In the traditional technology, when the foamed nickel is manufactured, the resistance of a foamed plastic matrix is higher at the initial stage of traditional symmetrical electroplating, the current distribution is mainly concentrated at the current collector end, and the nickel plating quantity on the current collector side (the outer side of the foamed plastic) is high; at the moment, the resistance of a current collector (on the outer side of the foamed plastic) is very small and is close to the solution phase, and if the influence of liquid phase polarization is not considered, the current is mainly concentrated on the outer side, so that the nickel plating amount on the outer side of the foamed nickel is large, the nickel plating amount in the middle is small, the symmetrical distribution of the nickel plating amount inside and outside the foamed nickel is generated, and the symmetrical distribution cannot be weakened by secondary electroplating.
How to increase the plating thickness of the middle layer of the existing foam nickel (namely, increase the deposition thickness ratio DTR), thereby improving the compression resistance of the foam nickel, and improving the winding performance and the penetration resistance; the method reduces rolling cracks and winding cracks in the electrode plate manufacturing process in the aspect of battery improvement, reduces the internal resistance of the battery, and improves the cycle characteristic of the battery, and is a key technical problem which is always sought to be broken through in the whole foam nickel manufacturing industry.
On the other hand, under the influence of the market competition of batteries, battery manufacturers are in the future in a great trend to develop nickel foam to a low surface density direction in order to reduce the cost of the batteries and reduce the surface density specification of the nickel foam. Under the premise of no change of battery capacity (powder filling amount), after the surface density of the foamed nickel is reduced, when powder (slurry) is filled in a manufactured polar plate, the most critical part influencing the crack rate of the polar plate is an intermediate plating layer of the foamed nickel, so that the improvement of DTR and compression resistance of the foamed nickel by adopting a DDT process is a key measure for developing low-surface-density products.
In addition, part of battery manufacturers require the winding performance of the oriented three-dimensional material, the oriented winding performance is in positive correlation with the surface density of a single surface, the larger the surface density is, the better the winding performance is, and under the requirements of cost and related performance of the battery at the current stage, the equivalent surface density is difficult to greatly break through, and double-surface electroplating (the surface density is increased while the surface density is reduced, so that the effect of controlling the whole surface density is achieved) is a difficult point which cannot be overcome by the existing electroplating equipment.
In order to better illustrate the inventive concept of the present invention, the following will specifically describe the theory relating to the polarization of porous electrodes.
When the porous electrode works, the inner surface of the porous electrode is not uniform to realize electrochemical reaction. The mass transfer resistance of the liquid phase in the pores generates concentration polarization in the porous electrode, so that the polarization on the electrode/electrolyte interface at each point in the electrode is not uniform, and the advantage of large specific surface area of the porous electrode is partially offset.
The main objective of the research on porous electrodes is to analyze the basic electrochemical behavior of such electrodes and to find ways to optimize their electrode performance. The main idea is to divide the electrode area into two phases: the solid particles form a solid phase; the gaps between the solid particles are filled with electrolyte and are in solution phase.
For a flat metal electrode, the potentials at each point inside the electrode can be considered to be equal, and the polarization potential is:
Figure GDA0003370018650000061
in the porous electrode, due to the existence of solid phase resistance and liquid phase resistance in the micropores, the inside points
Figure GDA0003370018650000062
And
Figure GDA0003370018650000063
and the polarization potentials at each point are different. Therefore, the reaction speed of each point is different, and the utilization rate of each position in the electrode is different: the reaction speed is high at the place with high polarization potential, and the utilization rate is high; place of low polarization potentialThe reaction speed is slow, and the utilization rate is low.
For convenient mathematical treatment, neglecting the structural details of the porous electrode, adopting a parameter 'effective value' with statistical average significance, and treating each part in the porous electrode as a macroscopic homogeneous body. In an equivalent analog circuit of a porous electrode, as shown in fig. 1, the electrode is divided in a direction parallel to the surface into a number of thin layers of thickness dx. The electrochemical reaction occurring in the sheet is represented by conversion of liquid phase current into solid phase current (-dIl ═ dIs), and ρ sdx, ρ ldx, z/dx are used to represent solid phase resistance, liquid phase resistance, and reaction resistance in the sheet, respectively. Due to the existence of the solid-phase resistance and the liquid-phase resistance, the liquid-phase potential and the solid-phase potential in the electrode are different (figure 2); as x increases, Il continuously decreases and Is continuously increases. Thus, the reaction current can be expressed as:
dI=-dIl=dIsη/(z/dx) ((η/z)) dx (formula 2)
By
Figure GDA0003370018650000064
And
Figure GDA0003370018650000065
can be obtained separately:
Figure GDA0003370018650000066
Figure GDA0003370018650000067
from equations (equation 3) and (equation 4), we can obtain:
Figure GDA0003370018650000071
the equation (formula 5) is the basic polarization equation of the porous electrode.
When the solid-liquid phase resistance is combined with polarization control
In this case, assuming that α ═ β ═ 0.5, equation (equation 5) can be written as:
Figure GDA0003370018650000072
at this time, the boundary conditions of the polarization equation are:
Figure GDA0003370018650000073
the mathematical processing of this equation is complex, but numerical solutions can be given by software calculations.
When solid-liquid joint polarization is carried out, the distribution of the potential and the bulk current density depends on the ratio K and R:
Figure GDA0003370018650000074
the reaction area on the electrode can be represented by FIG. 3, and when k is less than 0.1, the current distribution is substantially uniform; when k > 1, the polarization distribution is always non-uniform; when k is 0.1 to 1, the low polarization is relatively uniform, and the high polarization is not uniform.
In the actual foam nickel electroplating process, rho s & gt rho l at the initial electroplating stage, and R is far greater than 1, so that the current distribution close to the current collector is larger, and the current is plated firstly; as the nickel is increased near the current collector, the conductivity of the electrode is continuously improved, rho l & gt rho s appears, and R is far less than 1, and the reaction area is positioned on one side close to the liquid phase, namely the outer side of the foamed nickel. Therefore, the total ratio of the outer side of the foamed nickel to the inner side is easy to plate nickel, so that the inner and outer plating amount distribution is required to be adjusted by utilizing the porous electrode principle, and the uniform electroplating of the inner side and the outer side is realized.
In the initial stage of asymmetric electroplating, the phenomenon of uneven outer side and inner side electroplating of the foamed nickel is also caused, but due to different currents on two sides of the foamed nickel, the nickel plating quantity on the side with large current is high, the nickel plating quantity on the side with small current is low, and asymmetric distribution of the nickel plating quantity in the foamed nickel is formed. When the reverse secondary asymmetric electroplating is carried out, the side with less nickel plating amount is plated with more nickel, and the side with high nickel plating amount is plated with less nickel, so that reverse asymmetric distribution is formed. Thus, the positive and negative asymmetric electroplating superposition can further weaken the unevenness of nickel plating at the inner side of the foam nickel and improve the overall nickel plating effect.
To this end, the present invention provides a double-sided electrodeposition apparatus, as shown in fig. 4, including a front titanium basket 130 and a rear titanium basket 140, the double-sided electrodeposition apparatus further including: a first rectifier 110 electrically connected to the front titanium basket 130 and a second rectifier 120 electrically connected to the rear titanium basket 140; wherein the first rectifier 110 is configured to distribute current to the front titanium basket 130, the second rectifier 120 is configured to distribute current to the rear titanium basket 140, and at least two times of electrodeposition are performed on the electrodeposition product according to a predetermined current distribution ratio.
It is to be noted that the at least two times include two times, three times, four times, or more times as necessary.
The double-sided electrodeposition device according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the invention has at least the following advantages: the current distribution of the front titanium basket 130 and the rear titanium basket 140 is controlled by arranging the first rectifier 110 and the second rectifier 120, and the electrodeposition is performed on the product to be electrodeposited at least twice according to the predetermined current distribution ratio, so that the unevenness of nickel plating inside the nickel foam 150 can be weakened, the overall nickel plating effect can be improved, the deposition thickness can be increased, and the compression resistance and the winding performance of the nickel foam 150 can be improved.
In some embodiments, the current distribution of the first rectifier 110 to the front titanium basket 130 is not equal to the current distribution of the second rectifier 120 to the rear titanium basket 140.
It can be understood that, in the initial period of asymmetric electrodeposition, the uneven electrodeposition between the outer side and the inner side of the nickel foam 150 is also caused, but because the currents on the two sides of the nickel foam 150 are different, the nickel plating amount on the side with large current is high, and the nickel plating amount on the side with small current is low, so that the asymmetric distribution of the nickel plating amount in the nickel foam 150 is formed. When the reverse secondary asymmetric electrodeposition is carried out, the side with less nickel plating amount is plated with more nickel, and the side with high nickel plating amount is plated with less nickel, so that reverse asymmetric distribution is formed. The positive and negative asymmetric electrodeposition superposition can further weaken the unevenness of nickel plating on the inner side of the nickel foam 150 and improve the overall nickel plating effect.

The double-sided electrodeposition method according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the invention has at least the following beneficial effects: the current distribution ratio of the front titanium basket 130 and the rear titanium basket 140 is controlled by arranging the first rectifier 110 and the second rectifier 120, and the electrodeposition is performed twice on the product to be electrodeposited according to the predetermined current distribution ratio, so that the unevenness of nickel plating on the inner side of the nickel foam 150 can be weakened, the overall nickel plating effect is improved, the deposition thickness is increased, and the compression resistance and the winding performance of the nickel foam 150 are improved.

The relevant principles of asymmetric deposition in the following 4 types of processes are described in connection with fig. 4: in the initial stage of asymmetric electrodeposition, the phenomenon of uneven electrodeposition between the outer side and the inner side of the nickel foam 150 is also caused, but because the currents on the two sides of the nickel foam 150 are different, the nickel plating amount on the side with large current is high, the nickel plating amount on the side with small current is low, and the asymmetric distribution of the nickel plating amount in the nickel foam 150 is formed. When the reverse secondary asymmetric electrodeposition is carried out, the side with less nickel plating amount is plated with more nickel, and the side with high nickel plating amount is plated with less nickel, so that reverse asymmetric distribution is formed. The positive and negative asymmetric electrodeposition superposition can further weaken the unevenness of nickel plating on the inner side of the nickel foam 150 and improve the overall nickel plating effect.
