Wherein, the formation process comprises the following steps: the simulated cell was first charged to 1.5V at 40mA (0.05C) and held at 1.5V for 10 hours to allow adequate wetting of the cell electrode sheet. After the constant voltage was completed, the battery was initially charged for 10 hours at a small current of 8mA (C/100) to form a stable and dense interface protective film, then charged to 4.35V at a current of 40mA (0.05C), and then discharged to 3.0V.
TABLE 1 specific types and contents of additives in examples 1 to 17 and comparative examples 1 to 2
The performance test procedure and test results of the lithium ion battery are described below:
(1) Expansion ratio test
The battery after completion of the formation of each example was charged at 0.5C (400 mA), and was charged at a constant voltage of 4.5V, further at a constant voltage of 4.5V, and at a current of 40mA. The full-charge battery was stored in a constant temperature oven at 60 ℃ for 5 days, 10 for each condition, and the average value was obtained. The thickness of the battery before and after storage is measured by a vernier caliper, and the expansion rate (%) of the battery is calculated by subtracting the thickness before storage from the thickness after storage and dividing the difference by the percentage obtained by the thickness before storage.
(2) Nickel element dissolution test
After the above battery was disassembled, the positive and negative electrode separator and the aluminum plastic film were repeatedly rinsed in 5mL of dichloromethane, and then a washing solution was subjected to Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) test, the test instrument being an inductively coupled plasma spectrometer of the samer product. 10 per condition, the results were averaged.
(3) High voltage cycling test of battery
The cells of the examples and comparative examples (10 for each condition, the average value was taken) were cycled between 2.75V and 4.5V at 1C (800 mA) for 200 times, respectively, by subtracting and evacuating the cell envelope. The tests were all carried out in a 25 ℃ incubator, and the capacity retention (%) was calculated as a percentage obtained by dividing the discharge capacity at the 200 th cycle by the initial discharge capacity at the first cycle.
The structures of the lithium ion batteries of examples 1-17 and comparative examples 1-2 tested according to the procedure and method described above are shown in table 2:
TABLE 2 test results for examples 1-17 and comparative examples 1-2
According to the results shown in table 2:
the lithium ion batteries of examples 1 to 17 have greatly improved expansion ratio, nickel dissolution rate and capacity retention ratio at high voltage, compared with comparative examples 1 and 2. The first additive and the second additive are not contained in the comparative example 1, and the second additive is only contained in the comparative example 2, so that the electrolyte is beneficial to reducing the expansion rate of the electrode and inhibiting the leaching amount of nickel element, and further improves the cycle stability of the lithium ion battery.
Further, the lithium ion batteries of examples 10 to 17 were lower in the dissolution rate of nickel element at a high voltage expansion rate and higher in the capacity retention rate than comparative example 2. Examples 10-17 contained only the first additive and comparative example 2 contained only the second additive. Therefore, the first additive is beneficial to reducing the expansion rate of the electrode and inhibiting the dissolution of nickel element, thereby improving the cycle stability of the lithium ion battery.
Examples 1-6 and examples 8-9 show that the structural formula of the alkyl thiomorpholine compound is the influence of the compound I on the performance of a lithium ion battery, and the battery test result shows that the consumption of the alkyl thiomorpholine compound has a great influence on the battery performance. The electrodes of examples 1-6 had lower expansion rates and lower nickel dissolution rates than examples 8 and 9, while the batteries of examples 1-6 had higher capacity retention rates than examples 8 and 9. Therefore, the mass range of the alkyl thiomorpholine compound is favorable for forming an interface protection film on the surface of the positive electrode, and meanwhile, the alkyl thiomorpholine compound can complex metal ions dissolved out from the positive electrode, effectively inhibit oxidative decomposition of electrolyte and stabilize the electrode/electrolyte interface.
The battery test results of examples 1 and 7 show that the combination of the alkyl thiomorpholine compound and different negative electrode film forming additives has a significant effect on the electrical performance of the lithium ion battery, and the proper additive combination scheme has a certain effect on further improving the electrical performance of the lithium ion battery.
In conclusion, the electrolyte is favorable for forming an interface protection film on the positive electrode, so that the dissolution of metal ions of the positive electrode and the oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte under high voltage are effectively inhibited; meanwhile, the stable SEI film is formed on the surface of the negative electrode, the stability of an electrode/electrolyte interface is maintained, and the cycle stability of the battery under high voltage is further improved.
