负极脱锂容量其测试方法为:在PRS340/11-119-11布劳恩手套箱中拆解电池,取负极极片,组装成负极-锂片的CR2430型号半扣式电池,采用的负极极片面积为f mm 2,其中电解液采用1M LiPF6于EC/EMC/DEC=3/5/2中的溶液;然后将组装好的半扣式电池静置3h,测试在25℃下进行,采用0.1C先在电压区间2V-0V下进行放电(Discharge)嵌锂,再采用0.05C充电(Discharge)脱锂至2V,循环2次,取第二次循环的放电扣电容量记为ZmAh,实际电池设计的负极膜片长为h mm,宽为i mm,负极活性材料涂覆于负极集流体的面数d,则负极脱锂容量为W=Z/f*h*i*d。
则CB=W/X。
2、充电能力测试
倍率性能测试(充电至80%SOC的测试):调节测试温度至35℃,对锂离子电池进行xC倍率(x为0.5、0.8、1、1.2、1.5、2、2.5、3)下的充电,然后在1C下放电,充 电倍率依次增高,以阳极电位0V为充电截止条件,获得0-10%SOC、10-20%SOC、20-30%SOC、30-40%SOC、40-50%SOC、50-60%SOC、60-70%SOC区间内能够实现的最大充电倍率,从而计算出0~80%SOC所需的充电时间(min)。
3、循环性能测试
在25℃下,将二次电池以1C恒流充电至4.3V,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%。
