Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electrochemistry, and particularly relates to a secondary battery and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Secondary batteries such as lithium-ion batteries have occupied the mainstream position in the market due to their advantages of high energy density, good safety, no memory effect, and long service life. The lithium-ion battery components include an electrolyte, a composite film, and positive and negative electrode sheets containing active substances. Generally, the active substances of the positive and negative electrodes are respectively loaded on the metal current collectors (copper foil or aluminum foil) of the positive and negative electrodes to form the positive and negative electrode sheets, and then the positive electrode sheet, the composite film, and the negative electrode sheet are laminated and molded to obtain an electrode. The composite film can separate the positive and negative electrodes and prevent internal short circuit of the battery, but it allows ions to pass through, thereby completing the rapid transmission of lithium ions between the positive and negative electrodes during the electrochemical charge and discharge process of the battery. The performance of the composite film determines the interface structure, internal resistance, structural stability, etc. of the battery, and directly affects the output power density and safety performance of the battery. The current composite films are mostly polyolefin porous films. Currently, the composite films generally have relatively large interfacial impedance and diffusion impedance, resulting in low output power density of the battery, and their flexibility and resistance to external forces are poor. Especially under some special conditions, such as puncture, overcharge, or foreign object extrusion, it is easy to cause damage to such composite films. Once the composite film shrinks, melts, oxidizes, or breaks, it will cause internal short circuit of the battery, resulting in safety accidents such as battery heating, smoking, or even explosion and fire. Therefore, it is still necessary to continue to develop a battery composite film with low impedance, high output power density, and good mechanical flexibility. Summary of the Invention

The composite film includes a first conductive layer, a first polymer layer, a second polymer layer, a third polymer layer, and a second conductive layer that are sequentially laminated. The first conductive layer is in contact with the positive electrode sheet, and the second conductive layer is in contact with the negative electrode sheet; the first polymer layer and the third polymer layer include a type of polymer, and the type of polymer has a porous structure; the second polymer layer includes a second type of polymer.

[0005] The composite film of the present application is composed of multiple polymer layers and a conductive layer, has good mechanical flexibility and low internal resistance, can improve the safety and output power density of the battery, and can be used as a carrier by itself, with the characteristic of self-support. It can carry the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet on both sides respectively. The active substances on the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are in direct contact with the composite film, so that the composite film and the active substances of the positive and negative electrode sheets form a double electrode unit respectively, shortening the migration path of lithium ions and improving the output power density of the battery.

[0024] In order to improve the problems of large impedance, low output power density and poor mechanical flexibility of the composite film, this application provides a secondary battery, including an electrolyte, a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a composite film disposed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The composite film includes a first conductive layer, a first polymer layer, a second polymer layer, a third polymer layer, and a second conductive layer that are sequentially stacked. The first conductive layer is in contact with the positive electrode sheet, and the second conductive layer is in contact with the negative electrode sheet; the first polymer layer and the third polymer layer include a type of polymer, and the type of polymer has a porous structure; the second polymer layer includes a second type of polymer.

[0025] The composite film of this application is composed of multiple polymer layers and conductive layers, has good mechanical flexibility and low internal resistance, can improve the safety and output power density of the battery, and can be used as a carrier by itself, with the characteristic of self-support. It can carry the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet on both sides respectively. The active substances on the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are in direct contact with the composite film, so that the composite film and the active substances of the positive and negative electrode sheets respectively form a double-electrode unit, shortening the migration path of lithium ions and increasing the output power density of the battery; and because the migration path of lithium ions becomes shorter, the concentration polarization of the electrolyte becomes smaller, the concentration of lithium ions can be made uniform, lithium deposition can be reduced, the interface impedance and diffusion impedance can be reduced, and the safety and output power density of the battery can be further improved. In addition, compared with traditional batteries, the composite film of this application can carry the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet by itself, and can lack a metal current collector, making the battery lighter in weight and lower in density, realizing the lightweight of the battery, which is advantageous for improving the energy density of the battery.

Thus, a class of polymers has high surface properties, is more likely to deposit and adhere to conductive substances, making it easier for the conductive layer to combine with the class of polymers. While increasing the conductivity of the composite film, it is more likely to form a composite film with a stable structure, improving the stability of the composite film structure. The surface energy can be measured by conventional methods. For example, the contact angle method can be used to test the surface energy of the second polymer.

The pore diameter of the class of polymers is greater than that of the second polymer, such that the depth of penetration of the conductive agent only reaches the class of polymers, preventing the conductive substance in the class of polymers from further penetrating into the class of polymers and causing a short circuit.

[0039] The elastic modulus of the second type of polymer is tested by using the plastic tensile test method of GB1040 - 79.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first conductive layer includes at least one of elemental metal, alloy, conductive oxide, and conductive carbon.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first conductive layer includes at least one of silver nanoparticles, carbon black, carbon nanotubes, or graphene.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the first conductive layer includes conductive carbon, the first polymer layer also includes conductive carbon. Based on the sum of the mass of conductive carbon in the first polymer layer and the mass of conductive carbon in the first conductive layer, the mass ratio of conductive carbon in the second polymer layer is 5% - 80%. Specifically, it can be 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or a range composed of any two of these values. Preferably, the mass ratio of conductive carbon in the first polymer layer is 47% - 80%.

[0062] When the first conductive layer contains a conductive carbon material, the conductive carbon material will penetrate into the pore structure of the first polymer layer. The distribution of the penetrated conductive carbon material mainly depends on the thickness, pore size, and deposition conditions of the first polymer layer. If the content of the deposited conductive carbon material is too low, the conductivity may not meet the requirements of conductivity and internal resistance reduction. If the content of the conductive carbon material is too high, when the penetration of the conductive carbon into the first polymer layer is excessive, it may cause a decrease in the mechanical properties of the first polymer layer, such as a reduction in toughness, and may even affect the stability of the overall structure. When the mass ratio of the conductive carbon material in the first polymer layer ranges from 5% to 80%, the composite film can have good enough conductivity and does not significantly reduce the mechanical properties of the first polymer layer, maintaining good stability of the composite film.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first conductive layer includes Ag element, and the first polymer layer also includes the Ag element. Based on the sum of the mass of the Ag element in the first polymer layer and the mass of the Ag element in the first conductive layer, the mass ratio of the Ag element in the first polymer layer is 10% - 80%. Specifically, it can be 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or the range composed of any two of these values.

[0064] When preparing the conductive layer by depositing silver nanoparticles, the Ag element will penetrate into the porous structure of the first polymer layer. The diffusion distance and content of the Ag element are related to the pore size, porosity, pore structure, surface chemical properties of the selected first polymer layer, and the deposition rate of the metal in the conductive layer, and are also related to the deposition conditions. If it is electroplating deposition, the deposition of the conductive layer is related to the current density, electroplating time, electrolyte concentration, reducing agent concentration, temperature, deposition temperature, vacuum degree, deposition time, etc. By adjusting these parameters, a complete surface-deposited conductive layer can be achieved, and the mass of the Ag element in the first polymer can be controlled, enabling the overall composite film to have low internal resistance, good mechanical properties, and low weight. The content of the Ag element can be tested by common methods in the prior art, such as the common ICP test method.

[0065] The first conductive layer can be deposited on the first polymer layer in a conventional manner, such as by at least one of physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, or electroless plating. In some embodiments, the physical vapor deposition includes at least one of vacuum evaporation, atomic layer deposition, or magnetron sputtering. In some embodiments, the power of the magnetron sputtering is 50W - 100KW, and the base film transmission rate of the magnetron sputtering is 0.1 - 0.5μm / s. When the deposited first conductive layer is metallic aluminum, the temperature of the substrate is controlled to be less than 80°C, so that low-temperature film formation of Al can be achieved, making the aluminum denser and having a strong bonding force with the first polymer layer. In some embodiments, in the atomic deposition method, the deposition temperature is 80°C - 120°C, and the thickness of a single deposition is 0.09nm - 0.15nm.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second conductive layer includes at least one of elemental metals, alloys, conductive oxides, and conductive carbon.

[0067] In some embodiments, the second conductive layer includes at least one of copper nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, or graphene.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the second conductive layer includes conductive carbon, the third polymer layer also includes conductive carbon. Based on the sum of the mass of conductive carbon in the third polymer layer and the mass of conductive carbon in the second conductive layer, the mass proportion of conductive carbon in the third polymer layer is 5% - 80%. Specifically, it can be 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or any range composed of any two of these values. Preferably, the mass proportion of carbon element of conductive carbon in the third polymer layer is 50% - 80%.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the second conductive layer includes Cu element, the third polymer layer also includes the Cu element. Based on the sum of the mass of Cu element in the third polymer layer and the mass of Cu element in the second conductive layer, the mass proportion of Cu element in the third polymer layer is 10% - 80%. Specifically, it can be 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or any range composed of any two of these values.

[0070] When preparing the conductive layer by depositing copper nanoparticles, Cu elements will penetrate into the porous structure of the third polymer layer. The diffusion distance and content of Cu elements are related to the pore size, porosity, pore structure, surface chemical properties of the selected third polymer layer, and the deposition rate of the metal in the conductive layer, and are also related to the deposition conditions. For example, in electroplating deposition, the deposition of the conductive layer is related to the current density, electroplating time, electrolyte concentration, reducing agent concentration, temperature, deposition temperature, vacuum degree, deposition time, etc. By adjusting these parameters, a complete surface-deposited conductive layer can be achieved, and the mass of Cu elements in the third polymer can be controlled, so that the overall composite film has high conductivity, good mechanical properties and low weight. The content of Cu elements can be tested by common methods in the prior art, such as the common ICP test method, etc.

[0071] The second conductive layer can be deposited on the third polymer layer by conventional methods, such as at least one of physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition or chemical electroplating. In some embodiments, the physical vapor deposition method includes at least one of vacuum evaporation, atomic layer deposition or magnetron sputtering. In some embodiments, the power of the magnetron sputtering is 50W - 100KW, and the substrate transfer rate of the magnetron sputtering is 0.1 - 0.5μm / s. When the deposited second conductive layer is metallic aluminum, the temperature of the substrate is controlled to be less than 80°C, so that Al forms a film at low temperature, which can make the aluminum denser and have a strong bonding force with the second polymer layer. In some embodiments, in the atomic deposition method, the deposition temperature is 80°C - 120°C, and the thickness of a single deposition is 0.09nm - 0.15nm.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first conductive layer includes silver nanoparticles, and the second conductive layer includes copper nanoparticles. In this way, the first conductive layer close to the positive electrode side can withstand high voltage (working range 3.7 - 4.5V) and has good oxidation resistance, and the second conductive layer close to the negative electrode side has good reduction stability and low voltage stability (0 - 1.5V).

[0073] In some embodiments, the electrolyte includes ethylene carbonate (EC). Based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass ratio of ethylene carbonate is A%. The sum of the thicknesses of the first polymer layer and the third polymer layer is Hμm, and A and H satisfy the following relationship: 80 ≤ A×H ≤ 160. Further, 105 ≤ A×H ≤ 150. The specific value of A×H can be 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, or the range composed of any two of these values. The inventors of the present application found that A×H is related to the electrode impedance of the battery and the output power density of the battery, reflecting the ion transport resistance. A relatively lower A×H is more conducive to improving the output power density of the battery.

[0074] In some embodiments, A is 4 - 8. Specifically, it can be 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, or a range composed of any two of these values.

[0075] In some embodiments, H is 4 - 8 μm. Specifically, it can be 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, 5.5 μm, 6 μm, 6.5 μm, 7 μm, 7.5 μm, 8 μm, or a range composed of any two of these values.

[0076] When H is larger, the composite film has a relatively thicker thickness, and A needs to be smaller. The electrolyte has a lower viscosity and is easier to wet the composite film. When H is smaller, the composite film is relatively thinner, has a higher porosity and a larger specific surface area, which is beneficial to the rapid penetration and uniform distribution of the electrolyte. At this time, A is larger, and the electrolyte viscosity is relatively higher, which can also wet the composite film well.

[0077] In some embodiments, the electrolyte includes an organic solvent, a lithium salt, and an additive. The types of the organic solvent and the lithium salt are not specifically limited in this application and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0089] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the positive electrode sheet, the mass percentage of the conductive agent is 1% to 3%.

[0090] The positive electrode sheet can be prepared by conventional preparation methods in the art. For example, the preparation method of the positive electrode sheet includes the following steps: mixing a solvent, a conductive agent, a binder, and a positive electrode active material to obtain a positive electrode slurry; coating the positive electrode slurry on one side surface of the composite film, and drying and cold pressing to obtain the positive electrode sheet.

It is treated with O2 plasma with a power of 100 W for 3 minutes during the treatment process to increase the surface energy. Then, it is ultrasonicated in a mixed solution of ethanol and deionized water with a volume ratio of 1:1 for 10 minutes to remove surface impurities, and dried in a vacuum oven at 60 °C for 2 hours. This is used as the second polymer layer, which serves as the base film for the first and third polymer layers.

[0102] (2) First and third polymer layers: PVDF-HFP is dissolved in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), and the concentration of PVDF-HFP is controlled at 12 wt%.

The sputtering power is 10 kW, the atmosphere is argon, the working pressure is 0.5 Pa, and the base film transfer rate is 1 m / min. The composite membrane is fixed on a rotatable or tiltable sample stage to improve the uniformity of coverage inside the pores. At the same time, the pore coverage and deposition thickness are monitored by SEM, the thickness is controlled by the sputtering time, and the substrate temperature is kept below the glass transition temperature of the polymer in the composite membrane by water cooling or intermittent sputtering (depositing in multiple short time intervals). After cooling, conductive carbon black is deposited on one side of the composite polymer as the first conductive layer.

Among them, the high purity of the copper target is 99.99%, the sputtering power is 20 kW, and the working pressure is 1 Pa. The composite membrane is fixed on a rotatable or tiltable sample stage to improve the uniformity of coverage inside the pores. At the same time, the pore coverage and deposition thickness are monitored by SEM, the thickness is controlled by the sputtering time, and the substrate temperature is kept below the glass transition temperature of the polymer in the composite membrane by water cooling or intermittent sputtering (depositing in multiple short time intervals). After complete cooling, it is taken out to obtain the composite membrane.

Artificial graphite, styrene-butadiene rubber, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose are mixed with deionized water in a mass ratio of 96:2:2, stirred evenly, and formulated into a negative electrode slurry with a solid content of 45wt%. The positive electrode slurry is applied to the surface of the first conductive layer of the composite film obtained in the above step (3), and then the negative electrode slurry is applied to the surface of the second conductive layer of the composite film. After drying and cold pressing, an electrode is obtained, and then after cutting and welding of the pole ears, an electrode assembly is obtained by winding.

[0121] Examples 22 - 24 compared with Example 1, the conductive carbon in the first conductive layer was replaced with Ag nanoparticles. The specific differences are shown in Tables 1 and 2, and the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0122] Among them, Ag nanoparticles were deposited by magnetron sputtering. The high purity of the silver target was 99.99%, the sputtering power was 200 W, and the atmosphere was argon. The working pressure was 1 Pa, the substrate transfer rate was 1 m / min. The composite film was fixed on a rotatable or tiltable sample stage to improve the uniformity of coverage inside the pores. At the same time, the pore coverage and deposition thickness were monitored by SEM, the thickness was controlled by sputtering time, and the substrate temperature was kept below the glass transition temperature of the polymer in the composite film by water cooling or intermittent sputtering (depositing in multiple short - time intervals).

[0123] Examples 25 - 28

[0124] Examples 25 - 28 compared with Example 1, the elemental Cu in the second conductive layer was replaced with conductive carbon. The deposition method of the conductive carbon was the same as that of the first conductive layer in Example 1. The specific differences are shown in Tables 1 and 2, and the rest is the same. Test method:

[0125] (1) Areal density of the composite film (g / cm 2):Take the composite membranes (without positive and negative active material layers) of the same volume size prepared above, weigh them, and calculate their areal density. The one with a smaller weight has more advantages for the energy density of the battery.

[0126] (2) Electrode impedance test: Use electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to test the impedance of the positive electrode plate (composite membrane and positive active material layer) and the negative electrode plate (composite membrane and negative active material layer), and evaluate the interfacial impedance and diffusion impedance.

[0127] (3) Lithium-ion battery output power density test: Assemble a battery with a traditional PE composite membrane, and the other components of the battery are the same as those in Example 1 to obtain a traditional lithium-ion battery. Perform power density tests on the output power density of this traditional lithium-ion battery and the lithium-ion batteries obtained in the above examples respectively, and calculate the multiple of the increase in the output power density of each of the above examples compared to the output power density of this traditional lithium-ion battery.

[0128] Among them, the power density is tested by the pulse power method (HPPC, Hybrid Pulse Power Characterization), and it specifically includes the following steps: Apply a short-term (such as 10 seconds) large current pulse discharge to the battery, and record the voltage transient response. Calculate the internal resistance (R = Delta V / I) according to the voltage drop (Delta V) and current (I) at the end of the pulse.

[0129] (4) Composite membrane bending mechanical flexibility test: Fix the composite membrane (without positive and negative active material layers) on a bending tester, apply a certain bending radius, and record the deformation and recovery of the electrode assembly at different bending degrees. In this example, the mechanical flexibility is evaluated by the bending radius. The smaller the bending radius, the better the mechanical flexibility of the composite membrane, and vice versa. Among them, Rmin = D / (2σ max ×t), Rmin is the minimum bending radius, D is the bending stiffness of the composite membrane, σ max is the maximum stress borne by the composite membrane during bending, and t is the total thickness of the composite membrane.

[0137] Table 3

[0138]

[0139]

[0140] It can be seen from Examples 1-10 that by changing the types of the first polymer and the second polymer, the elastic modulus or surface energy of each polymer is different, which has a certain impact on the conductive agent content in the first polymer layer and the third polymer, the surface density and mechanical flexibility of the composite film. The scheme of the present application can select a variety of types of polymers to achieve the effect of the present application, and obtain a composite film with relatively low density and excellent mechanical flexibility, which meets the actual application requirements of the battery for the composite film.

[0141] It can be seen from Example 1 and Examples 11-12 that increasing the thickness of the second polymer layer increases the surface density of the composite film and reduces the mechanical flexibility. Therefore, selecting a second polymer layer with a lower thickness is more conducive to reducing the surface density of the composite film and improving the mechanical flexibility.

[0142] It can be seen from Examples 13-15 that A×H is related to the electrode impedance of the battery and the output power density of the battery, reflecting the ion transmission resistance. A relatively low A×H is more conducive to improving the output power density of the battery.

[0143] It can be seen from Examples 1 and 16-18 that as the thickness of the first conductive layer increases, the surface density of the composite film gradually increases, the impedance of the positive electrode sheet gradually decreases, the multiple of the output power density increase decreases, and the mechanical flexibility gradually decreases. It can be seen from Examples 1 and 19-21 that as the thickness of the second conductive layer increases, the surface density of the composite film gradually increases, the impedance of the negative electrode sheet gradually decreases, the multiple of the output power density increase decreases, and the mechanical flexibility gradually decreases. Therefore, selecting a relatively low thickness conductive layer is more conducive to improving the output power density and mechanical flexibility of the battery and reducing the impedance of the electrode sheet.

[0144] It can be seen from Example 1 and Examples 16-18, Examples 19-21, and Examples 22-24 that compared with the solution in which conductive carbon is respectively combined with Ag metal and Cu metal to form a conductive layer, the solution in which Ag metal and Cu metal are respectively used as the conductive agents for the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the battery has a lower electrode impedance and a better battery output power density.

[0145] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application rather than to limit the protection scope of the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
