Description

Preparation method and application of graphene conductive slurry
Technical Field
The invention discloses a preparation method and application of graphene conductive slurry, and belongs to the technical field of battery manufacturing.
Background
Graphene is a novel two-dimensional nano material, has super-strong conductivity, and is the best material for the current conductivity. With simultaneous ultrahigh electronsMobility (200000 cm)2V.S) as conductive additive, the conductive additive can greatly improve the conductivity of the positive electrode material, effectively shorten the electron transmission path during the charge and discharge of the battery, and accelerate the transmission speed of the positive electrode material and the battery. The method has important significance for improving the energy density, rate capability, cycle life and the like of the lithium battery. However, the current graphene used as a conductive additive for the positive electrode of the lithium battery has the following engineering technical problems:
firstly, the graphene obtained by the existing batch preparation method has high defect and poor conductivity, is used for a battery, and has no obvious performance improvement or even worsens the performance of the battery;
secondly, due to the steric effect of ions, lithium ions are difficult to penetrate through a six-membered ring of the graphene, and when the battery works, the graphene brings certain negative effects on the transmission of the lithium ions in the electrolyte, so that the power performance of the lithium ion battery is influenced. The larger the sheet diameter, the more significant the effect of graphene on lithium ion inhibition, and the poorer the rate capability exhibited. The method can be solved by graphene banding, porosification or reducing the size and the like.
Thirdly, the graphene prepared in batch at present has a wide distribution range of the sheet diameter, and shows poor consistency of battery performance when being applied to a lithium battery as a conductive agent.
In addition, the graphene/carbon nano tube is a mainstream composite conductive agent at present, and when the graphene/carbon nano tube is applied to a battery, the addition proportion of the conductive agent can be greatly reduced, and the energy density of the battery is improved. However, graphene is compounded with carbon tubes, so that stacking and curling of graphene are more likely to occur, and performance of graphene is limited. By reducing the graphene sheet diameter, the occurrence of this phenomenon can be effectively suppressed.
Therefore, in order to exert the electrochemical performance of graphene serving as a conductive agent in the positive electrode to the maximum extent so as to prepare a high-performance battery device product, the development of the graphene conductive slurry applicable to the field of energy storage batteries is of great significance.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method and application of graphene conductive slurry aiming at the defects existing in the lithium battery applying graphene as a conductive additive at present, and the technical scheme ensures good dispersion of graphene in an electrode and realizes rapid transmission and diffusion of electrons and ions by preparing a small-diameter (less than or equal to 20 mu m, controllable-diameter sheet), low-defect and porous graphene nanosheet. The graphene conductive paste provided by the invention is used as a conductive additive to be applied to a lithium battery anode, so that the polarization of the battery can be greatly reduced, and the rate capability and the energy density of the battery can be remarkably improved.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for preparing graphene conductive paste, which comprises the following steps:
firstly, crushing a flake graphite raw material to a flake diameter of less than or equal to 20 microns, and screening to obtain small-flake graphite with uniform flake diameter;
step two, uniformly mixing the crushed crystalline flake graphite with an intercalation agent and an oxidant, and fully reacting in a water bath at the temperature of 20-100 ℃, wherein the mass ratio of the crystalline flake graphite to the intercalation agent to the oxidant is 1: 1-10: 0.1-5;
step three, adding deionized water into the reaction liquid obtained in the step two, washing, filtering and drying into powder;
placing the dried powder in a muffle furnace, and heating for 10-60 s at 800-1000 ℃ to obtain a graphene precursor;
and step five, mixing the graphene precursor with N-methyl pyrrolidone, and performing ultrasonic oscillation for more than 30min to prepare the graphene conductive slurry with the solid content of 0.1-3%.
In one implementation, a jet mill is used to crush the flake graphite.
In one implementation, the purity of the flake graphite material is greater than or equal to 98%.
In one implementation, the intercalation agent is one or a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated nitric acid, perchloric acid, acetic acid and phosphoric acid.
In one implementation, the oxidant is one or a mixture of more of potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, potassium dichromate and chromium trioxide.
The technical scheme of the invention also provides an application of the graphene conductive paste prepared by the method, which is characterized in that: the graphene conductive slurry and the carbon nano tube conductive slurry are mixed and dispersed through a planetary mixer to obtain composite conductive slurry, and the composite conductive slurry is used as a lithium battery conductive additive and added in the anode homogenizing process.
In one implementation, the mass ratio of graphene to carbon nanotubes in the graphene conductive paste and the carbon nanotube conductive paste is 1: 0.3-3.
In one implementation, the positive active material is one or a mixture of more of lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium nickel cobalt manganate and lithium nickel cobalt aluminate, and the median particle size value is equivalent to the graphene sheet size value.
Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the following beneficial effects:
firstly, compared with several typical preparation methods (such as an oxidation-reduction method, a CVD method and the like), the graphene nanosheet prepared by the method has the advantages of few defects, high conductivity, low cost and the like, and can realize batch production.
And secondly, the preparation of small-particle-diameter (less than or equal to 20 mu m and controllable-particle-diameter) porous graphene nanosheets is realized, and the graphene nanosheets are used as positive electrode materials matched with particle diameters, can improve the conductivity, ensure the diffusion rate of lithium ions and obviously improve the relevant electrochemical performance of the battery. Meanwhile, the distribution range of the diameters of the graphene nanosheets is narrow, and the consistency of the battery is ensured.
Thirdly, graphene/carbon nanotubes are the mainstream composite conductive agent at present, but the problem that graphene generated during the compounding of the graphene and the carbon nanotubes is easy to agglomerate is not effectively solved in the industry. The graphene prepared by the method has the characteristics of small sheet diameter and difficult curling on the premise of ensuring the number of thin layers, and can be well compounded with the carbon nano tube by adopting conventional lithium battery slurry mixing equipment. The method is applied to the pole pieces, and can cooperatively construct a high-efficiency conductive network.
