其次,导电层的厚度较小,且支撑层的断裂伸长率为12%~10000%,且支撑层的体积电阻率大于或等于1.0×10 -5Ω·m,因此在电化学装置发生穿钉等异常情况时,不仅导电层产生的毛刺较传统的金属集流体大幅减小,而且体积电阻率较大的支撑层产生的毛刺可以包裹导电层产生的金属毛刺,从而使得电化学装置发生内短路时具有较大的短路电阻,减小短路电流及减少短路产热。并且在穿钉发生时,局部的导电网络被切断,可以防止电化学装置大面积甚至整个电化学装置发生内短路。这就可以将穿钉等造成的对电化学装置的损坏局限于刺穿位点,仅形成“点断路”,而不影响电化学装置在一定时间内的正常工作。因此,采用本申请实施例的正极集流体,使得电化学装置具有较高的穿钉安全性能。
此外,正极集流体的拉伸应变为2%时,导电层的方块电阻增长率为10%以下,在极片加工、电池膨胀等过程中,可以防止导电层因拉伸形变而导致的电阻急剧增大,保证正极集流体具有良好的导电和集流的性能,使得电化学装置具有低阻抗、且极化较小,从而使电化学装置兼具较高的电化学性能。
本申请的装置包括本申请第三方面所述的电化学装置,因而至少具有与所述电化学装置相同的优势。

本申请实施例的正极集流体10中,导电层的材质为铝或铝合金,导电层的厚度D 1为300nm≤D 1≤2μm;支撑层的断裂伸长率B为10000%≥B≥12%;支撑层的体积电阻率大于或等于1.0×10 -5Ω·m;正极集流体的拉伸应变为2%时,导电层的方块电阻增长率T 1为T 1≤10%。
本申请实施例的正极集流体10,将厚度较小的导电层102(铝层或铝合金层)设置于支撑层101的至少一个表面,相对于传统金属正极集流体(如铝箔)而言,有利于降低正极集流体10的重量,提高电化学装置的重量能量密度。
其次,导电层102的厚度较小,且支撑层101的断裂伸长率B为10000%≥B≥12%,支撑层101的体积电阻率大于或等于1.0×10 -5Ω·m,因此,在电化学装置发生穿钉等异常情况时,不仅导电层102产生的毛刺较传统的金属集流体大幅度减小,而且体积电阻率较大的支撑层101产生的毛刺可以包裹导电层102产生的金属毛刺,从而使得电化学装置发生内短路时具有较大的短路电阻,减小短路电流及减少短路产热。并且在穿钉发生时,局部的导电网络被切断,可以防止电化学装置大面积甚至整个电化学装置发生内短路。这就可以将穿钉等造成的对电化学装置的损坏局限于刺穿位点,仅形成“点断路”,而不影响电化学装置在一定时间内的正常工作。因此,采用本申请实施例的正极集流体10,使得电化学装置具有较高的穿钉安全性能。
此外,正极集流体10在正极极片及电化学装置的加工及使用过程中,例如辊压或电池膨胀过程中,有时会被拉伸,使正极集流体10的拉伸应变为2%时,导电层102的方块电阻增长率T 1为10%以下,能够有效防止导电层102因拉伸形变而导致的电阻急剧增大,保证正极集流体10具有良好的导电和集流的性能,使得电化学装置具有低阻抗、且极化较小,从而使电化学装置兼具较高的电化学性能,其中电化学装置兼具较高的倍率性能及循环性能。

正极集流体的拉伸应变设为ε,则ε=ΔL/L×100%,其中,ΔL是正极集流体被拉伸产生的伸长量,L是正极集流体的原长,即被拉伸之前的长度。
正极集流体的拉伸应变为ε时,导电层的方块电阻增长率设为T,T值可以采用本领域已知的方法测定,作为示例,取正极集流体裁剪成20mm×200mm的样品,采用四探针法测试样品的中心区域的方块电阻,记录为R 1,然后使用高铁拉力机对样品的中心区域进行拉伸,设置初始位置,并使夹具之间的样品长度为50mm,以50mm/min速度进行拉伸,拉伸距离为样品原长L(50mm)与ε的乘积,即拉伸距离为ΔL,取下拉伸后的样品,测试夹具之间导电层的方块电阻,记录为R 2,根据公式T=(R 2-R 1)/R 1×100%,计算得到正极集流体的拉伸应变为ε时导电层的方块电阻增长率T。

支撑层的杨氏模量E可以采用本领域已知的方法测定。作为示例,取支撑层裁剪成15mm×200mm的样品,用万分尺量取样品的厚度l(μm),在常温常压(25℃、0.1MPa)下使用高铁拉力机进行拉伸测试,设置初始位置使夹具之间样品为50mm长,拉伸速度为50mm/min,记录拉伸至断裂的载荷Q(N),设备位移z(mm),则应力ξ(GPa)=Q/(15×l),应变η=z/50,绘制应力应变曲线,取初始线性区曲线,该曲线的斜率即为杨氏模量E。
导电层的密度可以采用本领域已知的方法测定,作为一个示例,裁取面积为10cm 2的正极集流体,用精确到0.0001g的天平称量其质量,计为m 1,单位g,用万分尺测量20个位置的厚度,并取其平均值,计为d 1,单位μm。将称量完的正极集流体用1mol/L的NaOH水溶液浸泡1min,待导电层完全溶解,取出支撑层,去离子水漂洗5次后,在100℃下烘烤20min,之后用同一个天平称量其质量,记为m 2,单位g,用同一把万分尺测量20个位置的厚度,并取其平均值,记为d 2,单位μm。根据如下公式计算导电层的密度,单位g/cm 3
Figure PCTCN2019129349-appb-000001
取5片同样大小的正极集流体分别测试导电层的密度,结果取平均值。
导电层的体积电阻率设为ρ,则ρ=R S×d,其中,ρ的单位为Ω·m;R S为导电层的方块电阻,单位为Ω;d为导电层以m为单位的厚度。可以参照前文所述的四探针法测试导电层的方块电阻R S,在此不再赘述。
可以采用本领域已知的方法测试支撑层与导电层之间的结合力F,例如选用导电层设置于支撑层一面上的正极集流体待测样品,宽度h为0.02m,在常温常压(25℃、0.1MPa)下,使用3M双面胶,均匀贴于不锈钢板上,再将待测样品均匀贴于双面胶上,使用高铁拉力机将待测样品的导电层与支撑层剥离,根据拉力和位移的数据图,读取最大拉力x(N),根据F=x/h计算得到导电层与支撑层之间的结合力F(N/m)。

测试部分
1.按照前文所述的测试方法对正极集流体进行测试。
2.电池的性能测试
(1)循环性能测试
在45℃下,将锂离子二次电池以1C的倍率恒流充电至4.2V,再恒压充电至电流小于等于0.05C,再以1C的倍率恒流放电至2.8V,此为一个充放电循环,此次的放电容量即为第1次循环的放电容量。将电池按照上述方法进行1000次充放电循环,记录第1000次循环的放电容量。

表2
Figure PCTCN2019129349-appb-000003
Figure PCTCN2019129349-appb-000004
采用本申请实施例的正极集流体可以大大改善电池的穿钉安全性能。从表2中的数据可以看到,采用常规正极集流体的电池,或者正极集流体的支撑层断裂伸长率小于12%,在穿钉的瞬间,电池温度骤升500℃,电压骤降至零,这说明在穿钉的瞬间,电池发生内短路,产生大量的热,电池瞬间发生热失控和毁坏而导致失效。而本申请实施例的正极集流体,导电层的厚度D 1、以及支撑层的断裂伸长率B和体积电阻率均在特定范围内,在穿钉测试中,电池温升都可以被控制在35℃以下,进一步地25℃以下,更进一步地10℃以下,且电池电压基本保持稳定,电池可以正常工作。
可见,在电池发生内短路的情况下,本申请实施例的正极集流体可极大地降低短路产热量,从而改善电池的安全性能;此外,还可将短路损坏对电池的影响局限于“点”范围,仅形成“点断路”,而不影响电池在一段时间内的正常工作。
2.正极集流体的T 1值对电化学装置的影响
表3

正极极片36 正极集流体36 100
对比正极极片2 对比集流体2 0
对比正极极片3 对比集流体3 0
正极集流体的拉伸应变为2%时,导电层的方块电阻增长率T 1不大于10%,此时,采用该正极集流体的正极极片在辊压之后,可以具有较好的导电性能。否则导电性能较差,在电池产品中实用价值不大。优选地,T 1≤5%。优选地,T 1≤2%。更优选地,T 1≤1%。
3.正极集流体的T 2值对于电化学装置的穿钉安全性能的作用
表5
Figure PCTCN2019129349-appb-000006
表6
Figure PCTCN2019129349-appb-000007
从表6中的数据可以看到,当正极集流体的拉伸应变大于等于4%,导电层的方块电阻增长率T 2小于50%时,电池穿钉安全性能较差,例如对比电池4,在穿钉的瞬间,电池温度骤升500℃,电压骤降至零,这说明在穿钉的瞬间,电池发生内短路,产生大量的热,电池瞬间发生热失控和毁坏而导致失效。而正极集流体的拉伸应变大于等于4%,导电层的方块电阻增长率T 2为50%以上时,电池穿钉安全性能较好,在穿钉测试中,电池温升基本都可以被控制在30℃以下,进一步地在20℃以下,更进一步地在10℃以下,且电池电压基本保持稳定,电池可以正常工作。
可见,正极集流体的拉伸应变大于等于4%时,导电层的方块电阻增长率T 2为50%以上,尤其是为100%以上,更尤其是为150%以上,在电池发生内短路的情况下,可极大地降低短路产热量,改善电池的安全性能;此外,还可将短路损坏对电池的影响局限于“点”范围,仅形成“点断路”,而不影响电池在一定时间内的正常工作。
4.保护层的影响

采用本申请实施例正极集流体的电池的循环寿命良好,尤其是设置有保护层的正极集流体制成的电池,45℃、1C/1C循环1000次后的容量保持率进一步获得提升,说明电池的可靠性更好。
5.本申请正极集流体在改善电化学装置的重量能量密度方面的作用
表9
Figure PCTCN2019129349-appb-000011
Figure PCTCN2019129349-appb-000012
表9中,正极集流体重量百分数是指单位面积正极集流体重量除以单位面积常规正极集流体重量的百分数。
相较于传统的铝箔正极集流体,采用本申请的正极集流体的重量都得到不同程度的减轻,从而可提升电池的重量能量密度。
以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到各种等效的修改或替换,这些修改或替换都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
