Positive electrode slurry composition and lithium secondary battery manufactured using same
Technical Field
The present application claims priority from korean patent application No. 10-2021-0187722, filed 24 at 12 months of 2021, and korean patent application No. 10-2022-0179775, filed 20 at 12 months of 2022, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present application relates to a positive electrode slurry composition and a lithium secondary battery manufactured using the same, and more particularly, to a positive electrode slurry composition including a low molecular weight dispersant and a lithium secondary battery manufactured using the same.
Background
As the technology development and demand for electric vehicles and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) increase, the demand for batteries as energy sources increases rapidly, and thus, various researches on batteries capable of satisfying various demands have been conducted. In particular, lithium secondary batteries, which exhibit excellent life and cycle characteristics while having high energy density, are being actively studied as power sources for devices.
As a positive electrode active material of a lithium secondary battery, lithium cobalt-based oxides, lithium nickel cobalt manganese-based oxides, lithium iron phosphate, and the like have been used.
Among those listed above, lithium iron phosphate is inexpensive because it is abundant in resources and contains low cost material iron. Also, since lithium iron phosphate has low toxicity, environmental pollution can be reduced when lithium iron phosphate is used. In addition, since the lithium iron phosphate has an olivine structure, the active material structure can be stably maintained at high temperature as compared with the lithium transition metal oxide having a layered structure. Therefore, the high temperature stability and the high temperature life characteristics of the battery may be excellent.
However, lithium iron phosphate has problems of poor lithium mobility and low electrical conductivity compared to lithium transition metal oxides such as lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide. Therefore, in general, lithium iron phosphate having a small average particle size is used to shorten the moving path of lithium, the surface of the lithium iron phosphate is coated with carbon to improve the electrical conductivity, and an excessive amount of conductive material is used.
However, as the particle size of the lithium iron phosphate decreases, the specific surface area of the lithium iron phosphate increases, and the lithium iron phosphate coated with carbon on the surface exhibits reduced wettability with respect to the solvent. As a result, serious particle agglomeration of lithium iron phosphate occurs, whereby stability and coating workability of the positive electrode slurry are reduced. In addition, when an excessive amount of conductive material is used, agglomeration between conductive material particles excessively occurs in the positive electrode slurry. As the amount of the agglomerated conductive material increases, the amount of lithium iron phosphate capable of participating in the charge/discharge reaction of the battery relatively decreases, and as a result, the charge/discharge resistance of the lithium secondary battery may increase.
Accordingly, there is a need for a technique to inhibit agglomeration of particles in positive electrode slurry compositions and positive electrodes that include lithium iron phosphate.
Disclosure of Invention
Technical problem
The present application aims to provide a positive electrode slurry composition having a relatively low viscosity and a relatively high solid content by improving dispersibility of a positive electrode active material and/or a conductive material in the positive electrode slurry composition and suppressing particle agglomeration.
The present application is also directed to providing a lithium secondary battery having a reduced discharge resistance by improving dispersibility of a positive electrode active material and/or a conductive material in a positive electrode and suppressing particle agglomeration.
Technical proposal
According to an embodiment of the present application, there is provided a positive electrode slurry composition including a positive electrode active material, a dispersant, a conductive material, a binder, and a solvent, wherein the positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate, and the dispersant has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000g/mol to 150,000g/mol.
According to another embodiment of the present application, there is provided a lithium secondary battery including a positive electrode, wherein the positive electrode includes a positive electrode active material, a dispersant, a conductive material, and a binder, the positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate, and the dispersant has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000g/mol to 150,000g/mol.
Advantageous effects
Since the positive electrode slurry composition according to the present application contains the dispersing agent having a low weight average molecular weight, the solvent wettability and dispersibility of lithium iron phosphate particles contained in the positive electrode slurry composition are improved, whereby particle agglomeration of lithium iron phosphate can be suppressed. Thus, the positive electrode slurry composition may have a low viscosity and also have a high solids content as compared to other positive electrode slurry compositions having the same viscosity.
In addition, since particle agglomeration of lithium iron phosphate can be suppressed, stability and coating workability of the positive electrode slurry composition can be improved.
In addition, since the positive electrode slurry composition according to the present application has a relatively high solid content, the time required for the slurry drying process in the manufacture of the positive electrode is shortened, whereby the process cost can be reduced.
Further, since the dispersant has a low weight average molecular weight, the conductive material is agglomerated in a spherical form in the positive electrode, whereby the surface area of the agglomerated conductive material can be minimized as compared with the conductive material agglomerated in a linear form. As a result, the surface area of the positive electrode active material that is positioned adjacent to the agglomerated conductive material and thus does not participate in the lithium intercalation/deintercalation reaction is minimized, whereby the discharge resistance of the lithium secondary battery manufactured using the positive electrode slurry composition can be reduced.

Positive electrode slurry composition
The positive electrode slurry composition according to an embodiment of the present application is intended to form a positive electrode active material layer and includes a positive electrode active material, a dispersant, a conductive material, a binder, and a solvent, wherein the positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate, and the dispersant has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000g/mol to 150,000g/mol.
In the case of a conventional positive electrode slurry composition including lithium iron phosphate, particle agglomeration of lithium iron phosphate excessively occurs due to small particle size of lithium iron phosphate and carbon coating formed on the surface of lithium iron phosphate, whereby stability and coating workability of the positive electrode slurry are reduced. In addition, when an excessive amount of conductive material is used to improve the conductivity of the positive electrode, excessive agglomeration occurs between the conductive material particles, whereby the conductive network of the positive electrode is deteriorated. As a result, the charge/discharge resistance of the lithium secondary battery increases.
As a result of long-term studies to solve the above problems, the inventors of the present application found that when a low-weight average molecular weight dispersant is contained in a positive electrode slurry composition, the dispersibility of a positive electrode active material and/or a conductive material in the positive electrode slurry composition can be improved, and particle agglomeration can be suppressed. This will be described in detail below.
(1) Positive electrode active material
The positive electrode active material may include lithium iron phosphate. When the positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate, the stability of the positive electrode including the positive electrode active material is significantly improved, and thus the ignition of the lithium secondary battery including the positive electrode may be significantly reduced.
The lithium iron phosphate may be a compound represented by the following chemical formula 1.
[ chemical formula 1]
Li 1+a Fe 1-x M x (PO 4-b )X b
(in the chemical formula 1,
m comprises any one or more elements selected from Al, mg, ni, co, mn, ti, ga, cu, V, nb, zr, ce, in, zn, Y,
x contains any one or more elements selected from F, S and N, and a, b and X respectively satisfy-0.5.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.0.5, 0.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.0.1 and 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.5
For example, the lithium iron phosphate may be LiFePO 4
The lithium iron phosphate may include a carbon coating on a surface thereof. When the carbon coating is formed on the surface of the lithium iron phosphate, the electrical conductivity is enhanced, whereby the resistance characteristics of the positive electrode can be improved.
The carbon coating may be formed using at least one raw material selected from the group consisting of: glucose, sucrose, lactose, starch, oligosaccharides, poly-oligosaccharides, fructose, cellulose, furfuryl alcohol polymers, block copolymers of ethylene and ethylene oxide, vinyl resins, cellulose resins, phenolic resins, bitumen resins and tar resins. Specifically, the carbon coating may be formed by mixing raw materials with lithium iron phosphate and heat-treating the resulting mixture.
Average particle diameter D of lithium iron phosphate 50 May be 0.8 μm to 20.0 μm, specifically 0.9 μm to 10.0 μm, more specifically 0.9 μm to 3.0 μm. Average particle diameter D of the cathode active material 50 When the above range is satisfied, lithium mobility in the lithium iron phosphate is improved, so that charge/discharge characteristics of the battery can be improved.
The BET specific surface area of the lithium iron phosphate may be 5m 2 /g to 20m 2 /g, in particular 7m 2 /g to 18m 2 /g, more particularly 9m 2 /g to 16m 2 And/g. The above range is a low BET specific surface area range compared to conventional lithium iron phosphate. When the above range is satisfied, agglomeration of lithium iron phosphate can be effectively suppressed even in a positive electrode slurry composition having a relatively small amount of dispersant.
The content of lithium iron phosphate may be 93 to 98 wt%, specifically 93.5 to 98 wt%, more specifically 94 to 97 wt%, based on the total solids content of the positive electrode slurry composition. When the content of lithium iron phosphate satisfies the above range, a sufficient energy density of the positive electrode is ensured, whereby the battery capacity of the positive electrode can be improved.
(2) Dispersing agent
The dispersant suppresses excessive agglomeration of lithium iron phosphate in the positive electrode slurry composition and allows lithium iron phosphate to be effectively dispersed in the prepared positive electrode active material layer.
The dispersant may comprise a hydrogenated nitrile copolymer. In particular, the dispersant may be a hydrogenated nitrile copolymer.
Specifically, the hydrogenated nitrile copolymer may be a copolymer comprising structural units derived from an α, β -unsaturated nitrile and structural units derived from a hydrogenated conjugated diene, or a copolymer comprising structural units derived from an α, β -unsaturated nitrile, structural units derived from a conjugated diene, and structural units derived from a hydrogenated conjugated diene. As the α, β -unsaturated nitrile monomer, for example, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, and the like can be used, and they may be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof. As the conjugated diene monomer, for example, C4 to C6 conjugated diene monomers such as 1, 3-butadiene, isoprene, 2, 3-methylbutadiene, and the like may be used, and they may be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof.
More specifically, the hydrogenated nitrile copolymer may be hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (H-NBR).
The dispersant may have a weight average molecular weight of from 10,000g/mol to 150,000g/mol, preferably from 15,000g/mol to 140,000g/mol, more preferably from 20,000g/mol to 130,000g/mol. This value is lower than the weight average molecular weight of the dispersant contained in the conventional positive electrode slurry composition.
When the weight average molecular weight of the dispersant is less than 10,000g/mol, the dispersibility of lithium iron phosphate is reduced, and the dispersant may be eluted in the preparation of an electrode. When the weight average molecular weight of the dispersant exceeds 150,000g/mol, the positive electrode slurry composition has a high viscosity, whereby the stability and coating processability of the positive electrode slurry composition may be lowered and the conductive material may be agglomerated in a linear form. Therefore, it is not preferable in terms of the resistance of the lithium secondary battery.
On the other hand, when the weight average molecular weight of the dispersant satisfies the above range, the solvent wettability and dispersibility of the lithium iron phosphate particles are improved, so that particle agglomeration of the lithium iron phosphate can be suppressed. Thus, the positive electrode slurry composition may have a low viscosity and also have a high solids content as compared to other positive electrode slurry compositions having the same viscosity.
Further, when the weight average molecular weight of the dispersant satisfies the above range, the conductive material is agglomerated in a spherical form in the positive electrode, whereby the surface area of the agglomerated conductive material can be minimized as compared with the conductive material agglomerated in a linear form. As a result, the surface area of the positive electrode active material that is positioned adjacent to the agglomerated conductive material and thus does not participate in the lithium intercalation/deintercalation reaction is minimized, whereby the discharge resistance of the lithium secondary battery manufactured using the positive electrode slurry composition can be reduced.
The content of the dispersant may be 0.2 to 1.0 wt%, specifically 0.2 to 0.9 wt%, more specifically 0.3 to 0.8 wt%, based on the total solids content of the positive electrode slurry composition. When the content of the dispersant satisfies the above range, aggregation of the conductive material in the positive electrode active material layer is suppressed, so that the conductive network of the positive electrode can be improved.
(3) Adhesive agent
The binder is used to aid in the bonding of the positive electrode active materials, conductive materials, etc. to each other and to the current collector. Specific examples thereof include polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), starch, hydroxypropyl cellulose, regenerated cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), sulfonated EPDM, styrene-butadiene rubber, fluororubber, various copolymers thereof, and the like, which may be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof.
The binder may be present in an amount of 2.0 wt% to 4.0 wt%, specifically 2.2 wt% to 3.8 wt%, more specifically 2.3 wt% to 3.7 wt%, based on the total solids content of the positive electrode slurry composition. When the content of the binder satisfies the above range, the contact area between the binder and the lithium iron phosphate increases, whereby excellent positive electrode adhesion can be ensured.
(4) Conductive material
The conductive material is not particularly restricted so long as the conductive material does not cause chemical changes in the battery and has conductivity. For example, graphite may be used; carbon-based materials such as carbon black, acetylene black, ketjen black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black, thermal black, and the like; conductive fibers such as carbon fibers, metal fibers, and the like; a fluorocarbon compound; metal powder such as aluminum powder, nickel powder, etc.; conductive whiskers such as zinc oxide, potassium titanate, and the like; conductive metal oxides such as titanium oxide and the like; and conductive materials such as polyphenylene derivatives and the like. Specific examples of commercially available conductive materials include acetylene black type products (Chevron Chemical Company), dancarbo black (Denka Singapore Private Limited), gulf Oil Company products, ketjen black, EC type products (Armak Company), vulcan XC-72 (Cabot Company), super P (Timcal), and the like. Preferably, the conductive material may be carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are particularly preferred as the conductive material contained in the positive electrode slurry composition of the present application because the conductive network of carbon nanotubes can alleviate migration phenomenon of the binder during drying of the positive electrode slurry composition.
The content of the conductive material may be 0.1 to 3.0 wt%, specifically 0.2 to 2.0 wt%, more specifically 0.6 to 1.2 wt%, based on the total solids content of the positive electrode slurry composition. When the content of the conductive material satisfies the above range, the conductive network of the positive electrode is ensured, whereby the conductivity of the positive electrode can be improved.
(5) Solvent(s)
The solvent is intended to mix the above-mentioned positive electrode active material, binder, dispersant and/or conductive material. As the solvent, any solvent commonly used in the art may be used, and examples thereof include dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), isopropyl alcohol, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), acetone, water, etc., which may be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof.
The content of the solvent may be such that the positive electrode slurry composition has an appropriate viscosity and an appropriate solid content. For example, the solvent may be present in an amount such that the solids content of the composition is from 40 to 75 wt%, specifically from 50 to 70 wt%, more specifically from 55 to 70 wt%. This content is relatively higher than that of other conventional positive electrode slurry compositions. When the solid content of the positive electrode slurry composition satisfies the above range, the time required for the slurry drying process in the production of the positive electrode is shortened, whereby the process cost can be reduced. Further, the composition has a viscosity at a coatable level, and the positive electrode active material layer formed of the composition has a thickness at a level or more, whereby excellent energy density can be ensured.
The positive electrode slurry composition according to the embodiment of the present application was prepared at 25℃and 10 °c -2 The viscosity measured at a shear rate of rpm may be 5,000cps to 20,000cps, specifically 6,000cps to 15,000cps, more specifically 8,000cps to 15,000cps. The positive electrode slurry composition having the viscosity within the above range may have excellent storage stability and coating workability. In addition, the positive electrode slurry composition may have a high solid content as compared with other positive electrode slurry compositions having the same viscosity, whereby the time required for the slurry drying process in the manufacture of the positive electrode is shortened, and thus the process cost may be reduced.
Positive electrode
Next, a positive electrode according to the present application will be described.
The positive electrode includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector. In this case, the positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, a conductive material, a binder, and a dispersant, wherein the positive electrode active material includes lithium iron phosphate, and the dispersant has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000g/mol to 150,000g/mol. The positive electrode may be formed using the positive electrode slurry composition described above. The positive electrode active material, the binder, the dispersant, and the conductive material have been described above.
Since the positive electrode according to the present application contains hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber as a dispersant, and the weight average molecular weight of the dispersant is 10,000g/mol to 150,000g/mol, the conductive material is agglomerated in a spherical form in the positive electrode. In the case of the positive electrode, the surface area of the agglomerated conductive material can be minimized as compared with the conductive material agglomerated in a linear form. Accordingly, the surface area of the positive electrode active material positioned adjacent to the agglomerated conductive material and thus not participating in the lithium intercalation/deintercalation reaction is minimized, whereby the discharge resistance of the lithium secondary battery can be reduced.
In the case of the positive electrode according to the present application, the conductive material is agglomerated in a spherical form, and therefore, the maximum axial length of the agglomerated area of the conductive material in the cross section of the positive electrode is 10 μm or less. Further, the ratio of the short axis length to the long axis length of the agglomerated area of the conductive material may be 0.1:1, preferably 0.2:1, more preferably 0.3:1.
when the agglomerated area of the conductive material satisfies the above range, the discharge resistance of the lithium secondary battery can be enhanced.
The agglomerated area of the conductive material in the cross section of the positive electrode can be confirmed by observing the cross section of the positive electrode using a scanning electron microscope (hereinafter referred to as "SEM"). In an SEM image or a Back Scattered Electron (BSE) image obtained by photographing a cross section of the positive electrode, lithium iron phosphate shows a bright contrast, and an agglomerated area of the conductive material shows a dark contrast. The length of the major and minor axes of the agglomerated areas of conductive material exhibiting dark contrast can be measured.
In the present application, a region having an area of 50 μm×50 μm in a cross section of the positive electrode is observed using SEM, and lengths of a major axis and a minor axis of the region shown in a dark image in an SEM image or a BSE image are measured.
The positive electrode current collector is not particularly limited as long as the positive electrode current collector does not cause chemical changes in the battery and has conductivity. As the current collector, for example, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, titanium, calcined carbon, or aluminum or stainless steel whose surface is treated with carbon, nickel, titanium, silver, or the like can be used.
The positive electrode current collector may have a thickness of 3 to 500 μm and may have fine irregularities formed on the surface thereof to increase adhesion with the positive electrode active material layer. For example, the positive electrode current collector may be used in any of various forms such as a film, a sheet, a foil, a net, a porous body, a foam, a nonwoven fabric, and the like.
The positive electrode active material layer may be located on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector and formed of the positive electrode slurry composition described above.
In addition to using the above-described positive electrode slurry composition, the positive electrode may be manufactured by a conventional method of manufacturing a positive electrode. Specifically, the positive electrode may be manufactured by coating a positive electrode slurry composition onto a positive electrode current collector, followed by drying and pressing.
As another method, the positive electrode may be manufactured by laminating the following film on a positive electrode current collector: the film is obtained by casting the positive electrode slurry composition on a separate support and removing it from the support.

The content of the anode conductive material may be generally 1 to 30 wt%, preferably 1 to 20 wt%, more preferably 1 to 10 wt%, with respect to the total weight of the anode active material layer.
The anode binder serves to enhance adhesion between anode active material particles and adhesion between anode active material and anode current collector.

The content of the anode binder may be 1 to 30 wt%, preferably 1 to 20 wt%, more preferably 1 to 10 wt%, with respect to the total weight of the anode active material layer.
On the other hand, the anode current collector is not particularly limited as long as the anode current collector does not cause chemical changes in the battery and has high conductivity. As the negative electrode current collector, for example, copper, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, titanium, calcined carbon, or copper or stainless steel whose surface is treated with carbon, nickel, titanium, silver, or the like, aluminum-cadmium alloy, or the like can be used.
Further, the thickness of the anode current collector may be generally 3 μm to 500 μm. As with the positive electrode current collector, the negative electrode current collector may have fine irregularities formed on the surface thereof to increase adhesion with the negative electrode active material. For example, the anode current collector may be used in any of various forms such as a film, a sheet, a foil, a net, a porous body, a foam, a nonwoven fabric, and the like.
On the other hand, as the separator in the lithium secondary battery, any separator commonly used as a separator in a lithium secondary battery may be used without particular limitation, and in particular, a separator exhibiting low resistance to electrolyte ion migration and having excellent electrolyte impregnation ability is preferable. Specifically, a porous polymer film, for example, a porous polymer film made of a polyolefin-based polymer such as an ethylene homopolymer, a propylene homopolymer, an ethylene/butene copolymer, an ethylene/hexene copolymer, an ethylene/methacrylate copolymer, or the like, or a stacked structure having two or more layers thereof may be used. In addition, a conventional porous nonwoven fabric, for example, a nonwoven fabric made of high-melting glass fibers, polyethylene terephthalate fibers, or the like may be used. Further, the separator may be a porous film having a pore diameter of 0.01 μm to 10 μm and a thickness of 5 μm to 300 μm.

The lithium secondary battery according to the present application may be manufactured by: the separator is interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to form an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly is placed in a cylindrical battery case or a prismatic battery case, and an electrolyte is injected. Alternatively, the lithium secondary battery may be manufactured by: the electrode assemblies were stacked, the electrode assemblies were impregnated with an electrolyte, the resulting was placed in a battery case, and the battery case was sealed.
In the manufacture of the lithium secondary battery according to the present application, the electrode assembly may be dried to remove one or more organic solvents selected from the group consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), acetone, ethanol, PC, EMC, EC, and DMC used in the manufacture of the positive electrode.

Since the positive electrode active material in the lithium secondary battery contains lithium iron phosphate and the weight average molecular weight of the dispersant is 10,000g/mol to 150,000g/mol, it is possible to exhibit battery resistance satisfying the above range. Specifically, when a low molecular weight dispersant is included in the positive electrode slurry composition, the conductive material is agglomerated in a spherical form in the positive electrode, whereby the surface area of the agglomerated conductive material can be minimized as compared with the conductive material agglomerated in a linear form. As a result, the surface area of the positive electrode active material that is positioned adjacent to the agglomerated conductive material and thus does not participate in the lithium intercalation/deintercalation reaction is minimized, whereby the battery resistance of the lithium secondary battery manufactured using the positive electrode slurry composition can be reduced to within the above-described range.

Areas having an area of 50 μm×50 μm in the cross section of each of the positive electrodes manufactured in examples 1 to 3 and comparative example 1 were observed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and the agglomerated form of the conductive material on the cross section of the positive electrode was confirmed. SEM images are shown in fig. 1 and 4, and the agglomerated morphology of the conductive material on the cross section of the positive electrode is shown in table 2 below.
Fig. 1 is an SEM image of a cross section of a positive electrode in a lithium secondary battery of example 1, fig. 2 is an SEM image of a cross section of a positive electrode in a lithium secondary battery of example 2, fig. 3 is an SEM image of a cross section of a positive electrode in a lithium secondary battery of example 3, and fig. 4 is an SEM image of a cross section of a positive electrode in a lithium secondary battery of comparative example 1.
In fig. 1 to 4, lithium iron phosphate is shown as a bright portion, and agglomerated areas of the conductive material are shown as dark shadows.
As shown in fig. 1 to 2, in the cross sections of the positive electrodes of example 1 and example 2, it was confirmed that the region where the conductive material agglomerated in a linear form was not found, and the conductive material agglomerated in a spherical form. As shown in fig. 3, in the case of the cross section of the positive electrode of example 3, there are a region where the conductive material is agglomerated in a spherical form and a region where the conductive material is agglomerated in a linear form, but the maximum axial length of the region where the conductive material is agglomerated in a linear form is 10 μm or less. On the other hand, as shown in fig. 4, in the cross section of the positive electrode of comparative example 1, a linear conductive material agglomerated region having a length of 1 μm or more was found, and three conductive material agglomerated regions having a long axis length of more than 10 μm were also found.
Experimental example 3 measurement of cell resistance of lithium Secondary cell
The battery resistances of the respective lithium secondary batteries prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 and 2 were measured, and the measurement results are shown in table 2 below.
Specifically, for each of the lithium secondary batteries manufactured in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 and 2, a value obtained by dividing a voltage drop value displayed when a discharge pulse was applied for 10 seconds in a state of charge (SOC) of 50% and at 2.5C by a current value was measured as a battery resistance (SOC 50 discharge resistance).
TABLE 2
Positive electrode slurry composition Cross section of positive electrode Lithium secondary battery
Viscosity (cps) Agglomeration morphology of conductive materials Battery resistor (mΩ)
Example 1 11,900 Spherical shape 1.5
Example 2 10,500 Spherical shape 1.5
Example 3 12,400 Sphere/wire shape 1.5
Comparative example 1 8,900 Linear shape 1.8
Comparative example 2 23,000 (no observation) (not measurable)
Referring to table 2, it can be confirmed that the positive electrode slurry composition of comparative example 2, in which the weight average molecular weight of the dispersant exceeds 150,000g/mol, has significantly higher viscosity than the positive electrode slurry composition of example 1, based on the same solid content.
In the case of comparative example 2, since the viscosity of the positive electrode slurry composition was too high to cause clogging of a transfer pipe connected to the slot die coater with the positive electrode slurry composition, the slurry composition could not be discharged from the slot die coater by a conventional pump pressure. In order to discharge the positive electrode slurry composition from the slot die coater, a high pump pressure needs to be applied to the slot die coater, and thus, an excessive pump pressure is applied. Therefore, since the positive electrode slurry composition cannot be coated at the same loading amount as in example 1, it is impossible to manufacture a positive electrode, and thus it is also impossible to measure the battery resistance of the lithium secondary battery.
Although the positive electrode slurry composition of comparative example 1 in which the weight average molecular weight of the dispersant exceeds 150,000g/mol has a low viscosity, it has a lower solid content than the positive electrode slurry composition of example 1, and thus it takes a long time to dry the composition in the manufacture of the positive electrode, thus increasing the process cost.
Further, it was confirmed that the lithium secondary battery of comparative example 1 exhibited higher battery resistance than the lithium secondary battery of example 1. It is presumed that such a result is obtained because, in the case of comparative example 1, as shown in fig. 2, the conductive material is agglomerated in a linear form in the positive electrode to increase the surface area of the agglomerated conductive material, and thus the surface area of the positive electrode active material that is positioned adjacent to the agglomerated conductive material and thus does not participate in the lithium intercalation/deintercalation reaction is increased.
