Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in the following in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The pole piece is an important component of a battery, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the pole piece provided by the prior art, and as shown in fig. 1, the pole piece comprises a current collector 1, a functional layer 2 and a pole lug 3, wherein the functional layer 2 is arranged on the surface of the current collector 1, and the thickness of the pole lug 3 is generally higher than that of the functional layer 2, and the pole lug glue is adhered to the surface of the pole lug 3, so that the pole piece is more complicated in structure and poorer in thickness uniformity, and the cycle performance of the battery is easily influenced; particularly, aiming at pole pieces in the pole lugs, how to adjust the pole piece structure and improve the cycle performance of the battery is a technical problem to be solved urgently by the technicians in the field.
To solve the above-mentioned technical problem, a first aspect of the present invention provides a pole piece, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, where the pole piece includes a current collector 1 and a functional layer 2, and the current collector 1 is used as a conductive substrate, and includes a first surface a and a second surface b that are oppositely disposed, where the first surface a includes a first coating area 111, and the second surface b includes a second coating area 121, and the functional layer 2 is disposed on the first coating area 111 and the second coating area 121 of the current collector 1.
According to the difference of the thickness of the functional layer 2 arranged on the second coating area 121, the second coating area 121 comprises a first area 1211 and a second area 1212, the projection of the first area 1211 on the current collector 1 coincides with the projection of the first coating area 111 on the current collector 1, the first area 1211 and the first coating area 111 form a double-sided coating area, namely, the upper surface and the lower surface of the current collector 1 are both provided with the functional layer 2; the projection of the second region 1212 onto the current collector 1 is located in a region outside the projection of the first coating region 111 onto the current collector 1, and the second region 1212 is a single-sided coating region, i.e. only one surface of the second region of the current collector 1 is provided with the functional layer 2.
Further, the second region 1212 is located on the side closer to the tab, and the first region 1211 is located on the side farther from the tab. For the pole piece in the pole lug, the second region 1212 is located at two sides of the pole lug, and the first region 1211 is located at one side of the second region 1212 away from the pole lug.
Those skilled in the art know that the pole piece is generally in a long sheet shape, the direction of the longer side is a length direction, the direction of the shorter side is a thickness direction, the direction of the side between the longer side and the shorter side is a width direction, and the length direction, the width direction and the thickness direction are perpendicular to each other. Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in the present invention, the x direction of the pole piece is the length direction of the pole piece, the z direction is the thickness direction of the pole piece, and the y direction is the width direction of the pole piece.
Along the thickness direction of the pole piece, the highest thickness of the functional layer 2 arranged in the first coating area 111 is W1, the lowest thickness of the functional layer 2 arranged in the first area 1211 is W2, the average thickness of the functional layer 2 arranged in the second area 1212 is W3, W3/(w1+w2) is more than or equal to 0.7, that is, the thickness of the functional layer in the single-sided coating area is not less than 70% of the total thickness of the functional layers in the double-sided coating area, by increasing the thickness of the functional layer in the second area, the difference of the heights of the functional layers and the pole lugs near the pole lugs is compensated, the uniformity of the thickness of the pole piece is improved, and the cycle performance of the battery is improved.
In the present invention, the highest thickness means the maximum value of the thickness of the functional layer 2 of the first coating region 111; the lowest thickness refers to the minimum value of the thickness of the functional layer 2 disposed in the first region 1211, and the average thickness refers to the average value of the thickness of the functional layer 2 disposed in the second region 1212.
In the pole piece preparation process, functional layer slurry is prepared first and coated on different areas of a current collector according to thickness requirements, then, the pole piece is rolled, in the rolling process, the functional layer 2 arranged in the second area 1212 of the current collector 1 can downwards squeeze the current collector 1, so that the second area 1212 is downwards recessed towards the direction of the first coating area 111, a recessed part is formed in the current collector 1, the space formed by the recessed part can accommodate the functional layer 2 of the second area 1212, the surface of the functional layer 2, far away from the current collector 1, is positioned on the same plane, and the flatness of the pole piece is ensured.
With continued reference to fig. 2, as the second region 1212 is recessed, at least a portion of the first region 1211 is bent in a direction toward the first coating region 111 and forms a bent portion, which is connected to the second region 1212.
Further, with continued reference to fig. 2, along the z-direction of the pole piece, the minimum value of the thickness of the functional layer 2 located on the bent portion of the second surface b is equal to W2, and the maximum value is equal to W3; the minimum value of the thickness of the functional layer 2 on the bending part of the first surface a is 0, and the maximum value is equal to W1. That is, the thickness of the functional layer 2 disposed at the bent portion of the second surface b gradually increases, and the thickness of the functional layer 2 disposed at the bent portion of the first surface a gradually decreases along the length direction of the current collector 1; the thickness of the functional layer in the bending area is changed, so that the uniformity of the thickness of the pole piece is improved, and the cycle performance of the battery is improved.
With continued reference to fig. 3 to 4, the first surface a of the current collector 1 further includes a first empty foil region 112, and the second surface b further includes a second empty foil region 122, where the first empty foil region 112 or the second empty foil region 122 is used for connecting the tab 3.
Further, the projection of the second empty foil region 122 onto the current collector 1 is within the projection of the first empty foil region 112 onto the current collector 1, i.e. the length of the first empty foil region 112 is greater than the length of the second empty foil region 122.
Further, the total area of the second empty foil region 122 and the second region 1212 is not greater than the area of the first empty foil region 112. Further, the area of the second region 1212 is 10% -100% of the area of the first empty foil region 112.
When the area of the second region 1212 is 100% of the area of the first empty foil region 112, the structure is as shown in fig. 5 to 7, and it can be seen that the second surface b of the current collector 1 does not include the second empty foil region, i.e. the regions corresponding to the first empty foil region 112 are all coated with the functional layer 2, which is helpful for improving the coating area of the functional layer and improving the energy density of the battery.
As shown in fig. 8, the pole piece provided by the invention further comprises a pole lug 3, one end of the pole lug 3 is connected with the surface of the current collector 1, the other end extends outwards along the y direction, and the pole lug 3 is arranged in the first empty foil area 112 or the second empty foil area 122. According to different types of pole pieces, different materials can be selected as the current collector 1 and the pole lug 3, for example, an aluminum foil can be adopted as the positive pole piece, a copper foil can be selected as the current collector for the negative pole piece, and the manufacturing materials of the pole lug 3 are different according to different types of pole pieces and can be metal materials such as copper, nickel and aluminum.
Further, in order to facilitate preparation of the pole piece, the distance between the functional layer 2 and the pole lug 3 along the x direction of the pole piece is 0.5-4 mm.
In a specific embodiment, the functional layer 2 includes a protective layer 21 and an active material layer 22, where the protective layer 21 and the active material layer 22 are sequentially stacked on the surface of the current collector 1, and the arrangement of the protective layer 21 helps to reduce the short circuit probability between the current collector and the pole piece, and improve the safety of the battery. Based on the current coating process, the distances between the protective layer 21 and the active material layer 22 and the tab 3 cannot be completely consistent, and there are cases where the protective layer 21 exceeds the active material layer 22 or where the active material layer 22 exceeds the protective layer 21, however, both cases are not beneficial to the improvement of the battery performance; specifically, when the protective layer 21 exceeds the active material layer 22, the thickness of the exceeding area is reduced compared with other areas, and in the hot press molding process, the stress of the area is insufficient, so that the interface contact between the pole piece and the diaphragm in the area is not firm, and in the cyclic charge and discharge process of the battery, the migration of ions is influenced, so that the ions are separated out after the battery is cycled for a certain number of times, and the capacity loss is caused; when the active material layer 22 exceeds the protective layer 21, the region is in direct contact with the current collector, electrons in the region are directly conducted to the active material layer by the current collector, and compared with the case that electrons in most regions of the electrode plates are conducted to the protective layer by the current collector and then conducted to the active material layer, electrons in the region are conducted more rapidly, ions are more favorable to be separated out in the charging process, positive electrode dynamics of the region are better, so that ion embedding pressure of the corresponding electrode plates is increased, ion separation risk of the corresponding negative electrode of the region is increased compared with that of the negative electrode of other regions, and the cycle stability of the battery is affected.
For the above reasons, the present invention keeps the edges of the protective layer 21 and the active material layer 22 close to the tab 3 as uniform as possible, and specifically, the distances between the protective layer 21 and the active material layer 22 and the tab 3 differ by not more than 0.5mm.
Further, the distance D2 between the protective layer 21 and the tab 3 is smaller than the distance D1 between the active material layer 22 and the tab 3, and the distance difference (D1-D2) between the protective layer and the active material layer and the tab is not greater than 0.1mm.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 9 to 12, when the width of the second empty foil region 122 is smaller than the width of the current collector 1, the second region 1212 includes a first side c, a second side d, and a third side e, and the first side c, the second side d, and the third side e form the second empty foil region 122 for placing the tab 3;
the distance between the protective layer 21 and the active material layer 22 and the first side c is D3, the distance between the protective layer 21 and the active material layer 22 and the second side D is D4, the distance between the protective layer 21 and the active material layer 22 and the third side e is D5, D3 > D4, and D3 > D5. That is, the length of the exposed protective layer 21 below the tab is greater than the length of the exposed protective layers on both sides of the tab, and the lengths D4 and D5 of the exposed protective layers on both sides of the tab may be the same or different.
Further, in order to avoid wrinkles in the tab connection area caused by deformation in different directions, the flatness of the pole piece is improved, and the flatness of the first side c is better than that of the second side d and the third side e. With continued reference to fig. 9 and 11, along the y-direction of the pole piece, the height difference of the current collectors 1 located at two sides of the first side c is H1; along the length direction of the pole piece, the height difference of the current collectors 1 positioned at the two sides of the second side edge d is H2, the height difference of the current collectors 1 positioned at the two sides of the third side edge e is H3, H1 is less than H2, and H1 is less than H3.
In one embodiment, the protective layer 21 includes inorganic particles and a binder, wherein the inorganic particles are a material that does not contain active lithium, including at least one of an insulating material and a conductive material; the insulating material is selected from one or more of aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, silicon oxide, boehmite, cobalt oxide, ferric phosphate, aluminum phosphate, ferric metaphosphate and aluminum metaphosphate; the conductive material is at least one selected from ATO (Sb-doped SnO 2), FTO (F-doped SnO 2), ITO (Sn-doped In2O 3) and AZO (Al-doped ZnO), or at least one selected from alumina, magnesia, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, silicon oxide, boehmite, cobalt oxide, ferric phosphate, aluminum phosphate, ferric metaphosphate, aluminum metaphosphate, lithium iron phosphate, nickel cobalt lithium manganate, lithium cobalt oxide and lithium titanate which are coated by at least one material selected from carbon black, carbon nano tube, graphene and ATO, FTO, ITO, AZO.
Further, when the inorganic particles of the protective layer are selected from insulating materials, the protective layer further includes a conductive agent. Still further, the inorganic particles are preferably conductive materials.
The binder comprises one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), acrylic modified PVDF, polyacrylate polymer, polyimide, styrene-butadiene rubber and styrene-acrylic rubber.
The active material layer 22 includes an active material, a conductive agent, and a binder, and the active material may be selected according to the type of the electrode sheet, for example, when the electrode sheet is a positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode active material is a lithium-containing transition metal oxide such as one or more of lithium cobaltate, lithium nickel cobalt manganate, lithium nickel cobalt aluminate, lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganate, and lithium-rich manganese-based materials; when the pole piece is a negative pole piece, the negative pole active substance is one or more of silicon, silicon carbon, siOx (0 < X < 2), lithium silicon alloy, artificial graphite, natural graphite, hard carbon, soft carbon and mesophase carbon microspheres.
In general, the thickness of the protective layer 21 is 1/20 to 1/5 of the thickness of the active material layer 22.
The preparation method of the pole piece provided by the invention comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing protective layer slurry and active material layer slurry, coating the protective layer slurry and the active material layer slurry on the surface of a current collector, and drying to obtain a functional layer; and secondly, removing the functional layer to form a first empty foil area and a second empty foil area, wherein the binding force between the protective layer and the current collector after NMP spraying is less than 100N/m in order to completely remove the protective layer and the active substance layer from the current collector. In order to meet the requirements, the formula of the protective layer is specially limited, the content of the binder is not more than 8%, otherwise, the binding property between the functional layer and the current collector is good, and the functional layer and the current collector are difficult to thoroughly clean; and finally, welding a tab on the first empty foil area or the second empty foil area, and pasting tab gummed paper to obtain the pole piece.
The pole piece structure provided by the invention is suitable for the positive pole piece and/or the negative pole piece, and can be set according to actual needs.
