Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of battery materials, and specifically, relates to a carbon-coated current collector, a preparation method thereof, and a secondary battery. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely accepted in many fields such as consumer electronics, transportation, power tools, and energy storage. The current collector is an indispensable component of lithium-ion batteries, playing an important role in carrying active materials (load-bearing property) and collecting microcurrents (conductivity). To adapt to the rapid development of lithium-ion batteries, current collector technology is constantly innovating. The composite current collector with a "metal-polymer substrate-metal" sandwich structure has subverted the traditional foil current collector. Compared with the traditional foil current collector, the composite current collector has a series of advantages such as lower cost and higher safety. In addition, in order to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries in the lithium battery industry, a strategy of preparing a carbon-coated current collector by adding a carbon-coated layer on the surface of the current collector is adopted to improve other electrochemical properties such as the rate performance of lithium-ion batteries.
[0003] During the process of storing and applying the current collector in lithium-ion production, processes such as slitting and winding are generally involved. The stress exerted on the current collector by the machinery and equipment used in the above processes during the above processes may cause irreversible deformation of the current collector, resulting in deterioration of the performance of the current collector. Severe deformation may even cause the current collector to fail. In particular, compared with the traditional foil current collector, the mechanical strength of the composite current collector based on a polymer substrate is worse, making the adverse effects of external stress on the composite current collector more obvious. In summary, it is necessary to improve the resistance of the current collector to external adverse stress through material development and research. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to balance the conductivity of the current collector and achieve the improvement of the structural stability and moisture and heat resistance of the current collector, the present invention provides a carbon-coated current collector, a preparation method thereof, and a secondary battery.
[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a carbon-coated current collector is provided. The carbon-coated current collector includes a conductive substrate and a carbon-coated layer; the carbon-coated layer includes a conductive agent and a fiber reinforcement material. The percentage of the mass of the fiber reinforcement material in the mass of the conductive agent is 5% to 30%. The fiber reinforcement material includes reinforcing fibers and a resin material. The reinforcing fibers include glass fibers and carbon fibers; the mass ratio of carbon fibers to glass fibers is ≥4; the percentage of the mass of glass fibers in the mass of the conductive agent is 0.2% to 5%. The reinforcing fibers adopted in this solution all have the characteristics of high strength, high stiffness, low density, and good corrosion resistance. Among them, glass fibers have obvious advantages in mechanical properties, while carbon fibers have excellent electrical conductivity. Using carbon fibers and glass fibers in combination can significantly improve the toughness of the carbon-coated layer while maintaining good electrical conductivity of the carbon-coated layer. By strengthening the structural stability of the current collector through the carbon-coated layer with high toughness, adverse mechanical deformations of the current collector caused by external stress can be reduced. On the other hand, glass fibers are sensitive to humidity and are prone to corrosion and degradation in a high-humidity environment. By using carbon fibers and glass fibers in combination, the sensitivity of glass fibers to humidity can be effectively reduced, so that the carbon-coated current collector provided by this solution has good moisture resistance. In addition, this solution uses a resin material and a reinforcing material to jointly form a fiber reinforcement material. The resin material provides protection for the reinforcing fibers, and can significantly improve the high-temperature resistance characteristics of the carbon-coated current collector, reducing adverse deformations of the carbon-coated layer and the carbon-coated current collector caused by thermodynamical residual stress. In summary, by constructing a fiber reinforcement material with carbon fibers, glass fibers and a resin material and introducing the above fiber reinforcement material into the carbon-coated layer of the carbon-coated current collector, this solution can keep the carbon-coated layer with good electrical conductivity, significantly improve the toughness of the carbon-coated layer, and further improve the resistance of the carbon-coated current collector to external stress. And this carbon-coated current collector has good high-temperature resistance and moisture resistance, so that this carbon-coated current collector can well adapt to different external environments and maintain good structural stability.
[0006] Preferably, the conductive agent includes at least one of graphite and carbon black.
[0007] Preferably, the conductive agent includes carbon black and graphite. Calculated by mass percentage, in the conductive agent, the proportion of carbon black is 70% to 90%, and the proportion of graphite is 10% to 30%.
[0008] Preferably, the thickness of the conductive substrate is 8 μm to 12 μm.
[0009] Preferably, the conductive substrate is composed of a metal layer, a polymer substrate, and a metal layer arranged in sequence. When the structure of the conductive substrate meets the above characteristics, the current collector belongs to a composite current collector. In the composite current collector, the thickness of the polymer substrate can generally reach 4 μm to 8 μm. After adding metal layers on both sides of the polymer substrate, the thickness of the conductive substrate can reach 8 μm to 12 μm. However, the composite current collector based on the polymer substrate shows deficiencies in toughness and conductivity compared with the traditional foil current collector. In this solution, by applying a carbon-coated layer with high toughness and high conductivity to the composite current collector, the structural strength and conductivity of the composite current collector can be effectively improved, which is beneficial to giving full play to the advantages of the composite current collector.
[0010] Preferably, the thickness of any carbon-coated layer reaches 2 μm to 6 μm.
[0011] Preferably, in the carbon-coated current collector, the total thickness of the carbon-coated layer reaches more than 50% of the thickness of the conductive substrate. This can enable the mechanical superiority of the carbon-coated layer to be better reflected in the conductive substrate.
[0012] Preferably, the preparation of the above fiber-reinforced material includes the following steps: S1. Mix the reinforcing fiber and the resin material in proportion to obtain a premix; S2. Perform cryogenic treatment on the premix, and the treatment temperature of the cryogenic treatment is -210°C to -190°C; S3. Extrude the premix that has undergone cryogenic treatment; S4. Heat the premix to first transform it into a flowable slurry state and then cure the premix into a molded form. In the above preparation process, by performing cryogenic treatment on the premix, the following effects can be achieved: ① The adhesiveness of the resin material can be reduced, the wettability performance of the carbon fiber can be improved, and the bonding strength between the reinforcing fiber and the resin material can be increased; ② It is beneficial to improve the mechanical stability of the reinforcing fiber, including improving strength and stiffness, etc., avoiding damage during the processing process, and also reducing the deformation and warping of the carbon-coated current collector; ③ The fluidity of the resin material is reduced, so that the controllability of the processing of the carbon-coated layer is improved, the quality stability of the carbon-coated layer is improved, and the yield of high-quality products is increased. If the fluidity of the resin material is too high, during the preparation of the carbon-coated current collector, the processing controllability of the fiber-reinforced material containing the resin material is poor, and it is easy to cause structural defects in the carbon-coated layer.
[0013] Preferably, in S2, the cryogenic treatment conditions involved can be realized by using liquid nitrogen as the cryogenic medium. Specifically, the premix is put into liquid nitrogen for 2 to 5 minutes and then taken out.
[0014] Preferably, the process of preparing the fiber-reinforced material further includes pre-treating the reinforcing fibers before step S1. The pre-treating includes heating the reinforcing fibers at a temperature of 400° C. to 900° C. The pre-treating operation can reduce the toughness of the reinforcing fibers to a certain extent, thereby promoting uniform mixing of the reinforcing fibers and the resin material.
[0015] Preferably, when the reinforcing fiber is glass fiber, the heating temperature in the pretreatment is 400°C to 600°C; when the reinforcing fiber is carbon fiber, the heating temperature in the pretreatment is 700°C to 900°C.
[0016] Preferably, the process of preparing the fiber-reinforced material further includes, before S1, subjecting the resin material to viscosity adjustment, including the following operations: immersing the resin material in an alcohol solvent, allowing the resin material to stand, and then removing the resin material. The viscosity adjustment step reduces the viscosity of the resin material, making it easier to mix with the reinforcing fibers and form the resin.
[0017] Preferably, the fiber-reinforced material includes glass fiber-reinforced material and carbon fiber-reinforced material. The glass fiber-reinforced material contains glass fiber as the reinforcing fiber, while the carbon fiber-reinforced material contains carbon fiber as the reinforcing fiber. In the glass fiber-reinforced material, the mass ratio of glass fiber to resin material is 1:4-6; in the carbon fiber-reinforced material, the mass ratio of carbon fiber to resin material is 1:1-3. By combining glass fiber and carbon fiber with resin material to prepare fiber-resin composite reinforcements, the respective ratios of glass fiber and carbon fiber to resin material are determined based on their respective properties. This can further improve the structural strength and heat resistance of the carbon-coated current collector (relieving material deformation caused by thermodynamic residual stress).
[0018] Preferably, the mass ratio of the glass fiber reinforcement material to the carbon fiber reinforcement material is ≥1 / 3.
[0019] Preferably, the resin material includes at least one of epoxy resin material, polyester resin material, and acrylic resin material.
[0020] Preferably, the carbon-coated current collector satisfies at least one of the following a, b, and c:

[0023] c. The percentage of the mass of carbon fiber in the mass of the conductive agent is 0.1% to 0.5%, and the resin material contained in the carbon fiber reinforced material includes at least one of epoxy resin material and polyester resin material.
[0024] According to the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing the above-mentioned carbon-coated current collector, including the following operations: preparing a carbon-coated slurry, and coating the carbon-coated slurry on the surface of the conductive substrate to form a carbon-coated layer on the surface of the conductive substrate; during the process of preparing the carbon-coated slurry, the feeding sequence of the conductive agent and the fiber reinforcing material is as follows: first, part of the conductive agent is added to the glue containing the binder, then the glass fiber reinforcing material is added, and then the remaining conductive agent is added. After the addition of the conductive agent is completed, the carbon fiber reinforcing material is added. During the above process of preparing the carbon-coated slurry, the conductive agent is added in two portions, which is beneficial to accurately control the viscosity of the slurry and prevent the slurry from thickening sharply. The glass fiber and the carbon fiber are added to the slurry in sequence before and after the addition of the conductive agent, respectively. Thus, the two different reinforcing fibers can be evenly interspersed in the conductive agent, improving the dispersibility of the carbon-coated slurry. In summary, based on the method for preparing the carbon-coated slurry adopted in this solution, the coating performance of the carbon-coated slurry can be improved, which is beneficial to the better functioning of the carbon-coated layer. The binder adopted above may include at least one of acrylate, polyacrylic acid, modified polyacrylic acid, and waterborne polyurethane.

Aside from the above differences, the materials used in this example and other specific operations in preparing the carbon-coated current collector are strictly consistent with those in Example 1. Based on the above differences, when the polymer substrates used are of the same size, the carbon-coated current collector prepared in this embodiment is compared with the carbon-coated current collector prepared in Example 1. The component composition and mass dosage of the conductive agent in the carbon coating layer, the mass dosage of the glass fiber, and the mass dosage of the carbon fiber remain equal. The only difference in the amount of materials used is the mass dosage of the resin material.

[0112] Comparative Example 1
[0113] This comparative example prepared a carbon-coated current collector with reference to the solution for preparing a carbon-coated current collector in Example 1.

The amount of the carbon fiber reinforcing material used to replace the glass fiber reinforcing material satisfies that the mass of the carbon fiber contained in this part of the carbon fiber reinforcing material is equal to the mass of the glass fiber contained in the replaced glass fiber reinforcing material, thereby obtaining the formulation for preparing the carbon-coated slurry in this comparative example. Among them, the carbon fiber reinforcing material used in this comparative example is consistent with the carbon fiber reinforcing material used in Example 1; correspondingly, in the process of preparing the carbon-coated slurry in this comparative example, based on the process of preparing the carbon-coated slurry in Example 1, the feeding of the glass fiber reinforcing material is replaced by the carbon fiber reinforcing material, that is, in the finally prepared carbon-coated slurry, the glass fiber reinforcing material is not contained, but the carbon fiber reinforcing material is contained.

[0116] Comparative Example 3
[0117] This comparative example prepared a carbon-coated current collector with reference to the solution for preparing the carbon-coated current collector in Example 1. The difference from Example 1 is as follows: in the formula for preparing the carbon-coated slurry, there is no carbon fiber reinforcing material, and the carbon fiber reinforcing material in the formula for preparing the carbon-coated slurry in Example 1 is replaced with a glass fiber reinforcing material. The dosage of the glass fiber reinforcing material used to replace the carbon fiber reinforcing material is such that the mass of the glass fibers contained in this part of the glass fiber reinforcing material is equal to the mass of the carbon fibers contained in the replaced carbon fiber reinforcing material. Thus, the formula for preparing the carbon-coated slurry in this comparative example is obtained. Among them, the glass fiber reinforcing material used in this comparative example is the same as that used in Example 1; correspondingly, in the process of preparing the carbon-coated slurry in this comparative example, based on the process of preparing the carbon-coated slurry in Example 1, the feeding of the carbon fiber reinforcing material is replaced with the glass fiber reinforcing material, that is, in the finally prepared carbon-coated slurry, there is no carbon fiber reinforcing material, but there is a glass fiber reinforcing material.

Except for the above differences, the materials and other specific operations used in this comparative example in the process of preparing the carbon-coated current collector are strictly the same as those in Example 1.
[0122] Test Example
[0123] 1. Test Object
[0124] The carbon-coated current collectors prepared in Examples 1 to 15 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were used as the test objects.
[0125] 2. Test Items and Test Methods
[0126] (1)Sheet Resistance Test
[0127] The sheet resistance of the test object was directly measured using a four-probe resistivity meter.
[0128] (2)Elongation Rate Test
[0129] The test object was cut into samples with dimensions of 10 cm × 4 cm. The positive electrode active slurry with lithium iron phosphate as the positive electrode active material was coated on the surface of the samples, and the single-sided coating surface density was 200 g / m 2 . After drying, the test samples were obtained. Then, the test samples were roll-pressed at a compaction density of 2.5 g, and the length changes of the test samples before and after roll-pressing were measured.
[0130] (3)Humidity Sensitivity Test
[0131] The test object was cut into samples with dimensions of 10 cm × 10 cm. The moisture content of the test samples was measured and recorded as X1. Then, the samples were placed in a room with a temperature of 25 °C and a humidity of 50 RH% for 30 days. After that, the moisture content of the test samples was measured and recorded as X2. The formula for calculating the humidity sensitivity rate is: Humidity sensitivity rate = (X2 - X1) × 100% / X1.
[0132] (4)Thermodynamic Deformation Test
[0133] The test object was cut into samples with dimensions of 10 cm × 10 cm. The samples were placed on A4 paper, and the side lengths of the samples in the transverse and longitudinal directions were measured and recorded as L1. The samples were transferred to an oven and baked at 150 °C for 30 min. After the samples cooled down, they were taken out, and the side lengths of the samples in the transverse and longitudinal directions were measured and recorded as L2. The thermal deformation rate of the samples was calculated. Thermal deformation rate = (L1 - L2) × 100% / L1.
[0134] 3. Test Results
[0135] The test results of this test example are shown in Table 1. The test objects of this test example are all carbon-coated current collectors with a carbon-coated layer on the surface of a polymer substrate. Among them, the carbon-coated layers of the carbon-coated current collectors prepared in Examples 1 to 15 all contain glass fiber reinforcing materials and carbon fiber reinforcing materials. Based on the excellent mechanical strength of glass fibers and the excellent electrical conductivity of carbon fibers, the two are combined to jointly participate in the construction of the carbon-coated layer, which can improve the toughness of the carbon-coated layer on the premise of maintaining good electrical conductivity of the carbon-coated layer, and then improve the structural stability of the carbon-coated current collector; in addition, glass fibers are sensitive to humidity and are prone to corrosion and degradation in a high-humidity environment. In Examples 1 to 15, by using carbon fibers and glass fibers in combination, the sensitivity of glass fibers to humidity can be effectively reduced, so that the carbon-coated current collector provided by this solution has good moisture resistance. In the data shown in Table 1, compared with the carbon-coated current collectors prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the carbon-coated current collectors provided in Examples 1 to 15 have lower elongation rates, humidity sensitivity rates, and heat deformation rates. This shows that the carbon-coated current collectors prepared in the examples have good structural stability and resistance to heat and humidity.
[0136] Taking Example 1 as a comparison, by changing the types of fiber reinforcing materials contained in the carbon-coated layer of the carbon-coated current collector, Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were set up. Specifically, the carbon-coated slurries prepared in Comparative Example 1 do not contain glass fibers and carbon fibers, the carbon-coated slurries prepared in Comparative Example 2 do not contain glass fibers, and the carbon-coated slurries prepared in Comparative Example 3 do not contain carbon fibers. Compared with the carbon-coated current collector prepared in Example 1, the comprehensive performance of the carbon-coated current collectors prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 is significantly worse. Among them, only glass fibers are used as the reinforcing material in the carbon-coated slurry prepared in Comparative Example 3. As mentioned above, glass fibers are relatively sensitive to humidity. Based on this, the humidity sensitivity rate measured for the carbon-coated current collector prepared in Comparative Example 3 is significantly higher. Compared with Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 2 uses carbon fiber reinforcing materials to participate in the construction of the carbon-coated layer of the carbon-coated current collector. Although it can reduce the humidity sensitivity rate of the carbon-coated current collector to a certain extent, the effect is not obvious, and the humidity sensitivity rate measured for the carbon-coated current collector prepared in Comparative Example 2 is still relatively high. However, compared with Comparative Examples 2 and 3, in Example 1, carbon fiber reinforcing materials and glass fiber reinforcing materials are used in combination to jointly construct the carbon-coated layer of the carbon-coated current collector, and the two work synergistically, which can significantly reduce the humidity sensitivity rate of the carbon-coated current collector.
[0137] Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 4 were compared. Through conversion, in the process of preparing the carbon-coated current collector, the mass ratio of carbon fiber to glass fiber in the reinforcing fiber ratio used in Example 1 was 8, the mass ratio of carbon fiber to glass fiber in the reinforcing fiber ratio used in Example 2 was 4, the mass ratio of carbon fiber to glass fiber in the reinforcing fiber ratio used in Example 3 was 6, and the mass ratio of carbon fiber to glass fiber in the reinforcing fiber ratio used in Comparative Example 4 was 2. By comparing the test results of the carbon-coated current collectors prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 4 respectively, it can be found that as the mass ratio of carbon fiber to glass fiber increases, the comprehensive performance of the carbon-coated current collector becomes better. When the mass ratio of carbon fiber to glass fiber is less than 4 (Comparative Example 4), the comprehensive performance of the carbon-coated current collector is significantly poor.
[0138] Although the carbon-coated layer of the carbon-coated current collector prepared in Comparative Example 5 contains both glass fiber and carbon fiber, when comparing the test results of the carbon-coated current collector prepared in Comparative Example 5 with that in Example 1, the comprehensive performance of the carbon-coated current collector prepared in Comparative Example 4 is significantly insufficient. This is because in the process of preparing the carbon-coated current collector in Comparative Example 5, the applied reinforcing fiber was not compounded with the resin material to prepare the fiber-reinforced material, but the reinforcing fiber was directly added to the slurry during the preparation of the carbon-coated slurry. Due to the lack of protection of the resin material, it is difficult for the reinforcing fiber to fully play its role under the influence of external factors such as high temperature and high humidity. In particular, the reinforcing fiber itself is difficult to help inhibit the thermodynamic deformation of the carbon-coated current collector. By compounding the reinforcing fiber with the resin material, on the one hand, the resin material can protect the reinforcing material, and on the other hand, it can effectively reduce the deformation problem caused by the thermodynamic residual stress to the material, so that the moisture and heat resistance of the carbon-coated current collector is significantly improved.
[0139] Furthermore, Example 1 was compared with Examples 9 to 11. On the premise of using polymer substrates of the same specification, the mass of glass fiber and the mass of carbon fiber contained in the carbon-coated current collectors prepared in the above examples are equal, but there are still certain differences in the product performance of the carbon-coated current collectors prepared in the above examples. The reason is that there are differences in the ratio of the reinforcing fiber to the resin material in the fiber-reinforced materials used in the above examples. By comparing the test results of the carbon-coated current collectors prepared in the above examples in this test example, it can be seen that for the carbon-coated current collector containing the fiber-reinforced material in the carbon-coated layer, by selecting a fiber-reinforced material with a mass ratio of the resin material to the reinforcing fiber not less than 2, the comprehensive performance of the carbon-coated current collector can be further improved.
[0140] The carbon coating layer of the carbon-coated current collector provided in Example 4 is thinner than that of the carbon-coated current collector provided in Example 1. It can be seen from the test results that the carbon-coated current collector of Example 1 has better structural stability and heat and temperature resistance. Nevertheless, the comprehensive performance of the carbon-coated current collector provided in Example 4 is still significantly better than the comprehensive performance of each of the carbon-coated current collectors provided in Comparative Examples 1-5.
[0141] In Examples 12 and 13, polyester resin and acrylic resin were respectively used as the resin materials for compounding with the reinforcing fibers. Combining with Example 1 (the resin material used was epoxy vinyl resin), it can be seen that using epoxy vinyl resin and polyester resin as the resin materials adopted in this solution is beneficial to improving the carbon-coated current collector to obtain better heat and temperature resistance.
[0142] Comparing Example 1 with Examples 5-8 can reflect the different effects of the differences between the preparation processes of the fiber reinforcing materials on the product performance of the carbon-coated current collector.
[0143] Comparing Example 1 with Example 5, in the process of preparing the fiber reinforcing material in Example 5, the low-temperature treatment of the premix formed by the reinforcing fibers and the resin material was omitted, which led to a relatively obvious increase in the elongation rate of the finally prepared carbon-coated current collector, indicating that the ability of the carbon-coated current collector to resist external forces became worse. This shows that in the process of preparing the fiber reinforcing material, performing low-temperature treatment on the premix formed by mixing the reinforcing fibers and the resin material is beneficial to reducing the degree of deformation of the carbon-coated current collector due to external forces and improving the structural stability of the carbon-coated current collector. Based on the above low-temperature treatment: it can reduce the adhesiveness of the resin material, improve the wettability performance of the carbon fiber, improve the bonding strength between the reinforcing fibers and the resin material, and thus improve the mechanical stability of the carbon-coated current collector, including improving strength and stiffness, etc., avoiding damage during the processing process, and also reducing the occurrence of deformation and warping of the carbon-coated current collector; it can reduce the fluidity of the resin material, thereby improving the controllability of the carbon coating layer processing, improving the quality stability of the carbon coating layer, and increasing the yield of high-quality products. If the fluidity of the resin material is too high, during the process of preparing the carbon-coated current collector, the processing controllability of the fiber reinforcing material containing the resin material is poor, and it is easy to cause structural defects in the carbon coating layer.
[0144] Compared to Example 1, Examples 6-8 differed in the pretreatment procedures applied to the reinforcing fibers before using them to make fiber-reinforced materials. In Example 1, the carbon fibers and glass fibers were subjected to the SO pretreatment described in Example 1, serving as a reference. This pretreatment procedure was omitted in Example 6. Examples 7 and 8 both performed the corresponding pretreatment procedures on the reinforcing fibers, but the pretreatment temperature for the glass fibers in Example 7 was higher, while the pretreatment temperature for the carbon fibers in Example 8 was lower. Judging from the test results, based on the difference in pretreatment operations, the product performance of the carbon-coated current collectors prepared in Example 1 and Examples 6 to 8 respectively constitutes a certain difference. Generally speaking, before preparing the fiber-reinforced material, the glass fiber is pretreated and heated at 400°C to 600°C, and the carbon fiber is pretreated and heated at 700°C to 900°C. This can reduce the toughness of the reinforcing fiber to a certain extent, thereby achieving the effect of promoting the uniform mixing of the reinforcing fiber and the resin material. At the same time, the toughness of the reinforcing fiber is not significantly reduced. The reinforcing fiber can still optimize the structural stability of the carbon-coated current collector, thereby further improving the comprehensive performance of the carbon-coated current collector.
[0145] Comparing Example 1 with Examples 14 and 15 reveals the varying effects that differences in the carbon-coated slurry preparation process have on the product performance of the carbon-coated current collector. In Example 1, during the preparation of the carbon-coated slurry, the conductive agent was added in two stages, while the glass fiber and carbon fiber were added to the slurry sequentially, before and after the addition of the conductive agent. This allowed the two different reinforcing fibers to be evenly interspersed within the conductive agent, improving the dispersion of the carbon-coated slurry. Among the carbon-coated slurries prepared in the aforementioned examples, the one prepared in Example 1 exhibited the best uniformity and coating performance.
