The invention relates to the field of
lithium ion battery manufacturing, in particular to an isobaric formation method for a
lithium ion battery. The method comprises the following steps that (1) thebattery to be formed is placed into a formation box,
inert gas is introduced for 15 minutes, a sealing plug is pulled out, a
liquid storage tank is additionally arranged above a
liquid injection portof the battery and is open; (2) an
inert gas
inlet valve is closed, vacuumizing is carried out to reach -0.075 MPa to -0.09 MPa, a vacuum valve is closed, and heating is carried out to increase the temperature in the box to 20-35 DEG C; (3) the formation step is set and started; and (4) after formation is finished, the
inert gas is introduced, and the
liquid injection port of the battery is plugged with the sealing plug. According to the method, an isobaric formation technology is adopted, so that the sucking-back amount of
electrolyte in the formation process can be decreased, in addition, gas generated in a
battery cell in the formation process can be removed in time, the periphery of the
battery cell is fully filled with the
electrolyte, polarization caused by the concentration difference of
lithium ions is reduced, so that a thin and dense SEI film is formed on the surface of a negative
electrode, the
direct current internal resistance and the
alternating current internal resistance of the battery are reduced, the
discharge capacity is improved, and therefore the capacity per gramme of the battery is improved.
