Currently, not only is it necessary to have high energy density to reduce the range anxiety of users, but it is also necessary to have high cycle stability to improve the battery life and safety performance.

[0004] Lithium iron phosphate batteries are widely used in electric vehicles as power batteries due to their low cost. The lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material in the batteries has a significant cost advantage over ternary positive electrode materials. However, the energy density of the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode material is relatively low, and therefore it is necessary to improve the energy density of the battery system while maintaining the low cost advantage.

[0066] [Battery cell]

[0067] As analyzed before, the energy density of lithium iron phosphate battery cell is low, in order to improve the energy density of the battery cell.

[0068] The present application provides a battery cell, comprising an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator film between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, wherein the negative electrode sheet comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active layer arranged on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode active layer comprising a negative electrode active material, the negative electrode active material comprising one or more of a carbon-based material (such as graphite) and a silicon-based material, the positive electrode sheet comprising a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active layer arranged on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode active layer comprising a positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active material comprising a lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material and a lithium-containing manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, in the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material, the Ni element accounts for 50% to 95% of the total molar amount of Ni, Co and Mn elements, and the proportion of the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material in the positive electrode active material is 5%-95%; in the lithium-containing manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, the Mn element accounts for 30%-80% of the total molar amount of Mn and Fe elements, and the discharge voltage platform of the battery cell at room temperature and a rate of 0.1C is 3.29V-4.15V.

[0069] The energy of the battery cell is related to the voltage plateau and the capacity of the battery cell, and the capacity is related to the gram capacity of the positive active material. The present application intends to study how to design the battery cell with mixed positive material to improve the energy of the battery cell and not to deteriorate other battery performances such as cycle performance.

[0070] The positive active material of the battery cell of the present application includes lithium iron manganese phosphate positive material and lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive material. The content of Mn element in the lithium iron manganese phosphate positive material is positively correlated with the voltage plateau of the mixed positive material, but is negatively correlated with the gram capacity of the lithium iron manganese phosphate positive material, and is not conducive to the skeleton stability of the lithium iron manganese phosphate positive material in long-term cycle. The content of Ni element in the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive material is positively correlated with the voltage plateau and the gram capacity of the mixed positive material, but is not conducive to the skeleton stability of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide in long-term cycle.

[0071] Based on the actual needs of customers for low cost, high specific energy and long cycle, the present application finds that by making the content of Ni element in the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive material account for 50% to 95% of the total molar amount of Ni, Co and Mn elements, and the content of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive material in the positive active material accounts for 5%-95%; further by making the content of Mn element in the lithium iron manganese phosphate positive material account for 30%-80% of the total molar amount of Mn element and Fe element, the gram capacity of the mixed positive material is better, and the voltage plateau is kept in a suitable range, so that the battery cell takes into account lower cost, energy density and higher cycle performance.

[0072] At the same time, the lithium iron manganese phosphate positive material has an olivine structure which is more stable than the layered structure of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive material, and has low cost. The cycle stability, safety and power performance of the battery cell with mixed positive material of lithium iron manganese phosphate positive material and lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive material are improved compared with the battery cell with pure lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive material, and the cost is greatly reduced compared with the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive material.

[0073] In some embodiments, the discharge voltage plateau of the battery cell at room temperature and 0.1C rate is 3.67V-3.86V, such as 3.67V, 3.69V, 3.77V or 3.86V. The content of Ni element in the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive material of the positive active material of the battery cell meeting the above discharge voltage plateau is more (further improving the gram capacity of the material) and / or the content of Mn element in the lithium iron manganese phosphate positive material is more (further improving the discharge voltage plateau of the material), so that the energy density of the battery cell can be further improved.

[0074] In some embodiments, in the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material, the molar content of the Ni element relative to the total moles of nickel-cobalt-manganese elements is 80%-95%. The higher the content of the Ni element, the higher the gram capacity of the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material, and the more conducive to improving the energy density of the battery cell.

[0075] In some embodiments, in the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material, the molar content of the Ni element relative to the total moles of nickel-cobalt-manganese elements is 80%-95%. The higher the content of the Ni element, the higher the gram capacity of the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material, and the more conducive to improving the energy density of the battery cell.

[0076] In some embodiments, the mass content of the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material in the positive electrode active material is 50%-95% or 50%-70% based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material. With the above-mentioned content of the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material in the positive electrode active material, the advantages of the gram capacity of the two positive electrode materials can be fully utilized, and the stability and fast charging performance are complementary, so that the energy density and cycle performance of the battery cell are fully improved.

[0077] The elements in the above-mentioned materials can be determined by the following method:

[0078] For the positive electrode sheet of the battery cell, the positive electrode sheet is washed with DMC (dimethyl carbonate) to collect the positive electrode material in the positive electrode active layer after drying and calcining the positive electrode sheet. The positive electrode material is tested by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).

[0079] In some embodiments, the energy density of the battery cell can be further improved by the following method: the area density of the positive electrode active layer is 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 -370 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , optionally 240 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 -340 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 .

[0080] The above-mentioned area density is tested by the following method:

[0081] Take a 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), cut it into a small round piece with an area of S1, weigh it and record it as M1, and measure its thickness H1. Then wipe off the positive electrode active material layer of the above-weighed positive electrode sheet, weigh the positive electrode current collector and record it as M0, and measure its thickness H0. The single-sided coating weight (i.e. the area density) of the positive electrode active material layer = (the weight of the positive electrode sheet M1 - the weight of the positive electrode current collector M0) / S1.

[0082] In some embodiments, if a positive electrode conductive layer is arranged between the positive electrode active layer and the positive electrode current collector, the mass of the positive electrode conductive layer can be ignored when testing the compaction density or the area density of the positive electrode active layer, because the mass of the positive electrode conductive layer is significantly lower than the mass of the positive electrode active layer. The same applies to the negative electrode active layer.

[0083] In some embodiments, the area capacity of the positive electrode tab is 50 mAh / 15 40.25 mm 2 - 350 mAh / 15 40.25 mm 2 , and optionally 80 mAh / 15 40.25 mm 2 - 150 mAh / 15 40.25 mm 2 . The energy density of the battery cell with the above area capacity is further improved.

[0084] The above area capacity is tested by the following method:

[0085] The positive electrode tab is assembled into a button cell, and charged at a rate of 0.1C to 4.2V. After standing for 30 min, the capacity discharged at a rate of 0.1C to 2.5V is recorded as the button cell capacity. The area capacity (unit: mAh / 15 40.25 mm 2 ) of the positive electrode tab = button cell capacity / button cell tab area * 15 40.25.

[0086] The compaction density of the positive electrode active layer affects the stability of the electrolyte infiltration and volume expansion in the positive electrode tab, and also affects the volumetric energy density of the battery cell. Generally, the greater the compaction density, the smaller the pores between the positive electrode active material particles, the worse the electrolyte infiltration, and the smaller the buffer space reserved for the expansion of the positive electrode active material, thus affecting the charging performance and cycle performance of the battery cell, but improving the volumetric energy density of the battery cell. The smaller the compaction density, the larger the pores between the positive electrode active material particles, the better the electrolyte infiltration, and the larger the buffer space reserved for the expansion of the positive electrode active material, thus improving the charging performance and cycle performance of the battery cell, but leading to a decrease in the volumetric energy density of the battery cell. In some embodiments, the compaction density of the corresponding positive electrode active layer in the battery cell at 100% SOC state is 2.45 g / cm 3 - 3.4 g / cm 3 , and optionally 2.5 g / cm 3 - 3.2 g / cm 3 . Thus, the comprehensive performance of improving energy density, charging performance, and cycle performance is achieved.

[0087] The 100% SOC state described above refers to a state in which the battery cell is charged to a voltage of 4.2V at room temperature at a rate of 0.33C, and then charged at a constant voltage until the current is less than 0.05C.

[0088] The test method for the compaction density of the positive electrode active layer can be implemented according to the following method:

[0089] Based on the areal density test described above, the thickness of the positive electrode active layer is obtained as the thickness H1 of the positive electrode sheet minus the thickness H0 of the positive electrode current collector, and the compaction density of the positive electrode active layer is obtained as the single-sided coating weight of the positive electrode active layer divided by the thickness of the single-sided positive electrode active layer.

[0090] In order to more stably improve the compaction density of the positive electrode active layer, in some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the positive electrode active material at 30000N is ≥2.43g / cm 3 , and optionally ≥2.45g / cm 3 , and optionally 2.45g / cm 3 -3.0g / cm 3 .

[0091] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material further contains one or more of Zr, Al, B, Fe, Ca, Sr, Ti, V, or Y elements; optionally, the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material further includes one or more of Zr, Al, B, or Fe elements. The elements in the above modified material can exist in the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide in the form of doping or coating.

[0092] The Al, B, Ti, Y, Zr, Sr, etc. elements in the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide can significantly improve its electrochemical performance, structural stability, and cycle performance. For example:

[0093] Al can form AlO6 octahedron, which has a structure similar to TMO6 octahedron (TM is a transition metal) and does not cause significant lattice distortion. The ionic radius of Al(III) is close to that of TM, so it is easy to be doped into the TM layer of the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide. Al doping helps to improve the chemical stability of the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide, reduces cationic disordering, and improves its cycle performance.

[0094] The doping of B in the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide tends to occur on the surface because B has lower energy on the surface than in the bulk phase. The surface enrichment of B helps to stabilize the surface structure of the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide, reduces surface reconstruction, and thus improves the cycle stability of the material. When co-doped with Al, the competitive doping chemistry of B makes it more inclined to aggregate on the surface, achieving synergistic stabilization of the surface and the bulk.

[0095] Ti can significantly improve the particle strength of lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxides and enhance the cycle performance. After Ti replaces the transition metal element, the strong Ti-O bond formed helps to stabilize the lattice structure and prevent adverse changes in the structure during charging and discharging. In addition, Ti doping can also widen the Li ion insertion / extraction channel and improve the Li ion transmission rate.

[0096] Y helps to improve the cycle stability and rate performance of lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxides. Y has a large ionic radius and can act as a support framework after doping, inhibiting surface structure phase transition and Li / Ni mixing. In addition, Y doping can also widen the Li ion transmission channel and improve the Li ion transmission rate.

[0097] Zr can significantly improve the structural stability and thermal stability of lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxides. Zr-O bond is strong, which can stabilize the lattice structure and prevent the precipitation of free oxygen. Zr doping can also expand the unit cell parameter, which is beneficial to the diffusion of Li ions. In addition, Zr doping can also reduce the irreversible capacity loss of lithium-rich NCM.

[0098] Sr is usually co-doped with other elements such as Zr to form a protective layer or co-doped structure such as SrZrO3. Sr has a large diameter and can act as a support, significantly expanding the lattice unit parameter and O-Li-O layer spacing, thereby improving the diffusion kinetics and rate performance of Li ions. Sr / Zr co-doping can also build a strong crystal framework, improving the structural stability and cycle performance of lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxides.

[0099] Therefore, elements such as Al, B, Ti, Y, Zr, and Sr can improve the electrochemical performance, structural stability, and cycle performance of lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxides to varying degrees. These elements play a role by forming stable chemical bonds, widening the transmission channel, and inhibiting adverse phase changes.

[0100] In order to fully play the role of each element, in some embodiments, the mass content of elements in the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material satisfies one or more of the following characteristics: 1) the content of Zr is 1000-3000 ppm; 2) the content of Al is 100-1000 ppm; 3) the content of B is 20-300 ppm.

[0101] In some embodiments, the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material further contains one or more of Al, B, Ca, Cr, Cu, K, Mg, Na, P, Si, Ti, V or Zn. Optionally, the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material contains one or more of Al, Ca, Na, Ti or V. The elements in the modified material can be present in the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material in the form of doping or coating. The Al element can reduce the resistivity of the material, change the crystal structure, shorten the lithium ion transmission path, and enhance the electrochemical performance. The Ca element can improve the structural stability of the material, improve the cycle life and rate performance of the battery cell. The Na element and the V element can improve the electrical conductivity and cycle stability of the material. The Ti element can change the crystal structure and improve the charge and discharge performance of the material.

[0102] In order to fully exert the effects of the elements, in the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material of some embodiments, the mass content of the elements satisfies at least one of the following: the content of Al is 100-1000 ppm, the content of Ca is 50-300 ppm, the content of Na is 50-600 ppm, the content of Ti is 100-1000 ppm, and the content of V is 1000-3000 ppm.

[0103] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active layer contains one or more of Al, B, Ca, Na, Sr, Ti, V, Y or Zr, and the mass content of each satisfies: Al: 0.005%-0.1%; Ca: 0.0001%-0.02%; Na: 0.005%-0.06%; Ti: 0.005%-0.15%; V: 0.0001%-0.3%; Zr: 0.005%-0.2%; and B: 0.01%-0.1%, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material.

[0104] In order to improve the electrical conductivity and surface stability of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, in some embodiments, the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material includes a carbon-containing coating layer, and the mass content of carbon in the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material is 1%-3%.

[0105] In some embodiments, the specific capacity of the positive electrode active material is improved by size grading of the material particles in the positive electrode active material. In the positive electrode active material, the mass content of Fe in the particles with a particle size less than or equal to Dv10 is M1, the mass content of Fe in the particles with a particle size greater than or equal to Dv90 is M2, and M1 is greater than M2; and / or the mass content of Ni in the particles with a particle size less than or equal to Dv10 is M3, the mass content of Ni in the particles with a particle size greater than or equal to Dv90 is M4, and M3 is less than M4.

[0106] By the above particle size control, the small particle size of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material is matched with the large particle size of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide, the small particle size can be filled in the gap of the large particle size, so that the compaction of the positive electrode active material can be improved; and the matching mode plays a protective role on the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, effectively reducing the crushing probability of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material under the same cold pressure.

[0107] The energy density or cycle performance of the battery cell is improved by the particle form of the positive electrode material. In some embodiments, the particles of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide are spherical or spherical-like polycrystalline particles, and the volume particle size Dv50 of the polycrystalline particles of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide is 1.5 μm-3 μm. The polycrystalline form of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide has a higher gram capacity, so the energy density of the battery cell can be better improved.

[0108] In some embodiments, the particles of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide are single-crystal particles, and the volume particle size Dv50 of the single-crystal particles of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide is 7 μm-12 μm. The single-crystal form of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide has a more stable structure, so the cycle performance of the battery cell can be better improved.

[0109] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the gram capacity of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, the particles of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material are single-crystal particles, and the volume particle size Dv50 of the lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material is 0.1 μm-15 μm, and optionally 0.5 μm-2 μm.

[0110] In order to improve the rate performance of the battery cell, in some embodiments, the positive electrode sheet further comprises a positive electrode conductive layer, and the positive electrode conductive layer is arranged between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode active layer. The positive electrode conductive layer is used to improve the electron transmission rate, thereby improving the rate performance of the battery cell.

[0111] In order to improve the adhesion between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode active layer by using the positive electrode conductive layer, in some embodiments, the positive electrode conductive layer comprises a positive electrode binder and a positive electrode conductive material.

[0112] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is 1 μm-2 μm. Thus, the purpose of improving the conductivity can be fully achieved by using the positive electrode conductive layer, and the thickness of the positive electrode conductive layer is not too large to affect the energy density of the battery cell.

[0113] In some embodiments, the number of the above positive electrode active layers is single layer or multiple layers. If it is a single layer, the above two positive electrode active materials are mixed in the same layer; if it is a multiple layer, the two materials can be arranged in different layers or mixed in different mixing ratios and arranged in different layers.

[0114] The strength of the positive electrode current collector is related to its thickness, generally the greater the thickness, the greater the strength, but the greater the strength, the worse the ductility, and also leads to the battery cell energy density to decline. The positive electrode active material expands during the charge and discharge cycle, so the positive electrode current collector needs to have a certain strength to bind the expansion, while also having a certain ductility to adapt to the area increase of the active layer due to expansion. In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 9-17 μm, which can be selected as 10-13 μm. The positive electrode current collector in this thickness range has less impact on the energy density, and it has good strength and ductility matching ability, thereby effectively reducing the risk of cracking of the current collector caused by the expansion of the battery cell during the charging process.

[0115] In some embodiments, the positive electrode current collector can use a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, as a metal foil, an aluminum foil can be used. The composite current collector can include a polymer material base layer and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material base layer. The composite current collector can be formed by forming a metal material (aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver, and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material base material (such as a base material of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).

[0116] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer can also optionally include a binder. As an example, the binder can include at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and a fluorine-containing acrylic ester resin.

[0117] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer can also optionally include a conductive agent. As an example, the conductive agent can include at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

[0118] In some embodiments, the positive electrode sheet can be prepared by dispersing the above-mentioned components for preparing the positive electrode sheet, such as the positive electrode active material, the conductive agent, the binder, and any other components, in a solvent (such as N-methylpyrrolidone) to form a positive electrode slurry; coating the positive electrode slurry on the positive electrode current collector, and after processes such as drying, cold pressing, etc., the positive electrode sheet can be obtained.

[0119] [Negative electrode sheet]

[0120] In some embodiments, in order to fully exert the capacity of the positive electrode active material, the areal density of the negative electrode active layer is 90 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 -170 mg / 1540.25 mm 2; optionally 110 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 -160 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 .

[0121] When the battery cell is charged, the negative active material expands, resulting in a decrease in the compaction density of the negative active layer. In some embodiments, the compaction density of the negative active layer corresponding to the battery cell in the 100% SOC state is 1.04 g / cm 3 -1.48 g / cm 3 ; optionally 1.23 g / cm 3 -1.38 g / cm 3 The negative electrode sheet with the above compaction density has small expansion deformation and good electrolyte infiltration, thus improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.

[0122] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet further comprises a negative electrode conductive layer, the negative electrode conductive layer is arranged between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode active layer, and the negative electrode conductive layer comprises 0.5 μm-3 μm, or 1 μm-2 μm. The negative electrode conductive layer is used to improve the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet, and further improve the rate performance of the battery cell.

[0123] As with the above considerations for selecting the thickness of the positive electrode current collector, in some embodiments, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is 4 μm-7 μm, and optionally 4 μm-5 μm. The negative electrode current collector with the thickness in the range has little effect on the energy density, and has good strength and ductility matching ability, thereby effectively reducing the risk of cracking of the current collector caused by expansion of the battery cell during charging.

[0124] In some embodiments, the above negative electrode active layer comprises composite graphite particles, the composite graphite particles comprise a body particle and a coating layer, the body particle comprises primary particles or secondary particles, and the body particle comprises artificial graphite; the coating layer is coated on the surface of the body particle, and the coating layer comprises amorphous carbon. The artificial graphite with amorphous carbon coating has a simple structure and high conductivity.

[0125] On the basis of improving the conductivity of the composite graphite particles, the specific capacity of the composite graphite particles is improved as much as possible. In some embodiments, the mass content of amorphous carbon in the coating layer can be selected to be 2% to 5% based on the total mass of the composite graphite particles.

[0126] In some embodiments, the number of layers of the negative electrode active layer is one or more. When the number of layers of the negative electrode active layer is more than one, negative electrode active materials with corresponding characteristics can be arranged in different layers of the negative electrode active layer according to different purposes.

[0127] In some embodiments, the negative active layer includes a first negative active layer and a second negative active layer, the first negative active layer is disposed on one side of the negative current collector, the first negative active layer includes one or more of the composite graphite particles and the natural graphite, and the second negative active layer is disposed on the side of the first negative active layer away from the negative current collector, the second negative active layer includes the composite graphite particles. The first negative active layer is used to improve the energy density of the battery cell, and the second negative active layer is used to improve the charging rate of the battery cell.

[0128] In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative active material in the first negative active layer is 7.5-19.5 μm, and optionally 12.5-18.5 μm. In some embodiments, the volume average particle size Dv50 of the negative active material in the second negative active layer is 7.5-19.5 μm, and optionally 7.5-15.5 μm. The first negative active layer and the second negative active layer each use negative active materials with corresponding particle sizes. When the particle size of the negative active material in the second negative active layer is smaller relative to the particle size of the negative active material in the first negative active layer, the wettability of the negative active layer is better, and the migration path of lithium ions is short, which can improve the kinetic performance of the battery cell.

[0129] In order to maximize the contribution of the second negative active layer to the energy density of the battery cell, in some embodiments, the powder compaction density of the composite graphite particles under a pressure of 20,000 N is 1.5 g / cm 3 -1.85 g / cm 3 , or 1.55 g / cm 3 -1.75 g / cm 3 .

[0130] In some embodiments, the negative current collector can use a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, as a metal foil, a copper foil can be used. The composite current collector can include a polymer material base layer and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material base layer. The composite current collector can be formed by forming a metal material (copper, copper alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver, and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material base layer (such as a base layer of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).

[0131] In some embodiments, the negative film layer can also optionally include a binder. As an example, the binder can be selected from at least one of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), polyacrylic acid (PAA), sodium polyacrylate (PAAS), polyacrylamide (PAM), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS).

[0132] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer further optionally comprises a conductive agent. As an example, the conductive agent can be selected from at least one of super-P, acetylene black, carbon black, ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

[0133] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer further optionally comprises other auxiliary agents, such as thickening agents (e.g., sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na)), and the like.

[0134] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet can be prepared by dispersing the above-mentioned components for preparing the negative electrode sheet, such as the negative electrode active material, the conductive agent, the binder, and any other components, in a solvent (e.g., deionized water) to form a negative electrode slurry; coating the negative electrode slurry on a negative electrode current collector, and after drying, cold pressing, and the like, the negative electrode sheet can be obtained.

[0135] [Separator]

[0136] The type of the separator is not particularly limited in the present application, and any known porous structure separator having good chemical stability and mechanical stability can be selected.

[0137] In some embodiments, the material of the separator can be selected from at least one of glass fiber, non-woven fabric, polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinylidene fluoride. The separator can be a single-layer film or a multi-layer composite film, and is not particularly limited. When the separator is a multi-layer composite film, the materials of the layers can be the same or different, and are not particularly limited.

[0138] In some embodiments, the separator comprises a porous base film and a functional layer provided on at least one side of the porous base film. That is, the separator is a composite film. The corresponding functional layer is selected according to different functional needs, which will not be described herein.

[0139] [Electrolyte]

[0141] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned battery cell further comprises an electrolyte, and the electrolyte comprises an electrolyte salt and a solvent.

[0142] In some embodiments, the electrolyte salt can be selected from at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium perchlorate, lithium hexafluoroarsenate, lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide, lithium bis-trifluoromethanesulfonylimide, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, lithium difluorophosphate, lithium difluorobisoxalate borate, lithium bisoxalate borate, lithium difluorobisoxalate phosphate, and lithium tetrafluorobisoxalate phosphate.

[0143] In some embodiments, the solvent can be selected from at least one of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, methyl ethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, dipropyl carbonate, methyl propyl carbonate, ethyl propyl carbonate, butylene carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, methyl butyrate, ethyl butyrate, 1,4-butyrolactone, butane sulfone, dimethyl sulfone, methyl ethyl sulfone, and diethyl sulfone.

[0144] In some embodiments, the electrolyte solution can further optionally include an additive. As an example, the additive can include a negative electrode film-forming additive, a positive electrode film-forming additive, and can further include an additive capable of improving certain performance of the battery, such as an additive for improving overcharge performance of the battery, an additive for improving high-temperature or low-temperature performance of the battery, etc.

[0145] In some embodiments, the lithium ion conductivity of the electrolyte solution is selected to be 10-20 mS / cm or 12-17 mS / cm.

[0146] In some embodiments, the electrolyte solution includes lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) and lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide (LiFSI). The lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide can improve the lithium ion transfer rate, thereby improving the charging rate of the battery cell; and has high-temperature stability, thus improving the high-temperature cycle performance of the battery cell.

[0147] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide to lithium hexafluorophosphate is (2-5): 10. Thus, on the basis of improving the cycle stability and charging rate of the battery cell using the above-described lithium salt, the excessive increase in the cost of the battery cell is controlled.

[0148] In some embodiments, the battery cell further includes a housing in which the electrode assembly is disposed, the length of the housing is L1, the length of the positive electrode sheet is L2, and L2 / L1 is 80-99%, optionally 88-99%.

[0167] Embodiment 1

[0168] Positive electrode tab

[0179] Sheet test

[0180] The compaction density of the positive active layer / negative active layer:

[0181] The compaction density of the positive active layer / negative active layer refers to the compaction density of the positive active layer / negative active layer after the battery cell is charged to a voltage of 4.2 V at 25 °C and a rate of 0.33 C, and then charged at a constant voltage until the current is less than 0.05 C, wherein the compaction density of the negative active layer is 1.36 g / cm 3 .

[0182] Method for testing the area density and compaction density:

[0183] Take the single-sided coated positive electrode sheet (if it is a double-sided coated electrode sheet, the positive active layer on one side can be wiped off first), cut it into a small round piece with an area of S1, weigh it, and record it as M1. Then wipe off the positive active layer of the above weighed positive electrode sheet, weigh the weight of the positive current collector, and record it as M0. The single-sided coating weight of the positive active layer (i.e. the area density) = (the weight of the positive electrode sheet M1 - the weight of the positive current collector M0) / S1, the thickness of the positive active layer = the thickness of the single-sided positive electrode sheet H1 - the thickness of the positive current collector H0, and the compaction density of the positive active layer = the single-sided coating weight of the positive active layer / the thickness of the single-sided positive active layer.

[0184] The area density and compaction density of the negative electrode sheet are tested in the same way as above.

[0185] Volume energy density test method:

[0186] Place the battery monomer at room temperature, charge it at 0.33C constant current to 4.2V, and then charge it at constant voltage to 0.05C; discharge it at 0.33C constant current to 2.5V, and record the discharge capacity A0 at this time, unit: Ah; measure the length, width and height of the battery monomer using a caliper (generally calculated based on the size of the battery shell, excluding the height of the electrode terminal, and excluding the insulating film outside the shell), calculate the volume V0 of the monomer battery, unit L; the volume energy density VED of the battery monomer = (A0 x discharge platform voltage) / V0, unit Wh / L.

[0187] Cycle life test method:

[0188] Cycle number of battery monomer to 80% SOH:

[0189] At 45°C, charge the battery monomer at 1C constant current to the charge cut-off voltage 4.2V, and then discharge it at 1C constant current to 2.0V, which is one charge-discharge cycle. Repeat the above charge-discharge cycle steps until the cycle capacity retention rate (i.e. Cn / C0 x 100%) is 80% (the discharge capacity at 1C constant current to 2.0V is recorded as C0, and Cn is the discharge capacity of the nth cycle). The more the cycle number, the better the cycle performance of the battery monomer.

[0190] Examples 2 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 adjust the composition of the positive electrode material on the basis of Example 1, and the specific composition is shown in Table 1. In addition, the area density of the positive active layer of Examples 2 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 is the same as that of Example 1. In Table 1, A:B represents the mass ratio of the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide positive electrode material to the manganese iron lithium phosphate positive electrode material.

[0191]

[0192] In Table 1, the chemical formula is LiNi0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 The content of other elements in the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material of O2is as follows: the mass content of Al is 0.062%, the mass content of B is 0.0037%, the mass content of Ti is 0.0003%, the mass content of Y is 0.008%, the mass content of Zr is 0.25%, and the mass content of Sr is 0.0001%; the chemical formula is LiNi 0.95 Co 0.03 Mn 0.02 The content of other elements in the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material of O2is as follows: the mass content of Al is 0.062%, the mass content of B is 0.0037%, the mass content of Ti is 0.0003%, the mass content of Y is 0.008%, the mass content of Zr is 0.25%, and the mass content of Sr is 0.0001%; the chemical formula is LiNi 1 / 3 Co 1 / 3 Mn 1 / 3 The content of other elements in the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material of O2is as follows: the mass content of Al is 0.064%, the mass content of B is 0.041%, the mass content of Ti is 0.0004%, the mass content of Y is 0.008%, the mass content of Zr is 0.26%, and the mass content of Sr is 0.0001%.

[0193] According to the comparison of the examples and the comparative examples in Table 1, it can be seen that, when the content of nickel element in the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material, the content of manganese element in the lithium-containing manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material, and the voltage platform of the battery monomer are within the range set in the present application, not only the high energy density of the battery monomer can be achieved, but also the high cycle stability of the battery monomer can be maintained.

[0194] The effects of the mass ratio of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material and the lithium-containing manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material on the energy density and the cycle performance of the battery monomer were investigated. Examples 7 to 9 were based on Example 5, only the mass ratio of the lithium-containing nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrode material and the lithium-containing manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material (i.e. A:B in Table 2) was adjusted, and the rest remained unchanged. The specific test data are recorded in Table 2.

[0195] Table 2

[0196] According to the data in Table 2, it can be seen that, as the content of the lithium-containing manganese iron phosphate positive electrode material decreases, the voltage platform of the battery monomer is slightly improved, the cycle number is slightly reduced, but the energy density of the battery monomer is obviously improved.

[0197] The following investigates the influence of the surface capacity of the positive active layer on the energy density and cycle performance of the battery cell. On the basis of Example 5, the surface density of the positive active layer is adjusted and other parameters remain unchanged, so as to adjust the surface capacity of the positive active layer, and the test results are recorded in Table 3.

[0198] Table 3

[0199] According to the data in Table 3, it can be seen that when the surface capacity of the positive active layer is increased, appropriately adjusting the surface density of the negative active layer is beneficial to fully exert the surface capacity of the positive active layer, and further improve the energy density of the battery cell; in the trend of increasing the surface capacity of the positive active layer, the cycle performance of the battery cell slightly decreases, but the overall level is high, which shows that the surface capacity has little influence on the cycle performance.

[0200] The following investigates the influence of the compaction of the positive active layer on the energy density and cycle performance of the battery cell. On the basis of Example 5, only the compaction of the positive active layer is adjusted to change the full charge compaction, and the rest of the settings remain unchanged, and the test results are recorded in Table 4.

[0201] Table 4

[0202] According to the comparison of the data in Table 4, it can be seen that as the full charge compaction of the positive active layer increases, the volume energy density of the battery cell increases, but it will cause the cycle performance of the battery cell to slightly decrease.

[0203] Although the present application has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, various modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the application, and equivalent components can be substituted therefor. In particular, the technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any manner as long as there is no structural conflict.
