Thin lithium ion battery and preparation method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of is the thin lithium ion battery and the preparation method of housing with the metal forming.More specifically, prepared a kind of high-energy-density, long circulation life and the thickness thin lithium ion battery less than 0.5mm, this battery can be used as the built-in power of supper-intelligent card.The invention belongs to the lithium ion battery field.
Background technology
Since nineteen ninety Japan Sony company take the lead in succeeding in developing lithium ion battery and with its commercialization since, obtained fast development as the lithium ion battery of battery of new generation.Nowadays lithium ion battery has been widely used in various electronic equipments, many equipment manufacturers also with lithium ion battery as standard energy supply parts.Simultaneously, along with the continuous progress of science and technology, the more new development of electronic equipment and device has proposed more higher requirements to the performance of battery.Require battery microminiaturization, power lithium-ion battery to require the high power of battery as pure electric vehicle, the automobile-used lithium ion battery capacity required maximization of hybrid electrically, system-on-chip, supper-intelligent card built-in power then requires the battery slimming.
Smart card (Smart Card) refers generally to a plastic cards of giving sizing, has encapsulated integrated circuit (IC) chip above, adopts microelectric technique to carry out storage, the processing of information.Form structure according to it, smart card can be divided into non-encrypted storage card, encrypt storage card, central processing unit card and supper-intelligent card.The main application fields of smart card has financial circles, telecommunications industry, communications, medical institutions, pay TV, identification system etc. at present.
General smart card only carries out accessing operation or simple process to information, therefore need not expend a lot of electric power.Can provide required electric power with contact that card reader (as ATM) contacts as contact intelligent IC (Integrate Circuit) when being stuck in work, finish corresponding operation; The electric power that untouchable intellective IC card (as the public transport radio-frequency card) then can rely on induction coil to be produced when being subjected to responding to carries out work.And supper-intelligent card (Super Smart Card) generally has microprocessor and memory, and parts such as keyboard and LCD are housed, and also has identity recognition device etc. on the card that has, and therefore needs built-in power to satisfy its demand of sophisticated functions day by day.Built-in power has been arranged, and the supper-intelligent card of a new generation just can be supported many brand-new functions: (1) is supported random asccess memory and is kept the CPU running, can do proof of identity, the finance data transmission of encryption, more complicated cryptographic calculation etc.; (2) for the parts on the smart card provide energy, for example keyboard, LCD, sound equipment etc.; (3) strengthen the ability of smart card, farther distance of reaction etc. is provided.
(85.6mm * 54.0mm * 0.83mm) and the restriction of flexible performance, the flexible thin lithium battery becomes unique available built-in power because the physical size of smart card own.Integrated function element is not quite similar on the supper-intelligent card of different company at present, also do not form general international standard, therefore built-in thin battery does not have fixing dimensions yet, and cell area is no more than 1/4 of smart card area usually, and cell thickness should be less than 0.5mm.
Commercial now casing of lithium ion battery is generally metal-back (as stainless steel case, aluminum hull etc.) or plastic-aluminum encapsulating film.With the package parts of common metal shell as battery, its thickness is too thick, can not satisfy the requirement of supper-intelligent card.And the plastic-aluminum encapsulating film that generally uses in ALB (Aluminum Laminated batteries) has three laminations that are made of inboard thermoplastic resin, middle metal foil layer and outside insulator layer at least, add the adhesive layer between superimposed layer, thickness has 80 μ m~120 μ m at least.Like this concerning integral battery door, the thickness of encapsulated layer just accounts for 160 μ m~240 μ m at least, add parts such as both positive and negative polarity collector that inside battery is essential and barrier film, therefore the active matter mass-energy occupation space of battery is just smaller, cause the capacity of battery to be restricted, can't bring into play the high characteristics of lithium ion battery energy density.
Many in recent years companies such as Cymbet Corporation, Infinite Power Solutions, Solicore Inc. and Varta Battery have announced commercialization one after another and have been applicable to the slim lithium battery of smart card.
Wherein, Cymbet Corporation and Infinite Power Solutions adopt technologies such as radio frequency (direct current) magnetron sputtering and vacuum thermal evaporation to assemble flat, flexible all solid-state thin-film lithium battery, and area is from 0.1 μ m
2To 10m
2, thickness from 5 to 25 μ m do not wait.It can be in a lot of substrates deposition of wire (lug), positive pole, solid electrolyte, negative pole in order, deposit special packaging film at last and finish entire cell.The negative pole of entire cell adopts metal Li, the anodal LiCoO that adopts
2, solid electrolyte adopts the LiPON of U.S.'s Oak Ridge National Laboratory exploitation.Because the various piece of deposition is fine and close evenly, and the shared ratio of special packaging film is little, and entire cell demonstrates the energy density 200Wh/kg of superelevation, volume and capacity ratio 500Wh/L, and cycle life surpasses 70000 times, self-discharge rate<1% every year.
Adopt the film lithium cell of all solid state technology preparation to have ultra-thin characteristic, thickness can have superpower cycle performance below 0.1mm, and high rate charge-discharge is functional.But just because of the ultra-thin characteristic of its electrode, also brought simultaneously the battery capacity problem of smaller on the unit are, and adopt the speed of process deposits films such as magnetron sputtering quick inadequately, more complicated on the technology, be difficult to extensive industrialization, preparation cost that it is higher and technology barriers make large-scale application be subjected to certain restriction.
The product of German in addition Varta Battery is Li/MnO
2Disposable lithium-battery (patent No. US 20030118894 and US 20030232241).Concrete preparation process is as follows: at first with MnO
2360 ℃ of following thermal activations, press mass ratio 77%MnO
2, 6% graphite, 2% conductive carbon black Super P, 7% Kynoar (PVDF-HFP), 8% propene carbonate (PC), in acetone soln, mix, slurry is coated on the polypropylene diaphragm oven dry in 48 hours of 110 ℃ of vacuum.Subsequently product is immersed in 0.96M LiClO
4In/PC+EMC (volume ratio 87: the 13) solution, obtain the polymer positive pole.Then that negative pole (the Li thermal evaporation is on the Cu paper tinsel), polymer is anodal and to scribble the conduction Cu paper tinsel of graphite stacked together, prevent Cu paper tinsel contact short circuit with insulating material, the ultrasonic bonding encapsulation obtains the lithium battery of thickness 0.4mm at last.The battery of Varta adopts Copper Foil as encapsulating material, and thickness is compared the plastic-aluminum encapsulating film and significantly reduced, and the active material occupation space increases relatively, helps improving battery capacity.Because both positive and negative polarity has adopted MnO respectively
2And Li, so the lithium battery of Varta preparation is disposable, can not continue charging behind the discharge off again, the energy that can provide can not satisfy the needs of supper-intelligent card fully, and the process route slightly complicated of taking.
