Characterization of the test
The screens of examples 1 to 17 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were loaded into a vibrating sifter, and the magnetic 20t ternary positive electrode material (LiNi) was quantitatively sifted and removed0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O). And (3) measuring the magnetic foreign matter index of the material by adopting a chemical weight adsorption method after the 20t ternary cathode material is sieved, counting the weight of oversize materials, cutting the screen after the screen is disassembled, and analyzing the aperture size retention rate and the appearance size of the screen by using an electron microscope. The test results are shown in table 1 below.
TABLE 1
From examples 1 to 17, it can be seen that the coating composition provided by the invention is sprayed on the surface of a stainless steel screen mesh, so that the content of magnetic foreign matters in a screened ternary positive electrode material can be reduced, the content of the magnetic foreign matters is controlled to be below 30/ppb, and the product cycle stability is improved.
The conventional screen cloth is used for quantitatively sieving the ternary cathode material for 20t, the content of the magnetic foreign matters in the sieved ternary cathode material is high, the content of the magnetic foreign matters is gradually increased along with the increase of the sieving times, meanwhile, part of screen wires are deformed, and the width of the screen wires is reduced to 3-5 mu m.
The coating composition of comparative example 2, since it does not contain SiO2After the obtained screen quantitatively sieves 20t of the ternary cathode material, more oversize materials are obtained, the content of magnetic foreign matters is higher after sieving, the aperture retention rate of the screen is smaller, and the screen wire is deformed and reduced in width because the coating component does not contain SiO2The surface texture of the mesh coating is rough, not hard and smooth, so that oversize materials are easy to deposit and cannot effectively isolate the erosion of the ternary positive electrode material (alkaline) of the lithium battery to the mesh, the content of magnetic foreign matters after sieving is high, the pore diameter of the material is extruded, and the mesh is deformed.
Comparative example 3 coating composition without LiAlO2When the original 316L metal mesh is sieved, the mesh is directly rubbed with a positive electrode material, and more Ni and Cr strong magnetic metal elements in the original mesh are mixed in the material, so that the foreign matter content of the material is higher, the mesh is easy to deform, the width is reduced, and the aperture retention rate of the screen is reduced.
The coating component contains MgO, so that the porosity of the coating surface after spraying can be reduced, the coating is attached to the screen wires more uniformly, the coating does not contain MgO in comparative example 4, the thickness of the coating of the screen wire after spraying can become non-uniform, part of the coating has pores, and the thinner part of the coating surface is easily abraded by friction with a positive material during sieving, so that the protective effect of the coating is lost, the screen wires are further eroded, the friction extrusion deformation of the screen wires is caused, and the width of the screen wires is reduced.
