在二次电池充电过程中,对于负极极片而言通常需要经过以下电化学过程:(1)溶剂化的锂离子脱溶剂化过程(2)脱溶剂化后的锂离子穿过固态电解质膜;(3)锂离子在活性物质和固态电解质膜界面处的电荷转移反应;(4)锂离子在活性物质的固相扩散。
负极极片在成型过程中,通常需要进行冷压等工序,冷压后的负极膜层表面容易出现闭孔等问题,不利于电解液快速浸润到负极膜层靠近负极集流体的一侧,导致活性离子例如锂离子在负极膜层的两侧的浓度差异较大,即形成锂离子浓差极化问题,锂离子在负极膜层背离负极集流体的表面容易发生析锂,析出的金属锂会进一步增大锂离子进入负极活性物质内部的势垒,由此可能会进一步恶化浓差极化问题;锂离子进一步在负极膜层表面析出可能进一步形成锂枝晶,锂枝晶可能会刺破隔离膜导致正极极片和负极极片短接,引发安全风险。并且,由于活性离子的液相传导速率较慢,导致二次电池的快速充电能力较差。
鉴于此,发明人从改善负极极片的结构出发,以期获得能够兼顾快速充电能力和安全性能的负极极片。接下来对负极极片的具体结构进行说明。
负极极片
第一方面,本申请提出了一种负极极片。
如图1至图4所示,所述负极极片521包括负极集流体5211和设置于负极集流体5211至少一个表面上的负极膜层5212,负极膜层5212包括具有朝向背离负极集流体5211的方向开口的浸润腔5213,浸润腔5213沿第一方向延伸,负极膜层5212沿第一方向的尺寸记为Aμm,浸润腔5213沿第一方向的尺寸记为A 1μm,0.1≤A 1/A≤1。
作为示例,负极集流体5211具有在其自身厚度方向相对的两个表面,负极膜层5212设置在负极集流体5211相对的两个表面中的任意一者或两者上。
发明人通过大量研究发现,浸润腔5213的设计参数对二次电池的快速充电能力和安全性能均具有一定程度的影响,尤其是0.1≤A 1/A≤1时,由于浸润腔的存在,活 性离子例如锂离子在负极极片中的扩散路径变短,能够显著地改善负极膜层两侧浓差极化的问题,改善二次电池的安全性能和快充能力。
在本申请中,浸润腔5213沿第一方向延伸,是指浸润腔5213可以类似于直线型的延伸趋势,也可以指浸润腔5213的整体趋势为近似沿第一方向延伸,例如浸润腔5213可以包含弧形段等。第一方向可以与负极极片的长度方向具有夹角β°,0≤β<180°。可选地,0≤β≤30°或者150≤β<180°。当β=0时,表示第一方向与负极极片的长度方向平行,或者近似平行。当β>0时,表示第一方向与负极极片的方向具有一定的夹角。当β=90°时,表示第一方向与负极极片的宽度方向平行,或者近似平行。
平行于负极极片521的宽度方向或长度方向,或者其它方向。图1中示出的X方向表示第一方向,该第一方向与负极极片521的宽度方向平行。
A 1和A的数值可采用软尺或者扫面电子显微镜测量得到。
活性离子在负极膜层5212中的液相传导包括两种途径,一种途径是:活性离子能够经负极膜层5212的表面向负极膜层5212内部扩散;另一种途径是:由于浸润腔5213中存储有电解液,此时相当于电解液浸润于负极膜层5212内部,该部分电解液中的活性离子能够直接由浸润腔5213向负极膜层5212的内部迁移,并且迁移至负极活性物质中的路径相对较短,能够显著改善负极膜层5212两侧浓差极化的问题,改善二次电池的安全性能和快充能力。可选地,0.2≤A 1/A≤1。示例性地,A 1/A可以为0.1、0.2、0.5、0.6、0.8、0.9、1或是上述任意两个数值组成的范围。
结合图5至图7,负极极片521制作为成品时,其呈现为片状结构,具有预设的长度、高度和宽度。负极极片521、正极极片522以及隔离膜523形成电极组件52时,可以沿着负极极片521的长度方向卷绕;将电极组件52放入壳体51所组成二次电池5时,二次电池5的高度方向可以与负极极片521的长度方向平行,也可以与负极极片521的宽度方向平行。图7中示出的X方向表示二次电池5的高度方向与负极极片521的宽度方向平行。
由于重力作用会导致二次电池5内的电解液积聚于底部,导致电解液对位于底部的电极组件52的浸润较为充分,对远离底部的电极组件52的浸润较差,电解液对电极组件52整体的浸润性能不均一;在二次电池5充放电循环过程中,活性离子例如锂离子在远离底部的电极组件52中进行迁移时,可能由于缺少电解液导致锂离子无法嵌入负极极片521中,从而使得锂离子在负极极片521表面析出。
进一步地,浸润腔5213的延伸方向(第一方向)与所述二次电池5的高度方向可以具有夹角δ°,0≤δ<180°。在浸润腔5213的延伸方向与二次电池5的高度方向的夹角在一定范围时,能够有效地改善活性离子例如锂离子在液相中的迁移速率,有利于提升二次电池5的快速充电性能。可选地,0≤δ≤30°或者150≤δ<180°;进一步可选地,所述浸润腔5213沿所述二次电池5的高度方向延伸,即第一方向与二次电池5的高度方向平行,平行可以是指绝对平行或近似平行。示例性地,δ°可以为0、5°、12°、15°、25°、30°、150°、155°、160°、170°、175°、179°或是上述任意两个数值组成的范围内。
浸润腔5213的延伸方向与二次电池5的高度方向平行;在此情况下,可能是负极极片521的长度方向与二次电池的高度方向平行,也可能是负极极片521的宽度方向与二次电池5的高度方向平行。图7中示出的X方向表示二次电池5的高度方向与负极极片521的宽度方向平行。
电解液在浸润腔5213中可以由二次电池5的底部引导至顶部,在二次电池5的高度方向上电解液对电极组件52的浸润较为均匀,在高度方向上活性离子的迁移速率相差不大,从而能够保证电极组件52在充放电过程中性能均一,进一步改善二次电池5的快充能力和安全性能。
当然,浸润腔5213的延伸方向除了可以平行于二次电池5的高度方向,也可以与高度方向相交。在此情况下,浸润腔5213仍具有将位于底部的电解液引导至顶部的能力。
发明人进一步研究发现,除了浸润腔5213的延伸长度和延伸方向对二次电池的快速充电能力和安全性能具有影响,浸润腔5213的其它尺寸参数如果能够满足以下条件中的一者或多者,将进一步改善二次电池5的性能。
在一些实施方式中,负极膜层5212在负极极片521的厚度方向上的尺寸记为dμm;浸润腔5213在负极极片521的厚度方向上的尺寸记为d 1μm;负极极片521满足:0.01≤d 1/d<1。可选地,0.2≤d 1/d≤0.8。图4中示出了d 1和d,图3和图4示出的Z方向表示厚度方向。
负极膜层5212在厚度方向上的尺寸d即负极膜层5212的厚度,其为本领域公知的含义,可以采用本领域公知的设备或方法测试得到,具体地,可采用万分尺测量得到,例如可使用型号为Mitutoyo293-100、精度为0.1μm的万分尺测量得到。本发明的负极膜层5212厚度是指经冷压压实后并用于组装电池的负极极片521中的负极膜片的厚度。
浸润腔5213在厚度方向的尺寸,可以采用扫描电子显微镜SEM获取厚度数据。
研究发现,浸润腔5213在负极极片521的厚度方向上的尺寸满足上述关系时,能够降低因工艺偏差带来的尺寸波动的影响,并且能够使得电解液充分浸润于负极膜层5212的内部,使得活性离子在负极膜层5212内的迁移更迅速,从而进一步降低浓差极化的风险,改善二次电池的快速充电能力和安全性能。示例性地,d 1/d可以为0.01、0.1、0.2、0.3、0.5、0.6、0.7、0.8、0.9、0.95或0.99;或是上述数据所组成的范围。
d 1/d=1表示浸润腔5213完全贯通负极膜层5212,电解液可以通过浸润腔5213直接与负极集流体5211相接触,活性离子能够直接在负极集流体5211的表面上得电子。
在一些实施方式中,浸润腔5213平行于第二方向的截面包括第一边缘5214和第二边缘5215,第一边缘5214和第二边缘5215沿厚度方向彼此相对,第一边缘5214背离负极集流体5211设置,第二边缘5215靠近负极集流体5211设置;第二方向、第一方向和厚度方向两两垂直。图3和图4示出的Z方向表示厚度方向,Y方向表示第 二方向。
浸润腔5213的第一边缘5214的尺寸和第二边缘5215的尺寸是本领域公知的含义,其可以采用本领域公知的设备和方法测试得到,具体地可以采用扫描电子显微镜SEM获取孔截面进行表征。
浸润腔5213的第一边缘5214的尺寸记为x 1μm,第一边缘5214的尺寸较小时,由浸润腔5213迁移至负极膜层5212内的活性离子相对较少,其改善活性离子迁移的能力相对较小;第一边缘5214的尺寸较大时,负极膜层5212整体的克容量较小,二次电池的能量密度较小。浸润腔5213的第一边缘5214的尺寸满足:20≤x 1≤100时,进一步满足20≤x 1≤80时,能够兼顾二次电池的快充能力和安全性能等。
浸润腔5213的第二边缘5215的尺寸记为x 2μm,第二边缘5215的尺寸较小时,由浸润腔5213迁移至负极膜层5212内的活性离子相对较小,其改善活性离子迁移的能力相对较小;第二边缘5215的尺寸较大时,负极膜层5212整体的克容量较小,二次电池的能量密度较小。浸润腔5213的第一边缘5214的尺寸满足:20≤x 2≤5000时,进一步满足20≤x 2≤80时,能够兼顾二次电池的快充能力、安全性能和能量密度等。
进一步地,0≤|x 1-x 2|≤60。
浸润腔5213的结构形式可以根据生产需求灵活设置,浸润腔5213的第一边缘5214和第二边缘5215的尺寸的设置可以调控活性离子嵌入负极活性物质的速度,改善二次电池的快充能力。
x 1-x 2=0时,表示浸润腔5213的截面可以为规则的四边形结构(例如长方形、正方形等),x 1-x 2>0或者x 1-x 2<0时,表示浸润腔5213的截面可以为梯形等结构;当然浸润腔5213的截面除了包含上述四边形结构,还可以为五边形、六边形、七边形等规则多边形或不规则多边形;不规则的多边形可以为边长不相等的多边形,也可以为包含弧形的多边形结构等。
在一些实施方式中,浸润腔5213的截面还可以包括沿第二方向彼此相对的两个侧边5216,两个侧边5216通过第二边缘5215连接,两个侧边5216中的其中一个与第二边缘5215构成的夹角记为θ°,0<θ≤150。
浸润腔5213的侧边5216与第二边缘5215构成的夹角是本领域公知的含义,其可以采用本领域公知的设备和方法测试得到,具体地可以采用扫描电子显微镜SEM获取孔截面进行表征,确定夹角数据。
浸润腔5213的结构形式可以根据生产需求灵活设置,浸润腔5213的侧边5216和第二边缘5215的夹角的设置可以调控活性离子嵌入负极活性物质的速度,改善二次电池的快充能力。
在一些实施方式中,负极膜层5212的孔隙率记为P%,10≤P≤40。
负极膜层5212的孔隙率P%为本领域公知的含义,可以采用本领域已知的设备或方法测试,具体地,可以通过气体置换法得到,孔隙率P=(V 1-V 2)/V 1×100%,V 1表示表观体积,V 2表示真实体积。
负极膜层5212的孔隙率P%会影响活性离子在负极膜层5212孔道内部的液相传导能力,孔隙率P%越高,负极膜层5212内部的孔道结构越多,负极极片521的电解液浸润性能越好,活性离子在负极膜层5212内部的液相传导速度越快,在二次电池快速充电时,活性离子更容易嵌入负极活性物质内,同时还可以降低活性离子在负极膜层5212表面还原析出而长出锂枝晶的风险,二次电池反复充放电过程只能够不可逆容量损失较小,二次电池的循环寿命增加;但是随着孔隙率P%的进一步增加,二次电池的能量密度的损失也会越来越严重。负极膜层5212的孔隙率P%在上述范围时,可以改善二次电池的快充能力和能量密度。示例性地,负极膜层5212的孔隙率可以为10%、12%、15%、18%、20%、25%、30%、35%、40%或是上述任意两个数值组成的范围。
在一些实施方式中,浸润腔5213设置为多个,多个浸润腔5213间隔设置。
多个浸润腔5213的设置能够进一步改善活性离子在负极膜层5212内的液相传导速度,使得活性离子能够更迅速地嵌入负极活性物质内,改善二次电池的快充能力。
在一些实施方式中,负极集流体5211可采用金属箔片或复合集流体。例如,作为金属箔片,可以采用铜箔。复合集流体可包括高分子材料基层和形成于高分子材料基材至少一个表面上的金属层。复合集流体可通过将金属材料(铜、铜合金、镍、镍合金、钛、钛合金、银及银合金等)形成在高分子材料基材(如聚丙烯(PP)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯(PBT)、聚苯乙烯(PS)、聚乙烯(PE)等的基材)上而形成。
在一些实施方式中,负极膜层5212包括负极活性物质。负极活性物质可采用本领域公知的用于电池的负极活性物质。作为示例,负极活性物质可包括以下材料中的至少一种:人造石墨、天然石墨、软炭、硬炭、硅基材料、锡基材料和钛酸锂等。硅基材料可选自单质硅、硅氧化合物、硅碳复合物、硅氮复合物以及硅合金中的至少一种。锡基材料可选自单质锡、锡氧化合物以及锡合金中的至少一种。但本申请并不限定于这些材料,还可以使用其他可被用作电池负极活性物质的传统材料。这些负极活性物质可以仅单独使用一种,也可以将两种以上组合使用。

测试部分
1、二次电快速充电性能测试
在25℃下,将上述制备的二次电池以0.33C恒流充电至充电截止电压4.4V,之后恒压充电至电流为0.05C,静置5min,再以0.33C恒流放电至放电截止电压2.8V,记录其实际容量为C0。
然后将二次电池依次以0.5C0、1C0、1.5C0、2C0、2.5C0、3C0、3.5C0、4C0、4.5C0恒流充电至全电池充电截止电压4.4V或者0V负极截止电位(以先达到者为准),每次充电完成后需以1C0放电至全电池放电截止电压2.8V,记录不同充电倍率下充电至10%、20%、30%……80%SOC(State of Charge,荷电状态)时所对应的负极电位,绘制出不同SOC态下的倍率-负极电位曲线,线性拟合后得出不同SOC态下负极电位为0V时所对应的充电倍率,该充电倍率即为该SOC态下的充电窗口,分别记为C10%SOC、C20%SOC、C30%SOC、C40%SOC、C50%SOC、C60%SOC、C70%SOC、C80%SOC,根据公式(60/C20%SOC+60/C30%SOC+60/C40%SOC+60/C50%SOC+60/C60%SOC+60/C70%SOC+60/C80%SOC)×10%计算得到该二次电池从10%SOC充电至80%SOC的充电时间T。充电时间T越短,则代表二次电池的快速充电性能越优秀。
2、采用二次电池的热失控温度评述其安全性能,热失控温度的测试
环境温度调节为25℃,将上述制备的二次电池以1C充电到4.25V,随后恒压充电到0.05C,将二次电池放到加热炉中,加热炉按照10℃/min升温,保温10min,直至二次电池出现热失控,流程截止。记录二次电池热失控时加热炉监控的温度,即为热失控温度。
虽然已经参考优选实施例对本申请进行了描述,但在不脱离本申请的范围的情况下,可以对其进行各种改进并且可以用等效物替换其中的部件。尤其是,只要不存在结构冲突,各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。本申请并不局限于文中公开的特定实施例,而是包括落入权利要求的范围内的所有技术方案。
