Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of secondary batteries, and in particular to a negative electrode plate, a secondary battery and an electrical device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, secondary batteries have been widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal, wind and solar power stations, as well as in power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields.

[0003] The performance of the negative electrode sheet has a key impact on the performance of the secondary battery. At present, the negative electrode sheet has many defects and cannot meet the application needs of the new generation of electrochemical systems. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a negative electrode plate, in which the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is less than 1.4, thereby reducing the degree of aggregation of the binder in the first region, which is beneficial to reducing the DC impedance of the battery and improving the electrical performance of the battery.

[0005] A first aspect of the present application provides a negative electrode plate, the negative electrode plate comprising a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer located on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode film layer comprising a binder;

[0006] The negative electrode film layer includes a first region and a second region, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 0.1 to 1.4, the first region is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer away from the negative electrode current collector extends to the inside of the negative electrode film layer within a distance of h / 2, and the second region is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer close to the negative electrode current collector extends to the first region within a distance of h / 2, h represents the thickness of the negative electrode film layer, and the negative electrode pole piece is a negative electrode pole piece after laser heating treatment. By using laser heating to treat the negative electrode sheet, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region can be controlled to be 0.1-1.4, so as to reduce the aggregation degree of the binder in the first region, and then reduce the coating of the binder on the negative electrode active material in the first region, so that the metal ions in the secondary battery can be better embedded and removed from the negative electrode sheet, improve the kinetic performance of the battery, reduce the DC impedance of the battery, and enhance the cycle performance of the battery. For example, in a lithium secondary battery, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is controlled to be 0.1-1.4, which is conducive to the embedding and removal of lithium ions in the negative electrode sheet, improves the kinetic performance of the lithium secondary battery, reduces its DC impedance, and thus improves the lithium precipitation window on the surface of the negative electrode sheet. In addition, laser heating is low in cost, simple and easy to operate, and will not add too much economic and labor costs to the production process.

[0007] In any embodiment, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 0.6-1.

[0008] The mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is further controlled to be 0.6 to 1, which greatly reduces the aggregation of the binder in the first region, can further take into account the bonding performance of the negative electrode sheet and the DC impedance of the battery, and comprehensively improve the cycle performance of the battery.

[0009] In any embodiment, the binder includes a water-based binder, and the water-based binder includes one or more of styrene-butadiene rubber, polyamide, poly(acrylonitrile-acrylate), polyacrylate, and poly(styrene-acrylate); optionally, the water-based binder includes styrene-butadiene rubber.

[0010] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the negative electrode film layer, the mass content of the binder in the first region is 0.18% to 2%, optionally 0.3% to 1%, and the mass content of the binder in the second region is 0.32% to 3%, optionally 0.7% to 2%.

[0011] In any embodiment, based on the total mass of the negative electrode film layer, the sum of the mass contents of the binder in the first region and the binder in the second region is 0.5% to 5%, and may be 1% to 3%.

[0012] Controlling the mass content of the binder in the first region within a suitable range can not only make the battery have a lower DC impedance, but also bind the negative electrode active material to maintain the shape of the negative electrode plate; controlling the mass content of the binder in the second region within a suitable range can not only make the negative electrode plate have excellent bonding performance, but also control the impact of the introduction of the binder on the DC impedance of the battery.

[0013] In any embodiment, the negative electrode film layer further includes a negative electrode active material, and the negative electrode active material includes one or more of artificial graphite, natural graphite, soft carbon, hard carbon, silicon-carbon composite, lithium titanate, and silicon-oxygen composite.

[0014] The second aspect of the present application also provides a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet, comprising:

[0015] Preparing a negative electrode film layer on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector to obtain a negative electrode sheet;

[0016] The negative electrode sheet is subjected to laser heating treatment to obtain the negative electrode sheet after the laser heating treatment;

[0017] Among them, the negative electrode film layer after laser heating treatment includes a first region and a second region, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 0.1 to 1.4, the first region is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer away from the negative electrode current collector extends to the inside of the negative electrode film layer within a distance of h / 2, and the second region is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer close to the negative electrode current collector extends to the first region within a distance of h / 2, and h represents the thickness of the negative electrode film layer. By using laser heating to treat the negative electrode sheet, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region can be controlled to be 0.1-1.4, so as to reduce the aggregation degree of the binder in the first region, and then reduce the coating of the binder on the negative electrode active material in the first region, so that the metal ions in the secondary battery can be better embedded and removed from the negative electrode sheet, improve the kinetic performance of the battery, reduce the DC impedance of the battery, and enhance the cycle performance of the battery. For example, in a lithium secondary battery, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is controlled to be 0.1-1.4, which is conducive to the embedding and removal of lithium ions in the negative electrode sheet, improves the kinetic performance of the lithium secondary battery, reduces its DC impedance, and thus improves the lithium precipitation window on the surface of the negative electrode sheet. In addition, laser heating is low in cost, simple and easy to operate, and will not add too much economic and labor costs to the production process.

[0018] In any embodiment, before the laser heating treatment of the negative electrode sheet, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 1.5-10.

[0019] Before the negative electrode plate is treated with laser heating, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 1.5 to 10. Due to the aggregation of the binder in the first region, the DC impedance of the battery is increased, affecting the electrical performance of the battery. After the negative electrode plate is treated with laser heating, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region can be made 0.1 to 1.4, which significantly reduces the aggregation of the binder in the first region, reduces the DC impedance of the battery, and improves the performance of the battery.

[0020] In any embodiment, the laser heating treatment of the negative electrode plate comprises:

[0021] The negative electrode piece is placed on one side of a laser emitting laser and moved;

[0022] The surface of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector is irradiated with laser.

[0023] The surface of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector is irradiated with laser to rapidly increase the temperature of the surface of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector, thereby removing part of the binder in the first region. At the same time, the negative electrode sheet is controlled to move at a uniform speed on one side of the laser to reduce the influence of the excessively high surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet on the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode sheet.

[0024] In any embodiment, when the negative electrode plate is treated by laser heating, the power P of the laser and the moving speed V of the negative electrode plate satisfy: 0.012<P / V≤0.15, which can be 0.02≤P / V≤0.125.

[0025] The power P of the laser is controlled to satisfy the above relationship with the moving speed V of the negative electrode plate, so that the surface of the negative electrode plate away from the negative electrode collector has a suitable temperature, thereby effectively removing part of the binder in the first region, and then making the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region 0.1 to 1.4, thereby reducing the DC impedance of the battery and improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0026] In any embodiment, when the negative electrode plate is treated by laser heating, the power P of the laser is 1000W to 10000W, and can be optionally 3000W to 8000W.

[0027] In any embodiment, when the negative electrode plate is subjected to laser heating, the moving speed V of the negative electrode plate is 10 m / min to 180 m / min, and can be optionally 20 m / min to 150 m / min.

[0028] In any embodiment, when the negative electrode plate is subjected to the laser heating treatment, the surface temperature T of the negative electrode plate on the side away from the negative electrode current collector is 300° C. to 700° C., and can be optionally 400° C. to 700° C.

[0029] By controlling the laser power P, the moving speed V of the negative electrode plate or the surface temperature T of the negative electrode plate on the side away from the negative electrode current collector within a suitable range, part of the binder in the first region can be removed so that the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is reduced to 0.1-1.4, and the influence of laser heating on the negative electrode active material can be reduced.

[0030] In any embodiment, the specific steps include:

[0031] Uniformly mixing raw materials including negative electrode active materials and binders with deionized water to prepare negative electrode slurry, coating the negative electrode slurry on a negative electrode current collector to prepare the negative electrode film layer, and obtaining the negative electrode sheet; optionally, the raw materials further include sodium carboxymethyl cellulose;

[0032] The negative electrode piece is placed on one side of a laser emitting laser and moved;

[0033] The surface of the negative electrode plate away from the negative electrode current collector is irradiated with laser to obtain the negative electrode plate after the laser heating treatment.

[0034] The mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region of the negative electrode plate after laser heating treatment is 0.1 to 1.4, which can effectively reduce the aggregation of the binder in the first region, reduce the DC impedance of the battery, and improve the performance of the battery.

[0035] In any embodiment, the preparation method further comprises a compaction treatment step, and the compaction treatment step is performed before or after the negative electrode sheet is subjected to the laser heating treatment.

[0036] In any embodiment, the preparation method further comprises a die-cutting process step, wherein the die-cutting process step is performed after the compacting process step, and the die-cutting process step is performed before or after the negative electrode sheet is subjected to the laser heating process.

[0037] The step of laser heating the negative electrode plate can be before or after the compaction step or the die-cutting step, and can ensure that after the laser heating treatment, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region of the negative electrode plate is 0.1 to 1.4.

[0052] Unless otherwise specified, all embodiments and optional embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0053] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and optional technical features of this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0054] If there is no special explanation, all steps of the present application can be performed sequentially or randomly, preferably sequentially. For example, the method includes steps (a) and (b), which means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed sequentially, or may include steps (b) and (a) performed sequentially. For example, the method may further include step (c), which means that step (c) may be added to the method in any order.

Since the styrene butadiene rubber binder is concentrated on the side of the negative electrode plate away from the negative electrode current collector, the impedance increases, affecting the electrical performance of the battery. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new negative electrode plate so that the battery can meet the needs of the new generation of electrochemical systems.

[0059] Based on this, the present application proposes a negative electrode plate, the negative electrode plate comprising a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer located on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode film layer comprising a binder;

[0064] In some embodiments, the negative electrode film layer may optionally include other additives, such as a thickener (eg, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na)).

[0065] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer located on one side of the negative electrode current collector. Figure 1 As shown in (a), the negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector 502 and a negative electrode film layer 501 located on one side of the negative electrode current collector 502, and the negative electrode film layer includes a first region 5011 and a second region 5012, the first region 5011 is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer 501 on one side away from the negative electrode current collector 502 extends toward the inside of the negative electrode film layer 501 within a distance of h / 2, and the second region 5012 is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer 501 on one side close to the negative electrode current collector 502 extends toward the first region 5011 within a distance of h / 2.

[0066] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer located on opposite sides of the negative electrode current collector. Figure 1 As shown in (b), the negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode current collector 502 and a negative electrode film layer 501 located on opposite sides of the negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode film layer 501 includes a first region 5011 and a second region 5012, the first region 5011 is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer 501 on one side away from the negative electrode current collector 502 extends toward the inside of the negative electrode film layer 501 within a distance of h / 2, and the second region 5012 is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer 501 on one side close to the negative electrode current collector 502 extends toward the first region 5011 within a distance of h / 2.

[0068] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region may be selected as 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, or a value in a range consisting of any two of the above points.

[0069] As used herein, the term "aqueous binder" refers to a binder dispersed in water using water as a dispersant, including but not limited to styrene-butadiene rubber, polyamide, poly(acrylonitrile-acrylate), polyacrylate or poly(styrene-acrylate).

[0070] In this article, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region can be tested by any known method. As an example, a differential scanning thermogravimetric analyzer is used for testing. The testing instrument is a STA449F3 differential scanning thermogravimetric analyzer. The specific test process is: measure the thickness of the negative electrode film layer in the negative electrode plate; take a double-sided tape and stick it on the surface of the negative electrode plate to be tested, and then roll it three times in the same direction with a pressure roller, tear off the double-sided tape, and the powder stuck on the tape is counted as the first region powder (Note: The thickness of the first region where the tape sticks should be 1 / 2 of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer. The specific operation is: measure the thickness of the film layer left on the negative electrode plate. If the ratio of the thickness of the film layer left on the negative electrode plate to the thickness of the negative electrode film layer is less than 1 / 2, continue to use tape to stick it); Use a scraper to gently scrape off the powder left on the negative electrode plate. Be careful not to hang on the copper foil. This part of the powder is counted as the second region powder. The upper and lower layers of powder are tested for the binder content in the upper and lower layers according to the following steps. The test steps are: weigh about 50 mg of the sample and put it on Al 2 O 3 In the crucible, shake it flat; parameter settings: nitrogen atmosphere, purge gas 60mL / min, protective gas 20mL / min; temperature rise program: 10℃ / min, 35℃~600℃, to ensure that the sample is completely dispersed, and then draw a thermogravimetric-temperature change graph. The weight loss range of the binder is 300℃~600℃, and the binder content in the first area / second area is obtained respectively, and then the binder mass ratio in the first area / second area is calculated.

[0071] By using laser heating to treat the negative electrode sheet, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region can be controlled to be 0.1-1.4, so as to reduce the aggregation degree of the binder in the first region, and then reduce the coating of the binder on the negative electrode active material in the first region, so that the metal ions in the secondary battery can be better embedded and removed from the negative electrode sheet, improve the kinetic performance of the battery, reduce the DC impedance of the battery, and enhance the cycle performance of the battery. For example, in a lithium secondary battery, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is controlled to be 0.1-1.4, which is conducive to the embedding and removal of lithium ions in the negative electrode sheet, improves the kinetic performance of the lithium secondary battery, reduces its DC impedance, and thus improves the lithium precipitation window on the surface of the negative electrode sheet. In addition, laser heating is low in cost, simple and easy to operate, and will not add too much economic and labor costs to the production process.

[0072] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 0.6-1.

[0073] The mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is further controlled to be 0.6-1, which greatly reduces the aggregation of the binder in the first region, can further take into account the bonding performance of the negative electrode plate and the DC impedance of the battery, and comprehensively improve the cycle performance of the battery.

[0074] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the negative electrode film layer, the mass content of the binder in the first region is 0.18% to 2%, optionally 0.3% to 1%, and the mass content of the binder in the second region is 0.32% to 3%, optionally 0.7% to 2%. In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the negative electrode film layer, the mass content of the binder in the first region is 0.18%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, or a value in the range formed by any two of the above points, and the mass content of the binder in the second region is 0.32%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.2%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.8%, 3%, or a value in the range formed by any two of the above points.

[0075] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the negative electrode film layer, the sum of the mass contents of the binder in the first region and the binder in the second region is 0.5% to 5%, and can be 1.0% to 3.0%. In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the negative electrode film layer, the sum of the mass contents of the binder in the first region and the binder in the second region can be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, or a value in the range consisting of any two of the above points.

[0076] Controlling the mass content of the binder in the first region within a suitable range can not only make the battery have a lower DC impedance, but also bind the negative electrode active material to maintain the morphology of the negative electrode sheet; controlling the mass content of the binder in the second region within a suitable range can not only make the negative electrode sheet have excellent bonding performance (bonding force between the negative electrode film layer and the negative electrode collector), but also control the effect of the introduction of the binder on the DC impedance of the battery.

[0077] The present application also provides a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet, comprising:

[0078] Preparing a negative electrode film layer on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector to obtain a negative electrode sheet;

[0079] The negative electrode piece is treated by laser heating to obtain the negative electrode piece after laser heating;

[0080] Among them, the negative electrode film layer after laser heating treatment includes a first region and a second region, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 0.1-1.4, the first region is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer away from the negative electrode current collector extends to the inside of the negative electrode film layer within a distance of h / 2, and the second region is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer close to the negative electrode current collector extends to the first region within a distance of h / 2, and h represents the thickness of the negative electrode film layer.

[0081] By using laser heating to treat the negative electrode sheet, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region can be controlled to be 0.1-1.4, so as to reduce the aggregation degree of the binder in the first region, and then reduce the coating of the binder on the negative electrode active material in the first region, so that the metal ions in the secondary battery can be better embedded and removed from the negative electrode sheet, improve the kinetic performance of the battery, reduce the DC impedance of the battery, and enhance the cycle performance of the battery. For example, in a lithium secondary battery, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is controlled to be 0.1-1.4, which is conducive to the embedding and removal of lithium ions in the negative electrode sheet, improves the kinetic performance of the lithium secondary battery, reduces its DC impedance, and thus improves the lithium precipitation window on the surface of the negative electrode sheet. In addition, laser heating is low in cost, simple and easy to operate, and will not add too much economic and labor costs to the production process.

[0082] In some embodiments, before the laser heating treatment of the negative electrode sheet, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 1.5 to 10. In some embodiments, before the laser heating treatment of the negative electrode sheet, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region can be 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, or a value in the range formed by any two of the above points.

[0083] Before the negative electrode plate is treated with laser heating, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 1.5-10. Due to the aggregation of the binder in the first region, the DC impedance of the battery is increased, affecting the electrical performance of the battery. After the negative electrode plate is treated with laser heating, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region can be made to 0.1-1.4, which significantly reduces the aggregation of the binder in the first region, reduces the DC impedance of the battery, and improves the performance of the battery.

[0084] In some embodiments, laser heating treatment of the negative electrode plate includes:

[0085] Place the negative pole piece on one side of the laser emitting the laser and move it;

[0086] The surface of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector is irradiated with laser.

[0087] It can be understood that, in an oxygen atmosphere, laser irradiation is used to irradiate the surface of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector. Due to the energy concentration characteristic of the laser, the temperature of the surface of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector can be rapidly increased, so that the binder in the first region undergoes an oxidation reaction and volatilizes into the external environment. As the depth inside the negative electrode sheet increases, due to the effects of heat conduction and heat diffusion, the degree of temperature rise is weakened, and thus, part of the binder in the first region can be effectively removed, and the amount of binder removed in the second region by laser heating is much less than the amount of binder removed in the first region, achieving the effect of reducing the aggregation of binder in the first region, reducing the DC impedance of the battery, and improving the electrical performance of the battery. At the same time, controlling the negative electrode sheet to move at a uniform speed on one side of the laser can reduce the influence of the excessively high surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet on the negative active material in the negative electrode sheet.

[0088] In addition, a cooling system may be used to reduce ablation and oxidation of the negative electrode current collector caused by heat conduction and heat diffusion.

[0089] In this article, a plurality of laser heads integrated side by side are arranged in the laser device to emit laser light to irradiate the surface of the negative electrode plate.

[0090] In some embodiments, when laser heating is used to treat the negative electrode sheet, the power P of the laser and the moving speed V of the negative electrode sheet satisfy: 0.012<P / V≤0.15, which can be 0.02≤P / V≤0.125. In some embodiments, when laser heating is used to treat the negative electrode sheet, the power P of the laser and the moving speed V of the negative electrode sheet satisfy P / V, which can be 0.012, 0.015, 0.02, 0.03, 0.05, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, or a value in the range formed by any two of the above points.

[0091] In this article, P / V is the ratio of the index values, the unit of P is W, and the unit of V is m / min.

[0092] In this document, the term "laser power P" is the power of a transmitting laser that controls the laser intensity.

[0093] In this article, the term "moving speed V of the negative pole piece" refers to the moving speed of the negative pole piece in the horizontal direction when the negative pole piece is placed on one side of a laser emitting laser, for example, the negative pole piece is placed below the laser.

[0094] It can be understood that the greater the laser power P, the more conducive it is to the increase of the surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector; the greater the moving speed V of the negative electrode sheet, the less conducive it is to the increase of the surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector. The power P of the laser is controlled to satisfy the above relationship with the moving speed V of the negative electrode sheet, so that the surface of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector has a suitable temperature, thereby effectively removing part of the binder in the first region, and then making the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region 0.1 to 1.4, reducing the DC impedance of the battery and improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0095] In some embodiments, when the negative electrode sheet is treated by laser heating, the laser power P is 1000W to 10000W, and can be 3000W to 8000W. In some embodiments, when the negative electrode sheet is treated by laser heating, the laser power P is 1000W, 2000W, 3000W, 4000W, 5000W, 6000W, 7000W, 8000W, 9000W, 10000W, or a value in the range consisting of any two of the above points.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the negative electrode sheet is treated by laser heating, the moving speed V of the negative electrode sheet is 10m / min to 180m / min, and can be 20m / min to 150m / min. In some embodiments, when the negative electrode sheet is treated by laser heating, the moving speed V of the negative electrode sheet can be 10m / min, 20m / min, 30m / min, 40m / min, 50m / min, 60m / min, 70m / min, 80m / min, 90m / min, 100m / min, 110m / min,

[0097] 120m / min, 130m / min, 140m / min, 150m / min, 160m / min,

[0098] 170 m / min, 180 m / min, or a value in a range consisting of any two of the above points.

[0099] In some embodiments, when the negative electrode sheet is treated by laser heating, the surface temperature T of the negative electrode sheet on the side away from the negative electrode current collector is 300° C. to 700° C., and can be 400° C. to 700° C. In some embodiments, when the negative electrode sheet is treated by laser heating, the surface temperature T of the negative electrode sheet on the side away from the negative electrode current collector can be 300° C., 350° C., 400° C., 450° C., 500° C., 550° C., 600° C., 650° C., 700° C., or a value in the range formed by any two of the above points.

[0100] It is understandable that, since the surface of the negative electrode sheet is irradiated with laser, the negative electrode sheet can be heated in a short time to rapidly increase the surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet. By controlling the laser power P and the moving speed V of the negative electrode sheet, the surface temperature T of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector is within a suitable range. The surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet can be measured by a temperature sensor. In addition, the decomposition temperature and reaction temperature of the negative electrode active material are both higher than 800°C. Therefore, the surface temperature T of the negative electrode sheet is less than or equal to 700°C, and the binder can be decomposed, but the effect on the negative electrode active material can be ignored.

[0101] By controlling the laser power P, the moving speed V of the negative electrode plate or the surface temperature T of the negative electrode plate on the side away from the negative electrode current collector within a suitable range, part of the binder in the first region can be removed so that the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is reduced to 0.1-1.4, and the influence of laser heating on the negative electrode active material can be reduced.

[0102] In some embodiments, the specific steps include:

[0103] Uniformly mixing raw materials including negative electrode active materials and binders with deionized water to prepare negative electrode slurry, coating the negative electrode slurry on a negative electrode current collector to prepare a negative electrode film layer, and obtaining a negative electrode sheet; optionally, the raw materials further include sodium carboxymethyl cellulose;

[0104] Place the negative pole piece on one side of the laser emitting the laser and move it;

[0105] The surface of the negative electrode plate away from the negative electrode current collector is irradiated with laser to obtain the negative electrode plate after laser heating treatment.

[0106] It is understandable that in the process of coating the negative electrode slurry on the negative electrode current collector and drying it to prepare the negative electrode film layer, due to the affinity problem between the binder and the negative electrode active material, there will be a problem of the upward flow of the solvent driving the binder to float during the solvent evaporation process, resulting in the binder being enriched on the surface of the negative electrode sheet away from the negative electrode current collector, thereby increasing the DC impedance of the battery; and the enrichment of the binder on the surface of the negative electrode sheet will also cause the negative electrode film layer on the negative electrode sheet to stick to the roller when the negative electrode sheet is rolled later, resulting in damage to the negative electrode sheet. In some embodiments of the present application, laser heating is used to treat the negative electrode sheet, which can effectively remove part of the binder in the first region. The mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region of the treated negative electrode sheet is 0.1 to 1.4, which can effectively reduce the aggregation of the binder in the first region, reduce the DC impedance of the battery, improve the performance of the battery, and also help improve the processing technology of the negative electrode sheet.

[0107] In some embodiments, the preparation method further includes a compaction treatment step, and the compaction treatment step is performed before or after the negative electrode sheet is treated with laser heating.

[0108] In some embodiments, the preparation method further includes a die-cutting process step, and the die-cutting process step is performed after the compaction step, and the die-cutting process step is performed before or after the negative electrode sheet is treated with laser heating.

[0109] The step of laser heating the negative electrode plate can be before or after the compaction step or the die-cutting step, and can ensure that after the laser heating treatment, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region of the negative electrode plate is 0.1 to 1.4.

[0110] [Positive electrode]

[0111] The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer disposed on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector, wherein the positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material.

[0113] In some embodiments, the positive electrode current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, aluminum foil may be used as the metal foil. The composite current collector may include a polymer material base and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer material base. The composite current collector may be formed by forming a metal material (aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer material substrate (such as a substrate of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).

[0115] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer may further include a conductive agent, for example, the conductive agent may include at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon nanofibers.

[0116] In some embodiments, the positive electrode sheet can be prepared in the following manner: the components for preparing the positive electrode sheet, such as the positive electrode active material, the conductive agent, the binder and any other components are dispersed in a solvent (such as N-methylpyrrolidone) to form a positive electrode slurry; the positive electrode slurry is coated on the positive electrode collector, and after drying, cold pressing and other processes, the positive electrode sheet can be obtained.

[0152] 1. Preparation method

[0153] Example 1

[0154] 1) Negative electrode

[0155] The negative electrode active material artificial graphite, thickener hydroxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and adhesive styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) were mixed and dissolved in deionized water at a weight ratio of 96.5:1.5:2 to prepare the negative electrode slurry. The negative electrode slurry was obtained under the action of a vacuum mixer and then coated on the surface of the copper foil. Then it was transferred to a vacuum drying oven for complete drying. The weight per side was 100mg / 1540.25mm 2 , and then the negative electrode is obtained by cold pressing.

[0156] The negative electrode sheet is treated by laser heating. The prepared negative electrode sheet is placed under the laser emitting laser and moved. The moving speed of the negative electrode sheet is 10m / min. The power of the laser is 3000W. The laser irradiates the surface of the negative electrode sheet away from the current collector. The surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet is heated to 500℃, and the negative electrode sheet after laser heating treatment is obtained.

The dried pole piece is rolled and punched to obtain a positive electrode piece.

[0159] 3) Electrolyte

[0160] In an argon atmosphere glove box (H 2 O<0.1ppm, O 2 <0.1ppm), 30% ethylene carbonate and 60% dimethyl carbonate are mixed evenly to obtain a mixed solvent. Then 9% lithium hexafluorophosphate is added to dissolve in the mixed solvent, stirred evenly, and mixed to prepare an electrolyte.

[0161] 4) Isolation film

[0162] Polypropylene film is used as the isolation film.

[0163] 5) Preparation of batteries

[0164] The positive electrode sheet, the separator, and the negative electrode sheet are stacked in order, the separator is placed between the positive and negative electrode sheets to play an isolating role, the bare cell is welded with the pole ear, and the bare cell is placed in an aluminum shell, and baked at 80°C to remove water, and then the above-mentioned electrolyte is injected and sealed to obtain an uncharged battery. The uncharged battery is then subjected to the processes of static, hot and cold pressing, formation, shaping, and capacity testing in sequence to obtain the lithium secondary battery product of Example 1.

[0165] Embodiments 2 to 15

[0166] The battery preparation methods in Examples 2 to 15 are basically similar to those in Example 1, but the moving speed V of the negative electrode sheet and the power P of the laser are adjusted. The specific parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0167] Comparative Example 1

[0169] Comparative Examples 2 to 5

[0170] The battery preparation methods in Comparative Examples 2 to 5 are basically similar to those in Example 1, but the laser power P and the moving speed V of the negative electrode plate are adjusted at the same time so that the P / V value does not exceed 0.012 or is higher than 0.15. The specific parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0171] 2. Performance Test

[0172] 1. Negative electrode performance test

[0173] 1) Test on the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region

[0174] The test was conducted using a differential scanning thermogravimetric analyzer. The test instrument is a STA449F3 differential scanning thermogravimetric analyzer. The specific test process is as follows: measure the thickness of the negative electrode film layer in the negative electrode sheet; take a double-sided tape and stick it on the surface of the negative electrode sheet to be tested, then use a pressure roller to roll it three times in the same direction, tear off the double-sided tape, and the powder stuck on the tape is considered the first region of powder (Note: the thickness of the first region where the tape sticks should be 1 / 2 of the thickness of the negative electrode film layer. The specific operation is as follows: measure the thickness of the film layer left on the negative electrode sheet. If the ratio of the thickness of the film layer left on the negative electrode sheet to the thickness of the negative electrode film layer is less than 1 / 2, continue to use the tape to stick it); use a scraper to gently scrape off the powder left on the negative electrode sheet. Be careful not to get on the copper foil. This part of the powder is considered the second region of powder. The upper and lower layers of powder can be tested for the binder content in the upper and lower layers according to the following steps. The test steps are as follows: weigh about 50 mg of the sample and place it on Al 2 O 3 In the crucible, shake it flat; parameter settings: nitrogen atmosphere, purge gas 60mL / min, protective gas 20mL / min; temperature rise program: 10℃ / min, 35℃~600℃, to ensure that the sample is completely dispersed, and then draw a thermogravimetric-temperature change graph. The weight loss range of the binder is 300℃~700℃, and the binder content in the first area / second area is obtained, and then the binder mass ratio in the first area / second area is calculated.

[0175] 2) Relative adhesion test

[0176] At 25°C, the prepared negative electrode sheet is used as the electrode sheet to be tested. A sample with a width of 30mm and a length of 100-160mm is cut with a blade. A special double-sided tape is attached to the steel plate. The tape width is 20mm and the length is 90-150mm. The negative electrode film layer of the cut negative electrode sheet sample is attached to the double-sided tape, and then rolled three times in the same direction with a roller. A paper tape with a width equal to that of the electrode sheet and a length greater than that of the sample by 80-200mm is fixed to the negative electrode current collector and fixed with wrinkled glue. Turn on the power of the tensile machine, the indicator light is on, adjust the limit block to the appropriate position, fix the end of the steel plate without the electrode with the lower clamp, fold the paper tape upwards, and fix it with the upper clamp. Use the "up" and "down" buttons on the manual controller attached to the tensile machine to adjust the position of the upper clamp, turn on the dedicated computer connected to the tensile machine, double-click the desktop software icon, and test. The stretching rate is 50m / min, the test distance is 50mm, and the software takes a data point every 10s. These data point values ​​are used as the ordinate and the corresponding test distance is used as the abscissa to obtain the bonding force curve of the negative electrode. The force when the negative electrode is balanced is divided by the width of the tape as the bonding force of the negative electrode film layer per unit length to characterize the bonding strength between the negative electrode film layer and the negative electrode current collector. The data in Table 2 use the bonding force of Example 6 as the reference value (100%), and the other embodiments or comparative examples are all relative values ​​relative to the bonding force of Example 6.

[0177] 2. Battery performance test

[0178] 1) Relative DC resistance (DCR) test

[0179] At 25°C, the prepared battery was charged to 4.2V at 1C constant current, and then charged to 0.05C at 4.2V constant voltage. After 5 minutes of storage, the battery was discharged at 1C constant current for 12 minutes, and the voltage V1 was recorded. After 5 minutes of storage, the battery was placed at -10°C for 2 hours, and then discharged at 4C for 10 seconds, and the voltage V2 was recorded. Then (V2-V1) / 4C was used to obtain the DC resistance DCR of the battery. The data in Table 2 are based on the internal resistance DCR of the battery in Example 6 as the reference value (100%), and the other examples or comparative examples are all relative values ​​of the DC resistance DCR of the battery in Example 6.

[0180] 2) Battery cycle capacity retention rate test

[0181] The battery capacity retention rate test process is as follows: at 25°C, the prepared battery is charged to 4.3V at a constant current of 1 / 3C, then charged to a current of 0.05C at a constant voltage of 4.3V, left for 5 minutes, and then discharged to 2.8V at 1 / 3C. The obtained capacity is recorded as the initial capacity C0. Repeat the above steps for the same battery mentioned above, and record the discharge capacity Cn of the battery after the nth cycle at the same time. Then, after each cycle, the battery capacity retention rate Pn=Cn / C0×100%, with the 800 point values ​​of P1, P2...800 as the ordinate, and the corresponding number of cycles as the abscissa, to obtain a curve chart of the battery capacity retention rate and the number of cycles. During the test, the first cycle corresponds to n=1, the second cycle corresponds to n=2, and...the 800th cycle corresponds to n=800. The battery capacity retention rate data corresponding to the embodiment or comparative example in Table 2 is the data measured after 800 cycles under the above test conditions, that is, the value of P800. The test process of the comparative example and other embodiments is the same as above.

[0182] III. Analysis of test results of various embodiments and comparative examples

[0183] The batteries of the embodiments and comparative examples were prepared according to the above method, and various performance parameters were measured. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

[0184] Table 1

[0185]

[0186] Table 2

[0187]

[0188] According to the above results, the negative electrode sheets in Examples 1 to 15 include a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer located on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode film layer includes a binder; wherein the negative electrode film layer includes a first region and a second region, and the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region is 0.1 to 1.4, the first region is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer away from the negative electrode current collector extends to the inside of the negative electrode film layer within a distance of h / 2, and the second region is a region where the surface of the negative electrode film layer close to the negative electrode current collector extends to the first region within a distance of h / 2, h represents the thickness of the negative electrode film layer, and the negative electrode sheet is a negative electrode sheet after laser heating treatment.

[0189] From the comparison between Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that laser heating treatment of the negative electrode plate is beneficial to reducing the DC impedance of the battery and improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0190] From the comparison between Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 2 to 5, it can be seen that after the negative electrode plate is treated with laser heat, the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region of the negative electrode plate after the treatment is controlled to be 0.1 to 1.4, which is beneficial to reducing the DC impedance of the battery and improving the cycle performance of the battery while taking into account the bonding performance of the negative electrode plate.

[0191] From the comparison between Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 2 to 3, it can be seen that when the laser power P is 3000W, the moving speed of the negative electrode sheet is too high or too low, which will cause the surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet to be lower than 300°C or higher than 730°C. The surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet lower than 300°C is not conducive to the removal of the styrene butadiene rubber SBR in the first region, and the surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet higher than 730°C may cause the decomposition of the negative electrode active material and affect the electrical performance of the battery. By controlling the moving speed of the negative electrode sheet within a suitable range, the styrene butadiene rubber SBR in the first region can be removed and the impact on the negative electrode active material can be reduced.

[0192] From the comparison between Examples 4, 10-14 and Comparative Examples 4-5, it can be seen that when the moving speed of the negative electrode sheet is 80 m / min, the laser power is too high or too low, which will cause the surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet to be lower than 300°C or higher than 730°C. The surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet lower than 300°C is not conducive to the removal of the styrene butadiene rubber SBR in the first region, and the surface temperature of the negative electrode sheet higher than 730°C may cause the decomposition of the negative electrode active material and affect the electrical performance of the battery. By controlling the moving speed of the negative electrode sheet within a suitable range, the styrene butadiene rubber SBR in the first region can be removed and the impact on the negative electrode active material can be reduced.

[0193] From the comparison between Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, it can be seen that when the negative electrode plate is treated by laser heating, the laser power P is controlled to be 1000W to 10000W, and the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region of the treated negative electrode plate can be 0.1 to 1.4, thereby reducing the DC impedance of the battery and improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0194] From the comparison between Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, it can be seen that when the negative electrode plate is treated by laser heating, the moving speed V of the negative electrode plate is controlled to be 10 m / min to 180 m / min, and the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region of the treated negative electrode plate can be 0.1 to 1.4, thereby reducing the DC impedance of the battery and improving the cycle performance of the battery.

[0195] From the comparison between Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, it can be seen that when the negative electrode plate is treated by laser heating, the surface temperature T of the negative electrode plate on the side away from the negative electrode current collector is controlled to be 300°C to 700°C, and the mass ratio of the binder in the first region to the binder in the second region of the treated negative electrode plate can be 0.1 to 1.4, thereby reducing the DC impedance of the battery and improving the cycle performance of the battery.

The above-mentioned embodiments are only examples, and the embodiments having the same structure as the technical idea and exerting the same effect within the scope of the technical solution of the present application are all included in the technical scope of the present application.
