可以理解,在正极极片包括第一正极活性物质和第二正极活性物质的情况下,该电池单体中的活性离子包括锂离子。
该电池单体中的正极极片是复合正极极片,其中设置有不同的正极活性物质,该复合正极极片包括含钴(Co)元素和M1元素的第一正极活性物质,M1元素包括锰(Mn)元素和铝(Al)元素中的一种或两种,还包括含铁(Fe)元素和Mn元素的第二正极活性物质。虽然理论上利用该复合正极极片设计可以使不同的正极活性物质优势互补,希望能够在例如材料结构稳定性、电池安全性、倍率性能、循环性能等方面的综合电性能获得提升,并可兼顾电压平台和制造成本。然而,包含Co元素和M1元素的锂氧化物与包含Fe元素和Mn元素的锂氧化物是不同的正极活性物质,会具有不同的活性及离子电导率,从而导致在充放电循环过程中的被利用程度不同,其中,包含Co元素和M1元素的锂氧化物容易被过度利用,引发第一正极活性物质的表层结构损坏而释放氧气,甚至可能导致材料结构坍塌,存在电池热失控风险;此外,释放的氧气还可能引发电解液副反应。该复合正极极片设计中的活性离子扩散推测是一维通道扩散,通过引入第一阳离子盐而引入离子半径大于锂(Li)离子的第一阳离子,该第一阳离子可以代替部分活性离子嵌入到第一正极活性物质中,阻挡第一正极活性物质中的活性离子扩散通道,降低第一正极活性物质的被利用度,可减少氧气释放,第一阳离子还可起到支撑第一正极活性物质的表层结构的作用,可阻碍活性离子在放电过程中脱除,进一步增加正极活性物质表层氧的稳定性,减少氧气的释放,第一阳离子可提高复合正极极片及电池单体的热稳定性,降低热失控风险。进一步地,通过调节第一正极活性物质中的Co元素与第二正极活性物质中的Fe元素的质量比A(也可记为ICo/IIFe比),可以调节第一正极活性物质与第二正极活性物质之间的含量比例,进一步利用A/B值协同调节电解液中第
一阳离子盐相对于电解质盐的质量百分比B,可以使第一阳离子在电解液中的浓度能够较佳地匹配第一正极活性物质对适当降低被利用度的需求,从而整体上实现较佳的综合电性能,可以显著提升复合正极极片与电池单体的热稳定性,降低热失控风险,还有利于复合正极极片整体上具有良好的活性离子传输性能。可见,该电池单体具有较佳的综合性能,热稳定性好,热失控风险低。

当第一正极活性物质与第二正极活性物质的离子电导率相差较大时,第一正极活性物质被过度利用度的几率显著变大,此时,通过调节A/B值平衡第一正极活性物质对适当降低被利用度的需求与活性离子在复合正极极片中的良好传输等方面的综合需求时,对正极极片热稳定性以及电池单体整体综合性能的提升作用更为显著。
可以通过调节第一正极活性物质中的镍(Ni)元素含量来调节第一正极活性物质(包含Co元素和M1元素的锂氧化物)的离子电导率。通常地,Ni含量越高,则第一正极活性物质的离子电导率越高。
可以通过调节锰(Mn)元素含量来调节第二正极活性物质(包含Fe元素和Mn元素的锂氧化物)的离子电导率。通常地,Mn元素含量越高,则第二正极活性物质的离子电导率越低。

为了提高电池的综合电性能,可以考虑在正极极片的正极活性材料层中设置不同的正极活性物质,比如,理论上可以设置至少两种正极活性物质以期望实现不同正极活性物质的优势互补;非限制性地,例如,将具有高能量密度的正极活性物质与具有较佳电压平台及较低制造成本的正极活性物质组合使用时,会期望相应的正极极片可以兼具较高的能量密度、较佳的电压平台和较低的制造成本。然而,性质不同的正极活性物质往往具有不同的活性及离子电导率,这就导致在充放电循环情况下,不同的正极活性物质的利用程度不同。如果不同的正极活性物质的离子电导率相差过大,就会导致其中一种正极活性物质被过度利用,容易引发该正极活性物质的表层结构损坏而释放氧气,甚至可能导致材料结构坍塌,存在电池热失控风险;此外,释放的氧气还可能引发电解液副反应。

测试与分析方法
1、电解液中第一阳离子盐的质量百分占比(B值)的测试分析:
基于GB/T36240-2018和离子色谱仪对电解液中电解质锂盐和第一阳离子盐进行定量测试,一定质量电解液样品中,电解质锂盐中锂离子的质量记为m1,第一阳离子盐中的第一阳离子的质量记为m2,则,B值可以按下述公式计算得到:B=m2/(m1+m2)×100%。
2、第一正极活性物质中Ni元素、Co元素和Mn元素的含量测试,第二正极活性物质中Mn元素和Fe元素的含量测试及A值等元素比例的测试分析。
取正极活性材料层样品约0.4g(均精确至0.0001g)于25mL烧杯中,加2mL~5mL硝酸,放置过夜,然后置于电热板上,在100℃左右加热,用调压变压器调节输入电压控温,加热至正极活性材料层消化后加入0.5mL高氯酸,在约140℃加热消解,直至白烟冒尽为止,残渣应为白色,否则应再加硝酸和高氯酸重复消解,最后用7wt%盐酸溶解提取,视待测元素含量定容至适当体积后,上ICP-OES测试仪器(511OTCP-OESVDV)上开始测试,测试元素选择Ni、Co、Mn和Fe,仪器测试结果为各元素的质量百分数,则可以根据Ni元素和Co元素的摩尔质量和质量百分数获得第一正极活性物质的化学式以及第一正极活性物质中Mn元素的含量;去除第一正极活性物质中Mn的含量后可得到第二正极活性物质中Mn的质量百分比,根据第二正极活性物质中的Mn元素和Fe元素的摩尔质量以及质量百分比可获得第二活性物质的化学式。最后即可计算出第一正极活性物质中Co元素和第二正极活性物质中Fe元素的质量比(A值)以及其他与不同元素的原子摩尔比的比值,比如,第二正极活性物质中Mn元素和Fe元素的质量比(R2Mn/Fe)。
根据测试得到的A值和B值,可计算得到A/B值的测试分析结果。
3、电池能量密度测试
测试电池容量:将待测电池搁置3min;0.33C放电到下限截止电压(如2.5V);搁置3min;0.33C恒流恒压充电到上限截止电压(如4.4V),0.05C电流截止;搁置3min;0.33C放电到截止电压(此步得到电池容量);搁置3min;计算得到电池首次放电所释放的能量值。将电池首次放电所释放算的能量值除以待测电池的质量即可得到电池的质量能量密度,单位为瓦时每千克(W·h/kg)。
4、热失控温度测试:
将待测的二次电池置于25℃恒温环境,2.5V~4.4V下,按照1C充电至4.4V,然后在4.4V下恒压充电至电流≤0.05C,静置5min,然后将二次电池在正极极耳中心、负极极耳中心、大面中心、侧面中心布置感温线用于监控电芯的温度;将布置感温线后的二次电池转移至热箱内,以5℃/min升温至60℃后保温5h,之后以5℃/min升温并每升温5℃就保温30min,升温升到120℃后以2℃/min升温并每升温2℃就保温30min直至电芯失效或者直至24h;提取对应的结束温度,作为“热失控温度”的测试结果。如果测试结束时仍未发生电芯失效,则记录“测试周期内未失效”。
电芯失效判断依据:爆炸或起火。
热失控温度越高,则二次电池的热稳定性越好,热安全性越高。

对比例3仅使用单一种类的第一正极活性物质,与实施例1-4相比,尽管对比例3的电池能量密度有所提高,但其热失控温度明显降低,综合性能劣于实施例1-4。
对比例4仅使用单一种类的第二正极活性物质,虽然热失控温度较高,但是电池能量密度非常低(220W·h/kg~230W·h/kg),明显低于实施例1-4的电池能量密度(235W·h/kg~255W·h/kg),综合性能劣于实施例1-4。
对比例5未添加第一阳离子,相对于添加了第一阳离子的各实施例(如实施例1),热失控温度明显变劣。
对比例6和对比例8的A/B值在0.47~202之外,热失控温度较低。其中,相对于使用相同负极活性物质的实施例8,对比例6热失控温度明显较低;相对于使用相同负极活性物质的实施例16,对比例8热失控温度明显较低。
