Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of new energy technology, and more specifically, to a negative electrode plate, a battery, and an electrical device. Background Art
[0002] Lithium battery is a rechargeable battery that mainly relies on the migration of lithium ions between positive and negative electrodes to achieve charging and discharging. It has the advantages of high energy density, small size and long cycle life. It is widely used in consumer electronics, new energy vehicles and energy storage.
[0003] A pole piece consists of a current collector and an active layer disposed on its surface. A pole piece with an active layer on one side of the current collector is called a single-sided pole piece, while a pole piece with active layers on both sides of the current collector is called a double-sided pole piece. Single-sided pole pieces use less material, have lower costs, and lower energy density, making them more suitable for batteries used in low-power products such as handheld appliances, wearable electronics, and smart homes. Bifacial pole pieces, with active material on both sides, can increase capacity and energy density, making them suitable for batteries used in high-energy-density, high-power products such as electric vehicles, power tools, and drones.
[0004] During rolling, single-sided pole pieces can exhibit significant curvature or distortion due to the significant difference in ductility between the current collector and the active layer, severely impacting the subsequent winding process. Traditional single-sided pole pieces typically utilize thicker current collectors than double-sided pole pieces, while also reducing the compaction density of the single-sided pole piece to avoid distortion. This approach not only increases material costs and the difficulty of the production process, but also increases the thickness of the battery, sacrificing its energy density.
[0005] Furthermore, for the negative electrode sheet, copper foil is usually used to prepare the negative electrode current collector. In order to maintain the mechanical strength of the negative electrode current collector, the copper foil used is relatively thick, usually 6μm to 15μm. Since the density of copper is very high (about 8.96g / cm 3 ), such a design results in the current collector accounting for too high a proportion of weight in the battery, compressing the proportion of active materials, further limiting the improvement of battery energy density, and urgently needs to be improved.

[0062] In this application, the test method for the elongation at break of a material is well known to those skilled in the art and is not limited thereto. For example, the test method may refer to GB / T29847-2013, SJ / T 11483-2014, or GB / T1040.3-2006. The test instrument may use a universal tensile testing machine (also known as a universal material testing machine or a tensile testing machine) to test the tensile strength and elongation at break of the sample.
[0063] In the present application, the viscosity of hydroxyethyl cellulose is a 2 w % aqueous solution of the corresponding hydroxyethyl cellulose, measured by a Brook viscometer at 25° C., and the unit is mPa·s.
[0064] During actual rolling, single-sided pole pieces experience significant curvature or distortion due to uneven force on both sides, seriously impacting the winding process. Traditional single-sided pole pieces typically use thicker current collectors than double-sided pole pieces, while also reducing the compaction density of the single-sided pole piece to avoid distortion. This approach not only increases material costs and the difficulty of the production process, but also increases the thickness of the battery, sacrificing its energy density.
[0065] The metal foil used for battery negative electrode current collectors is typically copper foil. Currently, the mainstream electrolytic copper foil on the market has a thickness of 6 μm or greater, a tensile strength of 330 MPa or greater, and an elongation at break of 3.0% to 4.0%. As the thickness of the copper foil decreases, its mechanical properties and processability decline significantly. During transportation, storage, handling, placement, and lamination, the foil is prone to wrinkling, scratches, dents, or pits on the copper surface. During the coating and roller-pressing process of the battery active material, it is prone to bulges, holes, and even fractures (tape breakage). This not only affects battery safety but also increases manufacturing costs. For electrolytic ultra-thin or ultra-thin copper foils with a thickness of less than 4.5 μm, especially those with a thickness of less than or equal to 3.5 μm, the application range is very narrow and difficult to use in the battery field, especially for single-sided pole pieces. Improvements are urgently needed.
[0066] Based on this, the present application provides a thin and light negative electrode sheet with good mechanical properties. The technical solution is as follows: a negative electrode sheet, comprising a negative electrode collector and a negative electrode active layer arranged on a single side surface of the negative electrode collector, the negative electrode collector comprising a polymer substrate layer, an adhesive layer and an ultra-thin copper foil stacked in sequence, wherein the thickness of the ultra-thin copper foil is 0.8μm to 4.5μm; the tensile strength of the negative electrode collector is ≥180Mpa, and the elongation at break is ≥5%.
[0067] The polymer substrate and the ultra-thin copper foil are stably bonded to a stacked composite copper foil structure through a sticky layer, so that the negative electrode current collector has the advantages of both ultra-thin copper foil and substrate. Compared with pure copper foil negative electrode current collector, the composite copper foil negative electrode current collector of the present application not only reduces weight and thinness and greatly reduces production costs, but also gives the negative electrode current collector excellent mechanical properties and processability, which can avoid the subsequent battery active material coating and reduce the subsequent undesirable phenomena such as warping or twisting deformation. In addition, by combining the lightweight negative electrode current collector with the negative electrode active layer arranged on its single-side surface, the weight and thickness of the negative electrode sheet can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the weight and thickness of the battery and improving the energy density of the battery. It is suitable for low-power scenarios such as handheld appliances, wearable electronics and smart homes.
[0068] For example, the schematic diagram of the composite copper foil negative electrode current collector can be found in Figure 1 , Figure 1 The composite current collector 100 includes a polymer substrate layer 110 , an adhesive layer 120 , and an ultra-thin copper foil 130 , which are stacked in sequence.
[0069] For example, the schematic diagram of the negative electrode plate can be found in Figure 2 , Figure 2 The middle negative electrode sheet 10 includes a negative electrode current collector 100 and a negative electrode active layer 200 provided on a single side surface of the negative electrode current collector.
[0070] In one embodiment, the tensile strength of the ultra-thin copper foil is ≥300 MPa, and the elongation at break is ≥3%.
[0071] In one embodiment, the ultra-thin copper foil has a thickness of 3 μm to 4.5 μm, a tensile strength of ≥300 MPa, and an elongation at break of ≥3.0%.
[0072] In one embodiment, the ultra-thin copper foil has a thickness of 3 μm to 4.5 μm, a tensile strength of 300 MPa or greater, and an elongation at break of 3.5% or greater. Furthermore, the ultra-thin copper foil has a thickness of 3 μm to 4.5 μm, a tensile strength of 320 MPa to 500 MPa, and an elongation at break of 3.5% or greater.
[0073] In one embodiment, the ultra-thin copper foil has a thickness of 3 μm to 4 μm, a tensile strength of 300 MPa or greater, and an elongation at break of 3.0% or greater. Furthermore, the ultra-thin copper foil has a thickness of 3 μm to 4 μm, a tensile strength of 320 MPa to 370 MPa, and an elongation at break of 3.5% or greater.
[0074] In one embodiment, the ultra-thin copper foil has a thickness of 3 μm to 3.5 μm, a tensile strength of ≥300 MPa, and an elongation at break of ≥3%.
[0075] In one embodiment, the ultra-thin copper foil has a thickness of 2 μm to 3 μm, a tensile strength of ≥250 MPa, and an elongation at break of ≥3%. Furthermore, the ultra-thin copper foil has a thickness of 2 μm to 3 μm, and a tensile strength of 250 MPa to 340 MPa.
[0076] In one embodiment, the ultra-thin copper foil has a thickness of 1 μm to 3 μm, a tensile strength of ≥200 MPa, and an elongation at break of ≥2.5%.
[0077] In one embodiment, the ultra-thin copper foil is produced by electrolysis, and the electroplating solution used in the electrolysis includes a mother liquor and an additive, wherein the additive includes a combination of one or more of protein and hydroxyethyl cellulose. The protein additive hinders the discharge of copper ions, thereby refining the copper grains, making the surface of the copper foil smoother, reducing the surface roughness, and promoting the formation of a specific crystal plane preferred orientation of the copper foil, or improving the density of the electrolytic ultra-thin copper foil through the complex network structure of hydroxyethyl cellulose and copper ions, thereby significantly improving the mechanical properties of the electrolytic ultra-thin copper foil, so that the copper foil still has good mechanical properties (such as some ultra-thin copper foils with a thickness of 3μm to 4μm, a tensile strength of ≥300Mpa, and an elongation at break of ≥3%) and processability when the thickness is less than 4.5μm.
[0078] In one embodiment, the additive comprises, based on the concentration in the plating solution, 20ppm to 60ppm of a protein component, wherein the protein component comprises proteins of different molecular weights, the molecular weights of the proteins of different molecular weights are gradually distributed within the range of [molecular weight Min, molecular weight Max], and the proportions of the proteins of different molecular weights are uniform. For example, the protein components used in one embodiment have different molecular weight proteins and their quantity distribution as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.
[0079] Furthermore, the molecular weight of proteins of different molecular weights may increase in a step-wise manner; further, the difference (error) in the percentage of proteins of different molecular weights in the protein fraction is less than or equal to 10%; the percentage refers to the percentage of the protein fraction as a whole. Furthermore, the molecular weight is the weight-average molecular weight Mw.
[0080] Since conventional proteins commonly added to electrolyte solutions are mostly derived from direct enzymatic hydrolysis of specific collagen, the protein composition is generally concentrated in a certain molecular weight range or a certain range of proteins, and is formed by other molecular weight proteins with a smaller proportion. The proportion of proteins of different molecular weights is arranged in a single peak structure. For example, in the molecular weight range of [1000, 3000], the proportion of proteins of a certain molecular weight range (such as 2500-2700) is greater than 60%, and the proportion of proteins of other molecular weights is less than 10%. However, the present application creatively proposes to use different molecular weight proteins with similar quantities in the distribution range as additives to the electrolyte solution. For example, in the range of [1000, 3000], proteins of different molecular weights of 1000, 1300, 1600, 2100, 2500, and 2900 are mixed, and the proportion of each molecular weight protein is basically similar or equal, such as (the quantity) is between 13% and 20%. (It should be understood by those skilled in the art that due to technical limitations or unstable factors, a small proportion within the error range may be allowed. This endpoint value is also for example only). After adding this type of protein component as one of the additive components, the inventors of the present application found that compared to traditional proteins with molecular weights concentrated in a certain value / a certain molecular weight distribution, the use of the protein of the present application with a uniform molecular weight distribution and a uniform proportion as an additive significantly improved the mechanical properties of the electrolytic ultra-thin copper foil, which was significantly better than the traditional protein additives. It can significantly improve the elongation at break and tensile strength of the corresponding electrolytic ultra-thin copper foil. The inventors speculate that this is because the adsorption sites of single molecular weight proteins are limited, so the improvement of mechanical properties on the formed copper layer is limited. When different molecular weight proteins are used in a uniform proportion, they can provide uniform adsorption and binding at multiple sites, thereby further improving the flatness of the ultra-thin copper foil and the corresponding elongation at break and tensile strength.
[0081] In one embodiment, the molecular weight Min is ≥ 180, and the molecular weight Max is ≤ 10000. Furthermore, the difference between the molecular weight Max and the molecular weight Min is ≥ 1800. Furthermore, protein components within different molecular weight distribution widths can be used as additives, and this application does not impose any special restrictions on this. For example, [molecular weight Min, molecular weight Max] can be [1000, 3000], [3000, 5000] or [5000, 10000]. In one embodiment, this application uses proteins of different molecular weights to be evenly and equally distributed in the interval [1000, 3000], and the ultra-thin copper foil obtained by electrolysis has excellent mechanical properties.
[0082] In one embodiment, the protein component includes one or more combinations of collagen, gelatin, peptone and protein peptide.
[0083] In one embodiment, the additive comprises, based on the concentration in the electroplating solution, 20 ppm to 60 ppm of a hydroxyethyl cellulose mixture, wherein the hydroxyethyl cellulose mixture comprises hydroxyethyl cellulose of different viscosities.
[0084] When the hydroxyethyl cellulose mixture containing different viscosity hydroxyethyl cellulose is added in the electroplating solution containing copper ion, the compactness, tensile strength of the ultra-thin copper foil produced by electrolysis are further enhanced. It is speculated that it may be due to containing different viscosities (understandably, viscosity is relevant to molecular weight, and different viscosities in this application can be regarded as different molecular weights) hydroxyethyl cellulose in the hydroxyethyl cellulose mixture, along with the combination of hydroxyethyl cellulose and copper ion, different molecular weight hydroxyethyl celluloses i.e. realize the combination between copper ions in different directions and different distances, the hydroxyethyl cellulose of different molecular weights can be connected to form a complex copper ion distribution network, form a complex structure that is widely distributed and copper ion is dense, and then significantly improve compactness, stability of the ultra-thin copper foil obtained by electrolysis, collaborate to enhance the tensile strength and the elongation at break of the ultra-thin copper foil of electrolysis. On the other hand, after connecting, improving the compactness of the ultra-thin copper foil of electrolysis in conjunction with copper ion by hydroxyethyl cellulose, pinhole quantity can be significantly reduced and ultra-thin copper foil transmittance can be reduced.
[0085] It is understood that the viscosity of the hydroxyethyl cellulose mixture can be adjusted by changing the proportion of hydroxyethyl cellulose with different viscosities.
[0086] In one embodiment, the viscosity of each hydroxyethyl cellulose is independently 15000 mPa·s to 100000 mPa·s, including but not limited to 15000 mPa·s, 20000 mPa·s, 24000 mPa·s, 25000 mPa·s, 30000 mPa·s, 35000 mPa·s, 40000 mPa·s, 45000 mPa·s, 50000 mPa·s, 55000 mPa·s, 60000 mPa·s, 65000 mPa·s, 70000 mPa·s, 75000 mPa·s, 80000 mPa·s, 85000 mPa·s, 90000 mPa·s, 95000 mPa·s or 100000 mPa·s.

[0229]
[0230] As can be seen from Table 5, compared with pure copper foil, the composite copper foil negative electrode current collector of the present application has the advantages of both ultra-thin copper foil and polymer substrate, and is lighter and thinner. By combining the lightweight negative electrode current collector with the negative electrode active layer arranged on its single-side surface, the weight and thickness of the negative electrode sheet can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the weight and thickness of the battery, improving the energy density of the battery, and the capacity retention rate is comparable, and some embodiments are even higher than pure copper foil.

Figures 6 to 8 It can be seen that the resistance of the composite copper foil is higher than that of the pure copper foil. The lithium battery made with the composite copper foil as the negative electrode current collector has a larger internal resistance, a slightly lower discharge voltage than the battery made with pure copper foil as the negative electrode current collector, and a higher specific capacity.
