The component A of the invention is a main binder, and the component B is a flexible agent, and can be added in two ways when the component A is used for preparing the positive electrode slurry of the lithium ion battery: 1. after the component A, the conductive agent and the positive electrode active material are fully dispersed and mixed, adding a solvent NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone), adjusting the fluidity, adding a flexible agent component which is dissolved into glue solution by NMP, stirring, and adjusting the proper viscosity by NMP, thus being capable of being coated on the positive electrode plate. 2. Firstly dissolving the component A into glue solution by using NMP, then adding a conductive agent and a positive electrode active substance, adding proper NMP according to the requirement, fully dispersing, adding a flexible agent component which is dissolved into glue solution by using NMP, stirring, and adjusting proper viscosity by using NMP, thus being capable of being coated on a positive electrode plate.
The conductive agent is conductive material used in conventional lithium ion battery systems such as conductive carbon black, graphene, conductive carbon tube CNT and the like; the active substance can be one or a mixture of a plurality of lithium cobaltate, nickel cobalt lithium manganate ternary material, lithium manganate, lithium iron phosphate and lithium manganese iron phosphate.
The adhesive main body is made of two-component materials, wherein the component A serving as a main adhesive plays a main role in stabilizing slurry in positive electrode slurry and plays a main role in bonding in a pole piece; the component B serving as the flexible agent plays an auxiliary role in stabilizing slurry in the positive electrode slurry, and mainly improves the flexibility of the pole piece in the pole piece and has an auxiliary binding effect. The component A and the component B synergistically form the oily fluorine-free adhesive. The modified polyvinyl chloride positive electrode slurry is used in positive electrode slurry of a lithium ion battery, has the advantages of small binder dosage (only 40-60% of PVDF HSV900 dosage is needed to be added), stable slurry, difficult water absorption and jelly formation or sedimentation, and good flexibility and low battery impedance after being used in a pole piece. The preparation process is environment-friendly, and has great value in popularization and application. To date, oily fluorine-free adhesives have not been disclosed.
