Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Reducing the internal resistance of lithium-ion batteries has always been the pursuit of customers. During the cycling process of lithium-ion batteries, the positive electrode impedance dominates. Selecting a new type of conductive agent and building a good conductive network are the main directions for reducing the internal resistance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] In the prior art, generally, the internal resistance of lithium-ion batteries is reduced by increasing the content of the conductive agent or reducing the content of the binder. However, increasing the content of the conductive agent will lead to a decrease in the content of the positive electrode active material and a decrease in the energy density of the lithium-ion battery; reducing the content of the binder will lead to a decrease in the adhesion between the positive electrode material layer and the positive electrode current collector and a decrease in the internal cohesion of the positive electrode material layer itself, resulting in problems such as film peeling and thickness swelling during the use of the lithium-ion battery. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a secondary battery and an electronic device, which can improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery while the secondary battery also has good high-temperature performance and can reduce the internal resistance of the secondary battery. The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0005] In the first aspect of the present application, a secondary battery is provided, which includes a positive electrode plate. The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode material layer provided on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode material layer includes a positive electrode active material and a conductive agent. The conductive agent includes carbon black particles, and the coating rate of the carbon black particles on the positive electrode active material particles is C%, and 60 ≤ C ≤ 98. When the positive electrode material layer includes a positive electrode active material and a conductive agent, and the conductive agent includes carbon black particles, after the carbon black particles are stacked, there is still a certain gap, which is more conducive to storing the electrolyte. And after the carbon black particle units are uniformly distributed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles in a smaller size, the surface area of the positive electrode active material particles can be cut into smaller and more uniform areas, which is beneficial to reducing the Li + and electron diffusion paths and reducing the Li + concentration polarization, thereby improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery; at the same time, the carbon black particles are thinly coated on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, and the appropriate thickness is beneficial to the Li + transport, and can also improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery. And when the coating rate of the carbon black particles on the positive electrode active material particles is within the scope of the present application, while reducing the Li + concentration polarization and improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery, the possibility of direct contact between the surface of the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte is reduced, the secondary battery also has good high-temperature performance, and can also reduce the internal resistance of the secondary battery.

[0006] In an embodiment of the present application, 80 ≤ C ≤ 95. By controlling the coating rate of carbon black particles on the cathode active material particles within the above range, while reducing the Li + concentration polarization and further improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery, the possibility of direct contact between the surface of the cathode active material and the electrolyte is reduced. The secondary battery also has better high-temperature performance and can further reduce the internal resistance of the secondary battery.

In an embodiment of the present application, the particle size of the primary particles of carbon black particles is d1 nm, 10 ≤ d1 ≤ 30. By controlling the particle size of the primary particles of carbon black particles within the above range, the particle size of the primary particles of carbon black particles is small. The small-sized carbon black particles are thinly coated on the surface of the cathode active material, and the thickness is appropriate, which is beneficial to Li + transport and can further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery.

[0009] In an embodiment of the present application, the particle size Dv50 of the cathode material layer particles satisfies: 200d1 ≤ Dv50 ≤ 5000d1. When the particle size Dv50 of the cathode material layer particles satisfies the above characteristics, the carbon black particles can be more closely coated on the surface of the cathode active material, and there can be appropriate gaps between the cathode active materials. The cathode active materials are filled more tightly, reducing the possibility of broken bridges between the cathode active materials, which is beneficial to the construction of the conductive network and can further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery.

By regulating the weight-average molecular weight of the organic polymer within the above range, on the one hand, it can make the carbon black particles have good dispersibility, and the carbon black particles are more evenly distributed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, which can further increase the distribution area of Li + and further reduce the concentration polarization of Li + , thereby further enhancing the kinetic performance of the secondary battery; on the other hand, it can make the substances in the positive electrode material layer and between the positive electrode material layer and the positive electrode current collector have good adhesiveness, and can reduce the expansion of the electrode sheet and the increase amplitude of the contact impedance during the cycling of the secondary battery, and improve the cycling performance of the secondary battery.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present application, the mass ratio of the conductive agent to the organic polymer is 0.5 to 1.0. By adjusting the mass ratio of the conductive agent to the organic polymer within the above range, the conductive agent and the organic polymer have appropriate mass percentages, which is beneficial to Li + transport, and can further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery; it can also make the positive electrode material layer and the positive electrode current collector have good adhesion, reduce the expansion of the electrode sheet and the increase amplitude of the contact impedance during the cycling of the secondary battery, and improve the cycling performance of the secondary battery; and can improve the thermal stability of the positive electrode.

[0027] It should be noted that in the specific embodiments of the present application, a lithium-ion battery is used as an example of a secondary battery to explain the present application. However, the secondary battery of the present application is not limited to lithium-ion batteries.

[0028] The first aspect of the present application provides a secondary battery, which includes a positive electrode plate. The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode material layer provided on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode material layer includes a positive electrode active material and a conductive agent.

Exemplarily, the value of C can be 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, 98 or a range composed of any two of the above values. In the present application, the carbon black particles include at least one of Super P, acetylene black, or Ketjen black. The above "positive electrode material layer provided on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector" means that the positive electrode material layer can be provided on one surface of the positive electrode current collector along its own thickness direction, or can be provided on two surfaces of the positive electrode current collector along its own thickness direction. It should be noted that the "surface" here can be the entire area of the positive electrode current collector or a partial area of the positive electrode current collector. The present application has no special limitation as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved.

[0029] The inventors have found through research that when the positive electrode material layer includes a positive electrode active material and a conductive agent, and the conductive agent includes carbon black particles, there are still certain gaps after the carbon black particles are stacked, which is more conducive to storing the electrolyte. Moreover, after the carbon black particle units are small and evenly distributed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, the surface area of the positive electrode active material particles can be cut into smaller and more uniform areas, which is beneficial to reducing the + diffusion paths of Li + and electrons, reducing the + concentration polarization, and improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery; at the same time, the carbon black particles are thinly coated on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, and a moderate thickness is beneficial to the + transport of Li +Concentration polarization and extend the migration path of Li when combined with electrons on the surface of the positive electrode active material, resulting in poor kinetic performance of the secondary battery; when the coating rate of carbon black particles on the positive electrode active material particles is too large, for example, greater than 98%, and the exposed surface of the positive electrode active material is too small, it will also lead to poor kinetic performance of the secondary battery. When the coating rate of carbon black particles on the positive electrode active material particles is within the scope of this application, while reducing Li + concentration polarization and improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery, it reduces the possibility of the surface of the positive electrode active material directly contacting the electrolyte. The secondary battery also has good high-temperature performance and can also reduce the internal resistance of the secondary battery. In this application, high temperature means a temperature greater than or equal to 60 °C. + Concentration polarization, while improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery, reduces the possibility of the surface of the positive electrode active material directly contacting the electrolyte. The secondary battery also has good high-temperature performance and can also reduce the internal resistance of the secondary battery. In this application, high temperature means a temperature greater than or equal to 60 °C.

[0030] In an embodiment of this application, 80 ≤ C ≤ 95. Exemplarily, the value of C can be 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 95 or the range composed of any two of the above numerical values. By controlling the coating rate of carbon black particles on the positive electrode active material particles within the above range, while reducing Li + concentration polarization and further improving the kinetic performance of the secondary battery, it reduces the possibility of the surface of the positive electrode active material directly contacting the electrolyte. The secondary battery also has better high-temperature performance and can also further reduce the internal resistance of the secondary battery.

[0031] In an embodiment of this application, the stacking thickness of carbon black particles on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles is H nm, 20 ≤ H ≤ 60. Exemplarily, the value of H can be 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 or the range composed of any two of the above numerical values. By controlling the stacking thickness of carbon black particles on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles within the above range, the stacking thickness of carbon black particles on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles is appropriate, which is beneficial to Li + transport and can further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery.

[0032] In an embodiment of this application, the particle size of the primary particles of carbon black particles is d1 nm, 5 ≤ d1 ≤ 40. Exemplarily, the value of d1 can be 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, 23, 25, 27, 30, 33, 35, 37, 40 or the range composed of any two of the above numerical values. In an embodiment of this application, the particle size of the primary particles of carbon black particles is d1 nm, 10 ≤ d1 ≤ 30. By controlling the particle size of the primary particles of carbon black particles within the above range, the particle size of the primary particles of carbon black particles is small. The small-sized carbon black particles are thinly coated on the surface of the positive electrode active material, and the appropriate thickness is beneficial to Li +Transport can further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the particle size Dv50 of the positive electrode material layer particles satisfies: 200d1 ≤ Dv50 ≤ 5000d1. When the particle size Dv50 of the positive electrode material layer particles satisfies the above characteristics, it can not only make the carbon black particles adhere to the surface of the positive electrode active material more closely, but also make there be appropriate gaps between the positive electrode active materials, and the positive electrode active materials are filled more tightly, reducing the possibility of broken bridges between the positive electrode active materials, which is beneficial to the construction of the conductive network and can further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery.

[0034] In the present application, Dv50 refers to the particle size that reaches 50% of the cumulative volume when measured from the small particle size in the particle size distribution based on the volume of the material.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, 3μm ≤ Dv50 ≤ 30μm. Exemplarily, Dv50 can be 3μm, 5μm, 7μm, 9μm, 10μm, 13μm, 15μm, 17μm, 19μm, 20μm, 23μm, 25μm, 27μm, 29μm, 30μm or a range composed of any two of the above values. By controlling the particle size Dv50 of the positive electrode material layer particles within the above range, it can not only make the positive electrode active material have good kinetic performance, but also make the positive electrode active material have good high-temperature performance, so that the secondary battery has good kinetic performance and high-temperature performance.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the carbon black particles contain oxygen element, and based on the mass of the carbon black particles, the mass percentage content of the oxygen element is W O %, 0.3 ≤ W O ≤ 3. Exemplarily, the value of W O can be 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 1.9, 2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 2.9, 3 or a range composed of any two of the above values. The carbon black particles contain oxygen element, and by controlling the mass percentage content of the oxygen element within the above range, the self-dispersibility of the carbon black particles can be improved, and the carbon black particles are more evenly distributed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, which can further increase the distribution area of Li + , further reduce the Li + concentration polarization, and further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, the carbon black particles contain hydrogen element, and based on the mass of the carbon black particles, the mass percentage content of the hydrogen element is W H %, 0.1 ≤ W H ≤ 0.5. Exemplarily, the value of W HThe value can be 0.1, 0.15, 0.19, 0.2, 0.25, 0.29, 0.3, 0.35, 0.39, 0.4, 0.45, 0.49, 0.5 or a range composed of any two of the above numerical values. The carbon black particles contain hydrogen elements, and by controlling the mass percentage content of hydrogen elements within the above range, the self-dispersibility of the carbon black particles can be improved, and the carbon black particles are more evenly distributed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, which can further increase the distribution area of Li + and further reduce the Li + concentration polarization, and further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, the positive electrode material layer further includes an organic polymer, and the molecular weight distribution range of the organic polymer is from 20,000 to 2,500,000. Exemplarily, the molecular weight distribution range of the organic polymer can be 20,000, 100,000, 500,000, 1,000,000, 1,500,000, 2,000,000, 2,500,000 or a range composed of any two of the above numerical values. The above molecular weight distribution range refers to the overall distribution range of the molecular weight of the organic polymer. In the present application, the organic polymer can be used as a binder in the positive electrode material layer. The binder is usually a high molecular polymer, which has both a binding effect and a dispersing effect, that is, it disperses these materials through steric hindrance by attaching to the surface of other materials. Carbon black particles with a high specific surface area are not easy to disperse and require more binder molecules to attach to their surface to disperse them. Under the same content, the smaller the molecular weight of the polymer, the larger the number, and the better the dispersing effect; but binding requires a polymer with a higher molecular weight. Therefore, a polymer with a blended small molecular weight and large molecular weight is selected as the binder. The molecular weight distribution range of the organic polymer satisfies the above characteristics. The molecular weight distribution range of the organic polymer is relatively wide, including small molecular weight and large molecular weight. The small molecular weight and large molecular weight organic polymers are applied to the positive electrode material layer. On the one hand, it can make the carbon black particles have good dispersibility, and the carbon black particles are more evenly distributed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, which can further increase the distribution area of Li + and further reduce the Li + concentration polarization, and further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery; on the other hand, it can make the substances in the positive electrode material layer and between the positive electrode material layer and the positive electrode current collector have good adhesion, and can reduce the pole piece swelling and the growth rate of contact impedance during the cycling of the secondary battery, and improve the cycling performance of the secondary battery.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, the weight-average molecular weight of the organic polymer is Mw, and 300,000 ≤ Mw ≤ 1,500,000. Exemplarily, the value of Mw can be 300,000, 400,000, 500,000, 600,000, 700,000, 800,000, 900,000, 1,000,000, 1,100,000, 1,200,000, 1,300,000, 1,400,000, 1,500,000 or a range composed of any two of the above numerical values. The above weight-average molecular weight refers to the statistical average molecular weight by mass. The molecular weight distribution range of the organic polymer will affect the weight-average molecular weight of the organic polymer. By regulating the weight-average molecular weight of the organic polymer within the above range, the molecular weight of the organic polymer includes both small molecular weights and large molecular weights. When the small-molecular-weight and large-molecular-weight organic polymers are applied to the positive electrode material layer, on the one hand, it can make the carbon black particles have good dispersibility, and the carbon black particles are more evenly distributed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles, which can further increase the distribution area of Li + and further reduce the concentration polarization of Li + , and further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery; on the other hand, it can make the substances in the positive electrode material layer and between the positive electrode material layer and the positive electrode current collector have good adhesion, and can reduce the pole piece swelling and the growth rate of contact impedance during the cycling of the secondary battery, and improve the cycling performance of the secondary battery.

Exemplarily, the mass ratio of the conductive agent to the organic polymer can be 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1.0 or a range composed of any two of the above numerical values. By regulating the mass ratio of the conductive agent to the organic polymer within the above range, the conductive agent and the organic polymer have appropriate mass percentages, which is beneficial to the transmission of Li + , can further improve the kinetic performance of the secondary battery; can also make the positive electrode material layer and the positive electrode current collector have good adhesion, can reduce the pole piece swelling and the growth rate of contact impedance during the cycling of the secondary battery, and improve the cycling performance of the secondary battery; and can improve the thermal stability of the positive electrode.
