TABLE 4
As can be seen from table 4, the electrochemical performances of the experimental group 5 and the control groups 5 to 6 were significantly lower than that of the experimental group 1. In experiment group 5 (example 4), the surface of the NCM811 positive electrode was not coated with LiNbO 3 The protective layer increases the interface impedance of the positive electrode of the battery, and the specific reason is that the composite ionic liquid can play a role in increasing a lithium conducting channel in a part of pores between the positive electrode and the electrolyte, but if a coating layer is not formed on the surface of the NCM811 material in advance, a large-area direct contact layer can be formed, so that the direct side reaction between the positive electrode and the electrolyte is increased, and the cycle performance of the battery is damaged. In the control group 5 (comparative example 1), since no lithium ion ionization agent is added and lithium ions are lost, the composite ionic liquid layer is a non-ionic conductive agent and cannot conduct lithium ions, impurities are formed to hinder the transmission of lithium ions, and thus the performance is poor. The control 6 (comparative example 2) did not allow efficient lithium ion transport due to the absence of the ionic liquid, and the transport rate was slow, which similarly decreased the cycle performance of the full cell.
