Background
Lithium batteries are batteries using a nonaqueous electrolyte solution, with lithium metal or a lithium alloy as an anode material. When the lithium battery works, lithium ions participate in oxidation-reduction reaction to convert chemical energy into electric energy. The evaluation indexes of the lithium battery product comprise energy density, cycle life, rate capability (discharge performance under different currents), safety performance, applicable temperature and the like. The difference of different anode materials is obvious, and the application fields are different. Common positive electrode materials can be classified into Lithium Cobaltate (LCO), lithium Manganate (LMO), and lithium iron phosphate (LFP). The electrolyte is mainly used as a carrier for ion migration in the lithium battery, and the transmission of ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode is ensured. It has certain influence on the performance indexes of battery safety, cycle life, charge and discharge rate, high and low temperature performance, energy density and the like. The electrolyte is generally prepared from high-purity organic solvent, electrolyte lithium salt, additive and other raw materials according to a certain proportion.
The lithium battery is usually provided with a liquid injection hole and an explosion-proof valve, the liquid injection hole injects electrolyte into the battery in the production process of the battery, and the explosion-proof valve is used for preventing the battery from exploding.
In the production process of the lithium battery, when the liquid of electrolyte is injected into the battery, the electrolyte overflows, so that the electrolyte easily flows into the explosion-proof valve, the cleaning is not easy, and the electrolyte residue easily causes the failure of the explosion-proof valve.
