Therefore, increasing the charging speed of the lithium ion battery while increasing the energy density of the lithium ion battery becomes a key point of research in the lithium ion battery industry today. However, when the battery cell is disassembled at present, the lithium precipitation condition (edge lithium precipitation) of the edge area of the lithium ion battery negative plate is more serious than that of the negative plate body area, and the edge lithium precipitation phenomenon is more obvious when the charging rate is larger, so that the bottom and the top of the battery cell bulge in the long-term circulation process, and the deformation of a cover of the battery cell causes a safety problem.

The positive plate provided by the invention can reduce the dynamic capability of the edge region of the positive plate of the lithium ion battery under the condition of not reducing the energy density of the battery by mainly adjusting the dynamic performance of active substances in the edge region (namely the second coating region) and the body region (namely the first coating region) of the positive plate of the lithium ion battery, effectively improve the problem that the edge of the negative plate of the lithium ion battery separates out lithium to form lithium dendrite, thereby generating potential safety hazard, prolong the cycle life of the lithium ion battery on the premise of not reducing the energy density, and improve the problems of cycle expansion and safety.

The root cause of lithium analysis at the edge of the negative pole piece of the lithium ion battery is that the edge of the positive pole piece is in full contact with electrolyte, the concentration polarization of the edge area is smaller compared with that of a positive pole body (the middle area of the pole piece), the positive pole lithium ions are extracted and migrated more quickly in the charging process, the current density and the lithium ion density of the edge area are the maximum, the potential of the edge area of the negative pole is lower, more lithium is inserted into the negative pole area corresponding to the edge of the positive pole piece in the same time, and finally lithium analysis in the area is caused. The solution to the problem of edge lithium deposition from the mechanical point of view requires the coating of the positive electrode active material in the edge region (i.e., the second coating region) of the positive electrode sheet with a kinetic property inferior to that of the bulk region (i.e., the first coating region) of the positive electrode sheet.

Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. It is to be understood that the following examples are only illustrative and explanatory of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All the technologies realized based on the above-mentioned contents of the present invention are covered in the protection scope of the present invention.
Unless otherwise indicated, the raw materials and reagents used in the following examples are all commercially available products or can be prepared by known methods.
[ Positive plate ]
The positive electrode sheet constructed as shown in fig. 1, includes a current collector, and a coating layer located at a current collector coating region (i.e., section bc in fig. 1); the coating comprises a first coating zone 2 and a second coating zone 1;
the first coating area 2 is positioned on the surface of the current collector coating area, and the contact surface of the first coating area 2 and the current collector coating area completely covers the current collector coating area;
the second coating region 1 is positioned above the first coating region 2 and includes a region E and a region E', which are respectively positioned at the long sides of the first coating region 2, and are independent from each other;
both the first coating zone 2 and the second coating zone 1 contain active substances.
The current collector further comprises a blank area 3, i.e. section ab in fig. 1, the blank area 3 being used for welding a tab.
The regions E and E' are symmetrically arranged on the long sides of the first coating region 2. The length of the regions E and E' is equal to the length of the first coating zone 2. The maximum width of the first coating region 2 is equal to the width of the current collector coating region or the positive electrode tab.
As shown in fig. 2 (a) and (b), the coating direction of the slurry of the positive electrode sheet is parallel to the long side of the current collector, and on the section of the coated region of the current collector perpendicular to the coating direction, i.e., the cross section along the wide side of the first coated region, the shapes of the region E and the region E' are triangles (structures (1) - (4) shown in fig. 2 (b)), the shape of the first coated region 2 is triangle (structure (2) shown in fig. 2 (b)), trapezoid (structure (4) shown in fig. 2 (b)), pentagon (structure (1) shown in fig. 2 (b)), and hexagon (structure (3) shown in fig. 2 (b)).
The horizontal cathetus of the triangular area E is located between the edge of the first coating zone (or positive plate) and the midline of the first coating zone (or positive plate), and the horizontal cathetus of the triangular area E' is located between the other edge of the first coating zone (or positive plate) and the midline of the first coating zone (or positive plate). I.e., point M and point M' are free to move between 5mm from the pole piece edge to the midline position. Wherein, the edge means the area which extends 0-15mm from the long edge of the positive plate to the central line of the positive plate; as shown in fig. 1, the width indicated by the section de is the edge area, but the position of the active material coating with poorer dynamic performance of the pole piece structure in the invention is not limited to the edge area in the invention. Wherein, the median line means the symmetry axis with the two long sides of the positive electrode tab. The width of the pole piece is determined by the cell model, such as model 466483, the width of the positive pole piece is 76mm, wherein the line position is 39mm, namely the M point and the M' point of the triangular area can freely move between 5mm and 38mm away from the edge of the pole piece.
The interfaces of the regions E and E ' with the first coating zone 2 have at least one bevel, i.e. at least a bevel formed by the hypotenuses of the triangle (i.e. MN, M ' N '). The bevel is a smooth and/or non-smooth (e.g., curved or stepped) bevel. As another example, the bevel may have a clear boundary with the first coated region, or may be interpenetrating with the first coated region.
The maximum thickness of regions E and E '(i.e. the vertical legs of triangular regions E and E') is less than (structures (1) and (3) as shown in fig. 2 (b)) or equal to (structures (2) and (4) as shown in fig. 2 (b)) the maximum thickness of the first coated region. Namely, the N points and the N' points of the triangular area can freely move in the thickness direction of the pole piece paste coating; if the coating thickness of the pole piece is 150 μm, the moving position of the point N and the point N' in the triangular area is more than 0 and not more than 150 μm, and when the moving position is equal to 150 μm, the thickness of the second coating area is equal to the maximum thickness of the first coating area.
The first coating region 2, the region E and the region E' enclose a rectangular or approximately rectangular region with a flat or approximately flat surface along the cross section of the wide side of the first coating region.
The active material in the first coating region 2 is referred to as a first positive electrode active material, the active material in the second coating region 1 is referred to as a second positive electrode active material, and the median particle diameter D of the first positive electrode active material50Smaller than the median particle diameter D of the second positive electrode active material50. The first coating region coats the region of the electrode active material having a smaller particle size more facilitates the movement of lithium ions inside the electrode material and thus exhibits better ion diffusion kinetics. The region of the second coating layer coated with the electrode active material having a large particle size is not conducive to the release of lithium ions from the inside of the material during charging, and thus, the negative electrode can be effectively prevented from failing to completely receive the lithium ions in a short time, which may lead to the occurrence ofPart of the lithium ions "bin" the problem of precipitating lithium at the edge of the negative electrode to form lithium dendrites.
The first active substance and the second active substance are the same or different, preferably different. For example, each may be selected from one, two or more of the following: lithium cobaltate, ternary materials, lithium manganate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, lithium vanadium phosphate, lithium vanadyl phosphate, lithium iron phosphate, lithium titanate and lithium manganese-containing base materials.
The first and second coated regions also contain a conductive agent, preferably in a lesser amount than in the first coated region, to impair the dynamic properties of the second coated region. For example, the conductive agent may be the same or different in the two coated regions; for example, the conductive agent may be selected from one, two or more of the following: conductive carbon black, carbon fibers, ketjen black, acetylene black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene.
The cathode material in the second coating region may be a cathode material of single crystal grains, and the cathode material of the first coating region may be a cathode material of polycrystalline grains. The polycrystalline particles have a shorter lithium ion bulk diffusion path and thus have less resistance and better kinetic properties than the single crystal particles to ensure that the kinetic properties of the first coating layer are better than the kinetic properties of the second coating layer.
The first and second coating regions may also contain the same or different binders. For example, the binder is selected from one, two or more of the following: polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and lithium Polyacrylate (PAALi).
In the following examples, the dynamic performance of the positive electrode sheet is improved mainly by adjusting the particle size of the positive electrode active material, the kind of the positive electrode active material, and the content of the conductive agent in the positive electrode sheet. The following examples mainly take the sectional structure (4) shown in fig. 2 (b) as an example to prepare the positive electrode sheet and the lithium ion battery thereof, but it should be noted that the positive electrode sheet structure of the present invention can achieve at least the same effect as the structure (4) by being applied to the other three sectional structures shown in fig. 2 (b).
