During the charging process of the secondary battery, lithium salt in the electrolyte can ionize free lithium ions, and the free lithium ions can react with antimony in the negative pole piece to form lithium-containing lithium 3 A film layer of Sb. When solvent molecules and fluorine-containing esters in the electrolyteWhen the monocyclic compound diffuses to the surface of the negative pole piece, the fluorine-containing ester monocyclic compound and Li on the surface of the negative pole piece are opposite to other solvent molecules in the electrolyte 3 Sb has stronger binding energy and is preferentially adsorbed to Li 3 The surface of the Sb film layer and promotes the decomposition of the fluorine-containing additive to generate a stable solid electrolyte interface film (SEI film) of which the main component is LiF. LiF is an inorganic compound, and has better stability compared with organic components in other SEI films. When the content of LiF in the SEI film is high, the film strength can be improved, cracking of the SEI film caused by expansion is resisted, co-embedding of solvent molecules is effectively prevented, damage to an electrode material due to co-embedding of the solvent molecules is avoided, and meanwhile decomposition of an electrolyte solvent is reduced. Therefore, the cycle performance of the secondary battery is improved, and the service life of the secondary battery is prolonged.
In the application, a fluorine-containing ester monocyclic compound is selected as the fluorine-containing additive. Compared with the fluorine-containing ester compound with more rings, the fluorine-containing ester monocyclic compound has lower steric hindrance and Li 3 The binding energy of Sb is stronger, so that Sb is favorably adsorbed on the surface of the negative pole piece in preference to solvent molecules and decomposed to form an SEI film with higher stability.

LiF is an inorganic compound, and has better stability compared with organic components in other SEI films. When the content of LiF in the SEI film is higher, the strength and the resistance of the film can be improvedThe swelling leads to the cracking of the SEI film, thereby effectively preventing the co-intercalation of solvent molecules and avoiding the damage to the electrode material caused by the co-intercalation of the solvent molecules.

The inventor finds that the secondary battery, especially at the position of a negative pole piece of the secondary battery, has the problems of solvent molecule co-intercalation and excessive solvent decomposition, and is an important influence factor for restricting the cycle performance and the service life of the secondary battery. The inventor of the application can effectively improve the cycle performance of the secondary battery and prolong the service life of the secondary battery by arranging the coating layer containing the antimony substance on the surface of the core of the negative active material and adding the special additive into the electrolyte.

Sb 2 O 3 +6Li + →2Sb 3+ +3Li 2 O、
3Li + +Sb→Li 3 Sb、
SbF 3 +3Li + →3LiF+Sb 3+

Table 2: results of Performance test of examples 1 to 10 and comparative examples 1 to 5
Figure BDA0003457175730000211
As can be seen from examples 1 to 10 in table 2, the secondary battery of the present application has good cycle performance and service life when the type, thickness, and mass percentage of antimony element in the coating layer of the negative active material in the secondary battery, the type, mass percentage of the fluorine-containing additive in the electrolyte, and the molar ratio of the particles containing antimony element to the fluorine-containing additive are within the ranges of the present application.
As is clear from the comparison between example 1 and comparative examples 1-2 in Table 2, the coating layer containing antimony element and the fluorine-containing additive were found to be indispensable. When a conventional negative active material is directly selected and is not coated with antimony, an SEI film formed on the surface of a secondary battery contains a large amount of organic components after the secondary battery is charged, so that the stability of the SEI film is insufficient, the SEI film is damaged due to the expansion of an anode, and active lithium is continuously consumed for reconstruction, so that the cycle performance of the secondary battery is poor; when the electrolyte is not added with the fluorine-containing additive, after the secondary battery is charged, the SEI film generated on the surface of the negative electrode material can absorb solvent molecules in the electrolyte, so that the capacity is quickly attenuated. Compared with the existing secondary battery, the secondary battery has better cycle performance.
As is clear from comparison between example 1 and comparative example 4 in Table 2, when an ester polycyclic compound is used as an additive, although it contains fluorine, steric hindrance increases due to polycyclic molecules, and Li is produced 3 The Sb film layer is difficult to adsorb and bind, and does not have adsorption priority compared to the remaining components in the electrolyte, and therefore, it also absorbs solvent molecules in the electrolyte, resulting in rapid capacity fading, failing to improve cycle performance of the secondary battery.
As is clear from the comparison between example 5 and comparative example 3 in the above Table 2, and between example 2 and comparative example 5, when the molar ratio of antimony element to fluorine-containing additive exceeds the range of the present application, li 3 Sb and the fluorine-containing additive can not form a good adsorption relation, so that the problem of excessive loss of active ions is caused, and the initial capacity of the secondary battery is reducedAnd the cycle performance of the secondary battery cannot be improved.
As is apparent from examples 5 to 7 and comparative example 3 in table 2 above, when the amount of the fluorine-containing additive added to the secondary battery is within an appropriate range, the improvement effect on the cycle performance can be secured; when the additive containing the fluorine additive in the secondary battery is too much, conditions such as an electrolyte system, solubility, viscosity and the like cannot be ensured to be in a good state. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of the fluorine-containing additive to be in an appropriate range.
As can be seen from examples 1 to 3 in table 2 above, when the content of antimony element in the secondary battery is within a suitable range, a good improvement effect on the cycle performance can be ensured; when the content of antimony in the secondary battery is too much or too little, the cycle performance of the secondary battery is affected to some extent. In order to ensure that a uniform and stable SEI film can be formed on the surface of the negative pole piece and the consumption of active lithium is low, the content of antimony element needs to be controlled within a proper range so as to ensure a good improvement effect on the cycle performance of the secondary battery.
The present application is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments are merely examples, and embodiments having substantially the same configuration as the technical idea and exhibiting the same operation and effect within the technical scope of the present application are all included in the technical scope of the present application. In addition, various modifications that can be conceived by those skilled in the art are applied to the embodiments and other embodiments are also included in the scope of the present application, in which some of the constituent elements in the embodiments are combined and constructed, without departing from the scope of the present application.
