The utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings by means of specific embodiments. The following examples are merely illustrative of the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
Example 1
In this embodiment, a conventional spray nozzle is used, and a strip having a width of about 1mm to 1.5mm can be obtained by controlling the pressure and the nozzle aperture. Experiments prove that the width of the sprayed capacitor paste strip is most uniform and the spraying stability is highest in the spraying range. Thus, in this application, the width of the spray of the strip of capacitively active material is selected to be between 1mm and 1.5mm. The thickness of the sprayed strip is typically between 1/4 and 1/3 of its width, as measured by testing, and thus the thickness of the sprayed capacitively active material paste strip is typically between 0.25mm and 0.5 mm.
In the embodiment, the width of the capacitor material strip formed by spraying the capacitor material slurry is controlled to be 1mm and the thickness is controlled to be about 0.3mm by controlling the nozzle. The composite lithium battery pole pieces with the spacing of 1.1mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 3.8mm and 4.5mm are prepared by controlling the spacing between two capacitance material strips. Wherein the current collector is a conventional aluminum foil of 12 μm.
Meanwhile, the surface density of the sprayed anode active material is controlled to be 10mg cm 2 Left and right. The capacitance active material is adopted as the active carbon with high specific surface area, and the specific surface area is about 300m 2 The ratio of the capacitance material, the binder PVDF and acetylene black in the capacitance active material paste tape was 90:5:5. Pole pieces of 15mm diameter were prepared and tested in coin cells to discharge at a relatively high 10C (1c=220 mAh/g) current between 3 and 4.6V, with pole piece discharge capacity and median discharge voltage at different capacitor material paste strip spacings as shown in table 1.

The results in Table 1 show that after the spacing between the two strips is greater than 3mm, the pole piece active material 10C discharge capacity and the discharge median voltage are bothSignificantly reduced, representing Li under 10C high current discharge conditions for the capacitively active material paste band + The alleviation of the ion diffusion relaxation benefits is substantially lost. Thus, the spacing between the two strips is typically within 3mm.
Example 2
In this example, we controlled the width of the capacitively-active material paste strip to be 1mm and the height to be about 0.3mm by controlling the nozzle, and the spacing between the two strips was 1.5mm.

Meanwhile, the surface density of the sprayed anode active material is controlled to be 10mg cm 2 Left and right. Wherein the current collector is a conventional aluminum foil of 12 μm. Pole pieces of 15mm diameter were prepared and tested in coin cells to discharge at a relatively high 10C (1c=220 mAh/g) current between 3-4.6V and charge at a constant 2C current and constant voltage (off current 0.05C) with the pole pieces cycled 50 turns. The discharge capacity of the pole piece, the discharge median voltage and the capacity retention after 50 cycles were recorded, and the results are shown in table 2.

The results in Table 2 show that, although increasing the specific surface area of the capacitive active material promotes capacity exertion at 10C and median voltage increase, the specific surface area is as followsArea > 500m 2 After/g, the electrode cycle stability falls below 90%, and as the specific surface area increases, the cycle stability decreases drastically, which is detrimental to the stability of the product in use. Therefore, the specific surface area of the capacitance active material is generally 500m 2 And/g.
