Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion batteries and relates to a lithium replenishing slurry and a positive electrode sheet, particularly to a method for preparing an anti-gelling lithium replenishing positive electrode slurry and a lithium replenishing positive electrode sheet. Background Technology

[0002] During the first charge and discharge cycle of a lithium-ion battery, a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film forms on the surface of the electrode material and at the solid-liquid interface of the electrolyte. The formation of the SEI film inevitably consumes some active lithium, leading to a decrease in initial charge and discharge efficiency and an increase in initial irreversible capacity. Lithium replenishment technology effectively solves the problem of decreased capacity during the first charge and discharge cycle by replenishing the active lithium consumed in the formation of the SEI film. Currently, cathode lithium replenishment additive technology has attracted much attention due to its advantages such as high safety, high compatibility with existing processes, and low investment cost. However, cathode lithium replenishment materials are sensitive to moisture and have high levels of residual alkali (lithium hydroxide LiOH, lithium carbonate LiCO3), posing significant challenges to the slurry preparation process. In particular, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) cathode binders are widely used in cathodes and are highly susceptible to attack by alkaline groups, undergoing dehydrofluorination reactions to form carbon-carbon double bonds. The unsaturated double bonds between polymer chains react to form crosslinks, leading to gelation of the slurry. Gelated slurries exhibit reduced fluidity, leading to uneven material distribution and problems such as pinholes and particles in the electrode coating, thus degrading the electrode quality. Based on this background, the present invention provides an anti-gelling positive electrode lithium-filling slurry and a method for preparing the electrode.

[0003] CN110137433A discloses a method for replenishing lithium on the positive electrode of a lithium-ion battery. First, a positive electrode slurry is coated on the surface of the positive electrode, and then a positive electrode lithium replenishing additive is immediately sprayed on the surface of the positive electrode. This avoids the negative impact of the lithium replenishing additive on the positive electrode active material, greatly improves the first efficiency of the battery, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery and significantly improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0004] CN111916752A provides a positive electrode sheet, its manufacturing method, and a secondary battery. The positive electrode sheet includes: a current collector and a first material layer coated on the current collector, and a second material layer coated on the first material layer. The first material layer includes a lithium-supplementing material, a first positive electrode active material, a first conductive agent, and a first binder. The second material layer includes a second positive electrode active material, a second conductive agent, and a second binder. By sequentially coating the first and second material layers onto the current collector, the second material layer can cover the first material layer, isolating air from the first positive electrode active material. This reduces the contact area between air and the lithium-supplementing material in the first material layer during manufacturing, reducing the corrosion of the lithium-supplementing material by air. Furthermore, the first material layer can supplement the second material layer with metal elements, improving the performance of the secondary battery prepared with this positive electrode sheet.

[0005] The aforementioned existing technologies all reduce the contact between the lithium replenishment material and the cathode slurry and shorten the exposure time of the lithium replenishment material to the environment through multiple coating processes, thereby reducing the impact of the lithium replenishment material on the stability of the slurry. However, multiple coatings increase the complexity of the coating process and raise production costs. In addition, multiple coatings cause uneven distribution of the lithium replenishment material in the electrode, leading to uneven lithiation of the active material in the subsequent formation stage.

[0006] CN113937254A discloses a lithium-ion additive for battery positive electrodes, a positive electrode sheet, its preparation method, and a method for preparing a lithium-ion battery. The method for preparing the lithium-ion additive for battery positive electrodes includes: mixing a lithium source and a nickel source and calcining them to obtain a lithium-rich material; mixing the lithium-rich material with water and washing it; and then drying it to obtain the lithium-ion additive for battery positive electrodes. By adding a water washing process, the residual alkali value of the positive electrode lithium-ion additive material is significantly reduced, and by adjusting the water washing process parameters, the residual alkali value of the positive electrode lithium-ion additive material can be further reduced. Simultaneously, the low-alkali positive electrode lithium-ion additive effectively alleviates the damage to the binder caused by residual alkali during the preparation of the positive electrode slurry, improves the fluidity of the positive electrode slurry, thereby achieving uniform coating and improving the manufacturing quality of the positive electrode sheet. Furthermore, under high-temperature conditions, the low-alkali positive electrode lithium-ion additive provided by this invention is not easily decomposed or reacts with the electrolyte solution, thereby effectively avoiding a decrease in battery performance.

[0007] The aforementioned technology adds additional washing and drying processes to reduce residual alkali and stabilize the slurry. However, the introduced water treatment process increases the complexity of the homogenization process and raises production costs. Furthermore, the exposure of the lithium-replenishing material to water leads to increased water content in subsequent slurries and electrodes, exacerbating side reactions in subsequent electrochemical reactions.

[0008] CN113745459A discloses a positive electrode slurry, its preparation method, and its application. The positive electrode slurry includes a positive electrode active material, a conductive agent, a binder, a solvent, additives, and a lithium-supplementing material, wherein the additives are weak acids and / or weak acid anhydrides. This invention, by co-incorporating the weak acid or weak acid anhydride during the preparation of the positive electrode slurry, can neutralize residual alkali in the lithium-supplementing material, reduce the viscosity of the prepared slurry, and make the surface density distribution of the coated layer more uniform, which is beneficial for rolling and subsequent battery processing and use.

[0009] The aforementioned technology stabilizes the slurry by neutralizing the residual alkali from the lithium-filling materials through the introduction of acidic additives. However, the addition of additives reduces the proportion of active material, thus lowering the battery's energy density. Furthermore, the effects of acidic additives on the electrochemical system of lithium batteries are unclear, posing potential risks to battery cycle performance and other aspects.

[0010] Lithium-replenishing additives for positive electrodes are an effective technology for replenishing lithium in lithium-ion batteries. However, existing lithium-replenishing additives have a high residual alkali content on their surface, which can react with widely used PVDF binders, causing chemical gelation of the slurry, affecting the quality of the positive electrode sheet, and thus degrading battery performance.

[0011] CN110137433A, CN111916752A, and CN113937254A reduce the contact between the lithium-filling material and the positive electrode slurry, shorten the exposure time of the lithium-filling material in the environment, and reduce the residual alkali content on the surface of the lithium-filling material through step-by-step coating and water treatment processes, thereby mitigating the gelation process of the slurry. However, these technologies all overturn the conventional electrode homogenization coating process, greatly increasing the complexity of the electrode preparation process and raising production costs.

[0012] CN113745459A stabilizes the slurry by introducing acidic additives to neutralize the alkaline substances introduced by the lithium-ion battery supplementation material. However, the addition of additives reduces the proportion of active material, thereby lowering the battery's energy density. Furthermore, the effect of acidic additives on the electrochemical system of lithium-ion batteries is unclear, posing potential risks to battery cycle performance and other aspects. Summary of the Invention

[0013] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides an anti-gelling lithium-supplementing cathode slurry and a method for preparing lithium-supplementing cathode sheets. By using two-component cathode binders with different molecular weights, high adhesion (contributed by the high molecular weight component) is maintained while the overall viscosity of the slurry is reduced (contributed by the low molecular weight component), thus improving flow performance.

[0014] Since the alkali source in the slurry originates from the slow release of lithium-supplementing materials and is unevenly distributed, good fluidity can alleviate the problem of excessively high local alkali concentration, reduce the kinetics of the defluorination reaction, and thus reduce the degree of crosslinking. Simultaneously, the spatial distribution of high and low molecular weight molecules interpenetrates reduces the probability of reactions between high molecular weight molecules, slows the molecular weight growth rate of the crosslinking network, delays the arrival of the gel point, and improves the uniformity of the lithium-supplementing slurry and the quality of the electrode. This invention is simple to operate and fully compatible with existing electrode preparation processes. Furthermore, the binders used are all widely used positive electrode binders, ensuring high product safety and technological maturity.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1) This invention proposes a method for preparing an anti-gel lithium-supplementing cathode slurry and cathode sheet. It innovatively utilizes a cathode binder system with a bimodal molecular weight distribution. While ensuring high adhesion (contributed by the high molecular weight component), it reduces the overall slurry viscosity (contributed by the low molecular weight component), improving flow properties. Since the alkali source in the slurry originates from the slow release of the lithium-supplementing material, its distribution is uneven. Good flowability alleviates the problem of excessively high local alkali concentration, reduces the defluorination reaction kinetics, and thus reduces the degree of crosslinking. Simultaneously, the spatial distribution of high and low molecular weight molecules interpenetrates, reducing the probability of reactions between high molecular weight molecules, slowing the molecular weight growth rate of the crosslinking network, delaying the arrival of the gel point, and improving the uniformity of the lithium-supplementing slurry and the quality of the cathode sheet.

[0034] 2) The preparation method of this invention is simple to operate and fully compatible with existing electrode preparation processes. Furthermore, the binders used are all widely used positive electrode binders, ensuring high product safety and technological maturity.

[0035] 3) This invention aims to optimize the preparation of lithium-added positive electrode sheets. By utilizing a positive electrode binder system with a bimodal molecular weight distribution, the viscosity of the slurry is reduced while ensuring high adhesion, which greatly reduces the degree of defluorination reaction, alleviates the formation of cross-linked conjugated polyene, and improves the fluidity of the slurry and the quality of the electrode sheet.
