Detailed Description
1. Lithium ion battery
A first aspect of the present invention is directed to a lithium ion battery comprising an electrolyte, a cell, and a housing for containing the electrolyte and the cell.
The battery cell comprises a positive plate, a negative plate and a diaphragm which is arranged between the positive plate and the negative plate at intervals; the positive plate comprises a positive electrode active material layer, wherein a positive electrode active material in the positive electrode active material layer is a lithium nickel-based active material; after the lithium ion battery is charged and discharged, a solid electrolyte interface film is formed on the surface of the positive electrode active material layer, at least the solid electrolyte interface film comprises sulfur element and boron element, and the weight ratio of the sum of the weight of the sulfur element and the weight of the boron element in the sum of the weight of the positive electrode active material layer and the weight of the solid electrolyte interface film is k, wherein the unit is wt%; taking the conductivity of the electrolyte as d, and the unit is mS/cm; the positive electrode active material layer has a compacted density ρ in g/cm 3 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the The weight percentage of nickel element in the lithium nickel-based active material is r, and r is 20 to 60 weight percent; the following relationship is satisfied: and (100. D. K. Rho/r) is less than or equal to 0.3 and less than or equal to 45.
The sulfur element and the boron element may be contained only in the solid electrolyte interface film, or may be contained in the solid electrolyte interface film and the positive electrode active material layer. Specifically, the sulfur element and/or the boron element may be contained in the positive electrode active material layer, or may be doped in the lithium nickel-based active material layer, or may be doped in the positive electrode active material layer in an amount smaller than the content in the solid electrolyte interface film.
The solid electrolyte interface film contains sulfur element and silicon element, and can effectively prevent the oxidative decomposition of electrolyte by controlling the solid electrolyte interface film within the range of the relational expression, and can effectively prevent the oxidative decomposition of electrolyte even under the condition of higher nickel content, thereby improving the cycle performance and the storage life of the battery cell. The higher the k content, the more stable the solid electrolyte interface film is demonstrated, which is also more resistant to oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte. The inventors found that, compared with other substances or elements contained in the solid electrolyte interface film, the matching of the above relational expression can better achieve both cycle performance and storage performance while ensuring battery energy density for a high nickel-based battery by controlling the weight ratio of elemental sulfur and elemental boron.
The solid electrolyte interface film is an SEI film, which is in a dynamic decomposition and synthesis process, but the total weight of sulfur element and boron element in the positive electrode active material layer and the solid electrolyte interface film is not changed basically, the value of k can be any value at the charging moment, and preferably, the value of k is 50% of the value under the electric quantity state. Specifically, the lithium ion battery can be charged to 50% of electric quantity, then the positive plate is disassembled, after the weight of the positive current collector is removed, the rest substances are dissolved by aqua regia, the concentration of S and Si is measured by adopting an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer ICP, and then the weight of S and Si in unit area is converted, so that the weight is converted into the duty ratio k.
The specific k test steps are as follows:
1) ICP test conditions for S and Si contents were set:
the test conditions for ICP were:
plasma flow rate: 15L/min;
auxiliary flow: 0.3L/min;
atomizer flow rate: 0.6L/min;
radio frequency power: 1300W;
sample flow rate: 1.5L/min;
number of repetitions: 1, a step of;
observation direction: radial direction;
2) Standard sample solutions of S or Si were prepared: directly purchasing solutions with the concentration of 1000ug/mL in national or industry standard; taking 10mL of standard solution to a 100mL volumetric flask, adding 2mL of 2% nitric acid, adding pure water to dilute to a scale, and shaking uniformly for later use; taking 5 volumetric flasks, and respectively preparing sample standard solutions with the concentration of 0ug/mL,0.25ug/mL,0.5ug/mL,1.0ug/mL and 2.5ug/mL by using the diluted standard solutions; after ICP test equipment is stable, establishing a standard working curve of the element S or Si according to the test condition of 1), wherein the correlation coefficient of the standard working curve is more than or equal to 0.9995, otherwise, re-manufacturing a standard solution until the standard coefficient of the curve meets the requirement;
3) Preparing a solution of a sample to be tested: taking the air-dried area as S 0 50% of SOC positive plate, weighing, and recording the residual weight as m after removing the weight of the positive current collector P Ensuring the weight to be 0.35-0.50g (accurate to 0.1 mg); dissolving in aqua regia, heating on electric plate for 10min, cooling, and fixing volume to 100ml (ensuring that solubility of S or Si element in sample to be tested is within standard curve; if solubility is not determined, testing if concentration exceeds standard, further diluting)
4) Analyzing a sample to be tested: testing the sample to be analyzed under the test condition of 1), and respectively calculating the S and Si element concentrations C in the 50% SOC positive plate by ICP equipment 1 、C 2 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Then converted into the area S according to the formula 0 The weight of the pole pieces S and Si;
wherein, the conversion formula is:
s weight M in 50% SOC positive plate S =C 1 *m P * Dilution factor/1000000/2;
si weight M in 50% SOC positive plate Si =C 2 *m P * Dilution factor/1000000/2;
k=(M S +M Si )/m P
the conductivity d of the electrolyte needs to satisfy the above-described relational expression as well. In general, the higher the conductivity of the electrolyte, the faster the ion transport rate of the electrolyte, and the faster the chemical reaction rate of the electrode, and thus the stronger the rate discharge capacity of the battery, i.e., the stronger the power performance. The larger the weight ratio of S, B multiplied by the conductivity, the more stable the electrolyte is, the faster the transmission of lithium ions, the stronger the cycling performance of the lithium ion battery, and the higher the capacity retention.
In the lithium ion battery of the present invention, the compacted density ρ of the positive electrode active material layer also needs to satisfy the above-described relational expression. In general, the higher the compacted density, the lower the porosity in the electrode, the less the area of contact of the electrolyte with the active material is, the less side reactions, the less the electrolyte is susceptible to oxidative decomposition, the more favorable the long-term circulation and storage. In addition, for the solid electrolyte interface film formed by the invention, proper compaction density interacts with the solid electrolyte interface film, on one hand, the solid electrolyte interface film can play a role in preventing the oxidative decomposition of electrolyte, and meanwhile, the compaction density can synchronously reduce the contact probability of the electrolyte and active substances, so that the cycle performance and the storage performance are improved; on the other hand, the transportation of lithium ions is not affected due to the too low compaction density, so that the electrochemical performance is reduced.
The inventor finds that the product of the compaction density rho and k and d and the nickel content r can not only effectively improve the energy density of the battery, but also consider the cycle performance and the storage performance of the battery under the condition that the product accords with the relation. Generally, the higher the content of nickel element, the higher the charge-discharge capacity of the unit active material, but the higher the chemical activity of nickel element, the more easily the electrolyte is decomposed, resulting in rapid decay of the cell capacity; the invention synchronously controls rho, k and d, and can effectively reduce the risk of oxidative decomposition of electrolyte, thereby taking into account the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery under the condition of ensuring the energy density of the battery.
Specifically, the above relation may be: 0.3 & lt (100.d.k.ρ/r) & lt 3 & lt 1 & gt (100.d.k.ρ/r) & lt 5 & lt 3 & lt (100.d.k.ρ/r) & lt 5 & lt (100.d.k.ρ/r) & lt 8 & lt (100.d.k.ρ/r) & lt 10 & lt (100.d.k.ρ/r) & lt 13 & lt (100.d.k.ρ/r) & lt 15 & lt 100.d.k.ρ/r) & lt 18 & lt (100.d.k.ρ/r) & lt 20 & lt 20 < 23, 23 < 100.d.k.ρ/r < 25, 25 < 100.d.k.ρ/r < 28, 28 < 30, 30 < 100.d.k.ρ/r < 33, 33 < 35, 35 < 100.d.k.ρ/r < 35, 38 < 40 or 40 < 100.d.k.ρ/r < 45. Preferably, when the relational expression satisfies 0.5.ltoreq.100.d.k.ρ/r.ltoreq.25, the lithium ion battery has better energy density, cycle performance and storage performance. More preferably, when the relational expression satisfies 5.ltoreq.100.d.k.ρ/r.ltoreq.23, the lithium ion battery has better energy density, cycle performance and storage performance.
The weight percentage r of nickel element in the lithium nickel-based active material can be 20 to 25 weight percent, 25 to 30 weight percent, 30 to 35 weight percent, 30 to 40 weight percent, 40 to 45 weight percent, 45 to 50 weight percent, 50 to 55 weight percent or 55 to 60 weight percent. Preferably, r is 30 to 50wt%. The above-mentioned contents have been higher nickel contents than the conventional nickel setting contents. In contrast, the higher the nickel content is, the higher the energy density of the lithium ion battery is, but based on the battery integrity, the energy density of the battery can be better ensured only by ensuring that r, k, d and ρ meet the above relational expression, so that the energy density is more approximate to the theoretical energy density, and the cycle performance and the storage performance are simultaneously considered.
In some embodiments, k is 0.01wt% to 0.2wt%. Specifically, k may be 0.01 to 0.02wt%, 0.02 to 0.03wt%, 0.03 to 0.04wt%, 0.04 to 0.05wt%, 0.05 to 0.06wt%, 0.06 to 0.07wt%, 0.07 to 0.08wt%, 0.08 to 0.09wt%, 0.09 to 0.10wt%, 0.10 to 0.11wt%, 0.11 to 0.12wt%, 0.12 to 0.13wt%, 0.13 to 0.14wt%, 0.14 to 0.15wt%, 0.15 to 0.16wt%, 0.16 to 0.17wt%, 0.17 to 0.18wt%, 0.18 to 0.19wt%, or 0.19 to 0.20wt%. Preferably, k is 0.1wt% to 0.2wt% in accordance with the above relational expression. The more stable the generated solid electrolyte interface film is, the more effectively the side reaction between the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte can be prevented, and the oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte can be prevented, so that the cycle life of the battery can be effectively prolonged, and the capacity retention rate can be maintained.
In some embodiments, the electrolyte includes a solvent, a lithium salt, and an additive including a sulfur-containing compound and a boron-containing compound; at least a part of the sulfur element in the sulfur-containing compound and at least a part of the boron element in the boron-containing compound migrate to the positive electrode active material layer to form a solid electrolyte interface film on the surface thereof. The sulfur-containing compound and the boron-containing compound in the electrolyte can participate in the formation of the solid electrolyte interface film, and the sulfur element and the boron element remain in the interface film, so that a foundation is provided for preventing the electrolyte from oxidative decomposition subsequently.
In some embodiments, the mass percent of sulfur-containing compounds in the electrolyte is 0.01 to 3.0wt%; the mass percentage of the boron-containing compound in the electrolyte is 0.01-3.0wt%. The content of the two components is controlled to enable k to be in the range, and the battery has better cycle performance and storage performance by matching the relational expression.
In some embodiments, the sulfur-containing compound is at least one of 1, 3-propane sultone, vinyl sulfate, methylene methylsulfonate, 1-propylene-1, 3-sultone, 4-ethylethylene sulfate, 4-propylethylene sulfate, propylene sulfate, 1, 4-butane sultone, ethylene sulfite, dimethyl sulfite, and diethyl sulfite; the boron-containing compound is at least one of lithium dioxalate borate, lithium difluorooxalate borate and lithium tetrafluoroborate. Compared with other conventional electrolyte additives, the sulfur element and the boron element can participate in the formation of the solid electrolyte interface film and are matched with rho, r and d, so that the battery has better energy density, cycle performance and storage performance on the premise of meeting the relational expression.

In some embodiments, the electrolyte has a conductivity d, measured at 25 ℃, of from 5 to 12mS/cm. Specifically, d may be 5 to 6mS/cm, 6 to 7mS/cm, 7 to 8mS/cm, 8 to 9mS/cm, 9 to 10mS/cm, 10 to 11mS/cm, or 11 to 12mS/cm. Preferably, d is 8 to 12mS/cm. More preferably, d is 10 mS/cm. The selection of the above relation and the selection of k, r and ρ should be matched under the preferable d, so that the lithium ion battery has better energy density, cycle performance and storage performance.

See example 1 the following examples 2-29 are set forth with the difference that the values of k, d, ρ, r are given in table 1 below.
Performance tests, including cycle performance tests and high temperature storage performance tests, were performed on the lithium ion batteries obtained in examples 1 to 29.

TABLE 1
As can be seen from the comparison of the above embodiments 1 to 29, the high nickel lithium ion battery provided by the present invention can better ensure that the battery has high energy density and better cycle performance and storage performance on the premise that the d, k, ρ and r satisfy the above relation, and can greatly improve the endurance capacity of the battery when used as a power battery, and further widen the application range of the lithium ion battery.
Specifically, as can be seen from the comparison of examples 1 to 8, as the conductivity d increases, the value of (100·d·k·ρ)/r increases as a molecule, and the cycle performance and storage performance of the lithium ion battery also improve. It is also evident from comparison of examples 6 and 16 to 22 that the higher the compacted density of the positive electrode active material layer is, (100·d·k·ρ)/r value is, the higher the cycle performance and storage performance of the lithium ion battery are improved.
In addition, as can be seen from the comparison of examples 6, 9 to 15, as the contents of S and B increase, the larger the value of k is, the larger the obtained value of (100·d·k·ρ)/r is, the more stable the generated solid electrolyte interface film is, the more effective the blocking of the contact of the electrolyte with the positive electrode active material is, thereby greatly relieving the oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte; however, if the k value is too large, the (100·d·k·ρ)/r value is beyond the above-mentioned protection range, the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery are adversely affected, which may be because the transportation of lithium ions is hindered even after the interfacial film thickness is too thick, thereby degrading the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery. In addition, by combining the comparison of examples 23-29, it can be further seen that the strong connection exists between k and r, and k which is matched with 0.20% is more suitable when the nickel content is 30%, so that the high-temperature storage capacity recovery can reach more than 99% in example 13; whereas a 20% nickel content preferably matches 0.10% k; however, at 40% higher nickel levels, k, either set at 0.20% or raised to higher levels, fails to give a higher degree of release of theoretical energy density, which may be a result of overall system impact. Therefore, the synergistic effect of d, k, rho and r is also demonstrated, and for the high-nickel lithium ion battery, the synchronous regulation and control of the data of the four can lead the lithium ion battery to have better cycle performance and storage performance on the premise of higher energy density under the condition of meeting the above relational expression.
In conclusion, the high-nickel-base positive electrode battery provided by the invention can ensure that the battery also has better cycle performance and storage performance on the premise of higher nickel content, and solves the problem that the existing nickel-base positive electrode battery cannot simultaneously consider the energy density, the cycle performance and the storage performance.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but is intended to be capable of modification, substitution or variation in light thereof, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the present teachings. In addition, although specific terms are used in the present specification, these terms are for convenience of description only and do not limit the present invention in any way.
