Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrochemistry, and particularly relates to a positive electrode sheet, a secondary battery and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, when the positive electrode sheet of the lithium ion battery is prepared, the edge shrinkage or edge bulging of the positive electrode sheet will occur after coating. The edge shrinkage of the positive electrode sheet will affect the measurement of the size parameters of the positive electrode sheet, cause the yield rate to decrease, and also cause the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet to be misaligned, thereby causing the lithium ion battery to have safety problems. The edge bulging of the positive electrode sheet will cause the appearance of the positive electrode sheet to be abnormal, and will cause the lithium ion battery to be too thick. In addition, the edge bulging will cause the positive electrode sheet to be over-pressed during cold pressing, thereby causing the ion conductivity of the over-pressed part to be greatly reduced, the kinetic performance of the over-pressed part of the positive electrode sheet to be poor, and the risk of lithium precipitation to increase. In addition, the edge bulging will also cause the ratio of the local negative electrode capacity to the positive electrode capacity (NP ratio) to decrease, and when the NP ratio is less than 1, the lithium ion battery will cause lithium precipitation.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a positive electrode sheet which can improve the processing problems of the edge shrinkage or edge bulging of the positive electrode sheet during coating. SUMMARY

Along the width direction of the positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode current collector comprises opposite first and second edges. From the first edge to the second edge, the positive electrode material layer comprises an edge region and a main body region in sequence. The width of the edge region is W1 mm, the thickness of the edge region is T1 μm, the width of the main body region is W2 mm, the thickness of the main body region is T2 μm, W1 / W2≤8%, 90%≤T1 / T2≤100%, 18≤T1≤300, and 20≤T2≤300.

When the positive electrode material layer comprises the edge region and the main body region, the ratio of the width of the edge region to the width of the main body region, the thickness of the edge region, the thickness of the main body region, and the ratio of the thickness of the edge region to the thickness of the main body region are within the scope of the present application, and the positive electrode material layer comprises the above-mentioned substances, which can improve the wettability between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, reduce the contact angle between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, and thereby improve the processing problems of the edge shrinkage or edge bulging of the positive electrode sheet during coating.

[0006] In an embodiment of the present application, the organosilicon includes at least one of trisiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, polyoxyethylene ether trisiloxane, or vinyl trimethoxysilane. In an embodiment of the present application, the polyether includes at least one of monoallyl polyether, propylene glycol polyether, methallyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, or lauryl alcohol polyether.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present application, the mass percentage of the ester-based polymer is w1%, 0.05≤w1≤1, based on the mass of the positive electrode material layer. By adjusting the mass percentage of the ester-based polymer within the range of the present application, the ester-based polymer has a suitable mass percentage, which can effectively improve the wettability between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, effectively reduce the contact angle between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, effectively improve the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode sheet during the coating process, and also enable the mass percentage of the positive electrode active material to be relatively high, thereby enabling the secondary battery to have a high energy density.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present application, the positive electrode material layer is separated from the positive electrode current collector to obtain a positive electrode material layer powder, the positive electrode material layer powder is dissolved in N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) to obtain a positive electrode slurry with a solid content of 60% to 80%, the surface tension of the positive electrode slurry is γN / m, the surface tension of the positive electrode current collector is D dyn / cm, and the angle of the edge region is θ, 0≤D-γ×cosθ≤15. The positive electrode material layer is separated from the positive electrode current collector to obtain a positive electrode material layer powder, and the positive electrode material layer powder is dissolved in N-methyl pyrrolidone to obtain a positive electrode slurry with a solid content of 60% to 80%. The surface tension of the positive electrode slurry, the surface tension of the positive electrode current collector, and the angle of the edge region satisfy the above relationship, so that the surface tension of the positive electrode slurry matches the surface tension of the positive electrode current collector, which facilitates the wetting and spreading of the positive electrode slurry on the positive electrode current collector, the wettability between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector is good, the contact angle between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector is small, and the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode sheet during the coating process is effectively improved.

[0010] The positive electrode sheet satisfies the above characteristics, which can improve the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode sheet during the coating process.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present application, the mass percentage of the organic silicon is 10% to 25% and the mass percentage of the polyether is 20% to 30% based on the mass of the ester polymer. By adjusting the mass percentage of the organic silicon and the mass percentage of the polyether within the range of the present application, the ester polymer can have a suitable content of the NMP-phobic group and the NMP-philic group, which is more stable in the arrangement at the interface between the solvent NMP and the air, can further improve the wetting performance between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, further reduce the contact angle between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, and thus further improve the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode sheet during the coating process.

By adjusting the weight average molecular weight of the ester polymer within the range of the present application, the chain segment of the ester polymer can be stretched into NMP, which is beneficial to the dispersion of the ester polymer itself and the auxiliary dispersion of the positive electrode slurry, can further improve the wetting performance between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, further reduce the contact angle between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, and thus further improve the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode sheet during the coating process.

When the positive electrode active material is lithium iron phosphate, the water-based gravure coating method has good coverage effect for coating the conductive slurry on the surface of the positive electrode current collector, which can improve the adhesion between the positive electrode material layer and the positive electrode current collector. When the positive electrode active material is a nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material, lithium manganate or lithium cobaltate, the shrinkage of the positive electrode plate can be reduced, the possibility of misalignment between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate can be reduced, and the safety performance of the secondary battery can be further improved. On the other hand, the surface treatment steps of the positive electrode current collector can be reduced, such as reducing the corona or water washing steps, thereby reducing the production cost of the secondary battery. In addition, the wetting performance between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector can be effectively improved, the contact angle between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector can be effectively reduced, and the processing problems of edge shrinkage or edge drumming of the positive electrode plate during the coating process can be effectively improved.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, 30≤γ≤45. Illustratively, the value of γ can be 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 or a range between any two of the aforementioned values. The mass percentage of the ester-based polymer affects the surface tension of the positive electrode slurry. When the surface tension of the positive electrode slurry is within the aforementioned range, the wettability between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector is better, and the contact angle between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector is smaller, effectively improving the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge bulging of the positive electrode plate during the coating process.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, 5°≤θ≤75°. Illustratively, θ can be 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75° or a range between any two of the aforementioned angles. The positive electrode material layer comprises an organosilicon and a polyether-modified ester-based polymer, and the wettability between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector is better during the coating process. When the angle of the edge region is within the aforementioned range, the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge bulging of the positive electrode plate during the coating process is effectively improved.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, the mass percentage of the organosilicon is 10% to 25% based on the mass of the ester-based polymer. Illustratively, the mass percentage of the organosilicon can be 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25% or a range between any two of the aforementioned values. The mass percentage of the polyether is 20% to 30%. Illustratively, the mass percentage of the polyether can be 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30% or a range between any two of the aforementioned values. By adjusting the mass percentage of the organosilicon and the mass percentage of the polyether within the range of the present application, the ester-based polymer has a suitable content of NMP-repellent groups and NMP-philic groups, which are more stable in the arrangement at the interface between the solvent NMP and the air, further improving the wettability between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, further reducing the contact angle between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, and thus further improving the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge bulging of the positive electrode plate during the coating process.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the weight average molecular weight Mw of the ester polymer is 10000 to 200000. Illustratively, the value of Mw can be 10000, 20000, 40000, 60000, 80000, 100000, 120000, 140000, 160000, 180000, 200000 or a range between any two of the above values. By adjusting the weight average molecular weight of the ester polymer within the range of the present application, the chain segments of the ester polymer can be stretched into NMP, which is beneficial to the dispersion of the ester polymer itself and the auxiliary dispersion of the positive electrode slurry, can further improve the wetting performance between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, further reduce the contact angle between the positive electrode slurry and the positive electrode current collector, and thus further improve the processing problems of edge shrinkage or edge drumming of the positive electrode sheet during the coating process.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, the coating weight of the positive material layer is CW, 100 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 ≤ CW≤ 500 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 . Illustratively, CW can be 100 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 150 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 200 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 250 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 300 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 350 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 400 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 450 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 500 mg / 1540.25 mm 2 or a range between any two of the above values. By adjusting the coating weight of the positive material layer within the range of the present application, the cracking of the positive material layer during the processing process can be reduced; the lithium ion can have a suitable transmission distance and the positive electrode sheet can be well infiltrated, so that the secondary battery has good cycle performance and rate performance; at the same time, the equipment capacity can be met, so that the positive electrode sheet has a high rate during the coating process.

[0045] In one embodiment of this application, the compaction density of the positive electrode material layer is PD g / cc, where 2.0 ≤ PD ≤ 4.0. Exemplarily, the value of PD can be 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, or a range of any two of the above values. By adjusting the compaction density of the positive electrode material layer within the scope of this application, on the one hand, when lithium iron phosphate is used as the positive electrode active material, the embrittlement and powder shedding of the positive electrode material layer can be reduced; when nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary materials, lithium manganese oxide, or lithium cobalt oxide are used as the positive electrode active material, the integrity of the positive electrode active material particles can be better maintained, the occurrence of side reactions can be reduced, and the cycle performance of the secondary battery can be improved; on the other hand, it can also ensure that the positive electrode active material particles and the conductive agent have a suitable contact area, resulting in low contact resistance and improved rate performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, the edge value of the positive electrode sheet is Gμm, and G / T2 ≤ 5%, preferably, G / T2 ≤ 3%. Exemplarily, the value of G / T2 can be 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, or a range of any two of the above values. To facilitate understanding of the edge value of the positive electrode sheet, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the positive electrode sheet's structure in the width and thickness directions is shown. (See attached diagram.) Figure 3 As shown, along the Z direction, the distance between the highest point of the edge region 210 and the highest point of the main body region 220 is the edge value G of the positive electrode sheet. When the value of G / T2 is within the above range, the ratio of the edge value of the positive electrode sheet to the thickness of the main body region is relatively small. This can reduce strip breakage during the coating and cold pressing processes, improve the processing performance of the positive electrode sheet, and also reduce overvoltage at the edge of the positive electrode sheet during cold pressing, giving the edge of the positive electrode sheet better ionic conductivity, thereby improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery and reducing lithium plating.

[0076] Draw lines on the surface of the positive current collector along the tape and its vertical direction with different dyne pens (manufacturer: ACCU), and the straight line does not shrink within 3s to reach this dyne value. Test three times with the same dyne pen, and if the straight line does not shrink within 3s each time, the dyne value is the surface tension of the positive current collector. For the positive current collector in the lithium ion battery, the positive current collector at the tab position is relatively flat, and the lithium ion battery can be disassembled, the welded tab is torn open, and the positive current collector at the tab position is taken for testing.

[0077] Surface tension test of positive electrode slurry:

[0078] Disassemble the lithium ion battery, take out the positive electrode sheet, wash the electrolyte on the positive electrode sheet with DMC solution, dry the positive electrode sheet, and then scrape off the positive electrode material layer powder with a small knife. The surface scanning of the positive electrode material layer powder is carried out by using a scanning electron microscope energy dispersive spectrometer, and the type of the positive electrode active material is obtained according to the obtained element types. According to the solid content given above (if the positive electrode active material is lithium iron phosphate, the solid content of the positive electrode slurry is 60% to 70%; if the positive electrode active material is nickel-cobalt-manganese ternary material, the solid content of the positive electrode slurry is 68% to 78%; if the positive electrode active material is lithium manganate, the solid content of the positive electrode slurry is 65% to 75%; if the positive electrode active material is lithium cobaltate, the solid content of the positive electrode slurry is 70% to 80%), the positive electrode material layer powder is uniformly dispersed into NMP to obtain a positive electrode slurry, and the surface tension of the positive electrode slurry is tested by using a contact angle measuring instrument (model: JC2000CS).

[0129] Table 1

[0130]

[0131] Note: In Table 1, the degree of positive electrode tab edge shrinkage or edge curling from small to large is in turn: slight < general < moderate < severe, wherein "slight" means that the degree of positive electrode tab edge shrinkage or edge curling is relatively light, and the processing performance is good; "severe" means that the degree of positive electrode tab edge shrinkage or edge curling is relatively heavy, and the processing performance is poor, and the same applies to other examples.

[0132] Table 2

[0133]

[0134] As can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-20, Examples 2-1 to 2-7, and Comparative Examples 1 to 2, the positive electrode material layer includes an edge region and a main body region, the ratio of the width of the edge region to the width of the main body region, the thickness of the edge region, the thickness of the main body region, and the ratio of the thickness of the edge region to the thickness of the main body region are within the scope of the present application, the positive electrode material layer includes an ester polymer modified by organic silicon and polyether, and the organic silicon and polyether in the present application are selected, the angle of the edge region of the positive electrode tab is smaller, the value of G / T2 is smaller, and the value of D-γ×cosθ is smaller, the edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode tab is relatively slight, and the processing problem of the edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode tab in the coating process can be effectively improved. In Comparative Example 1, the positive electrode material layer does not include an ester polymer modified by organic silicon and polyether, the angle of the edge region of the positive electrode tab is larger, the value of G / T2 is larger, and the value of D-γ×cosθ is larger, and the processing problem of the edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode tab in the coating process is more serious. As can be seen from Comparative Example 2 and Example 2-1, the positive electrode material layer of Comparative Example 2 includes PVP, the angle of the edge region of the positive electrode tab is larger, the value of G / T2 is larger, and the value of D-γ×cosθ is larger, which indicates that adding an ester polymer modified by organic silicon and polyether to the positive electrode material layer can more effectively improve the processing problem of the edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode tab in the coating process.

[0135] The mass percentage content of the ester polymer can affect the degree of edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode tab in the coating process. As can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-13 and Examples 1-18 to 1-20, by adjusting the mass percentage content of the ester polymer within the scope of the present application, the angle of the edge region of the positive electrode tab is smaller, the value of G / T2 is smaller, and the value of D-γ×cosθ is smaller, the edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode tab is relatively slight, and the processing problem of the edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode tab in the coating process can be effectively improved. The mass percentage content of the ester polymer in Example 1-19 is low, and the effect of improving the edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode tab in the coating process is poor. The addition amount of the ester polymer and the improvement effect show an exponential distribution, the addition amount of the ester polymer is small in the early stage, the improvement effect is obviously improved as the addition amount increases, and the growth rate of the improvement effect decreases when the addition amount continues to increase. The mass percentage content of the ester polymer in Example 1-20 is high, and the effect of improving the edge shrinkage or edge curling of the positive electrode tab in the coating process is good, but the improvement effect is not great compared with Examples 1-1 to 1-13 and Example 1-18; moreover, the mass percentage content of the ester polymer is too high, which can affect the energy density of the lithium ion battery.

[0136] The surface tension of the positive electrode current collector can affect the degree of edge contraction or edge curling of the positive electrode tab during the coating process. As can be seen from Examples 1-11, Examples 1-14 to 1-17, by adjusting the surface tension of the positive electrode current collector within the scope of the present application, the angle of the edge region of the positive electrode tab is smaller, the value of G / T2 is smaller, the value of D-γ×cosθ is smaller, the degree of edge contraction or edge curling of the positive electrode tab is relatively lighter, and the processing problem of edge contraction or edge curling of the positive electrode tab during the coating process can be effectively improved.

[0137] The mass percentage content of the ester polymer can affect the surface tension of the positive electrode slurry. As can be seen from Examples 1-1 to 1-13, Examples 1-18 to 1-20, the mass percentage content of the ester polymer is within the scope of the present application, and thus the surface tension of the positive electrode slurry is within the scope of the present application, the angle of the edge region of the positive electrode tab is smaller, the value of G / T2 is smaller, the value of D-γ×cosθ is smaller, the degree of edge contraction or edge curling of the positive electrode tab is relatively lighter, and the processing problem of edge contraction or edge curling of the positive electrode tab during the coating process can be effectively improved.

[0138] By Figure 4 and Figure 7 It can be seen that, compared with Comparative Example 1, the degree of edge contraction of the positive electrode tab of Example 1-12 during the coating process is slight.

[0139] By Figure 5 and Figure 7 It can be seen that, compared with Comparative Example 1, the degree of edge contraction of the positive electrode tab of Example 1-11 during the coating process is slight.

[0140] By Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that, compared with Comparative Example 1, the degree of edge contraction of the positive electrode tab of Example 1-13 during the coating process is slight.

[0141] By Figure 7 and Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 It can be seen that, compared with Example 1-12, Example 1-11, and Example 1-13, the degree of edge contraction of the positive electrode tab of Comparative Example 1 during the coating process is severe.

[0142] Table 3

[0143]

[0144] Note: In Table 3, the "positive electrode tab edge shrinkage or edge curl degree" in Examples 3-5 is "moderate (edge shrinkage)", which means that the positive electrode tab edge shrinkage degree is moderate and the positive electrode tab edge curl degree is slight, and the same applies to other examples.

[0145] The mass percentage of silicone and the mass percentage of polyether affect the dispersibility of the ester polymer, thereby affecting the edge shrinkage or edge curl degree of the positive electrode tab during coating. As can be seen from Examples 3-1 to 3-9, by adjusting the mass percentage of silicone and the mass percentage of polyether within the scope of the present application, the edge zone angle of the positive electrode tab is smaller, the value of G / T2 is smaller, the value of D-γ×cosθ is smaller, and the edge shrinkage or edge curl degree of the positive electrode tab is relatively slight, which can effectively improve the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge curl of the positive electrode tab during coating.

[0146] The weight average molecular weight of the ester polymer affects the edge shrinkage or edge curl degree of the positive electrode tab during coating. As can be seen from Examples 3-1, 3-10 to 3-13, by adjusting the weight average molecular weight of the ester polymer within the scope of the present application, the edge zone angle of the positive electrode tab is smaller, the value of G / T2 is smaller, the value of D-γ×cosθ is smaller, and the edge shrinkage or edge curl degree of the positive electrode tab is relatively slight, which can effectively improve the processing problem of edge shrinkage or edge curl of the positive electrode tab during coating.

[0147] The coating weight of the positive electrode material layer affects the processing performance of the positive electrode tab, the cycle performance and the rate performance of the lithium ion battery. As can be seen from Examples 3-1, 3-14 and 3-15, by adjusting the coating weight of the positive electrode material layer within the scope of the present application, the edge zone angle of the positive electrode tab is smaller, the value of G / T2 is smaller, the value of D-γ×cosθ is smaller, and the edge shrinkage or edge curl degree of the positive electrode tab is relatively slight.

[0148] The compaction density of the positive electrode material layer affects the processing performance of the positive electrode tab, the cycle performance and the rate performance of the lithium ion battery. As can be seen from Examples 3-1, 3-16 and 3-17, by adjusting the compaction density of the positive electrode material layer within the scope of the present application, the edge zone angle of the positive electrode tab is smaller, the value of G / T2 is smaller, the value of D-γ×cosθ is smaller, and the edge shrinkage or edge curl degree of the positive electrode tab is relatively slight.
