Definitions
- the present application relates to the technical field of secondary batteries, and in particular to a lithium-supplementing electrode sheet and a preparation method thereof, as well as a battery and an electrical device comprising the lithium-supplementing electrode sheet.
- Positive electrode lithium replenishment is the addition of lithium-containing compounds with high irreversible capacity to the positive electrode of the lithium-ion battery.
- it can be divided into binary lithium-containing compounds represented by Li 2 O, Li 2 O 2 , and Li 2 S, ternary lithium-containing compounds represented by Li 6 CoO 4 and Li 5 FeO 4 , and organic lithium-containing compounds represented by Li 2 DHBN and Li 2 C 2 O 4 .
- Positive electrode lithium replenishment materials can be added directly during the homogenization process of the positive electrode slurry, without the need for additional process improvements and at a lower cost, making them more suitable for the current lithium-ion battery manufacturing process and hailed as the most promising lithium replenishment technology.
- the positive electrode lithium replenishment material has difficulty in effectively exerting its capacity during the process of exerting its capacity.
- the main purpose of this application is to provide a lithium-replenishing electrode, aiming to improve the capacity of the lithium-replenishing agent in the lithium-replenishing electrode and improve the battery life.
- the present application proposes a lithium replenishing electrode, which includes a current collector and a coating area arranged on at least one side of the current collector, the coating area includes at least two active layers, and the at least two active layers include a pore former.
- the two adjacent active layers including the pore former are defined as a first active layer and a second active layer, respectively.
- the first active layer is arranged on the current collector, and the second active layer is arranged on the side of the first active layer away from the current collector, and the porosity in the second active layer is greater than the porosity in the first active layer.
- the porosity formed by the pore former in the second active layer is greater than the porosity formed by the pore former in the first active layer.
- the present application forms different porosities in different active layers through pore-forming agents, and the large porosity of the second active layer close to the electrolyte side is beneficial to improving the electrolyte wettability of the second active layer, improving the efficiency of the first active layer contacting the electrolyte, and further improving the capacity of the lithium supplement in the first active layer to improve the battery life.
- the pore former comprises a self-sacrificial lithium salt.
- self-sacrificial lithium salt is used as a pore-forming agent, which is beneficial to improving the energy density of the electrode and avoiding other pore-forming agents that do not exert their capacity occupying the electrode space, resulting in a decrease in the energy density of the electrode.
- a volume change value of the self-sacrificial lithium salt in the second active layer before and after the reaction is greater than a volume change value of the self-sacrificial lithium salt in the first active layer before and after the reaction.
- the self-sacrificial lithium salt exerts its capacity or reacts, voids are generated.

Therefore, the total concentration x% of self-sacrificial lithium salt is not less than 2%; at the same time, too much lithium supplement and lithium supplement generally have poor conductivity.

Compared with Example 5, under the same total concentration of self-sacrificial lithium salt, the performance of the layered lithium-replenishing electrode sheet is better than that of the single-layer lithium-replenishing electrode sheet. For example, the capacity retention rate and the capacity utilization performance of the lithium-replenishing material of Example 5 are higher than those of Comparative Example 3.
- Embodiments 2 and 3 are lithium-supplementing electrodes comprising three active layers. Compared with Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 5, the more layers there are, the faster the electrolyte infiltration rate is, and the higher the rate performance is.

自牺牲锂盐在发挥容量后或发生反应后产生空隙,为了使第二活性层的孔隙率大于第一活性层的孔隙率,则第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的反应前后的体积变化值大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的反应前后的体积变化值。可以理解的是,在第一活性层和第二活性层采用同种自牺牲锂盐的情况下,第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度;还可以理解的是,在第一活性层和第二活性层采用不同种自牺牲锂盐的情况下,自牺牲锂盐反应前后的体积变化值越大,留下的孔越大,越适合第二活性层,例如,草酸Li2C2O4、Li2O、Li2O2会直接反应完,体积变化值最大,适合第二活性层,相比之下,Li2S可以应用于第一活性层,以实现两活性层具有孔隙率差。
可选地,所述第二活性层中的至少一种自牺牲锂盐与所述第一活性层中的至少一种自牺牲锂盐种类不同时,所述第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于等于所述第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度。
考虑到活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的种类可能是多种,当第二活性层中的至少一种自牺牲锂盐与第一活性层中的至少一种自牺牲锂盐种类不同时,第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于等于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度。例如,当两种不同的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值相同时,则第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度在大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度时,可以形成两活性层具有孔隙率差。当两种不同的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值不同时,且第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值,则第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度可以在等于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度时,可以形成两活性层具有孔隙率差。
可选地,所述第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐与所述第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐种类相同时,所述第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于所述第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度。
在第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐与第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐种类相同时,两层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值相同,此时需要第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度,如此可以形成两活性层具有孔隙率差。

可选地,定义所述至少两活性层从靠近所述集流体到远离所述集流体的方向依次设置有A层活性层和B层活性层,所述A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1的范围值为(x-2)%-(x-0.5)%。
至少两活性层从靠近集流体到远离集流体的方向依次设置有A层活性层和B层活性层,指的是从靠近集流体侧到远离集流体侧的方向依次设置A层活性层和B层活性层,也即,A层活性层是最靠近集流体的含有自牺牲锂盐的活性层。
基于最靠近集流体的活性层中的自牺牲锂盐不容易发挥容量,因此,A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1相比其他活性层更低。A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1范围为(x-2)%-(x-0.5)%,例如,可以是(x-2)%、(x-1.5)%、(x-1)%、(x-0.5)%等,具体不作限定,其中,x的范围为如前文的2-10,例如,x可取2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10等,具体不作限定。

可选地,定义每一活性层的孔隙率为n,每一活性层的孔隙率=(每一活性层中的孔隙体积÷每一活性层的体积)*100%,所述第二活性层的孔隙率为n(i+1),其中,i≥1,所述第一活性层的孔隙率为ni,则n(i+1)-n(i)=b,其中,2%≤b≤8%。

本领域中所提到的电池按是否可充电可以分为一次性电池和可充电电池。目前常见的可充电电池
的类型有:铅酸电池、镍氢电池和锂离子电池。锂离子电池目前广泛应用于纯电动车及混合动力车,用于这种用途的锂离子电池的容量相对略低,但有较大的输出、充电电流,也有较长的使用寿命,但成本较高。
本申请实施例中所描述的电池是指可充电电池。下文中将主要以锂离子电池为例来描述本申请公开的实施例。应当理解的是,本申请公开的实施例对于其他任意适当类型的可充电电池都是适用的。本申请中公开的实施例所提到的电池可以直接或者间接应用于适当的装置中来为该装置供电。
本申请公开的实施例中所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供预定的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。电池单体是电池中的基本单元,一般按封装的方式可以分为:柱形电池单体、长方体电池单体和软包电池单体。下文中将主要围绕长方体电池单体来展开。应当理解的是,下文中所描述的实施例在某些方面对于柱形电池单体或软包电池单体而言也是适用的。
电池单体包括正极极片、负极极片、电解液和隔离膜。锂离子电池单体主要依靠锂离子在正极极片和负极极片之间的移动来工作。柱形电池单体中三层材料的薄膜结构被卷绕成柱形形状的电极组件,而在长方体电池单体中薄膜结构被卷绕或者叠置成具有大致长方体形状的电极组件。
在通常的电池单体结构中,电池单体包括外壳、电极组件和电解液。电极组件被容纳在电池单体的外壳中,电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜。外壳包括外壳和端盖。外壳包括由多个壁形成的容纳腔以及开口。端盖布置在开口处以封闭容纳腔。除了电极组件之外,容纳腔中还容纳有电解液。电极组件中的正极极片和负极极片包括极耳。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。极耳通过连接构件与位于电池单体外部的电极端子电连接,电极端子一般包括正电极端子和负电极端子。对长方体电池单体而言,电极端子一般设置在端盖部分。多个电池单体经由电极端子而被串联和/或并联在一起以应用于各种应用场合。
在一些诸如电动车辆等的大功率应用场合,电池的应用包括三个层次:电池单体、电池模块和电池。电池模块是为了从外部冲击、热、振动等中保护电池单体,将一定数目的电池单体电连接在一起并放入一个框架中而形成的。电池则指的是装入电动车辆的电池系统的最终状态。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体一般由盖体和箱壳组成。
箱体的边框上或箱壳中部设置有多个用于与车辆主体连接的挂载点,为提高车辆主体与电池连接的稳定性,多在挂载点设置挂载部。
在一些电池生产加工技术中,首先将多个电池单体先整合为电池模块,然后将电池模块封装于电池的箱体中,形成电池包/电池箱。
常用的电池模块一般包括两块端板,两块端板之间排布有多个电池单体。设置有电池模块输出极的端板又称输出极端板,未设置电池模块输出极的端板又称非输出极端板。
电池包内可封装一排多个电池模块,也可封装多排多个电池模块,多排多个电池模块的排列方式可以是双排多列、多排双列、多排多列等。以封装双排多列电池模块的电池包为例,每一列第一个端板一般为头部输出极端板,两排电池模块间相邻的两块端板为中部非输出极端板,每一列最后一个端板为尾部非输出极端板,头部输出极端板和其中一个中部非输出极端板属于第一排电池模块,其中一个中部非输出极端板和尾部输出极端板属于第二排电池模块。
电池模块封装入电池的箱体需要依托工装才可实现,工装上一般设置有夹持电池模块的夹持机构,如夹爪、吸盘等。当采用设置夹爪的工装封装电池模块时,一般会在端板背离电池单体一侧设置与夹爪适配的夹爪槽,以供夹爪插入实现对电池模块的夹持与转运。
电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素,例如,能量密度、循环寿命、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数,另外,还需要考虑电池的生产成本以及加工工艺,以提高电池的质量以及生产效率。
补锂材料在释放Li+的过程中,需要有一定的空间和介质将Li+从活性层中传递出去,理论上补锂材料越靠近电解液,越有利于释放出Li+,补充Li+的损耗,同理,靠近集流体的补锂材料距离电解液更远,电解液浸润不良,离子导通差,不利于Li+释放,由此导致补锂材料的容量难以发挥。
为此,本申请提供一种补锂极片,补锂极片包括集流体和设置在集流体至少一侧面的涂布区域,涂布区域包括至少两层活性层,至少两层活性层中包括造孔剂,定义包括造孔剂的相邻的两活性层分别为第一活性层和第二活性层,第一活性层设于集流体,第二活性层设于第一活性层背离集流体的一侧,第二活性层中的孔隙率大于第一活性层中的孔隙率。
集流体,是指汇集电流的结构或零件,在锂离子电池上主要指的是金属箔,如铜箔、铝箔。集流体作为基材用于附着正极或负极活性物质,起到将活性材料产生的电流汇集,对外进行大电流输出的作用。一般铝箔作为正极集流体,铜箔作为负极集流体。
活性层,是指包括有活性材料的层状结构,其中的活性材料是指正极涉及的正极活性物质,正极活性物质可以使用能可逆地嵌入与脱嵌Li+的化合物。
造孔剂,使材料中产生孔洞结构的添加剂。
包括造孔剂的相邻的两活性层分别为第一活性层和第二活性层,指的是含有造孔剂的相邻的两活性层,分别为第一活性层和第二活性层,可以理解的是第一活性层和第二活性层可以是相接触的两活性层,第一活性层和第二活性层之间还可以设置不含有造孔剂的第三活性层,也即,不含造孔剂的活性层将两含造孔剂的活性层分隔开。
第一活性层设于集流体,第二活性层设于第一活性层背离集流体的一侧,指的是第一活性层相比第二活性层更靠近集流体,可以理解的是,第一活性层直接设置在集流体上,还可以理解的是,第一活性层和集流体之间设置不含补锂剂的活性层。
为了方便电解液对靠近集流体侧的活性层的浸润,使靠近电解液侧的第二活性层的孔隙率高于靠近集流体侧的第一活性层的孔隙率,方便电解液从第二活性层浸润至第一活性层,提高分布在第一活性层中的补锂剂的容量发挥,也即,方便靠近集流体侧的补锂材料的Li+释放出去。
进一步地,第二活性层中的造孔剂形成的孔隙率大于第一活性层中的造孔剂形成的孔隙率。
本申请通过造孔剂在不同活性层中形成不同的孔隙率,且靠近电解液侧的第二活性层的大的孔隙率有利于提高第二活性层的电解液浸润性,提高第一活性层接触电解液的效率,进一步提高第一活性层中补锂剂的容量发挥,以改善电池寿命。
如图2所示,为本申请补锂极片一实施例的结构示意图,集流体10上设置有两侧活性层,A层活性层和B层活性层,A层活性层更靠近集流体,A层活性层和B层活性层中均设有造孔剂,且,B层活性层中的造孔剂形成的孔隙率大于A层活性层中的造孔剂形成的孔隙率,如此,提高A层活性层浸润电解液的能力,利于A层活性层中的补锂材料的Li+释放出去,使补锂剂有效发挥容量,提高电池寿命。
进一步地,造孔剂包括自牺牲锂盐。
自牺牲锂盐,也即补锂材料,指的是能提供锂离子的造孔剂,也即,在自牺牲锂盐发挥容量后,留下空隙。可以理解的是,补锂材料发挥容量后,材料密度发生显著降低(例如,Li2S变为S),或直接被完全反应(草酸锂生成CO2),不像正极活性物质循环过程中重复膨胀与收缩,可在极片中留下永久空隙。
本申请中采用自牺牲锂盐作为造孔剂,有利于提高极片的能量密度,避免其他不发挥容量的造孔剂占用极片空间,造成极片能量密度降低。
进一步地,第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的反应前后的体积变化值大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的反应前后的体积变化值。
自牺牲锂盐在发挥容量后或发生反应后产生空隙,为了使第二活性层的孔隙率大于第一活性层的孔隙率,则第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的反应前后的体积变化值大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的反应前后的体积变化值。可以理解的是,在第一活性层和第二活性层采用同种自牺牲锂盐的情况下,第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度;还可以理解的是,在第一活性层和第二活性层采用不同种自牺牲锂盐的情况下,自牺牲锂盐反应前后的体积变化值越大,留下的孔越大,越适合第二活性层,例如,草酸Li2C2O4、Li2O、Li2O2会直接反应完,体积变化值最大,适合第二活性层,相比之下,Li2S可以应用于第一活性层,以实现两活性层具有孔隙率差。
进一步地,第二活性层中的至少一种自牺牲锂盐与第一活性层中的至少一种自牺牲锂盐种类不同时,第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于等于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度。
考虑到活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的种类可能是多种,当第二活性层中的至少一种自牺牲锂盐与第一活性层中的至少一种自牺牲锂盐种类不同时,第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于等于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度。例如,当两种不同的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值相同时,则第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度在大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度时,可以形成两活性层具有孔隙率差。当两种不同的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值不同时,且第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值,则第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度可以在等于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度时,可以形成两活性层具有孔隙率差。
进一步地,第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐与第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐种类相同时,第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度。
在第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐与第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐种类相同时,两层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐反应后产生的体积变化值相同,此时需要第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度大于第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的浓度,如此可以形成两活性层具有孔隙率差。
进一步地,至少两层活性层中,定义自牺牲锂盐的总浓度为x%,自牺牲锂盐的总浓度=(各活性层中的所有自牺牲锂盐的质量÷各活性层中的所有活性物质与所有自牺牲锂盐的质量之和)*100%,自牺牲锂盐的总浓度x%的范围值为2%-10%。
各活性层中的所有自牺牲锂盐的质量,指的是补锂极片中各活性层的自牺牲锂盐的质量加和。例如,补锂极片具有两层活性层,A层活性层(活性物质98g,自牺牲锂盐2g)和B层活性层(活性物质96g,自牺牲锂盐4g),则各活性层中的所有自牺牲锂盐的质量为2g+4g=6g。
各活性层中的所有活性物质与所有自牺牲锂盐的质量之和,指的是补锂极片中各活性层的活性物质与自牺牲锂盐的质量加和。如上所说的A层活性层(活性物质98g,自牺牲锂盐2g)和B层活性层(活性物质96g,自牺牲锂盐4g),则各活性层中的所有活性物质与所有自牺牲锂盐的质量之和为98+2g+96+4g=200g。
自牺牲锂盐的总浓度,指的是补锂极片中自牺牲锂盐的总浓度,如上所说的A层活性层(活性物质98g,自牺牲锂盐2g)和B层活性层(活性物质96g,自牺牲锂盐4g),则自牺牲锂盐的总浓度为(6g/200g)*100%=3%。
自牺牲锂盐的总浓度x%的范围值为2%-10%,例如,可以是2%、3%、4%、5%、6%、7%、8%、9%、10%等,具体不作限定。
进一步地,定义自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度为yi,自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度=(每一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的质量÷每一活性层中的活性物质与自牺牲锂盐的质量之和)*100%,第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y(i+1),其中,i≥1,第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y(i),则y(i+1)-y(i)=a,其中,1%≤a≤4%。
自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度,指的是补锂极片每一活性层中自牺牲锂盐的浓度,例如,补锂极片具有两层活性层,A层活性层(活性物质98g,自牺牲锂盐2g)和B层活性层(活性物质96g,自牺牲锂盐4g),则A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1为(2g/100g)*100%=2%;则B层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y2为(4g/100g)*100%=4%。
第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y(i+1)与第一活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y(i)的差值为1%-4%,其中,i≥1。说明相邻两层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐浓度不同,以形成不同的孔隙率。相邻两层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐浓度差值为2%-4%,例如,可以是1%、2%、2.5%、3%、3.5%、4%等,具体不作限定。
同时,靠近电解液侧的第二活性层的自牺牲锂盐浓度大于靠近集流体侧的第一活性层的自牺牲锂盐浓度,方便第二活性层中的自牺牲锂盐发挥容量,因为,第二活性层靠近电解液,电解液浸润好,离子导通好,高浓度的自牺牲锂盐能有效发挥容量。且,在自牺牲锂盐发挥容量后,自牺牲锂盐在活性层中留下孔隙,也就是靠近电解液侧的第二活性层孔隙率高,靠近集流体侧的第一活性层的孔隙率低,电解液通过高孔隙率的第二活性层能有效浸润低孔隙率的第一活性层,提高倍率性能。
可以理解的是,归因于第二活性层补锂材料浓度高,第一活性层补锂材料浓度低,通过这种结构设置,使得不仅能使第二活性层中的补锂材料发挥容量,还能改变活性层孔隙率的分布,提高第一活性层的浸润效果,从而有助于提高第一活性层中补锂材料的容量发挥,以及提高倍率性能。
进一步地,定义至少两活性层从靠近集流体到远离集流体的方向依次设置有A层活性层和B层活性层,A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1的范围值为(x-2)%-(x-0.5)%。
至少两活性层从靠近集流体到远离集流体的方向依次设置有A层活性层和B层活性层,指的是从靠近集流体侧到远离集流体侧的方向依次设置A层活性层和B层活性层,也即,A层活性层是最靠近集流体的含有自牺牲锂盐的活性层。
基于最靠近集流体的活性层中的自牺牲锂盐不容易发挥容量,因此,A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1相比其他活性层更低。A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1范围为(x-2)%-(x-0.5)%,例如,可以是(x-2)%、(x-1.5)%、(x-1)%、(x-0.5)%等,具体不作限定,其中,x的范围为如前文的2-10,例如,x可取2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10等,具体不作限定。
进一步地,A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1范围为2%-5%;和/或,B层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y2范围为5%-7%;和/或,定义至少两活性层从靠近集流体的到远离集流体的方向依次设置有A层活性层、B层活性层和C层活性层,C层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y3范围为7%-10%。
如图3所示,定义至少两活性层从靠近集流体的到远离集流体的方向依次设置有A层活性层、B层活性层和C层活性层,A层活性层最靠近集流体,则A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1相比其他活性层更低,A层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y1范围为2%-5%,例如,可以是2%、3%、4%、5%等,具体不作限定。B层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y2范围为5%-7%,例如,可以是5%、6%、7%等,具体不作限定。C层活性层中的自牺牲锂盐的层中浓度y3范围为7%、8%、9%、10%等,具体不作限定。并且,各层活性层中形成浓度差。
进一步地,至少两层活性层中,定义活性层的总孔隙率为p,活性层的总孔隙率=(各活性层中的所
有孔隙体积÷各活性层的体积之和)*100%,活性层的总孔隙率p的范围值为20%-30%。
孔隙率计算公式是P=[V/V0]*100%。V0是材料在自然状态下的体积,V是材料中所有空隙的体积。
活性层的总孔隙率,指的是补锂极片各活性层中的所有孔隙体积除以补锂极片中各活性层的体积之和。活性层的总孔隙率的范围值为20%-30%,例如,可以是20%、22%、25%、27%、30%等,具体不作限定。可以理解的是孔隙率不仅与自牺牲锂盐的浓度有关,还与压实密度有关。
进一步地,定义每一活性层的孔隙率为n,每一活性层的孔隙率=(每一活性层中的孔隙体积÷每一活性层的体积)*100%,第二活性层的孔隙率为n(i+1),其中,i≥1,第一活性层的孔隙率为n(i),则n(i+1)-n(i)=b,其中,2%≤b≤8%。
每一活性层的孔隙率,指的是补锂极片每一活性层中的孔隙体积除以每一活性层的体积。第二活性层的孔隙率与第一活性层的孔隙率的差值为2%-8%,说明第二活性层的孔隙率高于第一活性层的孔隙率,有助于电解液通过第二活性层浸润至第一活性层,例如第二活性层的孔隙率与第一活性层的孔隙率的差值为2%、3%、4%、5%、6%、7%、8%等,具体不作限定。
进一步地,定义至少两活性层从靠近集流体到远离集流体的方向依次设置有A层活性层和B层活性层,A层活性层的孔隙率n1的范围值为20%-25%。
A层活性层最靠近集流体,A层活性层的孔隙率相比其他活性层的孔隙率更低,A层活性层的孔隙率为20%-25%,例如,可以是20%、21%、22%、23%、24%、25%等,具体不作限定。

表1各实施例参数列表
表2各实施例参数列表
表3各实施例参数列表
性能测试
1.倍率性能测试
在25℃下,以x C放电至放电截止电压容量为Cx,可以以C0.33为base,比较C2/C0.33大小,衡量倍率改善程度。
2.电解液浸润效果评估测试
将电池(D0)充电到一定电压,使得补锂材料发挥容量,同时在极片中留下永久空隙,再将电池放电到初始状态(D1),将D0及D1两种状态电池拆解后,把极片中的电解液蒸干,换全新隔离膜,再次组装分别为电池E0、E1,测试E0、E1的电解液浸润速率V0、V1,本次实验取电池状态为3.0V。
电解液浸润速率测试方法;电芯顶部有注液孔,孔上连一个注液杯,杯内放有足量电解液(本实验为100g),一定时间T后拿走注液杯(本次实验T=1h),称量注液杯内电解液减少量▲m,浸润速率v=▲m/T。
3.循环改善性能测试
(1)在45℃下,将锂离子电池分别以1/3C恒流充电至3.65V,再3.65V恒压充电至电流为0.05C,静置5min,再以1/3C放电至2.5V记录放电容量C0。
(2)再将锂离子电池以1.0C恒流充电至3.65V,静置5min,再以1/3C放电至2.5V记录放电容量C1。
重复上述步骤(2)200次,记录循环第200次后锂离子电池的放电容量C200,容量保持率P200=C200/C0×100%
4.补锂材料容量发挥改善测试
在25℃下,比较电芯首次充电到上限电压(如下为4.5V)时的容量C@4.5V(控制不同实施例电芯中正极活性物质、正极补锂材料质量一致,如不是,则需计算克容量),同时补锂材料容量发挥多,循环改善也会好。
表4各实施例和对比例的性能参数表
表1-3是各实施例和对比例的参数,表4是各实施例和对比例的性能参数表,从表4中可以看出,
实施例1、实施例4、实施例5、实施例6和实施例7是两层活性层结构,可以看出,随着自牺牲锂盐的总浓度X%降低,容量保持率和补锂材料容量发挥性能降低,因此,在保持各层中自牺牲锂盐具有浓度梯度的情况下,仍需保持自牺牲锂盐的总浓度在一定范围内。可以理解的是,补锂剂太少导致循环改善幅度小,因此,自牺牲锂盐的总浓度x%不低于2%;同时,补锂剂太多,且补锂剂一般电导较差,虽然带来更多的孔,有利于电解液浸润,但极片的电子电导反而变差,极片的倍率性能变差,导致容量发挥也会受到限制,导致循环不改善甚至恶化,因此,牺牲锂盐的总浓度x%不超过10%。
对比例3为包括一层活性层的补锂极片,对比例3与实施例5相比,在相同的自牺牲锂盐的总浓度情况下,分层分布的补锂极片的性能要优于单层的补锂极片,例如,实施例5的容量保持率和补锂材料容量发挥性能高于对比例3。
实施例2和实施例3为包括三层活性层的补锂极片,实施例3和实施例5相比,层数越多,电解液浸润速率得到提高,倍率性能得到提升。
