[0034] In some embodiments, the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is 0.15 to 0.32, and optionally 0.19 to 0.26. When the graphitization degree of the positive electrode active material is in the above range, the conductivity of the positive electrode active material is improved, and the heat generation of the positive electrode plate is reduced, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery cell.

[0036] Therefore, the material with the above mass content of carbon element and the above specific surface area is more conducive to the effective contact between the electrolyte and the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate, and is more conducive to the transmission of lithium ions at the phase interface.
[0037] In some embodiments, the olivine-structured lithium-containing 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 olivine-structured lithium-containing 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 above 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.

[0040] 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 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, thus the heat generation of the battery cell can be reduced, and the energy density of the battery cell can be improved.
[0041] 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, thus improving the conductivity of the positive electrode tab and reducing the heat generation of the battery cell. 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 tab.
[0042] 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.

The carbon coating layer has more end faces and defects, so that the number of sites capable of deintercalating lithium ions is more, and the conductivity of the carbon coating layer is excellent, which can reduce the internal resistance of the negative electrode tab and the heat generation of the battery cell.
[0046] 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 tab can be further reduced, and the heat generation of the battery cell can be reduced.
[0047] 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 disposed 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.

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.
[0049] In some embodiments, the carbon-based material in the first negative electrode film layer further includes natural graphite.
[0050] 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 monomer is improved, and the first negative electrode film layer is relatively sparse in filling, and the pores are more abundant, which can improve the rapid charging performance of the battery monomer.
[0051] 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 volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material in the first negative electrode film layer is in the above range, the rapid charging performance can be improved.
[0054] 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.

[0143] Along the second direction, the distance between the P point and the first tab closest to the P point refers to the distance between the P point and the first edge along the second direction.
[0144] The projection of the closest tab along the first direction partially overlaps the projection of the first current collecting part along the first direction, in other words, the projection of the closest tab along the first direction is located in the projection of the first current collecting part along the first direction, wherein the first direction is parallel to the normal of the projection plane.

[0151] The positive electrode tab 111 can be one or more. In the case where the positive electrode tab 111 is one, the distance between the first point, for example, point A, in the positive electrode current collector 131 and the positive electrode tab 111 closest to the first point along the second direction Z is the distance between the point A in the positive electrode current collector 131 and the positive electrode tab 111 along the second direction Z.

[0156] In the embodiments of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer 132 is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 400 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , which can be 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . When the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer 132 is in the above range, the heat generation per unit area of the positive electrode tab 13 will not be too large, and the energy density of the battery monomer 7 can be improved.
[0157] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the negative electrode tab 14 includes a negative electrode film layer 142, a negative current collector 141, and at least one negative tab 112, the negative electrode film layer 142 is arranged on at least one side of the negative current collector 141 along the thickness direction of the negative electrode tab 14, the negative electrode film layer 142 includes a negative active material, the negative active material includes a carbon-based material, and the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer 142 is 90 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 170 mg / 1540.25 mm 2The negative tab 112 is connected to at least one side of the negative current collector 141 along the first direction Y, and the negative active material is not arranged on the negative tab 112. Along the second direction Z, the distance between the second point in the negative current collector 14100 and the negative tab 112 closest to the second point is less than or equal to 300 mm. The thickness direction of the negative tab 14 is parallel to the thickness direction M of the positive tab 13.
[0158] The negative tab 112 can be one or more, and the second point in the negative current collector 141 is any point in the negative current collector 141, for example, point B.
[0159] When the negative tab 112 is one, the distance between the point B in the negative current collector 141 and the negative tab 112 closest to the point B along the second direction Z refers to the distance between the point B in the negative current collector 141 and the negative tab 112 along the second direction Z.

[0163] When the single-side coating weight of the negative film layer 142 is within the above range, the energy density of the battery cell 7 is higher. In the case of the above high energy density, the electron is introduced or introduced through the negative tab 112. By controlling the distance between any point in the negative current collector 141 and the negative tab 112 closest to the point along the second direction Z to be less than or equal to 300 mm, the transmission path of the electron is shorter, the current between the tabs is smaller, the current distribution is more uniform, the lithium ion is more uniform, and the risk of lithium precipitation can be reduced.
[0164] In the embodiments of the present application, the single-side coating weight of the negative film layer 142 is 90 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 170 mg / 1540.25 mm 2When the single-sided coating weight of the negative electrode film layer 142 is within the above range, the heat generation amount within the unit area of the negative electrode tab 14 will not be too large, and the energy density of the battery monomer 7 can be improved.

[0228] As shown in FIG. 14, the size of the negative current collector 141 along the first direction Y is S2.
[0229] The embodiment of the present application makes the transmission path of electrons shorter by regulating the distance between any point in the negative current collector 141 and the negative tab 112 closest to the point in the first direction Y to be less than or equal to 300 mm, makes the current borne by each tab smaller, makes the current distribution more uniform, makes the lithium ion extraction or intercalation more uniform, and can further reduce the risk of lithium precipitation.
[0230] In some embodiments, the dimension of the end surface of the positive current collector 131 to which the positive tab 111 is connected in the second direction Z is 20 mm to 100 mm, regardless of whether the electrode assembly 10 is a jelly-roll structure or a stacked structure. For example, the dimension of the end surface of the positive current collector 131 to which the positive tab 111 is connected in the second direction Z is 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, 55 mm, 60 mm, 65 mm, 70 mm, 75 mm, 80 mm, 85 mm, 90 mm, 95 mm, 100 mm, or a range defined by any two of the above values.

[0232] [Positive electrode tab]
[0233] The positive electrode tab includes a positive current collector and a positive film layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector and including a positive active material. For example, the positive current collector has two surfaces opposite in the thickness direction thereof, and the positive film layer is disposed on any one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive current collector.
[0234] The charging upper limit voltage and 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 explained: 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,
[0235] 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.
[0236] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer of the battery cell at 100% state of charge SOC is 2.50g / cm 3 to 2.80g / cm 3 , and optionally 2.55g / cm 3 to 2.70g / cm 3 . For example, the compaction density of the positive electrode film layer of the battery cell at 100% state of charge SOC is 2.50g / cm 3 , 2.52g / cm 3 , 2.55g / cm 3 , 2.56g / cm 3 , 2.57g / cm 3 , 2.58g / cm 3 , 2.60g / cm 3 , 2.62g / cm 3 , 2.65g / cm 3 , 2.68g / cm 3 , 2.70g / cm 3 , 2.72g / cm 3 , 2.75g / cm 3 , 2.78g / cm 3 , 2.80g / cm 3 , or a range composed of any two of the above values.
[0237] 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.
[0238] 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, a single-coated positive electrode sheet (if it is a double-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, 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 collecting part 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 collecting part 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 collecting part 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.
[0239] 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 composed of any two of the above values.
[0240] 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.
[0241] 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.
[0242] In some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under 30000N is 2.46 g / cm 3 to 2.8 g / cm3 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 / cm 3 , 2.55g / cm 3 , 2.58g / cm 3 , 2.60g / cm 3 , 2.65g / cm 3 , 2.68g / cm 3 , 2.70g / cm 3 , 2.72g / cm 3 , 2.75g / cm 3 , 2.78g / cm 3 , 2.80g / cm 3 , or a range formed by any two of the above values.
[0243] 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 accumulated, the contact resistance between particles is smaller, which can further reduce the resistance of the pole piece, thereby reducing the heat generation.
[0244] 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 1.327cm 2 of UTM7305 electronic pressure testing machine, pressurized to 3000kg (equivalent to 30000N), keep pressure for 30s, then release pressure, keep for 10s, then record and calculate the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material under the action of 30000N.
[0245] 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.
[0246] 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.
[0247] 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.
[0248] 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.
[0249] Optionally, the mass fraction of the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material is 100%.
[0250] 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.
[0251] 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 cell.
[0252] 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 cell.
[0253] 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.
[0254] 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
[0255] 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.
[0256] 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 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.
[0257] In some embodiments, the coating layer further includes elemental carbon.
[0258] 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.
[0259] Optionally, the carbon coating layer can be coated on the surface of the fast ion conductor layer by a carbonization process of 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 conduction performance of the phosphate particles, and improve the energy density of the battery cell.
[0260] Specifically, the arrangement of the carbon coating layer has the following advantages for the positive electrode active material of the application:
[0261] The carbon coating layer in the positive electrode active material of the application provides a suitable channel for the transmission of electrons, can significantly improve the conduction rate of electrons in the process of multiple delithiation and lithiation, improve the electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate, and improve the charging capacity and energy density of the corresponding battery cell.
[0262] The carbon coating layer of the positive electrode active material of the application is loose and 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 the charging capacity of the battery cell.
[0263] 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.
[0264] The positive electrode active material of the application uses lithium-containing phosphate as a substrate, fully utilizes the advantages of low cost, high reliability, and good cycle stability of lithium-containing phosphate, and solves the disadvantages 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 under the premise of excellent cycle performance.
[0265] 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.

[0267] 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.
[0268] 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.

[0272] For example, the specific surface area of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure is 5m 2 / g, 6m 2 / g, 7m 2 / g, 8m 2 / g, 9m 2 / g, 10m 2 / g, 11m 2 / g, 12m 2 / g, 13m 2 / g, 14m 2 / g, 15m 2 / g, 16m 2 / g, 17m 2 / g, 18m 2 / g, or a range formed by any two of the above values.
[0273] The carbon element mainly exists in the form of a carbon coating layer in the coating layer, the carbon coating layer is loose and porous, which is beneficial to improve the specific surface area of the material, and is more beneficial to the effective contact between the electrolyte and the phosphate particles, and is beneficial to the transmission of lithium ions at the phase interface. In addition, when the mass content of the carbon element is in the above range, the conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure can be significantly improved, which is beneficial to improve the ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of the lithium-containing phosphate with olivine structure, and can improve the rapid charging capacity and energy density of the battery cell.

[0296] In the embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the positive film layer and the positive current collector has the meaning known in the art, and can be detected by using the devices and methods known in the art.

[0305] 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.

[0311] 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 sheet and thus reduce heat generation.

[0317] When the powder compaction density of the negative active material under a pressure of 20,000 N is in the above range, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved, and because 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 heat generation.

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. When the negative active material includes graphite particles, the tap density of the graphite particles in the first negative electrode film layer is less than or equal to the tap density of the graphite particles in the second negative electrode film layer.

In the BOL full charge state, the negative electrode sheet is disassembled, the thickness direction section of the middle region of the negative electrode sheet is observed using a scanning electron microscope, the two regions are distinguished according to the interface between the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer, and the thicknesses of the two regions are measured, for example, the thicknesses of 10 positions of the first negative electrode film layer are measured, the average value is calculated as the average value of the first negative electrode film layer, and the thicknesses of 10 positions of the second negative electrode film layer are measured, the average value is calculated as the average value of the second negative electrode film layer.
[0366] In some embodiments, after the battery cell is subjected to full-charge test at the end of life (EOL), the thickness of the first negative electrode film layer is 15-70 μm, for example, 15 μm, 16 μm, 17 μm, 18 μm, 19 μm, 20 μm, 21 μm, 22 μm, 23 μm, 24 μm, 25 μm, 26 μm, 27 μm, 28 μm, 29 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 40 μm, 43 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, 55 μm, 60 μm, 65 μm, 66 μm, 67 μm, 68 μm, 69 μm, 70 μm, or a range defined by any two of the above values. When the thickness of the first negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer can regulate the gradient pore difference between the upper and lower layers, reduce the tortuosity of lithium ion transmission, and improve the rapid charging capability of the battery cell.

When the thickness of the second negative electrode film layer is within the above range, the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer can regulate the gradient pore difference between the upper and lower layers, reduce the tortuosity of lithium ion transmission, and improve the rapid charging capability of the battery cell.
[0368] In the embodiments of the present application, for example, the upper limit voltage of battery charging is 3.65 V, and the discharge cut-off voltage of the battery is 2.0 V.
[0369] The EOL full charge test procedure is as follows: At 60℃, charge the battery to 3.65V at a charging rate of 0.33C (the nominal capacity), then charge it to 0.05C at a constant voltage of 3.65V, let it stand for 10 minutes, then discharge it to 2.0V at a discharging rate of 0.33C, and let it stand for 10 minutes. One charge and discharge cycle is one cycle. The test is stopped when the battery capacity decays to 80% of the nominal capacity. Then, charge at 25°C with a constant current of 0.33C to 3.65V, and then charge at a constant voltage of 0.05C to 3.65V, which is the EOL full charge state. In the EOL full charge state, disassemble the negative electrode plate and use a tomographic scanning electron microscope to observe the cross-section of the thickness direction of the middle region of the negative electrode plate. Distinguish the two regions according to the interface of the first negative electrode film layer and the second negative electrode film layer, and measure the thickness of each. For example, measure the thickness of the first negative electrode film layer at 10 locations and calculate the average value as the average value of the first negative electrode film layer. Measure the thickness of the second negative electrode film layer at 10 locations and calculate the average value as the average value of the second negative electrode film layer.

The lithium content is calculated based on the mass of the lithium-containing binder. When the lithium content is within the above range, a relatively large number of freely moving lithium ions can be achieved in the negative electrode film, further shortening the distance that lithium ions diffuse to the surface of the negative electrode film, increasing the lithium ion insertion / extraction rate, and improving the fast-charging performance of the battery cell.

[0417] When the porosity of the base film is in the above range in the embodiments of the present application, the migration ability of lithium ions in the separator film can be improved, and the internal resistance of the battery cell can be further reduced, thereby reducing heat generation.
[0418] In the embodiments of the present application, the porosity refers to the percentage of the volume of the pores in the separator film to the total volume of the separator film. The porosity can be tested according to the standard GB / T 36363-2018 “Polyolefin Separator for Battery Cell”.

[0419] In some embodiments, the thickness of the base film is 6 μm to 12 μm, which can be optionally 6 μm to 9 μm.

Optionally, the separator film further comprises a functional layer disposed on at least one side of the base film, and the functional layer can comprise inorganic particles to improve the heat resistance of the separator film.

The molar ratio of each monomer in the copolymer can be any ratio, such as a molar ratio of 35%:30%:15%:20%, or 40%:20%:10%:30%, or 45%:15%:20%:20%, etc.
[0428] The second inorganic particles in the composite particles prevent the non-fluoropolymer particles from being easily bonded due to high-temperature treatment in the granulation process, so that the composite particles have pores, which are beneficial to the transmission of lithium ions, improve the ion conductivity of the separator film, and the second inorganic particles also improve the compression modulus of the composite particles, so that the composite particles are not easily deformed during charging and discharging, making the structure of the separator film more stable, and improving the kinetic performance of the battery cell and the rapid charging performance. Optionally, the second functional layer is arranged close to the negative electrode tab, and because the composite particles are not easily deformed, the separator film does not cause side effects such as extrusion to the negative electrode tab, so that the kinetic performance of the negative electrode tab is stable. Correspondingly, the first functional layer is arranged close to the positive electrode tab.
[0429] Optionally, the second inorganic particles include one or more of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, boehmite, barium sulfate, calcium oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, zirconium oxide, and tin oxide. Optionally, the second inorganic particles include silicon oxide. The above-mentioned second inorganic particles can improve the heat resistance of the second functional layer, and can cooperate with the non-fluoropolymer to form composite particles, further improving the cycle stability and kinetic performance of the separator film, and improving the cycle performance and rapid charging performance of the battery cell.

[0431] In the embodiments of the present application, the average particle size of the second inorganic particles has the meaning known in the art and can be detected by using the devices and methods known in the art. 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.
[0432] In some embodiments, the ion conductivity of the isolation film is 0.3 mS / cm to 0.6 mS / cm.

[0632] The discharge strategy was as follows: discharged to a cut-off voltage, for example 2.0 V, at 0.33C constant current.
[0633] Test results
[0634] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0635] Table 1
[0636] In Table 1, one positive tab was provided on each side of the positive current collector, and one negative tab was provided on each side of the negative current collector.
[0637] The dimension of the positive current collector along the second direction Z in Example 1-1 to Comparative Example 1-3 was 300 mm, and the dimension of the negative current collector along the second direction Z was 305 mm. The distance e between any point, for example point E in FIG. 12, in the positive current collector and the tab along the second direction was less than 300 mm. The distance g between any point, for example point G in FIG. 14, in the negative current collector and the tab along the second direction was less than 300 mm.
[0638] As shown in FIG. 12, the dimension of the positive current collector along the first direction Y was S1. The distance f1 between any point, for example point F, in the positive current collector and the nearest positive tab along the first direction Y was less than or equal to 300 mm.
[0639] For example, in Example 1-1, the distance between any point in the positive current collector and the nearest positive tab along the first direction Y was less than or equal to 450 mm / 2 = 225 mm.
[0640] In Comparative Example 1-1, the distance between any point in the positive current collector and the nearest positive tab along the first direction Y was less than or equal to 780 mm / 2 = 390 mm, which was greater than 300 mm.
[0641] As shown in FIG. 14, the dimension of the negative current collector along the first direction Y was S2. The distance h1 between any point, for example point H, in the negative current collector and the nearest negative tab along the first direction Y was less than or equal to 300 mm.
[0642] For example, in Example 1-1, the distance between any point in the positive current collector and the nearest positive tab along the first direction Y was less than or equal to 450 mm / 2 = 225 mm.
[0643] In Comparative Example 1-4,
[0644] The distance e from any point in the positive current collector, such as point E in FIG. 12, to the nearest positive tab in the second direction Z is greater than 300 mm.
[0645] The distance g from any point in the negative current collector, such as point G in FIG. 14, to the nearest negative tab in the second direction Z is greater than 300 mm.
[0646] In Comparative Example 1-1, the tab distance is large, making the electron transport path longer, the current distribution uneven, and lithium precipitation more likely. In Comparative Example 1-2 and Comparative Example 1-3, although the tab distance is not too long, in Comparative Example 1-2, the single-side coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is relatively small, making the volumetric energy density of the battery cell small, which may not meet the energy density requirement. In Comparative Example 1-3, the single-side coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is relatively large, although the volumetric energy density of the battery cell is high, but due to the large coating weight, the electron movement path is long, and the risk of lithium precipitation is high. In Comparative Example 1-4, in the second direction, the electron transport path is long, the current distribution is uneven, and lithium precipitation is likely to occur.
[0647] In the embodiments of the present application, the single-side coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 400 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , the volumetric energy density of the battery cell is relatively high; and the tab distance is set to make the electron transport path shorter, the current between the tabs smaller, the current distribution more uniform, and the lithium ion extraction or insertion more uniform, thereby reducing the risk of lithium precipitation; thus, the energy density and use reliability of the battery cell 7 can be improved.

[0682] Test Results
[0683] The test results are shown in Table 2.
[0684] Table 2
[0685] The interval between the two adjacent positive electrode tabs refers to the interval in the second direction Z, for example, the interval between the two adjacent positive electrode tabs in FIG. 5. The interval between the two adjacent positive electrode tabs is less than or equal to 600 mm, and the interval from any point in the positive electrode current collector to the positive electrode tab closest to the point in the second direction Y is less than or equal to 300 mm. For example, in Example 2-1, the interval between the two adjacent positive electrode tabs is 150 mm, and the interval from any point in the positive electrode current collector to the positive electrode tab closest to the point in the second direction Y is less than or equal to 150 mm / 2 = 75 mm, for example, a2 is less than or equal to 75 mm, and the interval a1 between the edge A1 of the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode tab is less than or equal to 150 mm.
[0686] The distance between the two adjacent negative tabs refers to the distance in the second direction Z, for example, the distance between the two adjacent negative tabs in FIG. 7, the distance between the two adjacent negative tabs is less than or equal to 600 mm, and the distance from any point in the negative current collecting part to the negative tab closest to the point in the second direction Y is less than or equal to 300 mm. For example, in Example 2-1, the distance between the two adjacent negative tabs is less than 150 mm, and the distance from any point in the negative current collecting part to the negative tab closest to the point in the second direction is less than or equal to 150 mm / 2 = 75 mm, for example, b2 is less than or equal to 75 mm, and the distance b1 between the negative current collecting part edge B1 and the negative tab is less than or equal to 150 mm.
[0687] In Comparative Example 2-1, the distance between the two adjacent positive tabs is 700 mm, and the distance from any point in the positive current collecting part to the positive tab closest to the point in the second direction can be up to 700 mm / 2 = 350 mm, which is greater than 300 mm.

[0689] As can be seen from Table 2, in Comparative Example 2-1, the tab distance is large, which makes the electron transport path longer, the current distribution uneven, and lithium precipitation more likely. Although the tab distance in Comparative Example 2-2 is not too long, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer in Comparative Example 2-2 is relatively small, which makes the volume energy density of the battery cell smaller, and it can not meet the energy density requirement.
[0690] In the examples of the present application, the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 to 400 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , the volume energy density of the battery cell is relatively high; and the distance between the tabs is set so that the electron transport path is shorter, the current between the tabs is smaller, the current distribution is more uniform, and the lithium ion extraction or insertion is more uniform, which can reduce the risk of lithium precipitation; thus, the energy density and use reliability of the battery cell can be improved.
[0691] Although the illustrative embodiments have been demonstrated and described, those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the present application, and the embodiments can be changed, replaced and modified without departing from the spirit, principles and scope of the present application.
