[0065] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a secondary battery cell including an electrode assembly.

The secondary battery cell further includes an outer package configured to enclose the electrode assembly.

The battery cell assembly can include a plurality of secondary battery cells connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed connection through a busbar.

[0067] In some embodiments, the battery cell assembly is generally formed by arranging a plurality of secondary battery cells.

[0068] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module formed by arranging and fixing a plurality of secondary battery cells into a single independent module. As an example, the battery module can be formed by bundling a plurality of secondary battery cells with a cable tie.

[0069] In some embodiments, the battery apparatus can be a battery pack including a case and one or more battery cell assemblies received in the case.

[0076] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an electric device as an example. The electric device is a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, etc.

[0077] In the context of the present disclosure, the "organic particles" in the coating of the separator mainly play a role in improving heat resistance, and have little adhesion.

[0078] The separator is an important component for supporting the secondary battery cell to complete the electrochemical process of charging and discharging. Commonly used separators are mostly polyolefin materials, but such materials have a low glass transition temperature and will have a serious thermal shrinkage phenomenon after being heated. In order to improve the heat resistance of the separator, boehmite or alumina is commonly used as a heat-resistant filler and a binder to form a coating. Boehmite and alumina have a large density, and the mass of boehmite and alumina is greater than that of other materials under the same packing volume, thereby affecting the energy density of the secondary battery cell.

[0079] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a separator, which can enable the secondary battery cell using the same to have good capacity performance under high pressure.

[0080] The separator provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes a porous base film and a coating on at least one side of the porous base film, and the coating includes organic particles and a binder. The cyclic voltammetry curve of the organic particles in the first cycle has no oxidation peak in the voltage range of 2.50V to 4.40V.

[0081] The porous base film and the coating both have a pore structure, so that the separator has good air permeability and facilitates the passage of ions. The organic particles in the coating are connected to each other and fixed by the binder, and the gap between the organic particles can form a pore structure.

[0082] The organic particles have a small density, and the secondary battery cell using the same can have a higher mass energy density. The energy density of the secondary battery cell can be improved by replacing boehmite and alumina with the organic particles having a smaller density, but the electrochemical stability of the conventional organic particles is generally poor. The cyclic voltammogram of the organic particles of the separator of the present disclosure for the first cycle has no oxidation peak in the voltage range of 2.50V to 4.40V, which indicates that the organic particles are stable in the voltage range of 2.50V to 4.40V. Therefore, the organic particles of the present disclosure have good electrochemical stability, can be applied to high-voltage secondary battery cells, improve the operating voltage and energy density of the secondary battery cell, and also enable the secondary battery cell to have good capacity release characteristics at high voltage.

[0083] In some embodiments, the cyclic voltammogram of the organic particles for the first cycle has no oxidation peak in the voltage range of 2.50V to 4.45V.

[0084] In some embodiments, the cyclic voltammogram of the organic particles for the first cycle has no oxidation peak in the voltage range of 2.50V to 4.50V.

[0085] The oxidation peak potential of the cyclic voltammogram of the organic particles can be tested as follows: the organic particles, the binder polyacrylate, and the conductive agent conductive carbon black are dissolved in water in a solid content mass ratio of 64:7:29 to prepare a slurry, the slurry is coated on an aluminum foil as a positive electrode, a lithium foil is used as a negative electrode, and a coin cell is assembled; the coin cell is subjected to cyclic voltammetry (CV) test, the scan rate is 0.10mV / s, the voltage range is 2.50V-5.00V, and the cycle is 3 cycles, and the voltage corresponding to the peak point of the cyclic voltammogram for the first cycle is taken as the oxidation peak potential. The electrolyte salt of the electrolyte used for testing is LiPF6, and the concentration is 1mol / L. The solvent of the electrolyte is obtained by mixing ethylene carbonate (EC) and methyl ethyl carbonate (EMC) in a volume ratio of 3:7.

[0086] In some embodiments, the true density of the organic particles can be 1.0g / cm 3 -2.0g / cm 3 . Alternatively, the true density of the organic particles can be 1.0g / cm 3 -1.8g / cm 3 .

[0087] At present, the true density of inorganic particles such as boehmite and alumina is generally 2.5g / cm 3 -3.5g / cm 3 . The true density of the organic particles of the present disclosure is small, so that the secondary battery cell using the separator of the present disclosure can have a higher mass energy density.

[0088] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the organic particles is less than 1 μm, optionally 50 nm-840 nm, 88 nm-840 nm.

[0089] The organic particles of the present disclosure are neither soluble in water nor in organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), dichloromethane (DCM), dimethylformamide (DMF), trichlorobenzene (TCB), chloroform at 25°C, i.e. insoluble in the mobile phase tested by gel permeation chromatography, nor can the molecular weight of the organic particles be tested by gel permeation chromatography.

[0090] The organic particles of the present disclosure are at least one of a thermosetting resin polymer or a crosslinked polymer.

[0091] The thermosetting resin polymer refers to a polymer product that hardens irreversibly upon curing, and once cured, does not soften or melt upon heating.

[0092] The crosslinked polymer refers to a polymer product obtained when crosslinking bonds are formed between monomer units.

[0093] The organic particles of the present disclosure are amorphous polymers.

[0094] In some embodiments, the organic particles have no melting point.

[0095] The organic particles of the present disclosure have no melting point, indicating that the organic particles have good heat resistance and thermal stability, and thus can better resist thermal shrinkage of the porous base film, improve the heat resistance of the isolation film, and improve the reliability of the secondary battery cell.

[0096] The melting point can be tested according to the following method: take an appropriate amount of sample (e.g. 5 mg-15 mg) and place it in a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) crucible, shake it flat, and cover it with a crucible cover; parameter settings: nitrogen atmosphere, purge gas 60 mL / min, protective gas 20 mL / min; program settings: increase the temperature from 25°C to 200°C at a rate of 10°C / min, hold for 5 min to eliminate thermal history, then decrease the temperature from 200°C to -40°C at a rate of 10°C / min, and then increase the temperature to 300°C at a rate of 10°C / min. Whether the organic particles have a melting point below 300°C is determined by the DSC curve.

[0097] The organic particles having no melting point means that the DSC curve of the organic particles has no melting peak.

[0098] In some embodiments, the organic particles can include one or more of a phenolic resin-based organic particle, a polymer particle containing a triazine ring structure unit, a crosslinked styrene-based organic particle, and a silicon-containing organic resin particle.

[0099] [Phenolic resin-based organic particles]

[0100] In some embodiments, the phenolic resin-based organic particles are thermosetting resin polymers.

[0101] In some embodiments, the phenolic resin-based organic particles are thermosetting resol polymers.

[0102] The raw material of the phenolic resin-based organic particles can include phenolic compounds and aldehyde compounds. In some embodiments, the phenolic compounds can include one or more of phenol, hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol, cresol, and cardanol. In some embodiments, the aldehyde compounds can include one or more of formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, glyoxal, and furfural.

[0103] In some embodiments, the phenolic resin-based organic particles have no glass transition temperature below 300°C.

[0104] The phenolic resin-based organic particles have no glass transition temperature below 300°C, indicating that the organic particles have good heat resistance and thermal stability, thereby better resisting the thermal shrinkage of the porous base film, improving the heat resistance of the separator film, and improving the reliability of the secondary battery cell.

[0105] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the phenolic resin-based organic particles can be 200 nm-840 nm.

[0106] The volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the polymer particles of the phenolic resin-based organic particles is within the above range, which is conducive to the separator film having good heat resistance and air permeability.

[0107] Resol-based materials generally have poor electrochemical stability and cannot meet the electrochemical stability requirements of the separator film. Based on this, the present disclosure provides a phenolic resin-based organic particle, which has no oxidation peak in the cyclic voltammetry curve of the first cycle in the voltage range of 2.50V to 4.40V. The present disclosure also provides a method for preparing the phenolic resin-based organic particle.

[0108] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the phenolic resin-based organic particle includes the following steps: providing a resol-based material; curing the resol-based material at a first temperature in an oxygen-containing atmosphere for a first time, then curing the resol-based material at a second temperature in an oxygen-containing atmosphere for a second time, and then crushing to obtain the phenolic resin-based organic particle. The first temperature is 100°C-170°C, and the second temperature is 220°C-290°C.

[0109] The phenolic resin organic particles with high electrochemical stability are obtained by segmental curing of the resol phenolic resin material. First, the resol phenolic resin material is cured at 100-170°C. In this process, the resol phenolic resin material gradually cures, and small molecular groups and easily oxidizable groups in the resol phenolic resin material begin to eliminate. Then, the resol phenolic resin material is cured again at 220-290°C. In this process, the resol phenolic resin material continues to undergo crosslinking and curing reactions, and is more fully cured.

[0122] In some embodiments, the second time can be 2-6h, for example, 2h, 2.2h, 2.4h, 2.6h, 2.8h, 3h, 3.2h, 3.4h, 3.6h, 3.8h, 4h, 4.2h, 4.4h, 4.6h, 4.8h, 5h, 5.2h, 5.4h, 5.6h, 5.8h, 6h, or a range consisting of any of the above values.
