[0001] The present application relates to a battery cell, a battery device and a power utilization device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lithium ion batteries have the characteristics of high capacity and long service life, and are widely used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook computers, electric vehicles, electric vehicles, electric aircraft, electric ships and electric tools. 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 fast charging performance, cycle performance, etc.
[0003] SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a battery cell, a battery device and a power utilization device, which can reduce the heat generation of the battery cell and improve the fast charging performance and cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a battery cell, the battery cell comprising an electrode assembly, an electrolyte and a shell, the electrode assembly and the electrolyte being accommodated in the shell, the electrode assembly comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator film, the positive electrode sheet comprising a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode film layer comprising a positive electrode active material capable of providing lithium, the positive electrode active material comprising a lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure, the positive electrode sheet having a resistance of 0.1 Ω to 30 Ω, the negative electrode sheet comprising a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer arranged on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode film layer comprising a negative electrode active material capable of receiving lithium, the negative electrode sheet having a resistance of 0.001 Ω to 0.01 Ω, the separator film being located between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, the electrolyte comprising an organic solvent, the organic solvent comprising a chain ester solvent, the electrolyte having an electrical conductivity of 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm at room temperature.
[0006] Thus, in the embodiments of the present application, the positive electrode active material comprises a lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure, which has high cycle stability. By synergistically controlling the positive electrode sheet resistance, the negative electrode sheet resistance and the electrolyte conductivity within a reasonable range, on the one hand, the lithium ion transmission resistance in the battery cell can be reduced, the fast charging capacity of the battery cell can be improved, and the internal resistance DCR of the battery cell can be reduced; on the other hand, the cycle decay caused by excessive temperature rise during fast charging of the battery cell can be improved; and on the other hand, the problem of uneven temperature rise during fast charging of the battery cell can be improved, and the cycle decay problem caused by lithium precipitation can be reduced. In addition, by controlling the positive and negative electrode sheet resistance within a reasonable range, the temperature in the battery cell can be controlled within a reasonable range that the high-conductivity electrolyte can tolerate, thereby reducing the risk of weakening the fast charging performance of the battery due to the volatilization of the solvent components of the electrolyte.
[0007] In some embodiments, the electrolyte has an electrical conductivity of 15 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm at room temperature. When the electrolyte has an electrical conductivity in the above range, the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte is relatively high, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby reducing heat generation and improving the rapid charging performance of the battery cell.
[0008] In some embodiments, the positive electrode sheet has an electrical resistance of 0.1 Ω to 5 Ω. When the positive electrode sheet has an electrical resistance in the above range, the electrical resistance of the positive electrode sheet is relatively small, which is conducive to reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell.
[0009] In some embodiments, the positive electrode sheet has an electrical resistance of 0.1 Ω to 1 Ω. When the positive electrode sheet has an electrical resistance in the above range, the electrical resistance of the positive electrode sheet is relatively small, which is conducive to reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell.
[0010] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet has an electrical resistance of 0.001 Ω to 0.005 Ω. When the negative electrode sheet has an electrical resistance in the above range, the electrical resistance of the negative electrode sheet is relatively small, which is conducive to reducing the internal resistance of the battery cell.
[0011] In some embodiments, the electrolyte has a viscosity of 2.3 mPa·s to 3.5 mPa·s at room temperature. When the electrolyte has a viscosity in the above range, the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte is relatively high, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby reducing heat generation and improving the rapid charging performance of the battery cell.
[0012] In some embodiments, the electrolyte has a density of 1.05 g / mL to 1.35 g / mL at room temperature. When the electrolyte has a density in the above range, the migration rate of lithium ions in the electrolyte is relatively high, which can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby reducing heat generation and improving the rapid charging performance of the battery cell.
[0013] In some embodiments, the battery cell has a positive electrode film layer with a compacted density of 2.50 g / cm 3 to 2.80 g / cm 3 , which can be 2.55 g / cm 3 to 2.70 g / cm 3 at 100% state of charge. When the positive electrode film layer has a compacted density in the above range, it 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 packed relatively tightly, the contact resistance between particles is small, 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-sided coating weight of 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm2 Optionally 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 330 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 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 of the battery cell can be improved.
[0015] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer is 1.15 g / cm 3 to 1.36 g / cm 3 Optionally 1.25 g / cm 3 to 1.36 g / cm 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 since the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer is more densely packed, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the tab and thus reduce heat generation.
[0016] In some embodiments, the single-side coating weight of the negative electrode film layer is 90 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 170 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 Optionally 110 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 150 mg / 1540.25 mm 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 will not be too large, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved.
[0017] In some embodiments, the powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material is 1 Ω·cm to 27.5 Ω·cm. 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.
[0018] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is 2.46 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm 3 When the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000 N is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and since the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer is more densely packed, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the tab and thus reduce heat generation.
[0019] In some embodiments, the charge gram capacity of the positive electrode active material at 0.1C rate is 150 mAh / g to 170 mAh / 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.
[0020] 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.
[0021] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the negative active material under 20000N is 1.5 g / cm 3 to 1.85 g / cm 3 . When the powder compaction density of the negative active material under 20000N 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.
[0022] 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.
[0023] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate of olivine structure includes phosphate particles and a coating layer, the coating layer coats the phosphate particles, and the coating layer contains one or more elements of C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge and Sn. The phosphate particles are coated with the coating layer on the surface, which can improve the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate of olivine structure, reduce the powder resistivity of the material, and facilitate the migration rate of lithium ions, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0024] In some embodiments, the phosphate particles include 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 comprises one or more of Na, K, Mg, Me comprises one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, M comprises 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 comprises one or more of S, Si, Cl, B, C, N, and Y comprises one or more of O, F. The cycle stability of the phosphate particles is relatively excellent, which is conducive to improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.

[0026] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of the positive active material is 0.15 to 0.32, and can be 0.19 to 0.26. When the graphitization degree of the positive active material is in the above range, the conductivity of the positive active material is improved, and the heat generation of the positive plate is reduced, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.

[0028] Therefore, the material with the above mass content of carbon elements 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 olivine structure lithium-containing phosphate, and is conducive to the transmission of lithium ions at the phase interface.
[0029] 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, 0.4 μm≤Dv10≤0.7 μm. The particle size of the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate is relatively small, the lithium ion has a shorter deintercalation path in the positive electrode active material, and the heat generation is less. Moreover, the particle size of the positive electrode active material is not too small, and the agglomeration is unlikely to occur in the process of preparation, so that the performance of the positive electrode active material is stable.
[0030] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate is in a particulate form, and the lithium-containing olivine-structured phosphate includes secondary particles, and 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 above-mentioned materials can supplement lithium ions for the positive electrode film layer, make up for the irreversible loss of lithium ions in the system, and improve the capacity, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0032] 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-mentioned range, the current-carrying capacity of the positive electrode current collector is relatively excellent, and the battery cell can have a higher energy density.
[0033] In some embodiments, the positive electrode current collector 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 electrode sheet, and reduce the heat generation of the positive electrode electrode sheet, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0034] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is 0.5 μm to 2 μm. When the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is in the above-mentioned range, the conductivity of the positive electrode electrode sheet can be further improved, the heat generation of the positive electrode electrode sheet can be reduced, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved.
[0035] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive layer includes 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 electrode sheet, 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, and improve the structural stability of the positive electrode electrode sheet.
[0036] In some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive agent includes one or more of super-p carbon, conductive graphite, acetylene black, carbon black, ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

[0038] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes a carbon-based material, the carbon-based material includes graphite particles, and the graphite particles have a graphitization degree of 92.0% to 94.5%. When the graphitization degree of the graphite particles is within the above range, the graphite particles have excellent electrical conductivity, 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 include artificial graphite and a carbon coating layer, the artificial graphite includes secondary particles, and the carbon coating layer is coated on the surface of the artificial graphite. The carbon coating layer has a large number of end faces and defects, which can increase the number of sites for lithium ion deintercalation, and the carbon coating layer has excellent electrical conductivity, 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 within the above range, the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet and the heat generation of the battery cell can be further reduced.

[0042] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the particle sizes in the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer are different, 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 usually 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 extraction on the surface of the negative electrode sheet.
[0043] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer further comprises 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 filled more densely, so that the energy density of the battery cell is improved, and the first negative electrode film layer is relatively sparse in filling, and has 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.

[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 within 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.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mass content of lithium in the first lithium-containing binder is 3% to 10%, or 3% to 8%.

[0120] During the charging and discharging process of the battery cell, a thermal effect is generated. Specifically, during the charging process, the external power supply provides electrical energy to the battery cell, and a series of chemical reactions are triggered inside the battery, generating heat energy, so that the temperature of the battery cell increases during the charging process. During the discharging process, the battery cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy, while generating heat energy, so that the temperature of the battery cell increases during the discharging process. The increase in the temperature of the battery cell reduces the reliability of the battery cell, and even causes thermal runaway, and deteriorates the cycle performance, and the above problems are particularly significant in the battery of the fast charging system.
[0121] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application reasonably design the system of the battery monomer, reduce the internal resistance of the battery monomer, and reduce the heat generation of the battery monomer. Specifically, by reasonably configuring the characteristics of the positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet and the electrolyte affecting the internal resistance of the battery, the internal resistance of the battery monomer can be further reduced, thereby reducing the heat generation, and the use reliability and cycle performance of the battery monomer can be improved.
[0122] Battery monomer
[0123] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery monomer.
[0124] The battery monomer comprises an electrode assembly, an electrolyte and a shell, the electrode assembly and the electrolyte are contained in the shell, the electrode assembly comprises a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator, the positive electrode sheet comprises a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode film layer comprises a positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active material comprises a lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure, the resistance of the positive electrode sheet is 0.1 Ω to 30 Ω, the negative electrode sheet comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer arranged on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode film layer comprises a negative electrode active material, the resistance of the negative electrode sheet is 0.001 Ω to 0.01 Ω, the separator is located between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, the electrolyte comprises an organic solvent, the organic solvent comprises a chain carboxylic acid ester solvent, and the conductivity of the electrolyte at room temperature is 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm.
[0125] In the embodiments of the present application, the positive electrode active material comprises a lithium-containing phosphate with an olivine structure, which has high cycle stability. By synergistically controlling the resistance of the positive electrode sheet, the resistance of the negative electrode sheet and the conductivity of the electrolyte within a reasonable range, on the one hand, the transmission resistance of lithium ions in the battery monomer can be reduced, the rapid charging capacity of the battery can be improved, and the internal resistance DCR of the battery can be reduced; on the other hand, the cycle decay caused by excessive temperature rise during rapid charging of the battery monomer can be improved; on the other hand, the problem of uneven temperature rise during rapid charging of the battery can be improved, and the cycle decay problem caused by lithium precipitation of the battery monomer can be reduced; in addition, by controlling the resistance of the positive and negative electrode sheets within a reasonable range, the temperature in the battery monomer can be controlled within a reasonable range that the high-conductivity electrolyte can withstand, and the risk of weakening the fast charging performance of the battery due to the volatilization of the solvent components of the electrolyte can be reduced.
[0126] In summary, the battery monomer of the embodiments of the present application has the advantages of rapid charging, low DCR, good cycle performance and the like.
[0127] In the embodiments of the present application, the resistance of the positive electrode sheet can be adjusted by adjusting the material quality of the positive electrode active material, such as adjusting the graphitization degree and powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material.
[0128] In the embodiments of the present application, the resistance of the negative electrode sheet can be adjusted by adjusting the material of the negative electrode active material, for example, adjusting the graphitization degree, powder resistivity, etc. of the negative electrode active material.
[0129] In the embodiments of the present application, the conductivity of the electrolyte can be adjusted by adjusting the mass content of the chain carboxylate ester solvent in the organic solvent in the electrolyte.
[0130] The charging upper limit voltage and the discharging cut-off voltage of the battery cell are different according to the positive electrode active material, for example, when the phosphate material includes lithium iron phosphate, the charging upper limit voltage can be 3.65V, and the discharging cut-off voltage can be 2.0V, for example, when the phosphate material includes lithium manganese iron phosphate, the charging upper limit voltage can be 4.3V, and the discharging cut-off voltage can be 2.0V, and then taking the charging upper limit voltage of 3.65V and the discharging cut-off voltage of 2.0V as an example, the state of the battery cell is described as follows: 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,
[0131] The battery cell is charged to the charging 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, and the battery cell is discharged to the cut-off voltage at a constant current discharging rate of 0.33C, corresponding to the state of 0% SOC of the battery cell.
[0132] In the embodiments of the present application, the sheet resistance refers to the ability of current to flow through the sheet (the cross section of the current flow area along the thickness direction of the current collector and the film layer containing the electrode material located on both sides of the current collector), which can be detected by the following equipment and method:
[0133] As an example, after disassembling the sheet from the battery discharged to 0% SOC, the sheet is cleaned more than three times with a solvent such as dimethyl carbonate DMC, 20 parallel samples can be taken along the central axis of the sheet, each sample is symmetrical along the central axis, and the size of each sample is 4cmx25cm, wherein the central axis can be parallel to the length direction of the sheet. The above 20 parallel samples are tested by using a film resistance tester (Yuan Neng Technology, BER2500 model), and the average value is calculated as the sheet resistance.
[0134] [Positive electrode sheet]
[0135] 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 opposite surfaces in the thickness direction thereof, and the positive electrode film layer is disposed on any one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.
[0136] In the embodiments of the present application, the positive electrode tab has a resistance of 0.1 Ω to 30 Ω, which can be 0.1 Ω to 5 Ω, and further can be 0.1 Ω to 1 Ω. For example, the positive electrode tab has a resistance of 0.1 Ω, 0.5 Ω, 1 Ω, 1.5 Ω, 2 Ω, 2.5 Ω, 3 Ω, 3.5 Ω, 4 Ω, 4.5 Ω, 5 Ω, 5.5 Ω, 6 Ω, 6.5 Ω, 7 Ω, 7.5 Ω, 8 Ω, 8.5 Ω, 9 Ω, 9.5 Ω, 10 Ω, 10.5 Ω, 11 Ω, 11.5 Ω, 12 Ω, 12.5 Ω, 13 Ω, 13.5 Ω, 14 Ω, 14.5 Ω, 15 Ω, 15.5 Ω, 16 Ω, 16.5 Ω, 17 Ω, 17.5 Ω, 18 Ω, 18.5 Ω, 19 Ω, 20 Ω, 21 Ω, 22 Ω, 23 Ω, 24 Ω, 25 Ω, 26 Ω, 27 Ω, 28 Ω, 29 Ω, 30 Ω, or a range formed by any two of the above values.
[0137] When the positive electrode tab has a resistance in the above range, the resistance of the positive electrode tab is more suitable for the resistance of the negative electrode tab and the electrolyte system of the battery monomer, which is beneficial to reduce the internal resistance of the battery monomer and optimize the electrical performance of the battery monomer.
[0138] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer has a compacted density of 2.50 g / cm 3 to 2.80 g / cm 3 at 100% state of charge (SOC) of the battery monomer, which can be 2.55 g / cm 3 to 2.70 g / cm 3 . For example, the positive electrode film layer has a compacted density of 2.50 g / cm 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 formed by any two of the above values.
[0139] When the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is in the above range, the energy density of the battery monomer 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 monomer has high energy density and high charging rate performance.
[0140] 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 , 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 mm 2 , 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0141] When the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is in the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the positive electrode sheet will not be too large, and the energy density and charging rate performance of the battery monomer can be improved.
[0142] 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 sheet of the battery cell at 100% state of charge (SOC) is disassembled, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer is measured, for example, the single-sided coated positive electrode sheet (if it is a double-sided coated sheet, 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 sheet is wiped off, the weight of the positive electrode current collector is weighed, recorded as M0, and its thickness H0 is measured. The single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer = (the weight of the positive electrode sheet 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 sheet H1 - the thickness of the positive electrode current collector H0, and the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer = the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer / the thickness of the positive electrode film layer.
[0143] 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 defined by any two of the above values.
[0144] The relatively low powder resistivity of the positive electrode active material makes the resistance of the positive electrode sheet relatively low, and the battery cell generates less heat.
[0145] 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.
[0146] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000N is 2.46g / cm 3 to 2.8g / cm 3 . For example, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000N is 2.46g / cm 3 , 2.47g / cm 3 , 2.48g / cm 3 , 2.49g / cm 3 , 2.5g / cm 3 , 2.51g / cm3 2.55 g / cm3 3 2.58 g / cm3 3 2.60 g / cm3 3 2.65 g / cm3 3 2.68 g / cm3 3 2.70 g / cm3 3 2.72 g / cm3 3 2.75 g / cm3 3 2.78 g / cm3 3 2.80 g / cm3 3 or a range between any two of the above values.
[0147] When the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material at 30000 N is in the above range, the energy density of the battery monomer can be improved, and the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer can be more closely packed, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the pole piece, thereby reducing the heat generation.
[0148] 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 cm2 of UTM7305 electronic pressure testing machine, and pressed to 3000 kg (equivalent to 30000 N), and kept for 30 s, then released, kept for 10 s, and then recorded and calculated to obtain the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under the action of 30000 N. 2
[0149] In some embodiments, the charge gram capacity of the positive electrode active material at 0.1C rate is 150 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g, which can be selected as 157 mAh / g to 170 mAh / g. Exemplarily, the charge 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.
[0150] When the charge gram capacity of the positive electrode active material at 0.1C rate is in the above range, the energy density of the battery monomer is relatively high.
[0151] 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 coulomb efficiency and the first discharge specific capacity in the national standard GB / T 24533-2019 Appendix G can be used. The half-button type battery is assembled with lithium metal as the negative electrode and the sample electrode piece containing the above-mentioned material as the positive electrode. The half-button type battery is placed in the battery tester or other testing equipment with the same performance under the condition of 23℃±2℃. The button capacity is obtained by 0.1C rate charging and discharging, and then the capacity is divided by the mass of the active material of the electrode piece to obtain the charging gram capacity parameter.
[0152] In some embodiments, the mass percentage 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%. It can be considered that the positive electrode active material of the present application is an olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate system. When the mass percentage 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.
[0153] Optionally, the mass percentage of the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material is 100%.
[0154] In the embodiments of the present application, the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate can be a phosphate particle or a material obtained after coating modification, for example, the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate includes a phosphate particle and a coating layer, the coating layer is coated on the surface of the phosphate particle, and the coating layer contains one or more elements of C, Fe, Ti, Zr, Hf, Ge, and Sn.
[0155] The phosphate particle is coated with a coating layer on the surface, which can improve the electrical conductivity of the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate, reduce the powder resistivity of the material, and be beneficial to the migration rate of lithium ions, improve the rapid charging capacity of the battery, and reduce the heat generation of the battery monomer.
[0156] In some embodiments, the phosphate particle includes a general formula of Li x1 A y1 Me a M b P 1-c X c Y zLi1-x1-y1-a-b-c-d-x2-y2-z Me A x1 Me y1 A a Me b A c M2 d X x2 Y y2 A 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 comprises one or more of Na, K, Mg, Me comprises one or more of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, M comprises 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 comprises one or more of S, Si, Cl, B, C, N, and Y comprises one or more of O, F. The phosphate particles have excellent cycle stability, which is conducive to improving the cycle performance of the battery monomer.
[0157] Exemplarily, the phosphate particles comprise one or more of LiFePO4, LiMnPO4, LiNiPO4, and LiCoPO4. During the charging and discharging process of the battery monomer, active ions such as Li are deintercalated and consumed, and the molar content of Li is different when the battery monomer is discharged to different states. In the enumeration of the positive electrode active materials LiFePO4, LiMnPO4, LiNiPO4, and LiCoPO4, 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.

[0160] The fast ion conductor with 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, strong structural stability, etc. in the process of multiple delithiation and lithium intercalation. Coating the fast ion conductor containing the NASICON structure on the surface of the phosphate particles 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 monomer.

[0541] 2. DC internal resistance (DCR) test of the battery cell
[0542] The method in GB / T 31467 Performance test specification for high power lithium-ion traction battery for HEV can be referred to.
[0543] For example, at room temperature, charge the battery cell to 3.65V at a constant current of 0.33C, stand for 1 min, then charge to 3.65V at a constant current of 0.1C, stand for 30 min, discharge to 2.0V at a constant current of 0.33C, record the discharge capacity A0 at this time, in Ah, then charge 0.5A0 Ah at a constant current of 0.33C, and adjust the SOC to 50%.
[0544] After the battery cell is placed at -20℃ for 2h, discharge at a constant current of 4C for 10s, and record ΔU 放电 , ΔI 放 电 The discharge DCR data of the lithium ion battery is calculated by the following formula, R 放电 = ΔU 放电 / ΔI 放电 ,
[0545] Wherein, ΔU 放电 represents the voltage change within 10s at the beginning of discharge, and ΔI 放电 represents the current value within 10s at the beginning of discharge.
[0546] 3. Cycle number of the battery cell to 80% SOH
[0547] At room temperature, charge the battery cell to the charge cut-off voltage 3.65V at a constant current of 1C, then discharge to 2.0V at a constant current of 1C, which is one charge-discharge cycle, repeat the above charge-discharge cycle steps until the cycle capacity retention rate (i.e. Cn / C0x100%) is 80%, and record the cycle number. The more the cycle number is, the better the cycle performance of the battery cell is.
[0548] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0549] Table 1
[0550] In Table 1,
[0551] The mass content of carbon elements on the surface of the positive active material in Comparative Example 1 is relatively low, so that the conductivity of the positive active material is relatively poor, and the internal resistance of the positive electrode sheet is large.
[0552] The mass content of amorphous carbon on the surface of the graphite particles in Comparative Example 2 is relatively low, so that the conductivity of the graphite particles is relatively poor, and the internal resistance of the negative electrode sheet is large.
[0553] In the case of large internal resistance of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it is not conducive to the rapid charging of the battery cell, and the DCR of the battery cell is high, the battery cell is more prone to heat, so that the electrolyte system is unstable, the organic solvent is easy to volatilize, leading to the internal pressure of the battery cell rising, which is not conducive to the cycle.
[0554] The resistance of the positive electrode sheet in the embodiment of the application is 0.1 Ω to 30 Ω, which can be selected as 0.1 Ω to 25 Ω, and can be selected as 0.1 Ω to 5 Ω. The resistance of the negative electrode sheet is 0.001 Ω to 0.01 Ω, which can be selected as 0.001 Ω to 0.005 Ω, and can be selected as 0.001 Ω to 0.004 Ω. The resistance of the positive electrode sheet and the resistance of the negative electrode sheet are controlled within a reasonable range, so that the DCR of the battery cell is relatively low, the battery cell produces less heat, so that the electrolyte system is relatively stable, the organic solvent is not easy to volatilize, and it is beneficial to improve the cycle performance.
[0555] In Examples 3-1 to 3-4, by adjusting the porosity or thickness of the base film in the separator film, the porosity of the base film is 20% to 70%, which can be selected as 35% to 60%, and the thickness of the base film is 6 μm to 12 μm, which can be selected as 6 μm to 9 μm. In this case, the migration ability of lithium ions in the separator film is strong, which is conducive to rapid charging, and can reduce the internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby reducing heat generation, and is beneficial to improve the cycle performance.
[0556] Comparative Examples 3 and 4
[0557] The battery cell is prepared by a method similar to that of Example 1, and the composition of the organic solvent in the electrolyte is adjusted.
[0558] Examples 4-1 to 4-3
[0559] The battery cell is prepared by a method similar to that of Example 1, and the composition of the organic solvent in the electrolyte is adjusted.
[0560] In Example 4-1,
[0561] The single-side coating weight of the positive film layer is 231 mg / 1540.25 mm 22.72 g / cm3 at 100% SOC 3 ,
[0562] The single-side coating weight of the negative film layer was 110 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 2.72 g / cm3 at 100% SOC 3 ,
[0563] The composition of the organic solvent in the electrolyte was adjusted.
[0564] In Example 4-2,
[0565] The single-side coating weight of the positive film layer was 258 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 2.72 g / cm3 at 100% SOC 3 ,
[0566] The single-side coating weight of the negative film layer was 123 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 1.21 g / cm3 at 100% SOC 3 ,
[0567] The composition of the organic solvent in the electrolyte was adjusted.
[0568] In Example 4-3,
[0569] The single-side coating weight of the positive film layer was 300 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 2.72 g / cm3 at 100% SOC 3 ,
[0570] The single-side coating weight of the negative film layer was 138 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 1.26 g / cm3 at 100% SOC 3 ,
[0571] The composition of the organic solvent in the electrolyte was adjusted.
[0572] The performance test procedure was the same as before, and is not repeated here. The test results are shown in Table 2.
[0573] Table 2
[0574] In Table 2,
[0575] The mass content of ethylene carbonate in the carbonate solvent in Comparative Example 3, Example 4-1 and Example 4-2 was 30%, and the remainder was dimethyl carbonate.
[0576] The conductivity of the electrolyte in Comparative Example 3 is too small, and even if the positive and negative electrode sheet resistances are set within a reasonable range, it is difficult for lithium ions to migrate, the charging capacity of the electrolyte is insufficient, and cycle diving is likely to occur.
[0577] The conductivity of the electrolyte in Comparative Example 4 is too high, and the proportion of low-boiling-point organic solvents is high, which is prone to volatilize during the cycle process, causing the internal pressure of the battery cell to increase and the cycle to deteriorate.
[0578] In Examples 4-1 to 4-3, by setting the positive and negative electrode sheet resistances within a reasonable range, and setting the conductivity of the electrolyte to 13 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm, which can be selected as 15 mS / cm to 20 mS / cm, the migration rate of lithium ions is relatively fast, which is conducive to fast charging, and the electrolyte system is stable, which can improve the cycle performance of the battery cell. Through Examples 4-1 to 4-3, in the case of relatively low conductivity of the electrolyte, further cooperating with the smaller compaction density and / or coating weight of the positive electrode film layer, and / or the smaller compaction density and / or coating weight of the negative electrode film layer, is conducive to fast charging.
