1.探讨保护层的有无和无机颗粒粒径对电化学装置的性能影响1. Explore the impact of the presence or absence of a protective layer and the particle size of inorganic particles on the performance of electrochemical devices
由前述表1和表2可知,具有保护层的实施例1至38以及具有保护层的对比例2的锂离子电池的侧边挤压通过率明显优于没有保护层的对比例1的锂离子电池。 由此可见,正极集流体与正极活性材料层之间加入的保护层可以显著提高锂离子电池的安全性能。It can be seen from the aforementioned Table 1 and Table 2 that the side extrusion pass rate of the lithium ion batteries of Examples 1 to 38 with a protective layer and Comparative Example 2 with a protective layer is significantly better than that of the lithium ion battery of Comparative Example 1 without a protective layer. Battery. It can be seen that the protective layer added between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode active material layer can significantly improve the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries.
由前述表1和表2中的实施例1至38与对比例2的比较可知,当所述保护层的无机颗粒满足Dv5≤0.5μm时(其中,Dv5表示所述无机颗粒的累积体积分布数达到5%时对应的粒径),锂离子电池能够具有较高的侧边挤压通过率(70%以上),这是由于,通过控制保护层中的无机颗粒满足Dv5≤0.5um,能够使无机颗粒更均匀、全面的覆盖正极集流体,特别是在卷绕结构的拐角处,能够具有充足的小粒径无机颗粒进行填充,从而更好地覆盖拐角处的正极集流体;且在锂离子电池受到侧边挤压时,保护层随着极片的弯曲而存在内应力,特别是在卷绕结构的拐角处,由于拐角处自身存在弯曲应力,在受到侧边挤压时,应力将更加集中,保护层中的小粒径无机颗粒可以促进无机颗粒之间的滑移,降低内应力,从而抑制保护层脱落,进而降低了正极集流体与负极活性材料层之间的短路风险,提高了锂离子电池的侧边挤压通过率。It can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1 to 38 and Comparative Example 2 in the aforementioned Table 1 and Table 2 that when the inorganic particles of the protective layer satisfy Dv5 ≤ 0.5 μm (where Dv5 represents the cumulative volume distribution number of the inorganic particles When reaching the corresponding particle size of 5%), lithium-ion batteries can have a high side extrusion pass rate (more than 70%). This is because by controlling the inorganic particles in the protective layer to satisfy Dv5≤0.5um, it can make The inorganic particles more uniformly and comprehensively cover the cathode current collector, especially at the corners of the rolled structure, which can be filled with sufficient small-sized inorganic particles to better cover the cathode current collector at the corners; and in lithium ion When the battery is squeezed from the side, the protective layer will have internal stress as the pole piece bends, especially at the corners of the winding structure. Due to the bending stress at the corner itself, the stress will be even greater when it is squeezed from the side. Concentrated, small-sized inorganic particles in the protective layer can promote slippage between inorganic particles, reduce internal stress, thereby inhibiting the shedding of the protective layer, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit between the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material layer, and improving Side crush pass rate of lithium-ion batteries.
进一步地,由前述表1和表2中的实施例1至36与实施例37的比较可知,当所述保护层的无机颗粒满足Dv50/H1≤0.4时,锂离子电池能够具有更加优异的侧边挤压通过率(90%以上)。这是由于,在锂离子电池受到侧边挤压时,能够具有充足的无机颗粒在保护层的厚度方向上相互滑移,从而进一步降低保护层内部的应力,抑制保护层的脱落,从而降低正极集流体和负极活性材料层之间短路的风险,进而进一步提高锂离子电池的侧边挤压通过率。Further, from the comparison of Examples 1 to 36 and Example 37 in Table 1 and Table 2, it can be seen that when the inorganic particles of the protective layer satisfy Dv50/H1≤0.4, the lithium ion battery can have more excellent side effects. Side extrusion pass rate (more than 90%). This is because when the lithium-ion battery is squeezed from the side, sufficient inorganic particles can slide with each other in the thickness direction of the protective layer, thereby further reducing the stress inside the protective layer, inhibiting the shedding of the protective layer, and thereby reducing the risk of cathode damage. The risk of short circuit between the current collector and the negative active material layer further increases the side extrusion pass rate of lithium-ion batteries.
