Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer compound technology, and more specifically, to an aqueous polyurethane adhesive, its preparation method, and its application in new energy batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, electric vehicles (EVs), lacking engines and transmission systems, offer significant weight advantages when combined with high-strength steel, aluminum alloys, and plastic composite materials. Furthermore, the absence of combustion and the substantial energy consumption during transmission greatly enhances their energy efficiency. New energy batteries are the key energy storage component in EVs, primarily including lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Currently, commercially available lithium-ion battery anode materials mainly consist of carbon materials, primarily graphite-based, and non-carbon materials, primarily silicon-based. Non-carbon materials, primarily silicon-based, have a higher theoretical specific capacity and are more suitable for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. However, in practical applications, it has been found that silicon-based anode materials experience severe volume expansion during lithium insertion / extraction, leading not only to electrochemical performance degradation but also to silicon particle cracking and pulverization, severely impacting the cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] To suppress the volume expansion of silicon-based anode materials during cycling, current methods mainly focus on the morphological structure design of the silicon-based anode materials (controlling particle size, surface modification, etc.) and the selection of highly elastic polymer binders. For example, existing technologies disclose a binder and a battery containing this binder, which uses acrylic polymers to form a three-dimensional network structure framework. The framework is connected by hydrogen bonds with polyurethane ternary polymers. The three-dimensional network structure and abundant hydrogen bonds provide good toughness and self-healing ability, but the effect of suppressing the volume expansion of silicon-based anode materials is limited, resulting in poor battery cycle performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects or deficiencies of existing polyurethane anode binders in effectively suppressing the volume expansion of silicon anode materials, and to provide a method for preparing a waterborne polyurethane binder.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a waterborne polyurethane adhesive.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide an application of a waterborne polyurethane adhesive in new energy batteries.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a negative electrode slurry.

[0008] Another objective of this invention is to provide a negative electrode sheet.

[0009] The above-mentioned objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] This invention protects a method for preparing a waterborne polyurethane adhesive, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0011] A polyurethane prepolymer modified with polysaccharides or their derivatives is mixed with at least one of organic acids or their derivatives containing carbon-carbon double bonds, and undergoes a free radical polymerization reaction under the action of an initiator to obtain an aqueous polyurethane adhesive.

[0012] The polysaccharide- or derivative-modified polyurethane prepolymer is obtained by reacting polysaccharide or derivative with isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer via the reaction of hydroxyl groups and isocyanate groups.

[0013] This invention utilizes the reaction of hydroxyl groups in polysaccharides or their derivatives with isocyanate groups in polyurethane prepolymers to form a modified polyurethane prepolymer with a network structure. Under the action of an initiator, organic acids containing carbon-carbon double bonds or their derivatives undergo free polymerization with the modified polyurethane prepolymer to form an aqueous polyurethane binder with a rich cross-linked structure. The combination of isocyanate hard segments and polyether polyol soft segments in the polyurethane prepolymer forms a supporting framework that provides the necessary mechanical properties, toughness, and elasticity. Simultaneously, the reaction of hydroxyl groups in polysaccharides or their derivatives with isocyanate groups connects different polyurethane prepolymer segments to form a network structure, which then freely polymerizes with organic acids containing carbon-carbon double bonds or their derivatives to form a three-dimensional interpenetrating network structure. This effectively suppresses the volume expansion of silicon-based anode materials during charge and discharge, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0014] Moreover, since polysaccharides or their derivatives contain abundant hydroxyl groups, a large number of hydroxyl groups remain after reacting with isocyanate groups. These hydroxyl groups, in combination with carboxyl groups in organic acids, can not only improve the water solubility and adhesion of waterborne polyurethane binders, but also form a large number of hydrogen bonds with amino groups (-NH-) in polyurethane segments. This allows water-soluble polyurethane binders to better adapt to volume changes while suppressing the volume expansion of the negative electrode material, thereby significantly improving the stability of the electrolytic structure.

[0015] In addition, the polysaccharide or its derivative-modified polyurethane prepolymer is obtained by reacting polysaccharide or its derivative with isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer through the reaction of hydroxyl groups and isocyanate groups.

[0016] The isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer can be a polyurethane prepolymer with one end of the molecular chain terminated by isocyanate, or a polyurethane prepolymer with both ends of the molecule terminated by isocyanate. Specifically, the polysaccharide-modified polyurethane prepolymer or its derivative is obtained by reacting the polysaccharide or its derivative with an isocyanate-terminated (-N=C=O) polyurethane prepolymer.

[0017] Optionally, the temperature of the above free radical polymerization reaction is 70-85℃ and the time is 2-4h; specifically, the temperature can be 72℃, 74℃, 76℃, 78℃, 80℃, 82℃ or 84℃, and the time can be 2.5h, 3h or 3.5h.

[0018] Optionally, the polysaccharide-modified polyurethane prepolymer is obtained by reacting the polysaccharide or its derivative with an isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer at 60–75°C for 2–5 h.

[0019] Specifically, the above-mentioned isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer can be prepared by the following method:

[0020] In an inert gas atmosphere, diisocyanate and polyether polyol are reacted at 60–75°C for 2–5 hours to obtain isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer.

[0021] The molar ratio of isocyanate groups to hydroxyl groups in the above diisocyanate is >1, to ensure that an excess of isocyanate groups forms an isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer.

[0022] Optionally, the polyether polyol is polypropylene glycol and / or polytetrahydrofuran glycol, and the molecular weight of the polyether polyol is 1000-3000 g / mol, specifically 1500 g / mol, 2000 g / mol or 2500 g / mol.

[0023] Optionally, the molar mass ratio of the diisocyanate, polyether polyol, polysaccharide or its derivative, to the organic acid containing carbon-carbon double bonds is (0.007-0.015) mol: (0.007-0.015) mol: (10-20) g: (0.03-0.07) mol.

[0024] Specifically, the diisocyanate can be 0.008 mol, 0.009 mol, 0.01 mol, 0.011 mol, 0.012 mol, 0.013 mol, or 0.014 mol; the polyether polyol can be 0.008 mol, 0.009 mol, 0.01 mol, 0.011 mol, 0.012 mol, 0.013 mol, or 0.014 mol; the polysaccharide or its derivative can be 11 g, 12 g, 13 g, 14 g, 15 g, 16 g, 17 g, 18 g, or 19 g; and the organic acid containing carbon-carbon double bonds can be 0.04 mol, 0.05 mol, or 0.06 mol.

[0025] Specifically, the polysaccharide or its derivative is at least one selected from guar gum, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, mannan, chitosan, or carrageenan. Optionally, the molecular weight of the polysaccharide or its derivative is 1000–3000 g / mol, specifically 1000 g / mol, 1500 g / mol, 2000 g / mol, or 2500 g / mol.

[0026] It should also be noted that the molecular weights of the aforementioned polyether polyols, polysaccharides, or their derivatives are generally number-average molecular weights as understood by those skilled in the art.

[0027] Optionally, the organic acid containing a carbon-carbon double bond or its derivative is at least one of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, sodium allyl sulfonate, 3-methacrylic acid sulfonate, styrene sulfonic acid, allyl vinyl sulfonate, 2-methyl-2-propene-1-sulfonic acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl (meth)acrylic acid, 3-hydroxy-1-adamantyl (meth)acrylic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanediol mono (meth)acrylic acid, glycerol monomethacrylate, triallyl phosphate, 3-sulfonate propyl methacrylic acid, diphenyl-2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl phosphate, dibutyl-2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl phosphate, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate, or monomethyl-2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl phosphate.

[0028] Specifically, the isocyanate is one or more of toluene diisocyanate, 4,4'-methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate), dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, 4,4-diisocyanate dicyclohexylmethane, isophorone diisocyanate, bio-based 1,5-pentane diisocyanate, or bio-based L-lysine diisocyanate; the polyol is one or more of polypropylene oxide glycol (PPG), polytetrahydrofuran glycol (PTMG), or tetrahydrofuran-propylene oxide copolydiol.

[0029] In addition, the initiator in the above preparation method is one or more of cerium ammonium nitrate, potassium persulfate, potassium permanganate, or ammonium persulfate; the mass fraction of the initiator relative to the polymer monomer is 0.1% to 5%.

[0030] A waterborne polyurethane adhesive prepared by the above method is also within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0031] This invention also protects the application of the above-mentioned waterborne polyurethane adhesive in new energy batteries.

[0032] This invention protects a negative electrode slurry comprising the aforementioned aqueous polyurethane binder, active material, and conductive agent. Specifically, the conductive agent is one or more of single-walled carbon nanotubes, graphene, conductive graphite, conductive carbon black, Ketjen black, or carbon fiber; the active material is a silicon-based material, or a mixture of carbon-based and silicon-based materials; the silicon-based material is monocrystalline silicon or silicon oxide.

[0033] The present invention also protects a negative electrode sheet comprising a current collector and a negative electrode material coated on at least one side of the current collector, the negative electrode material being obtained by drying the aforementioned negative electrode slurry.

[0034] Furthermore, this invention also protects a lithium-ion or sodium-ion battery comprising a positive electrode, an electrolyte, and the aforementioned negative electrode.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] This invention utilizes the reaction of hydroxyl groups in polysaccharides or their derivatives with isocyanate groups in polyurethane prepolymers to form a modified polyurethane prepolymer with a network structure. Under the action of an initiator, organic acids containing carbon-carbon double bonds or their derivatives undergo free polymerization with the modified polyurethane prepolymer to form an aqueous polyurethane binder with a rich cross-linked structure. The combination of isocyanate hard segments and polyether polyol soft segments in the polyurethane prepolymer forms a supporting skeleton that provides the necessary mechanical properties, toughness, and elasticity. Simultaneously, the reaction of hydroxyl groups in polysaccharides or their derivatives with isocyanate groups connects different polyurethane prepolymer segments to form a network structure, which then freely polymerizes with organic acids containing carbon-carbon double bonds or their derivatives to form a three-dimensional interpenetrating network structure. This effectively suppresses the volume expansion of silicon-based anode materials during charge and discharge, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery. Attached Figure Description
