The negative electrode sheet comprises a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer containing a negative electrode active material, wherein the negative electrode active material is usually made of graphite material according to LiC between graphite layers 6 The theoretical gram capacity of the lithium storage mechanism is about 372 mAh/g, and the rate capability is limited by lithium diffusion between graphite layers. With the development of technology, the capacity of the graphite cathode is gradually close to the theoretical value, and the lifting space is very limited. Therefore, as the requirements of the new energy field on the energy and power performance of the battery are continuously improved, the pure graphite cathode material has been proved to be the best of the forepart. Graphene has excellent optical, electrical, mechanical and other characteristics, and has important application prospects in the field of new energy. However, when graphene is prepared as a negative electrode active material, the gram capacity is difficult to further increase, and the prepared graphene is easy to cause problems of interlayer accumulation and the like, and has poor structural stability.
In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet, where an organic carbon source solution and an organic doping source are disposed on a surface of a negative electrode current collector, and etching treatment is performed on the organic carbon source solution and the organic doping source by a laser source, so that a graphene active material layer combined on the negative electrode current collector can be obtained, and the graphene active material layer has a relatively stable structure and is in a three-dimensional structure, and the structure is relatively stable, thereby being beneficial to intercalation or deintercalation of active ions such as lithium ions and sodium ions, and being capable of improving the rate capability of a battery cell; and the organic doping source can enable the doping element in the organic doping source and the carbon element in the graphene active material layer to be connected in a chemical bonding mode under the laser etching effect of the laser source, and the doping element can further improve the gram capacity of the negative electrode plate.
Preparation method of negative electrode plate
In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet, where the method includes:
step S100, providing an organic carbon source solution;
step S200, adding an organic doping source containing doping elements into an organic carbon source solution, and mixing to form a precursor solution;
Step S300, providing a precursor solution on the surface of the negative electrode current collector, and performing heat treatment on the precursor solution to form a precursor film layer;
and step S400, etching the precursor film layer by using a laser source to obtain a graphene active material layer containing doping elements, wherein the doping elements are connected with carbon elements in the graphene active material layer in a chemical bonding mode.
According to the negative electrode piece obtained by the method, the negative electrode piece comprises the graphene active material layer, the graphene active material layer is stable in structure and is in a three-dimensional structure, so that the intercalation or deintercalation of active ions such as lithium ions and sodium ions is facilitated, and the multiplying power performance of a battery monomer can be improved; and as the doping element is introduced into the graphene active material layer, the gram capacity of the negative electrode plate can be improved, and under the laser etching effect of the laser source, the doping element in the organic doping source and the carbon element in the graphene active material layer can be connected in a chemical bonding mode, so that the gram capacity of the negative electrode plate can be further improved.
In the embodiments herein, chemical bonding refers to the connection between two elements in the form of a chemical bond. The doping element is a non-carbon element, and the gram capacity of the negative electrode plate can be further improved by introducing the doping element.

The organic carbon source is dissolved in the solvent, so that the organic carbon source is uniformly distributed in the solvent, and the subsequent uniform film formation is facilitated. The organic carbon source solution is favorable for being uniformly dissolved in the solvent and is favorable for forming a light and thin graphene layer structure because the organic carbon source solution only comprises the organic carbon source as a solute. Of course, the organic carbon source solution in embodiments of the present application may also include other materials that facilitate film formation.
