Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a super-amphiphilic coating capable of conducting lithium ions, a preparation method and application thereof, a diaphragm, a pole piece and a lithium ion battery. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in various fields such as consumer electronics, power, and energy storage. Due to the higher requirements of application scenarios and increasingly fierce market competition, lithium-ion batteries with high energy density, high power density, high safety, and long life have become the development focus of major battery manufacturers.

[0003] However, during the charge and discharge process of lithium-ion batteries, the electrode materials continuously expand and contract, squeezing out the electrolyte between the cell electrodes and the electrode layers. The electrolyte then flows back into the restored pores after the electrode material shrinks. During this process, uneven electrolyte reflux and localized electrolyte starvation may occur. Inadequate lithium-ion conductivity can cause lithium deposition in these locations, leading to unpredictable cycling "dives" in the battery cell, seriously impacting its cycle life.

[0004] Literature research suggests that the electrolyte first wets the separator and then diffuses into the electrode. If the electrode is not fully wetted, a non-wetting phase will be found near the electrode / current collector interface, while the separator side is relatively fully wetted. Based on this, it is crucial to improve the ability of the electrode and separator to reabsorb the electrolyte, and improving the wettability of the electrode and separator with the electrolyte is the key to improving the absorption capacity. Currently, commonly used solvents in commercial lithium-ion battery electrolytes include ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC). Commercial electrolytes are a mixture of multiple solvents. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a solution that is suitable for improving the wettability of multiple electrolytes.

[0220] The following is an evaluation of the separators, electrodes and lithium-ion batteries prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-4 by wettability test, 1500-cycle lithium deposition test and capacity retention test.

[0221] Performance testing methods

[0222] 1. Wettability test of diaphragm and electrode for aqueous solvent, oily solvent and electrolyte:

[0223] The present invention determines the wettability of the electrolyte by measuring the contact angles of different solvents and electrolytes on the surfaces of the diaphragm and electrode materials. A contact angle meter is used to measure the static contact angles of the solvents and electrolytes six seconds after they are dropwise applied to the sample surface. The results of five repeated tests are used as the final result.

[0224] EC was selected as the representative of the aqueous solvent, EMC as the representative of the oily solvent, and the electrolyte was represented by the following formula: ethylene carbonate (EC) and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) were prepared into a mixed solvent in a mass ratio of 50:50, and then fully dried electrolyte salt LiPF6 was dissolved therein (1.0 mol / L) to obtain the electrolyte.

[0225] 2. Battery cycle lithium deposition test:

[0226] After 1500 cycles, the battery was disassembled to observe lithium deposition at the interface. The extent of lithium deposition in the center of the electrode was assessed to evaluate the effectiveness of the lithium-ion-conducting super-amphiphilic coating provided by the present invention in improving lithium deposition caused by liquid depletion in the center of the battery cell during cycling.

[0227] Cycling conditions: 25°C, 1C / 1C, 1500 cycles.

[0228] Lithium deposition degree judgment standard: the percentage of lithium deposition area in the center of the electrode to the total area of ​​the electrode:

[0229]

[0230] 3. Capacity retention rate after 1500 cycles:

[0231] The cycle capacity retention rate of the battery cell after 1500 cycles will be used as a basis to evaluate the effect of the lithium ion conductive super-amphiphilic coating provided by the present invention on improving the cycle life.

[0232] Cycling conditions: 25°C, 1C / 1C, 1500 cycles.

[0233] Capacity retention rate calculation method: 1500-cycle discharge capacity / initial discharge capacity.

[0234] Test results:

[0235]

[0236] The test results of Examples 1-5 show the technical effects of the lithium ion conductive super-amphiphilic coating on the positive and negative electrodes and battery cells when applied to aluminum foil, copper foil and separator.

[0237] (1) The positive and negative electrodes and separators using this coating have super affinity for aqueous and oily solvents in the electrolyte. The contact angles for aqueous EC and oily EMC solvents are both less than 5°, thus achieving super affinity for the electrolyte (contact angle for the electrolyte is less than 5°).

[0238] (2) Furthermore, the positive and negative electrodes and separators with this coating have good wettability during the cycle process, which can accelerate the reabsorption of electrolyte, improve the liquid absorption capacity of the battery cell, and help alleviate the extrusion of electrolyte during the expansion process. After 1500 cycles, the battery cells with positive and negative electrodes and separators with this coating all have a low degree of lithium plating.

[0239] (3) Correspondingly, its capacity retention rate for 1500 weeks is relatively excellent.

[0240] Comparison of Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 with Example 1 illustrates the necessity of combining the amphiphilic material and the lithium ion conductor nanomaterial when constructing the super-amphiphilic coating capable of conducting lithium ions.

[0241] (1) Comparative Example 4 is a positive electrode sheet and battery cell prepared from unmodified aluminum foil. The contact angle of the positive electrode sheet to EC, EMC and electrolyte is large, corresponding to a large degree of lithium deposition after 1500 cycles, and a low cycle capacity retention rate;

[0242] (2) The coating structure of Comparative Example 1 uses 1-5 μm particle size Li coated with propoxyglycerol triglycidyl ether polymer. 1.4 Al 0.4 Ti 1.6 (PO4)3 particles, the coating formed by them lacks the micro-nanostructure required for super-amphiphilic function, and therefore only improves the affinity for oily and aqueous solvents, and electrolytes to a certain extent;

[0243] (3) Comparative Example 2 uses only propoxyglycerol triglycidyl ether polymer as a coating, and the interface constructed has only an amphiphilic function, which is far lower than the wettability of the positive electrode sheet with this coating in Example 1 to EC, EMC and electrolyte;

[0244] (4) Comparative Example 3 uses nano-Li with a particle size of 50-100 nm. 1.4 Al 0.4 Ti 1.6 The (PO4)3 electrolyte particle coating has a certain affinity for both EC solvent and electrolyte due to its polarity, but compared with the super-amphiphilic coating constructed in Example 1, its affinity is still relatively low, the degree of lithium plating during the cycle is high, and the capacity retention rate is correspondingly poor.

[0245] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
