[0002] With the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, end users are demanding higher driving ranges. Major power battery manufacturers are racing to improve cell energy density, primarily focusing on high-nickel content and thinner foil materials.

In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.

[0035] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, a method for preparing long fiber electrodes is provided according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the method for preparing long fiber electrodes includes preparing an electrode spinning solution, wherein the electrode spinning solution includes a positive electrode spinning solution and a negative electrode spinning solution; preparing long fiber precursors based on the electrode spinning solution, wherein the long fiber precursors include long fiber positive electrode precursors and long fiber negative electrode precursors; weaving the long fiber precursors using a weft loom to obtain a long fiber fabric, wherein the long fiber fabric includes long fiber positive electrode fabric and long fiber negative electrode fabric; coating the long fiber fabric with a composite impregnation solution; and drying the long fiber fabric coated with the composite impregnation solution to obtain long fiber electrodes, wherein the long fiber electrodes include long fiber positive electrode electrodes and long fiber negative electrode electrodes.

[0037] In this embodiment, long fiber precursors are prepared from the electrode spinning solution, and the resulting long fiber fabric is woven on a weft loom. The long fiber fabric has extremely high mechanical strength, and the resulting battery cell has high torsional stiffness and other high-strength physical structural characteristics, which reduces the thermal runaway problem caused by physical deformation. Furthermore, since the material forming the electrode spinning solution has high flame retardancy and conductivity, the long fiber precursors prepared from the electrode spinning solution have strong flame retardancy. The resulting long fiber electrode has strong flame retardancy and strong conductivity, preventing combustion and explosion under thermal runaway conditions and improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0038] Further, the preparation of electrode spinning solutions includes preparing a positive electrode spinning solution, wherein the positive electrode spinning solution includes at least one selected from the following: positive electrode active material, conductive agent, polymer resin, solid electrolyte, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, boron oxide, polyester, polyimide, nylon, copper, and nickel. The preparation of electrode spinning solutions also includes preparing a negative electrode spinning solution, wherein the negative electrode spinning solution includes at least one selected from the following: negative electrode active material, conductive agent, polymer resin, solid electrolyte, polyethylene oxide, polyacrylonitrile long fiber, calcium oxide, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, boron oxide, polyimide, copper, and nickel. The positive electrode spinning solution and the negative electrode spinning solution are used to prepare long-fiber positive electrode precursor and long-fiber negative electrode precursor, respectively, and the substances contained in the positive electrode spinning solution and the negative electrode spinning solution are different. Adding positive and negative electrode active materials and conductive agents to the electrode spinning solution allows the long fiber precursor prepared from the electrode spinning solution to contain positive and negative electrode materials. The ion and electron transport distance of the long fiber electrode formed in this way is greatly shortened, and the power output and fast charging performance can be improved by more than 10%.

[0039] Furthermore, the composite impregnation solution includes at least one of PVDF-HFP, EP, LATP, and LLZO. The composite impregnation solution is used to impregnate the fibers of long-fiber spun fabrics with a sizing solution, which improves the bonding strength of the long-fiber spun fabrics, enhances their stiffness, and reduces their heat shrinkage ratio.

[0040] Furthermore, the positive electrode active material includes at least one of LiFePO4, LiNixCoyMnzO2, LiFexMnyPO4, LMR, and NCMA. The positive electrode active material is mainly used to provide the lithium source and energy.

[0041] Furthermore, the negative electrode active material includes at least one of graphite, hard carbon, soft carbon, mesophase carbon microspheres, metallic lithium, and metal alloys. The negative electrode active material functions to collect lithium sources and store energy.

[0042] Furthermore, the conductive agent includes at least one of SP super carbon black, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, single-walled carbon nanotubes, and flake graphite. The conductive agent increases the conductive contact between active materials and improves electronic conductivity. SP super carbon black is a commonly used and inexpensive conductive agent; multi-walled and single-walled carbon nanotubes can improve the high and low temperature performance of the product, enhance its thermal conductivity, and extend its cycle life; flake graphite can improve electronic conductivity and reduce the amount of conductive agent required.

[0043] Furthermore, the solid electrolyte includes at least one of LATP, LLZO, sulfides, halides, PEO, and HFP-PVDF. A solid electrolyte is a solid ionic conductor electrolyte with high safety, no leakage of toxic organic liquids, low flammability, non-volatility, thermal stability, and the ability to achieve higher power density and cycleability.

[0044] Furthermore, at least one of Li5FeO4, Li2NiO2, and Li2CO3 lithium replenishing additives or interface repair agents is added to the positive electrode active material. Li5FeO4, Li2NiO2, and Li2CO3 can pre-lithiate the electrode material, thereby improving battery life by replenishing lithium losses during cycling. When the battery capacity, health, and State of Harm (SOH) value decay to 80%, the Battery Management System (BMS) initiates high-voltage repair, which can automatically repair the interface and replenish active lithium losses.

[0045] Furthermore, in the step of preparing the positive electrode spinning solution, the positive electrode active material, conductive agent, and solid electrolyte undergo silane hydrolysis pretreatment before being added to the positive electrode spinning solution. Similarly, in the step of preparing the negative electrode spinning solution, the negative electrode active material, conductive agent, and solid electrolyte undergo silane hydrolysis pretreatment before being added to the negative electrode spinning solution. Silane hydrolysis pretreatment enhances the bonding strength between the inorganic and organic interfaces.

[0046] Furthermore, in the steps of preparing long-fiber positive and negative electrode sheets, before coating the long-fiber positive and negative electrode fabrics with the composite impregnation solution, the long-fiber positive and negative electrode fabrics are surface-treated with silane hydrolysis solution and ammonium carbonate. Silane hydrolysis pretreatment improves the bonding strength between the inorganic and organic interfaces.

[0047] According to another aspect of the present invention, a battery having long fiber electrodes is provided. The long fiber electrodes include a long fiber positive electrode and a long fiber negative electrode, which are prepared by the above-described method for preparing long fiber electrodes. The battery includes a battery body, a long fiber positive electrode, a long fiber negative electrode, and a separator. The long fiber positive electrode is connected to the battery body; the long fiber negative electrode is connected to the battery body; and the separator is located between the long fiber positive electrode and the long fiber negative electrode.

[0048] Specifically, the long-fiber spun electrode structure differs from traditional extrusion-coated electrodes. It is formed from a spinning melt containing positive and negative electrode active materials, conductive agents, polymer resins, solid electrolytes, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, boron oxide, polyester, polyimide, nylon, pure copper, and pure nickel, creating long-fiber precursors which are then woven into long-fiber electrodes. The long-fiber spun electrode exhibits extremely high mechanical strength, and the resulting battery cell possesses high torsional stiffness and other high-strength physical structural characteristics. The torsional stiffness of the battery cell itself is increased by ≥50%, significantly reducing the risk of thermal runaway caused by physical deformation. Flame-retardant materials such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, boron oxide, and polyimide are specially added to the long-fiber spun electrode structure, giving the long-fiber spinning itself strong flame retardancy. This, in turn, ensures the flame retardancy of both the long-fiber electrode and the battery cell, achieving intrinsic safety for the battery cell. In the long-fiber spinning structure, carbon black and carbon nanotubes are added, and the spinning structure itself forms a conductive framework. This framework is used to prepare composite electrodes. Because the long-fiber composite framework has excellent 3D conductivity, the positive and negative electrode foil current collectors can be omitted, increasing energy density by ≥15%. During the long-fiber spinning process, positive and negative electrode active materials and solid electrolytes can be added to form a three-dimensional electron and ion pathway, which can greatly shorten the electron and ion transport distance, improve the high-power and fast-charging characteristics of the battery cell, and achieve >6C fast charging characteristics. Due to the inherent conductivity of the long fibers, the aluminum foil and copper foil current collector structures can be eliminated, greatly reducing the weight of the battery cell. The battery weight is reduced by more than 10% compared to conventional batteries.

[0049] Furthermore, a battery with long fiber electrodes is a long fiber reinforced power battery composed of long fiber positive electrode, long fiber negative electrode, polymer separator or semi-solid or solid electrolyte and shell structure; its assembly structure can be "Z" shaped stacking, roll-to-roll hot pressing, stacking and other structures, and the number of layers is determined by the required capacity of the battery, and can be set as needed from 0 to 100,000 layers. The long-fiber structure has a fiber length of 6-100mm, with a preferred range of 6-25mm; the fiber diameter is 0.05nm-400μm. This long-fiber conductive framework forms a three-dimensional electron-ion conductive network, improving fast-charging performance and power output by ≥20%. Under 6C fast charging conditions, the temperature rise is <25℃, and the overall cell temperature distribution difference is ≤3℃. Self-healing active materials are added to the long-fiber structure. When the battery capacity, health, and State of Harmony (SOH) value decay to 80%, the Battery Management System (BMS) sets a repair program. The specific repair stages are as follows: the upper limit of the cell charging voltage is adjusted to a usable voltage of 4.6V; the repair material is activated through high voltage to replenish lithium loss and repair the solid electrolyte interface. Simultaneously, the long-fiber inorganic structure possesses strong flame retardancy, improving cell safety at the electrode level and significantly enhancing safety characteristics compared to traditional cells.

[0050] Furthermore, the battery obtained using this preparation method possesses a high elastic modulus (≥230 GPa), a tensile strength (≥5000 MPa), and can increase the battery's weight energy density by up to 15% and its volumetric energy density by up to 10%. Battery systems or vehicle chassis manufactured using this battery exhibit a torsional stiffness ≥50000 N. With a torque of m / °, the battery prepared using this method can be assembled into a high-torsional-stiffness battery system or an integrated automotive chassis structure. This battery significantly improves energy density, power density, and fast-charging performance, while effectively preventing cell deformation and breakage during crash tests, greatly enhancing safety.

[0051] Furthermore, the connection methods between the tabs of the long-fiber positive electrode and the external connecting tabs include one of the following: ultrasonic bonding, riveting, mechanical pressing, and bonding with a conductive polymer. The connection methods between the tabs of the long-fiber negative electrode and the external connecting tabs also include one of the following: ultrasonic bonding, riveting, mechanical pressing, and bonding with a conductive polymer. The external connecting tab is a battery casing or an external module connector. The tab is a metallic conductor led out from the positive and negative terminals of the battery, and the connection methods between the tab and the external connecting tab are diverse.

[0055] The battery body 100 has external dimensions of 30mm × 300mm × 102mm, adopts a square aluminum shell encapsulation structure, and has a capacity of 220Ah. In the preparation of the composite spinning solution, the positive electrode active material 20 is LiNi. 0.9 Co 0.05 Mn 0.05 O2, SP carbon black conductive agent 30, CNTS carbon nanotubes 40, NMP, polyoxyethylene, and polyacrylonitrile.
