Specifically, the silicon electrode material will pulverize and peel off from the current collector during the charging and discharging process, causing the active material to lose electrical contact between the active material and the active material, and the active material and the current collector, while continuously forming a new solid electrolyte layer, leading to the deterioration of the battery internal resistance and the reduction of the kinetics.

[0062] Based on the above technical problems, the present application provides a battery monomer, which comprises a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet. The positive electrode sheet comprises a positive active layer, and the positive active layer comprises a positive active material, wherein the positive active material at least comprises a ternary material, and the mass fraction of the ternary material is A based on the total mass of the positive active material in the positive active layer; the negative electrode sheet comprises a negative active layer, and the negative active layer comprises a first negative active material, wherein the capacity of the first negative active material is greater than 375 mAh / g, and the mass fraction of the first negative active material is B based on the total mass of the negative active material in the negative active layer; and the ratio of A to B is in the range of (10-200):1.

[0063] The negative active layer at least selects a high-capacity active material, and specifically selects an active material with a capacity of greater than 375 mAh / g, such as a silicon particle material with a capacity of 4200 mAh / g. The high-capacity silicon-based negative electrode material can improve the capacity of the negative active layer, but the kinetics of silicon itself is poor, and the increase of the silicon content in the negative electrode will easily cause the deterioration of the internal resistance of the battery monomer. In other embodiments, the negative active material comprises one or more of a silicon particle material, a silicon-oxygen material, a silicon-carbon material, and a lithium metal material. That is, the negative active material with a capacity of greater than 375 mAh / g comprises one or more of a silicon particle material with a capacity of 4200 mAh / g, a silicon-oxygen material with a capacity of 2600 mAh / g, a silicon-carbon material with a capacity of 1800 mAh / g, and a lithium metal material with a capacity of 3860 mAh / g. It can also be one or more of a carbon-based negative electrode, a sulfur-containing negative electrode, a metal negative electrode, an alloy negative electrode, and an oxide negative electrode.

[0064] Based on this, in the present embodiment, a ternary material is added to the positive active layer. The kinetics of the ternary material is good, and the use of the ternary material as the positive active material, in combination with the high-capacity negative electrode material, can improve the positive kinetics, alleviate the deterioration of the negative kinetics, and improve the internal resistance of the battery monomer.

[0065] Further, the range of A:B is (10-200):1, which can be 10:1, 15:1, 50:1, 100:1, 120:1, 200:1, or a range formed by any two of the above values, such as (10-15):1, (15-20):1, (50-100):1, (120-200):1, and the like. Through the above setting, the ratio of the ternary material and the first negative active material is optimized, the capacity of the battery monomer is improved, the kinetic performance of the battery monomer is improved, the matching of the positive active material and the negative active material is realized, and the specific embodiment is that the more the high-capacity first negative active material in the negative active material, the content of the high-kinetic-performance ternary material in the positive active material can be correspondingly increased.

[0066] In an embodiment, the range of A:B is (32.5-160):1. For example, it can be 32.5:1, 50:1, 60:1, 80:1, 100:1, 160:1, or a range formed by any two of the above values, such as (32.5-50):1, (32.5-80):1, (80-100):1, (100-160):1, and the like. Through the above setting, the matching effect of the positive active material and the negative active material can be further improved, the kinetic performance of the battery monomer can be improved, and the internal resistance can be reduced.

[0067] In an embodiment, the range of B is 0.1%-5%. For example, it can be 0.1%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 5%, or a range formed by any two of the above values, such as 1%-2%, 2%-5%, and the like. By limiting the proportion of the first negative active material in the negative active material within the above range, the capacity of the negative electrode sheet can be improved, and the problem of poor kinetic performance caused by the high-capacity negative active material can be alleviated.

[0068] Preferably, the range of B is 0.5%-2%. For example, it can be 0.5%, 0.6%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, or a range formed by any two of the above values, such as 0.5%-0.6%, 1%-1.5%, 1.5%-2%, and the like. Through the above setting, the accuracy of the first negative active material addition amount can be improved, the capacity of the negative electrode sheet can be improved, and the problem of poor kinetic performance caused by the high-capacity negative active material can be alleviated.

[0069] In an embodiment, the negative active layer further comprises a carbon-based negative material, such as a graphite material; that is, the negative active layer comprises a mixture of multiple materials, such as a mixture of a silicon material and a graphite material. Alternatively, the negative active layer does not consist entirely of a negative active material with a capacity greater than 375 mAh / g, but can also contain an active material with a relatively low capacity, such as a graphite material (discharge capacity of about 320-380 mAh / g, charge capacity of about 350-400 mAh / g). The carbon-based negative material refers to a negative material with carbon as the main component, including graphite, carbon black, etc., and has a longer cycle life, higher safety, and relatively low price, but has a lower capacity (the theoretical gram capacity of carbon is about 372 mAh / g); the silicon-based negative material refers to a negative material with silicon as the main component, has a high capacity (the theoretical gram capacity of silicon is about 4200 mAh / g), good safety, and abundant reserves, but has low stability and poor kinetics. In the mixed material, the content of the silicon material is controlled to be 0.01%-5.5%. By mixing the carbon-based material and the silicon-based material, the capacity and stability of the negative electrode sheet can be improved. Different negative active materials can be selected according to the selection of the positive active material.

[0070] In an embodiment, A is in the range of 50%-95%. For example, it can be 50%, 55%, 60%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or a range composed of any two of the above values, such as 50%-60%, 55%-80%, 90%-95%, etc. By limiting the proportion of the ternary material in the positive active material to the above range, the kinetics of the positive electrode sheet is improved, the safety of the positive electrode sheet is improved, the energy density is improved, the cost is reduced, and the controllability of the production process is improved.

[0071] Preferably, A is in the range of 65%-80%. For example, it can be 65%, 67%, 72%, 75%, 80%, or a range composed of any two of the above values, such as 65%-67%, 67%-75%, 75%-80%, etc. By the above setting, the accuracy of the amount of ternary material added can be improved, the positive kinetics can be further improved, the deterioration of the negative kinetics can be alleviated, and the internal resistance of the battery cell can be improved.

[0072] In the formula, the positive active material at least includes two types of positive active materials, for convenience, the two types of positive active materials are referred to as the first positive active material and the second positive active material, and the ternary material is referred to as the first positive active material.

[0073] In an embodiment, the second positive active material comprises a polyanion type phosphate compound. The polyanion type phosphate compound type positive active material has a phosphate ion (PO4 3-) is the main structural unit, including lithium iron phosphate LiFePO4, also known as lithium iron phosphate (LFP); lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMAP) and the like. The polyanionic phosphate compound has good thermal stability and structural stability, which helps to improve the safety of the battery; generally shows good cycle life, is relatively stable in charge and discharge cycles, and can maintain a long battery life; the preparation process is relatively simple, and the raw materials are relatively inexpensive. The polyanionic phosphate compound is mixed with the ternary material in a proper ratio, which is conducive to the exertion of the advantages of the two positive electrode active materials, can improve the energy density of the positive electrode active material, improve the safety performance of the positive electrode sheet, and at the same time reduce the material cost.

[0074] In an embodiment, the positive electrode active material of the positive electrode active layer at least includes nickel element and cobalt element, wherein the total amount of nickel element and cobalt element accounts for 23%-35% of the total amount of metal elements in the positive electrode active material of the positive electrode active layer. For example, it can be 23%, 25%, 28%, 31%, 33%, 35%, or a range composed of any two of the above values, such as 23%-28%, 28%-31%, 31%-35%, etc.

[0075] In an embodiment, the positive electrode active layer includes a first ternary material, and the first ternary material at least includes nickel element, wherein the mass fraction of nickel element in the total amount of metal elements is ≥0.7.

[0076] In an embodiment, the positive electrode active layer includes a first ternary material, and the first ternary material at least includes nickel element, wherein the mass fraction of nickel element in the total amount of metal elements is ≥0.7.

[0077] The ternary material type positive electrode active material refers to a compound containing nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and manganese (Mn) (NCM), or a compound containing nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and aluminum (Al), including lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material (NCM) and the like. Due to the combination of the advantages of different metal elements and the relatively high voltage platform, the ternary material type positive electrode active material generally has a high energy density; at the same time, the kinetic performance is better. Each element in the ternary material plays an important role, and at the same time, the characteristics of each element also restrict the battery performance. Taking nickel cobalt manganese ternary material as an example: Ni shows high capacity and low safety; Co shows high cost and high stability, Co can stabilize the layered structure of the material, and can improve the cycle and rate performance of the material; Mn shows high safety and low cost.

[0078] Specifically, the increase of the content of nickel element can improve the capacity, but high-nickel material can reduce the cycle life and stability; manganese is electrochemically inert, and the increase of the content of manganese element can improve the structural stability and safety performance, but too high content is easy to appear spinel form, which can destroy the layered structure of the material and reduce the capacity; cobalt element can not only stabilize the layered structure of the material, but also reduce the cation mixing, which is beneficial to the cycle performance of the battery and the conductivity of the material, but too high content can reduce the reversible lithium intercalation capacity and increase the cost. By designing the ratio of the three elements, different nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary materials with different performances can be obtained. When the first kind of ternary material with high nickel content is selected as the positive active layer, the larger the capacity of the positive active layer is, the better the kinetic performance is, and more content of silicon-based material can be matched on the negative side.

[0079] In an embodiment, the positive active layer comprises the third kind of ternary material, and the third kind of ternary material comprises at least cobalt element, wherein the mass ratio of the cobalt element in the total amount of metal elements is 3%-15%. For example, it can be 3%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 15%, or a range formed by any two of the above values, such as 3%-5%, 3%-8%, 10%-12%, 12%-15%, etc.

[0080] Among them, the kinetics of the ternary material is good, the Co content can affect the NCM kinetics level, and adjusting the Co content in the ternary material can enhance the rate performance of the ternary material and improve the kinetic performance. Therefore, appropriately increasing the proportion of cobalt element can significantly improve the kinetic performance of the positive active material, thereby effectively alleviating the deterioration of the negative kinetics and improving the internal resistance of the battery cell. At the same time, considering the battery capacity and material cost, the proportion of cobalt element should not be too high, which should not exceed 30%.

[0081] In an embodiment, the positive active layer comprises the first kind of polyanion material, and the first kind of polyanion material comprises manganese element, wherein the mass ratio of the manganese element in the total amount of metal elements is 0.05-0.75; optionally, the mass ratio of the manganese element in the total amount of metal elements is 0.15-0.65. For example, it can be 0.05, 0.08, 0.10, 0.13, 0.15, 0.18, 0.20, 0.23, 0.25, 0.28, 0.30, 0.33, 0.35, 0.38, 0.40, 0.43, 0.45, 0.48, 0.50, 0.53, 0.55, 0.58, 0.60, 0.63, 0.65, 0.68, 0.70, 0.73, 0.75, etc.

[0082] The content of Mn in the polyanion material is limited, which can effectively improve the conductivity of the positive active layer. The increase of the content of Mn will reduce the conductivity of the polyanion material to some extent, and will worsen the internal resistance of the positive active layer. Therefore, the mass fraction of manganese in the total amount of metal elements in the first polyanion material is controlled to be 0.05-0.75, so as to improve the internal resistance of the battery cell.

[0083] In an embodiment, the positive active layer comprises a compound Li 1+x Mn 1-y A y P 1-z E z O4, wherein x is any number in the range of -0.100-0.100, y is any number in the range of 0.001-1.000, z is any number in the range of 0.001-0.100, A is one or more elements selected from Zn, Al, Na, K, Mg, Mo, W, Ti, V, Zr, Fe, Ni, Co, Ga, Sn, Sb, Nb and Ge, and E is one or more elements selected from B, Si, N, S, F, Cl and Br.

[0084] Through the above settings, the values of x, y and z satisfy the following conditions: to keep the chemical formula electrically neutral. The element A doped at the manganese site of lithium manganese iron phosphate helps to reduce the lattice change rate of lithium manganese iron phosphate during lithium extraction, improve the structural stability of lithium manganese iron phosphate positive material, greatly reduce the dissolution of manganese and reduce the oxygen activity on the surface of the particles. The element E doped at the phosphorus site helps to change the difficulty of the change of Mn-O bond length, thereby reducing the lithium ion migration barrier, promoting lithium ion migration, and improving the rate performance of the battery cell.

[0085] In an embodiment, A is one or more elements selected from Fe, Ti, V, Ni, Co and Mg; and / or E is one element selected from B, Si, N and S. Through the above settings, the structural stability of the positive active material and the rate performance of the battery cell can be further improved.

[0086] In an embodiment, the positive active material has a core-shell structure, and the functional coating layer of the core-shell structure is one or more layers of pyrophosphate, phosphate, or carbon. With this arrangement, the dissolution of transition metal can be effectively inhibited due to the high migration barrier (>1eV) of transition metal in pyrophosphate. The phosphate has excellent lithium ion conductivity and can reduce the content of surface lithium impurities. The carbon layer can effectively improve the conductivity and desolvation ability of LiMnPO4, and also can play a "barrier" role to further hinder the migration of manganese ions into the electrolyte and reduce the corrosion of the electrolyte to the active material; at the same time, the carbon layer in the mixture can also optimize the conductive network around the ternary material, and improve the mixing uniformity of the phosphate-based positive active material and the ternary material.

[0087] When the first negative active material includes a silicon-based negative active material, the silicon-based negative active material itself has poor conductivity, and the severe volume change that occurs during the charging and discharging cycle of the battery eventually leads to the rapid irreversible degradation of the conductive network in the negative electrode sheet, resulting in capacity loss. Research has found that the active material, conductive agent, current collector, etc. in the negative active layer can be maintained by the binder to maintain effective electrical contact between them and maintain the integrity of the conductive network in the electrode and the stability of the charging and discharging cycle, thereby effectively alleviating the rapid decay of the silicon-based negative capacity and prolonging the cycle life of the battery.

[0088] In an embodiment, the negative active layer further includes a binder, and the mass fraction of the binder based on the total mass of the negative active layer is C; wherein the range of C:B is (0.17-2):1. For example, it can be (0.17:1), (0.2:1), (0.5:1), (1:1), (2:1), etc., or a range composed of any two of the above values, which can be (0.17-0.2):1, (0.17-0.5):1, (0.2-0.5):1, (1-2):1, etc.

[0089] The content of the binder increases with the content of the silicon-based negative active material, which promotes the adhesion between the silicon materials, is conducive to improving the electrical contact of the negative electrode sheet, maintaining the integrity of the conductive network in the negative electrode sheet and the stability of the charging and discharging cycle, and thus improving the internal resistance of the battery monomer.

[0090] In an embodiment, the range of C is 1%-3%. For example, it can be 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.8%, 3%, etc., or a range composed of any two of the above values, which can be 1%-1.2%, 1.2%-1.5%, 2%-2.8%, 2.8%-3%, etc. The content of the binder is within the above range, which further improves the matching degree of the content of the binder and the first negative active material, can form a good conductive network, promote more effective conduction of electrons, and thus improve the electrical conductivity of the electrode and reduce the internal resistance of the battery monomer.
