The porosity of the first coating layer 21 and the porosity of the second coating layer 22 should be kept such that the porosity of the second coating layer 22 is always greater than the porosity of the first coating layer 21 when specifically set. In this embodiment, the porosities of the first coating layer 21 and the second coating layer 22 are set within the above range, so that the porosity of the first coating layer 21 and the second coating layer 22 can be avoided from being too large while the lithium capacity of the second coating layer 22 can be increased, the energy density of the battery is reduced, the capacity of the battery is affected, the porosity of the first coating layer 21 and the second coating layer 22 can be avoided from being too small, and the liquid-phase diffusion of lithium ions is limited.

In this embodiment, the ratio of the thickness of the first coating layer 21 to the thickness of the second coating layer 22 is set within the above range, so that the risk of lithium precipitation in the edge region of the negative electrode sheet is reduced, and meanwhile, the poor flatness of the surface of the negative electrode sheet can be avoided, and the quality of the battery is also prevented from being affected.
As an alternative embodiment, the thickness of the first coating layer 21 ranges from 17 μm to 35 μm and the thickness of the second coating layer 22 ranges from 15 μm to 33 μm.

For example: the particle size of the active material in the coating increases, resulting in porosity of the coating and coatingAnd thereby increase the pore tortuosity coefficient of the coating. The increased compacted density of the coating increases the ohmic resistance of the coating, thereby increasing the pore tortuosity coefficient of the coating. The increased proportion of binder in the coating formulation increases the ohmic resistance of the coating, thereby increasing the pore tortuosity coefficient of the coating. As an alternative embodiment, if a pore-forming agent is added to the coating, the pore-forming agent may be Polyacrylonitrile (PAA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), boron trifluoride (BF) 3 ) One or more of the following.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the OI value of the second coating layer 22 is larger than the OI value of the first coating layer 21. The OI value refers to the ratio of 004 peak intensities to 110 peak intensities in the x-ray diffraction test data, i.e., I (004)/I (110). The OI values of the first coating 21 and the second coating 22 are related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the particle size of the active material, the compaction density of the coating, and the like, and are also related to factors such as the proportion of the conductive agent, and by adjusting the OI values of the first coating 21 and the second coating 22 and ensuring that the OI value of the second coating 21 is greater than the OI value of the first coating 21, the diffusion of lithium ions from the middle region of the anode sheet to the edge region of the anode sheet can be reduced, thereby alleviating the problem of lithium precipitation at the edge region of the anode sheet and being beneficial to prolonging the cycle times of the battery.
Based on the above embodiment, the following steps are taken as OI 1 Indicating the value of OI of the first coating 21, expressed as OI 2 Indicating the value of OI of the second coating 22, OI 1 And OI 2 The relation is satisfied: OI is less than or equal to 1.05 2 /OI 1 Less than or equal to 2.05. Specifically, OI 1 And OI 2 Satisfied relationships include, but are not limited to: OI is less than or equal to 1.05 2 /OI 1 <1.2、1.2≤OI 2 /OI 1 <1.4、1.4≤OI 2 /OI 1 <1.6、1.6≤OI 2 /OI 1 <1.8、1.8≤OI 2 /OI 1 < 2.05. The OI value ratio of the two coatings is set in the range, so that the lithium precipitation phenomenon of the edge area of the negative electrode sheet is relieved, and meanwhile, the power performance, the charging multiplying power capability and the circulation capability of the battery can be ensured.

The mass ratio of the active material in the second coating layer 22 is 90% to 98%, i.e., the mass of the active material accounts for 90% to 98% of the mass of the second coating layer 22. Thus, the loading amount of the active material in the first and second coating layers 21 and 22 can be increased, which is advantageous for increasing the energy density of the battery.
In this embodiment, the active materials in the first coating layer 21 and the second coating layer 22 are independently selected from one or more of graphite, hard carbon, soft carbon, lithium titanate, and silicon-based materials.

TABLE 1
The lithium ion batteries provided in examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples were subjected to cycle performance test, and the cycle test method was as follows:
charging at 25deg.C to 4.2V, constant voltage charging at 4.2V to cut-off current of 1.5C, charging at 1.5C to 4.4V, constant voltage charging at 4.4V to cut-off current of 0.05C, standing for 15min, discharging at 0.7C to 3V, and standing for 15min.
