[0002] Lithium-ion batteries offer numerous advantages, including high voltage, high capacity, long cycle life, low self-discharge efficiency, and excellent safety. They are widely used in 3C / digital products, electric vehicles, energy storage, and other fields. The negative electrode is a crucial component of lithium-ion batteries, and its composition and structure have a decisive influence on their electrochemical performance.

[0003] Among many factors, the negative electrode active material, as an important component of lithium-ion batteries, has a particularly significant impact on the performance of lithium-ion batteries. During the charge and discharge cycle of the battery, as lithium ions are inserted and removed, the negative electrode active material will undergo volume changes. In particular, silicon materials often undergo volume changes of 120% to 300% or even more than 300%, which will worsen the interface contact and lead to a decline in battery performance. When preparing the negative electrode sheet by dry method, the volume expansion of the negative electrode active material will cause interfacial debonding with conductive agents, binders and other materials, resulting in failure of the electrode structure during the charge and discharge process. By increasing the content of binder between the negative electrode active materials, the adverse effects caused by the expansion of the negative electrode active material can be improved to a certain extent, but it will affect the charge and discharge performance, capacity attenuation, etc. of the battery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0022] It should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make disclosure thorough and complete and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The present invention proposes a dry-process negative electrode sheet, comprising at least a negative electrode current collector and a dry-process negative electrode active layer. The dry-process negative electrode active layer is disposed on at least one surface along the thickness direction of the negative electrode current collector. The dry-process negative electrode active layer comprises a negative electrode active material, a conductive agent, and a binder. The uniformity of the binder in the dry-process negative electrode active layer is, for example, 85%-96%. The negative electrode active material comprises a silicon material, including but not limited to silicon, silicon-carbon material, and silicon-oxygen negative electrode material (SiO x, (0 < x < 2), etc. Among them, the silicon-carbon material is, for example, a structure in which silicon is embedded in a porous carbon material. The binder is used to connect the negative electrode active materials to each other or substances such as the negative electrode active material and the conductive agent. However, the binder is an insulating substance. If the distribution of the binder is uneven, it will lead to increased powder shedding or insulating regions, resulting in a reduction in ion conduction paths. Among them, the uniformity is defined as the degree of dispersion of the binder distribution in multiple detection regions of the negative electrode sheet, and the degree of dispersion and the uniformity are negatively correlated. In the dry-process negative electrode sheet provided by the present invention, by improving the uniformity of the binder in the dry-process negative electrode active layer, the expansion of the negative electrode active material can be inhibited. On the premise of ensuring the mechanical stability of the negative electrode sheet, the effective transmission of lithium ions and electrons can be promoted, the performance of the negative electrode sheet can be improved, the risk of shedding and short circuit of the dry-process negative electrode active layer can be reduced, and the safety performance can be improved.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, the existing form of the binder in the dry-process negative electrode active layer is nanofibers, forming a three-dimensional nanofiber network structure. The diameter d of the nanofibers 50 is 10 nm - 50 nm, d 90 / d 10 ≤ 1.5. Among them, d 50 is the diameter when the cumulative number of nanofibers from small to large reaches 50%, and d 10 is the diameter when the cumulative number of nanofibers from small to large reaches 10%, and d 90 is the diameter when the cumulative number of nanofibers from small to large reaches 90%. If the diameter of the nanofibers is too small, the cohesive force will be too low. If the cohesive force is too low, the expansion problem of the negative electrode active material cannot be inhibited, resulting in problems such as particle pulverization, collapse of the conductive network, electrode shedding or interface contact failure. On the contrary, if the diameter of the nanofibers is too large, although the strength of the nanofibers increases, the insulating regions between the negative electrode active materials will increase, and the ion conduction paths will decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate nanofiber diameter of the binder, which can not only ensure the strength of the three-dimensional nanofiber network structure, ensure sufficient cohesive force, inhibit the expansion problem of the negative electrode active material, and avoid the dry-process negative electrode sheet from being too fragile, but also make the conduction paths more and more smooth, improving the ion transmission ability. At the same time, d 90 / d 10 ≤ 1.5, that is, the thickness uniformity of the nanofiber diameter is high and the distribution is uniform, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the binder in the dry-process negative electrode active layer, can avoid the ion transmission being blocked due to locally too thick fibers, and can also avoid the insufficient local mechanical strength caused by locally too thin fibers, thereby improving the performance of the dry-process negative electrode sheet.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, the binder includes one or more of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), ethylene-octene copolymer, or polyimide (PI). The molecular weight of the binder is, for example, 6000 kg / mol to 8000 kg / mol, to improve the adhesive properties of the binder and the strength of the formed nanofibers. The binder content in the dry-process negative electrode active layer is, for example, 0.5 wt% to 5 wt%. When the binder content is low, the cohesive force of the dry-process negative electrode sheet is low. When the binder content is high, the binder content is too high for insulation within the dry-process negative electrode active layer, resulting in an increase in nanofiber diameter and a decrease in nanofiber distribution uniformity, thereby reducing the number of ion pathways. Therefore, by controlling the content of the binder, the strength and conductivity of the negative electrode sheet can be improved.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, the negative electrode active material further comprises a graphite material. The graphite material comprises, for example, at least one of natural graphite or artificial graphite. Natural graphite comprises at least one of block graphite, flake graphite, or earthy graphite. Artificial graphite comprises at least one of single crystal graphite, polycrystalline graphite, pyrolytic graphite, or graphite fiber. The mass percentage of the silicon material in the negative electrode active material is, for example, 0-100 wt%, and further, for example, 0, 10 wt%, 13 wt%, 26 wt%, 50 wt%, or 100 wt%.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the silicon content of the negative electrode active material is A wt%, and the binder nanofibers are wrapped around the surface of the negative electrode active material, with the nanofiber area coverage of the negative electrode active material being B%. The dry-process negative electrode active layer satisfies the following relationship: -55 ≤ 0.45 AB ≤ -45. As the silicon content increases, the expansion of the negative electrode active material increases. By increasing the nanofiber area coverage of the negative electrode active material, the expansion suppression effect is enhanced. Therefore, by controlling the relationship between the silicon content of the negative electrode active material and the nanofiber area coverage of the negative electrode active material, the electrode sheet strength can be improved while suppressing expansion.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the conductive agent is selected from at least one of graphite, graphene, carbon black, carbon fiber, or carbon nanotubes, and the content of the conductive agent in the dry-process negative electrode active layer is, for example, 1wt%-5wt%. The carbon black is, for example, conductive carbon black (Super P), and the carbon fiber includes, for example, at least one of carbon nanofibers (CNF), vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF), or vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNF). In one embodiment of the present invention, the conductive agent includes, for example, carbon black and carbon fiber, and the mass ratio of carbon black to carbon fiber is, for example, 1:(0.2-1.5), or, for example, 1:1.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dry-process negative electrode active layer further includes a solid electrolyte, which is selected from at least one of an oxide solid electrolyte, a sulfide solid electrolyte, and a halide solid electrolyte, and is further selected from Li7La3Zr2O 12 、Li 13 Al3Ti 17 (PO4)3、Li 10 GeP2S 12 , Li6PS5Cl, Li3InCl6 or Li3YCl6, etc. When the dry-process negative electrode active layer includes a solid electrolyte, the mass ratio of the negative electrode active material, solid electrolyte, conductive agent and binder is, for example, (60-93): (5.5-30): (1-5): (0.5-5). In one embodiment of the present invention, the areal capacity of the dry-process negative electrode sheet is, for example, 1 mAh / cm 2 -10mAh / cm 2 , areal capacity refers to the amount of charge that can be stored per unit area of the electrode, usually expressed as the area carrying capacity per unit area (mAh / cm 2 )express.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the negative electrode current collector is, for example, carbon-coated copper foil. The carbon coating layer is primarily composed of a conductive carbon material and a binder. The conductive carbon material includes one or more of conductive carbon black, acetylene black, or carbon nanotubes. The binder includes one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyacrylic acid (PAA), or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The mass ratio of the conductive carbon material to the binder is, for example, 60-95:5-40. The thickness of the carbon coating layer is, for example, 1 μm to 3 μm, to improve the conductivity between the dry-process negative electrode active layer and the negative electrode current collector. In other embodiments, the current collector may also use other negative electrode current collectors commonly used in the art.

[0032] Based on the above-mentioned dry-process negative electrode sheet, the present invention also proposes a preparation method of a dry-process negative electrode sheet, which at least includes: screening binder particles with a preset median particle size; mixing the negative electrode active material, the conductive agent, and the binder particles to obtain a mixture; fibrillating the mixture to obtain a fibrillated material; cooling the fibrillated material to a target temperature at a preset rate, and applying shear at the same time to obtain an intermediate product; crushing and granulating the intermediate product to obtain a dry-process negative electrode material; forming the dry-process negative electrode material into a film through multi-roll continuous rolling to obtain a dry-process negative electrode active layer; and compounding the dry-process negative electrode active layer with the negative electrode current collector to obtain a dry-process negative electrode sheet.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the binder is cooled to a brittle point of -40°C and ground using a closed-circuit temperature pulverizing device to obtain a ground binder. The ground binder is sieved through sieves of different apertures to obtain PTFE particles with a preset median particle size. The median particle size D50 refers to the particle size value corresponding to the cumulative volume distribution percentage reaching 50% in the volume distribution curve. In this embodiment, the sieve aperture is, for example, 20μm-270μm, and the preset temperature is, for example, 5°C-20°C. Sieving at a preset temperature can prevent the binder from agglomerating due to excessively high temperature, thereby obtaining solid binder particles, and the preset median particle size of the obtained binder particles is, for example, 20μm-250μm.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, when obtaining a mixture, the negative electrode active material and the conductive agent are first mixed to obtain a premix. Optionally, when the premix also includes a solid electrolyte, at this time, the negative electrode active material, the solid electrolyte and the conductive agent are mixed to obtain a premix, and then the premix and the binder particles are mixed to obtain a mixture. Wherein, when obtaining the premix, the components of the premix are mixed more evenly by stirring, such as the linear speed of stirring can be controlled to be 20m / s-40m / s, the stirring time can be 20min-60min, and the processing temperature can be 5℃-60℃. When obtaining the mixture, the components of the mixture are mixed more evenly by stirring, such as the linear speed of stirring can be controlled to be 5m / s-20m / s, the stirring time can be 20min-60min, and the processing temperature can be 5℃-20℃. When obtaining the premix, the uniform mixing of components other than the binder is improved by increasing the line speed. When obtaining the mixture, the processing temperature (such as the temperature of the mixture during stirring is lower than the stirring temperature of the premix) and the line speed are controlled to avoid problems such as agglomeration or local overheating of the binder particles due to excessively high temperature, thereby avoiding uneven dispersion of the binder particles in the mixture.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mixed material is subjected to fibrillation treatment to obtain a fibrillated material. In this embodiment, the fibrillation includes a first stage, a second stage and a third stage. In the first stage, the treatment temperature is, for example, 20°C-40°C, the stirring linear speed is, for example, 20m / s-30m / s, and the stirring time is, for example, 10min-30min; in the second stage, the treatment temperature is, for example, 60°C-80°C, the stirring linear speed is, for example, 40m / s-60m / s, and the stirring time is, for example, 10min-30min; in the third stage, the treatment temperature is, for example, 90°C-120°C, the stirring linear speed is, for example, 60m / s-70m / s, and the stirring time is, for example, 60min-120min. Through the three-stage fibrillation treatment, the step-by-step temperature increase and segmented speed-up shearing of the fibrillation are controlled to prevent excessive breakage or agglomeration of the binder. The high linear speed and time of the third stage are used to maximize the uniformity of the binder, thereby converting the binder particles into nanofibers. The nanofibers form a uniform and dense three-dimensional network structure, thereby improving the strength of the negative electrode sheet obtained later. In this embodiment, due to the limitations of the production process, the d 90 / d 10 ≥1.2.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the fibrillation treatment step, the fibrillated material is cooled to a target temperature at a preset rate, for example, the preset rate is 10°C / min-15°C / min, and the target temperature is, for example, 25°C-40°C. During the cooling process, shearing is applied simultaneously to obtain an intermediate product. In this embodiment, the shearing is, for example, pulse shearing, and one pulse shearing includes shearing at 8m / s-10m / s for 4s-6s and shearing at 3m / s-5m / s for 8s-12s. Through rapid cooling and pulse shearing, the fiber structure can be locked to avoid fiber shrinkage caused by natural cooling, thereby stabilizing the size and distribution state of the nanofibers and obtaining a highly uniform binder distribution. At the same time, the d of the nanofibers formed by the binder can be reduced by step-by-step heating, segmented speed-up shearing, rapid cooling and pulse shearing. 90 / d 10 , improving the uniformity of nanofiber diameter.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate product is crushed and granulated to obtain a dry negative electrode material, and the dry negative electrode material is formed into a film by multi-roll continuous rolling and thinned to a set surface capacity, for example, 1 mAh / cm 2 -10mAh / cm 2, obtaining a dry-process negative electrode active layer. The dry-process negative electrode active layer is then composited with the negative electrode current collector to form a dry-process negative electrode sheet. For example, the dry-process negative electrode active layer is bonded to the carbon-coated layer of the negative electrode current collector and composited at a temperature of, for example, 20°C to 100°C and a pressure of, for example, 0.8 tons to 1.2 tons. By manipulating the parameters used in preparing the dry-process negative electrode sheet, the components in the dry-process negative electrode active layer are more evenly distributed, and the binder fibrillation effect is enhanced, resulting in a dry-process negative electrode sheet with superior performance, thereby increasing the battery capacity.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the median particle size of the binder particles is X1 μm, and the diameter d of the nanofibers in the dry-process negative electrode active layer is 50 is X2nm, satisfying the relationship: -5≤0.2X1-X2≤5. That is, when the median particle size of the binder particles is smaller, the diameter of the binder nanofibers in the dry-process negative electrode active layer is finer, the nanofibers are fragile, resulting in reduced cohesion and the inability to suppress the expansion of silicon. When the median particle size of the binder particles is larger, the diameter of the obtained binder nanofibers is larger, the ion path is reduced, and it is not conducive to ion transmission. The fiber network formed by the large-particle binder during the fiberization process is coarser, and there is less physical entanglement between the fibers, which may lead to weaker cohesion. That is, the cohesion first increases and then decreases with the increase of the fiber diameter. The particle size value where the median particle size of the binder particles is less than 50μm is the inflection point of the change in cohesion of the dry-process negative electrode sheet. At the same time, the large-particle binder has poor dispersibility, which easily leads to uneven distribution of the binder. Therefore, by controlling the particle size of the binder particles and allowing the diameter of the binder nanofibers distributed between the negative electrode active materials to be within a set range, it is possible to provide appropriate cohesive force and inhibit the expansion of the negative electrode active materials. Appropriate nanofiber diameters can provide more ion pathways, thereby improving the performance of dry-process negative electrode sheets. At the same time, by controlling the particle size and content of the binder to meet a certain range, dry-process negative electrode sheets with excellent performance can be prepared, which can inhibit the expansion of the negative electrode active materials, reduce problems such as sheet powdering, cracking, and electrode shedding, thereby improving the capacity and cycle performance of all-solid-state batteries.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the area coverage of the negative electrode active material by the nanofibers is related to the diameter d of the nanofibers in the dry-process negative electrode active layer. 50 The area coverage of the nanofibers on the negative electrode active material decreases with the diameter d of the nanofibers. 50The area coverage of the negative electrode active material by the nanofibers increases with the decrease of the binder content, and the area coverage of the negative electrode active material by the nanofibers is positively correlated with the binder content in the dry negative electrode active layer, that is, when the preparation method and other conditions are consistent, as the binder content increases, the area coverage of the negative electrode active material by the nanofibers increases. When the median particle size D50 of the binder particles is ≥50μm, as the area coverage of the negative electrode active material by the nanofibers increases, the expansion rate is better suppressed. However, when the median particle size D50 of the binder particles is <50μm, the strength and cohesion of the nanofibers need to be considered. As the area coverage of the negative electrode active material by the nanofibers decreases, the expansion rate increases. However, if the strength of the nanofibers is too small, the expansion may not be suppressed. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the uniformity and the d of the nanofibers. 50 and multiple factors such as area coverage to ensure the effect of suppressing expansion.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the uniformity of the binder in the dry-process negative electrode active layer is, for example, X3%, and the following relationship is satisfied: 96≤0.054X1+X3≤100. This means that the smaller the binder particle size, the finer the diameter of the resulting binder nanofibers, and the higher the uniformity of the binder in the dry-process negative electrode active layer, which can improve ion conductivity. Furthermore, when the binder nanofibers are finer, the specific surface area of the ultrafine nanofiber network is significantly increased, increasing the surface area of the negative electrode active material that can be covered by the binder per unit mass by several times, thereby achieving improved surface coverage of the negative electrode active material. However, the strength of individual nanofibers is weakened, making them susceptible to breakage due to expansion of the negative electrode active material. Therefore, by comprehensively considering the requirements for negative electrode silicon content, binder particle size, nanofiber diameter, and uniformity, the diameter and distribution uniformity of the binder nanofibers can be precisely controlled according to the different silicon contents of the negative electrode active materials, thereby suppressing the expansion of the negative electrode active material and achieving a balance between the strength and performance of the negative electrode sheet.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the negative electrode active material is pure silicon, the median particle size of the binder particles is, for example, 40 μm to 60 μm, and the binder content in the dry-process negative electrode active layer is, for example, 2 wt% to 4 wt%. When the negative electrode active material is pure silicon, selecting binder particles with a median particle size of 40 μm to 60 μm can control the diameter of the formed nanofibers, improve cohesion, and increase the uniformity of the binder. Furthermore, by adjusting the binder content, a corresponding area coverage rate can be achieved on the surface of the negative electrode active material, thereby increasing the strength of the nanofibers, improving the cohesion of the dry-process negative electrode sheet, suppressing the expansion of the silicon material, and improving the performance of the negative electrode sheet.

[0042] The present invention also provides an all-solid-state lithium-ion battery comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a solid electrolyte layer, wherein the solid electrolyte layer is disposed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and the negative electrode sheet is selected from the dry-process negative electrode sheet described above.

[0072] In the present invention, all unlabeled reagents and raw materials used in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7 are commercially available. Performance tests were performed on the dry-process negative electrode sheets and all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7, and the test results were recorded.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, to determine the uniformity of the binder in the dry-process negative electrode active layer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) can be used to confirm the specific type of binder in the electrode. For example, the binder type can be determined by directly examining the electrode surface or scraping a powder sample based on the peak positions of characteristic functional groups. After determining the binder type, the characteristic chemical bonds of the binder are selected as the target for characterization. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) is used to observe the uniformity of the binder on the surface of the dry-process negative electrode. Specifically, increasing the magnification to 5000x allows for optimal observation of the uniformity of the binder distribution. The specific process involves first selecting the central area of the electrode as the observation target. Five 50μm x 50μm areas are randomly selected, arranged along the same line with a center-to-center spacing of 500μm. EDS surface scanning is used to determine the proportions of different elements, and the characteristic element of the binder is selected as the result for that area, such as F for PTFE. Obtain the ratio of the mean difference of the F element content in these five regions to the average, and subtract this ratio from 1. The result obtained is used as the uniformity of the binder within the dry-process negative electrode sheet of a sample. Five dry-process negative electrode sheets obtained from the same embodiment or comparative example are selected as parallel samples. The binder uniformity data for these five parallel samples is obtained, and the average value is recorded as the binder uniformity for that embodiment or comparative example.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present invention, the binder content is obtained by testing the characteristic element absorption peak of the binder by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. For example, PTFE has a unique infrared absorption peak (such as 1200 cm -1 -1300cm -1FTIR can be used to quantitatively analyze the PTFE content, specifically the C-F bond vibration peak at the center of the FTIR spectrum. Procedure: Grind the dry-process anode active layer sample into a powder, mix the powder with KBr, and press the pellet. Alternatively, directly use ATR (attenuated total reflectance) mode to collect the sample's infrared spectrum and quantitatively analyze the PTFE content in the dry-process anode active layer using a calibration curve or peak area integration.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present invention, the binder exists in the form of nanofibers in the dry-process negative electrode sheet, and the diameter of the nanofibers is tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The negative electrode sheet is placed in a test device, and at a maximum magnification of 50,000, fibers with a length greater than 5 μm are taken. A point value width is taken every 200 nm along the fiber axis, and the average value of the width of each point value is obtained as the diameter of the fiber. 100 fibers are randomly selected and arranged from small to large in diameter to obtain the diameters at the 10th, 50th, and 90th positions, which are recorded as d 10 d 50 d 90 .

[0076] Five dry-process negative electrode sheets obtained in the same embodiment or comparative example were selected as parallel samples. The d value of the nanofiber binder of each parallel sample was obtained as above. 10 d 50 and d 90 , and obtain d for 5 parallel samples 50 and d 90 / d 10 The average value is taken as the d value of this embodiment or comparative example. 50 and d 90 / d 10 Numeric value.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, after dry-process preparation and fibrillation of the binder, the area coverage of the negative electrode active material by nanofibers is primarily measured using microscopic imaging combined with elemental analysis techniques: Five 50 μm × 50 μm observation areas with a spacing of ≥100 μm are randomly selected from the center of the negative electrode plate. SEM topography imaging and EDS elemental surface scanning (for characteristic elements of the binder, such as F in PTFE) are simultaneously performed on each area. Image processing software is used to measure the total projected area of all active material particles within the area and the area covered by the characteristic element signal on the surface. The coverage of each area is calculated as (binder coverage area / total active material area × 100%). The arithmetic average of the coverage rates of the five areas is ultimately used as the nanofiber area coverage of the electrode plate. The average of the nanofiber area coverage of the negative electrode active material in the five parallel sample test areas is the area coverage of the nanofibers on the negative electrode active material for that electrode plate.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to obtain normal temperature cycle performance, the all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries prepared in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were subjected to long-cycle charge and discharge after constant capacity at 25°C, and the number of normal temperature cycle laps was measured. The test conditions are as follows: a long-cycle charge and discharge test is performed after the battery is constant capacity is set, and the first cycle constant capacity discharge specific capacity is recorded during the process. The test is terminated when the battery capacity reaches 80% (80% State of Health, 80% SOH) of the first cycle capacity, and the normal temperature cycle laps are obtained. The test voltage range is -0.615V-1.4V, the constant capacity current is 0.6mA, and the normal temperature cycle test rate is 0.3C.

[0079] Table 1. Parameters of dry-process negative electrode sheets and battery performance in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-6

[0080] As shown in Table 1, it can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1-5 that when the silicon content of the negative electrode active material is different, under the same preparation conditions, the binder particles of different particle sizes are matched, and as the particle size of the binder particles increases, the d 50 As the diameter of the nanofiber increases, the uniformity decreases, and the area coverage of the negative electrode active material by the nanofiber decreases as the nanofiber diameter increases. Specifically, the smaller the nanofiber diameter, the lower the nanofiber strength and the higher the coverage. The coverage is positively correlated with the ability to inhibit silicon expansion. Therefore, when the silicon content changes, by controlling the D50 of the binder particles, the cohesion and coverage of the nanofiber diameter are balanced, thus suppressing the expansion of the negative electrode active material and ensuring the battery's cycling performance while improving the first-cycle charge capacity.

[0081] Please refer to Table 1. By comparing Examples 2 and 6, it can be seen that when the silicon content is 50%, under the same preparation conditions, when the median particle size D50 of the binder particles is reduced to 50 μm, the diameter of the nanofibers can be reduced, the uniformity and the area coverage of the nanofibers on the negative electrode active material can be increased, and the cohesive force of the nanofibers obtained at this time is sufficient, thereby improving the cycle stability, achieving high uniformity, and improving the capacity to a certain extent.

[0082] As shown in Table 1, by comparing Examples 4, 7-8, it can be seen that when the silicon content in the negative electrode active material is the same, under the same preparation conditions, only the binder content is changed. As the binder content increases, the d 50 Increase, thereby the uniformity of binder fiber dispersion decreases, and the uniformity of the binder in the negative electrode sheet is reduced, but the area coverage of the nanofibers on the negative electrode active material increases, resulting in a decrease in the first-cycle charge capacity, but an increase in the cycle performance. Therefore, under the premise of the same silicon content, the binder content is controlled to achieve a balance between the first-cycle charge capacity and the cycle performance.

[0083] As shown in Table 1, a comparison of Examples 1, 9, and 10 shows that, under identical preparation conditions, while maintaining consistent silicon content in the negative electrode active material, varying both the median particle size (D50) and content of the binder particles simultaneously yielded similar binder uniformity. However, this resulted in an increase in the diameter of the binder nanofibers, a decrease in the nanofiber area coverage of the negative electrode active material, and failure to meet the requirement of -55 ≤ 0.45 AB ≤ -45. This weakened expansion suppression capability and, consequently, a rapid decline in cycling performance. Therefore, a balance of nanofiber diameter, uniformity, and coverage was crucial to improving battery cycling performance.

[0084] As shown in Table 1, by comparing Example 4 with Comparative Examples 1-4, it can be seen that when the silicon content and the binder content in the negative electrode active material are the same, and the preparation method does not adopt the preparation method provided by the present application, even if the median particle size D50 of the binder particles is reduced, the d 50 d 90 / d 10 The larger the value, the lower the uniformity of the binder is, and the smaller the value, the lower the area coverage of the negative electrode active material by the nanofibers is, and the smaller the value, the lower the area coverage of the negative electrode active material is, and the smaller the value, the lower the area coverage of the negative electrode active material is, and the smaller the value, the lower the area coverage of the negative electrode active material is, which deteriorates the performance of the battery. As the median particle size of the binder particles increases, the battery performance will further deteriorate.

[0085] As shown in Table 1, by comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 5-6, it can be seen that when the silicon content in the negative electrode active material is the same, the median particle size of the binder particles is a conventional particle size and the preparation method does not adopt the preparation method provided by this application, when the binder content is low, the area coverage of the nanofibers on the negative electrode active material is low and does not meet the requirement of -55≤0.45AB≤-45, and the battery cycle performance plummets. Increasing the binder content increases the d 50 The increase in the uniformity of the nanofibers resulted in a decrease in the first-cycle charge capacity. The area coverage of the nanofibers on the negative electrode active material increased compared to Comparative Example 5, resulting in a slight improvement in the cycling performance, but overall it was poor. Therefore, by controlling the median particle size of the binder particles and the preparation process, while ensuring the mechanical stability of the negative electrode sheet, the efficient transport of lithium ions and electrons was promoted, thereby improving the performance of the negative electrode sheet.

[0086] Table 2. Dry-process negative electrode plate parameters and battery performance in Examples 4, 11 and Comparative Example 7

[0087] As shown in Table 2, by comparing Examples 4, 11 and Comparative Example 7, it can be seen that under the same preparation process, when the D50 and content of the binder particles are the same, only the molecular weight of the binder is changed, the binder nanofiber d50 d 90 / d 10 As the molecular weight of the binder increases, the strength of the obtained nanofibers increases, thereby improving the performance of the negative electrode sheet and, therefore, the performance of the battery.

[0088] Table 3. Some parameters of dry-process negative electrode sheets and battery performance in Examples 4 and 12

[0089] Please refer to Table 3. By comparing Example 4 and Example 12, it can be seen that when different binders are selected, the particle size, content and preparation method of the binders are the same, the nanofiber d 50 d 90 / d 10 The first-cycle discharge specific capacity and cycle performance of batteries with similar uniformity are not much different, indicating that when selecting different binders, by controlling the particle size and content of the binder, a negative electrode sheet with higher uniformity can be obtained, thereby improving the performance of the battery.

[0090] The present invention also provides an electronic device, which includes at least one of the above-mentioned all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, and the all-solid-state lithium-ion battery is used to provide electrical energy. The electronic device may be a vehicle, a mobile phone, a portable device, a laptop computer, a ship, a spacecraft, an electric toy, and an electric tool. In one embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle is, for example, a new energy vehicle, which may be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or an extended-range vehicle. The spacecraft includes airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecrafts, and the electric toys include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys, and electric airplane toys. The electric tools include metal cutting electric tools, grinding electric tools, assembly electric tools, and railway electric tools, such as electric drills, electric grinders, electric wrenches, electric screwdrivers, electric hammers, impact drills, concrete vibrators, and electric planers. The electronic device includes the above-mentioned all-solid-state lithium-ion battery, and therefore includes the advantages of the above-mentioned all-solid-state lithium-ion battery, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0091] In summary, the present invention proposes a dry-process negative electrode sheet and its preparation method and application. By improving the uniformity of the binder in the dry-process negative electrode active layer, the expansion of the negative electrode active material can be suppressed. Under the premise of ensuring the mechanical stability of the negative electrode sheet, the effective transmission of lithium ions and electrons can be promoted, the performance of the negative electrode sheet can be improved, the risk of shedding and short circuit of the dry-process negative electrode active layer can be reduced, and the safety performance can be improved. The diameter of the binder nanofibers can be controlled, and the thickness distribution of the nanofiber diameter can be controlled to ensure the strength and sufficient cohesion of the three-dimensional nano-network structure, which can suppress the expansion problem of the negative electrode active material and improve the ion transmission capacity. By controlling the particle size and content of the binder to meet a certain range, the expansion problem of the negative electrode active material can be suppressed, and the problems of sheet de-powdering, cracking, and electrode shedding can be reduced, thereby improving the capacity and cycle performance of the all-solid-state battery. It can comprehensively consider the requirements of negative electrode silicon content, binder particle size, nanofiber diameter and uniformity, and accurately regulate the diameter and distribution uniformity of the binder nanofiber according to the negative electrode active materials with different silicon contents, thereby inhibiting the expansion of the negative electrode active materials and achieving a balance between the strength and performance of the negative electrode sheet.
