Secondary Battery

[0085] A secondary battery also known as a rechargeable battery or a storage battery refers to a battery that can be used continually by activating an active material in a charging manner after the battery is discharged.

[0086] Generally, the secondary battery includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, a separator and an electrolyte. During charging and discharging of the battery, active ions (e.g., lithium ions) are intercalated and deintercalated back and forth between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The separator is arranged between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, and mainly functions to prevent a short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode while allowing active ions to pass through. The electrolyte mainly serves to conduct active ions between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate.

Use of Compounds as Electrolyte Additives

[0087] An embodiment of the present application provides use of a compound shown in Formula I as an electrolyte additive:

##STR00014## [0088] where [0089] X is selected from

##STR00015##

Si and B;

[0090] n is selected from 3 and 4; and [0091] n R groups are independently selected from hydroxyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, C2-C6 alkynyl, C2-C10 alkenyloxy (optionally, C2-C6 alkenyloxy) and C2-C10 alkynyloxy (optionally, C2-C6 alkynyloxy), and at least one of the n R groups includes an unsaturated bond.

[0092] The positive electrode lithium supplement undergoes an irreversible phase change during the first cycle of charging, generating oxygen free radicals, which may further generate oxygen. The oxygen free radicals and the oxygen that may be generated easily lead to oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte, and the oxidative decomposition products further generate R+ substances. The R+ substances easily undergo a reduction reaction in the negative electrode plate, causing the SEI film to thicken, resulting in increase in the interface impedance, deterioration of the cycling performance of the battery, and even lithium precipitation, which also affects the utilization of the battery capacity. The R+ substances may include by-products such as H.sup.+ generated by the decomposition of the electrolyte salt due to water produced by the decomposition of the solvent in the electrolyte.

[0093] Although the mechanism is not yet clear, the applicant unexpectedly discovered that the electrolyte additive of the present application can capture R+ substances further generated from the oxidative decomposition products of the electrolyte, and suppress the reduction of the R+ substances in the negative electrode plate, thereby suppressing the thickening of the SEI film caused by the reduction of the R+ substances, and further suppressing the increase in the interface impedance caused by the thickening of the SEI film, so as to improve the cycling performance of the battery and improve the capacity and safety performance of the battery.

[0094] In some embodiments, in Formula I, n R groups are independently selected from hydroxyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, C2-C6 alkynyl,

##STR00016##

and at least one of the n R groups includes an unsaturated bond; and [0095] a, b, c and d are independently selected from 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

[0096] Therefore, the thickening of the SEI film caused by the reduction of the R+ substances in the negative electrode plate is further suppressed, the interface impedance of the negative electrode plate is further reduced, and the capacity and cycling performance of the battery are improved.

[0097] In some embodiments, in Formula I, n R groups are independently selected from hydroxyl, methoxy, ethoxy, ethynyl, propargyl, vinyloxy, allyloxy, propenyloxy, ethynyloxy, propynyloxy and propargyloxy, and at least one of the n R groups includes an unsaturated bond.

[0154] Therefore, the electrolyte additive used in the present application can capture R+ substances further generated from the oxidative decomposition products of the electrolyte, and suppress the damage of the R+ substances to the SEI film of the negative electrode and the thickening of the SEI film caused by continuous reduction of the negative electrode of the electrolyte, thereby suppressing the increase in the interface impedance of the negative electrode plate caused by the thickening of the SEI film, so as to improve the cycling performance, capacity and safety performance of the battery.

[0155] In some embodiments, the electrolyte additive may be added to the electrolyte in an adding mode of, but not limited to, actively adding to the electrolyte, dissolving or seeping from the positive electrode into the electrolyte, dissolving or seeping from the negative electrode into the electrolyte, or dissolving or seeping from the separator into the electrolyte.

[0156] In some embodiments, the mass proportion W.sub.1 of the electrolyte additive in the electrolyte is 0.005%-25%, optionally 0.01%-20%, more optionally 0.1%-10%, and further optionally 2%-5%. In this way, the cycling performance of the battery can be further improved while maintaining a relatively high battery capacity and improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0157] The electrolyte serves to conduct ions between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. For example, the electrolyte may be in a liquid, gel, or full solid state.

[0158] In some embodiments, the electrolyte is in a liquid state.

[0159] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes an electrolyte salt and a solvent.

[0160] In some embodiments, the type of the electrolyte salt is not particularly limited and may be selected according to actual needs. Specifically, the electrolyte salt may be selected from one or more of LiN(C.sub.xF.sub.2x+1SO.sub.2)(C.sub.yF.sub.2y+1SO.sub.2), LiPF.sub.6, LiBF.sub.4, LiBOB, LiAsF.sub.6, Li(FSO.sub.2).sub.2N, LiCF.sub.3SO.sub.3 and LiClO.sub.4, where x and y are natural numbers. The concentration range of the electrolyte salt is 0.5-2.5 M, optionally, 0.7-2 M.

[0161] In some embodiments, the type of the solvent is not particularly limited and may be selected according to actual needs. Specifically, the solvent may further include one or more of other types of chain carbonates, cyclic carbonates and carboxylates, where the types of the chain carbonates, cyclic carbonates and carboxylates are not specifically limited and may be selected according to actual needs.

For example, the electrolyte additive may include a negative electrode film-forming additive, a positive electrode film-forming additive, an additive for improving the overcharge performance of the battery, an additive for improving the high temperature or low temperature performance of the battery, and the like.

Positive Electrode Plate

[0164] The positive electrode plate usually includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector, and the positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode lithium supplement LieMOg, where M includes one or more elements of Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Zn, Mg, Ca, Cu, Sn, Mo, Ru, Ir, V, Nb and Cr; [0165] 2e6, optionally, e is 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, and e may also be a decimal in the range of 2-6; and [0166] 2g4, optionally, g is 2, 3 or 4, and g may also be a decimal in the range of 2-4.

[0167] Therefore, the positive electrode lithium supplement used in the present invention undergoes an irreversible phase change during the first cycle of charging, generating oxygen free radicals, which may further generate oxygen. The oxygen free radicals and the oxygen that may be generated lead to oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte, and the decomposition products further generate R+ substances. The electrolyte additive can effectively capture the R+ substances, suppress the damage of the R+ substances to the SEI film of the negative electrode and the thickening of the SEI film caused by continuous reduction of the negative electrode of the electrolyte, as well as suppress the increase in the interface impedance of the negative electrode plate, thereby improving the cycling performance, capacity and safety performance of the battery.

[0168] As an example, the positive electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite in its own thickness direction, and the positive electrode film layer is arranged on either one or both of the two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.

[0169] In some embodiments, the positive electrode current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, an aluminum foil may be used as the metal foil. The composite current collector may include a high molecular material substrate layer and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the high molecular material substrate layer. The composite current collector may be formed by forming a metal material (such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver, and silver alloy) on a high molecular material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), or polyethylene (PE)).

[0170] In some embodiments, the positive electrode lithium supplement includes one or more of Li.sub.2M1O.sub.2, Li.sub.2M2O.sub.3, Li.sub.3M3O.sub.4, Li.sub.5M4O.sub.4 and Li.sub.6M5O.sub.4, where M1 includes one or more elements of Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Zn, Mg, Ca and Cu, M2 includes one or more elements of Mn, Sn, Mo, Ru and Ir, M3 includes one or more elements of V, Nb, Cr and Mo, M4 includes one or more elements of Fe, Cr, V and Mo, and M5 includes one or more elements of Co, V, Cr and Mo.

[0171] In some embodiments, in the positive electrode lithium supplement, the valence state of at least one metal element other than lithium is lower than its own highest oxidation valence state.

[0172] In some embodiments, the highest oxidation valence state refers to a valence state obtained when all valence electrons (or outermost electrons) of an element are lost or transferred.

[0173] In some embodiments, the positive electrode lithium supplement includes one or more of Li.sub.6CoO.sub.4, Li.sub.5FeO.sub.4, Li.sub.3VO.sub.4, Li.sub.2MoO.sub.3, Li.sub.2RuO.sub.3, Li.sub.2MnO.sub.3, Li.sub.2MnO.sub.2, Li.sub.2NiO.sub.2, Li.sub.2CuO.sub.2, and Li.sub.2Cu.sub.kNi.sub.1kM.sub.pO.sub.2; and optionally, in Li.sub.2Cu.sub.kNi.sub.1pM.sub.pO.sub.2, 0<k<1, 0p<0.1.

[0174] In some embodiments, the mass proportion W.sub.2 of the positive electrode lithium supplement in the positive electrode film layer is 0.05%-15%, optionally 0.1%-10%, more optionally 1%-8%, and further optionally 1%-5%, for example, it may be 0.05%, 0.08%, 0.1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15% and the range consisting of any of the above values.

[0175] Therefore, the content of the positive electrode lithium supplement is within the above range, which can make up for the consumption of active lithium ions and make the battery have a higher gram capacity. At the same time, the electrolyte additive of the present application can effectively capture R+ substances further generated from the oxidative decomposition products of the electrolyte, thereby effectively suppressing the damage of the R+ substances to the SEI film of the negative electrode and the thickening of the SEI film caused by continuous reduction of the negative electrode of the electrolyte, and suppressing the increase in the interface impedance of the negative electrode plate, so as to improve the cycling performance, capacity and safety performance of the battery.

[0176] In some embodiments, the mass proportion W.sub.1 of the electrolyte additive in the electrolyte and the mass proportion W.sub.2 of the positive electrode lithium supplement in the positive electrode film layer satisfy the following relationship: 0.00033W.sub.1/W.sub.2500, optionally 0.0025W.sub.1/W.sub.240, more optionally 0.04W.sub.1/W.sub.25, W.sub.1/W.sub.2, for example, it may be 0.00033, 0.001, 0.003, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 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, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 10, 13, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50 and the range consisting of any of the above values.

[0177] When the mass proportion of the compound in the electrolyte and the mass proportion of the positive electrode lithium supplement in the positive electrode film layer are within the above range, the electrolyte additive can effectively capture R+ substances further generated from the oxidative decomposition products of the electrolyte, thereby effectively suppressing the thickening of the SEI film caused by the reduction of the R+ substances in the negative electrode, and suppressing the increase in the interface impedance of the negative electrode plate, so as to improve the cycling performance, capacity and safety performance of the battery.

[0178] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer further includes a positive electrode active material, and the ratio of the D.sub.v50 particle size of the positive electrode lithium supplement to the D.sub.v50 particle size of the positive electrode active material is 0.05-15, optionally 1-10, and more optionally 2-8, for example, it may be 0.05, 0.07, 0.1, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and the range consisting of any of the above values.

[0179] When the ratio of the D.sub.v50 particle size of the positive electrode lithium supplement to the D.sub.v50 particle size of the positive electrode active material is within the above range, the contact area between the positive electrode lithium supplement and the electrolyte can be kept within a certain range, so as to improve the ion conductivity of the positive electrode plate, thereby improving the capacity utilization of the battery and the rate performance after storage, while also suppressing the side reaction of the electrolyte and improving the cycling performance of the battery.

[0180] In some embodiments, the D.sub.v50 particle size may be measured by a common method in the art, for example, it may be measured according to the process in GB/T 19077-2016 Particle Size Distribution Laser Diffraction Method, and the instrument used may be a laser particle size analyzer.

[0181] In some embodiments, the active specific surface area of the positive electrode plate is greater than 0 cm.sup.2/g and less than or equal to 25 cm.sup.2/g, optionally, may be greater than 0 cm.sup.2/g and less than or equal to 20 cm.sup.2/g, more optionally, may be greater than or equal to 0.5 cm.sup.2/g and less than or equal to 20 cm.sup.2/g, and further optionally, may be greater than or equal to 2 cm.sup.2/g and less than or equal to 10 cm.sup.2/g, for example, 0.01 cm.sup.2/g, 0.05 cm.sup.2/g, 0.08 cm.sup.2/g, 0.1 cm.sup.2/g, 0.2 cm.sup.2/g, 0.3 cm.sup.2/g, 0.5 cm.sup.2/g, 0.7 cm.sup.2/g, 1 cm.sup.2/g, 2 cm.sup.2/g, 3 cm.sup.2/g, 4 cm.sup.2/g, 5 cm.sup.2/g, 6 cm.sup.2/g, 8 cm.sup.2/g, 10 cm.sup.2/g, 12 cm.sup.2/g, 13 cm.sup.2/g, 15 cm.sup.2/g, 17 cm.sup.2/g, 19 cm.sup.2/g, 20 cm.sup.2/g, 21 cm.sup.2/g, 23 cm.sup.2/g, 24 cm.sup.2/g, 25 cm.sup.2/g and the range consisting of any of the above values.

[0182] The active specific surface area of the positive electrode plate within the above range helps to reduce the gas production during the first cycle of charging, and improve the black spots on the negative electrode interface and the local lithium deposition problems on the negative electrode, thereby suppressing the increase in the interface impedance of the negative electrode, improving the cycling performance of the battery, and also helping to reduce the polarization degree of the lithium-ion battery and increase the capacity of the battery.

[0183] In some embodiments, the active specific surface area of the positive electrode plate is the ratio of the active surface area of the positive electrode plate to the weight of the positive electrode plate, and the unit may be, for example, cm.sup.2/g. The active surface area of the positive electrode plate refers to the effective active surface area on the positive electrode plate, which is generally measured by introducing an electrochemical redox couple as a probe molecule and measuring electrochemical behaviors.

[0184] In some embodiments, the test method for the active surface area of the positive electrode is generally as follows: when a certain potential is applied, electrons are transferred to active sites on the surface of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode plate through the current collector, and then probe molecules undergo redox reactions. By testing cyclic voltage-current curves of the probe molecules on the surface of the positive electrode active material at different scan rates, the oxidation peak current and the reduction peak current are obtained, a slope is obtained by fitting the oxidation peak current or the reduction peak current with the scan rate, and the active surface area of the positive electrode plate is calculated according to the Randles Sevick equation.

[0185] Specifically, the test method for the active surface area of the positive electrode is as follows: the positive electrode plate to be tested, the negative electrode plate and the electrolyte containing probe molecules are assembled into a button half-cell; in a room temperature environment, a Chenhua electrochemical workstation (model CHI660E) is used to test cyclic voltage-current curves of the button half-cell at different scan rates V in the range of 0.01 mV/s to 3.50 mV/s, and the scanning voltage range is 2.9 V to 3.5 V to obtain a series of oxidation peak currents i.sub.p (oxidation) and reduction peak currents i.sub.p (reduction); and the square root of the scan rate V is used as an X axis, and a series of oxidation peak currents i.sub.p are used as a Y axis for plotting to obtain a slope K. According to the Randles Sevick equation i.sub.p=2.6910.sup.5n.sup.2/3cD.sup.1/2AV.sup.1/2, a slope K=2.6910.sup.5n.sup.23cD.sup.1/2A is obtained, where n is an electron transfer number related to the type of probe molecules, and n is 1 in this test method; D is a diffusion coefficient, and D is 2.110.sup.6 cm.sup.2/s in this test method; A is an active surface area of the positive electrode plate; and c is the concentration of probe molecules in the electrolyte. The active surface area A of the positive electrode plate is calculated according to the above formula.

[0186] The electrolyte in the above test method is a common electrolyte. For example, ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) may be mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1:1, and then, the fully dried lithium salt LiPF.sub.6 is dissolved in a mixed organic solvent at a ratio of 1 mol/L.

[0187] The redox potential of the probe molecules in the above test method may be, for example, 2 V to 4 V. The concentration of the probe molecules may be, for example, 0.03 mol/L to 0.08 mol/L, and optionally, 0.05 mol/L. In the above test method, the probe molecules include, but are not limited to, hexaammonium ruthenium, ferric chloride and ferrocene.

This was one charge and discharge process. The discharge capacity at this time was recorded as the discharge capacity of the battery at the first cycle. Charge and discharge cycles were repeated in this way, the cycle capacity retention rate of the battery was calculated according to the following formula, and the number of cycles corresponding to when the cycle capacity retention rate reaches 80% was recorded.

This was one charge and discharge process. The lithium-ion battery was charged and discharged for 50 cycles according to this cycle process, then the negative electrode plate was disassembled still according to the above method, and the anode interface SEI film impedance Rt after 50 cycles was tested.
