Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon-coated current collector technology, specifically a method for preparing a high-rate carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector for lithium batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in many fields such as automobiles and mobile phones due to their high energy density. The main components of a lithium battery include positive and negative electrode active materials, electrolyte, separator, and positive and negative electrode current collectors. Currently, aluminum foil, copper foil, composite aluminum foil, composite copper foil, and carbon-coated aluminum foil, carbon-coated copper foil, composite carbon-coated aluminum foil, and composite carbon-coated copper foil with improved surfaces are the main materials used to transport electrons. However, traditional aluminum foil or copper foil current collectors have the problem of high interfacial resistance, while carbon-coated current collectors can improve interfacial resistance and improve the charging and discharging of the battery. Existing carbon coating layers can effectively improve the capacity retention rate under normal charging and discharging conditions, but there is still significant capacity decay during high-rate charging and discharging. The carbon-coated current collector of this invention can improve the capacity retention rate of the battery under high-rate charging and discharging. By increasing the cohesion of the electrode material and improving the affinity with the aluminum foil surface, the capacity retention rate is guaranteed under high current.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues and improve the capacity retention rate of current collectors under high current conditions, this invention provides a method for preparing high-rate carbon-coated aluminum foil current collectors for lithium batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a high-rate carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector for lithium batteries, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing a high-rate carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector for lithium batteries includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Take the adhesive, deionized water, and modifier, and stir them evenly to obtain the modified adhesive;

[0008] Step 2: Mix the modified binder, conductive powder, deionized water, and crosslinking agent evenly to obtain a slurry;

[0009] Step 3: Coat the slurry onto the surface of the current collector for lithium batteries and bake to obtain a carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector;

[0010] The slurry comprises the following components, by mass percentage: 10-60% binder, 0.1-2% modifier, 10-30% deionized water, 10-30% conductive powder, and 0.1%-2% crosslinking agent.

[0011] In a more optimized manner, in step one, the adhesive is modified. During the modification process, the adhesive and the modifier are stirred, and deionized water is added at the same time. The stirring speed is 10-40 rpm and the stirring time is 10-30 min.

[0012] Ideally, in step three, the baking temperature is 70-130℃ and the baking time is 20s-3min.

[0013] More preferably, the modifier is any one of dibutyl ester, KH-550, and KH-507.

[0014] More preferably, the crosslinking agent is any one or more of zinc acetate, magnesium acetate, calcium acetate, aziridine, alkoxysilane, and calcium hydroxide.

[0015] More preferably, the adhesive is any one or more of polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion, styrene-butadiene emulsion, polyacrylate adhesive, and polyvinyl acetate adhesive.

[0016] A more optimized method for preparing the polyacrylate adhesive is as follows: take lithium methacrylate and deionized water, stir evenly, add butyl acrylate and hexamethylene diisocyanate, react with nitrogen gas for 30-40 min, add ammonium persulfate, heat to 70-80℃, add butyl acrylate and divinylbenzene, react for 11-13 h to obtain the polyacrylate adhesive.

[0017] Ideally, the conductive powder is any one or more of acetylene black, graphene, and carbon powder.

[0018] More preferably, the conductive powder is graphene loaded with carbon powder, and the preparation method of the graphene loaded with carbon powder includes the following steps:

[0019] S1: Take graphene and acetone, disperse them by ultrasonication, add 1-aminopyrene, stir for 30-40 min, add propyltriethylisocyanate coupling agent, react for 7-9 h, centrifuge, wash and dry to obtain modified graphene.

[0020] S2: Take modified graphene, modified carbon powder, and deionized water, stir evenly, add ammonia water, continue stirring for 50-70 minutes, centrifuge, wash, and dry to obtain graphene loaded with carbon powder.

[0021] In a more optimized manner, the modified toner in S2 is prepared as follows: take tung oil acid and toluene, stir evenly to obtain a mixed solution; take toner and toluene, disperse ultrasonically, add to the mixed solution, heat to 95-100℃, react for 4-5 hours, filter, wash and dry to obtain modified toner.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0023] (1) In this paper, graphene loaded with carbon powder was added to the binder, which increased the specific surface area of ​​graphene, thereby increasing the contact area between the binder and the copper foil and enhancing the interaction between the binder and the current collector. At the same time, the loading of carbon powder can enhance the dispersibility of graphene in the binder and enhance the peel strength of the carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector.

[0024] This invention uses tung oil acid to modify toner. The carboxyl groups on tung oil acid can react with the hydroxyl groups on toner. Furthermore, the unsaturated double bonds on tung oil acid can promote cross-linking, improve the dispersibility of graphene loaded with toner in the binder, strengthen the interaction force, and enhance the peel strength of the carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector.

[0025] This invention uses 1-aminopyrene to modify graphene, and then grafts propyltriethoxysilane isocyanate onto the graphene surface. Through coupling, carbon powder is loaded onto the graphene, and at the same time, the graphene loaded with carbon powder has isocyanate groups.

[0026] Secondly, this invention uses lithium methacrylate and butyl acrylate as monomers to prepare a polyacrylate binder, and adds hexamethylene diisocyanate. The hexamethylene diisocyanate has isocyanate groups, which enhances the compatibility between the binder and the graphene loaded with carbon powder, so that the graphene loaded with carbon powder is evenly dispersed in the polyacrylate binder, which enhances the peel strength of the carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector, improves the capacity retention rate, and thus improves the performance of the battery.

[0027] (2) By modifying the binder, the present invention improves the cohesiveness of the slurry and its contact with the aluminum foil surface, thereby effectively coping with the volume changes caused by lithium ion deintercalation and intercalation at high rates, ensuring the stability of the electrode material during high-rate charging and discharging, and thus improving the performance of the battery.

[0088] Step 3: Preparation of carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector:

[0089] Take 8 kg of polyacrylate binder, 2 kg of deionized water, and 0.1 kg of KH-507 and stir at 50 rpm for 15 min to obtain a modified binder. Mix the modified binder with 2 kg of graphene loaded with carbon powder, 2 kg of deionized water, and 0.02 kg of aziridine and stir for 2.5 h to obtain a slurry. Apply the slurry to one side of an aluminum foil with a thickness of 13 μm using a gravure coating method and bake at 100 °C for 1 min to obtain a carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector with a total thickness of 13.5 μm.

[0090] experiment:

[0091] The performance of carbon-coated aluminum foil current collectors prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was tested. The carbon-coated aluminum foil current collectors were cut into 12cm × 5cm samples using a peel strength tester, and the peel strength of the samples was tested. The carbon-coated aluminum foil was used to make batteries, which were charged at different rates with constant current to 3.65V, then charged with constant voltage at a cutoff current of 0.05C, rested for 15 minutes, and then discharged at different rates to 2.5V with a current range of 5-30A. The capacity retention rate under different rates was tested, and the data are shown in the table below.

[0092] Example 1 750 97.80% 92.51% Example 2 742 97.67% 93.23% Example 3 729 97.55% 93.76% Example 4 733 97.73% 94.21% Example 5 786 97.82% 95.67% Example 6 781 97.84% 95.48% Example 7 784 97.84% 95.62% Comparative Example 1 485 97.81% 71.56% Comparative Example 2 762 97.82% 94.76%

[0093] Conclusion: The data comparison in the table shows that the peel strength and 20C capacity retention of the carbon-coated aluminum foil current collectors in Examples 1 to 3 are superior to those in Comparative Example 1. Examples 1 to 3 use modified crosslinked slurries, significantly improving the peel strength of the carbon coating and exhibiting excellent rate performance during high-rate charge-discharge processes. Examples 5 to 7 use 1-aminopyrene-modified carbon powder, followed by grafting propyltriethoxysilane isocyanate onto the carbon powder surface. This results in isocyanate groups on the graphene loaded with carbon powder, enhancing the compatibility between the binder and the graphene loaded with carbon powder. This ensures uniform dispersion of the graphene loaded with carbon powder in the polyacrylate binder, enhancing the peel strength of the carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector, improving capacity retention, and thus improving battery performance. Comparative Example 2 uses unmodified carbon powder, resulting in poor dispersion of the graphene loaded with carbon powder in the binder, and the peel strength of the carbon-coated aluminum foil current collector is worse than that in Examples 5 to 7.
