Description

NEGATIVE ELECTRODE FOR BATTERY AND LITHIUM ION BATTERY
USING THE SAME
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a negative electrode for battery and a lithium ion battery comprising the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Presently, most commercial lithium ion batteries adopt carbonaceous material as negative electrode material. The carbonaceous material has abundant resource and high lithium ion storage capacity; lithium ions can rapidly carry out intercalation and deintercalation reactions in carbonaceous material; therefore carbonaceous material plays an important role in lithium ion batteries. But when carbonaceous material is adopted as negative electrode material for lithium ion batteries, owing to intrinsic properties of carbonaceous material (such as low diffusion rate of lithium ions in carbonaceous material), the prepared lithium ion secondary batteries have some unconquerable shortcomings, such as poor high-rate discharge-charge performance. During high-rate discharging-charging, the lithium ion secondary batteries show severe polarization, i.e. metal lithium is separated out on carbon electrode surface to form lithium dendrites and thus cause safety issue. For improving high-rate discharge-charge performance of lithium ion secondary batteries, many researchers have done large amounts of study. They have found that when lithium titanium oxide compound is adopted as negative electrode material, lithium ions have high diffusion rate in the material, electric potential relative to metal lithium of 1.55V, and no formation of SEI (solid electrolyte interface) film; therefore lithium titanium oxide compound has considerable application potential in negative electrode material. But due to poor electronic conduction performance, the battery using that material as negative electrode material has poor high-rate discharge-charge performance. Therefore, researchers have tried to add some conductive agent to improve high-rate discharge-charge performance of the battery, for example, CN 1841820A discloses a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, in which spinel lithium titanate is adopted as main material for negative electrode active material, and carbonaceous material with d002 value of 0.335-0.34nm and volume density less than O.lg/cm3 is added into the negative electrode active material. The method for preparing the negative electrode of the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprises mixing spinel lithium titanate as negative electrode active material, carbonaceous material as conductive agent, and binder to form negative electrode material, loading on a negative electrode current collector, and pressing to give a negative electrode; wherein the carbonaceous material has content of 5-20wt% by total weight of the negative electrode material.
A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is also disclosed in CN 1728442A, which comprises a case, non-aqueous electrolyte comprising linear sulfite ester in the case, an negative electrode capable of absorbing/releasing lithium element or ion in the case, and a negative electrode comprising lithium titanium oxide compound and carbonaceous material in the case. The negative electrode preparation method comprises preparing slurry with 70-96wt% of lithium titanium oxide compound as negative electrode active material, 2-28wt% of carbonaceous material as conductive agent, and 2-28wt% of binder; coating the slurry on a negative electrode current collector, drying, pressing, and cutting to give a negative electrode.
The aforementioned non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery adopts lithium titanium oxide compound as negative electrode active material and adds carbonaceous material as conductive agent to improves conductive performance of the negative electrode, thus effectively improves high-rate discharge-charge performance of the battery; but due to low specific capacity (theoretic capacity of 175mAh/g) of lithium titanium oxide compound, the lithium ion battery using the lithium titanium oxide compound mixed with conductive agent amount of carbonaceous material as negative electrode active material has low capacity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of low capacity and low voltage in available lithium ion batteries with high-rate discharge-charge performance and safety performance, and provide a negative electrode for lithium ion battery with high capacity, high voltage, and desirable high-rate discharge-charge performance and safety performance, and a lithium ion battery comprising the same.
The present invention provides a negative electrode for battery comprising a current collector and a negative electrode material coat on the current collector, the said negative electrode material comprises carbonaceous material, binder, and lithium titanium oxide compound, wherein in the negative electrode material coat, the carbonaceous material has total weight percentage content higher than that of the lithium titanium oxide compound; and the negative electrode material coat, comprises at least two layers; in the outermost layer of the negative electrode material coat, the carbonaceous material has weight percentage content lower than that of the lithium titanium oxide compound; in other layers of the negative electrode material coat, the carbonaceous material has weight percentage content higher than that of the lithium titanium oxide compound. The present invention also provides a lithium ion battery comprising a case, a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and electrolyte, and the positive electrode, negative electrode, separator, and electrolyte are sealed in the battery case, wherein the negative electrode is the negative electrode provided by the present invention.
For improving electric capacity and voltage of lithium ion battery with desirable high-rate discharge-charge performance and safety performance, the inventor of the present invention has found that by increasing carbonaceous material content in the negative electrode material, the prepared battery has both increased capacity and voltage, but the battery has significantly lowered cycle performance, high-rate discharge- charge performance and safety performance (refer to the following comparison example 1). The inventor of the present invention has accidentally found that lithium ion battery has improved performance when in negative electrode material coat, total weight percentage content of carbonaceous material is higher than that of lithium titanium oxide compound; and the negative electrode material is coated by layer, the carbonaceous material has weight percentage content lower than that of lithium titanium oxide compound in the outermost layer of the negative electrode material coat, and the carbonaceous material has weight percentage content higher than that of lithium titanium oxide compound in other layers of the negative electrode material coat.
The experiment result shows that the lithium ion battery prepared by using the negative electrode in the present invention has capacity higher than 97OmAh and voltage higher than 3.6V; while the available lithium ion batteries (comparison example 2) with high-rate discharge-charge performance and safety performance has capacity of 648mAh and voltage less than 3.2V. Additionally, the lithium ion battery using the negative electrode provided by the present invention has cycle performance, high-rate discharge-charge performance, and safety performance all equivalent to those of available lithium ion batteries with high-rate discharge-charge performance and safety performance. The button battery using the negative electrode provided by the present invention has capacity higher than 1.8mAh, while the button battery using the available negative electrode has capacity of 1.08mAh. Thus, the lithium ion battery using the negative electrode provided by the present invention has high capacity and voltage, excellent cycle performance, and desirable high-rate discharge-charge performance and safety performance.
