正极极片作为电池的重要组成部件,其性能好坏对电池性能的影响至关重要。
为了进一步提升电池的能量密度,目前通常采用的做法是制备厚涂布的正极极片,或者制备高压实密度的正极极片。但是,厚涂布和/或高压实密度的正极极片的柔韧性和加工性能通常较差,在弯折、卷绕或者电极组件热压时,容易出现正极膜层开裂或者部分正极膜层从正极集流体表面脱落(即掉粉)等问题;并且正极极片中残余的溶剂(例如水、N-甲基吡咯烷酮等)还难以充分去除,由此还使得正极膜层的电解液浸润性较差,难以使电解液充分分布在正极膜层中,进而还影响了电池的倍率性能。
因此,如何使电池在具有高能量密度的前提下,还具备良好的加工性能和倍率性能仍是目前需要解决的技术难题。
鉴于此,发明人提出了一种新的聚噻吩导电聚合物,将其用于正极极片中,经过激
光照射处理后,可以提升正极极片的加工性能,还可以使电池兼顾高能量密度和良好的倍率性能。

为了降低正极电阻,目前通常采用的做法是在配制正极浆料时提高正极导电剂,例如导电碳的用量,由此不仅可以降低正极膜层的整体电阻,而且可以改善电池的倍率性能。但是,对于高能量密度电池体系而言,由于正极极片的涂布重量大、压实密度高,导电碳的分散均匀性变差,因此采用上述方法对于电池内阻和倍率性能的改善作用有限,同时正极极片和电池的加工性能仍比较差。
发明人研究发现,通过使正极极片包括本申请实施例提供的聚噻吩导电聚合物,可以提升正极极片的内聚力和粘结力、提升正极极片的电解液浸润性、改善正极极片的加工性能和动力学性能,进而可以使电池兼顾高能量密度和良好的倍率性能。

正极极片中的正极活性材料对于蓝光(波长为445-505nm)的吸收率较低,而本申请实施例提供的聚噻吩导电聚合物则具有较高的蓝光吸收能力,因此,通过将本申请实施例提供的聚噻吩导电聚合物用于正极极片中,并通过蓝光照射正极极片,可以快速进行光热转换、提高加热效率,还可以降低蓝光照射对正极活性材料的不利影响。
通过蓝光照射可以使聚噻吩导电聚合物被快速加热,由此可以释放部分应力,从而有利于形成孔隙率较高的正极膜层,进而可以降低残余的溶剂量,还可以提升正极极片的电解液浸润性。通过蓝光照射还可以去除正极极片加工过程中引入的分散剂与表面活性剂等物质,同时加热效率高,且加热温度通常高于正极粘结剂的软化点,由此还使得正极粘结剂可以在正极极片厚度方向均匀分布,从而有助于提升正极极片的内聚力和粘结力、降低正极电阻,进而可以提升电池的倍率性能。
在一些实施例中,激光发生方式可以为连续发射。

0.7g/1540.25mm2、压实密度为2.4g/cm3的正极极片。
对比例2-2
电池的制备方法与实施例2-2类似,不同之处在于正极极片的制备工艺不同。
将体积分布粒径Dv50为5μm的正极活性材料磷酸铁锂与海藻酸钠、均聚聚噻吩(单体为噻吩,数均分子量在15000-20000之间)、导电炭黑(Super P)按照重量比96.5:1.5:1.4:0.6加入去离子水中均匀分散,得到正极浆料;将正极浆料双面涂布于20μm厚的1070铝箔上,随后烘干蒸发溶剂,再经过冷压得到面密度为0.7g/1540.25mm2、压实密度为2.4g/cm3的初始正极极片。

由表4至表6可知,本申请实施例提供的正极极片经过蓝光照射后,具有电阻小、粘结力高、孔隙率高、克容量高的特点,应用于电池中,可以降低电池内阻并提升电池的倍率性能。
实施例2-1至2-23的正极极片中的正极导电剂包括官能团化的聚噻吩导电聚合物,其对蓝光波长的吸收率更高,蓝光照射时加热效率更高,由此可以更好地改善正极极片中的正极粘结剂的分布,从而可以提升正极极片的粘结力和内聚力,并还可以降低正极电阻;蓝光照射过程中还可以释放应力,从而有利于形成孔隙率较高的正极膜层,进而可以提升正极极片的电解液浸润性。
由对比例2-2的测试结果还可知,正极导电剂包括均聚聚噻吩时,由于缺少红移官能团,此时正极极片的最大吸收峰对应的波长不在蓝光波长区间内,由此导致蓝光照射吸收率不高,进而对正极极片和电池的改善效果不明显。
需要说明的是,本申请不限定于上述实施方式。上述实施方式仅为示例,在本申请的技术方案范围内具有与技术思想实质相同的构成、发挥相同作用效果的实施方式均包含在本申请的技术范围内。此外,在不脱离本申请主旨的范围内,对实施方式施加本领域技术人员能够想到的各种变形、将实施方式中的一部分构成要素加以组合而构筑的其它方式也包含在本申请的范围内。
