  • Publication number: 20230335712
    Abstract: A negative electrode plate having a negative electrode material layer. The negative electrode material layer of the negative electrode plate includes a silicon-based particle and a graphite particle. In a silicon-based particle of a diameter larger than 3 ?m, a Si content in a superficial region is lower than a Si content in an inner region. In this way, a surface stress of the negative electrode plate is reduced, thereby improving stability of an interface between a silicon-based particle and an electrolytic solution, and in turn, effectively improving the cycle performance of the electrochemical device and alleviating the problem of expansion and deformation.

  • Publication number: 20230034617
    Abstract: A negative electrode material includes silicon-based particles and graphite particles. In a case that a Dn50/Dv50 ratio of the graphite particles is A and a Dn50/Dv50 ratio of the silicon-based particles is B, the following conditional expressions (1) to (3) are satisfied: 0.1?A?0.65 (1); 0.3?B?0.85 (2); and B>A (3), where, Dv50 is a particle diameter of particles measured when a cumulative volume fraction in a volume-based distribution reaches 50%, and Dn50 is a particle diameter of particles measured when a cumulative number fraction in a number-based distribution reaches 50%. The present invention further provides a negative electrode plate, a lithium-ion secondary battery or electrochemical device containing the negative electrode plate, and an electronic device containing the lithium-ion secondary battery and/or electrochemical device.

  • Publication number: 20230034212
    Abstract: A negative electrode material includes a silicon-based material, where for a test cell including an electrode containing the negative electrode material and a counter electrode made of lithium metal, first-cycle efficiency of the test cell is 81% to 86%, and a discharge capacity at an electric potential of the electrode in the test cell being 0.17V accounts for 35% to 65% of a first-cycle discharge capacity of the test cell. A lithiation platform of particles of a silicon-based material is so defined that a lithiation capacity when an electric potential of the silicon-based negative electrode material in a test half cell is 0.17V accounts for 35% to 65% of a first-cycle lithiation capacity of the test half cell, thereby ensuring amorphous characteristics of the silicon-based material, significantly improving cycling performance of the negative electrode material, and reducing a swelling rate of an electrode assembly during cycling.
