Detailed Description
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles and advantages of the disclosure, reference will now be made in detail to the following specific examples.
It should be noted that unless otherwise defined, technical terms used in the following examples have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The test reagents used in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional biochemical reagents; the experimental methods are conventional methods unless otherwise specified.
As described in the background art, with the rapid development of new energy automobiles and consumer electronics, in application fields such as power batteries and electric tools, which require rapid charging and heavy current discharging, high specific energy of batteries is pursued, and high rate performance is required to be considered. The positive electrode is a key factor for restricting specific energy, rate performance and the like of the battery, and the energy density of the battery can be improved by improving the coating amount of the positive electrode, so that the specific energy of the battery is improved, but the thickness of the electrode is increased, so that the wettability of electrolyte is poor, the charge transmission distance is prolonged, the ion concentration difference and polarization are increased, and the impedance of the battery is increased, so that the capacity, the rate performance and the cycle life of the battery are influenced.
In order to obtain the positive plate with both high specific energy and high multiplying power performance, the technical means adopted is to improve the electronic conductivity and the ionic conductivity of the pole piece while improving the coating quantity of the positive plate, so as to improve the multiplying power performance. In the related art, some are pole pieces with high porosity obtained by adding volatile components into the pole pieces and then performing heat treatment, so that the rate performance can be improved, but the distribution of pores in the pole pieces cannot be well controlled, and the coating amount and specific capacity of the pole pieces can be reduced. Still other are those in which lithium hexafluoroaluminate is sprayed on a positive electrode active material layer to provide sufficient lithium ions during high-rate charge and discharge, active materials, a conductive agent, a binder, and a dispersion solvent are prepared into slurries with gradually reduced active material content according to different proportions, and then coated on a current collector, and in the design of these multi-coated electrodes, the proportion of inactive materials is increased, and the proportion of positive electrode active materials is reduced, resulting in a reduction in the specific energy of the electrode sheet. Therefore, designing the composite electrode pole piece, adjusting the pore distribution inside the pole piece, thereby reducing the diffusion resistance of lithium ions, improving the multiplying power performance of the pole piece, and simultaneously, not reducing the specific capacity of the pole piece and the specific energy of the battery is a problem to be solved urgently.
Based on the problems, the application provides a composite electrode pole piece, a preparation method thereof and a battery, wherein active substances with different contents or different types are used in a first coating and a second coating of an electrode coating, so that the composite electrode pole piece and the battery have high specific energy and high rate performance.
The first aspect of the present application provides a composite electrode sheet, comprising: the electrode coating comprises a first coating and a second coating, wherein the first coating is arranged on one side far away from the current collector, the second coating is arranged on one side close to the current collector, active substances are contained in the first coating and the second coating, the active substances comprise at least one of polycrystalline high-nickel materials and hollow positive electrode materials, and the content of the hollow positive electrode materials in the first coating is larger than that of the hollow positive electrode materials in the second coating.
The first coating and the second coating both comprise active substances, and the active substances comprise at least one of polycrystalline high-nickel materials and hollow positive electrode materials. The active material may be a polycrystalline high nickel material, a hollow positive electrode material, or a mixture of a polycrystalline high nickel material and a hollow positive electrode material.
The polycrystalline high-nickel material is a ternary positive electrode material with higher nickel content, and can be composed of primary particles, wherein the particle size range of the primary particles can be selected to be 80-900nm. The specific capacity of the polycrystalline high-nickel material is high, the specific capacity of the pole piece can be obviously improved, and the specific energy of the battery can be further improved.
The hollow positive electrode material has a special hollow structure, has smaller particle size, has higher specific surface area and porosity than the polycrystalline high-nickel material, can obviously increase the internal porosity of the pole piece, reduce the ion transmission distance and improve the rate capability of the battery.
The active substance comprises at least one of a polycrystalline high-nickel material and a hollow positive electrode material, the content of the hollow positive electrode material in the first coating is larger than that of the hollow positive electrode material in the second coating, so that the porosity of the first coating is higher, the porosity of the second coating is lower, gradient distribution of porosities among different coatings inside the pole piece is facilitated, infiltration of electrolyte and diffusion of lithium ions are facilitated, capacity exertion and rate performance can be effectively improved, and meanwhile, the porosity of the first coating is higher, the electrochemical active area of the pole piece is larger, and electrochemical performances such as capacity, cycle life and the like of a battery are more facilitated to be improved.
In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material in the first coating layer is 20% to 100% of the total mass of the active material in the first coating layer.
Specifically, the first coating is a coating far away from one side of the current collector, and the distance between the first coating and the negative electrode plate is closer in the process of assembling and using the battery, and the first coating is a coating which participates in electrochemical reaction first. Therefore, compared with the second coating, the first coating needs to have higher porosity first, so that the first coating has larger electrochemical active area, and is beneficial to improving the electrochemical performances of the battery, such as rate capability, capacity, cycle life and the like.
When the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material is 20% -100%, the mass fraction of the polycrystalline high-nickel material in the first coating is 0-80%, so that the contents of the hollow positive electrode material and the polycrystalline high-nickel material of the first coating are moderate, the electrode pole piece has higher porosity while maintaining high surface density, and a battery prepared from the pole piece has better multiplying power performance. Preferably, the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material in the first coating layer accounts for 60% -90% of the total mass of the active substances in the first coating layer, and when the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material is within the mass fraction range, the electrode plate has high porosity, so that the prepared battery has good rate performance. When the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material is less than 20%, the content of the hollow positive electrode material in the first coating is too low, so that the porosity of the first coating is too low, the infiltration of electrolyte and the diffusion of lithium ions are not facilitated, and the capacity exertion and the rate capability of the pole piece cannot be effectively improved.
Illustratively, in the first coating layer, the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material may be 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, etc., and the mass fraction of the polycrystalline high nickel material may be 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 0%, etc.
In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material in the second coating layer is 0% to 50% of the total mass of active material in the second coating layer.
Specifically, the second coating layer is a coating layer near one side of the current collector, and compared with the first coating layer, the second coating layer is mainly used for improving the specific capacity of the electrode, so that the specific energy of the battery is improved.
When the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material is 0% -50%, the mass fraction of the polycrystalline high-nickel material in the second coating is 50% -100%, so that the contents of the hollow positive electrode material and the polycrystalline high-nickel material of the second coating are moderate, the electrode pole piece has higher specific capacity, and a battery prepared from the pole piece has higher specific energy. The porosity of the second coating layer can be improved by adding the hollow positive electrode material into the active material of the second coating layer while ensuring the battery to have higher specific energy, so that the rate capability of the battery is further improved. Preferably, the mass of the hollow positive electrode material in the second coating layer accounts for 10-30% of the total mass of the active substances in the second coating layer. When the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material in the second coating is 10% -30%, the mass fraction of the polycrystalline high-nickel material in the second coating is 70% -90%, and in the mass fraction range, the electrode plate has high specific capacity and high porosity, and the obtained battery can have high specific energy and good rate capability. When the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material in the second coating layer is more than 50%, the hollow positive electrode material content in the second coating layer is too high, so that the content of the polycrystalline high-nickel material is too low, and the specific energy of the battery is reduced.
Illustratively, in the second coating layer, the mass fraction of the hollow positive electrode material may be 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, etc., and the mass fraction of the polycrystalline high nickel material may be 100%, 90%, 70%, 60%, 50%, etc.
In some embodiments, the polycrystalline high nickel material has the chemical formula LiNi a Co b M 1-a-b O 2 Wherein a is more than or equal to 0.8 and less than or equal to 1, b is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.3, and M is at least one of Mn and Al.
Specifically, when 0.8.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.1 and 0.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.0.3, the nickel content in the polycrystalline high nickel material is high, so that the specific capacity of the material is high. When a is less than 0.8, the nickel content in the polycrystalline high nickel material is too small, so that the specific capacity of the material is too low to obviously improve the specific energy of the battery. When b is more than 0.3, 1-a-b is more than or equal to 0, namely a+b is less than or equal to 1, when b is more than 0.3, a is less than or equal to 0.7, so that the nickel content in the polycrystalline high nickel material is too little, and the specific capacity of the material is too low.
Illustratively, a may be 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, etc., and b may be 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, etc.
In some embodiments, the polycrystalline high nickel material has an average particle diameter D50 of 4-25 μm and a specific surface area (Brunauer Emmett Teller, BET for short) of 0.1-1.2m 2 Per gram, tap density is more than or equal to 2.1g/cm 3
Specifically, the average grain diameter D50 of the polycrystalline high nickel material is 4-25 mu m, so that the grain diameter of the polycrystalline high nickel material is moderate, preferably, the D50 of the polycrystalline high nickel material is 5-20 mu m, and in the grain diameter range, the compaction density and specific capacity of the polycrystalline high nickel material are high, so that the specific energy of the battery can be remarkably improved. When the D50 of the polycrystalline high nickel material is less than 4 μm, the particle size of the material is so small that a large number of small voids may exist in the material, affecting the compacted density of the material. When the D50 of the polycrystalline high nickel material is greater than 25 μm, the particle size of the material is too large, and voids between particles are so large that the compacted density of the material is reduced when the particles are piled up, which also results in a reduction in the specific capacity of the material. Illustratively, the polycrystalline high nickel material may have a D50 of 4 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, 23 μm, 25 μm, etc.
The specific surface area of the polycrystalline high nickel material is 0.1-1.2m 2 At the time of/g, the electrochemical active area of the polycrystalline high-nickel material is moderate, which is beneficial to improving the electrochemical performance of the whole battery. Preferably, the specific surface area of the polycrystalline high nickel material is 0.3-0.8m 2 When the specific surface area is within this range, the electrochemical performance of the battery can be significantly improved. When the specific surface area is less than 0.1m 2 At/g, the specific surface area is too small, so that the electrochemically active area of the positive electrode material is too small. When the specific surface area is more than 1.2m 2 When the specific surface area is too large, the processability in the homogenization process is poor, the electrochemical active area of the positive electrode material is too large, the reactivity of the positive electrode material is too high when the battery is charged and discharged, and the risk of side reaction between the positive electrode material and the electrolyte is also higher, so that the cycle performance of the battery is affected. Illustratively, the polycrystalline high nickel material may have a specific surface area of 0.1m 2 /g、0.5m 2 /g、1.0m 2 /g、1.2m 2 /g, etc.
When the tap density is more than or equal to 2.1g/cm 3 When the method is used, the granularity sphericity of the polycrystalline high-nickel material is ensuredAnd the gaps among the particles are smaller, so that the compaction density of the pole pieces is improved. Preferably, the tap density is 2.3-2.9g/cm 3 At the moment, gaps among particles are small, and the pole piece compaction density is high.
In some embodiments, the hollow positive electrode material has the chemical formula LiNi x Co y N 1-x-y O 2 Wherein x is more than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.96,0.02, y is more than or equal to 0.25, and N is one or two of Mn and Al.
Specifically, when x is more than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.96,0.02 and y is more than or equal to 0.25, the content of nickel and cobalt in the hollow positive electrode material is moderate, so that the specific capacity of the material is not too poor on the premise of higher porosity, the rate capability of the battery can be obviously improved, the specific energy of the battery is not greatly influenced, and meanwhile, the battery has better cycling stability. When x < 0.5, the nickel content of the hollow positive electrode material in the second coating layer is so small that the specific capacity of the second coating layer is so low that the specific energy of the whole battery is seriously affected. When x > 0.96, the structural stability of the hollow positive electrode material is poor, so that the cycle performance of the battery is affected. Illustratively, x may be 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.96, etc., and y may be 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, etc.
In some embodiments, the hollow positive electrode material has an average particle diameter D50 of 0.5-10 μm and a specific surface area of 0.1-1.5m 2 Per gram, tap density is more than or equal to 1.2g/cm 3
Specifically, the D50 of the hollow positive electrode material is 0.5-10 mu m, so that the specific surface area of the hollow positive electrode material is moderate, the electrochemical active area of the hollow positive electrode material is moderate, and the electrochemical performance of the battery is improved. Preferably, the D50 of the hollow positive electrode material is 1-5 μm, and the electrochemical performance of the battery can be remarkably improved. When the D50 of the hollow positive electrode material is smaller than 0.5 mu m, the particle size is too small, so that the specific surface area of the hollow positive electrode material is too large, the electrochemical active area of the hollow positive electrode material is too large, the reactivity of the positive electrode material is too high when the battery is charged and discharged, and the risk of side reaction between the positive electrode material and electrolyte is also higher, so that the cycle performance of the battery is affected. When the D50 of the hollow positive electrode material is larger than 10 mu m, the particle size is too large, so that the specific surface area of the hollow positive electrode material is too small, and the rate performance of the material is affected.
Illustratively, the D50 of the hollow positive electrode material may be 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, etc. The specific surface area of the hollow positive electrode material can be 0.1m 2 /g、0.5m 2 /g、1.0m 2 /g、1.2m 2 /g、1.3m 2 /g、1.4m 2 /g、1.5m 2 /g, etc.
In some embodiments, the first coating has a coating mass per unit area of the current collector of m 1 The coating mass of the second coating on the unit area current collector is m 2 ,0.05≤m 1 /m 2 ≤2。
Specifically, when 0.05.ltoreq.m 1 /m 2 When the specific energy is less than or equal to 2, the coating quality of the first coating and the second coating is moderate, so that the battery can have both high specific energy and high rate performance. When m is 1 /m 2 When the mass of the first coating is less than 0.05, the mass of the second coating is too small, so that the mass of the first coating with high porosity is too small to remarkably improve the rate performance of the battery in the electrode coating formed by combining the first coating and the second coating; when m is 1 /m 2 At > 2, the coating quality of the first coating layer is too much, and the coating quality of the second coating layer is too little, so that in the electrode coating layer formed by combining the first coating layer and the second coating layer, the second coating layer having a high specific capacity has too little quality to significantly raise the specific energy of the battery. Illustratively, the m 1 /m 2 May be 0.05, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, etc.

Examples and comparative examples
A composite electrode sheet comprising: the electrode coating comprises a first coating and a second coating, wherein the first coating is arranged on one side far away from the current collector, the second coating is arranged on one side close to the current collector, active substances are contained in the first coating and the second coating, the active substances comprise at least one of polycrystalline high-nickel materials and hollow positive electrode materials, and the content of the hollow positive electrode materials in the first coating is larger than that of the hollow positive electrode materials in the second coating.
The types, contents, particle diameters, specific surface areas, and the like of the positive electrode materials in the first coating layer and the second coating layer in each of the examples and the comparative examples are shown in table 1 below.
The composite electrode pole piece is prepared according to the following steps:
(1) Preparing second coating slurry, namely mixing an active substance of a second coating, conductive carbon black and a binder PVDF according to a weight ratio of 95%:2.5%:2.5% is mixed with an appropriate solvent NMP and stirred well to obtain a second coating slurry.

The positive electrode sheet, the electrolyte, the diaphragm and the negative electrode sheet prepared in the examples and the comparative example are assembled into a lithium battery, and the lithium battery is subjected to charge and discharge test, wherein the voltage range is 3-4.3V and 0.1C, and specific test results are shown in figures 1 to 5 and table 1.
Table 1 experimental and test data for examples and comparative examples
Figure BDA0004029113880000111

Figure BDA0004029113880000121
Referring to fig. 1 to 3 and table 1, in the examples, the specific energy of the battery is improved by adding the polycrystalline high nickel material with larger particle size and higher specific capacity, and the rate performance of the battery is improved by adding the hollow positive electrode material with smaller particle size and hollow structure, so that the active material in the positive electrode sheet prepared in each example has higher specific capacity and better rate performance than the active material in the comparative example.
Comparative example 1 is a conventional positive electrode sheet, and the active material includes a polycrystalline high nickel positive electrode material and a hollow positive electrode material. However, the positive electrode sheet of comparative example 1 had only one coating layer, so that the porosity inside the coating layer was not well controlled, and when the coating amount of the sheet was high, the specific capacity exerted by the active material was lowered, and the rate performance was lowered. Specifically, referring to the graph of the test results of the capacity percentages of the different rate discharge shown in fig. 4, the ratio of the capacity of comparative example 1 at the large rate discharge to the 0.1C discharge capacity is lower than that of example 1, indicating that the rate performance of the battery obtained in comparative example 1 is worse than that of example 1. Referring to the electrochemical impedance test result chart shown in fig. 5, comparative example 1 has a larger charge transfer impedance than example 1, so that the rate performance thereof is inferior.
In comparative example 2, the first coating layer was made of a single crystal high nickel material with a content of 100%, and the second coating layer was made of a polycrystalline high nickel material with a content of 100%. Although the particle diameter and specific surface area of the single-crystal high-nickel material in comparative example 2 are not much different from those of the hollow positive electrode material in example 1, compared with example 1, the rate performance of the battery in comparative example 2 is significantly inferior to that in example 1. This is because the hollow positive electrode material in example 1 has a special hollow structure, and can increase the internal porosity of the pole piece, shorten the ion transmission distance, and improve the rate performance of the battery, whereas the single crystal high nickel material in comparative example 2, although having a particle diameter and a specific surface area which are not much different from those of the hollow positive electrode material, has a reduced specific capacity and rate performance.
In comparative example 3, the first coating layer was made of a polycrystalline high nickel material having a content of 100%, and the second coating layer was made of a hollow positive electrode material having a content of 100%. Since the first coating layer in comparative example 3 contains 100% of the polycrystalline high nickel material, although the polycrystalline high nickel material has a high specific capacity, when the electrode is thick, the wettability of the electrolyte becomes poor, the charge transport distance becomes long, the ion concentration difference and polarization increase, and the battery resistance increases, so that the rate performance of the battery is affected. Although the second coating layer adopts the hollow positive electrode material with the content of 100% to improve the rate performance of the battery, as the second coating layer is a coating layer close to one side of the current collector, the distance between the second coating layer and the negative electrode plate is farther than that of the first coating layer, and electrochemical reaction is limited by the first coating layer, even though the porosity of the second coating layer is adjusted by using the hollow positive electrode material with the content of 100% as the second coating layer, the rate performance of the whole battery still cannot be obviously improved finally.
In comparative example 4, the polycrystalline high nickel material having a content of 100% was used for both the first coating layer and the second coating layer, but the particle size of the polycrystalline high nickel material was different in the two coating layers. Although the rate performance of the battery is adjusted by changing the particle size of the polycrystalline high nickel material, it is known from experimental data that the rate performance of the battery cannot be improved well by changing the particle size of the polycrystalline high nickel material.
In comparative example 5, the content of the hollow positive electrode material in the first coating layer was 10% as compared with example 3, which is smaller than the content of the hollow positive electrode material in example 3. Because the content of the hollow positive electrode material in the first coating is smaller, so that the porosity of the first coating is too small, the infiltration of electrolyte and the diffusion of lithium ions are not facilitated, and the capacity exertion and the rate performance of the pole piece cannot be effectively improved, the rate performance of the battery in comparative example 5 is obviously inferior to that of example 3.
In comparative example 6, the content of the polycrystalline high nickel material in the second coating layer was 30% which is smaller than that in comparative example 3, and the content of the hollow positive electrode material was 70% which is larger than that in example 3, compared to example 3. The second coating layer has low porosity due to the fact that the content of the polycrystalline high-nickel material in the second coating layer is small and the content of the hollow positive electrode material is large, and the second coating layer has high porosity, so that the capacity of active substances is not facilitated.
In comparative example 7, the hollow positive electrode material in the first coating layer had a larger particle diameter and a reduced specific surface area, compared with example 3, which was disadvantageous for rapid progress of electrochemical reaction and lithium ion transport, and reduced rate performance and specific capacity.
In comparative example 8, m 1 /m 2 Equal to 3, much greater than 3/7 of example 3, the specific energy of the battery is lower. This is because when m 1 /m 2 When the coating quality of the first coating is too high, and the coating quality of the second coating is too low, so that in the electrode coating formed by combining the first coating and the second coating, proper porosity distribution and a lithium ion rapid transmission channel cannot be formed, and specific capacity and rate performance cannot be remarkably improved.
In summary, compared with the prior art, the preparation method has the advantages that the slurry prepared from the polycrystalline high-nickel material and the hollow positive electrode material according to different mass ratios is sequentially coated on the surface of a current collector according to a design sequence, gradient distribution of the porosity inside the pole piece is realized, the pole piece with the double-electrode coating is prepared, and the composite electrode pole piece is finally obtained through drying and rolling. The hollow positive electrode material has smaller particle size, is in a hollow sphere structure, has higher specific surface area and porosity than the polycrystalline high-nickel material, and can obviously improve the rate capability of the battery. The mass percent of the hollow positive electrode material of the first coating is higher than that of the hollow positive electrode material of the second coating, the electrode pole piece with gradient porosity can be formed by adopting the coatings with different mass fractions, the porosity of the first coating is higher, the electrochemical active area of the whole pole piece is larger, the infiltration of electrolyte and the diffusion of lithium ions are facilitated, and the capacity exertion and the rate performance can be effectively improved.
