[0120] In some embodiments, since the first lithium-containing olivine phosphate and the second lithium-containing olivine phosphate have been sufficiently mixed and uniformly coated on the current collector to form the positive electrode film layer when preparing the slurry, the cross section of the positive electrode sheet along the thickness direction can represent the particle size and distribution of the lithium-containing olivine phosphate in the entire positive electrode sheet. When selecting the cross section, the middle and relatively flat cross section of the positive electrode sheet is preferred, so that the distribution of the lithium-containing olivine phosphate can be more clearly observed.

[0121] In some embodiments, the "longest diameter" refers to cutting the positive electrode sheet comprising the lithium-containing olivine phosphate particles along the thickness direction of the positive electrode sheet to expose the longitudinal section of the positive electrode film layer; and determining the longest diameter of the lithium-containing olivine phosphate particles by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) test on the longitudinal section of the positive electrode film layer.

[0122] Specifically, the maximum value of the distance between any two points on the outer peripheral edge line of the lithium-containing olivine phosphate particle is the "longest diameter" of the particle. In some embodiments, as shown in the longitudinal section of the positive electrode sheet along the thickness direction in FIG. 4, the longest diameter of the single particle satisfying the first lithium-containing olivine phosphate particle (0.05 μm to 0.3 μm) is shown, and the shortest diameter of the single particle satisfying the second lithium-containing olivine phosphate particle (1 μm to 3 μm) is also shown.

[0123] It should be noted that the first lithium-containing phosphate particle material with a smaller size of a longest diameter of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm is one of the positive electrode active materials of the battery cell of the present application, and the particle size range of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm is a characteristic parameter of the material itself.

[0124] The second lithium-containing phosphate particle material with a larger size of a longest diameter of 1 μm to 3 μm is one of the positive electrode active materials of the battery cell of the present application, and the particle size range of 1 μm to 3 μm is a characteristic parameter of the material itself.

[0125] The two size ranges of the lithium-containing phosphate particle materials described above can be mixed according to actual needs by those skilled in the art.

[0126] The present application improves the fast charging capability of the battery cell by using a small particle size negative electrode active material, which is beneficial to improve the transmission path of lithium ions in the negative electrode active material during charging. However, when the fast charging capability of the battery cell is improved, the corresponding charging current it can withstand is also improved. At this time, if the positive electrode active material is not reasonably arranged, it will cause the internal heat of the battery cell to gather during fast charging, the internal temperature of the battery will rise, and adverse reactions such as electrolyte gas production and increase of the solid electrolyte interface film impedance of the negative electrode will occur, thereby increasing the internal resistance of the battery and affecting the cycle performance of the battery cell. The present application reasonably selects different sizes of lithium-containing phosphates as positive electrode active materials, effectively reduces the heat gathering in the battery cell by mixing large and small particles, reduces the internal temperature rise of the battery cell, and inhibits the growth of the direct current resistance of the battery cell. At the same time, the energy density of the battery cell is also improved.

[0144] In some embodiments, in the cross section of the positive electrode film layer along the thickness direction, the olivine-structured lithium-containing phosphate contains second lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 1 μm to 3 μm, such as 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, or other values not listed in the range of 1 μm to 3 μm.

[0145] In the battery cell provided in the present application, when the positive electrode active material contains lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05 μm to 0.3 μm, the direct current internal resistance of the battery cell can be further improved, thereby further reducing the heat generation of the battery, and the battery has excellent safety performance.

[0146] The battery cell provided in the present application contains first lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05-0.3 μm and second lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 1-3 μm as the positive electrode active material. The size grading of the particles can effectively improve the compaction density of the electrode sheet, and thus the battery cell has a high energy density.

[0147] In some embodiments, in a cross section of the positive electrode film layer along the thickness direction, the number of the first lithium-containing phosphate particles is greater than the number of the second lithium-containing phosphate particles.

[0148] When the number of the first lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05-0.3 μm is greater than the number of the second lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 1-3 μm as the positive electrode active material, the direct current internal resistance and the fast charging performance of the battery can be further improved.

[0153] As used herein, the "areal density" of a positive electrode film layer or a negative electrode film layer has the meaning known in the art and can be tested using methods known in the art. For example, a single-side coated and cold-pressed negative electrode sheet (if a double-side coated negative electrode sheet, the negative electrode film layer of one side can be wiped off first) is punched into a small round piece with an area of S1, weighed, and recorded as M1. Then the negative electrode film layer of the weighed negative electrode sheet is wiped off, the weight of the negative electrode current collector is weighed and recorded as M0, and the areal density of the negative electrode film layer = (weight of the negative electrode sheet M1 - weight of the negative electrode current collector M0) / S1. To ensure the accuracy of the test results, multiple groups (e.g., 10 groups) of samples to be tested can be tested, and the average value is calculated as the test result.

[0154] The battery cell provided in the present application can further improve the energy density of the battery and avoid the influence of thick coating on the electrochemical performance when the coating areal density of the positive electrode film layer is within the above range, thereby further improving the fast-charging performance of the battery.

As an example, the polymer material base layer can include at least one of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE).

[0156] In some embodiments, the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 10 μm to 15 μm, such as 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or other unlisted values within the range of 10 μm to 15 μm.

[0157] In some embodiments, the ratio of the single-side thickness of the positive electrode film layer to the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 5 to 12, such as 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or other unlisted values within the range of 5 to 12.

[0158] In some embodiments, the ratio of the single-side thickness of the positive electrode film layer to the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 6 to 10.

[0159] In the battery provided by the present application, when the ratio of the single-side thickness of the positive electrode film layer to the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is within the above range, the thickness of the current collector is within a suitable range, so that the problem of the positive electrode sheet cracking caused by poor flow capacity and low tensile strength due to excessive thickness or too thin thickness is avoided, and the energy density and fast charging performance of the battery are further improved.

[0164] In some embodiments, the positive current collector comprises a positive current collecting portion and at least two positive tabs disposed on the same side of the positive current collecting portion, the positive tabs extending from the positive current collecting portion along a first direction, wherein the distance between the center lines of two adjacent positive tabs is 10 mm to 350 mm, the center lines being parallel to the first direction, for example, 10 mm, 20 mm, 40 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, 120 mm, 140 mm, 160 mm, 180 mm, 200 mm, 220 mm, 240 mm, 260 mm, 280 mm, 300 mm, 320 mm, 340 mm, 350 mm, or other values not listed in the range of 10 mm to 350 mm.

[0165] In some embodiments, the distance between the center lines of two adjacent positive tabs is 20 mm to 330 mm, for example, 20 mm, 40 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, 120 mm, 140 mm, 160 mm, 180 mm, 200 mm, 220 mm, 240 mm, 260 mm, 280 mm, 300 mm, 320 mm, 330 mm, or other values not listed in the range of 20 mm to 330 mm.

[0166] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the center line L refers to the axis of symmetry passing through the midpoint of the tab 11b along the length direction of the current collector 11, and the center line L is parallel to the first direction F1. In some embodiments, the size of each tab 11b along the length direction of the current collector 11 is equal.

[0167] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the distance between the center lines L of two adjacent tabs 11b comprises S1 or S2, wherein S1 and S2 can be equal (in which case the adjacent tabs are equally spaced), or S1 and S2 can not be equal (in which case the adjacent tabs are not equally spaced).

[0168] The battery cell provided in the present application can further improve the overcurrent capacity and the direct current resistance of the battery cell when the positive and negative current collectors comprise at least two tabs with the above structural characteristics, thereby further reducing the heat generation of the battery and improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0169] In some embodiments, the positive electrode tab can be prepared by dispersing the above-mentioned 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 (for example, N-methyl pyrrolidone) to form a positive electrode slurry; coating the positive electrode slurry on the positive current collector, and after drying, cold pressing, and other processes, the positive electrode tab can be obtained.

[0170] In some embodiments, the compacted density of the positive electrode tab is 2.3 g / cm 3 to 2.6 g / cm 3 , for example 2.30 g / cm 3 , 2.35 g / cm 3 , 2.40 g / cm 3 , 2.45 g / cm 3 , 2.50 g / cm 3 , 2.55 g / cm 3 , 2.60 g / cm 3 , or other unlisted values within the range of 2.3 g / cm 3 to 2.6 g / cm 3 .

[0171] In some embodiments, the compacted density of the positive electrode tab is 2.4 g / cm 3 to 2.55 g / cm 3 .

[0172] When the compacted density of the positive electrode tab is within the above range, the energy density of the battery can be further improved while ensuring the kinetic performance.

[0173] In some embodiments, the compacted density of the positive electrode tab corresponds to the compacted density of the positive electrode film layer of a battery cell in a 0% SOC state, wherein the battery cell in the 0% SOC state is discharged at 1 / 3C to 2.0V, and then discharged at 0.05C to 2.0V.

[0174] [Negative electrode tab]

[0175] In some embodiments, the negative electrode tab includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer disposed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector. As an example, the negative electrode current collector has two opposite surfaces in the thickness direction of itself, and the negative electrode film layer is disposed on either one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.

[0176] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material.

[0177] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is 8 pm to 15 pm, for example 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm, 11 pm, 12 pm, 13 pm, 14 pm, 15 pm, or other unlisted values within the range of 8 pm to 15 pm. In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material includes graphite.

[0178] In the battery monomer provided in the present application, when the particle size of the negative electrode active material (for example, graphite) is in the above range, the specific surface area is large, the migration channel of lithium ions between the graphite layers is increased, the migration path is shortened, thereby accelerating the embedding and stripping speed of lithium ions between the graphite layers, so that the battery monomer has good fast charging performance; at the same time, when the particle size of the negative electrode active material (for example, graphite) is in the above range, the direct current internal resistance of the battery monomer can also be improved, thereby reducing the heat generation of the battery, so that the battery has good safety performance.

[0179] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the negative electrode active material is 9.5 μm to 11.5 μm, for example, 9.5 μm, 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, or other unlisted values within the range of 9.5 μm to 11.5 μm.

[0180] When the particle size of the negative electrode active material (for example, graphite) is in the above range, the fast charging performance and the direct current internal resistance of the battery can be further improved, and at the same time, the battery has good cycle performance.

[0181] In some embodiments, the specific surface area of the negative electrode active material is 3 m 2 / g to 8 m 2 / g, for example, 3 m 2 / g, 4 m 2 / g, 5 m 2 / g, 6 m 2 / g, 7 m 2 / g, 8 m 2 / g, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 3 m 2 / g to 8 m 2 / g.

[0182] In some embodiments, the specific surface area of the negative electrode active material is 4 m 2 / g to 6 m 2 / g, for example, 4 m 2 / g, 4.5 m 2 / g, 5 m 2 / g, 5.5 m 2 / g, 6 m 2 / g, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 4 m 2 / g to 6 m 2 / g.

[0183] As used herein, "specific surface area" refers to the total area possessed by a unit mass of material. The determination method can refer to GB / T 19587-2017, and is tested by a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area analysis test, and is calculated by a BET (Brunauer Emmett Teller) method. The nitrogen adsorption specific surface area analysis test can be performed by a Tri-Star 3020 specific surface area pore size analyzer of the United States Micromeritics company.

[0184] When the negative active material (for example, graphite) has a specific surface area in the above range, the speed of lithium ion intercalation and deintercalation between graphite layers can be further accelerated, thereby further improving the fast charging performance of the battery.

[0185] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes at least two negative active material layers. In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer includes a first negative active material layer disposed on the surface of the negative electrode current collector and a second negative active material layer disposed on the side of the first negative active material layer away from the negative electrode current collector, the negative active material in the first negative active material layer includes a first artificial graphite, and the negative active material in the second negative active material layer includes a second artificial graphite. The average particle size Dv50 of the first artificial graphite is greater than the average particle size Dv50 of the second artificial graphite. The particle size of the artificial graphite in the upper negative electrode film layer (the second negative active material layer) is small. The upper graphite is in direct contact with the electrolyte and can respond more quickly to the intercalation of lithium ions than the lower graphite. Therefore, the upper graphite has a small particle size, which helps lithium ions to intercalate more quickly and improves the fast charging capacity of the battery. At the same time, the use of larger artificial graphite particles in the lower layer can reduce the probability of crushing the graphite material and improve the compaction density of the electrode sheet.

[0186] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the first artificial graphite is 11 μm to 15 μm, for example, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or other unlisted values within the range of 11 μm to 15 μm.

[0187] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the second artificial graphite is 8 μm to 15 μm, for example, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm, 15 μm, or other unlisted values within the range of 8 μm to 15 μm.

[0188] In some embodiments, the average particle size Dv50 of the second artificial graphite is 9.5 μm to 11.5 μm, for example, 9.5 μm, 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, or other unlisted values within the range of 9.5 μm to 11.5 μm.

[0189] The battery cell provided by the present application can further improve the kinetic performance of the battery when the double-layer coating scheme is used in the negative electrode film layer.

[0190] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer can optionally further comprise a binder. 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).

[0191] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer can optionally further comprise a conductive agent. The conductive agent can be selected from at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.

[0192] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer can optionally further comprise other auxiliary agents, such as thickening agents (e.g., sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na)) and the like.

[0193] In some embodiments, the areal density of the negative electrode film layer on one side is 0.15 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 to 0.19 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 , for example, 0.15 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 , 0.16 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 , 0.17 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 , 0.18 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 , 0.19 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 , or other unlisted values within the range of 0.15 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 to 0.19 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 .

[0194] In some embodiments, the areal density of the negative electrode film layer on one side is 0.15 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 to 0.165 g / 15 40.25 mm 2 .

[0195] The battery cell provided by the present application can further improve the energy density of the battery when the coating areal density of the negative electrode film layer is within the above range, and can also avoid the influence of thick coating on the electrochemical performance, thereby further improving the fast-charging performance of the battery.

[0196] In some embodiments, the negative current collector can employ a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, as a metal foil, a copper 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 (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.).

[0197] In some embodiments, the thickness of the negative current collector is 4 μm to 6 μm, for example, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, 5.5 μm, 6 μm, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 4 μm to 6 μm.

[0198] In some embodiments, the ratio of the single-side thickness of the negative film layer to the thickness of the negative current collector is 12 to 20, for example, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, etc., or other unlisted values within the range of 12 to 20.

[0199] In some embodiments, the ratio of the single-side thickness of the negative film layer to the thickness of the negative current collector is 13 to 20.

[0208] During battery cycling, lithium ions that cannot be embedded in the negative electrode in time may form lithium dendrites on the negative electrode surface, deteriorating the battery's cycle performance. In the battery cell provided in this application, when the size W2 of the negative electrode film layer and the size W1 of the positive electrode film layer have the above-mentioned relationship, the formation of lithium dendrites on the negative electrode surface can be improved, thereby enabling the battery to have good cycle performance at the same time.

[0209] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet can be prepared by dispersing the components used to prepare the negative electrode sheet, such as the negative electrode active material, conductive agent, binder and any other components, in a solvent (e.g., deionized water) to form a negative electrode slurry; coating the negative electrode slurry onto the negative electrode current collector, and then obtaining the negative electrode sheet after drying, cold pressing and other processes.

[0210] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet is 1.3 g / cm³. 3 Up to 1.6 g / cm 3 For example, 1.3g / cm 3 1.4g / cm 3 1.5g / cm 3 1.6g / cm 3 Wait, or 1.3g / cm 3 Up to 1.6 g / cm 3 Other values ​​not listed within the range.

[0212] In some embodiments, the compaction density of the negative electrode tab corresponds to the compaction density of the negative electrode film layer corresponding to the battery cell in the 0% SOC state, wherein the battery cell in the 0% SOC state refers to a battery cell discharged at 1 / 3C to 2.0V and then discharged at 0.05C to 2.0V.

[0213] As used herein, the "compaction density" of the tab is: compaction density = areal density / (tab thickness - current collector thickness), which can be determined according to GB / T 24533-2009.

[0214] When the compaction density of the negative electrode tab is in the above range, the energy density of the battery can be further improved while ensuring the kinetic performance.

[0217] In some embodiments, the electrolyte uses an electrolyte solution. The electrolyte solution includes an electrolyte salt and an organic solvent.

[0218] In the embodiments of the present application, the types and contents of the organic components in the electrolyte solution are of the meanings known in the art, and can be detected using devices and methods known in the art, for example, the composition of the electrolyte solution can be detected by liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion chromatography, liquid nuclear magnetic resonance, etc. For example, the organic components in the electrolyte solution can be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography according to GB / T 9722-2006 "General Gas Chromatography for Chemical Reagents".

[0219] The test sample in the embodiments of the present application can be a freshly prepared electrolyte solution, or free electrolyte solution obtained from a battery discharged to the lower limit cutoff voltage so that the charged state of the battery is about 0% SOC.

[0220] In the embodiments of the present application, the type and content of the inorganic component / lithium salt concentration in the electrolyte are the meanings known in the art, which can be detected by using the devices and methods known in the art, for example, the qualitative or quantitative analysis of the inorganic component / lithium salt concentration in the electrolyte can be performed by ion chromatography according to the standard JY / T020-1996 "General Ion Chromatography Analysis Method". In the embodiments of the present application, the freshly prepared electrolyte can be taken as a sample, or the free electrolyte obtained from the battery after the battery is discharged (discharged to the lower limit cutoff voltage so that the charged state of the battery is about 0% SOC), and the ion chromatography analysis method is used for detection.

[0221] In some embodiments, the organic solvent includes a carboxylic acid ester solvent and a carbonate solvent.

[0222] In the battery cell provided by the present application, when the above type of organic solvent is used in the electrolyte, the kinetic performance of the battery can be further improved.

[0223] In some embodiments, the organic solvent includes a linear carboxylic acid ester, and the mass fraction of the linear carboxylic acid ester based on the total mass of the electrolyte is 40% to 75%, for example, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, or other values not listed in the range of 40% to 75%.

[0224] In some embodiments, the linear carboxylic acid ester has a general structural formula of R1-COO-R2, wherein R1 and R2 each independently includes one or more of C1-C5 alkyl and C1-C5 halogenated alkyl.

[0225] In some embodiments, the linear carboxylic acid ester includes one or more of ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, methyl propionate, propyl acetate, ethyl formate, and isopropyl formate.

[0226] When the above type and mass fraction of the linear carboxylic acid ester is used as the organic solvent in the electrolyte, the linear carboxylic acid ester can effectively improve the electrolyte conductivity due to its low viscosity, thereby further improving the fast-charging performance of the battery.

[0227] In some embodiments, the organic solvent includes a carbonate solvent, and the carbonate solvent includes a linear carbonate and a cyclic carbonate, and the mass fraction of the linear carbonate based on the total mass of the electrolyte is 10% to 40%, for example, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, or other values not listed in the range of 10% to 40%.

[0230] When the above type and mass percentage of carbonate is used as the organic solvent in the electrolyte, the side reactions and the degree of gas generation of the battery during the cycle process can be improved, so that the battery has good cycle performance.

[0231] In some embodiments, the organic solvent includes dimethyl carbonate and linear carboxylic acid ester, and the mass ratio of the linear carboxylic acid ester to the dimethyl carbonate is 2.0 to 7.0, for example, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, or the like, or other unlisted values within the range of 2.0 to 7.0.

[0232] In some embodiments, the organic solvent includes dimethyl carbonate and linear carboxylic acid ester, and the mass ratio of the linear carboxylic acid ester to the dimethyl carbonate is 3.0 to 6.0.

[0233] When the above mass ratio of dimethyl carbonate and linear carboxylic acid ester is used as the organic solvent in the electrolyte, the fast-charging performance and the cycle performance of the battery can be further improved by the combination of the two solvents.

[0234] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes a lithium salt, for example, at least one of lithium hexafluorophosphate, lithium tetrafluoroborate, lithium perchlorate, lithium hexafluoroarsenate, lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide, lithium bis-trifluoromethylsulfonylimide, lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, lithium difluorophosphate, lithium difluoro oxalate borate, lithium di oxalate borate, lithium difluoro di-oxalate phosphate, and lithium tetrafluoro oxalate phosphate.

[0235] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the lithium salt is 13% to 20%, for example, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, or the like, or other unlisted values within the range of 13% to 20%, based on the total mass of the electrolyte.

[0237] The dissociation ability of the fluorine-containing sulfimide salt is strong, and the use of lithium hexafluorophosphate in combination can further improve the fast charging performance of the battery, but excessive content of LiTFSI will reduce the safety performance of the battery, especially make the battery heat runaway more intense.

[0238] In some embodiments, the lithium salt includes lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF6 and lithium bisfluorosulfimide LiFSI.

[0239] In some embodiments, in the electrolyte, the mass ratio of lithium hexafluorophosphate LiPF6 to lithium bisfluorosulfimide LiFSI is 1.2:1 to 2:1, for example, 1.2:1, 1.3:1, 1.4:1, 1.5:1, 1.6:1, 1.7:1, 1.8:1, 1.9:1, 2:1, or other values not listed in the range of 1.2:1 to 2:1.

[0240] When lithium hexafluorophosphate and lithium bisfluorosulfimide in the above mass ratio range are used in the electrolyte at the same time, the fast charging performance and cycle performance of the battery can be further improved.

[0244] In the battery cell provided in the present application, the carbonate additive, for example, fluoroethylene carbonate and vinylene carbonate, with a mass fraction in the above range, is also added to the electrolyte, which can form an SEI film on the negative electrode surface, thereby reducing the side reactions between the electrode and the electrolyte, and further making the battery have better cycle performance.

[0245] In some embodiments, the electrolyte comprises vinylene carbonate VC, and the mass percentage of the vinylene carbonate VC in the electrolyte is 0.5% to 2%, for example, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1.0%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, or the like, or other values not listed in the range of 0.5% to 2%.

[0246] When the electrolyte is added with the vinylene carbonate in the above mass percentage range as an additive, the SEI film formed is more stable, which is conducive to further improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0247] In some embodiments, the electrolyte comprises fluoroethylene carbonate FEC, and the mass percentage of the fluoroethylene carbonate FEC in the electrolyte is 0.1% to 1%, for example, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1.0%, or the like, or other values not listed in the range of 0.1% to 1%.

[0248] When the electrolyte is added with the fluoroethylene carbonate in the above mass percentage range as an additive, the SEI film formed has low impedance, which can further improve the fast-charging performance of the battery.

[0249] In some embodiments, the types and mass of the additives and solvents in the electrolyte can be obtained by detecting the electrolyte by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, the composition in the electrolyte can be measured by liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion chromatography, liquid nuclear magnetic resonance, and the like. Illustratively, the electrolyte is diluted to 3-10 times with acetonitrile to obtain an electrolyte diluent to be tested, and the electrolyte diluent is placed in a GC-MS 3100 organic component gas chromatograph for full-scan qualitative analysis. The injection port temperature is 250°C, and the scanning range is 35 μm-270 μm. After the test is completed, the total ion current chromatogram of each organic matter is obtained. According to the peak position of the chromatogram, the corresponding organic matter type is compared, and the percentage content of each organic matter is calculated according to the peak area.

[0261] The positive tab 111b after winding is aligned and in a stacked manner, has a larger connection area, so as to facilitate the direct electrical connection of the positive tab 111b with the electrode terminal 131, without the need to connect the positive tab 111b with the electrode terminal 131 through the adapter piece. Similarly, the negative tab 112b after winding is aligned and in a stacked manner, has a larger connection area, so as to facilitate the direct electrical connection of the negative tab 112b with the electrode terminal 131, without the need to connect the negative tab 112b with the electrode terminal 131 through the adapter piece.

[0262] In a conventional battery, an adapter piece is needed to connect the electrode terminal with the tab, but the utilization rate of the electrode assembly is thus lost, and the energy density of the battery is reduced.

[0323] II. Analysis of test results of each example and comparative example

[0324] The battery monomers of each example and comparative example were prepared according to the above method, and each performance parameter was measured, and the results are shown in Table 5 below.

[0325] Table 1. Preparation parameters of negative electrode sheet

[0326] Table 2. Preparation parameters of positive electrode sheet

[0327] Table 3. Preparation parameters of electrolyte

[0328] Table 4. Preparation parameters of electrolyte

[0329] Table 5. Battery performance parameters

[0330] In the battery monomers of Examples 1-13, the lithium-containing phosphate containing an olivine structure was used as the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer, and the graphite with an average particle size Dv50 of 8-15 μm was used as the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode film layer; and as shown in FIG. 4, in the cross section of the positive electrode film layer along the thickness direction, the lithium-containing phosphate contains first lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05-0.3 μm and second lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 1-3 μm; therefore, the battery monomers prepared in Examples 1-13 all have excellent fast charging performance, energy density, cycle performance, and low direct current internal resistance.

[0331] The average particle size Dv50 of the graphite in the negative electrode film layer of Comparative Examples 1-2 is out of the range of 8-15 μm, in which: the Dv50 of the graphite in Comparative Example 1 is too large, and the Dv50 of the graphite in Comparative Example 2 is too small.

[0332] It can be seen from the comparison of Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 1-13 that: when the average particle size Dv50 of the graphite is greater than 15 μm, the fast-charging performance and the direct-current internal resistance of the battery cell cannot be effectively improved; and when the average particle size Dv50 of the graphite is less than 8 μm, the cycle performance of the battery cell cannot be effectively improved, and the energy density is also reduced; therefore, when the average particle size Dv50 of the graphite in the negative electrode film layer is in the range of 8-15 μm, the cycle performance, the fast-charging performance, the direct-current internal resistance and the energy density of the battery are improved, and when the average particle size Dv50 of the graphite is out of the range, the comprehensive performance of the battery is poor.

[0333] In the positive electrode film layer of Comparative Example 3, the lithium-containing phosphate contains second lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 1-3 μm, but does not contain first lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05-0.3 μm.

[0334] It can be seen from the comparison of Comparative Example 3 and Examples 1-13 that: when the lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode film layer is not used in the size grading manner, but only the particles with a larger particle size (the longest diameter is 1-3 μm) are used, the improvement effect on the fast-charging performance and the direct-current internal resistance of the battery is limited, and the energy density is deteriorated.

[0335] In the positive electrode film layer of Comparative Example 4, the lithium-containing phosphate contains first lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 0.05-0.3 μm, but does not contain second lithium-containing phosphate particles with a longest diameter of 1-3 μm.

[0336] It can be seen from the comparison of Comparative Example 4 and Examples 1-13 that: when the lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode film layer is not used in the size grading manner, but only the particles with a smaller particle size (the longest diameter is 0.05-0.3 μm) are used, the compaction density of the electrode plate is low, and therefore the energy density is deteriorated. Therefore, when the lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode film layer is used in the size grading manner of the particles with a smaller particle size (the longest diameter is 0.05-0.3 μm) and the particles with a larger particle size (the longest diameter is 1-3 μm), the energy density, the cycle performance, the fast-charging performance and the direct-current internal resistance of the battery are improved, and when the lithium-containing phosphate is out of the range, the comprehensive performance of the battery is poor.

[0337] In Examples 1-5, the average particle size Dv50 of the graphite in the negative electrode film layer is in the range of 8-15 μm, and the battery cells prepared therefrom can have excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low direct current resistance. In addition, the results show that when the Dv50 of the graphite gradually increases in the range of 8-15 μm, the cycle performance of the battery is improved to some extent, but the fast charging performance is decreased to some extent and the direct current resistance is increased to some extent; when the Dv50 of the graphite gradually decreases in the range of 8-15 μm, the fast charging performance of the battery is improved to some extent and the direct current resistance is decreased to some extent, but the cycle performance is decreased to some extent. Therefore, only when the Dv50 of the graphite in the negative electrode film layer is in the range of 8-15 μm, the fast charging performance, cycle performance, and direct current resistance of the battery can be improved, and when the Dv50 of the graphite is in the range of 9.5-11.5 μm, the comprehensive performance of the battery is better. When the Dv50 of the graphite is too low, the energy density of the battery is reduced.

[0338] In Examples 1 and 6, the lithium-containing phosphate in the positive electrode film layer comprises first lithium-containing phosphate particles having a longest diameter of 0.05-0.3 μm and second lithium-containing phosphate particles having a longest diameter of 1-3 μm, and the battery cells prepared therefrom can have excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low direct current resistance. In addition, it can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 6 that when the number of the first lithium-containing phosphate particles having a longest diameter of 0.05-0.3 μm is greater than the number of the second lithium-containing phosphate particles having a longest diameter of 1-3 μm, the direct current resistance and fast charging performance of the battery can be further improved, and the comprehensive performance of the battery is better.

[0339] In Examples 1, 7-10, the electrolyte has the following formulation, and the battery cells prepared therefrom can have excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low direct current resistance: linear carboxylic acid ester (e.g., ethyl acetate) with a mass fraction of 40-75%, linear carbonate (e.g., DMC, EMC) with a mass fraction of 10-40%, and cyclic carbonate (e.g., ethylene carbonate) with a mass fraction of 5-15%, wherein the mass fraction of dimethyl carbonate is 5-15%, and the mass ratio of linear carboxylic acid ester (e.g., ethyl acetate) to dimethyl carbonate is 2.0-7.0; LiPF6 and LiFSI with a mass fraction of 13-20%, and the mass ratio of LiPF6 to LiFSI is 1.2:1-2:1.

[0340] Meanwhile, it can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1, 7, and 8 that as the proportion of linear carboxylic acid ester (e.g., ethyl acetate) and LiFSI in the electrolyte gradually increases, the fast charging performance and direct current resistance of the battery are further improved; and as the proportion of linear carbonate (e.g., DMC) and LiPF6 in the electrolyte gradually increases, the cycle performance of the battery is further improved.

[0341] Meanwhile, it can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1, 9, 10 that when only linear carboxylic acid ester (such as ethyl acetate) exists in the organic solvent of the electrolyte, no carbonic acid ester exists, and only LiFSI exists in the lithium salt, no LiPF6 exists, the fast charging performance and the direct current internal resistance of the battery are further improved, and the cycle performance of the battery is poor; when only linear carbonic acid ester (such as DMC) exists in the organic solvent of the electrolyte, no linear carboxylic acid ester exists, and only LiPF6 exists in the lithium salt, no LiFSI exists, the cycle performance of the battery is further improved, but the improvement of the fast charging performance and the direct current internal resistance is limited. Therefore, when the linear carbonic acid ester and the linear carboxylic acid ester in the above mass ratio are used as the organic solvent in the electrolyte at the same time, and the LiPF6 and the LiFSI in the above mass ratio are used as the lithium salt at the same time, by matching the various solvents and lithium salts with each other, the fast charging performance, the direct current internal resistance and the cycle performance of the battery can be further improved, and the comprehensive performance of the battery is better.

[0342] In Examples 1 and 11, at least one layer of graphite is contained in the negative electrode film layer as the negative electrode active material, and the average particle size Dv50 thereof is in the range of 8 μm to 15 μm, and the battery cell prepared thereby can have excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low direct current internal resistance. In addition, it can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Example 11 that when the negative electrode film layer includes two layers of artificial graphite having different particle sizes as the negative electrode active material layer (the first negative electrode active material layer is arranged on the surface of the negative electrode current collector, and the second negative electrode active material layer is arranged on the side of the first negative electrode active material layer away from the negative electrode current collector, and the Dv50 of the first negative electrode active material layer is greater than that of the second negative electrode active material layer), the fast charging performance and the direct current internal resistance of the battery can be further improved, and the comprehensive performance of the battery is better.

[0343] In Examples 1, 12-13, the ratio of the single-sided thickness of the positive electrode film layer to the thickness of the positive electrode current collector is 5 to 12, and the ratio of the single-sided thickness of the negative electrode film layer to the thickness of the negative electrode current collector is 12 to 20, and the battery cell prepared thereby can have excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low direct current internal resistance. In addition, the results also show that when the ratio of the single-sided thickness of the positive and negative electrode film layers to the thickness of the positive and negative electrode current collectors gradually increases within the above range, the energy density of the battery can be further improved; when the ratio of the single-sided thickness of the positive and negative electrode film layers to the thickness of the positive and negative electrode current collectors gradually decreases within the above range, the fast charging performance, the direct current internal resistance, and the cycle performance of the battery can be further improved.

[0344] In Examples 1-13, the specific surface area of the graphite in the positive electrode film layer is 3 m 2 / g to 8 m 2 / g, and the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet is 2.3 g / cm 3 to 2.6 g / cm 3, the compaction density of the negative electrode sheet is 1.3 g / cm 3 to 1.6 g / cm 3 The prepared battery cell can have excellent energy density, fast charging performance, cycle performance, and low direct current resistance.
