正极浆料主要是由正极活性材料、导电剂、粘结剂和溶剂形成的固-液相混合体系。为了提高体系中不同组分分布的均匀性,常通过搅拌、球磨、超声等工艺进行合浆。然而,现有技术中的合浆工艺通常只适用于固定组分的浆料体系,通用性差,浆料中各组分的物性发生变化后,合浆工艺往往需要调整。例如,现有技术中的合浆工艺不能适用于高分子量粘结剂,申请人经过大量研究发现高分子量粘结剂能够有效降低极片中的粘结剂用量,有助于提高极片的负载量,但是含有高分子量粘结剂的浆料往往出货粘度大,浆料极易凝胶,难以满足极片的生产需求。

二、测试方法
1、重均分子量
采用Waters 2695 Isocratic HPLC型凝胶色谱仪(示差折光检测器2141)。以质量分数为3.0%的聚苯乙烯溶液试样做参比,选择匹配的色谱柱(油性:Styragel HT5DMF7.8×300mm+Styragel HT4)。用纯化后的N-甲基吡咯烷酮(NMP)溶剂配置3.0%的聚合物溶液,配置好的溶液静置一天,备用。测试时,先用注射器吸取四氢呋喃,进行冲洗,重复几次。然后吸取5ml实验溶液,排除注射器中的空气,将针尖擦干。最后将试样溶液缓缓注入进样口。待示数稳定后获取数据,读取重均分子量。
2、浆料粘度测试
使用旋转粘度剂测量浆料的粘度。选取合适的转子,固定好粘度计转子,将浆料放置于粘度计转子下方,浆料恰好淹没转子的刻度线,仪器型号:上海方瑞NDJ-5S,转子:63#(2000-10000mPa.s)、 64#(10000-50000mPa.s),转速:12转/分钟,测试温度:25℃,测试时间为5分钟,待示数稳定读取数据。
3、浆料静置24小时之后的粘度测试
将静置24小时后的浆料重新进行粘度测试,使用旋转粘度剂测量浆料的粘度。选取合适的转子,固定好粘度计转子,将浆料放置于粘度计转子下方,浆料恰好淹没转子的刻度线,仪器型号:上海方瑞NDJ-5S,转子:63#(2000-10000mPa.s)、64#(10000-50000mPa.s),转速:12转/分钟,测试温度:25℃,测试时间为5分钟,待示数稳定读取数据。
4、浆料静置24小时之后的凝胶状态测试
浆料静置24小时后,使用钢直尺挑起烧杯中的浆料,根据浆料流动状态判断浆料的凝胶状态。
无凝胶状态为浆料自然流动不断流,浆料在钢尺表面平流,无结块;
轻微凝胶状态为浆料自然流动不断流,但流体较细,浆料在钢尺表面基本平摊,有轻微小块;
中度凝胶状态为浆料自然滴落、时断时续;不连续成流,浆料在钢尺表面无法平摊,有明显块状团聚;
严重凝胶状态为浆料无法成流流下,结成块掉落或直接留在钢尺上无法流下。
5、过滤性能测试
取500ml烧杯置于200目滤网支架下端,取导电浆料500ml,置于滤网中过滤,记录烧杯中浆料体积到达300ml时的时间,记录时间。
6、极片的粘结力测试
参考GB-T2790-1995国标《胶粘剂180°剥离强度实验方法》,本申请实施例和对比例的粘结力测试过程如下:用刀片截取宽度为30mm,长度为100-160mm的试样,将专用双面胶贴于钢板上,胶带宽度20mm,长度90-150mm。将前面截取的极片试样的涂层面贴在双面胶上,后用2kg压辊沿同一个方向滚压三次。将宽度与极 片等宽,长度为250mm的纸带固定于极片集流体上,并且用皱纹胶固定。打开三思拉力机电源(灵敏度为1N),指示灯亮,调整限位块到合适位置,将钢板未贴极片的一端用下夹具固定。将纸带向上翻折,用上夹具固定,利用拉力机附带的手动控制器上的“上行”和“下行”按钮调整上夹具的位置。然后进行测试并读取数值,拉伸速度为50mm/min。将极片受力平衡时的力除以胶带的宽度作为单位长度的极片的粘结力,以表征正极膜层与集流体之间的粘结强度。
