Description

正极极片、电池及用电装置 技术领域
本申请涉及电池领域,具体涉及一种正极极片、电池及用电装置。
背景技术
节能减排是汽车产业可持续发展的关键,电动车辆由于其节能环保的优势成为汽车产业可持续发展的重要组成部分。对于电动车辆而言,电池技术又是关乎其发展的一项重要因素。
基于两种正极活性材料混合制作的正极活性材料层,相对于单一活性材料的正极活性材料层,能量密度或者安全性能等有一定的优化改善。
发明内容
本申请的发明人发现,收缩率差异较大的正极活性材料按照相近用量混合后,整个电池的动力学性能较差。本申请提供一种正极极片、电池及用电装置,能够改善电池的动力学性能。
第一方面,本申请提供了一种正极极片,包括集流体和设置于所述集流体的至少一侧表面的活性材料层,所述活性材料层包括至少一层混合活性材料层;所述混合活性材料层中,正极活性材料包括第一正极活性材料和第二正极活性材料,所述第二正极活性材料的收缩率T2大于所述第一正极活性材料的收缩率T1,且T2-T1≥0.3%,第一正极活性材料或第二正极活性材料的占比为所述混合活性材料层中的正极活性材料总质量的55%~95%。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,其中的混合活性材料层主要含有两类不同的正极活性材料混用搭配:一类是小收缩率的正极活性材料(收缩率为T1),另一类是大收缩率的正极活性材料(收缩率为T2)。混合活性材料层的两类正极活性材料之间存在一定程度的收缩率差异,且大收缩率的正极活性材料或小收缩率的正极活性材料的质量占比较大,如此降低了收缩率差异较大且含量相近的材料混合在同一层中,导致的动力学性能较差的问题。
在一些实施例中,混合活性材料层中,第一正极活性材料或第二正极活性材料的占比为正极活性材料总质量的65%~80%。大收缩率的正极活性材料或小收缩率的正极活性材料的质量占比较大,降低了收缩率差异较大且含量相近的材料混合在同一层中导致的动力学性能较差的问题。
在一些实施例中,T1的取值范围为0.3%-5.5%,T2的取值范围为1%-7%。通过对正极活性材料选择、配合,实现对两类正极活性材料的收缩率进行差异化调整。
在一些实施例中,T1的取值范围为0.5%-4%,T2的取值范围为3%-6.5%。
在一些实施例中,第二正极活性材料的平均粒径R2大于第一正极活性材料的平均粒径R1,且R2/R1≥2,可选地,100≥R2/R1≥5,可选地,100≥R2/R1≥10。将大收缩率、大平均粒径的第二正极活性材料和小收缩率、小平均粒径的第一正极活性材料混合,形成混合活性材料层有利于提升电池的能量密度,同时,相比于将粒径差异较大的活性材料按照相近用量同时放在同一层中进行混合,本实施例的方案能够进一步提高电池的动力学性能。
在一些实施例中,所述活性材料层包括至少两层子层,其中至少一层所述子层为所述混合活性材料层。
在一些实施例中,相邻设置的两层所述子层分别为第一混合活性材料层和第二混合活性材料层,所述第一混合活性材料层中的所述第一正极活性材料的收缩率为T1,所述第二正极活性材料的收缩率为T2,T2-T1≥0.3%,所述第二混合活性材料层中的正极活性材料包括第三正极活性材料和第四正极活性材料,所述第三正极活性材料的收缩率为T1’,所述第四正极活性材料的收缩率为T2’,T2’-T1’≥0.3%。活性材料层进行了分层,而且其中至少相邻的两层均为混合活性材料层,也是本申请可包含的实施方式,能够改善动力学性能较差的问题。
在一些实施例中,T2和T1’的差值不大于1%,和/或,T2’和T1的差值不大于1%。若两层混合活性材料层的正极活性材料的收缩率差值太大,界面接触不好,影响动力学性能。
在一些实施例中,第一混合活性材料层相比所述第二混合活性材料层更靠近所述集流体,所述T2-T1的值小于所述T2’-T1’的值。
在一些实施例中,相邻设置的两层子层中的一层为混合活性材料层,另一层为单活性材料层,单活性材料层的正极活性材料包括第一正极活性材料或第二正极活性材料。由于第一正极活性材料和第二正极活性材料的收缩率差异较大,将第一正极活性材料或第二正极活性材料单独设置,能够提高整个活性物质层的动力学性能。
在一些实施例中,单活性材料层比混合活性材料层更靠近集流体。单活性材料层与集流体接触,减小因第一正极活性材料和第二正极活性材料的收缩率差异较大导致活性材料层和集流体接触不好的问题。
在一些实施例中,单活性材料层的正极活性材料包括第一正极活性材料。本实施例为一种可替代方案,能够改善动力学性能较差的问题。
在一些实施例中,混合活性材料层中含有线性导电剂;可选地,混合活性材料层中,长度≥1μm的线性导电剂的质量占比为0.2%~1%;可选地,线性导电剂包括碳纳米管、碳纤维和线状石墨烯中的至少一种。在混合活性材料层中加入一定比例的线性导电物质,分散在不同正极活性材料周围,降低充放电过程中两类正极活性材料因收缩率差异带来的相互分离而造成的导电网络恶化,起到连接导通作用,在不同类的正极活性材料的接触界面变化时,保持导电网络稳定。
在一些实施例中,活性材料层包括至少两层子层,相邻的两层子层中,远离集流体一侧的子层的孔隙率≥30%,邻近集流体一侧的子层的孔隙率≥50%;
可选地,远离集流体一侧的子层的孔隙率≥50%,邻近集流体一侧的子层的孔隙率≥60%。活性材料层中,远离集流体一侧的子层接触电解液充足,邻近集流体一侧的子层接触电解液量少,通过不同子层的孔隙率设置不同,能够使电解液在不同子层内均充分浸润。

目前,从市场形势的发展来看,动力电池的应用越加广泛。动力电池不仅被应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统,而且还被广泛应用于电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车等电动交通工具,以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。随着动力电池应用领域的不断扩大,其市场的需求量也在不断地扩增。
动力电池可以是锂离子电池,在锂离子电池充电过程中,锂离子从正极活性物质脱出,通过电解液进行传输,经过隔离膜,嵌入负极活性物质。目前,基于不同正极活性材料混合制作的正极活性材料层,相对于单一活性材料的正极活性材料层,能量密度或安全性能等方面有提升,但是,发明人发现收缩率差异较大的正极活性材料按照相近用量混合后,整个电池的动力学性能依旧较差。另外,基于磷酸锰铁锂和三元材料进行分层的正极极片,相对于单一活性物质的正极极片,动力学性能也有一定的优化改善,但这种分层的正极极片中单层的活性物质单一,无法发挥分层涂布的全部优势。并且,这种以材料种类为标准区分上下层,视角单一,限制了分层技术的应用范围。
基于以上考虑,为了解决混合制作的活性材料层的性能提升受到限制的问题,设计了一种正极极片,通过对锂离子电池正极极片进行精细的结构化设计,提供明确的正极极片设计原则和设计依据,改善电池的动力学性能,提升电池的循环寿命。

为了证明膨胀率对电池性能的影响,实施例1~15和对比例1~2中所采用的所有第一材料的平均粒径均为0.2μm,所有第二材料的平均粒径均为1μm,将实施例1~13和对比例1~2所得的硬壳电池进行循环测试:
在25℃的恒温环境下,将全电池按照1C充电至4.3V,然后在4.3V下恒压充电至电流小于等于0.05mA。静置5min,然后按照1C放电至2.5V,记录此时的放电容量为D0,阻抗为X0。重复前述充放电循环500圈,记录最后一次的放电容量为D1,阻抗为X1,计算容量保持率为D1/D0×100%,阻抗增长率为(D1-D0)/D0×100%。
检测得到的电池的性能如表1所示:

结合表1的结果可知:
与对比例1~2相比,实施例1~15的正极极片的活性材料层至少含有一层大收缩率、小收缩率的正极活性材料按照大收缩率材料或小收缩率材料大质量占比形成的混合正极材料层,能够有效改善电池的动力学性能,在电池多次循环使用后,提高电池的容量保持率和降低电池的阻抗增长,即改善电池的动力学性能。
与对比例2相比,实施例1的正极极片活性材料层为一层大收缩率、小收缩率的正极活性材料按照高低质量比例形成的混合正极材料层,能够显著改善电池的动力学性能。实施例14的活性材料层为一层小收缩率、大收缩率的正极活性材料按照高低质量比例形成的混合正极材料层,也能够改善电池的动力学性能。

与实施例9相比,实施例2的正极极片中邻近集流体一侧的混合活性材料层中大收缩率、小收缩率的正极活性材料的收缩率差值比远离集流体一侧的收缩率差值更小,能够提高电池的容量保持率和降低电池的阻抗增长。
与对比例1相比,实施例10的正极极片采用多层混合正极材料层,实施例11的正极极片的每层混合正极材料层采用多种正极活性材料,且大收缩率的正极活性材料大占比,均能够提高电池的容量保持率和降低电池的阻抗增长。
与对比例1相比,实施例12~13的正极极片设置相邻的混合活性材料层和仅有一类正极活性材料的单活性材料层,单活性材料层的正极活性材料为混合活性材料层中的一类正极活性材料,能够在电池多次循环使用后,提高电池的容量保持率和降低电池的阻抗增长,即改善电池的动力学性能。
实施例1和实施例16~17、对比例2中所采用的所有第一材料相同,收缩率为2.5%,所有第二材料相同,收缩率为3%,区别在于第一材料的平均粒径R1和第二材料的平均粒径R2不完全相同,或者第一材料和第二材料的质量比例不同。采用上述相同的方法对实施例16~17所得的硬壳电池进行循环测试,检测得到的电池的性能如表2所示:

结合表2的结果可知:
混合活性层中的正极活性材料采用大收缩率的第二材料、小收缩率的第一材料选用,且第二材料的平均粒径(R2)和第一材料的平均粒径(R1)按照R2/R1≥2混合,可选R2/R1≥5,可选R2/R1≥10,能够在电池多次循环使用后,提高电池的容量保持率和降低电池的阻抗增长,即改善电池的动力学性能。
