厚度增长率=(高温存储后厚度-高温存储前厚度)/高温存储前厚度×100%。
3、锂离子二次电池直流阻抗测试(DCR测试):
将以上实施例及对比例的锂离子电池成品置于25℃的恒温箱中搁置5分钟,以1C的倍率恒流充电至3.6V,再恒压充电至电流小于等于0.05C,静置30分钟,以0.1C的电流放电10秒(0.1秒取点一次,记录对应电压值U1),以1C的电流放电360秒(0.1秒取点一次,记录对应电压值U2)。重复充放电步骤5次。“1C”是在1小时内将电池容量完全放完的电流值。
按如下公式计算得出直流阻抗(DCR):R=(U1-U2)/(1C-0.1C)。所得出的DCR即为 本申请的浓差极化阻抗,其为50%SOC(即荷电状态,state of charge)状态下的值,即实施例中的50%SOC DCR,单位为毫欧姆。
4、负极材料的OI值测试:
OI值采用X射线衍射仪进行测试(例如Bruker D8Discover型X射线衍射仪),可以参考JISK 0131-1996。具体方法:将所述负极极片直接置于X射线衍射仪中,通过X射线分析法得到负极极片中负极活性材料的004晶面衍射峰的峰面积C004以及110晶面衍射峰的峰面积C110,负极极片的OI值=C004/C110
5、负极材料的BET值测试:
所述负极的比表面积BET可以采用本领域已知的方法测试。例如可以参照GB/T19587-2017,采用氮气吸附比表面积分析测试方法测试,并用BET(Brunauer Emment Teller)法计算得出,其中氮气吸附比表面积分析测试可以通过美国Micromeritics公司的Tri-Star 3020型比表面积孔径分析测试仪测试。首先拆解实施例及对比例中所述的电池,把拆出来的负极片浸泡在分散剂中,以便负极材料分散到分散剂中(乙醇),然后超声30分钟后,将得到的材料放入真空干燥箱中干燥,最后使用比表面积测试仪对负极材料比表面积进行测量。
6、负极材料的Dv50值测试:
在本申请中,所述负极活性材料的Dv50值可参照标准GB/T 19077.1-2016,使用激光粒度分析仪(如Malvern Master Size 300)测定。其中,Dv50表示所述负极活性材料的累计体积分布百分数达到50%时所对应的粒径。
根据上述测试方法测试所制备的锂离子电池,测试结果如表1和表2所示
[表1]

通过表1中实施例1-30与对比例1-3对比,当负极材料的OI值较小时,
负极极片的压实密度在合适范围,天然石墨在嵌锂过程中的方向选择性较小,嵌锂膨胀可被分散到各个方向,降低极片和电池的循环膨胀,由于碳酸亚乙烯酯及氟代碳酸乙烯 酯形成的SEI膜阻抗较大,因此在保证性能的前提下应适量的添加添加剂;而当负极材料的OI值较大时,极片和电池的循环膨胀较严重,且材料端面变多导致表面副反应会增多,产气恶化,这时需要更多的碳酸亚乙烯酯及氟代碳酸乙烯酯对负极材料进行保护,改善膨胀及产气问题,所以当0.3≤a/(b+c)≤6时,锂离子电池具有较优的循环性能和低的阻抗;另外,碳酸亚乙烯酯主要生成PEO型聚合物SEI膜,氟代碳酸乙烯酯主要生成LiF等含无机成分SEI膜,两者含量要满足0.01≤b+c≤10、0.5≤b/c≤2.5时才能在负极表面形成富含有机和无机成分的SEI膜,该膜具有一定的韧性和弹性,能够减少因为天然石墨体积膨胀带来的SEI膜破坏进而引起的循环和存储性能恶化等一系列问题;且适当的电解液保有量可以提高电池的循环性能。
[表2]
表2中实施例31-44和实施例27和对比例4、对比例5相比,当负极材料的BET过大时,材料表面副反应会增多导致DCR及产气恶化,另外BET较大带来的材料水分含量 升高会进一步导致HF升高;当负极材料的BET过小时,锂离子传输速度较慢,影响循环性能。在电解液中添加式(II)所表示的含氮杂环化合物B,可以显著改善电池的高温存储性能,这主要是由于含氮杂环化合物在负极表面可以形成稳定的SEI膜,抑制循环和存储过程中溶剂和其他成膜添加剂的消耗;另外,式(II)所表示的含氮杂环化合物B中的含氮阳离子部分不仅能够促进锂盐解离,还能与路易斯碱如碳酸乙烯酯(EC)等络合,提高EC电解液氧化稳定性。但是含氮杂环化合物含量过高时存储不会进一步改善,这会导致形成的SEI膜过厚使阻抗增加,进而增加DCR值,因此可以适当添加式(II)所表示的含氮杂环化合物B,使其发挥最优的性能。
尽管已经演示和描述了说明性实施例,本领域技术人员应该理解上述实施例不能被解释为对本申请的限制,并且可以在不脱离本申请的精神、原理及范围的情况下对实施例进行改变,替代和修改。
