[0004] The present application is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide an electrode plate, a battery and an electrical device.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application proposes an electrode plate, the electrode plate comprising a current collector and a film layer disposed on at least one side of the current collector, the film layer comprising an active material and a plurality of fluorinated polymers,

[0006] The crystallinity of one of the fluorinated polymers is denoted as X. c1 %, and the cold crystallization temperature is recorded as T c1 ℃;

[0007] The crystallinity of another fluorinated polymer among the multiple fluorinated polymers is denoted as X. c2 %, and the cold crystallization temperature is recorded as T c2 ℃,

[0008] Among them, a variety of fluorinated polymers meet the following requirements: 20% ≤ (X c2 -X c1 ) / X c1 <400%,30%≤(T c2 -T c1 ) / T c1 <250%.

[0009] Therefore, the crystallinity X of the first fluorinated polymer in the embodiment of the present application is c1 % is relatively small, the cold crystallization temperature T c1 ℃ is relatively low, the flexibility of the molecular chain is stronger, which is more conducive to the first fluorinated polymer to form an in-situ gel on the surface of the active material particles and improve the solid-liquid interface performance; the first fluorinated polymer and the second fluorinated polymer have similar structures. Compared with the first fluorinated polymer, the crystallinity X of the second fluorinated polymer is c2 % is relatively large, the cold crystallization temperature T c2℃ is relatively high, and the higher the energy required to release the intermolecular constraints, the more conducive it is to improving its own cohesive energy density, reducing swelling and deformation, and enhancing the binding force between active substances; therefore, the embodiments of the present application can effectively improve the cycle performance and storage performance of battery monomers through the mutual cooperation of multiple fluorinated polymers.

[0010] In some embodiments, 40%≤(X c2 -X c1 ) / X c1 <400%; Optionally, X c2 -X c1 ≥10; further optionally, 10≤X c2 -X c1 ≤45.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "plurality" and "multiple" refer to two or more.

[0056] The term "alkyl" encompasses both straight and branched chain alkyl groups. For example, the alkyl group may be a C1 to C5 alkyl group, a C1 to C4 alkyl group, a C1 to C3 alkyl group, a C1 to C2 alkyl group.

The negative electrode plate includes a negative electrode film layer containing a negative electrode active substance. The separator is arranged between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. It mainly prevents the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate from short-circuiting, and allows the active ions to pass freely to form a loop.

[0061] There is a solid-liquid contact interface between the electrode plate and the electrolyte. During the battery's charge and discharge cycle, the electrode plate may expand in volume, causing the interface to be destroyed and a new interface to be formed. The formation of a new interface will lead to the continuous occurrence of interfacial side reactions, deteriorating the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell.

[0062] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application improve the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell from the perspective of improving the interfacial performance of the solid-liquid contact interface. The embodiments of the present application propose an electrode plate, which includes a plurality of fluoropolymers, at least two of which are made of different materials, one of which can form an in-situ gel on the surface of the solid-phase active substance, that is, a stable solid-liquid interface is formed on the surface of the active substance, reducing the risk of side reactions at the solid-liquid interface; however, this fluoropolymer is not conducive to the bonding between the active substances, resulting in poor structural stability of the electrode plate, and another fluoropolymer among the plurality of fluoropolymers can enhance the bonding force between the active substances, play a role in supporting the plate, thereby improving the structural stability of the electrode plate, thereby improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell.

[0063] Next, the technical solution of this application is described in detail.

[0064] Electrode

[0065] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application proposes an electrode plate.

[0066] The electrode plate includes a current collector and a film layer disposed on at least one side of the current collector, the film layer includes an active material and a plurality of fluorinated polymers, and the crystallinity of one of the fluorinated polymers is denoted as X c1 %, and the cold crystallization temperature is recorded as T c1 ℃, the crystallinity of another fluorinated polymer among the multiple fluorinated polymers is recorded as X c2 %, and the cold crystallization temperature is recorded as T c2 ℃, among which, a variety of fluorinated polymers meet: 20% ≤ (X c2 -X c1 ) / X c1 <400%,30%≤(T c2 -T c1 ) / T c1 <250%.

[0067] The electrode sheet may include at least one of a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet; for example, the electrode sheet includes a positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode collector and a positive electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the positive electrode collector, and the positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material and a plurality of fluorinated polymers. For another example, the electrode sheet includes a negative electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode collector and a negative electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the negative electrode collector, and the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material and a plurality of fluorinated polymers. For another example, the electrode sheet includes a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode collector and a positive electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the positive electrode collector, the positive electrode film layer includes a positive electrode active material and a plurality of fluorinated polymers, the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode collector and a negative electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the negative electrode collector, and the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material and a plurality of fluorinated polymers.

[0068] In the present application, each fluoropolymer in the plurality of fluoropolymers is a polymer including fluorine atoms. One of the plurality of fluoropolymers is defined as a first fluoropolymer, and another of the plurality of fluoropolymers is defined as a second fluoropolymer; when the plurality of fluoropolymers also includes a third fluoropolymer, the third fluoropolymer is defined as a third fluoropolymer, and so on. The more types of fluoropolymers there are, the more the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell can be improved by using a plurality of fluoropolymers in combination.

[0069] The first fluoropolymer has good affinity with the electrolyte in the battery cell, and can swell when the first fluoropolymer contacts the electrolyte. The solvent in the electrolyte can quickly diffuse between the molecular chains of the first fluoropolymer and be wrapped by the molecular chains, and can form an in-situ gel on the surface of the active material, and adhere to the surface of the active material to protect the active material, thereby closely connecting the active material and the electrolyte, improving the solid-liquid interface performance, and reducing the side reaction between the active material and the electrolyte. However, due to the poor solvent resistance of the first fluoropolymer, it is not conducive to closely bonding the active materials together, especially in the case of expansion and contraction of the active material in the late cycle, the binding force between the active materials is poor, so that the structural stability of the electrode plate is poor; the second fluoropolymer is also included in the embodiment of the present application, and the second fluoropolymer has good solvent resistance, and the second fluoropolymer itself has a high cohesive energy density, which can slow down its own swelling and deformation, and improve the binding force between the active materials, thereby improving the structural stability of the electrode plate, and improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell.

[0070] The crystallinity X of the first fluorinated polymer c1 % is relatively small, the cold crystallization temperature T c1 ℃ is relatively low, the flexibility of the molecular chain is stronger, which is more conducive to the first fluorinated polymer to form an in-situ gel on the surface of the active material particles and improve the solid-liquid interface performance; the first fluorinated polymer and the second fluorinated polymer have similar structures. Compared with the first fluorinated polymer, the crystallinity X of the second fluorinated polymer is c2 % is relatively large, the cold crystallization temperature T c2 ℃ is relatively high, and the higher the energy required to release the intermolecular constraints, the more conducive it is to improving its own cohesive energy density, reducing swelling and deformation, and enhancing the binding force between active substances; therefore, the embodiments of the present application can effectively improve the cycle performance and storage performance of battery monomers through the mutual cooperation of multiple fluorinated polymers.

[0071] Crystallization refers to the process in which atoms, ions or molecules in a material are arranged in a certain spatial order to form an orderly structure. The conformation of the polymer in the crystallization is determined by both intramolecular and intermolecular factors. Intermolecular forces will affect the packing density between molecular chains. C % is used to characterize the degree of crystallization in the material, and the cold crystallization temperature T c ℃ is the crystallization temperature of the material during the cooling process after melting. The above two parameters can be measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Specifically, the test steps are as follows: take 0.5g to 0.8g of sample, place the sample in a carrier crucible, and heat and cool the sample in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10℃ / min, from the intrinsic T g The initial temperature is 20℃ lower than the material's intrinsic T m℃, keep the temperature constant for 5 minutes, record the first heating curve; then cool down at a rate of 10℃ / min to a temperature lower than the intrinsic T g The temperature of the material is 20℃ lower than the cut-off temperature, and the cooling curve is recorded. The peak value or transition point of the material's endothermic and exothermic properties during the cooling process is the actual cold crystallization temperature T of the material. c ℃, calculate the peak area corresponding to each peak of the cooling curve to get the crystallization enthalpy, and the ratio of the crystallization enthalpy to the standard enthalpy is the crystallinity X C % etc. The crystallinity in the embodiments of the present application refers to the crystallinity measured by differential scanning calorimetry.

[0072] The embodiments of the present application can further improve the cycle performance and storage performance of the electrode plate when applied to a battery cell by further selecting the crystallinity and cold crystallization temperature of the fluorinated polymer.

[0073] In the implementation mode of the present application, 20%≤(X c2 -X c1 ) / X c1 <400%; optionally, 40%≤(X c2 -X c1 ) / X c1 <400%.

[0077] In the implementation mode of the present application, 30%≤(T c2 -T c1 ) / T c1 <250%; optionally, 35%≤(T c2 -T c1 ) / T c1 <250%. For example, (T c2 -T c1 ) / T c1 The amount of the above-mentioned amount may be 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%, 105%, 110%, 115%, 120%, 125%, 130%, 135%, 140%, 145%, 150%, 155%, 160%, 165%, 170%, 175%, 180%, 185%, 190%, 195%, 200%, 205%, 210%, 220%, 225%, 230%, 235%, 240%, 245%, 250% or a range consisting of any two of the above-mentioned values.

The lyophilic properties of such a small amount of monomers are relatively poor, and the above fluorinated polymer monomers are copolymerized with such monomers to improve the swelling rate and compression modulus of the fluorinated polymer.

Specifically, the fluorinated polymers are tested by Thermo Nicolet Nexus 670 attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR-ATR), and then tested in accordance with standard GB / T6040-2002. The test range is: ATR method 600-4000cm -1 ; Repeatability: ±2cm -1 ; Resolution: better than 4cm -1 ; Transmission depth 0.2~0.6μm.

[0126] The structure of the fluorinated polymer according to the embodiment of the present application can be tested by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Specifically, 1H NMR and 13C NMR are performed on a Varian Mercury Plus-400 NMR instrument at a test temperature of 20° C., TMS as an internal standard, CDCl3 as a solvent, and a proton resonance frequency of 400 MHz.

[0127] The polymer monomer type of the fluorinated polymer of the embodiment of the present application (especially suitable for monomers that account for a relatively small proportion in the polymer) can be tested by pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the specific test steps are as follows: accurately weigh 0.5 mg of the sample and put it into the sample cup, fix it to the injection rod, and then put it into the pyrolyzer installed near the GC (gas chromatography) injection port. After the temperature of the pyrolyzer reaches the set temperature, press the injection button, and the sample cup quickly falls into the core of the pyrolysis furnace by free fall. In the inert gas N2 atmosphere, the volatile components are instantly vaporized and carried into the gas chromatography column by the carrier gas for separation. Finally, it is detected by a flame ionization detector FID or a mass spectrometer MS to obtain a gas chromatogram or a total ion flow diagram.

[0128] The molecular weight of the fluorinated polymer in the embodiment of the present application is well known in the art, and can be measured using equipment and methods commonly used in the art. It can be tested by gel permeation chromatography GPC in accordance with GB / T21863-2008. The specific test steps are: take an appropriate amount of the sample to be tested (the sample concentration is guaranteed to be 8%-12% shading), add 20 ml of deionized water, and simultaneously ultraviolet for 5 minutes (53KHz / 120W) to ensure that the sample is completely dispersed, and then the sample is measured in accordance with GB / T19077-2016 / ISO 13320:2009 standard.

[0129] [Positive electrode]

In this case, the negative electrode plate may include a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material and a plurality of fluorinated polymers. Alternatively, the negative electrode plate may include a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material, i.e., does not contain a fluorinated polymer.

[0131] In other embodiments, the electrode assembly includes a negative electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode film layer includes a negative electrode active material and a plurality of fluorinated polymers. In this case, the positive electrode film layer may include a positive electrode active material, that is, does not include a fluorinated polymer.

[0132] Further research has found that when both the positive electrode film layer and the negative electrode film layer include multiple fluorinated polymers, the multiple fluorinated polymers can not only improve the interface performance and structural stability of the positive electrode plate, but also improve the interface performance and structural stability of the negative electrode plate, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell.

[0133] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the positive electrode film layer, the total mass content of the multiple fluorinated polymers is ≤5%; optionally 0.05% to 3%; optionally 0.05% to 2.5%. When the mass content of the multiple fluorinated polymers is within the above range, the multiple fluorinated polymers can effectively improve the interface performance and structural stability of the positive electrode sheet. The mass content of the multiple fluorinated polymers refers to the sum of the mass content of each fluorinated polymer in the multiple fluorinated polymers.

[0135] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the positive electrode film layer, the mass content of the first fluorinated polymer is less than the mass content of the second fluorinated polymer; when multiple fluorinated polymers meet the above conditions, the interface performance and structural stability of the positive electrode plate can be further improved.

[0136] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the positive electrode film layer, the mass content of the first fluorinated polymer is ≤2%; it can be selected from 0.05% to 2%; it can be selected from 0.05% to 1%, for example, 0.05%, 0.08%, 0.10%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.18%, 0.20%, 0.22%, 0.25%, 0.28%, 0.30%, 0.32%, 0.3 5%, 0.38%, 0.40%, 0.42%, 0.45%, 0.48%, 0.50%, 0.55%, 0.58%, 0.60%, 0.70%, 0.80%, 0.90%, 0.95%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2.0% or a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0137] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the positive electrode film layer, the mass content of the second fluorinated polymer is ≤2%; it can be optionally 1% to 2%; it can be optionally 1.2% to 2%, for example, 0.05%, 0.08%, 0.10%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.18%, 0.20%, 0.22%, 0.25%, 0.28%, 0.30%, 0.32%, 0.35% , 0.38%, 0.40%, 0.42%, 0.45%, 0.48%, 0.50%, 0.55%, 0.58%, 0.60%, 0.70%, 0.80%, 0.90%, 0.95%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2.0% or a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0138] In the embodiments of the present application, the mass content of the polymer has a well-known meaning in the art, and can be detected by using well-known equipment and methods in the art, for example, it can be detected by using thermogravimetric analysis test TGA according to JYT014-1996. Specifically, according to the mass loss of the pole piece during the heating process, a mass-temperature curve, i.e., a TG curve, is drawn. The corresponding weight loss mass is read according to the polymer decomposition temperature, which is the total mass of the polymer in the pole piece, and the mass content and coating weight of the polymer are calculated accordingly. During the test, the following temperature rise program can be used for detection in a nitrogen atmosphere: 5°C / min, RT~500°C; 10°C / min, 500~600°C; 600°C constant temperature for 10min, end.

[0238] The lithium-ion batteries prepared in the examples and comparative examples are charged to 3.8V at a constant current of 1 / 3C at room temperature, left for 5 minutes, and then discharged to 2.0V at 1 / 3C. The obtained capacity is recorded as the initial capacity C0. Then transfer to a 60°C environment for storage. Repeat the above steps for the same battery, and record the discharge capacity Cn of the battery every 30D at the same time. Then, after every 30D, the battery capacity retention rate Pn = Cn / C0*100%. The 6 point values ​​of P1, P2...P6 are used as the vertical coordinates, and the corresponding storage time is used as the horizontal coordinates to obtain a dot graph of the battery capacity retention rate and the number of storage days. The battery capacity retention rate data in Table 4 are the data measured after 180D of storage under the above test conditions, that is, the value of P6.

[0239] 2. Lithium-ion battery DC impedance test

[0240] The lithium-ion batteries prepared in the examples and comparative examples are charged to 3.8V at 1 / 3C constant current at 25°C, left for 5 minutes, and the voltage V1 is recorded. Then, they are discharged at 1 / 3C for 30 seconds, and the voltage V2 is recorded. The internal resistance DCR1 of the battery after the first cycle is obtained by (V2-V1) / 1 / 3C. Then, the battery is transferred to a 60°C environment for storage. Repeat the above steps for the same battery, and record the internal resistance DCRn (n=1, 2, 3...6) of the nth battery at the same time. The six point values ​​of DCR1, DCR2, DCR3...DCR6 are used as the vertical coordinates, and the corresponding number of cycles are used as the horizontal coordinates to obtain a curve of the storage days of the battery discharge DCIR.

[0241] In Table 4, the battery internal resistance increase ratio = (DCRn-DCR1) / DCR1*100%. The data in Table 4 are measured after storage for 180D under the above test conditions.

[0252] It can be seen from Table 4 that the positive electrode and negative electrode sheets of Comparative Example 1 do not contain multiple fluorinated polymers. During the cycle of the lithium-ion battery, the electrode sheets may expand in volume, resulting in the destruction of the interface and the formation of a new interface. The formation of a new interface will lead to the continuous occurrence of interfacial side reactions, thereby deteriorating the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell.

[0253] Although polymers are added to the pole pieces in Comparative Examples 2 and 3, the polymers cannot effectively form in-situ gels on the surface of the active material, cannot effectively slow down the interfacial reaction, and their own high impedance will deteriorate the battery kinetic performance.

[0254] In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of fluorinated polymers are added to at least one of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The first fluorinated polymer can form an in-situ gel on the surface of the solid-phase active substance, that is, a stable solid-liquid interface is formed on the surface of the active substance, thereby reducing the risk of side reactions at the solid-liquid interface. However, the first fluorinated polymer is not conducive to the bonding between the active substances, resulting in poor structural stability of the electrode plate. The second fluorinated polymer can enhance the bonding force between the active substances and play a role in supporting the electrode plate, thereby improving the structural stability of the electrode plate, thereby improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery cell.

[0255] Although illustrative embodiments have been demonstrated and described, those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments should not be construed as limitations on the present application, and that changes, substitutions and modifications may be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit, principles and scope of the present application.
