Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery materials technology, specifically to negative electrode binders, secondary batteries, and electrical devices. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing severity of the energy crisis and environmental pollution, the development of new energy technologies has received widespread attention globally. Among numerous new energy technologies, secondary batteries have become a research and application hotspot due to their advantages such as high energy density, long lifespan, and lack of memory effect. However, traditional graphite anode materials have approached the limit of their theoretical capacity and cannot meet the ever-increasing demand for high energy density. Therefore, silicon-based anode materials, due to their high theoretical specific capacity (approximately 4200 mAh / g, more than ten times that of graphite), have become an ideal alternative to graphite. However, silicon-based anode materials undergo significant volume changes during charge and discharge, leading to the destruction of the electrode structure and a decline in cycle performance.

[0003] In secondary batteries, binders can bond active materials (such as silicon-based anode materials) and conductive agents to the current collector, reducing the adverse effects of volume changes during lithium insertion / extraction processes on the electrode and stabilizing its internal structure. Commonly used silicon-based anode binders include CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose), PAA (polyacrylic acid), and PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride). PVDF has a relatively weak interaction with silicon particles; when silicon particles expand significantly, the PVDF binder is easily damaged, leading to electrode instability and affecting battery cycle performance. CMC contains a rigid six-membered heterocyclic structure, resulting in relatively poor flexibility. During charging and discharging, this rigid structure can easily cause cracking of the electrode, affecting the battery's cycle stability. PAA is relatively brittle, and its polymer chains are quite fragile, making it prone to breakage during battery charging and discharging. Once subjected to external forces, PAA binder is also prone to permanent deformation, causing the active material to agglomerate, thereby affecting the capacity of the active material. This not only reduces the rate performance of the battery but also has an adverse effect on the cycle stability of the battery. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide a negative electrode binder, a secondary battery, and an electrical device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: Firstly, a negative electrode binder is provided, wherein the negative electrode binder comprises hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, ester and benzene ring structures.

[0021] Thirdly, an electrical device is provided, including the aforementioned secondary battery.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in the negative electrode binder of this application can form hydrogen bonds on the surface of the negative electrode active material, thereby improving the adhesion between the negative electrode binder and the negative electrode active material. The benzene ring structure forms a good interfacial adhesion with the carbon-based material through π-π conjugated stacking interaction. Under the dual effects of the negative electrode binder's "silicon affinity" and "carbon affinity", the dispersibility of silicon-based materials in the negative electrode active slurry is improved, as well as the adhesion between the negative electrode active material and the negative electrode current collector. The ester group can improve the chemical stability of the negative electrode binder. In addition, the hydroxyl group can also serve as a crosslinking site, enabling the negative electrode binder to build a stable three-dimensional crosslinked network structure around the negative electrode active material, effectively preventing irreversible slippage of the negative electrode active material. At the same time, it can also buffer the expansion stress generated by the silicon-based material, buffer the volume change of the negative electrode sheet, maintain the electrical connection and integrity of the negative electrode sheet, and improve the cycle performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0023] Negative electrode binders enhance the bonding force between negative electrode active materials, improve interfacial stability, and effectively protect the negative electrode active materials from the influence of electrolyte, forming a stable SEI film, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of secondary batteries.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application.

[0026] As used in this article: "Prepared from" is synonymous with "comprising". The terms "comprising", "including", "having", "containing", or any other variations thereof as used herein are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, step, method, article, or apparatus that includes the listed elements is not necessarily limited to those elements, but may include other elements not expressly listed or elements inherent to such composition, step, method, article, or apparatus.

[0027] The conjunction "composed of..." excludes any unspecified elements, steps, or components. If used in a claim, this phrase makes the claim closed, excluding materials other than those described, except for associated conventional impurities. When the phrase "composed of..." appears in a clause of the body of a claim rather than immediately following it, it limits only the elements described in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.

[0028] When a quantity, concentration, or other value or parameter is expressed as a range, a preferred range, or a range defined by a series of upper and lower preferred values, this should be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed by any pair of any upper or preferred value with any lower or preferred value, regardless of whether the range is disclosed individually. For example, when the range “1-5” is disclosed, the described range should be interpreted as including ranges “1-4”, “1-3”, “1-2”, “1-2 and 4-5”, “1-3 and 5”, etc. When numerical ranges are described herein, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include its endpoints and all integers and fractions within that range.

[0029] In these embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the portions and percentages are all by weight.

[0030] "Parts by mass" refers to the basic unit of measurement that expresses the mass ratio of multiple components. One part can represent any unit mass, such as 1g or 2.689g. If we say that component A has 'a' parts by mass and component B has 'b' parts by mass, it means that the mass ratio of component A to component B is a:b. It is important to understand that, unlike mass percentage content, the sum of the mass parts of all components is not limited to 100 parts.

[0031] "And / or" is used to indicate that one or both of the described situations may occur, for example, A and / or B includes (A and B) and (A or B).

[0032] In a first aspect, a negative electrode binder is provided, the negative electrode binder comprising hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, ester and benzene ring structures.

[0033] The hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in the negative electrode binder of this application can form hydrogen bonds on the surface of the negative electrode active material, thereby improving the adhesion between the negative electrode binder and the negative electrode active material. The benzene ring structure forms a good interfacial adhesion with the carbon-based material through π-π conjugated stacking interaction. Under the dual effects of the negative electrode binder's "silicon affinity" and "carbon affinity", the dispersibility of silicon-based materials in the negative electrode active slurry is improved, as well as the adhesion between the negative electrode active material and the negative electrode current collector. The ester group can improve the chemical stability of the negative electrode binder. In addition, the hydroxyl group can also serve as a crosslinking site, enabling the negative electrode binder to build a stable three-dimensional crosslinked network structure around the negative electrode active material, effectively preventing irreversible slippage of the negative electrode active material. At the same time, it can also buffer the expansion stress generated by the silicon-based material, buffer the volume change of the negative electrode sheet, maintain the electrical connection and integrity of the negative electrode sheet, and improve the cycle performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0034] The negative electrode binder groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, ester and benzene ring) can be determined by specific testing methods, including at least one of infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and Raman spectroscopy.

[0035] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the hydroxyl group to the benzene ring is 1:(0.04~0.36); for example, it can be a range of values ​​consisting of one or any two of 1:0.04, 1:0.07, 1:0.10, 1:0.13, 1:0.15, 1:0.18, 1:0.20, 1:0.22, 1:0.25, 1:0.27, 1:0.30, 1:0.33, and 1:0.36.

[0036] In this application, the molar ratio of hydroxyl groups to benzene rings is within the above-mentioned range, which is beneficial to improving the "silicophilic" and "carbonophilic" effects of the negative electrode binder, as well as improving the structural stability of the three-dimensional cross-linked network formed by the negative electrode binder, thereby improving the cycle performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0037] In some embodiments, the negative electrode binder has the following structural formula: , Where m = 3000~10000; for example, it can be a range of values ​​consisting of one or any two of 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, and 10000.

[0038] In this application, the above-mentioned negative electrode binder can improve the mechanical strength and toughness of the three-dimensional cross-linked network structure formed by the negative electrode binder, suppress the volume expansion of silicon-based negative electrode materials, prevent the binder from being too brittle and causing breakage and detachment, and improve the cycle performance and rate performance of secondary batteries containing negative electrode binders.

[0039] In some embodiments, the tensile strength of the negative electrode binder is 2.8~3.6 MPa, for example, it can be a range of one or any two of 2.8 MPa, 2.9 MPa, 3 MPa, 3.1 MPa, 3.2 MPa, 3.3 MPa, 3.4 MPa, 3.5 MPa, and 3.6 MPa; the strain is 18~24%, for example, it can be a range of one or any two of 18%, 18.5%, 19%, 19.5%, 20%, 20.5%, 21%, 21.5%, 22%, 22.5%, 23%, 23.5%, and 24%.

[0040] In some embodiments, the negative electrode binder is formed by polymerization of γ-polyglutamic acid, p-aminobiphenyl, gallic acid, and sorbitol.

[0041] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the γ-polyglutamic acid to the p-aminobiphenyl is 1:(0.05~0.35); for example, it can be a range of values ​​consisting of one or any two of 1:0.05, 1:0.1, 1:0.15, 1:0.2, 1:0.25, 1:0.3, 1:0.35.

[0042] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the γ-polyglutamic acid to the p-aminobiphenyl is 1:(0.02~0.25); for example, it can be a range of values ​​consisting of one or any two of 1:0.02, 1:0.05, 1:0.07, 1:0.1, 1:0.13, 1:0.15, 1:0.18, 1:0.2, 1:0.22, and 1:0.25.

[0043] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the γ-polyglutamic acid to the sorbitol is 1:(0.02~0.18); for example, it can be a range of one or any two of 1:0.02, 1:0.04, 1:0.06, 1:0.08, 1:0.1, 1:0.12, 1:0.14, 1:0.16, 1:0.18.

[0044] The above molar ratio of γ-polyglutamic acid, p-aminobiphenyl, gallic acid, and sorbitol can generate more crosslinking sites during the polymerization reaction, thereby improving the mechanical strength and cohesive force of the negative electrode binder, and enhancing its adhesion to the negative electrode active material.

[0045] In some embodiments, the molecular weight of the γ-polyglutamic acid is 700,000 to 2,000,000; for example, it can be a range of one or any combination of 700,000, 800,000, 900,000, 1,000,000, 1,100,000, 1,200,000, 1,300,000, 1,400,000, 1,500,000, 1,600,000, 1,700,000, 1,800,000, 1,900,000, and 2,000,000.

[0046] This application does not specifically limit the preparation method of the negative electrode binder, which can be obtained by polymerizing a composition of γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA), p-aminobiphenyl (AP), gallic acid (GA) and sorbitol (SL).

[0047] There are no particular restrictions on the polymerization method; any method can be used, such as solution polymerization, suspension polymerization, bulk polymerization, or emulsion polymerization. Known emulsifiers and crosslinking agents can be used in each polymerization method as needed.

[0048] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the negative electrode binder includes the following steps: Add γ-polyglutamic acid to deionized water and stir to dissolve, forming an aqueous solution of γ-polyglutamic acid; A cross-linking agent was added to an aqueous solution of γ-polyglutamic acid, and after stirring and dissolving, p-aminobiphenyl was added to carry out the first reaction to obtain a mixture of the first products. Gallic acid and sorbitol were added to the first product mixture to carry out a second reaction. The product obtained from the second reaction was dialyzed and dried to obtain a negative electrode binder.

[0049] Specifically, the crosslinking agents are 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS).

[0050] Specifically, the time for the first reaction is 8 to 18 hours, for example, it can be a range of one or any two of 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 14 hours, 16 hours, and 18 hours.

[0051] Specifically, the time for the second reaction is 6 to 16 hours, for example, it can be a range of one or any combination of 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 14 hours, and 16 hours.

[0052] Specifically, the temperatures of the first and second reactions are each independently 60~100℃, for example, they can be a range of one or any two of 60℃, 65℃, 70℃, 75℃, 80℃, 85℃, 90℃, 95℃, and 100℃.

[0053] Specifically, the dialysis time is 24 to 36 hours, for example, it can be one or any combination of 24 hours, 26 hours, 28 hours, 30 hours, 32 hours, 34 hours, and 36 hours.

[0054] Taking 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) as crosslinking agents, and the temperature of both the first and second reactions being 80℃ as an example, the reaction equation of the negative electrode adhesive is as follows: .

[0055] In a second aspect, a secondary battery is provided, including a negative electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet including a negative current collector and a negative active layer disposed on at least one side surface of the negative current collector, the negative active layer including an adhesive, the adhesive including the negative electrode adhesive.

[0056] Using the negative electrode binder of this application in the negative electrode sheet of a secondary battery can significantly improve the cycle performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0057] In some embodiments, the adhesive further includes a second adhesive, which includes at least one of PAA, CMC, SBR, and PVDF.

[0058] In this application, the negative electrode sheet containing the aforementioned second binder can further improve the cycle performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second adhesive comprises CMC and SBR.

[0060] In this application, the second binder composed of CMC and SBR is used in combination with the aforementioned negative electrode binder for the negative electrode sheet of the secondary battery, which can further increase the cycle performance and rate performance of the secondary battery. The combination of the second binder composed of CMC and SBR with the negative electrode binder can achieve all-round anchoring with "point-to-surface bonding". The negative electrode binder can act as a strong "point" anchoring, wherein the benzene ring is tightly bonded to the carbon layer through π-π conjugated stacking, while polar groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups are tightly bonded to the silanol bonds on the silicon surface, achieving strong point-to-point anchoring; the second binder composed of CMC and SBR acts as a "surface" coating, like a fishing net covering the negative electrode active material, rather than forming a strong anchoring effect on the surface of a single particle; the all-round anchoring effect of "point-to-surface bonding" can most effectively suppress the pulverization and shedding caused by the volume effect of silicon particles, as well as the contact failure with the negative electrode current collector, thereby further increasing the cycle performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0061] In some embodiments, based on the mass of the binder, the negative electrode binder has a mass percentage of 60% to 80%, the CMC has a mass percentage of 10% to 20%, and the SBR has a mass percentage of 15% to 25%.

[0062] In this application, the aforementioned percentages of negative electrode binder, CMC, and SBR can further enhance the cycle performance and rate performance of the secondary battery.

[0063] Specifically, based on the mass of the adhesive, the mass percentage of the negative electrode adhesive can be a range of one or any two of 60%, 62%, 64%, 66%, 68%, 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, and 80%.

[0064] Specifically, based on the mass of the adhesive, the mass percentage of CMC can be a range of one or any two of the following: 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, and 20%.

[0065] Specifically, based on the mass of the adhesive, the mass percentage of the SBR can be a range of one or any two of the following: 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, and 25%.

[0066] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the SBR in the negative electrode is greater than the mass percentage of the CMC.

[0067] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the binder is 3 to 8% based on the mass of the negative electrode active layer; for example, it can be a range of one or any two of 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 7.8%, and 8%.

[0068] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active layer further includes a negative electrode active material, which includes a silicon-based material.
