Description

Additive for battery and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of battery materials, and particularly relates to an additive for a battery, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
In order to meet the demand of future electromotion, especially the further development of mobile phone, computer, electric automobile industry and circulating energy system, the performance improvement of the lithium ion battery also faces a huge challenge. At present, the market not only has an increasing demand for lithium ion batteries, but also gradually increases the performance requirements of the lithium ion batteries, including the increase of battery capacity, the increase of energy density, the extension of cycle life, the shortening of charging time, and the like.
The common lithium ion battery is formed by assembling a positive plate, a negative plate, a diaphragm and electrolyte, and the quality of the plate directly influences the comprehensive performance of the lithium ion battery. At present, pole pieces of commercial lithium ion batteries are generally prepared by a wet process, namely, slurry is coated on the surface of a current collector and dried to form the pole pieces, wherein the slurry contains active substances, conductive additives, binders and the like, and the binders are divided into water-based binders and oil-based binders according to different solubilities. In order to obtain a lithium ion battery with better performance, one of effective methods is to adopt a battery pole piece with larger thickness, for example, CN110061222A discloses a preparation method and application of lithium battery slurry, a conductive agent is respectively added into glue solution and active material in batches to obtain conductive slurry and premix, the conductive slurry is added into the premix for kneading and vacuum defoaming to obtain the battery slurry; the battery slurry is used for preparing positive and negative pole pieces, particularly thick pole pieces, and has long service life and higher multiplying power charge-discharge performance. Besides preparing thick pole pieces, the methods for improving the properties of the pole pieces adopted in the industry also comprise the steps of increasing the proportion of active substances in slurry, increasing the compactness of the pole pieces and the like, so that the capacity and the energy density of the lithium ion battery are increased. However, the pole piece with high energy density usually has the problem of poor wettability, so that the electrolyte is difficult to wet, the ion transmission is hindered, a lithium metal precipitation phenomenon is generated after the pole piece is used, and the cycle performance, the rate capability and the safety of the battery are seriously reduced.
In order to improve the wettability and the liquid retention performance of the pole piece, researchers propose a method for adding a liquid retention agent into slurry, for example, CN113571673A discloses a preparation method of a negative pole piece, which specifically comprises the following steps: dry-mixing the negative active material, the carbon black and the suspending agent, adding the binder, the liquid retention agent and the solvent, and uniformly mixing and stirring to prepare negative slurry; and coating the negative electrode slurry on a copper foil, and drying to obtain a negative electrode plate with the thickness of more than 200 mu m. The liquid retention agent in the negative electrode slurry is one of polyoxyethylene, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylate and polystyrene, and compared with a common electrode plate, the addition of the liquid retention agent can improve the wettability and the liquid retention property to a certain extent, but the effect is limited, and the problem of the cycle performance of the electrode plate and a battery cannot be well solved.
The influence of the battery pole piece on the performance of the lithium ion battery is also reflected in the manufacturing process. In the production process of the lithium ion battery, one process is to inject electrolyte into the battery. The liquid injection process is an important process in the production of the lithium ion battery, and the consistency and the production efficiency of the lithium ion battery are directly determined by the precision of the liquid injection amount and the liquid injection efficiency. At present, the wettability of a pole piece is poor, the liquid absorption efficiency is low due to factors such as winding, lamination and extrusion, liquid injection needs a long time, the situation of uneven liquid absorption is easy to occur, and the production efficiency and the yield of a battery are seriously influenced. Meanwhile, the electrolyte consumption speed in the battery circulation process is high due to the limited liquid retention capacity of the pole piece, so that the battery has poor circulation performance.
Therefore, the improvement of the wettability of the pole piece and the liquid absorption and retention capacity of the pole piece is a research focus in the field.

Figure BDA0003847253010000141
In table 2, "not added" in the last row is the test data of comparative application example 3, in which the negative electrode sheet does not use the battery additive, "-" represents the test data without particle size, specific surface area and swelling ratio.
As can be seen from the performance test data in Table 2, the secondary particles formed by aggregation of the additives for batteries as the primary latex particles provided by the present invention have a suitable particle size and a large specific surface area, and the particle size distribution of the secondary particles described in examples 1 to 6 is 1.1 to 47.4 μm and the specific surface area is 16.7 to 84.6m by adjusting and optimizing the spray drying process 2 Has good swelling performance and good affinity to electrolyte, and the swelling ratio is 200-9500%. The negative pole piece containing the additive for the battery has good infiltration consistency on electrolyte, excellent imbibition performance and imbibition time of 5-20s, and compared with the common negative pole piece without the additive (compared with application example 3), the imbibition time is shortened by more than 42%, so that the time of a battery liquid injection process is shortened, and the capacity is improved. Meanwhile, the additive for the battery has a large amount of gap storage electrolyte, can improve the liquid retention capacity of a pole piece, enhances the lithium ion conduction, enables the capacity retention rate of the lithium ion battery after being cycled for 100 weeks at normal temperature to be 98.0-99.5%, and obviously improves the cycle performance of the battery. Meanwhile, the aggregation structure, the appearance, the specific surface area and the property of the secondary particles can be adjusted and optimized by setting the particle size of the primary particles of the latex and adjusting the technological parameters of spray drying, so that the wettability of the pole piece, the liquid absorption performance and the liquid retention capacity of the pole piece can be more effectively improved by the additive for the battery; if the particle size of the latex primary particles exceeds the preferable range of the invention (examples 7-8), the specific surface area of the secondary particles is affected, and the performance of the pole piece and the lithium ion battery is further affected; if the technological parameters of spray drying are beyond the preferable range of the invention (examples 9-12), the morphology, specific surface area and particle size of the secondary particles are affected, and the improvement effect of the battery additive on the liquid absorption and liquid retention of the pole piece is poor.
According to the invention, by preparing the secondary particles with specific morphology, the battery additive can remarkably improve the wettability, the liquid absorption property and the liquid retention capacity of the pole piece, and the improvement effect on the performances of the pole piece and the lithium ion battery is far higher than that of a common latex primary particle (comparative example 1) and a conventional polymer liquid retention additive (comparative example 2).
The applicant states that the present invention is illustrated by the above examples to the additive for battery and the preparation method and application thereof, but the present invention is not limited to the above process steps, i.e. it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above process steps to be carried out. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that any modification of the present invention, equivalent substitutions of selected materials and additions of auxiliary components, selection of specific modes and the like, which are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention, are contemplated by the present invention.
