Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for applying magnetic fields to an object, with the aid of a magnetic tool, wherein the application of the magnetic fields is particularly continuous and in particular to a graphite coating, and further in particular for producing an article in the form of a negative electrode with vertically oriented graphite particles For example, for lithium-ion batteries with Schnelliade capability and / or high energy density. It furthermore relates to a negative electrode produced by the method according to the invention and having vertically oriented graphite particles.
• Carbon-based materials find use as active material in Batferie electrodes, in particular negative electrodes.
• Graphite has a layered structure consisting of single carbon layers that can intercalate ions, such as lithium ions in a lithium-ion battery. The layer structure of the graphite is reflected by its occurrence in flake form.
• the flake-shaped graphite particles When using flaky graphite as the active material in an electrode, the flake-shaped graphite particles typically come to lie parallel (horizontally) to an underlying current collector foil. This leads to tangled pore passages through the electrode. The lithium ions that diffuse from the positive electrode into the negative and vice versa must go through this tangled pore path. Particularly in the case of high charge rates, the lithium ions can not move sufficiently fast through the pore channels, resulting in a reduction in usable storage capacity can. By aligning the graphite particles, the path lengths that the lithium ions when charging and discharging, shortened and the charging and discharging properties of an electrochemical storage can be improved.
• the platelet-shaped graphite is often rounded off. However, up to 70% of the original material is lost in the mechanical rounding process.
• EP 2793300 A1 discloses an application for the production of electrodes, wherein magnetic nanoparticles are applied to electrochemically active particles, which in turn are applied as a slurry ("suspension” or "paste") to a substrate and subsequently applied to the particles by a magnetic field
• a slurry or "paste”
• the addition of magnetic nanoparticles in the production of graphite paste which results in the decoration of graphite particles with nanoparticles, may increase the magnetic responsiveness of the graphite particles, it may complicate the process, but may also result in undesirable electrochemical processes due to the addition of magnetic nanoparticles

• the patent US 7326497 B2 describes a negative electrode and its manufacture for use in a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
• a method in which the graphite coating is aligned in a magnetic field having a flux density greater than 0.5 T between two magnets.
• the orientation of the graphite particles in the coating is based on the diamagnetic anisotropy of graphite.
• the diamagnetic susceptibility perpendicular to the (002) plane of the graphite is about 40-50 times as large as the diamagnetic susceptibility perpendicular to the (1 10) plane.
• flux densities of over 1 T and even 2.3 T are proposed. Flux densities in this area are technically difficult to implement, for example, superconducting magnets are required for such high flux density.
• Another patent US 7976984 B2 describes a rechargeable battery in which mechanically rounded graphite particles are aligned in a magnetic field. Although the orientation of the rounded graphite particles in a magnetic field, the path length of the lithium ions can be slightly shortened and thereby the charging and discharging properties are improved, this improvement effect is further enhanced by the use of flaky graphite. However, as mentioned above, up to 70% of the original material is lost in the rounding process.
• the invention is therefore based on the object, a method for applying magnetic fields, in particular for the continuous application of magnetic fields on an object, which is in particular a layer or a coated object with a layer, and further in particular on a graphite coating for producing an article in Form a negative electrode.
• Continuous is defined here as meaning “in a continuous production process” such as “roll-to-roll processing” and not as “continuous”.

• the above-described packing density of the active material graphite is of crucial importance.
• the invention solves this problem by aligning the graphite particles not only along one direction but along two directions.

B. graphite particles in a coating mobile and are aligned by the influence of a changing magnetic field of a magnetic tool according to the invention according to two preferred directions. Both preferred directions are given by the configuration of the magnetic tool and the relative direction of movement of the object and tool. During or after the alignment of the ingredients with the aid of the magnetic tool, the ingredients must be immobilized to complete the process to obtain the alignment in the longer term.
• the immobilization of the aligned components can take place, for example, by drying. Drying is characterized in that a volatile component contained in the coating leaves the coating. In the case of water-based graphite pastes, this volatile component is water.
• the drying leads to the immobilization of the vertically oriented components.
• the drying can be both passive, z. B. due to the ambient temperature, ie not take place supported, as well as active, ie by the targeted drying for example, with a blower.
• the immobilization of the constituents of the layer / coating can also take place by targeted solidification / gelling of the moist layer / coating.
• a method of consolidating / gelling the wet layer / coating, for example using a thermoresponsive component as part of the layer / coating, is disclosed as part of this invention.
• the drying process in which the volatile component is removed can cause the oriented graphite particles to lose their orientation.
• the air drying in the oven by blowers can have a significant influence on the orientation of the oriented particles, in particular, the orientation of the graphite particles, which was achieved by the magnetic tool, lost during drying.
• the loss of alignment of the graphite particles may limit the electrochemical performance of the electrode during charging and discharging.
• a solution to obtain the alignment of the graphite particles during drying is disclosed according to the invention.
• the magnetic tool described here is also used during drying.
• the aligned graphite particles remain aligned during drying.
• this problem can also be solved by the use of a solidifying / gelling component, such as a thermoresponsive component, contained in the paste to be coated.
• a solidifying / gelling component such as a thermoresponsive component
• This component for example, methyl cellulose
• leads under the Heat causes the applied wet coating / layer to solidify without removing the volatile component at the same time.
• the LCST Lower Critical Solution Temperature
• An LCST is frequently observed when polymers such as methylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose containing substituted and unsubstituted anhydroglucose rings, or even polymers such as poly (N-isopropylacrylamides) are components of the mixtures.
• thermoresponsive component such as 0.25wt% in the layer to be coated (equivalent to 0.5wt% in the resulting dry coating at a solids content of 50wt% of the layer to be coated) are sufficient to bring about the solidification of the paste with temperature increase above the LCST ,
• the solidification of the paste, induced by the thermoresponsive component, fixes the graphite particles, so that the alignment, which was previously achieved in the magnetic field of the magnetic tool, is retained in the longer term.
• This allows drying to take place subsequently without the application of a magnetic field, since movement within the coating, e.g. B. by convection, is suppressed and the ingredients, eg. B. graphite particles can not change their orientation.
• This allows to reduce the required amount of magnets needed to maintain vertical alignment. This is particularly advantageous if it is possible in this way to dispense with the installation of expensive high-temperature-resistant magnets in the dryer.
• the adhesion of the coating to a current collector plays a special role.
• a current collector foil for example a copper foil
• the expansion and contraction of the graphite particles, which takes place during the loading and unloading process, can lead to this. This can result in a reduction in the charge and discharge capacity of the battery.
• Possible causes for low adhesion in water-based, negative graphite electrodes are the migration of SBR binder particles during the drying process and a small contact area between graphite particles and the current collector field.
• the orientation of the graphite particles in the liquid paste in the preparation of water-based graphite electrodes and the associated shortened paths can lead to increased binder migration during drying.
• the SBR binder particles can increasingly separate from the interface between coating and straw receiver film, which in turn can lead to poor adhesion.
• the angle of inclination of the graphite particles relative to the stent receiver film may be adjusted through the use of the corresponding magnetic tool during the manufacturing process.
• the angle of inclination of the graphite particles is between 45 ° and 85 °. In this way, a significant portion of the expansion of the graphite particles may take place in the direction away from the current collector foil so that less stress builds up between the graphite coating and the current collector foil, thereby increasing the adhesion to the current collector foil.
• the invention discloses a solution to the problem of reduced adhesion due to binder migration, by the use of a thermoresponsive component contained in the paste to be coated.
• This component for example methylcellulose
• This component under the action of heat causes the applied wet paste to solidify.
• the solidification can thereby reduce the migration of the SBR binder (styrene-butadiene-rubber) particles during the drying phase. This ensures that the concentration of SBR binder particles at the interface between graphite coating and Stromauf compassionfoiie remains sufficiently high and in this way a higher adhesion is achieved.
• the reduced binder migration due to the use of a solidifying component may also allow for higher drying temperatures. Higher drying temperatures are usually avoided because they lead to a stronger binder migration and thus lower adhesion. Higher temperatures, however, allow an accelerated drying of the layer / coating and thus ensure a shortening of the drying time or a higher web speed. Both can lead to cost savings.
• coated films such as graphite coatings on Strom opposition dilemma dilemmas
• processes such as calendering and rolling up of coated films, such as negative electrodes for the production of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, it can lead to delamination and formation of breakages in the coating (production of so-called electrode coils, engl. Jelly Rolls).
• the invention discloses a solution to this problem by the controlled orientation of the graphite particles in relation to the loading or processing direction, which is typically a direction parallel to the film.
• vertically oriented graphite particles can be aligned by the use of the corresponding magnetic tool to an angle of up to 60 °, for example 45 °, with respect to the loading or processing direction of the moving object.
• This may be particularly advantageous when the manufacture and subsequent working (e.g., calendering or rolling up of the article) takes place in the same direction, as this can avoid breakages during processing.
