Description

Electrode, preparation method thereof and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and particularly relates to a composition, an electrode, a preparation method of the electrode and a lithium ion battery.
Background
Lithium ion batteries are widely used due to their high energy density, long cycle, and high stability. With the wide application of electronic products and the vigorous development of electric automobiles, the market of lithium ion batteries is increasingly wide, but higher requirements on the safety of the lithium ion batteries are provided.
The state puts higher requirements on the runaway of the lithium ion battery in a mandatory standard GB38031-2020 (5-minute escape time when failure occurs) on the battery. Therefore, the fundamental factor of the safety of the unit, which is high energy, is also the most important factor.
As is known, the lithium ion battery is more likely to cause potential safety hazards when used under conditions of high rate, high and low temperature, excessive amount of corresponding cathode active material, and the like. When lithium is excessively inserted into an electrode using metal lithium, graphite and the like as a matrix of the lithium ion battery or the lithium insertion speed is too low, lithium ions are separated out from the surface of the electrode, and the lithium dendrite is generally sharp and irreversible and easily pierces a diaphragm to cause instant energy release so as to cause safety accidents.
During the process of coating the lithium ion electrode, the electrode may be in an uneven state, and factors such as excessive positive electrode and insufficient negative electrode coating recess are very likely to cause lithium precipitation. When a general battery core fails in use, the battery is not abnormal wholly, but is often caused by local abnormality of the battery core, namely short circuit caused by penetration of a membrane by lithium dendrite or impurity burrs and the like. Generally, the closed pores of the diaphragm are relied on to isolate the positive electrode and the negative electrode, but once thermal runaway occurs, heat is gathered and rises, and even the heat rises to the melting and shrinking temperature of the diaphragm, and the holes of the diaphragm are broken to aggravate the runaway of the battery.
Although it is reported that a protective layer is formed on the surface of an electrode in order to improve the safety of a battery, the conventional protective layer only functions as an insulator, but the protective layer is softened and fails by heat when thermal runaway is encountered. Therefore, how to effectively reduce the local failure of the battery or prolong the thermal runaway time or completely prevent the thermal runaway from occurring is a technical problem which is continuously tried to solve in the field.

The terms "comprises" or "comprising" are intended to specify the presence of stated features, quantities, steps, operations, elements, portions, or combinations thereof, but are not intended to preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, quantities, steps, operations, elements, portions, or combinations thereof.
In one aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a composition. The composition includes a first resin and a second resin and a heat resistant skeletal material for a film skeletal.
Wherein the first resin and the second resin contained in the composition are crosslinked in a thermal environment, that is, at a temperature that triggers the crosslinking reaction of the first resin and the second resin, the crosslinking reaction of the first resin and the second resin can occur. The heat-resistant framework material contained in the composition plays a role of a film-forming framework and has excellent high-temperature resistance. Therefore, when the temperature of the component formed from the composition, such as the film layer, is lower than or equal to the temperature at which the crosslinking of the first resin and the second resin is triggered, the original state of the component, such as the film layer, can be ensured, and the components are uniformly dispersed. When a member formed from the composition, such as a film layer, is at a temperature that triggers crosslinking of the first and second resins, the first and second resins are capable of migrating and aggregating in a thermal environment and undergoing an imploding crosslinking reaction to form a polymeric material that is tough, dense, and insulating, and has high temperature resistance. When the relevant component such as the film layer is formed, the component such as the film layer is endowed with good mechanical properties.
In one embodiment, the heat-resistant framework material contained in the composition comprises at least one of Polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The heat-resistant framework materials have excellent high-temperature stability and play a framework role, if the heat-resistant framework materials are PI, the heat-resistant framework materials can resist high temperature of more than or equal to 260 ℃, and even the high-temperature modified PI can resist high temperature of 350 ℃. In a specific embodiment, the high temperature modified PI may be an existing high temperature resistant modified PI. When a component formed by the composition, such as a film layer, triggers the crosslinking temperature of the first resin and the second resin, the first resin and the second resin can be crosslinked in the component, the heat-resistant framework material forms the framework effect of the component and gives the component excellent high-temperature resistance, and the resin plays a role in synergy with the first resin and the second resin crosslinking polymer and gives the component excellent mechanical properties such as toughness and the like, and is dense in insulation.
In one embodiment, the first resin contained in the composition comprises at least one of a thermoplastic modified acrylic resin, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). In another embodiment, the second resin comprises at least one of vinyl acetate, polytetrafluoroethylene. The preferred first and second resins are capable of flowing and aggregating in a thermal environment, such as an environment that triggers a cross-linking reaction between the two, and undergo a cross-linking reaction under exposure to heat, to form a tough, dense, and high temperature resistant polymeric material with a heat resistant backbone material. The crosslinking reaction may occur between the first resins and between the second resins, and may occur between the first resins and the second resins. In addition, the second resin, particularly preferably the second resin of the above-mentioned composition, can also function as a binder and a dispersant, can impart good film layer and dispersion stability to the composition, can improve the film forming property of the composition to be formed, and can improve the film layer quality such as uniformity of the film layer.
In a further embodiment, the composition further comprises a thermistor material. Preferably, the mass ratio of the thermistor material to the heat-resistant framework material is controlled to be (0.1-10): (50-70). In a specific embodiment, the thermistor material comprises a PTC, and the PTC is selected from PTC containing barium titanate doped with a small amount of niobium, manganese, cerium, iridium, and the like. The thermistor material is added into the composition, and the content and the type of the thermistor material are optimized, so that the composition has certain conductivity and reduces the resistance when the temperature of the composition is lower than the crosslinking temperature, and when the composition is in a thermal environment, the thermistor material exerts the insulating property and improves the insulating and insulating properties of high polymer materials formed by polymerization crosslinking, thereby improving the insulating and insulating protective effects of components formed by the composition, such as a film layer.
In a further embodiment, the composition further comprises an insulating inorganic additive, and the mass ratio of the insulating inorganic additive to the heat-resistant framework material is preferably controlled to be (0.1-5): (50-70). In a particular embodiment, the insulating inorganic additive comprises an insulating metal oxide. Wherein, the insulating metal oxide can be at least one of aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, cesium oxide and titanium dioxide. The insulating inorganic additive is added into the composition, and the content and the type of the insulating inorganic additive are optimized, so that the composition has good wettability on the electrolyte at the temperature lower than the crosslinking temperature; when in the environment of temperature for triggering the cross-linking reaction of the first resin and the second resin, the insulating inorganic additive exerts the characteristics of the insulating inorganic substance, and improves the high-temperature resistance and the insulating property of the high-molecular material formed by cross-linking, thereby improving the protective effects of components formed by the composition, such as the insulation and the insulation of a film layer.
In addition, the composition can be prepared by mixing the components in proportion according to the components contained therein to form a uniform mixture in a dispersion system. Before use, it should be ensured that the composition is at a temperature below the temperature at which the first resin and the second resin contained therein crosslink. The composition may be formulated into a slurry or the like to form each member, such as a film layer, according to the requirements of the application, when required by the application. If the film layer is required to have toughness, compactness, insulation, high temperature resistance and other performances finally, the component is subjected to heat treatment to trigger the first resin and the second resin to perform a crosslinking reaction, so that the corresponding component such as the film layer is endowed with excellent toughness, compactness, insulation, high temperature resistance and other performances.
In another aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electrode. The electrode has a structure as shown in fig. 1 and 2, and includes a current collector 1 having two oppositely disposed surfaces, at least one of which has an electrode active layer 2 formed thereon. Specifically, an electrode active layer 2 may be formed on one of two oppositely disposed surfaces of the current collector 1, and at this time, a protective film layer 3 is further bonded to an outer surface of the electrode active layer 2, that is, a surface facing away from the current collector, as shown in fig. 1 (a).
Of course, the electrode active layers 2 may be formed on both surfaces of the current collector 1 facing each other, as shown in fig. 1, in which case the protective film 3 is further bonded to the outer surface of one of the electrode active layers 2 or the protective films 3 are further bonded to the outer surfaces of the two electrode active layers 2, respectively. A structure in which the protective film layers 3 are further bonded to the outer surfaces of the two electrode active layers 2, respectively, is also preferred in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 (b).
Regardless of the electrode structure shown in fig. 1(a) or fig. 1(b), the protective film 3 is provided with a plurality of through holes 31 for passing the electrolyte to the electrode active layer 2, and the material of the protective film 3 is the composition described above.
Thus, since the protective film layer 3 is provided with the plurality of through holes 31, after the electrode contacts the electrolyte, the electrolyte can directly reach the electrode active layer 2 through the through holes 31, so that the infiltration of the electrolyte and the migration, insertion and extraction of lithium ions are not influenced in the charging and discharging processes, preferably, the protective film layer 3 preferably contains a thermistor material and/or an insulating inorganic additive, and before the protective film layer 3 undergoes a cross-linking reaction, namely when the electrode is locally thermally failed, the protective film layer 3 also has excellent electrolyte infiltration and certain conductivity.
When the electrode has local thermal failure in the charging and discharging process, or the closed pore of the diaphragm still can not prevent thermal runaway to cause the melting and the hole breaking of the diaphragm, because the first resin and the second resin contained in the material of the protective film layer 3 are sensitive to the temperature, when the local thermal failure temperature of the electrode reaches the cross-linking temperature of the composition, if the local thermal failure temperature reaches 80 ℃, the first resin and the second resin can migrate and gather at the abnormal surface of the electrode due to the reason that the heat increases the fluidity, so that the imploding cross-linking reaction occurs, and the cross-linking is irreversible to form a tough, compact, insulating and high-temperature resistant polymer protective layer which covers and tightly clings to the abnormal surface of the electrode to play a role in isolation, and play a decisive thermal runaway closing protection, namely equal to the isolation of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the positive electrode and the electrolyte, and the negative electrode and the electrolyte, the suppression of local thermal runaway is realized, the local thermal runaway is prevented from spreading the whole electrode or battery, so that more escape time is strived for, and the safety of the battery meets the escape requirement of 5min after national mandatory national standard for lithium ion battery safety warning. Preferably, when the protective film layer 3 preferably contains a thermistor material and/or an insulating inorganic additive, the high-molecular protective layer formed after the crosslinking reaction has more excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, insulating property and the like, and has a better insulating and protecting effect.
Empirical research shows that the local abnormal thermal runaway of the electrode generally results from the fact that a broken hole is formed in the diaphragm and the diaphragm cannot be recovered due to the instant discharge pulverization of the tip electron aggregation such as lithium dendrite/metal impurities and the like at the interface of the electrode and the diaphragm. Once the current is slightly large (micro short circuit exists at the broken hole), the diaphragm can be continuously torn and melted along the broken hole, and the short circuit transient thermal runaway of a larger surface is caused to cause safety accidents. In one embodiment, the electrode active layer 2 of the electrode, such as the positive and negative electrodes, has a protrusion with a large local coating amount as shown in fig. 3, or a recess with a local deficiency as shown in fig. 3, which results in an uneven surface of the electrode active layer 2, so that excessive lithium ions are not properly inserted into the electrode during the charging and discharging process and are precipitated in the state of metallic lithium, i.e., lithium dendrites 21 are precipitated on the surface of the electrode active layer 2, especially in the area with a large local coating amount, thereby easily causing the lithium precipitation phenomenon as shown in fig. 4. When abnormal thermal runaway occurs locally on the electrode, such as in the recessed area of the electrode active layer 2 or in the raised area or area in fig. 3, due to the increase of temperature, the first resin and the second resin in the protective film layer 3 are triggered to migrate and gather in the recessed or raised area and perform a crosslinking reaction in the film skeleton constructed by the heat-resistant skeleton material, so that the polymer protective layer is constructed together with the heat-resistant skeleton material, and the polymer protective layer is endowed with excellent toughness, compactness and insulation and has high temperature resistance. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, a polymer protective layer 3' is formed in the abnormal thermal runaway region of the electrode active layer 2.
In one embodiment, the aperture of the through hole contained in the protective film layer 3 in each of the above embodiments is 0.1 to 5 mm. In another embodiment, the distribution density of the through holes in the protective film layer is 100-3000/cm2. In another embodiment, the thickness of the protective film layer 3 is 0.01 to 10 μm. By controlling and optimizing the aperture of the through holes 31 and the distribution density of the through holes 31 contained in the protective film layer 3, the protective film layerThe protective film layer 3 is effectively combined on the surface of the electrode active layer 2 in the normal work of the electrode, and simultaneously, the infiltration of electrolyte and the insertion and extraction of lithium ions are not influenced, so that the electrochemical performance of the electrode is not adversely influenced; when the electrode is out of control by heat, the toughness, compactness, insulation and high temperature resistance of the macromolecular protective layer 3' formed by crosslinking can be improved, and the isolation protection effect of the macromolecular protective layer is improved. In addition, the protective film layer 3 may cover the whole surface of the electrode active layer 2, or may partially cover the surface of the electrode active layer 2, for example, in an embodiment, the area of the protective film layer 3 covering the surface of the electrode active layer 2 is 40% to 70% of the surface of the electrode active layer 2.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the electrode active layer 2 included in the electrode in each of the above embodiments, the material of the electrode active layer 2 may be a conventional electrode active layer material, such as including the electrode active material 22 and the conductive agent 23, and may also include a binder or other additives.
Among them, the electrode active material 22 may be provided with a corresponding electrode active material according to the properties of the electrode such as a positive electrode or a negative electrode. When the electrode is an anode, the electrode active layer 2 is an anode active material layer, and then the electrode active material 22 is an anode active material. As in one embodiment, the negative active material is preferably at least one of graphite, hard carbon, soft carbon, silicon oxide, and nano silicon (the mass fraction of the negative active material in the electrode active layer 2 is 85%). In this case, the binder contained in the electrode active layer 2 is preferably at least one of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, styrene-butadiene rubber, phenylacetic acid, terpene resin, and tragacanth gum (mass fraction of the binder in the electrode active layer 2: 0.3 to 10%).
When the electrode is a positive electrode, the electrode active layer 2 is a positive electrode active material layer, and then the electrode active material 22 is a positive electrode active material. As in one embodiment, the positive electrode active material is preferably at least one of lithium cobaltate, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel manganese oxide, lithium iron phosphate, and lithium nickel cobalt aluminate (the mass fraction of the positive electrode active material in the electrode active layer 2 is equal to or greater than 85%). In this case, the binder contained in the electrode active layer 2 is preferably at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride, acrylic resin, and polytetrafluoroethylene (mass fraction of the binder in the electrode active layer 2: 0.3 to 5%). The other functional additive contained in the electrode active layer 2 may be at least one of alumina, zinc oxide, and cesium oxide (mass fraction of the other functional additive in the electrode active layer 2: 0.1 to 1.5%).
The conductive agent 23 contained in the electrode active layer 2 is preferably at least one of carbon black, conductive graphite, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, and graphene (the mass fraction of the conductive agent 23 in the electrode active layer 2 is 0.01 to 8%).
Also, the current collector 1 may select a corresponding current collector material according to the properties of the electrode, such as a positive electrode or a negative electrode.
Therefore, the electrode in each of the above embodiments may be either a positive electrode or a negative electrode. Therefore, the negative electrode or/and the positive electrode of the battery can be set as the electrode containing the protective film layer 3, so that the safety of the battery is improved, and the safety requirement of the national standard on the lithium ion battery is met.
Correspondingly, the embodiment of the invention also provides a preparation method of the electrode. Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the method for manufacturing the electrode includes the steps of:
s01: providing an electrode body, wherein the electrode body comprises a current collector 1, the current collector 1 is provided with two oppositely-arranged surfaces, and an electrode active layer 2 is formed on at least one surface of the two surfaces;
s02: preparing resin slurry, wherein the resin slurry comprises a first resin, a second resin and a heat-resistant framework material for a film-layer framework, and the first resin and the second resin are crosslinked in a thermal environment;
s03: the protective film layer 3 is formed by film-forming the resin slurry on the outer surface of one electrode active layer 2 or by film-forming the resin slurry on the outer surfaces of the two electrode active layers 2.
The current collector 1, the electrode active layer 2 and the protective film 3 in step S03 in step S01 are all as the current collector 1, the electrode active layer 2 and the protective film 3 included in the electrode in the embodiment of the present invention, and for the sake of brevity, the structures, materials and the like of the current collector 1, the electrode active layer 2 and the protective film 3 are not described again.
The resin paste in step S02 is a paste of the composition of the embodiment of the present invention, that is, a film-forming paste prepared by mixing the composition of the embodiment of the present invention with a solvent is used to form the protective film layer 3 on the outer surface of the electrode active layer 2. Therefore, the first resin, the second resin and the heat-resistant skeleton material for the film layer skeleton contained in the resin slurry in the step S02 are the same as those contained in the composition of the embodiment of the invention and the heat-resistant skeleton material for the film layer skeleton, and the first resin, the second resin and the heat-resistant skeleton material for the film layer skeleton will not be described herein again for the sake of brevity. Further, the resin paste in step S02 may further contain a thermistor material and/or an insulating inorganic additive contained in the composition of the embodiment of the invention described above.
The film formation processing method in step S03 is to form the resin slurry prepared in step S02 on the surface of the electrode active layer 2, and therefore any method capable of forming a film of the resin slurry on the surface of the electrode active layer 2 is within the scope of the disclosure of the embodiments of the present invention, such as but not limited to casting, printing, and the like. The temperature during film formation should, of course, be below the temperature at which crosslinking of the first and second resins is triggered. The protective film 3 formed by the film formation process may have other patterns than the two patterns shown in fig. 2.
In this way, the electrode manufacturing method forms the protective film layer 3 directly on the outer surface of the electrode active layer 2 included in the conventional electrode body. Since the protective film layer 3 contains the heat-resistant skeleton material, the first resin, and the second resin, the electrode obtained is a highly safe electrode according to the embodiment of the present invention. The electrode preparation method is simple in process steps, controllable in conditions, capable of effectively guaranteeing stability of the prepared electrode and high in production efficiency.
