Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of lithium ion batteries and relates to a negative electrode material, a preparation method thereof and use thereof, and more particularly to a negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface, a preparation method thereof and use thereof. [Background technology]
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have advantages such as high energy density, small volume, and environmental friendliness, and are therefore widely used in fields such as 3C (electronic digital), energy storage, and power. Within the industry, improving the overall performance of lithium-ion batteries, including energy density and cycle life, is of paramount importance. Currently, mature anode materials, including natural graphite, still have several inherent problems and deficiencies, such as poor adhesion between the active material and the current collector, irreversible material expansion due to cycle aging, side reactions with the electrolyte, aging of the SEI film, and the resulting collapse of the active material powder, all of which affect battery capacity and cycle stability and raise safety concerns.
[0003] CN113270586A discloses the preparation and use of a modified silicon-based anode material coated by in situ polymerization, in which a composite coating of inorganic and polymer is formed on the surface of a silicon-based anode material. The silicon-based anode material is polymerized in situ with a deep eutectic solvent to form a composite coating in which the inorganic material is uniformly distributed in the polymer, the inorganic material being a lithium salt, and the thickness of the composite coating is 5-15 nm. The composite coating is formed by in situ polymerization of inorganic-doped polymerizable monomers, resulting in an organic-inorganic composite coating on the surface of the material. While the modified silicon-based anode material improves the initial coulombic efficiency of the anode material, further improvement in the cycling stability of the resulting battery is also required.
[0004] CN110783559A discloses a modified negative electrode material, its preparation method and use, and the modified negative electrode material is Si / SiOx The battery includes a negative electrode material and a polymer coating layer coated on its surface, the polymer coating layer including polymer colloid particles and a network polymer. However, the initial coulomb efficiency of the battery can only reach 75-77%, and the cycle stability needs to be further improved.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need in this field to develop a material that can improve the problem of expansion and aging of negative electrode materials during cycling, as well as improve the adhesion between the active materials and between the active materials and the current collector, thereby improving overall performance.

[0036] In the present embodiment, an isocyanate-based monomer is polymerized with one of hydroxy-terminated nitrile rubber, hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer, polyol polymer, or hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer on the surface of the negative electrode material bonded with a first polymer through in situ polymerization to obtain a second polymer. The second polymer component is a polymer with good elasticity, enhancing adhesion and elasticity. The first polymer is an acrylate-based particle structure component that forms a dotted structure on the surface of the active material. The second polymer has a non-particle structure. The two polymers act synergistically to form a polymer coating structure on the surface of the active material, further mitigating the volume expansion problem of the negative electrode material during cycling and further enhancing adhesion between the negative electrode active material and between the negative electrode active material and the current collector, thereby improving the initial coulombic efficiency and cycling stability of lithium-ion batteries.
[0037] In aspect 2, the present embodiment comprises: (1) adding a first polymer and a negative electrode material to a solvent and wet-mixing them to obtain a mixed slurry, and then removing the solvent in the mixed slurry to obtain a solvent-free mixture; and step (2) of mixing any one of hydroxy-terminated nitrile rubber, hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer, polyol polymer, and hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer with an isocyanate-based monomer, a crosslinking agent, and a catalyst, and then mixing the resulting mixture with the solvent-free mixture obtained in step (1) to cause an in-situ polymerization reaction, thereby obtaining a negative electrode material having a binder bound to the surface thereof. A method for preparing the negative electrode material having a binder bonded to the surface thereof is also provided.
[0038] In the present embodiment, a first polymer is bonded to the surface of the anode material by wet mixing. The first polymer is an acrylate-based particle structure component that forms a dot-like structure on the surface of the active material. Then, a second polymer is bonded to the surface of the anode material by in situ polymerization. The second polymer is a non-particle structure and the second polymer component is a polymer with good elasticity, which enhances the binding properties and elasticity. The wet mixing process allows the polymer component and the anode active material component to be mixed uniformly, ensuring the uniformity of the mixture.
[0039] The nitrile rubber adhesive is synthesized in situ directly on the surface of the active material (silicon-carbon anode material), enhancing the adhesive effect between the binder and the active material through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces between the functional groups on the surface of the active material. The functional groups contained in the in situ polymerized ethylene oxide polymer interact with the active groups on the surface of the silicon-oxygen anode material, forming chemical bonds and enhancing the direct chemical interaction between the polymer structure and the silicon-oxygen anode structure. The in situ polymerized polyurethane binder reacts with the first polymer to form crosslinks, enhancing the adhesive effect between the binder and the artificial graphite anode active material through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces between the functional groups on the surface of the artificial graphite anode active material, enhancing the chemical interaction between the polymer structure and the artificial graphite anode structure. The in-situ polymerized acrylate polymer component has good compatibility with the particulate polyacrylate component of the first polymer, forming a good polymer network and achieving a network coating and bonding structure on the surface of the natural graphite, thereby solving the problem of numerous defects on the surface of natural graphite. The second polymer is directly synthesized in situ on the surface of the natural graphite active material, and increases the adhesive effect between the binder and the natural graphite active material through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces between the surface functional groups of the active material.
[0040] The first and second polymers act synergistically to jointly form a polymer coating structure on the surface of the active material, and after the binder is fully synthesized, it appears in a spherical or fibrous state on the surface of the active material, further contributing to improving the binding strength.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0088] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below through specific embodiments, which should be understood by those skilled in the art as being merely for the purpose of understanding the present application and should not be regarded as a specific limitation of the present application.

[0090] [Example 1] In this embodiment, a silicon-carbon negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface is provided, and the preparation method thereof includes the following steps:
[0091] Step (1) 800 g of an aqueous solution containing 5 g of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) dispersed therein was placed in a 2000 L reactor, and under stirring at a rotation speed of 250 rpm, nitrogen gas with a purity of 99.9% or more was introduced. A first polymerizable monomer containing 100 g of methyl acrylate, 10 g of acrylamide monomer, and 10 g of acrylonitrile was added, and 0.5 g of an initiator azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was added. Stirring was continued, and nitrogen gas was continuously introduced. The solution was heated to 75°C, and a first polymerization reaction was carried out for 5 hours to obtain a polymerization product. The polymerization product was then depressurized using a vacuum pump until the vacuum level was lower than 0.1 MPa, and any remaining unreacted monomer components were removed to obtain the first polymer.
[0092] Step (2): 98 parts by weight of silicon-carbon anode material (SiC, capacity 1350 mAh / g) and 2 parts by weight of the first polymer were taken and weighed deionized water was added to prepare a dispersion slurry with a solid content of 40%, which was then mixed and uniformly dispersed using a disperser at 800 rpm for 30 seconds and 2000 rpm for 10 minutes. The dispersed slurry was then vacuum dried at room temperature to remove the water content of the solvent, obtaining a solvent-free mixture.

The mixture was then left at 40°C for 30 hours to allow the binder to cure. The resulting product was then ground into a fine powder in a mortar to obtain a silicon-carbon anode material with the binder bonded to its surface.
[0110] [Example 6] In this embodiment, a silicon-carbon negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface is provided, and the preparation method thereof includes the following steps:
[0111] Step (1) 800 g of an aqueous solution in which 5 g of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was dispersed was placed in a 2000 L reactor, and nitrogen gas with a purity of 99.9% or more was introduced into the reactor while stirring at a rotation speed of 250 rpm.

[0114] [Example 7] The only difference from Example 1 is that the first polymerization reaction monomer in step (1) contained only 109 g of methyl acrylate and 11 g of acrylamide monomer.
[0115] [Example 8] The only difference from Example 1 is that the first polymerization reaction monomer in step (1) contained only 109 g of methyl acrylate and 11 g of acrylonitrile.
[0116] [Example 9] The only difference from Example 1 is that the first polymerization reaction monomer in step (1) contained only 120 g of methyl acrylate.
[0117] [Example 10] The only difference from Example 1 is that the first polymerization reaction monomer in step (1) contained only 120 g of acrylamide monomer.
[0118] [Example 11] The only difference from Example 1 is that the first polymerization reaction monomer in step (1) contained only 120 g of acrylonitrile.
[0119] [Comparative Example 1] The only difference from Example 1 is that the first polymerization reaction monomer in step (1) was replaced with 100 g of styrene, 10 g of acrylamide monomer, and 10 g of acrylonitrile.
[0120] Comparative Example 2 The only difference from Example 1 is that the hydroxy-terminated nitrile rubber in step (3) was replaced with a hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer (Tentai Chemical, TT300).
[0121] Comparative Example 3 The only difference from Example 1 is that the in-situ polymerization in step (3) was not performed, and the solvent-free mixture obtained in step (2) was directly used to form a silicon-carbon anode material with a binder bonded to the surface.
[0122] Comparative Example 4 This comparative example provides a modified silicon-carbon anode material, the preparation method of which is as follows:
[0123] After removing the water, 3g of hexamethylene diisocyanate and 4g of hydroxy-terminated nitrile rubber (Jingjiang Tonggao Chemical Co., Ltd., TL55) were placed in a mixing tank, and 0.5g of 1,4-propanediol (crosslinker) and 0.05g of N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine (catalyst) were added. The mixture was mixed for 10 minutes at 2000 rpm in a defoamer. 1 part by weight of the mixture and 99 parts by weight of silicon-carbon material were mixed for 10 minutes at 2000 rpm in a defoamer. The mixture was then left at room temperature for 12 hours to allow in-situ polymerization until the binder hardened. The resulting product was then ground into a fine powder in a mortar to obtain the modified silicon-carbon anode material.
[0124] [Application Examples 1 to 11 and Application Comparative Examples 1 to 4] The silicon-carbon negative electrode material prepared above was prepared into a negative electrode sheet. Specifically, the silicon-carbon negative electrode material obtained in Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, carbon black (Surper P) as a conductive agent, and a PAA binder were mixed in a mass ratio of 85:5:10 to obtain a slurry, which was then applied to a copper foil to form a negative electrode sheet.
[0125] The prepared negative electrode sheet and lithium metal electrode sheet were assembled into a lithium-ion button battery, and LiPF6 was dissolved in an electrolyte of EC / DEC / EMC = 2:3:1 at a concentration of 1 mol / L. After the button battery was assembled, it was left to stand for 2 hours, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.1C to 0.005V, 0.08C to 0.001V, 0.05C to 0.001V, and 0.02C to 0.001V. It was then left to stand for 10 minutes, and then charged at a constant current of 0.1C to 1.5V. Tests were then performed on the initial coulombic efficiency and cycle life, etc.
[0126] The initial coulombic efficiency and cycle test results are shown in Table 1.
[0127] [Table 1]
[0128] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the silicon-carbon anode material having a binder bonded to its surface according to the present invention can achieve an initial coulombic efficiency of 90% or more and a capacity retention rate at 1000 cycles of 80% or more, demonstrating good initial coulombic efficiency and cycle stability.
[0129] In Comparative Example 1, the first polymer was obtained by polymerizing styrene, an acrylamide monomer, and acrylonitrile. After being used to modify the silicon-carbon material, the styrene component had weaker binding properties and bonding strength with the surface of the active material than the acrylate monomer, resulting in a decrease in the initial coulombic efficiency of the battery and a significant decrease in cycle stability.
[0130] In Comparative Example 2, the hydroxy-terminated nitrile rubber in the second polymer was replaced with a hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer. Because the elasticity of the epoxy structure was inferior to that of the rubber structure, the volume expansion caused by cycling could not be effectively alleviated, resulting in a decrease in the initial coulombic efficiency of the battery and a significant decrease in cycling stability.
[0131] In Comparative Example 3, the in situ polymerization in step (3) was not performed, and therefore the binder in the silicon-carbon negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface obtained contained only the first polymer, while in Comparative Example 4 the binder in the silicon-carbon negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface obtained contained only the second polymer. As a result, neither of them was able to form a good polymer-coated network structure, and therefore the initial coulombic efficiency of the batteries of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 decreased and the cycle stability was significantly reduced.
[0132] Examples 12 to 26, Comparative Examples 5 to 7, Application Examples 12 to 26 and Application Comparative Examples 5 to 7 provide silicon-oxygen negative electrode materials having a binder bonded to the surface thereof and negative electrode sheets prepared therefrom.

The mixture was then left at room temperature for 12 hours to allow the binder to harden, allowing for in situ polymerization. The resulting product was then ground into a fine powder in a mortar to obtain a silicon-oxygen anode material with the binder bonded to its surface.

[0157] [Example 18] The only difference from Example 1 is that step (1) is as follows.
[0158] Step (1) 800 g of an aqueous solution containing 5 g of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) dispersed therein was placed in a 2000 L reactor, and nitrogen gas with a purity of 99.9% or higher was introduced into the reactor while stirring at a rotation speed of 250 rpm.

The polymerization product was then depressurized using a vacuum pump until the vacuum level was lower than 0.1 MPa, and any remaining unreacted monomer components were removed to obtain the first polymer.
[0159] [Example 19] The only difference from Example 18 was that cellulose acetate was replaced with 5 g of carboxymethylcellulose.
[0160] [Example 20] The only difference from Example 12 is that the first polymerizable monomer in step (1) contained only 110 g of methyl acrylate and 10 g of acrylamide monomer.
[0161] [Example 21] The only difference from Example 12 is that the first polymerizable monomer in step (1) contained only 110 g of methyl acrylate and 10 g of acrylonitrile.
[0162] [Example 22] The only difference from Example 12 is that the first polymerizable monomer in step (1) contained only 110 g of methyl acrylate and 10 g of styrene.

[0166] [Example 26] The only difference from Example 12 is that the first polymerizable monomer in step (1) contained only 120 g of acrylonitrile.
[0167] Comparative Example 5 The only difference from Example 12 was that the hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer in step (3) was replaced with a hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer (Soken Soken Chemical Co., Ltd., UT-1001).
[0168] Comparative Example 6 The only difference from Example 12 is that the in situ polymerization in step (3) was not performed, and the solvent-free mixture obtained in step (2) was directly used to form a silicon-oxygen negative electrode material having a binder bonded to the surface.
[0169] Comparative Example 7 This comparative example provides a modified silicon-oxygen anode material, the preparation method of which is as follows:
[0170] After removing the water, 5g of hexamethylene diisocyanate and 4g of hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer (Tenta Chemical, TT310) were placed in a mixing tank, and 0.3g of 1,4-propanediol (crosslinker) and 0.01g of dibutyltin dilaurate (catalyst) were added. The mixture was mixed at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes in a defoamer to obtain a mixture. 1 part by weight of the mixture and 99 parts by weight of silicon-oxygen anode material were mixed at 2000 rpm in a defoamer for 10 minutes. The mixture was then left at room temperature for 12 hours to allow in-situ polymerization until the binder hardened. The resulting product was then ground into a fine powder in a mortar to obtain the modified silicon-oxygen anode material.
[0171] [Application Examples 12 to 26 and Application Comparative Examples 5 to 7] The silicon-oxygen anode material prepared above was prepared into an anode sheet. Specifically, the silicon-oxygen anode material obtained in Examples 12 to 26 and Comparative Examples 5 to 7 was mixed with carbon black (Surper P) as a conductive agent and a PAA binder in a mass ratio of 85:5:10 to obtain a slurry, which was then applied to copper foil to form an anode sheet.
[0172] The prepared negative electrode sheet and lithium metal electrode sheet were assembled into a lithium-ion button battery, and LiPF6 was dissolved in an electrolyte of EC / DEC / EMC = 2:3:1 at a concentration of 1 mol / L. After the button battery was assembled, it was left to stand for 2 hours, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.1C to 0.005V, 0.08C to 0.001V, 0.05C to 0.001V, and 0.02C to 0.001V. It was then left to stand for 10 minutes, and then charged at a constant current of 0.1C to 1.5V. Tests were then performed on the initial coulombic efficiency and cycle life, etc.
[0173] The initial coulombic efficiency and cycle test results are shown in Table 2.
[0174] [Table 2]
[0175] As can be seen from the results in Table 2, the silicon-oxygen negative electrode material of the present invention, with a binder bonded to its surface, can achieve an initial coulombic efficiency of 87% or more and a capacity retention rate of 80% or more at 1000 cycles, demonstrating good initial coulombic efficiency and cycle stability of the battery.
[0176] In Comparative Example 5, the hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer in the second polymer was replaced with a hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer. The acrylate polymer has a weaker interaction with the functional groups on the surface of the silicon-oxygen material than the ethylene oxide polymer, resulting in a decrease in the initial coulombic efficiency and cycling stability of the battery.
[0177] In Comparative Example 6, the in situ polymerization of step (3) was not performed, and therefore the binder in the resulting silicon-oxygen negative electrode material with a binder bonded to its surface contained only the first polymer, and was unable to form a good polymer-coated network structure, resulting in a decrease in the initial coulombic efficiency of the battery and a decrease in cycle stability.
[0178] The binder in the silicon-oxygen negative electrode material with a binder bonded to the surface obtained in Comparative Example 7 contained only the second polymer, and was unable to form a good polymer-coated network structure, resulting in a decrease in the initial coulombic efficiency of the battery and a decrease in cycle stability.

The resulting product was then ground into a fine powder in a mortar to obtain the modified artificial graphite anode material.
[0219] [Application Examples 27 to 41 and Application Comparative Examples 8 to 11]
[0220] The artificial graphite negative electrode material prepared above was prepared into an electrode sheet. Specifically, the artificial graphite negative electrode material obtained in Examples 27 to 41 and Comparative Examples 8 to 11, carbon black (Surper P) as a conductive agent, and a PAA binder were mixed in a mass ratio of 96.5:1.5:2.0 to obtain a slurry, which was then applied to copper foil to form a negative electrode sheet. The prepared negative electrode sheet and lithium metal electrode sheet were assembled into a lithium-ion button battery, and LiPF6 was dissolved in an electrolyte solution of ethylene carbonate / diethyl carbonate / methyl ethyl carbonate = 2:3:1 at a concentration of 1 mol / L. After the button battery was assembled, it was left to stand for 2 hours, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.10C to 0.005V, 0.08C to 0.001V, 0.05C to 0.001V, and 0.02C to 0.001V. It was then left to stand for 10 minutes, and then charged at a constant current of 0.10C to 1.5000V. Tests were then performed on the initial coulombic efficiency of the capacity and the cycle performance, etc.
[0221] The initial coulombic efficiency of capacity and cycle test results are shown in Table 3.

[0224] In Comparative Example 8, the polyol polymer in the second binder was replaced with a hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer. Compared with the polyol polymer, the hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer has a weaker interaction with the surface of the artificial graphite, and therefore the initial coulombic efficiency of the battery was reduced, as was the cycle stability.
[0225] In Comparative Example 9, the polyol polymer in the second binder was replaced with a hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer. Compared with the polyol polymer, the hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer has a weaker interaction with the surface of the artificial graphite, and therefore the initial coulombic efficiency of the battery was reduced, as was the cycle stability.
[0226] In Comparative Example 10, the in situ polymerization of step (3) was not performed, and therefore the binder in the artificial graphite negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface obtained contained only the first binder, while the binder in the artificial graphite negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface obtained in Comparative Example 11 contained only the second binder. As a result, neither of them was able to form a good polymer-coated network structure, and the initial coulombic efficiency of the batteries of Comparative Examples 10 and 11 decreased, as did the cycle stability.

[0262] [Comparative Example 12] The only difference from Example 42 was that the hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer in step (3) was replaced with a polyester polyol (PERSTORP, a polyester polyol).
[0263] [Comparative Example 13] The only difference from Example 42 was that the hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer in step (3) was replaced with a hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer (Tentai Chemical, TT310).
[0264] [Comparative Example 14] The only difference from Example 42 is that the in situ polymerization in step (3) was not performed, and the solvent-free mixture obtained in step (2) was directly used to form a natural graphite negative electrode material having a binder bonded to the surface.
[0265] [Comparative Example 15] This comparative example provides a modified natural graphite negative electrode material, and its preparation method is as follows:
[0266] After removing the water, 5.00 g of hexamethylene diisocyanate and 4.00 g of hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer (Soken Soken Chemical Co., Ltd., UT-1001) were placed in a mixing tank, and 0.30 g of 1,4-propanediol (crosslinker) and 0.01 g of dibutyltin dilaurate (catalyst) were added. The mixture was then mixed at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes in a defoamer to obtain a mixture. One part by weight of the mixture and 99 parts by weight of natural graphite anode material were then mixed at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes in a defoamer. The mixture was then left at room temperature for 12 hours to allow in-situ polymerization until the binder hardened. The resulting product was then ground into a fine powder in a mortar to obtain the modified natural graphite anode material.
[0267] [Application Examples 42 to 56 and Application Comparative Examples 12 to 15]
[0268] The natural graphite negative electrode material prepared above was prepared into a negative electrode sheet. Specifically, the natural graphite negative electrode material obtained in Examples 42 to 56 and Comparative Examples 12 to 15, carbon black (Surper P) as a conductive agent, and a PAA binder were mixed in a mass ratio of 96.5:1.5:2.0 to obtain a slurry, which was then applied to copper foil to form a negative electrode sheet.
[0269] The prepared negative electrode sheet and lithium metal electrode sheet were assembled into a lithium-ion button battery, and LiPF6 was dissolved in an electrolyte solution of ethylene carbonate / diethyl carbonate / methyl ethyl carbonate = 2:3:1 at a concentration of 1 mol / L. After assembly of the button battery was completed, it was left to stand for 2 hours, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.10C to 0.005V, 0.08C to 0.001V, 0.05C to 0.001V, and 0.02C to 0.001V. It was then left to stand for 10 minutes, and then charged at a constant current of 0.10C to 1.500V. Tests were then performed on the initial coulombic efficiency of the capacity and the cycle capacity.
[0270] The initial coulombic efficiency of capacity and cycle test results are shown in Table 4.
[0271] [Table 4]
[0272] As can be seen from the results in Table 4, the natural graphite anode material of the present invention, with a binder bonded to its surface, can achieve an initial coulombic efficiency of 94% or more and a capacity retention rate of 86% or more at 1000 cycles, demonstrating good battery efficiency and cycle stability.
[0273] In Comparative Example 12, the hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer in the second binder was replaced with polyester polyol. Since polyester polyol has a weaker interaction with the surface of natural graphite than hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer, the initial coulombic efficiency of the battery decreased and the cycle stability also decreased.
[0274] In Comparative Example 13, the hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer in the second binder was replaced with a hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer. Compared with the hydroxy-terminated acrylate polymer, the hydroxy-terminated ethylene oxide polymer has a weaker interaction with the surface of natural graphite, and therefore the initial coulombic efficiency of the battery was reduced, as well as the cycle stability.
[0275] In Comparative Example 14, the in situ polymerization of step (3) was not performed, and therefore the binder in the natural graphite negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface obtained contained only the first binder, while the binder in the natural graphite negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface obtained in Comparative Example 15 contained only the second binder. As a result, neither of them was able to form a good polymer-coated network structure, and as a result, the initial coulombic efficiency of the batteries of Comparative Examples 14 and 15 decreased, as did the cycle stability.
[0276] The present application has described the natural graphite negative electrode material having a binder bonded to its surface, its preparation method, and its use through the above examples, but the applicant declares that the present application is not limited to the above examples, i.e., it does not mean that the present application must be carried out depending on the above examples. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to the present application, equivalent substitution of raw materials of the product of the present application, addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific forms, etc., are all within the scope of protection and disclosure of the present application.
