Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries, and particularly to a negative electrode binder, a negative electrode coating composition, a negative electrode sheet and a lithium-ion battery. Background Art

[0002] As a highly potential rechargeable battery, lithium-ion secondary batteries are widely popular in the market. This kind of battery is favored for its high energy density, long life, small size, maintenance-free and environmental protection characteristics. Initially applied to mobile phones and laptop computers, it has now been extended to the fields of electric bicycles, electric vehicles, energy storage systems and various portable electronic devices, becoming an ideal mobile power solution.

[0003] The basic structure of a lithium-ion secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, an electrolyte and a battery case. In currently commercialized lithium-ion batteries, the negative electrode material mostly uses graphite or carbon materials synthesized based on graphite. Commonly used negative electrode binders include carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and polyacrylic acid (PAA). Among them, the main function of CMC is to stabilize the dispersion system and adjust the viscosity; SBR provides flexibility and adhesion, and the two are usually used in combination to achieve the best effect. As another negative electrode binder, PAA is usually used in combination with CMC and SBR, which helps to improve the peel strength and other performance indicators of the battery electrode sheet.

[0004] Currently, the PAA negative electrode binder on the market is usually provided in the form of an aqueous solution with a solid content of 5%-10%, and its viscosity is generally above 3000 mPa·s. A higher PAA solid content will lead to too high viscosity, which not only increases the complexity of the manufacturing process, but also may cause difficulties in the coating process. In addition, a lower solid content also means that more solvents are needed for dilution, which not only increases the production and transportation costs, but also has an adverse impact on the environment. Therefore, developing a more efficient powder-like PAA binder with excellent comprehensive performance is of great significance for improving the overall performance of lithium-ion secondary batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a negative electrode binder, a negative electrode coating composition, a negative electrode sheet and a lithium-ion battery, using the negative electrode binder and the negative electrode coating composition, negative electrode sheet and lithium-ion battery prepared with this binder. This binder shows unique performance advantages in the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries, and can simultaneously provide various functions such as dispersion, suspension, thickening power and adhesion superior to carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), thus simplifying the production process, reducing the amount of binder used, and improving the overall performance of the battery.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a negative electrode binder, which is obtained by polymerizing an acrylic monomer, a cyanide group-containing polymerizable monomer, a polyether monomer, and a polymerizable double bond monomer;

[0007] Among them, the cyanide group-containing polymerizable monomer is selected from monomers containing vinyl and cyanide groups with 3 to 10 carbon atoms;

[0008] The polyether monomer is selected from at least one of polyethylene oxide with a polymerizable double bond, polypropylene oxide with a polymerizable double bond, or an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymer with a polymerizable double bond;

[0009] The polymerizable double bond monomer includes at least one of acrylate monomers with two or more polymerizable double bonds, methacrylate monomers with two or more polymerizable double bonds, and allyl monomers with two or more polymerizable double bonds.

[0010] In the present invention, the acrylic monomer serves as the basic monomer to provide the basic binding performance of the binder; the cyanide group-containing polymerizable monomer is selected from monomers containing vinyl and cyanide groups with 3 to 10 carbon atoms and is used to improve the binding force of the binder; the polyether monomer is used to increase the flexibility of the binder; the polymerizable double bond monomer is used as a crosslinking agent to adjust the viscosity of the binder. Among them, introducing the cyanide group-containing polymerizable monomer can significantly improve the binding force of the binder because after polymerization of monomers containing vinyl and cyanide groups with 3 to 10 carbon atoms, the intermolecular interaction force can be enhanced, thereby improving the adhesion ability between the binder and the active material; by introducing the polyether monomer, the flexibility of the binder can be effectively increased. This flexibility is particularly important for the electrode sheet that undergoes various processing steps (such as rolling, slicing, and winding) during battery manufacturing, and can effectively prevent the phenomena of powder falling or fracture; the polymerizable double bond monomer containing two or more polymerizable double bonds is used as a crosslinking agent to adjust the viscosity of the binder to be within a reasonable range, which is crucial for preparing the negative electrode sheet because it ensures the uniformity and stability of the electrode sheet during the manufacturing process.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of the acrylic monomer, the cyanide group-containing polymerizable monomer, the polyether monomer, and the polymerizable double bond monomer is (66~98):(3~10):(3~10):(0.5~2). More preferably, it is (69~90):(5~8):(5~8):(0.8~1.6). In the present invention, the mass ratio of the above-mentioned monomers is the ratio of the masses to each other, not the percentage content ratio.

[0012] Preferably, the acrylic monomer can be various acrylic monomers commonly used in the art. For example, it can be at least one of C1-C18 alkyl monoesters of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, β-(acryloyloxy) propionic acid, itaconic acid, citraconic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, crotonic acid, and aconitic acid, C1-C18 alkyl monoesters of maleic acid, C1-C18 alkyl monoesters of fumaric acid, C1-C18 alkyl monoesters of itaconic acid, and C1-C18 alkyl monoesters of aconitic acid.

The acrylate functional group can provide good adhesion and flexibility; the methacrylate functional group is similar to the acrylate, but has an additional methyl group substituting a hydrogen atom of the vinyl group, which results in the methacrylate being more hydrolysis-resistant than the acrylate and also having higher thermal stability. The allyl ether functional group also has a vinyl double bond and can participate in the free radical polymerization reaction. The allyl ether functional group can improve the reactivity of the polymer and, in some cases, can also provide good weather resistance and chemical resistance; the methallyl ether functional group is similar to the allyl ether but has an additional methyl substituent, which can improve its mechanical properties and thermal stability.

Its preparation method can be a conventional double-bond polymerization method. Preferably, the specific steps for preparing the negative electrode binder include adding the raw materials of the first aspect and a reaction solvent into a reaction flask, purging with nitrogen and heating up. After the temperature reaches the reaction temperature, an initiator is added for polymerization reaction, and the reaction is continued while maintaining the temperature until the end. After filtration and drying, a binder powder is obtained.

[0026] Among them, the reaction solvent is selected from a mixture composed of one or more organic solvents and one or more hydrocarbon solvents. The organic solvents include ketones, esters, ethers, and saturated alcohols, preferably alkyl acetates with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably alkyl acetates with 2 to 4 carbon atoms, including ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, and butyl acetate.

Preferably, the negative electrode coating composition further includes a styrene-butadiene rubber binder. More preferably, the mass ratio of the negative electrode binder to the styrene-butadiene rubber binder is 0.5 - 1.5:0.5 - 1.5.
