[0019] The technical solution of this application has the following advantages: The secondary battery according to the present application comprises a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and an electrolyte, the electrolyte containing an organic solvent, the organic solvent including a cyclic ester solvent and a chain ester solvent, and the secondary battery satisfies the following relational expression (1). By optimizing the composition and content of the electrolyte and adjusting the active material layer of the negative electrode plate, the secondary battery exhibits good dynamic characteristics at low temperatures, good capacity retention and low impedance under low-temperature conditions, and generally does not suffer from lithium elution. The electrolyte is one of the main components of a lithium-ion battery and is one of the factors that affect the performance of the secondary battery. The solvent is an important component of the electrolyte and significantly affects the performance of the secondary battery, such as its cycle life, impedance, and dynamic characteristics. The present application optimizes the electrolyte, negative electrode plate, and battery capacity, and comprehensively designs parameters such as the electrolyte solvent composition, electrolyte viscosity, electrical conductivity, and battery capacity, thereby significantly improving the low-temperature dynamic characteristics of the secondary battery, reducing the impedance of the secondary battery, and increasing the low-temperature capacity retention. Among these, cyclic ester solvents have a high dielectric constant and a high viscosity, while chain ester solvents have a low dielectric constant and a low viscosity. Controlling the ratio of the cyclic ester solvent to the chain ester solvent within an appropriate range contributes to improving the dynamic characteristics of secondary batteries. In the secondary battery according to the present application, the viscosity of the electrolyte affects the migration speed of lithium ions in the electrolyte, and if the viscosity of the electrolyte is within the range of the present application, the transport of lithium ions is further improved, the impedance of the secondary battery is reduced, and the cycle characteristics of the battery are improved. In addition to satisfying the following relational expression (1), the low viscosity of the electrolyte promotes the transport of lithium ions in the electrolyte, further improving the dynamic characteristics. By limiting the conductivity of the electrolyte, it is possible to more reliably prevent phenomena such as lithium elution during high current operation. The amount of electrolyte injected into a secondary battery is affected by the design capacity of the battery. If the amount injected is too small, it will be difficult to completely impregnate the positive and negative electrodes, which will affect the degree of lithium ion deintercalation during the charge and discharge process, and will affect the impedance, capacity, cycle life, lithium elution, and other issues of the secondary battery. If the amount injected is too large, side reactions will increase, causing gas generation and swelling. If the packing density PD of the negative electrode active material layer in the negative electrode plate is too low, the battery's energy density will be affected and the negative electrode slurry application process will be difficult to control. If the packing density PD is too high, the electrolyte will not easily penetrate the negative electrode active material layer, which will affect the battery's dynamic characteristics. By setting an appropriate packing density PD, the battery's dynamic characteristics and energy density can be further improved. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

number
[0022] In some embodiments of the present application,
number
[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio β of the cyclic ester solvent to the chain ester solvent is 0.25 to 0.85. For example, it may be 0.25, 0.30, 0.33, 0.35, 0.38, 0.40, 0.43, 0.45, 0.47, 0.50, 0.53, 0.55, 0.57, 0.60, 0.63, 0.65, 0.67, 0.70, 0.72, 0.74, 0.78, 0.80, 0.82, 0.85, or a range consisting of any two of these values. When the mass ratio P of the cyclic ester solvent to the chain ester solvent is within the above range, the viscosity and conductivity of the electrolyte are relatively stable, lithium ion diffusion at low temperatures is facilitated, the dynamic behavior of lithium ions is maintained, and the risk of lithium elution is reduced.
[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio β of the cyclic ester solvent to the chain ester solvent is 0.33 to 0.82.
[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the conductivity σ of the electrolyte solution is 9 to 13. For example, it may be 9, 9.3, 9.5, 9.7, 10.0, 10.4, 10.7, 11.0, 11.3, 11.5, 11.7, 12.0, 12.2, 12.4, 12.5, 12.7, 13.0, or a range consisting of any two of these values. When the conductivity of the electrolyte solution is in the above range, lithium ions in the electrolyte solution diffuse rapidly, and lithium ions desorbed from the positive electrode reach the negative electrode more quickly, thereby increasing the potential of the negative electrode, effectively improving the dynamic properties of the lithium ions, and further improving lithium elution at low temperatures.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the electrolytic solution has a conductivity σ value of 9.5 to 12.5.
[0027] The conductivity of the electrolyte can be measured using a DDSJ-308A type conductivity meter.
[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the viscosity η of the electrolyte solution is 2 to 5. For example, the viscosity η may be 2, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3.0, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7, 3.9, 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8, 5.0, or a range consisting of any two of these values. When the viscosity η of the electrolyte solution is within the above range, the larger the η, the higher the viscosity of the electrolyte solution, which adversely affects the diffusion of lithium ions at low temperatures, reduces the dynamic behavior of lithium ions, and poses a risk of lithium elution.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the viscosity η of the electrolyte solution is 2.5 to 4.5.
[0030] In this application, the viscosity of the electrolyte may be measured using an 1835 Ubbelohde viscometer.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the weight value of the electrolyte, Mel. teeth The weight of the electrolyte is 11 to 16. For example, it may be 11, 11.2, 11.5, 11.7, 12, 12.2, 12.4, 12.8, 13, 13.3, 13.5, 13.7, 14, 14.3, 14.5, 14.7, 15, 15.5, 16, or a range consisting of any two of these values. When the weight of the electrolyte is within the above range, the amount of circulating gas generated by the battery is within an appropriate range, preventing an excessive increase in the internal pressure of the battery, which could cause the explosion-proof valve to burst and lead to battery failure, and also reducing black spots of bubbles generated at the interface of the negative electrode plate. Furthermore, the electrolyte allows for good mobility of lithium ions, improving the cycle characteristics and dynamic characteristics of the battery.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the weight value Mel. of the electrolyte is 13 to 15. When Mel. is in this range, the electrolyte can transfer lithium ions more efficiently, while the amount of gas generated by the battery is reduced, resulting in better overall battery performance.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the Mel. / Cap. value is 3-6.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the value of PD is 1.1 to 1.65. When PD is in the above range, the packed density affects the movement of lithium ions in the negative electrode, and if the packed density is too high, the diffusion rate of lithium ions decreases, which affects low-temperature performance, particularly at low temperatures, and causes lithium elution. Furthermore, if the packed density is too high, it affects the impregnation of the electrolyte.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the value of PD is 1.2 to 1.6.
[0036] In some embodiments herein, the linear ester solvent comprises at least one of a linear carbonate and a linear carboxylate.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the silicon-containing additive is present in an amount of 0.1 to 4% by mass relative to the mass of the electrolyte.
[0043] In some embodiments herein, the cyclic carbonate additive comprises at least one of vinylene carbonate, vinyl ethylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, or difluoroethylene carbonate.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the cyclic carbonate additive is present in an amount of 0.05 to 3% by mass relative to the mass of the electrolyte solution.
[0045] In some embodiments herein, the sulfur-containing additive comprises at least one of 1,3-propane sultone or vinyl sulfate.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the sulfur-containing additive is present in an amount of 0.05 to 3% by weight relative to the weight of the electrolyte.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the electrolyte additive comprises a silicon-containing additive and a sulfur-containing additive, and the content of the silicon-containing additive relative to the mass of the electrolyte is W. si %, and the content of the sulfur-containing additive is W s %, and 0.3≦W si +W s ≦4. When the electrolyte solution contains both a silicon-containing additive and a sulfur-containing additive, they can form an SEI film with a relatively low impedance, allowing lithium ions to pass through the SEI film quickly. When the total content of both additives is within the above range, the film formation state is better, and the formed protective film has good quality and thickness, improving the diffusibility of lithium ions.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the electrolyte additive comprises a silicon-containing additive and a sulfur-containing additive, and the content of the silicon-containing additive relative to the mass of the electrolyte is W. si %, and the content of the sulfur-containing additive is W s %, and 0.1≦W si / W s ≦5. W si / W s When the value is within the above range, the composition and thickness of the protective film to be formed can be further optimized, and the overall characteristics of the battery can be improved.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the electrolyte solution further comprises a lithium salt additive, and the lithium salt additive comprises at least one of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide, lithium bistrifluoromethanesulfonylimide, lithium difluorooxalate borate, lithium difluorophosphate, and lithium difluorooxalate phosphate. When the electrolyte solution comprises the lithium salt additive, the impedance of the film can be further reduced, the stability of the film formation can be improved, the diffusibility of lithium ions can be improved, and cycle characteristics can also be taken into consideration.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the lithium salt additive in the electrolyte solution is 0.1 to 5% by mass.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer provided on the positive electrode current collector, The positive electrode active material is Li a Fe 1-y Mn y Contains PO4 (0.9≦a≦1.1, 0≦y≦1).

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the positive electrode active material has a coating layer on its surface.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating layer includes a coating element, and the coating element is not limited as long as it can improve the stability of the positive electrode active material.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, a carbon material layer is included on a surface of the positive electrode active material, and the carbon material layer includes amorphous carbon.
[0056] Phosphate-based positive electrode active materials are widely used in lithium batteries due to their advantages of low cost and high safety. However, because phosphate-based positive electrode active materials have poor low-temperature mechanical properties, the combination of a phosphate-based positive electrode active material with the electrolyte and negative electrode plate of the present application can significantly improve the low-temperature performance of the battery. The electrolyte of the present application, the phosphate-based positive electrode active material, and the negative electrode plate all have good compatibility, and the impedance of the formed film can be reduced, stability can be improved, and cycle characteristics can be taken into consideration, and lithium elution at low temperatures can be effectively improved.

If the manufacturers of the reagents or instruments used are not specified, they are all ordinary reagent products that can be purchased on the market. Example 1

Test Example
[0084] This test example provides performance test results of the lithium ion secondary batteries according to the examples and comparative examples, and is specifically as follows. Test method for battery capacity retention rate: The battery was fully charged to the upper limit voltage and discharged to the lower limit voltage at a discharge current of 1C at a temperature of 25°C, and the discharge capacity was taken as C0. The battery was again fully charged to the upper limit voltage at 25°C, and the temperature was adjusted to -20°C, and the battery was discharged to the lower limit voltage at a discharge current of 1C, and the discharge capacity was taken as C1. The capacity retention rate of a lithium-ion secondary battery at -20°C is C1 / C0. Battery DCR (impedance) test method: Adjust the remaining capacity to 50% SOC at 25℃ with a discharge current of 1C, adjust the temperature to -25℃, discharge at 0.36C for 10 seconds, and calculate the discharge DCR at -25℃ using the formula △U / I, where △U is the change in voltage before and after discharge, and I is the discharge current. Battery lithium elution test method: Adjust the temperature to -10℃, charge to the upper voltage limit with a charging current of 0.13C, discharge to the lower voltage limit with a discharging current of 1C, perform 10 charge and discharge cycles, adjust the temperature to 25℃, charge to the upper voltage limit with a charging current of 1C, disassemble the battery, and observe whether lithium elution occurs at the interface. If the area of the lithium eluted area on the negative plate surface is less than 2%, it is considered to be no lithium elution; if the area of the lithium eluted area on the negative plate surface is 2% or more but less than 5%, it is considered to be slight lithium elution; if the area of the lithium eluted area on the negative plate surface is 5% to 50%, it is considered to be lithium elution; and if the area of the lithium eluted area on the negative plate surface is more than 50%, it is considered to be serious lithium elution. [Table 1] TIFF0007778234000005.tif167170
[0085] From the experimental results shown in Table 1, when the parameters of the organic solvent, negative electrode plate, and electrode assembly in the secondary battery satisfy a specific relationship, the secondary battery has a good capacity retention rate and low impedance under low temperature conditions, and the lithium elution phenomenon hardly occurs, although slight lithium elution was observed individually (Example 15).

number
[0087] Compared with Example 1,
number
[0088] Comparing Examples 1 to 3 with Example 19, when the compression density is too high,
number
[0089] In Examples 17 to 18 and Comparative Example 6, the change in the amount of electrolyte injected is different from that in Example 1. When the amount of injection is too low,
number
[0090] The data from Example 1, Examples 8 to 16, and Comparative Example 5 show that the difference in additives does not have a significant effect on the viscosity and conductivity of the electrolyte, and that even when a certain additive is used in excess, lithium dissolution occurs, as in Comparative Example 5. Secondary batteries manufactured with different additive systems do not essentially dissolve lithium at low temperatures, but their capacity retention rates and impedances are different. Furthermore, under the cooperative action of the cyclic carbonate ester additive, silicon-containing additive, sulfonate ester-based additive, and lithium salt-type additive, parameters such as the weight of the electrolyte, the active material layer of the negative electrode plate, and the electrolyte in the secondary battery are rationally designed and rationally quantified.
number
[0091] From the data of Example 1 and Examples 12 to 16, it is clear that 0.3≦W si +W s ≦4, 0.1≦W si / W s If ≦5, the secondary battery has better overall performance.
