Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a bonding composition, a negative electrode sheet and a preparation method thereof, a battery and an electrical device. Background Art
[0002] Secondary batteries are becoming increasingly popular due to their clean and renewable characteristics, and have been widely used in many fields such as consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage.
[0003] As the application of secondary batteries expands, people are demanding higher performance from them, such as high energy density and long cycle life. However, during the cycling of a battery cell, as active ions such as lithium ions are continuously embedded in the negative electrode material, the volume of the negative electrode sheet gradually expands. This is especially true when using high-capacity silicon-based materials (theoretical capacity can reach 4200mAh / g) as the negative electrode material. The silicon volume expansion is even greater, making it more likely that silicon particles will shatter and fall off the current collector during charge and discharge, leading to a loss of electrical connection. This results in a decrease in the cycling stability of the secondary battery, making it difficult to meet the increasingly stringent performance requirements for secondary batteries.
[0004] Therefore, traditional technologies still need to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0070] In the present application, “small molecule” refers to a compound with a relative molecular weight less than or equal to 1000, and further refers to a compound with a relative molecular weight less than or equal to 500.
[0071] In conventional technology, in order to suppress the expansion of negative electrode materials, a negative electrode sheet is often prepared by using a binder that can form a three-dimensional network structure with strong binding force.
[0072] However, relying solely on a binder to form a three-dimensional network structure to bind the negative electrode active material has limited effect on improving battery cycling stability, especially in silicon-based negative electrode systems with large expansion, making it difficult to meet the increasingly stringent requirements for secondary battery performance. Further research has found that tertiary amine structures containing nitrogen atoms can induce and participate in the formation of the SEI film, affecting the battery's cycling stability.
[0073] Based on this, after a lot of experimental research, the technical solution of this application was obtained.
[0074] In one embodiment of the present application, a bonding composition is provided, comprising: a functional polymer containing a functional group and a small molecule tertiary amine compound containing a functional group, wherein the functionality of the functional group in the small molecule tertiary amine compound is ≥2.
[0075] The functional group in the functional polymer and the functional group in the small molecule tertiary amine compound meet at least one of the following conditions:
[0076] (1) Functional groups can form hydrogen bonds;
[0077] (2) Functional groups can undergo chemical reactions.
[0078] The above-mentioned bonding composition includes a functional polymer containing a functional group and a small molecule tertiary amine compound containing a functional group, wherein the functional group and the functional group can form a hydrogen bond or can directly undergo a chemical reaction. On the one hand, the functionality of the functional group in the small molecule tertiary amine compound is ≥2, so that the functional group in one molecule of the small molecule tertiary amine compound can be connected with at least two functional groups on two molecular chains of the functional polymer by forming a hydrogen bond or directly undergoing a chemical reaction, thereby forming a cross-linked network bonding material. When used to prepare a negative electrode sheet of a battery, it can improve the bonding with the negative electrode active material and has good mechanical properties, thereby inhibiting the expansion of the negative electrode active material and causing sliding between the negative electrode active material particles during the cycle, thereby reducing the probability of electrical contact loss during battery recycling. On the other hand, the small molecule tertiary amine compound contains a tertiary amine structure. When used to prepare a negative electrode sheet, it can induce and participate in the formation of a functional film layer (SEI film) during the cyclic charge and discharge process, generating a special nitrogen-containing component to optimize the composition of the functional film layer, and the nitrogen atom has a lone pair of electrons, which can accelerate Li + The diffusion and transport of active ions further improve the cycle stability of the battery.
[0079] Furthermore, the types of multiple functional groups in the same small molecule tertiary amine compound may be the same or different.
[0080] It should be noted that the functionality of the functional groups in the small molecule tertiary amine compound refers to the number of functional groups contained in one molecule of the small molecule tertiary amine compound.
[0081] In some embodiments, the functional group and the functional group are independently selected from at least one of hydroxyl, carboxyl, amide and primary amine groups.
[0082] It can be understood that the functional groups and functional groups can be the same groups that can form hydrogen bonds with each other, such as carboxyl groups and carboxyl groups, primary amine groups and primary amine groups, etc., or they can be the same groups that can undergo chemical reactions with each other, such as hydroxyl groups and hydroxyl groups, or they can be different groups that can form hydrogen bonds or undergo chemical reactions, such as hydroxyl groups and amine groups that can form hydrogen bonds, and carboxyl groups and hydroxyl groups that can undergo condensation chemical reactions. The specific type of chemical reaction may depend on the type of functional groups and functional groups, including but not limited to: at least one of: esterification reaction, dehydration condensation reaction between hydroxyl groups and hydroxyl groups, and acylation reaction between carboxyl groups and primary amine groups.
[0083] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional network structure formation using a small molecule tertiary amine compound as nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and a functional polymer as polyacrylic acid (PAA) as an example. The two carboxyl groups in the nitrilotriacetic acid form hydrogen bonds with the carboxyl groups on the two polyacrylic acid (PAA) chains ( Figure 1 The “…” indicates hydrogen bonding) to form a cross-linked structure.
[0084] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 If the functional polymer contains a functional group that can react chemically with the functional group in the small molecule tertiary amine compound, the functional group and the functional group can further react to form a chemical crosslink. For example, when the small molecule tertiary amine compound is nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and the functional polymer is polyethylene glycol, the carboxyl group on the nitrilotriacetic acid and the hydroxyl group in the polyethylene glycol can further undergo condensation esterification to form a chemical crosslink, and still obtain Figure 1 The cross-linked structure is shown.
[0085] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the functional polymer to the small molecule tertiary amine compound is (1-19):1.
[0086] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the functional polymer to the small molecule tertiary amine compound is (7-10):1.
[0087] By regulating the mass ratio of the functional polymer and the small molecule tertiary amine compound, more tertiary amine nitrogen atoms are introduced while maintaining good adhesion to the negative electrode material.

[0107] In some embodiments, the functional polymer includes at least one of acrylic polymer, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and polyacrylamide.
[0108] In one embodiment of the present application, a negative electrode sheet is provided. The negative electrode sheet includes a current collector and a negative electrode active layer provided on at least one surface of the current collector. The negative electrode active layer includes a negative electrode active material and a binding material. The binding material satisfies at least one of the following conditions:
[0109] (1) The bonding material includes the bonding composition of the first aspect.
[0110] (2) The bonding material includes a cross-linked polymer formed by a chemical reaction between the functional polymer in the bonding composition of the first aspect and the small molecule tertiary amine compound, and the reaction sites of the chemical reaction include the functional groups in the functional polymer and the functional groups in the small molecule tertiary amine compound.
[0111] In the above-mentioned negative electrode, the binding material in the negative electrode active layer includes at least one of the above-mentioned binding composition or the cross-linked polymer formed by the above-mentioned binding composition.

[0112] It can be understood that: when the functional groups in the functional polymer and the functional groups in the small molecule tertiary amine compound can only form hydrogen bonds, no chemical reaction occurs between the components of the bonding composition, and the original chemical structure remains. Only hydrogen bonds will be formed between the functional groups to form a network structure. If the functional groups in the functional polymer and the functional groups in the small molecule tertiary amine compound can undergo chemical reactions, a chemically cross-linked cross-linked polymer will be formed. Furthermore, the functional groups in a molecule of small molecule tertiary amine compound can be the same or different, and the types of multiple functional groups in the functional polymer can also be the same or different. Then, the bonding material can meet the above two conditions at the same time, and when the functional groups in a molecule of small molecule tertiary amine compound are different, they can form hydrogen bonds and chemical cross-links with multiple functional groups respectively, that is, hydrogen bonds can be formed simultaneously in the cross-linked polymer.

Specifically: TOF-SIMS excites the sample surface with primary ions to excite a trace amount of secondary ions, and measures the ion mass based on the different flight times of the secondary ions to the detector due to different masses, and analyzes the characteristic peaks corresponding to different substances. After normalization, the relative intensity ratio of each characteristic peak refers to the normalized statistics based on the total intensity of all detected characteristic peak ions as 100%, and calculates the relative intensity ratio percentage of the intensity corresponding to each characteristic peak.
