Description

Microcapsule, preparation method thereof and lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a microcapsule, a preparation method thereof and a lithium ion battery.
Background
In recent years, the fields of portable electronic products, electric automobiles, energy storage power stations and the like are rapidly developed, and lithium ion batteries become the preferred chemical power source due to the advantages of high energy density, high working voltage, small self-discharge, long cycle life and the like. Along with the upgrading of products, people have higher and higher requirements on the energy density of the lithium ion battery, but the safety performance is not synchronously upgraded, and safety accidents occur in the actual use process, mainly because the lithium ion battery is subjected to thermal runaway caused by contact short circuit of a cathode and an anode due to contraction and embrittlement of a diaphragm in the processes of high temperature, falling and the like, so that the battery is ignited and even explodes, and the life and property safety of users is seriously influenced. For a power battery with larger capacity, the safety performance is more important.
In order to improve the safety performance of the lithium ion battery, in the prior art, the safety performance is often improved by adjusting the electrolyte formula, for example, adding a flame retardant, an overcharge additive, and the like into the electrolyte. However, this method usually sacrifices the electrochemical performance of the battery and cannot solve the problem fundamentally.
In view of this, chinese patent publication No. CN 104466186a employs a microcapsule technology, in which a reducing substance and/or a flame retardant is encapsulated in a microcapsule and dispersed on the surface of a positive electrode material or in the positive electrode material. When the battery is in thermal runaway, the microcapsules can be melted and covered on the surface of the positive electrode material, and simultaneously, reducing substances and/or flame retardants are released to prevent the battery from burning or exploding. However, because the conductivity of the anode material is poor, the resistance of the anode plate is increased after the non-conductive microcapsule is added, so that the internal resistance of the battery is increased, which is extremely unfavorable for the power battery. And as shown in the Chinese patent with the publication number of CN 105742733A, the fire retardant is wrapped in the microcapsule by adopting a microcapsule technology, and then the fire retardant is mixed with a solution containing a protective agent of the isolating membrane and coated on the surface of the isolating membrane, and finally the microcapsule is fixed on the surface of the isolating membrane. When the battery is out of control by heat, the flame retardant can be released to protect the battery. However, this method increases the internal resistance of the separator, affects lithium ion transport, and adversely affects the rate capability and low temperature performance of the battery.
In view of the above, it is desirable to provide a method for improving the safety of lithium ion batteries without affecting the electrochemical performance of the batteries.

The application also provides a lithium ion battery, which comprises a positive pole piece, a diaphragm and a negative pole piece, wherein a safe coating is coated around the current collector active substance coating of the positive pole piece; the safe coating is prepared from the microcapsules, ceramic powder, acrylic emulsion, a binder, a surfactant and a solvent, and the flame retardant of the safe coating is an organic flame retardant and an inorganic flame retardant.
In the safety coating, both an inorganic flame retardant and an organic flame retardant need to be included, in which case, the safety coating includes inorganic flame retardant microcapsules and organic flame retardant microcapsules or the safety coating includes organic flame retardant microcapsules and inorganic flame retardant microcapsules to improve the flame retardant efficiency, because the organic flame retardant is easy to volatilize, loses the flame retardant effect after volatilization, and the inorganic flame retardant is not easy to volatilize, and can continue to exert the flame retardant effect after the organic flame retardant is volatilized.
In the lithium ion battery, the safe coating is used as a base, the content of the microcapsule is 30-80 wt%, the content of the ceramic powder is 20-60 wt%, the content of the acrylic emulsion is 0-5 wt%, the content of the binder is 0-5 wt%, and the content of the surfactant is 0.5-3 wt%. The acrylic emulsion, binder and surfactant are well known materials to those skilled in the art, and the present application is not particularly limited thereto; the ceramic powder is selected from the ceramic powders of the berm stone, the aluminum oxide, the magnesium hydroxide and the like, preferably the berm stone, and the berm stone has insulating effect and relatively low hardness, so that the service life of the coating roller can be prolonged, and the microcapsules can be prevented from being broken and damaged in the rolling process.
The safe coating is coated around the coating of the active substance of the positive current collector, and the negative plate is not coated with the safe coating; because assemble into naked electric core after, the negative plate can surpass positive plate, if coating safety coating on the negative plate, not only play the safety action, still can reduce the energy density of battery.
The height of the positive pole piece can be smaller than, equal to or larger than that of the negative pole piece; in order to ensure the energy density and safety performance of the battery core, preferably, the height of the positive pole piece is equal to that of the negative pole piece, and the width of the active material coating of the positive pole piece is smaller than that of the negative pole piece.
The width of the safe coating layer is 0.5-2 mm in the pole ear area, the width of the non-pole ear area is 2-10 mm, the thickness of the coating layer is less than or equal to the thickness of the pole piece, and the overlapping width of the safe coating layer and the active substance coating layer is less than 0.2 mm.
The preparation method of the lithium ion battery provided by the application can be carried out according to a scheme well known to a person skilled in the art, and specifically comprises the following steps:
stirring the microcapsule, ceramic powder, acrylic emulsion, a binder, a surfactant and a solvent according to a certain proportion, and uniformly mixing to obtain a safe coating;
uniformly coating the active material slurry on a current collector of the positive pole piece by transfer coating or extrusion coating; coating the safety coating for a circle along the periphery of the current collector active substance coating, and drying to obtain the pole piece with the safety coating;
and assembling the pole piece and the diaphragm in a winding or laminating manner, and performing conventional procedures such as packaging, liquid injection, infiltration, formation and the like to obtain the finished battery.
The invention takes inorganic and organic fire retardant as capsule core, high molecular material as capsule shell, adopts centrifugal spray drying method, and adjusts the rotating speed of the disc, so that the emulsion liquid drop thrown out by the disc at high speed passes through the porous fence with hair follicle shape, finally flies out of the fence, and is molded and solidified into the multinuclear through-hole microcapsule with villus structure. On one hand, when the internal temperature of the battery core reaches above 120 ℃, the capsule shell with low melting point is melted and releases the flame retardant, so that thermal runaway of the battery can be prevented, and the safety performance of the battery is improved; on the other hand, the multi-core structure of the microcapsule with the same volume and weight can contain more flame retardant than the single-core structure, so that the flame retardant efficiency can be improved; in addition, the surface of the capsule shell has a villus structure, so that the adhesive force between the microcapsule and a current collector, ceramic powder and the like can be improved, the specific gravity of the microcapsule in the safety coating can be improved, and the content of the flame retardant can be increased.
The safe coating simultaneously contains inorganic flame retardant microcapsules and organic flame retardant microcapsules, so that the flame retardant efficiency can be improved; because the organic flame retardant is easy to volatilize and loses the flame retardant effect after volatilization, the inorganic flame retardant is difficult to volatilize and can continuously exert the flame retardant effect after the organic flame retardant volatilizes.
The ceramic powder (preferably the berm stone) is added into the safety coating, so that the microcapsules can be effectively protected from being extruded and broken to cause the failure of the microcapsules.
The invention can utilize the space that the negative pole exceeds the positive pole in the length direction of the battery cell, and coat the safe coating around the active substance coating of the current collector on the positive pole piece, thereby not only improving the safety performance of the battery cell, but also not reducing the energy density of the battery cell.
Compared with the method that the microcapsule is mixed in the electrolyte, the active substance or fixed on the isolating membrane, the microcapsule is fixed around the active substance coating of the current collector of the positive plate, so that the short circuit caused by the contraction of the diaphragm and the contact of the positive electrode and the negative electrode can be prevented, the safety performance of the lithium ion battery is improved, and the electrochemical performance of the battery is not influenced.

The difference from the embodiment 1 is that: in the microcapsule preparation process, the solid content of the emulsion is 25-30%, the microcapsule is of a single-core structure, and the shell does not have a villus structure (as shown in a schematic diagram 7, 1 in fig. 7 is a shell part, and 2 is a core part).
Comparative example 1
The difference from the embodiment 1 is that: there is no safety coating coated around the active material coating of the current collector of the positive electrode sheet (as shown in schematic diagram 8, 01 in fig. 8 is an aluminum foil of the positive electrode current collector, 02 is a coating of the positive electrode active material), the prepared stack core is shown in schematic diagram 9, 01 in fig. 9 is an aluminum foil of the positive electrode current collector, 02 is a coating of the positive electrode active material, 04 is a copper foil of the negative electrode current collector, 05 is a coating of the negative electrode active material, and 06 is a diaphragm. It is to be noted that the widths of the cathode and anode active material coating were the same as in example 1, but the anode coating width was 6 to 10mm larger than the cathode coating width.
Comparative example 2
The difference from the embodiment 3 is that: the microcapsule containing the inorganic flame retardant and the microcapsule containing the organic flame retardant are added into the positive electrode slurry, and after coating and drying, the microcapsules are in the positive electrode active material coating. It is to be noted that the coating widths of the positive and negative electrode active materials were the same as in example 3, but the negative electrode coating width was 6 to 10mm larger than the positive electrode coating width, and the weight of the microcapsules of comparative example 2 was the same as that of example 3 per unit volume of the positive electrode sheet.
Comparative example 3
The difference from the embodiment 3 is that: the safe paint only contains organic flame retardant microcapsules, wherein the weight ratio of the organic flame retardant microcapsules to the berm stone to the acrylic emulsion to the binder to the surfactant is 55%, 42.1%, 1% and 0.9%.
Comparative example 4
The difference from the embodiment 3 is that: no burm stone was added to the security paint and the remaining materials were added in the same proportions and weights as in example 3.
The battery cells prepared by the methods of the above examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were fully charged with 0.7C at room temperature, and then left to stand for 3 hours, and then subjected to a 140 ℃ hot box test, and the test results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 resistance Properties data sheet of cells prepared in examples and comparative examples
Figure BDA0001858338640000111
Figure BDA0001858338640000121
Figure BDA0001858338640000131
From the examples 1 to 6, compared with the comparative example 1 (the battery cell prepared by the prior art), the method disclosed by the invention can greatly improve the safety performance of the battery cell, and can effectively prevent the battery cell from losing efficacy under the condition of thermal abuse when the proportion of the microcapsule in the safety coating reaches more than 55%.
It can be seen from examples 3 and 6 that the binuclear microcapsules have a better flame retardant effect than the mononuclear microcapsules due to the fact that the binuclear microcapsules contain more flame retardant under the same added weight.
It can be seen from example 3 and comparative example 3 that the inclusion of both inorganic flame retardant microcapsules and organic flame retardant microcapsules in the safety coating can improve the flame retardant efficiency. Because the organic flame retardant is easy to volatilize and loses the flame retardant effect after volatilization, the inorganic flame retardant is difficult to volatilize and can continuously exert the flame retardant effect after the organic flame retardant volatilizes.
It can be seen from examples 1 and 6 that the addition of berm to the safety coating effectively protects the microcapsules from the microcapsules failing due to crushing and breaking during the preparation process.
From the internal resistances of the embodiment 3 and the comparative example 2, and the embodiments 1 to 6 and the comparative example 1, the method of the invention can not obviously increase the internal resistance of the battery cell, thereby ensuring the rate capability and the cycle performance of the battery cell.
The cells prepared in examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were subjected to low-temperature, normal-temperature discharge rate performance and normal-temperature cycle performance tests, and the capacity retention rate was recorded, with the results shown in table 2.
TABLE 2 data table of cycle performance and capacity retention rate of cells prepared in examples and comparative examples
Figure BDA0001858338640000141
From the test results, the rate performance and the cycle performance of the examples 1 to 5 are equivalent to those of the comparative example 1 of the conventional battery, while the rate performance and the cycle performance of the comparative example 2 are deteriorated to different degrees.
In summary, as can be seen from the safety performance test results in table 1 and the electrochemical performance test results in table 2, the embodiment of the present invention can improve the safety performance of the battery without affecting the internal resistance and the electrochemical performance of the battery cell.
The pole pieces prepared in examples 1 to 5 were cut into the safety coating by an automatic slitting machine, and then the powder dropping condition of the cut edges was observed by a CCD, and the larger the exposed width of the substrate was, the more serious the powder dropping condition was, and the results are shown in table 3.
TABLE 3 dust falling condition table of pole pieces prepared in examples and comparative examples
Figure BDA0001858338640000151
From the experimental results, the content of the microcapsule (the outer surface of the capsule shell has no fluff) in example 1 is relatively low, the content of the binder is relatively high, and the powder falling condition is very slight; in example 2, when the content of the microcapsule (the outer surface of the capsule shell has no fluff) is increased and the content of the binder is reduced, obvious powder falling occurs; after the surface of the shell of the microcapsule of example 3 is added with fluff, the powder dropping condition is obviously improved, and after the content of the microcapsule of example 4 is increased and the structure of the microcapsule of example 5 is changed, no obvious powder dropping occurs. The results show that the fluff structure added on the surface of the microcapsule shell is beneficial to increasing the adhesive force between the microcapsule shell and the base material, the berm stone, the binder and the like, and the effect of avoiding powder falling, reducing and improving the safety performance is achieved.
