Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium-ion batteries, specifically to an electrode sheet and its preparation method, a lithium-ion battery, and an electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in various fields, including electronic devices and automobiles, due to their lightweight, high energy density, high voltage platform, low self-discharge rate, long cycle life, low environmental pollution, absence of memory effect, and good safety. Especially in 3C electronic products, battery capacity and charge / discharge performance are critical parameters that directly determine battery lifespan and charging efficiency.

[0003] To balance high energy density and super-fast charging, dual-layer coating technology has emerged. However, the graphite content in the upper and lower slurry formulations of dual-layer coating is often difficult to monitor effectively during manufacturing, resulting in significant differences in the content of the upper and lower slurry compared to the design amount. These differences can directly affect the surface tension of the upper and lower slurries, the appearance and uniformity of the coating, the loss of battery capacity, and the deterioration of charge and discharge performance, among other serious problems.

[0004] Given the limitations of existing technologies, there is an urgent need to develop an electrode sheet and its preparation method that can effectively achieve real-time monitoring of the density of upper and lower layers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrode sheet that can monitor the areal density of a double coating layer in real time, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electrode sheet, comprising:

[0008] current collector;

[0009] A first active material coating is applied to at least one surface of the current collector;

[0010] A second active material coating is applied to the surface of the first active material layer;

[0011] Wherein, the projected area of ​​the first active material coating is S1, and the projected area of ​​the second active material coating is S2, wherein S1 and S2 satisfy the relationship: |S1-S2|>0;

[0012] Preferably, |S1-S2|>10.

[0013] The width of the first active material coating is A1, and the width of the second active material coating is A2; where A1 and A2 satisfy the relationship: |A1-A2|>0mm. If A1=A2, the width difference between the upper and lower coating layers cannot be achieved, and when the upper and lower coatings overlap, X-rays or β-rays cannot detect the surface density of the upper or lower layer individually. When X-rays or β-rays penetrate the battery electrode, some rays are absorbed by the electrode. This results in a certain attenuation of the ray intensity after penetrating the electrode relative to the incident ray intensity. The attenuation ratio has a negative exponential relationship with the surface density of the penetrated electrode. By detecting the ray intensity before and after the ray penetrates the electrode in an ionization chamber filled with a special gas, the surface density of the electrode can be calculated. By setting the coating width of the first active material coating and the second active material coating to be different from the forward projected area, the area with the width difference and the forward projected area difference is monitored by X-rays or β-rays and compared with the normal coating area. The difference is calculated to obtain the real-time monitoring surface density values ​​of the first and second active material coatings.

[0014] Preferably, the second active material coating is applied to the middle position of the first active material coating, and a first exposed area and a second exposed area are formed on both sides of the first active material coating, respectively. The area of ​​the first exposed area is B1, and the area of ​​the second exposed area is B2; wherein, B1 = B2; (S1-S2) / 2 = B1.

[0015] Preferably, the porosity of the first active material coating is 10%-20%; the porosity of the second active material coating is 30%-40%. If the porosity is designed to be too high: 1. Reduced battery capacity: When the electrode porosity is too high, the effective active material inside the battery may decrease, leading to a reduction in battery capacity. This is because excessive porosity may mean a reduction in the effective usable area of ​​the electrode material, thus affecting the battery's energy storage capacity. 2. Shortened battery cycle life: Excessive porosity may also lead to a decrease in battery performance during charge-discharge cycles. During cycling, the electrodes expand and contract with the reaction. If the porosity is too high, the deformation of the electrodes may become irreversible, leading to electrode loosening and further affecting battery life. 3. Reduced battery safety: Excessive porosity may also affect battery safety. During battery use, changes in electrode porosity affect the degree of electrode deformation. If the bonding is too loose, it may damage the battery structure, leading to safety hazards such as short circuits and internal short circuits.

[0016] If the porosity is designed too low: 1. Reduced electrolyte wettability and ion transport efficiency: Insufficient porosity limits the electrolyte's wettability range and reduces ion transport efficiency, thus affecting the battery's electrochemical performance. 2. Impact on battery charge / discharge rate and cycle life: Too low porosity may prevent the electrolyte from penetrating the electrode interior, affecting the battery's charge / discharge rate and cycle life. 3. Reduced battery conductivity and diffusion performance: Appropriate porosity promotes electrolyte diffusion within the electrode, improving discharge performance and cycle stability. However, excessively low porosity will reduce these properties.

[0017] Preferably, the compaction density of the first active material coating is 1.80-1.83 g / cm³. 3 The compaction density of the second active material coating is 1.75-1.78 g / cm³. 3 If the electrode compaction density is designed too low: 1. Electrode capacity decreases: Low compaction density increases the voids between electrodes, reducing the electrochemical reaction area and thus decreasing battery capacity. This is because increased voids reduce the effective utilization area of ​​the electrode material, thereby reducing the active sites for electrochemical reactions. 2. Battery lifespan is shortened: Due to low compaction density, the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the battery decreases, leading to a shorter battery life. This is because lithium ions require more time and energy to overcome the resistance of the voids during transport. If the electrode compaction density is designed too high: 1. Battery internal resistance increases: High compaction density reduces the porosity inside the electrode, hindering the movement of electrolyte and ions and increasing the battery's internal resistance. This may lead to increased energy loss during charging and discharging. 2. Discharge performance deteriorates: High compaction density results in insufficient aeration of the electrode, making it difficult for the solution inside the battery to flow and diffuse quickly, thus affecting the battery's discharge performance. Specifically, the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the electrode may slow down, leading to a decrease in discharge capacity.

[0018] Preferably, the areal density of the first active material coating is 44-76 mg / 1540.25 mm. 2 The areal density of the second active material coating is 17-48 mg / 1540.25 mm. 2 This areal density design is suitable for 5C high-power charging products manufactured using a double-layer coating process. If the areal density is too high, the AC internal resistance of the fast-charging lithium-ion battery will increase significantly, thus affecting the battery's capacity retention. If the areal density is too low, the effective utilization area of ​​the electrode material will decrease, thereby reducing the battery's energy density and capacity. Furthermore, this invention also provides a method for preparing an electrode sheet, including the following steps:

[0019] Step S1: Assemble the first gasket and the second gasket at the outlet position of the cavity in the coating device; wherein, the width C1 of the first gasket and the width C2 of the second gasket satisfy the relationship: |C1-C2|>0mm; if C1=C2, the upper and lower coatings overlap, and X-ray or β-ray cannot detect the areal density of the upper or lower layer individually.

[0020] Step S2: Put the first active material coating slurry and the second active material coating slurry into the buffer tank respectively, assemble the buffer tank with the double-layer mold head and perform circulation and degassing;

[0021] Step S3: Apply the first active material coating slurry and the second active material coating slurry to the current collector through a double-layer die, monitor the areal density of the first and second active material coatings in real time, and dry them to obtain the electrode sheet.

[0022] Preferably, in step S3, the method for real-time monitoring of the areal density of the first active material coating and the second active material coating is as follows: an X-ray source or a β-ray source is placed on one side of the prepared electrode sheet, and the intensity of the rays passing through the electrode sheet is measured using a detector. The intensity of the rays after entering and leaving the electrode sheet is obtained, and the attenuation of the X-ray or β-ray passing through the electrode sheet is calculated, thereby obtaining the real-time areal density of the first active material coating and the second active material coating.

[0023] Preferably, in step S3, the formula for calculating the areal density of the first active material coating and the second active material coating is I = I0exp(-λm), where m = 1 / λlog(I0 / I). Where I0 is the weight per unit area of ​​the membrane; I is the intensity of the radiation penetrating the membrane; m is the intensity of the radiation without membrane obstruction; and λ is the absorption coefficient per unit area of ​​the membrane.

[0024] Preferably, when the areal density data measured in step S3 does not match the design value, the flow rate of the slurry in the cavity is controlled by adjusting the micrometer scale so that the areal density of the first active material coating and the second active material coating meets the design value.

[0025] In addition, the present invention also provides a lithium-ion battery comprising the electrode sheet described above.

[0026] In addition, the present invention also provides an electrical device including the lithium-ion battery described above.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0028] (1) The electrode sheet provided by the present invention sets the coating width of the first active material coating and the second active material coating to be different from the forward projection area. The area with the difference in width and the difference in forward projection area is monitored by X-ray or β-ray and compared with the normal coating area. The difference is calculated to obtain the surface density value of the first active material coating and the second active material coating in real time.

[0029] (2) Compared with traditional coating, which only performs electrode sampling tests before, during and after manufacturing or monitors the overall slurry flow rate of the upper and lower layers during the process, the sampling test cannot achieve full process monitoring with a high risk of leakage, and the flow monitoring cannot be converted into real-time areal density data and monitoring of the distribution state of the first active material coating and the second active material coating slurry, the electrode manufacturing method of this application can utilize the size difference between the first and second pads to design and realize the width difference between the first and second active material coatings. The width difference area is used to reflect the real-time areal density of the first and second active material coatings through X-ray or β-ray monitoring instruments and then corrected.

After drying, the electrode sheet is obtained.

The mixture was then coated onto an Al foil, dried, rolled, and slit to obtain the positive electrode sheet.

[0068] Preparation of diaphragm

[0069] Polyethylene (PE) porous polymer film is used as the separator.
