铜箔集流体是二次电池必不可少的组成部件之一,而为了进一步提高二次电池的能量密度,铜箔集流体减薄依然是目前最有效的措施之一。尽管铜箔集流体减薄可以降低成本并提升二次电池的能量密度,但该方案在工业上却难以实际应用。主要原因包括如下几点:第一,铜箔集流体减薄后,铜箔电阻增加,由此导致电池内阻增加、功率性能变差;第二,由于铜箔是一种良好的热导体材料,其减薄后会导致二次电池产热量增加、散热困难,由此增加二次电池的安全隐患。
此外,高功率型电池在使用中要求放电电流较大,因此放电过程中产热量较高,高温下非水电解液在正极和负极界面的分解反应显著增加,由此引起正极界面阻抗和负极界面阻抗显著增加,二次电池功率性能变差。目前,为了获得高功率型电池,铜箔集流体加厚是常用的措施之一。
因此,目前通过负极集流体减薄提高二次电池能量密度的方案在实际应用中尚面临诸多困难,例如功率性能变差、安全隐患增加等。
本申请的发明人在研究过程中惊喜发现,通过采用合适的非水电解液能够解决负极集流体减薄后带来的功率性能变差、安全隐患增加等问题,从而能使二次电池同时兼顾低成本、高能量密度、高功率性能和高安全性能。
具体地,本申请实施方式提供了一种二次电池。
二次电池又称为充电电池或蓄电池,是指在电池放电后可通过充电的方式使活性材料激活而继续使用的电池。本申请的二次电池可为锂二次电池,特别地可为锂离子二次电池。二次电池包括电极组件、非水电解液以及外包装,外包装用于封装电极组件和 非水电解液。电极组件通常包括正极极片,电极组件还可以包括负极极片和隔离膜。隔离膜设置在正极极片和负极极片之间,主要起到防止正极和负极短路的作用,同时可以使锂离子通过。在一些实施例中,所述正极极片、所述隔离膜和所述负极极片可通过卷绕工艺或叠片工艺制成电极组件。
所述正极极片包括正极集流体以及位于所述正极集流体至少一个表面上的正极活性材料层,例如,所述正极集流体具有在自身厚度方向相对的两个表面,所述正极活性材料层设置于所述正极集流体的两个相对表面中的任意一者或两者上。所述负极极片包括负极集流体以及位于所述负极集流体至少一个表面上的负极活性材料层,例如,所述负极集流体具有在自身厚度方向相对的两个表面,所述负极活性材料层设置在所述负极集流体的两个相对表面中的任意一者或两者上。在二次电池充放电过程中,锂离子在正极极片和负极极片之间往返嵌入和脱出。非水电解液包括锂盐和有机溶剂,用于在正极极片和负极极片之间起到传导锂离子的作用。

基于所述非水电解液的总质量计,所述式1所示化合物的质量百分含量为A1%,所述负极集流体的厚度为H1μm,所述负极活性材料层的压实密度为P1g/cm 3,并且所述二次电池满足:H1为3至7,A1/H1为0.003至0.40和P1/A1为1至90。
在本申请中,负极集流体的厚度H1μm满足H1在3至7之间,可选地,H1可以在3至6.5之间,在3至6之间,3至5.5之间或3至5之间。
本申请的发明人在研究过程中发现,在采用减薄负极集流体的二次电池中,当非水电解液含有式1所示化合物并且通过控制其含量A1%与负极集流体的厚度H1μm和负极活性材料层的压实密度P1g/cm 3之间的关系,使二次电池满足A1/H1为0.003至0.40和P1/A1为1至90时,二次电池能同时兼顾低成本、高能量密度、高功率性能和高安全性能。
尽管机理尚不明确,发明人推测可能的原因包括如下几点。
第一,式1所示化合物分子结构中含有氟原子,其能优先于有机溶剂在负极活性材料表面被还原,并且其还原产物还具体低阻抗的特性,由此有助于形成低阻抗的负极界面膜;同时,式1所示化合物分子结构中的B原子还易与负极界面膜中的LiF等无机组分牢固地结合,由此可加快锂离子传输并明显降低电池内阻,使二次电池在具有高能量密度的同时还具有高功率性能,能够进行大电流放电。
第二,式1所示化合物自身热稳定性较高,例如优于常见的LiPF 6,从而有助于提高非水电解液整体的耐热性;同时式1所示化合物对水分不如LiPF 6敏感,从而还有助于 提高非水电解液的耐水性,减少HF形成并降低非水电解液酸度。因此,本申请的非水电解液可具有较高的热稳定性和电化学稳定性,由此能够减少高温下非水电解液的分解反应,降低电池内阻。根据焦耳定律还可知,二次电池的产热量与电池内阻直接相关,因此电池内阻降低后,二次电池的产热量也降低,进而能使二次电池在具有高能量密度的同时还具有高功率性能和高安全性能。
第三,发明人还惊喜发现,由于式1所示化合物中的阴离子半径较大,容易被还原,因此从其分子结构中解离出的锂离子还可以成为活性锂离子,贡献部分容量,从而有助于提高二次电池的能量密度。
因此,当非水电解液中含有式1所示化合物时,有助于在负极活性材料表面形成低阻抗的界面膜,改善二次电池的功率性能和安全性能,同时还有助于增加活性锂离子数量,贡献部分容量。但是,本申请的发明人在进一步研究中发现,式1所示化合物的含量还需要与负极集流体的厚度和负极活性材料层的压实密度进行合理搭配,以有效降低负极集流体减薄后对功率性能和安全性能的负面影响,使二次电池同时兼顾低成本、高能量密度、高功率性能和高安全性能。
在本申请中,式1所示化合物的含量A1%与负极集流体的厚度H1μm满足A1/H1在0.003至0.40之间。A1/H1小于0.003时,负极集流体较厚而式1所示化合物含量较低,不能形成低阻抗的负极界面膜,由此负极界面阻抗较高,不能有效降低负极集流体减薄对电池内阻和产热量的恶化,因此,二次电池的功率性能和安全性能较差,同时式1所示化合物也不能起到贡献活性锂离子的作用;A1/H1大于0.40时,负极集流体较薄而式1所示化合物含量较高,导致形成过厚的负极界面膜,由此负极界面阻抗也较高,进而电池内阻和产热量较高,二次电池的功率性能和安全性能较差。可选地,A1/H1为0.003至0.30,0.003至0.25,0.003至0.20,0.003至0.16,0.003至0.12,0.003至0.10,0.003至0.08,0.003至0.06,0.01至0.30,0.01至0.25,0.01至0.20,0.01至0.16,0.01至0.12,0.01至0.10,0.01至0.08或0.01至0.06。
在本申请中,式1所示化合物的含量A1%与负极活性材料层的压实密度P1g/cm 3满足P1/A1在1至90之间,由此,式1所示化合物有助于在负极活性材料表面形成低阻抗的界面膜,一方面有助于增加锂离子传输,另一方面能够降低负极界面阻抗,从而能够有效降低负极集流体减薄对电池内阻和产热量的恶化,使二次电池同时具有高功率性能和高安全性能。P1/A1小于1时,负极活性材料层的压实密度较小而式1所示化合物含量较高,导致形成过厚的负极界面膜,由此负极界面阻抗较高,进而电池内阻和产热量较高,二次电池的功率性能和安全性能较差;P1/A1大于90时,负极活性材料层的压实密度较大而式1所示化合物含量较低,从而没有足够的式1所示化合物在负极活性材料表面形成低阻抗的界面膜,不能有效降低负极集流体减薄对电池内阻和产热量的恶化,因此,二次电池的功率性能和安全性能较差。可选地,P1/A1为1.5至90,1.5至75,1.5至50,1.5至35,1.5至30,1.5至25,1.5至20,1.5至15,1.5至10,3至90,3至75,3至50,3至35,3至30,3至25,3至20,3至15,3至10,5至90,5至75,5至50,5至35,5至30,5至25,5至20,5至15或5至10。
在一些实施例中,所述负极集流体采用铜箔或铜合金箔。所述铜箔可以为压延铜箔或电解铜箔。作为铜合金箔可以采用Cu-Ag、Cu-Te、Cu-Mg、Cu-Sn、Cu-Si、Cu-Mn、 Cu-Be-Co、Cu-Ti、Cu-Ni-Si、Cu-Cr、Cu-Zr、Cu-Fe、Cu-Al、Cu-Zn、Cu-Co等合金箔。
在一些实施例中,所述正极集流体的厚度为H2μm,H2为4至14,可选地,H2可以为4至13,4至12,4至11,4至10,4至9或4至8。
通过正极集流体减薄有助于进一提升二次电池的能量密度。但是,正极集流体减薄后,电阻和产热量增加,由此导致二次电池的功率性能和安全性能较差;此外,铝箔集流体减薄后,其自身强度变差,同时为了进一步提高二次电池的能量密度,减薄的正极集流体通常搭配较高的压实密度使用,从而在辊压过程中容易出现正极极片被压断情况,由此还会影响正极极片和二次电池的加工性能。
本申请的发明人在进一步研究过程中还发现,当式1所示化合物的含量A1%与正极集流体的厚度H2μm、正极集流体的断裂延伸率Q%和正极活性材料层的压实密度P2g/cm 3进一步满足H2为4至14,A1/H2为0.0015至0.20,Q+A1为1至4和P2/A1为2至340时,有助于改善正极集流体减薄后对二次电池功率性能、安全性能和加工性能的负面影响。
可能的原因在于,式1所示化合物分子结构中含有草酸根基团,其还能优先于有机溶剂在正极活性材料表面被氧化,并且其氧化产物还具体低阻抗的特性,由此有助于形成低阻抗的正极界面膜;同时,式1所示化合物分子结构中的B原子还易与正极界面膜中的LiF等无机组分牢固地结合,由此可加快锂离子传输并明显降低电池内阻和产热量;此外,式1所示化合物分子结构中的B-O键能与Al 3+键合并在正极集流体表面形成一层钝化膜,从而有助于提高正极集流体的强度,改善正极极片的加工性能,减少甚至避免断带情况发生。
可选地,式1所示化合物的含量A1%与正极集流体的厚度H2μm满足A1/H2在0.0015至0.20之间,由此,式1所示化合物分子结构中的B-O键能与Al 3+更好地键合并在正极集流体表面形成具有合适厚度的钝化膜,从而有助于提高正极集流体的强度,改善正极极片的加工性能,减少甚至避免断带情况发生。并且能够有效避免以下情况:A1/H2小于0.0015时,可能没有足够的式1所示化合物与Al 3+键合并在正极集流体表面形成钝化膜,由此正极极片和二次电池的加工性能可能较差;A1/H2大于0.20时,式1所示化合物含量较高,可能形成较厚的正极界面膜,导致正极界面阻抗可能增加,由此导致电池内阻和产热量较高,二次电池的功率性能和安全性能可能变差。更可选地,A1/H2为0.002至0.15,0.002至0.1,0.002至0.08,0.002至0.07,0.002至0.06,0.002至0.05,0.005至0.15,0.005至0.1,0.005至0.08,0.005至0.07,0.005至0.06,0.005至0.05,0.01至0.15,0.01至0.1,0.01至0.08,0.01至0.07,0.01至0.06或0.01至0.05。

可选地,在一些实施例中,所述有机溶剂至少包括环状碳酸酯化合物和链状碳酸酯化合物。六氟磷酸锂等锂盐含量较高时,非水电解液的粘度增加、离子电导率降低,不利于锂离子的传输。而环状碳酸酯化合物由于具有较高的介电常数,可以增加非水电解液的离子电导率,链状碳酸酯化合物由于具有较小的粘度,可以降低非水电解液的粘度。因此,当有机溶剂同时包括环状碳酸酯化合物和链状碳酸酯化合物时,有助于使非水电解液具有合适的粘度和离子电导率,进而有利于锂离子的传输。
环状碳酸酯化合物具有较高的介电常数,有助于增加非水电解液的离子电导率,但容易发生分解反应,影响二次电池的存储性能,因此,其含量需要控制在合适的范围内。在一些实施例中,所述环状碳酸酯化合物的质量百分含量为B1%,B1大于0且小于等于20,基于所述非水电解液的总质量计。可选地,B1为0.5至20,1至20,2至20,5 至20,10至20,12至20,15至20或15至18。

测试部分
(1)二次电池质量能量密度测试
在25℃下,将二次电池以0.33C恒流充电至4.25V,继续恒压充电至电流为0.05C;将二次电池静置5min后,以0.33C恒流放电至2.8V,得到放电能量。二次电池的质量能量密度(Wh/Kg)=放电能量/二次电池的质量。
(2)二次电池功率性能测试
在25℃下,将二次电池以0.1C恒流充电至4.25V,继续恒压充电至电流为0.05C,此时二次电池为满充状态;将二次电池以1C恒流放电约30分钟并调整二次电池的荷电状态为50%SOC,此时二次电池的电压记为V 0;将二次电池以4C的电流I 1放电30秒,采用0.1秒采点,放电末期电压记为V 1。二次电池的内阻DCR=(V 0-V 1)/I 1。二次电池的内阻越小,功率性能越好。
(3)二次电池热箱安全性能测试
在25℃下,将二次电池以0.1C恒流充电至4.25V,继续恒压充电至电流为0.05C,此时二次电池为满充状态;将满充状态的二次电池置于密封良好的高温箱中,以5℃/min升温至100℃,保持1小时后以5℃/min升温至105℃,保持30分钟;之后以5℃/min升温速率每升高5℃后保持30min,直至二次电池失效,记录二次电池失效前的最高温度T max。T max越高,二次电池的热箱安全性能越好。
(4)二次电池循环性能测试
在45℃下,将二次电池以1C恒流充电至4.25V,继续恒压充电至电流为0.05C,此时二次电池为满充状态,记录此时的充电容量,即为第1圈充电容量;将二次电池静置5min后,以1C恒流放电至2.8V,此为一个循环充放电过程,记录此时的放电容量,即为第1圈放电容量。将二次电池按照上述方法进行循环充放电测试,记录每圈循环后的放电容量。二次电池45℃循环600圈容量保持率(%)=600圈循环后的放电容量/第1圈放电容量×100%。
(5)二次电池存储性能测试
在60℃下,将二次电池以1C恒流充电到4.25V,继续恒压充电至电流为0.05C,此时用排水法测试二次电池的体积并记为V 0;将二次电池放入60℃的恒温箱,存储30天后取出,此时用排水法测试二次电池的体积并记为V 1。二次电池60℃存储30天后的体积膨胀率(%)=[(V 1-V 0)/V 0]×100%。

综合表1和表2测试结果可知,在采用减薄负极集流体的二次电池中,当非水电解液含有式1所示化合物并且其含量A1%与负极集流体的厚度H1μm和负极活性材料层的压实密度P1g/cm 3满足A1/H1为0.003至0.40和P1/A1为1至90时,二次电池能同时兼顾较高的能量密度、较低的内阻、较高的热箱安全性能、较高的容量保持率以及较低的体积膨胀率。
综合实施例1至9和对比例2的测试结果可知,A1/H1小于0.003和/或P1/A1大于90时,没有足够的式1所示化合物形成低阻抗的负极界面膜,由此负极界面阻抗较高,不能有效降低负极集流体减薄对电池内阻和产热量的恶化,因此,二次电池的功率性能和安全性能较差,同时二次电池容量保持率增加也有限。
综合实施例1至9和对比例3至4的测试结果可知,A1/H1小于大于0.40和/或P1/A1小于1时,过多的式1所示化合物会导致负极界面阻抗不降反增,由此二次电池的内阻较高、容量保持率较差;尽管式1所示化合物可贡献部分活性锂离子,略增加二次电池的能量密度,但是阴离子的分解导致电池内部产气量较高、热箱安全性能明显变差。
综合表1和表2的测试结果还可知,当二次电池还采用减薄的正极集流体时,通过使式1所示化合物的含量A1%与正极集流体的厚度H2μm、正极集流体的断裂延伸率Q%和正极活性材料层的压实密度P2g/cm 3满足A1/H2为0.0015至0.20,Q+A1为1至4和P2/A1为2至340时,二次电池能在具有较低的内阻、较高的热箱安全性能、较高的容量保持率以及较低的体积膨胀率的前提下具有进一步提升的能量密度。可能的原因在于,式1所示化合物还能优先于有机溶剂在正极活性材料表面被氧化,并且其氧化产物还具体低阻抗的特性,由此有助于形成低阻抗的正极界面膜;同时,式1所示化合物分子结构中的B原子还易与正极界面膜中的LiF等无机组分牢固地结合,由此可加快锂离子传输并明显降低电池内阻和产热量。
