Description

Battery cathode and electrochemical device comprising same
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of batteries, and in particular, to a battery anode and an electrochemical device including the same.
Background
In recent years, with rapid progress of industrial technologies, various portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebooks, wearable devices, and the like have emerged; meanwhile, due to the increasing concern of human beings on the storage environment, electric vehicles and various energy storage power stations also enter a rapid development period. These rapidly growing industries all require high performance rechargeable batteries as energy storage devices.
In the existing various energy storage technologies, lithium ion batteries are widely popularized and used due to the advantages of excellent energy density, long cycle service life, low self-discharge, no memory effect and the like.
In the prior art, a lithium ion battery generally comprises a positive electrode and a negative electrode coated with positive and negative electrode active materials, an electronically insulated porous diaphragm arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an organic electrolyte filled in pores of the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the diaphragm. In the manufacturing process of the lithium ion battery, an anode, a diaphragm and a cathode sequentially form an electrode assembly in a winding or laminating mode, then the electrode assembly is placed in a battery cell shell, an organic electrolyte is injected into the battery cell shell, then the battery cell is sealed, and the lithium ion battery is formed after charging.
For such a lithium ion battery, the positive and negative electrode active materials are each composed of a material having lithium ion intercalation and deintercalation ability. Common positive active materials include Lithium Cobaltate (LCO), lithium Manganate (LMO), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), and ternary materials (NCM); common negative active materials include graphite, silicon-based materials such as SiOx, silicon carbon composites, and Lithium Titanate (LTO).
Because the graphite negative electrode and the silicon-based material negative electrode have extremely low lithium intercalation potential and higher theoretical specific capacity (graphite 375mAh/g and silicon 4200 mAh/g), the lithium ion battery with the graphite negative electrode or the silicon-based material negative electrode has higher voltage, capacitance and energy density, thereby being commercially used in a large range.
However, when graphite or a silicon-based material is used as the negative electrode, lithium is easily separated and metallic lithium dendrites are generated due to a very low intercalation potential of lithium ions in the negative electrode (3.05V compared to a standard hydrogen electrode) and a very high activity of metallic lithium, and the metallic lithium dendrites penetrate through the separator to form a short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, thereby causing a great safety hazard.
In order to avoid the above-mentioned risk of lithium deposition, various measures are required in the prior art, such as configuring the negative electrode to have a width and a length in the width and length directions larger than those of the positive electrode, the alignment between the positive electrode and the negative electrode must be precisely secured, the capacity per unit area of the negative electrode must be larger than that of the positive electrode, the positive electrode active coating region must never face the negative electrode photo-foil region, and the like.
Meanwhile, the lithium ion battery in the prior art is generally formed by coating slurry on two sides of a current collector foil by using a precision extrusion coater, drying and rolling. Therefore, the areal density of the coating in the edge region is not easily controlled, and depending on the slurry properties, there may be cases where the areal density of the coating in the edge region is higher or lower than in the middle portion. In order to avoid the risk of lithium precipitation, the electrode plate needs to be used after the edge of the electrode plate is cut off, so that huge waste is generated.
In view of the above problems in the prior art, there is a need in the art to develop a new negative electrode or lithium ion battery to solve the above problems.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a battery anode including an anode current collector and anode active coatings coated on both sides of the anode current collector, characterized in that the anode active coatings include a first anode active coating disposed on a main region of the anode current collector and a second anode active coating disposed on an edge region of the main region, wherein the first anode active coating has a different lithium intercalation potential from the second anode active coating.

In the context of the present invention, an "edge region" of a body region refers to a region near an edge of the body region in the length direction and/or an edge in the width direction.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second anode active coating is directly coated on both sides of the anode current collector in the edge region, and it is also contemplated that the first anode active coating is directly coated on both sides of the anode current collector in the edge region and the second anode active coating is coated on the surface of the first anode active coating at the edge region of the body region.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the edge region may exceed the length of the negative electrode collector in the length direction in a plane formed by the length and the width of the negative electrode collector, and it is also contemplated that the edge region may exceed the width of the negative electrode collector in the width direction.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the total thickness of the coating in the edge region is greater than the coating thickness in the bulk region, or the total thickness of the coating in the edge region is equal to the coating thickness in the bulk region, or the total thickness of the coating in the edge region is less than the coating thickness in the bulk region.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first negative electrode active coating layer has a lower lithium intercalation potential than the second negative electrode active coating layer.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first negative active coating layer includes a first active material having a lithium intercalation potential of less than 0.5V (vs. Li/Li +).
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second anode active coating layer comprises more than 10 wt%, preferably 50-100 wt% of a second active material having a lithium insertion potential higher than 0.5V (vs. Li/Li +).
According to one embodiment of the invention, the first active material may be those having a lithium intercalation potential below 0.5V (vs. Li/Li +), such as graphite (lithium intercalation potential of about 0.1V vs. Li/Li) + ) Silicon-based materials (Li/Li at about 0.2V vs. Li potential) + )。
According to one embodiment of the invention, the first negative material comprises any one or a combination of two or more selected from the group consisting of: natural graphite, artificial graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes, porous carbon materials, soft carbon and hard carbon; silicon-based materials such as silicon, silicon oxide SiOx; a silicon carbon composite material; tin-based materials such as tin, tin oxide SnOx; a tin-carbon composite material; boron-based materials, and the like.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the second active material may be those having a lithium insertion potential higher than 0.5V (vs. Li/Li +), such as a bismuth-based material (lithium insertion potential of about 0.7V vs. Li/Li) + ) Phosphorus-based materials (intercalation potential of about 0.7V Vs. Li/Li) + )、Li 2 TiSiO 5 (lithium insertion potential is about 0.9V Vs. Li/Li) + )、Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (lithium intercalation potential about 1.5V Vs. Li/Li) + )、LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (lithium intercalation potential about 2.5V Vs. Li/Li + ) And the like.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second negative material includes any one or a combination of two or more selected from the group consisting of: lithium titanate Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO), titanium silicate salts such as Li 2 TiSiO 5 Titanium phosphates, e.g. Li 3 Ti 2 (PO 4 ) 3 Niobium-based oxides such as TiNb 2 O 7 ,NiNb 2 O 7 ,WNb 2 O 8 ,V 4 Nb 18 O 55 Layered sulfides, e.g. LiTiS 2 ,LiVS 2 Phosphorus-based materials, bismuth-based materials, and the like.
When the negative electrode adopts an active material with low lithium intercalation potential, the formed lithium ion battery has higher open-circuit voltage and thus higher energy density, however, because the lithium intercalation potential is lower, when lithium ions cannot be timely intercalated at the lower potential, lithium ions are separated out from the surface of the negative electrode and form lithium dendrites, thereby generating potential safety hazards. When the lithium ion battery is used under the condition of low temperature, the lithium ion battery is rapidly charged, the capacity matching of the positive electrode and the negative electrode has defects, particularly when the control of the alignment degree between the positive electrode and the negative electrode at the edge part of the pole piece and the neck part area of the pole lug is not accurate enough or dislocation occurs in the assembling and using processes, the potential safety hazard can obviously reduce the safety and reliability of the lithium ion battery.
When the negative electrode adopts an active material with a higher lithium intercalation potential, lithium ions are intercalated into the negative electrode active material at the higher potential, and the lithium ion battery formed by the active material has higher safety because the precipitation potential of the metal lithium is not reached, so that the safety problem caused by the metal lithium dendrite is not needed to be worried. However, when the potential of the negative electrode is high, the lithium ion battery formed by the method generally has a low open circuit voltage, so that the energy density of the battery is low, and the use of the battery is limited.
In the embodiment according to the present invention, the negative active material having a low lithium intercalation potential is still used for the main region of the negative electrode, but the negative active material having a high lithium intercalation potential is used for the edge region of the main region and the neck region of the tab. In this case, when the positive and negative electrodes are slightly misaligned so that the alignment is not well secured or the acceptance of the negative electrode is exceeded due to the uniformity of the coating surface density at the edge of the positive electrode, in the embodiment according to the present invention, since the edge region of the positive electrode corresponds to the second negative electrode active coating of the negative electrode having a higher lithium intercalation potential, there is no risk of lithium deposition or lithium dendrite.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the main region of the negative electrode is still provided with a first negative active coating with a lower lithium insertion potential, so that a higher energy density can be provided, while the edge region of the main region and the neck region of the battery tab are provided with a second negative active coating with a higher lithium insertion potential. Despite the low contribution capacity, the second active coating still has the function of lithium ion intercalation/deintercalation, and simultaneously can avoid lithium deposition or lithium precipitation at the edge of the pole piece due to the high lithium intercalation potential. Therefore, by means of the battery cathode according to the present invention, the safety reliability of the lithium ion battery can be improved without sacrificing the energy density of the battery.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second negative active coating layer covers at least one edge of the negative current collector.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second negative active coating layer covers a neck region of a tab of the negative current collector.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the electrochemical device according to the present invention, the width of the positive active coating layer may be substantially equal to the width of the negative active coating layer, for example, the width of the positive active coating layer is 95% to 105%, particularly 98% to 102%, preferably 99% to 101% of the width of the negative active coating layer, and it is particularly contemplated that in the electrochemical device according to the present invention, the width of the positive active coating layer is 100% to 105%, particularly 100% to 102%, preferably 100% to 101% of the width of the negative active coating layer.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the electrochemical device according to the present invention, the length of the positive electrode active coating layer is less than the length of the negative electrode active coating layer, and preferably the length of the positive electrode active coating layer is 95% to 100%, and particularly 98% to 100% of the length of the negative electrode active coating layer.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the electrochemical device according to the present invention, the width of the positive electrode active coating layer is smaller than the width of the negative electrode active coating layer, and preferably the width of the positive electrode active coating layer is 95% to 100%, and particularly 98% to 100% of the width of the negative electrode active coating layer.
