Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, and in particular to a dry electrode and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are one of the energy storage technologies in the fields of power, consumer electronics, energy storage, etc. With the global energy shortage and the improvement of environmental protection awareness, the new energy industry has become an important development direction in my country. Lithium-ion batteries have become the leader in the new energy industry due to their advantages such as high operating voltage, no memory effect, low self-discharge and long cycle life. With the increasing demand for the application of lithium-ion batteries, the requirements for lithium-ion batteries in terms of high energy density and high safety are gradually increasing, and the cost of manufacturing them is also increasing.

[0003] At present, the domestic production of battery electrodes mainly uses the wet process, which requires the use of organic solvents. This solvent needs to be baked out later, which consumes a lot of energy, occupies a large area of ​​drying equipment, and it is difficult to completely remove the solvent, so it is easy to cause a series of problems such as gas production in the subsequent battery application. The dry production process does not add any organic solvents or water during the production process, so there is no need for baking, and no emissions are generated. It is an ideal electrode production process.

[0004] At present, the dry-process electrode preparation process generally relies on the shear force of the airflow to draw and fiberize the binder. The main control point is whether the binder can be completely fiberized. However, under the process conditions of airflow crushing, the fiberization time is short, the fiberization degree is uncontrollable, and the fiberization degree of the binder is insufficient, which easily causes many defects in the electrode film. The strong fiberization degree easily leads to the breakage of the binder chain. The tensile strength of the electrode after film formation is poor. The above problems have brought difficulties to continuous production. The patent with publication number CN108735528A discloses a method for preparing a dry-process electrode, but this method still requires solvent for coating after mixing, and does not fundamentally remove the influence of organic solvents; the patent with publication number CN105225847A discloses a method for preparing a dry-process electrode, but this method requires shear deformation mixing under the action of a shearing machine heated at about 80℃~120℃.

[0032] The principles and features of the present invention are described below, and the examples are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. If no specific technology or conditions are specified in the embodiments, the technology or conditions described in the literature in this field or the product instructions are used. If the manufacturer of the reagents or instruments used is not specified, they are all conventional products that can be purchased through regular channels.

[0033] Based on the original air flow shearing process, the present invention adds a grinding bed to the wire drawing machine equipment and changes the roughness to effectively control the degree of binder fiberization. Its main principle is to ensure that the added binder can be completely drawn and maintained in the optimal state, and at the same time, it is evenly mixed with the active material, which can significantly improve the uniformity and consistency of the material, and the prepared battery pole piece has fewer defects and high tensile strength. The method is simple and effective.

[0034] The present invention mainly ensures the degree of wire drawing of the adhesive particles from two aspects. First, the large surface area inside the wire drawing machine can greatly increase the contact probability between the particles (such as adhesive) and the inner wall of the wire drawing machine, including the contact area and contact time, so as to ensure that all the particles entering the wire drawing machine can be deformed by wire drawing. Secondly, a swirling airflow will be formed inside the wire drawing machine, and the particles and other materials will form a circular motion inside the wire drawing machine with the swirling airflow. The particles that have just entered the wire drawing machine will be concentrated at the edge of the wire drawing machine under the action of a large centrifugal force. The centrifugal force of the material after wire drawing is reduced, and it leaves the wire drawing machine through the outlet with the airflow. Specifically, by controlling the surface roughness of the inner wall of the wire drawing machine, the airflow pressure, and the outlet radius parameters, the wire drawing effect of the particles can be accurately controlled. After the wire drawing is complete, the active substance and the conductive agent powder will be connected to each other through point contact, and the wires will be connected to form a network structure to fix other materials. It is then rolled by a hot roller, and after rolling and forming, it is compounded onto the current collector by a hot roller to form a battery electrode for high-performance and high-capacity lithium-ion batteries with high compaction density and good surface uniformity.

[0065] Example 6: Assembling button batteries The button cells were assembled using the electrode sheets prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Example 5 to obtain batteries 1-4 respectively. The assembly method was as follows: assemble in the order of positive electrode shell, battery positive electrode sheet, diaphragm, and battery negative electrode sheet, then use a pipette to draw 2 mL of lithium hexafluorophosphate battery electrolyte and inject it into the battery, then assemble into button cells in the order of gasket, spring pad, and negative electrode shell, and then use a sealing machine to seal. The assembly scheme is shown in Table 1: Table 1 Test example: (1) Electron microscopy: Depend on Figures 2 to 4 It can be seen that the method of the present invention can achieve complete fiberization of the binder and maintain the optimal state.

[0069] Figure 5 The battery cycle results of each scheme are shown in Figure 2. It can be seen that the dry process can effectively improve the cycle life of the battery compared with the wet process. The wet electrode battery cycled for about 252 weeks, and the capacity had decayed to less than 80% of the initial capacity. The battery cycled for more than 300 cycles using the dry process had a capacity decay of less than 80%. Battery 2 cycled for nearly 400 cycles, and the use time increased by about 60%. It can be seen from the comparison that the dry process can effectively improve the battery life compared with the wet process, and the method of the present invention can further optimize the battery performance.

[0070] In summary, the degree of wire drawing of the adhesive of the present invention is high and controllable, which can effectively improve the quality of film formation, reduce the defects of the electrode film, and realize batch continuous production.
