技术领域
本公开属于电池领域,具体涉及一种负极片、二次电池和用电设备。
背景技术
随着电动汽车的发展及市场对电动汽车续航里程需求的不断提升,提高锂离子电池能量密度已经成为了各个电池厂商以及研究机构不断追逐的方向。目前商用的锂离子电池负极材料,多采用石墨,但石墨的比容量只有350mAh/g,采用硅材料作为负极材料,可以极大提高锂离子电池的能量密度。但是由于硅负极在脱嵌锂过程中存在很大的体积膨胀,同时循环性能还有待提升,因此导致硅负极电池未大规模商业化。
公开内容
本公开旨在至少在一定程度上解决相关技术中的技术问题之一。为此,本公开的一个目的在于提出一种负极片、二次电池和用电设备,该负极片不仅可以具有较低的成本,而且可以减小电池在充放电过程中单次循环产生的体积变化率,从而在提高其电池能量密度的同时提高其循环稳定性。
在本公开的一个方面,本公开提出了一种负极片。根据本公开对实施例,所述负极片包括:
负极集流体;
第一负极层,所述第一负极层设在所述负极集流体的表面上,所述第一负极层包括硅基活性材料和压弹添加剂;
第二负极层,所述第二负极层设在所述第一负极层上远离所述负极集流体的表面上,所述第二负极层包括石墨;
在沿所述负极片厚度方向被施加压力X后,所述负极片的回弹率为2%-40%,所述负极片的压缩率为2%-40%;所述压力X满足0.3MPa<X≤5Mpa。
根据本公开实施例的负极片,通过在负极集流体上形成包括硅基活性材料和压弹添加剂的第一负极层,然后在第一负极层上形成包括石墨的第二负极层,其中第一负极层中的压弹添加剂具有回弹性和压缩性,从而使得第一负极层表现出压弹特性,在电池充电时,随着负极嵌锂,负极片体积逐渐膨胀,石墨负极在嵌锂时体积膨胀可达10%,而硅基活性材料,在嵌锂时体积膨胀更大,例如硅在嵌锂后体积膨胀可达300%,SiOx嵌锂后体积膨胀可达120%。在固定电池包或电池壳体体积的工况下,电芯因膨胀则会承受来自外部(如包体、壳体)的压力,此时在压力作用下,第一负极层中的压弹添加剂在压力作用下体积收缩,释放一部分空间给硅基活性材料,从而缓冲了硅基活性材料在嵌锂过程中产生的较大的体积膨胀,减缓了第一负极层在嵌锂时的较大的体积膨胀率。而在放电的过程中,随着锂离子的脱出,负极片活性材料逐渐体积收缩,此时电芯承受的外压力逐渐减小甚至消除,第一负极层中的压弹添加剂发生回弹,体积逐渐恢复,占据活性材料体积收缩释放的空间,进而延缓第一负极层因活性材料脱锂导致的体积收缩,因此具有压弹特性的第一负极层可以缓冲负极片在充放电过程中较大体积变化。同时第一负极层中的压弹添加剂因为兼具导电性能,因此其在放电过程中体积回弹,一方面可以帮助第一负极层中的硅基活性材料颗粒间良好的物理接触,保证良好的电子导电网络,再一方面,因为压弹添加剂可以减小第一负极层在充放电过程中的体积变化率,因此可以缩小第一负极层与第二负极层在充放电过程中体积膨胀率的差异,避免在长期循环过程中第一负极层与第二负极层双层因体积膨胀率较大差异而导致双层逐渐出现裂纹分离的问题。同时将含石墨的第二负极层形成在负极片的表层,因为石墨的快充性能优于含硅负极,因此有利于提高电池的瞬时充电以及大倍率瞬时放电性能。由此,本申请的负极片不仅可以具有较低的成本,而且可以减小电池在充放电过程中单次循环产生的体积变化率,从而在提高其电池能量密度的同时提高其循环稳定性。

具体实施方式
下面详细描述本公开的实施例,所述实施例的示例在附图中示出,其中自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。下面通过参考附图描述的实施例是示例性的,旨在用于解释本公开,而不能理解为对本公开的限制。
本申请的技术方案是基于下列发现完成的:现有技术中一种方式是采用硅与石墨混用的方式制备负极片,即石墨负极活性材料中掺入Si/C硅碳材料或者SiOx作为负极材料,用于提高电池能量密度。然而石墨负极中掺入硅后,电池的循环性能较石墨显著下降;同时硅基材料脱嵌锂过程中体积膨胀很大,例如硅在嵌锂后体积膨胀可达300%,SiOx嵌锂后体积膨胀可达120%。常规的粘结剂对于硅基材料来说粘结力不足,需要采用粘结力更强的粘结剂,如聚丙烯酸等。而且,常规的炭黑等导电剂已不能满足SiOx的导电需要,需要加入碳纳米管,甚至需要加入成本高昂的单壁碳纳米管以保证其容量的正常发挥。然而石墨并不需要这种成本高的聚丙烯酸粘结剂和单壁碳纳米管导电剂,但采用硅基材料与石墨混用的方式,则使得整个负极片活性层中采用了这两种成本高的粘结剂和导电剂,造成了电池成本的急剧增加。另一种方式是将负极片进行双层涂布,底层采用富硅层,表层采用石墨层。采用富硅层与石墨层双层涂布的方式,这样富硅层可以采用成本高的粘结剂和导电剂,石墨层则依旧采用常规的粘结剂和导电剂组合,可以有效降低成本。但是在实验中发现,因为富硅层与石墨层在充放电过程中悬殊的体积膨胀率,导致在循环过程中,存在双层逐渐剥离的问题,导致电池循环性能悬崖式下跌。
鉴于此,在本公开的一个方面,本公开提出了一种负极片。根据本公开的实施例,参考图1,该负极片包括负极集流体100、第一负极层200和第二负极层300。
需要说明的是,本领域技术人员可以根据实际需要对负极集流体100的材质进行选择,例如采用铜箔。
根据本公开的实施例,参考图1,第一负极层200设在负极集流体100的表面上,并且第一负极层200包括硅基活性材料和压弹添加剂。第二负极层300设在第一负极层200远离负极集流体100的表面上,第二负极层300包括石墨。在沿该负极片厚度方向被施加压力X后,该负极片的回弹率为2%-40%,压缩率为2%-40%;压力X满足0.3MPa≤X≤5Mpa。例如,所述负极片的回弹率为5%,8%,10%,12%,15%,18%,20%,23%,25%,28%,30%,32%,35%,38%,40%等;所述负极片的压缩率为5%,8%,10%,12%,15%,18%,20%,23%,25%,28%,30%,32%,35%,38%,40%等;所述压力X满足0.3Mpa,0.5Mpa,0.8Mpa,1Mpa,1.5Mpa,2Mpa,2.5Mpa,3Mpa,3.5Mpa,4Mpa,4.5Mpa,5Mpa等。
发明人发现,弹性添加剂具有回弹性和压缩性,从而使得第一负极层200表现出压弹特性,在电池充电时,随着负极嵌锂,负极片体积逐渐膨胀,例如硅在嵌锂后体积膨胀可达300%,SiOx嵌锂后体积膨胀可达120%。
在固定电池包或电池壳体体积的工况下,电芯因膨胀则会承受来自外部(如包体、壳体)的压力,此时在压力作用下,第一负极层200中的压弹添加剂在压力作用下体积收缩,释放一部分空间给硅基活性材料,从而缓冲了硅基活性材料在嵌锂过程中产生的较大的体积膨胀,减缓了第一负极层200在嵌锂时的较大的体积膨胀率。而在放电的过程中,随着锂离子的脱出,负极片中活性材料逐渐体积收缩,此时电芯承受的外压力逐渐减小甚至消除,第一负极层200中的压弹添加剂发生回弹,体积逐渐恢复,占据活性材料体积收缩释放的空间,进而延缓第一负极层200因活性材料脱锂导致的体积收缩,因此具有压弹特性的第一负极层200可以缓冲负极片在充放电过程中较大体积变化。即具有压弹特性的第一负极层200可以缓冲负极片在充放电过程中较大体积变化。
同时第一负极层200中的压弹添加剂在放电过程中体积回弹,一方面可以帮助第一负极层200中的硅基活性材料颗粒间良好的物理接触,保证良好的电子导电网络,再一方面,因为压弹添加剂可以减小第一负极层200在充放电过程中的体积变化率,因此可以缩小第一负极层200与第二负极层300在充放电过程中体积膨胀率的差异,避免在长期循环过程中第一负极层200与第二负极层300双层因体积膨胀率较大差异而导致双层逐渐出现裂纹分离的问题。
本公开中,负极片的回弹性能和压缩性能的测试方法如下:沿负极片的厚度方向对负极片施加一个值为X1Mpa的压力,测定负极片在X1Mpa压力下的厚度为H1;然后撤掉该压力,待负极片的厚度稳定后,再测定负极片的厚度,记作H2,则该负极片的厚度回弹率r1=(H2-H1)/H1。沿负极片的厚度方向对初始厚度为H3的负极片施加一个值为X2Mpa的压力,测定负极片在X2Mpa压力下的厚度,记作H4,则该负极片的厚度压缩率p=(H3-H4)/H3。因此,上述“在沿该负极片厚度方向被施加第一压力X后,该负极片的回弹率为2%-40%,压缩率为2%-40%;第一压力X满足0.3MPa≤X≤5Mpa”可以理解为:沿负极片的厚度方向对负极片施加0.3MPa≤X1≤5Mpa的压力X1,测定负极片在该压力X1下的厚度为H1;然后撤掉该压力,待负极片的厚度稳定后,再测定负极片的厚度,记作H2,则负极片100的厚度回弹率r1=(H2-H1)/H1,r1在2%-40%的范围内;沿负极片的厚度方向对初始厚度为H3的负极片施加0.3MPa≤X2≤5Mpa的压力X2,测定负极片在该压力X2下的厚度,记作H4,则该负极片的厚度压缩率p=(H3-H4)/H3,p在2%-40%的范围内。r1和p可以相同也可以不同,X1和X2可以相同也可以不同。
在本公开一些实施方式中,上述第一负极层200的单侧厚度为5μm-50μm,例如5μm、10μm、15μm、20μm、25μm、30μm、35μm、40μm、45μm、50μm。
由于负极片中的负极层可以是涂覆在集流体中的单面,也可以是涂覆在集流体的两面,因此,当负极层涂覆在集流体中的单面时,本公开中的“单侧厚度”是指涂覆面的第一负极层200或第二负极层300的厚度;当负极层涂覆在集流体中的两面时,本公开中的“单侧厚度”是指两侧中任意一侧负极层中的第一负极层200或第二负极层300的厚度。
在本公开一些实施方式中,所述硅基活性材料与所述压弹添加剂的质量比为100:3-30,例如100:3-25、100:5-22、100:8-20、100:10-18、100:12-16、100:13-15等。若压弹添加剂添加量过低,则无法实现极片的压缩回弹性能。由此,在第一负极层200中加入上述比例的压弹添加剂,可以在降低成本的同时提高电池能量密度和循环稳定性。
在本公开一些实施方式中,在第一负极层200中硅基活性材料占总活性材料质量分数为3%-100%,例如5%-95%,10%-90%,15%-85%,20%-80%,25%-75%,30%-70%,40%-60%,45%-50%等。发明人发现,第一负极层200中活性材料可以是纯硅基活性材料,若硅基活性材料过少,虽然可以起到改善电池能量密度的效果,但从工艺成本以及收益来看,收益不显著。在本公开另一些实施方式中,在第一负极层200中硅基活性材料占总活性材料质量分数为10%-60%。
在本公开一些实施方式中,第一负极层200还包括石墨,硅基活性材料和所述石墨的总质量与所述压弹添加剂的质量比为100:3-30,例如100:3-25、100:5-22、100:8-20、100:10-18、100:12-16、100:13-15等。
本领域技术人员可以根据实际需要对上述硅基活性材料和压弹添加剂的具体类型进行选择,例如硅基活性材料包括SiOx、Si、Si/C和硅基合金中的至少之一,其中x取值为0<x<2,并且硅基合金除含Si外,还包括Al、Mg、B、Ni、Fe、Cu和Co等元素中的至少一种。
在本公开一些实施方式中,第一负极层还包括第一导电剂,第一导电剂包括但不限于单壁碳纳米管和炭黑中的至少之一;在本公开一些实施方式中,第一导电剂包括单壁碳纳米管。
在本公开一些实施方式中,上述第一负极层200还包括第一粘结剂,第一粘结剂包括但不限于聚丙烯酸、海藻酸钠和聚酰亚胺中的至少之一;在本公开一些实施方式中,第一粘结剂包括聚丙烯酸。
在本公开一些实施方式中,硅基活性材料或硅基活性材料与石墨的复合材料、第一导电剂、第一粘结剂和压弹添加剂的质量比为100:0.1-2.5:0.1-30:3-30,例如100:0.5-2.5:0.1-30:3-30,100:1-2.3:0.1-30:3-30,100:1.2-2:0.1-30:3-30,100:1.5-2:0.1-30:3-30,100:0.1-2.5:0.5-30:3-30,100:0.1-2.5:1-30:3-30,100:0.1-2.5:5-25:3-30,100:0.1-2.5:10-20:3-30,100:0.1-2.5:15-20:3-30,100:0.1-2.5:0.1-30:5-25,100:0.1-2.5:0.1-30:10-20,100:0.1-2.5:0.1-30:15-20。若第一导电剂添加量过高,则一方面增加成本,另一方面降低电芯能量密度,若第一导电剂添加量过低,则会降低电芯导电性能;若第一粘结剂添加量过高,则除了增加成本,降低电芯能量密度外,还会增大电池极化,增大电池内阻,若第一粘结剂添加量过低,则在电池循环过程中,硅基活性材料在反复膨胀收缩过程中,极片粉化,导致循环性能急剧下降;若压弹添加剂添加量过高,则增加成本外,会降低电池能量密度。
本公开一些实施方式中,压弹添加剂为三维石墨烯。本公开一些实施方式中,,该三维石墨烯满足下列(1)-(5)至少之一条件:
(1)所述三维石墨烯的粒径为500nm-20μm,例如1μm-20μm,3μm-18μm,5μm-15μm,7μm-13μm,10μm-12μm等;
(2)所述三维石墨烯的孔体积为1cm3/g-10cm3/g,例如3cm3/g-8cm3/g,5cm3/g-7cm3/g等;
(3)所述三维石墨烯包括相互搭接的石墨烯片,所述石墨烯片间的断裂强度为20N/m-50N/m,例如25N/m-45N/m,30N/m-45N/m,35N/m-45N/m,40N/m-45N/m等;
(4)所述三维石墨烯包括相互搭接的石墨烯片,所述石墨烯片的横向尺寸为10nm-100nm,例如10nm-20nm,20nm-100nm,30nm-90nm,40nm-80nm,50nm-70nm,;
(5)所述三维石墨烯的平均孔径不超过250nm,例如10nm,30nm,50nm,80nm,100nm,120nm,150nm,170nm,200nm,220nm,250nm等。
上述三维石墨烯的孔体积可以通过对三维石墨烯采用氮吸附法测得。上述石墨烯片的断裂强度可通过对三维石墨烯采用原子力显微镜(Atomic Force Microscope,AFM)对搭接处进行纳米压痕测试得到:将三维石墨烯固定在表面开设有小孔的硅片上,用探针对小孔上的石墨烯片施加一个压力,施加压力的位置应在相邻两石墨烯片材的搭接位置附近,记录能使两个石墨烯片材的搭接处断裂的临界压力,即获得石墨烯片间搭接处的断裂强度。上述横向尺寸是指石墨烯片材的长度或宽度等,可通过三维石墨烯的电子显微镜照片获知。
本申请一些实施方式中,上述三维石墨烯可以采用等离子体化学气相沉积法(PECVD)生长得到。示例性的制备方法包括以下步骤:将碳源(如C2H2)和H2的混合气体通入到等离子沉积设备中加热至一定温度的沉积室中,开启等离子体发生器,以在沉积室中放置的基底(如Cu)上通过PECVD法沉积生长三维石墨烯材料,待三维石墨烯的生长结束后,通入辅助气体(如Ar、He等)以在惰性气氛下使沉积室冷却至室温,之后将所得样品从沉积室取出,并从基底上将三维石墨烯材料剥离下来,并将其破碎至所需的粒径。通过调整生长条件,可以获得满足以下条件的三维石墨烯:粒径500nm-20μm、孔体积为1cm3/g-10cm3/g、由横向尺寸为10nm-100nm的石墨烯片相互搭接生长形成、平均孔径不超过250nm,石墨烯片间的断裂强度为20N/m-50N/m。
示例性的制备方法包括以下步骤:将碳源(如C2H2)和H2的混合气体通入到等离子沉积设备中加热至一定温度的沉积室中,开启等离子体发生器,以在沉积室中放置的基底(如Cu)上通过PECVD法沉积生长三维石墨烯材料,待三维石墨烯的生长结束后,通入辅助气体(如Ar、He等)以在惰性气氛下使沉积室冷却至室温,之后将所得样品从沉积室取出,并从基底上将三维石墨烯材料剥离下来,并将其破碎至所需的粒径。PECVD过程中可产生高能量密度和较大体积的等离子体,可将碳源C2H2分解成较多的含碳反应自由基,进而实现三维石墨烯的生长。其中,C2H2的通入流量为20mL/min,H2的通入流量为250mL/min,沉积生长的温度可以是950℃,辅助气体Ar的通入流量为200mL/min,等离子发生器的工作功率为300W。
具体的,足量的孔体积,可以保证三维石墨烯具有优良的压缩性能,适宜的孔径大小以及石墨烯片间的断裂强度,则保证三维石墨烯在压缩后具有良好的回弹性能,不会因压力导致结构坍塌,失去回弹性能。由此在电池循环过程中,稳定保持其压缩-回弹性能。具备以上特性的三维石墨烯,具有优异的压缩-回弹性能,从而使得制备得到的第一负极层200表现出较高的压弹特性,进而以缓冲负极片在充电过程中较大体积膨胀。
根据本公开的实施例,参考图1,第二负极层300设在第一负极层200上远离负极集流体100的表面上,并且第二负极层300包括石墨。发明人发现,由于硅与石墨具有不同的脱锂平台(硅脱锂平台0.4V-0.5V),而石墨的脱锂平台在0.1V左右,在全电池放电初期,石墨需要承担大部分的放电电流,因此导致石墨材料放电极化大,为了减小石墨负极放电极化,使得石墨负极迁出的锂离子快速迁移至正极,由此本申请将含石墨的第二负极层300形成第一负极层200上,即将含石墨的第二负极层300形成在负极片表层,因为石墨的快充性能优于含硅负极,因此有利于提高电池的瞬时充电以及大倍率瞬时放电性能。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,上述第二负极层300的单侧厚度为5μm-80μm,例如5μm、10μm、15μm、20μm、25μm、30μm、35μm、40μm、45μm、50μm、55μm、60μm、65μm、70μm、75μm、80μm。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,第二负极层300还包括第二导电剂,例如第二导电剂包括但不限于乙炔黑、导电炭黑等。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,第二负极层300还包括第二粘结剂,例如第二粘结剂包括但不限于羧甲基纤维素钠和丁苯橡胶等。
需要说明的是,本申请中形成第二负极层300的石墨、第二导电剂和第二粘结剂的混合比例可以是本领域形成石墨负极的常规设置。同时本申请中通过在含硅的第一负极层200上形成含石墨的第二负极层300,通过差异化第一负极层200与第二负极层300的导电剂以及粘结剂,可以分别保证第二负极层300中石墨与第一负极层200中硅基活性材料各自容量以及循环稳定性的发挥,显著降低了负极片的成本。
本公开中,在沿所述负极片厚度方向被施加压力X后,所述负极片的回弹率为2%-40%,所述负极片的压缩率为2%-40%;所述压力X满足0.3≤X≤5Mpa。由此,本申请的负极片在充放电过程中具有较低的体积变化率,从而在提高其电池能量密度的同时提高其循环稳定性。
另外,在实际应用中,用户在使用电池的过程中,通常不会将电池完全放电后才进行充电,属于浅放电的使用场景,这时,对于本申请提出的负极片,靠近负极集流体100的第一负极层200内的SiOx因其较高的放电平台,就不会放电或者仅放出少量的电量,也就是说SiOx在实际的使用过程中会经常处于浅放状态,这样减少了SiOx在循环过程中反复的体积膨胀,有助于电池循环性能的提升。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,本申请限定负极片中硅基负极材料占负极总活性材料质量的3%-90%,其中总活性材料指负极片中可进行脱嵌锂的所有活性材料,例如5%-90%,10%-90%,15%-85%,20%-80%,25%-75%,30%-70%,40%-60%,45%-50%。具体的,本申请中通过采用上述比例将硅基活性材料与石墨复配制备负极片,一方面可以解决双层涂布时层间分离的问题,另一方面,工艺实施难度和成本均较低,从而可以在降低成本的同时保持负极片中硅基活性材料和石墨性能的充分发挥,提高电池的能量密度。
由此,本申请的负极片不仅可以具有较低的成本,而且可以减小电池在充电过程中单次循环产生的体积膨胀率,从而在提高其电池能量密度的同时提高其循环稳定性。
为了方便理解,下面对制备上述负极片的方法进行描述。根据本公开的实施例,参考图2,该方法包括:
S100:在负极集流体上施加包括硅基活性材料和压弹添加剂的第一浆料
该步骤中,在负极集流体100上施加包括硅基活性材料和压弹添加剂的第一浆料,以便在负极集流体100上形成第一负极层200。发明人发现,压弹添加剂具有回弹性和压缩性,从而使得第一负极层200表现出压弹特性,在电池充电时,随着负极嵌锂,负极片体积逐渐膨胀,石墨负极在嵌锂时体积膨胀可达10%,而硅基活性材料,在嵌锂时体积膨胀更大,例如硅在嵌锂后体积膨胀可达300%,SiOx嵌锂后体积膨胀可达120%。在固定电池包体积的工况下(如圆柱电池),电芯因膨胀则会承受来自外部包体的压力,此时在压力作用下,第一负极层200中的压弹添加剂在压力作用下体积收缩,释放一部分空间给硅基活性材料,从而缓冲了硅基活性材料在嵌锂过程中产生的较大的体积膨胀,减缓了第一负极层200在嵌锂时的较大的体积膨胀率。而在放电的过程中,随着锂离子的脱出,负极片中活性材料逐渐体积收缩,此时电芯承受的外压力逐渐减小甚至消除,第一负极层200中的压弹添加剂发生回弹,体积逐渐恢复,占据活性材料体积收缩释放的空间,进而延缓第一负极层200因活性材料脱锂导致的体积收缩,因此具有压弹特性的第一负极层200可以缓冲负极片在充放电过程中较大体积变化。即具有压弹特性的第一负极层200可以缓冲负极片在充放电过程中较大体积变化。同时第一负极层200中的压弹添加剂在放电过程中体积回弹,一方面可以帮助第一负极层200中的硅基活性材料颗粒间良好的物理接触,保证良好的电子导电网络,再一方面,因为压弹添加剂可以减小第一负极层200在放电过程中的体积收缩率,因此可以缩小第一负极层200与第二负极层300在充放电过程中体积变化率的差异,避免在长期循环过程中第一负极层200与第二负极层300双层因体积膨胀率较大差异而导致双层逐渐出现裂纹分离的问题。
S200:在第一负极层上施加包括石墨的第二浆料
该步骤中,在上述第一负极层200上施加包括石墨的第二浆料,以便在第一负极层200上形成第二负极层300,得到负极片。发明人发现,由于硅与石墨具有不同的脱锂平台(硅脱锂平台0.4V-0.5V),而石墨的脱锂平台在0.1V左右,在全电池放电初期,石墨需要承担大部分的放电电流,因此导致石墨材料放电极化大,为了减小石墨负极放电极化,使得石墨负极迁出的锂离子快速迁移至正极,由此本申请将含石墨的第二负极层300形成第一负极层200上,即将含石墨的第二负极层300形成在负极片表层,因为石墨的快充性能优于含硅负极,因此提高电池的瞬时充电以及大倍率瞬时放电性能。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,该第二浆料可以进一步包括第二导电剂和第二粘结剂。本申请中通过在含硅的第一负极层200上形成含石墨的第二负极层300,通过差异化第一负极层200与第二负极层300的导电剂以及粘结剂,可以分别保证石墨与硅基活性材料各自容量以及循环稳定性的发挥,显著降低了负极片的成本。
在本公开的一些实施方式中,上述第一浆料中可以进一步包括第一粘结剂和/或第一导电剂。
由此,采用该方法可以制备得到上述具有较低的成本和较小单次循环产生的体积膨胀率,从而在提高其电池能量密度的同时提高其循环稳定性。需要说明的是,上述针对负极片所描述的特征和优点同样适用于该制备负极片的方法,同时第一浆料和第二浆料的固含量等均为本领域制备负极片的常规参数,此处不再赘述。
在本公开的第三个方面,本公开提出了一种二次电池。根据本公开的实施例,该二次电池包括上述的负极片。由此,该二次电池通过采用上述具有高能量密度和高循环稳定性的负极片,使得该二次电池表现出较高能量密度和较高的循环稳定性。需要说明的是,上述针对负极片及其制备方法所描述的特征和优点同样适用于该二次电池,此处不再赘述。
在本公开的第四个方面,本公开提出了一种用电设备。该用电设备可以是车、船等交通工具,也可以是笔记本电脑、移动终端等。根据本公开的实施例,该用电设备具有上述的二次电池。由此,该用电设备通过装载上述具有较高能量密度和较高循环稳定性的二次电池,使得用电设备具有优异的续航里程和安全性能。需要说明的是,上述针对二次电池所描述的特征和优点同样适用于该用电设备,此处不再赘述。

对实施例1-6以及对比例1-3所得负极片的回弹性能和压缩性能进行评价,对应结果如表2-3所示。
负极片回弹性能测试方法:对负极片施加X1Mpa的压力,测定在X1Mpa压力下负极片厚度H1,然后撤掉压力,待负极片厚度稳定后,再测定负极片的厚度H2,则极片的回弹率为:
极片回弹率r=(H2-H1)/H1
负极片压缩性能测试方法:对初始厚度为H3的极片施加一个压力X2Mpa,记录X2Mpa压力下极片的厚度H4,则负极片的压缩率为:
极片压缩率P=(H3-H4)/H3
表2负极片回弹性能和压缩性能数据(X1=0.5Mpa,X2=0.3Mpa)
表3负极片回弹性能和压缩性能数据(X1=5Mpa,X2=5Mpa)
结合表1-表3可以看出,实施例1-6的负极片,具有较高的回弹性能和压缩性能,同时通过实施例1与对比例2的数据可以看出,按照常规导电剂的加入量加入三维石墨烯时,因三维石墨烯加入量少,对比例2的极片不具有压缩回弹性能,与常规极片性能一样,其组装的电池循环300次后容量保持率明显低于实施例1-6。通过对比例3可知,虽然加入一定量的三维石墨烯然而极片回弹率和压缩率不在2%-40%范围内时,其循环性能相比于实施例也会一定程度上降低。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本公开的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对本公开专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本公开构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本公开的保护范围。因此,本公开专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
