本申请要求享有于2018年11月16日提交的名称为“一种电化学装置”的中国专利申请201811367022.6的优先权，该申请的全部内容通过引用并入本文中。
技术领域
本申请属于电化学技术领域，更具体地说，本申请涉及电化学装置，尤其是电池。
背景技术
锂离子电池由于具备能量密度大、输出功率高、循环寿命长和环境污染小等优点而被广泛应用于电动汽车以及消费类电子产品中。然而锂离子电池在受到挤压、碰撞或穿刺等异常情况时很容易发生着火、爆炸，从而引起严重危害。因此锂离子电池的安全问题很大程度地限制了锂离子电池的应用和普及。
大量实验结果表明，电池内短路是造成锂离子电池安全隐患的根本所在。为了避免发生电池内短路，研究者们试图从许多方面来进行改进，其中包括利用PTC材料的特性来提升锂离子电池的安全性能方面的研究。PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient)材料即正温度系数热敏材料，它具有电阻率随温度升高而增大的特性，当温度超过一定的温度时，它的电阻率呈阶跃性的迅速增高。
在利用PTC材料的特性来提升锂离子电池的安全性能方面的研究中，有些研究是在电池的电极活性材料层中添加PTC材料。当电池温度升高时，PTC材料的电阻增大，从而导致整个电极活性材料层的电阻变大，甚至使得整个电极活性材料层的导电通路被破坏，从而起到断电、阻止电化学反应继续进行的安全效果。然而在这种改进方式中，在电极活性材料层中添加的PTC材料会对电 池的电化学性能产生不良的影响。
还有些研究是在电池的金属集流体与电极活性材料层之间单独设置PTC材料层(安全涂层)。当电池温度升高时，PTC材料层的电阻增大，从而使得金属集流体与电极活性材料层之间电阻增大、甚至断电，从而起到阻止电化学反应继续进行的安全效果。然而在这种改进方式中，在PTC材料层表面涂覆活性物质浆料时，浆料中的溶剂(如NMP等)会将PTC层中的PTC材料溶解，并进入上层活性物质层中，不仅使PTC层失去PTC效应，而且会恶化电性能。另外，在极片制作过程中的压实步骤中，PTC材料层极易被挤压至边缘，导致电极活性材料层与金属集流体直接接触，从而失去提高安全性能的作用。另外，PTC材料层的响应速度、阻断电流的效果等性能均需要大幅改善。
有鉴于此，确有必要提供一种能够改善电池安全性同时能避免现有技术中的上述问题的电池。

具体实施方式
本申请公开了一种电化学装置，其包括正极极片、负极极片和电解液，所 述正极极片包括集流体、正极活性材料层和设置于集流体与正极活性材料层之间的安全涂层，所述安全涂层包含高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料，相对于高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料的总重量，所述高分子基体的重量百分比为35wt％-75wt％，所述导电材料的重量百分比为5wt％-25wt％，所述无机填料的重量百分比为10wt％-60wt％，所述无机填料为电化学活性材料或电化学活性材料的导电碳包覆改性、导电金属包覆改性或导电聚合物包覆改性的材料，且所述电解液在25±0.1℃下粘度为≤4cp。
发明人发现，在安全涂层中添加无机填料有助于克服现有PTC安全涂层所面临的各种问题。
已发现当安全涂层中不含有无机填料时，处于安全涂层上层的正极活性材料层中的溶剂(如NMP等)或电解液会对安全涂层中的高分子材料产生溶解、溶胀等不良影响，从而安全涂层会遭到破坏，影响PTC效应的性能。发明人发现，安全涂层中添加了无机填料后，该无机填料相当于一种阻隔物质，从而有利于消除上述溶解、溶胀等不良影响，有利于稳定安全涂层。此外，还发现无机填料的添加还有利于保证在极片压实过程中，安全涂层不易变形。因此无机填料的添加可以很好地保证安全涂层稳定地处于金属集流体与正极活性材料层之间，防止金属集流体与正极活性材料层直接接触，从而可以改善电池的安全性能。
发明人还出人意料地发现，无机填料还可以改善安全涂层的响应速度等性能。安全涂层的作用原理为：在常温下，安全涂层依靠导电材料之间形成的良好的导电网络，进行电子传导；温度升高时，高分子基体材料的体积开始膨胀，导电材料颗粒之间的间距增大，导电网络被部分阻隔，安全涂层的电阻逐渐增大；当达到一定的温度(例如作动温度)时，导电网络几乎完全被隔断，电流趋近为零。然而通常情况下，当安全涂层内部达到一种动态平衡后，导电网络又部分得到恢复，因此在达到一定温度(例如作动温度)后，安全涂层的电阻 不如预期的那样大，且仍有很小的电流通过。发明人发现，当加入无机填料后，在高分子基体材料的体积膨胀后，无机填料与体积增大的高分子基体材料都可以起到阻隔导电网络的效果。因此在加入无机填料后，在作动温度范围内，安全涂层可以更好地产生PTC效应，即高温下电阻值增加速度更快，PTC响应速度更快。从而可以更好地改善电池的安全性能。
所述无机填料可以是选自金属氧化物、非金属氧化物、金属碳化物、非金属碳化物、无机盐中的至少一种，或上述材料的导电碳包覆改性、导电金属包覆改性或导电聚合物包覆改性的材料中的至少一种。
发明人进一步发现，当安全涂层用于正极极片时，使用电化学活性材料或电化学活性材料的导电碳包覆改性、导电金属包覆改性或导电聚合物包覆改性的材料作为无机填料具有特别的优势。这种情况下，无机填料除了上面提到的稳定安全涂层的作用(阻碍有机溶剂对高分子材料产生溶解、溶胀等不良影响和保证安全涂层不易变形)和改善安全涂层的响应速度等性能外，进一步地，还可以发挥如下两方面的作用：(1)改善电池的过充性能：在氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体、导电材料组成的PTC安全涂层体系中，由于电化学活性材料具有嵌脱锂离子的特点，因此在电池正常工作温度下，电化学活性材料可作为参与导电网络的“活性点位”，即安全涂层中的“活性点位”增多，在过充过程中，电化学活性材料会脱锂且脱锂难度越来越大，阻抗不断增加，因此当电流通过时，产热功率增大，底涂层温度增加速度更快，从而PTC效应响应速度更快，进而可以在电池产生过充安全问题之前产生PTC效应，改善电池的过充安全；(2)贡献充放电容量：由于电化学活性材料可以在电池正常工作温度下贡献一定的充放电容量，因此可使得在正常工作温度下安全涂层对电池的容量等电化学性能的影响降至最低。
因此，对于正极极片而言，使用电化学活性材料或电化学活性材料的导电碳包覆改性、导电金属包覆改性或导电聚合物包覆改性的材料作为安全涂层中 的无机填料是最优选的。
无机填料作为安全涂层的无机填料，优选使用选自钴酸锂、镍锰钴酸锂、镍锰铝酸锂、磷酸铁锂、磷酸钒锂、磷酸钴锂、磷酸锰锂、磷酸锰铁锂、硅酸铁锂、硅酸钒锂、硅酸钴锂、硅酸锰锂、尖晶石型锰酸锂、尖晶石型镍锰酸锂、钛酸锂、或它们的导电碳包覆改性材料、导电金属包覆改性材料或导电聚合物包覆改性材料中的至少一种。尤其是经导电碳包覆改性的这些电化学活性材料，例如导电碳包覆改性的钴酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的镍锰钴酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的镍锰铝酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸铁锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸钒锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸钴锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸锰锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸锰铁锂、导电碳包覆改性的硅酸铁锂、导电碳包覆改性的硅酸钒锂、导电碳包覆改性的硅酸钴锂、导电碳包覆改性的硅酸锰锂、导电碳包覆改性的尖晶石型锰酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的尖晶石型镍锰酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的钛酸锂中的至少一种。这些电化学活性材料和导电碳包覆改性的电化学活性材料是锂电池制造中的常用材料，大部分可通过商业途径直接购买获得。其中导电碳的种类可以采用石墨、石墨烯、导电炭黑、碳纳米管等。此外，通过调节导电碳的包覆含量可以调节无机填料的电导率。
在本申请的电化学装置的正极极片的安全涂层中，基于高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料的总重量，所述无机填料的重量百分比为10wt％-60wt％。无机填料含量过小，不足以起到安全涂层的作用；含量过大，则会影响PTC性能。安全涂层中，无机填料的重量百分比优选为15wt％-45wt％。
当无机填料的颗粒粒径过小时，比表面积增大，副反应会增多；过大时，会造成安全涂层的涂布厚度过大且厚度易不均匀。优选地，安全涂层中的无机填料的平均粒径D满足100nm≤D≤10μm，更优选为1μm≤D≤6μm。无机填料的颗粒粒径处于上述范围时，还可以改善高温下阻隔导电网络的效果，从而改善其作为安全涂层的响应速度。还优选地，安全涂层中的无机填料的比表面 积(BET)为不大于500m2/g。无机填料比表面积增大时，副反应会增多影响电池性能；而且无机填料比表面积过大时，需消耗更高比例的粘结剂，会造成安全涂层与集流体、电极活性材料层之间的粘结力降低，内阻增长率较高。当无机填料的比表面积(BET)为不大于500m 2/g时，可以提供更好的综合效果。
高分子基体材料
本申请的电化学装置中的正极PTC安全涂层除了含有无机填料以外，还含有高分子基体材料(PTC基体材料)和导电材料。
安全涂层的作用原理为：在常温下，安全涂层依靠导电材料之间形成的良好的导电网络，进行电子传导；温度升高时，高分子基体材料的体积开始膨胀，导电材料颗粒之间的间距增大，导电网络被部分阻隔，安全涂层的电阻逐渐增大；而当达到一定的温度(例如作动温度)时，导电网络几乎完全被隔断，电流趋近为零，从而保护使用该安全涂层的电化学装置。
相对于高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料的总重量，所述高分子基体的重量百分比为35wt％-75wt％，优选为40wt％-75wt％，更优选为50wt％-75wt％。
作为安全涂层的高分子基体材料可以是聚烯烃材料或其他高分子材料，如聚乙烯、聚丙烯、乙烯-乙酸乙烯酯共聚物(EVA)、乙烯-丙烯酸共聚物、乙烯-甲基丙烯酸共聚物、聚酰胺、聚苯乙烯、聚丙烯腈、热塑性弹性体、环氧树脂、聚缩醛、热塑性改性纤维素、聚砜、聚(甲基)丙烯酸甲酯、包含(甲基)丙烯酸酯的共聚物等等。此时，优选地，所述安全涂层还额外含有用于增强高分子基体材料与集流体之间的粘结力的粘结剂。所述粘结剂可以是例如PVDF、PVDC、SBR等，也可以是选自CMC、聚丙烯酸酯、聚碳酸酯、聚环氧乙烷、橡胶、聚氨酯、羧甲基纤维素钠、聚丙烯酸、丙烯腈多元共聚物、明胶、壳聚糖、海藻酸钠、偶联剂、氰基丙烯酸酯、聚合环醚衍生物、环糊精的羟基衍生物等的水性粘结剂。
在传统的用于电池中的具有PTC效应的涂层中，通常使用聚乙烯、聚丙烯或乙烯丙烯共聚物等作为PTC基体材料。这种情况下需要在PTC基体材料和导电材料中额外加入粘结剂，粘结剂含量过小则涂层与金属集流体的粘结性较差，粘结剂含量过大则会影响到PTC效应的响应温度和响应速度等性能。而发明人发现，不使用聚乙烯、聚丙烯或乙烯丙烯共聚物等传统PTC基体材料，而是在金属集流体与正极活性材料层之间使用大量的氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃材料，仍可以起到PTC热敏电阻层的作用，而且能帮助消除现有PTC安全涂层所面临的各种问题。因此，以氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃材料作为高分子基体材料是更优选的。
氟化聚烯烃或氯化聚烯烃(例如PVDF)传统上更经常作为粘结剂使用。作为粘结剂使用时，PVDF的用量要远小于基体材料的用量。例如在传统PTC涂层之中的PVDF粘结剂相对于涂层总重通常小于15％或10％，甚至更低。在本申请中，氟化聚烯烃或氯化聚烯烃可以作为高分子基体材料使用，其用量(例如相对于安全涂层总重的35wt％-75wt％)要远远高于粘结剂用量。
在这种安全涂层中，氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃材料实际上起到了两方面的作用，其既作为PTC基体，又作为粘结剂。这样避免了由于粘结剂与PTC基体材料的不同，而造成的对涂层的粘结性、PTC效应的响应温度和响应速度等的影响。
首先，氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃材料与导电材料组成的安全涂层可以起到PTC热敏电阻层的作用，作动温度范围适当，可为80℃至160℃，因此可以很好地改善电池的高温安全性能。
其次，作为安全涂层的高分子基体材料的氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃，既作为PTC基体，又作为粘结剂，从而还有利于制备较薄的安全涂层，且不影响安全涂层的粘结性。
另外，处于安全涂层上层的正极活性材料层中的溶剂(如NMP等)或电解 液会对安全涂层中的高分子材料产生溶解、溶胀等不良影响，对于仅含有常规粘结剂用量的PVDF的安全涂层来说，易于造成粘结性变差；而对于氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃的含量较高的安全涂层而言，这种不良影响可相对较小。
所以，作为本申请的一方面的改进，所述高分子基体优选是氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃，即聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)、聚偏氯乙烯(PVDC)、经改性的PVDF、和/或经改性的PVDC。例如，所述高分子基体可以选自PVDF、羧酸改性的PVDF、丙烯酸改性的PVDF、PVDF共聚物、PVDC、羧酸改性的PVDC、丙烯酸改性的PVDC、PVDC共聚物或它们的任意混合物。
在本申请的这种优选实施方式中，基于安全涂层的总重量，所述氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体的重量百分比为35wt％-75wt％。含量过小，则无法很好地保证安全涂层的PTC效应；含量过高则可能会影响安全涂层的响应速度等性能。所述氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体的重量百分比优选为40wt％-75wt％，更优选为50wt％-75wt％。
当本申请的电化学装置中的安全涂层中所用氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体材料时，这些材料本身除了作为基体材料使用外，其本身还具有很好的粘结性，可以作为粘结剂使用；因此，使用这类高分子基体材料时，安全涂层不需再使用其他额外的粘结剂，这可以简化工艺节约成本。因此，在本申请的优选实施方式中，所述高分子基体是氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃，所述安全涂层基本不含所述高分子基体材料以外的其他粘结剂(“基本不含”表示含量≤3％、≤1％、或≤0.5％)。
在本申请的电化学装置中的正极极片的安全涂层中，基于高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料的总重量，所述氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体的重量百分比为35wt％-75wt％。含量过小，则无法很好地保证安全涂层的PTC效应；含量过高则可能会影响安全涂层的响应速度等性能。所述氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体的重量百分比优选为40wt％-75wt％，更优选为50wt％-75wt％。
虽然安全涂层的引入，可以大大改善极片和电池的穿钉安全性能，然而由于高分子基体在电解液中具有一定的溶胀率，因此安全涂层的引入会造成电池DCR(电池内阻)的增大，从而不利于电池动力学性能的改善。
因此，作为本申请的一种进一步改进，正极极片的安全涂层中的高分子基体优选是经过交联处理的，所述安全涂层中的高分子基体是具有交联结构的高分子基体，优选是具有交联结构的氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃。
优选地，交联处理所用的交联剂与高分子基体的重量之比为0.01％至5％。
交联处理可以更有利于阻碍正极活性材料层中的溶剂(如NMP等)或电解液对安全涂层中的高分子材料产生溶解、溶胀等不良影响，防止由于应力不均导致的正极活性材料层的开裂。
另外，对于未进行交联处理的高分子基体，其在电解液中的溶胀较大，因此会引起较大的电池DCR增长，不利于电池的动力学性能改善；而在交联处理之后，有效抑制了高分子基体的溶胀率，因此可明显降低由于安全涂层的引入而引起的DCR增长。
交联处理的操作过程是现有技术已知的。例如，对于氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体来说，交联处理可以通过引入活化剂和交联剂来实现。活化剂的作用是使氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃脱去HF或HCl，生成C＝C双键；交联剂的作用是使C＝C双键交联。对于活化剂，可以采用例如硅酸钠或硅酸钾等强碱弱酸盐。所述活化剂与高分子基体的重量之比通常为0.5％至5％。
所述交联剂可以是选自多异氰酸酯类(JQ-1、JQ-1E、JQ-2E、JQ-3E、JQ-4、JQ-5、JQ-6、PAPI、可乳化MDI、四异氰酸酯)、多元胺类(丙二胺、MOCA)、多元醇类(聚乙二醇、聚丙二醇、三羟甲基丙烷)、缩水甘油醚(聚丙二醇缩水甘油醚)、无机物(氧化锌、氯化铝、硫酸铝、硫黄、硼酸、硼砂、硝酸铬)、乙二醛、氮丙啶、烯属不饱和化合物(苯乙烯、a-甲基苯乙烯、丙烯腈、丙烯酸、 甲基丙烯酸、丙烯酸酯类(二丙烯酸-1，4-丁二醇酯、二甲基丙烯酸乙二醇酯、TAC、丙烯酸丁酯、HEA、HPA、HEMA、HPMA、MMA))、有机硅类(正硅酸乙酯、正硅酸甲酯、三甲氧基硅烷)、苯磺酸类(对甲苯磺酸、对甲苯磺酰氯)、有机过氧化物(过氧化二异丙苯，过氧化双2，4-二氯苯甲酰)、金属有机化合物(异丙醇铝、醋酸锌、乙酰丙酮钛)中的至少一种。
所述交联剂与高分子基体的重量之比为0.01％至5％。交联剂太少，高分子基体交联程度较低，不能完全消除开裂。交联剂过多，在搅拌过程中易造成凝胶。所述活化剂和交联剂可在制备安全涂层的浆料搅拌完成后加入，进行交联反应后，搅拌均匀后涂布，以制备安全涂层。
导电材料
安全涂层中所用的导电材料可以选自导电碳基材料、导电金属材料和导电聚合物材料中的至少一种。作为示例性说明，导电碳基材料可以选自导电炭黑、乙炔黑、石墨、石墨烯、碳纳米管、碳纳米纤维中的至少一种；导电金属材料可以选自Al粉、Ni粉、金粉中的至少一种；导电聚合物材料可以选自导电聚噻吩、导电聚吡咯、导电聚苯胺中的至少一种。导电材料可单独使用一种或组合使用两种以上。
在本申请中，相对于安全涂层，所述导电材料的重量百分比为5wt％-25wt％，优选为5wt％-20wt％。
导电材料通常以粉末或颗粒的形式使用。取决于具体应用环境，其粒径可以是5nm-500nm，例如10nm-300nm、15nm-200nm、15nm-100nm、20nm-400nm、20nm-150nm等等。
优选地，所述高分子基体材料与导电材料的重量比大于等于2。在这种用量比例下，可以进一步改善穿钉安全性。如果高分子基体材料与导电材料的重量比小于2，则导电材料的含量相对较高，则温度升高时，导电网络可能无法充分 断开，从而影响PTC效应。若所述高分子基体材料与导电材料的重量比过高，则导电材料的含量相对较低，则会造成正常工作时电池的DCR增长较大。优选地，所述高分子基体与所述导电材料的重量比小于等于8。在本发明的一个实施方式中，所述高分子基体与所述导电材料的重量比大于等于3且小于等于8。
安全涂层
本申请的电化学装置中的安全涂层可以通过常规方法来形成。例如，通过将高分子基体材料、导电材料、无机填料和可选的粘结剂或其他助剂溶解在溶剂中并搅拌形成浆料，然后将浆料涂覆到集流体之上，加热烘干即可得到所需安全涂层。
在本申请的电化学装置中的正极极片中，安全涂层直接粘附在集流体之上，设置于集流体和正极活性材料层之间。所述安全涂层的厚度H可以根据实际需要进行合理确定。所述安全涂层的厚度H通常为不大于40μm，优选的为不大于25μm，更优选的为不大于20μm、15μm或10μm。安全涂层的涂布厚度通常为大于或等于1μm，优选的为大于或等于2μm，更优选为大于或等于3μm。厚度过小，不足以保证安全涂层改善电池安全性能的效果；过大，会造成电池内阻增大严重，从而影响电池正常工作时的电化学性能。优选地1μm≤H≤20μm，更优选地3μm≤H≤10μm。
安全涂层与集流体之间的结合力优选大于等于10N/m。例如，通过引入额外的粘结剂或通过对高分子基体进行交联处理可以增大安全涂层与集流体之间的结合力。过小的结合力会造成安全涂层易脱落，因此会造成电池DCR增长较大，且不利于改善电池的穿钉安全性能。
除了高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料外，安全涂层也可以包含其他材料或组分，例如促进涂层与作为金属集流体的基材之间的粘附性的其他粘结剂等。本领域技术人员可以根据实际需要选择其他助剂。
在本申请的一些优选实施方式中，所用氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃作为安全涂层的高分子基体，由于其本身具有良好的粘附性，所述安全涂层基本不含所述高分子基体以外的其他粘结剂(“基本不含”表示含量≤3％、≤1％、或≤0.5％)。
此外，在本申请的一些优选实施方式中，安全涂层中所用高分子基体是氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体材料，且安全涂层可以基本上由所述高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料组成，即不含显著量(例如含量≤3％、≤1％、或≤0.5％)的其他组分。
集流体
对于集流体的材料，可以使用本领域常用的材料，优选金属集流体，例如不锈钢、铝、铜、钛等金属薄片或金属箔。金属集流体的厚度为4μm～16μm。优选地，所述集流体为多孔集流体(多孔铝箔)。由于在穿钉等异常情况下，多孔铝箔的使用可以降低金属毛刺的产生概率，并进而降低发生剧烈铝热反应的概率，因此可以进一步改善电化学装置的安全性。此外，多孔铝箔的使用还可以改善电解液浸润极片，并进而改善锂离子电池的动力学性能；而安全涂层则可以覆盖在多孔铝箔的表面，防止上层活性材料层在涂布过程中的漏涂现象。
另外，考虑到穿钉安全性，集流体的断裂伸长率δ优选为0.8％≤δ≤4％。业已发现，如果集流体的断裂伸长率过大，则被穿刺时金属毛刺较大，不利于改善电池的安全性能；反之，如果集流体的断裂伸长率过小，则在极片压实等加工过程中或电池受到挤压或碰撞时容易出现断裂，降低电池质量或安全性。因此，为了进一步改善安全性，尤其是穿钉安全性，集流体的断裂伸长率δ应该不大于4％且不小于0.8％。金属集流体的断裂伸长率可通过改变金属集流体的纯度、杂质含量和添加剂、坯料生产工艺、轧制速度、热处理工艺等进行调整。
正极活性材料层
用于本申请电化学装置的正极极片的正极活性材料层可以选用本领域常用的各种常规正极活性材料层，其构成和制备方法是本领域公知的，并无特殊限制。所述正极活性材料层中含有正极活性物质，可以使用本领域技术人员公知的各种用于制备锂离子二次电池正极的正极活性物质，例如该正极活性物质为含锂复合金属氧化物，具体材料例如是LiCoO 2、LiNiO 2、LiMn 2O 4、LiFePO 4、锂镍钴锰氧化物中的一种或几种(如LiNi 0.5Co 0.2Mn 0.3O 2)和锂镍锰氧化物中的一种或几种。
当使用正极电化学活性材料(或其包覆改性材料)作为正极极片的安全涂层的无机填料时，在安全涂层中的正极电化学活性材料和在正极活性材料层中所使用的正极活性物质可以相同也可以不同。
由于安全涂层的引入，会造成电池的DCR增长，因此为了进一步改善电池的动力学性能，所述正极活性材料层中优选包含碳纳米管导电剂；更优选同时包含一维导电剂和零维导电剂，即同时包含碳纳米管导电剂和炭黑颗粒导电剂。
基于整个正极活性材料层的总重量，碳纳米管的重量百分比为0.4wt％～1.0wt％。碳纳米管的含量过小，则不足以改善电池的动力学性能；若含量过高，则会造成正极活性材料含量相对较小，且易于引入金属杂质，从而不利于电池的循环寿命的改善。
本领域技术人员可以理解：以上提到的本申请的不同实施方式中对于各组分选择、组分含量和材料理化性能参数(粒径、比表面积、断裂伸长率等)的各种限定或优选范围可以任意组合，其组合而得到的各种实施方式仍然在本申请范围内，且视为本说明书公开内容的一部分。

4、性能测试结果
4.1 安全涂层的防护效果(PTC效应)和对电池性能的影响
为了验证安全涂层的防护效果，以下面表1-1中所列出的具体材料和用量，按照“1、制备方法”所描述的方法和步骤制备出相应的安全涂层、正极极片、负极极片和电池，然后按照“3、电池的性能测试”部分规定方法进行测试。为了保证数据准确，每种电池制备4个(用于针刺测试的电池制备10个)并独立测试，最终测试结果取平均值，示于表1-2。
其中，常规极片P基本按照“1.1正极极片的制备”所述方法进行制备，但是不设置安全涂层，即正极活性材料层直接涂覆在集流体上，常规极片N按照“1.2负极极片的制备”所述方法制备。

电池4 极片2 常规极片N 10个全部通过
表1-3：锂离子电池的性能测试结果
Figure PCTCN2019118828-appb-000003
表1-1和表1-2的数据表明：引入以PVDF或PVDC作为高分子基体的安全涂层大大改善了电池的针刺安全性能，尤其是在加入了无机填料的情况下，改善更为显著。从表1-3的直流电阻增长率数据可以看出：PVDF与导电材料构成的安全涂层确有PTC效应，且无机填料的添加非常明显地改善了高温下电池的直流电阻增长率，即PTC效应更为显著。
4.2 安全涂层中组分含量的影响
下面进一步研究安全涂层中组分含量的影响。由于在“针刺测试”的技术效果中，氧化铝作为无机填料与电化学活性材料(LFP)作为无机填料时的技术效果和规律基本相同，因此为了简化实验以氧化铝为无机填料，来说明各组成成分对于安全涂层的影响。
为了进一步研究安全涂层中组分含量的影响，以下面表2-1中所列出的具体材料和用量，按照“1、制备方法”所描述的方法和步骤制备出相应的安全涂层、 正极极片、负极极片和电池，然后按照“3、电池的性能测试”部分规定方法进行测试。为了保证数据准确，每种电池制备4个(用于针刺测试的电池制备10个)并独立测试，最终测试结果取平均值，总结于表2-2。

电池14 极片2-9 常规极片N 10个全部通过 1800
电池15 对比极片2-10 常规极片N 4个不通过，6个通过 1715
表2-1和表2-2的数据表明：(1)无机填料含量过低，则安全涂层的稳定性不足够高，因此电池的安全性能不能得到充分改善；无机填料含量过高，则高分子基体含量会过低，则也无法保证安全涂层正常发挥作用；(2)导电材料对电池的内阻、极化的影响较大，因此会影响电池的循环寿命，导电材料含量越高，则电池的内阻、极化越小，则循环寿命越好。
经实验发现安全涂层的各组分的适当含量范围如下：
高分子基体的重量百分比为35wt％-75wt％；
导电材料的重量百分比为5wt％-25wt％；
无机填料的重量百分比为10wt％-60wt％。
只要安全涂层的各组分含量在以上范围内，就可以实现改善电池的安全性和电性能(如循环性能)的效果。
4.3 无机填料种类对电池性能的影响
为了进一步研究安全涂层中材料选择对极片和电池性能的影响，以下面表3-1中所列出的具体材料和用量，按照“1、制备方法”所描述的方法和步骤制备出相应的安全涂层、正极极片、负极极片和电池，然后按照“3、电池的性能测试”部分规定方法进行测试。为了保证数据准确，每种电池制备4个(用于针刺测试的电池制备10个)并独立测试，最终测试结果取平均值，总结于表3-2。

电池51 极片2-46 常规极片N 10个全部通过 10个全部通过 3000
表3-1和表3-2的数据表明，相对于其他材料(例如氧化铝)来说，电化学活性材料进一步明显改善了电池的过充安全性能；此外碳包覆的电化学活性材料还要更进一步改善了电池的循环寿命。
4.4 交联对极片和电池性能的影响
以下面表4-1中所列出的具体材料和用量，按照上述的方法和步骤制备出相应的安全涂层、正极极片、负极极片和电池，然后按照规定方法进行测试以便研究交联对于涂层开裂情况、DCR的影响。
表4-1：交联剂的影响
Figure PCTCN2019118828-appb-000006
在正极活性材料层的涂布速度为50m/min的情况下，极片2-51中没有加入交联剂对高分子基体进行交联，则极片发生开裂且严重开裂。交联剂的加入对改善极片开裂情况具有很明显的作用。极片2-53至极片2-56均没有发生开裂。针对PVDC进行的类似实验(极片2-57和2-58)，结果也类似。由此可见，交联剂的加入明显消除了极片涂布开裂。
表4-2：锂离子电池的性能测试结果
电池 正极 负极 电池DCR 针刺测试
电池52 极片2-51 常规极片N 100％ 10个全部通过
电池53 极片2-52 常规极片N 80％ 10个全部通过
电池54 极片2-53 常规极片N 85％ 10个全部通过
电池55 极片2-54 常规极片N 78％ 10个全部通过
电池56 极片2-55 常规极片N 75％ 10个全部通过
电池57 极片2-56 常规极片N 84％ 10个全部通过
极片2-51中没有加入交联剂对高分子基体进行交联，高分子基体在电解液中溶胀较大，导致DCR较大。交联剂的加入降低了高分子基体在电解液中溶胀，对DCR具有很明显的降低作用。由此可见，交联剂的加入明显降低了电池的DCR。
另外，以上数据说明了，无论是否交联，PVDF/PVDC都能作为PTC层高分子基体材料使用，所得电池具有很高的安全性(针刺测试实验结果优异)，并且表明了交联处理不会对安全涂层的防护作用带来负面影响。而且进一步，与未经交联的PVDC/PVDF相比，交联处理改善了极片开裂，由严重开裂降低至不开裂或轻度开裂。交联处理降低了高分子基体在电解液中的溶胀，从而降低DCR，降幅达15％～25％，从而改善了电池的电性能。
4.5 电解液粘度对电池性能的影响
为了进一步研究电解液粘度对电池性能的影响，以下面表5-1、5-2中所列出的具体材料和用量，基本按照“1、制备方法”所描述的方法和步骤制备出相应的正极极片、负极极片和电池(但是改变电解液配制中几种溶剂的配比和电解液浓度，从而得到不同粘度的电解液)，然后按照“3、电池的性能测试”部分规定方法进行测试。
为了保证数据准确，每种电池制备4个(用于针刺测试的电池制备10个)并独立测试，最终测试结果取平均值，总结于表5-3。
表5-1：电解液组成
  电解液组成(质量比) 电解液粘度(cp)
常用电解液 EC:EMC:DEC＝30:50:20，1M/L LiPF6 3.5

电池63 极片2-50 常规极片N 电解液1 83％ 3000
电池64 极片2-50 常规极片N 电解液2 116％ 1600
电池65 极片2-50 常规极片N 对比电解液 158％ 800
表5-1、表5-2和表5-3的数据表明，降低电解液粘度，有利于降低电池DCR，循环性能得到很大改善。当电解液粘度≤4cp时，DCR增长≤16％，循环性能≥1600，满足了设计需求。但当电解液粘度大于4cp时，如电池65，DCR增长58％，循环性能仅为800，无法满足设计需求。
以上数据表明：本申请的电化学装置中的正极极片大大改善了电池的针刺安全性能，且无机填料的添加非常明显地改善了高温下电池的直流电阻增长率，从而改善电池针刺安全性能测试的通过率。
