Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polymer, in particular to a lithium ion battery negative electrode binder, a preparation method thereof and a negative electrode slurry. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion batteries have high energy density, good safety performance, long cycle life and other advantages, which make them show broad application prospects in small portable electronic devices, large electric vehicles and other large energy storage systems. With the vigorous development of new energy industry, how to prolong the cycle stability, high energy density, high transmission rate, low cost and high safety of lithium ion batteries has become a research hotspot for many enterprises. The energy density of lithium ion batteries is affected by many factors. In addition to improving the specific capacity or proportion of active materials, the amount of non-active substances can also be indirectly increased to improve the energy density of the battery.

[0003] The binder is an important non-active material in lithium ion batteries, which mainly functions to bond active materials, conductive agents and current collectors, so that they have overall connectivity, maintain the integrity of the electrode during the cycle process, thereby reducing the ion transmission resistance of the electrode, and at the same time making the electrode sheet have good mechanical properties and processing properties to meet the needs of industrial production.

[0004] Carbon negative electrode materials include graphitized carbon and non-graphitized carbon. Among them, graphite has a theoretical capacity of 372mA·h / g, and is considered as an ideal negative electrode material in the current commercial application of lithium ion batteries due to its low charge-discharge voltage platform, high cycle stability and low cost. However, the graphite negative electrode is prone to pulverization during the cycle process, resulting in capacity attenuation. The main reason for this phenomenon is that the binder does not sufficiently inhibit the expansion of the negative electrode during charging and discharging, and has low mechanical strength.

[0005] Currently, the binder for the graphite negative electrode of lithium ion batteries is a mixture of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). SBR is a water-based binder with good aging resistance and strong adhesion, but has poor dispersion effect. Adding too much SBR will cause large swelling. CMC is a chain-like water-based binder containing abundant carboxyl groups. CMC has thickening, bonding and suspending effects in aqueous solution, and is therefore widely used in the fields of ceramics, textiles, adhesives, etc. When used as a battery binder, CMC can disperse the negative electrode slurry, prevent slurry settlement and improve the peel strength of the electrode sheet. CMC is brittle, and its combination with SBR combines the advantages of both, resulting in an electrode sheet with good adhesion and flexibility.

[0006] CMC is a derivative of a natural polysaccharide, the molecular chain of which is connected by glycosidic bonds, and there is no chemical cross-linking between the molecular chains. The content of carboxylate is not high enough, which limits the bonding effect between CMC and foil and active substances. In terms of chemical stability, adhesion and thickening ability, it has been increasingly unable to meet the requirements of lithium ion battery high performance and high energy density trend for binder materials.

[0007] D1: CN110627945A discloses a long-chain unsaturated carboxylic acid or its derivative modified acrylate adhesive and its preparation method and application. A long-chain unsaturated carboxylic acid or its derivative is introduced into the molecular chain of the acrylate adhesive. The long-chain unsaturated carboxylic acid is an unsaturated carboxylic acid with a carbon chain length of not less than 12, and its derivative is a derived carboxylate, ester, amide, acyl halide or anhydride. The long-chain unsaturated carboxylic acid or its derivative, represented by oleic acid, ricinoleic acid or glyceride, is used as a modified monomer. The raw materials are simple and easy to obtain, and the cost is low. Under the premise of ensuring good modification effect, the raw material cost can be effectively controlled. The obtained lithium battery adhesive has high adhesion, electrolyte resistance, low water absorption and flexibility, and can well match the preparation requirements of lithium battery ceramic separator slurry, negative electrode slurry and positive electrode slurry.

[0008] D2: CN114335546A discloses a battery electrode binder and a battery electrode. The binder comprises a solvent, a modified polyvinyl alcohol, and a polyphenol compound. The modified polyvinyl alcohol is a product obtained by hydrolysis or alcoholysis after copolymerization of carboxylic acid vinyl ester and side chain containing hydroxyl acrylamide and long chain alkyl acrylate. The polyphenol compound contains a benzene ring structure, and the benzene ring structure contains two or more phenolic hydroxyl groups. The mass of the polyphenol compound is 5-30% of the modified polyvinyl alcohol. By modifying the polyvinyl alcohol and introducing functional structural units of side chain containing hydroxyl acrylamide and long chain alkyl acrylate, the prepared binder has stronger adhesion to silicon-based negative active material, stronger ability to inhibit volume expansion of silicon-based negative active material, and better uniform and stable dispersion ability of silicon-based negative active material. At the same time, the thermal stability of polyvinyl alcohol as a lithium ion battery binder is also improved.

[0009] D3: CN112002903A discloses an oily binder and its use, the oily binder includes at least one of oily polyacrylic acid, oily polyacrylate, oily styrene acrylate, oily polyacrylonitrile, oily polyacrylamide, oily polyimide and oily polyamide-imide, the molecular weight thereof is selected from 5W~200W;The above-mentioned oily binder is used to replace the traditional water-based binder for negative electrode slurry, effectively solves the problems of uneven dispersion, many coated particles, water-based binder floating and cold pressing sticky roller in water-based negative electrode slurry preparation;And compared with the traditional water-based binder, the battery obtained from the oily binder has the characteristics of low direct current resistance, good fast charging performance, small fast charging temperature rise, less side reaction and long cycle life of the battery;And compared with the oily polyvinylidene fluoride as the binder, the battery obtained from the oily binder has higher energy density.

[0010] The specification records: compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] (1) The oily binder for negative electrode slurry of the present application uses the above-mentioned specific composition and molecular weight, compared with the traditional water-based binder, it can obviously improve the problems of uneven dispersion, many coated particles, binder floating and cold pressing sticky roller in the negative electrode slurry preparation process, and the direct current resistance of the obtained battery is low, the fast charging performance is good, the side reaction is less, and the cycle life of the battery is long;

[0012] (2) Compared with the traditional oily polyvinylidene fluoride, the oily binder for negative electrode slurry of the present application can form hydrogen bonds between the current collector copper foil during use, and the adhesion is obviously greater than that of polyvinylidene fluoride, so that the amount of the binder is obviously reduced, and the energy density of the obtained battery is improved.

[0013] The product of D1 is an emulsion; D2 and D3 are oil-soluble systems.

[0014] The above-mentioned adhesive system has the following problems:

[0015] 1. The above-mentioned literature does not indicate that it can be matched with SBR;

[0016] 2. The above-mentioned literature does not clearly indicate whether it can replace CMC.

[0017] The technical problem solved by the present application is: how to further improve the adhesion of the SBR-based adhesive, reduce the amount of the binder in the negative electrode, reduce the battery internal resistance and DCR, improve the battery rate performance, and improve the battery energy density.

[0116] Fourth part of the result analysis

[0117] 1. As shown by the viscosity and peel force tests of Examples 1-3 and 9, the addition of acrylamide has little effect on the viscosity of the polymer, but has a large effect on the peel strength of the negative electrode slurry. The more acrylamide is used, the greater the peel strength is.

[0118] As shown by the internal resistance tests of Examples 1-3 and 9, when the amount of acrylamide is 0.3-0.4g, the internal resistance is in the best state. The possible reason is that although acrylamide can improve the dispersibility and the bonding force with SBR, the amide group may increase the internal resistance. Therefore, too much acrylamide leads to an increase in internal resistance, and too little acrylamide leads to a negative electrode flatness and uniformity that is not as good as that of more acrylamide. In combination, the amount of acrylamide is selected to be 0.3-0.4g for the best result.

[0119] 2. By comparing Example 1, Example 4, Example 5, Comparative Example 4, Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that as the amount of crosslinking agent increases, the viscosity gradually increases, and the peel strength is shown as Example 1 > Example 4 > Example 5 > Comparative Example 3 > Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that too much crosslinking agent reduces the peel strength, and the possible reason is that too large crosslinking density causes polyacrylate and SBR to be unable to mix well, and finally reduces the peel strength of SBR.

[0120] And the internal resistance is shown as Comparative Example 3 > Example 5 > Example 4 > Example 1 > Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that the smaller the crosslinking density, the better the performance of reducing the internal resistance.

[0121] 3. By Example 6-8, it can be seen that when different acrylamide monomers and different long-chain alkyl (meth) acrylate monomers are selected, there is no regular change in viscosity, peel strength and internal resistance.

[0122] 4. By Example 1, Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that too little hydrophobic monomer causes the polyacrylate particle surface to easily hydrate, resulting in poor dispersion of the particles in the slurry, and finally the viscosity, peel strength and internal resistance are all less than Example 1; too much hydrophobic monomer increases the internal resistance of the polyacrylate particles, although the viscosity and peel strength are not affected by too much, but the significant increase in internal resistance will cause the product performance to be poor.

[0123] The above examples are the preferred embodiments of the present application, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited by the above examples, and any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principles of the present application shall be equivalent replacement methods, and all shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
