[0037] Hereinafter, with appropriate reference to the drawings, embodiments specifically disclosing the secondary battery and electric device of the present application will be described in detail. However, unnecessary detailed description may be omitted. For example, detailed description of well-known matters or repeated description of actually identical structures 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 scope of the claims.

[0038] The "ranges" disclosed in this application are defined in the form of lower and upper limits, and a given range is defined by selecting one lower limit and one upper limit, with the selected lower and upper limits defining 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 to 120 and 80 to 110 are listed for a particular parameter, it is understood that ranges of 60 to 110 and 80 to 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 ranges 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, and 2 to 5 are all contemplated. In this application, unless otherwise specified, a numerical range "a to b" 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 a list of all real numbers between "0-5" in this specification, 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 an integer such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.

[0039] Unless otherwise stated, all embodiments and optional embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0040] Unless otherwise stated, all technical features and optional technical features of the present application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0041] Unless otherwise specified, all steps in this application may be performed in order or randomly, but are preferably performed in order. For example, when the method includes steps (a) and (b), it means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed in order, or steps (b) and (a) performed in order. For example, when the method mentioned above may further include step (c), it 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.

[0042] The negative electrode has a certain effect on the energy density and fast charging capability of a battery, and it has been surprisingly discovered that by controlling the negative electrode of the present application, a secondary battery having both high energy density and fast charging characteristics can be obtained.

[0043] Based on this, a first aspect of the present application provides a secondary battery that can achieve both an improvement in the rapid charging performance of the battery and an improvement in the energy density of the battery.

[0044] The term "secondary battery" referred to in this specification refers to a battery cell, a battery module, or a battery pack.

[0045] A typical secondary battery cell includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, an electrolyte, and a separator. During charging and discharging, active ions shuttle between the positive and negative electrodes, absorbing and desorbing. The electrolyte serves to conduct ions between the positive and negative electrodes. The separator, located between the positive and negative electrodes, primarily prevents short circuits between the positive and negative electrodes and allows ions to pass through.

[0046] [Negative electrode plate] The secondary battery includes a negative electrode plate, and the negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer formed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector.

[0047] The negative electrode film layer has a first surface adjacent to the negative electrode current collector and a second surface disposed opposite the first surface, and a region of the negative electrode film layer extending from the first surface to a certain thickness in the thickness direction constitutes a lower region, and a region of the negative electrode film layer extending from the second surface to a certain thickness in the thickness direction constitutes an upper region.

[0048] The thickness of the negative electrode film layer is denoted as H, and the thickness of the lower region can be any value within the range of 0.1H to 0.9H. For example, the thickness of the lower region can be 0.1H, 0.2H, 0.3H, 0.4H, 0.5H, 0.6H, 0.7H, 0.8H, or 0.9H.

[0049] The thickness of the upper region can be any value within the range of 0.1H to 0.9H, and for example, the thickness of the upper region can be 0.1H, 0.2H, 0.3H, 0.4H, 0.5H, 0.6H, 0.7H, 0.8H, or 0.9H.

[0050] Optionally, the negative electrode film layer further includes an intermediate region.

[0051] 1 to 3, schematic diagrams of several different specific embodiments of the negative electrode plate of the present application are shown. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the negative electrode plate 10 includes a negative electrode current collector 101 and a negative electrode film layer 102 formed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector 101. The negative electrode film layer 102 has a first surface 102b adjacent to the negative electrode current collector 101 and a second surface 102a opposite the first surface 102b. The thickness of the negative electrode film layer 102 is denoted as H. The thickness H of the negative electrode film layer is the thickness of the negative electrode film layer located on one side of the negative electrode current collector. The region of the negative electrode film layer within a certain thickness range (e.g., 0.3H) from the second surface 102a to the negative electrode film layer is denoted as an upper region 1022 of the negative electrode film layer. The region of the negative electrode film layer within a certain thickness range (e.g., 0.3H) from the first surface 102b to the negative electrode film layer is denoted as a lower region 1021 of the negative electrode film layer. The lower region 1021 includes a first negative electrode active material, and the upper region 1022 includes a second negative electrode active material. A region between the upper region 1022 and the lower region 1021 and occupying a range of thickness 0.4H is referred to as an intermediate region 1023. As can be easily understood from FIGS. 1 to 3 , the range of the intermediate region 1023 may include only the first negative electrode active material, only the second negative electrode active material, or both the first and second negative electrode active materials.

[0052] 1 to 3, the first surface 102b is in contact with the top surface of the negative electrode current collector 101, but the structure of the negative electrode plate of the present application is not limited thereto. For example, there may be an additional layer between the negative electrode film layer 102 and the negative electrode current collector 101. In this case, the first surface 102b is not in direct contact with the negative electrode current collector 101.

[0053] Specifically, FIGS. 1 to 3 show that the first and second negative electrode active materials are sequentially applied onto the negative electrode current collector 101. FIG. 1 shows that the thicknesses of the lower and upper regions each account for approximately half of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer 102. FIG. 2 shows that the thickness of the upper region accounts for approximately 30% of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer 102, and the thickness of the lower region accounts for approximately 70% of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer 102. FIG. 3 shows a configuration opposite to that of FIG. 2, i.e., the thickness of the lower region accounts for approximately 30% of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer 102, and the thickness of the upper region accounts for approximately 70% of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer 102.

[0054] It should be understood that Figures 1 to 3 are schematic diagrams of ideal situations. The present application does not particularly limit the thickness ratio of the lower region to the upper region, and for example, the ratio can be any ratio ranging from 1:9 to 9:1. Illustratively, the thickness ratio of the lower region to the upper region can be 1:9, 2:8, 3:7, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4, 7:3, 8:2, 9:1, etc., or a ratio between any two ratios.

[0055] It should further be understood that although Figures 1-3 show clear boundaries between regions, such clear interfaces may not exist in the product.

[0056] In the present application, the median of the Raman values ​​ID / IG of the first negative electrode active material is R1 50 The median of the Raman values ​​ID / IG of the second negative electrode active material is expressed as R2 50 and R1 50 is R2 50 In the above technical proposal, the median value of the Raman value ID / IG represents the degree of disorder on the entire surface of the material. The smaller the median value of the Raman value ID / IG, the smaller the degree of disorder on the entire surface of the material, and the smaller the median value of the Raman value ID / IG of the material, the more favorable the energy density.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the first negative electrode active material may be selected from highly anisotropic raw materials or highly graphitized materials produced by a high-temperature graphitization process, for example, acicular coke graphite fluorinated rings, petroleum coke graphite fluorinated rings, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the second negative electrode active material may be a graphite material with a relatively high degree of disorder to obtain a second negative electrode active material with a relatively large median Raman value I / I. Alternatively, the second negative electrode active material may be produced by selecting a process for coating graphite with a highly disordered coating layer, e.g., by coating graphite with a hard carbon coating layer.

[0059] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the median value of the Raman coefficient ID / IG of the first negative electrode active material in the lower region is relatively low, which is advantageous to the energy density of the battery.

[0060] Furthermore, a larger median Raman value, ID / IG, indicates a greater degree of disorder across the material surface, which favors ionic charge exchange at the surface of the negative electrode active material.

[0061] In the above technical solution, the median Raman coefficient ID / IG of the second negative electrode active material in the upper region is relatively high, which is favorable for charge exchange on the surface of the negative electrode active material, thereby improving the dynamic performance.

[0062] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the median Raman values ​​I / I of the second negative electrode active material are not only greater than but also uniformly distributed, which is more favorable for lithium ion transport and kinetic performance.

[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the degree of graphitization of the first negative electrode active material is greater than the degree of graphitization of the second negative electrode active material.

[0064] In the present application, by controlling the first negative electrode active material in the lower region to have a relatively low median Raman value I D / I G and the second negative electrode active material in the upper region to have a relatively high median Raman value I D / I G , and by controlling the degree of graphitization of the first negative electrode active material to be greater than the degree of graphitization of the second negative electrode active material, it is possible to improve the fast charging performance of the lithium ion battery while simultaneously improving the energy density of the lithium ion battery.

[0065] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the above R1 50 is 0.05 to 0.15.

[0066] Further optionally, illustratively, in some embodiments of the present application, the above R 50 is 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15 or a range between any two of the aforementioned values.

[0067] In the above technical proposal, R1 50 By setting the value to 0.05 to 0.15, the R2 50 This allows for improved rapid charging performance of lithium-ion batteries while also improving their energy density.

[0068] Further optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, R1 50 is 0.05 to 0.10.

[0069] Illustratively, in some embodiments of the present application, the above R 50 is 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09 or 0.10.

[0070] In the above technical proposal, R1 50 If is limited to the range of 0.05 to 0.10, it is more advantageous to simultaneously improve the rapid charging performance of the lithium ion battery and improve the energy density of the lithium ion battery.

[0071] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, R2 50 is 0.20 to 0.40.

[0072] Illustratively, in some embodiments of the present application, the above R2 50 is 0.20, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.28, 0.30, 0.35, 0.38, 0.39, 0.40 or a range between any two of the foregoing values.

[0073] In the above technical proposal, R2 50 By setting R1 to 0.20 to 0.40, 50 This allows for improved rapid charging performance of lithium-ion batteries while also improving their energy density.

[0074] Further optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, R2 50 is 0.25 to 0.35.

[0075] For example, R2 50 is 0.25, 0.26, 0.28, 0.31, 0.32 or 0.35.

[0076] In the above technical proposal, R2 50 By limiting the value of β to the range of 0.25 to 0.35, it is more advantageous to improve the rapid charging performance of the lithium ion battery while simultaneously improving the energy density of the lithium ion battery.

[0077] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the degree of graphitization of the first negative electrode active material is ≧92%, and optionally 93-95%.

[0078] In the above technical solution, the graphitization degree of the first negative electrode active material is set to be ≧94%, which can more effectively improve the energy density of the lithium ion battery and is also advantageous for improving the fast charging performance of the lithium ion battery.

[0079] Further optionally, in some optional embodiments of the present application, the graphitization degree of the first negative electrode active material is 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, or a range between any two of the aforementioned values.

[0080] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the graphitization degree of the second negative electrode active material is ≧91%, and optionally 92 to 94%.

[0081] In the above technical solution, the graphitization degree of the second negative electrode active material is set to be 91% or more, which can more effectively improve the energy density of the lithium ion battery and is also advantageous to improving the fast charging performance of the lithium ion battery.

[0217] [Performance test method] Each performance parameter in all examples and comparative examples is measured according to the following method.

[0218] (1) Raman median R of the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer 50 . The Raman spectrum of each carbon material may be obtained using a laser confocal Raman spectrometer, with a laser wavelength of 532 nm. During testing, an appropriate amount of sample is taken and its surface is scanned in all directions, with a scanning area of ​​100 μm × 100 μm, a step size of 2 μm, and a total of 2500 scanning points. Raman spectra are obtained at different positions, and corresponding Raman values ​​ID / IG are obtained. The testing equipment may be a high-precision Renishaw laser confocal Raman spectrometer. The Raman values ​​ID / IG obtained from the 2500 scanned points are sorted in ascending order and labeled 1#, 2#, 3#, ..., 2500#, respectively. The Raman value ID / IG corresponding to the 50% ranking of the scanning points (corresponding to 1250#) is defined as R50, also referred to as the median Raman value ID / IG. In this application, the median Raman value ID / IG of the first negative electrode active material is defined as R1. 50 The median of the Raman values ​​ID / IG of the second negative electrode active material is expressed as R2 50 (2) The gram volume of the material.

[0219] The negative electrode active material, conductive agent Super P, and adhesive (PVDF) were uniformly mixed with the solvent NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) in a mass ratio of 91.6:1.8:6.6 to prepare a slurry. The slurry was then applied to a copper foil current collector to prepare a negative electrode film layer, which was then dried in an oven and cold-pressed for use. The compaction density of the negative electrode film layer was 1.3 g / cm. 3A lithium metal sheet was used as the counter electrode, a polyethylene (PE) film as the separator, and ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1:1. LiPF6 was then uniformly dissolved in the solution to obtain an electrolyte solution with a LiPF6 concentration of 1 mol / L. The above components were assembled into a CR2430 button cell in an argon-protected glove box. After allowing the resulting button cell to stand for 12 hours, it was discharged at a constant current of 0.05 C to 0.005 V, allowed to stand for 10 minutes, and then discharged at a constant current of 50 μA to 0.005 V. It was then allowed to stand for 10 minutes, and then discharged at a constant current of 10 μA to 0.005 V. The sum of the three discharge capacities represents the gram capacity of the material.

[0220] (3) Powder compaction density test The powder compaction density of the negative electrode active material has a meaning known in the art and can be tested using a method known in the art. For example, referring to GB / T 24533-2009, it can be tested using an electronic pressure tester (e.g., UTM7305): a certain amount M of powder sample to be tested is placed in a special compaction mold (bottom area S), a different pressure is set (49000 N can be used in this application), the pressure is maintained for 30 seconds, the pressure is removed, and the device is allowed to read the thickness H of the powder after compaction at this pressure, and the compaction density at this pressure can be calculated, where the compaction density of the negative electrode active material at this pressure = M / (H*S).

[0221] (4) Thickness H of the single-sided negative electrode film layer. The thickness H of the single-sided negative electrode film layer can be measured using a micrometer. The thickness of the negative electrode film layer described in this application refers to the thickness of the negative electrode film layer for assembling a battery after being consolidated by cold pressing.

[0222] (5) Degree of orientation of negative electrode active material OI. In accordance with the general principles of X-ray diffraction analysis and the lattice parameter measurement methods for graphite JIS K 0131-1996 and JB / T4220-2011, an X-ray diffraction spectrum was obtained using an X-ray powder diffractometer (X'pert PRO), and the orientation index of the negative electrode material was calculated based on OI=C004 / C110, where C004 is the peak area of ​​the characteristic diffraction peak of 004, and C110 is the peak area of ​​the characteristic diffraction peak of 110.

[0223] (6) Mass energy density of battery At 25°C, the battery cell was charged at a constant current of 0.33C to 4.4V, then charged at a constant voltage until the current reached 0.05C. After leaving the battery cell standing for 5 minutes, the battery cell was discharged at a constant current of 0.33C to 2.8V to obtain the discharge capacity D0.

[0224] Mass energy density = D0 / mass of secondary battery (mass energy density unit: Wh / kg) In the formula, D0 is the measured discharge capacity of the battery core

[0225] (7) Battery rate performance test. At 25°C, the secondary battery is charged at a constant current of 0.33C to 4.4V, then charged at a constant voltage until the current reaches 0.05C. After leaving the battery standing for 5 minutes, the secondary battery is discharged at a constant current of 0.33C to 2.8V, and the actual capacity is recorded as C0.

[0226] Next, the secondary battery was charged at a constant current of 0.5C0, 1.3C0, 2.0C0, 2.8C0, 3.5C0, 4.5C0, and 6.0C0 in order to a negative electrode cutoff potential of 4.4V or 0V (based on the first one reached). After each charge, it was necessary to discharge it to 2.8V at 1C0, and discharge it at different charge rates of 10%, 20%, 30%, ..., 80% SOC (State of Charge). The negative electrode potential corresponding to charging up to 0 V (charge, state of charge) was recorded, and charge rate-negative electrode potential curves at different SOC states were plotted and linearly fitted to obtain the charge rates corresponding to 0 V at different SOC states. These charge rates, i.e., the charge windows at those SOC states, were denoted as C10% SOC, C20% SOC, C30% SOC, C40% SOC, C50% SOC, C60% SOC, C70% SOC, and C80% SOC, respectively. The charge time T (assuming no lithium deposition in the secondary battery) for the secondary battery from 10% SOC to 80% SOC was calculated using the formula (60 / C20% SOC + 60 / C30% SOC + 60 / C40% SOC + 60 / C50% SOC + 60 / C60% SOC + 60 / C70% SOC + 60 / C80% SOC) × 10%, and is expressed in minutes. The shorter this charging time, the better the rapid charging performance of the secondary battery.

[0227] The performance parameters of each of the examples and comparative examples are as shown in Table 3.

[0228] [Table 3]

[0229] The data in the table above reveals the following: Examples 1-6 meet the design of the present application, and the batteries can achieve both good fast charging performance and relatively high energy density.

[0230] As can be seen from Comparative Example 1, the R1 50 is R2 50 Since it is not within the scope of this application, fast charging performance will be affected.

[0231] As can be seen from Comparative Example 2, the negative electrode active material is a physical mixture of Material 1-1 and Material 2-1, and the Raman median values ​​of the negative electrode active materials in the lower and upper regions tend to match, which is not consistent with the design of the present application and also affects the fast charging performance.

[0232] As can be seen from Comparative Examples 3 and 4, when the negative electrode active material contains only material 1-1 or material 2-1, the battery cannot achieve both good rapid charging performance and relatively high energy density.
