Description

Electrode slurry coating system with excellent coating uniformity and coating method using the same

The present invention relates to an electrode slurry coating system having excellent coating uniformity and a coating method using the same.

With the increase in technology development and demand for mobile devices, the demand for secondary batteries is also rapidly increasing. Among them, a lithium secondary battery is widely used as an energy source for various electronic products as well as various mobile devices in that it has high energy density and operating voltage and excellent preservation and lifespan characteristics.

As the field of application for secondary batteries is widened, the demand for higher-capacity secondary batteries is rapidly increasing. As a method of increasing the capacity of a secondary battery, research is being conducted on a technique for increasing the loading amount of the electrode mixture layer. Electrodes for secondary batteries are manufactured through drying and rolling processes after coating the electrode slurry on a current collector. However, in order to increase the loading of the electrode mixture layer, it is necessary to coat a large amount of electrode slurry on the current collector. In order to increase the coating amount of the electrode slurry, a higher level of coating uniformity is required.

1 is a perspective view showing a conventional electrode slurry coating system. Referring to FIG. 1 , the electrode slurry slot die 20 discharges the electrode slurry on the current collector layer 30 passing over the coating roll 10 rotating in one direction (R). Specifically, the current collector layer 30 is transferred in the MD direction (Mechanical Direction, F) while passing on the coating roll 10 rotating in one direction (R). The electrode slurry slot die 20 discharges the electrode slurry on the current collector layer 30 through the electrode slurry discharge unit 21 , and through this, the electrode slurry of a specific width D is coated on the current collector layer 30 . A portion 31 is formed.

In order to keep the thickness of the electrode slurry coating part 31 constant, the distance between the electrode slurry discharge part 21 and the coating roll 10 should be controlled uniformly. Conventionally, there has been an attempt to change the position or outer diameter of the coating roll 10 in consideration of the external temperature of the electrode slurry coating system.

However, this attempt does not take into account the temperature of the discharged electrode slurry. The outside temperature of the electrode slurry coating system can be controlled through an air conditioning system in the facility. However, the temperature change of the electrode slurry discharged from the electrode slurry slot die 20 is induced within a certain range due to a variable such as a process step or a heating time. Typically, the electrode slurry slot die 20 is designed and manufactured with the intention of discharging electrode slurry of a specific temperature. The temperature change of the electrode slurry induces a minute displacement or deformation of the electrode slurry discharge part 21 , which causes the thickness of the electrode slurry coating part 31 to be non-uniform.

Therefore, there is a need for a technique capable of implementing coating uniformity in response to the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the slot die when coating the electrode slurry.

Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2018-158278

An object of the present invention is to provide an electrode slurry coating system capable of implementing coating uniformity in response to the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from a slot die, and a coating method using the same.

The present invention provides an electrode slurry coating system. In one example, the electrode slurry coating system according to the present invention, the electrode slurry slot die for discharging the electrode slurry; a coating roll for supporting and transferring the current collector layer; a current collector layer on which the electrode slurry discharged from the electrode slurry slot die is coated on one side or both sides but transferred along the coating roll; and a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the electrode slurry slot die. In a specific example, the coating roll may include a hollow cylindrical roller body; a rotating shaft fastened to both side ends of the roller body to support the roller body and to apply a rotational force to the roller body; an inner hollow member positioned in a predetermined area based on the width direction of the roller body, formed to be in close contact with the roller body from the inside of the roller body, and having a different coefficient of thermal expansion from the roller body; and a temperature control member positioned inside the roller body to heat or cool the roller body.

In one example, the electrode slurry coating system according to the present invention has a _{form (CTE R} < CTE _I ) in which the _{coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE R} ) of the roller body is smaller than the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE _{I ) of the inner hollow member.}

In a specific example, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE _R ) of the roller body is in the range of 10x10 ^-6 to 14x10 ^-6 (m/m°C), and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE _I ) of ^{the inner hollow member is 15x10 -6} to 19x10 ^-6 (m/m°C) range.

In another example, when the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset reference temperature, the temperature control member heats the coating roll, and the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by the temperature sensor is If it is less than the preset reference temperature, the temperature control member further includes a control unit for controlling to cool the coating roll.

In a specific example, when the coating roll is heated by the temperature control member, the coating roll forms a crown structure.

In another specific example, when the coating roll is cooled by the temperature control member, the coating roll forms an inverted crown structure.

In one example, the temperature control member is a heat medium flow path formed in the width direction of the roller body.

In another example, the temperature control member includes a heating coil and a cooling passage.

In addition, the present invention provides an electrode slurry coating method using the electrode slurry coating system described above. In one example, in the electrode slurry coating method according to the present invention, when the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset reference temperature, the temperature control member heats the coating roll, and the temperature measured by the temperature sensor When the temperature of the electrode slurry is less than a preset reference temperature, the temperature control member controls the coating roll to cool.

In a specific example, the preset reference temperature is set within the range of 22 to 24°C.

In another specific example, when the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset reference temperature, the coating roll is heated in a range of 25 to 50°C. In addition, when the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by the temperature sensor is less than a preset reference temperature, the coating roll is cooled in the range of 5 to 20 °C.

The electrode slurry system and method according to the present invention enables uniform electrode slurry coating by constantly controlling the gap between the discharge port of the electrode slurry slot die and the current collector layer despite the temperature change of the electrode slurry.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. Prior to this, the terms or words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed as being limited to conventional or dictionary meanings, and the inventor should properly understand the concept of the term in order to best describe his invention. It should be interpreted as meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of the present invention based on the principle that it can be defined in

The present invention provides an electrode slurry coating system. In one embodiment, the electrode slurry coating system according to the present invention, the electrode slurry slot die for discharging the electrode slurry; a coating roll for supporting and transferring the current collector layer; a current collector layer on which the electrode slurry discharged from the electrode slurry slot die is coated on one side or both sides but transferred along the coating roll; and a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the electrode slurry slot die. Specifically, the coating roll may include a hollow cylindrical roller body; a rotating shaft fastened to both side ends of the roller body to support the roller body and to apply a rotational force to the roller body; an inner hollow member positioned in a predetermined area based on the width direction of the roller body, formed to be in close contact with the roller body from the inside of the roller body, and having a different coefficient of thermal expansion from the roller body; and a temperature control member positioned inside the roller body to heat or cool the roller body.

In the present invention, it was confirmed that the discharging part of the electrode slurry slot die was displaced or deformed according to the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the electrode slurry slot die. The shape of the coating roll is changed to correspond to the displacement or deformation of the slot die discharging portion to achieve uniform discharging. Specifically, the electrode slurry slot die is designed based on a case in which the temperature of the electrode slurry is at a specific temperature, for example, 23°C. However, in the actual process, the discharge temperature of the electrode slurry varies in the range of, for example, 20 to 26°C. This change in the discharge temperature of the electrode slurry causes a slight deformation or displacement of the discharge portion of the electrode slurry slot die. Specifically, in the discharge portion of the electrode slurry slot die, depending on the temperature of the electrode slurry, the central portion and both side portions show different degrees of thermal expansion due to a structural difference. By inducing deformation of the coating roll to correspond to the deformation of the discharge portion of the electrode slurry slot die, the distance between the discharge portion of the electrode slurry slot die and the current collector layer carried by the coating roll is uniformly controlled.

The inventors of the present invention confirmed that, through various and repeated experiments and observations, when the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the slot die was lower than the reference value (23° C.), both sides of the discharge part contracted to a greater width than the center. . Conversely, when the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the slot die was higher than the reference value (23° C.), it was confirmed that both sides of the discharge part expanded to a greater extent in the center.

Specifically, the coating roll is a roller positioned in a region corresponding to the discharge portion of the electrode slurry slot die. That is, the coating roll is located in the region where the electrode slurry is discharged from the electrode slurry slot die. The coating roll, a hollow cylindrical roller body; a rotating shaft fastened to both side ends of the roller body to support the roller body and to apply a rotational force to the roller body; an inner hollow member positioned in a predetermined area based on the width direction of the roller body, formed to be in close contact with the roller body from the inside of the roller body, and having a different coefficient of thermal expansion from the roller body; and a temperature control member positioned inside the roller body to heat or cool the roller body. The coating roll is heated or cooled by the temperature control member located inside the coating roll. At this time, the outer diameter of each area of the coating roll is changed due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the roller body and the inner hollow member.

In one embodiment, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE _R ) of the roller body is smaller than the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE _{I ) of the inner hollow member (CTE R} < CTE _I ). In this case, the inner vertical hole member is located at the center with respect to the longitudinal direction of the coating roll. When the coating roll is heated by the temperature control member, the inner hollow member having a large coefficient of thermal expansion expands while supporting the roller body. As a result, the coating roll forms a crown structure with a convex center. Conversely, when the coating roll is cooled by the temperature control member, the inner hollow member having a large coefficient of thermal expansion is shrunk to a greater width than the roller body, and has a shape that does not interfere with the contraction of the roller body. In this state, the roller body contracts. However, since both side ends of the roller body are fixed to the rotation shaft, the contraction of the roller body in the corresponding area is inhibited. As a result, the coating roll forms an inverted crown structure with a concave center.

In a specific embodiment, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE _R ) of the roller body is in the range of 10x10 ^-6 to 14x10 ^-6 (m/m°C), and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE _I ) of ^{the inner hollow member is 15x10 -6} to 19x10 ^{− 6} (m/m°C). For example, the roller body is formed of a carbon steel material, and the inner hollow member is formed of a stainless material.

In one embodiment, the electrode slurry coating system according to the present invention includes a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the electrode slurry, and a controller for controlling the temperature control member of the coating roll according to the measured value of the temperature sensor. In a specific example, when the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset reference temperature, the temperature control member heats the coating roll, and the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by the temperature sensor is set to a preset reference temperature When the temperature is lower than the temperature, the temperature control member includes a control unit for controlling to cool the coating roll.

In a specific embodiment, when the coating roll is heated by the temperature control member, the coating roll forms a crown structure. In another specific embodiment, upon cooling of the coating roll by the temperature control member, the coating roll forms an inverted crown structure.

In one embodiment, the temperature control member is a heat medium flow path formed in the width direction of the roller body. In the present invention, by forming the heat medium flow path with the temperature control member, it is possible to control the heating or cooling of the coating roll by setting the temperature of the supplied heat medium to high or low. In this case, heating and cooling of the coating roll may be performed using a single flow path.

In another embodiment, the temperature control member includes a heating coil and a cooling passage. The heating coil heats the coating roll, and the cooling passage cools the coating roll.

In addition, the present invention provides an electrode slurry coating method using the electrode slurry coating system described above. In one embodiment, in the electrode slurry coating method according to the present invention, when the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset reference temperature, the temperature control member heats the coating roll, and the temperature is measured by the temperature sensor When the temperature of the electrode slurry is lower than a preset reference temperature, the temperature control member controls the coating roll to cool.

Deformation is induced in the discharge portion of the electrode slurry slot die by the temperature of the discharged electrode slurry. In the present invention, the shape of the coating roll is changed to correspond to the deformation of the discharge part of the electrode slurry slot die.

In a specific embodiment, the preset reference temperature described above is in the range of 22 to 24°C, for example, 23°C. When the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the slot die is lower than the reference value (23° C.), both sides of the discharge portion are shrunk to a greater width than the central portion. In this case, the coating roll is cooled to form an inverted crown structure. Through this, the gap between the coating part of the electrode slurry slot die and the coating roll is uniformly controlled. Conversely, when the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the slot die is higher than the reference value (23° C.), both sides of the discharge portion expand to a greater extent at the center portion. In this case, the coating roll is heated to form a crown structure. Through this, the gap between the coating part of the electrode slurry slot die and the coating roll is uniformly controlled.

In one embodiment, in the electrode slurry coating method according to the present invention, when the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset reference temperature, the coating roll is heated in the range of 25 to 50° C., and the temperature sensor When the temperature of the electrode slurry measured by is less than the preset reference temperature, the coating roll is cooled in the range of 5 to 20 ℃.

The electrode slurry refers to a composition of a slurry state including an electrode active material. The positive electrode or negative electrode means an electrode for a secondary battery, specifically, an electrode for a lithium secondary battery.

In one example, the electrode means a positive electrode and/or a negative electrode of a lithium secondary battery.

The positive electrode has a structure in which a positive electrode active material layer having a two-layer structure is laminated on a positive electrode current collector. In one example, the positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, a conductive material, and a binder polymer, and if necessary, may further include a positive electrode additive commonly used in the art.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. Since the present invention can have various changes and can have various forms, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the text. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to the specific disclosed form, it should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents and substitutes included in the spirit and scope of the present invention.

(First embodiment)

2 is a right cross-sectional view of a coating roll applied to an electrode slurry coating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2, the coating roll 100 is a hollow cylindrical roller body 110; a rotation shaft 130 fastened to both ends of the roller body 100 to support the roller body 100 and to apply a rotational force to the roller body 100 ; It is located in a predetermined area based on the width direction of the roller body 100 , and includes an inner hollow member 120 formed to be in close contact with the roller body 100 from the inside of the roller body 100 . The roller body 110 and the inner hollow member 120 are formed of materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion. For example, the roller body 110 is formed of a carbon steel material, and the inner hollow member 120 is formed of a stainless material. In addition, although not shown in FIG. 2 , a temperature control member including a heat medium flow path is formed inside the coating roll 100 .

In FIG. 2 , the inner hollow member 120 has a structure formed in about 30% of the central portion of the coating roll 100 in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the inner hollow member 120 ^{is formed of a stainless material having a thermal expansion coefficient of about 17.3x10 -6} (m/m°C) level. The roller body 110 is formed of a carbon steel material having a coefficient of thermal expansion of about 12.1x10 ^{-6 (m/m°C).}

In the present invention, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the inner hollow member 120 is relatively larger than that of the roller body 110 formed on the outside. Accordingly, when the coating roll 100 is heated, the inner hollow member 120 expands and pushes up the roller body 120 to the outside, and the coating roll 100 forms a crown structure. Conversely, when the coating roll 100 is cooled, the inner hollow member 120 contracts and does not interfere with the contraction of the roller body 120 . In this case, the coating roll 100 forms an inverted crown structure while the rotation shaft 130 fastened to both side ends suppresses the contraction of the roller body 120 .

(Second embodiment)

3 is a plan view of an electrode slurry coating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a case in which the temperature of the discharged electrode slurry is 26°C higher than 23°C, which is a design reference value of the electrode slurry slot die 201 . When the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the electrode slurry slot die 201 is higher than the reference value (23° C.), both sides of the electrode slurry discharge portion expand to a greater width than the center portion. In this case, the coating roll 200 is heated to 40° C. using a temperature control member. As the coating roll 200 is heated, the inner hollow member expands and pushes up the roller body 210 , and both side ends are fixed to the rotation shaft 230 to suppress the expansion of the roller body 210 . As a result, the roller body 210 forms a crown structure with a convex center. Through this, the distance between the discharge part of the electrode slurry slot die 201 and the coating roll 200 is uniformly controlled.

4 is a result of measuring the temperature distribution and displacement according to the heating of the coating roll. Specifically, in Figure 4, the result of heating the coating roll to 40 ℃, the temperature distribution according to the color was displayed. In addition, the lower graph is the result of measuring the displacement in the longitudinal direction when the coating roll is heated.

4, based on the cross-section of the coating roll, the center is a relatively high temperature and the periphery is a relatively low temperature. At this time, the cylindrical coating roll expands from the center to the periphery (Z direction) based on the circular cross section. When viewed in the longitudinal direction (X direction), the coating roll has a structure in which the central portion expands by about 0.045 mm and the side end expands by about 0.035 mm. As a result, the coating roll forms a crown structure.

(Third embodiment)

5 is a plan view of an electrode slurry coating system according to another embodiment of the present invention. 5 is a case in which the temperature of the discharged electrode slurry is 20° C. lower than the 23° C. design reference value of the electrode slurry slot die 301 . When the temperature of the electrode slurry discharged from the electrode slurry slot die 301 is lower than the reference value (23° C.), both sides of the electrode slurry discharge portion are shrunk to a greater extent in the center. In this case, the coating roll 300 is cooled to 10° C. using a temperature control member. As the coating roll 300 cools, the inner hollow member contracts to a greater width without interfering with the contraction of the roller body 210 , and both side ends of the roller body are fixed to the rotating shaft 330 to suppress the contraction. As a result, the roller body 310 forms an inverted crown structure with a concave center. Through this, the distance between the discharge part of the electrode slurry slot die 301 and the coating roll 300 is uniformly controlled.

6 is a result of measuring the temperature distribution and displacement according to the cooling of the coating roll. Specifically, FIG. 6 shows the result of cooling the coating roll to 10° C., and thus the temperature distribution is indicated by color. In addition, the lower graph is the result of measuring the displacement in the longitudinal direction when the coating roll is cooled.

Referring to FIG. 6 , based on the cross-section of the coating roll, the center is a relatively low temperature and the periphery is a relatively high temperature. At this time, the cylindrical coating roll shrinks from the center to the periphery (Z direction) based on the circular cross section. When viewed in the longitudinal direction (X direction), the coating roll has a structure in which the central portion is shrunk by about 0.035 mm and the side end is shrunk by about 0.025 mm. As a result, the coating roll will form an inverted crown structure.

Above, the present invention has been described in more detail through drawings and examples. However, the configuration described in the drawings or embodiments described in the present specification is only one embodiment of the present invention and does not represent all the technical spirit of the present invention, so at the time of the present application, various equivalents and It should be understood that there may be variations.
