High energy density lithium-ion batteries
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411596853.6, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on November 8, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery technology, specifically relating to a high-energy-density lithium-ion battery. Background Technology
[0003] In recent years, with the gradual depletion of traditional fossil fuels and the increasingly serious problem of global warming, people have become more and more aware of the importance of new energy sources in the future society. Among all new energy systems, solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear energy do not have convenient mobility; while lithium-ion batteries, as a lightweight form of energy storage, have specific irreplaceable advantages in practical applications and are therefore widely used.
[0004] Lithium-ion batteries possess advantages such as high energy density, low self-discharge, long cycle life, and safety and environmental friendliness, making them widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, power and communication energy storage, and other fields. Based on the different cathode materials, lithium-ion batteries can be classified into lithium cobalt oxide batteries, lithium manganese oxide batteries, ternary lithium batteries, and lithium iron phosphate batteries, corresponding to cathode materials such as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2, LCO), lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4, LMO), ternary lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NMC), ternary lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA), and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP). Among them, lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) has the highest charge and discharge voltage, but the price of its main element Co is relatively high, so it is mainly used in consumer electronics; spinel-type lithium manganese oxide (LMO) is relatively inexpensive, but its energy density and cycle life are slightly lower, so it is mainly used in electric two-wheelers; ternary lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NMC) and ternary lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) have higher energy densities and prices, so they are mainly used as power batteries for high-end passenger vehicles; lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode materials are widely used in passenger vehicle power batteries, commercial vehicle power batteries, and power & communication energy storage batteries due to their advantages such as stable structure, abundant reserves of main elements Fe & P, low price, ultra-long cycle life, and high safety.
[0005] However, the current energy density of the LFP-graphite system is already close to the upper limit of conventional battery design (180Wh / kg). Therefore, it is urgent to optimize the system to improve the upper limit of the energy density design of lithium iron phosphate batteries. Invention Overview
[0006] This application provides a high-energy-density lithium-ion battery, aiming to solve the problem of how to improve the energy density of lithium batteries while taking into account their rate performance and cycle performance.
[0007] This application provides a high-energy-density lithium-ion battery, including a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The positive electrode includes a positive active material layer, which includes a positive active material. The negative electrode includes a negative active material layer, which includes a negative active material.
[0008] The positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate material and lithium-rich material, wherein the lithium-rich material accounts for 0.2% to 8% of the mass of the positive electrode active material;
[0009] The chemical formula of the lithium iron phosphate material LFP is Li 1+x Fe 1-y M y (PO4) 1+z , 0≤x≤0.1, 0≤y≤0.01, 0≤z≤0.04;
[0010] The M includes at least one of Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Mg, Mo, W, and Al;
[0011] The lithium-rich material includes at least one of LFO and LNO; wherein the chemical formula of the LFO is Li. 5+a Fe 1-b Z b O 4+c , 0≤a≤0.5, 0≤b≤0.01, 0≤c≤0.03; Z includes at least one of Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Mg, Mo, W, and Al;
[0012] The chemical formula of the LNO is Li 2+d Ni 1-e Y e O 2+f -0.5≤d≤0.5, e≥0, -0.5≤f≤0.5; the Y includes at least one of Ti, V, Al, Mg, Mn, and Fe;
[0013] The negative electrode active material includes graphite material and silicon negative electrode material, wherein the silicon negative electrode material accounts for 1% to 50% of the total mass of the negative electrode active material. Beneficial effects
[0014] The initial coulombic efficiency of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is relatively high (generally above 96%), while the initial coulombic efficiency of the anode active material obtained by combining graphite and silicon anode materials is relatively low (generally below 90%). Therefore, the reversible specific capacity of lithium batteries is limited by the initial coulombic efficiency of the anode.
[0015] First, this application introduces lithium-rich materials into the positive electrode active material. The high specific capacity of the lithium-rich materials during the first charge can compensate for the consumption of active lithium caused by the formation of the SEI film at the negative electrode during the first charge, thereby increasing the amount of active lithium intercalation and deintercalation at the negative electrode during the discharge process. This achieves the effect of improving the reversible specific capacity of the lithium battery, and the energy density of the lithium battery reaches 200-280Wh / kg. Furthermore, since the lithium-rich materials in the positive electrode system can significantly improve the specific capacity of the positive electrode and greatly reduce the coating thickness or areal density of the positive electrode active material layer, and the silicon in the (graphite + silicon) negative electrode system can significantly improve the specific capacity of the negative electrode and greatly reduce the thickness or areal density of the negative electrode active material layer, the energy density of the lithium battery can be significantly improved by using the (LFP + lithium-rich material) positive electrode system combined with the (graphite + silicon) negative electrode system in this application.
[0016] At the same time, due to the significant reduction in the thickness and areal density of the positive and negative active material layers, the transport paths of electrons and lithium ions in the electrodes are shortened. This will effectively improve the kinetic performance of electron and lithium ion mass transfer, reduce the DC internal resistance (DCR) of the lithium battery, and thus help improve the energy efficiency, rate performance and low-temperature performance of the lithium battery.
[0017] Secondly, the lithium replenishment effect of lithium-rich materials can also improve the cycle life of lithium batteries to a certain extent. More importantly, the introduction of lithium-rich materials can change the SEI film composition and reduce the DC resistance (DCR) of lithium batteries, thereby improving the cycle life and energy efficiency of lithium batteries. Since the volume of lithium-rich materials shrinks by 20%-70% after the first charge and lithium insertion / extraction, while the volume of LFP remains basically unchanged (within 5%) after the first charge and lithium insertion / extraction, the volume shrinkage of lithium-rich materials will form a new porous structure in the positive electrode active material layer of the positive electrode sheet of this application. This will facilitate the full wetting and adsorption of electrolyte in the positive electrode sheet, improve the electrolyte retention capacity of the positive electrode sheet, effectively enhance the mass transfer kinetics of lithium ions in the electrode, and thus significantly improve the cycle life of lithium batteries.
[0018] Third, by doping elements in lithium iron phosphate materials and lithium-rich materials, the structural stability of lithium iron phosphate materials and lithium-rich materials can be improved respectively. Moreover, when the two are combined with silicon anodes, the rate performance of lithium batteries can be further improved.
[0019] Fourth, since the potential of silicon anode material to Li+ / Li during lithium intercalation is naturally higher than that of graphite material, the mixed potential of silicon anode material and graphite material is still higher than that of graphite material. Therefore, the potential of the (graphite + silicon) anode system in this application will not approach the lithium plating potential and cause lithium plating when charged at high rate. It is safer than a simple graphite anode when fast charging, giving the battery higher fast charging performance. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This application provides a high-energy-density lithium-ion battery, including a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The positive electrode includes a positive active material layer, which includes a positive active material. The negative electrode includes a negative active material layer, which includes a negative active material.
[0026] The positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate material and lithium-rich material, wherein the lithium-rich material accounts for 0.2% to 8% of the mass of the positive electrode active material;
[0027] The chemical formula of the lithium iron phosphate material LFP is Li 1+x Fe 1-y M y (PO4) 1+z , 0≤x≤0.1, 0≤y≤0.01, 0≤z≤0.04;
[0028] The M includes at least one of Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Mg, Mo, W, and Al;
[0029] The lithium-rich material includes at least one of LFO and LNO; wherein the chemical formula of the LFO is Li. 5+a Fe 1-b Z b O 4+c , 0≤a≤0.5, 0≤b≤0.01, 0≤c≤0.03; Z includes at least one of Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Mg, Mo, W, and Al;
[0030] The chemical formula of the LNO is Li 2+d Ni 1-e Y e O 2+f -0.5≤d≤0.5, e≥0, -0.5≤f≤0.5; the Y includes at least one of Ti, V, Al, Mg, Mn, and Fe;
[0031] The negative electrode active material includes graphite material and silicon negative electrode material, wherein the silicon negative electrode material accounts for 1% to 50% of the total mass of the negative electrode active material.
[0032] The initial coulombic efficiency of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is relatively high (generally above 96%), while the initial coulombic efficiency of the anode active material obtained by combining graphite and silicon anode materials is relatively low (generally below 90%). Therefore, the reversible specific capacity of lithium batteries is limited by the initial coulombic efficiency of the anode.
[0033] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0034] First, this application introduces lithium-rich materials into the positive electrode active material. The high specific capacity of the lithium-rich materials during the first charge can compensate for the consumption of active lithium caused by the formation of the SEI film at the negative electrode during the first charge, thereby increasing the amount of active lithium intercalation and deintercalation at the negative electrode during the discharge process. This achieves the effect of improving the reversible specific capacity of the lithium battery, and the energy density of the lithium battery reaches 200-280 Wh / kg. Since the lithium-rich materials in the positive electrode system can significantly improve the specific capacity of the positive electrode and greatly reduce the coating thickness or areal density of the positive electrode active material layer, and the silicon in the (graphite + silicon) negative electrode system can significantly improve the specific capacity of the negative electrode and greatly reduce the thickness or areal density of the negative electrode active material layer, the combination of the above advantages, using the (LFP + lithium-rich material) positive electrode system and the (graphite + silicon) negative electrode system in this application can significantly improve the energy density of the lithium battery.
[0035] At the same time, due to the significant reduction in the thickness and areal density of the positive and negative active material layers, the transport paths of electrons and lithium ions in the electrodes are shortened. This will effectively improve the kinetic performance of electron and lithium ion mass transfer, reduce the DC internal resistance (DCR) of the lithium battery, and thus help improve the energy efficiency, rate performance and low-temperature performance of the lithium battery.
[0036] Secondly, the lithium replenishment effect of lithium-rich materials can also improve the cycle life of lithium batteries to a certain extent. More importantly, the introduction of lithium-rich materials can change the SEI film composition and reduce the DC resistance (DCR) of lithium batteries, thereby improving the cycle life and energy efficiency of lithium batteries. Since the volume of lithium-rich materials shrinks by 20% to 70% after the first charge and lithium insertion / extraction, while the volume of LFP remains basically unchanged after the first charge and lithium insertion / extraction (volume change within 5%), the volume shrinkage of lithium-rich materials will form a new porous structure in the positive electrode active material layer of the positive electrode sheet of this application. This will facilitate the full wetting and adsorption of electrolyte in the positive electrode sheet, improve the electrolyte retention capacity of the positive electrode sheet, effectively enhance the mass transfer kinetics of lithium ions in the electrode, and thus significantly improve the cycle life of lithium batteries.
[0037] Third, by doping elements in lithium iron phosphate materials and lithium-rich materials, the structural stability of lithium iron phosphate materials and lithium-rich materials can be improved respectively. Moreover, when the two are combined with silicon anodes, the rate performance of lithium batteries can be further improved.
[0038] Fourth, since the potential of silicon anode material to Li+ / Li during lithium intercalation is naturally higher than that of graphite material, the mixed potential of silicon anode material and graphite material is still higher than that of graphite material. Therefore, the potential of the (graphite + silicon) anode system in this application will not approach the lithium plating potential and cause lithium plating when charged at high rate. It is safer than a simple graphite anode when fast charging, giving the battery higher fast charging performance.
[0039] In some embodiments, the average primary particle size of the lithium iron phosphate material is 0.1–2 μm, and the average primary particle size of the lithium-rich material is 0.8–25 μm. Since the lithium-rich material undergoes volume shrinkage after the first charge and lithium insertion / extraction, with a maximum shrinkage of up to 60%, controlling the average primary particle size of the lithium-rich material allows for adjustment of the size of the new pore structure formed in the positive electrode active material layer. This results in a pore structure that is conducive to electrolyte wetting and has excellent liquid retention performance, thereby improving the mass transfer kinetics of lithium ions in the electrode, reducing liquid-phase ohmic polarization caused by the electrolyte, and consequently reducing the battery's DC internal resistance (DCR), which helps improve the battery's rate performance and cycle life.
[0040] In some embodiments, the doping amount of M in the lithium iron phosphate material is 500 to 8000 ppm, and / or the doping amount of Z in the lithium-rich material is 200 to 5000 ppm, and / or the doping amount of Y in the lithium-rich material is 200 to 5000 ppm.
[0041] In this embodiment, the lithium iron phosphate material is prepared by a method comprising the following steps:
[0042] The precursor is mixed with lithium carbonate and deionized water and then ground. A dopant source containing doping elements is added to the mixture to obtain a mixed slurry. The mixed slurry is then spray-dried and sintered in an inert atmosphere to obtain the lithium iron phosphate material.

[0046] The precursor includes nickel phosphate; the doping source containing the doping element includes at least one of nano-titanium oxide, soluble organic titanium oxide, vanadium pentoxide, ammonium metavanadate, nano-zirconium oxide, niobium pentoxide, magnesium oxide, molybdenum oxide, tungsten oxide, nano-alumina, manganese oxide, and iron oxide.
[0047] In some embodiments, in the lithium iron phosphate material, M includes any two of Ti, V, and Nb.
[0048] In some embodiments, the lithium iron phosphate material has a Ti doping amount of 1000–2000 ppm, a V doping amount of 500–1000 ppm, and a Nb doping amount of 200–500 ppm.
[0049] By selecting the type of M and controlling the doping amount of the doping element, not only can the structural stability of lithium iron phosphate materials be improved, but also the rate performance of lithium iron phosphate materials can be enhanced.
[0050] In some embodiments, in the lithium-rich material, Z includes any two of Ti, V, and Nb, and Y includes any two of Ti, V, and Mg.
[0051] In some embodiments, the lithium-rich material has a Ti doping amount of 1000–2000 ppm, a V doping amount of 500–1000 ppm, a Nb doping amount of 200–500 ppm, and a Mg doping amount of 200–500 ppm.
[0052] By selecting the type of Z and controlling the doping amount of the doping element, not only can the structural stability of lithium-rich materials be improved, but also the stability of the combination of lithium-rich materials and lithium iron phosphate materials can be improved, which helps to improve the rate performance of lithium batteries.
[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments, the positive electrode active material layer further includes a positive electrode conductive agent and a binder, wherein the mass ratio of the positive electrode active material, the positive electrode conductive agent and the binder is 95-100:0.5-1.5:1-3.

The silicon anode material undergoes volume shrinkage after the first charge and lithium insertion / extraction. By controlling the average primary particle size of the silicon anode material and the graphite material, a suitable porous structure can be formed in the positive electrode active layer, creating a channel structure that facilitates electrolyte wetting and excellent liquid retention. Combined with the positive electrode sheet, this accelerates the transfer of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes without lithium plating, significantly improving the kinetic and cycle performance of the lithium battery.

[0057] In some embodiments, the silicon anode material accounts for 5% to 30% of the mass of the anode active material.
[0058] Optionally, in some embodiments, the negative electrode active material layer further includes a negative electrode conductive agent, a thickener, and an adhesive, wherein the mass ratio of the negative electrode active material, the negative electrode conductive agent, the thickener, and the adhesive is 95-98:0.1-1.5:1-2:1-2.

[0065] The first step involves mixing the positive electrode conductive agent with the first part of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and stirring at a low speed of 2.0–5.0 m / s for 0.5–3 hours to obtain a positive electrode conductive slurry. The second step involves adding the positive electrode active material (obtained by mixing LFP and lithium-rich materials) sequentially (at least twice) to the above positive electrode conductive slurry, stirring at a low speed of 2.0–5.0 m / s for 0.5–3 hours. The third step involves continuing to stir at a speed of 10 m / s–25 m / s. The cathode slurry is obtained by high-speed stirring at a linear velocity of m / s for 0.5 to 3 hours. In the third step, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and the second part N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) are mixed to obtain a gel, and the mixture is stirred at a linear velocity of 10 m / s to 25 m / s for 1 to 8 hours to obtain a premixed slurry. In the fifth step, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) is added to the above premixed slurry and the viscosity is adjusted to 5000 to 25000 mPa·s to obtain the cathode slurry.
[0066] The above-mentioned positive electrode slurry is coated on the two surfaces of carbon-coated aluminum foil (thickness of 10-15 μm) using a transfer coating machine or an extrusion coating machine. After drying, rolling and slitting, the positive electrode sheet (porosity of the positive electrode sheet is 23%-40%) is obtained.
[0067] 2. Preparation of negative electrode sheet
[0068] In the negative electrode slurry, the mass ratio of graphite material, silicon negative electrode material, conductive graphite SP, carboxymethyl cellulose CMC, and styrene-butadiene rubber SBR is 96.0:1.5:0.5:0.5:2.0.
[0069] The first step involves adding the negative electrode active material (a mixture of graphite and silicon negative electrode materials) sequentially (at least twice) to deionized water to obtain a mixed slurry. The second step involves adding the negative electrode conductive agent (SP) to the mixed slurry and kneading it at a low linear speed of 2.0–5.0 m / s for 0.5–3 hours to obtain a conductive slurry. The third step involves adding the thickener (CMC) to the conductive slurry and stirring it at a low linear speed of 5–15 m / s for 0.5–3 hours to obtain a composite slurry. The fourth step involves adding the adhesive (SBR) to the composite slurry and stirring it at a linear speed of 5–20 m / s for 1–8 hours to obtain a premixed slurry.

[0070] The above-mentioned negative electrode slurry is coated on both surfaces of copper foil (thickness of 4.5-8 μm) using a transfer coating machine or an extrusion coating machine. After drying, rolling and slitting, the negative electrode sheet (porosity of negative electrode sheet is 22%-37%) is obtained.
[0071] 3. Lithium-ion battery manufacturing
[0072] (1) Winding: The positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode (the separator separates the positive and negative electrode, the negative electrode sandwiches the positive electrode, and the leads of the positive and negative electrodes are distributed on opposite sides) are stacked in sequence and wound manually or automatically / semi-automatically to obtain the core.
[0073] (2) Electrode welding: The aluminum electrode tabs are ultrasonically welded to the positive electrode lead-out end, and the nickel electrode tabs are ultrasonically welded to the negative electrode lead-out end. PET protective tape is applied to the welded joint.
[0074] (3) Baking: Place the above core in a vacuum environment and bake at 90-120°C for 8-24 hours to reduce the moisture content of each part of the core to below 400ppm (preferably below 300ppm).
[0075] (4) Inserting into the shell (sealing with aluminum-plastic film): Cut the aluminum-plastic film into rectangles of a certain length and width, tightly wrap the above core, and use a sealing machine to heat-seal the edges along the positive and negative electrode tabs, leaving the liquid injection port on the side;
[0076] (5) Electrolyte injection: Inject an appropriate amount of electrolyte into the aluminum-plastic encapsulation shell, wherein the electrolyte composition is 1.0M LiPF6+EC / EMC / DEC+VC / FEC / DTD and other additives;
[0077] (6) Vacuum settling: After the core is injected with electrolyte, it is placed in a vacuum chamber and vacuumed to maintain a negative pressure for 0.5 to 2 hours so that the positive / negative electrode plates and the diaphragm can be completely wetted with electrolyte;
[0078] (7) Sealing: The last opening of the aluminum-plastic packaging bag is sealed with a sealing machine. A distance is left between the sealing point and the core to facilitate the storage of a small amount of gas generated by the battery after subsequent formation (i.e., the so-called "gas bag").
[0079] (12) Settling: Place the sealed battery in a 45±5℃ incubator and let it stand for 24 to 48 hours to allow the electrolyte to fully wet the pores of the positive and negative electrodes and the separator again.
[0080] (13) Fixture formation: The lithium battery is clamped and charged by applying a certain current to the battery at a temperature of 45±5℃ through the formation cabinet. The battery is charged to 20%SOC~70%SOC, so that the negative electrode and the electrolyte form an SEI film, and at the same time a portion of gaseous byproducts are generated.
[0081] (14) Vacuuming: Use a vacuum pumping device to puncture the gas bag and then draw a vacuum to remove the by-product gas generated during the formation stage.
[0082] (15) Sealing: Use a sealing machine to heat-seal the part near the core and cut off the air bag to make a complete battery cell;
[0083] (16) High temperature aging: After sealing, the battery is left to stand at 45±5℃ for 12 to 72 hours to make the SEI film formed on the negative electrode surface more stable.
[0084] (17) Capacity grading: Charge the battery to 3.65V with a constant current of 0.5C and maintain a constant voltage at 3.65V until the current decreases to below 0.05C and charging is stopped; after standing for 5 to 30 minutes, discharge the battery to 2.5V with a constant current of 0.2C; then the initial coulombic efficiency = capacity grading discharge capacity / (formation charging capacity + capacity grading continued charging capacity); charge the battery to a specific state of charge (20%SOC to 50%SOC) with a constant current of 0.5C and store at 25°C;
[0085] (18) OCV test: Before storing at 25℃, test the open circuit voltage of the battery and record it as OCV1; after storing at 25℃ for a period of time t (24~72h), test the open circuit voltage of the battery again and record it as OCV2; then the battery self-discharge K value = (OCV1~OCV2) / t. Qualified lithium batteries are screened by K value, and batteries with excessively high K value are downgraded or scrapped.
[0086] The preparation process of the positive and negative electrode sheets in this application is very simple. It can adopt the slurrying, coating, drying, rolling, and slitting / sheet making processes commonly used in the industrial production of lithium-ion batteries. This can effectively ensure the scalable manufacturability and cost control of the positive and negative electrode sheets, and has excellent economic value.

[0168] Based on Examples 1-8, Comparative Examples 1-4, and Table 1, it can be seen that by using lithium iron phosphate and lithium-rich materials as positive electrode active materials, and graphite and silicon anode materials in combination as negative electrode active materials, and by doping the lithium iron phosphate and lithium-rich materials with appropriate elements, the energy density, rate performance, and low-temperature performance of lithium batteries can be significantly improved. Furthermore, the combination of lithium iron phosphate and lithium-rich materials can form a porous structure in the positive electrode active material layer that facilitates lithium-ion and electron transport, which is beneficial to improving the cycle performance of the electrolyte for lithium batteries. Finally, the combination of positive and negative electrode active materials in this application can significantly improve the charge and discharge safety performance of lithium batteries.
[0169] Based on Examples 1, 9-10, and Table 1, it can be seen that by controlling the average primary particle size of the lithium-rich material in the positive electrode active material to be greater than that of the lithium iron phosphate material, the size of the pore structure formed in the positive electrode active material layer can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the positive electrode sheet to obtain a suitable areal density and forming a pore structure that is conducive to electrolyte wetting and excellent liquid retention performance. Furthermore, the combination of the two types of positive electrode active materials helps to improve the compaction density of the positive electrode sheet. The combined effect of these factors can improve the mass transfer kinetics performance in the electrode, reduce the liquid phase ohmic polarization caused by the electrolyte, and thus reduce the DC internal resistance (DCR) of the battery, which helps to improve the rate performance, cycle life, and energy density of the battery.
[0170] Based on Examples 1, 11-12 and Table 1, it can be seen that by controlling the average primary particle size of the silicon anode material and the average primary particle size of the graphite material in the anode active material, not only can the anode sheet obtain a compaction density range that has a good matching effect with the cathode sheet, but also a layer of anode active material with a suitable pore structure can be formed, avoiding lithium plating during the charging and discharging process of the lithium battery. When combined with the cathode sheet, it can significantly improve the dynamic performance and cycle performance of the lithium battery.
