[0021] In the related art, the silicon material will undergo a large degree of expansion and contraction during charge and discharge, which easily causes electrode particle pulverization and active material shedding, ultimately leading to a significant deterioration in the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery. Moreover, the expansion degree of the silicon material is greater under high-temperature conditions, resulting in worse high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance of the battery.
[0022] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of this application provides a negative electrode sheet, in which the distribution of the binder can inhibit the expansion of the silicon material, avoid pulverization and shedding of the negative electrode active material layer, thereby improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery.
[0023] The negative electrode sheet of the present application includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer provided on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector; the negative electrode active material layer includes a negative electrode active material and a binder, the negative electrode active material includes a carbon material and a silicon material, and the binder includes a polypropylene compound and styrene-butadiene rubber; the polypropylene compound coats the surface of the silicon material to form a first coating layer, and the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the first coating layer to form a first adhesion layer; at least part of the surface of the carbon material is coated with at least one of a polypropylene compound and styrene-butadiene rubber, and the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the outermost layer of the carbon material; wherein, the polypropylene compound forms a second coating layer on the surface of the carbon material, and the styrene-butadiene rubber forms a second adhesion layer on the surface of the carbon material; The negative electrode sheet satisfies the following relationship: H 1 >1.2H 2 ; In the relationship, the thickness of the first coating layer is H 1 ; the thickness of the second coating layer is H 2 .
[0024] The present application does not limit the selection of the negative electrode current collector, which can be selected according to actual needs, such as copper foil, etc. The negative electrode active material layer of the present application includes a negative electrode active material and a binder. The negative electrode active material of the present application includes a carbon material and a silicon material. The present application does not limit the selection of the carbon material, which can be selected according to actual needs, such as graphite, carbon black, hard carbon, soft carbon, etc.; the present application does not limit the selection of the silicon material, which can be selected according to actual needs, such as silicon oxide, prelithiated silicon oxide, premagnesiated silicon oxide material, silicon-carbon composite material, elemental silicon, etc. The binder of the present application includes a polypropylene compound and styrene-butadiene rubber. The polypropylene compound refers to polypropylene derivatives, such as polyacrylic acid, polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylamide, methyl polyacrylate, etc.
[0025] The polypropylene compound and styrene-butadiene rubber of the present application can be mixed with the silicon material successively, so that the first added liquid polypropylene compound can first adhere to the surface of the silicon material to form a first coating layer, and the later added granular styrene-butadiene rubber can be loaded on the surface of the first coating layer formed by the polypropylene compound in a dot-like distribution form and form a first adhesion layer.
[0026] At least part of the surface of the carbon material of the present application is coated with at least one of a polypropylene compound and styrene-butadiene rubber, and the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the outermost layer of the carbon material; that is, the structure on the surface of the carbon material can be divided into several situations: The first type is that polypropylene compounds and styrene-butadiene rubber are coated on the surface of carbon materials in a mixed manner: there are multiple layers of coating on the surface of carbon materials. It can be that the polypropylene compounds are first coated to form a second coating layer, and then the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the polypropylene compounds to form a second adhesion layer; or it can be that a part of the surface of the carbon material is coated with polypropylene compounds to form a second coating layer, and another part of the surface of the carbon material is coated with styrene-butadiene rubber to form a second adhesion layer.
[0027] The second type is that only polypropylene compounds are coated on the surface of carbon materials to form a second coating layer.
[0028] The third type is that only styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of carbon materials to form a second adhesion layer.
[0029] In the active material layer of the negative electrode sheet of this application, the silicon material and the carbon material are in a mixed state, rather than the silicon material coating the carbon material or the carbon material coating the silicon material.
[0030] According to the above solution provided by this application, after applying this negative electrode sheet to a battery, the battery has excellent cycle performance and storage performance. The applicant analyzed this principle and believes that the reason is that the thickness of the first coating layer in this negative electrode sheet is greater than the thickness of the second coating layer. Since the first coating layer and the second coating layer are equivalent to dense coatings, the thickness of the first coating layer and the second coating layer can characterize the content of the first coating layer and the second coating layer. Under the condition of the same amount of silicon material, carbon material and polypropylene compounds, on the one hand, more polypropylene compounds coat the silicon material, and hydrogen bonds are formed between the polypropylene compounds, the silicon material and the negative electrode current collector, which improves the adhesion between the silicon material and the negative electrode current collector, can inhibit the expansion of the silicon material during the charge and discharge process of the battery, avoid the pulverization and shedding of the negative electrode active material layer, thereby reducing the expansion rate of the negative electrode active material layer, and avoiding the decrease in the conductivity of the negative electrode active material layer caused by the increase in the gap between the silicon material and the carbon material, and improving the insertion / extraction rate and transmission rate of lithium ions in the negative electrode active material layer. At the same time, the coating layer formed by the polypropylene compounds on the surface of the silicon material can reduce the side reaction between the silicon material and the electrolyte and inhibit the decomposition of the electrolyte to generate gas, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery; on the other hand, less polypropylene compounds coat the carbon material, making the conductivity of the negative electrode active material layer higher, which is beneficial to reducing the internal resistance of the battery, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery.
[0031] Specifically, the thickness of the first coating layer and the thickness of the second coating layer can be measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), including the following steps: performing TEM testing on the negative electrode sheet, maintaining a magnification of 20,000 times, selecting 10 different test points on the surface of the silicon material or carbon material for testing, and calculating the average value of the measured thicknesses of the 10 coating layers, which is the thickness of the polypropylene-based compound coating layer. Among them, the selected test points may or may not contain polypropylene-based compounds.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, H 1 > 2.0H 2 . When the thickness of the first coating layer is greater than 2.0 times the thickness of the second coating layer, it can further inhibit the swelling of the silicon material during the charge and discharge process of the battery, and at the same time can reduce the side reaction between the silicon material and the electrolyte to a greater extent, inhibit the decomposition and gas generation of the electrolyte, and can further reduce the internal resistance of the battery, thereby making the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery better.
[0033] In a specific embodiment, the negative electrode active material layer further includes a conductive agent. The conductive agent is coated on at least part of the surface of the silicon material to form a first conductive layer, and the polypropylene-based compound is coated on at least part of the surface of the silicon material and / or the first conductive layer to form a first coating layer; at least part of the surface of the carbon material is coated with at least one of the conductive agent and the polypropylene-based compound. Among them, the conductive agent forms a second conductive layer on the surface of the carbon material, and the polypropylene-based compound forms a second coating layer on the surface of the carbon material.
[0034] A conductive agent is also added to the negative electrode active material layer of the present application. Adding a conductive agent to the negative electrode active material layer can improve the conductivity of the negative electrode active material, facilitate the rapid migration of lithium ions in the negative electrode active material layer, and help improve the cycle performance of the battery. Among them, the silicon material can be first mixed with the conductive agent and then mixed with the polypropylene-based compound, so that the surface of the silicon material is first coated with the conductive agent to form a first conductive layer, and then the polypropylene-based compound is coated on the surface of the first conductive layer to form a first coating layer, or part of the surface of the silicon material is coated with the conductive agent to form a first conductive layer, the surface of the first conductive layer is coated with the polypropylene-based compound to form a first coating layer, and the other part of the surface of the silicon material is also coated with the polypropylene-based compound to form a first coating layer.
[0035] At least part of the surface of the carbon material of the present application is coated with at least one of the conductive agent and the polypropylene-based compound. That is, the structure of the surface of the carbon material can be divided into several cases: The first type is that polypropylene compounds and conductive agents are coated on the surface of carbon materials in a mixed manner: there are multiple layers of coating on the surface of carbon materials. It can be that the surface of carbon materials is first coated with a conductive agent to form a second conductive layer, and then a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the second conductive layer to form a second coating layer; or the polypropylene compound first adheres to the surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer, and then the conductive agent adheres to the surface of the second coating layer to form a second conductive layer; or both the inner and outer layers contain polypropylene compounds and conductive agents. A part of the surface of the carbon material is coated with a conductive agent to form a second conductive layer, and a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the second conductive layer to form a second coating layer. Another part of the surface of the carbon material is coated with a polypropylene compound to form a second coating layer, and a conductive agent is coated on the surface of the second coating layer to form a second conductive layer. This application does not limit this, as long as the adhesion of polypropylene compounds and conductive agents can be achieved.
[0036] The second type is that only a conductive agent is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second conductive layer.
[0037] The third type is that only a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer.
[0038] Therefore, in the negative electrode active material layer of this application, the structure on the surface of the silicon material is divided into two cases: the first case is that the surface of the silicon material is coated with a conductive agent to form a first conductive layer, a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the first conductive layer to form a first coating layer, and styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the first coating layer to form a first adhesion layer; the second case is that a part of the surface of the silicon material is coated with a conductive agent to form a first conductive layer, a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the first conductive layer to form a first coating layer, and at the same time, another part of the surface of the silicon material is coated with a polypropylene compound to form a first coating layer, and styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the first coating layer to form a first adhesion layer.
[0039] The structure on the surface of the carbon material is divided into several cases: the first is that a conductive agent is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second conductive layer, a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the second conductive layer to form a second coating layer, and styrene-butadiene rubber is attached to the surface of the second coating layer to form a second attachment layer; the second is that a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer, a conductive agent is coated on the surface of the second coating layer to form a second conductive layer, and styrene-butadiene rubber is attached to the surface of the second conductive layer to form a second attachment layer; the third is that a polypropylene compound is coated on a partial surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer, a conductive agent is coated on another partial surface of the carbon material to form a second conductive layer, and then styrene-butadiene rubber is attached to the surface of the second coating layer or the second conductive layer to form a second attachment layer; the fourth is that a conductive agent is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second conductive layer, and styrene-butadiene rubber is attached to the surface of the second conductive layer to form a second attachment layer; the fifth is that a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer, and styrene-butadiene rubber is attached to the surface of the second coating layer to form a second attachment layer; the sixth is that only a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer; the seventh is that only a conductive agent is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second conductive layer; the eighth is that only styrene-butadiene rubber is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second attachment layer; the ninth is that a polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer, and a conductive agent is coated on the surface of the second coating layer to form a second conductive layer. At least two of these cases exist, and the structures of at least two cases include a second coating layer and a second attachment layer, and the structure obtained in the first case is the preferred structure. In a preferred embodiment, the negative electrode sheet satisfies the following relational expression: N 1 >1.2N 2 ; In the relational expression, the number of conductive agents within a set square micrometer area in the first conductive layer is N 1 ; the number of conductive agents within a set square micrometer area in the second conductive layer is N 2 .
[0040] The present application does not limit the specific selection of the conductive agent. For example, it can be carbon nanotubes, conductive carbon black, graphene, etc., and can be selected according to actual needs. The number of conductive agents within a set square micrometer area in the first conductive layer of the present application refers to the number of conductive agents within a certain square micrometer area selected on the surface of the silicon material; if the conductive agent is carbon nanotubes, the number of conductive agents within a set square micrometer area in the first conductive layer refers to the number of carbon nanotube strips within a certain square micrometer area on the surface of the silicon material; if the conductive agent is conductive carbon black, the number of conductive agents within a set square micrometer area in the first conductive layer refers to the number of conductive carbon black particles within a certain square micrometer area on the surface of the silicon material. The number of conductive agents within a set square micrometer area in the second conductive layer of the present application refers to the number of conductive agents within a certain square micrometer area selected on the surface of the carbon material.
[0041] In this application, the amount of the conductive agent in the first conductive layer is controlled to be higher than that in the second conductive layer, so that the conductive agent can better form a continuous conductive network with the silicon material and the carbon material, which is beneficial to improving the transmission rate of lithium ions, thereby effectively enhancing the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet, reducing the internal resistance of the battery, and being beneficial to suppressing the swelling problem of the silicon material and avoiding side reactions between the electrolyte and the silicon material, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery.
[0042] Specifically, the amount of the conductive agent within a set square micron area in the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer of this application can be tested by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), including the following steps: performing SEM testing on the negative electrode sheet, maintaining a magnification of 20,000 times, observing the conductive agent on the surface of the silicon or the carbon material, and selecting a set square micron S 设 (such as 9 square microns, 3μm×3μm, or other empirical values, and this application does not limit this) area, observing the number n of conductive agents within the observation area; repeating the above steps 10 times, calculating the average value of the number of the 10 conductive agents obtained from the testing, which is the amount of the conductive agent within the set square micron area on the surface of the silicon material or the carbon material.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, N 1 >2.0N 2 When the amount of the conductive agent in the first conductive layer is higher than 2.0 times the amount of the conductive agent in the second conductive layer, the transmission rate of lithium ions is higher, making the conductivity of the negative electrode sheet better, and having a better inhibitory effect on the swelling of the silicon material, thereby further improving the cycle performance of the battery.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, the negative electrode sheet satisfies the following relationship: 0.8S 2 <S 1 <1.2S 2 ; In the relationship, the percentage of the attachment area of the first attachment layer in the surface area of the silicon material is S 1 ; the percentage of the attachment area of the second attachment layer in the surface area of the carbon material is S 2 .
[0045] The percentage of the adhesion area of the first adhesion layer of the present application to the surface area of the silicon material refers to the ratio of the area of the first adhesion layer formed by styrene-butadiene rubber on the surface of the silicon material to the surface area of the silicon material; the percentage of the adhesion area of the second adhesion layer of the present application to the surface area of the carbon material refers to the ratio of the area of the second adhesion layer formed by styrene-butadiene rubber on the surface of the carbon material to the surface area of the carbon material. When the relationship between the percentage of the adhesion area of the first adhesion layer to the surface area of the silicon material and the percentage of the adhesion area of the second adhesion layer to the surface area of the carbon material is within the range of the above relational expression, styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surfaces of the silicon material and the carbon material, which can improve the flexibility of the negative electrode active material layer, avoid problems such as fracture or damage of the negative electrode active material layer, and at the same time can avoid the increase in the thickness expansion caused by the increase in the gap between particles after cycling, and avoid the deterioration of the kinetic performance caused by the deterioration of local electron and ion conduction, thereby improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery.
[0046] Specifically, the percentage of the adhesion area of the first adhesion layer to the surface area of the silicon material or the percentage of the adhesion area of the second adhesion layer to the surface area of the carbon material can be tested by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), including the following steps: performing SEM testing on the negative electrode sheet, maintaining a magnification of 20,000 times, observing the styrene-butadiene rubber particles on the surface of the silicon material or the carbon material, and selecting a set square micron S 设 (such as 9 square microns, 3μm×3μm, or other empirical values, the present application does not limit this) of the area on the surface of the silicon material or the carbon material, observing the number n of styrene-butadiene rubber particles in the observation area, and at the same time measuring the diameter D of the styrene-butadiene rubber particles (the styrene-butadiene rubber particles are spherical particles), and calculating the area S’ of a single styrene-butadiene rubber particle = 1 / 4×π×D 2 , therefore, the adhesion area ratio of styrene-butadiene rubber = nS’× / S 设 ; repeat the above steps 10 times, and calculate the average value of the 10 adhesion area ratios of styrene-butadiene rubber obtained by testing, which is the percentage of the adhesion area of the first adhesion layer to the area of the silicon material or the percentage of the adhesion area of the second adhesion layer to the area of the carbon material.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the conductive agent includes one or more of single-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
[0048] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage content of the conductive agent in the negative electrode active material layer is 0.02% to 1.5%, for example, the mass percentage content of the conductive agent in the negative electrode active material layer is 0.02%, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7%, 0.9%, 1.1%, 1.3% or 1.5%, etc. When the conductive agent is selected as carbon nanotubes and the mass percentage content of the conductive agent is within the above range, sufficient carbon nanotubes can form a complete conductive layer on the surfaces of the silicon material and the carbon material, which is beneficial to improving the conductivity of the negative electrode active material layer, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery.
[0049] In a specific embodiment, the carbon material includes one or more of artificial graphite, natural graphite, hard carbon, and soft carbon.
[0050] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage of the carbon material in the negative electrode active material layer is 85% - 98%, such as 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, or 98%, etc. When the mass percentage of the carbon material is within the above range, a sufficient amount of the carbon material can improve the conductivity of the negative electrode active material layer, reduce the resistance of the battery, and thus improve the cycling performance of the battery.
[0051] In a specific embodiment, the silicon material includes one or more of silicon oxides, prelithiated silicon oxides, premagnesiated silicon oxide materials, and silicon-carbon composite materials.
[0052] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage of the silicon material in the negative electrode active material layer is 1% - 10%, for example, the mass percentage of the silicon material in the negative electrode active material layer is 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, or 10%, etc. When the mass percentage of the silicon material is within the above range, the silicon material can fully exert its electrochemical performance, ensure the energy density of the battery, and at the same time, the expansion of the silicon material can be inhibited by the binder, avoiding the pulverization or shedding of the negative electrode active material layer caused by the excessive expansion of the silicon material, thereby improving the cycling performance and storage performance of the battery.
[0053] In a specific embodiment, the polypropylene-based compound includes one or more of polyacrylic acid (PAA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and polyacrylamide (PAM).
[0054] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage of the polypropylene-based compound in the negative electrode active material layer is 0.5% - 2%, for example, the mass percentage of the polypropylene-based compound in the negative electrode active material layer is 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.25%, 1.5%, 1.75%, or 2%, etc.
[0055] In this application, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylonitrile or polyacrylamide is selected as the polypropylene-based compound. Polyacrylic acid, polyacrylonitrile or polyacrylamide has groups such as carboxyl, cyano or amide groups, which can form stable hydrogen bonds between the silicon material and the current collector, improve the adhesion between the silicon material and the negative electrode current collector, inhibit the expansion of the silicon material. At the same time, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylonitrile or polyacrylamide is a water-soluble polymer, which is beneficial to the dispersion and mixing of the polypropylene-based compound during the preparation of the negative electrode sheet. And the polypropylene-based compound has low swelling in the electrolyte, avoiding deformation or shedding of the negative electrode active material layer, thereby improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery. When the mass percentage content of the polypropylene-based compound is within the above range, the polypropylene-based compound can fully coat the silicon material, inhibit the expansion of the silicon material, and to a greater extent improve the conductivity of the negative electrode active material layer and reduce the expansion rate of the negative electrode active material layer, so that the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery are better.
[0056] In a specific embodiment, the mass percentage content of styrene-butadiene rubber in the negative electrode active material layer is 0.5% - 2%. For example, the mass percentage content of styrene-butadiene rubber in the negative electrode active material layer is 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.25%, 1.5%, 1.75% or 2%, etc. When the mass percentage content of styrene-butadiene rubber is within the above range, styrene-butadiene rubber can act synergistically with the polypropylene-based compound to inhibit the expansion of the silicon material, and at the same time can improve the flexibility of the negative electrode active material layer, avoiding problems such as fracture caused by excessive brittleness of the negative electrode active material layer, thereby improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery.
[0057] In a specific embodiment, the negative electrode active material layer further includes a dispersant. The dispersant includes one or more of lithium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. The mass percentage content of the dispersant in the negative electrode active material layer is not higher than 1%. For example, the mass percentage content of the dispersant in the negative electrode active material layer is 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9% or 1%, etc. When the mass percentage content of the dispersant is within the above range, the dispersant can be dispersed on the surfaces of the silicon material and the carbon material, avoiding the agglomeration of the silicon material and the carbon material, ensuring the uniform distribution of the silicon material and the carbon material, and at the same time can enhance the stability of the negative electrode active material layer, reduce the sedimentation and agglomeration of the active substances during the cyclic charge and discharge process, and improve the cycle performance of the battery.
[0058] The second aspect of this application provides a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet, including the following steps: S1. Mix the silicon material and the polypropylene-based compound in an aqueous solvent to obtain a first mixture, and make the polypropylene-based compound in the first mixture coat the surface of the silicon material to form a first coating layer; S2. Mix the carbon material and the first mixture in an aqueous solvent to obtain a second mixture, causing a part of the first coating layer in the first mixture to peel off, transfer to at least a part of the surface of the carbon material, and form a second coating layer; S3. Mix styrene-butadiene rubber and the second mixture to obtain a negative electrode slurry, causing the styrene-butadiene rubber in the negative electrode slurry to adhere to the surface of the first coating layer to form a first adhesion layer, and causing the styrene-butadiene rubber in the negative electrode slurry to adhere to at least a part of the surface of the carbon material and / or the second coating layer to form a second adhesion layer; S4. Coat the negative electrode slurry on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector, and after drying and rolling, obtain a negative electrode sheet.
[0059] Specifically, in step S1, add a silicon material and a polypropylene compound in an aqueous solvent, perform a mixing process to obtain a first mixture; in this first mixture, the polypropylene compound coats the surface of the silicon material to form a first coating layer.
[0060] This application does not limit the addition amounts of the silicon material and the polypropylene compound in step S1, and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0061] This application does not limit the specific method of the mixing process in step S1, and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0062] The first mixture prepared in step S1 of this application is a paste-like mixture.
[0063] In step S2, add the carbon material and the first mixture in an aqueous solvent, perform a mixing process to obtain a second mixture; during the mixing process, since the polypropylene compound is a water-soluble compound, a part of the polypropylene compound on the surface of the silicon material in the first mixture will dissolve in the aqueous solvent and peel off from the surface of the silicon material. The peeled-off polypropylene compound will gradually migrate to the surface of the carbon material during the mixing process with the carbon material and adhere to at least a part of the surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer. In this application, basically the surfaces of all silicon materials are coated with polypropylene compounds because the polypropylene compound is first mixed with the silicon material and the amount of the polypropylene compound is sufficient to coat all silicon materials; and, it can be that the surfaces of all carbon materials are coated with polypropylene compounds, or it can be that the surfaces of some carbon materials are coated with polypropylene compounds, because whether the surface of the carbon material is coated with polypropylene compounds is limited by the amount of the polypropylene compound peeled off from the surface of the silicon material and is also limited by the preparation process. The silicon material and the carbon material of this application are mixed and present in the second mixture.
[0064] This application does not limit the addition amounts of the carbon material and the first mixture in step S2, and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0065] This application does not limit the specific method of the mixing process in step S2, and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0066] In step S3, styrene-butadiene rubber is added to the second mixture and mixed to obtain a negative electrode slurry. The styrene-butadiene rubber is large-particle spherical substances. During the mixing process, the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the first coating layer to form a first adhesion layer, the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the second coating layer to form a second adhesion layer, or the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the carbon material to form a second adhesion layer. In this application, substantially all the surfaces of the silicon materials are coated with styrene-butadiene rubber. This is because the content of the silicon materials is less than that of the carbon materials, and substantially all the surfaces of the silicon materials are coated with polypropylene compounds. The adhesion force between the polypropylene compounds and the styrene-butadiene rubber is greater than the adhesion force between the styrene-butadiene rubber and the carbon materials. Therefore, it is possible that all the surfaces of the carbon materials are coated with styrene-butadiene rubber.
[0067] This application does not limit the addition amounts of the styrene-butadiene rubber and the second mixture in step S3, which can be selected according to actual needs.
[0068] This application does not limit the specific method of the mixing process in step S3, which can be selected according to actual needs.
[0069] In step S4, the negative electrode slurry is coated on at least one side surface of the negative electrode current collector, and then the negative electrode current collector is dried and rolled so that the negative electrode slurry is transformed into a negative electrode active material layer to obtain a negative electrode sheet.
[0070] This application mixes the silicon materials and the carbon materials step by step, adds polypropylene compounds only when mixing with the silicon materials, and adds styrene-butadiene rubber finally, so that more polypropylene compounds are coated on the surfaces of the silicon materials, and the thickness and area of the polypropylene compounds and the styrene-butadiene rubber coated on the surfaces of the carbon materials can meet the foregoing relational expressions, thereby being able to ensure the inhibition effect of the polypropylene compounds on the expansion of the silicon materials and the improvement of the conductivity of the negative electrode active material layer by the conductive agent, and further making the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery higher. In addition, the preparation method has simple process, low equipment requirements and wide raw material sources, which is conducive to the industrial application of the preparation method.
[0071] In a specific embodiment, before step S1, there is also step S0: S0: Dry-mix the silicon materials and the conductive agent to obtain a premix, so that the conductive agent in the premix is coated on the surfaces of the silicon materials to form a first conductive layer; and, S1: Mix the premix and the polypropylene compounds in an aqueous solvent to obtain a first mixture, so that the polypropylene compounds in the first mixture are coated on the surface of the first conductive layer to form a first coating layer; S2. Mix the carbon material and the first mixture in an aqueous solvent to obtain a second mixture, causing a part of the polypropylene compound contained in the first coating layer in the first mixture to exfoliate, transfer to the surface of the carbon material, and form a second coating layer; a part of the conductive agent contained in the first conductive layer and a part of the polypropylene compound contained in the first coating layer in the first mixture exfoliate and transfer to the surface of the carbon material. Among them, the conductive agent forms a second conductive layer on the surface of the carbon material, and the polypropylene compound forms a second coating layer on the surface of the carbon material.
[0072] Before step S1 of this application, step S0 is carried out: dry-mix the silicon material and the conductive agent. During the dry-mixing process, the conductive agent adheres to at least part of the surface of the silicon material to form a first conductive layer, and a premix is obtained.
[0073] In step S1, the silicon material coated with the first conductive layer is mixed with the polypropylene compound to obtain a first mixture. In this first mixture, the polypropylene compound coats the surface of the first conductive layer to form a first coating layer, or the polypropylene compound coats the surface of the silicon material to form a first coating layer.
[0074] In step S2, the silicon material coated with the first conductive layer and the first coating layer is mixed with the carbon material to obtain a second mixture. During the mixing process, part of the first conductive layer and the first coating layer exfoliate from the silicon surface and gradually transfer to the surface of the carbon material, causing a second conductive layer and a second coating layer to be formed on the surface of the carbon material; the exfoliation of the first coating layer may be faster than that of the first conductive layer. Therefore, the first coating layer and the first conductive layer may exfoliate from the surface of the silicon material as a whole or separately, so that at least part of the surface of the carbon material is coated with at least one of the conductive agent and the polypropylene compound.
[0075] In step S3, styrene-butadiene rubber is added to the second mixture and mixed to obtain a negative electrode slurry. During the mixing process, the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the first coating layer to form a first adhesion layer, or the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the second coating layer to form a second adhesion layer, or the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the carbon material to form a second adhesion layer. Thus, the structure on the surface of the silicon material in the negative electrode active material layer is divided into two cases: The first case is that the surface of the silicon material is coated with a conductive agent to form a first conductive layer, the surface of the first conductive layer is coated with a polypropylene compound to form a first coating layer, and the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the first coating layer to form a first adhesion layer; The second case is that a part of the surface of the silicon material is coated with a conductive agent to form a first conductive layer, the surface of the first conductive layer is coated with a polypropylene compound to form a first coating layer, and the other part of the surface of the silicon material is also coated with a polypropylene compound to form a first coating layer, and the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the first coating layer to form a second adhesion layer. The structure on the surface of the carbon material is divided into several cases: The first case is that the surface of the carbon material is coated with a conductive agent to form a second conductive layer, the surface of the second conductive layer is coated with a polypropylene compound to form a second coating layer, and the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the second coating layer to form a second adhesion layer; The second case is that the surface of the carbon material is coated with a polypropylene compound to form a second coating layer, the surface of the second coating layer is coated with a conductive agent to form a second conductive layer, and the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the second conductive layer to form a second adhesion layer; The third case is that the polypropylene compound is coated on a part of the surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer, the conductive agent is coated on the other part of the surface of the carbon material to form a second conductive layer, and then the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the second coating layer or the second conductive layer to form a second adhesion layer; The fourth case is that the surface of the carbon material is coated with a conductive agent to form a second conductive layer, and the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the second conductive layer to form a second adhesion layer; The fifth case is that the surface of the carbon material is coated with a polypropylene compound to form a second coating layer, and the styrene-butadiene rubber adheres to the surface of the second coating layer to form a second adhesion layer; The sixth case is that only the polypropylene compound is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second coating layer; The seventh case is that only the conductive agent is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second conductive layer; The eighth case is that only the styrene-butadiene rubber is coated on the surface of the carbon material to form a second adhesion layer; The ninth case is that the surface of the carbon material is coated with a polypropylene compound to form a second coating layer, and the surface of the second coating layer is coated with a conductive agent to form a second conductive layer.
[0076] In this application, the silicon material and the carbon material are mixed step by step, and the polypropylene compound and the conductive agent are added only when mixing with the silicon material, and the styrene-butadiene rubber is added finally, so that more conductive agent and polypropylene compound are coated on the surface of the silicon material, and the thickness, quantity and area of the polypropylene compound, conductive agent and styrene-butadiene rubber coated on the surfaces of the silicon material and the carbon material can meet the aforementioned relational expressions, thereby ensuring the inhibition effect of the polypropylene compound on the expansion of the silicon material and the improvement of the conductivity of the negative electrode active material layer by the conductive agent, and further making the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery higher.
[0077] In a specific embodiment, in step S1, a silicon material, a polypropylene compound, and a dispersant are mixed in an aqueous solvent to obtain a first mixture; in step S2, a carbon material, the first mixture, and a dispersant are mixed in an aqueous solvent to obtain a second mixture.
[0078] The dispersant of the present application includes one or more of lithium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
[0079] In the present application, the dispersant is added in two steps, which can regulate the viscosity of the mixture, avoid the viscosity of the mixture being too high or too low, and avoid the difficulty of the finally prepared negative electrode paste being loaded on the surface of the negative electrode current collector, which is beneficial to reducing the preparation difficulty of the negative electrode sheet.
[0080] To ensure that the conductive agent is fully attached to the surface of the silicon material, the stirring speed for dry mixing is 10 r / min to 30 r / min, such as the stirring speed being 10 r / min, 15 r / min, 20 r / min, 25 r / min or 30 r / min, etc., and the stirring time is 10 min to 60 min, such as the stirring time being 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min or 60 min, etc. Preferably, the stirring speed for dry mixing is 20 r / min to 30 r / min, and the stirring time is 30 min to 45 min.
[0081] In the present application, by regulating the parameters of the stirring treatment in steps S1, S2, and S3, the polypropylene compound, the conductive agent, and styrene-butadiene rubber can be better attached to the surface of the silicon material, and at the same time, an appropriate amount of the polypropylene compound and the conductive agent can be ensured to fall off from the surface of the silicon material and transfer to the surface of the carbon material, so that a negative electrode paste with a specific dispersion state can be prepared, and finally a negative electrode sheet with the contents of the polypropylene compound, the conductive agent, and styrene-butadiene rubber coated on the surfaces of the silicon material and the carbon material satisfying the foregoing relational expression can be obtained, thereby improving the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery.
[0082] In a specific embodiment, mixing is carried out by stirring in step S1.

Preferably, the revolution speed of the stirring is 20 r / min to 30 r / min, the rotation speed is 100 r / min to 300 r / min, and the stirring time is 30 min to 100 min. When the stirring speed and stirring time in step S1 are within the above ranges, the polypropylene-based compound can fully coat the surface of the first conductive layer to form a first coating layer, which is beneficial to the preparation of the negative electrode paste in a specific dispersion state, helps to inhibit the volume expansion of the silicon material during the cycling process, and thus improves the electrochemical performance of the battery.
[0083] In a specific embodiment, mixing is performed by stirring in step S2. The revolution speed of the stirring is 10 r / min to 30 r / min. For example, the revolution speed is 10 r / min, 15 r / min, 20 r / min, 25 r / min, or 30 r / min, etc. The rotation speed is 1000 r / min to 3000 r / min. For example, the rotation speed is 1000 r / min, 1500 r / min, 2000 r / min, 2500 r / min, or 3000 r / min, etc. The stirring time is 60 min to 240 min. For example, the stirring time is 60 min, 80 min, 100 min, 120 min, 140 min, 160 min, 180 min, 200 min, 220 min, or 240 min, etc. Preferably, the revolution speed of the stirring is 20 r / min to 30 r / min, the rotation speed is 1500 r / min to 2000 r / min, and the stirring time is 120 min to 180 min.

When the stirring speed and stirring time in step S3 are within the above ranges, styrene-butadiene rubber can be fully attached to the surfaces of the first coating layer, the second coating layer, and the second conductive layer, thereby improving the flexibility of the negative electrode active material layer and avoiding problems such as fracture and breakage of the negative electrode active material layer, and further enhancing the electrochemical performance of the battery.

[0118] 2. Capacity test In a constant temperature oven at (25±2)°C, charge the lithium-ion battery at a constant current of 0.7C and a constant voltage of 4.53V until the cut-off current is 0.05C, let it stand for 5 minutes, and then discharge it at 0.2C to 3V. The capacity of the battery cell is obtained through the above steps.
[0119] 3. Cycle performance test In a constant temperature oven at (45±2)°C and (25±2)°C respectively, charge the lithium-ion battery at a constant current of 0.7C and a constant voltage of 4.53V until the constant voltage charging reaches 0.05C, let it stand for 5 minutes, and then discharge it at 0.5C to 3V. The capacity obtained through this step is used as the initial capacity, and cycle tests are carried out with 0.7C charging / 0.5C discharging. The ratio of the capacity at the 600th cycle to the initial capacity is used to obtain the capacity retention rate.

After 600 cycles of charging, when it is fully charged, that is, at 100% SOC state, use a micrometer to test the thickness of the lithium-ion battery at this time, and compare it with the thickness of the lithium-ion battery when it was initially half-charged, and the swelling rate of the fully charged lithium-ion battery at this time can be obtained.

[0124] Table 3
[0125] The following conclusions can be drawn from the results of the examples and comparative examples: In Examples 1 to 5, under the conditions of the preferred batching parameters, H 1 / H 2 and N 1 / N 2 are both within the better range, and the performance of the battery cells is relatively good; In Examples 6 to 8, the batching parameters deviate from the optimal range, and H 1 / H 2 or N 1 / N 2 will also deviate from the better range, and the capacity retention and cycle expansion of the battery cells will deteriorate slightly; In Example 10, with the increase in the silicon content, the corresponding cycle retention rate decreases and the cycle expansion increases; In Examples 11 to 12, when comparing two different binders, PAN and PAM, the performance of the battery cells is equivalent to that of the PAA group; In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the batching process was changed, and H 1 / H 2 and N 1 / N 2 The ratios are both lower than 1.2, resulting in a significant deterioration of the cycle capacity retention rate and cycle expansion; In Comparative Example 3, too much silicon content leads to a significant increase in the volume expansion of the battery cell; In Comparative Example 4, the content of the conductive agent is too low, and the electronic conductivity of the electrode is insufficient, resulting in a decrease in the cycle retention rate; In Comparative Examples 5 to 6, the addition amounts of polyacrylic acid and styrene-butadiene rubber are too much, which is beneficial to reducing the electrode expansion, but will also deteriorate the kinetic performance, resulting in a decrease in the cycle capacity retention rate; In Comparative Example 7, the addition ratio of the dispersant CMC-Na is too much, which is beneficial to improving the dispersion and slurry stability, but will deteriorate the kinetic performance, resulting in an increase in the brittleness of the electrode sheet, and the cycle capacity retention and thickness expansion will deteriorate; In Comparative Examples 8 to 11, the parameters of the dry mixing treatment, the first stirring treatment, the second stirring treatment, and the third stirring treatment are too high or too low, resulting in H 1 / H 2 or N 1 / N 2 The ratios are both lower than 1.2, resulting in an obvious deterioration of the battery performance; Comparative Example 12: Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used to replace PAA. Since the elastic modulus of polyvinylpyrrolidone is small, it cannot effectively restrain the volume expansion of silicon, and the thickness expansion of the battery cell increases; In Comparative Example 13, PAA was not added, and the expansion of silicon materials could not be effectively inhibited, resulting in a significant deterioration of the thickness expansion of the battery cell; In Comparative Example 14, SBR was not added, resulting in excessive brittleness of the electrode sheet and a reduced inhibitory effect on the expansion of silicon materials, leading to a significant deterioration of the thickness expansion of the battery cell.
