Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of lithium batteries, and particularly relates to a thick electrode with a directional pore structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, due to the change of social production and life style, the disadvantages of traditional fossil energy are increasingly magnified, and new energy continuously occupies more market share. Benefiting from the expansion of the current portable electronic, power grid energy storage and electric vehicle market, especially the lithium ion battery equipment representing chemical energy storage, an unprecedented development and opportunity is ushered in, and the demand for lithium ion batteries with high energy density and cycle stability is increasingly urgent. After decades of development, the lithium ion battery prepared based on the positive electrode of layered metal oxide and the graphite negative electrode has approached the limit of its single theoretical energy density (about 250 Wh / kg), and according to the requirements, to achieve a single energy density of 350 Wh / kg, more advanced battery manufacturing technology must be developed.

[0003] Generally speaking, there are two major directions to achieve higher energy density: (1) developing battery materials with higher specific capacity and matching the corresponding battery system; (2) more advanced battery structure design. Under the premise of basically not changing the properties and system characteristics of the battery material, the design and optimization of the battery structure can provide a more practical and effective method for the improvement of the energy density of the battery. Since the battery capacity is fundamentally derived from the positive and negative active materials of the battery, the core principle of the battery structure design is to reduce the proportion of non-active materials, and the common strategies include: (1) improving the sealing strength of the battery to improve the filling density; (2) improving the dynamic ability of the electrolyte; (3) thick electrode preparation. The first two are more difficult to achieve, because the cost and overall safety need to be accurately evaluated. In summary, the strategy of preparing thick electrodes for lithium ion batteries is more simple and efficient.

[0004] The design of thick electrode can greatly increase the load of active material, thereby improving the energy density of the battery. For example, if the current coating thickness of 100-200 mu m is increased to 300-500 mu m, the proportion of active material will be increased by more than 30%, thereby improving the energy density. However, in the electrode structure, merely increasing the coating thickness of the electrode will increase the transmission distance of electrons and ions, the kinetic performance will be poor, the resistance will increase during the charging and discharging process, and the polarization will be serious, which will greatly affect the rate performance of the battery and hinder the improvement of the energy density. In addition, the thick electrode will also have phenomena such as delamination and fracture during the drying process due to its thick characteristics, so it is not advisable to prepare a thick electrode by merely increasing the coating thickness, and a new method for preparing a thick electrode must be developed. In recent years, strategies for optimizing the design of thick electrodes have emerged, mainly including: (1) slurry layering coating technology; (2) 3D printing pore forming technology; (3) sacrificial template pore forming technology; (4) percolation network construction technology, etc., but these emerging technologies all face the same bottleneck, that is, they cannot realize large-scale and low-cost production.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly important to find a simple, scalable and low-cost strategy for preparing a thick electrode. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a thick electrode with a directional pore structure, which can be applied to ternary, lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate and other positive electrode materials. The lithium ion battery prepared therefrom has high energy density and high rate performance.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purposes of the application, the technical solutions adopted by the present application are as follows:

[0008] A thick electrode positive electrode of a lithium battery with a directional pore structure, wherein the thick electrode positive electrode material is one or more of nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material, lithium cobaltate material and lithium manganate material, the thick electrode conductive agent is small particle super conductive carbon black (SuperP) and carbon soot derived carbon particles, and the thick electrode adopts an inorganic foaming agent to form pores.

[0009] The present application provides a directional pore structure constructed by adding an inorganic foaming agent, and a carbon soot derived carbon particle conductive agent, thereby enhancing the lithium affinity activity and conductivity of the thick electrode, and improving the stability of the pore structure.

[0010] By adding an appropriate amount of one or more inorganic foaming agents in the material homogenization stage, during the drying process of the pole piece, the foaming agent is heated to produce bubbles that escape along the direction perpendicular to the pole piece. The rising process of numerous bubbles in the slurry with high viscosity will leave directional channels perpendicular to the pole piece, thereby preparing a thick electrode with a directional channel structure. By adjusting the type and amount of inorganic foaming agent, drying temperature and time, and coating thickness, the parameters of the directional channels can be accurately designed to ensure the uniformity of the channels in the entire pole piece. During charging and discharging, unlike traditional charge homogeneous transport, due to this special directional channel structure, the transport barrier of lithium ions in the matrix will be greatly reduced, and the lithium ions will preferentially enter the channels from the matrix, then transfer and diffuse, thereby relieving the concentration gradient of lithium ions in the pole piece matrix and reducing the overpotential polarization behavior caused by the over-thickness of the pole piece during charging and discharging.

[0011] However, thickening the electrode will still increase the internal resistance of the pole piece, although the channels on the pole piece will alleviate some battery polarization behavior, but the charge transfer polarization phenomenon in the matrix still exists. Based on this, we prepared carbon soot derived carbon particle conductive agent to enhance the lithium affinity activity and conductivity of thick pole pieces and improve the stability of the channel structure. We used carbon soot particles in automobile exhaust as the carbon source, which not only alleviates environmental problems, but also is a new idea and method for converting non-renewable energy waste into sustainable clean energy. We used the metal ion complexing ability of phytic acid to complex metal ions in situ on the purified carbon particles, and the reaction proceeded spontaneously. Then heat treatment was carried out to remove nitrogen and sulfur impurities in the carbon soot particles again. The phytic acid layer complexed with metal ions carbonizes to form carbon six-membered rings, some of which are doped with phosphorus. High temperature causes the M-O bond to break, most of which are converted into metal elements, and a part is converted into metal phosphides. After the crushing process, metal-loaded phosphorus-doped carbon particles are prepared. The particle size D50 of the carbon particles after heat treatment is between 50-100 nm, which is a mesoporous material with high specific surface area, and due to the complexation of phytic acid, it has a certain network continuity. The presence of phosphorus-doped carbon rings and elemental metals makes the material have good lithium affinity, and the thick electrode prepared using this conductive agent has better electrical activity and conductivity in the battery system, and the continuous conductive agent also helps to stabilize the structure of the pole piece.

[0012] It can be seen that the thick electrode with the directional pore structure makes up for the shortcomings of excessive internal resistance and poor kinetic performance, and in practical application, the energy density is greatly improved, and the rate performance is better than that of the battery prepared by the traditional electrode sheet. Meanwhile, the carbon soot derived carbon particles conductive agent is used, which not only considers the environmental problem, but also is a new idea and method for converting non-renewable energy waste into sustainable clean energy. The function is improved in terms of lithium affinity activity and conductivity, the polarization behavior of the thick electrode is reduced, the electrode in the battery is more electrically active, the pore structure of the thick electrode is protected to a certain extent, the cycle life and safety performance of the thick electrode battery are improved, and stable output is ensured.
