Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of lithium ion batteries, in particular, to a method for evaluating the uniformity of lithium ion battery slurry and a method for preparing lithium ion battery slurry. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, commercially available lithium ion batteries are usually composed of single cells into modules or packs to meet the voltage or capacity needs of the equipment, so the battery manufacturers need to produce high-quality and consistent batteries. If the battery consistency is poor, the battery is prone to thermal runaway during use, which can cause the battery to catch fire or explode, posing a great risk. Therefore, battery consistency is one of the important indicators of battery performance. Solving the problem of battery consistency starts from the source of battery production, i.e., the preparation of slurry.

[0003] Battery slurry is a slurry system composed of different materials. The mixed slurry is ready for the next process, and the mixed materials of the coated slurry must be uniformly dispersed. Lithium ion battery slurry needs to have good uniformity and stability, which is an important indicator to ensure the consistency of the battery in the battery production process. Therefore, it is very important to detect and control the uniformity of the battery slurry.

[0004] The binder is one of the important components of the battery slurry. The binder is added during the preparation of the battery slurry to bond the active material particles of the battery. More importantly, the binder can firmly bond the active material to the current collector. In order to increase the conductivity of the battery material, a conductive agent is added during the mixing and preparation of the battery. In the slurry process containing the conductive agent, the binder will be adsorbed and flocculated by the conductive agent in large quantities. In the slurry process without the conductive agent, the binder will be adsorbed and flocculated by the main material in large quantities. Therefore, it is easy to cause the overall uneven dispersion of the battery slurry.

[0005] The conventional monitoring methods include testing the flowability, viscosity, solid content, and particle size of the slurry. However, these testing methods are relatively rough and cannot accurately characterize the physical characteristics of the uniformity of the battery slurry. At the same time, the above methods take a long time to test, which takes several hours or even longer. Therefore, these methods do not have the significance of guiding quality control for the production process. SUMMARY

[0088] The features and performance of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the following examples:

[0089] Example 1

[0090] A method for preparing a lithium ion battery slurry is provided, which is carried out according to the following steps:

[0091] The raw materials of the negative electrode slurry are mixed, specifically including: mixing the negative electrode graphite active material: conductive agent (SP): binder SBR: CMC: ultrapure water according to the mass ratio: 93:2:2:3:10, stirring in a planetary mixer, and sampling at 0.5h, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, and 2.5h after starting stirring, respectively, to measure the surface tension of the slurry at each stirring time point. Specifically including: using a 1ml syringe to take out 1mL of slurry, a 1.0 outer diameter flat needle and calibration, titration volume 6ul, titration rate 2ml / min, gravity acceleration value: 9.78822, reading between 0.5-0.6 of the ideal value of liquid drop B factor, lens viewing angle 0°, then calculating the surface tension change rate of adjacent time intervals, the results are shown in Table 1. While measuring the surface tension, the viscosity of the slurry is measured by a viscosity tester using a rotational method, and 250mL of slurry is taken from each stage with a 4mm drill bit at a rotation speed of 20rmp. The viscosity results are shown in Table 1.

[0092] Table 1

[0093] stirring accumulation time length surface tension change rate x% viscosity value (cp) 0.5h 91.26 1598 1.0h 8.08 2894 1.5h 43.45 3072 2.0h -0.35 3102 2.5h 0.36 3089

[0094] From the test data in Table 1, it can be seen that when the stirring time is shorter, the mixed slurry is not completely mixed, and the change rate of the measured surface tension value and the viscosity value fluctuate more. After stirring for 1.5h, the slurry tends to be mixed but is not completely mixed, and the change rate of the measured surface tension value and the viscosity value are still in large fluctuation. After continuing to stir for 2.0-2.5h, the viscosity value tends to be stable, and the surface tension change rate is also the smallest, less than 0.5%. This indicates that the slurry is basically uniformly dispersed after stirring for 2h, and this result can directly guide the stirring process of the slurry. That is, when preparing the lithium ion battery negative electrode slurry subsequently, stirring for 2h, the slurry is uniformly dispersed.

[0095] Although the viscosity test results can reflect the uniformity of stirring dispersion to some extent, the viscosity test requires too much sample and causes waste of materials. Moreover, when the stirring process reaches a certain degree, the viscosity value range is wide and the accuracy is poor.

[0096] Example 2

[0097] A preparation method of lithium ion battery slurry is provided, which is carried out according to the following steps:

[0098] The raw materials of the positive electrode slurry are mixed, specifically including: mixing lithium nickel-manganese oxide positive electrode active material, conductive agent (SP), binder PVDF, CMC and ultrapure water according to the mass ratio of 92:5:1:2:20, stirring in a planetary mixer, and sampling at 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 3h and 4h after starting stirring respectively to measure the surface tension of the slurry at each stirring time point. Specifically including: taking out 1mL of the slurry with a 1ml syringe, calibrating a 1.0 outer diameter flat head needle, titrating a volume of 8ul, titrating at a rate of 3ml / min, taking the value of gravitational acceleration as 9.78822, reading the value between the ideal values of 0.4-0.5 of the liquid drop B factor, and the lens viewing angle is 0°, then calculating the surface tension change rate of adjacent time intervals, and the results are shown in Table 2. While measuring the surface tension, the viscosity of the slurry is measured by a viscosity tester by a rotation method, and 250mL of the slurry is taken at each stage to measure the viscosity at a rotation speed of 20rmp, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0099] Table 2

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] From the test data in Table 2, when the stirring time is 0.5h-1h, the mixed slurry is not completely stirred and mixed, and the greater the fluctuation of the measured surface tension value and the viscosity value, after stirring for 2h, the slurry tends to be mixed but not completely mixed, and the measured surface tension value and the viscosity value are still in large fluctuation, and after continuous stirring for 3h-4h, the viscosity value tends to be stable, and the surface tension change rate is also the smallest, less than 0.5%, which shows that the slurry can be basically uniformly dispersed after stirring for 3h, which can directly guide the stirring process of the slurry. That is, when preparing the positive electrode slurry of the lithium ion battery, stirring for 3h, the slurry is uniformly dispersed.

[0103] Although the viscosity test results can reflect the uniformity of stirring dispersion to some extent, the viscosity test requires too much sample and causes waste of materials. Moreover, when the stirring process reaches a certain degree, the viscosity value range is wide and the accuracy is poor.

[0104] Experimental Example 1

[0105] The slurry of the positive electrode prepared in Example 2 above was uniformly coated on the surface of an aluminum foil current collector in three stages of 1.0 h, 2.0 h, and 3.0 h of stirring, and then dried in a vacuum drying oven and rolled. The positive electrode sheet had a size of 60 x 70 x 0.17.

[0106] A lithium ion battery graphite negative electrode material, a conductive agent (SP), a binder SBR, CMC, and ultrapure water were mixed in a mass ratio of 93:2:2:3:10 and stirred for 4 hours to prepare a negative electrode slurry. The slurry was uniformly coated on the surface of a copper foil current collector, dried, rolled, and cut into a negative electrode sheet having a size of 62 x 73 x 0.13.

[0107] The above positive and negative electrode sheets were separated by a 16-μm ceramic separator, stacked into an electrode core, and packaged with an aluminum plastic film. Then, 10 g of electrolyte was injected, sealed, and 3 PCS of lithium ion batteries were prepared.

[0108] After 1C charge and discharge at room temperature for 500 cycles, the battery capacity was measured. Here, the specific capacity was calculated by the formula: specific capacity = 1C capacity of the battery / mass of the active material. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0109] Table 3

[0110]

[0111] From the comparison and analysis of the test results in Table 3, it can be seen that the battery prepared by stirring the positive electrode slurry for 3 h has the best performance, followed by the battery prepared by stirring for 2 h, and the battery prepared by stirring for 1 h has the worst performance. This is consistent with the results of Example 1 and Example 2. It is shown that the method of the present application can more accurately evaluate and guide the slurry stirring process.

[0112] In summary, the method of the present application can more accurately and quickly evaluate the dispersion degree of the battery slurry, thereby timely guiding the improvement of the production slurry preparation process and avoiding the great cost waste caused by problems in the production of the slurry.

[0113] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
