Description

Electrochemical device and preparation method thereof, and electronic device Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrochemical technology, and in particular to an electrochemical device and a preparation method thereof, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Electrochemical devices, such as lithium-ion batteries, have been widely used in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and smart grids due to their advantages such as high energy density, cycling stability, and low self-discharge.

[0003] Lithium-ion batteries primarily consist of four key components: the positive electrode, negative electrode, separator, and electrolyte. The positive and negative electrodes have different requirements for electrolyte. Current lithium-ion batteries often utilize a mixed electrolyte system, where both the positive and negative electrodes reside in the same electrolyte. This not only limits the electrolyte design window but also impacts the performance of the lithium-ion battery, particularly its high-temperature storage and cycling performance.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an electrochemical device and its preparation method, and an electronic device to achieve improvements in the dynamics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device, wherein the high-temperature performance mainly refers to high-temperature storage performance and high-temperature cycle performance.

[0006] It should be noted that in the invention content of this application, lithium-ion batteries are used as an example of electrochemical devices to explain this application, but the electrochemical devices of this application are not limited to lithium-ion batteries. The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0007] The first aspect of the present application provides an electrochemical device, which includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a selective lithium ion permeable membrane. The selective lithium ion permeable membrane forms independent positive and negative sides on both sides. The permeability of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is ≥4000s / 100mL. The electrolyte is divided into a positive electrode electrolyte and a negative electrode electrolyte. The positive electrode sheet and the positive electrode electrolyte are contained on the positive electrode side, and the negative electrode sheet and the negative electrode electrolyte are contained on the negative electrode side. The positive electrode electrolyte is different from the negative electrode electrolyte. The present application selects a selective lithium ion permeable membrane with a permeability greater than or equal to 4000s / 100mL to form independent positive and negative sides on both sides of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane. The positive electrode electrolyte can be placed on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode electrolyte can be placed on the negative electrode side, so that the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte are separated. In this way, the electrolyte can be regulated separately on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side. The difference between the positive and negative electrolytes allows for a better fit between the positive and negative electrodes, reducing the likelihood of negative electrolyte components affecting the positive and negative electrodes. This also allows for a better fit between the negative and positive electrodes, reducing the likelihood of positive electrolyte components affecting the negative electrodes. This also reduces the mutual influence between the positive and negative electrolytes, thereby broadening the selection window for the positive and negative electrolytes and fully leveraging their respective roles. This can improve the kinetics and high-temperature performance of electrochemical devices.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present application, the electrolyte includes a film-forming additive, and the film-forming additive includes at least one positive electrode film-forming additive and at least one negative electrode film-forming additive; after the electrochemical device is formed, the mass percentage of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte is W1, and the mass percentage of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte is W2, and W1 is greater than W2; and the mass percentage of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte is W3, and the mass percentage of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte is W4, and W3 is greater than W4. This indicates that after the electrochemical device is formed, the selective lithium ion permeation membrane separates the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side from the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side. The separate regulation of the positive electrode electrolyte containing more positive electrode film-forming additives on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode electrolyte containing more negative electrode additives on the negative electrode side can achieve improvements in the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present application, the positive electrode film-forming additive includes at least one of ethanedinitrile, malononitrile, succinonitrile or glutaronitrile, and 0.1%≤W1≤10%.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present application, the negative electrode film-forming additive includes any one of fluoroethylene carbonate, vinylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, butylene sulfite, 1,3-propane sultone, 1,4-butane sultone, 1,3-propylene sultone, vinyl sulfate, propylene sulfate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide), lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl imide), or lithium bis(oxalatoborate), with 0.1% ≤ W3 ≤ 10%. Selecting the above-mentioned positive electrode film-forming additives and negative electrode film-forming additives and regulating their contents within the above-mentioned ranges can improve the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present application, the negative electrode film-forming additive includes any one of fluoroethylene carbonate, vinylene carbonate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide), lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl imide), or lithium bis(oxalatoborate). These negative electrode film-forming additives, when applied to the electrolyte, are more conducive to forming a dense and uniform film on the surfaces of the positive and negative electrode sheets, thereby further improving the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present application, the electrolyte includes carbonate and carboxylate; after the electrochemical device is formed, the mass percentage of carbonate in the positive electrode electrolyte is W5, and the mass percentage of carbonate in the negative electrode electrolyte is W6, where W5 is greater than W6; and the mass percentage of carboxylate in the negative electrode electrolyte is W7, and the mass percentage of carboxylate in the positive electrode electrolyte is W8, where W7 is greater than W8. This indicates that after the electrochemical device is formed, the selective lithium ion permeation membrane separates the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side from the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side. The separate regulation of the positive electrode electrolyte containing more carbonate on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode electrolyte containing more carboxylate on the negative electrode side can improve the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present application, the carbonate comprises at least one of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), butylene carbonate (BC), vinylene carbonate (VC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), or methylpropyl carbonate (MPC); the carboxylate comprises at least one of γ-butyrolactone (BL), methyl formate (MF), ethyl formate (EF), methyl acetate (MA), ethyl acetate (EA), methyl butyrate (MB), ethyl butyrate (EB), n-propyl propionate (PP), or ethyl propionate (EP); and 50%≤W5≤80%, and 50%≤W7≤80%. Selecting the above-mentioned carbonates and carboxylates, and regulating the content of the carbonate in the positive electrolyte and the content of the carboxylate in the negative electrolyte within the above-mentioned ranges, can improve the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, the ionic conductivity of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is greater than or equal to 10 -2 mS / cm. This indicates that the selective lithium ion permeable membrane has high ionic conductivity. The electrochemical device has good cycle performance on the basis of good high-temperature performance, and its kinetics are further improved.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present application, the ionic conductivity of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is 0.1 mS / cm to 5 mS / cm. Controlling the ionic conductivity of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane within this range makes it easier to manufacture electrochemical devices while maintaining excellent high-temperature performance, cycle performance, and kinetics, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency of electrochemical devices.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, the structure of the electrode assembly includes any one of a single-layer laminate structure, a multi-layer laminate structure, and a wound structure.

[0017] A second aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing an electrochemical device, comprising the following steps:

[0019] (1') stacking the positive electrode sheet, the selective lithium ion permeable membrane, the negative electrode sheet, and the selective lithium ion permeable membrane in sequence as a structural unit, and then repeatedly stacking multiple structural units to form an electrode assembly with a multi-layer laminate structure, with the two sides of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane forming independent positive and negative electrode sides; or

[0020] (1") stacking the positive electrode sheet, the selective lithium ion permeable membrane, and the negative electrode sheet in sequence, wherein the selective lithium ion permeable membrane forms a cavity with an opening on one side and the positive electrode sheet is accommodated in the cavity, and the negative electrode sheet is wound along the outside of the cavity to form an electrode assembly with a wound structure, and the two sides of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane respectively form independent positive and negative electrode sides; or

[0021] (1') stacking the positive electrode sheet, the selective lithium ion permeable membrane, and the negative electrode sheet in sequence, wherein the selective lithium ion permeable membrane forms a cavity with an opening on one side and the negative electrode sheet is accommodated in the cavity, and the positive electrode sheet is wound along the outside of the cavity to form an electrode assembly with a wound structure, and the two sides of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane respectively form independent negative and positive electrode sides;

[0022] (2) The electrode assembly is placed in an outer package, a positive electrode electrolyte is injected into the positive electrode side, and a negative electrode electrolyte is injected into the negative electrode side, and after packaging, an electrochemical device according to any of the aforementioned embodiments is obtained.

The preparation method is simple, easy to operate by those skilled in the art, and can be widely used in industrial production.

[0024] A third aspect of the present application provides an electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises the electrochemical device described in any of the aforementioned embodiments. Therefore, the electronic device has good performance.

[0025] Beneficial effects of this application:

[0026] The present application provides an electrochemical device and an electronic device, wherein the electrochemical device forms an independent positive electrode side and negative electrode side on both sides of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane by selecting a selective lithium ion permeable membrane with an air permeability greater than or equal to 4000s / 100mL, and can place the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side, so that the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte are separated. In this way, the electrolyte can be regulated separately in the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side. The difference between the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte makes the positive electrode electrolyte more compatible with the positive electrode sheet, reduces the possibility of the components in the negative electrode electrolyte affecting the positive electrode sheet, and also makes the negative electrode electrolyte more compatible with the negative electrode sheet, reduces the possibility of the components in the positive electrode electrolyte affecting the negative electrode sheet, and reduces the mutual influence between the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte, thereby widening the selection window of the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte, and giving full play to the respective roles of the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte. This can improve the kinetics and high-temperature performance of electrochemical devices. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clearly understood, the following examples are given to further describe this application in detail. Obviously, the described examples are only some examples of this application, rather than all examples. All other examples obtained by those skilled in the art based on this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the specific embodiments of the present application, a lithium-ion battery is used as an example of an electrochemical device to explain the present application, but the electrochemical device of the present application is not limited to a lithium-ion battery.

[0029] In existing electrochemical devices, there is no distinction between the positive and negative sides, and a mixed electrolyte system is often used, so that the positive and negative electrodes are in the same electrolyte. In order to meet the film formation requirements of the positive and negative electrodes at the same time, the electrolyte will add positive and negative electrode film-forming additives. The coexistence of positive and negative electrode film-forming additives will cause the two to affect each other. For example, some positive electrode film-forming additives will form a film on the surface of the negative electrode, consuming the positive electrode film-forming additives and reducing the protection of the positive electrode. At the same time, the film formation of the positive electrode additives on the negative electrode will also affect the stability of the film formation of the negative electrode itself. It will be necessary to add more negative electrode film-forming additives to form a film on the negative electrode itself. However, the addition of more film-forming additives will reduce the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device. At the same time, some negative electrode film-forming additives will also undergo oxidation reactions on the positive electrode, which will not only affect the film formation of the negative electrode, but also affect the stability of the film formation of the positive electrode. In addition, some byproducts of the positive and negative electrode film formation process will affect the corresponding electrode performance. In addition to additives, the electrolyte solvent will also be selective between the positive and negative electrodes. The stability of the positive electrode sheet is the key to high-temperature performance, requiring more stable carbonates. The dynamics of the negative electrode sheet is the key to the dynamics of the electrochemical device, requiring more carboxylates to meet the kinetic performance. Therefore, there will be selectivity differences in the solvents of the positive and negative electrodes to simultaneously meet the kinetic performance and high-temperature stability of the electrochemical device.

[0030] The first aspect of the present application provides an electrochemical device, wherein the electrochemical device includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte, and the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a selective lithium ion permeable membrane. The selective lithium ion permeable membrane forms independent positive and negative sides on both sides, and the positive and negative sides are independent cavities. The permeability of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is ≥4000s / 100mL. The electrolyte is divided into a positive electrode electrolyte and a negative electrode electrolyte. The positive electrode sheet and the positive electrode electrolyte are accommodated on the positive electrode side, and the negative electrode sheet and the negative electrode electrolyte are accommodated on the negative electrode side. The positive electrode electrolyte is different from the negative electrode electrolyte.

[0031] When the air permeability of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is ≥4000s / 100mL, lithium ions can shuttle back and forth between the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side through the selective lithium ion permeable membrane to form a charge and discharge circuit. However, the probability of solvent molecules shuttling back and forth between the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side through the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is very low, so the two sides of the selective ion permeable membrane can form independent positive electrode side and negative electrode side, and the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side are independent cavities, that is, there is a good isolation effect between the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side. When the air permeability of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is less than 4000s / 100mL, some solvent molecules can pass through the isolation membrane and isolation cannot be achieved. The present application selects a selective lithium ion permeable membrane with an air permeability greater than or equal to 4000s / 100mL to form independent positive electrode side and negative electrode side on both sides of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane, and can place the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side, so that the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte are separated. In this way, the electrolyte can be regulated separately on the positive and negative electrode sides. The difference between the positive and negative electrolytes makes the positive electrolyte and the positive electrode sheet more compatible, reducing the possibility of the components in the negative electrolyte affecting the positive electrode sheet, and also makes the negative electrolyte and the negative electrode sheet more compatible, reducing the possibility of the components in the positive electrolyte affecting the negative electrode sheet, and also reducing the mutual influence between the positive and negative electrolytes, thereby widening the selection window of the positive and negative electrolytes, and giving full play to the respective roles of the positive and negative electrolytes. In this way, it is possible to achieve improvements in the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device.

[0032] In this application, high temperature refers to a temperature greater than or equal to 45°C.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, the permeability of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is 4000s / 100mL to 16000s / 100mL. For example, the permeability of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is 4000s / 100mL, 5000s / 100mL, 6000s / 100mL, 7000s / 100mL, 8000s / 100mL, 9000s / 100mL, 10000s / 100mL, 11000s / 100mL, 13000s / 100mL, 16000s / 100mL or any value between any two of the above numerical ranges. Selective ion permeable membranes with a permeability within the above range are easier to obtain and have lower production costs. Selective lithium ion permeable membranes with a permeability within the above range can reduce the production cost of electrochemical devices while improving the kinetics and high-temperature performance of electrochemical devices.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, the electrolyte includes a film-forming additive, wherein the film-forming additive includes at least one positive electrode film-forming additive and at least one negative electrode film-forming additive. After the electrochemical device is formed, the mass percentage of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte is W1, and the mass percentage of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte is W2, where W1 is greater than W2; and the mass percentage of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte is W3, and the mass percentage of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte is W4, where W3 is greater than W4. After the electrochemical device is formed, the mass percentage content W1 of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte is greater than the mass percentage content W2 of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte, and the mass percentage content W3 of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte is greater than the mass percentage content W4 of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte, indicating that after the electrochemical device is formed, the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side does not flow freely between the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side, and the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side does not flow freely between the negative electrode side and the positive electrode side, that is, the selective lithium ion permeation membrane separates the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side from the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side. When preparing the electrolyte, the positive electrode film-forming additive is added to the positive electrode electrolyte, and the negative electrode film-forming additive is added to the negative electrode electrolyte. In this way, the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte can be regulated separately on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side. Separate regulation of the positive electrode electrolyte containing more positive electrode film-forming additives on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode electrolyte containing more negative electrode additives on the negative electrode side can, on the one hand, reduce the mutual influence of the positive electrode film-forming additives and the negative electrode film-forming additives, reduce the influence of the positive electrode film-forming additives on the film-forming stability of the negative electrode sheet itself, thereby reducing the content of the negative electrode film-forming additives in the electrolyte, and achieving improvements in the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device; on the other hand, it can reduce the influence of the reduction products generated by the negative electrode film-forming additives on the stability of the positive electrode sheet, thereby improving the high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device; on the other hand, it can also reduce the probability of some film-forming additives being unable to be used due to redox window problems. For example, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide) has kinetic advantages, but cannot be used in a mixed electrolyte system because it is not resistant to high voltage and corrodes aluminum foil. However, in this application, it can be used as a negative electrode film-forming additive to improve the kinetics of the electrochemical device. In this way, improvements in the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device can be achieved.

[0035] In this application, the above-mentioned "formation" refers to the process of charging the electrochemical device under the conditions of 80°C and 1MPa to form a solid electrolyte interface film (SEI). The specific process parameters are: charging the electrochemical device to 75% SOC (state of charge) at 1C under the conditions of 80°C and 1MPa.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present application, the positive electrode film-forming additive includes any one of ethanedinitrile, malononitrile, succinonitrile or glutaronitrile, and 0.1%≤W1≤10%. In one embodiment of the present application, the negative electrode film-forming additive includes any one of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), vinylene carbonate, vinyl ethylene carbonate, butylene sulfite, 1,3-propane sultone, 1,4-butane sultone, 1,3-propylene sultone, vinyl sulfate, propylene sulfate, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) or lithium bis(oxalatoborate) (LiBOB), and 0.1%≤W3≤10%. For example, W1 is 0.1%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% or any value between any two of the above numerical ranges. For example, W3 is 0.1%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% or any value between any two of the above numerical ranges. The positive electrode film-forming additives of the above types and content ranges are applied to the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side, which is conducive to the formation of a dense and uniform positive electrode electrolyte interface (CEI) film on the surface of the positive electrode plate, which is used to stabilize the positive electrode active material and reduce the occurrence of side reactions; the negative electrode film-forming additives of the above types and content ranges are applied to the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side, which is conducive to the formation of a dense and uniform solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the surface of the negative electrode plate, which is used to stabilize the negative electrode active material, reduce further reduction process, and reduce the consumption of negative electrode electrolyte. By selecting the above types of positive electrode film-forming additives and negative electrode film-forming additives, and regulating the content within the above ranges respectively, extremely stable CEI films and SEI films can be formed at the positive and negative electrodes respectively, while reducing the mutual influence of the positive and negative electrode film formation, thereby improving the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device.

[0037] There is no particular limitation on W2 and W4 in this application, as long as W1 is greater than W2 and W3 is greater than W4, the purpose of this application can be achieved. For example, 0% ≤ W2 < 10%, 0% ≤ W4 < 10%.

[0038] The present application does not particularly limit the method for regulating W1, W2, W3, and W4, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, this can be achieved by regulating at least one of the permeability of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane or the content of the membrane-forming additive.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the negative electrode film-forming additive includes any one of FEC, vinylene carbonate, LiTFSI, LiFSI, or LiBOB. These negative electrode film-forming additives, when applied to the electrolyte, are more conducive to forming a dense and uniform film on the surfaces of the positive and negative electrode plates, thereby further improving the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present application, the electrolyte includes carbonate and carboxylate; after the electrochemical device is formed, the mass percentage of carbonate in the positive electrode electrolyte is W5, and the mass percentage of carbonate in the negative electrode electrolyte is W6, and W5 is greater than W6; and the mass percentage of carboxylate in the negative electrode electrolyte is W7, and the mass percentage of carboxylate in the positive electrode electrolyte is W8, and W7 is greater than W8. After the electrochemical device is formed, the mass percentage of carbonate in the positive electrode electrolyte, W5, is greater than the mass percentage of carbonate in the negative electrode electrolyte, W6, and the mass percentage of carboxylate in the negative electrode electrolyte, W7, is greater than the mass percentage of carboxylate in the positive electrode electrolyte, W8. This indicates that after the electrochemical device is formed, the carbonate in the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side does not flow freely between the positive and negative electrode sides, and the carboxylate in the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side does not flow freely between the negative and positive electrode sides. In other words, the selective lithium ion permeability membrane separates the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side from the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side. When preparing the electrolyte, carbonate is added to the positive electrode electrolyte and carboxylate is added to the negative electrode electrolyte. In this way, the positive electrode electrolyte and negative electrode electrolyte can be controlled separately on the positive and negative electrode sides. Separate regulation of the positive electrode electrolyte containing more carbonates on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode electrolyte containing more carboxylates on the negative electrode side can, on the one hand, reduce the mutual influence of carbonates and carboxylates, reduce the carbonate content on the negative electrode side, and improve the kinetics of the negative electrode sheet. At the same time, the carbonate content on the positive electrode side is not reduced, and while improving the kinetic performance, it will not affect the high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device; at the same time, reducing the carboxylate content on the positive electrode side can improve the high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device. At the same time, the carboxylate content on the negative electrode side is not reduced, and the kinetic performance of the electrochemical device is not affected. Thus, the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device can be improved.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, the carbonate comprises at least one of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), butylene carbonate (BC), vinylene carbonate (VC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), or methylpropyl carbonate (MPC); the carboxylate comprises at least one of γ-butyrolactone (BL), methyl formate (MF), ethyl formate (EF), methyl acetate (MA), ethyl acetate (EA), methyl butyrate (MB), ethyl butyrate (EB), n-propyl propionate (PP), or ethyl propionate (EP); and 50%≤W5≤80%, and 50%≤W7≤80%. For example, W5 is 50%, 54%, 60%, 63%, 70%, 75%, 78%, 80%, or any value between any two of the above numerical ranges. For example, W7 is 50%, 53%, 61%, 63%, 67%, 72%, 78%, 80%, or any value between any two of the above numerical ranges. The carbonates of the above types and content ranges are applied to the positive electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side, which is beneficial for improving the kinetic performance of the electrochemical device while not affecting its high-temperature performance; the carboxylates of the above types and content ranges are applied to the negative electrode electrolyte on the negative electrode side, which is beneficial for improving the high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device while not affecting its kinetic performance. Therefore, by selecting the above types of carbonates and carboxylates, and regulating the content of the carbonates in the positive electrode electrolyte and the content of the carboxylates in the negative electrode electrolyte within the above ranges, the kinetic and high-temperature performance of the electrochemical device can be improved.

[0042] There is no particular limitation on W6 and W8 in this application. As long as W5 is greater than W6 and W7 is greater than W8, the purpose of this application can be achieved. For example, W6 is 0% to 50% and W8 is 0% to 50%.

[0043] The present application does not particularly limit the method for regulating W5, W6, W7, and W8, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, this can be achieved by regulating the permeability of the selective lithium ion permeation membrane or at least one of the content of carbonate and carboxylate.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, the ionic conductivity of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is greater than or equal to 10 -2 mS / cm. This indicates that the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane has a high ionic conductivity, which facilitates a high lithium ion transmission rate, further improving the kinetics of the electrochemical device and enabling good cycling performance. As a result, the electrochemical device not only has good high-temperature performance but also good cycling performance, and its kinetics are further improved.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, the ionic conductivity of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is 0.1 mS / cm to 5 mS / cm. For example, the ionic conductivity of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is 0.1 mS / cm, 0.6 mS / cm, 1 mS / cm, 1.4 mS / cm, 2 mS / cm, 2.4 mS / cm, 3 mS / cm, 3.5 mS / cm, 4 mS / cm, 4.7 mS / cm, 5 mS / cm, or any value between any two of the above numerical ranges. A selective lithium ion permeable membrane having an ionic conductivity within the above range makes it easier to obtain an electrochemical device while having good high-temperature performance, cycle performance, and kinetics, which is beneficial to reducing the production cost of the electrochemical device and improving the production efficiency of the electrochemical device.

[0071] Example

[0072] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples. Various tests and evaluations were performed according to the following methods.

[0073] Test methods and equipment:

[0074] Permeability test of selective lithium ion permeable membrane:

[0075] In a laboratory setting, the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane to be tested is placed between two gas chambers. Gas is passed from one chamber to the other through the membrane at a pressure differential of 1.21 kPa. The time required for 100 mL of test gas to pass through the membrane is recorded. (For this test method, the gas used is air, and the membrane to be tested is 40 mm x 40 mm in size.)

[0076] Tests for W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, W6, W7, and W8:

[0077] The lithium-ion battery was disassembled to remove the positive and negative electrodes. The positive and negative electrodes were placed in centrifuge tubes and centrifuged to obtain the positive and negative electrolytes, respectively. If no electrolyte was obtained by centrifugation, the positive and negative electrodes were soaked in acetonitrile for 0.5 hours to obtain the positive and negative electrolytes. The positive and negative electrolytes were injected into a gas chromatograph (Agilent 7890B) for component testing and content comparison. The type and content of the lithium salt were determined by ion chromatography; the type and content of the film-forming additive, carbonate, and carboxylate were determined by gas chromatography.

[0078] Test of ionic conductivity of selective lithium ion permeation membrane:

[0079] It should be noted that when testing the Examples, Comparative Example 1-1, and Comparative Example 2-1, the following separator is a selective lithium ion permeable membrane.

[0080] (1) Preparation of isolation membrane: The isolation membrane to be tested was cut into the same size (45.3 mm × 33.7 mm), dried at 60°C for 4 h, and then transferred to a glove box for use;

[0081] (2) Preparation of symmetrical lithium-ion battery outer packaging: Use copper foil to assemble blank symmetrical lithium-ion battery outer packaging without a separator. Before use, the outer packaging needs to be dried at 60°C for 4 hours and then transferred to a glove box for use;

[0082] (3) Assembly of symmetrical lithium-ion batteries: Assemble symmetrical lithium-ion batteries with negative electrode sheets against negative electrode sheets in the outer packaging of the symmetrical lithium-ion batteries, and assemble different layers (1, 2, 3, 4 layers) of separators in situ in the middle of the symmetrical electrodes in a glove box to form symmetrical lithium-ion batteries (5 parallel samples of symmetrical lithium-ion batteries with each layer number are assembled); use a simple packaging machine to seal the outer packaging side, use a pipette to inject electrolyte (300 μL), and then seal the bottom;

[0083] (4) Loading the symmetrical lithium-ion battery into the fixture: Load the assembled symmetrical lithium-ion battery into the fixture and then place it in the glove box for 12 hours to allow the electrolyte to fully infiltrate the isolation membrane;

[0084] (5) Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) Test: Before the EIS test, symmetrical lithium-ion batteries with different numbers of separator layers were placed in a temperature chamber at 25°C for half an hour. The EIS test was performed at the set temperature. During the EIS test, the frequency was set to 1 kHz and the perturbation voltage was set to 5 mV. The conductivity S of the separator was calculated based on the test results.

[0085] (6) Calculation of the conductivity S of the isolation membrane:

[0086] The resistance value obtained from symmetrical lithium-ion batteries with different numbers of isolation membrane layers is used as the vertical coordinate, and the number of layers n is used as the horizontal coordinate. A scatter plot is made, and then a linear fit is performed. The slope is the resistance value of the isolation membrane. The conductivity S of the isolation membrane is calculated according to the following formula.

[0087] The conductivity S of the isolation membrane = the thickness of the isolation membrane / (the resistance of the isolation membrane × the effective area of ​​the isolation membrane that can transmit ions when the impedance is tested);

[0088] Among them, the effective area of ​​the isolation membrane that can transmit ions when testing impedance is 153.86mm 2 The negative electrode sheet and electrolyte used in the EIS test are the same as those in Example 1-1.

[0089] 80℃ storage performance test:

[0090] After the lithium-ion battery is charged to 4.5 V and reaches a fully charged state, its thickness is measured and recorded as the initial thickness.

[0091] The fully charged lithium-ion battery obtained above was placed in a high-low temperature box at 80°C for storage, and the thickness of the lithium-ion battery after storage for 24 hours was recorded as the final thickness. The thickness of the lithium-ion battery was tested using a PPG thickness gauge with a thickness measurement pressure of 300g.

[0092] Lithium-ion battery thickness expansion rate (%) = (final thickness - initial thickness) / initial thickness × 100%. The smaller the thickness expansion rate, the better the 80°C storage performance.

[0093] 45℃ cycle performance test:

[0094] Place the lithium-ion battery in a 45°C high and low temperature chamber, charge it to 4.5V at a constant current of 1C, charge it to 0.05V at a constant voltage of 4.5V, and then discharge it to 3.0V at 1C. Repeat this charge and discharge cycle. The number of cycles required for the capacity to decay to 80% indicates the 45°C cycling performance. The more cycles, the better the 45°C cycling performance.

[0095] Lithium deposition window test:

[0096] The lithium-ion batteries of each embodiment and comparative example were charged and discharged at 25°C according to the following steps: discharging at a constant current of 0.2C to 3.0V; then charging at a constant current of 1.5C to 4.5V; and then charging at a constant voltage of 4.5V to 0.05C (at this point, fully charged); this constitutes one charge-discharge cycle. After 10 cycles of this charge-discharge cycle, the fully charged lithium-ion battery was disassembled and the negative electrode plate was inspected for lithium deposition. If white or gray lithium appeared on the surface of the negative electrode plate, lithium deposition was confirmed; otherwise, lithium deposition was confirmed.

[0097] If lithium deposition does not occur, the lithium-ion battery prepared in the same embodiment or comparative example is taken and the charging rate is gradually increased by 0.1C while other charge and discharge parameters remain unchanged, and the above steps are repeated until lithium deposition occurs on the negative electrode.

[0098] The maximum charge rate at which the negative electrode does not release lithium is defined as the maximum charge rate without lithium deposition, also known as the lithium deposition window. The maximum charge rate without lithium deposition is used to characterize the lithium deposition window of a lithium-ion battery. A larger charge rate without lithium deposition indicates better kinetics.

[0112] The selective lithium-ion permeable membrane, the positive electrode sheet, and the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane are stacked, with the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane forming a cavity with an open side. The positive electrode sheet is located within the cavity, and the negative electrode sheet is located outside the cavity, forming a stacked structure. The stacked structure is then wound along the length of the cavity to form a wound electrode assembly, with the inner side of the cavity forming the positive electrode side and the outer side of the cavity forming the negative electrode side. The electrode assembly is placed in an outer packaging aluminum-plastic film, dehydrated at 80°C, and the prepared positive and negative electrolytes are injected into the positive and negative electrode sides, respectively, before packaging. The lithium-ion battery is then produced through a formation, degassing, and trimming process.

[0113] The formation steps are: charging the lithium-ion battery at a constant current of 1C to 75% SOC under the conditions of 80°C and 1 MPa.

[0114] Since the malononitrile in the positive electrode electrolyte participates in the positive electrode film formation during the formation process and will be partially consumed, Table 1 lists the mass percentage content of malononitrile in the positive electrode electrolyte after the formation process (W1). The same meaning applies to the mass percentage content of FEC in the negative electrode electrolyte (W3). In Table 1, W1 and W2 are the mass percentage contents of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte, respectively, after the lithium-ion battery has undergone the formation process. In Table 1, W3 and W4 are the mass percentage contents of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte, respectively, after the lithium-ion battery has undergone the formation process.

When the mass percentage of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte changes, the mass percentage of the organic solvent in the positive electrode electrolyte changes accordingly, the mass percentage of the lithium salt in the positive electrode electrolyte remains unchanged, and the mass ratio of EC, PA, EA and DEC in the organic solvent remains unchanged; the change of W3 is achieved by adjusting the mass percentage of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte during the preparation of the negative electrode electrolyte.

[0175] Except that the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is the same as that of Comparative Example 1-1, the rest is the same as that of Example 2-1.

[0176] Comparative Example 2-2

[0177] Except that the selective lithium ion permeable membrane is the same as that of Comparative Example 1-2, the rest is the same as that of Example 2-1.

[0178] The preparation parameters and performance parameters of each embodiment and comparative example are shown in Tables 1 to 3.

[0179] Table 1

[0180] From Examples 1-1, 1-21, and 1-22, and Comparative Examples 1-1 and 1-2, it can be seen that in the lithium-ion batteries of the examples, by selecting a selective lithium-ion permeable membrane with an air permeability of ≥4000s / 100mL and including a film-forming additive in the electrolyte, after formation, the mass percentage W1 of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte is greater than the mass percentage W2 of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte, and the mass percentage W3 of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte is greater than the mass percentage W4 of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte, indicating that the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte on the positive and negative electrode sides of the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane, respectively, are separated. The lithium-ion batteries of the examples have a larger maximum non-lithium precipitation rate at 25°C, a lower expansion rate at 85°C, and a higher number of cycles at 45°C, indicating that the dynamics and high-temperature performance of the lithium-ion batteries have been improved. The comparative lithium-ion battery, however, employed a selective lithium-ion permeable membrane with an air permeability of less than 4000s / 100mL or a conventional separator. After formation, the mass percentage (W1) of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrolyte failed to exceed the mass percentage (W2) of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrolyte, and the mass percentage (W3) of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrolyte failed to exceed the mass percentage (W4) of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrolyte, indicating that the positive and negative electrolytes on the positive and negative sides of the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane, respectively, failed to separate. The comparative lithium-ion battery exhibited a lower maximum non-lithium deposition rate at 25°C, a higher expansion rate at 85°C, and a lower number of cycles at 45°C, indicating poor kinetic and high-temperature performance. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that different electrolyte systems have a greater impact on the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, the performance comparison should be made under similar electrolyte system designs. If there are significant differences in the substance or content of the electrolyte itself, the performance cannot be compared on a year-on-year basis. For example, when comparing Example 1-1, Example 1-21 and Example 1-22, and Comparative Example 1-1 and Comparative Example 1-2, Example 1-11 and Example 1-12 have different electrolyte systems because the difference in the content of the positive electrode film-forming additive is greater than that between Example 1-1, Example 1-21 and Example 1-22, and Comparative Example 1-1 and Comparative Example 1-2. Therefore, the performance is not comparable.

[0181] When the positive electrolyte contains a positive film-forming additive and the negative electrolyte contains a negative film-forming additive, the ionic conductivity of the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane generally affects the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the lithium-ion battery. As shown in Examples 1-1 to 1-4, using a selective lithium-ion permeable membrane with an ionic conductivity within the range of this application demonstrates a lower maximum non-lithium deposition rate at 25°C, a higher expansion ratio at 85°C, and a lower number of cycles at 45°C, indicating that the lithium-ion battery has good kinetics and high-temperature performance.

[0182] The types of positive and negative electrode film-forming additives generally affect the kinetics and high-temperature performance of lithium-ion batteries. As can be seen from Examples 1-1, 1-6, and 1-10, selective lithium-ion permeable membranes using positive and negative electrode film-forming additives within the scope of this application exhibit a lower maximum non-lithium deposition rate at 25°C, a higher expansion rate at 85°C, and a lower number of cycles at 45°C, indicating that lithium-ion batteries have good kinetics and high-temperature performance.

[0183] After lithium-ion batteries are formed, the mass percentage of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte and the mass percentage of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte generally affect the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the lithium-ion battery. As can be seen from Examples 1-1, 1-11, and 1-20, a selective lithium-ion permeable membrane having a mass percentage of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte and a mass percentage of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte within the ranges of this application exhibits a smaller maximum non-lithium deposition rate at 25°C, a higher expansion rate at 85°C, and a lower number of cycles at 45°C, indicating that the lithium-ion battery has good kinetics and high-temperature performance.

[0184] Table 2

[0185] As can be seen from Examples 2-1, 2-13, 2-14, Comparative Examples 2-1, and 2-2, in the lithium-ion batteries of the Examples, when a selective lithium-ion permeable membrane with an air permeability of ≥4000 s / 100 mL is selected and the electrolyte includes carbonate and carboxylate, after formation, the mass percentage of carbonate in the positive electrolyte (W5) is greater than the mass percentage of carbonate in the negative electrolyte (W6), and the mass percentage of carboxylate in the negative electrolyte (W7) is greater than the mass percentage of carboxylate in the positive electrolyte (W8), indicating that the positive and negative electrolytes on the positive and negative sides of the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane, respectively, are separated. The lithium-ion batteries of the Examples have a greater maximum non-lithium deposition rate at 25°C, a lower expansion rate at 85°C, and a greater number of cycles at 45°C, indicating that the dynamics and high-temperature performance of the lithium-ion batteries have been improved. In contrast, the lithium-ion batteries in the comparative examples employed a selective lithium-ion permeable membrane or conventional separator with an air permeability of less than 4000 s / 100 mL. After formation, the mass percentage of carbonate in the positive electrolyte (W5) failed to exceed the mass percentage of carbonate in the negative electrolyte (W6), and the mass percentage of carboxylate in the negative electrolyte (W7) failed to exceed the mass percentage of carboxylate in the positive electrolyte (W8), indicating that the positive and negative electrolytes on the positive and negative sides of the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane, respectively, failed to separate. While the positive and negative electrolytes on the positive and negative sides of Comparative Examples 2-1 and 2-2 ultimately achieved homogeneity, due to the different air permeabilities of the corresponding selective lithium-ion permeable membranes / conventional separators, the time required to achieve homogeneity varied, with Comparative Example 2-1 taking longer than Comparative Example 2-2. The comparative lithium-ion battery has a smaller maximum non-lithiation rate at 25°C, a higher expansion rate at 85°C, and fewer cycles at 45°C, indicating that the lithium-ion battery has poor kinetics and high-temperature performance.

[0186] When the positive electrolyte contains carbonates and the negative electrolyte contains carboxylates, the ionic conductivity of the selective lithium-ion permeable membrane typically affects the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the lithium-ion battery. Examples 2-1 to 2-4 show that using a selective lithium-ion permeable membrane with an ionic conductivity within the range of this application results in a smaller maximum non-lithium deposition rate at 25°C, a higher expansion rate at 85°C, and a lower number of cycles at 45°C, indicating that the lithium-ion battery has good kinetics and high-temperature performance.

[0187] After formation, the mass percentage of carbonate in the positive electrolyte and the mass percentage of carboxylate in the negative electrolyte typically affect the kinetics and high-temperature performance of lithium-ion batteries. Examples 2-1, 2-5, and 2-7 show that using a selective lithium-ion permeable membrane with a carbonate mass percentage in the positive electrolyte and a carboxylate mass percentage in the negative electrolyte within the ranges of this application results in a smaller maximum non-lithium deposition rate at 25°C, a higher expansion rate at 85°C, and a lower number of cycles at 45°C, indicating that the lithium-ion battery exhibits good kinetics and high-temperature performance.

[0188] The types of carbonate and carboxylate esters generally affect the dynamics and high-temperature performance of lithium-ion batteries. As can be seen from Examples 2-1, 2-8, and 2-12, selective lithium-ion permeable membranes using positive and negative electrode film-forming additives within the scope of this application exhibit a low maximum non-lithium deposition rate at 25°C, a high expansion rate at 85°C, and a low number of cycles at 45°C, demonstrating good dynamics and high-temperature performance for lithium-ion batteries.

[0189] Table 3

[0190] It can be seen from Examples 3-1 to 3-6 that the lithium-ion batteries in the examples, by selecting a selective lithium ion permeable membrane with a permeability of ≥4000s / 100mL and the electrolyte including a film-forming additive, a carbonate and a carboxylate, after the lithium-ion battery is formed, the mass percentage W1 of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte is greater than the mass percentage W2 of the positive electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte, and the mass percentage W3 of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the negative electrode electrolyte is greater than the mass percentage W4 of the negative electrode film-forming additive in the positive electrode electrolyte, the mass percentage W5 of the carbonate in the positive electrode electrolyte is greater than the mass percentage W6 of the carbonate in the negative electrode electrolyte, and the mass percentage W7 of the carboxylate in the negative electrode electrolyte is greater than the mass percentage W8 of the carboxylate in the positive electrode electrolyte, indicating that the positive electrode electrolyte and the negative electrode electrolyte on the positive electrode side and the negative electrode side on both sides of the selective lithium ion permeable membrane, respectively, are separated. The lithium-ion battery of the embodiment has a larger maximum non-lithium precipitation rate at 25°C, a lower expansion rate at 85°C, and a larger number of cycles at 45°C, indicating that the dynamics and high-temperature performance of the lithium-ion battery are improved.

[0191] After formation, the mass percentages of the positive electrode film-forming additive and carbonate in the positive electrode electrolyte, and the mass percentages of the negative electrode film-forming additive and carboxylate in the negative electrode electrolyte, typically affect the kinetics and high-temperature performance of the lithium-ion battery. Examples 3-1 to 3-6 show that selective lithium-ion permeable membranes with mass percentages of the positive electrode film-forming additive and carbonate in the positive electrode electrolyte, and mass percentages of the negative electrode film-forming additive and carboxylate in the negative electrode electrolyte, within the ranges of this application exhibit a smaller maximum non-lithium deposition rate at 25°C, a higher expansion rate at 85°C, and a lower number of cycles at 45°C, indicating that the lithium-ion battery exhibits good kinetics and high-temperature performance.
