随着电化学装置(例如,锂离子电池)的广泛应用,对其性能的要求不断提升。能量密度、循环性能和倍率性能是评价锂离子电池性能的重要指标。迄今为止,尚未研发出能够平衡锂离子电池的能量密度和析锂现象的有效手段。
本申请通过优化负极活性材料以解决上述问题。具体而言,本申请提供了一种负极活性材料,其中所述负极活性材料的面积平均粒径满足以下关系:lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)≥0.4;SMD为所述负极活性材料的面积平均粒径,且在10μm至16μm的范围内;lg为频度。lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)表明面积平均粒径为SMD的颗粒的数量占总颗粒数量的比例。当lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)≥0.4时,面积平均粒径为SMD的颗粒大于等于总颗粒数量的40%。
在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的面积平均粒径满足以下关系:lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)≥0.5。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的面积平均粒径满足以下关系:lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)≤1.0。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的面积平均粒径满足以下关系:lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)≤0.8。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的面积平均粒径满足以下关系:lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)≤0.6。
在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的面积平均粒径SMD在12μm至14μm的范围内。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的面积平均粒径SMD为10μm、11μm、12μm、13μm、14μm、15μm、16μm或在上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。
负极活性材料的“面积平均粒径”指的是所有负极活性材料颗粒的总体积与所有负极活性材料颗粒的总面积的比值,即:
Figure PCTCN2020127812-appb-000001
其中i表示序数,D表示对应的负极活性材料颗粒的体积,Ni表示粒径为Di的颗粒个数。
负极活性材料的面积平均粒径可反映出负极活性材料颗粒的大小,其对锂离子的扩散具有至关重要的作用。当负极活性材料颗粒较大时,锂离子的扩散路径较长,传输速率较低,导致部分锂离子无法快速嵌入负极活性材料中从而堆积在 负极活性材料表面。当电势达到0V以下时,锂离子析出为锂金属,导致析锂现象。当负极活性材料颗粒较小时,锂离子可在负极活性材料中快速扩散,但负极活性材料会暴露出较多的活性位点,从而增加不可逆锂含量,降低锂离子电池的首次库伦效率,进而降低锂离子电池的能量密度。
lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)可反映出负极活性材料的粒度分布。负极活性材料的粒度分布越集中,大尺寸颗粒含量越少,同时负极活性材料层在一定压实密度下的孔隙率越大,有利于锂离子在负极活性材料层中的扩散,因此电化学装置的直流电阻越小,从而可减轻电化学装置的析锂现象。当负极活性材料的粒度分布达到阈值时,继续增大负极活性材料的粒度分布难以进一步显著改善锂离子电池的析锂现象,反而会增加成本。
当负极活性材料的面积平均粒径SMD符合上述关系且在上述范围内时,负极活性材料颗粒尺寸适当且分布集中,使电化学装置具有高体积能量密度同时不出现析锂现象,实现综合性能的平衡。
根据本申请的实施例,所述负极活性材料的体积比表面积Sv不大于0.3m 2/cm 3。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的体积比表面积Sv不大于0.2m 2/cm 3。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的体积比表面积Sv不小于0.01m 2/cm 3。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的体积比表面积Sv不小于0.05m 2/cm 3。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的体积比表面积Sv不小于0.1m 2/cm 3。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料的体积比表面积Sv为0.1m 2/cm 3、0.2m 2/cm 3、0.3m 2/cm 3或在上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。
负极活性材料的“体积比表面积”指的是负极活性材料颗粒的总表面积与总体积的比值,即:
S v=∑(6nd 2)/∑(nd 3)
其中n表示负极活性材料的颗粒的数量,d表示负极活性材料颗粒的直径。
负极活性材料的体积比表面积Sv越小,负极活性材料颗粒越趋于类球形形状。以石墨作为负极活性材料为例,石墨为六边形层状结构,同层的碳原子以sp 2杂化形成共价键,每一个碳原子以三个共价键与另外三个原子相连,锂离子嵌入在石墨层之间。石墨颗粒呈扁平状时,石墨颗粒中层数较少,每一层的长度较长。石墨颗粒呈类球形时,石墨颗粒中的每一层的长度越短,有利于锂离子的快速脱嵌,从而可降低锂离子电池的直流阻抗,改善锂离子电池的析锂现象。当 负极活性材料的体积比表面积在上述范围内时,可进一步平衡锂离子电池的析锂程度和能量密度。
负极活性材料的面积平均粒径和体积比表面积可通过动态颗粒图像分析获得。具体地,负极活性材料的面积平均粒径可通过以下方法得到:使用新帕泰克QICPIC动态颗粒图像分析仪,将待测试的负极活性材料样品置于强力干法分散装置中完全分散成单个颗粒,通过高频脉冲光源在小于1纳秒的曝光时间内得到颗粒边缘清晰的图像。通过高速成像系统每秒得到450幅图像。对左右图像进行分析得到负极活性材料的面积平均粒径和体积比表面积。

负极活性材料层的取向度可按照中华人民共和国机械行业标准JB/T4220-2011《人造石墨的点阵参数测定方法》测试得到。具体地,试验条件如下:X射线采用CuK α辐射,CuK α辐射由滤波片或单色器除去。X射线管的工作电压为(30-35)kV,工作电流为(15-20)mA。计数器的扫描速度为1/4 (°)/min。在记录004衍射线图形时,衍射角2θ的扫描范围为53°-57°。在记录110衍射线图形时,衍射角2θ的扫描范围为75°-79°。由(004)面衍射线图形得到的负极活性材料层的峰面积记为C004。由(110)面衍射线图形得到的负极活性材料层的峰面积记为C110。通过计算得到负极活性材料层的C004/C110的比值,即为负极活性材料层的取向度。
根据本申请的实施例,所述负极活性材料层与所述负极集流体之间的粘结力 为8N/m至14N/m。在一些实施例中,所述负极活性材料层与所述负极集流体之间的粘结力为10N/m至12N/m。所述负极活性材料层与所述负极集流体之间的粘结力为8N/m、9N/m、10N/m、11N/m、12N/m、13N/m、14N/m或在上述任意两个数值的范围内。
负极活性材料层与负极集流体之间的粘结力可通过拉伸测试得到,具体如下:使用Instron(型号为33652)测试仪进行测试负极活性材料层与负极集流体之间的粘结:取15-20mm长的极片,用3M双面胶纸将其固定于钢板上,将胶纸贴在负极活性材料层表面,该胶纸一侧与其等宽的纸带相连接,调整拉力机限位块至合适位置,将纸带向上翻折及滑移40mm,滑移速率为50mm/min,测试180°下(即,反方向拉伸)负极活性材料层与负极集流体之间的粘结力。

负极活性材料层的孔隙率可根据《GB/T24586-2009铁矿石表观密度真密度和孔隙率的测定》标准测试得到。
当负极活性材料层的压实密度较大时,负极活性材料的堆积密度较大,使得电解液难以浸润负极活性材料层,不利于锂离子在垂直于负极的方向上的扩散,从而会加剧锂离子电池的析锂现象。当负极活性材料的压实密度较小时,锂离子电池的能量密度会下降。在负极活性材料层的面密度一定的情况下,降低负极活性材料层的压实密度会降低负极活性材料层的各向异性和孔隙率并且降低负极活性材料层与负极集流体之间的粘结力。在负极活性材料层的压实密度一定的情况下,降低负极活性材料层的面密度会增大负极活性材料层的各向异性、降低负极活性材料层的孔隙率并且降低负极活性材料层与负极集流体之间的粘结力。当负极活性材料的面密度、压实密度、取向度C004/C110、孔隙率和/或负极活性材料与负极集流体之间的粘结力在上述范围内时,有助于进一步平衡锂离子电池的能量密度和析锂程度。

2、锂离子电池的直流电阻(DCR)的测试方法
在25℃下,将锂离子电池以1.5C恒流充电至4.45V,再以4.45V恒压充电至0.05C,静置30分钟。然后,以0.1C放电10秒,记录电压值U1;接着以1C 放电360秒,记录电压值U2。“1C”是在1小时内将电池容量完全放完的电流值。
根据下式计算锂离子电池的直流电阻R
R=(U2-U1)/(1C-0.1C)。
除非有特别说明,本申请所述的DCR是锂离子电池在10%荷电状态(SOC)下测试得到的。
3、锂离子电池析锂现象的测试方法
(1)观察法
在25℃下,将锂离子电池以0.5C的电流恒流放电至3.0V,静置10分钟。然后以1.5C的电流恒流充电至4.1V,以4.1V的电压恒压充电至0.05C,以0.7C的电流恒流充电至4.3V,以4.3V的电压恒压充电至0.05C,以0.5C的电流恒流充电至4.4V,以4.4V的电压恒压充电至0.05C,最后以0.5C的电流恒流放电至3.0V,静止10分钟。重复上述充放电过程10次。在干燥条件下拆解,拍照记录负极的状态。
根据以下标准判断锂离子电池的析锂程度:
当拆解后的负极整体呈现金黄色,极少部分可观察到灰色;且灰色区域的面积<2%,则判定为不析锂。
当拆解后的负极大部分呈现金黄色,部分位置可观察到灰色;且灰色区域的面积在2%至20%之间,则判定为轻微析锂。
当拆解后的负极整体呈现为灰色,部分位置可观察到金黄色;且灰色区域的面积在20%至60%之间,则判定为析锂。
当拆解后的负极整体呈现灰色且灰色区域的面积>60%时,则判定为严重析锂。
(2)计算法
将锂离子电池按照以下步骤进行充放电测试:
(a)使锂离子电池在3C下直流充电至100%荷电状态;
(b)在步骤(a)后使锂离子电池在1C下直流放电至3V,停留5分钟;
(c)在步骤(b)后使锂离子电池在0.5C下直流放电至3V,停留5分钟;

期间测试锂离子电池在第1次充放电测试中经过步骤(a)的容量,记为C1;锂离子电池在第1次充放电测试中经过步骤(b)、(c)、(d)和(e)的容量之和,记为D1;以及锂离子电池在第10次充放电测试中经过步骤(b)、(c)、(d)和(e)的容量之和,记为D10。计算D10/D1以及(C1-D10)/C1以判断锂离子电池的析锂程度。
4、锂离子电池的体积能量密度的测试方法
在25℃下,使用新威机以0.5C电流恒流充电至4.45V,恒压至电流为0.05C;静置5分钟,以0.5C恒流放电至电压为3.0V,记录放电容量以及放电平台。通过排水法测量锂离子电池的体积。通过下式计算锂离子电池的体积能量密度:
体积能量密度=(容量×放电平台)/锂离子电池的体积×100%
5、锂离子电池的循环圈数的测试方法
将锂离子电池置于25℃恒温箱中,静置30分钟,使锂离子电池达到恒温。然后以0.7C恒流充电至4.45V,恒压充电至电流为0.05C;再以0.7C放电至3.0V,以此步容量为基准,记为初始容量。采用相同步骤循环至锂离子电池的容量为初始容量的80%时,记录循环圈数。
三、测试结果
表1展示了负极活性材料的特性对锂离子电池的性能的影响,实施例1-9中面密度为约0.10mg/mm 2压实密度为约1.75g/cm 3,C004/C110为约11,孔隙率为约27%。
结果表明,采用D10/D1和(C1-D10)/C1计算法和观察法所得到的析锂现象一致。具体来说,如实施例1-9所示,当D10/D1≥95%且(C1-D10)/C1≤7%时,锂离子电池不析锂。如对比例2所示,当D10/D1≥95%且(C1-D10)/C1<7%,锂离子电池析锂。如对比例3和4所示,当D10/D1<95%且(C1-D10)/C1<7%,锂离子电池严重析锂。D10/D1和(C1-D10)/C1计算法为判断锂离子电池的析锂现象提供了定量手段,其可更精确的判断锂离子电池的析锂程度,避免了采用观察法时由不同观察者导致的主观误差以及受观察视野限制的误差。
如对比例1所示,负极活性材料的面密度SMD小于10μm但lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)小于0.4,锂离子电池的直流电阻(DCR)较小且没有出现析锂现象,但其体积能量密度较低。如对比例2所示,负极活性材料的面密度符合lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)≥0.4但SMD小于10μm,锂离子电池的直流电阻(DCR)较小, 但出现析锂现象且体积能量密度较低。如对比例3所示,负极活性材料的面密度符合lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)≥0.4但SMD大于16μm(如图1中对比例3所示),锂离子电池的体积能量密度较高,但出现严重析锂且直流电阻(DCR)较大。如对比例4所示,负极活性材料的面密度SMD大于16μm且lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)小于0.4,锂离子电池的体积能量密度较高,但出现严重析锂且直流电阻(DCR)较大。
如实施例1-9所示,当负极活性材料的面密度符合lg(SMD-2)+lg(SMD+2)≥0.4且SMD在10μm至16μm的范围内(例如,图1中实施例3所示)时,锂离子电池不仅具有较低的直流电阻(DCR),没有出现析锂现象,同时具有较高的能量密度,实现了析锂现象与能量密度的平衡。负极活性材料的面积平均粒径SMD越小,锂离子电池的直流电阻(DCR)越小,析锂程度程度越小。当负极活性材料的体积表面积Sv不大于0.3m 2/cm 3时,可进一步降低锂离子电池的直流电阻(DCR)并进一步提升锂离子电池的体积能量密度。
表2展示负极活性材料的特性对锂离子电池的性能的影响,其中实施例10-28与实施例5相似,不同之处仅在于表2所列参数。
结果表明,当负极活性材料层的面密度在0.077mg/mm 2至0.121mg/mm 2的范围内和/或压实密度在1.20g/cm 3至1.83g/cm 3范围内时,有助于实现锂离子电池的析锂现象和体积能量密度的平衡,同时可使负极活性材料层保持良好的加工性能。
当负极活性材料层的C004/C110在5至15的范围内时,负极活性材料的取向在合适的范围,端面(即,石墨晶体C轴所在的平面)的量在适宜范围内,可避免负极析锂和膨胀,同时避免负极活性材料层从负极集流体上脱落,同时锂离子电池具有较高体积能量密度。
当负极活性材料层与负极集流体之间的粘结力为8N/m至14N/m和/或负极活性材料层具有20%至40%的孔隙率时,有助于实现锂离子电池的析锂和体积能量密度的平衡。
