Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a positive electrode, a battery, and an electrical device. Background Technology
[0002] Batteries have the characteristics of high capacity and long life, so they are widely used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, electric vehicles, electric cars, electric airplanes, electric ships, electric toy cars, electric toy ships, electric toy airplanes, and power tools, etc.
[0003] As batteries are used in a wider range of applications, the requirements for battery performance are becoming increasingly stringent. However, it is difficult to simultaneously improve cycle performance, power performance, and energy density, and further improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application is made in view of the above-mentioned issues, and its purpose is to provide a positive electrode, a battery, and an electrical device.
[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a positive electrode sheet, which includes a positive current collector and a positive electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the positive current collector. The positive electrode film layer includes a positive active material and a hydrophilic polymer, and the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is ≥300mg / 1540.25mm. 2 .
[0006] Therefore, according to the embodiments of this application, the coating weight of the positive electrode film is relatively high, resulting in a high energy density of the battery cell. However, due to the high coating weight and thickness, the polarization phenomenon at the positive electrode film is intensified, and the path for lithium ions to insert into or extract from the positive electrode active material is longer, leading to higher internal resistance and poorer power performance and cycle life. In contrast, the embodiments of this application add a hydrophilic polymer to the positive electrode film. The hydrophilic polymer has a high affinity with the electrolyte, which can improve the wetting rate of the electrolyte on the positive electrode film, reduce polarization, and mitigate interfacial side reactions, thereby improving cycle life. Since the hydrophilic polymer is configured to coat the electrolyte on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, effective liquid storage points are formed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, thereby accelerating the migration rate of lithium ions and improving the power performance of the battery cell. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can simultaneously improve cycle performance, power performance, and energy density.
[0007] In some embodiments, the coating weight of the positive electrode film is 300 mg / 1540.25 mm. 2 Up to 500mg / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0008] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material includes lithium phosphate; optionally, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass content of lithium phosphate is ≥90%; further optionally, the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is ≥400mg / 1540.25mm. 2 ; 400mg / 1540.25mm is optional. 2 Up to 500mg / 1540.25mm 2 Lithium-containing phosphates are the main active material for the positive electrode, resulting in a relatively high coating weight for the positive electrode film and a high energy density for the battery cell. The combination of lithium-containing phosphates can improve cycle life and power performance.
[0009] In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate includes at least one of lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, lithium nickel phosphate, lithium cobalt phosphate, and their respective modified compounds.
[0010] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material includes a lithium-containing transition metal oxide; optionally, based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the mass content of the lithium-containing transition metal oxide is ≥90%. Further optionally, the coating weight of the positive electrode film is ≥300 mg / 1540.25 mm. 2 ; 300mg / 1540.25mm is optional. 2 Up to 500mg / 1540.25mm 2 Lithium-containing transition metal oxides are the main materials for positive electrode active materials, resulting in relatively high coating weight of the positive electrode film and high energy density of the battery cell. The combination of lithium-containing transition metal oxides and lithium-containing phosphates can improve cycle life and power performance.
[0011] In some embodiments, the lithium transition metal oxide includes at least one of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt oxide, lithium manganese cobalt oxide, lithium nickel manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, and their respective modified compounds.
[0012] In some embodiments, the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is ≤5% based on the total mass of the positive electrode film; alternatively, the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is ≤1%. When the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is within the above range, the hydrophilic polymer, in combination with the positive electrode active material with a high coating weight, can form multiple liquid storage sites on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, thereby improving the liquid storage capacity of the positive electrode film and improving the wettability of the electrolyte to the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film, which is beneficial to improving the cycle performance and power performance of the battery cell.
[0013] In some embodiments, the positive electrode film layer includes multiple sublayers, with the coating weight of each sublayer decreasing progressively in the direction from the positive electrode current collector to the positive electrode film layer. This differentiated coating weight approach for the multiple sublayers helps to improve the polarization phenomenon of the positive electrode film layer and enhances the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0014] In some embodiments, the multilayer sublayer includes a first layer and a second layer, the first layer being disposed on the surface of the positive current collector, the second layer being located on the side of the first layer away from the positive current collector, and the coating weight of the first layer being greater than the coating weight of the second layer.
[0015] In some embodiments, the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer in the first layer is greater than that in the second layer. When the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is within the above range, the hydrophilic polymer can form multiple liquid storage sites on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles in each layer, thereby improving the liquid storage capacity of each layer and improving the wettability of the electrolyte to the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer, which is beneficial to improving the cycle performance and power performance of the battery cell.
[0016] In some embodiments, the lyophilic polymer includes a fluorinated polymer, the crystallinity of which, as determined by differential scanning calorimetry, is Xc1%, where 0 < Xc1 ≤ 28.
[0017] The melting temperature of fluoropolymers is T m1 ℃, 0 < T m1 ≤130;

[0024] p is a positive integer from 1 to 3;
[0025] n is a positive integer selected from 1000 to 30000.
[0026] Therefore, the fluorinated polymers in the embodiments of this application have relatively low crystallinity, melting temperature or glass transition temperature. Fluorinated polymers have a certain degree of activity above the glass transition temperature. Under the action of external force, they can buffer external energy through chain segment movement, which manifests a certain degree of flexibility. This can improve the problem of increased brittleness of the positive electrode sheet caused by thick coating. Furthermore, during the cycling process of the positive electrode sheet, it can act as a buffer for the charging and discharging process of the positive electrode active material, thereby improving cycle expansion and enhancing cycle performance.

[0034] The degree of polymerization n of ether polymers is selected from positive integers from 1500 to 25000.
[0035] Therefore, when the ether polymer of this application meets the above-mentioned range, it can further reduce the molecular chain entanglement state, which is beneficial to the diffusion of solvent molecules in the electrolyte between molecular chains; and the ether polymer still maintains a certain molecular chain entanglement state, which can effectively store electrolyte and improve the cycle performance of battery cells.
[0036] In some embodiments, the hydrophilic polymer includes an ester polymer, which is formed into a sheet-like structure; the sheet-like structure is in (T m3 The elastic modulus G' - energy dissipation modulus G” curve was obtained by dynamic frequency scanning test at +20℃.

[0077] The "range" disclosed in this application is defined by a lower limit and an upper limit. A given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, which define the boundaries of the particular range. Ranges defined in this way can include or exclude endpoints and can be arbitrarily combined; that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, if ranges of 60 to 120 and 80 to 110 are listed for a specific parameter, it is also expected that ranges of 60 to 110 and 80 to 120 are also included. Furthermore, if minimum range values of 1 and 2 are listed, and if maximum range values of 3, 4, and 5 are listed, then the following ranges are all expected: 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, and 2 to 5.

For example, the method may include steps (a), (b), and (c), or it may include steps (a), (c), and (b), or it may include steps (c), (a), and (b), etc.
[0081] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "multiple" or "multi-type" refer to two or more kinds.
[0082] The term "alkyl" encompasses both straight-chain and branched alkyl groups. For example, alkyl groups can be C1 to C5 alkyl, C1 to C4 alkyl, C1 to C3 alkyl, or C1 to C2 alkyl. In some embodiments, alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, etc. Additionally, alkyl groups may optionally be substituted. When substituted, the substituents include fluorine atoms.
[0083] The term "alkoxy group" refers to a group in which an alkyl group is bonded to an oxygen atom by a single bond. For example, an alkoxy group can be a C1-C5 alkoxy group, a C1-C3 alkoxy group, or a C1-C2 alkoxy group. In some embodiments, an alkoxy group may include a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, or a propoxy group. Additionally, an alkoxy group may optionally be substituted.
[0084] The term "halogen atom" refers to fluorine atoms, chlorine atoms, bromine atoms, etc.
[0085] The term "hydrogen" refers to 1H (protium, H), 2H (deuterium, D), or 3H (tritium, T). In various embodiments, "hydrogen" may be 1H (protium, H).
[0086] A battery comprises electrode components and an electrolyte. The electrode components include a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode film layer containing positive active material, which provides active ions. The negative electrode includes a negative electrode film layer containing negative active material. The separator is positioned between the positive and negative electrodes, primarily preventing short circuits between them while allowing active ions to pass freely and form a closed circuit. To increase the battery's energy density, the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer can be increased.
[0087] However, as the coating weight increases, the polarization phenomenon at the positive electrode film layer intensifies, and the power performance and cycle life deteriorate significantly, making it difficult to simultaneously improve cycle performance, power performance and energy density.
[0088] In view of the above problems, this application proposes a positive electrode sheet, which includes a positive current collector and a positive electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the positive current collector. The coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is relatively high, for example, ≥300mg / 1540.25mm. 2 This improves the energy density of individual battery cells. The positive electrode film also includes a hydrophilic polymer, which has a high affinity for the electrolyte, thus enhancing the affinity between the positive electrode and the electrolyte. The hydrophilic polymer stores the electrolyte on the surface of the active material particles of the positive electrode, improving the electrolyte storage capacity of the positive electrode. The wettability of the electrolyte on the film is significantly improved, which can reduce concentration polarization. When the positive electrode is used in a battery, it can significantly improve the power performance and cycle life of the battery.
[0089] The technical solution of this application will now be described in detail.
[0090] Positive electrode sheet
[0091] In a first aspect, this application provides a positive electrode sheet, which includes a positive current collector and a positive electrode film layer disposed on at least one side of the positive current collector. The positive electrode film layer includes a positive active material and a hydrophilic polymer, and the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer is ≥300mg / 1540.25mm. 2 .
[0092] The coating weight of the positive electrode film is relatively high, resulting in a high energy density for the battery cell. However, due to the high coating weight and thickness, polarization at the positive electrode film is intensified, and the path for lithium ions to insert into or extract from the positive electrode active material is longer, leading to higher internal resistance and poorer power performance and cycle life. In this embodiment, a hydrophilic polymer is added to the positive electrode film. The hydrophilic polymer has a high affinity for the electrolyte, which can improve the wetting rate of the electrolyte on the positive electrode film, reduce polarization, and mitigate interfacial side reactions, thereby improving cycle life. Since the hydrophilic polymer is configured to coat the electrolyte on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, effective electrolyte storage points are formed on the surface of the particles, thereby accelerating the migration rate of lithium ions and improving the power performance of the battery cell.
[0093] Therefore, the embodiments of this application can simultaneously improve cycle performance, power performance and energy density.
[0094] In this embodiment, the coating weight of the positive electrode film layer has a meaning known in the art and can be tested using equipment and methods known in the art. For example, take a positive electrode sheet that has been coated on one side and cold-pressed (if it is a positive electrode sheet coated on both sides, the positive electrode film layer on one side can be wiped off first), cut it into a small circular piece with an area of S1, weigh it, and record its weight as M1. Then wipe off the positive electrode film layer of the above-weighed positive electrode sheet, weigh the positive current collector, and record it as M0. The coating weight of the positive active material layer = (weight of the positive electrode sheet M1 - weight of the positive current collector M0) / S1.
[0095] In the embodiments of this application, the coating weight of the positive electrode film is relatively high, for example, ≥300mg / 1540.25mm. 2 ; 300mg / 1540.25mm is optional. 2 Up to 500mg / 1540.25mm 2 The coating weight of the positive electrode film can be 300 mg / 1540.25 mm. 2 310mg / 1540.25mm 2 320mg / 1540.25mm 2 330mg / 1540.25mm 2 340mg / 1540.25mm 2 350mg / 1540.25mm2 360mg / 1540.25mm 2 370mg / 1540.25mm 2 380mg / 1540.25mm 2 390mg / 1540.25mm 2 400mg / 1540.25mm 2 410mg / 1540.25mm 2 420mg / 1540.25mm 2 430mg / 1540.25mm 2 440mg / 1540.25mm 2 450mg / 1540.25mm 2 460mg / 1540.25mm 2 470mg / 1540.25mm 2 480mg / 1540.25mm 2 490mg / 1540.25mm 2 500mg / 1540.25mm 2 Or a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0096] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material may include, but is not limited to, at least one of lithium phosphate and lithium transition metal oxide and their respective modified compounds. The modified compound may be doped or coated. Doping modification may involve adding a dopant element, such as a transition metal, to the compound. Coating modification may involve surface coating with materials such as carbon, i.e., forming a carbon coating layer on the outer surface of the particles.
[0097] In the embodiments of this application, when the mass content of lithium phosphate is ≥90% based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, lithium phosphate is used as the main material of the positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material is defined herein as a lithium phosphate system; in this case, the mass content of lithium phosphate can reach 100%.
[0098] Examples of lithium phosphates may include, but are not limited to, at least one of lithium iron phosphate, lithium iron phosphate and carbon composites, lithium manganese phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate and carbon composites, lithium manganese iron phosphate, lithium manganese iron phosphate and carbon composites, lithium nickel phosphate, lithium cobalt phosphate, and their respective modified compounds.

For example, lithium phosphates include LiFePO4, LiMnPO4, and LiFe 0.5 Mn 0.5 PO4, LiFe 0.6 Mn 0.4 PO4, LiFe 0.7 Mn 0.3 One or more of PO4, LiNiPO4 and LiCoPO4.
[0100] In some embodiments, when the positive electrode active material is a lithium phosphate system, the coating weight of the positive electrode film is ≥400mg / 1540.25mm. 2 Available in 400mg / 1540.25mm. 2 Up to 500mg / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0101] When lithium phosphate is used as the main material of the positive electrode active material, combined with high coating weight, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved while its cycle performance can also be significantly improved. Furthermore, when lithium phosphate is used in combination with hydrophilic polymers, the hydrophilic polymers can form liquid storage points on the surface of the lithium phosphate material, effectively improving the wetting performance of the electrolyte on the lithium phosphate material, thereby further improving the cycle performance and power performance of the battery cell.
[0102] In this embodiment of the application, when the mass content of lithium transition metal oxide is ≥90% based on the total mass of the positive electrode active material, the lithium transition metal oxide is used as the main material of the positive electrode active material.

For example, lithium-containing transition metal oxides include LiCoO2, LiNiO2, LiMnO2, LiMn2O4, and LiNi 1 / 3 Co 1 / 3 Mn 1 / 3 O2(NCM333), LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O2(NCM523), LiNi 0.6 Co 0.2 Mn 0.2 O2(NCM622), LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O2(NCM811), LiNi 0.85 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 At least one of O2.
[0105] During the charging and discharging process, active ions such as Li undergo insertion / extraction and consumption, resulting in varying molar Li content in the battery cell at different discharge states. In the embodiments of this application regarding the positive electrode active material, the molar Li content refers to the initial state of the material, i.e., the state before feeding. After charge-discharge cycles, the molar Li content may change when the positive electrode active material is applied to the battery system.
[0106] In the embodiments of this application, the molar content of oxygen (O) in the positive electrode active materials is only a theoretical value. Oxygen release from the crystal lattice will cause the molar content of oxygen (O) to change. In reality, the molar content of oxygen (O) will fluctuate.
[0107] In some embodiments, when the positive electrode active material is a lithium-containing transition metal oxide system, the coating weight of the positive electrode film is ≥300mg / 1540.25mm. 2 Available in 300mg / 1540.25mm. 2 Up to 400mg / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0108] When lithium-containing transition metal oxides (LMMOs) are used as the main positive electrode active material, high coating weight can improve the energy density of individual battery cells. When LMOs are used in combination with hydrophilic polymers, the hydrophilic polymers can form electrolyte reservoirs on the surface of the LMO material, effectively improving the wetting performance of the electrolyte and thus further improving the cycle performance and power performance of the battery cells. The hydrophilic polymers adhering to the surface of the LMO material can also enhance its structural stability to a certain extent, reducing the risk of structural collapse and further improving the cycle performance of the battery cells.
[0109] The positive electrode film has a layered structure, which can be a single layer or a multilayer structure. When the positive electrode film has a multilayer structure, it can include multiple sublayers, such as two, three, four, or five sublayers. The types of positive active materials in each sublayer can be the same or different. The mass content of the positive active materials in each sublayer can be the same or different. The coating weight of each sublayer can be the same or different.
[0110] In some implementations, the coating weight of the multilayer sublayers decreases progressively in the direction from the positive current collector to the positive electrode film layer. This can be understood as the sublayer closest to the positive current collector having the largest coating weight, and the sublayer furthest from the positive current collector having the smallest coating weight. This progressive decrease can be linear or gradient-based. For example, when the multilayer sublayer includes three or more sublayers, the coating weight of the multilayer sublayers can satisfy a linear relationship or a gradient-based decrease relationship.
[0111] Multi-layer sub-layers can be set by multi-layer coating, which helps to achieve thick coating. The multi-layer sub-layers adopt a differentiated coating weight method, especially the coating weight of the multi-layer sub-layers decreases step by step, which enables lithium ions to migrate quickly from the sub-layer farthest from the positive electrode current collector to the sub-layer closest to the positive electrode current collector. This is beneficial to improve the polarization phenomenon of the positive electrode film and improve the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0112] like Figure 1 As shown, exemplarily, the positive electrode 7 includes a positive current collector 71 and a positive electrode film layer disposed on two surfaces of the positive current collector 71. The positive electrode film layer includes multiple sub-layers, including a first layer 721 and a second layer 722. The first layer 721 is disposed on the surface of the positive current collector 71, and the second layer 722 is located on the side of the first layer 721 away from the positive current collector 71. The coating weight of the first layer 721 is greater than the coating weight of the second layer 722. The use of a double-layer coating for the first layer 721 and the second layer 722 helps to achieve thick coating. The use of differentiated coating weights for the multiple sub-layers, with the coating weight of the first layer 721 being greater than that of the second layer 722, is beneficial to improve the polarization phenomenon of the positive electrode film layer and enhance the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0113] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the positive electrode film, the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is >0% and ≤5%; optionally, the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is ≤1%. When the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is within the above range, the hydrophilic polymer, in combination with the positive electrode active material with a high coating weight, can form multiple liquid storage sites on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, thereby improving the liquid storage capacity of the positive electrode film and improving the wettability of the electrolyte to the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film, which is beneficial to improving the cycle performance and power performance of the battery cell.
[0114] For example, the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer can be 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%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3.0%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4.0%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, 5.0%, or a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0115] In this application, the polymer mass content has a meaning known in the art and can be detected using equipment and methods known in the art. For example, it can be detected using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) according to JYT014-1996. Specifically, based on the mass loss of the electrode during the heating process, a mass-temperature curve, i.e., a TG curve, is plotted. The mass loss corresponding to the polymer decomposition temperature is read as the total mass of the polymer in the electrode, thereby calculating the polymer mass content and coating weight. During the test, the following temperature rise program can be used in a nitrogen atmosphere: 5℃ / min, RT~500℃; 10℃ / min, 500~600℃; constant temperature at 600℃ for 10 min, then end.
[0116] When the positive electrode film layer comprises multiple sublayers, the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer in each sublayer is >0%, and the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is ≤5%; alternatively, it can be ≤1%; further alternatively, it can be ≤0.5%. The mass content of the hydrophilic polymer in the sublayer can increase accordingly with the increase of the coating weight of the sublayer. When the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is within the above range, the hydrophilic polymer can form multiple liquid storage sites on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles in each layer, improve the liquid storage capacity of each layer, improve the wettability of the electrolyte to the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode film layer, thereby helping to improve the cycle performance and power performance of the battery cell.
[0117] For example, the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer in each sublayer can be 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%, etc. 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2.0%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3.0%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4.0%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, 5.0%, or a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0118] In some embodiments, the hydrophilic polymer may include at least one of fluorinated polymers, ether polymers, ester polymers, and aldehyde-ketone polymers. The hydrophilic polymer is configured to coat the surface of the active material with an electrolyte, thereby forming effective electrolyte storage points on the surface of the active material and improving the electrolyte storage capacity of the electrode. The specific types of hydrophilic polymers will be described below.
[0119] [Fluoropolymers]
[0120] In some embodiments, the hydrophilic polymer may include a fluorinated polymer.
[0121] In some embodiments, the crystallinity of the fluorinated polymer, as determined by differential scanning calorimetry, is X. c1 %, 0 < X c1 ≤28.
[0122] In some embodiments, the melting temperature of the fluoropolymer is T. m1 ℃, 0 < T m1 ≤130.
[0123] In some embodiments, the glass transition temperature of the fluorinated polymer is T. g1 ℃, -30≤T g1 ≤40.
[0124] Crystallization refers to the process by which atoms, ions, or molecules in a material arrange themselves in a specific spatial order to form an ordered structure. The conformation of hydrophilic polymers during crystallization is determined by both intramolecular and intermolecular factors. Intermolecular forces affect the packing density between molecular chains. Crystallinity X C1 The degree of crystallinity in a material is characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Specifically, the testing procedure is as follows: Take 0.5g to 0.8g of sample, place the sample in a crucible, and subject the sample to heating and cooling at a nitrogen atmosphere, with a heating rate of 10℃ / min from the intrinsic temperature of the material (T0). g1 The initial temperature is 20°C lower than the material's intrinsic temperature. m1 The cutoff temperature for a process increasing from ℃ to 20℃ is determined by the actual glass transition temperature T of the material, based on the peak values of heat absorption and release or the transition point during the process. g1 ℃ and melting temperature T m1 ℃, etc.
[0125] Therefore, fluorinated polymers have relatively low crystallinity, melting temperature or glass transition temperature. Fluorinated polymers have a certain degree of activity above the glass transition temperature. Under the action of external force, they can buffer external energy through chain segment movement, which manifests as a certain degree of flexibility. This can improve the problem of increased brittleness of the positive electrode sheet caused by thick coating. In addition, during the cycling process of the positive electrode sheet, it can act as a buffer for the charging and discharging process of the positive electrode active material, thereby improving cycle expansion and improving cycle performance.
[0126] For example, the crystallinity of the fluorinated polymer, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry, can be 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 28%, or a range of any two of the above values.
[0127] For example, the melting temperature of the fluoropolymer can be 10°C, 20°C, 50°C, 70°C, 90°C, 100°C, 120°C, 130°C, or any combination of two of the above values.
[0128] For example, the glass transition temperature of the fluoropolymer can be -30°C, -25°C, -20°C, -15°C, -10°C, -5°C, 0°C, 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, or a range of any two of the above values.
[0129] In some embodiments, the fluorinated polymer includes at least one of the compounds represented by formula (A1) to formula (AII).
[0130]
[0131] In equations (AI) and (AII), R 11 R 12 R 13 and R 14 Each independently comprises a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, and R 11 R 12 R 13 and R 14 At least one of them contains a fluorine atom.
[0132] Optionally, R 11 R 12 R 13 and R 14 Each of them independently includes a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkoxy group.
[0133] Optionally, R 11 R 12 R 13 and R 14 Each of them independently includes a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C3 alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C3 alkoxy group.
[0134] Further optional, R 11 R 12 R 13 and R14 Each of these atoms independently includes a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a methyl group, a fluoromethyl group, a methoxy group, or a perfluoromethoxy group.
[0135] In some embodiments, the degree of polymerization n of the fluoropolymer is selected from positive integers from 1000 to 30000, such as 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, 13000, 14000, 15000, 16000, 17000, 18000, 19000, 20000, 21000, 22000, 23000, 24000, 25000, 26000, 27000, 28000, 29000, or a range of any two of the above values.

[0141] Optionally, R 15 Includes single-bonded, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C3 alkyl groups.
[0142] In some implementations, p is selected from positive integers from 1 to 3, such as 1, 2, or 3.
[0143] In some embodiments, the degree of polymerization n of the fluoropolymer is selected from positive integers from 1000 to 30000, such as 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, 13000, 14000, 15000, 16000, 17000, 18000, 19000, 20000, 21000, 22000, 23000, 24000, 25000, 26000, 27000, 28000, 29000, or a range of any two of the above values.
[0144] In some embodiments, the fluorinated polymer includes at least one of the compounds shown in formula (AI-1) to the compounds shown in formula (AI-11).
[0145]
[0146] In some embodiments, the fluorinated polymer includes at least one of the compounds shown in formula (AII-1) to formula (AII-5).
[0147]
[0148] In some embodiments, the fluorinated polymer includes at least one of the compounds shown in formula (AIII-1) to formula (AIII-3).
[0149]
[0150]
[0151] For example, fluorinated polymers include one or more of the following: perfluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), perfluoroethylene-propylene copolymer (FEP), perfluoroalkoxy polymer (PFA), perfluoropolyether (PFPE), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVDF-HFP), polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene copolymer (PVDF-TrFE), and perfluoro(1-butenyl vinyl ether) polymer (CYTOP).
[0152] Optionally, the fluorinated polymer includes one or more of the following: perfluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), perfluoroethylene propylene copolymer (FEP), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVDF-HFP), and polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene copolymer (PVDF-TrFE).
[0153] The aforementioned fluorinated polymers can be derived from one or more of the following monomers: fluorinated cyclohexane, fluorinated vinylidene, 1,2-difluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride, trifluoroethylene, trifluorochloroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, 3,3,3-trifluoropropylene, trifluoropropylene, tetrafluoropropylene, and pentafluoropropylene. Optionally, the aforementioned fluorinated polymers can be derived from at least two of the following monomers: fluorinated cyclohexane, fluorinated vinylidene, 1,2-difluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride, trifluoroethylene, trifluorochloroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, 3,3,3-trifluoropropylene, trifluoropropylene, tetrafluoropropylene, and pentafluoropropylene.
[0154] In embodiments of this application, the polymer can also be obtained by copolymerizing the above-mentioned structural groups with small amounts of other types of structural groups (e.g., olefin compounds, ester monomers, nitrile monomers such as acrylonitrile, amide monomers such as acrylamide, acrylic acid, etc.). These small amounts of monomers have relatively poor hydrophilic properties; copolymerizing the monomers of the above-mentioned fluorinated polymer with these monomers can improve the swelling ratio and compressive modulus of the hydrophilic polymer.
[0155] In some embodiments, the molecular weight of the hydrophilic polymer is 2 × 10⁻⁶. 5 g / mol up to 1.2 × 10 6 g / mol.
[0156] For example, the molecular weight of the hydrophilic polymer can be 2 × 10⁻⁶. 5 g / mol, 5×10 5 g / mol, 8×10 5 g / mol, 1×10 6 g / mol, 1.2×10 6 g / mol or a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0157] [Ether polymers]
[0158] In some embodiments, the hydrophilic polymer includes ether polymers.
[0159] In some embodiments, the ether polymer is formed into a sheet-like structure; the sheet-like structure is in (T m2 The elastic modulus G' - energy dissipation modulus G” curve was obtained by dynamic frequency scanning test at +20℃. The slope of the elastic modulus G' - energy dissipation modulus G” curve is K1, 1<K1<∞, T m2 °C indicates the melting temperature of ether polymers.
[0160] Specifically, the preparation process of the sheet-like structure is as follows: The ether polymer is vacuum dried at 80°C for 12 hours. The dried ether polymer is then hot-pressed into thin sheets using a flat vulcanizing machine, with the hot-pressing temperature set to (T...). m2The temperature is +20℃, the calendering thickness is 1-2 min, the calendering time is 2 min, and the pressure is 8 MPa. After calendering for 2 min, the sample is removed and placed on another vulcanizing machine of the same model for cold pressing at a pressure of 10 MPa. Polymer discs (sheet-like structures) of a fixed size can be obtained using a circular mold with a diameter of 25 mm. For example, the sheet-like structure can be a disc with a thickness of 1-2 mm and a diameter of 25 mm; it can also be prepared according to the sample standard required by the testing equipment.
[0161] According to the conclusions of classical linear viscoelasticity, for polymers, especially linear polymers, the elastic modulus G'-energy dissipation modulus G” curve exhibits frequency dependence in the terminal region (the range approaching the maximum angular velocity), and the longest chain of the polymer plays a role in viscoelastic behavior.
[0162] The specific steps of the dynamic frequency scanning test are as follows: A TA-AR2000EX rotational rheometer (TA Instruments, USA) is used for the dynamic frequency scanning test. The parallel plate diameter is 25mm and the thickness is 0.9mm. To ensure the test is conducted within the linear springback region, the strain is 2% during the dynamic frequency scanning test, and the test temperature is T. m2 +20℃, test frequency sweep range: 500rad / s≤w 2 ≤0.05rad / s, so as to obtain data in the lowest possible frequency range.
[0163] Dynamic frequency scanning tests can characterize the degree of molecular chain entanglement during solid-state melting (molten state). Compared to linear or short-branched structures, long-branched, network, and low-crosslinked structures exhibit high entanglement and deviate from linear end-effector behavior, while ether polymers exhibit solid-state behavior. When the ether polymers of this application meet the above-mentioned range, the molecular chain entanglement state can be further reduced, which is beneficial for the diffusion of solvent molecules between molecular chains in the electrolyte. Furthermore, the ether polymers still maintain a certain degree of molecular chain entanglement, effectively storing electrolyte and improving the cycle performance of the battery cells.
[0164] In some implementations, 1 < K1 ≤ 100; alternatively, 1 < K1 ≤ 10. For example, K1 can be 1.01, 1.1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 or a range of any two of the above values.
[0165] In some embodiments, the glass transition temperature of the ether polymer is T. g2 ℃, -20≤T g2≤35. For example, the glass transition temperature of the ether polymer can be -20℃, -15℃, -10℃, -5℃, -0℃, 5℃, 10℃, 15℃, 20℃, 25℃, 30℃, 35℃, or a range of any two of the above values. Ether polymers exhibit a certain degree of mobility above their glass transition temperature. Under external force, they can buffer external energy through chain segment movement, demonstrating a certain degree of flexibility. This can mitigate the increased brittleness of the positive electrode sheet caused by thick coatings, and further, during the cycling process of the positive electrode sheet, it can act as a buffer for the charging and discharging process of the positive electrode active material, thereby improving cycle expansion and enhancing cycle performance.
[0166] In some embodiments, the ether polymer includes compounds represented by formula (BI).

[0181] In some embodiments, the ether polymer includes at least one of the compounds shown in formula (BII-1) to formula (BII-7).
[0182]
[0183] The polymers described above are merely examples of structural groups in the main molecular chains. In embodiments of this application, the polymers may also be obtained by copolymerizing the above structural groups with small amounts of other types of structural groups (e.g., olefin compounds, ester monomers, nitrile monomers such as acrylonitrile, amide monomers such as acrylamide, acrylic acid, etc.).
[0184] When the above groups are substituted, the substituents may include one or more of the following: nitrile (-CN), nitro, sulfonic acid, sulfonyl, amide, carboxyl, ester, and halogen atom. The halogen atom may include at least one of the following: fluorine atom and bromine atom; alternatively, it may be a fluorine atom.
[0185] In some embodiments, the degree of polymerization n of the ether polymer is selected from a positive integer from 1500 to 25000, such as 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, 13000, 14000, 15000, 16000, 17000, 18000, 19000, 20000, 21000, 22000, 23000, 24000, 25000, or a range of any two of the above values.
[0186] Optionally, the degree of polymerization n of the ether polymer is selected from a positive integer from 3000 to 18000.
[0187] In some embodiments, the molecular weight of the hydrophilic polymer is 2 × 10⁻⁶. 5 g / mol up to 1.2 × 10 6 g / mol. For example, the molecular weight of the polymer can be 2 × 10⁻⁶ g / mol. 5 g / mol, 5×10 5 g / mol, 8×10 5 g / mol, 1×10 6 g / mol, 1.2×10 6 g / mol or a range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0188] [Ester polymers]
[0189] In some embodiments, the hydrophilic polymer includes ester polymers.
[0190] In some embodiments, the ester polymer is formed into a sheet-like structure; the sheet-like structure is in (T m3 The elastic modulus G' - energy dissipation modulus G” curve was obtained by dynamic frequency scanning test at +20℃. The slope of the elastic modulus G' - energy dissipation modulus G” curve is K2, 1<K1<∞, T m3 °C represents the melting temperature of ester polymers.
[0191] Specifically, the preparation process of the sheet-like structure is similar to that of ether polymers, and will not be described in detail here.

[0339] Test section
[0340] 1. Lithium-ion battery capacity retention test
[0341] The lithium-ion batteries prepared in the examples and comparative examples were charged at a constant current of 0.5C to V1 at room temperature, left to stand for 30 minutes, and then discharged at 0.5C to V2. The resulting capacity was recorded as the initial capacity C0. The above steps were repeated for the same battery, and the discharge capacity Cn of the battery after the nth cycle was recorded. The battery capacity retention rate after each cycle was Pn = Cn / C0 * 100%. A dot plot of battery capacity retention rate versus cycle number was obtained with 2000 points (P1, P2...P2000) as the ordinate and the corresponding cycle number as the abscissa. Here, V1 represents the upper limit of battery voltage, and V2 represents the lower limit of battery usage.
[0342] In this test, the first cycle corresponds to n=1, the second cycle to n=2, and so on, up to the 2000th cycle, which corresponds to n=2000. For example, the battery capacity retention rate data corresponding to Example 1 in Table 1 is the data measured after 2000 cycles under the above test conditions, i.e., the value of P2000. The test process for Comparative Example 1 and other examples is the same as above.
[0343] In the above test procedure, V1 and V2 are determined based on the type of positive electrode active material in the battery:
[0344] The positive electrode active material is LiFePO4 with V1 = 2.0V and V2 = 3.65V;
[0345] The positive electrode active material is LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O2, LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O2, LiNi 0.9 Co 0.05 Mn 0.05 The values of O2 are V1 = 2.8V and V2 = 4.25V.
[0346] The positive electrode active material is LiMn 0.5 Fe 0.5 PO4, LiMn 0.4 Fe 0.6 The voltages of PO4 are V1 = 2.0V and V2 = 4.1V.
[0347] 2. Energy density of a single battery cell
[0348] In this application, the energy density of a single battery cell is defined in a way known in the art, specifically referring to the gravimetric energy transferred during each charge / discharge cycle, typically expressed in Wh / kg. When calculating energy density, only the mass of the film layer in the electrode plates can be considered; alternatively, the mass of the battery cell itself can be considered, meaning that in addition to the film layer mass, the mass of other components must also be taken into account. These other components are all components of the battery cell except for the film layer, such as the positive electrode current collector, negative electrode current collector, separator, electrolyte, electrode leads, insulating tape, and aluminum casing. This application considers the mass of the single battery cell when calculating energy density.
[0349] In the embodiments of this application, the energy density of the battery cell can be detected using equipment and methods known in the art. For example, after the battery cell is shipped, it is charged at a constant current of 1 / 3C to V1, then charged at a constant voltage to 0.05C, and left to stand for 30 minutes; then it is discharged at 1 / 3C to V2, and the discharge capacity D0 is recorded; the mass M0 of the battery cell is weighed, and the energy density of the battery cell is D0 / M0. Wherein, V1 is the upper limit of the battery voltage, and V2 is the lower limit of battery use, with specific values as above.
[0350] Test Results
[0351] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0352] Table 1
[0353]
[0354] In Table 1, the monomer content of 85% vinylidene fluoride + 15% perfluoropropylene indicates that, based on the total mass of the monomers, the mass content of vinylidene fluoride is 85% and the mass content of perfluoropropylene is 15%.
[0355] A crystallinity of " / " indicates that the polymer may be in an amorphous state and has no obvious crystallinity.
[0356] A melting temperature of " / " indicates that the polymer may be in an amorphous state and has no obvious melting temperature.
[0357] Table 2
[0358]
[0359] In Table 2, the content of the hydrophilic polymer in the positive electrode sheet is 0.2%, which means that the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer is 0.2% based on the total mass of the positive electrode film.
[0360] The amount of hydrophilic polymer added to the positive electrode is 0.00%, which means that no hydrophilic polymer was added to the positive electrode film layer.
[0361] As shown in Table 2, the positive electrode sheets of Comparative Examples 1 and 3 did not contain hydrophilic polymers. During the lithium-ion battery cycle, the thick coating of the positive electrode sheet in the lithium-ion battery resulted in poor wetting of the positive electrode film layer, which easily led to polarization and other problems, thus deteriorating the cycle performance and power performance of the lithium-ion battery.
[0362] Although polymers were added to the electrodes in Comparative Examples 2 and 4, the polymers had poor hydrophilicity, resulting in low liquid retention efficiency and high impedance, which would degrade the battery dynamics performance.
[0363] This application embodiment adds a hydrophilic polymer to the positive electrode sheet. The hydrophilic polymer has a high affinity with the electrolyte, which can improve the wetting rate of the electrolyte onto the positive electrode film, reduce polarization and interfacial side reactions, thereby improving cycle life. Since the hydrophilic polymer is configured to coat the electrolyte on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, effective liquid storage points are formed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, thereby accelerating the migration rate of lithium ions and improving the power performance of the battery cell.
[0364] Table 3
[0365]
[0366] In Table 3, both Examples 16 and 17 used hydrophilic polymer A in the positive electrode film layer.
[0367] The positive electrode active material in Example 16 includes LiFePO4.
[0368] The positive electrode active material in Example 17 includes LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O2.
[0369] As shown in Tables 2 and 3, compared to the single-layer coating of Example 1, Examples 16 and 17 employ a double-layer coating, with the positive electrode film layer comprising a first layer and a second layer, which is more conducive to achieving a higher coating weight through thick coating. The difference in coating weight between the first and second layers, combined with the difference in the mass content of the hydrophilic polymer, results in better electrolyte wetting in each layer, which is beneficial for improving the cycle performance and power performance of the lithium-ion battery.
[0370] Although illustrative embodiments have been demonstrated and described, those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present application, and that changes, substitutions and modifications can be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit, principles and scope of the present application.
