Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to positive electrode dispersants, positive electrode slurries containing them, positive electrode sheets, and secondary batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lithium battery technology is constantly developing towards high performance and high energy density. Among the mainstream development directions, there are two main ones. One is to use carboxyl-modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to replace traditional PVDF. Carboxyl-modified PVDF has higher adhesion, so less additive can be used to increase the proportion of the main material and achieve an increase in energy density. The other is to add lithium supplementation agents, which improve the energy density and cycle life of the battery by adding positive electrode lithium supplementation materials.

[0003] However, both carboxyl-modified PVDF and cathode lithium supplementation agents can cause viscosity rebound and even gelation during slurry preparation. Existing dispersants, such as acrylate dispersants, PVP, or polyether phosphates, are not effective in improving gelation. The market lacks cathode slurry dispersants that can be adapted to carboxyl-modified PVDF and cathode lithium supplementation agent systems, resulting in low viscosity and good stability during slurry preparation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention primarily aims to overcome the defects in existing technologies where adding carboxyl-modified PVDF and / or positive electrode lithium supplements can cause slurry gelation and viscosity rebound when improving the energy density of lithium batteries. It provides a positive electrode dispersant, a positive electrode slurry containing the dispersant, a positive electrode sheet, and a secondary battery. When the positive electrode dispersant provided by this invention is applied in the preparation of electrode slurries, it can effectively reduce slurry viscosity and improve slurry stability in the presence of carboxyl-modified PVDF and / or positive electrode lithium supplements.

[0078] Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-6

[0079] Preparation of dispersants

[0080] Mix the components according to the formula in Table 1 to prepare the dispersant, denoted as M1-M15. The solution mass in Table 1 refers to the total mass of the acrylate dispersant or polyvinylpyrrolidone dispersant and the solvent.

[0081] Examples 10-18 and Comparative Examples 7-14

[0082] Preparation of positive electrode slurry

[0083] The dispersants prepared in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were mixed with the positive electrode active material, binder, conductive agent and positive electrode lithium supplementer according to the formula in Table 2 (based on 100% of the total solid mass). The mixture was then homogenized using a dual planetary homogenizer to prepare a slurry. The solid content of the slurry was adjusted by adding NMP. The adjusted solid content of the slurry was recorded as the discharge solid content. The specific values ​​are recorded in Tables 3 and 4. The positive electrode slurry was thus prepared.

[0084] Table 1

[0085]

[0086] Table 2

[0087]

[0088] Effect Example

[0089] The cathode slurries prepared in Examples 10-18 and Comparative Examples 7-14 were tested for viscosity using a digital rotational viscometer. The viscosity of the freshly prepared cathode slurry was recorded as the discharge viscosity. The test environment temperature was 25°C and the ambient humidity was less than 80%. The cathode slurry was then placed in an environment at 25°C for 24 hours, and the viscosity was tested again and recorded as the 24-hour viscosity. The solid content, discharge viscosity, and 24-hour viscosity test results of each slurry are recorded in Tables 3 and 4.

[0090] Table 3

[0091]

[0092] As can be seen from the effect data in Table 3, for the slurry system with added positive electrode lithium supplement, the dispersant provided by the present invention can effectively improve the viscosity of the slurry under high solid content, significantly reduce the viscosity of the slurry, and significantly improve the viscosity rebound of the slurry after 24 hours, thus solving the problem of slurry gelation.

[0093] In Comparative Example 7, component A was used alone as a dispersant; in Comparative Example 8, component B was used alone as a dispersant; and in Comparative Example 9, component C was used alone as a dispersant. None of these methods could solve the gelation problem that occurred in the slurry with added positive electrode lithium supplement.

[0094] The dispersant used in Comparative Example 10, which only lacked component C, could not solve the gelation problem; the dispersant used in Comparative Example 11, which only lacked component B, could improve the viscosity rebound of the slurry, but could not completely solve the gelation problem; the dispersant used in Comparative Example 12, which only lacked component A, improved the viscosity rebound and increased the stability of the slurry, but the slurry's ability to increase solids content was insufficient.

[0095] This may be due to the synergistic effect of components A, B, and C. Component A mainly provides better solids content and acidity, and has the best dispersibility. Component B is the main acidic or neutral dispersant. Acidic dispersants can improve the gelation of carboxyl-modified PVDF and lithium supplementation systems. However, component B alone cannot completely solve the gelation problem. Component C alone has insufficient dispersibility and needs to be combined with A and B to solve the gelation problem. Component C is an additive with dispersing and stabilizing properties. In the carboxyl-modified PVDF system, its hydroxamic acid functional group can complex with the iron element of lithium iron phosphate to form a strong anchoring effect, which can reduce the aggregation of lithium iron phosphate and help improve viscosity rebound. In the positive electrode lithium supplementation system, hydroxamic acid is an acidic compound, which can neutralize part of the alkalinity and play a good stabilizing role. It is a key additive to improve stability.

[0096] Table 4

[0097]

[0098] As can be seen from the effect data in Table 4, for the slurry system with added carboxyl-modified PVDF, the dispersant provided by this invention can effectively improve the viscosity of the slurry under high solid content, significantly reduce the viscosity of the slurry, and significantly improve the viscosity rebound of the slurry after 24 hours, thus solving the problem of slurry gelation.

[0099] As can be seen from the results in Table 4, the dispersant provided by the present invention has better dispersing ability, higher slurry solid content, less viscosity rebound after 24 hours, and more stable slurry in the modified PVDF system compared with Comparative Examples 13 and 14. It can solve the slurry gelation problem and has obvious advantages.

[0100] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
