Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a negative electrode slurry and a preparation method thereof, and a lithium secondary battery and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a negative electrode slurry for reducing the internal resistance of a battery and a preparation method thereof, and a lithium secondary battery comprising the negative electrode slurry and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of lithium ion batteries. BACKGROUND
[0002] The direct current resistance of a lithium ion battery is mainly composed of ohmic impedance, charge transfer resistance and charge transport resistance. Among them, the charge transfer resistance is mainly contributed by the shuttle of lithium ions between the interface electrolyte layer between the positive electrode, the negative electrode active material particles and the electrolyte. And Li + The impedance of the SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode is the main contribution to the charge transfer resistance, which is greatly affected by the structure and thickness of the SEI film.
[0003] The prior art mainly realizes the regulation of the structure and composition of the SEI film through surface modification / modification of the negative electrode main material, electrolyte composition and formation strategy. The regulation content includes the composition of the SEI film, such as the ratio and composition of organic / inorganic components, and the regulation of the overall thickness of the SEI film. Such regulation technology mainly focuses on: (1) the use of solvents, organic small molecule additives and lithium salt additives in the electrolyte, which realizes the protection of the negative electrode surface SEI film through the specific oxidation-reduction reaction of the additives; (2) the introduction of artificial SEI film, such as organic polymer, organic small molecule coated graphite or negative electrode sheet surface layer; (3) formation system regulation.
[0004] Some documents disclose a negative electrode slurry which improves the cycle stability and conductivity of the battery by adding sodium alginate and cyclodextrin as organic additives. However, the introduction of organic small molecule additives may cause the SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode to thicken, causing the battery resistance to increase.
[0005] Some documents disclose a negative electrode slurry comprising a negative electrode material, a conductive agent, a binder and a stable lithium salt, wherein the stable lithium salt comprises inorganic additives such as lithium fluoride, lithium carbonate, lithium phosphate, lithium oxalate or lithium nitrate. By introducing the stable lithium salt, a degradation reaction occurs during the first charge and discharge of the battery to form a coating on the negative electrode, which can reduce the loss of lithium ions in the first charge and discharge of the positive electrode, thereby improving the energy density of the lithium battery, and also helps to improve the cycle performance of the battery. However, due to the low adhesion between inorganic particles and graphite, the contact between the formed protective layer and the negative electrode material is limited, so the improvement degree of the SEI film structure is limited.
[0006] It can be seen that although the prior art has made certain research on the regulation of the composition of the negative electrode slurry to control the structure of the SEI film, it is not sufficient to reduce the battery resistance, and there is still room for further research. SUMMARY
[0007] The invention addresses the problem
[0008] As described above, it is necessary to provide a negative electrode slurry with appropriate components and a slurry preparation process to achieve the optimization and thickness control of the SEI film structure on the surface of the negative electrode to achieve the purpose of reducing the internal resistance of the battery.

[0076] <First aspect>
[0077] The first aspect of the present application provides a negative electrode slurry including a negative electrode active material, a conductive agent, a binder, and a composite additive,
[0078] The composite additive includes a combination of an organic additive and an inorganic additive,

Cyclodextrin has a cavity that can accommodate lithium ions in the inorganic additive, thereby improving the binding force with the inorganic additive. Among the cyclodextrins, β-cyclodextrin is preferred, mainly because β-cyclodextrin has a more suitable cavity volume and can better accommodate lithium ions in the inorganic additive, thereby exhibiting a higher binding force between the organic additive and the inorganic additive.
[0082] In some specific embodiments, the alcohol amine compound can include one or more of a methanol amine compound, an ethanol amine compound, a propanol amine compound, and the like, and preferably an ethanol amine compound, and more preferably the ethanol amine compound can include one or more of ethanol amine, diethanol amine, triethanol amine, and the like, and preferably diethanol amine.

[0304] Performance test
[0305] The lithium secondary batteries obtained in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1-12 are subjected to DCR testing, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0307]
[0308]
[0309] As can be seen from Table 1, by comparing Examples 1-9 with Comparative Example 1, the use of composite additive can significantly reduce the internal resistance of the battery, with a reduction of 2%-12.4%.
[0310] From the comparison of Examples 1-4, it can be seen that the order of adding the organic additive and the inorganic additive in the composite additive greatly affects the battery internal resistance, and the optimal effect of reducing the battery internal resistance is achieved by adding the organic additive step by step and adding the inorganic additive in the middle. At the same time, the effect of adding the organic additive first and then adding the inorganic additive is obviously better than that of adding the inorganic additive first and then adding the organic additive or mixing the two and then adding.
[0311] From the comparison of Example 2 and Example 5, it can be seen that when the content of the composite additive exceeds a certain value, the further reduction of the battery internal resistance has no promoting effect.
[0312] From Examples 6 and 7, it can be seen that the effect of reducing the internal resistance can be achieved by one or more different specific organic additives and inorganic additives. The most preferred combination is the combination of LiNO3 and β-cyclodextrin.
[0313] From the comparison of Example 2 and Examples 10-12, it can be seen that by optimizing the formation process, the battery internal resistance can be further reduced by 12%-17%.
