The secondary battery industry is rapidly developed, and particularly, a power battery is increasingly receiving attention. Secondary batteries generally include a positive electrode tab, a negative electrode tab, an electrolyte, and an exterior package (mostly an aluminum case) for packaging them. The outer package generally comprises a shell and a top cover, wherein a pole is arranged on the top cover and is carved with a two-dimensional code. In the manufacturing process of the secondary battery, electrolyte is generally required to be injected, as shown in fig. 1, liquid spraying, liquid dripping, liquid leakage and the like may occur during liquid injection, and liquid spraying and liquid dripping may also occur during infiltration and formation. The discharged electrolyte can pollute and corrode the battery outer package, so that the battery is scrapped due to bad coating. In addition, the flowing electrolyte can erode the two-dimensional code on the top cover, so that the battery can not sweep the code and is scrapped. In addition, the flowing electrolyte can pollute the battery pole, and poor contact and even safety accidents can be caused in the formation and capacity charge and discharge processes; particularly, when the electrolyte pollutes the negative electrode column, the electrolyte can conduct the aluminum shell and the negative electrode column, and a primary battery consisting of the aluminum shell and the negative electrode forms a complete closed loop, wherein the aluminum shell is used as a positive electrode, and the negative electrode plate is used as a negative electrode. Lithium ions in the electrolyte are continuously intercalated into the aluminum shell to form lithium aluminum alloy (corrosion product), at the moment, the electrode potential of the aluminum shell is rapidly reduced, and the potential difference between the aluminum shell and the negative electrode is greatly reduced. The lithium aluminum alloy has loose structure, and the aluminum shell can be corroded and perforated after long-time reaction. The general manufacturer can measure the potential difference between the negative pole post and the shell in the battery test procedure, and when the potential difference is smaller than the specified value of 1.5V, the lithium intercalation reaction of the aluminum shell is carried out to produce the lithium aluminum alloy, namely the short circuit between the negative pole of the battery and the shell is indicated, and the battery must be scrapped. Therefore, how to prevent the electrolyte from polluting the battery outer package and avoid the corrosion of the two-dimensional code and the polar post on the top cover becomes an important research subject at the present stage.
In order to prevent the battery outer package from being polluted and corroded, researchers usually apply a coating on the surface of the outer package, however, most of the existing coatings are hydrophobic coatings, do not have the function of electrolyte-repellent, and are difficult to prevent the electrolyte from polluting and corroding the battery outer package.
In order to solve the above problems, the inventors have conducted intensive studies to design a coating composition comprising aminopropyl trimethoxysilane and a low surface energy substance in a specific ratio. The coating composition can enable the formed coating to have a rough surface structure with micro-nano size and low surface energy, so that the coating has excellent electrolyte-thinning performance, and after electrolyte drops on the surface of the battery outer package provided with the coating, spherical drops can be formed to roll and drop, thereby protecting the battery outer package from being polluted by the electrolyte, and avoiding the electrolyte from corroding the two-dimensional code and polluting the polar post. The application can effectively prevent the secondary battery from being scrapped caused by pollution of electrolyte in the manufacturing process, and improves the product quality.
The technical scheme described in the embodiment of the application is applicable to a coating composition, and is also applicable to a top cover provided with a coating layer, a preparation method of the top cover, a secondary battery using the top cover, a battery module using the secondary battery, a battery pack using the secondary battery or the battery module, and an electric device using at least one of the secondary battery, the battery module and the battery pack.
In a first aspect, according to some embodiments of the present application, the present application provides a coating composition. The material comprises a component A and a component B, wherein the component A is aminopropyl trimethoxysilane, and the component B is a low-surface-energy substance. Wherein the mass ratio of the component A to the component B is 1 (1-10).
The structural formula of the aminopropyl trimethoxysilane is shown as follows:
component a of the present application helps to impart micro-nano sized rough surface structure to the formed coating; component B is beneficial to lower the surface energy of the coating. The combination of the component A and the component B in a specific proportion can lead the formed coating to have a rough surface structure with micro-nano size and simultaneously have lower surface energy, thereby leading the coating to have excellent electrolyte-thinning performance.
In addition, the coating formed by the coating composition has excellent electrolyte-repellent performance, and is transparent and insulating. The transparent coating does not influence the scanning of the two-dimensional code. The insulating coating can not lead to the conduction of the pole and the shell to cause poor shell pressure.
In some embodiments, the mass ratio of component A to component B may be 1 (2-10).
The mass ratio of the component A to the component B is optimized, so that the contact angle between the electrolyte drop and the surface of the battery outer package modified by the coating is further increased, and the electrolyte-thinning performance of the coating is further improved.
In some embodiments, the mass ratio of component a to component B may be 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, or 1:10. The mass ratio of component a to component B may be within a range of values defined by any two of the values listed above as endpoints.
In some embodiments, the coating composition may further comprise: component C, which is cage polysilsesquioxane or salt thereof containing amino group. The mass ratio of the component A to the component B to the component C can be 1 (1-10): 0.5-5.
The component C of the application is beneficial to improving the corrosion resistance of the coating, improving the bonding strength between the components and improving the adhesive force between the coating and the battery outer package, so that the coating is not easy to peel off. The application can provide continuous antifouling and anti-corrosion protection for the battery outer package by combining the component A, the component B and the component C with specific proportions.

Using the dope composition stock solutions prepared in example 1 to example 27 and comparative example 1 to comparative example 5, secondary batteries were prepared according to the following general preparation methods.
Preparation of secondary battery
Examples 1 a-27 a and comparative examples 1 a-5 a
First, provide battery top cap, it includes lamina tecti (the substrate is aluminum alloy 5052), anodal post subassembly, negative pole post subassembly, annotate liquid hole etc. the upper surface of lamina tecti is equipped with the two-dimensional code.
Then, pouring the prepared coating composition stock solution into a sprayer, and then uniformly spraying the coating composition stock solution onto the upper surface of the battery top cover; and drying the battery top cover at a certain temperature for a certain time to obtain the battery top cover with the electrolyte-repellent coating, wherein the drying temperature and the drying time are shown in the following table 2.
Finally, the electrode assembly (including the positive electrode sheet, the separator and the negative electrode sheet) was put into a case (the base material was aluminum alloy 5052), the opening of the case was sealed with the prepared battery top cover, and then baked to remove water, and then subjected to primary injection, infiltration, formation, secondary injection, sealing nail welding, capacity test, coating and the like to obtain finished secondary batteries (numbered example 1a-27a, comparative example 1 a-comparative example 5 a).
Comparative example 6a
A secondary battery was manufactured according to the above-described method, except that an electrolyte-repellent coating layer was not formed on the battery top cover.
Battery top cap antiseptic property characterization
Contact angle test:
the Contact Angle (CA) refers to the Angle between a tangent line and a solid-liquid interface when the whole system reaches the equilibrium of solid, liquid and gas phases and the tangent line is formed at the boundary of the three phases. The contact angle tester is just used to measure CA of liquids to solids, and thus to study the wettability of objects.
Specifically, 7 μl of the electrolyte was dropped on the battery top cap surfaces of the secondary batteries prepared in examples 1a to 27a, comparative examples 1a to 5a, and comparative example 6a, respectively. The contact angle of the electrolyte drop with the surface of the battery top cover was measured using a contact angle meter, and the results are shown in table 2 below.
Among them, the contact angle of the electrolyte droplet with the battery top cover (no coating) of the secondary battery prepared in comparative example 6a and the contact angle of the electrolyte droplet with the battery top cover (coated, drying temperature of coating was 60 ℃ C., drying time was 8 h) of the secondary battery prepared in example 5a were compared with those shown in FIG. 8 (obtained by using a contact angle meter).
Two-dimensional code corrosion:
2 mL electrolyte was dripped onto the two-dimensional code of the battery top cap (coated) of the secondary battery prepared in example 5 a. In addition, 2 mL electrolyte was dropped onto the two-dimensional code of the battery top cover (uncoated) of the secondary battery prepared in comparative example 6 a. After being placed at 25 ℃ for one month, the two-dimensional code corrosion condition is indistinguishable from that the uncoated two-dimensional code is corroded, as shown in fig. 9, and the coated two-dimensional code is clearly visible.
Negative electrode column pollution:
10 mL electrolyte was dropped onto the negative electrode column of the battery top cap (coated) of the secondary battery prepared in example 6a (no electrolyte was dropped on the two-dimensional code). In addition, 10 mL electrolyte was dropped onto the negative electrode column (no coating) of the battery top cap (no electrolyte was dropped onto the two-dimensional code) of the secondary battery prepared in comparative example 6 a. The negative electrode column pollution condition pair is shown in fig. 10. After the electrolyte is dripped on the uncoated negative electrode column, residual crystallization appears on the negative electrode column and the vicinity thereof along with the evaporation of the solvent, and the negative electrode column is obviously polluted by the electrolyte. After the electrolyte is dripped on the coated cathode column, the electrolyte can roll off and cannot be left on the top cover, so that no crystallization residue exists, and the cathode column is not polluted by the electrolyte.
Potential difference between the negative electrode column and the case:
10 mL electrolyte was dropped onto the negative electrode column of the battery top cap (coated) of the secondary battery prepared in example 6a (no electrolyte was dropped on the two-dimensional code). In addition, 10 mL electrolyte was dropped onto the negative electrode column (no coating) of the battery top cap (no electrolyte was dropped onto the two-dimensional code) of the secondary battery prepared in comparative example 6 a. The change in potential difference (i.e., can pressure) between the anode stem and the casing was measured at intervals, and the result is shown in fig. 11. The testing method comprises the following steps: and testing by adopting a universal meter, wherein the positive electrode probe is contacted with the shell, the negative electrode probe is contacted with the negative electrode column of the battery, and the potential difference between the positive electrode probe and the negative electrode probe is the shell pressure. The results show that the potential difference between the coated anode stem and the casing remains stable. The potential difference between the uncoated negative electrode column and the shell is rapidly reduced, and after the electrode liquid and the peripheral electrolyte on the uncoated negative electrode column are removed, the potential difference cannot be recovered to be normal, so that irreversible damage is caused.
TABLE 2
As can be seen from the above examples and comparative examples, the coating layer formed from the coating composition of the present application has excellent electrolyte-repellent properties, and when an electrolyte drops onto the surface of the battery top cover provided with the coating layer, spherical drops are formed to roll off, thereby protecting the battery top cover from being contaminated by the electrolyte, and preventing the electrolyte from corroding the two-dimensional code and contaminating the post.
The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily understood by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention.
