Whereas in examples 3 and comparative examples 3, only CMC and SBR were added to the negative electrode slurry during the preparation of the battery, in examples 4 and comparative examples 4, PAA was added to the negative electrode slurry in addition to CMC and SBR, and CMC: SBR: the content ratio of PAA is 1: 1.5: 0.5, this is because of SiOxThe material is added into the cathode slurry after reduction reaction, the binding force of the slurry and the copper foil is changed, and whether PAA is additionally added or not can be obtained by comparison, namely comparison between example 3 and example 4 (for using LiAlH4For the battery made of the treated silicon-based negative electrode material (high-performance sample 2): after adding PAA, the first charge capacity and discharge capacity of the battery are almost unchanged, the first coulombic efficiency is basically unchanged, and a comparison example 3 and a comparison example 4 (for using the non-LiAlH battery)4Battery made of treated silicon-based negative electrode material (conventional sample 2)): after the PAA is added, the first charge capacity and the discharge capacity of the battery are almost unchanged, and the first coulombic efficiency is basically unchanged.
Fig. 1 shows the results of the cycle performance tests of CR2032 type coin cells obtained in examples 1 and 2, under the following conditions: the charge and discharge multiplying power is 1C/0.5C, the voltage range is 2.8-4.2V, and the cycle is 175 times at 45 ℃.
The test result shows that: in example 1, only CMC and SBR were added to the negative electrode slurry, and in example 2, PAA was added to the negative electrode slurry in addition to CMC and SBR, and the ratio of CMC: SBR: the content ratio of PAA is 1: 1.5: 0.5, this is because of SiOxThe material is added into the cathode slurry after reduction reaction, the binding force of the slurry and the copper foil is changed, and can be obtained by comparing whether PAA is additionally added or not, and comparing example 1 with example 2 (for using LiAlH4For the battery made of the treated silicon-based negative electrode material (high-performance sample 1): after PAA was added, the capacity retention of the battery after 175 cycles at 45 ℃ was 93.7%, while the capacity retention of the battery of example 2 without PAA after 175 cycles at 45 ℃ was 90.3%, since PAA effectively adapted to the volume expansion of the silicon material after lithium intercalation, reduced stress due to volume change, reduced material dusting, and CMC and SBRThe mixture of (a) is soft in texture and cannot effectively suppress volume expansion during charging of the battery.
