The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a negative electrode expanding agent for a storage battery. The negative electrode expanding agent for the storage battery can effectively prolong the deep cycle life of the storage battery.
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:

the sodium lignosulfonate is modified sodium lignosulfonate, and is prepared by the following method:

Preferably, the alkali lignin in step (1) is wheat straw alkali lignin.
Preferably, the weight using amount ratio of the precipitated alkali lignin to the p-chloromethyl styrene in the step (2) is 2-3: 1.

The inventor of the invention finds in research that sodium lignosulfonate in the expanding agent plays an important role in the deep cycle life of the storage battery, and different selections of sodium lignosulfonate can lead to different deep cycle lives of the storage battery. The inventor shows through a large number of experimental studies that the modified sodium lignosulfonate obtained by reacting alkali lignin with p-chloromethyl styrene under the conditions of the invention and then carrying out sulfonation reaction can greatly prolong the deep cycle life of the storage battery compared with other sodium lignosulfonates.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the negative electrode expanding agent for the storage battery, which comprises the following steps:
(1) mixing a conductive material, barium sulfate and modified sodium lignosulfonate in a mixer;
(2) and then transferring the mixture into a ball mill for ball milling for 5-60 min to obtain the negative electrode expanding agent for the storage battery.
Preferably, the specific mixing method in the mixer in the step (1) is as follows: the conductive material and the modified sodium lignosulfonate are mixed for 10-20 min, and then the barium sulfate is added and mixed for 20-30 min.
The inventor finds that the mixing mode in the step (1) plays an important role in whether a uniformly dispersed and stable negative electrode expanding agent can be obtained or not in a specific production process; the dispersion and stability of specific negative electrode swelling agents further affect the deep cycle life of the battery. Researches show that the obtained negative electrode expanding agent with specific dispersity and stability can be beneficial to further prolonging the deep cycle life of the storage battery only by fully and uniformly mixing the conductive material and the modified sodium lignosulfonate and then adding the modified sodium lignosulfonate for full mixing. Compared with the negative electrode expanding agent obtained by directly mixing the conductive material, the barium sulfate and the modified lignosulfonic acid, the method is more beneficial to improving the deep cycle life.
Preferably, the mixer is selected from horizontal coulter mixers.
Preferably, the inner wall of the ball mill is made of stainless steel, polyurethane or a ceramic lining plate; the grinding medium in the ball mill is selected from metal balls and/or metal oxide ceramic balls.
Most preferably, the stainless steel is 304 stainless steel.

Preferably, the grinding media in the ball mill are graded by metal balls and/or metal oxide ceramic balls with three sizes; respectively are metal balls or metal oxide ceramic balls with the diameter of 2-15 mm; metal balls or metal oxide ceramic balls with the diameter of 15-50 mm; metal balls or metal oxide ceramic balls with a diameter of 50-100 mm.
More preferably, the weight ratio of the metal balls or metal oxide ceramic balls with the diameter of 2-15 mm to the metal balls or metal oxide ceramic balls with the diameter of 15-50 mm to the metal balls or metal oxide ceramic balls with the diameter of 50-100 mm is 1-50: 1-50: 1-50.
More preferably, the weight ratio of the metal balls or metal oxide ceramic balls with the diameter of 2-15 mm to the metal balls or metal oxide ceramic balls with the diameter of 15-50 mm to the metal balls or metal oxide ceramic balls with the diameter of 50-100 mm is 1-5: 1-5: 1-5.
Still more preferably, the grinding media in the ball mill are graded by using metal balls and/or metal oxide ceramic balls with three sizes; stainless steel balls with the diameter of 2-15 mm are respectively arranged; zirconium dioxide ceramic balls with the diameter of 15-50 mm; alumina ceramic balls with the diameter of 50-100 mm; the weight ratio of the stainless steel balls to the zirconium dioxide ceramic balls to the aluminum oxide ceramic balls is 3-5: 1-2: 1.
further, ball milling in the step (2) is carried out for 5-10 min by adopting a rotation rate of 85% -90%, then ball milling is carried out for 10-15 min by adjusting the rotation rate to 65% -70%, then ball milling is carried out for 5-10 min by adjusting the rotation rate to 80% -85%, and finally ball milling is carried out for 15-25 min by adjusting the rotation rate to 50% -60%.
The inventors found in the specific production process that the ball milling mode in step (2) also plays an important role in obtaining a uniformly dispersed and stable negative electrode expanding agent. Research shows that only by ball milling under the alternate change of different rotating speeds, the negative electrode expanding agent which has specific dispersity and stability and is beneficial to further prolonging the deep cycle life of the storage battery can be obtained. Compared with the negative electrode expanding agent directly obtained by ball milling at the same ball milling rotating speed, the deep cycle life of the storage battery can be prolonged.
Has the advantages that: the invention provides a storage battery cathode expanding agent containing brand-new modified sodium lignosulfonate; research shows that the storage battery cathode expanding agent added with brand-new modified sodium lignosulfonate can greatly prolong the deep cycle life of the storage battery. Further, in the preparation method, the inventor researches and discovers that the mixing mode in the mixer and the ball milling rotation speed rate in the ball mill can determine the dispersion degree and stability of the negative electrode expanding agent; research shows that the negative electrode expanding agent beneficial to further prolonging the deep cycle life of the storage battery can be obtained under the mixing and ball milling conditions.

As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the deep cycle life of the automobile starting battery prepared from the negative electrode expanding agent for the storage battery prepared in the embodiments 1-3 is more than 17, and is far more than 7 specified by the standard; the cathode expanding agent for the storage battery can well prolong the deep cycle life of the starting battery of the automobile.
Compared with the comparative examples 1 and 2, the negative electrode expanding agent for the storage battery prepared in the example 1 has far longer deep cycle life on the automobile starting battery than the comparative examples 1 and 2; this demonstrates that the selection of lignosulfonic acid in negative electrode swelling agents for batteries plays a significant role in the deep cycle life of automotive starting batteries. The invention makes alkali lignin react with p-chloromethyl styrene under the condition of the invention, and then the modified sodium lignosulfonate obtained by sulfonation reaction can greatly improve the deep cycle life of the storage battery. The sodium lignosulphonate obtained by the alkali lignin which does not react with p-chloromethyl styrene or other substances cannot effectively prolong the deep cycle life of the storage battery.
In addition, in examples 1-3 and comparative example 3, the deep cycle life of the negative electrode expanding agent for the storage battery prepared in example 3 for the automobile starting battery is greatly improved in a range larger than that of examples 1 and 2 and comparative example 3, which shows that the deep cycle life of the automobile starting battery can be further improved by further adjusting the preparation method on the basis of adopting the modified sodium lignosulfonate; and the negative electrode expanding agent which is beneficial to further prolonging the deep cycle life of the storage battery can be obtained under the mixing and ball milling conditions.
