Description

Mussel bionic polymer, silicon-carbon negative electrode binder, silicon-carbon negative electrode material and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and particularly relates to a mussel bionic polymer, a silicon-carbon negative electrode binder, a silicon-carbon negative electrode material and application thereof.
Background
With the demand of new energy automobiles, communication and portable equipment and the like for high capacity and high endurance capacity of lithium ion batteries, the development of lithium ion batteries reaches a bottleneck. For the negative electrode, the currently widely used negative electrode materials are various carbon materials mainly comprising graphite, the theoretical capacity of the carbon materials is only 372mAh/g, and the carbon materials are close to the theoretical capacity in the practical application process, so that the higher capacity requirement is difficult to achieve. Therefore, research on the high-specific-capacity negative electrode active material is great, wherein the theoretical capacity of the silicon carbon material is far higher than that of the graphite carbon material, 4200mAh/g can be achieved, resources are relatively rich, and the silicon carbon material is a main choice of a next-generation novel negative electrode material. However, the silicon-carbon material is accompanied by huge volume change in the process of lithium intercalation and deintercalation, which causes pulverization of the silicon-carbon active material and cracking of a conductive network, and finally causes rapid capacity fading. At this time, a strong binder is required to maintain the stability of the composite electrode coating during charge and discharge. The silicon-carbon negative electrode binder is a substance for adhering particles such as a silicon-carbon composite material and a conductive agent to a current collector, and accounts for 2% -12% of the negative electrode slurry.
Polyacrylic acid is a water-soluble chain polymer, can form polyacrylate with a plurality of metal ions, such as sodium polyacrylate, and the sodium polyacrylate is easily soluble in water, has a thickening effect, and can be used as a thickener of lithium ion battery slurry. Molecular chains of polyacrylic acid and salts thereof also have a plurality of oxygen-containing groups (-COOH), which can form hydrogen bond action with the surface of the silicon-carbon active material, endow the active particles with stronger binding force with a current collector, simultaneously have the function of relieving the volume expansion of the silicon-based material, can improve the cycle performance of the battery, prolong the service life of the battery, and have been applied to silicon-carbon cathodes of lithium ion batteries. However, the adhesion of the polyacrylic acid binder used in commercial industry is mainly due to van der waals force and carboxyl, and since the surface group content of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is limited and the polyacrylic acid is a rigid linear polymer chain as a whole, when the volume of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material expands to a certain extent, the adhesion effect of the polyacrylic acid binder is poor, and the silicon-carbon negative electrode material still suffers from chalking.

The mussel bionic polymer has carboxyl in the chemical structure, and can react with silicon oxygen groups and silicon hydroxyl groups on the surface of a silicon-carbon negative active material to form hydrogen bonds and covalent ester bonds, so that the mussel bionic polymer has strong binding force with the silicon-carbon negative active material, and the formation of the covalent ester bonds also restrains and relieves the volume expansion of the silicon-carbon negative active material, so that the mussel bionic polymer can keep the electrical contact between silicon and carbon in the lithiation/delithiation process, and further improves the cycle performance and the conductivity of the silicon-carbon negative active material; secondly, the polyacrylic acid is integrally a rigid linear polymer chain, and the silicon-carbon negative electrode binder has high modulus and good flexibility by introducing a flexible structure, so that the silicon-carbon negative electrode active material can be further prevented from being powdered; thirdly, the mussel biomimetic polymer has a catechol structure with wet adhesion resistance, and phenolic hydroxyl groups on the catechol structure can be in contact with silicon surfaces in the silicon-carbon negative electrode active material, so that the binding force is enhanced; finally, the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is subjected to high-temperature treatment, the surface of the silicon-carbon negative electrode material is hydrophobic, and the mussel biomimetic polymer also has strong hydrophobicity, so that the mussel biomimetic polymer is more compatible with the interface between the silicon-carbon negative electrode active materials, and the binding force between the silicon-carbon negative electrode active materials and the mussel biomimetic polymer can be further improved.

s1, providing an acrylic monomer, an acrylate soft monomer and a compound containing a dopamine structure;
s2, carrying out free radical polymerization reaction on an acrylic acid monomer and an acrylate soft monomer to generate a polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer;

wherein, the structural formula of the mussel biomimetic polymer is shown as the formula (I):
Figure BDA0002532688380000081
the structural formula of the polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer is shown as the formula (II):
Figure BDA0002532688380000082
wherein m is more than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 500, n is more than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 500, x is more than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 200, and m, n and x are integers.
According to the preparation method of the mussel bionic polymer, free radical polymerization reaction is carried out on an acrylic acid monomer and an acrylate soft monomer to obtain a polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer with a carboxyl and flexible structure, then copolymerization grafting reaction is carried out on the polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer and a compound containing a dopamine structure, a catechol structure is introduced into a branched chain of the polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer, contact points can be increased, the length and flexibility of the branched chain are lengthened, the glass transition temperature of the polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer is further reduced, and the fluidity and wettability of the obtained silicon-carbon negative electrode adhesive are improved. The preparation method of the mussel biomimetic polymer is simple and easy to implement, the reaction process is easy to control, and the large-scale production is favorably realized.
In S1, the acrylate soft monomer is selected as the raw material for synthesizing the mussel biomimetic polymer, so that a flexible structure can be provided for the obtained mussel biomimetic polymer, and the obtained mussel biomimetic polymer has high modulus and good flexibility, thereby preventing the silicon carbon negative electrode active material from being powdered. In some embodiments, the acrylate soft monomer is selected from at least one of butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, tert-butyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate and hydroxypropyl acrylate, and these compounds have lower glass transition temperatures, which can improve the flexibility of the obtained mussel biomimetic polymer and make it have better elongation at break under high stress.
The acrylic monomer can enable the obtained mussel biomimetic polymer to have carboxyl, so that the mussel biomimetic polymer reacts with silicon oxygen groups and silicon hydroxyl groups on the surface of the silicon-carbon negative active material to form hydrogen bonds and covalent ester bonds, and meanwhile, the formation of the covalent ester bonds also restrains and relieves the volume expansion of the silicon-carbon negative active material, and the electric contact between silicon and carbon can be kept in the lithiation/delithiation process.
The compound containing dopamine is used as a raw material for synthesizing the mussel biomimetic polymer, and can provide a catechol structure for the obtained mussel biomimetic polymer so as to enhance the binding force between the mussel biomimetic polymer and the silicon-carbon negative electrode active material. In some embodiments, the dopamine-containing compound is selected from dopamine and/or levodopa for amidation with an acrylic monomer starting material.
S2 is polyacrylic acid-acrylic ester copolymer produced by free radical polymerization of acrylic acid monomer and acrylic ester soft monomer. By optimizing the molar ratio between the two monomers, the glass transition temperature of the resulting polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer can be adjusted. In some embodiments, the molar ratio of acrylate soft monomer to acrylic acid monomer is controlled to be 0.35 to 2.76 to improve the flow and wetting properties of the resulting polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer.
In some embodiments, the chain initiation reaction is the slowest since the free radical polymerization reaction is the process of chain initiation, chain growth, chain termination. By adding the initiator, molecules with high activation energy can be formed, and the chain initiation reaction is accelerated. Among them, Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) is preferably used as an initiator for the free radical polymerization reaction of an acrylic monomer and an acrylic ester soft monomer, and has the advantages of stable decomposition reaction, generation of only one free radical and difficult induced decomposition. Correspondingly, as the decomposition temperature of the azobisisobutyronitrile, the temperature of the free radical polymerization reaction of the acrylic acid monomer and the acrylate soft monomer is adjusted to 50 ℃ to 70 ℃ (inclusive). Specifically, typical but not limiting reaction temperatures are 50 ℃, 55 ℃, 60 ℃, 65 ℃, 70 ℃.
And S3 is to perform copolymerization grafting reaction on the polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer obtained in S2 and a compound containing a dopamine structure so as to introduce a catechol structure into a polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer system, increase contact points and change the mechanical strength, elasticity and viscosity of the mussel biomimetic polymer. The glass transition temperature of the obtained mussel biomimetic polymer can be further adjusted by optimizing the molar ratio between the polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer and the compound containing a dopamine structure. In some embodiments, the molar ratio of polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer to dopamine structure-containing compound is controlled at (2-5):714, such that the resulting mussel biomimetic polymer has the correct flowability and wettability for use as a binder.
Since the above copolymerization grafting reaction causes amidation reaction between acrylic acid and the dopamine structure-containing compound, in some embodiments, the dopamine structure-containing compound is grafted to the polyacrylic acid-acrylate copolymer using 1-ethyl- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC · HCl) and 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) to obtain the mussel biomimetic polymer.

Taking example 2 as an example, the infrared spectra of the Dopa, the obtained P (BA-co-AA) and the obtained P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa used in example 2 are compared, and the detection method of the infrared spectra is as follows: paragon 1000 type infrared spectrometer (Perkin-Elmer company, USA), the polymer adopts solution coating method, the scanning range is 4000--1The results are shown in FIG. 2. As can be seen from fig. 2:

Experimental example 3
The molecular weights and distribution data of P (BA-co-AA) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) obtained in example 4 were analyzed by a Series 200 gel permeation chromatograph (Perkin-Elmer Co., U.S.A.) with a mobile phase of DMF containing 0.01mol/L lithium bromide, a sample solution concentration of 2mg/ml, a test temperature of 20 ℃ and a PS standard, and the results are shown in Table 4.
TABLE 4 molecular weights and distribution results of P (BA-co-AA) and polyacrylic acid obtained in example 4
Figure BDA0002532688380000181
As can be seen from table 4, the molecular weight of P (BA-co-AA) synthesized by us is closer to that of the conventional PAA (BA/AA ═ 0.47).
Experimental example 4
The sample size was about 5mg, as measured by a differential scanning calorimeter model Q2000 (TA Instruments, USA). Heating to 150 deg.C under nitrogen atmosphere (flow rate of 50ml/min) to eliminate heat history, scanning from 150 deg.C to-80 deg.C at 20 deg.C/min, holding for 3 min, and heating from-80 deg.C to 150 deg.C at 10 deg.C/min. In examples 1 to 5, the DSC curves and Tg values of P (BA-co-AA) obtained by radical copolymerization of butyl acrylate monomers and acrylic acid monomers in different molar ratios were analyzed, and the results are shown in FIG. 3 and Table 5.
TABLE 5 Tg values of P (BA-co-AA) obtained in examples 1-5
Figure BDA0002532688380000191
As can be seen from FIG. 3 and Table 5, as the acrylic acid content is increased, the crystallinity is gradually increased, and the glass transition temperature of the resulting P (BA-co-AA) polymer is also increased.
Experimental example 5
The sample size was about 5mg, as measured by a differential scanning calorimeter model Q2000 (TA Instruments, USA). Heating to 150 deg.C under nitrogen atmosphere (flow rate of 50ml/min) to eliminate heat history, scanning from 150 deg.C to-80 deg.C at 20 deg.C/min, holding for 3 min, and heating from-80 deg.C to 150 deg.C at 10 deg.C/min. In examples 1-5, the DSC curves and Tg values of P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa were obtained before and after copolymerization grafting of P (BA-co-AA) obtained by different molar ratios of butyl acrylate monomer to acrylic acid monomer, and the results are shown in FIG. 4 and Table 6.
TABLE 6 Tg values of P (BA-co-AA) obtained in examples 1-5 before and after the copolymerization grafting
Figure BDA0002532688380000192
As can be seen from FIG. 4 and Table 6, the Tg of the resulting P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa was reduced after the Dopa graft modification, probably because the graft modification of Dopa to the pendant group of P (BA-co-AA) results in longer pendant chain length, increased flexibility and thus smaller Tg, which is beneficial for increasing the fluidity and wettability when used as a binder.
Experimental example 6
Contact angle test (CA) analysis: the glass slide is cleaned by ethanol and acetone, 1 piece of the glass slide is respectively immersed in 5mg/mL ethanol solution of P (BA-co-AA) and P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa obtained in example 1 for 1h, and then the glass slide is placed under vacuum for 72h, so that the P (BA-co-AA) and the P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa are completely dissolved in the ethanol solution, and the effect is that the polymer contact angle is not allowed to block the needle head, and the test result is prevented from being influenced. The analysis was carried out using a contact angle measuring apparatus of the type OCA20 from DataPhysics, Germany, all measurements being carried out at room temperature. The static contact angle was measured by the solid-drop method using a drop volume of 4.0. mu.L and a flow rate of 1.00. mu.L/s. The contact angle values given herein are the average of three measurements, all within ± 4 ° of standard deviation. The results are shown in FIG. 5.
As can be seen from fig. 5, the commercially available polyacrylic acid has a contact angle of 8 ° due to its extreme hydrophilicity; the contact angle of P (BA-co-AA) obtained in example 1 was 83 DEG due to the hydrophobic group containing butyl acrylate; after grafting the dopamine, due to the hydrophilicity of the catechol group of the dopamine, the contact angle of the grafted P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa is 67 degrees.
Experimental example 7
180 ° peel force test: the pole pieces coated with the silicon-carbon negative electrode materials obtained in examples 6 to 10 and comparative example were rolled for later use (the compaction density was 1.55 g/cm)3) Then, a 3M tape (6.5N) having a width of about 25.4mm was applied to the plate and a 180 ℃ peel test was carried out on a tensile machine at a speed of 10 mm/min. The test results are shown in fig. 6.
As can be seen from FIG. 6, examples 6 to 10 using P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa as the binder for the silicon-carbon negative electrode had bonding strengths of 0.445N/cm, 0.56N/cm, 0.655N/cm, 0.815N/cm and 0.54N/cm, respectively. While the comparative example used PAA as the binder and had an adhesive strength of 0.36N/cm. It can be seen that the pole piece bonding strength using P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa is significantly higher than that of PAA because the commercial PAA bonding effect is mainly due to van der waals force and carboxyl group, but since the silicon carbon surface group content is limited and the polyacrylic acid is rigid as a whole, powdering still occurs when the volume expands to a certain extent; due to the existence of catechol groups, the P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa has a better bonding effect with a silicon-carbon negative electrode active material and a metal current collector; meanwhile, the existence of partial carboxyl improves the bonding performance of silicon oxygen carbon/silicon carbon and the bonding agent; on the other hand, as the silicon-carbon negative active material is subjected to high-temperature treatment, the surface of the silicon-carbon negative active material is hydrophobic, and the PAA is hydrophilic, the interface of the P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa with the contact angle of 67 degrees and the silicon-carbon negative active material is more affinity and higher in binding force.
Experimental example 8
The pole pieces obtained in the above example 9 and comparative exampleAfter vacuum drying at 150 ℃ for 2h, the electrode is cut into small disks with the diameter of 12mm, and assembled into a CR 2016 type lithium metal cathode, Celgard 2400 is a diaphragm, and the CR 2016 type button cell is assembled for research. The electrolyte contains 1mol L-1Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF)6) Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and Ethylene Carbonate (EC) (v: v ═ 1:1) binary solvents and 10 wt.% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additive (both battery grade purity, new aegium). The assembly process of all batteries was carried out in an Ar glove box (MB 10compact MBRAUN O)2The content of H is less than 0.5ppm2O content less than 0.5ppm), the results are shown in fig. 7 and 8.
In FIG. 7, (a) and (b) show photographs of the pole pieces obtained in comparative example and example 9, respectively, before recycling, and (c) and (d) show photographs of the pole pieces obtained in comparative example and example 9, respectively, after 100 cycles. The topographical evolution of the electrode surface during cycling can be seen in fig. 7. The micron silicon electrode using the PBA-PAA-g-Dopa binder maintains a flat surface and intact silicon particles in morphology even after 100 charge and discharge cycles, while the electrode using the PAA binder has a large number of cracks and severe pulverization of the micron silicon particles over the entire electrode surface. The occurrence of these cracks is a manifestation of a decrease in the stress release efficiency of the active material layer under a strong volume change and the reversible elasticity of the binder. The newly exposed surfaces in the cracks and the active material of the micro particles in the electrode are continuously pulverized to become smaller, and more electrolyte is consumed to form a new SEI film. The apparent change in thickness before and after electrode cycling is a combined result of silicon particle breakage, powdering, and repeated SEI film generation, ultimately leading to active species dispersion and loss of electrical contact. Gradual degradation of the electrode structure is the root cause of coulombic inefficiency, significant capacity fade, and ultimately cell failure. Thus, the comparative results shown in FIG. 7 demonstrate that the P (BA-co-AA) -g-Dopa binder obtained in the examples of the present invention is useful for alleviating the adverse effects caused by the volume effect of the silicon material during the circulation.
Fig. 8 is a graph showing cycle life of the battery prepared in example 9 and the battery prepared in comparative example. It can be seen from the figure that the capacity retention rates of the batteries prepared from PBA-PAA-g-Dopa and PAA are 98.06% and 95.18% respectively after 100 cycles, and the capacity fading curve of the battery prepared from example 9 is more gentle.
It can be seen from the above examples, comparative examples and experimental examples that the mussel biomimetic polymer of the invention obtains a polyacrylic acid-acrylic ester copolymer with a carboxyl and flexible structure by performing a free radical polymerization reaction on an acrylic acid monomer and an acrylic ester soft monomer, and then performs a copolymerization grafting reaction on the polyacrylic acid-acrylic ester copolymer and a compound containing a dopamine structure, so as to introduce a catechol structure into a branched chain of the polyacrylic acid-acrylic ester copolymer, reduce the glass transition temperature of the polyacrylic acid-acrylic ester copolymer, and improve the fluidity and wettability of the obtained silicon carbon negative electrode binder. When the mussel bionic polymer is used for preparing the silicon-carbon negative electrode binder, the mussel bionic polymer has strong binding property with a silicon-carbon negative electrode active material and a metal current collector, and can relieve volume expansion of the silicon-carbon negative electrode active material and prevent the silicon-carbon negative electrode active material from being powdered.
