本申请提供一种正极极片、二次电池和电子设备,能够改善二次电池的高温性能和热安全性能。
第一方面,本申请提供了一种正极极片,正极极片包括正极集流体和设置于正极集流体至少一个表面上的正极材料层,正极材料层中含有Co和Al,基于正极材料层的原子总数,Al的原子数百分比和Co的原子数百分比的比值为T,0.008≤T≤0.032,基于正极活性材料的原子总数,Al的原子数百分比和Co的原子数百分比的比值为T′,0.005≤T′≤0.03,优选地,0.008≤T≤0.025,0.012≤T′≤0.02。原子数是指原子数量,根据X射线光电子能谱(XPS)测量。发明人通过调整正极材料层中Co和Al的原子数百分比的比值在上述范围,同时,协同调控正极活性材料中Co和Al的原子数百分比的比值也合适,如此,能够实现改善锂离子电池的高温循环性能,还可以抑制锂离子电池在高温下界面气体的生成量。
发明人推测,正极材料层中Co和Al的原子数百分比的比值在上述范围,同时正极活性材料中Co和Al的原子数百分比的比值也在上述范围内时,正极活性材料可以获得具有合适比例的含铝包覆层,该包覆层可以在高温高压下对于对应比例的正极活性材料起到稳定内部结构的作用,从而抑制正极活性材料上的过渡金属迁移到电解液中,进而改善组装电池在45℃下循环500圈的充放电性能,减少界面副反应的产生,降低界面的气体生成,甚至可以在温度更高(65℃)条件下,抑制界面气体的生成量。
在一些实施方式中,正极材料层中还含有C和O,正极材料层中Co的原子数与Co、C、O、Al的原子数之和的比值为t,17.5≤t≤25。本申请调控正极材料层中Co的原子数占比(基于Co、C、O、Al四种原子数之和的占比)在上述范围内,利于稳定正极活性材料的结构,进一步改善锂离子电池在45℃下循环500圈的充放电性能,能够更好地抑制其在高温下界面气体的生成量。
在一些实施方式中,正极材料层中Al的原子数与Co、C、O、Al的原子总数之和的比值为t′,0.31≤t′≤0.35。本申请进一步调控正极材料层中Al的原子数占比(基于Co、C、O、Al四种原子数之和的占比)在上述范围内,更利于改善锂离子电池在45℃下循环500圈的充放电性能,进一步抑制高温下界面气体的生成量。
