Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a formation method of a pre-lithiation battery, a lithium ion battery and a preparation method of the lithium ion battery.
Background
With the wide use of lithium ion batteries, electrochemical energy storage puts higher requirements on the cost, energy density, cycle life and safety of the lithium ion batteries. In the production flow of the lithium ion battery, after the preparation of the battery core is finished, continuous processes of liquid injection, formation and aging are required, the liquid injection, formation and aging processes are long-time and high-cost processes, and the processes have important influence on the performance and service life of the lithium ion battery. One important factor is the electrode wetting process, and sufficient and uniform cell wetting is particularly important in the formation/aging process. After the electrolyte fully infiltrates the electrode, an SEI film at the interface of the electrode/the electrolyte is formed in a formation stage and is further subjected to chemical rearrangement adjustment in an aging stage. In the process, a plurality of technical parameters such as temperature, external mechanical pressure, charge and discharge current, charge and discharge voltage, charge state, electrolyte composition and property, battery chemical characteristics and the like influence the formation effect of the battery, so that the difference between the formation time and the performance of the battery is caused, and the production cost of the battery is directly determined.
The formation is to charge the battery cell for the first time after the battery is injected with liquid, activate active substances in the battery and activate the lithium ion battery. In the formation process, along with the intercalation of lithium ions in a negative electrode, the components of an electrolyte solution generate a reduction reaction at the negative electrode to form a stable solid electrolyte interface film (SEI film) so as to prevent the irreversible consumption of the electrolyte solution and the lithium ions in the subsequent circulation process, so that the significance of the technology on the battery performance is remarkable, and the formation effect directly influences the subsequent performance of the lithium ion battery, including storage performance, cycle life, rate capability, safety and the like. A plurality of charge-discharge cycles are required for a complete formation process, and research shows that 10-20% of the initial capacity of the lithium ion battery is used as irreversible capacity loss to form an SEI film in the first charge-discharge cycle, and a small amount of SEI film is continuously formed in the subsequent cycles. Since lithium ions from the positive electrode are consumed in the formation process and cannot become active lithium capable of providing effective capacity for the battery cell, various lithium supplement technologies have been paid attention. The existing lithium supplementing method using metal lithium does not consider that the metal lithium is accurately used for supplementing lithium ions, the metal lithium is directly attached to a negative electrode plate and is waited to be oxidized into lithium ions, so that a lot of dead lithium can be caused, the effect is equivalent to that of lithium dendrites, and even potential safety hazards can be caused. Particularly, as the requirement of people on the energy density of the battery is higher and higher, the high-nickel ternary cathode material and the silicon cathode are used on a large scale, the gas generation in the lithium ion battery is further aggravated, and the SEI film generation condition in the formation process is very important.
The conventional formation process is to perform charge and discharge after the battery subjected to liquid injection and pre-sealing is kept stand for a period of time to form an SEI film, and then the battery is kept stand for a period of time to realize the stabilization of the SEI film. Different forms of SEI films formed by different formation processes have different forms. In order to obtain an SEI film with good uniformity and stability, the traditional formation process adopts a low-current formation process, which is beneficial to the formation of the stable SEI film, but the resistance of the formed SEI film is increased by the process, so that the cycle and rate performance of a battery are poor; the other mode is a high-temperature large-current formation mode, but the electrolyte solvent or additive is unstable at high temperature, and the film formation of the electrolyte on the negative electrode is also influenced, so that the electrochemical performance of the lithium ion battery is reduced.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a method for forming a pre-lithiated battery with simple operation and good SEI interface to improve the cycle performance of a lithium ion battery.

Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
One embodiment of the invention provides a formation method of a pre-lithiation battery, and the pre-lithiation battery is provided with a negative electrode pre-lithiation layer.
The lithium ion battery is provided with the negative electrode pre-lithiation layer, and in the negative electrode, lithium in the lithium metal layer is diffused and moved to the negative electrode active material layer below the lithium metal layer in a lithium ion form through pre-lithiation and is combined with the negative electrode active material, so that lithium ions consumed by forming an SEI film can be compensated, the loss of active lithium from the positive electrode is reduced, and the realization of the purposes of all steps of the method is facilitated.

For example: the lithium metal layer may be formed by adding and dispersing lithium metal powder and a binder in an organic solvent, and then uniformly applying the solution onto the formed anode active material layer, or by placing a lithium metal foil on the anode active material layer and pressing.
In some embodiments, the negative pre-lithiation layer has a thickness of 1 to 5 μm; further, the thickness of the negative electrode pre-lithiation layer is 1.5 μm, 2.0 μm, 2.5 μm, 3.0 μm, 3.5 μm, 4.0 μm, or 4.5 μm.
The technicians of the invention find in the research that: in the prior art, a pressure is applied to the battery during the charging and discharging processes, and the gas generated during the charging and discharging processes of the battery core is discharged, so as to form a uniform SEI film. However, the wettability of the electrolyte before charging and discharging and the standing of the battery after charging and discharging have a great influence on the compactness and stability of the SEI film. With the increase of the energy density of the battery, the coating amount of the positive and negative active materials is increased, and even if the standing time before and during charge and discharge is prolonged, the wettability of the electrolyte and the stability and compactness of an SEI film cannot be ensured.
Based on this, the present inventors designed a method for forming a prelithiation battery according to the present invention:

2) the whole operation steps of each formation are optimized, and a method of vacuum fractional liquid injection, pre-sealing and low-temperature pressurization standing is adopted firstly to reduce the side reaction of the negative electrode pre-lithiation layer and the electrolyte, reduce instant heat release, accelerate the permeation of the electrolyte to an electrode, fully infiltrate a battery cell, slowly release lithium ions from the lithium supplement layer and perform a preliminary pre-lithium intercalation reaction with a negative electrode material. And then, pre-lithium intercalation formation is carried out, and the low-current charging is adopted to the SEI film forming voltage stage, so that active lithium of the pre-lithium layer is further consumed, the side reaction of the negative electrode, the pre-lithium layer and the electrolyte interface is fully carried out, a stable and compact SEI film is formed, the battery cell is activated, and the subsequent gas production risk is reduced. Then, on the basis of improving the pressure of the clamp, the segmented current charging is adopted, so that the inside of the battery cell has better electrode contact, the lithium deposition is reduced, the generation and the distribution of gas are reduced, the battery cell bulging is avoided, the formation interface is improved, and an SEI film formed after the formation has the best ionic conductivity and stability, so that the purposes of improving the first efficiency, the multiplying power and the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery are achieved.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the formation method of the prelithiation battery of the present invention includes the following steps:
s110: liquid injection: and vacuumizing the pre-lithiation battery assembled with the pre-lithium core, and injecting electrolyte in multiple times.
By adopting the method of injecting the electrolyte into the pre-lithiation battery in vacuum in a fractional manner, the side reaction between the negative electrode pre-lithiation layer of the pre-lithiation battery and the electrolyte can be reduced, active lithium in the lithium supplement layer is consumed, instant heat release is reduced, the permeation of the electrolyte to an electrode is accelerated, and the performance of the battery is improved.
In some embodiments, in the step S110, the liquid injection coefficient is 2-4, the liquid injection is performed for 2-5 times, the vacuum degree is-40 kPa-60 kPa, and the battery is kept still for 5-30 min after each liquid injection; further, the liquid injection coefficient is 2.3-3.5, liquid injection is carried out for 2-3 times, and the battery stands for 5-15min after each liquid injection.

By adding the step of pre-lithium intercalation formation, a pressure is applied to the battery in the charging and discharging process, so that the pre-lithium layer gradually reacts with the electrolyte at a small current to release active lithium, and the active lithium is diffused in a lithium ion form and combined with a negative electrode active material to pre-embed lithium to form an initial SEI film, thereby effectively improving the stability of the SEI film and improving the performance of the battery.
In some embodiments, in step S130, the clamp pressure is in the range of 3 to 5Kgf/cm2。
In some embodiments, the temperature in step S130 is 15 ℃ to 35 ℃; further, the temperature is 20-30 ℃; further, the temperature is 20 ℃, 22 ℃, 24 ℃, 25 ℃, 26 ℃, 27 ℃, 28 ℃ and 30 ℃.

S140: negative pressure segmented current formation: under the environment of 15-35 deg.C, the step-by-step current formation method is adopted to charge to 100% SOC.
The charging is carried out by adopting the sectional current with the current from small to large, the charging is carried out by adopting the smaller current, the lithium supplement material which is not completely consumed in the pre-lithium embedding stage in the process further reacts with the electrolyte, the SEI film is formed on the surface of the active material of the negative electrode, the stability of the SEI film is further improved, and after the charging of the small current is finished, the current is increased for charging, the charging speed is improved, and the processing efficiency is improved.

In some embodiments, the clamp pressure is increased to 5 to 40Kgf/cm2(ii) a Further, the pressure is increased to 8 to 20Kgf/cm2.
