Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing an aqueous primer for lithium battery foil. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum foil plays a crucial role as the positive electrode current collector in lithium batteries. It not only carries the active material but also collects electrons generated by the active material and directs them to the external circuit to form an electric current. Therefore, the electrochemical behavior of the aluminum foil directly affects battery performance. Traditionally, the surface of the aluminum foil has been modified by acid and alkali etching to reduce its surface tension; however, this method is difficult to control precisely and achieves a uniform surface morphology.

[0003] In contrast, surface treatment of the positive electrode current collector using functional coatings is a more effective method. By uniformly coating a conductive material onto the aluminum foil surface, not only can the liquid absorption capacity of the positive electrode be improved, and the adhesion between the active material and the current collector enhanced, but the ability of the positive electrode to collect microcurrents from the active material can also be improved, contact resistance reduced, and polarization decreased, thereby improving battery consistency and rate performance. Furthermore, the functional coating can protect the aluminum foil and slow down corrosion. However, existing functional coatings are susceptible to corrosion by electrolytes, and the heat generated during battery operation may cause the aluminum foil to oxidize, leading to the detachment of the coating, affecting the normal operation of the lithium battery, and even posing safety hazards. Simultaneously, to ensure the active material adheres firmly to the smooth metal current collector surface, a large amount of insulating binder is usually required, which reduces the conductivity and energy density of the electrode.

[0004] Therefore, providing a water-based primer with good conductivity for lithium battery foil is an important problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for preparing an aqueous primer for lithium battery foil. To achieve the above objective, this invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing an aqueous primer for lithium battery foil, the method comprising the following steps:

[0007] The composite conductive material, modified waterborne acrylic resin and dispersant are added to the first solvent and stirred and mixed at 800-1200 r / min for 4-6 h at 35-45℃ to obtain the waterborne primer.

[0008] The preparation method of the composite conductive material includes the following steps:

[0009] Hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes and diethoxy(3-glycidyloxypropyl)methylsilane were mixed and heated to 60–65 °C to obtain epoxy-based carbon nanotubes. Under an inert gas atmosphere, the epoxy-based carbon nanotubes and 1-aminopyrrole were mixed and heated to 60–70 °C to obtain pyrrole-containing ring-based carbon nanotubes. The composite conductive material was prepared by stirring and polymerizing the pyrrole-containing ring-based carbon nanotubes, pyrrole monomers, and anhydrous ferric chloride.

[0010] The preparation method of the modified waterborne acrylic resin includes the following steps:

[0011] After mixing cis-2-butene-1,4-diol and thionyl chloride at 0–5 °C, levodopa was added and the mixture was stirred at 80–90 °C to obtain an intermediate product. The intermediate product, 1H,1H,2H,2H-heptadecyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, and butyl acrylate were mixed to obtain a mixture. Under an inert gas atmosphere, the mixture was mixed with benzoyl peroxide at 100–110 °C to prepare the modified waterborne acrylic resin.

[0012] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes to diethoxy(3-glycidoxypropyl)methylsilane is 1:6 to 8.

[0013] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the epoxy-based carbon nanotubes to 1-aminopyrrole is 1:3 to 5.

[0014] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the pyrrole-containing carbon nanotubes, pyrrole monomers, and anhydrous ferric chloride is 1:0.5-2.5:0.3-0.8.

[0015] Further, the weight ratio of cis-2-butene-1,4-diol, thionyl chloride and levodopa is 1:0.5-0.6:0.4-0.6.

[0016] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the intermediate product, 1H,1H,2H,2H-heptadecyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, and butyl acrylate is 1–2:0.2–0.3:1–1.5:0.8–1.2:1.5–2.

[0017] Further, the weight ratio of the mixture to benzoyl peroxide is 10-20:0.2-0.3.

[0018] Furthermore, the inert gas is nitrogen or argon.

[0019] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the composite conductive material, modified waterborne acrylic resin, dispersant and first solvent is 10-20:20-30:2-4:30-50.

[0020] Further, the dispersant is polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylic acid, or 2-hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] (1) This invention first utilizes an epoxy-based silane coupling agent to react with carbon nanotubes to obtain epoxy-based carbon nanotubes. Subsequently, the epoxy groups in the epoxy-based carbon nanotubes react with the amino groups in 1-aminopyrrole to obtain pyrrole-containing carbon nanotubes. Based on this, the pyrrole rings in the pyrrole-containing carbon nanotubes undergo a further polymerization reaction with pyrrole monomers to form polypyrrole, which then encapsulates the carbon nanotubes, thereby obtaining a composite conductive material. This composite conductive material exhibits a core-shell structure, in which the carbon nanotubes, as the core, possess excellent conductivity. The polypyrrole, as the outer shell, not only effectively improves the dispersibility of the carbon nanotubes and reduces agglomeration, allowing them to adhere uniformly to the surface of the lithium battery foil, but also, as a highly conductive polymer, polypyrrole, after encapsulating the carbon nanotubes, not only does not reduce its original conductivity but also plays a synergistic role, further enhancing the overall conductivity of the composite conductive material, thereby helping to improve the conductivity of the lithium battery foil.

[0023] (2) In this invention, levodopa is grafted onto cis-2-buten-1,4-diol via esterification to obtain an intermediate product, which is then polymerized to obtain a modified waterborne acrylic resin. The catechol structure in levodopa not only enhances the adhesion between the modified waterborne acrylic resin and the lithium battery foil, but also improves the adhesion and durability of the waterborne primer. In addition, the modified waterborne acrylic resin is rich in CF bonds on its side chains, which endows the waterborne primer with good chemical resistance and high temperature resistance, effectively preventing the lithium battery foil from being corroded by the electrolyte, thus providing effective protection for the lithium battery foil.

[0024] (3) The water-based primer for lithium battery foil involved in this invention achieves the goal of forming a high-efficiency coating on the surface of lithium battery foil through ingenious formulation design. This water-based primer is prepared by mixing and stirring a composite conductive material, a modified water-based acrylic resin, a dispersant, and a first solvent. After being coated onto the lithium battery foil and dried, the resulting coating significantly enhances the various properties of the foil. The composite conductive material and the modified water-based acrylic resin work together on the foil surface to form a conductive network, which not only effectively reduces the contact resistance between the active material and the foil but also significantly improves the overall conductivity of the foil, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient operation of the lithium battery.
