Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a negative electrode sheet and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional lithium-ion batteries have certain safety failure risks during use, for example: (1) Although fast-charging lithium batteries can be charged at high currents to shorten charging time, when the charging current is increased, due to various factors such as temperature, voltage, and current control, increased polarization, etc., lithium ions are not inserted into graphite, but are directly reduced to lithium metal on the surface of the negative electrode, gradually developing into lithium dendrites. As the lithium dendrites grow, they may penetrate the diaphragm and directly contact the positive electrode, thereby causing a short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes and affecting the safety performance of the battery; (2) When due to certain factors When the positive and negative electrodes inside the battery cell are in direct contact and cause a short circuit, a large amount of heat will be released at the short-circuit site, causing the temperature inside the battery cell to rise rapidly. When it reaches a certain temperature threshold, the volume of the diaphragm in the battery will shrink due to thermal shock, making the diaphragm that originally separates the positive and negative electrodes lose its function, thereby causing a larger area of ​​positive and negative electrodes to be short-circuited, continuing to release heat, and the temperature continues to rise. The electrolyte, SEI membrane and other components in the battery decompose at high temperature and produce a large amount of gas, causing the gas pressure in the battery cell to rise rapidly, worsening thermal runaway, and ultimately leading to uncontrolled explosion and fire of the battery cell.

[0003] Although a ceramic powder coating is provided on the surface of the diaphragm, the thermal shrinkage of the diaphragm can be improved to a certain extent, thereby delaying the occurrence of thermal shrinkage and prolonging the time before thermal runaway occurs, the internal short circuit problem still exists, and the risk of thermal runaway caused by internal short circuit cannot be fundamentally avoided. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a negative electrode plate and its preparation method and application to address the above problems; the negative electrode plate can effectively inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites and isolate the contact between the positive and negative electrodes, fundamentally solving the internal short circuit problem, thereby achieving efficient and safe protection of batteries and electrical equipment.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the mass ratio of the metal peroxide to the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode active material layer is 1:140-1:160.

[0016] A method for preparing the negative electrode sheet as described above comprises the following steps:

[0017] Prepare negative electrode slurry and place it on the surface of negative electrode current collector to form a negative electrode slurry layer;

[0018] The heat-expandable high molecular polymer powder, metal peroxide powder and conductive glue are mixed and placed on the surface of the negative electrode slurry layer, and the negative electrode plate is obtained after drying and pressing.

[0019] A battery comprises the negative electrode sheet as described above, wherein the protective layer in the negative electrode sheet faces the positive electrode sheet.

[0020] An electrical device comprises the battery as described above.

[0021] The negative electrode plate described in the present invention, by providing a protective layer on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer, utilizes the synergistic effect of the heat-expandable high molecular polymer and the metal peroxide in the protective layer, on the one hand, oxidizes the lithium metal on the surface of the negative electrode to avoid the lithium metal from forming lithium dendrites, thereby achieving intrinsic safety protection, and can also oxidize the strong reducing gas in the early stage of SEI film decomposition, which is beneficial to further enhance the intrinsic safety of the electrode structure; on the other hand, not only the high temperature resistance is improved, but also the volume expansion can be generated at high temperature, effectively avoiding direct contact between the positive and negative electrodes, even if the separator in the battery is heated and the volume shrinks, it will not cause the positive and negative electrodes short circuit problem, at the same time, during the expansion process, air pressure and capillary action are generated inside the heat-expandable high molecular polymer, and free electrolyte can be adsorbed into the expanded heat-expandable high molecular polymer, thereby avoiding electrolyte combustion, reducing the risk of thermal runaway, and improving battery safety.

[0022] Therefore, the negative electrode plate provided by the present invention can effectively inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites and isolate the contact between the positive and negative electrodes, fundamentally solving the internal short circuit problem, thereby achieving efficient and safe protection of batteries and electrical equipment.

However, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments or examples described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments or examples is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention.

[0094] Comparative Example 1

[0098] Comparative Example 3

[0099] The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that an equal amount of silicon dioxide is used instead of sodium peroxide.

[0100] Comparative Example 4

[0101] The difference between Comparative Example 4 and Example 1 is that an equal amount of sodium hypochlorite is used instead of sodium peroxide.

[0102] Comparative Example 5

[0103] The difference between Comparative Example 5 and Example 1 is that an equal amount of sodium persulfate is used instead of sodium peroxide.

[0104] The negative electrode sheets prepared in Examples 1 to 10 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0105] Table 1

[0106]

[0107] The negative electrode sheets prepared in Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were assembled with the positive electrode sheets (lithium iron phosphate), a 12 μm PE separator, and a commercially purchased electrolyte into soft-pack cells: the positive electrode sheets, the negative electrode sheets, and the separator were made into bare cells by winding, packaged with aluminum-plastic film, injected with electrolyte, and packaged into soft-pack cells after formation, and safety tests and DC internal resistance tests were carried out. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0108] (1) Safety test: 10 soft-pack batteries were prepared, 5 of which were subjected to needle puncture test and 5 were subjected to interface lithium deposition analysis after 100 cycles of 3C charging.

[0109] (2) DC internal resistance test: Measure the DC internal resistance of 10 battery cells and take the average value.

[0110] Table 2

[0111]

[0112] In combination with Table 1 and Table 2, by comparing Examples 1 to 5, it can be seen that when the thickness of the coating protective layer is low, when a short circuit occurs, the effect of the protective layer in isolating the positive and negative electrodes is weakened; when the thickness of the coating protective layer is high, it can play a better role in preventing internal short circuits, but at the same time it will increase the DC internal resistance of the battery cell and reduce the fast charging performance of the battery cell. Therefore, by adjusting the coating thickness so that the thickness of the protective layer is 5%-15% of the thickness of the negative electrode active material layer, it can not only achieve the protection of preventing direct contact between the positive and negative electrodes, but also ensure that the DC internal resistance is low, so that the battery has a large current fast charging capability.

[0113] By comparing Examples 1 to 3 and Examples 6 and 7, it can be seen that when the content of sodium peroxide in the protective layer is low, the inhibitory effect on fast charging and lithium deposition is weakened; when the content of sodium peroxide in the protective layer is high, the inhibitory effect on fast charging and lithium deposition is better, but at the same time, excessive sodium peroxide will increase the DC internal resistance of the battery cell and reduce the fast charging performance of the battery cell. Therefore, by adjusting the sodium peroxide content in the protective layer to 15%-30%, both the inhibition of fast charging and lithium deposition can be achieved and a lower DC internal resistance of the battery cell can be achieved.

[0114] According to Table 2, the negative electrode plates prepared in Examples 1 to 10 have good effects in preventing the internal short circuit from developing into thermal runaway and fast charging and lithium precipitation, and improve the safety performance of the battery. However, in Comparative Example 1, the protective layer was not coated, and 100% of the battery cells failed the safety test, and the lithium precipitation rate was as high as about 80%; the protective layers of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 used ceramic materials, and the ceramic materials could not achieve the function of isolating the positive and negative electrodes under the condition of acupuncture, and 100% of the battery cells failed the safety test; the protective layers of Comparative Examples 4 and 5 used different oxides, and different metal peroxides had different effects on the inhibition of fast charging and lithium precipitation, and also affected the DC internal resistance of the battery cells, and thus affected the fast charging performance, among which sodium peroxide had a better inhibitory effect on fast charging and lithium precipitation than sodium hypochlorite and sodium persulfate, and the DC internal resistance of the battery cells using sodium peroxide was less than the DC internal resistance of the battery cells using sodium persulfate and sodium hypochlorite. In summary, the present invention has the best effect in terms of inhibition of fast charging and lithium precipitation and low DC internal resistance.
