Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy batteries, and in particular to a positive electrode sheet and a preparation method thereof, and a battery. Background Art

[0002] Layered oxide materials are used as positive active materials of batteries to increase capacity due to their high energy density. However, layered oxide materials are easily affected by external factors such as moisture, and have poor cycle stability. Moreover, the alkalinity of layered oxide materials is too high (pH>10), and gel reaction is easy to occur. During the stirring and standing of the slurry, the viscosity changes too much, and it cannot be left standing for too long, resulting in the weight of the positive electrode slurry being difficult to stabilize during the coating process, and it is easy to be scrapped and used, resulting in cost waste. Those skilled in the art often add acidic substances such as oxalic acid to the positive electrode slurry to delay the change of slurry viscosity, but oxalic acid is difficult to dissolve, and there is still some residual undissolved oxalic acid after stirring. As the battery is charged and discharged, the temperature inside the battery rises, and oxalic acid will decompose to generate water, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide (H2C2O4=H2O+CO↑+CO2↑). At this time, gas will continue to be generated inside the battery, causing the inside of the pole piece and the battery shell to expand, thereby affecting the cycle life of the battery.

[0027] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For example, the "include" and "comprising" may mean that other components not listed may also be included or only the listed components may be included or only the listed components may be included.

[0034] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the positive electrode slurry generates gas due to the addition of acidic substances, which causes the aluminum shell to swell easily, thereby affecting the cycle life of the battery, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0035] A first aspect of the present invention provides a positive electrode plate, the positive electrode plate comprising a current collector, a first positive electrode active material layer disposed on a surface of the current collector, and a second positive electrode active material layer disposed on a surface of the first positive electrode active material layer away from the current collector;

[0036] Wherein, the first positive electrode active material layer comprises a first positive electrode active material and an acidic additive, and the second positive electrode active material layer comprises a second positive electrode active material and a carbon dioxide absorbent;

[0037] The first positive electrode active material includes a layered oxide, and the second positive electrode active material includes a polyanionic compound.

[0038] The first positive electrode active material layer in the positive electrode plate of the present invention includes a layered oxide and an acidic additive, so that the inner layer slurry has a higher stability, which is beneficial to the weight control during the coating process; the second positive electrode active material layer adds a carbon dioxide absorbent, which can absorb the gas produced in the inner layer, and avoid the battery cycle performance from being reduced due to the swelling of the battery cell caused by more gas production. The first positive electrode active material layer (inner layer) in the positive electrode plate of the present invention contains a layered oxide, and the second positive electrode active material layer contains a carbon dioxide absorbent, which can absorb the gas at the first time when the gas is produced, and avoid the generated gas from running directly into the aluminum shell, thereby avoiding the weakening of the absorption capacity due to the long absorption distance; and the polyanionic compound is arranged in the outer layer, which can prevent external factors (such as water) from acting on the layered oxide in the inner layer, further improving the cycle stability of the material.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the layered oxide is selected from at least one of sodium nickel cobalt manganate, sodium metaferrite and sodium nickel cobalt aluminum; and / or the polyanionic compound is selected from sodium vanadium phosphate and / or sodium vanadium fluorophosphate.

[0040] According to the present invention, the pH of the acidic additive is 2 to 5; in the present invention, a suitable acidic additive can stabilize the slurry and control the coating weight while ensuring the performance of the layered oxide. If the pH of the acidic additive is too low, the layered structure of the layered oxide will be destroyed, affecting the performance of the layered oxide. If the pH of the acidic additive is too high, it is difficult to achieve the effect of stabilizing the slurry and control the weight during the coating process. Optionally, the acidic additive includes an organic acid; preferably, the organic acid is selected from at least one of oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid and acetic acid.

[0041] In the positive electrode plate of the present invention, since the decomposition of the acidic additive in the first positive electrode active material layer is often accompanied by the generation of water, and the generated water is also detrimental to the cycle performance of the battery cell, the second positive electrode active material layer of the present invention preferably uses 2-hydroxyethylamine and / or 1,4-diaminobutane as a carbon dioxide absorber. This is because 2-hydroxyethylamine and / or 1,4-diaminobutane can be miscible with water in addition to absorbing carbon dioxide, thereby being able to absorb the generated water, which is beneficial to protecting the performance of the battery cell.

[0042] In the present invention, in order to ensure the capacity of the battery and the cycle stability of the electrode, the mass ratio of the first positive electrode active material and the second positive electrode active material can be (35-60): (60-80), preferably (38-50): (60-70). When the acidic additive added to the first positive electrode active material layer in the present invention increases, the substances that can be decomposed by the acidic substances during the charging and discharging process of the battery will increase accordingly, and the generated gas and water will also increase accordingly, so more carbon dioxide absorbents are needed to absorb harmful substances. In order to further improve the stability of the first positive electrode active material layer and the second positive electrode active material layer, the masses of the first positive electrode active material, the second positive electrode active material, the acidic additive and the carbon dioxide absorbent in the present invention satisfy the following formula:

[0043] y=ae -0.034x

[0044] Wherein, x represents the mass ratio of the first positive electrode active material to the acidic additive, y represents the mass ratio of the carbon dioxide absorbent to the second positive electrode active material, and 0.1≤a≤0.15.

[0045] In the present invention, the thickness ratio of the first positive electrode active material layer and the second positive electrode active material layer is 1.5 to 4.5:1. Exemplarily, the thickness ratio of the first positive electrode active material layer and the second positive electrode active material layer can be any value among 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1 and 4.5:1 or any value within the range of any two of the above values. If the thickness ratio of the first positive electrode active material layer and the second positive electrode active material layer is too high, that is, the second positive electrode active material layer is relatively thin, the second positive electrode active material layer will not absorb enough gas produced by the battery cell, and there may still be a bulging problem, which affects the cycle life of the battery; if the thickness ratio of the first positive electrode active material layer and the second positive electrode active material layer is too low, that is, the second positive electrode active material layer is relatively thick, the carbon dioxide absorbent is excessive, which will reduce the gram capacity of the positive electrode sheet and affect the battery performance. Preferably, the thickness ratio of the first positive electrode active material layer and the second positive electrode active material layer is 2 to 3:1.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first positive electrode active material layer further includes a first conductive agent and a first binder; and / or the second positive electrode active material layer further includes a second conductive agent and a second binder.

[0047] Exemplarily, the first conductive agent is selected from at least one of graphite, carbon black, graphene, conductive carbon black and acetylene black.

[0048] Exemplarily, the second conductive agent is selected from at least one of graphite, carbon black, graphene, conductive carbon black and acetylene black.

[0049] Exemplarily, the first binder includes at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride, styrene-butadiene rubber, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyacrylate and polyacrylic acid, preferably polyvinylidene fluoride.

[0050] Exemplarily, the second binder includes at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride, styrene-butadiene rubber, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyacrylate and polyacrylic acid, preferably polyvinylidene fluoride.

[0051] In the present invention, when the binder is polyvinylidene fluoride, the vulcanization of the carbon dioxide absorber allows the carbon-carbon double bonds of polyvinylidene fluoride to join the vulcanization bonds and then open and recombine to crosslink, which helps to promote the bonding strength of the polyvinylidene fluoride and further improve the peeling strength of the electrode.

[0052] According to the present invention, in the first positive electrode active material layer, the mass ratio of the first positive electrode active material, the acidic additive, the first conductive agent and the first binder may be 1: 0.011-0.035: 0.013-0.046: 0.005-0.035. Preferably, in order to further improve the cycle performance of the battery and reduce the gas production, the mass ratio of the first positive electrode active material, the acidic additive, the first conductive agent and the first binder is 1: 0.018-0.032: 0.02-0.032: 0.01-0.027.

[0053] According to the present invention, in the second positive electrode active material layer, the mass ratio of the second positive electrode active material, the carbon dioxide absorber, the second conductive agent and the second binder can be 1: 0.018~0.034: 0.037~0.067: 0.015~0.027; preferably, in order to further improve the cycle performance of the battery and reduce the gas production, the mass ratio of the second positive electrode active material, the carbon dioxide absorber, the second conductive agent and the second binder is 1: 0.024~0.034: 0.042~0.067: 0.017~0.027.

[0054] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a positive electrode sheet, the method comprising the following steps:

[0055] S1, coating the inner layer slurry on the surface of the current collector and performing a first drying process to obtain a current collector provided with a first positive electrode active material layer;

[0056] S2, coating the outer layer slurry on the surface of the current collector provided with the first positive electrode active material layer and performing a second drying process to obtain a positive electrode;

[0057] The inner slurry comprises a first positive electrode active material and an acidic additive, and the outer slurry comprises a second positive electrode active material and a carbon dioxide absorbent; the first positive electrode active material comprises a layered oxide, and the second positive electrode active material comprises a polyanionic compound.

[0058] In the preparation method of the present invention, an acidic additive is added to the inner layer slurry to neutralize the pH value of the slurry, while ensuring the stability of the slurry viscosity, carbon dioxide gas is easily decomposed during the charging and discharging process of the battery core; by adding a carbon dioxide absorbent to the outer layer slurry to absorb the gas, the battery core is prevented from swelling due to excessive gas production. The method of the present invention is conducive to the normal progress of the coating process, reducing the waste and cost of the slurry, and the absorption of gas is conducive to improving the battery cycle performance.

[0059] Illustratively, the preparation step of the inner layer slurry includes: mixing a first positive electrode active material, an acidic additive, a first conductive agent, a first binder and a first solvent and then performing a first stirring treatment; wherein the first positive electrode active material includes a layered oxide.

[0060] Exemplarily, the preparation step of the outer layer slurry includes: mixing a second positive electrode active material, a carbon dioxide absorber, a second conductive agent, a second binder and a second solvent and then performing a second stirring treatment; wherein the second positive electrode active material includes a polyanionic compound; optionally, the first solvent includes N-methylpyrrolidone; and the second solvent includes N-methylpyrrolidone.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner layer slurry may include: 35 to 60 parts by weight of the first positive electrode active material, 0.7 to 1.2 parts by weight of the acidic additive, 0.8 to 1.6 parts by weight of the first conductive agent, 0.3 to 1.2 parts by weight of the first binder and 20 to 30 parts by weight of the first solvent; preferably, the inner layer slurry includes: 38 to 50 parts by weight of the first positive electrode active material, 0.9 to 1.2 parts by weight of the acidic additive, 1 to 1.2 parts by weight of the first conductive agent, 0.5 to 1 parts by weight of the first binder and 22 to 28 parts by weight of the first solvent.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer layer slurry may include: 60 to 80 parts by weight of the second positive electrode active material, 1.5 to 2 parts by weight of the carbon dioxide absorber, 3 to 4 parts by weight of the second conductive agent, 1.2 to 1.6 parts by weight of the second binder and 40 to 50 parts by weight of the second solvent; preferably, the outer layer slurry includes: 60 to 70 parts by weight of the second positive electrode active material, 1.7 to 2 parts by weight of the carbon dioxide absorber, 3 to 4 parts by weight of the second conductive agent, 1.2 to 1.6 parts by weight of the second binder and 40 to 50 parts by weight of the second solvent.

[0063] A third aspect of the present invention provides a battery, comprising the above-mentioned positive electrode sheet and / or the positive electrode sheet prepared according to the above-mentioned method.
