The lithium ion batteries of the above examples and comparative examples were subjected to performance tests, the test procedures being as follows:
(1) Testing of resistance properties of membranes
The testing method comprises the steps of adopting a four-probe method testing principle to test the diaphragm resistance by using a two-probe resistance tester, cutting a pole piece into a square size of 4cm multiplied by 8cm, then placing the pole piece below the two probes, connecting the two probes with a resistance meter through two poles, rotating a handle of a testing device, extruding the pole piece by stable pressure on the probes, controlling the pressure through a pressure gauge, reading resistance data of the resistance meter after the pressure reaches a certain pressure, wherein the data is a relative value of the resistance of the pole piece.
(2) Capacity retention at 45 ℃ 3C/3C
Thickness D of full-electricity cell before test 0 Placing the battery in a (45 + -3) deg.C environment, standing for 3 hr, after the battery temperature reaches 45 deg.C, charging the battery to 4.3V at constant voltage according to constant current 3C (3C: 3 times of rated capacity as current, the same below), charging to cut-off current 0.05C at constant voltage, standing for 5min, discharging to 3V at 3C, and recording initial capacity Q 0 When the number of cycles reaches the required number (1000 cycles) and the capacity fading rate is less than 80%, the previous discharge capacity is taken as the capacity Q of the battery 2 Calculating capacity retention rate (%), taking out the battery full, standing for 3 hours at normal temperature, and testing full thickness D 2 The thickness change rate (%) was calculated, and the results are shown in Table 1. The calculation formula used therein is as follows:
retention ratio of cycle capacity = Q 2 /Q 0 X 100%. Thickness expansion rate = ((D) 2 -D 0 )/D 0 )×100%。
(3) Analysis of powder falling of battery under circulation

Figure BDA0002770816890000141
As can be seen from the above examples and comparative examples, the sheet resistances of the binders having bimolecular weight distributions in the present invention were all lower than those of the comparative examples under the same conditions, indicating that the low molecular weight distribution polymer of the first component diffused more uniformly between the conductive agent and the negative active material, ensuring good contact at the interface between the conductive agent and the negative active material, reducing the internal resistance, and thus the sheet resistance of the resulting electrode sheet was smaller.
Meanwhile, from the view of cycle data, the cycle number and the expansion rate of examples 1 to 5 are lower than those of comparative examples 1 to 7, because the polymer with double molecular weight distribution in the examples exerts a synergistic effect, the low molecular weight polymer binder mainly containing butadiene diffuses into the active material, so that the internal bonding uniformity is ensured, the high molecular weight polymer binder mainly containing styrene improves the mechanical strength between the active materials through internal crosslinking, and the higher cohesive force ensures that the electrolyte cannot swell the binder, so that the stability of the interface is ensured. Therefore, the number of cycles and the expansion ratio in examples 1 to 5 were superior to those in comparative examples 1 to 7. Specifically, it is seen from example 5 and comparative example 5 that the binder of the present invention still circulates better than the conventional SBR binder with a small amount of binder, and the energy density is improved by 7 points. From the above comparative examples 6 and 7, it can be seen that the cycle number is very small when the peak of the molecular weight distribution of the first component is 1 ten thousand and the peak of the molecular weight distribution of the second component is 2000 ten thousand, and the difference between the molecular weights of the two components is too large, so that the viscosity is not well controlled when preparing the slurry, the slurry dispersibility is poor, the coating of the pole piece is not uniform, the resistance of the polarized large membrane of the pole piece is increased, and the cycle number is small, and the expansion is large.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
