In the existing battery anode and cathode plate coating process, the thickness of powder at the edge of a current collector is higher than that of the middle part after drying, and a drum edge is generated at a tail-in position, so that belt breakage is caused, and normal production is affected. In order to solve the problem of belt breakage of the drum edge, the common solution is to artificially thin the slurry at the edge of the current collector when the slurry is coated, so that the coating thickness of the edge area of the current collector is smaller than that of the middle area, and the slurry accumulation effect in the drying process is relieved, so that the thickness difference between the edge area and the middle area of the current collector after drying is not too high.
Although the method can reduce the situation of broken belt of the pole piece at the edge of the drum without influencing the production process, the slurry thickness of the edge area is low, the amount of powder (solid matters in the slurry) is small, and the capacity of the battery core is reduced; meanwhile, the thinning degree of the electrode plates is difficult to control, and thinning operation is carried out on the positive and negative electrode plates in the production process, so that abnormal lithium precipitation is caused due to the fact that the thinning degree is inconsistent and the negative electrode at the edge of the positive and negative electrode plates is excessive and insufficient, and the safety performance of the battery cell is affected.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following examples in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
The application provides a battery pole piece coating process, which comprises the following steps: uniformly coating positive/negative electrode slurry containing a dispersing agent on the surface of a current collector, then supplementing the dispersing agent on the edge area of the current collector, and then drying to obtain a corresponding positive/negative electrode plate of the battery; before the drying step, the slurry solid content of the edge region of the current collector is 0.9-1.5% lower than that of the positive/negative electrode slurry.
The inventor surprisingly found that the reason why the powder thickness of the edge area of the battery pole piece is higher than that of the middle area is that the dispersing agent volatilizes in the process of coating and baking the battery pole piece, and the volatilization speed of the dispersing agent in the edge area of the battery pole piece is faster than that of the dispersing agent in the middle area of the battery pole piece due to the difference of the volatilization surface areas of the solvent in the middle area and the edge area of the pole piece, so that the edge is eventually bulged; according to the method, after the slurry is coated and before the drying process, when the dispersing agent is not volatilized, the dispersing agent is supplemented to the current collector, the solid content difference of the slurry in the middle area and the slurry in the edge area is adjusted, the dispersing agent in the edge area volatilizes fast but has high content, the dispersing agent in the middle area is low in content and volatilizes slowly, the movement of the dispersing agent in the drying process is reduced, the stacking effect of powder to the edge area is reduced, the dual effects that the surface density difference of the slurry in the two areas after drying is small and the thickness difference is small are achieved under the condition that the volatilization speed of the dispersing agent in the edge area of the battery pole piece is faster than that of the dispersing agent in the middle area of the battery pole piece, the problem that the pole piece is broken by edge of the pole piece is finally solved, and adverse effects on the capacity and safety of an electric core of the pole piece are avoided.
In this scheme, as shown in fig. 1, the current collector includes a middle region and an edge region, the edge region is a region formed by extending 15-20nm vertically from the end of the current collector to the middle, and the remaining region is a middle region.
The scheme is not only suitable for the positive pole piece but also suitable for the negative pole piece.

When the positive electrode plate is prepared, the drying temperature is 95-110 ℃, the stacking condition is more obvious when the temperature is too high, the thickness difference between the middle area and the edge area is larger, cracks are easy to occur, the electrode plate cannot be dried when the temperature is too low, and the follow-up operation is influenced.

Example 4
A battery pole piece coating process, otherwise the same as in example 2, with a dispersant make-up of 2.78g/m 2

Comparative examples 18 to 24

Evaluation test
The edge thicknesses of the battery pole pieces obtained in the examples and the comparative examples were tested and compared with the thickness of the middle part of the pole piece, and the thickness difference was calculated, and the results are shown in tables 1 and 2.
In examples 1 and 3, the surface densities of the middle region and the edge region of the pole piece were maintained at 180g/m before and after drying 2 The battery is unchanged, has no influence on the capacity of the battery core, and has high safety.
In examples 2 and 4, the surface densities of the middle region and the edge region of the pole piece were maintained at 90g/m before and after drying 2 The battery is unchanged, has no influence on the capacity of the battery core, and has high safety.
Table 1 pole piece test results supplemented with different amounts of N-methylpyrrolidone
According to the result, the N-methyl pyrrolidone which is the same as the dispersant component in the slurry is supplemented according to the supplementing amount of the application, after the slurry is dried, the thickness of the edge area and the thickness of the middle area of the pole piece are basically consistent, and the thickness difference between the edge area and the middle area of the pole piece is larger than or lower than the limiting range of the application, so that the thickness of the edge area and the thickness of the middle area of the pole piece are kept consistent according to the scheme of the application, and the problem of abnormal broken belt of the edge of the pole piece in the coating process is solved; meanwhile, the uniformity of the surface density of the pole piece slurry is ensured, the safety performance of the battery cell is enhanced, and the capacity of the pole piece battery cell is not adversely affected.
Table 2 pole piece test results supplemented with different amounts of ethylene glycol
From the above results, it is known that the situation that the thickness difference between the edge area and the middle area after the pole piece is dried still exists under the conditions that the other dispersing agents of ethylene glycol with different proportions are added, the adding proportion is different, and the solid content of the edge area is controlled to be the same as that of the N-methyl pyrrolidone, and the thickness difference between the edge area and the middle area after the pole piece is dried cannot be reduced by adding the other dispersing agents and changing the proportion, so that the problem of broken belt of the drum edge cannot be solved. The possible reason is that the mixed use of different dispersing agents can cause the failure of the adhesive, so that the slurry is totally failed, has no fluidity and is scrapped; the thickening of the edge area of the slurry is driven by the flow of the original dispersing agent in the slurry, and the supplementing amount of other dispersing agents is low, so that the whole flow belt movement condition of the original slurry dispersing agent is still difficult to resist.
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.
