[0002] This application belongs to the field of energy storage device technology, specifically relating to a lithium-ion battery. Background Technology
[0003] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in digital products, energy storage, and new energy vehicles due to their long cycle life, high operating voltage, and lack of memory effect. As consumer demands increase, standards for thinner, lighter batteries and higher energy density are constantly rising. There are many methods to improve battery energy density, such as using new positive and negative electrode materials, replacing materials with lighter ones, and solid-state batteries. However, most of these technologies require long-term R&D investment and modifications to existing production lines, resulting in excessive resource investment. Increasing electrode compaction density does not introduce new processes, and its manufacturing process has gradually improved. However, it also faces the problem of reduced porosity due to high compaction density, leading to insufficient electrolyte wetting on the electrodes and deteriorating battery cycle and storage performance.

[0034] According to the lithium-ion battery provided in this application, compounds represented by structural formula 1 and / or structural formula 2 are added to the non-aqueous electrolyte as a first additive. During the battery formation stage, this first additive can participate in regulating the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the surface of the negative electrode, protecting the negative electrode material and preventing the decomposition and gas generation of the non-aqueous electrolyte at the negative electrode interface. However, with the increasing demand for energy density in lithium-ion batteries, the porosity of the negative electrode sheet is decreasing. Low porosity leads to poor wettability of the non-aqueous electrolyte. During the film formation process at the negative electrode, the first additive consumed internally cannot be replenished in time. After formation begins, an SEI film with uneven distribution and thickness is formed inside and outside the negative electrode. Due to the uneven thickness of the SEI film, it is prone to recombination and regeneration during long-term cycling or storage. This process consumes active lithium and increases impedance, which is detrimental to long-term cycling and high-temperature storage of the battery. To address this issue, this application further adds fluorobenzene and / or cycloalkanes as a second additive to the non-aqueous electrolyte and discovers that when the mass percentage a of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, the mass percentage b of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, and the porosity of the negative electrode material layer are all considered to be optimal, the following additives can be added: Meet the conditions And 0.005≤a≤1, 0.1≤b≤10, The resulting lithium-ion battery exhibits a long cycle life and high capacity retention after high-temperature storage. This is primarily due to the fact that the addition of the second additive enhances the diffusion efficiency of the first additive in the negative electrode material layer. During battery formation, this effectively promotes the decomposition and replenishment of the first additive at each interface of the negative electrode, ensuring the uniformity of film thickness at each location. Simultaneously, the porosity of the negative electrode material layer affects the wettability of the non-aqueous electrolyte within it, indirectly influencing the conductivity of the first additive. Therefore, by controlling the content of the first and second additives and the porosity of the negative electrode material layer, and ensuring their synergistic effect, the uniformity of the solid electrolyte interface film on the negative electrode surface can be effectively improved, reducing interface impedance and enhancing the protection against the negative electrode and non-aqueous electrolyte. This shortens the ion transport path, reduces impedance, and ultimately achieves stable battery cycling and storage. Detailed Implementation

[0039] The lithium-ion battery meets the following conditions:
[0040] And 0.005≤a≤1, 0.1≤b≤10,
[0041] Where a is the mass percentage of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, in %;
[0042] b represents the mass percentage of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, in %;
[0043] Porosity of the negative electrode material layer, in percentage (%).
[0044] The first additive, during the battery formation stage, can participate in regulating the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the negative electrode surface, protecting the negative electrode material and preventing the decomposition and gas generation of the non-aqueous electrolyte at the negative electrode interface. However, with the increasing energy density requirements of lithium-ion batteries, the porosity of the negative electrode sheet has decreased. Low porosity leads to poor wettability of the non-aqueous electrolyte, and the first additive consumed during the negative electrode film formation process cannot be replenished in time. After formation begins, an SEI film with uneven distribution and thickness is formed inside and outside the negative electrode. Due to the uneven thickness of the SEI film, it is prone to recombination and regeneration during long-term cycling or storage. This process consumes active lithium and increases impedance, which is detrimental to long-term cycling and high-temperature storage of the battery. To solve this problem, this application further adds fluorobenzene and / or cycloalkanes as a second additive to the non-aqueous electrolyte and finds that when the mass percentage of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte (a), the mass percentage of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte (b), and the porosity of the negative electrode material layer are... Meet the conditions And 0.005≤a≤1, 0.1≤b≤10, The resulting lithium-ion battery exhibits a long cycle life and high capacity retention after high-temperature storage. This is primarily due to the fact that the addition of the second additive enhances the diffusion efficiency of the first additive in the negative electrode material layer. During battery formation, this effectively promotes the decomposition and replenishment of the first additive at each interface of the negative electrode, ensuring the uniformity of film thickness at each location. Simultaneously, the porosity of the negative electrode material layer affects the wettability of the non-aqueous electrolyte within it, indirectly influencing the conductivity of the first additive. Therefore, by controlling the content of the first and second additives and the porosity of the negative electrode material layer, and ensuring their synergistic effect, the uniformity of the solid electrolyte interface film on the negative electrode surface can be effectively improved, reducing interface impedance and enhancing the protection against the negative electrode and non-aqueous electrolyte. This shortens the ion transport path, reduces impedance, and ultimately achieves stable battery cycling and storage.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the lithium-ion battery satisfies the following conditions:
[0046] When the mass percentage a of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, the mass percentage b of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, and the porosity of the negative electrode material layer are considered... Meeting the above conditions further will help improve the storage capacity retention rate, room temperature cycle life, and reduce the impedance of lithium-ion batteries.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage a% of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte can be 0.005%, 0.006%, 0.008%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.08%, 0.1%, 0.12%, 0.14%, 0.15%, 0.18%, 0.2%, 0.22%, 0.28%, 0.3%, 0.32%, 0.38%, 0.4%, 0.42%, 0.48%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, or a range of any two of these values.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, 0.005 ≤ a ≤ 0.6.
[0049] The first additive is used to regulate the formation of the solid electrolyte interface film on the negative electrode surface. If the content of the first additive is too low, it will be difficult to effectively improve the film quality of the carboxylic acid ester, resulting in insufficient long-term cycle life of the secondary battery. If the content of the second additive is too high, the excess first additive will easily trigger unnecessary side reactions in the non-aqueous electrolyte due to the high reactivity of the first additive, thereby affecting the service life of the non-aqueous electrolyte.
[0050] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage b% of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte can be 0.1%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.5%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.2%, 3.5%, 3.8%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 7.8%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, or any combination of these values.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, 0.5 ≤ b ≤ 5.
[0052] The second additive is used to improve the diffusion efficiency of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, ensuring that the first additive consumed at the film formation site during the battery formation process is replenished in a timely manner, and ensuring the uniformity of the negative electrode solid electrolyte interface film. If the content of the second additive is too low, the improvement on the uniformity of the negative electrode solid electrolyte interface film will not be significant. If the content of the second additive is too high, it will destroy the original solvation structure of the electrolyte, affect ion transport, reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte, and at the same time, the low viscosity of the electrolyte will reduce the internal stability of the battery.
[0053] In a specific embodiment, the porosity of the negative electrode material layer It can be a range of 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 35%, 38%, 40%, or any combination of these values.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment,
[0055] Porosity of the negative electrode material layer Porosity is related to the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Theoretically, lower porosity is more conducive to improving energy density. However, in practice, lower porosity makes it difficult for non-aqueous electrolytes to wet the material, affecting ion conduction efficiency. Therefore, if the porosity of the negative electrode material layer is low... If the porosity is too low, the electrolyte storage and permeation space will be too small, making it difficult to fully wet the electrode even with wettability-improving additives, resulting in insufficient uniformity of the negative electrode solid electrolyte interface film formed during the formation stage; if the porosity of the negative electrode material layer is too low... If the temperature is too high, it will be detrimental to the improvement of battery energy density. At the same time, the electrode structure is loose, and the negative electrode is prone to deformation and powder shedding during battery manufacturing and operation. In addition, the contact area between the active materials of the negative electrode is reduced, the transmission performance is reduced, and the battery capacity is affected.
[0056] Porosity of the negative electrode material layer This can be obtained through testing in the following ways:
[0057] The porosity of the lithium-ion battery anode material layer was tested using the gas adsorption method. The anode material layer was ground into powder, and the sample was kept dry. The sample was placed in a gas adsorption analyzer, and nitrogen gas was used at -77K to test the gas adsorption capacity under different pressures. Based on the adsorption test data, adsorption isotherms were plotted, and the porosity of the anode material layer was determined using BET theory.

[0116] In some embodiments, the non-aqueous organic solvent has a mass content of 65% to 90% based on the total mass of the non-aqueous electrolyte being 100%.
[0117] Specifically, based on the total mass of the non-aqueous electrolyte as 100%, the mass content of the non-aqueous organic solvent can be 65%, 68%, 71%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81.5%, 82%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 89%, 90%, or any combination of these values.
[0118] In some embodiments, the non-aqueous organic solvent further includes at least one of ether solvents, nitrile solvents, carboxylic acid ester solvents, carbonate solvents, and sulfone solvents.
[0119] In some embodiments, the ether solvent includes cyclic ethers or chain ethers, preferably chain ethers with 3 to 10 carbon atoms and cyclic ethers with 3 to 6 carbon atoms. The cyclic ethers may specifically include, but are not limited to, at least one of 1,3-dioxolane (DOL), 1,4-dioxane (DX), crown ethers, tetrahydrofuran (THF), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-CH3-THF), and 2-trifluoromethyltetrahydrofuran (2-CF3-THF). The chain ethers may specifically include, but are not limited to, dimethoxymethane, diethoxymethane, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, ethoxymethoxymethane, ethylene glycol di-n-propyl ether, ethylene glycol di-n-butyl ether, and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether. Because chain ethers have high solvation ability with lithium ions and can improve ion dissociation, dimethoxymethane, diethoxymethane, and ethoxymethoxymethane, which have low viscosity and can impart high ionic conductivity, are particularly preferred. Ether compounds can be used alone or in any combination and ratio of two or more. There are no particular restrictions on the content of ether compounds, and it is arbitrary as long as it does not significantly impair the performance of the high-pressure lithium-ion battery of this application. In the case of a non-aqueous solvent volume ratio of 100%, the volume ratio is usually 1% or more, preferably 2% or more, and more preferably 3% or more. In addition, the volume ratio is usually 30% or less, preferably 25% or less, and more preferably 20% or less.
[0120] In some embodiments, the nitrile solvent may be, but is not limited to, at least one of acetonitrile, glutaronitrile, and malononitrile.
[0121] In some embodiments, the carbonate solvent includes cyclic carbonates or chain carbonates. Cyclic carbonates may specifically include, but are not limited to, at least one of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), and butylene carbonate (BC); chain carbonates may specifically include, but are not limited to, at least one of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), and dipropyl carbonate (DPC). The content of cyclic carbonates is not particularly limited and is arbitrary as long as it does not significantly impair the performance of the lithium-ion battery described in this application. However, when using only one type, its content is typically 3% or more, preferably 5% or more, by volume relative to the total amount of solvent in the non-aqueous electrolyte. By setting this range, a decrease in conductivity due to a decrease in the dielectric constant of the non-aqueous electrolyte can be avoided, making it easier to achieve good high-current discharge characteristics, stability relative to the negative electrode, and cycle characteristics of the non-aqueous electrolyte battery. Furthermore, the upper limit is typically 90% or less by volume, preferably 85% or less, and more preferably 80% or less by volume. By setting this range, the oxidation / reduction resistance of the non-aqueous electrolyte can be improved, thereby contributing to enhanced stability during high-temperature storage. The content of the chain carbonate is not particularly limited, but relative to the total amount of solvent in the non-aqueous electrolyte, it is typically 15% or more by volume, preferably 20% or more, and more preferably 25% or more. Furthermore, it is typically 90% or less by volume, preferably 85% or less, and more preferably 80% or less. By keeping the chain carbonate content within the above range, it is easier to achieve an appropriate viscosity for the non-aqueous electrolyte, suppressing the decrease in ionic conductivity, and thus contributing to achieving a favorable range of output characteristics for the non-aqueous electrolyte battery. When using two or more chain carbonates in combination, it is sufficient to ensure that the total amount of chain carbonate meets the above range.
[0122] In some embodiments, fluorine-containing chain carbonates (hereinafter referred to as "fluorinated chain carbonates") are also preferably used. There is no particular limitation on the number of fluorine atoms in a fluorinated chain carbonate as long as it is 1 or more, but it is generally 6 or less, preferably 4 or less. When a fluorinated chain carbonate has multiple fluorine atoms, these fluorine atoms can be bonded to the same carbon atom or to different carbon atoms. Examples of fluorinated chain carbonates include dimethyl fluorinated carbonate derivatives, methyl ethyl fluorinated carbonate derivatives, and diethyl fluorinated carbonate derivatives.
[0123] In some embodiments, the carboxylic acid ester solvent includes cyclic carboxylic acid esters and / or chain carbonates. Examples of cyclic carboxylic acid esters include at least one of γ-butyrolactone, γ-valerolactone, and δ-valerolactone. Examples of chain carbonates include at least one of methyl acetate (MA), ethyl acetate (EA), propyl acetate (EP), butyl acetate, propyl propionate (PP), and butyl propionate.
[0124] In some embodiments, the sulfone solvent includes cyclic sulfones and chain sulfones. Preferably, in the case of cyclic sulfones, it is typically a compound with 3 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably 3 to 5 carbon atoms; in the case of chain sulfones, it is typically a compound with 2 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably 2 to 5 carbon atoms. The content of the sulfone solvent is not particularly limited and is arbitrary within a range that does not significantly impair the performance of the lithium-ion battery of this application. Relative to the total amount of solvent in the non-aqueous electrolyte, it is typically 0.3% or more by volume, preferably 0.5% or more by volume, more preferably 1% or more by volume. Furthermore, it is typically 40% or less by volume, preferably 35% or less by volume, more preferably 30% or less by volume. When using two or more sulfone solvents in combination, the total amount of sulfone solvent should satisfy the above range. When the content of the sulfone solvent is within the above range, a non-aqueous electrolyte with excellent high-temperature storage stability is preferred.
[0125] In some embodiments, the electrolyte salt is selected from lithium salts, including LiPF6, LiODFP, LiODFB, LiBOB, LiPO2F2, LiBF4, LiSbF6, LiAsF6, LiN(SO2F)2, LiN(SO2CF3)2, LiN(SO2C2F5)2, LiC(SO2CF3)3, LiClO4, LiAlCl4, LiCF3SO3, LiSO3F, and Li2B. 10 Cl 10 At least one of lithium chloroborane, lithium trioxazophosphate, lithium lower aliphatic carboxylic acid having four or fewer carbon atoms, or lithium tetraphenylborate.
[0126] In some embodiments, the concentration of the lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 0.1 mol / L to 4 mol / L. In a preferred embodiment, the concentration of the lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 0.5 mol / L to 2.5 mol / L. Specifically, in the non-aqueous electrolyte, the concentration of the lithium salt can be 0.5 mol / L, 0.55 mol / L, 0.6 mol / L, 0.65 mol / L, 0.7 mol / L, 0.8 mol / L, 0.85 mol / L, 0.9 mol / L, 0.95 mol / L, 1.0 mol / L, 1.1 mol / L, 1.15 mol / L, 1.2 mol / L, 1.3 mol / L, 1.4 mol / L, 1.45 mol / L, 1.5 mol / L, 1.6 mol / L, 1.7 mol / L, 1.8 mol / L, 1.9 mol / L, 2.0 mol / L, 2.1 mol / L, 2.2 mol / L, 2.3 mol / L, 2.4 mol / L, 2.5 mol / L, or any combination of these values.
[0127] It should be emphasized that the non-aqueous electrolyte provided in this application is not a precursor to a gel electrolyte or solid electrolyte, nor is it suitable as a precursor to a gel electrolyte or solid electrolyte. The reason is that the improvement of the electrochemical performance of the secondary battery in this application relies on the participation of the first additive in the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the negative electrode surface during the battery charge-discharge formation stage, and the continuous repair of the damaged solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film by the first additive remaining in the electrolyte during the long-term cycling of the battery. However, as a precursor to a gel electrolyte or solid electrolyte, there is a polymerization operation to form a gel electrolyte before the battery charge-discharge formation. In this polymerization operation, the first additive reacts with polymerizable monomers as an initiator, resulting in the consumption of the first additive, thus it cannot play a corresponding role in the charge-discharge formation and battery charge-discharge cycling process.
[0128] In some embodiments, the non-aqueous electrolyte does not include polymerizable monomers and / or prepolymers obtained by polymerizing polymerizable monomers.
[0129] In some embodiments, the polymerizable monomers include one or more of the following: acrylate monomers (such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate), acrylamide monomers (such as acrylamide, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide), vinyl compound monomers (such as polyvinyl alcohol, vinylpyrrolidone, vinylimidazole), epoxy resin monomers (such as bisphenol A epoxy resin), polyethylene oxide monomers, polyacrylonitrile monomers, and siloxane monomers.
[0130] In some embodiments, the non-aqueous electrolyte does not undergo polymerization under light or heating conditions.
[0131] In some embodiments, the non-aqueous electrolyte is in a liquid state after formation.
[0132] In some embodiments, the secondary battery further includes a separator located between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
[0133] The diaphragm can be a conventional diaphragm, such as a ceramic diaphragm, a polymer diaphragm, a non-woven fabric, or an inorganic-organic composite diaphragm, including but not limited to single-layer PP (polypropylene), single-layer PE (polyethylene), double-layer PP / PE, double-layer PP / PP, and triple-layer PP / PE / PP diaphragms.
[0134] The present application will be further illustrated by the following examples.
[0135] Table 1
[0136] Example 1
[0137] This embodiment illustrates the lithium-ion battery and its preparation method disclosed in this application, and includes the following steps:
[0138] (1) Preparation of positive electrode: The positive active material LiFePO4, conductive agent carbon black (SP), conductive agent carbon nanotube (CNT), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are mixed in a weight ratio of 96:1.5:0.5:2. N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) is added and stirred under vacuum until the mixture becomes a uniform and fluid positive electrode slurry. The slurry is evenly coated on both sides of aluminum foil, dried, rolled and vacuum dried, and aluminum leads are welded on using an ultrasonic welding machine to obtain the positive electrode plate. The thickness of the electrode plate is 120-150μm.
[0139] (2) Preparation of negative electrode sheet: The negative electrode active material graphite, conductive agent carbon black (SP), thickener sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and binder styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) are mixed in a weight ratio of 95:1:1.5:2.5, deionized water is added, and a negative electrode slurry is obtained under the action of a vacuum stirrer. The slurry is coated on both sides of copper foil, dried, rolled and vacuum dried, and nickel leads are welded on with an ultrasonic welding machine to obtain a negative electrode plate with a thickness of 120-150μm.
[0140] (3) Preparation of electrolyte: In an argon-filled glove box (moisture <10ppm, oxygen <10ppm), the solvent was mixed evenly at a mass ratio of ethylene carbonate (EC): ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC): dimethyl carbonate (DMC): propylene carbonate = 30:35:30:5. Fully dried lithium hexafluorophosphate was quickly added to the mixed solvent, and the following electrolyte additives were added, where the mass fraction of the corresponding substance is based on the mass fraction of the electrolyte: The electrolyte additives included 1 wt% ethylene sulfate, 3 wt% vinylene carbonate, and the first and second additives as shown in Table 1 by mass percentage. The mass fraction of lithium hexafluorophosphate was 12.8 wt%.
[0141] (4) Battery separator: 8µm polyethylene separator is selected.
[0142] (5) Preparation of lithium-ion batteries: A three-layer separator with a thickness of 20 μm is placed between the positive and negative plates. Then, the sandwich structure composed of the positive plate, negative plate and separator is wound up, flattened and placed in an aluminum foil packaging bag. It is then vacuum baked at 75°C for 48 h to obtain the cell to be injected with electrolyte. In a glove box with the dew point controlled below -40°C, the electrolyte prepared above is injected into the cell. After vacuum sealing, it is left to stand for 24 h. Then, the first charge formation is performed.

[0150] Using the first additive, the second additive, and their contents as shown in Table 1, the porosity of the negative electrode material layer is shown in Table 1.
[0151] Performance testing
[0152] The lithium-ion batteries prepared above were subjected to the following performance tests:
[0153] 1. Storage Capacity Retention Test: 1) Before storage, perform room temperature constant-capacity setting: charge at 0.5C constant current and constant voltage to 3.65V (cutoff current 0.05C), let stand for 5 minutes, discharge at 0.5C constant current to 2.5V, record the discharge capacity before storage, and charge at 0.5C constant current and constant voltage to 3.65V (cutoff current 0.05C). 2) Store in a 60℃ oven for 30 days. After storage, place on a rack for constant-capacity setting, discharge at 0.5C constant current to 2.5V, and record the discharge capacity after storage.
[0154] Storage capacity retention rate (%) = (discharge capacity after storage / discharge capacity before storage) × 100%.
[0155] 2. Room temperature cycle test: At 25℃, the battery is charged and discharged at 1C. The cycle capacity retention rate (%) = (discharge capacity of the nth cycle / discharge capacity of the 1st cycle) × 100% until the capacity retention rate reaches 70%. Record the number of cycles n. The number of cycles n is the cycle life.
[0156] 3. Impedance growth rate (%) after 2000 cycles at room temperature = (Impedance after 2000 cycles at room temperature / Impedance before cycling at room temperature - 1) × 100%
[0157] Impedance test method: At 25℃, using a battery with a SOC of 50%, the test was conducted using an electrochemical workstation instrument. The frequency range was set to 1MHz-1mHz, and the constant voltage perturbation amplitude was 5mV. The experimental data were recorded. The first data point with an imaginary part of 0 corresponds to the real part R1, and the second data point with a slope of 0 corresponds to the real part R2. Impedance = R2-R1.
[0158] (1) The test results obtained from Examples 1 to 22 and Comparative Examples 1 to 21 are filled in Table 2.
[0159] Table 2
[0160] The test results of Examples 1-22 and Comparative Examples 1-21 show that the mass percentage a of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, the mass percentage b of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, and the porosity of the negative electrode material layer are all related to the content of the first additive. There is a clear correlation between the mass percentage of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte (a), the mass percentage of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte (b), and the porosity of the negative electrode material layer. Satisfying the relation: And 0.005≤a≤1, 0.1≤b≤10, The resulting lithium-ion battery exhibits high high-temperature storage capacity retention, long cycle life, and low impedance growth rate during cycling. This is presumably because the addition of the second additive enhances the diffusion efficiency of the first additive in the negative electrode material layer. During battery formation, this effectively promotes the decomposition and replenishment of the first additive at each interface of the negative electrode, ensuring uniformity of film thickness at each location. Simultaneously, the porosity of the negative electrode material layer affects the wettability of the non-aqueous electrolyte within it, indirectly influencing the conductivity of the first additive. This results in a more complete and uniform film formation of the first additive at each location on the negative electrode material, which is more conducive to lithium-ion conduction and exhibits higher interfacial stability.
[0161] The test results from Examples 1 to 22 show that when the mass percentage of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte is a, the mass percentage of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte is b, and the porosity of the negative electrode material layer is... Further meet the conditions And 0.005≤a≤0.6, 0.5≤b≤5, At this time, the resulting lithium-ion battery exhibits the best overall performance.
[0162] The test results of Comparative Examples 2 to 13 show that when the mass percentage of the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte is a, the mass percentage of the second additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte is b, and the porosity of the negative electrode material layer is... If one or more parameters exceed the specified range, even if the relation can be satisfied: The requirements resulted in poor cycle life and high-temperature storage performance of the obtained lithium-ion battery, indicating that when the values of a, b, and... When the value is too high or too low, it will affect the film density and stability of the first additive on the surface of the negative electrode material layer, leading to a continuous increase in the SEI film thickness during charge-discharge cycles, and affecting the lithium-ion exchange efficiency between the non-aqueous electrolyte and the negative electrode. The test results of Comparative Examples 14-21 show that even when the values of a, b, and... The values all satisfy the range limits of their parameters, but Both excessively large and small values can lead to the deterioration of battery cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance, as well as the increase of impedance. This indicates that there is an interaction between the porosity of the first additive, the second additive, and the negative electrode material layer. Only when the three reach a good balance can they significantly improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries.
[0163] (2) The test results obtained in Examples 1, 23 to 33 are filled in Table 3.
[0164] Table 3
[0165] As can be seen from the test results of Examples 23-33, in the lithium-ion battery system provided in this application, under the condition of... And 0.005≤a≤1, 0.1≤b≤10, Under the premise that different first additives and different second additives can improve the cycle life, low impedance performance and high temperature storage performance of lithium-ion batteries, it can be seen that the battery system provided in this application is applicable to different first additives and different second additives, and different first additives and different second additives play similar roles in this battery system.
