Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a multifunctional binder. Background Art

[0002] Ternary cathode material LiCo x Mn y Ni 1-x-y O2 (NCM) has become a mainstream cathode material in lithium-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity of 280 mAh / g and wide operating voltage range of 2.5-4.2 V. However, its crystal structure undergoes irreversible phase transitions during charge and discharge, accompanied by metal ion mixing and dislocation effects, resulting in a significant decrease in its cycling stability.

[0003] Current research on optimizing ternary cathode systems focuses primarily on active material modification, separator performance enhancement, and electrolyte formulation optimization, with relatively little research on binders. Although binders represent a relatively small proportion of the total, they fulfill the crucial functions of adhering active material particles, dispersing conductive agents, and maintaining the integrity of the electrode structure, making them a key component of electrode materials.

[0004] Traditional polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binders only achieve physical bonding through van der Waals forces. Their bonding strength is limited and they lack the ability to inhibit the dissolution of transition metals, making it difficult to meet the structural stability requirements of the ternary system.

[0028] Comparative Example 1: Traditional PVDF binder.

[0029] Testing experiment: The slurries obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were prepared into electrode sheets and button batteries, respectively, and their performance was tested: The electrode sheet preparation process is as follows: the slurries of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 are uniformly coated on aluminum foil using a film applicator to a coating thickness of 200 μm, vacuum dried at 80°C for 12 hours, and finally cut and pressed using a manual slicer to obtain circular electrode sheets with a diameter of 11 mm, namely the electrode sheets of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1.

[0030] The preparation process of button batteries is as follows: Step 1: Assemble a CR2025 button cell: Use the electrode sheets obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 as the positive electrode; a lithium metal sheet (15.6 mm in diameter and 0.45 mm in thickness) as the negative electrode; a Celgard 2400 polypropylene film (16 mm in diameter) as the separator; and use 5V high-voltage electrolyte LB111 as the electrolyte. Step 2: Under an argon atmosphere, the negative electrode shell, the metal lithium sheet, a small amount of electrolyte, the diaphragm, the electrolyte, the positive electrode sheet, the gasket, the spring, and the positive electrode shell were assembled in order and sealed using a hydraulic press. The batteries were then allowed to stand for 12 hours to obtain the button batteries of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1.

[0031] (1) Peel test: The electrode sheets of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were cut into 40×25 mm strips, and then 3M double-sided tape (9×1 mm) was affixed to the back of each sheet to bond the surface of the electrode sheet to the glass slide. The specific bonding process is as follows: first, double-sided tape was affixed to the back of the electrode sheet and fixed to the glass slide, and then double-sided tape of another specification was affixed to the active material surface of the electrode sheet. During the test, one end of the sample was fixed to the upper fixture of the electronic universal testing machine (holding the area not covered by the double-sided tape), and the other end of the glass slide was fixed to the lower fixture. The test mode was set to 180° peel test, the mode was selected as tension-displacement mode, and the tensile rate was 5 mm / min. The test results are shown in Table 1. (2) Charge and discharge performance test: The button batteries prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were tested for cycle performance and rate performance using a CT2001A blue battery test system and a CT-4008 Xinwei battery test system in a constant current charge and discharge mode. The voltage range was set to 5mV~2V. First, the battery was discharged to 5mV at a constant current of 0.05C, and then allowed to stand for 5 minutes to allow the electrode to reach a stable state. Then, the battery was discharged to 5mV at a constant current of 200μA, and allowed to stand for another 5 minutes. Finally, the battery was completely discharged to 5mV at a constant current of 50μA. The charging process was tested by charging to 2V at a constant current of 0.1C. The test results are shown in Table 1. Table 1

[0032] Result analysis: According to the data analysis in Table 1, it can be seen that PVDF binder achieves bonding through intermolecular van der Waals forces, and its bonding force is weak. By introducing this polar ionic ion polymer side chain and utilizing the charge-charge interaction force between the side chain and the active material and the current collector, the adhesion force of the PVDF binder can be significantly improved.

[0033] (1) In this study, a multifunctional binder with anionic polymer side chains was synthesized using PVDF as the main chain by means of UV grafting. This anionic polymer side chain has a relatively good interaction with lithium ions and can serve as a transmission channel in the positive electrode to help lithium ions reach the surface of the positive electrode active material faster to participate in the electrochemical reaction, which significantly improves the battery performance. After 100 cycles at a rate of 0.2C, the battery based on the multifunctional binder still maintains a specific capacity of 178.3mAh / g. At the same time, the introduction of this polar side chain enables the multifunctional binder to maintain a high capacity at a current density, and its specific capacity can reach 162.1mAh / g at a rate of 2C.

[0034] The above results show that the multifunctional binder prepared in this scheme can effectively improve the cycle stability of the ternary positive electrode system and enhance the performance of the battery.
