Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to an electrochemical device and an electronic device comprising the electrochemical device, and more specifically, the present application relates to a lithium ion battery and an electronic device comprising the lithium ion battery. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have many advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, high nominal voltage (>3.7V), and low self-discharge rate, and are widely used in the field of consumer electronics. With the rapid development of electric vehicles and mobile electronic devices in recent years, people have higher and higher requirements for the energy density, safety, and cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries, and are looking forward to the emergence of new lithium-ion batteries with comprehensive performance improvements. Among them, setting a fiber porous layer between the positive and negative electrodes of lithium-ion batteries instead of the traditional ordinary isolation membrane is a new technology that has attracted much attention.
[0003] The fibrous porous layer prepared on the surface of the electrode plate by the spinning method can be directly integrated into the surface of the electrode plate, without the step of separately making an isolation membrane in the traditional process, which can simplify the production process of lithium-ion batteries. At the same time, since the thickness of the fibrous porous layer prepared by spinning can be made thinner, the energy density of the lithium-ion battery can be improved. At the same time, the fibrous porous layer prepared by spinning also has a higher porosity than the traditional isolation membrane, which can improve the liquid retention capacity of the lithium-ion battery, and has therefore received widespread attention.
[0004] At present, the fiber porous layer prepared by spinning is combined with nanometer or micrometer fibers in a directional or random manner, and the random overlap between each fiber forms a large number of holes for the transmission of ions, and the fiber itself serves as the skeleton of the fiber porous layer. However, the mechanical strength of the fiber itself and the bonding force between the fibers are weak, resulting in insufficient mechanical strength of the fiber porous layer as a whole, which easily leads to local internal short circuit under the piercing of particles in the positive and negative electrodes, causing the self-discharge degree of lithium ion batteries (such as poor K value) to increase, or even the exothermic explosion of lithium ion batteries, resulting in potential safety hazards. For this reason, it is urgent to develop a technology that can improve the mechanical strength of the fiber porous layer and the bonding force between the fibers in the fiber porous layer to improve the performance of lithium ion batteries.

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0039] The electrochemical device of the present application may be any electrochemical device using an electrode plate and a porous layer, such as a lithium-ion battery, a capacitor, etc., and the following description is made by taking a lithium-ion battery as an example. Those skilled in the art should understand that the following description is only for illustrative purposes and does not limit the scope of protection of the present application.
[0040] One aspect of the present application provides an electrochemical device, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an electrode plate 1 and a porous layer 2 formed on the surface of the electrode plate 1, wherein the porous layer 2 contains nanofibers and inorganic particles, and the nanofibers and the inorganic particles are combined by a cross-linking agent.
[0041] The electrode sheet 1 may be a positive electrode sheet 101 and / or a negative electrode sheet 102, and the porous layer 2 may be disposed on the positive electrode sheet 101 and / or the negative electrode sheet 102 to separate the positive electrode sheet 101 from the negative electrode sheet 102. The porous layer 2 may be disposed on one surface or both surfaces of the positive electrode sheet and / or the negative electrode sheet.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the porous layer also includes an initiator. Calculated by the mass percentage of the porous layer, the content of the nanofibers is 4.9% to 95%, the content of the inorganic particles is 4.9% to 95%, the content of the cross-linking agent and the initiator is 0.1% to 40%, and the initiator accounts for 5% to 20% of the total mass of the cross-linking agent and the initiator.
[0043] Since the nanofibers and inorganic particles are bonded by the cross-linking agent, the nanofibers and inorganic particles are combined into a whole, preventing the inorganic particles from sliding between the nanofibers, thereby improving the overall strength of the porous layer and preventing the positive and negative active material particles from piercing the porous layer.
[0044] The inventors of the present application have found through in-depth research that the puncture strength P of the porous layer and the ratio M of the mass of the inorganic particles to the total mass of the porous layer satisfy the following relationship (1):
[0045] 9≤P / (M+1)≤150 Formula (1)
[0046] The unit of the puncture strength P is N / 20 μm.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the nanofibers are oriented or randomly combined to form a porous matrix, and the random overlap between the nanofibers forms a large number of holes for ion transport, while the nanofibers themselves serve as a skeleton supporting the porous layer, and the inorganic particles are distributed in the porous matrix. By introducing a crosslinking agent and an initiator on the surface of the nanofibers and / or the surface of the inorganic particles, the nanofibers are combined together at the intersection by crosslinking to prevent the nanofibers from sliding each other. In addition, the nanofibers and the inorganic particles are combined together at the contact part by crosslinking to prevent the sliding between the inorganic particles and the nanofibers, thereby improving the strength of the porous layer. In the present application, the nanofibers are usually combined at the intersection, and there may also be a larger area of combination between some fibers (for example, two nanofibers are partially combined in parallel); the combination between the inorganic particles and the nanofibers can be a point combination or a larger area combination. For example, when the nanofibers are overlapped on the inorganic particles, a line combination may be formed to further improve the strength of the porous layer and prevent the porous layer from being pierced by the positive and negative active material particles.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the puncture strength P of the porous layer is ≥16, preferably ≥20
[0049] The introduction method of the crosslinking agent and the initiator of the present application is not particularly limited, as long as the present application can be achieved. For example, the crosslinking agent and the initiator can be introduced into the polymer solution for forming the nanofibers, or into the inorganic particle suspension, or into both the polymer solution for forming the nanofibers and the inorganic particle suspension.
[0050] The type of the cross-linking agent is not particularly limited, and can be any cross-linking agent known in the art. For example, the cross-linking agent can be selected from at least one of isocyanate, hexamethoxymethyl melamine, N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide, carbodiimide, trimethylolpropane, aziridine, diisopropylbenzene peroxide, butyl acrylate, N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butyl peroxide)hexane, bisphenol A epoxy resin, acrylate derivatives, nitrile-containing polymers, styrene, vinyl fluoride, acrylonitrile, acrylic amine, vinyl acetate, alkyl vinyl ether, oxirane or oxetane derivatives. These cross-linking agents can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0051] The type of the initiator is not particularly limited, and can be any initiator known in the art. For example, the initiator can be selected from free radical polymerization initiators such as peroxides, azos, and redox types, and can specifically be benzoyl peroxide, tert-butyl benzoyl peroxide, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisoheptanenitrile, dimethyl azobisisobutyrate, and azobisisobutylamidine hydrochloride; it can also be selected from at least one of cationic polymerization initiators such as boron trifluoride, phosphorus pentafluoride, titanium tetrachloride, tin tetrachloride, and zinc dichloride. These initiators can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0052] The nanofiber is not particularly limited and can be any nanofiber known in the art. In one embodiment of the present application, the nanofiber is a polymer nanofiber.

These polymers can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0053] The diameter of the nanofiber is not particularly limited as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the diameter of the nanofiber is 20 nm to 2 μm, preferably 50 nm to 1 μm, and more preferably 100 nm to 500 nm.
[0054] The cross-sectional shape of the nanofiber is not particularly limited and can be any shape. It is preferably in the shape of a flat ribbon, for example, the aspect ratio of the cross section of the nanofiber is 2 to 100, preferably 5 to 20; the aspect ratio is the ratio of the length values of the widest part and the narrowest part of the cross section of the flat ribbon-shaped fiber. By making the cross section of the nanofiber into a flat ribbon, the contact area between the nanofibers and between the nanofibers and the inorganic particles can be further increased, thereby further increasing the bonding strength between the nanofibers and between the nanofibers and the inorganic particles, thereby further increasing the puncture strength of the porous layer, thereby increasing the ability of the porous layer to resist puncture by the positive and negative active material particles.
[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the nanofiber is a coaxial structure, which includes a first fiber as a core layer and a second fiber as a shell layer. The first fiber as the core layer mainly contains a polymer, and the second fiber as the shell layer on the surface of the core layer contains a crosslinking agent and an initiator. The diameter of the coaxial structure nanofiber is not particularly limited, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, it can be 20nm to 2μm, preferably 50nm to 1μm, and more preferably 100nm to 500nm. There is no special limitation on the ratio of the first fiber diameter to the second fiber outer diameter, for example, it can be 0.98 to 0.6, preferably 0.9 to 0.7. This ratio is within the above range, which can better achieve good bonding between nanofibers and good bonding between nanofibers and inorganic particles, and further improve the puncture resistance of the porous layer.
[0056] The present application does not limit the preparation method of the coaxial nanofibers, and the nanofibers may be prepared, for example, by the following method:
[0057] 1) dissolving a polymer in an organic solvent to obtain a polymer solution A;
[0058] 2) dispersing a crosslinking agent and an initiator in an organic solvent to obtain a solution B;
[0059] 3) using a coaxial spinning device, simultaneously injecting the above two solutions, wherein solution A is located in the core layer and solution B is located in the shell layer;
[0060] 4) The ejected coaxial fibers are nanofibers with a coaxial structure, and the nanofibers with a coaxial structure can be directly collected on the surface of the positive electrode sheet and / or the negative electrode sheet.
[0061] The inorganic particles are not particularly limited, and can be selected from, for example, HfO2, SrTiO3, SnO2, CeO2, MgO, NiO, CaO, BaO, ZnO, ZrO2, Y2O3, Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, boehmite, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, lithium phosphate, lithium titanium phosphate, lithium aluminum titanium phosphate, lithium lanthanum titanate, lithium germanium thiophosphate, lithium nitride, SiS2 glass, P2S5 glass, Li2O, LiF, LiOH, Li2CO3, LiAlO2, Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2-P2O5-TiO2-GeO2 ceramics or at least one of garnet ceramics. These inorganic particles can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0062] The average particle size of the inorganic particles is not particularly limited, for example, it can be 0.01 μm to 10 μm, preferably 20 nm to 5 μm. The ratio between the diameter of the nanofiber and the average particle size of the inorganic particles is not particularly limited, for example, it can be 1:2 to 1:200, preferably 1:3 to 1:20.
[0063] The number of inorganic particles in the porous layer can be 5×10 7 pcs / m 2 ~3×10 19 pcs / m 2 .
[0064] The mass of the inorganic particles in the porous layer can be 0.004 g / m 2 ~60g / m 2 .
[0065] The thickness of the porous layer is not particularly limited, and is preferably less than the thickness of the prior art separator. For example, the thickness of the porous layer of the present application may be 1 μm to 20 μm, preferably 5 μm to 10 μm. By making the thickness of the porous layer of the present application less than the thickness of the prior art separator, the energy density of the battery can be increased.
[0066] The porosity of the porous layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 30% to 95% from the perspective of improving liquid retention. The air permeability of the porous layer according to the present application is not particularly limited, as long as it can achieve the purpose of the present application, for example, it can be 5s / 100cm 3 ~400s / 100cm 3 Without being limited to any theory, the inventors believe that controlling the air permeability within the above range can further improve the ion conductivity.
[0067] According to the present application, the average pore size of the porous layer is not particularly limited, and can be 20nm to 10μm. According to the present application, the pore size of the porous layer can be evenly distributed in the entire porous layer, or it can be distributed in the porous layer according to a certain rule. There is no special restriction in this regard, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, the pore size of the porous layer decreases linearly in the thickness direction from away from the electrode pole piece to close to the electrode pole piece. In another preferred embodiment of the present application, the pore size of the porous layer decreases nonlinearly in the thickness direction from away from the electrode pole piece to close to the electrode pole piece. In another embodiment of the present application, the pore size of the porous layer decreases discontinuously in the thickness direction from away from the electrode pole piece to close to the electrode pole piece, that is, it changes in layers. The number of layers is not particularly limited. From the perspective of the preparation process, it can be 2 to 10 layers, preferably 2 to 5 layers.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3As shown, one or more inorganic material layers 3 may be covered between fiber layers of different pore sizes within the porous layer 2 and above the outer surface to further improve the mechanical strength and ensure insulation performance. The inorganic material layer has a certain mechanical strength and the ability to conduct electrons. Preferably, the inorganic material has the ability to conduct lithium ions. The thickness of the inorganic material layer 3 is 0.1μm to 20μm. If it is too thin, it will not improve the mechanical strength and inhibit particle penetration and lithium dendrite growth. If it is too thick, it will inhibit lithium ion conduction, increase battery polarization, and inhibit performance. The porosity of the inorganic material layer is 10% to 40%, and the average pore size is 0.1μm to 1μm. Generally, the electronic resistivity of the inorganic material layer is >10 7 Ωm, preferably, electronic resistivity>10 10 Ωm, the ionic conductivity range of the inorganic material layer is required to be 10 -2 S / cm~10 -8 S / cm.
[0069] There is no particular limitation on the bonding between the inorganic material layer 3 and the porous layer 2. For example, the bonding can be performed in the following manner:

In the hot pressing method, the hot pressing temperature should be the minimum value of the melting points of the inorganic material layer and the porous layer, and the pressure should be between 0.1MPa and 1MPa. In the bonding method, there is no special restriction on the adhesive, for example, one or more of polyamide, polyurethane, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), acrylate, and polyvinylidene fluoride can be selected.

[0177] As can be seen from Table 1, the introduction of inorganic particles into the nanofiber porous matrix significantly improves the puncture resistance of the porous layer; the self-discharge rate is significantly reduced, and the cycle characteristics of the lithium-ion battery are improved.

Due to the introduction of the cross-linking agent, the bonding strength between the nanofibers and between the nanofibers and the inorganic particles is further improved, the puncture resistance of the porous layer is further improved, the self-discharge rate is reduced, and the cycle characteristics of the lithium-ion battery are improved.
