2. Experimental Data

[0085] (1) Electrode plate resistance test: The ACCFILM diaphragm resistance test instrument was used, which uses the controllable voltage double probe resistance to directly test the overall resistance of the electrode plate, and the output measurement value was the electrode plate resistance. The test process was as follows: the probe was tested by applying a suitable surface flatness and pressing 10N. The test device was placed in an oven, the initial temperature of the oven was 20° C., the temperature increased to 150° C. at a heating rate of 2° C./min, and the data was recorded in real time.

[0086] FIG. 3 is a curve of the resistance value changes of the positive electrode plate of Example 12, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 as the temperature increases; it may be seen from FIG. 3 that the positive electrode plate of Example 12 is at 20° C.-115° C., the resistance of the positive electrode plate changes little with temperature. Within 115° C.-140° C., as the heat-sensitive polymer on the surface of the functional microsphere in the positive electrode plate fuses to form a plurality of continuous electron blocking layers, the coating layer formed current blocking, blocking the passage of ions and electrons, improving battery safety performance.

[0087] (2) Battery thermal test method: the state of the batteries prepared in Example 12, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 at different temperatures was detected by a British HEL brand—PhiTEC I (ARC) model adiabatic acceleration calorimeter. The inside of the instrument is heated at a rate of 0.15° C./min, and the temperature of the battery is tested. The test results are shown in FIG. 4. By comparing the ARC test results of the batteries prepared in Example 12, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it was found that the batteries of Comparative Examples 1-2 had thermal runaway at about 180° C., and the battery burned violently; thermal runaway occurs at about 195° C. in the battery of Example 12. The main reason: during the temperature of the battery from 100° C. to 180° C., there is SEI film cracking, and the positive electrode and the electrolyte react violently, especially in the range of 160° C. to 180° C., the battery of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 will have severe thermal runaway or fire, etc. When the temperature of the battery in the disclosure is raised from 100° C. to 180° C., a barrier layer is formed inside the battery when the sensitive-temperature is reached. The barrier layer effectively increases the battery failure temperature, prolongs the battery safety time, and increases the battery thermal runaway temperature.

[0088] (3) AC impedance test method of battery internal resistance: Using Metrohm PGSTAT302N chemical workstation in the range of 100 KHz-0.1 mHz, under the condition of 25° C., AC impedance test of lithium-ion battery was carried out.

[0089] (4) Test method of battery cycle performance: Lithium-ion battery was charged and discharged on the blue battery charge and discharge test cabinet, and the test conditions are 25° C., 50% humidity, and 1C/1C charge and discharge.

[0090] By comparing the EIS test results of the batteries prepared in Examples 1-12 and 1-2, it was found that:

[0091] 1) In the batteries prepared in Examples 1-12, the thickness of the positive electrode plate in the batteries prepared in each Example increases, resulting in increased lithium-ion and electron transport barriers, and increased battery impedance, resulting in a decrease in the number of effective battery cycles.

[0092] 2) In the batteries prepared in Examples 10-12: the difference is that the thickness of the positive electrode plate is different, the thickness of the positive electrode layer in Example 10 is 70 and the thickness of the positive electrode layer in Example 11 is 60 The positive electrode layer in the positive electrode plate increases, the lithium-ion and electron transmission paths inside the electrode plate increase, and the battery impedance increases, which leads to a decrease in battery performance;

[0093] 3) Experimental results of Example 12, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2:

[0094] Battery internal resistance: Comparative Example 1<Comparative Example 2<Example 12, the main reason is that there is no positive electrode coating layer in Comparative Example 1, resulting in a small internal resistance of the battery. In general, the internal resistance of the battery is not much different;

[0095] The number of battery cycles: Example 12≈Comparative Example 2>Comparative Example 1, the main reason is that there is no positive electrode coating layer in Comparative Example 1, although the internal resistance of the battery is slightly smaller in the early stage, but with the cycle of the battery, the polarization and dynamic internal resistance of the battery will increase, resulting in poor battery cycling.

[0096] To sum up, the test results of the battery cycle performance by comparing Examples 1-12 and 1-2 show that the lithium-ion battery prepared in the present disclosure may suppress the battery polarization and reduce the dynamic internal resistance increase during the battery cycle process; at the same time, the lithium-ion battery positive electrode prepared in the present disclosure has better uniformity and effectively improve the battery cycle life. The experimental results show that the lithium-ion battery prepared by the present disclosure has good safety.

[0097] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, made within the spirit and principle of this disclosure shall be included within the protection scope of this disclosure.
