Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of battery technology, specifically relating to a positive electrode sheet, a secondary battery and its preparation method, as well as a battery module, battery pack and power device containing the secondary battery. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, rechargeable batteries have been widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, as well as in power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric cars, military equipment, aerospace, and various electronic products. As the application scope of rechargeable batteries becomes increasingly broad, higher requirements are being placed on their capacity performance and cycle performance.
[0003] However, during the first charge of a secondary battery, an SEI (solid electrolyte interface) film inevitably forms on the negative electrode, causing the consumption of active ions. The resulting irreversible capacity loss is difficult to eliminate, thereby reducing the first discharge capacity and posing a challenge to improving the cycle life of the secondary battery. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application was made in view of the aforementioned problems, and its object is to provide a positive electrode sheet that enables a secondary battery to achieve a high initial discharge capacity and a long cycle life. Another object of this application is to provide a secondary battery with a high initial discharge capacity and a long cycle life, and a method for preparing the same. Yet another object of this application is to provide a battery module, battery pack, and power-consuming device incorporating the secondary battery of this application.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this application provides a positive electrode sheet, comprising a positive current collector, a positive active material layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector, and a lithium replenishment layer disposed on the surface of the positive active material layer opposite to the positive current collector. The lithium replenishment layer comprises a positive lithium replenishment material, a conductive agent, and a binder A. The positive lithium replenishment material comprises a lithium-rich metal oxide, and the binder A is selected from polymers comprising a first monomer unit represented by Formula I and a second monomer unit represented by Formula II.

[0008] This application, by placing the lithium replenishment layer on the surface of the positive electrode active material layer opposite to the positive electrode current collector, facilitates the release of more lithium ions from the positive electrode lithium replenishment material and promotes the migration of extracted active lithium to the negative electrode for lithium replenishment. The lithium replenishment layer uses a polymer comprising a first monomer unit and a second monomer unit as a binder, which consumes free lithium compounds such as LiOH and Li2CO3 on the surface of lithium-rich metal oxides. This effectively improves the gelation problem of the slurry and ensures a tight bond between the lithium replenishment layer and the positive electrode active material layer. Simultaneously, it effectively avoids reactions between excessive carboxyl groups in the binder and active lithium ions, thereby helping the positive electrode lithium replenishment material release more lithium ions during charging and ensuring that more lithium ions are used for lithium replenishment. Therefore, the positive electrode lithium replenishment material in this application achieves a high utilization rate of active lithium, thereby improving the battery's initial charge / discharge capacity and energy density, and enabling the battery to achieve a longer cycle life.

[0059] The following detailed description, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings, discloses the positive electrode sheet, secondary battery, and methods for preparing the same, as well as embodiments of the battery module, battery pack, and power-consuming device comprising the secondary battery. However, unnecessary detailed descriptions may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of well-known matters and repetitive descriptions of practically identical structures may be omitted. This is to avoid unnecessarily lengthy descriptions and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to fully understand this application and are not intended to limit the subject matter of the claims.
[0060] The "range" disclosed in this application is defined by a lower limit and an upper limit. A given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, which define the boundaries of a particular range. Ranges defined in this way can include or exclude endpoints and can be arbitrarily combined; that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, if ranges of 60–120 and 80–110 are listed for a specific parameter, it is understood that ranges of 60–110 and 80–120 are also expected. Furthermore, if minimum range values of 1 and 2 are listed, and if maximum range values of 3, 4, and 5 are listed, then the following ranges are all expected: 1–3, 1–4, 1–5, 2–3, 2–4, and 2–5. In this application, unless otherwise stated, the numerical range "a–b" represents a shortened representation of any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0~5" indicates that all real numbers between "0~5" have been listed in this article; "0~5" is simply a shortened representation of these numerical combinations. Furthermore, when a parameter is stated as an integer ≥2, it is equivalent to disclosing that the parameter is, for example, an integer such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.

For example, the method includes steps (a) and (b), indicating that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed sequentially, or it may include steps (b) and (a) performed sequentially. For example, the mention that the method may also include step (c) indicates that step (c) may be added to the method in any order. For example, the method may include steps (a), (b), and (c), or it may include steps (a), (c), and (b), or it may include steps (c), (a), and (b), etc.

[0065] Unless otherwise specified, the term "or" is inclusive in this application. For example, the phrase "A or B" means "A, B, or both A and B". More specifically, the condition "A or B" is satisfied by any of the following conditions: A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist); A is false (or does not exist) and B is true (or exists); or both A and B are true (or exist).
[0066] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "above" and "below" in this application include the stated number, and "several types" means two or more types.
[0067] To meet the high energy density requirements of secondary batteries, a lithium-rich composite positive electrode can be prepared by incorporating a lithium replenishment layer containing a positive electrode lithium replenishment material. During the first charge of the secondary battery, the positive electrode lithium replenishment material releases active lithium, which can be used to compensate for the irreversible loss of active lithium caused by the formation of an SEI film on the negative electrode.
[0068] Cathode lithium replenishment materials can contain lithium-rich metal oxides. However, to increase their lithium content, existing lithium-rich metal oxides often incorporate excess lithium sources during synthesis. The residual lithium source on the surface of these oxides reacts with CO2 and H2O from the environment to form free lithium compounds such as LiOH and Li2CO3. The presence of these free lithium compounds not only reduces the battery's energy density but also leads to a higher pH value (e.g., pH ≥ 11) in the cathode lithium replenishment material. During the preparation of the lithium replenishment layer slurry, the high pH value of the cathode lithium replenishment material reacts with commonly used cathode binders (e.g., polyvinylidene fluoride, PVDF), causing the slurry to gel. This not only makes the lithium replenishment layer difficult to process but also affects the adhesion between the lithium replenishment layer and adjacent active material layers, thus reducing the lithium replenishment effect.
[0069] Further research by the inventors revealed that by optimizing the design of the lithium replenishment layer, including the combination design of the positive electrode lithium replenishment material and the binder, the above problems can be solved and the lithium replenishment effect can be improved.
[0070] Based on this, one embodiment of this application provides a positive electrode sheet. The positive electrode sheet includes a positive current collector, a positive active material layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive current collector, and a lithium replenishment layer disposed on the surface of the positive active material layer opposite to the positive current collector. The lithium replenishment layer comprises a positive lithium replenishment material, a conductive agent, and a binder A. The positive lithium replenishment material comprises a lithium-rich metal oxide, and the binder A is selected from polymers comprising a first monomer unit represented by Formula I and a second monomer unit represented by Formula II.
[0071]
[0072] R 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 R 5 and R 6 Each is independently selected from hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C8 alkyl groups; R is selected from substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C8 alkyl groups.
[0073] The term "C1-C8 alkyl" refers to an alkyl group containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Examples of C1-C8 alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, etc. In "substituted C1-C8 alkyl," one or more hydrogen atoms may be substituted by other elements or groups. Other elements may include, but are not limited to, F, Cl, O, etc. Other groups may include, but are not limited to, hydroxyl, amino, phenyl, methoxy, etc.
[0074] The positive electrode is the electrode with the highest potential in the battery. The positive electrode sheet is the electrode plate placed on the positive electrode. Positive electrode lithium replenishment material is typically placed on the positive electrode and provides additional active lithium during the first charge or initial charging of the battery. The active lithium provided by the positive electrode lithium replenishment material can be used to compensate for the irreversible loss of active lithium caused by the formation of the SEI film on the negative electrode, thereby increasing the amount of active lithium in the battery and its lifespan.
[0075] The positive electrode lithium replenishment material contains lithium-rich metal oxide, and the lithium replenishment layer uses a polymer (i.e., binder A) comprising a first monomer unit and a second monomer unit as a binder. The first monomer unit in binder A has a carboxyl group, which can undergo an acid-base neutralization reaction with free lithium compounds such as LiOH and Li₂CO₃ on the surface of the lithium-rich metal oxide, thereby lowering the pH value of the positive electrode lithium replenishment material containing lithium-rich metal oxide and effectively improving the gelation problem of the slurry. Simultaneously, the structure of binder A also includes a second monomer unit, which effectively prevents reactions between excessive carboxyl groups in binder A and active lithium ions, thereby reducing active lithium loss and ensuring that more active lithium is used for lithium replenishment. As can be seen, in this application, the binder in the lithium replenishment layer is a polymer comprising a first monomer unit and a second monomer unit, which can improve the stability of the slurry containing lithium-rich metal oxide cathode lithium replenishment material and the slurry has good fluidity. Therefore, the processability of the lithium replenishment layer on the surface of the cathode active material layer is effectively improved, and a tight bond is formed between the lithium replenishment layer and the cathode active material layer. At the same time, it also helps the cathode lithium replenishment material release more lithium ions during charging.
[0076] Therefore, the positive electrode lithium replenishment material in the positive electrode sheet of this application can achieve a high utilization rate of active lithium. The active lithium provided by the positive electrode lithium replenishment material can more effectively compensate for the active lithium loss caused by the formation of the SEI film, thereby improving the initial discharge capacity of the battery and thus enabling the battery to achieve a higher energy density. A portion of the active lithium from the positive electrode lithium replenishment material can also be intercalated into the negative electrode active material, placing the negative electrode active material in a certain lithium-intercalated state, which can alleviate the volume change of the negative electrode active material to a certain extent. Therefore, the risk of negative electrode active material cracking or powder shedding is reduced, while maintaining good electrolyte wettability and liquid retention. This portion of active lithium stored in the negative electrode can also be used to compensate for the active lithium loss during battery cycling in the middle and later stages of cycling. Therefore, the battery can also have a longer cycle life.
[0077] Furthermore, the carboxyl lithium (-COOLi) formed by the reaction of the carboxyl groups in binder A with free lithium compounds can reversibly undergo lithium-ion dissociation and recombination, thus serving as a lithium-ion transport channel and improving the lithium-ion transport performance of the replenishment layer. This not only helps improve the replenishment efficiency but also enables the delithiated replenishment layer to have good ion transport performance, thereby contributing to improved initial charge-discharge capacity and cycle life of the battery.
[0078] Placing the lithium replenishment layer on the surface of the positive electrode active material layer, opposite to the positive electrode current collector, facilitates the release of more lithium ions from the positive electrode lithium replenishment material. Furthermore, the proximity of the lithium replenishment layer to the negative electrode promotes the migration of active lithium extracted from the positive electrode lithium replenishment material to the negative electrode for lithium replenishment. Therefore, the positive electrode lithium replenishment material exhibits high active lithium utilization, resulting in a high active lithium reserve in the battery, which helps improve the battery's initial charge / discharge capacity, energy density, and cycle life.
[0079] After delithiation, the cathode material often undergoes volume shrinkage. Placing the lithium replenishment layer on the surface of the cathode active material layer opposite to the cathode current collector can avoid adversely affecting the electronic conductivity of the cathode active material layer and its relationship with the cathode current collector. In particular, the voids created by particle volume shrinkage can promote electrolyte diffusion into the cathode active material layer inside the electrode, thus enhancing lithium-ion transport. Therefore, the cycle life of the battery can be further improved.

[0089] In some embodiments, based on the total weight of the first and second monomer units, the content of the first monomer unit in binder A is 30% to 70%, optionally 40% to 60%. Binder A containing an appropriate amount of the first monomer unit can more fully consume free lithium compounds on the surface of lithium-rich metal oxides, further alleviating the slurry gelation problem. Furthermore, binder A can react with free lithium compounds to form an appropriate amount of carboxylated lithium, thereby improving the lithium-ion transport performance of the lithium replenishment layer. Therefore, the initial charge-discharge capacity and cycle life of the battery can be further improved.
[0090] In some embodiments, based on the total weight of the first and second monomer units, the content of the second monomer unit in binder A can be selected as 70% to 30%, and optionally 60% to 40%. The binder A containing an appropriate amount of the second monomer unit can further reduce active lithium loss and improve the utilization rate of active lithium for lithium replenishment. Furthermore, an appropriate content of the second monomer unit helps to give binder A a suitable molecular chain segment length, thereby enabling binder A to perform better cross-linking and bonding, improving the adhesion between particles in the lithium replenishment layer and between the lithium replenishment layer and the positive electrode active material layer. Simultaneously, the compressive strength of the positive electrode sheet can be improved.

When the molecular weight of binder A is within an appropriate range, it can provide sufficient carboxyl groups to alleviate slurry gelation problems, reduce active lithium loss to improve the capacity utilization rate of the positive electrode lithium replenishment material, and simultaneously provide good cross-linking and entanglement for the positive electrode lithium replenishment material, thereby enhancing the adhesion of binder A.
[0092] In some embodiments, the binder A accounts for 2% to 7% of the weight of the lithium replenishment layer, optionally 3% to 6%, 3% to 4.5%, or 3.5% to 5%. The lithium replenishment layer containing an appropriate amount of binder A effectively alleviates the slurry gelation problem and fosters strong adhesion between the particles of the lithium replenishment layer and between the lithium replenishment layer and the positive electrode active material layer. Simultaneously, the lithium replenishment layer can also have a high proportion of positive electrode lithium replenishment material.

The specific capacity of the positive electrode lithium replenishment material is the ratio of the capacity released by the positive electrode lithium replenishment material to its mass. A higher specific capacity of the positive electrode lithium replenishment material allows for the use of a thinner lithium replenishment layer to provide more active lithium for lithium replenishment, thereby increasing the amount of active lithium in the negative electrode while ensuring that the positive electrode has high ion transport performance, thus further improving the battery's initial charge-discharge capacity and cycle life.

The lithium-rich metal oxide, predominantly composed of single-crystal particles, improves the compressive strength of the lithium replenishment layer and the positive electrode active material layer, thereby reducing particle cracking under pressure (e.g., electrode rolling pressure and battery cycle expansion force), thus improving particle structure stability. Therefore, the battery achieves extended cycle life. Furthermore, the positive electrode active material layer can achieve a higher compaction density, which is beneficial for improving the battery's energy density.

Optionally, the pH of the positive electrode lithium replenishment material is 11–13, preferably 11–12.5, or 12–12.5. This positive electrode lithium replenishment material can have a high specific capacity.

An appropriate proportion of positive electrode lithium replenishment material provides more active lithium, achieving a good lithium replenishment effect, thereby improving the battery's initial charge-discharge capacity and cycle life.
[0102] In some embodiments, the conductive agent accounts for 1% to 3% of the weight of the lithium replenishment layer, optionally 1.5% to 2.5%.

A suitable thickness ratio of the lithium replenishment layer ensures both an appropriate proportion of positive electrode lithium replenishment material for effective lithium replenishment and an appropriate proportion of positive electrode active material to provide high reversible capacity, thus enabling the battery to achieve high energy density and cycle life. Furthermore, an appropriate thickness ratio of the lithium replenishment layer facilitates process control and reduces fabrication difficulty.

For example, it can be determined using a laser particle size analyzer (e.g., Malvern Mastersizer 2000E) according to GB / T 19077-2016 Particle Size Distribution Laser Diffraction Method. Wherein, D v 50 indicates the particle size corresponding to a cumulative volume distribution percentage of 50%.
[0138] In this application, the percentage of single-crystal particles in lithium-rich metal oxide has a meaning known in the art and can be determined using methods and instruments known in the art. For example, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) can be used. An exemplary testing method includes: laying and adhering lithium-rich metal oxide onto conductive adhesive to form a sample to be tested, measuring 6 cm in length and 1.1 cm in width; and testing the particle morphology using a scanning electron microscope (e.g., ZEISS Sigma 300). The test can be referenced in JY / T010-1996. To ensure the accuracy of the test results, multiple (e.g., 5) different regions can be randomly selected from the sample to be tested for scanning, and at a certain magnification (e.g., 1000x), the percentage of single-crystal particles in each region relative to the total number of particles can be calculated, which is the percentage of single-crystal particles in that region. The average of the test results from multiple test regions is taken as the test result. To ensure the accuracy of the test results, multiple test samples (e.g., 10) can be used to repeat the above test, and the average of each test sample is taken as the final test result.
[0139] In this application, the compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer has a meaning known in the art and can be measured using methods and instruments known in the art. The compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer = weight of the positive electrode active material layer / (thickness of the positive electrode active material layer × area of the positive electrode active material layer).
[0140] Next, the secondary battery, battery module, battery pack, and power supply device of this application will be described with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0141] In one embodiment of this application, a secondary battery is provided.
[0142] Typically, a secondary battery consists of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte. During charging and discharging, active ions move back and forth between the positive and negative electrodes, inserting and releasing. The electrolyte acts as a conductor of ions between the positive and negative electrodes.
[0143] [Positive electrode plate]
[0144] In the secondary battery of this application, the positive electrode can be one or more of the positive electrode types described in this application. Therefore, the secondary battery can achieve higher initial charge-discharge capacity and energy density, as well as a longer cycle life.
[0145] [Negative electrode plate]
[0146] In the secondary battery of this application, the negative electrode sheet may include a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer disposed on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode active material layer comprising a negative electrode active material. As an example, the negative electrode current collector has two surfaces opposite each other in its own thickness direction, and the negative electrode active material layer is disposed on either or both of the two opposite surfaces of the negative electrode current collector.
[0147] In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, copper foil may be used as the metal foil. The composite current collector may include a polymeric material substrate and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymeric material substrate. The composite current collector may be formed by forming a metal material (copper, copper alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymeric material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene PP, polyethylene terephthalate PET, polybutylene terephthalate PBT, polystyrene PS, polyethylene PE, etc.).
[0148] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material may be an active material known in the art for use as a negative electrode in secondary batteries. For example, the negative electrode active material may include one or more of artificial graphite, natural graphite, soft carbon, hard carbon, silicon-based materials, tin-based materials, and lithium titanate. Silicon-based materials may be selected from one or more of elemental silicon, silicon oxide compounds, silicon-carbon composites, silicon-nitrogen composites, and silicon alloys. Tin-based materials may be selected from one or more of elemental tin, tin oxide compounds, and tin alloys. However, this application is not limited to these materials, and other conventional materials that can be used as negative electrode active materials in secondary batteries may also be used. A single negative electrode active material may be used, or two or more may be used in combination.
[0149] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer may optionally include an adhesive. The adhesive may be selected from one or more of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polyacrylic acid (PAA), sodium polyacrylate (PAAS), polyacrylamide (PAM), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS).
[0150] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film may optionally include a conductive agent. The conductive agent may be selected from one or more of superconducting carbon, carbon black (such as acetylene black, Ketjen black, Super P, etc.), carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0151] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film may optionally include other additives, such as thickeners (e.g., sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC-Na).
[0152] [Electrolytes]
[0153] This application does not impose specific restrictions on the type of electrolyte; it can be selected according to requirements. For example, the electrolyte can be liquid, gel, or completely solid.

Electrolytes using fluorinated electrolyte salts often contain trace amounts of HF. In this application, a lithium replenishment layer is disposed on the surface of the positive electrode active material layer opposite to the positive electrode current collector. The lithium-rich metal oxides therein, after delithiation, can preferentially react with HF in the electrolyte, thereby protecting the internal positive electrode active material layer and reducing the loss of positive electrode active material. Therefore, the battery can achieve a longer cycle life. In particular, the metal fluoride formed by the reaction can also improve the lithium-ion migration performance of the lithium replenishment layer.

[0158] In some embodiments, the electrolyte may optionally include additives. For example, additives may include negative electrode film-forming additives, positive electrode film-forming additives, and may also include additives that can improve certain battery performance, such as additives that improve battery overcharge performance, additives that improve battery high-temperature or low-temperature performance, etc.

[0160] In some embodiments, the secondary battery further includes a separator. The separator is disposed between the positive and negative electrodes, primarily serving to prevent short circuits between the positive and negative electrodes while allowing ions to pass through. This application does not impose any particular limitation on the type of separator; any known porous separator with good chemical and mechanical stability can be selected. As an example, the separator material can be selected from one or more of the following: glass fiber film, non-woven fabric, polyethylene film, polypropylene film, and polyvinylidene fluoride film, or a composite film of two or more of the above films.

The outer packaging of the secondary battery can be a hard shell, such as a hard plastic shell, an aluminum shell, a steel shell, etc. The outer packaging of the secondary battery can also be a soft pack, such as a pouch. The material of the soft pack can be plastic; examples of plastics include polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate, and polybutylene succinate.
[0163] This application does not impose any particular limitation on the shape of the secondary battery; it can be cylindrical, square, or any other arbitrary shape. For example, Figure 3 This is an example of a square-structured secondary battery 5.
[0164] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4The outer packaging may include a housing 51 and a cover 53. The housing 51 may include a base plate and side plates connected to the base plate, the base plate and side plates forming a receiving cavity. The housing 51 has an opening communicating with the receiving cavity, and the cover 53 can be placed over the opening to close the receiving cavity. A positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator can be formed into an electrode assembly 52 using a winding or stacking process. The electrode assembly 52 is encapsulated within the receiving cavity. Electrolyte is immersed in the electrode assembly 52. The secondary battery 5 may contain one or more electrode assemblies 52, which can be selected by those skilled in the art according to specific practical needs.
[0165] In some embodiments, the secondary batteries can be assembled into a battery module, and the number of secondary batteries contained in the battery module can be one or more, the specific number of which can be selected by those skilled in the art according to the application and capacity of the battery module.
[0166] Figure 5 This is battery module 4, used as an example. (See reference...) Figure 5 In battery module 4, multiple secondary batteries 5 can be arranged sequentially along the length of battery module 4. Of course, they can also be arranged in any other manner. Furthermore, these multiple secondary batteries 5 can be fixed in place using fasteners.
[0167] Optionally, the battery module 4 may also include a housing with a receiving space in which a plurality of secondary batteries 5 are received.
[0168] In some embodiments, the secondary batteries or battery modules can also be assembled into a battery pack. The number of secondary batteries or battery modules contained in the battery pack can be one or more, and the specific number can be selected by those skilled in the art according to the application and capacity of the battery pack.

[0171] As the electrical device, a secondary battery, battery module, or battery pack can be selected according to its usage requirements.
[0172] Figure 8 This is an example of an electrical device. The device could be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. To meet the high power and high energy density requirements of the secondary battery for this device, a battery pack or battery module can be used.
[0173] Another example device could be a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop. These devices typically require a slim and lightweight design and can use a rechargeable battery as their power source.
[0174] This application also provides a method for preparing a secondary battery. The method includes preparing the positive electrode sheet of the secondary battery through the following steps: forming a positive electrode active material layer on at least one surface of a positive electrode current collector; forming a lithium replenishment layer on the surface of the positive electrode active material layer opposite to the positive electrode current collector, wherein the lithium replenishment layer comprises a positive electrode lithium replenishment material, a conductive agent, and a binder A, wherein the positive electrode lithium replenishment material comprises a lithium-rich metal oxide, and the binder A is selected from a polymer comprising a first monomer unit and a second monomer unit.
[0175]

[0181] In some embodiments, a positive electrode coating can be formed on the surface of the positive electrode current collector, and a lithium replenishment coating can be formed on the positive electrode coating; then, after drying and cold pressing, a positive electrode active material layer and a lithium replenishment layer are formed. In these embodiments, the positive electrode slurry and the lithium replenishment layer slurry can be coated simultaneously in one step or coated in two steps. Optionally, the positive electrode slurry and the lithium replenishment layer slurry can be coated simultaneously in one step. Simultaneous coating in one step can improve the adhesion between the positive electrode active material layer and the lithium replenishment layer.
[0182] Besides the method for preparing the positive electrode sheet of this application, other structures and preparation methods of the secondary battery of this application are known. For example, the negative electrode sheet of this application can be prepared by the following method: dispersing the negative electrode active material, as well as optional conductive agent, optional binder and any other optional components in a solvent (e.g., deionized water) to form a negative electrode slurry; coating the negative electrode slurry onto the negative electrode current collector, and obtaining the negative electrode sheet after drying, cold pressing and other processes.
[0183] In some embodiments, a negative electrode, a positive electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte can be assembled to form a secondary battery. As an example, the positive electrode, separator, and negative electrode can be formed into an electrode assembly through a winding or stacking process; the electrode assembly is placed in an outer package, an electrolyte is injected, and the secondary battery is obtained through processes such as vacuum sealing, settling, formation, and shaping.
[0184] In this application, binder A and binder C can each be a random copolymer. The term "random" means that the comonomers of the random copolymer are randomly distributed within the copolymer in this application. Binder A and binder C are commercially available or can be prepared using conventional polymerization methods in the art. Binder A and binder C can be prepared using similar methods. Taking an exemplary preparation method of binder A as an example, a monomer mixture including a first monomer and a second monomer can be polymerized in the presence of an initiator to obtain binder A.

[0187] As a specific example, the monomer units shown in S1 to S8 can be derived from the monomers shown in m1 to m8 below, respectively.
[0188]
[0189]
[0190] There are no particular limitations on the type of initiator; any conventional choice in the field can be used. For example, the initiator can be one or more of azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride, azobisisobutyramidazole hydrochloride, azobisisobutyramidazole, azobisisopropylimidazoline, etc. There are no particular limitations on the polymerization reaction conditions and the amount of initiator used; they can be selected according to the specific types of monomers and initiators. For example, if the monomer mixture contains a first monomer m1 and a second monomer m5, and the initiator is azobisisobutyronitrile, the amount of initiator used is 0.05–0.15 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the monomer mixture. The polymerization temperature is 25°C–45°C, the polymerization is carried out at atmospheric pressure, and the polymerization time is 2–8 hours.
[0191] In the adhesive A described in this application, the first monomer unit is derived from the first monomer; the second monomer unit is derived from the second monomer.

[0230] Test section
[0231] (1) Initial discharge capacity and cycle life test of secondary battery
[0232] At 25℃, the secondary battery is charged at a constant current rate of 1C to the upper limit cutoff voltage, and then charged at a constant voltage until the current reaches 0.05C. The charging capacity at this point is recorded as the first charge capacity. Next, it is discharged at a constant current rate of 1C to the lower limit cutoff voltage, and then allowed to stand for 5 minutes. This completes one charge-discharge cycle, and the discharge capacity at this point is recorded as the first discharge capacity. The battery is then subjected to charge-discharge tests using the above method, and the discharge capacity of each cycle is recorded until the battery's capacity retention rate decreases to 80%. The number of cycles at this point is the cycle life.
[0233] Initial discharge capacity (mAh / g) = First discharge capacity / Mass of positive electrode active material contained in the battery
[0234] During testing, when the positive electrode active material was LFP, the charge / discharge voltage range of the secondary battery was 2.5V to 3.65V; when the positive electrode active material was NCM811, the charge / discharge voltage range of the secondary battery was 2.8V to 4.25V.
[0235] (2) Bonding strength test of positive electrode sheet
[0236] Take the electrode to be tested (single-sided coating; if double-sided coating, remove the film layer on one side first), and cut a sample with a width of 0.02m and a length of 0.1m. Attach a 0.02m wide and 0.09m long double-sided adhesive tape to a 0.02m wide and 0.2m long steel plate, with one end of the tape flush with one end of the steel plate. Place the electrode sample onto the double-sided tape, ensuring the lithium-supplementing layer adheres to the tape. Use corrugated adhesive to fix a 0.02m wide and 0.15m long paper strip to the current collector surface of the electrode sample. Secure the end of the steel plate without the electrode attached using the lower clamp of a tensile testing machine. Fold the paper strip upwards and secure it with the upper clamp. Turn on the tensile testing machine and perform continuous 180° peeling at a peeling speed of 0.05m / min. Record the maximum tensile force F displayed by the tensile testing machine when the electrode film layer is peeled from the current collector. The bonding strength of the electrode (N / m) = F / width of the electrode sample.
[0237] In the positive electrode bonding strength test of this invention, no peeling occurred between the lithium replenishment layer and the positive electrode active material layer, indicating that the interlayer bonding strength between the lithium replenishment layer and the positive electrode active material layer is high. However, in the peeling test, the lithium replenishment layer using PVDF binder (such as Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 4) peeled off between the lithium replenishment layer and the positive electrode active material layer.
[0238] Table 3: Preparation parameters and test results of Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-6
[0239]
[0240] Based on the above results, it can be seen that in Examples 1 to 17, since a lithium replenishment layer is provided on the surface of the positive electrode active material layer opposite to the positive electrode current collector, the lithium replenishment layer includes a lithium-rich metal oxide lithium replenishment material and a binder A. The binder A is selected from a polymer including a first monomer unit and a second monomer unit. Therefore, the secondary batteries all obtained higher initial discharge capacity and cycle life.
[0241] In contrast, Comparative Examples 1 to 6, due to their failure to meet the requirements of this application, did not achieve an effective improvement in the initial discharge capacity and cycle life of the secondary batteries.
[0242] Table 4: Preparation parameters and test results of Examples 18-20
[0243]
[0244] The results above indicate that using appropriate cathode lithium replenishment materials can further improve the initial discharge capacity and cycle life of the battery.
[0245] Table 5: Preparation parameters and test results of Examples 21-27
[0246]
[0247] Based on the above results, it can be seen that using polymer binder A comprising a first monomer unit and a second monomer unit in the lithium replenishment layer, while using single-crystal particles with an appropriate particle size as the positive electrode lithium replenishment material, helps to improve the compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer, thereby increasing the energy density of the battery. Furthermore, the positive electrode sheet can also achieve higher bonding strength, resulting in higher conductivity and thus improving the battery's cycle life.
