[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202311582292.X, filed on November 23, 2023, entitled “A Lithium Secondary Battery and Electrical Device,” which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and in particular to a lithium secondary battery and an electrical device. Background Art

[0004] In recent years, the application of lithium-ion batteries has become increasingly widespread. They are widely used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal, wind, and solar power plants, as well as in power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace, and other fields. With the rapid development of lithium-ion batteries, higher requirements have been placed on their energy density, cycle performance, and safety performance. Improving battery power performance, cycle life, and storage life has always been an industry goal. However, due to side reactions of the electrolyte at the anode and cathode interfaces, the overall performance of the battery cells has been poor.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present application is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a lithium secondary battery, which aims to improve the electrolyte and electrolyte infiltration by improving the electrolyte, thereby reducing the gas production during the circulation and storage process of the lithium secondary battery and comprehensively improving the performance of the lithium secondary battery.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned object, a first aspect of the present application provides a lithium-ion secondary battery, the battery comprising an electrolyte, the electrolyte comprising a carboxylate compound, and the mass percentage A of the carboxylate compound, based on the mass of the electrolyte, is not less than 30% and not more than 70%;

[0008] The battery satisfies: 0.7≤A×(T+L) / H≤7.7,

[0009] Wherein, A is the mass percentage of the carboxylate compound based on the mass of the electrolyte; T is the thickness of the battery casing in a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, in millimeters; L is the length of the battery casing in a direction parallel to the line connecting the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, in millimeters; H is the height of the battery casing in a direction parallel to the direction of gravity when the battery is placed on the ground, in millimeters.

[0010] The carboxylate compounds contained in the electrolyte provided herein have low viscosity, facilitating rapid electrolyte resorption and improving electrolyte wetting. However, carboxylate compounds have poor reduction stability, and excessive amounts can easily cause reduction side reactions at the negative electrode, worsening battery storage gassing. Therefore, when the battery size and carboxylate compound content satisfy the relationship of 0.7 ≤ A × (T + L) / H ≤ 7.7, both battery gassing and electrolyte wetting can be balanced, comprehensively improving battery cycle performance.

[0011] In any embodiment, the carboxylate compound includes a compound having a structure shown in Formula I,

[0012] Wherein, R1 and R2 each independently include at least one of a C1-C6 alkyl group and a C1-C6 halogenated alkyl group.

[0013] In any embodiment, the carboxylate compound includes at least one of ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, methyl formate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, and propyl propionate.

[0014] The carboxylic acid ester solvents mentioned above have a low viscosity, which can better improve the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and better improve the wetting problem of the electrolyte.

[0015] In any embodiment, the electrolyte contains a high-viscosity solvent with a viscosity greater than 0.6 cP at 25° C., and the mass percentage of the high-viscosity solvent is 10%-40% based on the mass of the electrolyte. Optionally, the mass percentage of the high-viscosity solvent is 20%-30%.

[0016] In any embodiment, the dielectric constant of the high-viscosity solvent is ≥60. Optionally, the high-viscosity solvent includes at least one of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC).

[0017] By controlling the content of the high-viscosity solvent within the above range, the gas production and electrolyte infiltration of the battery can be better taken into account, thereby comprehensively improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0018] In any embodiment, the battery comprises an anode membrane, wherein the thickness of the anode membrane is 50-100 μm, optionally, the thickness of the anode membrane is 70-80 μm.

[0019] In any embodiment, the battery comprises a cathode membrane, wherein the thickness of the cathode membrane is 70-130 μm, optionally wherein the thickness of the cathode membrane is 100-120 μm.

[0020] In any embodiment, the battery comprises a separator, and the thickness of the separator is 5-20 μm, optionally, the thickness of the separator is 5-12 μm.

[0021] In any embodiment, the relationship between the thickness C of the separator and the thickness D of the cathode membrane is 5%≤C / D≤20%.

[0022] Increasing the separator thickness to a certain extent facilitates electrolyte wetting of the electrode and allows for faster electrolyte reabsorption when squeezed out. However, increasing the thickness of the electrode increases the resistance to lithium ion transmission, which deteriorates the battery's DC resistance (DCR) to a certain extent. Therefore, when the thickness of the anode, cathode, and separator meet the above relationship, the battery's room temperature cycling performance and DCR can be better improved.

[0023] In any embodiment, the electrolyte contains lithium salt, and the mass percentage of the lithium salt is 8%-20% based on the mass of the electrolyte.

[0024] In any embodiment, the lithium salt includes at least one of LiPF6, LiFSI, and LiTFSI.

[0025] When the lithium salt concentration is high, the electrolyte kinetics is better and the DCR is lower. However, excessive lithium salt content will lead to higher electrolyte viscosity, which is not conducive to electrolyte resorption and leads to poor room temperature cycling performance of the battery. Therefore, when the lithium salt content meets the above range, the battery's DCR and room temperature cycling performance can be better improved.

[0026] In any embodiment, the electrolyte further comprises at least one of an additive X and an additive Y, and based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the additive X is 0.1% to 1%, and the mass percentage of the additive Y is 2% to 6%, wherein the additive X comprises at least one of a cyclic sulfonate and a cyclic sulfate, and the cyclic sulfonate and the cyclic sulfate contain a sulfate group, a sulfite group, and / or a sulfonic acid group, and / or the additive Y comprises at least one of a cyclic carbonate containing an unsaturated bond, and the cyclic carbonate containing an unsaturated bond contains a carbonic acid group.

[0027] In any embodiment, the additive X includes at least one of 1,3-propane sultone (PS), 1,3-propene sultone (PES), butyl sultone (BS), methylene methanedisulfonate (MMDS), and diethylene glycol disulfate (DTD).

[0028] When the electrolyte contains the above-mentioned additive X, the gas generation during battery storage can be better reduced.

[0029] In any embodiment, the additive Y is vinylene carbonate (VC).

[0030] Additive Y is a commonly used SEI film-forming additive. Its film-forming stability effectively reduces interfacial side reactions, thereby enhancing battery cycle performance. Furthermore, VC and additive X exhibit a synergistic effect, further improving the battery's room-temperature lifespan.

[0031] A second aspect of the present application provides an electrical device comprising the lithium secondary battery of the first aspect of the present application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly used in modern society. They are widely used due to their advantages such as low price, high safety and long life, but their energy density is relatively low. In order to improve the energy density of batteries, thick coating, high pressure density and larger batteries are usually adopted, but these will make it more difficult for the electrolyte to infiltrate. If the electrolyte is not fully infiltrated during the cycle, it may affect the transmission of lithium ions and thus affect the life of the battery. By using some new solvents to reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte, the infiltration can be improved, but these new solvents often have other side effects, and the higher the dosage, the more obvious the side effects. The present application achieves the purpose of having better dynamics and high temperature performance through electrolyte formula design and battery design.

[0046] [Lithium secondary battery]

[0047] To achieve the purpose, the first aspect of the present application provides a lithium ion secondary battery, the battery comprising an electrolyte, the electrolyte comprising a carboxylate compound, and the mass percentage A of the carboxylate compound based on the mass of the electrolyte is not less than 30% and not more than 70%;

[0048] The battery satisfies: 0.7≤A×(T+L) / H≤7.7,

[0049] Where A is the mass percentage of the carboxylate compound based on the mass of the electrolyte; T is the thickness of the battery casing perpendicular to the line connecting the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, in millimeters; L is the length of the battery casing parallel to the line connecting the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, in millimeters; H is the height of the battery casing parallel to the direction of gravity when the battery is placed on the ground, in millimeters. In some embodiments, the mass percentage A of the carboxylate compound is 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or a range consisting of any two of the foregoing values, or any value within such a range.

[0050] In some embodiments, A×(T+L) / H is 0.7, 1, 1.4, 1.8, 2.3, 2.8, 3.2, 3.6, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 7.7, or a range consisting of any two of the above points or any value within the range.

[0051] The present application has no particular restrictions on the shape of the secondary battery, which can be cylindrical, square, or any other shape. For example, Figures 1 and 2 show a secondary battery with a square structure as an example, with a thickness T, length L, and height H as shown in the figures.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the positive and negative electrodes of the battery are at the same end of the battery casing, an exemplary structure of a prismatic battery is shown in Figure 1. When the battery shown in Figure 1 is placed on the ground in the manner shown in the figure, with the positive and negative electrodes facing upward, the direction parallel to the direction of gravity is the height H of the battery casing, the direction parallel to the line connecting the positive and negative electrodes of the battery is the length L of the battery casing, and the direction perpendicular to the line connecting the positive and negative electrodes of the battery is the thickness T of the battery casing.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the positive and negative electrodes of the battery are at opposite ends of the battery casing, an exemplary structure of a prismatic battery is shown in Figure 2. When the battery shown in Figure 2 is placed on the ground in the manner shown in the figure, with the positive and negative electrodes facing the sides, the direction parallel to the direction of gravity is the height H of the battery casing, the direction parallel to the line connecting the positive and negative electrodes of the battery is the length L of the battery casing, and the direction perpendicular to the line connecting the positive and negative electrodes of the battery is the thickness T of the battery casing.

[0054] Due to the influence of gravity, the electrolyte in the battery tends to settle at the bottom of the battery. Over time, the electrolyte continues to spread upward and infiltrate the electrode, filling the gaps between the cathode and anode and the pores of the electrode, thereby acting as a bridge for lithium ion transmission. During the battery cycle, as charging and discharging proceed, the electrode continuously expands and contracts, and the electrolyte is continuously squeezed out and reabsorbed. If the viscosity of the electrolyte is high and it is squeezed out and not reabsorbed in time, it may cause a lack of electrolyte between the cathode and anode, or in the pores of the electrode, and fail to form an effective lithium ion transmission path, resulting in rapid battery capacity decay.

[0055] The carboxylate compounds contained in the electrolyte provided herein have low viscosity, facilitating rapid electrolyte resorption and improving electrolyte wetting. However, carboxylate compounds have poor reduction stability, and excessive amounts can easily cause reduction side reactions at the negative electrode, worsening battery storage gassing. Therefore, when the battery size and carboxylate compound content satisfy the relationship of 0.7 ≤ A × (T + L) / H ≤ 7.7, both battery gassing and electrolyte wetting can be balanced, comprehensively improving battery cycle performance.

[0056] In some embodiments, the carboxylate compound includes a compound having a structure shown in Formula I,

[0057] Wherein, R1 and R2 each independently include at least one of a C1-C6 alkyl group and a C1-C6 halogenated alkyl group.

[0058] In some embodiments, in Formula I, R1 and R2 each independently include at least one of a C1-C5 alkyl group and a C1-C5 haloalkyl group.

[0059] In some embodiments, in Formula I, R1 and R2 each independently include at least one of a C1-C4 alkyl group and a C1-C4 haloalkyl group.

[0060] In some embodiments, in Formula I, R1 and R2 each independently include at least one of a C1-C3 alkyl group and a C1-C3 haloalkyl group.

[0061] In some embodiments, in Formula I, R1 and R2 each independently include at least one of a C1-C2 alkyl group and a C1-C2 haloalkyl group.

[0062] In some embodiments, the carboxylate compound includes at least one of ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, methyl formate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, and propyl propionate.

[0063] The carboxylic acid ester solvents mentioned above have a low viscosity, which can better improve the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and better improve the wetting problem of the electrolyte.

[0064] In some embodiments, the electrolyte comprises a high-viscosity solvent having a viscosity greater than 0.6 cP at 25° C., wherein the mass percentage of the high-viscosity solvent is 10% to 40% based on the mass of the electrolyte. "Viscosity" as used herein refers to the resistance of a fluid to flow (test methods may refer to GB / T 2794).

[0065] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the high viscosity solvent is 20%-30%. In some embodiments, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the high viscosity solvent is 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, or a range or any value consisting of any two of the above points.

[0066] In some embodiments, the high viscosity solvent has a dielectric constant ≥60.

[0067] The "dielectric constant," also known as permittivity or relative permittivity, is a key parameter used to characterize the electrical properties of dielectric or insulating materials. It is often represented by ε. It is the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor containing the same material as the dielectric to the capacitance in a vacuum. It indicates the dielectric's relative ability to store electrostatic energy in an electric field (test methods can be found in ASTM D150).

[0068] In some embodiments, the high viscosity solvent includes at least one of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC).

[0069] By controlling the content of the high-viscosity solvent within the above range, the gas production and electrolyte infiltration of the battery can be better taken into account, thereby comprehensively improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0070] In some embodiments, the electrolyte contains lithium salt, and the mass percentage of the lithium salt is 8%-20% based on the mass of the electrolyte.

[0071] In some embodiments, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the lithium salt is 8%, 10%, 12%, 14%, 16%, 18%, 20%, or a range consisting of any two of the above points or any value within the range.

[0072] In some embodiments, the lithium salt includes at least one of LiPF6, LiFSI, and LiTFSI.

[0073] When the lithium salt concentration is high, the electrolyte kinetics is better and the DCR is lower. However, excessive lithium salt content will lead to higher electrolyte viscosity, which is not conducive to electrolyte resorption and leads to poor room temperature cycling performance of the battery. Therefore, when the lithium salt content meets the above range, the battery's DCR and room temperature cycling performance can be better improved.

[0074] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further comprises at least one of an additive X and an additive Y, and based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the additive X is 0.1% to 1%, and the mass percentage of the additive Y is 2% to 6%, wherein the additive X comprises at least one of a cyclic sulfonate and a cyclic sulfate, and the cyclic sulfonate and the cyclic sulfate contain a sulfate group, a sulfite group, and / or a sulfonic acid group, and / or the additive Y comprises at least one of a cyclic carbonate containing an unsaturated bond, and the cyclic carbonate containing an unsaturated bond contains a carbonic acid group.

[0075] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the additive X is 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, or a range consisting of any two of the above points or any value within the range.

[0076] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the additive Y is 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, or a range consisting of any two of the above points or any value within the range.

[0077] In some embodiments, the additive X includes at least one of 1,3-propane sultone (PS), 1,3-propene sultone (PES), butyl sultone (BS), methylene methanedisulfonate (MMDS), and diethylene glycol disulfate (DTD).

[0078] When the electrolyte contains the above-mentioned additive X, the gas generation during battery storage can be better reduced.

[0079] In some embodiments, the additive Y is vinylene carbonate (VC).

[0080] Additive Y is a commonly used SEI film-forming additive. Its film-forming stability effectively reduces interfacial side reactions, thereby enhancing battery cycle performance. Furthermore, VC and additive X exhibit a synergistic effect, further improving the battery's room-temperature lifespan.

[0081] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further comprises ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC).

[0082] EMC can improve low-temperature performance and prevent the electrolyte from solidifying at low temperatures.

[0083] Typically, a secondary battery consists of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a separator. During the battery's charge and discharge processes, active ions are inserted and removed between the positive and negative electrodes. The electrolyte conducts 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 while allowing ions to pass through.

[0084] In some embodiments, the battery comprises an anode membrane, wherein the thickness of the anode membrane is 50-100 μm. In some embodiments, the thickness of the anode membrane is 70-80 μm.

[0085] In some embodiments, the thickness of the anode membrane is 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, or a range consisting of any two of the above points or any value within the range.

[0086] In some embodiments, the battery comprises a cathode membrane, wherein the cathode membrane has a thickness of 70-130 μm.

[0087] In some embodiments, the cathode membrane has a thickness of 100-120 μm.

[0088] In some embodiments, the thickness of the cathode membrane is 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, or a range or any value consisting of any two of the above points.

[0089] In some embodiments, the battery comprises a separator, wherein the separator has a thickness of 5-20 μm. In some embodiments, the separator has a thickness of 5-12 μm.

[0090] In some embodiments, the thickness of the separator is 5 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, or a range consisting of any two of the above points or any value.

[0091] In some embodiments, the relationship between the thickness C of the separator and the thickness D of the cathode membrane is 5%≤C / D≤20%.

[0092] In some embodiments, the relationship between the thickness C of the diaphragm and the thickness D of the cathode diaphragm is 5%≤C / D≤18%, 5%≤C / D≤16%, 5%≤C / D≤14%, 5%≤C / D≤14%, 5%≤C / D≤12%, 5%≤C / D≤10%, 5%≤C / D≤8%, and 5%≤C / D≤6%.

[0093] The electrolyte seeps upward from the bottom of the battery, often first soaking the separator and then flowing out to the electrode. Increasing the separator thickness to a certain extent facilitates electrolyte penetration into the electrode and allows for faster electrolyte reabsorption when squeezed out. However, increasing the electrode thickness increases lithium ion transport resistance, which can degrade the battery's DCR. Therefore, when the thickness of the anode, cathode, and separator meet the above relationship, the battery's room temperature cycling performance and DCR can be significantly improved.

[0094] [Positive electrode]

[0095] The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector, wherein the positive electrode film layer includes the positive electrode active material of the first aspect of the present application.

[0096] As an example, the positive electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite to each other in its thickness direction, and the positive electrode film layer is disposed on either or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.

[0097] In some embodiments, the positive electrode current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, aluminum foil may be used as the metal foil. The composite current collector may include a polymer material base and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material base. The composite current collector may be formed by forming a metal material (aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).

[0098] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material may adopt the positive electrode active material for batteries that is well known in the art. As an example, the positive electrode active material may include at least one of the following materials: lithium-containing phosphates with an olivine structure, lithium transition metal oxides, and their respective modified compounds. However, the present application is not limited to these materials, and other traditional materials that can be used as positive electrode active materials for batteries may also be used. These positive electrode active materials may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Examples of lithium transition metal oxides may include, but are not limited to, lithium cobalt oxide (such as LiCoO2), lithium nickel oxide (such as LiNiO2), lithium manganese oxide (such as LiMnO2, LiMn2O4), lithium nickel cobalt oxide, lithium manganese cobalt oxide, lithium nickel manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (such as LiNi 1 / 3 Co 1 / 3 Mn 1 / 3 O2 (also referred to as NCM 333 ), LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O2 (also referred to as NCM 523 ), LiNi 0.5 Co 0.25 Mn 0.25 O2 (also referred to as NCM 211 ), LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O2 (also referred to as NCM 622 ), LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O2 (also referred to as NCM 811 ), lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (such as LiNi 0.85 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O2) and its modified compounds.

[0099] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer may further optionally include a binder.
