目前,随着二次电池的应用范围越来越广泛,对二次电池的能量密度也提出了更高的要求。现有的高比能二次电池通常采用锂金属负极,由于锂金属负极的活性太强,稳定性极差,限制了锂金属负极高比能二次电池的实际应用。因此,寻求一种采用非锂金属负极,且具有较高能量密度的二次电池,已经成为本领域技术人员重点关注的方向之一。对此,本申请提供了一种二次电池,其无需采用锂金属负极,且具有较高的能量密度。
在一些实施方式中,本申请的第一方面提供了一种二次电池,包括:
正极极片,该正极极片具有正极活性材料,正极活性材料包括LiaNixCoyMzO2,其中0.2≤a≤1.2,0.85≤x≤1,0≤y<0.15,x+y+z=1,M包括Mn和Al中的一种或多种;正极活性材料的涂布重量为19mg/cm2~45mg/cm2,正极极片的压实密度为3.2g/cm3~3.8g/cm3
负极极片,该负极极片具有负极活性材料,负极活性材料中硅基材料的质量分数为20%~100%,负极活性材料的涂布重量为5mg/cm2~13mg/cm2,负极极片的压实密度为1.1g/cm3~1.9g/cm3
电解质,二次电池中电解质的量为0.8g/Ah~1.5g/Ah,电解质包括电解液,二次电池中裸电芯外电解液的量≤0.1g/Ah。
本申请的二次电池中,正极极片和负极极片采用较高的压实密度,可以降低极片膜层孔隙中的电解液填充需求量,同时可以减少活性物质与电解液的界面接触,减少活性物质与电解液之间的副反应,降低电解液的需求总量;采用极低的电解质总量,并尽量减少电解质中对容量发挥无贡献的裸电芯外电解液的量;采用高镍三元正极材料、高硅负极活性材料和较大的涂布重量;通过上述技术手段相结合,可使二次电池具有较高的能量密度,其能量密度可以达到400Wh/kg以上。并且,该二次电池无需采用活性很高、稳定性很差的锂金属负极来提高电池能量密度,可以使二次电池具有较好的稳定性。
可以理解,二次电池中电解质的量包括电解液的量和凝胶电解质的量;其中,电解液包括裸电芯内电解液和裸电芯外电解液。将二次电池拆开,取出裸电芯,将电池壳体内剩余的电解液进行称重,即得裸电芯外电解液的量;将裸电芯拆开,取出其内的凝胶电解质和电解液进行称重;将凝胶电解质的量、裸电芯内电解液的量和裸电芯外电解液的量相加,即为二次电池中电解质的量。裸电芯外电解液是指游离在裸电芯外部的电解液,该部分电解液对于二次电池的容量发挥不起作用;因此,为了提高二次电池的能量密度,应尽量降低电解质中裸电芯外电解液所占比例。
需要说明的是,二次电池在充放电过程中会伴随Li的脱嵌及消耗,二次电池在放电到不同状态时Li的摩尔含量会发生变化;本申请中对正极活性材料LiaNixCoyMzO2中a的取值范围限定包括了二次电池不同充放电状态下Li的摩尔含量(通常电池电压在2V~5V之间)。
可以理解,正极极片中正极活性材料的涂布重量可以为但不限于19mg/cm2、20mg/cm2、22mg/cm2、24mg/cm2、26mg/cm2、28mg/cm2、30mg/cm2、32mg/cm2、34mg/cm2、36mg/cm2、38mg/cm2、40mg/cm2、42mg/cm2、44mg/cm2、45mg/cm2;正极极片的压实密度可以为但不限于3.2g/cm3、3.3g/cm3、3.4g/cm3、3.5g/cm3、3.6g/cm3、3.7g/cm3、3.8g/cm3;负极活性材料中硅基材料的质量分数可以为但不限于20%、30%、40%、50%、60%、70%、80%、90%、100%;负极活性材料的涂布重量可以为但不限于5mg/cm2、6mg/cm2、7mg/cm2、8mg/cm2、9mg/cm2、10mg/cm2、11mg/cm2、12mg/cm2、 13mg/cm2;负极极片的压实密度可以为但不限于1.1g/cm3、1.2g/cm3、1.3g/cm3、1.4g/cm3、1.5g/cm3、1.6g/cm3、1.7g/cm3、1.8g/cm3、1.9g/cm3;二次电池中电解质的量可以为但不限于0.8g/Ah、0.9g/Ah、1.0g/Ah、1.1g/Ah、1.2g/Ah、1.3g/Ah、1.4g/Ah、1.5g/Ah;电解质中裸电芯外电解液的量可以为但不限于0g/Ah、0.01g/Ah、0.02g/Ah、0.03g/Ah、0.04g/Ah、0.05g/Ah、0.06g/Ah、0.07g/Ah、0.08g/Ah、0.09g/Ah、0.1g/Ah。
在其中一些实施方式中,正极活性材料的涂布重量为25mg/cm2~35mg/cm2。正极极片中正极活性材料的涂布重量过低,会使活性物质的占比减少,电池中基材、壳体、辅料等重量占比相对增大,使电池的重量能量密度降低;涂布重量过大又会使正极膜层过厚,难以达到设定的压实密度。将正极活性材料的涂布重量控制在25mg/cm2~35mg/cm2范围之内,可以进一步提高二次电池的能量密度。
在其中一些实施方式中,正极极片的压实密度为3.5g/cm3~3.7g/cm3。如此,可以进一步降低正极膜层中电解液的需求总量,进一步提高二次电池的能量密度。
在其中一些实施方式中,负极极片中负极活性材料的涂布重量为7mg/cm2~10.5mg/cm2。可以进一步提高二次电池的能量密度。
在其中一些实施方式中,负极极片的压实密度为1.6g/cm3~1.8g/cm3。如此,可以进一步降低负极膜层中电解液的需求总量,进一步提高二次电池的能量密度。
在其中一些实施方式中,二次电池中电解质的量为0.9g/Ah~1.4g/Ah。如此,在满足充放电过程中正极极片和负极极片膜层孔隙中所需的电解质的需求量的同时,进一步减少电解质的总用量,从而进一步提高二次电池的能量密度。
在其中一些实施方式中,负极活性材料中硅基材料的质量分数为40%~100%。如此,负极活性材料中采用更高比例的硅基材料,可以进一步提高二次电池的能量密度。
在其中一些实施方式中,二次电池还包括隔离膜,该隔离膜设置在正极极片和负极极片之间,且隔离膜与正极极片之间的间距为0μm~20μm。 通过将隔离膜与正极极片之间的间距控制在20μm以内,可以使正极极片与隔离膜之间填充足够多的电解质,更好地满足正极膜层的保液填充需求,并可使电解液主要集中在裸电芯的内部,减少裸电芯外电解液的量,从而有利于提高二次电池的能量密度。
在其中一些实施方式中,隔离膜与负极极片之间的间距为0μm~20μm。如此,可使负极极片与隔离膜之间填充足够多的电解质,更好地满足负极膜层的保液填充需求,并可使电解液进一步集中在裸电芯的内部,进一步减少裸电芯外电解液的量,从而进一步提高二次电池的能量密度。
在其中一些实施方式中,可以通过调节正极极片、隔离膜和负极极片层叠卷绕形成电极组件时的卷绕张力的大小,来控制隔离膜与正极极片之间的间距,以及隔离膜与负极极片之间的间距。
具体来说,当需要减小极片与隔离膜之间的间距时,可以适当地增大极片卷绕时的张力;当需要增大极片与隔离膜之间的间距时,可以适当地减小极片卷绕时的张力。当卷绕张力较小时,卷绕后极片与隔离膜之间的间距会相对较大,可以容纳较多的电解质;但若卷绕张力过小,极片与隔离膜之间的间距会过大,影响电池的动力学并增加析锂的风险。因此,需要控制卷绕张力的大小在合适范围内,以使极片与隔离膜之间的间距在设定范围之内。
在其中一些实施方式中,在隔离膜的表面还设置有第一高吸液聚合物层,该第一高吸液聚合物层中的高吸液聚合物的平衡溶胀率为150%~300%。通过在隔离膜的表面设置上述的高吸液聚合物,可以进一步提高裸电芯内隔离膜与极片之间的保液能力,使电解质进一步集中在裸电芯的内部,进一步减少裸电芯外电解液的量,从而进一步提高二次电池的能量密度。
在其中一些实施方式中,在正极极片和/或负极极片的表面设置有第二高吸液聚合物层,该第二高吸液聚合物层中的高吸液聚合物的平衡溶胀率为150%~300%。同样地,通过在正极极片和/或负极极片的表面设置上述的高吸液聚合物,同样可以进一步提高裸电芯内隔离膜与极片之间的保液能力,使电解质进一步集中在裸电芯的内部,进一步减少裸电芯外电解液的量,从而进一步提高二次电池的能量密度。
可以理解,可以只在隔离膜的一侧表面上设置上述的高吸液聚合物,可以在隔离膜相对的两侧表面上均设置上述的高吸液聚合物,可以只在正极极片或负极极片的表面上设置上述的高吸液聚合物,也可以在正极极片和负极极片的表面上均设置上述的高吸液聚合物,还可以在隔离膜的表面以及极片的表面均设置上述的高吸液聚合物。
需要说明的是,高吸液聚合物的平衡溶胀率大小可以反映高吸液聚合物的保液能力高低。高吸液聚合物的平衡溶胀率可以通过如下公式计算得到:Q=Ws/Wd,其中Q为高吸液聚合物的平衡溶胀率,Ws为高吸液聚合物溶胀平衡后的聚合物重量,Wd为高吸液聚合物的干重。
可以理解,高吸液聚合物在与电解液溶剂接触时,由于聚合物交联点之间的分子链段仍然较长,具有相当的柔性,溶剂分子容易渗入聚合物内,引起聚合物体积膨胀;但交联点之间分子链的伸展会使其构象熵降低,使分子网产生弹性收缩力,阻止溶剂分子进入分子网;当这两种相反的作用相互抵消时,体系就达到了溶胀平衡状态,聚合物的体积不再变化。
在其中一些实施方式中,高吸液聚合物的涂布重量为0.1mg/cm2~1.4mg/cm2。将高吸液聚合物的涂布重量控制在0.1mg/cm2~1.4mg/cm2之间,可以很好地满足正极极片和负极极片的保液量需求。可以理解,高吸液聚合物的涂布重量可以为但不限于0.1mg/cm2、0.2mg/cm2、0.3mg/cm2、0.4mg/cm2、0.5mg/cm2、0.6mg/cm2、0.7mg/cm2、0.8mg/cm2、0.9mg/cm2、1.0mg/cm2、1.1mg/cm2、1.2mg/cm2、1.3mg/cm2、1.4mg/cm2
在其中一些实施方式中,高吸液聚合物的涂布重量为0.1mg/cm2~1.0mg/cm2。如此,可以在满足正极极片和负极极片的保液量需求的同时,进一步减少高吸液聚合物的用量。
在其中一些实施方式中,可以将高吸液的聚合物溶解于有机溶剂如丙酮中,然后采用喷涂、浸涂、辊涂等方式将聚合物涂覆在隔离膜或极片的表面上,从而在隔离膜或极片上形成高吸液聚合物的涂层。
在其中一些实施方式中,高吸液聚合物包括聚丙烯酸酯类电解质、聚醚类电解质、聚碳酸酯类电解质、聚羧酸酯类电解质、硅基类电解质、聚硫醇类电解质、马来酸酐类电解质和聚硫酸酯类电解质中的一种或多种。
在其中一些实施方式中,电解质还包括凝胶电解质,凝胶电解质和电解液的质量比为1:(0.05~0.4)。通过采用特定含量的凝胶电解质,可以进一步增强电解液在裸电芯内部和极片膜层孔隙中的保液能力,将电解液更好地锁在裸电芯内,减少电解液因高硅极片充电膨胀作用而被挤出。同时,结合一定量的液态电解液,可以改善电极界面浸润,改善凝胶电解质的容量等电性能发挥。
可以理解,电解质中凝胶电解质和电解液的质量比可以为但不限于1:0.05、1:0.08、1:0.10、1:0.12、1:0.14、1:0.16、1:0.18、1:0.20、1:0.22、1:0.24、1:0.26、1:0.28、1:0.30、1:0.32、1:0.34、1:0.36、1:0.38、1:0.40。
在其中一些实施方式中,凝胶电解质和电解液的质量比为1:(0.05~0.25)。如此,可以进一步增强电解液在裸电芯内部和极片膜层孔隙中的保液能力,更好地将电解液锁在裸电芯内。
在其中一些实施方式中,可以在二次电池注液时在电解液中添加一定量的聚合物单体和引发剂,在加热条件下引发聚合物单体进行原位聚合,从而形成凝胶电解质。可理解,电解质中凝胶电解质的含量可以通过注液时电解液中聚合物单体和引发剂的添加量来进行调节和控制。
在其中一些实施方式中,形成凝胶电解质的单体包括甲基丙烯酸甲酯、丙烯酸甲酯、甲基丙烯酸乙酯、丙烯酸乙酯、甲基丙烯酸正丁酯、丙烯酸丁酯、甲基丙烯酸正辛酯、丙烯酸正辛酯、醋酸乙烯酯、碳酸亚乙烯酯、碳酸乙烯亚乙酯、三乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯、二乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯、乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯、甲基丙烯酸烯丙酯、二乙烯苯、聚乙烯醇和苯乙烯中的一种或多种。
在其中一些实施方式中,形成凝胶电解质的引发剂包括过硫酸盐、偶氮类引发剂和有机过氧类引发剂中的一种或多种。

以上各实施例和对比例的二次电池的参数和性能测试数据如表1、表2和表3所示。
表1


表2


表3


由表中数据可知:
从对比例1和实施例1、2可以看出,正极材料中Ni含量较高时,有利于获得更高的能量密度。
从对比例2和实施例1、3至5可以看出,涂布重量在35mg/cm2以下时,涂布重量越大,活性物质占电芯总重的比重越大,可以获得越高的重量能量密度,但涂布重量进一步增大时,厚电极的扩散阻抗恶化严重,电芯的容量发挥损失,使得重量能量密度不增反减。
从对比例3和实施例6、7可以看出,正极压密越大时,可以使相同壳体内填充更多层的活性物质,电芯的重量能量密度得以提升。但压密过大会使活性材料颗粒结构破坏,容量损失,故压密也不能过大。
从对比例4可以看出,负极中硅基材料的质量占比降低,重量能量密度下降。从对比例5和实施例8可以看出,相同的正极涂布重量下,若负极的涂布重量偏小,会出现负极析锂的问题,导致容量损失;当负极的涂布重量过大时,会有较多无效的负极活性材料,使重量能量密度降低,故负极涂布重量需在合适的范围内。
从对比例6和实施例9、10可以看出,负极压密越大时电芯的重量能量密度得以提升;但压密过大会使活性材料颗粒结构破坏,容量损失,故负极压密也不能过大,需要在合适的范围内。
从对比例7和实施例11、12可以看出,电芯的总电解质量越高,很多电解液会游离在裸电芯外部,对容量发挥没有帮助,降低重量能量密度。 总电解质量越低,重量能量密度越高,但电解质量过低会导致容量发挥损失。因此,电解质量也需控制在权要限定的范围。
从对比例8和实施例1、13可以看出,相同总电解质量下,裸电芯外游离的电解液越高,越不利于电芯容量的正常发挥,使得电芯的重量能量密度有所损失。
从实施例1、14、17至19中可以看出,在正负极表面或隔膜表面涂覆高吸液聚合物后,可以降低相同电解质量下裸电芯外部游离的电解液,从而降低容量损失,更有利于获得更高的重量能量密度。
从实施例1、15、16可以看出,适当调整正负极片和隔膜之间的间隙,也可以降低外部游离的电解液,获得更高的重量能量密度。
从对比例9和实施例1、20中可以看出,凝胶电解质结合适量的液态电解液可以改善电极浸润和容量发挥,获得更高的重量能量密度;但相同电解质总量下,液态电解液的比重越高,游离到裸电芯外无效的电解液会越多,从而不利于容量发挥。
需要说明的是,本申请不限定于上述实施方式。上述实施方式仅为示例,在本申请的技术方案范围内具有与技术思想实质相同的构成、发挥相同作用效果的实施方式均包含在本申请的技术范围内。此外,在不脱离本申请主旨的范围内,对实施方式施加本领域技术人员能够想到的各种变形、将实施方式中的一部分构成要素加以组合而构筑的其它方式也包含在本申请的范围内。
