The negative pole that is used for lithium secondary battery of the present invention is divided into three types roughly according to its feature.
First kind of negative pole that is used for lithium secondary battery of the present invention is characterised in that a kind of of the above-mentioned graphite granule of use.By being shaped as shapes such as thin slice, bead, said graphite thickener can obtain this negative pole that is used for lithium secondary battery.
Said graphite thickener is coated on a kind of current collector and with said current collector integration, form a kind of negative pole.
As said current collector, can use the paper tinsel or the net of nickel, copper etc.Can carry out said integration by the combination of using mould pressing method such as roll-in, compacting or these methods.
Second kind of negative pole that is used for lithium secondary battery of the present invention is characterised in that the mixture and a kind of current collector integration of a kind of graphite granule with organic bond, after said integration, the density of the mixture of said graphite granule and adhesive is 1.5~1.9g/cm 3, 1.55~1.85g/cm preferably 3, 1.6~1.85g/cm more preferably 3, 1.6~1.8g/cm further preferably 3The density of the graphite granule by increase constituting negative pole of the present invention and the mixture of adhesive, the lithium secondary battery that obtains from said negative pole can have the energy density of the unit volume of increase.If the density of the mixture of graphite granule and adhesive is greater than 1.9g/cm 3, said fast charging and discharging performance worsens.If said density is less than 1.5g/cm 3, the lithium secondary battery that is obtained has the energy density of reduction.
At the second kind of the present invention used graphite granule of negative pole that is used for lithium secondary battery can be any graphite, as long as can design its density in above-mentioned scope.Material beyond the above-mentioned graphite granule of the present invention also is operable as native graphite etc.Yet, in all these graphite granules, above-mentioned graphite granule of the present invention is particularly preferred, because when the density of the negative pole that increases prepared lithium secondary battery, use graphite of the present invention might improve discharge capacity, fast charging and discharging performance and cycle performance.
The mixing ratio of used organic bond, current collector and the solvent types of second kind of the present invention negative pole that is used for lithium secondary battery and these components can with used identical of first kind of the present invention negative pole that is used for lithium secondary battery.
For the density of the mixture that makes graphite granule and organic bond drops in the above-mentioned scope, preferably under the condition of exerting pressure, carry out the integration of the mixture of current collector and graphite and organic bond after integration.Said pressure can apply by roll or forcing press etc.
