Abstract
The invention provides a positive pole piece, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery.

TABLE 1
TABLE 2
From the above description, it can be seen that the above-described embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
it can be seen from comparison of examples 1 to 3 and comparative example 1 that the modified polyvinylidene fluoride described above is obtained by introducing a strongly polar or strongly electronegative group into polyvinylidene fluoride. The introduction of the modified polyvinylidene fluoride in the positive binder layer can exert the binding performance of the positive binder on one hand, so that the positive active substance is tightly bound on the surface of the positive current collector; on the other hand, N in a group of a specific kind2-And O2-Can capture dissolved transition metal ions, further inhibit the deposition of transition metal, and further improve the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery. The modified polyvinylidene fluoride can capture dissolved transition metal ions and inhibit the transition metal from being directly deposited on the surface of the anode material to block an ion transmission channel, so that the electrochemical performance of the lithium ion battery is improved; meanwhile, the migration of the lithium ion battery anode can be inhibited to the surface of the cathode, the formation of dendrite is inhibited, and the penetration of a diaphragm is inhibited, so that the service life of the lithium ion battery is prolonged.
As can be seen from comparison between example 1 and comparative example 2, limiting the values of x, y, and n in the structural unit to the above ranges respectively enables formation of a plurality of smaller crystal structures after spontaneous crystallization of modified polyvinylidene fluoride, as compared to other ranges, and improves the swelling resistance of modified polyvinylidene fluoride; meanwhile, compared with the traditional polyvinylidene fluoride, the introduction of the groups can break up large particles formed by crystallization to form gaps in the molecular structure of the polyvinylidene fluoride, so that the increase of transmission impedance is effectively inhibited, and the electrochemical performance, the cycle performance and the safety performance of the lithium ion battery are improved.
As can be seen from comparison of examples 1 and 4 to 6, the weight ratio of the total weight of the positive electrode active layer to the positive electrode binder includes, but is not limited to, the preferred range of the present application, and limiting the weight ratio to the preferred range of the present application is advantageous for suppressing elution of transition metal ions in the positive electrode active material, thereby reducing the sheet resistance and improving the electrochemical performance and cycle performance of the lithium ion battery.
As can be seen from comparison of examples 1, 7 and 8, the weight ratio of the total weight of the positive electrode active layer to the positive electrode binder includes, but is not limited to, the more preferable range of the present application, and limiting the weight ratio to the more preferable range of the present application is advantageous for further exhibiting the binding performance of the positive electrode binder, and for further suppressing the deposition of the transition metal, and further for further improving the electrochemical performance and the service life of the lithium ion battery.
As can be seen from comparison of examples 1, 9 and 10, the weight ratio of the total weight of the positive electrode active layer to the positive electrode binder includes, but is not limited to, the more preferable range of the present application, and it is limited to the more preferable range of the present application, which is advantageous for further exhibiting the binding property of the positive electrode binder while further suppressing the deposition of the transition metal.
It is understood from comparison of examples 1, 11 and 12 that the higher the content of Co in the nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary positive electrode material, the less the transition metal is eluted, because the cobalt element can maintain the layered structure of the positive electrode active material well and stabilize the structure.
In conclusion, the positive pole piece provided by the application can effectively inhibit the problem of dissolution of transition metal of the positive pole material, and remarkably improves the high-temperature cycle performance and service life of the lithium ion battery.
