Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion battery materials, and in particular to an aqueous cross-linking binder and a preparation method thereof, a lithium ion battery negative electrode material and a preparation method thereof, and a secondary lithium battery. Background Art

[0002] The recent boom in mobile electronic devices, such as smartphones and laptops, has driven a surge in demand for batteries. Simultaneously, the commercialization of the electric vehicle industry and the expansion of large-scale power grids are driving the development of lithium-ion batteries toward larger capacity and higher energy density.

[0003] The theoretical specific capacity of traditional graphite anode is 372mAh / g, which cannot meet the market demand for high-capacity batteries. Silicon has attracted extensive attention from Chinese and foreign scholars due to its extremely high theoretical specific capacity (4200mAh / g). Compared with graphite anode, silicon has obvious advantages in capacity and lower electrode potential (vsLi / Li + ≤0.4V) makes it difficult for lithium to precipitate on the surface of the silicon negative electrode, and the safety performance is better. Although silicon has the above advantages as the negative electrode of lithium-ion batteries, there are still some difficulties that have not been overcome. There are mainly two points: (1) The lithium storage capacity of silicon is reflected through alloying. During the lithium insertion process, amorphous Li first appears on the outer layer of crystalline silicon. x Si, the interior still maintains the form of crystalline silicon, so there will be a huge stress difference between the inside and outside, causing particle pulverization. And silicon is fully embedded with lithium (forming Li 4.4 After the silicon particles are pulverized, the volume will expand by 300-400% compared to crystalline silicon, resulting in a drastic change in the stress between silicon particles and the pulverization of the electrode active material. The pulverization of silicon particles will cause cracks in the conductive network formed between the silicon particles and the conductive agent, which will prevent lithium from being released, causing a decrease in capacity and affecting the cycle performance. (2) The pulverization of silicon particles will produce new surfaces, leading to the repeated generation of solid electrolyte membrane (SEI), repeated consumption of electrolyte, affecting the cycle performance of the battery, and ultimately causing the battery to short circuit.

[0004] To address these issues, designing a three-dimensional network binder with excellent mechanical properties can effectively alleviate a series of problems faced during the lithiation process of silicon anodes. Currently, commonly used crosslinkers include organic peroxides, anhydrides, glycidyl ethers, polyacids, polyols, or small-molecule monomers containing unsaturated bonds. However, these crosslinkers often encounter problems such as difficulty in initiation, poor reactivity with polymer chains, environmentally unfriendly solvents, difficulty in post-processing and purification, and difficulty in controlling the degree of crosslinking during the reaction process. The electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries is very sensitive to the water content of the electrode and the electrochemical stability of the additives, so choosing the right crosslinker is extremely important.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a three-dimensional network adhesive with excellent mechanical properties has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
