Description

一种二次电池 技术领域
本发明涉及电池领域,尤其涉及一种二次电池、电池模块、电池包和用电装置。
背景技术
近年来,随着二次电池的应用范围越来越广泛,二次电池被广泛应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统,以及电动工具、电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车、军事装备、航空航天等多个领域。由于二次电池取得了极大的发展,因此对其能量密度、循环性能和安全性能等也提出了更高的要求。
但是二次电池、特别是锂离子二次电池在使用的过程中产生的锂枝晶会刺穿隔离膜,从而造成短路,引起电池起火、爆炸、报废等不安全现象。为此,现有技术中有在电池的隔离膜上设置涂层以避免锂枝晶快速增长后刺破隔离膜的发明。但是在实际电池使用过程中,隔离膜的张力比较大,在锂枝晶穿刺隔离膜的过程中,隔离膜可能被顶破,表面的涂层破碎,从而无法起到作用。而且,还存在涂层的材料的储锂量低的问题。
为了防止电池在使用过程中发生析锂,现有技术中的一个解决手段是采用使电池的正极容量小于负极容量的设计。虽然这样设置正负极容量比能够避免析锂,但会导致电芯厚度较厚,严重降低电池的能量密度。因此,现有的电池结构仍有待改进。
发明内容
本申请是鉴于上述问题而进行的,其目的在于,提供一种不仅可以提高能量密度,还可以解决析锂问题的二次电池。
为了达到上述目的,本申请提供了如下的二次电池以及包括该二次电池的电池模块、包括该电池模块的电池包、和用电装置。
本申请的第一方面提供了一种二次电池,其包括正极极片和负极极片,所述负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,所述负极活 性物质层设置在所述负极集流体的至少一个表面上,所述负极活性物质层的与所述负极集流体侧相反一侧的表面依次设置有绝缘层和反应层,且所述反应层包括石墨、硅、氧化硅、氧化亚硅、氧化锡、氧化铜、氧化锌中的至少一种,所述正极极片中单位面积的正极活性物质层的容量记为A1,所述负极极片中单位面积的负极活性物质层的容量记为B1,则B1/A1<1,可选为0.3≤B1/A1≤1,更可选为0.5≤B1/A1≤0.91。
由此,本申请通过使正极极片中单位面积的正极活性物质层的容量大于负极极片中单位面积的负极活性物质层的容量,使电池的能量密度高于常规电池,并且通过设置特定的层结构,特别是在负极活性物质层的表面设置绝缘层和反应层,能够有效防止析锂问题,从而提高二次电池的能量密度、安全性和循环性能。
在任意实施方式中,所述绝缘层包含氧化铝、勃姆石、氧化锆、氧化钛、氧化镁、氧化钴、氧化镍、氧化镓、氧化锗、氧化钇、氧化锶、氧化钡、氧化钼中的至少一种。由此能够通过物理作用形成阻隔,抑制锂枝晶的生长。
在任意实施方式中,所述电池满足:
Figure PCTCN2021123995-appb-000001
d:反应层的厚度,单位为μm;
A1:正极极片的单位面积正极活性物质的容量,单位为mAh/cm 2
B1:负极极片的单位面积负极活性物质的容量,单位为mAh/cm 2
m1:反应层的克容量,单位为mAh/g;
ρ:反应层的密度,单位为g/cm 3
通过使反应层的厚度与正极极片和负极极片中单位面积的活性物质层的容量满足上述关系,能够使反应层充分吸收掉穿过绝缘层的锂枝晶,保证了二次电池的安全性和循环性能。
在任意实施方式中,所述反应层的克容量m1满足m1≥150mAh/g,可选为1000mAh/g≤m1≤2500mAh/g。由此,能够更好地吸收锂枝晶,且减小反应层所占的体积。
在任意实施方式中,所述反应层的密度ρ满足0.2g/cm 3≤ρ≤3g/cm 3,可选为1g/cm 3≤ρ≤2g/cm 3。由此,能够更好地吸收锂枝晶。
在任意实施方式中,所述反应层的厚度为1μm-30μm,可选为2μm-30μm,由此能够在充分吸收锂枝晶的同时,不增大电池的体积。
在任意实施方式中,所述绝缘层的厚度为1μm-10μm,可选为2μm-4μm。由此在发挥物理阻隔作用的同时,不增大电池的体积。
在任意实施方式中,所述绝缘层的杨氏模量大于等于6GPa,可选为6GPa-30GPa。由此能够更好地发挥物理阻隔作用。
在任意实施方式中,所述反应层中材料的颗粒粒径为0.1μm-4μm,可选为0.1μm-0.8μm;和/或,所述绝缘层中材料的颗粒粒径为0.1μm-10μm,可选为0.1μm-4μm。由此能够更好地发挥反应层和绝缘层各自的防析锂作用。
在任意实施方式中,所述负极极片中单位面积的负极活性物质层的容量B1为0.3mAh/cm 2-7mAh/cm 2,可选为1mAh/cm 2-5mAh/cm 2
在任意实施方式中,所述正极极片中单位面积的正极活性物质层的容量A1为1mAh/cm 2-7mAh/cm 2,可选为2mAh/cm 2-5mAh/cm 2。由此,能够提高电池的能量密度。
本申请的第二方面还提供一种电池模块,包括本申请的第一方面的二次电池。
本申请的第三方面提供一种电池包,包括本申请的第二方面的电池模块。
本申请的第四方面提供一种用电装置,包括选自本申请的第一方面的二次电池、本申请的第二方面的电池模块或本申请的第三方面的电池包中的至少一种。
本申请能够发挥如下的技术效果:
防止电池使用过程中析锂后所形成的锂枝晶刺破隔离膜,导致电池短路失效。具体而言,当电芯析锂形成锂枝晶时,绝缘层可以通过物理作用形成阻隔,抑制锂枝晶的生长,当析锂量过大时,锂枝晶穿透绝缘层后,反应层能够与其发生反应,将穿过绝缘层的那部分锂枝晶消融掉。
此外,负极上的两个涂层、即绝缘层和反应层,能够防止电池制 造缺陷例如极耳内插、极片翻折、不慎掉入粉尘颗粒等所导致的失效。具体而言,当发生极耳翻折时,绝缘层和反应层可以起到增大短路电阻的作用,防止正极的铝箔、粉尘颗粒等接触到负极活性物质层。
本申请使用的正极容量大于负极容量的设计可以提升能量密度,但如果不增加上述涂层,该设计会由于锂枝晶的形成导致失效,增加上述涂层后,该设计就可以被安全使用。
本申请在负极上设置的两个涂层具有协同作用,绝缘层的抑制枝晶的作用可以防止反应层在起初就导电,发生容量损失,二者结和,使得反应层只针对冒出来并且有风险的枝晶进行反应,提高了电池的安全性能,最终得到既有高能量密度又具有高安全性的电池。

本申请的一个实施方式中,提出了一种二次电池,其包括正极极片和负极极片,上述负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,上述负极活性物质层设置在上述负极集流体的至少一个表面上,上述负极活性物质层的与上述负极集流体侧相反一侧的表面依次设置有绝缘层和反应层,且上述反应层包括石墨、硅、氧化硅、氧化亚硅、氧化锡、氧化铜、氧化锌中的至少一种,上述正极极片中单位面积的正极活性物质层的容量记为A1,上述负极极片中单位面积的负极活性物质层的容量记为B1,则B1/A1<1。
在一些实施方式中,0.3≤B1/A1<1,例如0.5≤B1/A1≤0.91。可以跟进客户要求进行设计,比如使用场景为高续航,但是不需要进行长循环,就可以使用极低B1/A1的设计。B1/A1值与正负极活性材料的理论克容量、正负极的涂布厚度以及活性材料的占比等有关。
从电池设计上讲,为了防止电池在使用过程中发生析锂,电池的正负极容量比一般需要小于一定数值,才能保证电池在正常使用过程中不发生明显的析锂,导致电池失效。虽然这样设置正负极容量比能避免析锂,但会导致电芯厚度较厚,严重降低电池的能量密度。
而本申请与常规电池相反,通过使正极极片中单位面积的正极活性物质层的容量(以下有时也简称为正极容量)大于负极极片中单位面积的负极活性物质层的容量(以下有时也简称为负极容量),能够使电池的能量密度高于常规电池。但本申请使用的正极容量大于负极容量的设计中,会由于大量锂枝晶的形成而导致电池失效。而本申请的申请人发现通过设置特殊的层结构,特别是在负极活性物质层的表面设置绝缘层和反应层,即,复合涂层,能够有效防止析锂问题。这样一来,本发明的电池即实现了二次电池的能量密度的提高,同时也解决了安全上的隐患。
在本发明的电池中,在负极活性物质层的表面上设置的绝缘层以物理作用来防止锂枝晶刺破隔离膜的层,在绝缘层上设置的反应层以化学作用来防止锂枝晶刺破隔离膜的层。绝缘层可以是涂覆在负极活性物质层的表面上的涂层,反应层可以是涂覆在绝缘层上的涂层。设置这种绝缘层和反应层后,保证了电池的安全性。正极容量大于负极容量的电池在任何一次循环的过程中,都会析锂,大部分的锂层存在于绝缘层下面,有部分析出的锂形成锂枝晶穿透绝缘层,穿过绝缘层的锂枝晶触碰到反应层后会被反应层吸收掉,也就使得枝晶不再生长。
反应层中可以使用的材料只要能够起到与锂枝晶发生化学反应的作用即可,从而能够防止锂枝晶刺破隔离膜,例如可以使用与负极活性物质层中相同的活性物质。作为这样的可逆地与锂枝晶发生反应的材料,可以列举例如石墨、硅、氧化硅、氧化亚硅等,特别可选使用氧化亚硅。另外,由于形成穿透绝缘层被反应层消耗的锂枝晶的锂离子在整个电池当中占比并不是太多,所以反应层即使是不可逆地与锂枝晶发生反应的材料,对容量的影响也很小。作为这样的不可逆材料可以列举例如氧化锡、氧化铜、氧化锌等,这类物质可以与金属锂形成LiM合金,有助于锂的更好的沉积。
在一些实施方式中,上述绝缘层包含氧化铝、勃姆石、氧化锆、氧化钛、氧化镁、氧化钴、氧化镍、氧化镓、氧化锗、氧化钇、氧化锶、氧化钡、氧化钼中的至少一种。特别可选使用勃姆石。通过由包含上述物质的材料形成绝缘层,能够通过物理作用形成阻隔,防止电池使用过程中产生的锂枝晶刺穿隔离膜,保证了电池的安全性。
在一些实施方式中,上述电池满足:
Figure PCTCN2021123995-appb-000002
d:反应层的厚度,单位为μm;
A1:正极极片的单位面积正极活性物质的容量,单位为mAh/cm 2
B1:负极极片的单位面积负极活性物质的容量,单位为mAh/cm 2
m1:反应层的克容量,单位为mAh/g;
ρ:反应层的密度,单位为g/cm 3
通过使反应层的厚度与正极极片和负极极片的单位面积活性物质的容量满足上述关系,能够使反应层充分吸收掉穿过绝缘层的锂枝晶,保证了二次电池的安全性和循环性能,而且也能够保证不过分增大电池体积。
在一些实施方式中,上述反应层的克容量m1满足m1≥150mAh/g,可选为150mAh/g-3000mAh/g,更可选为1000mAh/g-2500mAh/g。由此,能够更好地吸收锂枝晶,且减小反应层所占的体积。
在一些实施方式中,上述反应层的密度ρ满足0.2g/cm 3≤ρ≤3g/cm 3,可选为1g/cm 3≤ρ≤2g/cm 3。由此,能够更好地吸收锂枝晶。
在一些实施方式中,上述反应层的厚度为1μm-30μm,可选为2μm-30μm,由此能够在充分吸收锂枝晶的同时,不增大电池的体积。
在一些实施方式中,上述绝缘层的厚度为1μm-10μm,可选为2μm-4μm。由此,在通过物理作用形成阻隔的同时,不增大电池的体积。绝缘层的厚度取决于构成绝缘层的材料的颗粒大小和形成绝缘层的工艺,一定范围的厚度并不影响循环性能,如果工艺可以满足要求,越薄越好,但前提是可以做到完全绝缘,否则在初期就会消耗活性锂。
在一些实施方式中,上述绝缘层的杨氏模量大于等于6GPa,可选为6GPa-30GPa。由此能够更好地发挥物理阻隔作用。锂枝晶的机械刺穿强度是6GPa,为了发挥物理阻隔作用,绝缘层的杨氏模量需要大于等于6GPa。
在一些实施方式中,构成上述反应层的材料的颗粒粒径为0.1μm-4μm,可选为0.1μm-0.8μm;和/或,构成上述绝缘层的材料的颗粒粒径为0.1μm-10μm,可选为0.1μm-4μm。其中,反应层中材料的颗粒粒径不大于反应层的厚度,绝缘层中材料的颗粒粒径不大于绝缘层的厚度。由此能够更好地发挥反应层和绝缘层各自的防止析锂作用。
在一些实施方式中,上述负极极片中单位面积的负极活性物质层的容量为0.3mAh/cm 2-7mAh/cm 2,可选为1mAh/cm 2-5mAh/cm 2。在一些实施方式中,上述正极极片中单位面积的正极活性物质层的容量为1mAh/cm 2-7mAh/cm 2,可选为2mAh/cm 2-5mAh/cm 2。由此,能够提高电池的能量密度。

比较例1~6
按照表3所示改变反应条件,除此以外,与实施例1同样进行,制备二次电池。
其中,比较例1~3的B1/A1的值大于1,不设置绝缘层和反应层的至少一者,比较例4~6的B1/A1的值小于1时,不设置绝缘层和反应层的至少一者。

根据上述结果可知,实施例在体积能量密度和循环寿命上均表现出了良好的效果。而相对于此,比较例并不能兼顾体积能量密度和循环寿命两者。具体而言,比较例1~3研究了在B1/A1的值大于1时,绝缘层和反应层的作用,比较例4和比较例5研究了在B1/A1的值小于1时,绝缘层和反应层的作用,通过与比较例1比较可知,比较例4在减小B1/A1的值时,能够提高体积能量密度,但是在没有设置绝缘层和反应层时,循环寿命极差。而从比较例5可知,仅设置绝缘层而不设置反应层时,循环寿命仍很差。从比较例6可知,仅设置反应层而不设置绝缘层时,循环寿命得到极大提高,但是循环寿命仍旧短于既设置反应层又设置绝缘层的实施例11。由此可知,通过在负极极片上设置反应层和绝缘层,能够具有大幅提高安全性的协同效果。
需要说明的是,本申请不限定于上述实施方式。上述实施方式仅为示例,在本申请的技术方案范围内具有与技术思想实质相同的构成、发挥相同作用效果的实施方式均包含在本申请的技术范围内。此外,在不脱离本申请主旨的范围内,对实施方式施加本领域技术人员能够想到的各种变形、将实施方式中的一部分构成要素加以组合而构筑的其它方式也包含在本申请的范围内。
