The embodiment of the invention provides a lithium ion battery, which comprises an anode, a cathode and a nonaqueous electrolyte, wherein the cathode comprises a cathode active material, the cathode active material contains a silicon-based material, and the silicon element in the silicon-based material accounts for 2-50% of the mass of the cathode active material;
The nonaqueous electrolytic solution includes a solvent, an electrolyte salt, and an additive including at least one of compounds represented by structural formula 1:
A-D-B-E-C

Wherein A, B, C are each independently selected from the group consisting of cyclic carbonate groups, cyclic sulfate groups, cyclic sulfite groups, cyclic sulfonate groups, cyclic sulfone groups, cyclic sulfoxide groups, cyclic carboxylate groups, or cyclic anhydride groups;
D. e are each independently selected from a single bond, or a group containing an alkylene group, an ether bond, a thioxy double bond, or a carbon-oxygen double bond;
The addition amount of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is 0.01-5.0% based on 100% of the total mass of the nonaqueous electrolyte.
According to the lithium ion battery provided by the invention, on the basis of a silicon-based anode material, by adding the compound shown in the structural formula 1 into a non-aqueous electrolyte, the lithium ion battery with high energy density can be prepared, meanwhile, the problems of battery cycle ballooning, impedance increase and the like can be remarkably improved, the generation of gas in the battery cycle process is reduced, the cycle capacity is obviously improved, but in other battery systems, the better improvement effect is difficult to achieve, and the inventor finds that the battery cycle performance is not improved linearly along with the increase of the content of the compound shown in the structural formula 1, the improvement of the battery performance by the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is related to the mass ratio of the silicon element to the anode active material, and the battery performance is remarkably improved when the mass ratio of the silicon element to the anode active material is 2% -50% and the addition amount of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is 0.01% -5.0%.
Regarding the mutual relation between the compound shown in the structural formula 1 and silicon element in the anode active material, when the silicon content is 2% -50%, the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is applied to a silicon-based anode battery, in the battery formation process, the additive is subjected to reduction decomposition on the surface of the silicon-based anode to form an interfacial film, organic components in the interfacial film are complexed with the silicon element in a certain proportion, so that the volume effect of the silicon-containing anode in the charge-discharge process is effectively inhibited, the cyclic flatulence is improved, and the cyclic capacity is kept to be obviously improved. When the silicon content is more than 50%, the addition of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 cannot effectively improve the circulation, presumably because the addition of a small amount of the additive cannot form a complete complex and compact interface film in the formation process due to the excessively high silicon content, the protection of the silicon-based material is insufficient, the high-temperature cycle performance of the battery is basically not improved, and the addition of a large amount of the additive can cause the local excessive thickness of the interface film at the negative electrode interface, the impedance of the battery is seriously increased, the lithium removal and the non-uniformity are caused, and the cycle performance cannot be effectively improved.

When the silicon content is more than 50%, the addition of the compound represented by the structural formula 1 cannot effectively improve the cycle, presumably because the addition of a small amount of the compound represented by the structural formula 1 cannot form a complete complex and compact interfacial film in the formation process due to the excessively high silicon content, the protection of the silicon-based material is insufficient, the high-temperature cycle performance of the battery is basically not improved, and the addition of a large amount of the compound represented by the structural formula 1 can cause the local excessive thickness of the interfacial film at the negative electrode interface, the impedance of the battery is seriously increased and the deintercalation of lithium is uneven, and the cycle performance cannot be effectively improved.

Performance testing
1. The lithium ion batteries prepared in examples 1 to 62 and comparative examples 1 to 17 were subjected to the following performance tests, namely, high-temperature cycle performance test
The prepared lithium ion battery is placed in an oven with constant temperature of 45 ℃, is charged to 4.4V (LiNi 0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2/SiO-C) with constant current of 1 ℃, is charged to 0.05C with constant current and constant voltage, is discharged to 2.75V with constant current of 1C, and is circulated in this way, the discharge capacity and the impedance of the 1 st circle and the discharge capacity and the impedance of the last circle are recorded, and the initial battery volume and the volume after 800 circles of circulation of the battery are measured.
The capacity retention, resistance increase and air expansion rate of the high temperature cycle were calculated as follows:

Impedance increase rate= (impedance of last turn-impedance of 1 st turn)/impedance of 1 st turn×100%;
Air expansion ratio= (battery volume after cycling-initial battery volume)/initial battery volume x 100%.
The test results obtained in 1.1, examples 1 to 23 and comparative examples 1 to 12 are filled in Table 1.
TABLE 1
As can be seen from the test results of table 1, when the mass percentage of silicon element in the anode active material is 2-50%, and the compound shown in structural formula 1 is used as the additive, the additive amount is 0.01-5.0%, the capacity retention rate of the battery is greatly improved compared with the battery without the compound shown in structural formula 1, and meanwhile, the impedance growth rate and the air expansion rate are remarkably reduced. It is shown that the addition of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 to the nonaqueous electrolyte can better improve the cycle performance of the battery in a larger range. As can be seen from comparative examples 1 to 4, when the mass percentage of silicon element in the negative electrode active material is 2 to 50%, the capacity of the battery without the compound shown in structural formula 1 is greatly reduced, and water jump occurs, which is a non-linear reduction process of discharge capacity of the lithium ion battery in a cycle process, and is characterized in that the capacity of the battery is greatly reduced in a short time. As can be seen from comparative examples 5 to 12, when the silicon element content in the anode active material is more than 50% by mass, the battery cycle performance is not improved even if 0.01 to 5.0% of the compound represented by structural formula 1 is added.
Meanwhile, according to the data of examples 1-23, although the content of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is improved, the improvement of the battery cycle performance is not in a linear relationship, which indicates that the improvement of the battery performance is related to the content of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 and the silicon element mass percent content in the anode active material, and only if the content of the compound and the silicon element mass percent content are coordinated within a certain range, the improvement of the battery can be obviously achieved.

TABLE 2
As can be seen from the test results of Table 2, the mass percentage (T%) of silicon element in the negative electrode active materials of examples 24 to 29 is in the range of 2 to 10%, the mass percentage (T%) of the silicon element in the negative electrode active materials of examples 30 to 35 is also in the range of 2 to 10%, but the mass percentage (T%) of the silicon element in the negative electrode active materials of examples 30 to 35 is more than 3%, and the test results show that the minimum capacity retention rate of examples 24 to 29 can reach 73.1%, the maximum capacity retention rate of examples 30 to 35 is only 75.1%, the minimum capacity retention rate is only 63.6%, and the impedance growth rate and the air expansion rate of examples 24 to 29 are generally lower than those of examples 30 to 35. When the mass percentage of silicon element in the anode active material is between 2% and 10%, the addition of a proper amount of electrolyte containing 0.01% to 3% of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 can effectively improve the high-temperature cycle performance of the battery, and when the addition amount is 3% to 5%, the impedance is increased due to an interface film formed by the compound shown in the structural formula 1, and the cycle performance is reduced. The method shows that when the mass percentage (T%) of silicon element in the anode active material is 2-10%, and the content of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is 0.01-3%, the method has a remarkable effect on improving the cycle performance of the battery.
1.3, Examples 11, 12, 36 to 44 and comparative example 13 are filled in Table 3.
TABLE 3 Table 3
As can be seen from the test results in Table 3, the negative electrode active materials of examples 11, 12 and 36 to 39 each have a silicon element content by mass (T%) within a range of 10 to 50% and the compound represented by structural formula 1 each has a silicon element content by mass (T%) within a range of 10 to 50% and the negative electrode active materials of examples 40 to 44 each have a silicon element content by mass (T%) within a range of 10 to 50% but the compound represented by structural formula 1 each has a content of less than 0.05%, and the test results show that the 45℃ cycle 800 capacity retention of examples 11, 12 and 36 to 39 is 70% or more and the 45℃ cycle 800 capacity retention of examples 40 to 44 is 70% or less, and that the impedance growth rate and the air expansion rate of examples 11, 12 and 36 to 39 are lower than those of examples 40 to 44 by about 20% points. When the mass percentage of silicon in the anode material is increased to 10% -50%, the optimal content of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 required for forming the complete interface film is increased, so that the cycle performance of the battery can be effectively improved when the content of the compound is 0.05% -5%. The silicon element mass percent in the anode active material is 10 percent < T less than or equal to 50 percent, and the content of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is 0.05-5 percent, so that the impedance, the air expansion and the cycle performance of the battery are all obviously improved.
Table 4 is filled with test results obtained in 1.4, examples 11, 45 to 58 and comparative examples 1 to 4.

As can be seen from the test results in Table 4, under the condition that the mass percentage of silicon element in the anode active material is 2-50%, the cyclic performance of the battery is improved to different degrees by adopting the compounds shown in different structural formulas 1 to be added into the electrolyte.
The test results obtained in 1.5, examples 59 to 62 and comparative examples 14 to 17 are shown in Table 5.
TABLE 5
As can be seen from the data in Table 5, in examples 59 to 62, the compound of formula 1 was used in combination with a conventional additive for lithium batteries, while the compound of formula 1 was not added to comparative examples 14 to 17. Test results show that the capacity retention rate of the example 59-62 at 45 ℃ for 800 circles is obviously higher than that of the comparative examples 14-17, and meanwhile, the impedance growth rate and the air expansion rate are lower than those of the comparative examples 14-17, so that the high-temperature cycle performance of the battery can be further improved by the compound shown in the structural formula 1 and the conventional additive of the lithium battery.
In summary, the invention can remarkably improve the problems of battery cycle gas expansion, impedance increase and the like by adding the compound shown in the structural formula 1 into the nonaqueous electrolyte, reduce the generation of gas in the battery cycle process, and obviously improve the cycle capacity, and meanwhile, the inventor finds that the battery performance is not improved linearly along with the increase of the content of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 through a large amount of experiments, the improvement of the battery performance by the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is related to the mass ratio of the silicon element to the anode active material, and the compound shown in the structural formula 1 can effectively improve the cycle performance of the battery when the mass ratio of the silicon element to the anode active material is 2% -50%. Further researches show that when the mass percentage of silicon element in the anode active material is 2-10%, and the content of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is 0.01-3%, the improvement of the battery cycle performance is achieved, and when the mass percentage of silicon element in the anode active material is 10% < T less than or equal to 50%, and the content of the compound shown in the structural formula 1 is 0.05-5%, the battery ballooning, the impedance and the cycle performance are all improved remarkably.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention.
