Description

锂二次电池及含有其的电池模块、电池包和用电装置 技术领域
本申请属于锂二次电池技术领域,涉及一种锂二次电池,特别涉及一种在正极活性物质层中含有锂补偿剂的锂二次电池、以及具备所述锂二次电池的电池模块、电池包和用电装置。
背景技术
锂二次电池具有高能量密度、长循环寿命和无记忆效应等优点被广泛应用于众多消费电子产品中。近年来,随着电动汽车和储能系统的不断发展,对锂二次电池的能量密度的要求也不断在提高。
同时,硅材料由于具有超高的理论比容量,已成为极具潜力的具有高能量密度的锂二次电池的负极材料。但由于纯硅材料的导电性差,且体积膨胀高达300%,故导致在电极表面形成的固体电解质界面膜SEI不断破裂修复,消耗更多的锂,从而使得锂二次电池循环寿命变差。
为了补偿所消耗的锂,对正极补锂是一种有效的应用方法。在正极补锂方面,目前研究较多的补锂剂是Li 5FeO 4,这类富锂材料具有较高的理论比容量,但是在脱锂后生成的其他金属离子(如铁离子)会穿梭到负极进行还原。铁析出容易破坏SEI膜,也会进一步刺穿隔膜造成电池的短路,安全性较低。除此之外,Li 5FeO 4在脱锂后也会释放出氧气,造成电解液的氧化和电池容量的衰减。
发明内容
本申请是鉴于上述技术问题而进行的,其目的在于,提供一种锂二次电池,包括:正极、负极和电解液;其中,
所述正极包括正极活性物质层,所述正极活性物质层含有锂补偿剂,所述锂补偿剂的分子式为Li xNi aCu 1-a-bM bO 2,其中1≤x≤2,0<a<1,0≤b<0.1,M选自Zn、Sn、Mg、Fe和Mn中的一种或几种;
所述负极包括负极活性物质层,所述负极活性物质层含有第一负极活性物质以及第二负极活性物质,所述第一负极活性物质为石墨,所述第二负极活 性物质选自Si、SiO n(0<n<2)、SiC中的一种或多种;
所述电解液中含有氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC);
所述锂二次电池满足:0.2×W Si≤W FEC≤7.5%-0.6×W L,其中,W FEC为所述FEC在所述电解液中的质量占比,W Si为所述第二负极活性物质中的硅元素在所述负极活性物质层中的质量占比,W L为所述锂补偿剂在所述正极活性物质层的质量占比。
根据上述的结构,通过锂补偿剂Li xNi aCu 1-a-bM bO 2能够补偿形成和修复固态电解质界面膜SEI所消耗的锂,并且,由于锂补偿剂不含Fe,能够避免铁析出而破坏SEI膜。另外,通过电解液中所含的氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)能够形成致密的SEI膜,使SEI膜难以破裂,从而可以使循环保持较慢的容量衰减率,并获得较佳的充放电比容量。但是,氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)过多,会恶化产气,导致极片膨胀,并且会导致锂补偿剂L中的金属铜溶出,恶化体系自放电。在此,通过控制氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)以及锂补偿剂的含量,能够减少锂补偿剂中过渡金属离子在负极析出而出现的电池自放电问题。根据本发明的锂二次电池,通过将氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)、硅元素、锂补偿剂的质量占比控制在上述范围内,可有效地弥补硅负极活性锂损失,使循环保持较慢的容量衰减率而提高循环寿命,并获得较佳的充放电比容量,而且能够降低电池自放电的量。
在任意实施方式中,所述W L与所述W Si满足条件:-2.2%≤W L-W Si≤2.5%。
由于硅负极的二次电池的首次库伦效率(首次放电容量与充电容量之比)低,如果硅含量增加,则需要更多的锂补偿剂来补充活性锂。通过硅元素、锂补偿剂的质量占比在上述范围内,可有效为硅负极补充活性锂,使循环及存放保持较慢的容量衰减率而提高循环寿命和存储寿命,并获得较佳的充放电比容量。其中,当W L≥W Si-2.2%时,锂补偿剂可以为硅负极二次电池补充足够的活性锂;同时,当W L≤W Si+2.5%时,则负极活性物质脱锂量与锂补偿剂的正极嵌锂空位配比量适中,从而进一步提升电池的放电比容量。
在任意实施方式中,所述W L为0.1%~10%,可选的,所述W L为0.2%~9%,进一步可选的,所述W L为0.3%~8%。锂补偿剂添加量在上述范围内时,可以为正负极成膜和循环过程的锂损耗,补充足够的活性锂,保证负极活性物质与含锂补偿剂的正极嵌锂空位配比量适中,从而进一步提升二次电池的放电比容量。
在任意实施方式中,所述W Si为0.5wt%~10wt%,可选的,所述W Si为 1wt%~8wt%,进一步可选的,所述W Si为1.5wt%~6wt%。
由此,通过硅含量在上述范围内,才能有效通过添加锂补偿剂,来提高循环寿命和存储寿命,并获得较佳的充放电比容量。本申请中,负极极片中Si含量在上述范围内时,一方面可以提升二次电池的能量密度;同时,还可以控制所需锂补偿剂L的用量,改善二次电池的循环、存储寿命及自放电问题。
在任意实施方式中,所述W FEC为0.1wt%~7.5wt%,可选的,所述W FEC为0.5wt%~6wt%,进一步可选的,所述W FEC为1wt%~5wt%。
由此,通过氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)含量在上述范围内,能够提高循环寿命,并降低自放电的量。猜测其原因可能是,当电解液中氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)含量在上述范围内时,能够在负极(尤其硅颗粒)表面形成致密的SEI膜,有效改善硅颗粒与电解液的界面副反应,从而提高二次电池的循环寿命;同时,限制氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)含量上限,还可以降低锂补偿剂中的铜元素的溶出,改善二次电池的自放电率增高的问题。

由此,通过锂补偿剂的比表面积BET L值在上述范围内,能够避免正极极片制备时发生凝胶等问题,从而避免循环特性和放电容量比的下降。本申请中,锂补偿剂的比表面积BET L在上述范围内时,一方面,锂补偿剂不发生团聚,改善正极浆料容易发生凝胶的问题,提升电池循环寿命以及充放电比容量;同时,还可以提高与正极活性物质的匹配度,提升锂补偿剂的容量发挥,有利于进一步发挥锂补偿剂对充放电容量比的贡献。

根据上述的锂离子二次电池,通过锂补偿剂Li xNi aCu 1-a-bM bO 2能够补偿形成和修复固态电解质界面膜SEI所消耗的锂,并且,由于锂补偿剂不含Fe,能够避免铁析出而破坏SEI膜。另外,通过电解液中所含的氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)能够形成致密的SEI膜,使SEI膜难以破裂,从而可以使循环保持较慢的容量衰减率,并获得较佳的充放电比容量。但是,氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)过多,会恶化产气,并且会导致锂补偿剂L中的金属铜溶出,恶化体系自放电。通过控制氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)以及锂补偿剂的含量,能够减少锂补偿剂中过渡金属离子在负极析出而出现的电池自放电问题。根据上述的锂二次电池,通过氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)、硅元素、锂补偿剂的质量占比在上述范围内,可有效弥补硅负极活性锂损失,使循环保持较慢的容量衰减率而提高循环寿命,并获得较佳的充放电比容量,而且能够降低电池自放电的量。如果氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)小于0.2×W Si,则负极成膜不足,不能改善循环寿命。如果氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)大于7.5%-0.6×W L,则锂补偿剂L中过渡金属离子在负极过度地析出,从而产生电池自放电的问题。

本申请中,所述锂补偿剂L在所述正极活性物质层的质量占比W L可以采用本领域公知的测试方法进行测定。作为示例的,可以采用如下方法进行测试:对于锂补偿剂L和磷酸铁锂等不含Ni和Cu元素的正极活性物质的混合极片,可以采用ICP(如,美国Thermo Fisher Scientific公司型号为ICAP7400的等离子体发射光谱仪)测试,获得Ni/Cu比值及锂补偿剂L的质量占比。对于锂补偿剂L和镍钴锰酸锂等含Ni元素的正极活性物质的混合极片,可以采用ICP(美国Thermo Fisher Scientific公司型号为ICAP7400的等离子体发射光谱仪),先测试获得正极极片中Ni、Co、Mn、Cu等多种元素的质量占比,再结合EDS(OXFORD EDS X-max-50mm 2)对正极极片表面或断面进行Mapping测试,找到富铜区域(对应锂补偿剂L)后缩小范围,测试该富铜区域的Ni/Cu比值,即为锂补偿剂L的Ni/Cu比值,再根据ICP测试各元素质量占比得出L材料的质量占比。
在一些实施方式中,W L与W Si满足条件:-2.2%≤W L-W Si≤2.5%。
由于硅负极的二次电池的首次库伦效率(首次放电容量与充电容量之比)低,硅含量增加,需要更多的锂补偿剂L来补充活性锂。通过硅元素、锂补偿剂L的质量占比在上述范围内,可有效弥补硅负极活性锂损失,使循环及存放保持较慢的容量衰减率而提高循环寿命和存储寿命,并获得较佳的充放电比容量。其中,当W L≥W Si-2.2%时,锂补偿剂可以为硅负极二次电池补充足够的活性锂;同时,当W L≤W Si+2.5%时,则负极活性物质与含锂补偿剂的正极嵌锂空位配比量适中,从而进一步提升电池的放电比容量较高。
在一些实施方式中,W L为0.1%~10%,可选的,所述W L为0.2%~9%,进一步可选的,所述W L为0.3%~8%。锂补偿剂添加量在上述范围内时,可以 为正负极成膜提供足够的活性锂,同时保证负极活性物质与含锂补偿剂的正极嵌锂空位配比量适中,从而进一步提升二次电池的放电比容量降低。
在一些实施方式中,W Si为0.5wt%~10wt%,可选的,所述W Si为1wt%~8wt%,进一步可选的,所述W Si为1.5wt%~6wt%。通过硅含量在上述范围内,能够提高循环寿命和存储寿命,并获得较佳的充放电比容量。本申请中,负极极片中Si含量在上述范围内时,一方面可以提升二次电池的能量密度、循环及存储寿命,同时,可以控制所需锂补偿剂L的用量,改善二次电池的自放电问题。
在一些实施方式中,W FEC为0.1wt%~7.5wt%,可选的,所述W FEC为0.5wt%~6wt%,进一步可选的,所述W FEC为1wt%~5wt%。通过氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)含量在上述范围内,能够提高循环寿命,并降低自放电的量。猜测其原因可能是,当电解液中氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)含量在上述范围内时,能够在负极(尤其硅颗粒)表面形成致密的SEI膜,有效改善硅颗粒与电解液的界面副反应,从而提高二次电池的循环寿命;同时,还可以降低锂补偿剂中的铜元素的溶出,改善二次电池的自放电率增高的问题。
[锂补偿剂L]
在一些实施方式中,锂补偿剂L的比表面积BET L值为0.3m 2/g~10m 2/g,可选的,所述BET L为0.6m 2/g~3.5m 2/g。
锂补偿剂L含有较多的锂,碱性强、活性高、颗粒较大且对水敏感,正极极片制备时容易发生凝胶等问题,造成正极浆料稳定性变差,大大降低优率。通过锂补偿剂的比表面积BET L值在上述范围内,能够较少凝胶,进一步提升循环寿命,获得较佳的充放电比容量。
本申请中,所述锂补偿剂L的比表面积可以采用本领域公知的测试方法进行测定。具体测试方法及步骤可参考标准:GB/T 19587-2004《气体吸附BET法测定固态物质比表面积》。作为示例的,可使用仪器型号为NOVA 2000e,采用如下流程进行测试:(1)取一定量的样品(如,2.0-15.0g);(2)将样品放入样品管,放入加热包中,进行脱气处理(脱气条件为200℃,2小时);(3)脱气完成后,等脱气站温度降到常温时,将样品管从脱气站卸下,称量计算样品总质量;(4)将样品管放入测试填充棒,进行样品的比表面积测试。

2.粉体材料比表面积的测量:
参考标准:GB/T 19587-2004《气体吸附BET法测定固态物质比表面积》。使用仪器型号为NOVA 2000e,采用如下流程进行测试:(1)取一定量的样品(如,2.0-15.0g);(2)将样品放入样品管,放入加热包中,进行脱气处理(脱气条件为200℃,2小时);(3)脱气完成后,等脱气站温度降到常温时,将样品管从脱气站卸下,称量计算样品总质量;(4)将样品管放入测试填充棒,进行样品的比表面积测试。

Figure PCTCN2020139182-appb-000002
5.循环寿命测试:
电池在常温下以0.33C倍率恒流充电至4.25V,再以4.25V恒压充电至0.05C倍率,然后以0.33C倍率恒流放电至2.8V,以此为一次循环。重复以上循环测试,直至放电容量衰减为初始容量的80%时停止测试,得到循环次数。

对实施例1~6、比较例1~4进行上述测试,将评价结果综合示于表2中。
Figure PCTCN2020139182-appb-000004
从表1、2可知,实施例1~6的二次电池中,满足:0.2×W Si≤W FEC≤7.5%-0.6×W L,其中,W FEC为所述FEC在所述电解液中的质量占比,W Si为所述第二负极活性物质中的硅元素在所述负极活性物质层中的质量占比,W L为所述锂补偿剂在所述正极活性物质层的质量占比。在实施例1~6的二次电池中,2天存储电压降(mV/h)(自放电)保持在较低的水平,循环寿命保持在较高的水平,并且能够获得较高的充放电比容量。并且,通过实施例1~6的可知,无论正极活性物质是锂镍钴锰氧化物还是磷酸铁锂,满足上述关系式的二次电池均能够取得良好的自放电特性、较高的循环寿命以及较高的充放电比容量。这是由于,通过锂补偿剂Li xNi aCu 1-a-bM bO 2能够补偿形成和修复固态电解质界面膜SEI所消耗的锂,并且,由于锂补偿剂不含Fe,能够避免铁析出而破坏SEI膜。另外,通过电解液中所含的氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)能够形成致密的SEI膜,使SEI膜难以破裂,从而可以使循环保持较慢的容量衰减率,并获得较佳的充放电比容量。但是,氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)过多,会恶化产气,导致极片膨胀,并且会导致锂补偿剂L中的金属铜溶出,恶化体系自放电。通过控制氟代碳酸乙烯酯(FEC)以及锂补偿剂的含量,能够减少锂补偿剂中过渡金属离子在负极析出而出现的电池自放电问题。
相对于此,对比例1中,FEC在电解液中的含量过少,难以在负极形成致密的SEI膜,导致循环寿命和放电比容量降低。在对比例2中,FEC在电解液中的含量过多,导致锂补偿剂中过渡金属离子在负极析出,导致2天存储电压降过大,产生自放电问题,并且充放电比容量也较低。在正极活性物质采用磷酸锂铁的对比例3、4中,也产生相同的问题。
(实施例7~18)
实施例7~18与实施例1的制备方法相似,但是调整了锂补偿剂的含量、负极Si含量和电解液中FEC含量的产品参数,不同的产品参数详见表3。
对实施例7~18进行上述测试,将评价结果综合示于表4中。
Figure PCTCN2020139182-appb-000005
从表3、4可知,实施例7~16的二次电池中,满足:-2.2%≤W L-W Si≤2.5%。并且满足:W L为0.1%~10%;W Si为0.5wt%~10wt%。通过使W L、W Si满足上述关系式,能够得到较佳的存储寿命和循环寿命。这是由于,硅负极的二次电池的首次库伦效率(首次放电容量与充电容量之比)低,如果硅含量增加,则需要更多的锂补偿剂来补充活性锂。通过硅元素、锂补偿剂的质量占比在上述范围内,可有效弥补硅负极活性锂损失,使循环及存放保持较慢的容量衰减率而提高循环寿命和存储寿命,并获得较佳的充放电比容量。此外,随着锂补偿剂L的含量增加,充电比容量有增加的倾向。另外,随着Si含量的增加,由于存在满足上述关系的含量的锂补偿剂L,实施例14~16的放电比容量仅有小幅下降。
(实施例19~24)
实施例19~24与实施例2的制备方法相似,但是调整了锂补偿剂的比表面积、D v50粒径的产品参数,不同的产品参数详见表5。
对实施例19~24进行上述测试,将评价结果综合示于表6中。
Figure PCTCN2020139182-appb-000006
从表5、6可知,实施例19~22的二次电池中,BET L值为0.5m 2/g~8m 2/g,体积平均粒径D v50 L为1.3μm~16μm,正极浆料不凝胶或发生轻微凝胶,并且能够得到较佳的循环寿命和充放电比容量。这是由于,上述范围内的锂补偿剂不容易发生团聚,浆料稳定性佳。所得到的二次电池能够获得优异的循环寿命以及充放电比容量。此外,实施例19~22的二次电池中,锂补偿剂的体积平均粒径D v50 L与所述锂过渡金属氧化物的体积平均粒径D v50 N满足:0.3≤D v50 L/D v50 N≤3.6。通过粒径比在上述范围内,正极活性物质的浆料不容易凝胶,稳定性较好,锂补偿剂对充放电容量的贡献也较高,能够获得优异的循环寿命以及充放电比容量。
(实施例25~30)
实施例25~30与实施例5的制备方法相似,但是调整了锂补偿剂的比表面积、D v50粒径的产品参数,不同的产品参数详见表7。
对实施例25~30进行上述测试,将评价结果综合示于表8中。
Figure PCTCN2020139182-appb-000007
从表7、8可知,实施例25~28的二次电池中,锂补偿剂的体积平均粒径D v50 L与具有橄榄石结构的锂磷酸盐的体积平均粒径D v50 P满足:1≤D v50 L/D v50 P≤15。通过粒径比在上述范围内,正极活性物质的浆料不容易凝胶,稳定性较好,锂补偿剂对充放电容量的贡献也较高,能够获得优异的循环寿命以及充放电比容量。
本领域普通技术人员应当理解,上述各实施例仅是实现本发明的部分具体实施例,而在实际应用中,可以在形式上和细节上对其作各种改变和修改,均落入本申请的保护范围内。
