Description

电化学装置和电子装置 技术领域
本申请涉及储能领域,具体涉及一种电化学装置和电子装置。
背景技术
作为一种新型储能装置,锂离子电池被广泛应用于3C数码、电动工具、储能电网、航空航天等领域。而随着科技的发展,人们对锂离子电池性能的要求变得越来越高,因此在确保安全的前提下,电池的能量密度和充放电功率等参数急需提高。在锂离子电池中,正负极材料是决定电池性能的关键物质。现有技术中,低取向度的石墨负极活性材料Z方向循环膨胀小,动力学性能优异,能够有效降低锂离子电池的厚度膨胀率。但低取向度石墨往往不容易分散,浆料匀浆一致性差,进而使得锂离子电池的变形率高,限制其大规模应用。
发明内容
针对现有技术的不足,本申请提供了一种电化学装置及包括该电化学装置的电子装置。本申请的电化学装置兼顾高的体积能量密度、优异的循环性能和低温倍率性能。
第一方面,本申请提供了一种电化学装置,其包括负极,该负极包括负极集流体和负极活性材料层,负极活性材料层包括负极活性材料和负极添加剂,负极活性材料包含石墨,其中,负极活性材料的取向指数OI≤11,采用热重测试,在25℃至600℃的温度范围内,负极活性材料层的失重率为W T%,1≤W T≤2.5。本申请中,W T值在上述范围内,电化学装置的循环性能及倍率综合性能最优。W T值过小,制备负极活性材料层的浆料匀浆一致性差,使得负极活性材料层与集流体之间的粘结力低,进而在循环过程中,无法抑制石墨XY方向的膨胀,导致电化学装置的循环膨胀率及变形率增大。W T值过大,会导致负极活性材料石墨的含量过低,使得极片离子电导率降低,导致电化学装置的放电倍率降低。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,6≤OI≤10。本申请中,负极活性材料的取向指数OI为通过X射线衍射法对负极活性材料进行测试而得到的面(004)的峰面积和面(110)的峰面积的比值。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,负极活性材料的振实密度TD g/cm 3≤0.9g/cm 3
根据本申请的一些实施方式,采用热重测试,在200℃至360℃的温度范围内负极活性材料层的失重率为a%,在360℃至450℃的温度范围内负极活性材料层的失重率为b%,满足如下条件中的至少一者:(Ⅰ)a+b<2.5;(Ⅱ)a≥1.5b;(Ⅲ)a≥(-0.0135×TD+0.0263)×100。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,负极活性材料层满足条件(a)或(b)中的至少一者:(a)0.8≤a≤2,0.1≤b≤0.7;(b)0.6≤TD≤0.9。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,1.1≤a≤1.9,0.2≤b≤0.5。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,采用热重测试,在200℃至360℃的温度范围内负极活性材料层的失重率为a%,在360℃至450℃的温度范围内负极活性材料层的失重率为b%,其中,a+b<2.5。a+b的值过大,会导致负极活性材料石墨的含量过低,进而使得极片离子电导率降低,导致电化学装置的放电倍率降低。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,采用热重测试,在200℃至360℃的温度范围内负极活性材料层的失重率为a%,其中,0.8≤a≤2.2。在一些实施方式中,0.8≤a≤2.0。在一些实施方式中,1.1≤a≤1.9。本申请中,a值与负极活性材料层中负极添加剂的含量有关,a值越大,表明负极活性材料层中负极添加剂的含量越高。a值过大,相应地负极活性材料石墨的含量过低,极片离子电导率降低,导致电化学装置的放电倍率性能差。a值过小,负极添加剂量过少,制备负极活性材料层的浆料匀浆一致性差,负极活性材料层与集流体之间的粘结力薄弱,进而使得电化学装置的循环膨胀率及变形率增大。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,采用热重测试,在360℃至450℃的温度范围负极活性材料层的失重率为b%,其中,0.1≤b≤0.7。在一些实施方式中,0.2≤b≤0.5。b值越大,极片粘结力相应越高。高的粘结力可以抑制石墨XY方向的膨胀,进而降低电化学装置的循环变形率,提升其循环容量保持率。然而,b值过大会使得极片离子电导率降低,导致电化学装置的放电倍率降低。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,采用热重测试,在200℃至360℃的温度范围内负极活性材料层的失重率为a%,负极活性材料的振实密度TD g/cm 3≤0.9g/cm 3,其中,a≥(-0.0135×TD+0.0263)×100。a与TD满足关系式a≥(-0.0135×TD+0.0263)×100时,负极活性材料层浆料的匀浆一致性良好,负极活性材料层中能够形成均匀分散粘结网络,有利于提升电化学装置的循环容量保持率和降低其循环变形率。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,采用傅里叶红外测试,该负极活性材料层包含谱图在 1540cm -1至1630cm -1范围具有吸收峰的物质。本申请中,傅里叶红外测试谱图中,在1540cm -1至1630cm -1的吸收峰代表羧基的伸缩振动。

根据本申请的一些实施方式,负极添加剂包括羟丙基羧甲基纤维素、羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂、羟丙基羧甲基纤维素钠、羟乙基羧甲基纤维素、羟乙基羧甲基纤维素锂或羟乙基羧甲基纤维素钠中的至少一种。
低OI值(OI≤11)的人造石墨各向同性强,具备Z方向膨胀低和动力学性能优异的优势。充电时,锂离子可快速嵌入低OI值石墨中,在XY方向释放一定厚度膨胀,使得Z方向的膨胀相对降低,进而能够降低电化学装置的循环膨胀率。但由于极片XY方向膨胀,极片易脱膜,变形率高,进而会降低电化学装置的循环容量保持率。此外,低OI值石墨多为二次颗粒堆积而成,在多数情况下低OI值石墨往往伴随振实密度低。此类低OI值(OI≤11)低TD(TD≤0.9)石墨不容易分散,往往需要大量分散剂才能保证匀浆一致性。常规的负极极片中采用羧甲基纤维素钠(CMC)做分散剂,虽然CMC可起到分散悬浮石墨以及粘结石墨颗粒作用,但由于其脆性大,冷压过程活性材料层中的粘结网络易破坏,对电化学装置的循环变形率改善有限。本申请通过在负极中添加柔韧性优异的羟烷基羧甲基纤维素类分散剂,能够有效降低活性材料层在辊压外力/颗粒膨胀收缩过程由于脆性而导致的粘结网络破坏,使得极片在经过辊压和长循环后仍然保持较高的粘结力和离子电导率,进而使得电化学装置具有高的体积能量密度、优异的循环性能和低温倍率性能。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,负极添加剂的羟烷基取代度为0.1至0.3。在一些实施方式中,负极添加剂的羟烷基取代度为0.16至0.28。在一些实施方式中,负极添加剂的羧甲基取代度为0.5至0.9。随着羟烷基取代度增加,负极添加剂的柔韧性增加,脆性降低,包含该负极添加剂的极片在辊压后,外力作用下的粘结网络破坏减少,粘结性能得到提升。同时,高柔韧性的负极添加剂还可以降低循环过程中石墨膨胀收缩导致的粘结脆性龟裂,进而有利于提升电化学装置的循环容量保持率和降低其循环变形率。但羟烷基取代 度过高时,负极添加剂的本体强度会降低,会导致相应极片的粘结力下降。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,负极添加剂包括羟烷基羧甲基纤维素的碱金属盐中的至少一种,负极活性材料层包括区域A和区域B,其中,区域A中碱金属元素含量与区域B中碱金属元素含量的比值为0.8至1.2,其中,区域A为从负极活性材料层的厚度方向的中心开始至负极活性材料层表面侧的区域,区域B为从负极活性材料层的厚度方向的中心开始至负极集流体侧的区域。在一些实施方式中,负极添加剂包括C 2-C 6羟烷基羧甲基纤维素的碱金属盐中的至少一种,其中,区域A中碱金属元素含量与区域B中碱金属元素含量的比值为0.8至1.2。在一些实施方式中,负极添加剂包括羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂,其中,区域A中锂元素含量与区域B中锂元素含量的比值为0.8至1.2。

第二方面,本申请提供了一种电子装置,其包括第二方面的电化学装置。
本申请通过搭配使用低取向指数(取向指数≤11)低振实密度(振实密度≤0.9)石墨和羟烷基羧甲基纤维素类添加剂,并进行配比优化,可制备得到高活性材料含量的负极极片,进而使得包含该极片的电化学装置兼具高的体积能量密度、优异的循环性能和低温倍率性能。

根据本申请的一些实施方式,采用热重测试,在200℃至360℃的温度范围内负极活性材料层的失重率为a%,负极活性材料的振实密度TD g/cm 3≤0.9g/cm 3,其中,a≥(-0.0135×TD+0.0263)×100。a与TD满足关系式a≥(-0.0135×TD+0.0263)×100时,负极活性材料层浆料的匀浆一致性良好,负极活性材料层中能够形成均匀分散粘结网络,有利于提升电化学装置的循环容量保持率和降低其循环变形率。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,采用傅里叶红外测试,该负极活性材料层包含谱图在1540cm -1至1630cm -1范围具有吸收峰的物质。本申请中,傅里叶红外测试谱图中,在1540cm -1至1630cm -1的吸收峰代表羧基的伸缩振动。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,负极添加剂包括羟烷基羧甲基纤维素或羟烷基羧甲基纤维素的碱金属盐中的至少一种。在一些实施方式中,羟烷基羧甲基纤维素包括C 2-C 6羟烷基羧甲基纤维素中的至少一种。在一些实施方式中,羟烷基羧甲基纤维素的碱金属盐包括C 2-C 6羟烷基羧甲基纤维素的碱金属盐中的至少一种。根据本申请的一些实施方式,羟烷基羧甲基纤维素的碱金属盐包括羟乙基羧甲基纤维素的碱金属盐或羟丙基羧甲基纤维素的碱金属盐中的至少一种。在一些实施方式中,碱金属为锂、钠、钾、铷或铯。在一些实施方式中,C 2-C 6羟烷基为羟乙基、羟丙基、羟丁基、羟戊基或羟己基。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,负极添加剂包括羟丙基羧甲基纤维素、羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂、羟丙基羧甲基纤维素钠、羟乙基羧甲基纤维素、羟乙基羧甲基纤维素锂或羟乙基羧甲基纤维素钠中的至少一种。
低OI值(OI≤11)的人造石墨各向同性强,具备Z方向膨胀低和动力学性能优异的 优势。充电时,锂离子可快速嵌入低OI值石墨中,在XY方向释放一定厚度膨胀,使得Z方向的膨胀相对降低,进而能够降低电化学装置的循环膨胀率。但由于极片XY方向膨胀,极片易脱膜,变形率高,进而会降低电化学装置的循环容量保持率。此外,低OI值石墨多为二次颗粒堆积而成,在多数情况下低OI值石墨往往伴随振实密度低。此类低OI值(OI≤11)低TD(TD≤0.9)石墨不容易分散,往往需要大量分散剂才能保证匀浆一致性。常规的负极极片中采用羧甲基纤维素钠(CMC)做分散剂,虽然CMC可起到分散悬浮石墨以及粘结石墨颗粒作用,但由于其脆性大,冷压过程活性材料层中的粘结网络易破坏,对电化学装置的循环变形率改善有限。本申请通过在负极中添加柔韧性优异的羟烷基羧甲基纤维素类分散剂,能够有效降低活性材料层在辊压外力/颗粒膨胀收缩过程由于脆性而导致的粘结网络破坏,使得极片在经过辊压和长循环后仍然保持较高的粘结力和离子电导率,进而使得电化学装置具有高的体积能量密度、优异的循环性能和低温倍率性能。
根据本申请的一些实施方式,负极添加剂的羟烷基取代度为0.1至0.3。在一些实施方式中,负极添加剂的羟烷基取代度为0.13、0.15、0.17、0.19、0.2、0.21、0.23、0.25、0.27、0.29或这些值中任意两者组成的范围。在一些实施方式中,负极添加剂的羟烷基取代度为0.16至0.28。随着羟烷基取代度增加,负极添加剂的柔韧性增加,脆性降低,包含该负极添加剂的极片在辊压后,外力作用下的粘结网络破坏减少,粘结性能得到提升。同时,高柔韧性的负极添加剂还可以降低循环过程中石墨膨胀收缩导致的粘结脆性龟裂,进而有利于提升电化学装置的循环容量保持率和降低其循环变形率。但羟烷基取代度过高时,负极添加剂的本体强度会降低,会导致相应极片的粘结力下降。

测试方法
1、振实密度
振实密度为在规定条件下容器中的粉末经振实后所测得的单位体积的质量,单位为 g/cm 3。测试方法为将装有一定质量的粉末的刻度量筒固定在机械振动装置上,振动电机带动机械振动装置垂直上下振动,装有粉末的刻度量筒随机械振动装置而发生有节拍的振动,随着振动次数的增加,刻度量筒里的粉末逐渐振实,振动次数达到设定次数后,机械振动装置停止振动,读出刻度量筒的体积。根据密度的定义:质量除以体积,从而求出振实后的粉末密度。具体的工艺参数:振动次数:5000次;振动频率:250±15次/min;环境温度:15℃至28℃。
2、添加剂取代度
羧甲基取代度:羧甲基取代度的测试标准参照GB/T 1904-2005《食品添加剂羧甲基纤维素钠》中的方法进行测试。

4、粘结力
负极活性材料层与负极集流体粘结力测试:所用仪器的品牌为Instron,型号为33652。具体地,将负极(宽30mm×长度(100mm至160mm))用双面胶纸(型号:3M9448A,宽度20mm×长度(90mm至150mm))固定于钢板上,将与负极等宽的纸带与负极另一侧用胶纸固定,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。
5、离子电导率
先将包装袋、极片、隔离膜在使用前于60℃下静置4h。然后,将极片用陶瓷剪刀剪成比刀模尺寸(刀模尺寸,23mm×35mm×2mm)大些的小片,将小片放在刀模上进行冲切,充好的极片用镊子取出备用。然后将极片做成单层对称电池。将对称电池置于电化学工作站测试EIS,设置频率0.5Hz至200kHz,扰动电压为10mV;通过EIS两条直线的交点,计算出极片的离子电阻Rion。通过下式计算极片的离子电导率:
极片离子电导率=d/(Rion×A),其中,d为极片的厚度,A为极片的面积;
6、循环后容量保持率
在45℃下,将锂离子电池以1C恒流充电至4.45V,然后恒压充电至电流为0.05C,再以1C恒流放电至3.0V,此为首次循环。按照上述条件对锂离子电池进行多次循环。通过下式计算锂离子电池的循环后容量保持率:
循环后容量保持率=(对应循环次数的放电容量/首次循环的放电容量)×100%
7、放电百分比
在25℃下,以0.5C恒流充电到4.45V,恒压充电至0.05C截止,然后以0.5C恒流放到3.0V截止,记录为25℃放电容量。在25℃下,以0.5C恒流充电到4.45V,恒压充电至0.05C截止,之后将电池置于-20℃恒温箱中,静置2小时,再以0.5C恒流放电到3.0V截止,记录为-20℃放电容量。通过下式计算锂离子电池的放电百分比:
放电百分比=(-20℃放电容量/25℃放电容量)×100%
8、循环厚度膨胀率
将锂离子电池置于两平板之间,上平板下压,压力为700g时,测得的两平板之间的距离即为锂离子电池的厚度。
在45℃下,将锂离子电池以1C恒流充电至4.45V,然后恒压充电至电流为0.05C,测量锂离子电池厚度,即为锂离子电池首次满充厚度,然后按照循环流程测试进行多次循环,测试锂离子电池厚度。通过下式计算锂离子电池的循环厚度膨胀率:
循环厚度膨胀率=(对应循环次数的锂离子电池厚度/首次循环的锂离子电池厚度-1)×100%
9、循环变形率
锂离子电池厚度测试:将锂离子电池置于两平板之间,上平板下压,压力为700g时,测得的两平板之间的距离即为锂离子电池的厚度。;
锂离子电池千分尺厚度测试:在Al极耳侧(正极极耳)的电池主体表面选取大概均等分的3个点,使用千分尺测量三个点厚度并取平均值为锂离子电池千分尺厚度。通过下式计算锂离子电池循环变形率:
循环变形率=(对应循环次数的电芯厚度/对应循环次数的电芯千分尺厚度-1)×100%。
10、柔韧性等级
柔韧性等级的测试标准参照GB/T 1731-93《漆膜柔韧性测定法》。其中,采用轴棒7进行测试,并根据极片弯曲内侧开裂程度判定柔韧性的优异程度。当极片弯曲内侧裂缝宽度<10μm时,则判定柔韧性等级为优。当极片弯曲内侧10μm≤裂缝宽度≤150μm时,则判定柔韧性等级为中。当极片弯曲内侧裂缝宽度>150μm时,则判定柔韧性等级为差。

表1中,实施例1-1至实施例1-7研究了负极活性材料人造石墨的OI值对性能的影响,其中人造石墨的OI值为8-9时,负极极片以及锂离子电池的综合性能最优异。
表1中,实施例1-11至实施例1-13研究了负极活性材料层在600℃时热失重率W T%对性能的影响,其中随W T增加,锂离子电池的循环变形率下降,但极片离子电导率降低,使得锂离子电池的放电倍率性能下降。
表1中,对比例1中使用羧甲基纤维素锂作为添加剂,由于羧甲基纤维素锂的脆性大,经过辊压后容易发生龟裂,导致极片粘结力低,进而在循环过程中,无法抑制石墨XY方向的膨胀,使得循环变形率高达6%,循环容量保持率仅为60%左右。对比例2在对比例1的基础上增加了极片中粘结剂的含量(b的大小与负极活性材料层中粘结剂的含量有关,b值越大,表明负极活性材料层中粘结剂的含量越高),进而使得极片粘结力得到了提高。虽然极片粘结力的提高可以抑制石墨XY方向的膨胀,进而降低锂离子电池的循环变形率,提升其循环容量保持率,但由于粘结剂在石墨表面包覆,其含量过多时会阻碍锂离子的传输,进而使得极片离子电导率降低,导致锂离子电池的放电倍率降低。对比例3中使用常规OI值石墨,锂离子电池的变形率降低,循环容量保持率良好,但相对实施例1-1,其循环膨胀率偏大,离子电导率低,放电百分比降低,不具备实施例1-1中低OI值石墨所带来的性能优势。

表2中,实施例2-1至实施例2-5研究了添加剂羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂的羟丙基取代度对性能的影响,其中羟丙基取代度在0.16至0.28范围内时,负极极片的性能和锂离子电池的性能均较优异。负极极片粘结力(即负极活性材料层和负极集流体之间的粘结力)>8N/m,负极极片的离子电导率>0.2S/cm。锂离子电池的循环容量保持率>80%且变形率<2%,放电倍率>50%。其中实施例2-3中羟丙基取代度为0.22时的效果最优,粘结力为14N/m,极片的离子电导率为0.23S/cm,锂离子电池的循环容量保持率为82.2%。通过实施例2-1至实施例2-5的数据还可以看到随着羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂的羟丙基取代度增加,极片粘结力先增加后下降。这是因为随着羟丙基取代度增加,羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂的柔韧性增加,脆性降低,使得极片在辊压后,外力作用下的粘结网络破坏减少,进而粘结性能得到提升,同时还可以降低循环过程中石墨膨胀收缩导致的粘结脆性龟裂。但随着羟丙基取代度的进一步增加,羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂的本体强度会降低,进而会导致相应极片的粘结力下降。
表2中,实施例2-6至实施例2-11研究了负极活性材料层在200℃至360℃范围内热失重率a%和在360℃至450℃范围内热失重率b%对性能的影响。a的大小与负极活性材料层中羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂的含量有关,a越大,表明负极活性材料层中羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂的含量越高。b的大小与负极活性材料层中粘结剂的含量有关,b值越大,表明 负极活性材料层中粘结剂的含量越高。实施例2-10和实施例2-11中,a小于1.5时,相对应地,a小于(-0.0135×TD+0.0263)×100,此时,锂离子电池的循环变形率大于3%,容量保持率小于80%。这是因为而低振实密度(振实密度小于0.9g/cm 3)的人造石墨不容易分散,羟丙基羧甲基纤维素锂的含量过低时,浆料匀浆一致性差,负极活性材料层中添加剂和粘结剂分散不均匀,无法形成均匀有效粘结网络,进而不能抑制石墨膨胀滑移错位。实施例2-7至实施例2-10中,a大于1.5,相应地,a大于(-0.0135×TD+0.0263)×100,浆料匀浆一致性良好,负极活性材料层中能够形成均匀分散粘结网络,进而使得锂离子电池的循环容量保持率>80%且变形率<2%。实施例2-6中,b为0,即负极活性材料层中粘结剂的含量为0,使得负极极片的粘结网络差,导致由于粘结失效而引起的XY方向变形增大,进而使得锂离子电池的膨胀变形率及厚度膨胀率略大。因此,当a和b满足a+b<2;a≥(-0.0135×TD+0.0263)×100时,负极极片的性能和锂离子电池的性能均较优异。
尽管已经演示和描述了说明性实施例,本领域技术人员应该理解上述实施例不能被解释为对本申请的限制,并且可以在不脱离本申请的精神、原理及范的情况下对实施例进行改变,替代和修改。
