Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates generally to the field of electrochemistry, and particularly to the field of energy storage. Specifically, this invention relates to energy storage devices such as secondary batteries, including lithium-ion secondary batteries, methods for their preparation, and production systems thereof. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the large-scale application of energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries, increasingly higher demands have been placed on them. For example, the market demand for high-performance, high-capacity energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries is growing. To increase the capacity of energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries, higher-capacity active materials are typically used, or the amount of active material loaded is increased (i.e., the amount used per unit area, in other words, the active material layer is made thicker). However, when the amount of active material used per unit area is increased, and thus the thickness of the active material layer increases, the specific capacity and cycle performance of energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries decrease significantly, especially under high-rate charge and discharge conditions.
[0003] To meet the growing demand for high-performance, high-capacity energy storage devices, such as secondary batteries like lithium-ion secondary batteries, it is urgent to develop a new type of energy storage device, such as a new type of secondary battery like lithium-ion secondary batteries. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention relates to an energy storage device, such as a secondary battery like a lithium-ion secondary battery, comprising...
[0006] Porous membranes impregnated with non-aqueous liquid electrolytes or gel electrolytes, or solid electrolytes;
[0007] A positive electrode active material layer is coated on one side of the separator or solid electrolyte;
[0008] A negative electrode active material layer is coated on the side of the separator or solid electrolyte opposite to the positive electrode active material layer;
[0009] Positive current collector, which is deposited on the positive active material layer; and
[0010] The negative electrode current collector is deposited on the negative electrode active material layer.
[0011] In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an energy storage device, such as a secondary battery like a lithium-ion secondary battery, according to the first aspect of the invention, comprising:
[0012] (1) Provide a porous membrane and a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte or gel electrolyte, or provide a solid electrolyte;
[0013] (2) Provide a positive electrode slurry including a positive electrode active material and a negative electrode slurry including a negative electrode active material;
[0014] (3) Simultaneously or in any order, the positive electrode slurry is coated on one side of the separator or solid electrolyte, and the negative electrode slurry is coated on the side of the separator or solid electrolyte opposite to the positive electrode slurry, and then dried;
[0015] (4) Deposit a positive current collector on the obtained positive electrode active material layer, and deposit a negative current collector on the obtained negative electrode active material; and
[0016] (5) The product obtained in step (4) is contained in a battery package, wherein, if a separator is used, a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte or a gel electrolyte is injected into the product obtained in step (4).
[0017] In a third aspect, the present invention relates to a production system for manufacturing energy storage devices, such as secondary batteries like lithium-ion secondary batteries, according to the first aspect of the invention, comprising:
[0018] (a) A mixing device that mixes raw materials to obtain a positive electrode slurry or a negative electrode slurry;
[0019] (b) A coating apparatus that coats a positive or negative electrode slurry from a mixing device onto a separator or solid electrolyte;
[0020] (c) A drying apparatus for drying a slurry coated on the diaphragm or the solid electrolyte to obtain a positive electrode active material layer and / or a negative electrode active material layer;
[0021] (d) A rolling device for rolling a positive electrode active material layer or a negative electrode active material layer; and
[0022] (e) A current collector deposition apparatus, wherein the current collector deposition apparatus deposits a positive current collector or a negative current collector on the positive or negative electrode active material layer.
[0023] The cell structure of this invention can significantly reduce the volume and mass proportion of auxiliary components (such as sheet-like current collectors for coating active materials) in the battery, thereby increasing the specific capacity and volumetric capacity of energy storage devices, such as secondary batteries like lithium-ion secondary batteries. Furthermore, in addition to the increase in specific capacity due to the reduction in the mass and volume of auxiliary components, the inventors, after extensive research, discovered that compared to conventional energy storage devices such as lithium-ion secondary batteries that coat positive and negative electrode active materials onto the positive and negative electrode current collectors, and energy storage devices such as lithium-ion secondary batteries that coat active materials only on one side of the separator and deposit current collectors, and attach the other side of the separator to the current collector coated with active materials, and energy storage devices such as lithium-ion secondary batteries that coat positive and negative electrode active materials on both sides of the separator and then attach conventional sheet-like current collectors, the energy storage device of this invention exhibits better electrochemical performance, especially at higher active material loadings.
[0024] This invention improves the specific capacity and cycle performance of energy storage devices, such as secondary batteries like lithium-ion batteries, by coating positive and negative electrode active materials onto a separator and then depositing current collectors on the positive and negative electrode active material layers. Further research by the inventors revealed that this improvement is more pronounced when the amount of active material loaded is increased; furthermore, even with increased charge / discharge rates, the improvement remains significant with increased active material loading, which is beneficial for improving the specific capacity and cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries under high-rate conditions; and even with increased active material loading and increased charge / discharge rates, the improvement remains significant with increased cycle counts. Compared to existing technologies, the energy storage devices of this invention, such as secondary batteries like lithium-ion batteries, achieve improved specific capacity and cycle performance by increasing the amount of active material per unit area to increase capacity, thus better meeting market demands.

For example, the negative electrode slurry is prepared by uniformly dispersing the negative electrode active material, conductive agent, binder, etc., in a solvent (e.g., N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP)) to obtain the negative electrode slurry.
[0098] In some embodiments, the solid content of the negative electrode slurry is 80-90%.
[0099] Step (3)
[0100] In step (3), the positive electrode slurry is coated onto one side of the separator or solid electrolyte simultaneously or in any order, and the negative electrode slurry is coated onto the side of the separator or solid electrolyte opposite to the positive electrode slurry, and then dried.
[0101] This invention does not impose any particular requirements on the coating method for the positive or negative electrode slurry; any coating method conventionally used in the art can be employed. Examples include blade coating, brush coating, spray coating, and dip coating. In some embodiments, the coating speed can be in the range of 1.0-15.0 cm / s, preferably 1.0-8.0 cm / s.
[0102] In some embodiments, after coating, drying can be performed at a temperature of 10-80°C and a vacuum of 0.01-10000 Pa to remove the solvent.
[0103] In some embodiments, the uniformly mixed positive or negative electrode slurry can be heated (e.g., to a temperature of 10-150°C) and then sprayed onto a separator or solid electrolyte. In this case, the slurry still has a high temperature after coating, and the solvent can be removed by evaporation after a period of time, resulting in a dry positive or negative electrode active material layer.
[0104] In the preparation method of this invention, the positive electrode slurry and the negative electrode slurry are coated on opposite sides of the separator or solid electrolyte. See also Figure 1 The positive electrode active material layer 101 is on one side of the separator 102, and the negative electrode active material layer 103 is on the other side of the separator 102; the positive electrode current collector 100 is deposited on the positive electrode active material layer 101, and the negative electrode current collector 104 is deposited on the negative electrode active material layer 103.
[0105] In some implementations, there is no requirement for the order of coating the positive electrode active material and coating the negative electrode active material; they can be performed simultaneously or sequentially.
[0106] Step (4)
[0107] In step (4), a positive current collector is deposited on the obtained positive active material layer, and a negative current collector is deposited on the obtained negative active material.
[0108] In some embodiments, the method for depositing the current collector includes one or more of magnetron sputtering, electrodeposition, electroless plating, spraying, and vapor deposition, with magnetron sputtering being preferred.
[0109] In some embodiments, the magnetron sputtering process conditions are: substrate temperature of 10-150°C, substrate rotation speed of 0-20 rpm, target-substrate distance of 20-200 mm; and main cavity vacuum of 5 × 10⁻⁶ mm. -3 -5×10 -6 The process gas pressure is 0.5-1.5 Pa, the power supply is 20-500 W, and the sputtering time is 60-3600 s.
[0110] In some embodiments, the preparation method according to the present invention further includes a rolling step of rolling the positive electrode active material layer or the negative electrode active material layer. As an example, the rolling may be performed after obtaining a dry positive electrode active material layer, or after obtaining a dry negative electrode active material layer, or after depositing a positive current collector, or after depositing a negative current collector, or at one or more of the above time points. Preferably, the rolling step is performed after obtaining dry positive and negative electrode active material layers on both sides of the separator, to facilitate the current collector deposition step and to allow for better physical and electrical contact between the deposited current collector and the active material layer.
[0111] In some embodiments, the rolling conditions are as follows: rolling pressure of 1-200 MPa, preferably 1-50 MPa; rolling temperature of 20-180°C; and rolling cycles of 1-10. For example, multiple rolling cycles at low pressure can be used. As an example, rolling can be performed 5 times at a pressure of 2-50 MPa. Multiple rolling cycles at low pressure are beneficial for improving the surface quality of the diaphragm, facilitating electrolyte wetting and lithium ion transport, thereby improving cycle performance. As an example, the pressure for rolling can be within the range of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 150, 180, 200 MPa, or any two of these; the rolling temperature can be within the range of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180 °C, or any two of these; and / or the number of rolling cycles can be within the range of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or any two of these.
[0112] Step (5)

For example, the outer packaging may be a hard shell, such as a hard plastic shell, an aluminum shell, a steel shell, etc., or it may be a soft pack, such as a pouch-type soft pack, for example, a soft pack made of polypropylene (PP), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polybutylene succinate (PBS).

[0168] II. Evaluation of Implementation Examples
[0169] 1. Specific capacity test
[0170] After assembly, the button cells were left to stand at 50°C for 12 hours to allow the electrolyte to wet the active material layer. The testing process involved first performing 10 charge-discharge cycles at 0.1C to activate the electrode materials, followed by cycle tests at various set rates. For each cycle, the discharge cutoff voltage for graphite-LFP cells was 2.5V, and the charge cutoff voltage was 3.7V; for graphite-NCM811 cells, the discharge cutoff voltage was 2.7V, and the charge cutoff voltage was 4.3V; for Si / C-LFP cells, the discharge cutoff voltage was 2.5V, and the charge cutoff voltage was 3.7V; and for Si / C-NCM811 cells, the discharge cutoff voltage was 2.7V, and the charge cutoff voltage was 4.3V. After each charge or discharge cycle, the cells were left to stand for 5 minutes before proceeding to the next step.
[0171] The number of cycles is 100-300 (excluding the initial 10 cycles for activation). The average discharge capacity of the total cycle is obtained by averaging the discharge capacity of each cycle. The average discharge capacity is used as the numerator, and the weight (dry weight) of the positive electrode active material layer in the battery is used as the denominator (excluding the weight of current collectors, separators, and other inactive components, thus only reflecting the specific capacity of the positive electrode active material). The average discharge specific capacity is obtained by dividing the two.
[0172] 2. Cycle retention rate test
[0173] After the cycle test is completed, the discharge specific capacity of the last cycle is divided by the discharge specific capacity of the first cycle after the activation process is completed to obtain the capacity retention rate after a certain number of cycles.
[0174] The performance test results of Examples 1-18 can be found here. Figures 2 to 8 The specific capacity and capacity retention rate after n cycles are summarized in Table 1.
[0175] Table 1. Partial process conditions and electrochemical performance test results of Examples 1-18
[0176] *: Number of cycles;
[0177] **: Examples 7'-9' use a different charging rate than Examples 7-9.
[0178] Referring to Examples 1-3, the secondary battery of Example 1 has an average specific capacity of 149.7 mAh / g after 100 cycles, which is higher than that of Example 2 (140.7 mAh / g) or Example 3 (139.5 mAh / g). Meanwhile, the cycle retention rate of Example 1 is 97.6%, which is higher than that of Example 2 (95.5%) or Example 3 (90.7%). Therefore, compared to conventional batteries that coat positive and negative electrode active materials onto the current collectors, and batteries that coat active materials only on one side of the separator and deposit current collectors while attaching the other side of the separator to the current collector coated with active materials, the battery of the present invention can achieve higher specific capacity and higher cycle capacity retention.
[0179] Referring to Examples 7-9, the loading of the active material is 3 mAh / cm³. 2 In the case of the prior art, the secondary battery of Example 7 exhibits an average specific capacity of 139.4 mAh / g after 100 cycles, significantly higher than that of Example 8 (124.4 mAh / g) or Example 9 (96.4 mAh / g). Simultaneously, the cycle retention rate of Example 7 is 93.9%, significantly higher than that of Example 8 (81.7%) or Example 9 (70.0%). In other words, with a higher active material loading, the improvement in specific capacity and cycle performance of the secondary battery of the present invention is more pronounced. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that, compared to the prior art, the secondary battery of the present invention is advantageous in achieving improved specific capacity and cycle performance when increasing the content of active material to improve the capacity of the secondary battery. Furthermore, this also contributes to the "thinning" and "lighter" design of the secondary battery.
[0180] Referring to Examples 7'-9', at a charge / discharge rate of 1.0C, the secondary battery of Example 7' exhibits an average specific capacity of 133.1 mAh / g after 300 cycles, significantly higher than that of Example 8' (85.9 mAh / g) or Example 9' (58.3 mAh / g). Simultaneously, the cycle retention rate of Example 7' is 91.3%, significantly higher than that of Example 8' (32.3%) or Example 9' (4.0%). In other words, at higher charge / discharge rates, the improvement in specific capacity and cycle performance of the secondary battery of the present invention is more pronounced. This indicates that the secondary battery of the present invention also possesses improved rate performance.
[0181] Referring to Examples 13-15, after 150 cycles, the secondary battery of Example 13 exhibits an average specific capacity of 137.6 mAh / g, significantly higher than that of Example 14 (114.6 mAh / g) or Example 15 (114.7 mAh / g). Simultaneously, the cycle retention rate of Example 13 is 91.9%, significantly higher than that of Example 14 (65.3%) or Example 15 (60.0%). In other words, the improvement in specific capacity and cycle performance of the secondary battery of the present invention is more pronounced with a greater number of cycles.
[0182] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements to the present invention without departing from the inventive concept, and all such improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
