The present disclosure relates to the field of battery, and particularly relates to a secondary battery.
Rechargeable batteries are widely used in the field such as mobile phones, computers, household electric appliances, electric power tools and the like due to significant characteristics of light weight, high energy density, no pollution, none memory effect, long service life and the like.

From the viewpoint of technical principle, a core affecting the charging speed of the battery lies in the negative electrode plate.

Compared with the existing technologies, the present disclosure at least includes the following beneficial effects: in the present disclosure, by matching the relationship between the volume of the channels in the negative film per unit area and the surface area of the channels in the negative film per unit area, a secondary battery having the characteristics of long cycle life, high energy density and fast charging capability at the same time is obtained.
Hereinafter a negative electrode plate and a secondary battery according to the present disclosure are described in detail.
Firstly, a negative electrode plate according to a first aspect of the present disclosure is described. The negative electrode plate comprises a negative current collector and a negative film, the negative film is provided on at least one surface of the negative current collector and comprises a negative active material. The negative electrode plate satisfies a relationship: 0.05≤Vp/Sp≤0.30.
Vp=a thickness of the negative film represented by T×a porosity of the negative film represented by P, a unit of the thickness of the negative film represented by T is μm.
Sp=a mass of the negative active material in the negative film per unit area represented by M×a specific surface area of the negative film represented by BET, a unit of the mass of the negative active material in the negative film per unit area represented by M is mg/cm2, a unit of the specific surface area of the negative film represented by BET is cm2/mg.
The negative electrode plate needs to undergo the following three electrochemical processes during the charging process of the battery: (1) the ions (such as lithium ions, sodium-ions and the like) deintercalate from the positive active material and enter into the electrolyte, and then enter into the channels of the porous negative electrode plate along with the electrolyte, so that a liquid phase conduction process of the ions in the channels of the porous negative electrode plate is completed; (2) the ions exchange charges with the electrons on the surface of the negative active material; (3) the ions enter into the bulk structure of the negative active material from the surface of the negative active material through a solid phase conduction process.
The liquid phase conduction process with respect to the ions in the channels of the porous negative electrode plate has a very important effect on improving the fast charging capability of the battery, and the liquid phase conduction process with respect to the ions in the channels of the porous negative electrode plate is closely related with the morphology of the negative film.
The inventors has done a large number of researches and found that, the fast charging capability of the battery is closely related with a ratio of a volume of the channels in the negative film per unit area (in the present disclosure the per unit area means 1 cm2) represented by Vp to a surface area of the channels in the negative film per unit area (in the present disclosure the per unit area means 1 cm2) represented by Sp. The larger the value of Vp is, the more beneficial for the liquid phase conduction process with respect to the ions in the channels of the porous negative electrode plate is, but the worse the electron conduction capability of the negative electrode plate is; the larger the value of Sp is, the more complicated the channel structure of the porous negative electrode plate is, the more unfavorable for the liquid phase conduction with respect to the ions is, but the better the electron conduction capability of the negative electrode plate is. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably adjust the ratio between Vp and Sp.
The inventors further found that, when the ratio of the volume of the channels in the negative film per unit area represented by Vp to the surface area of the channels in the negative film per unit area represented by Sp satisfies a relationship 0.05≤Vp/Sp≤0.30, the battery can have long cycle life, high energy density and fast charging capability at the same time.
The value of Vp/Sp needs to be more than or equal to 0.05, at this time, the channel structure of the porous negative electrode plate is more reasonable, the battery can be charged under a fast speed, otherwise the ions are prone to be directly reduced and precipitated on the surface of the negative electrode plate during the charging process of the battery due to the liquid phase polarization. Moreover, the value of Vp/Sp also needs to be less than or equal to 0.30, otherwise the channel structure of the porous negative electrode plate is too developed, the electronic contact between the negative active material particles is deteriorated, the charge exchange speed between the ions and the electrons on the surface of the negative active material is negatively affected, which is not beneficial for improving the fast charging capability of the battery.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a lower limit value of Vp/Sp may be 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14 and 0.15; an upper limit value of Vp/Sp may be 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.20, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29 and 0.30. Preferably, 0.05≤Vp/Sp≤0.20.
In the negative electrode plate of the present disclosure, preferably, the thickness of the negative film represented by T is 20 μm˜100 μm; more preferably, the thickness of the negative film represented by T is 30 μm˜80 μm. When the thickness of the negative film falls within the above preferred ranges thereof, the fast charging capability of the battery can be further improved while maintaining the advantage of high energy density.
In the negative electrode plate of the present disclosure, preferably, the porosity of the negative film represented by P is 10%˜70%; more preferably, the porosity of the negative film represented by P is 20%˜60%. When the porosity of the negative film falls within the above preferred ranges thereof, the retention capability of the electrolyte into the negative film is better, the infiltration of the electrolyte into between the negative active material particles is good, the interface charge transfer impedance between the negative active material and the electrolyte is lower, and the fast charging capability and the cycle life of the battery can be further improved.
In the negative electrode plate of the present disclosure, preferably, the mass of the negative active material in the negative film per unit area represented by M is 4 mg/cm2˜15 mg/cm2; more preferably, the mass of the negative active material in the negative film per unit area represented by M is 6 mg/cm2˜12 mg/cm2. When the mass of the negative active material in the negative film per unit area falls within the above preferred ranges thereof, the porous negative electrode plate can have reasonable channel structure, and the battery can also have high energy density.
In the negative electrode plate of the present disclosure, preferably, the specific surface area of the negative film represented by BET is 8 cm2/mg˜36 cm2/mg; more preferably, the specific surface area of the negative film represented by BET is 12 cm2/mg˜30 cm2/mg. When the specific surface area of the negative active material falls within the above preferred ranges thereof, the porous negative electrode plate can have reasonable channel structure, thereby avoiding the negative active material from affecting the performances of the battery by generating more side reactions with the electrolyte.
In the negative electrode plate of the present disclosure, preferably, the negative active material may be one or more selected from a group consisting of carbon-based material, silicon-based material, tin-based material and lithium titanate. The carbon-based material may be one or more selected from a group consisting of graphite, soft carbon, hard carbon, carbon fiber and mesocarbon microbeads; the graphite may be one or more selected from a group consisting of artificial graphite and natural graphite. The silicon-based material may be one or more selected from a group consisting of elemental silicon, silicon oxide, silicon carbon composite and silicon alloy. The tin-based material is one or more selected from a group consisting of elemental tin, tin oxide compound and tin alloy. More preferably, the negative active material may be one or more selected from a group consisting of carbon-based material and silicon-based material.
The inventors also found that, a coating weight of the negative electrode plate per unit area represented by CW also affects the liquid phase conduction process with respect to the ions in the channels of the porous negative electrode plate. When the relationship between CW and Vp/Sp is further adjusted to satisfy a relationship 20≤CW/(Vp/Sp)≤210, the battery can have higher fast charging capability without compromising the energy density. And a unit of the coating weight of the negative electrode plate per unit area represented by CW is mg/cm2.
When the value of Vp/Sp is larger, the value of the coating weight of the negative electrode plate per unit area represented by CW can be larger to make the battery have higher energy density. However, if the value of CW/(Vp/Sp) is more than 210, when other conditions are the same, the coating weight of the negative electrode plate per unit area represented by CW is larger, although the energy density of the battery is further improved, the fast charging capability of the battery is prone to decrease to a certain degree.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a lower limit value of CW/(Vp/Sp) may be 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40; an upper limit value of CW/(Vp/Sp) may be 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200 and 210. Preferably, 35≤CW/(Vp/Sp)≤150.
Preferably, the coating weight of the negative electrode plate per unit area represented by CW is 4 mg/cm2˜15 mg/cm2; more preferably, the coating weight of the negative electrode plate per unit area represented by CW is 6 mg/cm2˜12 mg/cm2. When the coating weight of the negative electrode plate per unit area falls within the above preferred ranges thereof, the porous negative electrode plate cam have good channel structure, and the battery can also have high energy density.

(5) Preparation of a Lithium-Ion Battery
The positive electrode plate, the separator and the negative electrode plate were laminated in order, the separator was positioned between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate so as to separate the positive electrode plate from the negative electrode plate, then the positive electrode plate, the separator and the negative electrode plate were wound together to form an electrode assembly, then the electrode assembly was put into a case, which was followed by baking, electrolyte injection, vacuum packaging, standby, formation, shaping and the like, finally a lithium-ion battery was obtained.
Preparation of the lithium-ion batteries of examples 2-10 and comparative examples 1-4 was similar to that in example 1, and the specific differences were shown in table 1.
Hereinafter test processes of the batteries were described.
(1) Test of the Dynamics Performance
At 25° C., the batteries prepared in the examples and the comparative examples were first fully charged at a constant current of x C, and then fully discharged at a constant current of 1 C for 10 cycles, then the batteries were fully charged at a constant current of x C, then the negative electrode plates were disassembled from the batteries, and the lithium precipitation on the surface of each negative electrode plate was observed. If the lithium precipitation was not observed on the surface of the negative electrode plate, the test process was repeated with a charge rate x C increased in increments of 0.1 C, until the lithium precipitation was observed on the surface of the negative electrode plate, and the test process was stopped, the charge rate x C at this time minus 0.1 C was the maximum charge rate of the battery.
(2) Test of the Cycle Performance
At 25° C., the batteries prepared in the examples and the comparative examples were charged at a constant current of 3 C and discharged at a constant current of 1 C, the fully charging and discharging process was repeated until the capacity of the battery decayed to 80% of the initial capacity, and the cycle number of the battery was recorded.
(3) Test of the Measured Energy Density
At 25° C., the batteries prepared in the examples and the comparative examples were fully charged at a constant current of 1 C and fully discharged at a constant current of 1 C, the measured discharge capacity at this time was recorded; at 25° C., the batteries were weighed by an electronic balance. And the measured energy density of the battery was a ratio of the measured discharge capacity of the battery discharged at 1 C to the weight of the battery.
When the measured energy density was less than 80% of the targeted energy density, the measured energy density of the battery was considered to be very low; when the measured energy density was more than or equal to 80% of the targeted energy density and less than 95% of the targeted energy density, the measured energy density of the battery was considered to be lower; when the measured energy density was more than or equal to 95% of the targeted energy density and less than 105% of the targeted energy density, the measured energy density of the battery was considered to be moderate; when the measured energy density was more than or equal to 105% of the targeted energy density and less than 120% of the targeted energy density, the measured energy density of the battery was considered to be higher; when the measured energy density was more than or equal to 120% of the targeted energy density, the measured energy density of the battery was considered to be very high.
It could be seen from the test results of table 2: the negative electrode plates of the batteries of examples 1-10 all satisfied a relationship 0.05≤Vp/Sp≤0.30, and the battery could have long cycle life, high energy density and fast charging capability at the same time. This was because the relationship between the volume of the channels in the negative film per unit area represented by Vp and the surface area of the channels in the negative film per unit area represented by Sp was good, the channel structure of the porous negative electrode plate was reasonable, the liquid phase conduction resistance with respect to the lithium ions in the channels of the porous negative electrode plate was smaller, therefore the negative electrode plate had good dynamics performance, in turn the prepared battery had long cycle life, high energy density and fast charging capability at the same time.
Compared with examples 1-10, the relationship between the volume of the channels in the negative film per unit area represented by Vp and the surface area of the channels in the negative film per unit area represented by Sp in comparative examples 1-4 was unreasonable, the value of Vp/Sp did not fall within the range (that was 0.05≤Vp/Sp≤0.30), therefore the battery could not have long cycle life, high energy density and fast charging capability at the same time.
Moreover, the thickness of the negative film represented by T preferably was 20 μm˜100 μm, when the thickness of the negative film represented by T falled within the above preferred range thereof, the fast charging capability of the battery could be further improved while maintaining the advantage of high energy density. The porosity of the negative film represented by P preferably was 10%˜70%, when the porosity of the negative film falled within the above preferred range thereof, the retention capability of the electrolyte into the negative film was better, the infiltration of the electrolyte into between the negative active material particles was good, the interface charge transfer impedance between the negative active material and the electrolyte was lower, and the fast charging capability and the cycle life of the battery could be further improved. The mass of the negative active material in the negative film per unit area represented by M preferably was 4 mg/cm2˜15 mg/cm2, when the mass of the negative active material in the negative film per unit area falled within the above preferred range thereof, the porous negative electrode plate could have reasonable channel structure, and the battery could also have high energy density. The specific surface area of the negative film represented by BET preferably was 8 cm2/mg˜36 cm2/mg, when the specific surface area of the negative active material falled within the above preferred range thereof, the porous negative electrode plate could have reasonable channel structure, thereby avoiding the negative active material from affecting the performances of the battery by generating more side reactions with the electrolyte.
When one or more of the thickness of the negative film represented by T, the porosity of the negative film represented by P, the mass of the negative active material in the negative film per unit area represented by M and the specific surface area of the negative film represented by BET did not fall within the above preferred ranges thereof but satisfied a relationship 0.05≤Vp/Sp≤0.30, the battery could still have long cycle life, high energy density and fast charging capability at the same time (for example 6).
As could be seen from the comparison among examples 7-8 and comparative examples 3-4, when the battery selected different kinds of positive active materials and different kinds of negative active materials, as long as the negative electrode plate satisfied a relationship 0.05≤Vp/Sp≤0.30, the battery could still have long cycle life, high energy density and fast charging capability at the same time.
Moreover, when the relationship between the coating weight of the negative electrode plate per unit area represented by CW, the volume of the channels in the negative film per unit area represented by Vp and the surface area of the channels in the negative film per unit area represented by Sp was further adjusted to satisfy a relationship 20≤CW/(Vp/Sp)≤210, the fast charging capability and the cycle life of battery could be further improved without compromising the energy density.
According to the foregoing disclosure and teachings of the present disclosure, a person skilled in the art may also make variations and modifications to the above implementing manners. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific implementing manners disclosed and described in the above, modifications and variations of the present disclosure will also be fallen within the scope of the claims of the present disclosure. Furthermore, although specific terminologies are used in the present disclosure, these terminologies are merely for convenience of description, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
