Description

A modified conductive carbon material and its preparation method and application

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application number 202310734620.7 filed with the China Patent Office on June 20, 2023. The entire contents of the above application are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application belongs to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and specifically relates to a modified conductive carbon material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0003] During the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries, in order to improve the current collection intensity of the current collector for the active material and the adhesion performance of the active material to the electrode, a layer of conductive material is first coated on the surface of the current collector, and then the active material is directly coated on the surface of the current collector with conductive material when manufacturing the electrode.

[0004] CN111430723A provides a lithium-supplementing current collector and its preparation method, application, negative electrode plate and lithium-ion battery, wherein the lithium-supplementing current collector includes a current collector body and a lithium-supplementing material layer; the current collector body includes a first carbon coating layer, a base layer and a second carbon coating layer arranged in sequence, and the first carbon coating layer, the base layer and the second carbon coating layer are tightly attached and fixedly connected to each other; the first carbon coating layer is provided with a plurality of through holes at intervals, and the plurality of through holes penetrate the base layer and the second carbon coating layer; the lithium-supplementing material layer is filled in the plurality of through holes. The disclosed lithium-supplementing current collector contains a lithium-supplementing substance, which can achieve precise lithium replenishment of the silicon-carbon negative electrode while reducing the internal resistance of the electrode plate after lithium replenishment, thereby improving the rate performance and cycle performance of the battery, but its water resistance is poor and its application range is limited.

[0005] CN110034302A discloses an ultra-thin carbon-coated current collector and its preparation method, comprising the following steps: cleaning the current collector and then subjecting it to a positive charge treatment to obtain a current collector with a positive surface charge; dissolving a binder, sequentially adding an anionic surfactant and a conductive agent, and stirring to form a negatively charged aqueous conductive slurry; ultrasonically atomizing the negatively charged aqueous conductive slurry into an aerosol, electrostatically depositing it onto the positively charged current collector, and then drying to obtain an ultra-thin carbon-coated current collector. The current collector prepared by this method has a thin and uniform conductive coating, strong adhesion, and good electrical conductivity, but its water resistance is poor, limiting its scope of application.

[0006] In response to environmental concerns, lithium-ion secondary batteries are shifting from oil-based cathode active material coatings to aqueous systems. In the more recently developed aqueous secondary batteries, sodium-ion batteries, both the positive and negative electrode active material coatings are aqueous. This requires the current collector coating to possess strong water resistance.

[0007] CN113140706A relates to the technical field of battery production processes and provides a battery carbonization process and a method for preparing a lithium-ion battery. The battery carbonization process comprises the following steps: S1. Preparing a carbonization slurry comprising 10%-20% by mass of conductive carbon black, 70%-80% by mass of deionized water, 5%-10% by mass of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and 2%-4% by mass of a dispersant; S2. Spraying the carbonization slurry onto the inner surface of a small cylindrical steel or aluminum shell of a lithium-ion battery. The lithium-ion battery preparation method involves carbonizing the inner surface of the small cylindrical steel or aluminum shell to improve the electronic conductivity of the current collector and active material in the steel or aluminum shell, thereby reducing the internal resistance of the lithium-ion battery, increasing the capacity of the lithium-ion battery, and thereby increasing the internal space utilization of the lithium-ion battery. However, due to the poor compatibility of SBR with the conductive agent, blueing is easily observed, resulting in uneven coating of the coating roller.

[0008] SBR for lithium batteries is a styrene-butadiene rubber latex, a water-based binder. It is produced by emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butadiene monomers in water with the addition of emulsifiers and initiators. It forms an aqueous emulsion with a solids content of approximately 50% and exhibits strong water resistance. However, when using SBR as a binder to formulate the current collector carbon coating slurry, SBR has poor affinity with the conductive agent. This makes it unstable in the slurry, resulting in a bluing phenomenon. This can lead to uneven material distribution on the coating roller, resulting in varying shades of streaks on the carbon coating.

[0009] Because SBR in related art is unstable in slurry and exhibits blue tinting, and carbon-coated current collectors suffer from poor water resistance and prone to streaking, developing a conductive carbon material with high affinity for styrene-butadiene rubber latex to produce carbon-coated current collectors with good water resistance and low streaking properties is an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

It can be adsorbed on the plate roller but will not stick to the plate roller. The homogenizing rod floats on the surface of the slurry. When the plate roller rotates, it rotates in the opposite direction due to the adsorption effect. During rotation, the ripples drive the surface of the slurry, making the surface move, thereby evenly dispersing the SBR on the surface of the slurry and avoiding blue drift.

Due to space limitations and for the sake of simplicity, the embodiments of this application no longer exhaustively list the specific point values ​​included in the range.

[0076] A high oven temperature or a long oven time helps to increase the crosslinking degree of the styrene-butadiene rubber latex and improve the adhesion and water resistance of the carbon-coated current collector.

[0077] The coating of conductive carbon materials with silane coupling agent can interact with both the hydroxyl groups in inorganic substances and the long molecular chains in organic polymers, coupling the two materials with different properties. It can not only increase the cross-linking degree of styrene-butadiene rubber latex, enhance water resistance, strengthen the adhesion between metal foil and conductive materials, but also enhance the wettability of the slurry on the foil.

[0078] In one embodiment, the method for preparing the water-resistant carbon-coated current collector specifically includes:

[0079] (1) Prepare a dispersant aqueous solution, add the dispersant to the remaining solvent water until it is completely dissolved to form a transparent solution;

[0080] (2) adding the modified conductive carbon material to the dispersant aqueous solution in the previous step in equal portions to obtain a conductive carbon aqueous solution;

[0081] (3) slowly adding a wetting agent to the conductive carbon aqueous solution in the previous step to obtain a mixed solution;

[0082] (4) homogenizing or sand-milling the mixed solution in the previous step to obtain a dispersed mixed solution;

[0083] (5) adding a binder to the dispersed mixed solution in the previous step, stirring and dispersing at a low speed, and then adding a wetting agent to obtain a mixed slurry;

[0084] (6) vacuuming the mixed slurry in the previous step to obtain a modified conductive slurry;

[0085] (7) The modified conductive paste in the previous step is coated on the above-mentioned foil through a coating machine, and then rolled up after drying to obtain a water-resistant carbon-coated current collector.

[0086] There is no fixed requirement for the stirring and dispersing speed of the dispersant aqueous solution in the above step (1). The higher the stirring speed, the faster the dissolution time, while the lower the stirring speed, the slower the dissolution time.

[0087] The dispersed mixed solution in the above step (4) has a D50 of <1.2 μm and a D90 of <5 μm.

[0088] In the above step (7), the modified conductive slurry is placed in the coating machine trough, and the coating machine trough is equipped with a homogenizing rod, the length of which exceeds the length of the plate roller by 2-4 cm; after being broken up, the blueing problem caused by SBR in the modified conductive slurry is reduced, and the consistency of the slurry on the screen roller is ensured. The homogenizing rod is a hollow rod made of aluminum alloy, with spiral continuous protrusions on the surface, magnetic materials and rubber spacers at both ends, which can be adsorbed on the plate roller but will not stick to the plate roller. The modified conductive slurry is coated in the coating machine, and the foil is first subjected to corona and / or preheating oven to remove the oil on the foil surface and increase the dyne value of the foil, wherein the corona power is not less than 6KW.

[0089] This application has the following beneficial effects:

[0090] The modified conductive carbon material provided in the present application uses a macromolecular surface treatment agent methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate-polymerizable silane coupling agent terpolymer to modify the surface of the conductive carbon material. The polar bonds of the terpolymer act physically and chemically on the conductive carbon material to form hydrogen bonds, thereby reducing the surface free energy of the carbon material powder, alleviating agglomeration, greatly reducing the particle size, and significantly weakening the hydrophobicity. Through the cross-linking reaction of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups and double bonds in SBR, the affinity with SBR is increased, the cross-linking degree with SBR is improved, and the SBR tends to be stable in the slurry. The carbon-coated current collector prepared with the modified conductive carbon material improves the coating film surface stripe problem caused by the instability of styrene-butadiene rubber latex in the slurry, while enhancing water resistance and being resistant to water wiping 51-88 times.
