Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a positive electrode plate and its manufacturing method, a battery cell, a battery and a power consuming device. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, the application range of lithium-ion batteries has become increasingly wider, and they are widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydroelectric power, thermal power, wind power and solar power plants, as well as in multiple fields such as power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment and aerospace.
[0003] As a component of a battery cell, the performance of the positive electrode plate is very important to the performance of the battery cell, so how to provide a positive electrode plate to improve the performance of the battery cell is a technical problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] The present application has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a positive electrode plate that improves the performance of a battery cell. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present application provides a positive electrode plate and a manufacturing method thereof, a battery cell, a battery and a power consuming device.
[0006] According to a first aspect, there is provided a positive electrode plate comprising a positive electrode current collector and a first film layer and a second film layer on the same side of at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector, wherein the first film layer comprises a first active material, the first active material comprising at least one of an olivine structure material and a spinel structure material, the second film layer comprises a second active material, the second active material comprising a layered structure material, and a resistivity R1 of the first active material and a resistivity R2 of the second active material satisfy 20≦R2 / R1≦500.
[0007] An embodiment of the present application provides a positive electrode plate, comprising a positive electrode current collector and a first film layer and a second film layer disposed on the same side of at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector. The first film layer comprises a first active material, the first active material including at least one of an olivine structure material and a spinel structure material, and the second film layer comprises a second active material including a layered structure material. Battery cells manufactured with the first active material have relatively high reliability, and battery cells manufactured with the second active material have high energy density. The provision of the first film layer and the second film layer is advantageous for achieving both high energy density and reliability of the battery cell, while also reducing the likelihood of the first active material adhering to the surface of the second active material, further reducing electrons gathering on the surface of the second active material and reducing the risk of excessive lithium ion desorption from the second active material, which is advantageous for improving the cycle performance of the battery cell. The resistivity R1 of the first active material and the resistivity R2 of the second active material satisfy the relationship 20≦R2 / R1≦500. Thus, the difference in resistivity between the first active material and the second active material is relatively small, which can reduce the influence of electron aggregation on the surface of the second active material on the desorption of lithium ions from the second active material, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery cell. Therefore, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are advantageous to improving the performance of the battery cell.

The layered-structured material has a relatively high gram capacity, which is advantageous for improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the thickness d1 of the first film layer is 40 μm to 160 μm, and optionally, 60 μm to 140 μm.

Battery cells manufactured with the first active material have relatively high reliability, and battery cells manufactured with the second active material have high energy density. The provision of the first film layer and the second film layer is advantageous for achieving both high energy density and reliability of the battery cell, while also reducing the likelihood of the first active material adhering to the surface of the second active material, further reducing electrons gathering on the surface of the second active material and reducing the risk of excessive lithium ion desorption from the second active material, which is advantageous for improving the cycle performance of the battery cell. The resistivity R1 of the first active material and the resistivity R2 of the second active material satisfy the relationship 20≦R2 / R1≦500.

[Figure 8] 1 is a schematic diagram of a power consuming device according to one embodiment of the present application; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0039] Hereinafter, with appropriate reference to the drawings, embodiments specifically disclosing the positive electrode plate and its manufacturing method, battery cell, battery, and power consumption device of the present application will be described in detail. However, unnecessary details may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of well-known matters and repeated descriptions of structures that are actually the same may be omitted. This is to avoid unnecessary redundancy in the following description and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Note that the drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present application and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.
[0040] The "ranges" disclosed in this application are defined in the form of lower and upper limits. A given range is defined by selecting one lower limit and one upper limit, and the selected lower and upper limits define the boundaries of the particular range. Such defined ranges may be inclusive or exclusive, and may be arbitrarily combined; i.e., any lower limit may be combined with any upper limit to form a single range. For example, if ranges of 60-120 and 80-110 are listed for a particular parameter, it is understood that ranges of 60-110 and 80-120 are also contemplated. Furthermore, if 1 and 2 are listed as minimum range values and 3, 4, and 5 are listed as maximum range values, the following ranges are also contemplated: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5. Unless otherwise specified, the numerical range "ab" in this application is a shorthand notation for any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are both real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0-5" represents that the specification has already listed all real numbers between "0-5," and "0-5" is merely a shorthand representation of combinations of these numbers. Also, expressing a parameter as an integer ≧2 is equivalent to disclosing that this parameter is, for example, the integers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.
[0041] Unless otherwise stated, all embodiments and optional embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.
[0042] Unless otherwise stated, all technical features and optional technical features of this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.
[0043] Unless otherwise specified, all steps in this application may be performed in order or randomly, preferably in order. For example, a description of a method including steps (a) and (b) means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed in order, or steps (b) and (a) performed in order. For example, a description of a method that may further include step (c) means that step (c) may be added to the method in any order, e.g., the method may include steps (a), (b), and (c), or may include steps (a), (c), and (b), or may include steps (c), (a), and (b), etc.
[0044] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprise" and "comprises" used in this application may be open ended or closed ended. For example, the terms "comprise" and "comprises" may indicate that other components not listed may be further included or included, or that only the listed components may be included or included.
[0045] Unless otherwise stated, in this application, the term "or" is inclusive. For example, the phrase "A or B" means "A, B, or both A and B." More specifically, "A or B" is satisfied when A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist), when A is false (or does not exist) but B is true (or exists), or when both A and B are true (or exist).
[0046] This application takes a lithium-ion battery as an example. A lithium-ion battery is a typical power battery that is charged and discharged by a chemical reaction in which lithium ions are absorbed and released between the positive and negative electrodes, and is therefore also called a rocking chair battery. During the charging process of a lithium-ion battery, lithium ions are released from the positive electrode, move by the conduction of the electrolyte, and are absorbed into the negative electrode active material. During the discharging process, lithium ions are released from the negative electrode, move by the conduction of the electrolyte, and are absorbed into the positive electrode active material.
[0047] It should be understood that the processes of "lithium absorption" and "absorption" described in this application refer to a process in which lithium ions are absorbed into a positive electrode active material or a negative electrode active material through an electrochemical reaction, and the processes of "release", "lithium desorption", and "desorption absorption" described in this application refer to a process in which lithium ions are desorbed from a positive electrode active material or a negative electrode active material through an electrochemical reaction.
[0048] Due to their high energy density, high voltage, and long cycle life, lithium-ion batteries are widely used in mobile phones, electric vehicles, power storage stations, etc. As the positive electrode plate is a component of the battery cell, the performance of the positive electrode plate is crucial to the performance of the battery cell.
[0049] The positive electrode plate includes a positive current collector and a film layer coated on the surface of the positive current collector. The active material in the film layer is typically lithium iron phosphate having an olivine structure or a ternary material having a layered structure. When the film layer in the positive electrode plate contains only the lithium iron phosphate active material, a battery cell manufactured with the positive electrode plate has relatively high reliability but a relatively low energy density. When the film layer in the positive electrode plate contains only the ternary active material, a battery cell manufactured with the positive electrode plate has relatively high energy density but a relatively low reliability.
[0050] Fabricating a film layer on the surface of the positive electrode current collector as an active material after mixing lithium iron phosphate and lithium nickel cobalt aluminate is advantageous for achieving both high energy density and high reliability of the battery cell. However, after mixing lithium iron phosphate and lithium nickel cobalt aluminate, the lithium iron phosphate is coated on the surface of the lithium nickel cobalt aluminate. Due to the relatively large difference in conductivity between lithium iron phosphate and lithium nickel cobalt aluminate, a large number of electrons will gather on the surface of the lithium nickel cobalt aluminate during the charge and discharge process of the battery cell, affecting the absorption and desorption of lithium ions and thereby affecting the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0051] In view of this, the present application provides a positive electrode plate, which includes a positive electrode current collector and a first film layer and a second film layer provided on the same side of at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector. The first active material in the first film layer has an olivine structure and / or a spinel structure, and the second active material in the second film layer has a layered structure, and the resistivity R1 of the first active material and the resistivity R2 of the second active material satisfy 20≦R2 / R1≦500. In this way, the first active material and the second active material are located in different film layers, which reduces the possibility of the first active material adhering to the surface of the second active material and reduces the difference in resistivity between the first and second active materials, which is advantageous in improving the influence of electron aggregation on the surface of the second active material on lithium ion desorption from the second active material and in improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0052] [Positive electrode plate] 1 is a schematic diagram of a positive electrode plate according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the positive electrode plate 1 includes a positive electrode current collector 10, and a first film layer 11 and a second film layer 12 provided on the same side of at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector 10.
[0053] The positive electrode current collector 10 has two surfaces provided along its thickness direction, and the first film layer 11 and the second film layer 12 are provided on the surface on the same side of the positive electrode current collector 10. Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1 , the first film layer 11 and the second film layer 12 are provided on both of the two surfaces of the positive electrode current collector 10.
[0054] 2 is a schematic diagram of a positive electrode plate according to one embodiment of the present application. In some other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, a first film layer 11 and a second film layer 12 are provided on one of two opposing surfaces of a positive electrode current collector 10 along the thickness direction.
[0055] Optionally, the first film layer 11 may be located between the positive electrode current collector 10 and the second film layer 12 along the thickness direction of the positive electrode current collector 10 (e.g., the z direction in FIG. 1 ). In some other embodiments, the second film layer 12 is located between the positive electrode current collector 10 and the first film layer 11. The positional relationship between the first film layer 11 and the second film layer 12 may be set according to actual circumstances, and the embodiments of the present application are not specifically limited thereto.
[0056] The first film layer 11 includes a first active material including at least one of an olivine structure material and a spinel structure material.
[0057] The olivine structure is a type of crystalline structure of a material, which can indicate the order in which atoms are arranged in space in a material. Materials with the olivine structure have relatively high stability, and when applied to battery cells, they can reduce the risk of fire or explosion under conditions such as high temperatures, which is advantageous for improving the reliability of battery cells.
[0058] Olivine structured materials may include a variety of materials such as LiFePO4.
[0059] The spinel structure is a type of crystalline structure of a material. When a material having the spinel structure is used in a battery cell, the battery cell has a relatively high reliability and is advantageous in reducing the risk of fire or explosion of the battery cell.
[0060] Materials with a spinel structure may include a variety of materials such as LiMn2O4.
[0061] The second film layer 12 includes a second active material that includes a layered structure material.
[0062] A layered structure is a type of crystalline structure of a material. Materials with a layered structure have a relatively high gram capacity, and when applied to a battery cell, can improve the energy density of the battery cell. Here, gram capacity may refer to the ratio of the amount of electricity that an active material can release to the mass of the active material.
[0063] The layered structure material may include multiple materials, such as LiMO2, where M includes at least one of Co, Ni, and Mn.
[0064] The first film layer 11 includes a first active material, and the second film layer 12 includes a second active material, and the first film layer 11 and the second film layer 12 are different film layers. In this way, the possibility of contact between the first active material and the second active material is reduced, reducing the risk that the first active material will adhere to or coat the surface of the second active material. Furthermore, it is possible to improve the aggregation phenomenon of electrons on the surface of the second active material due to the difference in conductivity between the first active material and the second active material, which is advantageous in reducing the effect of the aggregated electrons on the desorption of lithium ions from the second active material and in improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0065] The first film layer 11 includes a first active material, and the second film layer 12 includes a second active material. Compared with a battery cell including only the second active material (e.g., a layered ternary material), a battery cell manufactured with the positive electrode plate of the embodiment of the present application has higher reliability and a reduced probability of explosion under extreme conditions (e.g., under nail penetration test conditions).
[0066] The resistivity R1 of the first active material and the resistivity R2 of the second active material satisfy the relationship 20≦R2 / R1≦500.
[0067] The resistivity of the first active material may refer to the resistivity of the first active material in powder form, and the resistivity of the second active material may refer to the resistivity of the second active material in powder form.
[0068] Setting R2 / R1 to 20≦R2 / R1≦500 makes it possible to reduce the difference in electrical conductivity between the first active material and the second active material, which is advantageous for improving the phenomenon of electron aggregation on the surface of the second active material caused by an excessively large difference in electrical conductivity between the first active material and the second active material. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the effect of electron aggregation on the surface of the second active material on the desorption of lithium ions from the second active material, thereby reducing the risk of excessive desorption of lithium ions from the second active material, which is advantageous for improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0069] The cycle performance of a battery cell can be measured by its capacity retention, which is the ratio of its retention capacity to its initial discharge capacity. The retention capacity may refer to the discharge capacity of a battery cell after the battery cell has completed a certain number of charge-discharge cycles. The initial discharge capacity may refer to the discharge capacity of a battery cell when the battery cell undergoes an initial charge-discharge test.
[0070] Alternatively, the positive electrode current collector 10 may be an aluminum foil or a composite current collector made of a metal and a polymer material.
[0071] The positive electrode plates of the embodiments of the present application can be used to manufacture battery cells, which can be used in various power consuming devices, such as electric vehicles, lighting fixtures, etc.
[0072] An embodiment of the present application provides a positive electrode plate 1, which includes a positive electrode current collector 10 and a first film layer 11 and a second film layer 12 provided on the same side of at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector 10. The first film layer 11 includes a first active material, which includes at least one of an olivine structure material and a spinel structure material, and the second film layer 12 includes a second active material including a layered structure material. The provision of the first film layer 11 and the second film layer 12 is advantageous for achieving both high energy density and high reliability of the battery cell, while also reducing the possibility that the first active material will adhere to or coat the surface of the second active material, thereby reducing the number of electrons that gather on the surface of the second active material and reducing the effect of the aggregated electrons on the desorption of lithium ions from the second active material, which is advantageous for improving the cycle performance of the battery cell. The resistivity R1 of the first active material and the resistivity R2 of the second active material satisfy the relationship 20≦R2 / R1≦500. Thus, the difference in resistivity between the first active material and the second active material is relatively small, which can reduce the electrons gathering on the surface of the second active material, and further reduce the electrons gathering on the surface of the second active material, which can reduce the effect of excessive desorption of lithium ions from the second active material, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery cell. Therefore, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are advantageous to improving the performance of the battery cell.
[0073] In some embodiments, the resistivity R1 of the first active material and the resistivity R2 of the second active material satisfy the relationship 50≦R2 / R1≦300.
[0074] In this example, by setting R2 / R1 to 50≦R2 / R1≦300, the difference in electrical conductivity between the first active material and the second active material is further reduced, the electrons that gather on the surface of the second active material are further reduced, and the risk of excessive desorption of lithium ions from the second active material is reduced, which is advantageous for improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0075] In some embodiments, the resistivity R1 of the first active material is between 10 Ω·cm and 80 Ω·cm.
[0076] Optionally, the resistivity of the first active material is measured at 4 MPa. At different pressures, the resistivity of the first active material is different.
[0077] If the resistivity R1 of the first active material is less than 10 Ω·cm, the manufacturing process of the first active material is relatively complicated, for example, it is necessary to coat a large amount of conductive material on the outer layer of the olivine structure material, which results in relatively high costs and a relatively small improvement in energy density. It is also disadvantageous to reduce the difference in resistivity between the first active material and the second active material, and the improvement in the cycle performance of the battery cell is relatively small.
[0078] If the resistivity R1 of the first active material is greater than 80 Ω·cm, the conductive performance of the first active material is relatively low, which is unfavorable for improving the conductivity of the first film layer 11, affecting the overall capacity of the battery cell, and the improvement in energy density is relatively small.
[0079] In this example, the resistivity R1 of the first active material is 10 Ω·cm to 80 Ω·cm, which facilitates the production of the first active material and is advantageous in achieving both the conductivity of the first film layer 11 and the cycle performance of the battery cell, thereby improving the performance of the battery cell.
[0080] Optionally, the resistivity R1 of the first active material is 20 Ω·cm to 60 Ω·cm, which is advantageous for further improving the performance of the battery cell.
[0081] In some embodiments, the resistivity R2 of the second active material is between 1500 Ω·cm and 15000 Ω·cm.
[0082] Optionally, the resistivity of the second active material is measured at 4 MPa. At different pressures, the resistivity of the second active material is different.
[0083] If the resistivity R2 of the second active material is smaller than 1500 Ω·cm, the manufacturing complexity of the second active material is relatively high, and it is necessary to synthesize extremely small crystal particles by adjusting the synthesis process, which results in a relatively high manufacturing cost.
[0084] If the resistivity R2 of the second active material is greater than 15,000 Ω cm, the conductive performance of the second active material is relatively low, which is unfavorable for improving the conductivity of the second film layer 12. In addition, it is unfavorable for reducing the difference in resistivity between the first active material and the second active material, which is unfavorable for reducing the improvement in the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0085] Optionally, second active materials with different resistivities can be obtained by changing the manufacturing process of the second active material, the proportion of neutralizing elements in the second active material, or by providing a conductive coating layer on the second active material.
[0086] In this example, the resistivity R2 of the second active material is 1500 Ω·cm to 15000 Ω·cm, which facilitates the production of the second active material and is advantageous in achieving both the conductivity of the second film layer 12 and the cycle performance of the battery cell, thereby improving the performance of the battery cell.
[0087] Optionally, the resistivity R2 of the second active material is 3000 Ω·cm to 9000 Ω·cm, which is advantageous for further improving the performance of the battery cell.
[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second membrane layer 12 is located on the surface of the first membrane layer 11 away from the positive electrode current collector 10 .
[0089] The second membrane layer 12 is located on the surface of the first membrane layer 11 that is away from the positive electrode current collector 10, that is, along the thickness direction of the positive electrode current collector 10, the first membrane layer 11 is located between the positive electrode current collector 10 and the second membrane layer 12.
[0090] Optionally, the first film layer 11 is in direct contact with the positive electrode current collector 10. For example, a slurry for producing the first film layer 11 is applied to the surface of the positive electrode current collector 10, and after a process such as drying, the first film layer 11 is formed.
[0091] Alternatively, the first membrane layer 11 may be in direct contact with the second membrane layer 12. For example, after the first membrane layer is manufactured, a slurry for manufacturing the second membrane layer 12 may be applied to the surface of the first membrane layer 11, and after a process such as drying, the second membrane layer 12 may be formed. Alternatively, for example, the first membrane layer 11 and the second membrane layer 12 may be manufactured by simultaneously applying corresponding slurries to the surface of the positive electrode current collector 10 using a specific coating tool.
[0092] In this embodiment, the second active material in the second film layer 12 includes a material having a layered structure, and the second film layer 12 is located on the surface of the first film layer 11 away from the positive electrode current collector 10, which is advantageous in reducing the transmission paths of lithium ions to the second active material and in enabling the second active material to exhibit its performance, thereby improving the energy density and cycle performance of the battery cell.

[0094] The first membrane layer 11 is located on the surface of the second membrane layer 12 that is farther from the positive electrode current collector 10; that is, along the thickness direction of the positive electrode current collector 10, the second membrane layer 12 is located between the first membrane layer 11 and the positive electrode current collector 10.
[0095] In this embodiment, the first film layer 11 is located on the surface of the second film layer 12 that is farther from the positive electrode current collector 10, and the first film layer 11 is located on the outermost side of the positive electrode current collector 10, which is advantageous in improving the reliability of the battery cell and reducing the risk of fire or explosion.

[0097] For example, materials having an olivine structure have relatively poor electrical conductivity, and providing a first coating layer on the surface of the first active material core is advantageous in improving the electrical conductivity of the first active material. For example, by setting the mass ratio of the first coating layer in the first active material, different resistivities of the first active material can be achieved.
[0098] In this embodiment, the first coating layer coats the first active material core and is advantageous in improving the conductive performance of the first active material.

[0100] Selectively, M 1 contains at least one of Cr, Mg, Ti, Al, Zn, W, Nb, and Zr.
[0101] Optionally, LiFe 1-x-y Mn x M 1 y PO4 is LiFePO4, LiMnPO4, LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO4. As such, the stability of the olivine structure material is relatively high, which is advantageous for improving the reliability of the battery cell.
[0102] In some embodiments, the spinel structure material is LiMn2O4, LiNi eMn 2-e contains at least one of O4, where 0 < e < 2. A battery cell manufactured from a spinel-structured material has relatively high reliability and is advantageous for reducing the probability of ignition and explosion of the battery cell.

The layered-structured material has a relatively high gram capacity, which is advantageous for improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0104] When the thickness d1 of the first film layer 11 is 40 μm or more, the stability of the first active material is relatively high, so that a thick first film layer 11 is advantageous for improving the reliability of the battery cell; when the thickness d1 of the first film layer 11 is 160 μm or less, the first film layer 11 occupies an appropriate space, and when the volume of the battery cell is limited, the first film layer 11 provides more space for the second film layer 12, which is advantageous for improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0107] In this embodiment, the thickness d1 of the first film layer 11 is 40 μm to 160 μm, which is advantageous for achieving both reliability and energy density of the battery cell.
[0108] The thicknesses of the first film layer 11 and the second film layer 12 can be measured using a scanning electron microscope. For example, the thicknesses can be obtained by measuring the magnification of the scanning electron microscope and the size of the image obtained by the scanning electron microscope.
[0109] Optionally, the thickness d1 of the first film layer 11 is 60 μm to 140 μm, which is advantageous to further balance the process feasibility, performance reliability and energy density of the battery cell.

[0111] In some embodiments, the thickness d2 of the second membrane layer 12 is between 40 μm and 160 μm.
[0112] If the thickness d2 of the second membrane layer 12 is 40 μm or more, the gram capacity of the second active material is relatively high, so a thick second membrane layer 12 is advantageous for improving the energy density of the battery cell. If the thickness d2 of the second membrane layer 12 does not exceed 160 μm, more space can be provided for the first membrane layer when the volume of the battery cell is constant, which is advantageous for improving the reliability of the battery cell.
[0113] In this embodiment, the thickness d2 of the second film layer 12 is 40 μm to 160 μm, which is advantageous for achieving both reliability and energy density of the battery cell.
[0114] Optionally, the thickness d2 of the second film layer 12 is 60 μm to 140 μm, which is advantageous in further achieving a balance between the reliability and energy density of the battery cell.

[0116] When the mass ratio of the first active material to the first film layer 11 is 90 wt% or more, it is advantageous to improve the energy density of the battery cell. When the mass ratio of the first active material to the first film layer 11 exceeds 99 wt%, a conductive agent, adhesive, etc. may be added to the first film layer, which is advantageous to improve the conductivity of the first film layer 11 and the adhesive strength between the first film layer 11 and the positive electrode current collector 10 or the second film layer 12.
[0117] In this embodiment, by rationally setting the mass ratio between the first active material and the first film layer 11, it is advantageous to improve the overall performance of the first film layer 11, and to balance the energy density and reliability of the battery cell with the conductivity and adhesive strength of the first film layer 11.

[0184] [Energy density test] At room temperature (25°C±2°C), discharge to the lower limit voltage using a constant current discharge method (1 / 3C rate), then leave it to stand for 30 minutes. Then, charge to the upper cut-off voltage using a constant current / constant voltage charge method (charge at a constant current of 1 / 3C and a constant voltage up to 1 / 20C), leave it to stand for 30 minutes, calculate the discharge energy E (calculated in Wh), repeat this three times, take the average of the three discharge energy E, and divide it by the volume V of the hard case battery cell to obtain the volumetric energy density (calculated in Wh / L) = Eaverage / V.

[0186] As shown in Examples 2-7, rationally setting the resistivity relationship between the first and second active materials can further reduce capacity fade during early cycling and improve the cycle performance of the battery cell. As shown in Examples 8-12, rationally setting the resistivity relationship between the first and second active materials can improve the cycle performance of the battery cell while facilitating the manufacture of the first and second active materials. As shown in Examples 13-20, rationally setting the thicknesses of the first and second film layers can facilitate flexible selection of the energy density, reliability, etc. of the battery cell according to actual conditions while improving the cycle performance of the battery cell. As shown in Examples 21-24, the technical solutions of the examples of the present application can be applied to multiple different active materials. As shown in Examples 25-26, the technical solutions of the examples of the present application can be applied to multiple positive electrode plate structures.
