[Modes for carrying out the invention]

However, unnecessary details may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of already well-known matters and redundant descriptions of the same actual structure may be omitted. This is to avoid making the following description unnecessarily long and to facilitate understanding for those skilled in the art. The drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand this application and do not limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0029] The “range” disclosed in this application is limited in the form of a lower and upper limit, and a given range is limited by selecting one lower limit and one upper limit, and the boundaries of the special range are limited by the selected lower and upper limits. The range thus limited may include or exclude boundary values ​​and can be any combination, that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range.

Furthermore, if the minimum range values ​​1 and 2 and the maximum range values ​​3, 4 and 5 are listed, then the following ranges, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5, are all expected. In this application, unless otherwise stated, the numerical range “ab” is an abbreviated representation of any combination of real numbers from a to b, where both a and b are real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0-5" refers to all real numbers between "0-5" listed herein, and "0-5" is simply an abbreviated representation of combinations of these numbers. Also, when a parameter indicates an integer ≥ 2, it is equivalent to disclosing that the parameter is an integer such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.

For example, "The method includes steps (a) and (b)" means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed sequentially, or steps (b) and (a) performed sequentially. For example, "The method described above may include step (c)" means that step (c) can be added to the method in any order, for example, the method may include steps (a), (b) and (c), or steps (a), (c) and (b), or steps (c), (a) and (b).

[0033] Unless otherwise specified, the terms “equipment” and “include” as used in this application may be non-limiting or limiting. For example, “equipment” and “include” may further equip or include other components not listed, or they may equip or include only the listed components.

[0034] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "above" and "below" used in this application include the numbers themselves.

[0035] Unless otherwise specified, the term “or” in this application is inclusive. For example, the phrase “A or B” means “A, B, or both A and B.” More specifically, any of the following conditions satisfy the “A or B” condition: A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist); A is false (or does not exist) but B is true (or exists); or both A and B are true (or exist).

[0036] Through practical work, the inventors discovered that by combining lithium iron phosphate particles of different particle sizes, the kinetic and cycle performance of the corresponding secondary battery can be effectively improved. Furthermore, they unexpectedly discovered that by distinguishing lithium iron phosphate particles by particle size and specific surface area, they could avoid the problem where the particle size parameter becomes ineffective when distinguishing them solely by particle size, as the first lithium iron phosphate particle tends to aggregate.

[0037] The inventors found that, through further research, the kinetic and cycle performance of the corresponding secondary battery can be further improved by changing the carbon content of the first lithium iron phosphate particles and the second lithium iron phosphate particles, adjusting the usage ratio of each lithium iron phosphate particle, and layering different lithium iron phosphate particles and adjusting the thickness of each layer.

[0038] [Positive electrode sheet] A first aspect of the present application provides a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet comprising a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material located on the positive electrode current collector, wherein the positive electrode active material is The volume-average particle size D50 is 60-300 nm, preferably 60-200 nm, and the specific surface area is 15 m². 2 Greater than / g, preferably 15-25m 2 A first lithium iron phosphate particle at / g, The volume-average particle size D50 is greater than 800 nm, preferably between 1000 and 1500 nm, and the specific surface area is 10 m². 2 Less than / g, preferably 5-10m 2It contains a second lithium iron phosphate particle in a quantity of / g.

[0039] The positive electrode sheet according to this invention contains first lithium iron phosphate particles and second lithium iron phosphate particles. The first lithium iron phosphate particles have low DC internal resistance and excellent dynamic performance, and the second lithium iron phosphate particles have high compaction density and are less prone to aggregation. These advantages are fully utilized, and the dynamic performance and cycle performance of the corresponding secondary battery can be effectively improved. Furthermore, by distinguishing lithium iron phosphate particles by specific surface area, this invention avoids the situation where the particle size parameter becomes ineffective when lithium iron phosphate particles are distinguished solely by particle size, as the first lithium iron phosphate particles tend to aggregate.

[0040] As an example, the positive electrode sheet of the present application includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material, the positive electrode current collector having two opposing surfaces in the thickness direction of itself, and the positive electrode active material being provided on one or both of the two opposing surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.

[0041] In this application, the volume-average particle size D50 and specific surface area can be measured by methods commonly used in this art, for example, the D50 particle size is measured according to GB / T 19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009, and the specific surface area is measured according to GB / T 19587-2004 "Measurement of Specific Surface Area of ​​Solids by Gas Adsorption BET Method".

[0042] In some embodiments, the content of the first lithium iron phosphate particles is preferably 1-97%, preferably 18-68%, and more preferably 36-68%, based on the total weight of the positive electrode film layer in the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet. Based on the total weight of the positive electrode film layer in the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet, the content of the second lithium iron phosphate particles is 3-99%, preferably 32-82%, and more preferably 32-64%.

[0043] For example, the amount of first lithium iron phosphate particles used may be 19.4%, 38.8%, 48.5%, 58.2%, 64.7%, or 67.9%, and the amount of second lithium iron phosphate particles used may be 29.1%, 32.3%, 38.8%, 48.5%, 58.2%, or 77.6%.

[0044] Using too much of the first type of lithium iron phosphate particle leads to aggregation of many of these particles, which is detrimental to mass production and improving energy density. Similarly, too much of the second type of lithium iron phosphate particle may worsen the battery's dynamic performance and shorten its lifespan. When the content of both types of lithium iron phosphate particles is within the above range, the corresponding secondary battery will have low DC internal resistance and a long lifespan.

[0045] In some embodiments, preferably, in the active material layer of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet, the weight ratio of the first lithium iron phosphate particles to the second lithium iron phosphate particles is 1:0.1-9, preferably 1:0.4-4, and more preferably 1:0.4-1.5. For example, the weight ratio of the first lithium iron phosphate particles to the second lithium iron phosphate particles may be 1:4, 2:3, 1:1, 3:2, 2:1, or 7:3.

[0046] By adjusting the ratio of the first lithium iron phosphate particles to the second lithium iron phosphate particles used, the kinetic and cycle performance of the corresponding battery can be further improved.

[0047] In some embodiments, based on the total weight of the first lithium iron phosphate particles, the carbon content in the first lithium iron phosphate particles is preferably 1.2-2.7%, preferably 1.4-2.2%, and more preferably 1.4-2.0%. Based on the total weight of the second lithium iron phosphate particles, the carbon content in the second lithium iron phosphate particles is 0.7-1.3%, preferably 1-1.2%, and more preferably 1.1-1.2%.

[0048] If the carbon content of both types of lithium iron phosphate particles falls within the above range, the performance of the corresponding secondary battery can be further improved.

[0049] In this invention, the carbon content in lithium iron phosphate particles can be measured by a method commonly used in this field, for example, by infrared absorption spectroscopy. Specifically, the sample to be measured is burned in an oxygen stream to generate CO2. Under constant pressure, the energy of infrared radiation absorbed by CO2 is proportional to its concentration, so the carbon content can be calculated from the energy change before and after the measured CO2 gas passes through an infrared absorber.

[0050] In some embodiments, preferably, the tap density of the first lithium iron phosphate particle powder is 1-1.4 g / cm³. -3 Preferably, 1.1-1.3 g / cm³ -3 More preferably, 1.15-1.25 g / cm³ -3 That is the case.

[0051] In some embodiments, preferably, the tap density of the second lithium iron phosphate particle powder is 1.2–1.6 g / cm³. -3 Preferably, 1.3-1.5 g / cm³ -3 More preferably, 1.35-1.45 g / cm³ -3 That is the case.

[0052] The tap density of lithium iron phosphate particulate powder can be measured by methods commonly used by those skilled in the art, for example, according to GB / T 5162-2006 / ISO3953:1993.

[0053] In some embodiments, preferably, the compaction density of the first lithium iron phosphate particle powder is 2-2.2 g / cm³. 3 That is the case.

[0054] In some embodiments, preferably, the compaction density of the second lithium iron phosphate particle powder is 2-2.45 g / cm³. 3 That is the case.

[0055] Similarly, the compaction density can be measured by methods commonly used by those skilled in the art. For example, the compaction density can be measured by the following method: a certain amount of powder is placed in a mold specifically for compacting powder, the mold is then placed on a compaction density instrument, different pressures are set, and the thickness of the powder at different pressures (thickness after pressure relief) can be read from the instrument. The compaction density can then be calculated using the formula ρ = m / v.

[0056] In some embodiments, preferably, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer in the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode sheet is 2-2.45 g / cm³. 3 Preferably, 2.1-2.3 g / cm³ 3 More preferably, 2.15-2.25 g / cm³ 3 The compaction density of the positive electrode film layer can be measured by a method commonly used in this field. For example, first, a positive electrode sheet is taken per unit area, its mass m1 is measured, then the mass m2 of the positive electrode foil material per unit area is measured, and the mass of the positive electrode film layer is obtained by subtracting m2 from m1. The compaction density of the positive electrode film layer can then be obtained by dividing this mass by the thickness of the positive electrode film layer (sheet thickness minus foil material thickness).

[0057] In some embodiments, preferably, the first lithium iron phosphate particles and the second lithium iron phosphate particles are distributed in a layered manner within the active material layer of the lithium iron phosphate cathode sheet.

[0058] In some embodiments, preferably, the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer is located on the surface of the positive electrode current collector, and the first lithium iron phosphate particle layer is located on the surface of the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer facing the positive electrode current collector.

[0059] Those skilled in the art will understand that the spatial structure design of the electrode sheet layer, particularly the design of an electrode sheet containing two or more active materials, has a significant impact on the performance of a lithium secondary battery. The performance of the battery can be further improved by designing the spatial structure of the electrode sheet. Specifically, in this application, when two types of lithium iron phosphate particles are coated in layers, and in particular the second lithium iron phosphate particle is coated on the surface of the positive electrode current collector and the first lithium iron phosphate particle is coated on the surface of the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer to form a two-layer distribution structure, the advantages of each of the two types of lithium iron phosphate particles can be more effectively utilized, improving the dynamic performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery.

[0060] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first lithium iron phosphate particle layer is preferably 65-250 μm, preferably 80-140 μm, and more preferably 100-140 μm. The thickness of the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer is 60-250 μm, preferably 60-120 μm, and more preferably 60-100 μm.

[0061] For example, the thickness of the first lithium iron phosphate particle layer may be, for example, 80 nm, 100 nm, 120 nm, or 140 nm, and the thickness of the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer may be, for example, 60 nm, 80 nm, 100 nm, or 120 nm. The thicknesses of the first lithium iron phosphate particle layer and the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer can be measured by methods commonly used in this art. For example, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer is measured first, and then the thickness is determined by the ratio of the amount of first lithium iron phosphate particles to the second lithium iron phosphate particles used.

[0062] If the lithium iron phosphate particle layer is too thick, there is a concern that it will degrade the battery's dynamic performance. Conversely, if the lithium iron phosphate particle layer is too thin, there is a concern that the advantages of the two-layer coating will not be fully realized, and further improvements in battery performance will not be possible.

[0063] In some embodiments, the thickness ratio of the first lithium iron phosphate particle layer to the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer is preferably 1:0.1–9, preferably 1:0.4–1.5, and more preferably 1:0.4–1. For example, the thickness ratio of the first lithium iron phosphate particle layer to the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer is 2:3, 1:1, 3:2, or 7:3.

[0064] When the thickness ratio of the first lithium iron phosphate particle layer to the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer is within the above range, it helps to further improve the kinetic and cycle performance of the corresponding secondary battery.

[0065] In some embodiments, preferably, the surface density of the first lithium iron phosphate particle layer is 0.1-0.3 g / 1540.25 mm 2 Preferably, 0.15-0.25g / 1540.25mm 2 More preferably, 0.15-0.2g / 1540.25mm 2 And, The surface density of the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer is 0.1-0.3 g / 1540.25 mm 2 Preferably, 0.15-0.25g / 1540.25mm 2 More preferably, 0.15-0.2g / 1540.25mm 2 That is the case.

[0066] Furthermore, this application does not impose any special restrictions on the coating method, and commonly used coating methods in this field, such as scraper coating, roller coating, and slit extrusion coating, can be employed.

[0067] In some embodiments, the positive electrode current collector can be a metal foil sheet or a composite current collector. For example, aluminum foil can be used as the metal foil sheet. The composite current collector includes a polymer material substrate layer and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material substrate layer. The composite current collector can be formed by forming a metal material (such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver, and silver alloy) on a polymer material substrate (for example, a substrate such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), or polyethylene (PE)).

[0068] In some embodiments, preferably, the lithium iron phosphate cathode sheet further comprises a binder. For example, the binder may include at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and fluorine-containing acrylate resins.

[0069] In some embodiments, the binder preferably accounts for 0.1-3.5% of the total weight of the positive electrode film layer, and more preferably 0.5-2.5%.

[0070] In some embodiments, preferably, the lithium iron phosphate cathode sheet further comprises a conductive agent. For example, the conductive agent may include at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, cochin black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

[0071] In some embodiments, the conductive agent preferably accounts for 0.05-2.0% of the total weight of the positive electrode film layer, and more preferably 0.1-1.5%.

[0072] In some embodiments, preferably, the lithium iron phosphate cathode sheet further comprises other additives such as surfactants, wetting agents, and rheological modifiers.

[0121] The amounts of the first lithium iron phosphate particles and the second lithium iron phosphate particles used were the same as in Example 1, i.e., the total amount of the upper and lower layers was the same as in Example 1. The thickness of the first lithium iron phosphate particle layer in the obtained positive electrode sheet was 100 μm, and the thickness of the second lithium iron phosphate particle layer was 100 μm.

[0126] Testing methods for related parameters

[0127] 1. Testing with a scanning electron microscope A suitable amount of lithium iron phosphate particles, the target of measurement, is prepared as a sample, and the sample morphology is observed using a ZEISS Sigma 300 scanning electron microscope with reference to standard JY / T010-1996.

[0128] 2. Testing of volume-average particle size D50 Refer to the standard GB / T 19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009 Particle Size Distribution Laser Diffraction Method. Test using a laser particle size analyzer (Malvern 3000, MasterSizer 3000), with a helium-neon red light source as the primary light source. Take a clean beaker, add 1 g of the sample to be measured, add 20 ml of deionized water (ensure the sample concentration has a light shielding rate of 8-12%), add one drop of surfactant to lower the surface tension of the water and aid in particle penetration, and vibrate with ultrasound at 53 kHz / 120 W for 5 min to ensure complete dispersion of the sample. Open the laser particle size analyzer, clean the optical path system, and then automatically test the background. Stir the sample solution after ultrasonic vibration to ensure uniform dispersion, and if necessary, place it in the sample pool and begin particle size measurement. The measurement results can be read from the instrument.

[0129] 3. BET Test For the test method, refer to standard GB / T19587-2004, "Measurement of Specific Surface Area of ​​Solids by Gas Adsorption BET Method."

[0130] 4. DCR test Remove the battery and test its charge and discharge. First, fully charge the battery at 25°C and let it stand for 30 minutes after full charge. After standing, discharge it at a discharge rate of 1C for 30 minutes to adjust to 50% SOC and let it stand for 10 minutes. Adjust the temperature of the insulated box to -10°C and let it stand for 120 minutes, then measure the initial discharge voltage. Next, discharge it at a discharge rate of 3C for 10 seconds, record the lowest voltage during discharge, let it stand for 10 minutes, and obtain the DCR by dividing the difference between the initial 3C discharge voltage and the lowest voltage during 3C discharge by the current value (discharge rate is 3C, current is 78A).

[0131] 5. Cycle performance test At 25°C, the secondary batteries manufactured in the examples and comparative examples are charged with a constant current of 1C (i.e., completely discharged to the theoretical capacity current value within 1 hour) to 3.65V. Then, they are charged with a constant voltage at 3.65V until the current drops to 0.05C, left to stand for 5 minutes, and then discharged with a constant current of 1C to 2.5V, left to stand for 30 minutes. This constitutes one charge-discharge cycle, and the battery capacity C0 at this time is recorded. Following this method, the battery is subjected to n charge-discharge cycles, and the battery capacity after n cycles is recorded as C1. The cycle capacity retention rate of the battery at 25°C = C1 / C0 × 100%. If the measured cycle capacity retention rate of the battery is 80%, the corresponding number of cycles n is recorded.

[0132] [Table 1]

[0133] As can be seen from the above results, the secondary battery manufactured in Example 1-16 of this application has a lower DCR and better cycle performance than the battery in Comparative Example 1-4. Furthermore, the kinetic performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery can be further improved by adjusting the amount and spatial distribution of the first lithium iron phosphate particles and the second lithium iron phosphate particles.
