[0038] [Battery cell]
[0039] As described above, improving the cycle performance while increasing the energy density of the battery is one of the focuses in the current battery research field. The present application provides a battery cell, which comprises a shell and an electrode assembly located inside the shell, the electrode assembly comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separator film located 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 graphite, 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 transition metal oxide containing nickel and a lithium-containing phosphate, the molar amount of Ni element in the lithium transition metal oxide containing nickel accounting for 70% to 95% of the total molar amount of transition metals; the lithium-containing phosphate comprising Mn and Fe elements, the ratio of the mass of Ni element in the positive electrode active material to the sum of the mass of Fe element and Mn element in the positive electrode active material being between 0.15 and 2.
[0040] The present application aims to develop a low-cost lithium ion battery cell with high energy density and good cycle performance. Compared with pure lithium transition metal oxide containing nickel, lithium-containing phosphate material has a significant low-cost advantage, and the mixture of the two can fully exert the high specific capacity advantage of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide material under the low-cost advantage, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell. However, the present application unexpectedly found that the content of Ni element, the content of Mn element, and the content of Fe element in the mixture of lithium transition metal oxide containing nickel and lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode active material not only have an impact on the energy density of the battery cell, but also have a significant impact on the cycle performance of the battery cell. The present application expects to obtain a battery cell with high energy density and long cycle life under the system of mixing lithium transition metal oxide containing nickel and lithium-containing phosphate.
[0041] The battery cell includes a nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide and a lithium-containing phosphate positive electrode active material, the molar amount of Ni element in the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide is high (the molar amount of Ni element accounts for 70% to 95% of the total molar amount of transition metal), which belongs to high-nickel lithium transition metal oxide and helps to improve the energy density of the battery cell. However, if too much high-nickel lithium transition metal oxide is added to improve the energy density of the battery cell, the proportion of the lithium-containing phosphate material will be too small, resulting in an imbalance in the content of Ni element, the content of Mn element and the proportion of Fe element in the positive electrode active material, affecting the cycle performance of the battery cell. Therefore, by further controlling the relative proportion of the content of Ni element, the content of Mn element and the content of Fe element, that is, by limiting the ratio of the mass of Ni element in the positive electrode active material to the sum of the mass of Fe element and Mn element in the positive electrode active material to be between 0.15 and 2, the relative content of high-nickel lithium transition metal oxide and lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material is kept within a reasonable range, so that the battery cell has both high energy density and cycle performance.
[0042] Specifically, when the molar amount of Ni element in the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide is within the range of 70% to 95%, and the ratio of the mass of Ni element in the positive electrode active material to the sum of the mass of Fe element and Mn element in the positive electrode active material is less than 0.15, it indicates that the content of lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material is too high, which corresponds to the content of Mn element and Fe element in the positive electrode active material being too high. This makes the Mn element and Fe element easy to be released from the lithium-containing phosphate skeleton and transition metal elution, thereby reducing the cycle performance of the battery cell. Correspondingly, when the molar amount of Ni element in the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide is within the range of 70% to 95%, and the ratio of the mass of Ni element in the positive electrode active material to the sum of the mass of Fe element and Mn element in the positive electrode active material is greater than 2, it indicates that the content of high-nickel lithium transition metal oxide in the positive electrode active material is too high, which corresponds to the content of Ni element in the positive electrode active material being too high. At this time, although the energy density of the battery cell is high, the structural stability of the high-nickel lithium transition metal oxide is poor, the Ni element is easy to be released from the skeleton structure of the high-nickel lithium transition metal oxide, in addition, the surface residual alkali amount of the high-nickel lithium transition metal oxide is also high and is easy to have side reactions with the electrolyte, thereby reducing the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0043] By reasonably controlling the molar amount of Ni element in the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide and the ratio of the mass of Ni element in the positive electrode active material to the sum of the mass of Fe element and Mn element in the positive electrode active material within a reasonable range, the battery cell has low cost, high energy density and good cycle performance.
[0044] In some embodiments, the ratio of the mass of Ni element in the positive electrode active material to the sum of the mass of Fe element and Mn element in the positive electrode active material is between 0.55 and 1.42, such as 0.55, 0.60, 0.62, 0.64, 0.66, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.97, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, or 1.42.
[0045] When the content of Ni element in the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide is high, the ratio of the mass of Ni element in the positive electrode active material to the sum of the mass of Fe and Mn elements allows the content of nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide in the positive electrode active material to be high, and improves the cycle performance of the battery cell when increasing the energy density of the battery cell.
[0046] In some embodiments, the mass content of lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material is 50%-90%, such as 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, or 90%, and optionally 50%-70%. When the mass content of lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material is within the above range, the battery cell has a high energy density.
[0047] In the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide, increasing the content of Ni element can effectively increase the specific capacity of the material system, thereby further increasing the energy density of the battery cell. In addition, the capacity retention rate of the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide is high in a low-temperature environment, and has good low-temperature stability. In some embodiments, the molar content of Ni element in the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide is 80%-95% of the total molar content of Ni, Co, and Mn elements. Increasing the molar percentage of Ni element is beneficial to increasing the energy density of the entire multi-system mixed positive electrode sheet, and controlling the molar percentage of Ni element to be no higher than 95% improves the structural stability of the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide, and also reduces the side reactions with the battery cell, to optimize the cycle performance and safety performance of the battery cell.
[0048] In some embodiments, the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide includes lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide, and the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide contains one or more of Zr, Al, B, Fe, Ca, Sr, Ti, V, or Y elements. The above elements can exist in the form of doping or coating in the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide.
[0049] The energy density of lithium transition metal oxides containing nickel (especially high-nickel ternary material system) is high, but there are defects such as element mixing, phase change, poor thermal stability, micro-cracks, and the cycle stability and service life need to be improved. To improve the comprehensive performance of lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxides, modification methods such as doping, modification, compounding, and morphology control can be used. For example, cation doping, anion doping, and multi-ion co-doping, and for example, Zr, Al, Fe, Ca, Sr, Ti, V, and Y can be used as cation doping elements, and B can be used as anion doping element. In some embodiments, Zr can simultaneously occupy Ni sites and Li sites, reducing the mixing of Ni and Li, improving ion conductivity, and Zr has a strong chemical bond with O, which is conducive to stabilizing the crystal structure of the layered material and plays a supporting role in the process of lithium extraction / insertion. Al is dissolved in the transition metal layer of lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide in the form of a solid solution, which can effectively improve the capacity retention during the cycle process. B as anion doping can relieve the strain of lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide during lithiation / delithiation, improve the cycle stability and service life.
[0050] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide contains one or more of Zr, Al, B, or Fe elements; optionally, in the lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide, the mass content of the elements satisfies at least one of the following: the content of Zr is 1000-3000 ppm, the content of Al is 100-1000 ppm, and the content of B is 50-300 ppm. This is conducive to better balancing the cycle stability and specific capacity.
[0051] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate includes lithium manganese iron phosphate, and the molar amount of Mn element in the lithium manganese iron phosphate is 20%-80% of the total molar amount of non-lithium metal elements, such as 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80%, optionally 30%-70%, and further optionally 30%-50%. When the molar percentage content of Mn element in the non-lithium metal elements of the lithium-containing phosphate is within the above range, the specific capacity of the lithium-containing phosphate can be maintained as high as possible, and the voltage platform of the battery cell can be improved, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell.
[0052] In some embodiments, the lithium manganese iron phosphate contains one or more of Al, B, Ca, Cr, Cu, K, Mg, Na, P, Si, Ti, V, or Zn elements, and the lithium manganese iron phosphate contains one or more of Al, Ca, Na, Ti, or V elements; further optionally, in the lithium manganese iron phosphate, 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 50-300 ppm, the content of Ti is 100-1000 ppm, and the content of V is 1000-3000 ppm.
[0053] Doping one or more of the above elements into the lithium-containing phosphate can improve the conductivity of the material by introducing lattice vacancies or changing atomic bond lengths, which can facilitate Li + migration. For example, Mg doping can improve the conductivity while improving the structural stability; Al doping can improve the material conductivity and help to inhibit phase transition under high voltage or deep discharge; Ca doping can improve the cycle stability; Na doping can promote the ion diffusion rate and improve the specific capacity; Ti doping can provide additional Li + sites, improve the specific capacity, and help to reduce Mn dissolution during cycling; V doping can improve the conductivity and electrochemical activity, and improve the charge and discharge performance.
[0054] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active layer contains lithium iron manganese phosphate and lithium-containing nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide, the positive electrode active material contains one or more of Al, B, Ca, Na, Sr, Ti, V, Y, or Zr, and the mass content of each element 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%; B: 0.01%-0.1%, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material. The energy density of the battery cell with the above characteristics can be maintained at a high level, and the cycle life is longer and more secure.
[0055] The elements in each of the above materials can be determined by the following method:
[0056] For the positive electrode tab of the battery cell, the positive electrode tab is washed with dimethyl carbonate (DMC), and the positive electrode tab is dried and calcined to collect the positive electrode material in the positive electrode active layer. The positive electrode material is tested by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).
[0057] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active layer includes a first active layer and a second active layer, the first active layer is arranged close to the positive electrode current collector, and the second active layer is arranged on the side of the first active layer away from the positive electrode current collector. The mass content of Ni in the first active layer is less than the mass content of Ni in the second active layer, and the mass content of Fe in the first active layer is greater than the mass content of Fe in the second active layer, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active layer. The first active layer is arranged close to the current collector, and the positive electrode active material is mainly lithium-containing phosphate; the second active layer is arranged away from the positive electrode current collector, i.e. in contact with the electrolyte, and the positive electrode active material is mainly lithium transition metal oxide containing nickel. The lithium transition metal oxide containing nickel can block the side reaction of lattice water in the lithium-containing phosphate with the electrolyte, and improve the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0058] In some embodiments, the positive current collector can employ a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, as a metal foil, an aluminum foil can be employed. 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, silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material base material (e.g., a base material of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).
[0059] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer can further optionally include a conductive agent. As an example, the conductive agent can include at least one of super P, acetylene black, carbon black, ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0060] In some embodiments, the positive electrode tab can be prepared by dispersing the above-described components for preparing the positive electrode tab, such as the positive electrode active material, the conductive agent, the binder, and any other components, in a solvent (e.g., N-methylpyrrolidone) to form a positive electrode slurry; coating the positive electrode slurry on the positive electrode current collector; and subjecting the same to a drying, cold-pressing, or the like process to obtain the positive electrode tab.
[0061] [Electrolyte]
[0062] In some embodiments, the battery cell further includes an electrolyte. The electrolyte serves to conduct ions between the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab. The type of the electrolyte is not particularly limited in the present application and can be selected as needed. For example, the electrolyte can be in a liquid state, a gel state, or a full solid state.
[0063] In some embodiments, the battery cell includes a non-aqueous electrolyte, the non-aqueous electrolyte includes a solvent, the solvent includes a cyclic carbonate and a linear carbonate; optionally, the cyclic carbonate includes ethylene carbonate (EC); optionally, the linear carbonate includes one or more of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC); optionally, the mass ratio of the cyclic carbonate and the linear carbonate is 2:8 to 5:5. The cyclic carbonate has a large dielectric constant, which is advantageous for promoting the dissociation of lithium salt, and the linear carbonate has a low viscosity, which is advantageous for Li + ion migration. When the mass ratio of the cyclic carbonate and the linear carbonate is in the range of 2:8 to 5:5, the oxidation resistance of the electrolyte can be significantly improved, which is advantageous for prolonging the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0064] 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.
[0065] 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.
[0066] In some embodiments, the electrolyte solution of the battery cell can have an electrolyte injection coefficient of 1.8-3.5 g / Ah, and can optionally have an electrolyte injection coefficient of 1.9-3.1 g / Ah. In the case of normal operation of the battery cell, a small electrolyte injection coefficient is advantageous in reducing the degree of deterioration of side reactions caused by the electrolyte solution, and improving the cycle life of the battery cell.
[0067] [Negative electrode sheet]
[0068] As an example, the negative electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite in the thickness direction thereof, and the negative electrode active layer is provided on either one or both of the two surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.
[0069] In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector can be a metal foil or a composite current collector. As a metal foil, for example, 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, silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material base layer (e.g., a base layer of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).

[0116] [Battery cell performance test]
[0117] Test method of volume energy density:
[0118] The battery cell is placed at 25°C, and charged at a rate of 0.33C to 4.3V, and then charged at a constant voltage to 0.05C, and the discharge capacity A0 (unit: Ah) of the battery cell is recorded when discharged at a rate of 0.33C from 4.3V to 2.5V, and C is the nominal capacity of the battery cell; the length, width and height of the battery cell are measured 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), and the volume V0 of the battery cell is calculated, unit L; the volume energy density VED of the battery cell is (A0 x discharge platform voltage) / V0, unit Wh / L.
[0119] Test method of cycle performance:
[0120] The battery cells were subjected to charge-discharge cycles at a constant temperature of 25°C, between 2.5V and 4.3V. The specific procedure was as follows: charge at 0.33C to 4.3V, then charge at 4.3V with a constant voltage until the current does not exceed 0.05C, let stand for 5 minutes, and then discharge at 1C to 2.5V.

[0121] Based on Example 1, the following examples adjust the composition of the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide and the mass ratio of nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide to lithium phosphate in the positive electrode active material. The negative electrode sheet, electrolyte, and separator are the same as in Example 1.
[0122] The specific adjustments are shown in Table 1, and the battery cell performance test results for each embodiment are recorded in Table 1.
[0123] Table 1
[0124] In Table 1, data T represents the mass content of lithium phosphate in the positive electrode active material.
[0125] Table 1 illustrates that controlling the ratio of the mass of Ni to the sum of the masses of Fe and Mn (hereinafter referred to as the "Ni:(Fe+Mn) mass ratio") is beneficial for improving energy density and cycle life. If the Ni:(Fe+Mn) mass ratio is too low, as in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it leads to a deterioration in both the energy density and cycle performance of the battery cells. If the Ni:(Fe+Mn) mass ratio is too high, as in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, although it increases the energy density of the battery cells, it significantly reduces the number of cycle times and drastically decreases the cycle life. When the Ni:(Fe+Mn) mass ratio is between 0.15 and 2, the energy density and cycle performance of the battery cells are at a relatively high level in a balanced manner.
[0126] The following investigation examines the effect of changes in the molar ratio of Mn to transition metals in lithium phosphate on the energy density and cycle performance of individual battery cells.
[0127] The nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxides used in Examples 5 to 8 are the same as those in Example 1, and all satisfy the mass ratio of nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide to lithium phosphate is 3:7. The negative electrode sheet, electrolyte and separator are the same as those in Example 1. The variable settings and battery cell performance test results of each example are shown in Table 2.
[0128] Table 2
[0129] Comparative analysis of the data of each example in Table 2 can find that:
[0130] The molar percentage of Mn element in lithium-containing phosphate to transition metal elements has a nonlinear relationship with the performance of the battery cell. When the molar percentage is 30%-50%, the energy density and cycle life of the battery cell have relatively more excellent performance.
[0131] Next, by adjusting the mass content of lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material, the influence of the mass ratio of nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide to lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material on the energy density and cycle performance of the battery cell is investigated.
[0132] In the positive electrode active materials of Examples 9 to 12, the compositions of nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide and lithium-containing phosphate are all the same as those of Example 1, the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide is Li(Ni 0.9 Co 0.05 Mn 0.05 )O2, and the lithium-containing phosphate is Li(Fe 0.5 Mn 0.5 )PO4, only the mass ratio of nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide to lithium-containing phosphate is changed; in addition, the rest of the positive electrode sheet and the settings of the negative electrode sheet, electrolyte, and separator are all the same as those of Example 1.
[0133] The variable settings of each example and the test results of the battery cell performance are shown in Table 3.
[0134] Table 3
[0135] In Table 3, data T represents the mass content of lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material.
[0136] Comparative analysis of the data of each example in Table 3 can find that:
[0137] When the mass content of lithium-containing phosphate is 50%-90%, the battery cell all shows good cycle performance; further, when the mass content of lithium-containing phosphate is 50%-70%, the energy density improvement is greater with the high-nickel lithium transition metal oxide system.
[0138] On the basis of Example 1, the following examples only adjust the molar content of Ni element in Ni, Co, and Mn elements in the nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide, and the other initial conditions remain unchanged. That is, the mass ratio of nickel-containing lithium transition metal oxide to lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode active material of each example is 3:7, and the lithium-containing phosphate is all Li(Fe 0.5 Mn 0.5)PO4, i.e. the molar amount of Mn element in lithium-containing phosphate accounts for 50% of the total molar amount of non-lithium transition metal elements. The negative electrode sheet, electrolyte and separator film are the same as those in Example 1.
[0139] The variable settings and battery cell performance test results of each example are shown in Table 4.
[0140] Table 4
[0141] Comparative analysis of the data of each example in Table 4 can find that:
[0142] The composition and mass content of lithium-containing phosphate in the positive active material are unchanged, and in the lithium transition metal oxide containing nickel, as the molar content of Ni element in Ni, Co and Mn elements increases, the mass ratio of Ni:(Fe+Mn) also increases accordingly, making the value of the energy density of the battery cell show an increasing trend, and the cycle number shows less and less.
[0143] The amount and composition of electrolyte are closely related to its ion transport ability, chemical stability and other properties, which will further affect the cycle life of the battery cell. Therefore, next, by adjusting the electrolyte injection coefficient and different solvent ratios, the role of electrolyte on the cycle life of the battery cell is investigated.
[0144] On the one hand, for the electrolyte of Examples 18 to 23, only the injection coefficient of each is set to different values, and the composition of the electrolyte and the rest of the conditions remain unchanged with Example 1. The settings of the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet and separator film of each example are also the same as those of Example 1.
[0145] The variable settings and battery cell performance test results of each example are shown in Table 5.
[0146] Table 5
[0147] From the data presented in Table 5, it can be seen that: the injection coefficient of the battery cell is too high or too low, which will affect the cycle life. Too high injection coefficient may easily cause electrolyte side reactions, which reduces the cycle performance; too low injection coefficient easily leads to insufficient soaking of the electrode sheet, which also reduces the cycle performance. When the electrolyte injection coefficient is in the range of 1.8g / Ah-3.5g / Ah, especially in the range of 1.9g / Ah-3.1g / Ah, the cycle performance can be kept at a high level.
[0148] On the other hand, for Examples 24 to 27, only the mass ratio of cyclic carbonate to linear carbonate in each electrolyte is adjusted, and the injection coefficient and the rest of the conditions remain unchanged with Example 1. The settings of the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet and separator film of each example are also the same as those of Example 1.
[0149] The variable settings and battery cell performance test cases of each embodiment are shown in Table 6.
[0150] Table 6
[0151] From the data presented in Table 6, it can be seen that in the above embodiments, the mass ratio of different cyclic carbonates to linear carbonates mainly affects the cycle performance of the battery cell. Based on Embodiment 1, whether the mass content of cyclic carbonate is reduced or increased, the cycle number shows a downward trend, which may be due to the fact that cyclic carbonate is beneficial to the dissociation of lithium ions, and its mass content reduction will affect the dissociation degree and conductivity of lithium ions. The viscosity of cyclic carbonate itself is large and its oxidation resistance is weak, and its mass content increase may cause polarization loss of the battery cell, thereby affecting the cycle performance.
[0152] In summary, by matching the lithium transition metal oxide containing nickel and the lithium-containing phosphate, and through the design of the positive electrode active material, the synchronous regulation of energy density and cycle life can be realized, so that the battery cell obtains a relatively balanced energy density and cycle life, the energy density of the battery cell is fully utilized, and compared with the case of using high-nickel lithium transition metal oxide as the positive electrode active material alone, the safety risk is significantly reduced.
[0153] 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 therein can be substituted. In particular, the technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any way as long as there is no structural conflict.
