技术领域
本申请属于电化学技术领域,更具体地说,本申请涉及一种正极极片和包括该正极极片的电化学装置。
背景技术
锂离子电池由于具备能量密度大、输出功率高、循环寿命长和环境污染小等优点而被广泛应用于电动汽车以及消费类电子产品中。然而锂离子电池在受到挤压、碰撞或穿刺等异常情况时很容易发生着火、爆炸,从而引起严重危害。因此锂离子电池的安全问题很大程度地限制了锂离子电池的应用和普及。
大量实验结果表明,电池内短路是造成锂离子电池安全隐患的根本所在。为了避免发生电池内短路,研究者们试图从许多方面来进行改进,其中包括利用PTC材料的特性来提升锂离子电池的安全性能方面的研究。PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient)材料即正温度系数热敏材料,它具有电阻率随温度升高而增大的特性,当温度超过一定的温度时,它的电阻率呈阶跃性的迅速增高。
在利用PTC材料的特性来提升锂离子电池的安全性能方面的研究中,有些研究是在电池的电极活性材料层中添加PTC材料。当电池温度升高时,PTC材料的电阻增大,从而导致整个电极活性材料层的电阻变大,甚至使得整个电极活性材料层的导电通路被破坏,从而起到断电、阻止电化学反应继续进行的安全效 果。然而在这种改进方式中,在电极活性材料层中添加的PTC材料会对电池的电化学性能产生不良的影响。
还有些研究是在电池的集流体与电极活性材料层之间单独设置PTC材料层(安全涂层)。当电池温度升高时,PTC材料层的电阻增大,从而使得集流体与电极活性材料层之间电阻增大、甚至断电,从而起到阻止电化学反应继续进行的安全效果。然而在这种改进方式中,在PTC材料层表面涂覆活性物质浆料时,浆料中的溶剂(如NMP等)会将PTC层中的PTC材料溶解,并进入上层活性物质层中,不仅使PTC层失去PTC效应,而且会恶化电性能。另外,在极片制作过程中的压实步骤中,PTC材料层极易被挤压至边缘,导致电极活性材料层与集流体直接接触,从而失去提高安全性能的作用。另外,PTC材料层的响应速度、阻断电流的效果等性能均需要大幅改善。
有鉴于此,确有必要提供一种能够解决上述问题的具有改善的安全性和电池性能的极片及电池。
发明内容

具体实施方式
本申请公开了一种正极极片,包括集流体、正极活性材料层和设置于集流体与正极活性材料层之间的安全涂层,所述安全涂层包含高分子基体和导电材料。
图1示出了根据本申请某些实施例的正极极片的结构示意图,其中10—集流体,14—正极活性材料层,12—安全涂层(即PTC安全涂层)。
易于理解的是,虽然图1中示出的是仅在正极极集流体10的单面设置PTC安全涂层12和正极活性材料层14,但在其他实施例中,正极集流体10可以在双面设置PTC安全涂层12和正极活性材料层14。
安全涂层12和正极活性材料层14分别形成在集流体上10之后,两者粘结在一起,在外观上不易区分。将涂层从集流体上剥离,一般也会得到一个涂层整体。因此,通常将安全涂层和正极活性材料层统称为正极膜片层(或简称膜片层)。
常规PTC安全涂层包括高分子基体材料、导电材料和可选的粘结剂,其作用原理为:在常温下,安全涂层依靠导电材料之间形成的良好的导电网络,进行电子传导;温度升高时,高分子基体材料的体积开始膨胀,导电材料颗粒之间间距增大,导电网络被部分阻隔,安全涂层的电阻逐渐增大;而当达到一定的温度(例如作动温度)时,导电网络几乎完全被隔断,电流趋近为零,从而保护使用该安全涂层的电化学装置。
在传统的用于电池中的具有PTC效应的涂层中,通常使用聚乙烯、聚丙烯或乙烯丙烯共聚物等作为PTC基体材料,这种情况下需要在PTC基体材料和导电材料中额外加入粘结剂,粘结剂含量过小则涂层与金属集流体的粘结性较差,粘结剂含量过大则会影响到PTC效应的响应温度和响应速度等性能。为了克服现有技术中PTC安全涂层的缺陷,本申请采用多种技术手段协同处理来改善PTC安全涂层的性能和稳定性。
首先,发明人发现,可以通过对安全涂层中高分子基体材料的选择来提高 安全涂层的稳定性和性能。
在传统的用于电池中的具有PTC效应的涂层中,通常使用氟化聚烯烃或氯化聚烯烃(例如PVDF)作为粘结剂。作为粘结剂使用时,PVDF的用量要远小于基体材料的用量。例如在传统PTC涂层之中的PVDF粘结剂相对于涂层总重通常小于15%或10%,甚至更低。某些文献(例如CN105594019A、CN106558676A)也提到PVDF本身有可能作为PTC基体材料使用,但多是出于纯粹的猜测,并未实际验证PVDF作为PTC基体材料的使用效果。同时,另外一些文献(例如CN104823313A的[0071]段)则明确提出PVDF不适合作为PTC基体材料使用。
但是,发明人发现氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃可以作为PTC热敏电阻层的高分子基体材料发挥作用。相对于安全涂层的总重量,作为高分子基体材料的氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃重量百分比通常为35wt%-75wt%。这一用量远高于现有技术PTC热敏电阻层中通常作为粘结剂使用的氟化聚烯烃或氯化聚烯烃(例如PVDF)的用量。
在本申请中,氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃材料实际上起到了两方面的作用,其既作为PTC基体,又作为粘结剂。这样避免了由于粘结剂与PTC基体材料的不同,而造成的对涂层的粘结性、PTC效应的响应温度和响应速度等的影响。
其次,氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃材料与导电材料组成的安全涂层可以起到PTC热敏电阻层的作用,作动温度范围适当,可为80℃至160℃,因此可以很好地改善电池的高温安全性能。
此外,作为安全涂层的高分子基体材料的氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃,既作为PTC基体,又作为粘结剂,从而还有利于制备较薄的安全涂层,且不影响安全涂层的粘结性。
另外,处于安全涂层上层的正极活性材料层中的溶剂(如NMP等)或电解液会对安全涂层中的高分子材料产生溶解、溶胀等不良影响,对于仅含有粘结剂用量的PVDF的安全涂层来说,易于造成粘结性变差;而对于本申请的安全涂 层来说,由于氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃的含量较大,因此这种不良影响可相对较小。
其次,发明人发现,可以通过对安全涂层中高分子基体材料进行交联处理来进一步改善安全涂层的稳定性和性能。
由于安全涂层上层的正极活性材料层中的溶剂(如NMP等)或电解液会对安全涂层中的高分子材料产生溶解、溶胀等不良影响,因此易于带来如下技术问题:
(1)由于安全涂层中的高分子基体(例如氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃)在有机溶剂(如NMP等)和电解液中具有较大的溶胀,因此在安全涂层的上方涂布正极活性材料层时,若涂布速度较快,则易于由于应力不均导致正极活性材料层的开裂;
(2)由于安全涂层中的高分子基体(例如氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃)在有机溶剂(如NMP等)和电解液中具有较大的溶胀,因此安全涂层的引入,会引起较大的电池DCR(直流内阻)增长,不利于电池的动力学性能改善。
本发明的发明人惊讶地发现,交联处理会减少高分子基体的溶胀、溶解程度,增大安全涂层与集流体之间的结合力,并改善开裂和电池DCR增长。
对于氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体来说,交联处理可以通过引入活化剂和交联剂来实现。活化剂的作用是使氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃脱去HF或HCl,生成C=C双键;交联剂的作用是使C=C双键交联。
实验发现,对于活化剂,优选采用含Na或K的活化剂,例如硅酸钠或硅酸钾。硅酸钠或硅酸钾为强碱弱酸盐,水解后呈弱碱性,使氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃部分脱去HF或HCl,生成C=C双键,不易形成凝胶。假如使用强碱,生成较多C=C双键,易造成浆料凝胶。所述活化剂与高分子基体的重量之比通常为0.5%至5%。
而对于交联剂,并无特殊限定,所述交联剂可以是选自多异氰酸酯类(JQ- 1、JQ-1E、JQ-2E、JQ-3E、JQ-4、JQ-5、JQ-6、PAPI、可乳化MDI、四异氰酸酯)、多元胺类(丙二胺、MOCA)、多元醇类(聚乙二醇、聚丙二醇、三羟甲基丙烷)、缩水甘油醚(聚丙二醇缩水甘油醚)、无机物(氧化锌、氯化铝、硫酸铝、硫黄、硼酸、硼砂、硝酸铬)、乙二醛、氮丙啶、有机硅类(正硅酸乙酯、正硅酸甲酯、三甲氧基硅烷)、苯磺酸类(对甲苯磺酸、对甲苯磺酰氯)、烯属不饱和化合物(苯乙烯、a-甲基苯乙烯、丙烯腈、丙烯酸、甲基丙烯酸、丙烯酸酯类(二丙烯酸-1,4-丁二醇酯、二甲基丙烯酸乙二醇酯、TAC、丙烯酸丁酯、HEA、HPA、HEMA、HPMA、MMA))、有机过氧化物(过氧化二异丙苯,过氧化双2,4-二氯苯甲酰)、金属有机化合物(异丙醇铝、醋酸锌、乙酰丙酮钛)中的至少一种。所述交联剂与高分子基体的重量之比为0.01%至5%。交联剂太少,高分子基体交联程度较低,不能完全消除开裂。交联剂过多,在搅拌过程中易造成凝胶。此外,氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃材料实际上起到了两方面的作用,即既作为PTC基体,又作为粘结剂,若交联剂过多则会影响用作PTC基体的高分子基体的用量,从而导致PTC效果劣化。
所述活化剂和所述交联剂可以在安全涂层浆料搅拌完成后同时或顺次加入,然后搅拌均匀后涂布,优选在搅拌过程中发生交联。
由于含Na或K的活化剂的使用,最终干燥固化后的安全涂层中会残留Na或K离子(相对于膜片层的含量约100ppm以上)。另外由于含Na或K的活化剂的使用,高分子基体材料中形成了C=C双键,而C=C双键不可能全部发生交联(即聚合),所以安全涂层中也会有C=C双键残留。残留的C=C双键可以通过红外光谱1646cm -1处吸收峰的存在与否来确定(见图2)。
因此,通过检测膜片层中是否有≥100ppm的Na离子或K离子残留以及红外光谱1646cm -1处是否存在吸收峰可以确定氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体是否进行了上述采用含Na或K的活化剂的交联处理(如果交联过程中使用了硅酸钠和硅酸钾的混合物,则同时残留Na离子和K离子,此时≥100ppm 指的是Na离子和K离子浓度之和)。
综上所述,通过在PTC安全涂层中使用交联的氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体材料,可以改善PTC安全涂层的性能和稳定性,尤其是改善开裂和电池DCR增长。
相应地,本申请的正极极片包括集流体、正极活性材料层和设置于集流体与正极活性材料层之间的安全涂层,所述安全涂层包含高分子基体和导电材料,所述高分子基体是氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃,且正极膜片层包含大于等于100ppm含量的Na离子和/或K离子,且其红外吸收光谱在1646cm -1处有吸收峰。
另外,作为本申请的一个优选实施方式,在安全涂层中加入无机填料可以进一步稳定安全涂层。
已发现当安全涂层中不含有无机填料时,处于安全涂层上层的正极活性材料层中的溶剂(如NMP等)或电解液有可能会对安全涂层中的高分子材料产生溶解、溶胀等不良影响,从而安全涂层会遭到破坏,影响PTC效应的性能。安全涂层中添加了无机填料后,该无机填料相当于一种阻隔物质,从而有利于消除上述溶解、溶胀等不良影响,有利于稳定安全涂层。此外,还发现无机填料的添加还有利于保证在极片压实过程中,安全涂层不易变形。因此无机填料的添加可以很好地保证安全涂层稳定地处于金属集流体与正极活性材料层之间,防止金属集流体与正极活性材料层直接接触,从而可以改善电池的安全性能。
发明人还出人意料地发现,无机填料还可以改善安全涂层的响应速度等性能。安全涂层的作用原理为:在常温下,安全涂层依靠导电材料之间形成的良好的导电网络,进行电子传导;温度升高时,高分子基体材料的体积开始膨胀,导电材料颗粒之间的间距增大,导电网络被部分阻隔,安全涂层的电阻逐渐增大;当达到一定的温度(例如作动温度)时,导电网络几乎完全被隔断,电流趋近为零。然而通常情况下,当安全涂层内部达到一种动态平衡后,导电网络又部分得 到恢复,因此在达到一定温度(例如作动温度)后,安全涂层的电阻不如预期的那样大,且仍有很小的电流通过。发明人发现,当加入无机填料后,在高分子基体材料的体积膨胀后,无机填料与体积增大的高分子基体材料都可以起到阻隔导电网络的效果。因此在加入无机填料后,在作动温度范围内,安全涂层可以更好地产生PTC效应,即高温下电阻值增加速度更快,PTC响应速度更快。从而可以更好地改善电池的安全性能。
因此,在本申请的一个优选实施方式中,正极极片包括集流体、正极活性材料层和设置于集流体与正极活性材料层之间的安全涂层,所述安全涂层包含高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料,所述高分子基体是氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃,正极膜片层包含大于等于100ppm含量的Na离子和/或K离子,且其红外吸收光谱在1646cm -1处有吸收峰。
上面简单介绍了本申请正极极片的作用原理,下面对本申请的正极极片及其组成部分,包括安全涂层(以及构成安全涂层的高分子基体材料、导电材料、可选的无机填料和其他可选添加剂等组成成分)、正极集流体、正极活性材料层等分别进行具体介绍。
导电材料
相对于高分子基体、导电材料和(可选的)无机填料的总重量,所述导电材料的重量百分比为5wt%-25wt%,优选为5wt%-20wt%。另外,优选地,高分子基体材料与导电材料的重量比大于等于2.
所述导电材料可以选自导电碳基材料、导电金属材料和导电聚合物材料中的至少一种。作为示例性说明,导电碳基材料可以选自导电炭黑、乙炔黑、石墨、石墨烯、碳纳米管、碳纳米纤维中的至少一种;导电金属材料可以选自Al粉、Ni粉、金粉中的至少一种;导电聚合物材料可以选自导电聚噻吩、导电聚吡咯、导电聚苯胺中的至少一种。导电材料可单独使用一种或组合使用两种以上。
导电材料通常以粉末或颗粒的形式使用。取决于具体应用环境,其粒径可以是5nm-500nm,例如10nm-300nm、15nm-200nm、15nm-100nm、20nm-400nm、20nm-150nm等等。
在本申请中,相对于安全涂层的总重量,所述导电材料的重量百分比为5wt%-25wt%,优选为5wt%-20wt%。优选地,所述高分子基体材料与导电材料的重量比大于等于2。在这种用量比例下,可以进一步改善穿钉安全性。如果高分子基体材料与导电材料的重量比小于2,则导电材料的含量相对较高,则温度升高时,导电网络可能无法充分断开,从而影响PTC效应。若所述高分子基体材料与导电材料的重量比过高,则导电材料的含量相对较低,则会造成正常工作时电池的DCR增长较大。优选地,所述高分子基体与所述导电材料的重量比大于等于2且小于等于8。
高分子基体材料
本申请的正极极片中含有高分子基体,所述高分子基体是氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃。相对于高分子基体、导电材料和(可选的)无机填料的总重量,所述高分子基体的重量百分比为35wt%-75wt%,优选为40wt%-75wt%,更优选为50wt%-75wt%。
在本申请中,作为安全涂层的高分子基体材料的所述氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃是指聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)、聚偏氯乙烯(PVDC)、经改性的PVDF、和/或经改性的PVDC。例如,所述氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃可以选自PVDF、羧酸改性的PVDF、丙烯酸改性的PVDF、PVDF共聚物、PVDC、羧酸改性的PVDC、丙烯酸改性的PVDC、PVDC共聚物或它们的任意混合物。
无机填料
相对于高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料的总重量的总重量,所述无机填料 的重量百分比通常为10wt%-60wt%。无机填料含量过小,不足以稳定安全涂层;含量过大,则会影响安全涂层的PTC性能。无机填料的重量百分比优选为15wt%-45wt%。
所述无机填料可以是选自金属氧化物、非金属氧化物、金属碳化物、非金属碳化物、无机盐中的至少一种,或上述材料的导电碳包覆改性、导电金属包覆改性或导电聚合物包覆改性的材料中的至少一种。
例如,所述无机填料可以选自氧化镁、氧化铝、二氧化钛、氧化锆、二氧化硅、碳化硅、碳化硼、碳酸钙、硅酸铝、硅酸钙、钛酸钾、硫酸钡、钴酸锂、锰酸锂、镍酸锂、镍锰酸锂、镍锰钴酸锂、镍锰铝酸锂、磷酸铁锂、磷酸钒锂、磷酸钴锂、磷酸锰锂、硅酸铁锂、硅酸钒锂、硅酸钴锂、硅酸锰锂、钛酸锂中的至少一种,或上述材料的导电碳包覆改性、导电金属包覆改性或导电聚合物包覆改性的材料中的至少一种。
尤其是,发明人发现,当安全涂层用于正极极片时,使用正极电化学活性材料或正极电化学活性材料的导电碳包覆改性、导电金属包覆改性或导电聚合物包覆改性的材料作为无机填料具有特别的优势。这种情况下,无机填料除了上面提到的稳定安全涂层的作用(阻碍有机溶剂对高分子材料产生溶解、溶胀等不良影响和保证安全涂层不易变形)和改善安全涂层的响应速度等性能外,进一步地,还可以发挥如下两方面的作用:(1)改善电池的过充性能:在氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃高分子基体、导电材料组成的PTC安全涂层体系中,由于电化学活性材料具有嵌脱锂离子的特点,因此在电池正常工作温度下,电化学活性材料可作为参与导电网络的“活性点位”,即安全涂层中的“活性点位”增多,在过充过程中,电化学活性材料会脱锂且脱锂难度越来越大,阻抗不断增加,因此当电流通过时,产热功率增大,底涂层温度增加速度更快,从而PTC效应响应速度更快,进而可以在电池产生过充安全问题之前产生PTC效应,改善电池的过充安全;(2)贡献充放电容量:由于电化学活性材料可以在电池正常工作温度下贡 献一定的充放电容量,因此可使得在正常工作温度下安全涂层对电池的容量等电化学性能的影响降至最低。
因此,对于正极极片而言,使用正极电化学活性材料或正极电化学活性材料的导电碳包覆改性、导电金属包覆改性或导电聚合物包覆改性的材料作为安全涂层中的无机填料是最优选的。所述正极电化学活性材料优选是选自钴酸锂、镍锰钴酸锂、镍锰铝酸锂、磷酸铁锂、磷酸钒锂、磷酸钴锂、磷酸锰锂、磷酸锰铁锂、硅酸铁锂、硅酸钒锂、硅酸钴锂、硅酸锰锂、尖晶石型锰酸锂、尖晶石型镍锰酸锂、钛酸锂、或它们的导电碳包覆改性材料、导电金属包覆改性材料或导电聚合物包覆改性材料中的至少一种。尤其是经导电碳包覆改性的这些电化学活性材料,例如导电碳包覆改性的钴酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的镍锰钴酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的镍锰铝酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸铁锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸钒锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸钴锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸锰锂、导电碳包覆改性的磷酸锰铁锂、导电碳包覆改性的硅酸铁锂、导电碳包覆改性的硅酸钒锂、导电碳包覆改性的硅酸钴锂、导电碳包覆改性的硅酸锰锂、导电碳包覆改性的尖晶石型锰酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的尖晶石型镍锰酸锂、导电碳包覆改性的钛酸锂中的至少一种。这些电化学活性材料和导电碳包覆改性的电化学活性材料是锂电池制造中的常用材料,大部分可通过商业途径直接购买获得。其中导电碳的种类可以采用石墨、石墨烯、导电炭黑、碳纳米管等。此外,通过调节导电碳的包覆含量可以调节无机填料的电导率。
当无机填料的颗粒粒径过小时,比表面积增大,副反应会增多;过大时,会造成安全涂层的涂布厚度过大且厚度易不均匀。优选地,安全涂层中的无机填料的平均粒径D满足100nm≤D≤10μm,更优选为1μm≤D≤6μm。无机填料的颗粒粒径处于上述范围时,还可以改善高温下阻隔导电网络的效果,从而改善其作为安全涂层的响应速度。还优选地,安全涂层中的无机填料的比表面积(BET)为不大于500m 2/g。无机填料比表面积增大时,副反应会增多影响电池性能;而 且无机填料比表面积过大时,需消耗更高比例的粘结剂,会造成安全涂层与集流体、正极活性材料层之间的粘结力降低,内阻增长率较高。当无机填料的比表面积(BET)为不大于500m 2/g时,可以提供更好的综合效果。
安全涂层
本申请的正极极片中的安全涂层中所用的氟化聚烯烃和/或氯化聚烯烃除了作为基体材料使用外,其本身还具有很好的粘结性,可以作为粘结剂使用。因此,安全涂层不需再使用其他额外的粘结剂,这可以简化工艺节约成本。因此,在本申请的优选实施方式中,所述安全涂层基本不含所述高分子基体材料以外的其他粘结剂(“基本不含”表示含量≤3%、≤1%、或≤0.5%)。
此外,在本申请的一些优选实施方式中,安全涂层可以基本上由所述高分子基体、导电材料和无机填料组成,即不含显著量(例如含量≤3%、≤1%、或≤0.5%)的其他组分。
在本申请的另一些实施方式中,除了上述高分子基体、导电材料和可选的无机填料外,本申请的正极极片中的安全涂层还可以包含其他助剂,例如不同于所述高分子基体的第二高分子基体材料、粘结剂等其他组分。
本申请的正极极片中的安全涂层可以通过常规方法来形成。例如,通过将高分子基体材料、导电材料、无机填料和可选的粘结剂或其他助剂溶解在溶剂中并搅拌形成浆料,然后将浆料涂覆到集流体之上,加热烘干即可得到所需安全涂层。
在本申请的正极极片中,安全涂层直接粘附在集流体之上,设置于集流体和正极活性材料层之间。所述安全涂层的厚度H可以根据实际需要进行合理确定。所述安全涂层的厚度H通常为不大于40μm,优选的为不大于25μm,更优选的为不大于20μm、15μm或10μm。安全涂层的涂布厚度通常为大于或等于1μm,优选的为大于或等于2μm,更优选为大于或等于3μm。厚度过小,不足以保证安全涂层改善电池安全性能的效果;过大,会造成电池内阻增大严重,从而影响 电池正常工作时的电化学性能。优选地1μm≤H≤20μm,更优选地3μm≤H≤10μm。
安全涂层与集流体之间的结合力优选大于等于10N/m。较大的结合力可以防止膜片层开裂并改善穿钉安全性能。例如,通过引入额外的粘结剂或通过对高分子基体进行交联处理可以增大安全涂层与集流体之间的结合力。
集流体
对于集流体的材料,可以使用本领域常用的材料,优选金属集流体,例如不锈钢、铝、铜、钛等金属薄片或金属箔。优选地,所述集流体为多孔集流体(例如多孔铝箔)。由于在穿钉等异常情况下,多孔铝箔的使用可以降低金属毛刺的产生概率,并进而降低发生剧烈铝热反应的概率,因此可以进一步改善电化学装置的安全性。此外,多孔铝箔的使用还可以改善电解液浸润极片,并进而改善锂离子电池的动力学性能;而安全涂层则可以覆盖在多孔铝箔的表面,防止上层活性材料层在涂布过程中的漏涂现象。优选金属集流体的厚度为4μm至16μm。
另外,考虑到穿钉安全性,集流体的断裂伸长率δ优选为0.8%≤δ≤4%。业已发现,如果集流体的断裂伸长率过大,则被穿刺时金属毛刺较大,不利于改善电池的安全性能;反之,如果集流体的断裂伸长率过小,则在极片压实等加工过程中或电池受到挤压或碰撞时容易出现断裂,降低电池质量或安全性。因此,为了进一步改善安全性,尤其是穿钉安全性,集流体的断裂伸长率δ应该不大于4%且不小于0.8%。金属集流体的断裂伸长率可通过改变金属集流体的纯度、杂质含量和添加剂、坯料生产工艺、轧制速度、热处理工艺等进行调整。
正极活性材料层
用于本申请正极极片的正极活性材料层可以选用本领域常用的各种常规正极活性材料层,其构成和制备方法是本领域公知的,并无特殊限制。所述正极活 性材料层中含有正极活性物质,可以使用本领域技术人员公知的各种用于制备锂离子二次电池正极的正极活性物质,例如该正极活性物质为含锂复合金属氧化物,具体材料例如是LiCoO 2、LiNiO 2、LiMn 2O 4、LiFePO 4、锂镍钴锰氧化物中的一种或几种(如LiNi 0.5Co 0.2Mn 0.3O 2)和锂镍锰氧化物中的一种或几种。
当使用正极电化学活性材料(或其包覆改性材料)作为正极极片的安全涂层的无机填料时,在安全涂层中的正极电化学活性材料和在正极活性材料层中所使用的正极活性物质可以相同也可以不同。
发明人发现,本申请中膜片层的延展率对于极片的穿钉安全性能影响显著。
作为本申请的一种进一步改进,所述膜片层的延展率为大于等于30%,优选大于等于80%。较大延展率的好处是:在穿钉等异常情况下,延展率较大的膜片层可以包裹集流体中可能产生的金属毛刺,防止电池内短路的发生,从而大大改善电池的穿钉安全性(对于常规的正极活性材料层来说,其延展率一般不超过1%,无法起到包裹金属毛刺的作用;而在本申请中,由于安全涂层的引入,膜片层的延展率得到了很大的提高)。
若增大安全涂层中的高分子基体的含量,则必然会对膜片层的延展率的提高有影响。然而若安全涂层中的高分子基体的含量过大,则会造成导电材料的含量相对较低,由此造成正常工作时电池的DCR增长较大。因此优选膜片层的延展率大于等于80%且小于等于300%。
优选地,膜片层的单面厚度为30μm至80μm。
用于与本申请的正极极片配合使用的负极极片可以选用本领域常用的各种常规负极极片,其构成和制备方法是本领域公知的。例如,负极极片可以包括负极集流体和设置于负极集流体上负极活性材料层,所述负极活性材料层可以包括负极活性材料、粘结剂和导电材料等。负极活性材料例如为诸如石墨(人造石墨或天然石墨)、导电炭黑、碳纤维等的碳质材料,例如Si、Sn、Ge、Bi、Sn、 In等金属或半金属材料或其合金,含锂氮化物或含锂氧化物,锂金属或锂铝合金等。
本申请还公开了一种电化学装置,该电化学装置包含了根据本申请的正极极片。所述电化学装置可以为电容器、一次电池或二次电池。例如可以为锂离子电容器、锂离子一次电池或锂离子二次电池。除了使用了本申请的正极极片外,这些电化学装置的构造和制备方法本身是公知的。由于使用了本申请的正极极片,所述电化学装置可以具有改善的安全性(如穿钉安全性)和电性能。并且本申请的正极极片容易加工,因此可以降低使用了本申请的正极极片的电化学装置的制造成本。

1.3 电解液的配制
将碳酸亚乙酯(EC)、碳酸甲乙酯(EMC)、碳酸二乙酯(DEC)按照3∶5∶2体积比进行混合得EC/EMC/DEC混合溶剂,接着将充分干燥的锂盐LiPF 6溶解于混合溶剂中得浓度为1M的溶液,即得电解液。
1.4 电池的制备
以12μm的聚丙烯薄膜作为隔离膜,将正极极片、隔离膜和负极极片按顺序叠好,使隔离膜处于正极极片和负极极片中间起到隔离的作用,然后卷绕成裸电芯。在75℃下真空烘烤10h,注入(按照上面“电解液的配制”所述配制的) 电解液,经过真空封装、静置24h,之后用0.1C的恒定电流充电至4.2V,然后以4.2V恒压充电至电流下降到0.05C,再以0.1C的恒定电流放电至3.0V,重复2次充放电,最后以0.1C的恒定电流充电至3.8V,即完成二次电池的制备。
2、材料性能的测试
在各实施例和对比例中,除非另有指明,对于材料的物理性能参数均采用本领域的常用公知方法进行测量。
一些具体参数采用以下方法进行测试。
2.1 Na+/K+含量:
制作Na离子或K离子的标准溶液,使用等离子体发射光谱仪制作校准曲线。取正极极片,使用刀片将膜片层从集流体上刮下,使用剪刀剪碎,称重后,加入到10mL 1:1王水进行微波消解,消解后在容量瓶中定容,进行ICP测试,计算Na离子或K离子的浓度。
3.2 红外光谱:
取正极极片,使用刀片将膜片层从集流体上刮下形成粉末,然后测试透射红外光谱,红外测试参考GB/T 21186-2007《傅立叶变换红外光谱仪国家标准》。
2.3 粒径
将材料的粉末样品分散于分散介质(蒸馏水)中,使用马尔文激光粒度仪MS2000,测量5次取平均值,单位μm。
2.4 BET(比表面积)
使用Quadrasorb SI比表面测试仪测试材料的粉末样品的比表面积,测量5次取平均值,单位m 2/g。
2.5 膜片层与集流体之间的结合力
将含集流体的双面具有膜片层的极片裁切为宽度为2cm,长度15cm的待测样品,将待测样品的一面在25℃、常压条件下,使用3M双面胶均匀贴于 不锈钢板上,将待测样品的一端固定在高铁拉力机上,使用高铁拉力机将待测样品的膜片层与集流体剥离,根据拉力和位移的数据图,读取最大拉力,将读取的值(单位N)除以样品宽度(0.02),计算得到结合力(N/m)。
2.6 集流体断裂伸长率
在集流体上取2个长度为200mm,宽度为15mm的样片,用万分尺量取样品的厚度h(μm)。然后将样片固定于拉力机(型号AI7000)上,以50mm/min速度进行拉伸。2次测试的算数平均值为测试结果。记录初始长度L0,启动拉力机测试,直至样片断裂,从拉力机上读取断裂时样片的位移L1。断裂伸长率=(L1-L0)/L0*100%。
2.7 集流体厚度、涂层厚度、膜片层厚度
集流体厚度:采用万分尺测量,测量5处取平均值。
涂层厚度、膜片层厚度:先测量集流体厚度,涂覆涂层后再测量总厚度,以两者之差作为涂层厚度。膜片层厚度采用类似的方法。
2.8 涂层开裂状况
在烘干并得到正极活性材料层之后,100m 2极片不出现裂纹定义为不开裂。100m 2极片裂纹出现次数≤3,定义为轻度开裂。100m 2极片裂纹出现次数>3,定义为严重开裂。
2.9 膜片层的延展率
取极片并去除集流体:将正极极片从电芯中取出,加入电解液,使极片完全浸泡于电解液中,置于90℃下存储48h以上,然后取出极片,正极极片的膜片层即可从集流体上剥落。
将去除集流体后的膜片层,制成宽度20mm、长度50mm的试样,用万分尺量取样品的厚度h(μm)。然后将试样固定于拉力机(型号AI7000)上,记录初始长度L0。启动拉力机,以50mm/min速度进行拉伸,直至试样断裂。从拉力机上读取断裂时试样的位移L1。延展率=(L1-L0)/L0*100%

4、性能测试结果
4.1 安全涂层的防护效果(PTC效应)和对电池性能的影响
为了验证本申请的防护效果,以下面表1-1中所列出的具体材料和用量,按照“1、制备方法”所描述的方法和步骤制备出相应的安全涂层、正极极片、负极极片和电池,然后按照“3、电池的性能测试”部分规定方法进行测试。为了保证数据准确,每种电池制备4个(用于针刺测试的电池制备10个)并独立测试,最终测试结果取平均值,示于表1-2和表1-3。
其中,常规极片P基本按照“1.1正极极片的制备”所述方法进行制备,但是不设置安全涂层,即正极活性材料层直接涂覆在集流体上,常规极片N按照“1.2负极极片的制备”所述方法制备。

Figure PCTCN2019118696-appb-000003
表1-1、表1-2和表1-3的数据表明:引入以PVDF或PVDC作为高分子基体的安全涂层大大改善了电池的针刺安全性能,尤其是在加入了无机填料的情况下,改善更为显著。从表1-3的直流电阻增长率数据可以看出:PVDF与导电材料构成的安全涂层确有PTC效应,且无机填料的添加非常明显地改善了高温下电池的直流电阻增长率,即PTC效应更为显著。
4.2 安全涂层中组分含量的影响
为了进一步研究安全涂层中组分含量的影响,以下面表2-1中所列出的具体材料和用量,按照“1、制备方法”所描述的方法和步骤制备出相应的安全涂层、正极极片、负极极片和电池,然后按照“3、电池的性能测试”部分规定方法进行测试。为了保证数据准确,每种电池制备4个(用于针刺测试的电池制备10个)并独立测试,最终测试结果取平均值,总结于表2-2。

电池14 极片2-9 常规极片N 10个全部通过 1800
电池15 对比极片2-10 常规极片N 4个不通过,6个通过 1715
表2-1和表2-2的数据表明:(1)无机填料含量过低,则安全涂层的稳定性不足够高,因此电池的安全性能不能得到充分改善;无机填料含量过高,则高分子基体含量会过低,则也无法保证安全涂层正常发挥作用;(2)导电材料对电池的内阻、极化的影响较大,因此会影响电池的循环寿命,导电材料含量越高,则电池的内阻、极化越小,则循环寿命越好。
经实验发现安全涂层的各组分的适当含量范围如下:
高分子基体的重量百分比为35wt%-75wt%;
导电材料的重量百分比为5wt%-25wt%;
无机填料的重量百分比为10wt%-60wt%。
只要安全涂层的各组分含量在以上范围内,就可以实现改善电池的安全性和电性能(如循环性能)的效果。
4.3 无机填料种类对电池性能的影响
为了进一步研究安全涂层中材料选择对极片和电池性能的影响,以下面表表3-1中所列出的具体材料和用量,按照“1、制备方法”所描述的方法和步骤制备出相应的安全涂层、正极极片、负极极片和电池,然后按照“3、电池的性能测试”部分规定方法进行测试。为了保证数据准确,每种电池制备4个(用于针刺测试的电池制备10个)并独立测试,最终测试结果取平均值,总结于表3-2。

电池51 极片2-46 常规极片N 10个全部通过 10个全部通过 3000
表3-1和表3-2的数据表明,相对于其他材料(例如氧化铝)来说,电化学活性材料明显改善了电池的过充安全性能;此外碳包覆的电化学活性材料还改善了电池的循环寿命。
4.4 交联对极片和电池性能的影响
以下面表4-1中所列出的具体材料和用量,按照上述的方法和步骤制备出相应的安全涂层、正极极片、负极极片和电池,然后按照规定方法进行测试以便研 究交联对于涂层开裂情况、DCR等方面的影响。
表4-1和表4-2的数据表明,在正极活性材料层的涂布速度为50m/min的情况下,极片2-61中没有对高分子基体进行交联(膜片层中不含≥100ppm的Na离子或K离子,且其红外吸收光谱在1646cm -1处没有吸收峰),则极片发生开裂且严重开裂。交联结构的引入对改善极片开裂情况具有很明显的作用。极片2-62至极片2-64含有交联结构(膜片层中含有≥100ppm的Na离子或K离子,且其红外吸收光谱在1646cm -1处有吸收峰),均没有发生开裂。针对PVDC进行的类似实验,结果也类似(数据未示出)。由此可见,交联结构的引入明显消除了极片涂布开裂。这是因为引入交联结构后,大幅降低了上层活性物质浆料中的有机溶剂对安全涂层中高分子材料的溶解,从而减少开裂,大幅提高生产效率。而且,引入交联结构后,针刺全部通过,表明引入交联结构不会对安全涂层的防护作用带来负面影响。
另外,极片2-61中没有对高分子基体进行交联,高分子基体在电解液中溶胀较大,导致DCR较大。从极片2-62、极片2-63、极片2-64可以看出,交联结构的引入降低了高分子基体在电解液中溶胀,对DCR具有很明显的降低作用。由此可见,交联剂的加入明显降低了电池的DCR。
所以,无论是否交联,PVDF/PVDC都能作为PTC层高分子基体材料使用,所得电池具有很高的安全性(针刺测试实验结果优异)。而且进一步,与未经交联的PVDC/PVDF相比,交联结构改善了极片开裂,由严重开裂降低至不开裂或轻度开裂,从而进一步改善了电池的性能。
