Battery cell, battery device and power utilization device TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a battery cell, a battery device and a power utilization device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lithium ion batteries have characteristics of high capacity and long life, and are widely used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook computers, electric vehicles, electric cars, electric planes, electric ships and electric tools, etc. With the development of the application field of lithium ion batteries, higher requirements are put forward for the performance of lithium ion batteries, such as volume energy density and rapid charging performance.
[0003] SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a battery cell, a battery device and a power utilization device, which can further improve the energy density of the battery cell.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a battery cell, the battery cell comprising a shell, an electrolyte and an electrode assembly, the shell comprising a shell body and an end cover, the shell body containing the electrolyte and the electrode assembly, the shell body having an opening, the end cover covering the opening, the electrode assembly comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator, the separator being located between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheet comprising a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer containing a positive electrode active material and being arranged on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector along the thickness direction of the positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode active material comprising lithium-containing olivine structure phosphate; the negative electrode sheet comprising a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer containing a negative electrode active material and being arranged on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector along the thickness direction of the negative electrode sheet, wherein the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is 2.0 mAh / cm 2 to 3.7 mAh / cm 2 ; the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction is 75 mm to 105 mm, and the first direction is parallel to the direction from the shell body to the end cover.
[0006] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, when the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction is less than 75 mm, the coating size of the positive electrode active material is relatively small, which is not conducive to the improvement of the energy density of the battery cell; with the increase of the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction, the coating size of the positive electrode active material can be increased, and the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is greater than or equal to 2.0 mAh / cm 2 , which can improve the energy density of the battery cell; however, when the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is greater than 3.7 mAh / cm 2At this time, the coating amount of the positive electrode film layer can be too large, resulting in a large migration resistance of lithium ions, which is not conducive to the improvement of the rapid charging performance of the battery monomer. Further limiting the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction to be less than or equal to 105 mm is conducive to improving the energy density and rapid charging performance of the battery monomer to a certain extent. Therefore, when the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction in the embodiments of the present application is 75 mm to 105 mm, the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is 2.0 mAh / cm 2 to 3.7 mAh / cm 2 , which can effectively improve the energy density of the battery monomer and is suitable for the battery monomer of the rapid charging system.
[0007] In some embodiments, the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is 2.4 mAh / cm 2 to 3.4 mAh / cm 2 . When the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is in the above range, the energy density of the battery monomer can be further improved.
[0008] In some embodiments, the ratio of the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer to the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is 1.05 to 1.15, which can be 1.07 to 1.13.
[0009] Therefore, when the ratio of the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer to the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is in the above range, the lithium ions extracted from the positive electrode film layer can basically be embedded in the negative electrode film layer, reducing the risk of lithium precipitation in the negative electrode film layer and improving the use reliability of the battery monomer. Since the risk of lithium precipitation is low, the loss of lithium is small, which can reduce the capacity loss of the battery monomer and improve its cycle performance and rapid charging performance.
[0010] In some embodiments, the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer is 2.0 mAh / cm 2 to 4.1 mAh / cm 2 , which can be 2.4 mAh / cm 2 to 3.7 mAh / cm 2 . When the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer is in the above range, there are sufficient sites in the negative electrode film layer for lithium to be embedded, which can reduce the risk of lithium precipitation; and is conducive to rapid charging.
[0011] In some embodiments, the conductivity of the electrolyte is 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm, which can be 15 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm. The migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte is high, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery monomer, thereby reducing the heat generation, and can improve the rapid charging performance of the battery monomer.
[0012] In some embodiments, the battery cell has a size along the first direction of 90mm to 130mm. When the battery cell has a size along the first direction within the above range, the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction is matched, so that the positive electrode active material coated on the positive electrode film layer is increased, which is conducive to improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0013] In some embodiments, the battery cell has a size along the first direction of 90mm to 130mm. When the battery cell has a size along the first direction within the above range, the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction is matched, so that the positive electrode active material coated on the positive electrode film layer is increased, which is conducive to improving the energy density of the battery cell. 3 to 2.80g / cm 3 , and optionally 2.55g / cm 3 to 2.70g / cm 3 The compaction density of the positive electrode film layer within the above range is conducive to improving the energy density of the battery cell, and because the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer is more closely packed, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0014] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer has a single-side coating weight of 200mg / 1540.25mm 2 to 370mg / 1540.25mm 2 , and optionally 240mg / 1540.25mm 2 to 330mg / 1540.25mm 2 The single-side coating weight of the positive electrode film layer within the above range does not cause excessive heat generation per unit area of the positive electrode sheet, and can also improve the energy density of the battery cell.
[0015] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material has a powder resistivity of 1Ω·cm to 27.5Ω·cm. The relatively low powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material causes the resistance of the positive electrode sheet to be relatively low, and the battery cell generates less heat.
[0016] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material has a powder compaction density under 30000N of 2.46g / cm 3 to 2.8g / cm 3 The powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000N within the above range can improve the energy density of the battery cell, and because the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer is more closely packed, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0017] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material has a charge gram capacity at 0.1C rate of 150mAh / g to 170mAh / g. When the charge gram capacity of the positive electrode active material at 0.1C rate is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.
[0018] In some embodiments, the olivine-structured lithium phosphate comprises phosphate particles and a coating layer. The coating layer coats the phosphate particles and contains one or more elements selected from C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn. The surface coating of the phosphate particles enhances the conductivity of the olivine-structured lithium phosphate, reduces the powder resistivity of the material, and facilitates the migration rate of lithium ions, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0019] In some embodiments, the phosphate particles comprise the general formula Li x1 A y1 Me a M b P 1-c X c Y z The compound contains 0.5 ≤ x1 ≤ 1.3, 0 ≤ y1 ≤ 1.3, and 0.9 ≤ x1 + y1 ≤ 1.3, 0.9 ≤ a ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ b ≤ 0.5, and 0.9 ≤ a + b ≤ 1.5, 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.5, 3 ≤ z ≤ 5, where A includes one or more of Na, K, and Mg; Me includes one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni; M includes one or more of B, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, Ba, Ta, W, Yb, La, and Ce; X includes one or more of S, Si, Cl, B, C, and N; and Y includes one or more of O and F. Phosphate particles exhibit excellent cycle stability, which is beneficial for improving the cycle performance of battery cells.
[0020] In some embodiments, the coating layer includes a general formula Li 3-d Fe 2-d M2 d (PO x2 ) y2 The fast ion conductor, M2, includes one or more elements selected from Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn, where 0 ≤ d ≤ 1, 0 < x2 < 5, and 0 < y2 < 4. Coating the phosphate particles with the fast ion conductor can significantly improve the lithium-ion transport rate during multiple lithium intercalation / deintercalation at the positive electrode, enhance the ionic conductivity of the positive electrode active material, thereby increasing the specific capacity and, further, improving the energy density of the corresponding battery cell.
[0021] In some embodiments, the degree of graphitization of the positive electrode active material is 0.15 to 0.32, optionally 0.19 to 0.26. When the degree of graphitization of the positive electrode active material is within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the positive electrode active material, reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode sheet, and thus reduce the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0022] In some embodiments, the mass content of carbon element in the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate is 1% to 2%, and the specific surface area of the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate is 5 m 2 / g to 18 m 2 / g, and optionally 7.5 m 2 / g to 14 m 2 / g.
[0023] Therefore, the material with the above mass content of carbon element and the above specific surface area in the embodiments of the present application is more conducive to the effective contact between the electrolyte and the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate and the transmission of lithium ions at the phase interface.
[0024] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate is in a particulate form, and the volume distribution particle size satisfies 1 μm≤Dv50≤2 μm and 0.4 μm≤Dv10≤0.7 μm. The particle size of the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate is relatively small, the path of lithium ion deintercalation in the positive electrode active material is relatively short, and the heat generation is relatively small. In addition, the particle size of the positive electrode active material is not too small, and agglomeration basically does not occur in the process of preparation, so that the performance of the positive electrode active material is stable.
[0025] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate is in a particulate form, and the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate includes secondary particles, the secondary particles include a plurality of primary particles, and the average particle size of the primary particles is 200 nm to 500 nm. The average particle size of the primary particles is relatively small, the path of lithium ion deintercalation in the positive electrode active material is relatively short, and the heat generation is relatively small.
[0026] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer further includes one or more of ternary materials, lithium phosphate, lithium dihydrogen phosphate, lithium sulfate, lithium sulfite, lithium molybdate, lithium oxalate, lithium titanate, lithium tetraborate, lithium metasilicate, lithium manganite, lithium tartrate, trilithium citrate, lithium nickelate, and lithium ferrite. The above materials can supplement lithium ions for the positive electrode film layer, make up for the irreversible loss of lithium ions in the system, improve the capacity, and thus improve the energy density of the battery cell.
[0027] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 10 μm to 15 μm. When the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is in the above range, the flow capacity of the positive electrode current collector is relatively excellent, and the battery cell can have a relatively high energy density.
[0028] In some embodiments, the positive electrode sheet further includes a positive electrode conductive layer, and the positive electrode conductive layer is located between the positive electrode film layer and the positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode conductive layer can further improve the conductivity of the positive electrode sheet and reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode sheet, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0029] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is 0.5-2 μm. When the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is within the above range, the conductivity of the positive electrode tab can be further improved, the heat generation of the positive electrode tab can be reduced, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved.
[0030] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive layer comprises one or more of a positive electrode conductive agent and a positive electrode binder. The positive electrode conductive agent in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the conductivity of the positive electrode conductive layer, thereby improving the conductivity of the positive electrode tab, reducing the heat generation of the battery cell, and the positive electrode binder in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the adhesion between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode film layer, thereby improving the structural stability of the positive electrode tab.
[0031] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive agent comprises one or more of superconducting carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0032] In some embodiments, the positive electrode binder comprises one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, a vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, polyacrylic acid, and a fluorine-containing acrylic ester resin.
[0033] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is 1.15-1.36 g / cm 3 at 100% state of charge. 3 In some embodiments, the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is 1.25-1.36 g / cm 3 at 100% state of charge. 3 When the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and the resistance of the tab can be further reduced due to the close packing of the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer and the small contact resistance between particles, thereby reducing the heat generation.
[0034] In some embodiments, the single-side coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is 90-170 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . 2 In some embodiments, the single-side coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is 110-150 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . 2 When the single-side coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the negative electrode tab can not be too large, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved.
[0035] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the negative active material is 0.005 Ω·cm to 0.043 Ω·cm. The powder resistivity of the negative active material is relatively low, so that the resistance of the negative electrode sheet is relatively low, and the battery cell generates less heat.
[0036] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the negative active material under 20000 N is 1.5 g / cm 3 to 1.85 g / cm 3 When the powder compaction density of the negative active material under 20000 N is in the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and the negative active material in the negative electrode film layer can be more tightly packed, the contact resistance between particles is small, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing the heat generation.
[0037] In some embodiments, the charge gram capacity of the negative active material at 0.1C rate is greater than or equal to 350 mAh / g. When the charge gram capacity of the negative active material at 0.1C rate is in the above range, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.
[0038] In some embodiments, the negative active material comprises a carbon-based material, the carbon-based material comprises graphite particles, and the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is 92.0% to 94.5%. When the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is in the above range, the conductive performance of the graphite particles is relatively excellent, which can reduce the heat generation of the negative electrode sheet, reduce the heat generation of the battery cell, and improve the rapid charging performance of the battery cell.
[0039] In some embodiments, the graphite particles comprise artificial graphite and a carbon coating layer, the artificial graphite comprises secondary particles, and the carbon coating layer is coated on the surface of the artificial graphite. The carbon coating layer has more end faces and defects, so that the number of sites capable of deintercalating lithium ions is more, so that the conductivity of the carbon coating layer is relatively excellent, which can reduce the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet and the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0040] In some embodiments, the mass content of the carbon coating layer is 2% to 5% based on the mass of the graphite particles. When the mass content of the carbon coating layer is in the above range, the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet and the heat generation of the battery cell can be further reduced.
[0041] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a first negative electrode film layer and a second negative electrode film layer, the first negative electrode film layer is arranged on the surface of the negative electrode current collector, the first negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material, the second negative electrode film layer is connected to the side of the first negative electrode film layer away from the negative electrode current collector, the second negative electrode film layer includes a carbon-based material, the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer and the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer each independently includes graphite particles, and the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is greater than or equal to the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer.
[0042] Thus, in the embodiments of the present application, there is a difference in particle size between the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer, which can improve the rapid charging performance of the battery cell. Specifically, during rapid charging, the overpotential of the second negative electrode film layer is generally high, and the bottleneck of rapid charging is mainly in the second negative electrode film layer. In the embodiments of the present application, the particle size in the second negative electrode film layer is relatively small, which can shorten the solid-phase transmission path of lithium ions, improve the rapid charging performance, and improve the problem of lithium stripping on the surface of the negative electrode sheet.
[0043] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer further includes natural graphite.
[0044] In some embodiments, the tap density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the tap density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer. When the tap density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is greater than the tap density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer, the second negative electrode film layer is more densely packed, which improves the energy density of the battery cell, and the first negative electrode film layer is relatively sparse in packing, with more pores, which can improve the rapid charging performance of the battery cell.
[0045] In some embodiments, the tap density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is 0.82 g / cm 3 to 1.21 g / cm 3 . When the tap density of the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer is within the appropriate range, the rapid charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0046] In some embodiments, the tap density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is 0.90 g / cm 3 to 1.25 g / cm 3 . When the tap density of the carbon-based material in the second negative electrode film layer is within the appropriate range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved.
[0047] In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is 9.5 μm to 18.5 μm. When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the rapid charging performance can be improved.
[0048] In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer is 7.8 μm to 14.3 μm. When the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the second negative electrode film layer is in the above range, the tortuosity of lithium ion transmission can be reduced, and the rapid charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0049] In some embodiments, the first negative electrode film layer further comprises a first lithium-containing binder, and the second negative electrode film layer further comprises a second lithium-containing binder, and the mass content of the first lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the mass content of the second lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the second negative electrode film layer.
[0050] Thus, in the embodiments of the present application, the mass content of the second lithium-containing binder in the second negative electrode film layer is relatively high, and the second lithium-containing binder provides a relatively large number of freely movable lithium ions for the second negative electrode film layer, which can further improve the rapid charging performance of the battery cell.
[0051] In some embodiments, the mass content of the first lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the first negative electrode film layer is 0.1% to 1%. When the mass content of the first lithium-containing binder is in the above range, the deintercalation rate of lithium ions can be improved, and the rapid charging performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0052] In some embodiments, the mass content of lithium in the first lithium-containing binder is 3% to 10%, or optionally 3% to 8%. When the mass content of lithium is in the above range, the number of freely movable lithium ions in the negative electrode film layer can be relatively large, which can further shorten the distance of lithium ion diffusion to the surface of the negative electrode film layer, improve the deintercalation rate of lithium ions, and improve the rapid charging performance of the battery cell.
[0053] In some embodiments, the mass content of the second lithium-containing binder relative to the mass of the second negative electrode film layer is 0.1% to 1%. When the mass content of lithium in the second lithium-containing binder is in the above range, the deintercalation rate of lithium ions is improved, and the rapid charging performance of the battery cell is improved.
[0054] In some embodiments, the mass content of lithium in the second lithium-containing binder is 3% to 10%, or optionally 3% to 8%. When the mass content of lithium is in the above range, the number of freely movable lithium ions in the negative electrode film layer can be relatively large, which can further shorten the distance of lithium ion diffusion to the surface of the negative electrode film layer, improve the deintercalation rate of lithium ions, and improve the rapid charging performance of the battery cell.
[0055] In some embodiments, the first lithium-containing binder comprises a lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer, the lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer is derived from lithium acrylate monomers, acrylonitrile monomers, acrylamide monomers, and hydroxyethyl acrylate monomers, and the molar ratio of the lithium acrylate monomers, the acrylonitrile monomers, the acrylamide monomers, and the hydroxyethyl acrylate monomers is 30% to 50%: 15% to 45%: 5% to 20%: 20% to 35%.
[0056] Thus, the lithium-containing binder of the above material can provide a certain amount of lithium ions for the negative electrode film layer, improve the rapid charging performance of the battery monomer, and is not prone to swelling during the charging and discharging process, and has a stable structure, so that the cycle performance of the negative electrode film layer is improved during the rapid charging and discharging process.

[0058] Thus, the lithium-containing binder of the above material can provide a certain amount of lithium ions for the negative electrode film layer, improve the rapid charging performance of the battery monomer, and is not prone to swelling during the charging and discharging process, and has a stable structure, so that the cycle performance of the negative electrode film layer is improved during the rapid charging and discharging process.
[0059] In some embodiments, the negative active material further comprises a silicon-based material, and the mass content of silicon in the silicon-based material is 0.3% to 10.0%, based on the mass of the negative active material. The introduction of the silicon-based material can improve the capacity of the negative active material and increase the energy density of the battery monomer.

[0063] In some embodiments, the negative electrode conductive layer comprises one or more of a negative electrode conductive agent and a negative electrode binder. The negative electrode conductive agent in the negative electrode conductive layer can improve the conductivity of the negative electrode conductive layer, thereby improving the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet, reducing the heat generation of the battery cell. The negative electrode binder in the negative electrode conductive layer can improve the adhesion between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode film layer, improve the structural stability of the negative electrode sheet.
[0064] In some embodiments, the negative electrode conductive agent comprises one or more of super-conductive carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0065] In some embodiments, the negative electrode binder comprises one or more of styrene butadiene rubber, water-soluble unsaturated resin SR-1B, water-based acrylic resin, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate, and carboxymethyl chitosan.
[0066] In some embodiments, the separator film comprises a base film with a porous structure, and the porosity of the base film is 20% to 70%.

When the mass content of the chain carboxylic acid ester-based solvent is within the above range, the viscosity of the electrolyte system is relatively small, which is conducive to the migration of lithium ions.

[0126] With the development of the battery field, the energy density requirement of the battery monomer is gradually improved, especially in the case of relatively small battery monomer, it is more difficult to improve the energy density of the battery monomer.
[0127] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application reasonably design the system of the battery monomer, improve the energy density of the battery monomer by improving the discharge capacity of the positive electrode film layer in the battery monomer and the coating size of the positive electrode film layer.
[0128] Battery monomer
[0129] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery monomer.
[0130] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the battery monomer 7 comprises an electrolyte, an electrode assembly 10 and a shell 20, the electrode assembly 10 comprises a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator film, the separator film is located between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer provided on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector along the thickness direction of the positive electrode sheet and containing a positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active material comprises lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure; the negative electrode sheet comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer provided on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector along the thickness direction of the negative electrode sheet and containing a negative electrode active material, the shell 20 comprises a shell body 21 and an end cover 22, the shell body 21 has an opening and contains the electrolyte and the electrode assembly 10, and the end cover 22 covers the opening; wherein the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is 2.0 mAh / cm 2 to 3.7 mAh / cm 2 , the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction X is 75 mm to 105 mm, and the first direction X is parallel to the direction from the shell body 21 to the end cover 22.
[0131] Generally, when the battery cell 7 is assembled to the box body, the battery cell 7 is vertically placed, the height direction of the battery cell 7 is parallel to the direction in which the shell 21 points to the end cover 22, that is, the height direction of the battery cell 7 is parallel to the first direction X.
[0132] When the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction X is less than 75 mm, for example, the coating size of the positive electrode active material is relatively small, which is not conducive to the improvement of the energy density of the battery cell 7; with the increase of the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction X, the coating size of the positive electrode active material can be increased, so that the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is greater than or equal to 2.0 mAh / cm 2 , which can improve the energy density of the battery cell 7; however, when the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is greater than 3.7 mAh / cm 2 , the coating amount of the positive electrode film layer may be too large, resulting in large migration resistance of lithium ions, which is not conducive to the improvement of the rapid charging performance of the battery cell 7, and further limits the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction X to be less than or equal to 105 mm, which is conducive to the comprehensive improvement of the energy density and rapid charging performance of the battery cell 7 to a certain extent.
[0133] Therefore, when the size of the positive electrode film layer along the first direction X in the embodiment of the application is 75 mm to 105 mm, the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is 2.0 mAh / cm 2 to 3.7 mAh / cm 2 , which can effectively improve the energy density of the battery cell 7 and is suitable for the battery cell 7 of the rapid charging system.
[0134] In the embodiment of the application, the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is 2.0 mAh / cm 2 to 3.7 mAh / cm 2 , which can be 2.4 mAh / cm 2 to 3.4 mAh / cm 2 . For example, the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is 2.0 mAh / cm 2 , 2.1 mAh / cm 2 , 2.2 mAh / cm 2 , 2.3 mAh / cm 2 , 2.4 mAh / cm 2 , 2.5 mAh / cm 2 , 2.6 mAh / cm 2 , 2.7 mAh / cm 2 , 2.8 mAh / cm 2 , 2.9 mAh / cm 2 , 3.0 mAh / cm 2 , 3.1 mAh / cm2 3.2 mAh / cm2 2 3.3 mAh / cm2 2 3.4 mAh / cm2 2 3.5 mAh / cm2 2 3.6 mAh / cm2 2 3.7 mAh / cm2 2 or a range between any two of the above values.
[0135] In some embodiments, the ratio CB of the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer to the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is 1.05 to 1.15, which can be optionally 1.07 to 1.13. Illustratively, the ratio CB of the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer to the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer in the battery cell 7 is 1.05, 1.07, 1.1, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, or a range between any two of the above values.
[0136] When the ratio CB of the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer to the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the lithium ions extracted from the positive electrode film layer can be substantially inserted into the negative electrode film layer, reducing the risk of lithium precipitation in the negative electrode film layer and improving the use reliability of the battery cell 7. Since the risk of lithium precipitation is low, the loss of lithium is less, which can reduce the capacity loss of the battery cell 7 and improve its cycle performance and fast charging performance.
[0137] In some embodiments, the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer is 2.0 mAh / cm2 2 to 4.1 mAh / cm2 2 , which can be optionally 2.4 mAh / cm2 2 to 3.7 mAh / cm2 2 . Illustratively, the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer is 2.0 mAh / cm2 2 , 2.1 mAh / cm2 2 , 2.2 mAh / cm2 2 , 2.3 mAh / cm2 2 , 2.4 mAh / cm2 2 , 2.5 mAh / cm2 2 , 2.6 mAh / cm2 2 , 2.7 mAh / cm2 2 , 2.8 mAh / cm2 2 , 2.9 mAh / cm2 2 , 3.0 mAh / cm2 2 , 3.1 mAh / cm2 2 , 3.2 mAh / cm2 2 , 3.3 mAh / cm2 23.4 mAh / cm 2 3.5 mAh / cm 2 3.6 mAh / cm 2 3.7 mAh / cm 2 3.8 mAh / cm 2 3.9 mAh / cm 2 4.0 mAh / cm 2 4.1 mAh / cm 2 or a range between any two of the above values.
[0138] When the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer is in the above range, there are sufficient sites in the negative electrode film layer for lithium intercalation, which can reduce the risk of lithium precipitation; and is conducive to fast charging.
[0139] In the embodiments of the present application, the CB value can be detected by using devices and methods known in the art, for example, the discharge capacity per unit area of the negative electrode film layer and the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer are calculated respectively, and the ratio of the two is calculated to obtain the CB value;
[0140] The upper limit voltage of charging and the discharge cut-off voltage of the battery monomer 7 are different according to different positive electrode active materials, for example, when the phosphate material includes lithium iron phosphate, the upper limit voltage of charging can be 3.65V, and the discharge cut-off voltage can be 2.0V, for example, when the phosphate material includes lithium manganese iron phosphate, the upper limit voltage of charging can be 4.3V, and the discharge cut-off voltage can be 2.0V, and the following is described taking the upper limit voltage of charging as 3.65V and the discharge cut-off voltage as 2.0V as an example:
[0141] The discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer refers to the actual delithiation capacity of the positive electrode active material. The test method is as follows: the battery is disassembled in a PRS340 / 11-119-11 Braun glove box, the positive electrode sheet is taken out, and a CR2430 type half buckle battery of positive electrode-lithium sheet is assembled, the area of the positive electrode sheet used is a*mm 2 wherein the electrolyte is a solution of 1 mol / L LiPF6 in EC / EMC / DEC = 3 / 5 / 2 (mass ratio); then the assembled half buckle battery is left for 3h, the test is carried out at 25℃, 0.1C is used to charge (Charge) delithiation in the voltage range of 2.0V to 3.65V, then 0.05C is used to discharge (Discharge) lithium intercalation to 2.0V, and the discharge capacity of the second cycle is taken as Y mAh, the actual battery design positive electrode sheet length is bmm, the width is cmm, the number of positive electrode active material coated on the positive electrode current collector is d, then the discharge capacity per unit area of the positive electrode film layer = Y / a*b*c*d.
[0142] Specifically, the discharge capacity of the negative electrode film layer per unit area refers to the actual lithium intercalation capacity of the negative electrode active material. The test method is as follows: the battery is disassembled in a PRS340 / 11-119-11 Braun glove box, the negative electrode sheet is taken out, and a CR2430 type half-buckle battery of negative electrode-lithium sheet is assembled. The area of the negative electrode sheet used is f mm x i mm 2 wherein the electrolyte is a solution of 1 mol / L LiPF6 in EC / EMC / DEC = 3 / 5 / 2 (mass ratio); then the assembled half-buckle battery is left to stand for 3 h, the test is carried out at 25°C, and the lithium intercalation is carried out at a voltage interval of 2V-0V at 0.1C, and then the lithium deintercalation is carried out at 0.05C to 2V, and the discharge capacity of the second cycle is taken as Z mAh. The actual battery design negative electrode sheet length is h mm, the width is i mm, the number of negative electrode active material coated on the negative electrode current collector is d, and then the negative electrode lithium intercalation capacity = Z / f*h*i*d.
[0143] In some embodiments, the size of the negative electrode film layer along the length direction of the negative electrode sheet is greater than the size of the positive electrode film layer along the length direction of the positive electrode sheet, and the difference between the two is 0.5mm to 3.0mm, for example, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, or a range composed of any two of the above values. Since the size of the negative electrode film layer is relatively large, it can provide sufficient lithium intercalation sites for lithium ions, reduce the risk of lithium precipitation, and improve the use reliability of the battery monomer 7.
[0144] In some embodiments, the size of the negative electrode film layer along the width direction of the negative electrode sheet is greater than the size of the positive electrode film layer along the width direction of the positive electrode sheet, and the difference between the two is 0.5mm to 3.0mm, for example, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, or a range composed of any two of the above values. Since the size of the negative electrode film layer is relatively large, it can provide sufficient lithium intercalation sites for lithium ions, reduce the risk of lithium precipitation, and improve the use reliability of the battery monomer 7.
[0145] In some embodiments, the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 13mS / cm to 20mS / cm, which can be selected to be 15mS / cm to 20mS / cm.

[0146] When the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature, for example, 25°C, is in the above range, the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte is high, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery monomer, thereby reducing heat generation and improving the rapid charging performance of the battery monomer.
[0147] In embodiments of the present application, the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature, for example, 25°C, is ionic conductivity, which can be detected by using devices and methods known in the art, for example, by testing according to the industry standard HG-T 4067-2015.
[0148] The conductivity of the electrolyte can be adjusted by adjusting the type and content of the organic solvent in the electrolyte; or by adjusting the type and content of lithium salt and the like in the electrolyte.

[0195] In some embodiments, the battery cell satisfies 2.45 g / Ah≤d / A≤3.5 g / Ah, which can be optionally 2.45 g / Ah≤d / A≤3.3 g / Ah, wherein d represents the mass of the electrolyte in the battery cell, in units of g, and A represents the rated capacity of the battery cell, in units of Ah. Exemplarily, d / A can be 3.5 g / Ah, 3.3 g / Ah, 3.2 g / Ah, 3.0 g / Ah, 2.8 g / Ah, 2.5 g / Ah, 2.45 g / Ah or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0196] d / A can reflect the liquid retention capacity of the electrolyte, when d / A is in the above range, the electrolyte can have a good infiltration effect on the positive and negative electrode sheets, and can also improve the migration rate of lithium ions in the liquid phase, which is beneficial to improving the rapid charging capacity of the battery cell.
[0197] In the embodiments of the present application, d / A of the battery cell can be understood as the liquid retention coefficient, which can be detected by using the devices and methods known in the art, for example, the description is made by taking the battery charging upper limit voltage as 3.65 V and the battery discharging cutoff voltage as 2.0 V according to GB / T 31486-2015 "Electric performance requirements and test methods for power storage batteries for electric vehicles".
[0198] The battery cell is charged at 0.33C to 3.65V at 25°C, then charged at 0.05C, and then discharged at 0.33C to 2.0V, to obtain the capacity A discharged as the denominator, the battery cell is weighed as M0, then the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet, the separator, and the electrolyte are disassembled, the free electrolyte is in a bag, all the solid components are placed in a 60°C oven for more than 4 hours (including but not only the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet, the separator, and other mechanical parts contributing to M0), then all the components of the battery cell are weighed as M1, and the weight difference between M0 and M1 is taken as the numerator. The liquid retention coefficient is equal to the value obtained by dividing the weight difference between M0 and M1 by the capacity A.
[0199] [Positive electrode sheet]
[0200] The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector and including a positive electrode active material. For example, the positive electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite in the thickness direction of the positive electrode current collector, and the positive electrode film layer is disposed on either one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.
[0201] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer has a compaction density of 2.50 g / cm 3 to 2.80 g / cm 3 , optionally 2.55 g / cm 3 to 2.70 g / cm 3 at 100% state of charge (SOC) of the battery cell. 3 , 2.52 g / cm 3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.56 g / cm 3 , 2.57 g / cm 3 , 2.58 g / cm 3 , 2.60 g / cm 3 , 2.62 g / cm 3 , 2.65 g / cm 3 , 2.68 g / cm 3 , 2.70 g / cm 3 , 2.72 g / cm 3 , 2.75 g / cm 3 , 2.78 g / cm 3 , 2.80 g / cm 3 , or a range defined by any two of the above values.
[0202] When the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is in the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer is packed more closely, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing the heat generation under fast charging. Therefore, by adjusting the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer to a reasonable range, the battery cell has high energy density and high charging rate performance.
[0203] In the embodiments of the present application, the 100% state of charge SOC and the 0% state of charge SOC of the battery cell are defined as follows,
[0204] The battery cell is charged to the upper limit voltage at a constant current charging rate of 0.33C, and then charged to 0.05C at a constant voltage, corresponding to the state of 100% SOC of the battery cell; the battery cell is discharged to the cut-off voltage at a constant current discharge rate of 0.33C, corresponding to the state of 0% SOC of the battery cell.
[0205] In some embodiments, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , and optionally 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . For example, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 210 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 220 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 230 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 250 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 260 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 270 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 280 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 290 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 300 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 310 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 320 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 340 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 350 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 360 mg / 1540.25 mm2 370 mg / 15 40.25 mm 2 or a range between any two of the above values.
[0206] When the single-side coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the positive electrode tab will not be too large, and the energy density and the charge rate performance of the battery cell can be improved.
[0207] In the embodiments of the present application, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer of the battery cell at 100% state of charge (SOC) can be detected by the following method. The positive electrode tab of the battery cell at 100% SOC is disassembled, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is measured, for example, the single-side coated positive electrode tab (if it is a double-side coated tab, the positive electrode film layer on one side can be wiped off first), a small disc with an area of S1 is punched out, weighed, recorded as M1, and its thickness H1 is measured. Then the positive electrode film layer of the above weighed positive electrode tab is wiped off, the weight of the positive electrode current collector is weighed, recorded as M0, and its thickness H0 is measured. The single-side coating weight of the positive electrode film layer = (the weight of the positive electrode tab M1 - the weight of the positive electrode current collector M0) / S1, the thickness of the positive electrode film layer = the thickness of the positive electrode tab H1 - the thickness of the positive electrode current collector H0, and the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer = the single-side coating weight of the positive electrode film layer / the thickness of the positive electrode film layer.
[0208] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material is 1 Ω·cm to 27.5 Ω·cm, optionally, less than or equal to 20 Ω·cm, optionally, less than or equal to 11 Ω·cm. For example, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material can be 27.5 Ω·cm, 20 Ω·cm, 19 Ω·cm, 18 Ω·cm, 17 Ω·cm, 16 Ω·cm, 15 Ω·cm, 14 Ω·cm, 13 Ω·cm, 12 Ω·cm, 11 Ω·cm, 10 Ω·cm, 9 Ω·cm, 8 Ω·cm, 7 Ω·cm, 6 Ω·cm, 5 Ω·cm, 4 Ω·cm, 3 Ω·cm, 2 Ω·cm, 1 Ω·cm, or a range between any two of the above values.
[0209] The relatively low powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material makes the resistance of the positive electrode tab relatively low, and the battery cell generates less heat.
[0210] In the embodiments of the present application, the powder resistivity of the material is the meaning known in the art, which can be detected by the methods and devices known in the art, for example, according to the test standard GB / T30835-2014, using PRCD1100 powder resistivity meter for testing.
[0211] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material at 30000 N is 2.46 g / cm 32.8 g / cm 3 Exemplarily, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000N is 2.46 g / cm 3 , 2.47 g / cm 3 , 2.48 g / cm 3 , 2.49 g / cm 3 , 2.5 g / cm 3 , 2.51 g / cm 3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.58 g / cm 3 , 2.60 g / cm 3 , 2.65 g / cm 3 , 2.68 g / cm 3 , 2.70 g / cm 3 , 2.72 g / cm 3 , 2.75 g / cm 3 , 2.78 g / cm 3 , 2.80 g / cm 3 , or a range formed by any two of the above values.
[0212] When the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000N is in the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer can be more closely stacked, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the pole piece, thereby reducing the heat generation.
[0213] In the embodiments of the present application, the powder compaction density of the material is the meaning known in the art, which can be detected by the method and equipment known in the art according to the test standard GB / T24533-2009. For example, a certain amount of positive electrode active material is taken as a sample, added into a mold with a bottom area of 1.327 cm 2 of the UTM7305 electronic pressure testing machine, pressurized to 3000 kg (equivalent to 30000N), keep pressure for 30 s, then release pressure, keep for 10 s, then record and calculate the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under the action of 30000N.
[0214] In some embodiments, the charging gram capacity of the positive electrode active material at 0.1C rate is 150 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g, which can be 157 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g. Illustratively, the charging gram capacity of the positive electrode active material at 0.1C rate is 150 mAh / g, 151 mAh / g, 152 mAh / g, 153 mAh / g, 154 mAh / g, 155 mAh / g, 156 mAh / g, 157 mAh / g, 158 mAh / g, 159 mAh / g, 160 mAh / g, 161 mAh / g, 162 mAh / g, 163 mAh / g, 164 mAh / g, 165 mAh / g, 166 mAh / g, 167 mAh / g, 168 mAh / g, 169 mAh / g, 170 mAh / g, or a range between any two of the above values.
[0215] When the charging gram capacity of the positive electrode active material at 0.1C rate is in the above range, the energy density of the battery cell is relatively high.
[0216] In the embodiments of the present application, the gram capacity of the active material is the meaning known in the art, which can be tested by using the devices and methods known in the art, and the test method of the first coulombic efficiency and the first discharge specific capacity in Appendix G of the national standard GB / T 24533-2019 can be used. The half-button battery is assembled by taking lithium metal as the negative electrode and the sample electrode tab containing the above material as the positive electrode. The half-button battery is placed in a battery tester or other testing equipment with the same performance at 23℃±2℃, and the button capacity is obtained by 0.1C rate charging and discharging. Then the capacity is divided by the mass of the active material of the electrode tab to obtain the charging gram capacity parameter.
[0217] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material can be greater than or equal to 80% and less than or equal to 100%, and the positive electrode active material of the present application can be considered to be an olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate system. When the mass fraction of the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate is less than 100%, the positive electrode active material can also include commonly used positive electrode active materials, for example, can include but is not limited to at least one of lithium-containing transition metal oxides. Examples of lithium-containing transition metal oxides can include but are not limited to at least one of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt oxide, lithium manganese cobalt oxide, lithium nickel manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, and their respective modified compounds.
[0218] Optionally, the mass fraction of the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material is 100%.
[0219] In the embodiments of the present application, the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure can be phosphate particles or a material obtained after coating modification of the phosphate particles, for example, the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure includes phosphate particles and a coating layer, the coating layer is coated on the surface of the phosphate particles, and the coating layer contains one or more elements of C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge and Sn.
[0220] The phosphate particles are coated with the coating layer, which can improve the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure, reduce the powder resistivity of the material, and be beneficial to the migration rate of lithium ions, improve the rapid charging capability of the battery, and reduce the heat generation of the battery monomer.
[0221] In some embodiments, the phosphate particles include a compound with a general formula of Li x1 A y1 Me a M b P 1-c X c Y z , wherein 0.5≤x1≤1.3, 0≤y1≤1.3, and 0.9≤x1+y1≤1.3, 0.9≤a≤1.5, 0≤b≤0.5, and 0.9≤a+b≤1.5, 0≤c≤0.5, 3≤z≤5, A includes one or more of Na, K, Mg, Me includes one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, M includes one or more of B, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Te, Ba, Ta, W, Yb, La, Ce, X includes one or more of S, Si, Cl, B, C, N, and Y includes one or more of O, F. The cycle stability of the phosphate particles is relatively excellent, which is beneficial to improving the cycle performance of the battery monomer.
[0222] Exemplarily, the phosphate particles include one or more of LiFePO4, LiMnPO4, LiNiPO4, LiCoPO4. During the charging and discharging process, the battery cell is accompanied by the deintercalation and consumption of active ions such as Li, and the battery cell has different molar contents of Li when discharged to different states. In the enumeration of the positive electrode active materials LiFePO4, LiMnPO4, LiNiPO4, LiCoPO4, etc., the molar content of Li is the initial state of the material, that is, the state before feeding, and the positive electrode active material is applied to the battery system. After charging and discharging cycles, the molar content of Li may change. In the enumeration of the positive electrode active materials LiFePO4, LiMnPO4, LiNiPO4, LiCoPO4, etc. in the embodiments of the application, the molar content of oxygen O is only the theoretical state value, and the release of oxygen from the lattice will cause the molar content of oxygen O to change. In fact, the molar content of oxygen O will fluctuate, and the above-mentioned situations are all within the protection scope of the application.
[0223] In some embodiments, the coating layer includes a fast ion conductor with a general formula of Li 3-d Fe 2-d M2 d (PO x2 ) y2 , M2 includes one or more elements of Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn, 0≤d≤1, 0
[0224] Exemplarily, the fast ion conductor is a material with a NASICON structure, for example, including one or more of lithium titanium iron phosphate Li2FeTi(PO4)3, lithium zirconium iron phosphate Li2FeZr(PO4)3, lithium tin iron phosphate Li2FeSn(PO4)3.
[0225] The fast ion conductor with a NASICON structure is a material with super-fast ion conduction ability, has abundant three-dimensional lithium ion diffusion and transmission channels, and has the advantages of high ion conduction efficiency and strong structural stability in multiple delithiation and lithium intercalation processes. Coating the surface of the phosphate particles with the fast ion conductor containing the NASICON structure can significantly improve the transmission rate of lithium ions in the positive electrode end during multiple delithiation and lithium intercalation, improve the ion conductivity of the positive electrode active material, and improve the rapid charging capacity of the battery cell. In addition, it can also improve the specific capacity and the energy density of the corresponding battery cell.
[0226] In some embodiments, the coating layer further includes elemental carbon.
[0227] The carbon element and the fast ion conductor can be arranged in layers, for example, the carbon element as an independent carbon coating layer and the fast ion conductor as an independent fast ion conductor layer. The carbon coating layer can be coated on the surface of the phosphate particles, and the fast ion conductor layer is located on the surface of the carbon coating layer, that is, the fast ion conductor layer is located on the side of the carbon coating layer away from the phosphate particles. Alternatively, the fast ion conductor layer can be coated on the surface of the phosphate particles, and the carbon coating layer is located on the surface of the fast ion conductor layer, that is, the carbon coating layer is located on the side of the fast ion conductor layer away from the phosphate particles. Of course, the carbon element and the fast ion conductor can also be arranged in the same layer.
[0228] Optionally, the carbon coating layer can be coated on the surface of the fast ion conductor layer by a carbonization process using an organic carbon source (for example, glucose, polyethylene glycol, etc.). The carbon coating layer can partially coat the fast ion conductor layer or completely coat the fast ion conductor layer. The arrangement of the carbon coating layer can significantly improve the electronic conductivity of the phosphate particles, compensate for the poor electronic conductivity of the phosphate particles, and improve the energy density of the battery cell.
[0229] Specifically, the arrangement of the carbon coating layer provides the following advantages for the positive electrode active material of the application:
[0230] The carbon coating layer in the positive electrode active material of the application provides a suitable channel for the transmission of electrons, which can significantly improve the conduction rate of electrons during multiple delithiation and lithiation processes, improve the electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate, and improve the charging capacity and energy density of the corresponding battery cell.
[0231] The carbon coating layer of the positive electrode active material of the application is porous, which enables the electrolyte to fully and effectively contact the lithium-containing phosphate, thereby improving the transmission rate of lithium ions at the phase interface and improving the charging capacity of the battery cell.
[0232] Coating a carbon coating layer on the surface of the lithium-containing phosphate not only improves the electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate, but also improves the structural stability of the positive electrode active material, effectively alleviates the iron dissolution phenomenon of the positive electrode active material during long-term storage and cyclic use of the battery cell, and thus improves the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0233] The positive electrode active material of the application uses lithium-containing phosphate as the base material, fully utilizes the advantages of low cost, high reliability, and good cycle stability of lithium-containing phosphate, and solves the problems of poor electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity by using the coating layer (fast ion conductor layer and carbon coating layer). The battery cell prepared from the positive electrode active material of the application can improve the energy density of the battery cell while having excellent cycle performance.
[0234] In the embodiments of the present application, the content of elements in the positive electrode active material is in the meaning known in the art, which can be detected by using the devices and methods known in the art, for example, referring to EPA 6010D-2014, tested by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, and determined by plasma atomic emission (ICP-OES, instrument model: Thermo ICAP7400). After disassembling the positive electrode sheet from the battery monomer discharged to 0% state of charge SOC, washing and drying with DMC, and removing impurities by high temperature calcination, 0.4g of the positive electrode active material is weighed, 10ml (50% concentration) aqua regia is added thereto. Then it is placed on a 180℃ flat plate for 30min. After digestion on the flat plate, it is diluted to a volume of 100ml, and the quantitative test is carried out by the standard curve method.
[0235] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is 0.15 to 0.32, which can be 0.19 to 0.26. Illustratively, the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.20, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.30, 0.31, 0.32, or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0236] When the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is in the above range, it is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the positive electrode active material and reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode sheet, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery monomer.
[0237] In the embodiments of the present application, the higher the graphitization degree of the material, the lower the degree of disorder, which can be tested according to the test standard JIS / K 0131-1996 X-ray diffraction analysis method general rules.

[0265] In the embodiments of the present application, the thicknesses of the positive film layer and the positive current collector have the meanings known in the art, and can be detected by using the devices and methods known in the art. For example, the thickness of the positive electrode sheet can be measured by using a micrometer, the thickness of the positive current collector can be measured by using a micrometer after removing the film layer on the surface of the positive current collector, and the thickness of the positive film layer can be measured by subtracting the thickness of the positive current collector from the thickness of the positive electrode sheet when the positive film layer is single-sided coated, or by dividing the thickness of the positive electrode sheet by 2 when the positive film layer is double-sided coated.
[0266] The positive electrode film layer is usually formed by coating a positive electrode slurry on a positive electrode current collector, and then drying and cold-pressing. The positive electrode slurry is usually formed by dispersing and uniformly stirring a positive electrode active material, an optional conductive agent, an optional binder, and any other components in a solvent. The solvent can be N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), but is not limited thereto.
[0267] The positive electrode tab does not exclude other additional functional layers in addition to the positive electrode film layer. For example, in some embodiments, the positive electrode tab of the embodiments of the present application further comprises a positive electrode conductive layer sandwiched between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode film layer, and arranged on the surface of the positive electrode current collector.

[0270] When the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is within the above range, the conductivity of the positive electrode tab can be further improved, the heat generation of the positive electrode tab can be reduced, and thus the heat generation of the battery cell can be reduced, while the energy density of the battery cell can be improved.
[0271] In the embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer has the meaning known in the art, and can be detected by using the devices and methods known in the art, for example, by performing tomography on the positive electrode tab to directly measure the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer.

[0274] For example, the positive electrode conductive agent comprises one or more of super-conductive carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers. The positive electrode conductive agent in the positive electrode conductive layer can improve the conductivity of the positive electrode conductive layer, and thus improve the conductivity of the positive electrode tab and reduce the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0275] Optionally, the mass content of the positive electrode binder in the positive electrode conductive layer is 50% to 70%. Illustratively, the mass content of the positive electrode binder in the positive electrode conductive layer is 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, or a range between any two of the above values.

[0280] When the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and since the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer is packed more closely, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the tab and thus reduce heat generation.

[0289] When the powder compaction density of the negative active material at 20000 N is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and the negative active material in the negative electrode film layer can be more closely packed, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing the heat generation.

For example, after the isolation film is obtained, the isolation film is dried as a sample, the isolation film is cut by an ion beam cutter to form a cross section, and then the particle size of the second inorganic particles in the isolation film is measured by using a scanning electron microscope. The particle size of a plurality of, for example, 50, second inorganic particles is measured, and the average value is calculated as the average particle size of the second inorganic particles.

[0543] Test results
[0544] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0545] Table 1
[0546] In Table 1,
[0547] The height (dimension along the first direction) of the battery monomer is 97 mm, and the thickness of the battery monomer is 71 mm. The height (dimension along the first direction) of the positive electrode film layer is 80 mm, and the height (dimension along the first direction) of the negative electrode film layer is 83 mm, that is, the height of the negative electrode film layer is greater than that of the positive electrode film layer, and the difference is 3 mm.
[0548] The discharge gram capacity of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer at 0.1C rate is 157 mAh / g, and the discharge gram capacity of the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer at 0.1C rate is 355 mAh / g.
[0549] The coating weight of the positive electrode film layer in Comparative Example 1 is small, resulting in too small discharge capacity and too small volumetric energy density of the battery monomer, which cannot meet the demand; while the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer in Comparative Example 2 is too large, although it can significantly improve the discharge capacity of the positive electrode film layer and improve the volumetric energy density of the battery monomer, but the impedance of the positive electrode film layer increases, which makes the rapid charging performance of the battery monomer decrease.
[0550] And in the embodiment of the present application, the discharge capacity of the positive electrode film layer per unit area is 2.0 mAh / cm 2 to 3.7 mAh / cm 2 , which can effectively balance the improvement of the volumetric energy density and the rapid charging performance of the battery monomer; the discharge capacity can be effectively controlled by the coating weight, for example, when the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , the discharge capacity of the positive electrode film layer is within an appropriate range.
[0551] The discharge capacity of the negative electrode film layer can be further regulated to 2.0 mAh / cm 2 to 4.1 mAh / cm 2 , and the positive electrode film layer is used in combination, which can improve the volume energy density and fast charging performance of the battery monomer, and also can make the CB value in the range of 1.05 to 1.15, reduce the risk of lithium precipitation, and improve the use reliability of the battery monomer. The discharge capacity of the negative electrode film layer can also be effectively regulated by the coating weight, for example, when the coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is 90 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 170 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , the discharge capacity of the negative electrode film layer is in an appropriate range.
[0552] Example 4
[0553] The battery monomer is prepared by a method similar to that of Example 1, and the difference from Example 1 is that the content of each component of the organic solvent is adjusted.
[0554] The test results are shown in Table 2.
[0555] Table 2
[0556] When the conductivity of the electrolyte is 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm, and optionally 15 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm, the migration rate of lithium ions in the battery monomer increases with the increase of the conductivity, which is beneficial to improve the fast charging performance of the battery monomer.
[0557] Comparative Example 3
[0558] The battery monomer is prepared by a method similar to that of Example 1, and the difference from Example 1 is that the size of the battery monomer is adjusted, and the size of the positive electrode film layer and the negative electrode film layer is also adjusted.
