Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a binder for lithium ion battery insulating coating and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of secondary battery binders. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in communications, new energy vehicles and other fields due to their high energy density, high average output voltage, wide operating temperature range (-20℃~60℃), excellent cycle performance, fast charging and discharging, long service life, and absence of toxic and harmful substances.

[0003] To meet the demands of future electrification, lithium-ion batteries face significant challenges in improving their performance. Common lithium-ion batteries are assembled from a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte. The quality of the electrode directly impacts the performance of the battery. To achieve higher-performing lithium-ion batteries, using thicker electrode sheets is an effective approach. Other approaches include increasing the proportion of active material in the slurry and improving the compaction density of the electrode sheets to improve the capacity and energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Currently, safety risks and issues associated with the use of lithium batteries are becoming increasingly prominent, with the risk of smoke, fire, and even explosion. Therefore, their safety indicators are receiving significant international attention. Applying an insulating coating to the edges of the electrode sheets can improve battery safety.

[0004] Patent CN200910134934.3 discloses a lithium-ion battery and its preparation method, which applies an insulating coating to the edge of the electrode to improve the battery's high-temperature safety performance. However, the adhesive used has a melting point above 100°C, resulting in weak adhesion to metal foil and no thermal bonding effect on PE separators, which may affect the safety of the lithium battery.

[0005] Patent CN114573812B discloses a lithium ion binder and its preparation method, which includes a polyamide imide compound and discusses the peel strength to aluminum foil; however, a large amount of organic solvent is used in the synthesis, and the synthesis steps are relatively tedious and complicated, resulting in weak adhesion to the diaphragm.

[0006] Currently, the most commonly used edge-coating adhesive is an EAA emulsion adhesive, which has a high thermal adhesion to the separator but insufficient wet bonding strength to the copper foil, making it prone to detachment from the foil. The emulsion is unstable, exhibiting poor shear and freeze-thaw resistance, and is prone to demulsification during stirring to prepare the ceramic slurry. This requires the addition of thickeners such as CMC, which complicates the process and reduces thermal adhesion. Furthermore, the addition of large amounts of emulsifiers, which remain in the adhesive system, can significantly negatively impact the electrochemical performance of the electrode. Therefore, a better-performing edge-coating adhesive is needed. Summary of the Invention

The middle of the two long sides were placed horizontally on a 12 cm long, 1.5 cm diameter steel mandrel fixed with a base, with the film layer of the test electrode facing upward. The electrode was then pressed firmly against the mandrel with the thumb and index finger for 3 seconds. After bending, the thumb and index finger were symmetrically aligned with the centerline of the mandrel. The surface condition of the electrode after bending was observed, and intact electrodes were marked as ○, those with slight cracks as □, those with severe cracks as ×, and those that could not be tested as / .

[0261] 3) Surface tension test

[0262] Take the slurries prepared in the above examples and comparative examples and dilute them to 1%. Add an appropriate amount of distilled water to the sample stage of a BZY-2 fully automatic tensiometer / interfacial tension meter. Add 0.2 mL of the diluted slurry to a sample dish. Place the dish on the stage, ensuring it fits snugly with the distilled water and no bubbles remain. Clean the temperature probe and place it in the sample, ensuring it does not come into contact with the sides of the dish. Gently shake and rotate the dish horizontally to even out the sample temperature. Take a reading when the temperature reaches 25°C.

[0263] 4) Freeze-thaw resistance test

[0264] The freeze-thaw resistance test was carried out in accordance with GB / T9268-2008: 100 g of adhesive sample (adhesives of Examples 1-9, Comparative Example 1, and adhesives of Comparative Examples 3-6) was placed in a test bottle and placed in a refrigerator at -5±2°C; the sample was taken out after being placed in the refrigerator for 24 hours, placed at 23±2°C for 6 hours, and naturally filtered through a 200-mesh filter. If the filter residue was ≤0.5wt%, it was determined that the emulsion was not broken; otherwise, it was broken and failed the test.

[0265] 5) Shear resistance test

[0266] Shear resistance test: Take 200g of adhesive sample (adhesives of Examples 1-9, Comparative Example 1, and adhesives of Comparative Examples 3-6), put it into a test bottle, apply a shear force at a linear speed of 15m / s for 30min, and then filter naturally through a 200-mesh filter. If the filter residue is ≤0.5wt%, it is judged that the emulsion is not broken, otherwise it is broken and fails this test.

[0267] The relevant test results are shown in Table 1.

[0268] Table 1

[0269]

[0270] Note: “ / ” indicates that the relevant test cannot be performed due to process problems.

[0271] As can be seen from Table 1, the peeling strength between the insulating coating and the copper foil, and the peeling strength between the diaphragm and the insulating coating prepared in Examples 1 to 13 of the present invention are relatively high.

[0272] From the comparison of Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the binder of the present invention, the main functions of cyclodextrin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, and hydroxymethyl cellulose are to stabilize the emulsion state, increase the surface tension of the binder, and thereby improve the anti-permeability with the negative electrode slurry (without adding protective colloid, the surface tension of the binder is low, and the negative electrode slurry is easy to penetrate each other, forming quality defects such as shadows or powder leakage).

[0273] By comparison of Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that in the preparation process of the binder of the present invention, preferably, the ratio of the first monomer: the second monomer: the third monomer is 10 to 30:70 to 90:0 to 5; further preferably, the ratio of the first monomer: the second monomer: the third monomer is 15 to 25:70 to 80:1 to 5; in Comparative Example 2, the ratio of the first monomer is further increased to 35%, and the prepared binder is unstable and easily stratified and demulsified.

[0274] From the comparison of Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that when an emulsifier is added to emulsify and stabilize the binder prepared by monomer I at a ratio of 35%, demulsification problem will occur when boehmite is dispersed in a one-step high-stirring method to prepare an insulating coating slurry.

[0275] From the comparison of Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that EAA emulsion is not resistant to shear (demulsification due to high-speed stirring) when used for lithium-ion battery insulating coating. For example, demulsification problems are prone to occur when using a one-step high-stirring dispersion method for boehmite to prepare insulating coating slurry.

[0276] From the comparison between Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Example 5, it can be seen that the method of first dispersing boehmite with CMC solution and then adding EAA emulsion with low-speed stirring has the problems of being more complicated, taking a long time, and having low production efficiency.

[0277] From the comparison of Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that the surface tension of the SBR emulsion is relatively high, but the thermal bonding effect on the diaphragm is relatively poor, which cannot meet market demand.

[0278] In summary, the water-based electrode ear edge coating prepared in this application has good resistance to high-speed shear and freeze-thaw, no demulsification phenomenon, good dispersion / storage stability, and the prepared negative electrode plate has good flexibility and is not hard and brittle.
