In the process of cyclic charge and discharge of the lithium battery, lithium ions are repeatedly inserted into and inserted out of the positive and negative electrode materials, and the active materials are repeatedly contracted and expanded along with the positive and negative electrode materials, so that the active materials are inactivated, the active lithium is gradually reduced, and finally the available capacity of the battery is gradually reduced. Therefore, it is a common practice in the industry to supplement active lithium to a battery to improve the battery life. At present, the lithium supplement technology in the industry includes two technical routes of lithium supplement for a negative electrode and lithium supplement for a positive electrode.
The lithium supplementing technology for the negative electrode is mainly used for supplementing active lithium to the negative electrode to provide an additional lithium source, but because the metal lithium is very active, the requirements on the operating environment and equipment are very strict, and the problems of high production cost and low product percent of pass exist. The positive electrode lithium supplement technology is mainly characterized in that a lithium compound with reducing capability is added into a positive electrode material of a battery, and the lithium compound is oxidized and decomposed in the first charging process to release an irreversible lithium source so as to supplement an additional lithium source. This method is relatively simple to implement compared with the negative electrode lithium replenishing technique, but has a problem that the lithium replenishing efficiency is low and the decomposition product of the added lithiated compound remains. Therefore, the lithium supplementing effect of the scheme is not good.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention will now be described with reference to specific examples, which are intended to be illustrative only and not to be limiting in any way.
Example 1
In the present embodiment, there is provided a lithium battery including a battery case having an accommodation space, a nonaqueous electrolyte solution accommodated in the accommodation space, one or more battery pole pieces soaked in the nonaqueous electrolyte solution; the battery pole core comprises a negative pole piece, a diaphragm and a positive pole piece; a separation layer is arranged between the battery pole cores and/or outside the battery pole cores;
the separator layer comprises an aluminum alloy of metallic lithium; the separation layer is communicated with the positive electrode of the battery pole core.
Understandably, the battery case has a housing space for housing the nonaqueous electrolyte solution, the battery core 1, the separator 2, and the like. The battery shell can be an aluminum shell or other metal materials, and the material of the battery shell is not limited and can be arranged according to actual needs. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution is an electrolyte solution having ion conductivity. The battery core 1 includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Specifically, the battery core 1 is composed of a positive electrode sheet 103, a negative electrode sheet 102, and a separator 101 for insulating between the positive electrode sheet 103 and the negative electrode sheet 102, and the like, stacked or wound. The battery core 1 shown in fig. 1 and 2 is composed of a stack of a positive electrode sheet 103, a negative electrode sheet 102, a separator 101 for insulating the positive electrode sheet 103 from the negative electrode sheet 102, and the like. Both the positive electrode tab 103 and the negative electrode tab 102 contain an active material. Specifically, the active material of the positive electrode sheet 103 may be a lithium iron phosphate material, and the active material of the negative electrode sheet 102 may be artificial graphite. The separator 2 is an aluminum alloy containing metallic lithium. Meanwhile, the separator 2 is in communication with the positive electrode of the battery cell, that is, the separator 2 is in communication with the positive electrode tab 103 of the battery cell 1. The separator is not particularly limited in size, but preferably, the separator 2 has the same size as the positive electrode sheet 103. When the separation layer 2 is communicated with the positive pole of the battery pole core, the separation layer 2 and the positive pole of the battery pole core generate an electronic channel, lithium ions are released from the separation layer 2 under the action of potential difference between the separation layer and the positive pole and enter electrolyte, and then the lithium ions are embedded into the positive pole of the battery pole core to compensate the irreversible lithium loss of the lithium battery in the circulating charge and discharge process. The irreversible lithium loss refers to the loss of active lithium gradually reduced as the active materials of the positive and negative electrodes repeatedly contract and expand in the process of cyclic charge and discharge of the lithium battery, so that the active materials are inactivated or the surface films of the positive and negative electrodes are continuously damaged and repaired.
In the lithium battery provided by the invention, the separation layer 2 containing the metal lithium is communicated with the positive electrode of the battery pole core 1, so that an electron channel is generated between the separation layer 2 and the positive electrode of the battery pole core 1. Under the drive of the potential difference, lithium ions enter the electrolyte from the separation layer 2 and are inserted into the positive electrode of the battery pole core 1 through the electrolyte, so that the irreversible lithium loss of the lithium battery in the charge-discharge cycle process is compensated. Simultaneously, in the lithium cell discharge process, the lithium ion that releases from the separate layer 2 can not return and imbed in the separate layer 2, so, makes the life cycle of lithium cell obtain showing and promotes.
Example 2
The sum of a first capacity of lithium ions releasable by the separation layer 2 during cyclic charge and discharge and a second capacity of lithium ions releasable by the positive electrode active material of the battery pole core 1 is less than or equal to a third capacity of lithium ions which can be accommodated by the negative electrode active material of the battery pole core 1.
Understandably, the first capacity refers to the total capacity of all the separator layers 2 containing metallic lithium installed in the lithium battery, which can additionally release supplemental lithium ions to the battery pole piece 1. The second capacity refers to a total capacity of lithium ions releasable by the positive active materials of all the battery cells 1 of the lithium battery. The third capacity refers to the total capacity of lithium ions that the negative active material of all battery pole cores 1 of the lithium battery can be replenished with. In order to ensure that the positive electrode of the battery can provide all lithium sources, the negative electrode can be completely accommodated to prevent the lithium from generating dendrites excessively, and the amount of the aluminum alloy cannot be too large. The amount of the aluminum alloy, and the lithium content in the aluminum alloy can be controlled to control the added lithium source, so that a desired value of the battery life can be obtained.
Example 3
The material of the separator 2 is an aluminum alloy containing metallic lithium. Wherein, the aluminum alloy can also comprise one or more of elements such as silicon, magnesium, manganese, titanium, zirconium, boron, strontium, phosphorus, sulfur, carbon and the like. And are not limited thereto. Optionally, the content of the metallic lithium in the aluminum alloy ranges from 0.1% to 10%. That is, within the above-mentioned content range of the metallic lithium, the chemical stability of the aluminum alloy is good.
Example 4
When the content of metallic lithium in the aluminum alloy is too low, the amount of lithium supplied is insufficient, and when the content is too high, the chemical stability of the aluminum alloy is deteriorated. Preferably, the content of metallic lithium in the aluminum alloy may be in the range of 0.4% to 7% to ensure the amount of lithium supplied and the stability of the aluminum alloy within the content range.
Example 5
The separator 2 has a porous structure, and the pores are channels through which lithium is released from the separator. The holes may be uniformly spaced on the separation layer 2, or may be arranged according to actual requirements, and are not limited herein. Meanwhile, the separating layer also has the heat dissipation effect, so that the lithium battery can better dissipate heat in the charging and discharging process.
Example 6
The separator 2 may be provided according to the form of the battery core 1. Specifically, when the battery core 1 is in a wound shape, the separator 2 is provided on at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the battery core 1.
Example 7
The separator 2 may be provided according to the form of the battery core 1. Specifically, when the form of the battery core 1 is a stacked (square or rectangular parallelepiped) shape, as shown in fig. 3, the separator layers 2 are stacked on both upper and lower surfaces of the battery core 1.
Example 8
The separator 2 may be provided according to the form of the battery core 1. Specifically, when the pole piece is formed by a combined stack (square or rectangular parallelepiped) of two battery pole pieces 1, as shown in fig. 4, separator layers 2 are stacked between the two battery pole pieces 1 and on both surfaces of the pole piece outer layers.
Example 9
The separation layer 2 is welded on the positive pole lug of the lithium battery. That is, the separator 2 is joined to the tabs in all the positive electrode sheets 103 of the battery core 1 by ultrasonic welding. In the embodiment, the separation layer 2 and the positive electrode lug are connected by welding, so that the connection is more stable and reliable, and the separation layer 2 is not influenced to release and separate out lithium ions to the positive electrode lug.
