Currently, the performance of LIBs, including energy density and lifetime, has not fully met various requirements, especially in the field of electric vehicles. Thus, the main direction of development today is to produce LIBs with higher energy density, lower cost and higher reliability. Positive electrode materials are one of the important factors that have made breakthroughs in this field, such as various types of positive electrode materials (e.g., liCoO 2 、LiNi m Co n Mn 1-m-n O 2 、LiNi m Co n Al 1-m-n O 2 、Li 2 Mn 2 O 4 And LiFePO 4 Etc.) have been widely used in LIBs. Wherein the nickel-rich cathode material (LiNi m Co n M 1-m-n O 2 X is more than or equal to 0.6, M=Mn, al) becomes a research hot spot in recent years due to the advantages of high reversible capacity, low cost and the like, and the nickel content is continuously increased, so that a very considerable initial discharge specific capacity is obtained. However, nickel-rich materials cause anisotropic expansion/contraction of the material due to phase transition from H2 to H3 at high voltage, resulting in unstable structure and high oxidation state Ni 4+ The high activity of the nickel-rich anode material is easy to catalyze the electrolyte to decompose and produce gas, HF corrosion can lead to dissolution of transition metal ions Ni, co and Mn, and induction of SEI growth leads to DCR growth, so that the nickel-rich anode material has the problem of unstable structure in the use process, thereby having adverse effect on the electrochemical performance and reliability of LIBs.
Thus, those skilled in the art have focused on adding substances inhibiting side reactions, such as binders, additives, etc., to the electrode slurry, and in the prior art, polyacrylic acid, which is a typical water-soluble binder, has a high association ability, and can be dissolved in water and N-methylpyrrolidone, and because of its rigidity, particularly, a large number of carboxyl functional groups contained in the polyacrylic acid side chains can be agglomerated together due to the mutual hydrogen bonding action, the active materials cannot be effectively bound during the circulation process, the circulation performance of the battery can be only relieved to some extent, and the battery is subjected to brittle risks in practical applications, and needs to be modified.
In order to alleviate the problem of unstable structure of the positive electrode material, a multifunctional composite binder can be designed. For example, epoxy, a benzofluoride functional group and a dopamine group are modified on polypropylene to construct a crosslinking composite adhesive, and the adhesive has a hydrogen bond structure formed by an ortho-position hydroxyl group and an amide bond, wherein the hydroxyl group can chelate transition metal ions, inhibit dissolution of transition metal, inhibit hydrofluoric acid corrosion and the like, but the monomer cost for introducing the groups by the method is relatively high, and the adhesive cannot replace the current polyvinylidene fluoride system. For example, PVDF-g-PAMPS copolymers are prepared by graft copolymerizing 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic Acid (AMPS) onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) by a free radical polymerization process, and PVDF-g-PAMPS/PMMA blends are prepared by blending amorphous polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), however, the cost of the corresponding PAMPS and PMMA is relatively high. For example, the soluble ionic crosslinked polymer obtained through carboxyl amino ion interaction and hydrogen bonding can effectively reduce capacity attenuation generated by active material expansion in the circulation process and inhibit electrode crack generation, but the soluble binder can be dissociated into electrolyte in the electrochemical process, so that the pole piece is at a risk of demoulding.
Against the background of the above, in a first aspect of embodiments of the present application, there is provided a binder comprising a polymer having the general chemical formula I:
i is a kind of
Wherein R comprises an electron donating group;
m is a natural number greater than or equal to 10, and n is a natural number greater than or equal to 10.
In the embodiment of the application, the bridging group R can be connected with a plurality of main chain polymers through amide bonds, and meanwhile, electron donating groups contained in the R groups can form hydrogen bonds between adjacent R groups, so that the binder molecules can form a network crosslinking structure taking the amide bonds as nodes and the hydrogen bonds as branched chains, thereby obviously improving the cohesive force of the binder. Meanwhile, the electron donating group contained in the R group enables the bridging group to have higher electronegativity, can chelate with transition metal, shields the structural phase change of the surface of the electrode material in a high-voltage state, thereby improving the structural stability of the electrode material, and is also beneficial to the conduction of lithium ions, thereby improving the transmission rate of lithium ions, and enabling the secondary battery to show lower direct current impedance growth rate and higher cycle capacity retention rate.
In the embodiment of the application, the adhesive molecules have amide bonds and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and in addition, the bridging group can be connected with a plurality of main chain polymers through the amide bonds, so that the adhesive molecules are in a network crosslinking structure, and the molecular formula of the adhesive molecules can be shown as the formula I-a:
The compounds of the formula I-a,
wherein the ellipses in formula I-a represent hydrogen bonds formed between adjacent R groups, and the wavy lines of R linkages in formula I represent the bonding locations of R to the backbone polymer.
In some embodiments, the electron donating group comprises at least one of an imino group, an oxy ether, a carbonyl group, a thioether, a sulfoxide group, a sulfone group, a sulfonic acid group, and a sulfonate.
