Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pre-lithiation of battery cells, and in particular relates to a device and a composite method for a lithium surface protective layer of a lithium-copper composite sheet. Background Art
[0002] With the development of electronic products, new energy vehicles and energy storage industries, human beings have higher and higher requirements for the energy density of lithium batteries. In recent years, people have become more and more urgent to develop batteries with high energy density, so the lithium replenishment technology of lithium-ion batteries has been paid more and more attention by scientific research institutions and enterprises. When lithium-ion batteries are charged for the first time, lithium ions are released from the positive electrode through the electrolyte and the diaphragm to the surface of the negative electrode, and a layer of SEI film (solid electrolyte interface film) will be formed on the surface of the negative electrode. The formation of SEI film will consume a large amount of lithium ions. Due to the non-dense growth of SEI film and the large volume expansion and contraction of positive and negative electrode materials during the cycle, some components of SEI film can be dissolved in the electrolyte, resulting in the continuous growth of SEI film on the surface of positive and negative electrodes, which continuously consumes lithium ions in the battery. Therefore, if lithium ions can be continuously replenished for the battery during the first charge and discharge of the battery and the subsequent charge and discharge cycles to reduce the loss of active lithium in the lithium battery, scientific research institutions and enterprises have begun to develop various pre-lithium technologies to replenish lithium batteries.
[0003] At present, there are several types of pre-lithiation technologies: in-situ doping pre-lithiation, contact pre-lithiation, electrochemical pre-lithiation and chemical pre-lithiation. Among them, the use of lithium metal to electrochemically pre-lithiate the negative electrode is a pre-lithiation strategy that is currently widely studied and adopted, including direct contact pre-lithiation, external short-circuit pre-lithiation, external power supply pre-lithiation and other methods. The electrochemical pre-lithiation of lithium metal composited on the negative electrode of the outermost battery cell will undergo multiple processes such as bare battery cell baking, liquid injection, static, and formation during the production line production process. In the vacuum steps of these processes, they will be exposed to nitrogen and moisture in the air. Especially in the baking process, under high temperature environment, lithium is very easy to react with nitrogen and water to nitride, causing the function of lithium to be destroyed. Therefore, people proposed to add a protective layer on the surface of lithium to protect it, so that the pre-lithium battery cell will not react with nitrogen and water during the production process. At the same time, the protective layer cannot affect the electrical performance and safety performance of the lithium battery during the charging and discharging process.
[0004] However, currently, manual lamination is usually used to produce the surface protective layer of lithium-copper composite belts. Manual lamination will cause problems such as poor effect and low efficiency, and is not suitable for industrial production. Summary of the invention

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, both vacuum suction plate 1 and vacuum suction plate 2 are made of conductive metal materials and are grounded.
[0015] A composite method for a lithium copper composite sheet lithium surface protection layer, the steps are as follows:
[0016] S1: Place the device in a low humidity and dry environment;
[0017] S2: The vacuum suction device sucks the lithium tape from the material box and drives the lithium tape to be transferred from E to the vacuum suction plate at D, and makes the long side of the lithium tape perpendicular to the unwinding direction of the protective layer and the narrow side parallel to the unwinding direction of the protective layer;

[0020] S5: After the test is qualified, the pressing roller descends from position A to press the protective layer and the lithium belt tightly, and then rolls from left to right to position B to complete the protective layer compounding;
[0021] S6: The clamp takes the composite product and passes it through the clamp and the position movement detection device. After the position movement detection device detects the quality of the product, the clamp holds the protective layer and the cutter cuts off the protective layer;
[0022] S7: The fixture clamps the product and transfers it to the vacuum suction plate 2, and the vacuum suction device 1 sucks the product on the vacuum suction plate 2 and transfers it to the receiving box.

A person of ordinary skill in the art will be able to implement the present invention based on these descriptions. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention involved in the following description are generally only embodiments of a part of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Therefore, based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without making creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials used in the examples of the present invention are all commercially available or available to those skilled in the art; unless otherwise specified, the methods used in the examples of the present invention are all methods known to those skilled in the art.
[0032] refer to Figure 1 A device for forming a lithium surface protective layer of a lithium copper composite sheet, comprising a winding device 1 for winding a protective layer 2 and a clamp 13 for clamping the protective layer 2, and a composite component, a fixed cutting component and a material receiving component are sequentially arranged on the right side of the winding device 1. The composite component comprises a vacuum suction plate 6, and a pressure roller 4 for pressing and compounding the protective layer 2 and the lithium strip 5 and a CCD detection device 7 for detecting the relative position of the lithium strip 5 and the protective layer 2 are installed above the vacuum suction plate 6 to ensure that the protective layer 2 is wider than the edge of the lithium strip 5, and a material box 14 for holding the lithium strip 5 is installed at E on one side of the vacuum suction plate 6, and a vacuum suction device 2 15 for transferring the lithium strip 5 from the material box 14 to the vacuum suction plate 6 is installed above the material box 14, and the protective layer 2 is located between the lithium strip 5 and the pressure roller 4.
[0033] Preferably, two groups of guide rollers 3 are installed between the winding device 1 and the composite component, and the bottom end of the lower group of guide rollers 3 is higher than the top of the vacuum suction plate 6 and lower than the bottom end of the guide roller 4.
[0034] The clamp 13 pulls the protective layer 2 through the two sets of guide rollers 3 to the composite assembly in turn to composite the lithium strip 5 and the protective layer 2 into a product, the fixed cutting assembly cuts and separates the product from the protective layer 2, and the clamp 13 transfers the separated product to the receiving assembly for collection. Composite process: The vacuum suction device 15 absorbs the lithium strip 5 from the material box 14, and drives the lithium strip 5 to transfer from E to the vacuum suction plate 6 at D (vacuum suction plate 1 6), the CCD detection device 7 detects the relative position of the lithium strip 5 and the protective layer 2, and then the pressure roller 4 descends from position A (CCD detection device 7 close to the winding device 1 side) to press the protective layer 2 and the lithium strip 5, and then rolls from left to right to position B (CCD detection device 7 close to the fixed cutting assembly side) to complete the protective layer composite process, and after the composite is completed, the pressure roller 4 returns to position A, where the horizontal distance between A and B is not less than the length of the lithium strip 5.
[0035] The two sides of the lithium strip 5 are respectively a copper foil side and a lithium side, and the lithium side is composited with the protective layer 2 .
[0036] The lithium surface is located between the protective layer 2 and the copper foil surface and is not in contact with the air, which can ensure that it is not in contact with the air during assembly processes such as baking, thereby playing a protective role.
[0037] The protective layer 2 includes a barrier substrate and an adhesive layer coated on the barrier substrate and loses adhesion when immersed in an electrolyte. One side of the adhesive layer of the protective layer 2 is composited with the inside of the lithium strip 5 .
[0038] The adhesive layer is compounded with the lithium surface to make the protective layer 2 and the lithium strip 5 firmly bonded, ensuring that the lithium strip 5 does not come into contact with the air during the assembly process such as baking. However, in the battery cell after assembly, the protective layer 2 loses adhesion and falls off under the immersion of electrolyte to ensure that the lithium strip 5 can normally replenish lithium in the battery cell.
[0039] Preferably, the width of the protective layer 2 is 0-2 cm wider than the edges of the lithium ribbon 5 on both sides.
[0040] The extra portion of the protective layer 2 on both sides of the lithium strip can effectively protect the metallic lithium and prevent the lithium surface from coming into contact with the air and reacting.
[0041] Preferably, the outermost layer material of the pressure roller 4 is a soft cushioning material, and the soft cushioning material includes but is not limited to rubber, sponge, flannel, etc.; a pressure sensor is installed inside the pressure roller 4.
[0042] The outermost layer of the pressing roller 4 is made of soft buffer material to ensure that there is buffering when the protective layer and the lithium strip are pressed without damaging the thickness of the protective layer and the lithium strip; the pressure sensor feeds back the pressure when the pressing roller 4 descends and presses the protective layer 2 and the lithium strip 5, so as to compare the pressure parameters set for the protective layer 2 and the lithium strip 5.
[0043] The fixed cutting assembly includes a clamping plate 8 for fixing the protective layer 2, a position movement detection device 9 and a cutter 10. The clamping plate 8, the position movement detection device 9 and the cutter 10 are sequentially close to the material receiving assembly.
[0044] After the compounding is completed, the clamp 13 clamps the product through the clamping plate 8 and the position movement detection device 9. After the position movement detection device 9 detects the protective layer 2, the clamping plate 8 clamps the protective layer 2 and the cutter 10 cuts off the protective layer 2.
[0045] The material receiving assembly includes a vacuum suction plate 12 , a material receiving box 16 is installed on one side of the vacuum suction plate 12 , and also includes a vacuum suction device 11 that can transfer the product from the vacuum suction plate 12 to the material receiving box 16 .
[0046] The clamp 13 clamps the product and transfers it to the vacuum suction plate 12 , and the vacuum suction device 11 sucks the product on the vacuum suction plate 12 and transfers it to the material receiving box 16 .
[0047] As a preferred solution, the vacuum suction device 11 and the vacuum suction device 2 15 use vacuum suction disks.
[0048] The vacuum suction device 11 and the vacuum suction device 2 15 avoid damaging the lithium belt 5 by vacuum suction.
[0049] The vacuum suction plate 1 6 and the vacuum suction plate 2 12 are both made of conductive metal materials and are grounded. The metal materials include but are not limited to common metal materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy.
[0050] The metal material and grounded vacuum suction plate 1 6 and vacuum suction plate 2 12 can remove the static electricity generated when the protective layer 2 is close to the metal lithium, and prevent the protective layer 2 from automatically adsorbing on the lithium belt 5 under the action of static electricity, causing the protective layer 2 to wrinkle.
[0051] refer to Figure 1 , a composite method for a lithium copper composite sheet lithium surface protection layer, the steps are as follows:
[0052] S1: Place the device in a low humidity and dry environment;
[0053] S2: The vacuum suction device 15 sucks the lithium ribbon 5 from the material box 14, and drives the lithium ribbon 5 to be transferred from position E to the vacuum suction plate 6 at position D, and makes the long side of the lithium ribbon 5 perpendicular to the unwinding direction of the protective layer 2, and the narrow side is parallel to the unwinding direction of the protective layer 2;
[0054] S3: The clamp 13 pulls the protective layer 2 through two sets of guide rollers 3 and then passes over the lithium belt 5;
[0055] S4: The CCD detection device 7 detects the relative position of the lithium ribbon 5 and the protective layer 2, ensuring that the protective layer 2 is 0-2CM more than the edges of the two sides of the lithium ribbon 5, and ensuring that the copper foil is left as the tab at the same position as the narrow side of the lithium ribbon 5 and the negative tab of the battery cell;
[0056] S5: After the test is qualified, the pressing roller 4 descends from position A to press the rubber layer of the protective layer 2 and the lithium surface of the lithium belt 5 tightly, and then rolls from left to right to position B to complete the protective layer compounding;
[0057] S6: The clamp 13 takes the composite product and passes it through the clamp 8 and the position movement detection device 9. After the position movement detection device 9 detects the quality of the product, the clamp 8 clamps the protective layer 2, and the cutter 10 cuts off the protective layer 2;
[0058] S7: The clamp 13 clamps the product and transfers it to the vacuum suction plate 12, and the vacuum suction device 11 sucks the product on the vacuum suction plate 12 and transfers it to the material receiving box 16.
[0059] The temperature of the low humidity environment described in S1 should control the dew point to be -40°C or below to ensure the normal performance of the lithium ribbon material used.
[0060] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail by the following examples. However, the following examples and test examples are provided for illustrating the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by these examples and test examples.
[0061] Example 1
[0062] <Battery Preparation>
[0063] The composited protective layer lithium strip product is collected for use, wherein the size of lithium strip 5 is 144*63mm, the thickness of lithium strip 5 is 100μm, and the weight is 0.6g; the battery cell system adopts a stacked core LFP / C system, wherein LFP is lithium iron phosphate and C is graphite; the formula of protective layer 2 is PET-AA (polyethylene terephthalate barrier substrate-acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer), wherein the thickness of the polyethylene terephthalate substrate is 12μm, and the thickness of the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is 6μm.
[0064] The width of the protective layer 2 is 154 mm. When compounded, the width of the protective layer 2 is 5 mm more than the upper and lower sides of the lithium belt 5 with a length of 144 mm, and the length of the protective layer 2 is 73 mm more than the left and right sides of the lithium belt 5 with a width of 63 mm.
[0065] The composite protective layer lithium strip product and the battery cell composite method are as follows: the copper pole ear on the lithium strip 5 is welded with the negative electrode of the battery cell, and the assembled battery cell is baked. After baking, the protective layer 2 is checked for the effect of protecting the lithium strip 5 and the moisture content, and the liquid is injected and packaged into a soft pack battery with a nominal capacity of 22Ah; after high-temperature pre-lithiation, it is formed and aged at a temperature of (45±3)℃; after the second injection, the capacity is divided and the cycle test is carried out at room temperature (25±3)℃, and the cycle test current is 1C (22A). If the protection is unqualified, the lithium strip 5 reacts with nitrogen at high temperature during the baking process to generate lithium nitride in reddish brown, and loses the pre-lithiation effect; the lithium strip 5 protection records the first coulomb efficiency after capacity division, the cycle capacity retention rate performance, and the disassembly of the fully charged battery cell after 800 cycles.
[0066] Example 2
[0067] The difference from Example 1 is that the lithium ribbon 5 has a thickness of 200 μm and a weight of 1.2 g.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] The difference from Example 1 is that the formula of the protective layer 2 is PET-PU (polyethylene terephthalate barrier substrate-polyurethane pressure-sensitive adhesive layer), wherein the polyethylene terephthalate substrate has a thickness of 12 μm and the polyurethane pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a thickness of 6 μm.
[0070] Example 4
[0071] The difference from Example 1 is that the lithium strip 5 is 200 μm thick and weighs 1.2 g; the formula of the protective layer 2 is PET-PU, wherein the polyethylene terephthalate substrate is 12 μm thick and the polyurethane pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is 6 μm thick.
[0072] Example 5
[0073] The difference from Example 1 is that the lithium strip 5 is not subjected to the protective layer composite process;
[0074] The process of pre-lithium battery cell trial production is to first bake the battery cell to record the moisture content, and then perform the pre-lithium process of combining the lithium strip 5 with the battery cell. The other processes thereafter are the same as those in Example 1.
[0075] Example 6
[0076] The difference from Example 1 is that the lithium strip 5 is not subjected to the protective layer composite process, and the thickness of the lithium strip 5 is 200 μm and the weight is 1.2 g;
[0077] The process of pre-lithium battery cell trial production is to first bake the battery cell to record the moisture content, and then perform the pre-lithium process of combining the lithium strip 5 with the battery cell. The other processes thereafter are the same as those in Example 1.
[0078] The conditions of the above embodiments are recorded, and the parameters are recorded under the same conditions and organized into a table, as shown in the following Table 1:
[0079]
[0080] In Examples 1-4, after the cells were baked, the lithium ribbon 5 was observed to be silver-white in color, and no reaction of the lithium ribbon occurred after baking, indicating that the protective layer lithium ribbon product obtained by compounding the lithium ribbon 5 using this method can protect the lithium ribbon 5 .
[0081] In Examples 1 and 2, the thickness of the lithium ribbons used were different, but the cells remained unreacted after baking, indicating that lithium ribbons 5 of different thicknesses within a certain range can be protected by this composite method.
[0082] Examples 1, 2 and Examples 3, 4 use different adhesive layers in the formula of the protective layer 2. There is little difference in the first efficiency and capacity retention rate of the battery cells after baking and the battery test, indicating that changing the formula of the protective layer 2 and using this method can still protect the lithium strip 5 without affecting the battery performance.
[0083] In terms of the first effect and the disassembly after 800 cycles, the first effect and the consumption of lithium strip 5 of Examples 1-4 with lithium strip protection and Examples 5-6 without lithium strip protection are roughly the same, indicating that the pre-lithium battery cells produced by this composite method do not affect the pre-lithium battery performance data.
