The compaction density of the negative pole piece calculated by testing the thickness of the pole piece is as follows:
the compaction density calculation method comprises the following steps:
the compacted density is the area density/(pole piece thickness-copper foil thickness), and the copper foil thickness is 6 μm;
as shown in the table above, the negative electrode sheet limit compaction density increases with increasing proportion of high compaction additive. The use of the high compaction additive has an obvious effect on improving the compaction of the negative pole piece.
The additive is subjected to electron microscope characterization to determine the morphology of the additive, and the result is shown in figure 1.
The negative pole piece of the comparative example and the negative pole pieces of the examples 1 to 3 are mixed according to the proportion of 1.75g/cm3And rolling, recording the thickness change of the pole piece from rolling to baking, and calculating the thickness rebound of the pole piece. The anode bounce data of each example and comparative example were obtained. As a result, as shown in fig. 2, the negative electrode tab bounce decreased with the increase in the high compaction additive, and when the high compaction additive was added in an amount exceeding 5g, the negative electrode bounce decreased tendency became gentle. The use of the high-capacity and high-compaction additive has a remarkable effect on reducing the rebound of the negative electrode.
The battery capacity of the negative electrode plate of the comparative example and the negative electrode plates of examples 1 to 3 was tested. Capacity data were obtained for each of the examples and comparative examples. The results are shown in fig. 3, where the cell capacity of each example was not significantly different from that of the comparative example, indicating that the addition of the high compaction additive did not adversely affect the cell capacity.
And (3) respectively assembling the negative pole pieces of the comparative example and the examples 1-3 into a battery, and testing the internal resistance of the battery to obtain the internal resistance data of the battery of each example and comparative example. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the internal resistance of the cell decreased with the increase of the high compaction additive, and when the amount of the high compaction additive added exceeded 5g, the tendency of the decrease in the internal resistance of the cell became gentle. The application of the high-volume compaction additive has a remarkable effect on reducing the internal resistance of the battery.
All the data show that the use of the high compaction additive in the negative electrode system meets the requirement of improving the compaction of the negative electrode plate, reduces the rebound of the rolled negative electrode plate and the internal resistance of the battery, and has no negative influence on the battery capacity.
