However, lithium iron phosphate batteries exhibit significant internal gas generation. The addition of phosphate ester additives to the electrolyte solution can inhibit gas generation but increases the battery's direct current resistance (DCR), especially in pre-lithiation systems (i.e., positive electrode foils containing pre-lithiation additives). SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0007] To clarify the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. It is understood that the described embodiments represent only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention and not all embodiments. Starting from the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art would obtain without inventive step fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0008] In the present invention, technical features described in an open manner include both closed technical solutions composed of the enumerated features and open technical solutions including the enumerated features.

[0009] Regarding numerical ranges, in the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the above numerical ranges are to be considered continuous, including the lowest and highest values ​​of the range as well as all values ​​between these lowest and highest values. When the range refers to integers, it further includes any integer between the lowest and highest values ​​of the range. Furthermore, when multiple ranges are specified to describe features or properties, these ranges may be combined. In other words, all ranges specified herein, unless otherwise stated, are to be understood as covering all subranges contained therein.

[0010] The present invention is not particularly limited with regard to specific dispersion and stirring treatment methods.

[0011] The reagents or instruments used in the present invention without mentioning the manufacturer are conventional products that are commercially available. battery

[0012] The present invention provides a battery including an electrolyte solution and a positive electrode foil, wherein the positive electrode foil has a positive current collector and a positive active material layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector, wherein the positive active material layer contains a positive active material, the positive active material includes lithium iron phosphate, and the electrolyte solution contains tris-(dimethylvinylsilyl) phosphate (DMVSP); and the battery satisfies the following relationship: 0.3 < a × b × c < 124, where a is the mass fraction of tris-(dimethylvinylsilyl) phosphate in the electrolyte solution;b is the contact angle between the positive active material layer and the solution in units of degrees (°), the solution consisting of ethylene carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, and lithium hexafluorophosphate, the mass ratio of ethylene carbonate to ethyl methyl carbonate being 3:7 and the concentration of lithium hexafluorophosphate in the solution being 1 mol / L; c is the powder resistance of the positive active material layer, in units of Ω cm.;

[0013] By appropriately controlling the mass fraction of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution, the contact angle between the positive active material layer and the solution, and the powder resistance of the positive active material layer, the battery has fewer side reactions and lower gas generation during cycling, and the positive electrode foil has high conductivity for ions and electrons, thereby achieving both low gas generation and low DCR.

[0014] The mass fraction (a) of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution influences gas generation and the battery's DCR value. Increasing the mass fraction (a) of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution is beneficial for reducing gas generation in the battery, but leads to an increase in the battery's DCR value. The mass fraction (a) of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution can be adjusted by adjusting the ratio of electrolyte solution to DMVSP.

[0015] In the present invention, the method for determining the mass fraction (a) of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution is not subject to any restrictions, and those skilled in the art can determine the mass fraction (a) of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution using conventional technical means. For example, the mass fraction (a) of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution can be determined using the following method: A battery charging and discharging device is used to discharge the battery under the following discharge conditions: current 0.33 C, cut-off voltage 2.5 V, noting the battery number / barcode; The battery is disassembled in a glove box and the electrolyte solution is obtained (interior parameters to be met: H2O ≤ 0.1 ppm, O2 ≤ 0.1 ppm); A magnetic resonance spectrometer is used to check whether DMVSP is present in the electrolyte solution, and if so, a gas chromatograph is used to check the mass fraction of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution.

[0016] Disassembling the battery and obtaining the electrolyte solution can be carried out according to the following three methods: ① After opening the battery cover plate, if there is sufficient free electrolyte solution (ie more than 10 ml, also applies below), the electrolyte solution is transferred into a sample tube with a pipette, then sealed with sealing film; ② After opening the battery cover plate, if there is not enough free electrolyte solution, a hydraulic press (e.g., hydraulic press FY-30 of Beijing Hengaode Technology Co., Ltd.) can be used to continuously apply pressure until free electrolyte solution appears, collect the electrolyte solution in a sample tube, and then seal it with sealing film; 3. After opening the battery plate, if sufficient electrolyte solution cannot be obtained by methods 1 and 2, extraction tests shall be carried out, specifically as follows: 2 g / Ah to 5 g / Ah of a mixture of dichloromethane and cyclohexylbenzene (1:9 by volume) shall be added to the battery as an extractant, and the amount of extractant used shall be recorded. Then, the battery shall be placed in an aluminum-plastic bag, sealed with a heat sealant, and left to stand at a room temperature of 25 °C for 4 days to allow the electrolyte solution in the electrode film to fully mix with dichloromethane. Then, use a pipette to transfer the mixture of extractant and electrolyte solution into a 5 ml sample tube and seal the sample tube with a sealing film.

[0017] The mass fraction of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution can be tested using a gas chromatograph (Thermo Fisher Trace-1610) using the following method: the obtained sample of the electrolyte solution is injected into a 2 ml injection vial using a microsyringe, the response curve of the electrolyte solution sample is examined and compared with the DMVSP standard curve (obtained by performing the same test with pure DMVSP) to obtain the mass fraction of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution.

[0018] The method for testing whether DMVSP is present in the electrolyte solution using a magnetic resonance spectrometer is as follows: 1 ml of the collected electrolyte solution sample is placed in a sample tube, 0.5 ml of CDCl3 (deuterated chloroform) is injected into the sample tube with a syringe to completely dissolve the sample, and the magnetic resonance spectrometer (Bruker 400MHz NMR spectrometer) is used to examine the magnetic resonance spectrum of the electrolyte solution and compare it with the DMVSP standard curve (which was obtained by performing the same test on pure DMVSP) to help confirm whether DMVSP is present in the electrolyte solution or not.

[0019] Lithium iron phosphate batteries typically use a mixed solution containing lithium hexafluorophosphate in ethylene carbonate and ethyl methyl carbonate as the electrolyte solution. The contact angle (b) between the positive active material layer and the solution reflects the wettability of the positive electrode foil with the electrolyte solution. Reducing the contact angle (b) between the positive active material layer and the solution can improve the wettability of the positive electrode foil with the electrolyte solution, which contributes to reducing the ionic resistance of the positive electrode foil and thereby lowering the DCR value of the battery, and also increases the contact area between the electrolyte solution and the positive electrode foil.The contact angle (b) between the positive active material layer and the solution can be adjusted by modifying the type of carbon source and / or the amount of carbon coating and the compaction density of the positive electrode foil during the carbon coating process of the positive active material.

[0020] In the present invention, the method for determining the contact angle (b) between the positive active material layer and the solution is not limited, and those skilled in the art can perform the determination using conventional technical means. For example, the contact angle (b) can be measured using a contact angle measuring device (Beijing Zhongyi Kexin Technology Co., Ltd. JC2000D2M), and the specific testing method is as follows: 1) Pretreatment of the positive electrode foil: After disassembling the discharged battery, a positive electrode foil of about 8.5 cm * 8 cm in size is cut out with ceramic scissors to keep the positive electrode foil at room temperature of 25 °C for 6 h to 10 h, after which both ends of the electrode foil are attached to the testing device to start the testing; 2) the device with the attached electrode foil is placed on the sample support of the contact angle measuring device; 3) The solution is dropped toward the electrode foil with a syringe, and the contact angle is measured within 0.01 s to 0.05 s after the solution is dropped onto the foil. The contact angle is calculated using the five-point fitting method and an image evaluation method; the solution preparation method consists of mixing ethylene carbonate EC and ethyl methyl carbonate EMC with a mass ratio of 3:7, followed by adding lithium hexafluorophosphate to adjust its concentration to 1 mol / L.

[0021] The powder resistance (c) of the positive active material layer is related to the electron conductivity of the positive electrode foil and the wettability of the positive electrode foil with the electrolyte solution. Reducing the powder resistance (c) can improve the electron conductivity of the positive electrode foil, improve the DCR value of the battery, and also improve the wettability of the positive electrode foil with the electrolyte solution. The powder resistance (c) of the positive active material can be adjusted by modifying the particle size of the positive powder and the ratio of conductive agent to binder in the positive slurry.

[0022] In the present invention, the method for determining the powder resistance (c) of the positive active material layer is not limited, and those skilled in the art can perform the determination using conventional technical means. For example, the powder resistance (c) can be determined using the following method: The battery is discharged at 0.33 C, disassembled, the positive electrode foil is placed in a fume hood for 24 hours, after which 1 g of positive powder is collected using a scraper, the obtained positive powder is ball-milled for 20 to 40 minutes at 300 rpm using 0.6 mm diameter zirconium balls with a ball-to-powder ratio of 5:1, and then placed on a four-sensor resistance meter (e.g., Suzhou Jinggrid Electronics Co., Ltd. ST2722 Powder Resistance Tester for Semiconductors) to examine the powder resistance. The detailed procedure is as follows: the powder is placed on the electrode, a pressure of 10 MPa is applied to the powder using the other electrode, and the powder resistance value is read.

[0023] The mass fraction of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution, the contact angle between the positive active material layer and the solution, and the powder resistance of the positive active material layer all affect the DCR and gas generation of the battery to varying degrees and influence each other to some extent. Targeting a single variable makes it difficult to achieve both low DCR and low gas generation in the battery.The present invention achieves both low gas generation and low DCR by adjusting the mass fraction of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution, the contact angle between the positive active material layer and the solution, and the powder resistance of the positive active material layer to satisfy the above-mentioned specific relationship, resulting in fewer side reactions during cycling, lower gas generation, and higher conductivity of the positive electrode foil for ions and electrons, so that the battery can have both low gas generation and low DCR.

[0024] Example: The value of a × b × c can be chosen from 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 115, 120, 123 or any range formed by any two of these values.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the battery satisfies the following relationship: 0.5 ≤ a × b × c ≤ 16. By deliberately maintaining the value of a × b × c within this range, the battery exhibits a lower DCR value, fewer side reactions, and lower gas generation.

[0026] In some embodiments, the positive active material layer further contains a pre-lithiation additive.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the pre-lithiation additive contains lithium-rich iron lithiate (LFO). If the pre-lithiation additive contains lithium-rich iron lithiate, after disassembling the discharged battery, the positive electrode foil is removed, washed with DMC (dimethyl carbonate) for 4 to 5 hours, then left to stand for 3 hours at 45 °C, after which Fe 4+ can be determined using XPS analysis (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy).

[0028] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of the pre-lithiation additive in the positive active material layer is 0.001 to 0.05. For example, the mass fraction of the pre-lithiation additive in the positive active material layer may be 0.001, 0.003, 0.005, 0.007, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, or any range formed by any two of these values.

[0029] In some embodiments, the positive active material further comprises at least one of lithium manganese iron phosphate and ternary material (NCM / NCA). When the positive active material contains at least one of lithium manganese iron phosphate and ternary material, the upper voltage limit of the positive electrode foil can be increased. The sum of the mass fractions of lithium manganese iron phosphate and the ternary material in the positive active material layer is 0.02 to 0.5, such as 0.02, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, or any range formed by any two of these values.

[0030] The mass fraction of lithium manganese iron phosphate in the positive active material layer can be selected to be 0.02 to 0.5, such as 0.02, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, or any range formed by any two of these values; the chemical formula of lithium manganese -Iron phosphate is LiMn e Fe 1-ePO4, where 0 < e < 1, such as 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.93, 0.96, 0.99 or any range formed by any two of these values; the particle size Dv50 of the lithium manganese iron phosphate is 2 µm to 3 µm, such as 2 µm, 2.2 µm, 2.4 µm, 2.6 µm, 2.8 µm, 3 µm or any range formed by any two of these values. The present invention imposes no restrictions on the method for determining the particle size Dv50 of lithium manganese iron phosphate, and those skilled in the art can determine the particle size Dv50 of lithium manganese iron phosphate using conventional technical means. For example, the particle size Dv50 of lithium manganese iron phosphate can be determined using the following method: the battery is discharged at 0.33 C to 2.5 V, disassembled, and the positive electrode foil is left for 24 hours.long in a fume hood to then collect 0.1 to 0.2 g of positive powder with a scraper, take SEM (scanning electron microscope) images of the obtained positive powder, measure the particle size of the lithium manganese phosphate particles in the SEM images using the MEASURE NANO software, obtain the particle size data using the diagonal line method, evaluate the particle size distribution after collecting 100 samples, so that the particle size parameter Dv50 of the lithium manganese iron phosphate can be calculated.

[0031] The mass fraction of the ternary material in the positive active material layer can be selected to be 0.02 to 0.5, such as 0.02, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, or any range formed by any two of these values; the ternary material is LiNi x Co y Mn (1-x-y)O2, where 0 <x<1 ist (wie etwa 0,01, 0,03, 0,05, 0,07, 0,1, 0,2, 0,3, 0,4, 0,5, 0,6, 0,7, 0,8, 0,9, 0,93, 0,96, 0,99 oder ein beliebiger Bereich, der durch beliebige zwei dieser Wert gebildet wird); 0<y<1 ist (wie etwa 0,01, 0,03, 0,05, 0,07, 0,1, 0,2, 0,3, 0,4, 0,5, 0,6, 0,7, 0,8, 0,9, 0,93, 0,96, 0,99 oder ein beliebiger Bereich, der durch beliebige zwei dieser Wert gebildet wird) die Partikelgröße Dv50 des ternären Materials beträgt 3 µm bis 20 µm, wie etwa 3 µm, 5 µm, 7 µm, 10 µm, 12 µm, 14 µm, 16 µm, 18 µm, 20 µm oder ein beliebiger Bereich, der durch beliebige zwei dieser Wert gebildet wird. In der vorliegenden Erfindung unterliegt das Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Partikelgröße Dv50 des ternären Materials keinerlei Einschränkungen, und Fachleute können die Bestimmung gemäß herkömmlichen technischen Mitteln durchführen.For example, the particle size Dv50 of the ternary material can be determined using the following method: the battery is discharged at 0.33 C to 2.5 V, disassembled, the positive electrode foil is placed in a fume hood for 24 hours, then 0.1 to 0.2 g of positive powder is collected using a scraper, SEM (scanning electron microscope) images of the collected positive powder are taken, the particle size of the ternary particles in the SEM images are measured using the MEASURE NANO software, the particle size data are obtained using the diagonal line method, and the particle size distribution is evaluated after collecting 100 samples, so that the particle size parameter Dv50 of the ternary material can be calculated.

[0032] In some embodiments, c is in the range of 1 Ω·cm to 200 Ω·cm. For example, c can be 1 Ω cm, 3 Ω cm, 5 Ω cm, 7 Ω cm, 10 Ω cm, 15 Ω cm, 20 Ω cm, 25 Ω cm, 30 Ω cm, 35 Ω cm, 40 Ω cm, 45 Ω cm, 50 Ω cm, 60 Ω cm, 70 Ω cm, 80 Ω cm, 90 Ω cm, 100 Ω cm, 110 Ω cm, 120 Ω cm, 130 Ω cm, 140 Ω cm, 150 Ω cm, 160 Ω cm, 170 Ω cm, 180 Ω cm, 190 Ω·cm, 200 Ω·cm or any range formed by any two of these values.

[0033] When c is in the range of 1 Ω cm to 200 Ω cm, not only is the wettability of the positive electrode foil to the electrolyte solution in a more appropriate range with less side reactions between the positive electrode foil and the electrolyte solution and less gas generation, but also the conductivity of the positive electrode foil for electrons is higher and the DCR value of the battery is lower.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, c is 5 Ω·cm to 50 Ω·cm. When c is within this range, it proves more advantageous for achieving a balance between the battery's gas production and its DCR value.

[0035] In some embodiments, b is 10° to 40°. For example, b may be 10°, 13°, 15°, 17°, 20°, 22°, 25°, 28°, 30°, 32°, 35°, 37°, 40°, or any range formed by any two of these values.

[0036] When b is within the range of 10° to 40°, the wetting rate of the positive electrode foil to the electrolyte solution is in a more appropriate range, where not only is there less risk of the positive electrode foil undergoing side reactions with the electrolyte solution, but also the internal ionic resistance of the battery is lower and the DCR value of the battery is lower.

[0037] In some embodiments, a is 0.0001 to 0.05. For example, a may be 0.0001, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.025, 0.03, 0.035, 0.04, 0.045, 0.05, or any range formed by any two of these values.

[0038] When a is in the range of 0.0001 to 0.05, the battery has lower gas generation and a lower DCR value.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a is 0.001 to 0.01. When a is within this range, it proves more advantageous for achieving a balance between the battery's gas production and its DCR value.

[0040] In some embodiments, the particle size Dv50 of the lithium iron phosphate is 0.1 µm to 2 µm, such as 0.1 µm, 0.5 µm, 0.7 µm, 1 µm, 0.3 µm, 1.2 µm, 1.5 µm, 1.7 µm, 2 µm, or any range formed by any two of these values. By deliberately maintaining the particle size Dv50 of the lithium iron phosphate within this specific range, it is ensured that the contact angle of the solution on the surface of the positive electrode foil is within a suitable range, while maintaining good porosity in the positive active material layer, improving the wetting rate of the electrolyte solution to the positive electrode foil, and reducing ionic resistance. In the present invention, the method for determining the particle size Dv50 of lithium iron phosphate is not subject to any restrictions, and those skilled in the art can carry out the determination according to conventional technical means.For example, the particle size Dv50 of lithium iron phosphate can be determined using the following method: the battery is discharged at 0.33 C to 2.5 V, disassembled, the positive electrode foil is placed in a fume hood for 24 hours, and then 0.1 to 0.2 g of positive powder is collected using a scraper. SEM images of the collected positive powder are taken. The particle size of the lithium iron phosphate particles in the SEM images is measured using the MEASURE NANO software. The particle size data are obtained using the diagonal line method. After collecting 100 samples, the particle size distribution is evaluated, so that the particle size parameter Dv50 of lithium iron phosphate can be calculated.

[0041] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the positive electrode foil is 2.0 g / cm 3 up to 3.0 g / cm 3 , such as 2.0 g / cm 3 , 2.2 g / cm 3 , 2.4 g / cm 3 , 2.6 g / cm 3, 2.8 g / cm 3 , 3.0 g / cm 3 or corresponds to any range formed by any two of these values. When the compaction density of the positive electrode foil is deliberately maintained within this specific range, the wettability of the positive electrode sheet surface to the electrolyte solution is good, which can reduce the ionic resistance of the entire battery. Since the areal density is within a suitable range, the energy density of the battery is satisfactorily ensured.

[0042] In the present invention, the method for determining the degree of compaction is not subject to any restrictions, and those skilled in the art can perform the determination using conventional technical means. For example, the compaction density of the positive electrode foil can be determined using the following method: The battery is discharged at 0.33 C to the cut-off voltage of 2.5 V and, after disassembling the battery, the positive electrode foil is placed in a fume hood for 24 h, the positive electrode foil is cut into a circular foil with a diameter of 4 cm, the original mass is recorded as m1 and the area as s1, the mass of the positive current collector of the same size is measured as m2, the areal density d is calculated using the formula d=(m1-m2) / s1, the thickness h1 of the positive active material layer in the positive circular foil is measured, the compaction density is calculated using the formula compaction ratio = d / h1.

[0043] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the positive active material in the positive active material layer is 0.95 to 0.998, such as 0.95, 0.955, 0.96, 0.965, 0.97, 0.975, 0.98, 0.985, 0.99, 0.995, 0.998, or any range formed by any two of these values.

[0044] In addition to the positive active material, the positive active material layer also contains conductive agents and binders.

[0045] The conductive agent in the positive active material layer is used to provide conductivity. Any conductive agent can be used without any particular restrictions, as long as it has suitable conductivity for electrons and does not cause significant harmful chemical changes in the battery. Examples of conductive agents in the positive active material layer include, among others, carbon nanotubes, carbon black, graphite, carbon fiber, activated carbon, mesoporous carbon, and fullerenes. Carbon fiber includes carbon nanotubes, etc.; carbon black includes acetylene black, Ketjen black, Super P (i.e., SP), etc.

[0046] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the conductive agent in the positive active material layer is 0.001 to 0.02, such as 0.001, 0.003, 0.005, 0.007, 0.01, 0.012, 0.015, 0.017, 0.02, or any range formed by any two of these values.

[0047] The binder in the positive active material layer is used to improve the adhesion between positive active material particles and the adhesion between the positive active material and the positive current collector. Any binder can be used without any particular restrictions, as long as it has suitable bonding properties and does not cause significant harmful chemical changes in the battery. Examples of binders in the positive active material layer include, but are not limited to, fluoropolyolefin binders, including polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), vinylidene fluoride copolymers, or their modified derivatives (e.g., modified with carboxylic acid, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, etc.).

[0048] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the binder in the positive active material layer is 0.001 to 0.05, such as 0.001, 0.003, 0.005, 0.007, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, or any range formed by any two of these values.

[0049] In the present invention, the positive current collector is not particularly limited as long as it has electrical conductivity and does not cause adverse chemical changes in the battery, and may use, for example, aluminum, nickel, titanium, stainless steel, sintered carbon; or aluminum or stainless steel that has undergone a surface treatment with one of carbon, nickel, titanium, silver, etc.

[0050] The method for producing the positive active material is not particularly limited in the present invention, and those skilled in the art can produce the positive active material by conventional means.

[0051] The positive active material can be produced, for example, by the following method: iron phosphate, a carbon source, and lithium carbonate are mixed in an organic solvent at a mass ratio of 1:(0.15 to 0.35):0.09. This is followed by spray drying to obtain the raw material. The raw material is sintered at 650 to 800°C for 1 to 5 hours to obtain the positive active material. The carbon source can be selected from at least one of glucose, sucrose, and polyethylene glycol. The organic solvent can be selected from at least one of methanol and ethanol. After sintering, crushing or crushing and sieving operations can be performed.

[0052] Alternatively, the positive active material can be prepared using the following method: iron phosphate and lithium carbonate are mixed in an organic solvent at a mass ratio of 1:0.09, followed by spray drying to obtain the raw material, and the raw material is sintered at 650 to 800 °C for 1 to 5 hours to obtain the positive active material. The organic solvent can be selected from at least one of methanol and ethanol.

[0053] After sintering, crushing or crushing and sieving operations can be performed. The positive active material can also be obtained directly from commercially available lithium iron phosphate, for example, directly using lithium iron phosphate from Beijing EASPRING Material Technology Co., Ltd.

[0054] The positive active material can also be prepared by mixing lithium iron phosphate with at least one of lithium manganese iron phosphate and a ternary material.

Then, use a pipette to transfer the mixture of extractant and electrolyte solution into a 5 ml sample tube and seal the sample tube with a sealing film.

[0093] Next, a magnetic resonance spectrometer is used to check whether DMVSP is present in the electrolyte solution: 1 ml of the obtained electrolyte solution sample is placed in a sample tube, 0.5 ml of CDCl3 (deuterated chloroform) is injected into the sample tube using a syringe to completely dissolve the sample, and a magnetic resonance spectrometer (Bruker 400MHz NMR spectrometer) is used to examine the magnetic resonance spectrum of the electrolyte solution and compare it with the DMVSP standard curve (obtained by performing the same test with pure DMVSP) to help confirm whether DMVSP is present in the electrolyte solution.

The collected positive powder is ball-milled for 20 minutes at 300 rpm using 0.6 mm diameter zirconium balls with a ball-to-powder ratio of 5:1. The powder is then applied to a four-sensor resistivity meter (Suzhou Jinggrid Electronics Co., Ltd. ST2722 Powder Resistance Tester for Semiconductors) to measure the powder resistance.

After the battery is placed in an oven at 60 °C for 48 hours, and after the battery temperature has dropped to room temperature of 25 °C, the battery volume is measured again using the water displacement method and recorded as V1. In order to calculate the gas generation during storage at 60 °C, the following formula is used: Gas generation during storage at 60 °C = (V1-V0) / battery capacity.

[0098] Specific method for measuring battery volume using the water displacement method: 1) an appropriate amount of pure water is added to the container and its density ρ is measured and recorded using a density meter; 2) the container is placed on the scale, the tare value is determined (before examining each of the cells, the tare value must be determined); 3) the cell body is immersed into the pure water together with the tabs, ensuring that the cell does not touch the container wall, after stabilization the data are read and recorded, noting these data as T0 before storage in the oven and T1 after storage in the oven; 4) the balance is turned off and the container is sealed to prevent evaporation of reagents.

[0101] Batteries prepared according to various examples of the present invention exhibit a DCR value ≤ 73 Ω, a gas generation when stored at 60 °C ≤ 1.52 ml / Ah, which demonstrates that batteries containing the positive electrode foil of the present invention achieve both a low DCR value and low gas generation.

[0102] The comparison of Examples 1 to 5 with Comparative Examples 6 to 9 and of Examples 10 to 11 with Comparative Examples 12 to 15 shows that it is more favorable for the balance between the DCR value and the gas generation of the battery if the mass fraction a of DMVSP in the electrolyte solution and the powder resistance c of the positive swirl material layer satisfy the preferred ranges of the present invention.

[0103] Comparing Examples 1 to 9 with Examples 10 to 17 shows that the balance between the battery's DCR value and low gas generation is better when the battery satisfies 0.5 ≤ axbxc ≤ 16.

[0104] According to Comparative Examples 1 to 12, even when the mass fraction a of DMVSP in electrolyte solution, the contact angle b between the positive active material layer and the solution, and the powder resistance c of the positive active material layer are each within appropriate ranges, both the DCR value and the gas generation of the battery are relatively high when the value of a × b × c is outside the range of 0.3 to 124 (excluding the endpoint values).

[0105] Comparison of Example 22 with Example 3 shows that the addition of methylenemethanedisulfonate to the electrolyte solution can reduce the required amount of DMVSP while achieving a similar DCR and gas production.

[0106] Finally, it should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments serve only to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure and do not limit the scope thereof. Although a detailed description of the present invention has been provided with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions may be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
