- the present application performs multiple tests on the negative electrode plate in Example 1. For example, ion polishing cross-sectional element analysis (CP) is performed at 10 locations of the negative electrode plate in accordance with GB/T 17359-2012 to confirm the thickness of the negative electrode film layer in the negative electrode plate.
- the thickness deviation of the negative electrode film layer obtained from the 10 tests is controlled within the range of 0.5%. It can be considered that the thickness of the negative electrode film layer in the negative electrode plate is uniform and the thickness consistency is high.
- the present application adopts the method described in Example 1 to prepare 10 lithium-ion batteries, and measures the average thickness of the negative electrode film layer of each lithium-ion battery, that is, ion polishing cross-sectional element analysis (CP) is performed with reference to GB/T 17359-2012, and the thickness of the negative electrode film layer at 10 locations in the negative electrode sheet is measured, and the average value is calculated as the average thickness of the lithium-ion battery.

如本文所用,术语“聚合物”是指由多于十个单体单元组成的分子复合物并且通常包括但不限于均聚物、共聚物,例如嵌段、接枝、无规和交替共聚物、三元共聚物、和更高级的“x”聚体,进一步包括它们的类似物、衍生物、组合和混合物。此外,除非另有具体限制,术语“聚合物”应包括分子的所有可能的异构构型,包括但不限于全同立构、间同立构和随机对称及其组合。此外,除非另有具体限制,否则术语“聚合物”应包括分子的所有可能的几何构型。
负极极片包括负极集流体和设置于负极集流体至少一侧的负极膜层,负极膜层由负极浆料涂覆于负极集流体上干燥形成,负极浆料形成负极膜层的过程中可能会发生开裂等现象,导致负极极片不满足生产要求。为了改善负极膜层开裂现象,相关技术在负极浆料中添加增塑剂例如丁二醇等,增塑剂通常为小分子化合物(其分子量相对较小),增塑剂能够进入粘结剂聚合物分子链之间,降低粘结剂聚合物分子间应力,降低聚合物分子链的结晶度,由此提升负极膜层塑形能力和柔韧性,改善负极膜层开裂现象,但是残留的增塑剂容易导致负极膜层厚度不均匀,使得负极膜层出现暗痕、析出金属等界面问题。
鉴于上述问题,本申请实施方式提出了一种聚合物,该聚合物可以作为负极膜层中的分散剂,聚合物包括改性羧甲基纤维素盐类,即对羧甲基纤维素盐类进行接枝改性,使得聚合物具有较好的柔性,在应用于负极浆料时,能够对负极活性材料等起到分散作用,并能够对负极浆料起到增稠作用,改善负极膜层的柔韧性,改善负极膜层开裂现象。
聚合物
第一方面,本申请实施方式提出了一种聚合物,包括改性羧甲基纤维素盐类,所述改性羧甲基纤维素盐类是羧甲基纤维素盐类中至少一个羟基的氢原子取代为接枝基团,所述接枝基团包括聚醚类基团、取代或未取代的聚烃基中的至少一种。
羧甲基纤维素盐类(CMC-M)是一类阴离子型水溶性纤维素醚化衍生物,在其应用于负极浆料时,能够降低负极活性材料和溶剂之间的界面张力,对负极活性材料等起到良好的分散作用,在搅拌作用下,有利于负极活性材料均匀分散于溶剂中形成稳定的浆料体系。
羧甲基纤维素盐类的分子链中富含羟基(-OH),羟基的存在使得羧甲基纤维素盐类自身的分子链之间能够形成较强的范德华力或氢键,而且羧甲基纤维素盐类可能能够与负极活性材料等形成较强的范德华力或氢键,使得负极浆料在干燥过程中具有较强的干燥应力而发生翘曲,并在进一步过辊过程中可能会发生开裂,使得负极膜层发生开裂现象。
而本申请实施方式的聚合物可以看作是改性羧甲基纤维素盐类,即通过对羧甲基纤维
素盐类(CMC-M)的侧链进行接枝改性得到的聚合物,聚合物所包括的重复单元可以为一种或多种,通过对羧甲基纤维素盐类的侧链接枝,接枝基团取代羟基中的氢原子,破坏羧甲基纤维素盐类中的羟基结构,从而破坏规整的氢键结构,减少氢键数量;而且对羟基中的氢原子取代的基团包括聚醚类基团、聚烃基等,该类基团基本不能够形成氢键,从而能够降低聚合物分子链之间的作用力,提高聚合物网络的自由体积,促进聚合物分子链之间的相对运动,由此减少干燥时产生应力,并提升负极膜层的柔韧性,降低负极膜层发生开裂的风险,改善负极膜层的界面性能。而且聚合物由于主体结构仍为羧甲基纤维素盐类,故其仍具有较好的分散作用,能够有效降低负极活性材料和溶剂之间的界面张力,使得负极活性材料均匀分散于负极浆料中,使得负极膜层的厚度分布均匀。由此,聚合物可以应用于负极浆料(或负极极片的负极膜层)中作为分散剂。
在一些实施方式中,改性羧甲基纤维素盐类包括改性羧甲基纤维素锂盐、改性羧甲基纤维素钠盐或者改性羧甲基纤维素铵盐中的至少一种。上述材质具有良好的分散性。
在另一些实施方式中,改性羧甲基纤维素盐类还可以包括改性羧甲基纤维素钾盐等。

式(A)中,M包括Li、Na或NH4中的至少一种;
R1至R5各自独立地包括氢原子、C5至C150聚醚类基团、取代或未取代的C5至C150饱和烷基、取代或未取代的C5至C150聚烯基中的至少一种,且R1至R5中的至少一者包括C5至C150聚醚类基团、取代或未取代的C5至C150饱和烷基、取代或未取代的C5至C150聚烯基中的至少一种,其中,所述接枝基团包括R1至R5中的非氢原子基团;n表示所述改性羧甲基纤维素盐类的聚合度。
上述材质具有良好的分散性和较弱的氢键作用,且由于接枝基团具有相对较长的链段,能够进一步减弱氢键作用,提高聚合物应用于负极膜层中的柔性作用。
可选地,n包括1500至3000中的任一正整数。示例性地,n可以为1500、1600、1700、1800、1900、2000、2100、2200、2300、2400、2500、2600、2700、2800、2900或3000。
非氢原子基团表示不是氢原子基团,即R1至R5均取代羟基中的氢原子时,R1至R5可以认为均是接枝基团;若R1至R5中的其中一个,例如R1为氢原子,则R1并非接枝基团。
改性羧甲基纤维素盐类中的重复单元可以包括一种或多种,聚合物可以包括一种或多种改性羧甲基纤维素盐类。
需要说明的是,R1至R5中的至少一者包括聚醚类基团、取代或未取代的聚烃基中的至少一种,可以理解为聚合物中至少一个羟基中的氢原子被取代,即R1至R5中的至少一者不为氢原子,例如R1至R5中的其中四个为氢原子、或其中三个为氢原子、或其中两个为氢原
子、其中一个为氢原子,甚至R1至R5可以均不为氢原子,随着氢原子数量的减少,意味着聚合物中被取代的羟基数量增多,被取代的羟基数量越多,聚合物分子链之间的作用力越小,负极浆料的干燥应力越小,负极膜层不易发生开裂等现象,其界面性能得到提升。在R1至R5可以均不为氢原子的情况下,聚合物基本不包含羟基,聚合物所包含的氢键数量较少,聚合物分子链之间的作用较小,干燥应力明显下降,负极膜层不易发生开裂等现象,其界面性能得到提升。

测试部分
1、负极浆料过滤性测试:

2、负极浆料凝胶及沉降状态:
取负极浆料500ml,放置不同时间观察负极浆料是否出现果冻凝胶状态,并且测试其浆料粘度,若测试烧杯上层浆料粘度下降,且下层浆料变稠,则说明出现浆料沉降。
3、负极膜层的涂布克重:
涂布窗口衡量涂布产品的质量稳定性的大致临界范围,超过此范围则导致开裂等缺陷。采用挤压涂布机并以50m/min速度进行涂布,随着对比例和实施例的负极极片涂布质量逐渐质量,观察膜层有无开裂情况,如果没有开裂,继续增加重量,直至极片表面膜层产生开裂,记录负极膜层的所能负载的不开裂涂布重量,即为表1中负极膜层的涂布克重。
4、锂离子电池的直流阻抗测试
电池直流阻抗测试过程如下:在25℃下,将实施例和对比例制备的锂离子电池,分别以1/3C恒流充电至4.2V,再以4.2V恒定电压充电至电流为0.05C,搁置5min后,记录电压V1。然后再以1/3C放电30s,记录电压V2,则(V2-V1)/(1/3C),得到锂离子电池的内阻DCR。
测试结果
测试结果如表1所示
表1
上述各实施例和对比例,经凝胶及沉降测试,负极浆料无沉降,无凝胶,负极浆料的状态相对稳定。
由表1可知,对比例1在负极浆料中添加有分散剂羧甲基纤维素钠CMC-Na,该羧甲基纤维素钠并未经过侧链改性,其在负极浆料中有利于提升负极活性物质的分散性能,但
是由于羧甲基纤维素钠自身存在的氢键作用,不利于负极浆料的厚涂布,其涂布克重较小,且负极浆料干燥为负极膜层的过程中,容易导致负极膜层发生开裂等问题。
相较于对比例1,对比例2在负极浆料中还添加有增塑剂,增塑剂能够有效改善负极膜层塑形能力和柔韧性,有利于负极浆料的厚涂布,其涂布克重得到提升,并能够改善负极膜层开裂现象;但是经过测试发现,添加有增塑剂的负极膜层,负极膜层的厚度不均匀,且负极膜层的阻抗较高。
而本申请实施例在负极浆料中并未添加增塑剂,为了提升负极膜层的性能均一性,对分散剂羧甲基纤维素钠进行了侧链接枝改性,能够降低分散剂的氢键作用,提升负极膜层的性能,降低负极膜层发生开裂等问题;并且还能够进一步降低负极膜层的阻抗,提升锂离子电池的动力学性能。实施例1、实施例3-1至实施例3-4对负极浆料中的分散剂的添加量进行调控,能够有效调节负极浆料的厚涂布程度,并改善负极膜层的柔韧性,降低负极膜层的阻抗等。
实施例3-4的分散剂包括两类,一类为本申请的聚合物(改性羧甲基纤维素钠),另一类为羧甲基纤维素钠,相较于实施例3-4,实施例1的分散剂的添加量和实施例3-4的分散剂的添加量相同,但是实施例1的涂布性能和锂离子电池的性能明显有进一步改善。
本申请对实施例1中的负极极片进行多处检测,例如取负极极片的10处参照GB/T 17359-2012进行离子抛光断面元素分析(CP),确认负极极片中负极膜层的厚度,10处测试得到的负极膜层的厚度偏差控制在0.5%范围内,可以认为负极极片中负极膜层的厚度均匀,厚度一致性较高。
本申请采用实施例1所述的方法制备10个锂离子电池,对每个锂离子电池测定其负极膜层的平均厚度,即参照GB/T 17359-2012进行离子抛光断面元素分析(CP),测定负极极片中10处的负极膜层的厚度,计算其平均值作为该锂离子电池的平均厚度,10个锂离子电池的负极膜层的厚度偏差控制为0.5%范围内。
尽管已经演示和描述了说明性实施方式,本领域技术人员应该理解上述实施方式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、原理及范围的情况下对实施方式进行改变,替代和修改。
