first aspect of the present application provides a battery cell comprising a positive electrode plate and an electrolyte solution. The positive electrode plate comprises a positive current collector and a positive active layer located on at least one surface of the positive current collector. The positive active layer comprises a positive active material containing lithium phosphate. The one-sided areal density of the positive active layer is 230 mg / 1540.25 mm². 2 ~ 400 mg / 1540.25 mm 2The electrolyte solution contains a solvent and a lithium-containing electrolyte salt, wherein the solvent comprises a chain-like carboxylic acid ester and an ethylene carbonate, and the lithium-containing electrolyte salt comprises one or more lithium hexafluorophosphate and fluorine-containing sulfonylimide salts, wherein the mass ratio between the lithium-containing electrolyte salt and the ethylene carbonate is 0.29 - 0.72, and wherein the conductivity of the electrolyte solution is 13 mS / cm - 20 mS / cm.
[0006] Ethylene carbonate and lithium ions in lithium-containing electrolyte salts readily form solvated structures in the electrolyte solution, thereby increasing the dissociation rate of lithium ions and anions. However, with increasing ethylene carbonate content, the viscosity of the electrolyte solution also increases, negatively impacting its conductivity. Chain-like carboxylic acid esters can improve the wettability between the electrolyte solution and the electrode plate, thereby increasing the solid-liquid transport rate of lithium ions between the electrolyte solution and the electrode plate. Simultaneously, the addition of chain-like carboxylic acid esters also contributes to improving the conductivity of the electrolyte solution.A positive electrode plate made of lithium-containing phosphate with a one-sided areal density within the aforementioned range exhibits both a high solid-phase lithium ion transport rate and a high loading of the positive active material. In combination with the aforementioned electrolyte solution, the battery cell has a tailored lithium ion dissociation rate, lithium ion liquid-phase transport rate, lithium ion liquid-solid transport rate, and lithium ion solid-phase transport rate. The mutual coordination of these individual steps achieves a balance between the fast-charging capability and energy density of the battery cell.
[0007] In one embodiment, the mass ratio of ethylene carbonate to the chain-like carboxylic acid ester in the electrolyte solution is 0.26:1 - 1:1.
[0008] The mass ratio of ethylene carbonate to the aforementioned chain-like carboxylic acid ester within the above-mentioned range ensures that the electrolyte solution simultaneously exhibits a suitable viscosity, conductivity, as well as a good dissociation rate and wettability, which benefits the improvement of the fast-charging capability of the battery cell.
[0009] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of the chain-like carboxylic acid ester, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is 25.5% - 63.75%.
[0010] Electrolyte solutions with a mass fraction of chain-like carboxylic acid esters within the above-mentioned range exhibit good conductivity, wettability and chemical stability, which contributes to a comprehensive improvement in the fast-charging capability and cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0011] In one embodiment, the chain-like carboxylic acid ester has the general structural formula R1-COO-R2, wherein R1 and R2 each independently comprise one or more of C1~C5 alkyl and C1-C5 haloalkyl.
[0012] In one embodiment, the chain-like carboxylic acid ester comprises one or more of ethyl butyrate, ethyl propionate, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate and methyl formate.
[0013] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of ethylene carbonate, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is 17% - 34%.
[0014] Electrolyte solutions with an ethylene carbonate content within the above-mentioned range exhibit good viscosity, dissociation rate and conductivity, which contributes to a comprehensive improvement in the fast-charging properties of the battery cell.
[0015] In one embodiment, the lithium-containing electrolyte salt comprises lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF6.
[0016] In one embodiment, the lithium-containing electrolyte salt also comprises at least one of the fluorosulfonylimide salts; optionally, the fluorosulfonylimide salt comprises one or more lithium difluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI) and lithium trifluoromethylsulfonylimide (LiTFSI). Fluorosulfonylimide salts tend to decompose readily in electrolyte solutions, which advantageously increases the conductivity of the electrolyte solution. Furthermore, fluorosulfonylimide salts exhibit high chemical stability, do not decompose readily during cycle operation, reduce the formation of hydrogen fluoride during the battery cycle, and decrease the likelihood of side reactions at the negative electrode, thereby increasing the cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0017] In one embodiment, the lithium-containing electrolyte salt comprises lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI) and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), wherein the mass ratio of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide to lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in the electrolyte solution (2-5) is 10.
[0018] Battery cells with a mass ratio of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in the electrolyte solution within the above-mentioned range can ensure both fast charging capability and battery cell safety.
[0019] In one embodiment, the battery cell also includes a negative electrode plate comprising a negative collector and a negative active layer arranged on at least one side of the negative current collector, wherein the negative active layer comprises a negative active material whose volume distribution of particle size Dv10 negativ3.5 µm - 7.5 µm, optionally 4.5 µm - 6.5 µm, where Dv99 negativ 25 µm - 35 µm.
[0020] The negative active material with Dv10 negativ and Dv99 negativ Within the aforementioned area, it contains a certain proportion of both small and large particles, which means that in the battery cell, the small particles increase the transfer rate of lithium ions and improve the fast charging capability, while the size distribution of the particles increases the compaction density of the electrode plate of the battery cell, improves the energy density of the battery cell, and allows a balance between fast charging capability and energy density to be achieved.
[0021] In one embodiment, the electrolyte solution also contains additives, wherein the additives comprise at least one of the following: carbonate ester additives, sulfur-containing additives, and lithium salt additives. The lithium salt additives comprise one or more of lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO₂F₂), lithium difluorooxaloborate (LiDFOB), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF₄), and lithium diborate (LiBOB).
[0022] The additives mentioned above are all film-forming additives that can preferably form a film on the surface of the negative active layer in the electrolyte solution in front of the solvents and lithium-containing electrolyte salts, thus improving the electrochemical performance of the battery cell.
[0023] The SEI membrane components formed by carbonate ester additives consist mainly of organic components and exhibit excellent toughness, thus improving the cycle stability of the battery cell. SEI membrane components formed by sulfur-containing additives exhibit excellent thermal and chemical stability, compensating for the shortcomings of the organic components and improving the battery cell's storage performance at high temperatures. Lithium salt additives can address the problem of insufficient lithium ions at high charging speeds, improve the stability of the SEI layer, and simultaneously replenish lithium.
[0024] In one embodiment, the additives comprise at least two of the following additives: carbonate ester additives, sulfur-containing additives, and lithium salt additives.
[0025] The interaction of two or more components improves the overall performance of the battery cell during fast charging.
[0026] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of the additive in the electrolyte solution, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is 1% to 10%, optionally 2% to 8%, and further optionally 3.5% to 8%.

[0029] In one embodiment, the additive comprises vinyl carbonate VC, wherein the mass fraction of vinyl carbonate VC in the electrolyte solution, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is 0.5% to 9%, optionally 2% to 6%.
[0030] Chain-like carboxylic acid esters exhibit high activity, improve wettability between the electrolyte solution and the electrode plate, increase the conductivity of the electrolyte solution, and can simultaneously attack the solid-state electrolyte membrane (SEI membrane). Vinyl carbonate (VC) has a similar reduction potential to chain-like carboxylic acid esters, can inhibit the reactivity of chain-like carboxylic acid esters, and improve the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0031] In one embodiment, the additive comprises fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), wherein the mass fraction of the fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in the electrolyte solution, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is 0.1% to 4%, optionally 0.5% to 3%.
[0032] Excessive vinyl carbonate (VC) content can increase the battery's interfacial resistance and charge transfer resistance, negatively impacting its fast-charging capability. Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) can also form a membrane on the negative electrode surface at higher electrical potentials and exhibits low interfacial resistance and charge transfer resistance. However, the high-temperature stability of the SEI membrane formed by FEC is poor, adversely affecting the battery cell's stability in high-temperature environments. Adding both vinyl carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) to the electrolyte solution effectively balances the battery cell's fast-charging capability with its high-temperature stability.
[0033] In one embodiment, the electrolyte solution comprises vinyl carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate, wherein the ratio of the total mass of vinyl carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) to the mass of the chain-like carboxylic acid ester is 0.008 - 0.5.
[0034] The combination of vinyl carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) reduces the erosion of the SEI membrane by chain-like carboxylic acid esters in the electrolyte solution, effectively ensuring both the fast charging capability and the storage stability of the battery cell.
[0035] In one embodiment, the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte solution is 14 mS / cm - 20 mS / cm, optionally 15 mS / cm - 20 mS / cm.
[0036] An electrolyte solution with an electrical conductivity within the above-mentioned range can better balance the fast charging capability and the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0037] In one embodiment, the one-sided areal density of the positive active layer is 280 mg / 1540.25 mm². 2 ~ 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 .

[0106] Unless otherwise specified, the term "or" in this application is to be understood inclusively. For example, the phrase "A or B" means "A, B, or both A and B." More precisely, each of the following conditions satisfies the condition "A or B": A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist); A is false (or does not exist) and B is true (or exists); or both A and B are true (or exist). Fast-charging technology aims to reduce the time required to charge the battery. This is achieved primarily by increasing the charging current and speed so that active ions can be rapidly inserted into and removed from the active material layer. High-energy-density batteries typically have a high areal density in the active material layer.However, a high areal density can impair the storage / release rate of active ions in the battery cell, thus reducing the battery cell's fast-charging capability. Therefore, fast-charging capability and energy density of a battery cell often represent seemingly contradictory requirements.
[0107] Based on this, the first aspect of this application provides a battery cell comprising a positive electrode plate and an electrolyte solution. The positive electrode plate comprises a positive current collector and a positive active layer located on at least one surface of the positive current collector. The positive active layer comprises a positive active material containing lithium phosphate. The one-sided areal density of the positive active layer is 230 mg / 1540.25 mm². 2 ~ 400 mg / 1540.25 mm 2The electrolyte solution contains a solvent and a lithium-containing electrolyte salt, wherein the solvent comprises a chain-like carboxylic acid ester and an ethylene carbonate, and the lithium-containing electrolyte salt comprises one or more lithium hexafluorophosphate and fluorine-containing sulfonylimide salts, wherein the mass ratio between the lithium-containing electrolyte salt and the ethylene carbonate is 0.29 - 0.72, and wherein the conductivity of the electrolyte solution is 13 mS / cm - 20 mS / cm.
[0108] In this application, “the one-sided areal density of the positive active layer” refers to the mass of the positive active layer per unit area on one side of the current collector.
[0109] In this application, the areal density of the positive active layer on one side can be tested using methods known in this field. For example, a cold-pressed, one-sided coated positive electrode plate (in the case of double-sided coated positive electrode plates, the positive active layer can first be wiped off one side) can be punched out into small, round discs with an area of S1, the mass of which is weighed and recorded as M1. Subsequently, the positive membrane layer of the aforementioned weighed positive electrode plate is wiped off, and the mass of the positive current collector is weighed and recorded as M0. The areal density of the positive electrode plate on one side is then calculated as (M1-M0) / S1.
[0110] In some embodiments, the one-sided areal density of the positive active layer can optionally be 230 mg / 1540.25 mm². 2 , 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 250 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 260 mg / 1540.25 mm2 , 270 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 280 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 290 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 300 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 310 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 325 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 340 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 350 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 360 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 375 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 400 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 or a range of values between any two values.
[0111] Lithium phosphate is an active material with an olivine structure containing lithium ions and phosphate groups. The nature of this positive active material can be tested using any method known in this field. For example, analysis can be performed using phase analysis techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) in combination with elemental analysis methods such as energy spectroscopy and XPS.
[0112] The type and quality of the solvents and lithium-containing electrolyte salts in the electrolyte solution can be determined by electrolyte analysis using established methods. For example, the electrolyte composition can be measured by liquid chromatography, UV spectrophotometry, UV-Vis photometry, etc. One method involves disassembling a battery cell, extracting the free electrolyte solution, diluting it 3- to 10-fold with acetonitrile to obtain the dilute electrolyte solution for testing, and using a GC-MS 3100 gas chromatograph for organic compounds to sample the diluted electrolyte solution and perform a complete qualitative analysis by scanning. The sampling temperature is 250 °C, and the scan range is 35 µm to 270 µm.After completion of the analysis, a complete ion chromatogram of the individual organic substances is obtained. Based on the position of the peaks in the chromatogram, the corresponding organic substances are identified, and the percentage of each organic substance is calculated based on the peak area. For example, the concentration of inorganic substances in the electrolyte solution can be tested using an ion chromatograph (IC). For this purpose, a quantitative electrolyte solution (with a dilution concentration in the middle of the standard curve) is weighed out, made up to 100 mL with ultrapure water, and an automated sample is taken for testing by ion chromatography. The ion chromatogram of inorganic substances is then analyzed, and the corresponding types of inorganic substances are identified based on the peak position in the chromatogram.
[0113] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of lithium-containing electrolyte salt to ethylene carbonate can be 0.29, 0.31, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55, 0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.72 or a range between any two of these values.
[0114] The conductivity of an electrolyte solution is its ability to describe the electrical conduction process that arises from the directed movement of positive and negative ions in a dissociated electrolyte solution within an electric field. It can be measured using any known method in this field. For example, approximately 100 mL of electrolyte solution sample is placed in a dry, clean, and corrosion-resistant sample container, which is tightly sealed and placed in a water bath at constant temperature. The sample is shaken periodically and brought to a temperature of 25 °C (within a tolerance of ±5 °C). Once the sample temperature has stabilized, its conductivity is measured using a standard conductivity meter.The conductivity meter is thoroughly cleaned with a calibration fluid, immersed vertically in the liquid to be measured, the test is started with a click and the test results are recorded after a stabilization time of at least 10 seconds.
[0115] In some embodiments, the conductivity of the electrolyte solution can optionally be 13 mS / cm, 14 mS / cm, 15 mS / cm, 16 mS / cm, 17 mS / cm, 18 mS / cm, 19 mS / cm, 20 mS / cm, 21 mS / cm, 22 mS / cm, 23 mS / cm, 24 mS / cm, 25 mS / cm or a range between any two of these values.
[0116] Ethylene carbonate and lithium ions in lithium-containing electrolyte salts readily form solvated structures in the electrolyte solution, thereby increasing the dissociation rate of lithium ions and anions. However, with increasing ethylene carbonate content, the viscosity of the electrolyte solution also increases, negatively impacting its conductivity. Chain-like carboxylic acid esters can improve the wettability between the electrolyte solution and the electrode plate, thereby increasing the solid-liquid transport rate of lithium ions between the electrolyte solution and the electrode plate. Simultaneously, the addition of chain-like carboxylic acid esters also contributes to improving the conductivity of the electrolyte solution.A positive electrode plate made of lithium-containing phosphate with a one-sided areal density within the aforementioned range exhibits both a high solid-phase lithium ion transport rate and a high loading of the positive active material. In combination with the aforementioned electrolyte solution, the battery cell has a tailored lithium ion dissociation rate, lithium ion liquid-phase transport rate, lithium ion liquid-solid transport rate, and lithium ion solid-phase transport rate. The mutual coordination of these individual steps achieves a balance between the fast-charging capability and energy density of the battery cell.
[0117] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of ethylene carbonate to the chain-like carboxylic acid ester in the electrolyte solution is 0.26:1 to 1:1.
[0118] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of ethylene carbonate to the chain-like carboxylic acid ester in the electrolyte solution can optionally be 0.26:1, 0.30:1, 0.36:1, 0.40:1, 0.46:1, 0.50:1, 0.56:1, 0.60:1, 0.66:1, 0.70:1, 0.76:1, 0.80:1, 0.86:1, 0.90:1, 0.96:1, 1:1 or a range between any two values.
[0119] The mass ratio of ethylene carbonate to the aforementioned chain-like carboxylic acid ester within the above-mentioned range ensures that the electrolyte solution simultaneously exhibits a suitable viscosity, conductivity, as well as a good dissociation rate and wettability, which benefits the improvement of the fast-charging capability of the battery cell.
[0120] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the chain-like carboxylic acid ester is 25.5% to 63.75%, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution.
[0121] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the chain-like carboxylic acid ester, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, can optionally be 25.5%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 63.75% or a range between any two values.
[0122] Electrolyte solutions with a mass fraction of chain-like carboxylic acid esters within the above-mentioned range exhibit good conductivity, wettability and chemical stability, which contributes to a comprehensive improvement in the fast-charging capability and cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0123] In some embodiments, the chain-like carboxylic acid ester has the general structural formula R1-COO-R2, wherein R1 and R2 each independently comprise one or more of C1~C5 alkyl and C1~C5 haloalkyl.
[0124] “C1-C5 alkyl” refers to unbranched or branched alkyl groups with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, including, but not limited to, one or more of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, m-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, 2-pentyl, 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl, 2,2-dimethylpropyl, 1-ethylpropyl.
[0125] “C1~C5 halogenalkyl” refers to unbranched or branched alkyl groups with 1 to 5 carbon atoms in which at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen atom, including, but not limited to, one or more of chloroalkyl groups, bromoalkyl groups and iodoalkyl groups.
[0126] In some embodiments, the chain-like carboxylic acid ester comprises one or more of ethyl butyrate, ethyl propionate, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate and methyl formate.
[0127] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of ethylene carbonate, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is 17% - 34%.
[0128] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of ethylene carbonate, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, can optionally be 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 34% or a range between any two values.
[0129] Electrolyte solutions with an ethylene carbonate content within the above-mentioned range exhibit good viscosity, dissociation rate and conductivity, which contributes to a comprehensive improvement in the fast-charging properties of the battery cell.
[0130] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing electrolyte salt comprises lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF6.
[0131] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing electrolyte salt also comprises at least one of the fluorosulfonylimide salts; optionally, the fluorosulfonylimide salt comprises one or more of lithium difluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI) and lithium trifluoromethylsulfonylimide (LiTFSI). Fluorosulfonylimide salts tend to decompose readily in electrolyte solutions, which increases the conductivity of the electrolyte solution. Furthermore, fluorosulfonylimide salts exhibit high chemical stability, do not decompose readily during cycle operation, reduce the formation of hydrogen fluoride during the battery cycle, and decrease the likelihood of side reactions at the negative electrode, thereby increasing the cycle stability of the battery cell.However, with increasing battery cell temperature, fluorosulfonylimide salts undergo significant decomposition below a certain temperature threshold, releasing large amounts of heat and drastically increasing the risk of thermal instability. This safety risk is particularly pronounced in fast-charging batteries. Although lithium hexafluorophosphate gradually decomposes during the secondary cycle, producing hydrofluoric acid, its addition significantly reduces the risk of thermal instability, keeping the risk within a manageable range and enhancing battery safety.
[0132] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing electrolyte salt comprises lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI) and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), wherein the mass ratio of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide to lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in the electrolyte solution (2-5) is 10.
[0133] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI) and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in the electrolyte solution can be 2:10, 3:10, 4:10, 5:10, or a range between these two values. Battery cells with a mass ratio of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in the electrolyte solution within the aforementioned range can ensure both fast-charging capability and battery cell safety.
[0134] In some embodiments, the battery cell also includes a negative electrode plate comprising a negative collector and a negative active layer arranged on at least one side of the negative current collector, wherein the negative active layer comprises a negative active material whose volume distribution has a particle size Dv10 negativ 3.5 µm - 7.5 µm, optionally 4.5 µm - 6.5 µm, where Dv99 is negative 25 µm - 35 µm.
[0135] The volume distribution of particle size Dv10 negativ and Dv99 negativThe values of the negative active material are generally known in this field and denote the particle size corresponding to the cumulative volume fraction of 10% or 99%. They can be measured using equipment and methods known in this field. For example, with reference to GB / T 19077-2016 "Laser diffraction method for determining particle size distribution", the measurement can be conveniently carried out using a laser particle size analyzer. The Mastersizer 3000 laser particle analyzer from the British company Malvern Instruments Ltd. can be used as a test instrument. The negative active material can either be freshly produced or obtained by scraping the powder from the negative active layer after disassembling a secondary cell.
[0136] In some embodiments, the volume distribution of the particle size Dv10 negativThe negative active material may optionally be 3.5 µm, 4.5 µm, 5.5 µm, 6.5 µm, 7.5 µm or a range between any two values.
[0137] In some embodiments, the volume distribution of the particle size Dv99 negativ The negative active material may optionally be 25 µm, 27 µm, 30 µm, 32 µm, 35 µm or a range between any two values.
[0138] The negative active materials with Dv10 negativ and Dv99 negativWithin the aforementioned area, the cells contain a certain proportion of both small and large particles, so that the battery cell can increase the transfer rate of lithium ions and improve fast charging capability through the small particles, and also improve the compaction density of the electrode plate of the battery cell through the size distribution of the particles, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery cell and achieving a balance between fast charging capability and energy density.
[0139] In some embodiments, the electrolyte solution also contains additives, wherein the additives comprise at least one of the following: carbonate ester additives, sulfur-containing additives, and lithium salt additives. The lithium salt additives comprise one or more of lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO₂F₂), lithium difluorooxaloborate (LiDFOB), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF₄), and lithium diborate (LiBOB).
[0140] Additives are components present in small amounts in the electrolyte solution, typically comprising no more than 10% of the total mass. They are characterized by high precision and low dosage and can significantly improve battery performance within a specific range without altering the production process. The additive components can be tested using any established method in this field, such as liquid chromatography, UV spectrophotometry, or UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The composition of the electrolyte solution can also be determined using other techniques. For example, the concentration of inorganic substances in the electrolyte solution can be determined using an ion chromatograph (IC).A specific quantity of electrolyte solution (with a dilution concentration in the middle of the standard curve) is weighed out, made up to 100 mL with ultrapure water, and an automated sample is taken for testing by ion chromatography. The ion chromatogram of inorganic substances is examined, and the corresponding types of inorganic substances are identified based on the peak positions in the chromatogram. The aforementioned free electrolyte solution is diluted 3- to 10-fold with acetonitrile to obtain the dilute electrolyte solution for testing. Using a GC-MS 3100 gas chromatograph for organic compounds, the aforementioned dilute electrolyte solution is introduced into the instrument and subjected to a full qualitative scan analysis at a sampling point temperature of 250 °C. Scan range: 35 µm ~ 270 µm.After completion of the investigation, the total ion current chromatograms of the individual organic substances are obtained, whereby the corresponding types of organic substances are identified based on the peak positions in the chromatogram.
[0141] The additives mentioned above are all film-forming additives that can preferably form a film on the surface of the negative active layer in the electrolyte solution in front of the solvents and lithium-containing electrolyte salts, thus improving the electrochemical performance of the battery cell.
[0142] In some embodiments, the additives comprise at least two of the following additives: carbonate ester additives, sulfur-containing additives, and lithium salt additives.
[0143] The SEI membrane components formed by carbonate ester additives consist mainly of organic components and exhibit excellent toughness, thus improving the cycle stability of the battery cell. SEI membrane components formed by sulfur-containing additives exhibit excellent thermal and chemical stability, compensating for the shortcomings of the organic components and improving the battery cell's storage performance at high temperatures. Lithium salt additives can address the issue of insufficient lithium ions at high charging speeds, improve the stability of the SEI layer, and simultaneously replenish lithium. The interaction of two or more components enhances the overall performance of the battery cell during fast charging.
[0144] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the additive in the electrolyte solution, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is 1% to 10%, optionally 2% to 8%, and further optionally 3.5% to 8%.
[0145] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the additive in the electrolyte solution, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, can optionally be 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, or a range between these two values.
[0146] The mass fraction of the additive in the electrolyte solution, relative to the total mass of the electrolyte solution, can be determined using any method known in this field. For example, the previously described method for testing the mass of the solvent and the lithium-containing electrolyte salt in the electrolyte solution can be used. It should be noted that the mass fraction of the additive in the electrolyte solution may be somewhat lower than the initial mass fraction due to the additive's consumption during the formation and cycling process and the formation of the corresponding components in the SEI membrane.
[0147] In some embodiments, the carbonate ester additives contain one or more of the following substances, including: vinyl carbonate VC, fluoroethylene carbonate FEC.
[0148] In some embodiments, the sulfur-containing additive comprises one or more of the following substances: ethyl sulfate ester DTD, bis-ethyl sulfate ester 2-DTD, butyl sulfate ester BS, 1,3-propane sulfate ester PS, ethyl sulfate ester ES, methyl methane sulfate ester MMDS.
[0149] In some embodiments, the additive comprises vinyl carbonate VC, wherein the mass fraction of vinyl carbonate VC in the electrolyte solution, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is 0.5% to 9%, optionally 2% to 6%.
[0150] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of vinyl carbonate VC in the electrolyte solution, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is optionally 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9% or a range between any two values.
[0151] Chain-like carboxylic acid esters exhibit high activity, improve wettability between the electrolyte solution and the electrode plate, and increase the conductivity of the electrolyte solution. However, they can also attack the solid-state electrolyte membrane (SEI membrane). Vinyl carbonate (VC) has a similar reduction potential to chain-like carboxylic acid esters, can inhibit their reactivity, and improve the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0152] In some embodiments, the additive comprises fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), wherein the mass fraction of the fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in the electrolyte solution, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, is 0.1% to 4%, optionally 0.5% to 3%.
[0153] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in the electrolyte solution, based on the total mass of the electrolyte solution, can optionally be 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4% or a range between any two values.
[0154] Excessive vinyl carbonate (VC) content can increase the battery's interfacial resistance and charge transfer resistance, negatively impacting its fast-charging capability. Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) can also form a membrane on the negative electrode surface at higher electrical potentials and exhibits low interfacial resistance and charge transfer resistance. However, the high-temperature stability of the SEI membrane formed by FEC is poor, adversely affecting the battery cell's stability in high-temperature environments. Adding vinyl carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) to the electrolyte solution effectively balances the battery cell's fast-charging capability with its high-temperature stability.
[0155] In some embodiments, the electrolyte solution comprises vinyl carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate, wherein the ratio of the total mass of vinyl carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) to the mass of the chain-like carboxylic acid ester is 0.008 - 0.5.
[0156] In some embodiments, the ratio of the total mass of vinyl carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) to the mass of the chain-like carboxylic acid ester in the electrolyte solution can optionally be 0.008, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 or a range between any two values.
[0157] The combination of vinyl carbonate (VC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) reduces the erosion of the SEI membrane by chain-like carboxylic acid esters in the electrolyte solution, effectively ensuring both the fast charging capability and the storage stability of the battery cell.
[0158] In some embodiments, the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte solution is 14 mS / cm - 20 mS / cm, optionally 15 mS / cm - 20 mS / cm.
[0159] An electrolyte solution with an electrical conductivity within the above-mentioned range can better balance the fast charging capability and the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0160] In some embodiments, the one-sided areal density of the positive active layer is 280 mg / 1540.25 mm². 2 ~ 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 .
[0161] A positive active layer with a one-sided areal density within the above-mentioned area can more effectively balance the fast charging capability and energy density of the battery cell.
[0162] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the positive active layer at 100% SOC of the battery cell is 2.50 g / cm³. 3 ~ 2.80 g / cm³ 3 , optional 2.55 g / cm² 3~ 2.68 g / cm³ 3 .
[0163] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the positive active layer at 100% SOC of the battery cell can optionally be 2.50 g / cm³. 3 , 2.55 g / cm³ 3 , 2.60 g / cm³ 3 , 2.68 g / cm³ 3 , 2.70 g / cm³ 3 , 2.75 g / cm³ 3 , 2.80 g / cm³ 3 or a range of values between any two values.
[0164] In this application, the density of the positive active layer at 100% state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell has the meaning generally known in this field and can be tested using methods known in this field. For example, the battery cell is charged to the cutoff voltage (e.g., 3.65 V) at a constant charging rate of 0.33 C, allowed to rest for 1 minute, and then further charged to the cutoff voltage at a constant charging rate of 0.1 C, at which point the battery cell is charged to 100% SOC. Subsequently, the positive electrode plate is removed, and the density of the positive active layer is determined. The density of the positive active layer is the areal density of the positive active layer measured after removal divided by the thickness of the positive active layer. The areal density of the positive active layer can be tested using the procedure described above.The thickness of the positive active layer is generally known in this field and can be tested using established methods, for example, with a micrometer (e.g., Mitutoyo 293-100 with an accuracy of 0.1 µm). It is understandable that the density of the positive active layer at 100% state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell differs from the target density of the battery cell and is influenced by actual operation, such that at 100% SOC the density of the positive active layer is often slightly lower than the target density of the battery cell.
[0165] In a battery cell with 100% SOC, the positive active layer can achieve a balance between the fast charging capability and the energy density of the battery cell with a density within the range mentioned above.

[0168] Lithium-containing phosphates with olive stone structure, which contain the above-mentioned components, exhibit good structural stability, thereby reducing losses during fast charging and improving the cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0169] In some embodiments, the positive active material also comprises an ion-conducting layer arranged on the surface of the lithium-containing phosphate, which contains carbon elements, wherein, based on the total mass of the positive active material, the percentage mass fraction of the carbon element is 1 ~ 2%.
[0170] In some embodiments, the percentage by mass of the carbon element, based on the total mass of the positive active material, can optionally be 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, or a range between any two values.
[0171] It should be noted that the ion-conducting layer can have either a single-layer or a multi-layer structure; that is, the ion-conducting component and the carbon-containing component in the ion-conducting layer can be either mixed or layered. It is understood that the ion-conducting layer exhibits a high ion transport rate.
[0172] The aforementioned carbon element-containing ion-conducting layer can simultaneously improve the ion conductivity and electrical conductivity of the positive active material, optimize the solid-phase transfer rate of ions and electrons, and improve the energy density and fast-charging capability of the battery cell.
[0173] In some embodiments, the ion-conducting layer also includes a fast ion conductor with a NASICON structure, as shown in Equation II.

Fast ion conductors with a NASICON structure possess abundant three-dimensional diffusion and transport channels for lithium ions and are characterized by high ionic conductivity and structural stability during repeated lithium discharge and insertion. By applying a fast ion conductor with a NASICON structure to the surface of the lithium-containing phosphate, the lithium ion transfer rate during repeated lithium discharge and insertion at the positive electrode end can be significantly increased, thereby improving the ionic conductivity of the positive active material and optimizing the energy density and fast-charging capability of the corresponding battery cell.

[0179] In this application, the powder compaction density of the positive active material has the meaning generally known in this field and can be measured using instruments and methods known in this field.

[0184] The aforementioned positive active material effectively improves the powder density and charge carrier conduction between the positive active materials through the particle size distribution, which benefits both the energy density and the fast-charging capability of the battery cell.
[0185] In some embodiments, the specific powder resistance R of the positive active material is ≤ 27.5 Ω·cm.
[0186] In this application, the specific powder resistance of the positive active material has the meaning generally known in this field and can be measured using instruments and methods known in this field.

[0191] The carbon structure in the positive active layer is of high relevance. The positive active material, with powder resistance and a specific surface area within the aforementioned range, exhibits both good ionic and electronic conductivity, which contributes to improving the fast-charging capability of the battery cell.
[0192] In some embodiments, the positive active layer comprises a lithium supplement, wherein the lithium supplement comprises at least one of the following materials: ternary lithium supplements, lithium phosphate, lithium hydrogen phosphate, lithium sulfate, lithium sulfite, lithium molybdate, lithium oxalate, lithium titanate, lithium tetraborate, lithium para-silicate, lithium para-manganate, lithium tartrate and lithium citrate.
[0193] Lithium supplements are typically materials that release active lithium during the electrochemical process to compensate for the irreversible loss of active lithium due to the growth of the SEI membrane of the negative electrode. Adding lithium supplements to the positive active layer can compensate for this irreversible lithium loss during the electrochemical process, thereby increasing the overall capacity and energy density of the battery cell.
[0194] Ternary lithium supplements refer to lithium supplements containing one or more oxides of nickel, cobalt, and manganese.

[0201] The arrangement of a positive and / or negative conductive layer contributes to improving the electronic conductivity of the electrode plate of the battery cell and improves the energy density of the battery cell.
[0202] In some embodiments, the positive conductive layer comprises a conductivity agent and a first binder, while the negative conductive layer comprises a conductivity agent and a second binder, wherein the conductivity agent comprises one or more of the following: superconducting carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, boron carbon black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers, wherein the conductivity agent optionally comprises superconducting carbon and carbon nanotubes, wherein the first binder comprises a fluorine-containing binder and the second binder comprises a water-soluble binder.

[0205] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the positive electrically conductive layer, the mass fraction of the conductivity agent in the positive electrically conductive layer is 30% to 50% and the mass fraction of the first binder is 50% to 70%; and / or based on the total mass of the negative electrically conductive layer, the mass fraction of the conductivity agent in the negative electrically conductive layer is 20% to 40% and the mass fraction of the second binder is 60% to 80%.
[0206] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the conductivity agent in the positive electrically conductive layer is 30% to 50% and the mass fraction of the first binder is 50% to 70%, based on the total mass of the positive electrically conductive layer.

[0210] In some embodiments, the one-sided areal density of the negative active layer is 104 mg / 1540.25 mm². 2 up to 180 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 ; optionally, it can deliver 125 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 up to 167 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 be.
[0211] The one-sided areal density of the negative active layer can be tested using a similar method to the one-sided areal density of the previously described positive active layer.

[0213] The negative active layer with a one-sided areal density within the above-mentioned area can interact with the positive active layer to enable a balance between the energy density and the fast-charging capability of the battery cell.
[0214] In some embodiments, the density of the negative active layer at 100% SOC of the battery cell is 1.15 g / cm³.3 ~ 1.36 g / cm³ 3 , optional 1.25 g / cm² 3 ~ 1.36 g / cm³ 3 .
[0215] At 100% state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell, the density of the negative active layer can be tested based on the previously described density of the positive active layer at 100% SOC. It is understandable that the density of the negative active layer at 100% SOC will differ from the target density of the negative active layer after cold pressing. During charging and discharging, the insertion and removal of lithium ions into the negative active layer causes it to expand compared to its state after cold pressing. This results in a decrease in the density of the negative active layer at 100% SOC compared to its density after cold pressing.
[0216] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the negative active layer at 100% SOC of the battery cell can optionally be 1.15 g / cm³. 3 , 1.20 g / cm³ 3 , 1.25 g / cm³ 3 , 1.30 g / cm³ 3 , 1.35 g / cm³ 3 , 1.36 g / cm³ 3 or a range of values between any two values.
[0217] In some embodiments, the negative active material comprises graphite.
[0218] In some embodiments, the graphite comprises composite graphite particles, wherein the composite graphite particles comprise main body particles and a coating arranged at least partially on the surface of the main body particles, wherein the main body particles comprise synthetic graphite, wherein the coating comprises amorphous carbon, and the composite graphite particles comprise secondary particles. Secondary particles are particles formed from two or more primary particles aggregated together.
[0219] The composite graphite particles comprising secondary particles and the surface coating comprising amorphous carbon promote the wettability of the electrolyte solution in the negative active layer of the electrode plate and contribute to improving the performance of the battery cell.
[0220] In some embodiments, the composite graphite material also includes kinetic carbon material.
[0221] In some embodiments, the kinetic carbon material is located between the primary particles of the main body and the primary particles. In this case, the main body particles of the negative active material comprise artificial graphite primary particles as well as the kinetic carbon material located between the primary particles.
[0222] In some embodiments, the kinetic carbon material is located within the coating. In this case, the coating comprises both the amorphous carbon material and the kinetic carbon material.
[0223] In some embodiments, the kinetic carbon material raw material comprises one or more of the following components: hard carbon, expanded graphite, and graphene.
[0224] In this document, "kinetic carbon material raw material" and "kinetic carbon material raw material powder" are completely identical in composition. "Kinetic carbon material" refers to the product obtained by graphitization and / or carbonization of the "kinetic carbon material raw material".
[0225] In some embodiments, the layer spacing of the crystal face of the kinetic carbon material (002) d002 is ≥ 0.3358nm, optionally 0.3359 nm ~ 0.3366 nm.
[0226] The layer spacing of the kinetic carbon material raw materials is larger than that of conventional graphite (the layer spacing of conventional graphite is 0.335 nm). When the resulting kinetic carbon materials are uniformly distributed within the main body particles and / or the coating of the composite graphite material, this promotes the rapid entry and exit of active ions. This improves the transfer properties of active ions and electrons, thereby enhancing the fast-charging capabilities of the battery cell without a significant loss in energy density. Thus, both fast-charging capabilities and energy density are considered. In some embodiments, the mass fraction of amorphous carbon in the coating of the composite graphite particles is 2% to 5%, based on the total mass of the composite graphite particles.
[0227] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of amorphous carbon in the coating of the composite graphite particles, based on the total mass of the composite graphite particles, can optionally be 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% or a range between any two values.
[0228] If the amorphous carbon content is within a suitable range, the composite graphite material can exhibit not only a high capacity per gram but also a high active ion solid-phase transport capability, which contributes to improving the fast-charging capability of the battery cell.
[0229] In some embodiments, the specific powder resistance of the negative active material is less than or equal to 0.04 Ω•cm.
[0230] In some embodiments, the specific powder resistance of the negative active material can optionally be 0.01 Ω·cm, 0.02 Ω·cm, 0.03 Ω·cm, 0.04 Ω·cm or a range of values between these two.

[0233] The powder compaction density of the negative active material under a pressure of 20,000 N can be tested using a method known in this field. For example, instruments and methods known in this field can be used for measurement. For instance, according to GB / T 24533-2009, the measurement can be carried out using an electronic pressure testing machine (e.g., an electronic pressure testing machine of type UTM7305). An exemplary test procedure is as follows: 1 g of powder of the negative active material is weighed and placed into a mold with a base area of 1.327 cm². 2 Given, a pressure of 20000 N was applied, held under pressure for 30 seconds, then the pressure was released, held for 10 seconds, and subsequently the powder compaction density of the material under a pressure of 20000 N was recorded and calculated.
[0234] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the negative active material under a pressure of 20000 N can optionally be 1.5 g / cm³. 3 , 1.55 g / cm³ 3 , 1.6 g / cm³ 3 , 1.65 g / cm³ 3 , 1.7 g / cm³ 3 or a range of values between any two of these values.
[0235] The negative active materials, with a powder compaction density within the appropriate range, enable a higher compaction density of the negative active layer, resulting in a higher energy density for the battery cell. Simultaneously, the original pore structure of the negative active layer is maintained during the cycling process, which helps to preserve the high fast-charging capability of the battery cell throughout the charging cycle.
[0236] In some embodiments, the negative active material also comprises a silicon-based material, wherein the silicon-based material comprises at least one of silicon, silicon oxide and silicon-carbon composites; based on the total mass of the negative active material, the mass fraction of the silicon element in the silicon-based material is 0.3% to 10%, optionally 1% to 6%.
[0237] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the silicon element in the silicon-based material, relative to the total mass of the negative active material, can optionally be 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, or a range between any two values.
[0238] The introduction of silicon-based materials contributes to improving the energy density of battery cells. Silicon-based materials within the aforementioned quality range can ensure both the energy density and the cycle stability of the battery cell.
[0239] In some embodiments, the specific charging capacity (per gram) of the negative active material is 350 mAh / g to 480 mAh / g.
[0240] The specific charge capacity (per gram) of the negative active material can be tested using known test methods. For example, the test procedure for the first coulomb efficiency and the specific capacity of the first discharge according to Annex G of the national standard GB / T 24533-2019 can be used. The battery cell is disassembled to obtain the negative electrode plate, using a metal-lithium disk as the counter electrode, a polyethylene film as a separator, and the electrolyte solution from the battery cell as the electrolyte solution for the button cell. The CR2430 button cell is assembled in an argon-protected glove box.The finished button cell is left to rest for 12 hours, then discharged at 25 °C with a constant current of 0.05 C to 0.005 V, left to rest for 10 minutes, then discharged with a constant current of 50 µA to 0.005 V, left to rest for 10 minutes, and then discharged with a constant current of 10 µA to 0.005 V. It is then recharged with a constant current of 0.1 C to 2 V, and the charge capacity is recorded. The ratio of the charge capacity to the mass of the negative active material is the specific capacitance (per gram) of that material.
[0241] In some embodiments, the specific charge capacity (per gram) of the negative active material is 350 mAh / g, 360 mAh / g, 370 mAh / g, 380 mAh / g, 390 mAh / g, 400 mAh / g, 410 mAh / g, 420 mAh / g, 430 mAh / g, 440 mAh / g, 450 mAh / g, 460 mAh / g, 470 mAh / g, 480 mAh / g or a range of values between any two of these.

[0245] The composite graphite particles are arranged near the electrolyte solution side to improve the fast charging capability of the battery cell while also improving the energy density.
[0246] In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the second negative active material layer to the thickness of the first negative active material layer is 3:7 to 7:3.
[0247] In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the second negative active material layer to the thickness of the first negative active material layer can optionally be 3:7, 4:7, 5:7, 6:7, 1:1, 2:1, 7:3 or a range of values between any two of these.
[0248] In some embodiments, the volume-averaged particle size Dv501 of the negative active material in the first negative active material layer is 9.5 µm ~ 18.5 µm, optionally 9.5 µm ~ 14.8 µm.
