Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrode materials, and particularly to a binder pretreatment method for dry electrodes and its application. Background Art

[0002] The dry electrode is a new type of electrode preparation process, and the main difference from the traditional wet process lies in the previous electrode production link. The dry electrode process can form an electrode by dry-mixing a binder, an active material, and a conductive agent without using a solvent and then pressing it onto a current collector. Compared with the wet process, the dry electrode process has significant advantages in terms of cost efficiency, performance improvement, structural stability, and production adaptability, and has a strong compatibility with sulfide solid-state batteries, which is an important boost for the mass production of sulfide all-solid-state batteries.

[0003] Since no solvent is used in the dry electrode preparation process, it is difficult for the binder to form a uniform fiber network, resulting in poor mechanical properties of the dry electrode. The existing solution is to mix the active material powder with the conductive agent and then add the binder polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and then apply an external high shear force to the dry mixture to fibrillate PTFE and bond the electrode film powder, and finally extrude the mixture to form a self-supporting film (for example, in patent CN119725367A, PTFE fibrillation is achieved by performing two air flow grinding shears at a speed of 8000 - 12000 rpm). This method requires applying an external high shear force to ensure a high degree of PTFE fibrillation, but the high shear force will greatly damage the structure of the electrode active particles, resulting in a decrease in the conductivity and specific capacity of the electrode. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing method of fibrillating PTFE will cause low conductivity and specific capacity of dry electrodes, the present invention provides a binder pretreatment method for dry electrodes and its application. By using the pretreatment method of the present invention, while enabling PTFE to have a high degree of fibrillation, the damage to the electrode active material caused by the shear force during the dry electrode preparation process can be reduced, so that the dry electrode has both high mechanical strength, conductivity, and specific capacity.

[0005] The specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows: In the first aspect, the present invention provides a binder pretreatment method for dry electrodes, including the following steps: S1: Mix and age polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with a pretreatment agent to obtain a mixture; the pretreatment agent is an organic liquid with a surface tension not higher than 40 mN / m at 20°C; S2: Extract the pretreatment agent from the mixture by subcritical carbon dioxide extraction, and perform freeze-vacuum drying to obtain pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0006] In step S1, during the mixing and aging of the pretreatment agent and the binder PTFE, the pretreatment agent with low surface tension can penetrate into the interior of the PTFE particles, realizing the internal wetting of the PTFE particles, thereby weakening the van der Waals force between the PTFE molecular chains. In step S2, both subcritical carbon dioxide extraction and freeze-vacuum drying are methods for removing the pretreatment agent. The present invention combines these two methods in a specific order, which can produce the following effects: Subcritical carbon dioxide can cause a certain degree of swelling of PTFE, reducing the coiled state of the PTFE fibers, and then removing the residual pretreatment agent by freeze-drying can maintain the loose structure inside the PTFE particles and reduce the possibility of entanglement and aggregation between the molecular chains; When only subcritical carbon dioxide extraction or freeze-vacuum drying is used, or the order between the two is reversed, the above effects will be poor.

[0007] By the above method, pretreating the binder PTFE according to steps S1 and S2 can improve the degree of PTFE fibrillation, reduce the curling, entanglement and aggregation degree of the PTFE fibers. When the pretreated PTFE is used in a dry electrode, it is not necessary to apply high shear force to the dry mixture of the electrode active material, conductive agent and binder, and the binder can have a good adhesion effect. Therefore, high shear force can be avoided from damaging the electrode active material, so that the finally prepared electrode has a high conductivity and specific capacity.

[0008] Preferably, in step S2, the subcritical carbon dioxide extraction is carried out until the content of the pretreatment agent is 0.1 - 1 wt%.

[0009] After the present invention removes a part of the pretreatment agent by subcritical carbon dioxide extraction and then removes the residual pretreatment agent by freeze-vacuum drying. During this process, by controlling the degree of subcritical carbon dioxide extraction within the scope of the present invention (extracting until the content of the pretreatment agent is 0.1 - 1 wt%), the cooperation effect between subcritical carbon dioxide extraction and freeze-vacuum drying can be improved, thereby further improving the PTFE fibrillation effect and endowing the dry electrode with higher mechanical strength.

[0010] Preferably, in step S2, the temperature of the subcritical carbon dioxide is 25 - 30 °C and the pressure is 5 - 7 MPa.

[0011] Preferably, in step S2, the process of the freeze-vacuum drying includes: freezing at a temperature below -70 °C and then drying at a vacuum degree of 0.1 - 50 Pa until the content of the pretreatment agent is lower than 0.001 wt%.

[0012] Furthermore, the freezing time is 200 - 400 min.

[0013] Preferably, in step S1, the pretreatment agent is one or more of aviation kerosene, petroleum ether, paraffin oil, and isoparaffin.

[0014] Preferably, in step S1, the mass ratio between the polytetrafluoroethylene and the pretreatment agent is 4-19:1.

[0015] Preferably, in step S1, the conditions for mixing are as follows: the temperature is lower than 19°C, the rotation speed is 15-20 r / min, and the time is 30-40 min.

[0016] Preferably, in step S1, the conditions for aging are as follows: the temperature is 25-30°C, and the time is 8-10 h.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a dry electrode, comprising the following steps: 1) According to the binder pretreatment method described above, obtain pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene; 2) After mixing the electrode active material and the pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene, press them on the current collector to obtain a dry electrode.

[0018] Preferably, the dry electrode is a positive electrode or a negative electrode.

[0019] Preferably, in step 2), the mixing process is carried out at a temperature lower than 19°C, the rotation speed is 2000-3000 r / min, and the time is 3-5 min.

[0020] Preferably, in step 2), the electrode active material is a positive electrode active material or a negative electrode active material; the positive electrode active material is one or more of lithium iron phosphate, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, and lithium manganate; the negative electrode active material is one or more of graphite, hard carbon, and soft carbon.

[0021] Preferably, in step 2), the conductive agent is mixed with the electrode active material and the pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene together.

[0022] Furthermore, the conductive agent is one or more of acetylene black, Ketjen black, and conductive graphite.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) By successively treating the binder PTFE with a low surface tension pretreatment agent, subcritical carbon dioxide extraction, and freeze-drying, the present invention can effectively improve the fibrillation degree of PTFE, reduce the curling, winding, and agglomeration degree of PTFE fibers. When used in a dry electrode, it can reduce the damage of the shear force to the electrode active material, and thus the dry electrode has both high mechanical strength, conductivity, and specific capacity.

[0024] (2) By controlling the degree of subcritical carbon dioxide extraction within a specific range, the present invention can improve the coordination effect with freeze-vacuum drying, thereby enhancing the PTFE fibrillation effect to a greater extent and endowing the dry electrode with higher mechanical strength. Detailed Embodiment

[0026] First, the present invention relates to a binder pretreatment method for a dry electrode, comprising the following steps: S1: Mix and age polytetrafluoroethylene with a pretreatment agent to obtain a mixed material; the pretreatment agent is an organic liquid with a surface tension not higher than 40 mN / m at 20°C; S2: Extract the pretreatment agent from the mixed material using subcritical carbon dioxide, and perform freeze-vacuum drying to obtain pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0027] During the above pretreatment process, when mixing and aging the pretreatment agent with the binder PTFE, the pretreatment agent with low surface tension can penetrate into the interior of PTFE particles, achieving internal wetting of PTFE particles, thereby weakening the van der Waals force between PTFE molecular chains; subcritical carbon dioxide can cause a certain degree of swelling of PTFE, reducing the coiled state of PTFE fibers, and then removing the residual pretreatment agent through freeze-drying, which can maintain the loose structure inside PTFE particles and reduce the possibility of entanglement and agglomeration between molecular chains. After the above pretreatment, the fibrillation degree of PTFE can be effectively improved, and the curling, entanglement, and agglomeration degrees of PTFE fibers can be reduced. When the pretreated PTFE is used in a dry electrode, it is not necessary to apply high shear force to the dry mixture of the electrode active material, conductive agent, and binder, and the binder can have a good adhesion effect. Therefore, high shear force can be avoided from damaging the electrode active material, so that the finally prepared electrode has high mechanical strength, conductivity, and specific capacity.

By controlling the degree of subcritical carbon dioxide extraction within a specific range, that is, extracting until the content of the pretreatment agent is 0.1 to 1 wt%, the cooperation effect between subcritical carbon dioxide extraction and freeze-vacuum drying can be improved, thereby further improving the PTFE fibrillation effect and endowing the dry electrode with higher mechanical strength.

[0034] Second, the present invention relates to a method for preparing a dry electrode, comprising the following steps: 1) According to the described binder pretreatment method, obtain pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene; 2) After mixing the electrode active material and the pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene, press them on the current collector to obtain a dry electrode.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, the dry electrode is a positive electrode or a negative electrode.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, in step 2), the mixing process is carried out at a temperature below 19 °C, the rotation speed is 2000 to 3000 r / min, and the time is 3 to 5 min.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, in step 2), the electrode active material is a positive electrode active material or a negative electrode active material; the positive electrode active material can be selected from one or more of lithium iron phosphate, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, and lithium manganate; the negative electrode active material can be selected from one or more of graphite, hard carbon, and soft carbon.

[0056] Comparative Example 1 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that: PTFE is not pretreated, and a conventional method of applying high shear force during the preparation of the dry electrode is used to fibrillate PTFE. Specifically, this comparative example prepares a dry electrode (negative electrode) according to the following steps: Graphite, acetylene black, and pretreated PTFE are mixed at a temperature of 15 °C at a rotation speed of 20000 r / min for 10 min, and then pressed onto a carbon-coated copper foil current collector to obtain a dry electrode.

[0057] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that: Step S3 is not carried out, and the pretreatment agent is removed only by subcritical carbon dioxide extraction; during the mixing of graphite, acetylene black, and pretreated PTFE, the rotation speed and mixing duration are increased. The remaining steps are the same as those in Example 1.

[0060] Comparative Example 3 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that: step S2 is not carried out, and the pretreatment agent is removed only by freeze-vacuum drying; during the mixing of graphite, acetylene black and pretreated PTFE, the rotation speed and mixing duration are increased. The remaining steps are the same as those in Example 1. Specifically, in this comparative example, the binder PTFE is pretreated according to the following steps, and the pretreated PTFE is used to prepare a dry electrode (negative electrode): S1: Mix PTFE and petroleum ether with a mass ratio of 4:1 at a temperature of 15 °C and a rotation speed of 15 r / min for 30 min, and then let it stand and age at 25 °C for 8 h to obtain a mixed material.

[0061] S2: Freeze the mixed material at a temperature of -80 °C for 300 min, and then dry it under a vacuum of 50 Pa until the content of the pretreatment agent is 0.0005 wt% to obtain pretreated PTFE.

[0062] S3: Mix graphite, acetylene black and pretreated PTFE with a mass ratio of 90:5:5 at a temperature of 15 °C and a rotation speed of 15000 r / min for 5 min, and then press it onto a carbon-coated copper foil current collector to obtain a dry electrode.

[0063] Comparative Example 4 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that: the order between step S2 and step S3 is swapped, and the pretreatment agent is removed by the method of freeze-vacuum drying first and then subcritical carbon dioxide extraction; in step S4, during the mixing of graphite, acetylene black and pretreated PTFE, the rotation speed and mixing duration are increased. The remaining steps are the same as those in Example 1. Specifically, in this comparative example, the binder PTFE is pretreated according to the following steps, and the pretreated PTFE is used to prepare a dry electrode (negative electrode): S1: Mix PTFE and the pretreatment agent (one or more of aviation kerosene, petroleum ether, paraffin oil and isoparaffin) with a mass ratio of 4:1 at a temperature of 15 °C and a rotation speed of 15 r / min for 30 min, and then let it stand and age at 25 - 30 °C for 8 h to obtain a mixed material.

[0064] S3: Freeze the mixed material at a temperature of -80 °C for 300 min, and then dry it under a vacuum of 50 Pa until the content of the pretreatment agent is 0.15 wt% to obtain a preliminarily dried material.

[0065] S2: Carry out subcritical carbon dioxide extraction on the preliminarily dried material at 25 °C and 5 MPa until the content of the pretreatment agent is 0.0008 wt% to obtain pretreated PTFE.

[0066] S4: Graphite, acetylene black, and pretreated PTFE with a mass ratio of 90:5:5 were mixed at a temperature of 15°C and a rotation speed of 12,000 r / min for 5 min, and then pressed onto the current collector to obtain a dry electrode.

[0067] Test Example The dry electrodes prepared in each of the examples and comparative examples were taken for tensile strength, ohmic impedance, and specific capacity tests, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0068] Table 1 Performance test results of dry electrodes

[0069] Analyzing the performance test results in Table 1, it can be seen that: (1) The dry electrodes prepared in Examples 1 to 4 have higher mechanical strength than Comparative Example 1, lower ohmic impedance than Comparative Example 1, and higher specific capacity than Comparative Example 1. This is because: compared with the prior art (Comparative Example 1) in which PTFE is fibrillated by applying high shear force during the preparation of the dry electrode, in Examples 1 to 4, the method of the present invention is used to pretreat PTFE, which can effectively improve the degree of PTFE fibrillation without applying high shear force, and reduce the curling, winding, and agglomeration of PTFE fibers, thereby better maintaining the integrity of the electrode active material.

[0070] (2) Compared with Examples 1 to 4, although the mixing rotation speed and duration of graphite, acetylene black, and the binder were increased during the preparation of the dry electrode in Comparative Examples 2 to 4, the mechanical strength of the dry electrodes prepared is still lower than that of Examples 1 to 4. This is because: in Examples 1 to 4, the pretreatment agent is removed by the method of first subcritical carbon dioxide extraction and then freeze-vacuum drying. In this process, subcritical carbon dioxide can cause a certain degree of swelling of PTFE, reducing the curling state of PTFE fibers. During the subsequent freeze-vacuum drying process, PTFE is in a low-temperature state, which can maintain the loose structure inside the PTFE particles and reduce the possibility of entanglement and agglomeration between molecular chains; while in Comparative Example 2, only subcritical carbon dioxide extraction is used, and the effect of maintaining the loose structure inside the PTFE particles is not good. In Comparative Example 3, only freeze-vacuum drying is used, and PTFE particles cannot be swollen, so the PTFE fibrillation effect is relatively poor; in Comparative Example 4, subcritical carbon dioxide is carried out after freeze-vacuum drying. Since the temperature during the subcritical carbon dioxide process is higher than that during freeze-vacuum drying, the possibility of molecular weight entanglement and agglomeration will increase.

[0071] (3) Compared with Example 1 and Example 2, the dry electrodes in Example 3 and Example 4 have relatively low mechanical strength. This indicates that the degree of subcritical carbon dioxide extraction will affect its cooperation effect with subcritical carbon dioxide extraction. On the basis of combining these two methods for removing the pretreatment agent, by controlling the degree of subcritical carbon dioxide extraction within a certain range (extracting until the pretreatment agent content is 0.1 - 1 wt%), the PTFE fibrillation effect can be improved to a greater extent.
