Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of negative electrode sheets and their preparation processes, and in particular to a multilayer structure negative electrode sheet and its process for improving the electrochemical performance of wound structure batteries. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of lithium-ion batteries in mobile phones, watches and electric vehicles, the requirements for their energy density are also increasing. Existing battery systems can no longer meet people's growing demand for high energy density lithium-ion batteries.

[0003] Silicon-doped anodes are an effective means of improving battery energy density due to their high energy density, potential low cost, and broad application prospects.

[0004] However, conventional wound silicon-doped high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries encounter the following problems in practical applications:

[0005] 1. During charging, the current density near the negative electrode tab is relatively high, which can easily lead to adverse phenomena such as lithium plating and temperature rise. The deposited lithium can form dendrites, and the lithium dendrites and heat generation can easily damage the separator, causing the battery to short circuit, resulting in smoke, fire or even explosion, which poses a serious safety hazard. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress lithium plating on the negative electrode to ensure the safety of the battery.

[0006] Second, under high areal density and high compaction density, the electrolyte inside the electrode is not sufficiently and uniformly wetted, resulting in the active material of the negative electrode not being able to fully exert its potential. This easily leads to lithium plating and cycle failure during charge and discharge. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new negative electrode technology that can simultaneously improve the energy density of conventional wound battery structures without reducing rate performance and cycle performance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art and provide a multilayer negative electrode sheet and process for improving the electrochemical performance of wound battery structures, using a lower 5T powder compaction density range (1.75-1.85). The first graphite of the first negative electrode active material and the first negative electrode layer with a high conductivity range (2.56-2.85 S / cm) can greatly improve the kinetics of the negative electrode sheet near the tab and reduce lithium plating caused by conventional winding structures. A high 5T powder compaction density range (1.98-2.05) is selected. The use of graphite as the second negative electrode active material and a second negative electrode layer with a low conductivity range (0.75-1.32 S / cm) improves energy density and cycle performance. A medium-density 5T powder with a compaction density range of 1.88-1.96... The third graphite of the third negative electrode active material and the third negative electrode layer with a medium conductivity range (1.42-2.45 S / cm) enhance the kinetics of the negative electrode sheet, while ensuring high energy density and good cycle performance.

[0066] Step S4: Coating is performed on both sides of the current collector using a three-layer extrusion coating die. Specifically, the coating areas are as follows: the first negative electrode slurry is coated on region 1 near the negative electrode tab; the second negative electrode slurry is coated on region 2 away from the negative electrode tab; and the third negative electrode slurry is coated on region 3 of the second negative electrode slurry. After drying in an oven, the other side of the current collector is coated again: the first negative electrode slurry is coated on region 4 near the negative electrode tab; the second negative electrode slurry is coated on region 5 away from the negative electrode tab; and the third negative electrode slurry is coated on region 5 of the second negative electrode slurry.

[0070] Meanwhile, the conductivity of the first negative electrode layer > the conductivity of the third negative electrode layer > the conductivity of the second negative electrode layer, which makes the first negative electrode layer the highest in conductivity ranking, the third negative electrode layer in the middle, and the second negative electrode layer the lowest.

[0071] The 5T powder compaction density value of the first graphite in the first negative electrode layer is less than the 5T powder compaction density value of the third graphite in the third negative electrode layer, which is less than the 5T powder compaction density value of the second graphite in the second negative electrode layer. This results in the ranking of 5T powder compaction density values: the first graphite has the lowest compaction density, the third graphite is in the middle, and the second graphite has the highest compaction density.

[0072] Therefore, a lower 5T powder compaction density range (1.75-1.85) is selected near the negative electrode tab. The first graphite of the first negative electrode active material and the first negative electrode layer with a high conductivity range (2.56-2.85 S / cm) can greatly improve the kinetics of the negative electrode sheet near the tab and reduce lithium plating caused by conventional winding structures. A high 5T powder compaction density range (1.98-2.05) is selected. The use of graphite as the second negative electrode active material and a second negative electrode layer with a low conductivity range (0.75-1.32 S / cm) improves energy density and cycle performance. A medium-density 5T powder with a compaction density range of 1.88-1.96... The third graphite of the third negative electrode active material and the third negative electrode layer with a medium conductivity range (1.42-2.45 S / cm) enhance the kinetics of the negative electrode sheet, while ensuring high energy density and good cycle performance.

[0073] 2. In summary, the present invention provides a multilayer structure negative electrode sheet for improving the electrochemical performance of wound structure batteries. This avoids the lithium deposition at the negative electrode tab caused by conventional wound structures, and at the same time enables the negative electrode sheet to achieve both improved rate performance and cycle capacity of lithium-ion batteries under high energy density system design.

[0119] The second and third negative electrode layers, located further away from the negative electrode tab, exhibit the following conductivity along the current collector -> second negative electrode layer -> third negative electrode layer direction: the second negative electrode layer has the lowest conductivity (0.75-1.32 S / cm), and due to the use of 5T powder compaction, it has the highest density (1.98-2.05). The second graphite layer ensures improved energy density and cycle stability of the lithium-ion battery. The third anode layer has moderate conductivity (1.42-2.45 S / cm), and due to the use of 5T compaction, its density is moderate (1.88-1.96 S / cm).

[0151] Embodiment 3 of the present invention provides experimental data for battery lithium plating test, galvanostatic intermittent titration (GITT) test and battery cycle performance test, respectively.

[0152] The experimental data in this third embodiment used 15 experimental cases and 15 comparative examples of lithium-ion batteries, among which:

[0153] (1). Regarding Experimental Example 1-15:

[0154] The negative electrode sheets in these 15 experimental examples were prepared using a multi-layer negative electrode sheet process described in Example 2 to improve the electrochemical performance of wound-structured batteries. The lithium-ion batteries were then prepared using existing techniques involving positive electrode sheet preparation -> negative electrode sheet -> separator -> positive electrode sheet winding -> liquid injection -> encapsulation -> formation -> capacity testing. All 15 experimental examples used the multi-layer negative electrode sheet structure described in Example 1 to improve the electrochemical performance of wound-structured batteries. The differences between these 15 examples are as follows: Based on Example 1, following the single-variable method, the conductivity values ​​or 5T powder compaction density values ​​of the first, second, or third negative electrode layers in Examples 2 to 15 are different from those in Example 1; or, on one side of the current collector, the specific ratio L2 / (L2+L3) of the coating length L2 of the first negative electrode layer and the coating length L3 of the second and third negative electrode layers in Examples 2 to 15 are different from those in Example 1.

[0155] (For specific differences, please see Table 1 mentioned below);

[0156] This document only discloses a more specific process for improving the electrochemical performance of a multilayer negative electrode sheet used in Experiment 1 (the preparation processes for Experiments 2-15 are the same as those for Experiment 1, except that the conductivity values ​​of the first, second, or third negative electrode layers or the 5T powder compaction density value of the active material graphite are different from those in Experiment 1, or the specific ratio value L2 / (L2+L3) of the coating length L2 of the first negative electrode layer and the coating length L3 of the second and third negative electrode layers on one side of the current collector is different from that in Experiment 1, which will not be repeated here):

[0161] The compacted density of the 5T powder of the third graphite is 1.88. ;

[0162] In steps S1, S2 and S3 above, the 5T powder compaction density value of the first graphite is less than the 5T powder compaction density value of the third graphite and the 5T powder compaction density value of the second graphite.

[0163] Step S4: Apply coating through a three-layer extrusion coating die (e.g., Figure 1 Coating is applied to both sides of the current collector, with the coating area and length as shown below. Figure 2As shown. The specific coating areas are as follows: the first negative electrode slurry is coated in region 1 near the negative electrode tab, the second negative electrode slurry is coated in region 2 away from the negative electrode tab, and the third negative electrode slurry is coated in region 3 on the second negative electrode slurry. After drying in an oven, the other side of the current collector is coated again. The first negative electrode slurry is coated in region 4 near the negative electrode tab, the second negative electrode slurry is coated in region 5 away from the negative electrode tab, and the third negative electrode slurry is coated in region 6 on the second negative electrode slurry. The specific coating lengths are as follows: on the side with the edge of the negative electrode tab along the length of the current collector, the length of the empty foil area is L1, the length of region 1 is L2, and the length of regions 2 and 3 is L3. On the other side with the edge of the negative electrode tab along the length of the current collector, the length of the empty foil area is L4, the length of region 4 is L5, and the length of regions 5 and 6 is L6. Wherein, L2 / (L2+L3)%=7%;

[0164] Step S5: After cold pressing and slitting, a multi-layer negative electrode sheet is obtained.

[0165] In the multilayer negative electrode sheet prepared in step S5 above, the conductivity of the first negative electrode layer is 2.72 S / cm, the conductivity of the second negative electrode layer is 1.25 S / cm, and the conductivity of the third negative electrode layer is 2.16 S / cm.

[0166] (2). Regarding Comparative Examples 1-15:

[0167] The negative electrode sheets of Comparative Examples 1 to 15 were prepared using a process similar to that of Example 2 for improving the electrochemical performance of a wound-structure battery with a multilayer negative electrode sheet. Lithium-ion batteries were then fabricated using existing technology. The preparation processes of the negative electrode sheets of Comparative Examples 1 to 15 were identical to those of Example 2, except that the preparation processes of Comparative Examples 1 to 15 did not follow the order of conductivity of the first negative electrode layer > conductivity of the third negative electrode layer > conductivity of the second negative electrode layer in the process of Example 2. The following conditions must be met: the conductivity of the negative electrode layer is not within the range of 2.56-2.85 S / cm; the conductivity of the second negative electrode layer is not within the range of 0.75-1.32 S / cm; the conductivity of the third negative electrode layer is not within the range of 1.42-2.45 S / cm; the 5T powder compaction density of the first graphite layer is less than that of the third graphite layer, which is less than that of the second graphite layer; or the 5T powder compaction density of the first graphite layer is not between 1.75-1.85 S / cm. The value range is specified, or the compacted density value of the third graphite 5T powder is not between 1.88 and 1.96. The value range is specified, or the compacted density value of the second graphite powder (5T) is not between 1.98 and 2.05. Within the range of values ​​or on one side of the current collector, the coating length L2 of the first negative electrode layer, and the coating length L3 of the second and third negative electrode layers do not meet the following ratio range: 5%≤L2 / (L2+L3)≤10%;

[0168] Furthermore, the 5T powder compaction density value of the third graphite in Comparative Example 1 is lower than the above-mentioned range, the 5T powder compaction density value of the third graphite in Comparative Example 2 is higher than the above-mentioned range, the 5T powder compaction density value of the second graphite in Comparative Example 3 is lower than the above-mentioned range, the 5T powder compaction density value of the second graphite in Comparative Example 4 is higher than the above-mentioned range, the 5T powder compaction density value of the first graphite in Comparative Example 5 is lower than the above-mentioned range, and the 5T powder compaction density value of the first graphite in Comparative Example 6 is higher than the above-mentioned range.

[0170] Ranking of compaction density values ​​of 5T powder of the first graphite in Comparative Example 13 = 5T powder compaction density value of the third graphite = 5T powder compaction density value of the second graphite.

[0171] Comparative Example 14: L2 / (L2+L3) = 2% ≤ 5%;

[0172] Comparative Example 15: L2 / (L2+L3) = 13% ≥ 10%.

[0173] (Please see Table 1 below for specific differences)

[0174] (3). The conductivity of the first, second, and third negative electrode layers in Experimental Examples 1-15 and Comparative Examples 1-15, the specific parameters of the first graphite of the first negative electrode active material, the second graphite of the second negative electrode active material, and the third graphite of the third negative electrode active material, and the proportion of L2 to the total length of L2 and L3 are shown in Table 1 below:

[0175] Table 1

[0176]

[0177] The specific test methods for the battery lithium plating test, the galvanostatic intermittent titration (GITT) test, and the battery cycle performance test in this embodiment are as follows:

[0178] (1) Battery lithium plating test:

[0179] At 25°C, the lithium-ion batteries prepared in Experimental Examples 1-15 and Comparative Examples 1-15 were charged at a rate of 2C and discharged at a rate of 1C 20 times. Then, the fully charged batteries were disassembled to observe the lithium deposition on the negative electrode.

[0180] (2) Intermittent titration with constant current (GITT) test:

[0181] At 0°C, the lithium-ion batteries prepared in the experimental and comparative examples were charged at a constant current rate of 2C. The charging time was set so that the battery was paused for 3 seconds after each 1% state of charge (SOC) was reached, repeating this process until the battery reached the set cutoff voltage. The impedance was calculated using the voltage and charging current after the 3-second pause at each 1% SOC, and the impedance was plotted against the state of charge to obtain the impedance-state-of-charge curve. If the battery's impedance-state-of-charge curve shows a decreasing inflection point at the end of charging, it indicates that lithium plating has begun, and the state of charge corresponding to the inflection point is the SOC value for lithium plating.

[0182] (3) Battery cycle performance test

[0183] At 25°C, the lithium-ion batteries prepared in the experimental example and the comparative example were charged at a rate of 1.5C and discharged at a rate of 1C for 500 cycles, and the capacity retention rate of the lithium-ion batteries was recorded.

[0184] The test results of battery lithium plating test, galvanostatic intermittent titration (GITT) test, and battery cycle performance test for Experimental Examples 1-15 and Comparative Examples 1-15 in this Example 3 are shown in Table 2 below:

[0185] Table 2

[0186]

[0187] The results of the battery lithium plating test, galvanostatic intermittent titration (GITT) test, and battery cycle performance test conducted on Experimental Examples 1-15 and Comparative Examples 1-15 in this third embodiment are as follows:

[0188] When the compacted density of the third graphite powder of the third negative electrode active material is less than 1.88... (As in Comparative Example 1) or the compacted density of the second graphite powder of the second negative electrode active material is less than 1.98. (As in Comparative Example 3) or the compacted density of the first graphite powder of the first negative electrode active material is less than 1.75. When the conductivity of the third negative electrode layer is greater than 2.45 S / cm (as in Comparative Example 8), or the conductivity of the second negative electrode layer is greater than 1.32 S / cm (as in Comparative Example 10), or the conductivity of the first negative electrode layer is greater than 2.85 S / cm (as in Comparative Example 12), although lithium plating will not occur on the surfaces of regions 1 / 4 and 3 / 6, and the SOC value of the battery will not decrease, the capacity retention rate after 500 cycles at room temperature will be lower (e.g., ...). Figure 3 ).

[0189] When the compacted density of the third graphite powder of the third negative electrode active material is greater than 1.96... (As in Comparative Example 2) or the compacted density of the second graphite powder of the second negative electrode active material is greater than 2.05. (As in Comparative Example 4) or when the conductivity of the third negative electrode layer is less than 1.42 S / cm (as in Comparative Example 7) or the conductivity of the second negative electrode layer is less than 0.75 S / cm (as in Comparative Example 9), lithium plating will occur on the surface of region 3 / region 6 of the negative electrode sheet (e.g. Figure 5 (The darker areas in the image represent lithium plating). Lithium plating in the battery leads to a lower SOC value and lower capacity retention after 500 cycles at room temperature. If the compacted density of the first graphite powder of the first negative electrode active material is greater than 1.85... When the conductivity of the first negative electrode layer is less than 2.56 S / cm (as in Comparative Example 6), lithium plating will occur on the surface of region 1 / region 4 of the negative electrode sheet, that is, lithium plating will occur near the negative electrode tab, which will affect the SOC value and cycle performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0190] As can be seen from Experimental Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-13, only when the 5T powder compaction density of the first active material (first graphite), the 5T powder compaction density of the second active material (second graphite), and the 5T powder compaction density of the third active material (third graphite) are respectively between 1.75 and 1.85... 1.98-2.05 1.88-1.96 For a battery to simultaneously possess the property of not plating lithium (e.g., within the specified range of values, and with the conductivity of the first negative electrode layer, the second negative electrode layer, and the third negative electrode layer respectively falling within the ranges of 2.56-2.85 S / cm, 0.75-1.32 S / cm, and 1.42-2.45 S / cm), it must also fall within the specified range of values. Figure 4 It exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, including a high lithium plating SOC value and high cycle capacity retention.

[0191] To reduce lithium plating near the tab caused by conventional winding structures, the first negative electrode layer uses a lower 5T powder compaction density range (1.75-1.85) compared to the second and third negative electrode layers. The first layer of graphite is the graphite. This is because the lower the 5T powder compaction density of graphite, the harder it is, and the more pressure resistant it is. This means that there are more pores inside the negative electrode sheet, which can enhance the absorption capacity of electrolyte and increase the number of lithium-ion channels. This can improve the speed of lithium-ion insertion or extraction and reduce lithium plating at the tab. Although a lower 5T powder compaction density of graphite can improve kinetics and reduce lithium plating at the negative electrode tab, if the 5T powder compaction density of graphite in the first, second, and third negative electrode layers is relatively low (as in Comparative Example 13), it will lead to poor contact between active materials or between active materials and conductive agents over a large area in the later stages of cycling. This will increase resistance, reduce charge and discharge efficiency, and result in a larger capacity loss after 500 cycles. Moreover, a lower 5T powder compaction density will reduce the overall compaction density of the negative electrode sheet, which is not conducive to improving the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, graphite with a lower 5T powder compaction density is not suitable for the second and third negative electrode layers.

[0192] To improve the battery's energy density and cycle performance, the second negative electrode layer uses second graphite (1.98-2.05 g / L) with a higher powder compaction density range than the first and third negative electrode layers (5T). The higher the 5T powder compaction density of the active material graphite, the lower the hardness of graphite, which can increase the compaction density of the electrode, thereby increasing the energy density. Moreover, it can ensure close contact between active materials or between active materials and conductive agents during cycling, thus improving the cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0193] To reduce lithium plating on the surfaces of regions 3 and 6 without significantly lowering energy density, while maintaining good cycle performance and other electrochemical properties, the third anode layer is selected from graphite with a powder compaction density in the middle range of 5T (1.88-1.96 ppm) compared to the first and second anode layers. ).

[0194] In graphite-doped silicon negative electrode sheets, because graphite itself has relatively high conductivity, the influence of different types and contents of graphite on the conductivity of the electrode sheet is relatively small. Therefore, negative electrode sheets with different conductivity values ​​are generally prepared by selecting different contents of silicon-carbon, conductive agents, and binders. In Experiment 1-15 and Comparative Example 1-15 of this experiment, negative electrode sheets with different conductivity values ​​were prepared by selecting different contents of silicon-carbon, conductive agents, and binders. In order to improve the kinetics of lithium-ion batteries and reduce lithium deposition near the tab caused by conventional winding structures, the first negative electrode layer has a higher conductivity range (2.56-2.85 S / cm) compared to the second and third negative electrode layers. This is because the higher the conductivity, the smoother the electron transport in the electrode sheet, allowing the battery to exchange charges more efficiently during charging and discharging, thereby increasing the charging and discharging speed, improving the kinetics of the electrode sheet, and effectively reducing lithium deposition near the tab caused by conventional winding structures. Higher conductivity means better electrode dynamics, but also a lower proportion of active material, which is not conducive to improving energy density.

[0195] To improve the energy density and cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries, the conductivity range (0.75-1.32 S / cm) of the second anode layer is relatively low compared to the first and third anode layers. Lower conductivity means a higher proportion of active material, which is beneficial for increasing the battery's energy density. Moreover, lower conductivity results in a relatively slower electron transport speed, which can, to some extent, slow down the rate of side reactions within the battery, thus contributing to improved cycle stability and lifespan.

[0196] In order to reduce lithium plating, improve the kinetics of the negative electrode, and at the same time ensure high energy density and good cycle performance, the conductivity of the third negative electrode layer (1.42-2.45 S / cm) is in the middle range of the first and second negative electrode layers.

[0197] To further reduce lithium plating near the tab caused by conventional winding structures, it is crucial that the coating length of Region 1 be within a suitable range. As shown in Experimental Examples 1, 14-15, and Comparative Examples 14-15, the ratio of L2 (the coating length of Region 1) to the sum of L2 and L3 (the coating lengths of Region 2 or Region 3) should be within the range of 5%-10% for the battery to possess good overall electrochemical performance. If the ratio of L2 / (L2+L3) is less than 5% (as in Comparative Example 14), this will lead to insufficient kinetics in Region 1, making it prone to lithium plating during charge and discharge, thus reducing the battery's cycle performance. If the ratio of L2 / (L2+L3) is greater than 10% (as in Comparative Example 15), due to the larger coating length, this will not only reduce the energy density of the lithium-ion battery, but also cause poor electrical contact between active materials or between the active material and the conductive agent due to the low 5T powder compaction of graphite, resulting in a decrease in the battery's cycle capacity retention.

[0198] Therefore, in summary, the above test data demonstrates that the multilayer negative electrode sheet of this embodiment, which improves the electrochemical performance of a wound battery, utilizes a relatively low 5T powder compaction density range (1.75-1.85). The use of graphite as the first negative electrode active material, along with a high conductivity range (2.56-2.85 S / cm) and an optimal coating length (5% ≤ L2 / (L2+L3) ≤ 10%) for the first negative electrode layer, can significantly improve the kinetics of the negative electrode near the tab and reduce lithium plating caused by conventional winding structures. A higher 5T powder compaction density range (1.98-2.05) is also selected. The use of graphite as the second negative electrode active material and a second negative electrode layer with a low conductivity range (0.75-1.32 S / cm) improves energy density and cycle performance. A medium-density 5T powder with a compaction density range of 1.88-1.96... The third graphite of the third negative electrode active material and the third negative electrode layer with a medium conductivity range (1.42-2.45 S / cm) enhance the kinetics of the negative electrode sheet, while ensuring high energy density and good cycle performance.

[0199] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
