It can be assumed that the described embodiments represent a subset of the embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Starting from the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can achieve without inventive work fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0008] In the present invention, the technical features defined in an open limitation comprise a closed technical solution consisting of the aforementioned features, and also an open technical solution containing the aforementioned features.

[0010] Within the scope of the present invention, there are no particular restrictions regarding the specific dispersion and stirring processes.
[0011] The reagents or instruments used in the present invention are, without specifying the manufacturer, all commercially available products. battery
[0012] One embodiment of the present invention provides a battery comprising a positive electrode, wherein the positive electrode comprises a cathodic current collector and a cathodic material provided on at least one surface of the cathodic current collector, wherein the cathodic material comprises an active cathodic material, wherein the active cathodic material comprises an olivine-type phosphate and a lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM), wherein the battery meets the following conditions: 0.004≤a(c / 1,2)⋅b≤0.190, where a=a2-a1 holds, where a1, a2 are the peak positions of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 20% SOC and 80% SOC of the battery respectively in the unit degree “°”; b is the mass fraction of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material, dimensionless; c is the intensity ratio of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material, dimensionless.
[0013] The addition of NCM to olivine-type phosphate utilizes its high ionic conductivity to improve the overall ion migration rate of the material. This results in a more uniform lithium deintercalation from the olivine-type phosphate at each voltage plateau. Furthermore, it can improve the uniformity of lithium deintercalation in the olivine-type phosphate, reduce the stress on the olivine-type phosphate during lithium deintercalation, prevent polarization of the olivine-type phosphate, and reduce the risk of manganese dissolution in the olivine-type phosphate. This contributes to improved battery performance at high temperatures, such as high-temperature energy storage performance and high-temperature cycle performance.Furthermore, the NCM has good structural stability under the influence of the Mn it contains, which ensures that it can exert a stable inhibitory effect on the polarization of olivine-type phosphate during charge and discharge cycles.
[0014] The diffraction peak of the (131) crystal plane is a characteristic peak of the olivine-type phosphate, and the peak position represents the interplanar distance. The inventors of the present invention have found that when the olivine-type phosphate undergoes structural instability, the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode changes at different battery state (SOC) levels, particularly when the battery is at 80% SOC and 20% SOC. The difference (a) in the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC of the battery can reflect the structural stability of the olivine-type phosphate. The smaller the value of the difference in peak position (a), the less structural change occurs in the olivine-type phosphate during charging and discharging, and the better the structural stability.However, if the structural stability of the olivine-type phosphate is too high, the crystallinity is high, which is not conducive to the performance of the capacitor.
[0015] The value of the difference (a) of the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC of the battery can be controlled by adjusting the type of carbon source in the olivine-type phosphate carbon coating material, the calcination temperature, the temperature holding time and the heating rate during the carbon coating process, as well as the type of doping elements in the olivine-type phosphate.
[0016] The present invention does not restrict the method for detecting the difference (a) in the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC of the battery. A person skilled in the art can determine the difference (a) in the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC of the battery using conventional technical means. For example, the difference (a) in the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC of the battery can be determined using the method described below:
[0017] The battery is discharged to 2.5 V at 0.33 C and then charged to 4.25 V at 0.33 C. The discharge capacity is recorded as C1. The charge is adjusted to 0.2 times the state C1 by charging at 0.33 C and recorded as 20% SOC. The positive electrode is obtained by decomposition in an inert atmosphere, and the resulting positive electrode is subjected to an XRD test to record the peak angle corresponding to the (131) crystal plane, i.e., a1;
[0018] The battery is discharged to 2.5 V at 0.33 C and then charged to 4.25 V at 0.33 C. The discharged capacity is recorded as C1. The charge is adjusted to 0.8 times the state C1 by charging at 0.33 C and recorded as 80% SOC. The positive electrode is obtained by disintegration in an inert atmosphere, and the obtained positive electrode is subjected to an XRD test to record the peak angle corresponding to the (131) crystal plane, i.e., a2. Then the difference (a) of the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC of the battery is calculated; The specific test conditions of the XRD test are as follows: Cu target, scanner voltage of 40 kV, current of 40 mA, scan range of 5-80°, scan speed of 5° / min, XRD calibration with internal silicon standard, and the XRD device used is the Ultima IV from Rigaku; In the XRD spectrum, the diffraction peak at the point where the diffraction angle is 20 35.5±0.5° is the diffraction peak of the (131) crystal plane.
[0019] The mass fraction (b) of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material indicates the amount of NCM added to the cathodic material. The larger the value, the more NCM has been added. If the amount of NCM added to the cathodic material is too small, the inhibitory effect of the NCM on the polarization of the olivine-type phosphate is not apparent. If the amount of NCM added to the cathodic material is too large, the thermal stability of the entire material system decreases, which is detrimental to performance at high temperatures.
[0020] The value of the mass fraction (b) of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material can be controlled by adjusting the mass ratio of the olivine-type phosphate to the NCM, the proportion of the active cathodic material in the cathodic material, etc.
[0021] The present invention does not restrict the method for detecting the mass fraction (b) of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material. A person skilled in the art can determine the mass fraction (b) of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material using conventional technical means. For example, the mass fraction (b) of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material can be measured using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) detection method. The battery is discharged at 0.33 C to 2.5 V, and the positive electrode is recovered by disassembly. It is then soaked in dimethyl carbonate (DMC), dried, and the cathodic material on the positive electrode is scraped for energy dispersion spectrometry (EDS) analysis. The material morphology and size are observed at 15k magnification, and the element types and their concentrations (normalized percent atomic content) of particles of varying sizes in the field of view are examined by EDS point-scan signal acquisition. Similar particles are selected at a minimum of three locations for testing to obtain accurate parallel sample results. Based on the data, the material type is identified, and the average molar ratio of each transition metal element to the total transition metal elements is determined, representing the chemical composition of each component of the main cathodic material in the electrode.The sample is then subjected to an ICP test (precise weighing of 0.5 g of the scraped cathodic material powder, dispersion in 20 ml of water, subsequent addition of 10 ml of nitric acid (66% HNO3 by mass), dispersion and heating until the cathodic material powder is completely dissolved, and dilution with water to 100 ml to obtain the test solution. The test solution is subjected to an ICP test, and the operating conditions of the ICP instrument are set as follows: gas flow rate 0.5 L / min, power 1150 W, and the ICP test is performed) to confirm the concentration of the corresponding chemical composition elements of the active cathodic material (i.e., the specific molar ratio of the chemical elements). The molar ratio of the individual transition metals to the total metal in the electrode is confirmed.In conjunction with the actual metal molar ratio of each material, confirmed by the aforementioned EDS, the mass ratio of the cathodic material containing a specific metal element to the total material is calculated as θ = ICP molar ratio / EDS molar ratio. The mass ratio of the remaining other material types is 1 - θ. The mass ratio of the two active cathodic materials is determined based on their chemical composition, and the mass fraction of the individual elements in the olivine-type phosphate and the lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide is also confirmed using the methods described above.
[0022] The intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material represents the degree of disorder of the NCM crystal structure. If the value is too high, this means that the degree of disorder of the NCM crystal structure is too great, leading to a deterioration of the cycle performance and thermal stability of the NCM material; if the value is too low, this means that the NCM crystal structure is too ordered, thereby increasing the diffusion barrier for lithium ions and impairing the internal resistance of the material.
[0023] The value of the intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material can be controlled by adjusting the manganese content in the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, the parameters of the preparation or manufacturing process of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material (such as calcination temperature, temperature holding time, heating rate) and the particle size of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide.
[0024] The present invention does not limit the method for determining the intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material. A person skilled in the art can determine the intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material using conventional technical means. For example, the intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material can be determined according to the method described below: The battery is discharged at 0.33 C to 2.5 V, and the positive electrode is recovered by disassembly. The positive electrode is soaked in DMC for 60 minutes at room temperature, removed, dried, and the cathodic material is scraped from the surface of the current collector. The recovered cathodic material is examined by XRD, and the intensities of the diffraction peaks corresponding to the (003) and (104) crystal planes are recorded, i.e., I(003) and I(104). Then, the intensity ratio of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material is calculated (c). The specific test conditions of the XRD test are as follows: Cu target, scanner voltage of 40 kV, current of 40 mA, scan range of 5-80°, scan speed of 2° / min, XRD calibration with internal silicon standard, and the XRD device used is the Ultima IV from Rigaku; In the XRD spectrum, the diffraction peak at the point where the diffraction angle 2θ is 18.5 ± 0.3° is the diffraction peak of the (003) crystal plane, and the diffraction peak at the point where the diffraction angle 20 is 44.5 ± 0.3° is the diffraction peak of the (104) crystal plane.
[0025] In the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC, the difference (a) in the peak position of the (131) crystal plane, the mass fraction (b) of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material, and the intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material affect the high-temperature performance of the battery to varying degrees, e.g., high-temperature cycling performance and high-temperature energy storage performance. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve good high-temperature battery performance, such as good high-temperature energy storage and high-temperature cycling performance, by controlling a single variable.The present invention achieves a balance between the polarization and capacity of the olivine-type phosphate, the lithium-ion diffusion barrier of the NCM, and the thermal stability of the NCM by mixing the olivine-type phosphate with the NCM and adjusting the difference (a) of the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode of the battery at 80% SOC and 20% SOC, the mass fraction (b) of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material, and the intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material to satisfy the above-mentioned specific relationship in order to achieve better high-temperature battery performance, such as high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature energy storage performance.The above relationship includes the (c / 1,2)th power of “a”, and this power relationship indicates that there is a nonlinear coupling relationship between “a” and “c”, which reflects the regulatory effect of the NCM crystal structure properties on the change in the lattice parameter of the olivine-type phosphate and further illustrates the comprehensive influence of the interaction between the crystal structure properties and the lattice parameter change on the high-temperature performance of the battery.
[0026] For example, the value of a (c / 1,2) ·b may be chosen as follows: 0.004, 0.006, 0.008, 0.010, 0.015, 0.020, 0.025, 0.030, 0.035, 0.040, 0.045, 0.050, 0.055, 0.060, 0.065, 0.070, 0.075, 0.080, 0.085, 0.090, 0.095, 0.100, 0.110, 0.120, 0.130, 0.140, 0.150, 0.160, 0.170, 0.180, 0.190 or the interval range formed by any two of the above values.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the battery satisfies the following condition: 0.008≤a (c / 1.2) ·b≤0.036. The value of a (c / 1,2) ·b is controlled within this specific range to better balance the polarization and capacity of the olivine-type phosphate, the lithium-ion diffusion barrier of the NCM, and the thermal stability of the NCM, further improving performance in high-temperature energy storage.
[0028] In some embodiments, the difference (a) of the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC of the battery is in the range of 0.05° to 0.20°, such as 0.05°, 0.07°, 0.10°, 0.12°, 0.15°, 0.18°, 0.20° or the interval range formed by any two of the above values.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the difference (a) of the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC of the battery is in the range of 0.10° to 0.15°.
[0030] If the difference (a) of the peak position of the (131) crystal plane in the XRD spectrum of the positive electrode at 80% SOC and 20% SOC of the battery is in the range of 0.05° to 0.20°, particularly in the range of 0.10° to 0.15°, the stability of the olivine-type phosphate is more suitable, and the high-temperature energy storage performance and the cycle performance of the battery are better.
[0031] In some embodiments, the mass fraction (b) of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material is in the range of 0.01 to 0.5, such as 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50 or the interval range formed by any two of the above values.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the mass fraction (b) of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material is in the range of 0.05-0.20.
[0033] If the mass fraction (b) of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide in the cathodic material is in the range of 0.01 to 0.50, particularly in the range of 0.05 to 0.20, it is more advantageous to balance the polarization of the olivine-type phosphate and the thermal stability of the cathodic material, so that the performance in high-temperature energy storage is better.
[0034] In some embodiments, the intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material is in the range of 0.5-1.8, such as 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 or the interval range formed by any two of the above values.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material is in the range of 1.0 to 1.5.
[0036] If the intensity ratio (c) of the (003) diffraction peak to the (104) diffraction peak in the XRD spectrum of the cathodic material is in the range of 0.5 to 1.8, especially in the range of 1.0 to 1.5, the perturbation level of the NCM is better suited, the cycle and thermal stability are good, the diffusion barrier for lithium ions is lower, and the high-temperature battery performance, such as high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature energy storage performance, is better.
[0037] In some embodiments, the range of a1 is 35.0 to 35.9, for example 35.0, 35.1, 35.2, 35.3, 35.4, 35.5, 35.6, 35.7, 35.8, 35.9, or the interval formed by any two of the above values. The value of a1 reflects the Mn content in the olivine-type phosphate. Controlling the value of a1 within the above-mentioned suitable range is not only advantageous for improving the energy density of the battery but also makes the Mn in the manganese-iron-lithium structure more stable.
[0038] In some embodiments, the range of a2 is 35.2 to 36.0, such as 35.2, 35.3, 35.4, 35.5, 35.6, 35.7, 35.8, 35.9, 36.0, or the interval range formed by any two of the above values, in order to reduce the risk of Mn dissolution in olivine-type phosphate.

In der allgemeinen Strukturformel kann x ausgewählt werden aus 0,55, 0,60, 0,65, 0,70, 0,75, 0,80, 0,85, 0,87 oder dem Intervallbereich, der durch zwei beliebige der obigen Werte gebildet wird; y kann ausgewählt werden aus 0,03, 0,04, 0,05, 0,06, 0,07, 0,08, 0,09, 0,10, 0,12, 0,14, 0,15 oder dem Intervallbereich, der durch zwei beliebige der obigen Werte gebildet wird, ausgewählt werden; z kann aus 0,10, 0,15, 0,20, 0,25, 0,30, 0,35, 0,40 oder dem Intervallbereich, der durch zwei beliebige der obigen Werte gebildet wird, ausgewählt werden. In einer Ausführungsform beträgt der Bereich von x / y 4,5 bis 7, wie z.B.4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7 or the interval range formed by any two of the above values, which not only allows the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide to maintain a good layered structure, but also reduces the degree of disorder of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide.
[0040] The lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide may be free of any coating material or may be coated with a coating material on part or all of its surface.
