Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of secondary batteries, in particular to a negative electrode sheet, a battery and an electric device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In lithium ion secondary batteries, improving the energy density of the battery is one of the important goals. When the energy density of the battery is improved, the thickness of the active material coating of the negative electrode sheet is usually increased and the compaction density is improved. However, with the increase of the coating thickness and the improvement of the compaction density, the kinetic characteristics of the battery cell are significantly affected, which leads to the blocking of ion transmission during the charging process, increases the risk of dendrite phenomenon, and thus may damage the safety and cycle life of the battery. In the related art, in order to alleviate this problem, laser drilling technology is introduced as an innovative means, which aims to improve the kinetic performance of the battery electrode sheet through a physical method. This method forms a microporous structure by precisely ablation on the electrode sheet material with high compaction density using a laser beam. These micropores act as permeation channels for electrolyte, effectively promoting the diffusion efficiency of lithium ions, and thus optimizing the ion transmission path inside the battery.
[0003] However, the laser drilling technology also faces challenges in practical application, especially its potential destructive effect on the active material cannot be ignored. For example, the current mainstream silicon-carbon negative electrode material usually adopts a vapor deposition method, that is, embedding elemental silicon into a porous carbon matrix to improve the energy storage capacity and cycle stability of the negative electrode. However, the high temperature and high-energy laser beam generated during the laser drilling process often damages the carbon matrix structure of the silicon-carbon composite material, causing the elemental silicon originally wrapped by the carbon matrix to be directly exposed to the electrolyte. This direct exposure not only aggravates the shedding of the active material, but also may trigger a series of adverse electrochemical reactions, such as increasing the self-discharge rate of the battery, shortening the cycle life of the battery, and negatively affecting the overall performance of the battery, etc. Therefore, how to reduce the risk of dendrite phenomenon while not damaging the material structure has become a problem to be solved. SUMMARY

At the same time, the particle size of the first active coating layer is relatively small, and the compaction density is large, which can improve the energy density of the battery. Therefore, the negative electrode tab provided by the embodiments of the present application can effectively reduce the risk of side reactions while not damaging the material structure.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0026] The embodiments of the present application provide a negative electrode sheet, a battery and an electric device. The first active coating layer and the second active coating layer with different particle sizes of active material particles are alternately arranged along the second direction on the surface of the current collector, so that the characteristics of the first active coating layer and the second active coating layer are different. By controlling Ds2 / Ds1≤0.5, D502 / D501≥1.3, the particle size of the second active coating layer is relatively large, which is beneficial to the storage of electrolyte and has low ion impedance, can provide ion channels for ion movement, and can effectively improve the kinetic performance of the battery cell, and the electrolyte transport path of the first active coating layer is reduced, and the kinetic performance is improved. At the same time, the particle size of the first active coating layer is relatively small, and the compaction density is large, which can improve the energy density of the battery.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structure schematic diagram of a negative electrode sheet provided by the embodiments of the present application.
[0028] It can be understood that the negative electrode sheet includes the current collector 100 and the negative active material layer 200 coated on at least one surface of the current collector 100. Among them, the thickness direction of the current collector 100 is the first direction, and the negative active material layer 200 includes a first active coating layer 210 and a second active coating layer 220 arranged alternately along the second direction perpendicular to the first direction. That is, the negative active material layer 200 includes a plurality of first active coating layers 210 and a plurality of second active coating layers 220, the plurality of first active coating layers 210 and the plurality of second active coating layers 220 are arranged alternately, and the thickness direction of the first active coating layer 210 and the thickness direction of the second active coating layer 220 are the same as the thickness direction of the current collector 100. By arranging the first active coating layer 210 and the second active coating layer 220 alternately in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the current collector 100, the electrolyte can simultaneously contact the first active coating layer 210 and the second active coating layer 220. In addition, the active material particles of the first active coating layer 210 and the active material particles of the second active coating layer 220 satisfy that the ratio of Ds2 to Ds1 is less than or equal to 0.5, and the ratio of D502 to D501 is greater than or equal to 1.3, wherein Ds2=D902-D102, Ds1=D901-D101; D101 is the particle size corresponding to the cumulative particle size distribution percentage of 10% of the active material particles of the first active coating layer 210, D501 is the particle size corresponding to the cumulative particle size distribution percentage of 50% of the active material particles of the first active coating layer 210, D901 is the particle size corresponding to the cumulative particle size distribution percentage of 90% of the active material particles of the first active coating layer 210, D102 is the particle size corresponding to the cumulative particle size distribution percentage of 10% of the active material particles of the second active coating layer 220, D502 is the particle size corresponding to the cumulative particle size distribution percentage of 50% of the active material particles of the second active coating layer 220, and D902 is the particle size corresponding to the cumulative particle size distribution percentage of 90% of the active material particles of the second active coating layer 220.
[0029] It can be understood that by controlling the active material particles of the first active coating layer 210 and the active material particles of the second active coating layer 220 to satisfy that the ratio of Ds2 to Ds1 is less than or equal to 0.5, the particle packing of the active material particles in the first active coating layer 210 is more compact than the particle packing of the active material particles in the second active coating layer 220, so that the energy density of the first active coating layer 210 is greater than the energy density of the second active coating layer 220, and because the particle size distribution of the active material particles of the second active coating layer 220 is more concentrated, it is beneficial to the storage and ion transmission of the electrolyte, thereby improving the kinetic performance of the battery.
[0030] It is understandable that the smaller the particle size of the active material particles in the active coating, the greater the compaction density of the active coating, which leads to a decrease in the battery's kinetic performance but an increase in energy density. Conversely, the larger the particle size of the active material particles in the active coating, the smaller the compaction density of the coating, the higher the ion passage efficiency, and thus the higher the battery's kinetic performance. Therefore, by controlling the active material particles of the first active coating 210 and the second active coating 220 to satisfy the ratio of D502 to D501 being greater than or equal to 1.3, it is possible to ensure the battery's kinetic performance without damaging the material structure and without reducing the battery's self-discharge performance and lifespan.
[0031] Specifically, in some embodiments, the second direction can be the length direction of the current collector 100, that is, the first active coating 210 and the second active coating 220 are alternately arranged along the length direction of the current collector 100, the total width of the plurality of first active coatings 210 and the plurality of second active coatings 220 is equal to the length of the current collector 100, and the length of the first active coating 210 and the length of the second active coating 220 are equal to the width of the current collector 100.
[0032] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the negative electrode sheet provided in another embodiment of this application. The second direction can also be the width direction of the current collector 100, that is, the first active coating 210 and the second active coating 220 are alternately arranged along the width direction of the current collector 100. The total width of the plurality of first active coatings 210 and the plurality of second active coatings 220 is equal to the width of the current collector 100. The length of the first active coating 210 and the length of the second active coating 220 are equal to the length of the current collector 100.
[0033] It should be noted that the particle size of the active material particles in the first active coating 210 and the active material particles in the second active coating 220 are determined by screening equipment. The smaller the particle size, the more difficult the screening becomes. At the same time, the greater the dispersion of the particle size distribution of the active material particles in the active coating, the worse the improvement effect of the kinetic performance of the active coating. Therefore, the value range of Ds2 should be 1.5 to 10 (inclusive). Similarly, in order to ensure the improvement effect of the kinetic performance of the negative electrode, the ratio of Ds2 to Ds1 is preferably 0.1 to 0.5 (inclusive).
[0034] It should be noted that the smaller the particle size of the active material particles in the active coating, the more difficult the screening is, and the larger the particle size of the active material particles in the active coating, the lower the energy density of the battery is, in addition, the larger the particle size of the active material particles in the active coating, the higher the risk of the active coating being broken in the rolling process, therefore, the ratio of D502 / D501 is preferably in the range of 1.3 to 2 (including 1.3 and 2).
[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first active coating 210 and the second active coating 220 satisfy any one of the conditions of 0.1≤Ds2 / Ds1≤0.5, 1.3≤D502 / D501≤2 and 1.5≤Ds2≤10.
[0036] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first active coating 210 and the second active coating 220 satisfy any two of the conditions of 0.1≤Ds2 / Ds1≤0.5, 1.3≤D502 / D501≤2 and 1.5≤Ds2≤10.
[0037] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first active coating 210 and the second active coating 220 satisfy all of the conditions of 0.1≤Ds2 / Ds1≤0.5, 1.3≤D502 / D501≤2 and 1.5≤Ds2≤10.
[0038] It can be understood that, since the particle size of the active material of the second active coating 220 is larger than that of the first active coating 210, the larger the width of the first active coating 210, the larger the energy density of the battery is, but since the width of the first active coating 210 is increased, the width of the second active coating 220 is reduced under the condition that the length of the current collector 100 is unchanged, and the reduction of the width of the second active coating 220 reduces the ion diffusion rate and the storage space of the electrolyte, thereby causing the kinetic performance of the battery to decrease. Therefore, the ratio of W1 to W2 should be less than or equal to 5, wherein the width of the first active coating 210 is W1 mm, and the width of the second active coating 220 is W2 mm.
[0039] Specifically, in order to ensure the energy density of the battery while providing a higher ion diffusion rate and more electrolyte storage space, the width W2 of the second active coating 220 can be controlled in the range of 1 millimeter to 3 millimeters and / or the ratio of the width W1 of the first active coating 210 to the width W2 of the second active coating 220 is less than or equal to 5 but greater than or equal to 1.
[0040] It can be understood that the active material of the first active coating 210 and the active material of the second active coating 220 can be at least one of artificial graphite, natural graphite, hard carbon, and silicon-based materials, wherein the active material of the first active coating 210 and the active material of the second active coating 220 are the same substance. The conductive agent is at least one of conductive carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene; and the binder is at least one of butadiene rubber, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and polymethyl methacrylate. In some embodiments, the active material includes a silicon-carbon material with a core-shell structure or a silicon-carbon material with porous carbon deposited silicon.
[0041] Specifically, in some embodiments, the active material used in the active coating includes a silicon-carbon material with a core-shell structure or a silicon-carbon material with porous carbon deposited silicon. If the laser drilling method is used to improve the kinetic performance of the battery, the carbon matrix around the nano-silicon and the coating layer on the surface of the composite material will be damaged during the laser drilling process, thereby directly exposing the active nano-silicon to the air and electrolyte environment, and reducing the service life of the battery. However, the technical solution of the present application, in which the plurality of first active coatings 210 and the plurality of second active coatings 220 are alternately arranged, and the ratio of Ds2 to Ds1 is less than or equal to 0.5, and the ratio of D502 to D501 is greater than or equal to 1.3, will not damage the carbon matrix around the nano-silicon and the coating layer on the surface of the composite material.

Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the examples of the present application are conventional methods; and unless otherwise specified, other materials and reagents used in the examples of the present application are commercially available.

[0096] Charged at 0.5C rate constant current to voltage reaches 4.0V at room temperature, further charged at 4.0V constant voltage to current less than 0.05C, then put into 45℃ environment for 24h, then into 25℃ environment for 24h, record the voltage after storage as OCV1, finally put the battery in 25℃ for 48h, record the voltage after storage as OCV2, and calculate K value. Wherein, K value=(OCV2-OCV1) / 48h, unit: mV / h.
[0097] The results are shown in Table 3:
[0098] K value Percent change in K value Example 1 0.0229 -5.80% Example 2 0.0233 -4.10% Example 3 0.0239 -1.60% Example 4 0.0238 -2.10% Example 5 0.0231 -4.90% Example 6 0.0233 -4.10% Example 7 0.0235 -3.30% Example 8 0.0242 -0.40% Comparative Example 1 0.0241 -0.80% Comparative Example 2 0.0239 -1.60% Comparative Example 3 0.0243 0.00% Comparative Example 4 0.0311 28%
[0099] Wherein, the larger the K value, the higher the self-discharge rate, the K value change percentage=(the K value of each group of examples or comparative examples-the K value of comparative example 3) / the K value of comparative example 3*100%, the smaller the K value change percentage, the smaller the K value, and the better the self-discharge performance.
[0100] As can be seen from Table 2, both the application and laser drilling can improve the dynamic performance of the battery and reduce the risk of lithium precipitation. However, as can be seen from Table 3, laser drilling will have a greater impact on self-discharge while improving the dynamic performance of the battery, while the application can effectively improve the self-discharge performance while improving the dynamic performance of the battery. The higher the self-discharge rate of the battery, the faster it will lose its capacity during storage, which not only affects the battery's endurance, but also may cause the battery to fail to meet the expected power demand after a long period of non-use, resulting in a decrease in the battery's service life.
