Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of conductive paste production processes, specifically to a lithium battery conductive paste and its production process. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion battery conductive pastes, as key auxiliary materials in the manufacture of lithium-ion battery electrodes, are widely used in power batteries, energy storage systems, and consumer electronics. Their core function is to construct an efficient conductive network between active material particles, thereby improving the battery's rate performance and cycle life. In practical applications, traditional conductive pastes often face two major technical bottlenecks. Firstly, nanoscale conductive agents (such as carbon black and carbon nanotubes) have large specific surface areas and high surface energies, making them prone to aggregation and difficult to disperse in solvents and electrode systems. Uneven dispersion can create localized conductive overloads or insulating zones, hindering uniform conductivity within the electrode and reducing the utilization rate of the active material. Secondly, the paste needs sufficient adhesion to ensure a strong bond between the electrode coating and the current collector (aluminum foil / copper foil). Insufficient adhesion can easily lead to active material peeling during battery charge-discharge volume changes, causing increased internal resistance, capacity decay, and even electrode detachment, seriously affecting battery safety and lifespan. Therefore, developing conductive pastes that combine high dispersibility and high adhesion is of great significance for improving electrode uniformity, structural stability and overall battery performance, and is one of the key directions for the improvement of current lithium battery material technology. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lithium battery conductive paste that solves the problems of poor dispersion stability and low adhesion of traditional conductive pastes during use.
[0004] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A production process for a lithium battery conductive paste specifically includes the following steps: Aqueous polymer and deionized water are mixed evenly, and high-speed shearing is performed for 30-40 minutes at a speed of 5000-7000 r / min and a temperature of 0-20℃. The temperature is then raised to 40-50℃, and conductive particles, defoamer, dispersant and thickener are added while stirring. The mixture is then reacted for 4-5 hours to obtain lithium battery conductive slurry.
[0005] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the aqueous polymer, deionized water, conductive particles, defoamer, dispersant, and thickener is 20-30:120-150:35-55:0.2-0.5:0.4-0.6:0.2-0.4. The defoamer is one or more of defoamer GP330 and defoamer SNT-6000F mixed in any proportion. The dispersant is BYK-110 dispersant, and the thickener is RH-960 thickener.
[0006] Furthermore, the aqueous polymer is prepared by the following steps: Step A1: Mix 2,4-diaminobutyric acid and dichloromethane evenly, stir and add triethylamine at a speed of 80-100 r / min and a temperature of 0-5℃, and react for 10-30 min. Then add di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and react for 2-4 h to obtain intermediate 1. Step A2: Mix intermediate 1, N-hydroxysuccinimide and tetrahydrofuran evenly, stir and add 1-ethyl((3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride at 100-120 r / min and 0-5℃, and react for 1-2 h. Raise the temperature to 20-30℃, add dopamine hydrochloride, and react for 5-7 h to obtain intermediate 2. Mix intermediate 2 and diethyl ether evenly, stir and add trifluoroacetic acid at 50-70 r / min and 0-5℃, and react for 1-2 h to obtain intermediate 3. Step A3: Mix isophorone diisocyanate and N,N-dimethylformamide evenly, and stir at 80-100 r / min and 60-70℃ while adding 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid, sodium 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonate, 4,4'-dithiodiphenylamine and dibutyltin dilaurate. React for 4-6 h, then stir and add polyethylene glycol and triethanolamine, adjust the pH to 7, and react for 8-10 h to obtain the pretreated polymer. Mix the pretreated polymer, intermediate 3 and tetrahydrofuran evenly, and react at 100-120 r / min and 40-50℃ for 16-24 h to obtain the aqueous polymer.
[0007] Furthermore, the amounts of 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, dichloromethane, triethylamine, and ditert-butyl dicarbonate in step A1 are 10 mmol: 20 mL: 1.5 g: 12 mmol.
[0008] Furthermore, in step A2, the ratio of intermediate 1, N-hydroxysuccinimide, tetrahydrofuran, 1-ethyl((3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and dopamine hydrochloride is 1 mol: 1.1 mol: 120 mL: 2.2 mmol: 1.5 mol, and the ratio of intermediate 2 and trifluoroacetic acid is 5 g: 8-10 mL.
[0009] Further, in step A3, the molar ratio of isophorone diisocyanate, 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid, sodium 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonate, 4,4'-dithiodiphenylamine, and polyethylene glycol is 1.5:0.2:0.2:0.05:0.4, the amount of dibutyltin dilaurate is 0.2-0.5% of the mass of isophorone diisocyanate, the average molecular weight of polyethylene glycol is 400, and the molar ratio of isocyanate groups on the pretreated polymer to amino groups on intermediate 3 is 1:1.5.
[0010] Furthermore, the conductive particles are made by the following steps: Step B1: Mix copper powder, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and deionized water evenly, stir and add silver nitrate solution under the conditions of 200-300 r / min, 30-40℃ and pH 10-11, and react for 8-10 h to obtain copper-silver core-shell powder. Step B2: Mix copper-silver core-shell powder, 3-mercaptopropionic acid and ethanol evenly, and react for 12-24 hours at a speed of 150-170 r / min and a temperature of 20-25℃ to obtain pretreated powder. Step B3: Mix aniline and hydrochloric acid evenly, stir for 15-20 minutes at a speed of 120-140 r / min and a temperature of 20-30℃, add pretreated powder and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, react for 20-30 minutes, add deionized water solution of ammonium persulfate, and react for 3-5 hours to obtain conductive particles.
[0011] Furthermore, in step B1, the ratio of copper powder, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, deionized water, and silver nitrate solution is 1g:7-10g:100mL:30mL, and the molar concentration of silver nitrate is 0.1mol / L.
[0012] Furthermore, in step B2, the ratio of copper-silver core-shell powder, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, and ethanol is 1g:0.2g:100mL.
[0013] Furthermore, in step B3, the ratio of aniline, hydrochloric acid, pretreatment powder, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and deionized aqueous solution of ammonium persulfate is 0.3 mol: 100 mL: 3 g: 0.25 g: 100 mL, the molar concentration of hydrochloric acid is 1 mol / L, and the molar concentration of deionized aqueous solution of ammonium persulfate is 3 mol / L.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: First, aqueous polymer and deionized water are subjected to high-speed shearing at low temperature to form a uniform and stable solution. Then, conductive particles, defoamer, dispersant and thickener are added to make the components uniformly mixed and stably form a conductive network, thus obtaining a lithium battery conductive slurry.
[0015] Aqueous polymer: Under alkaline conditions, the primary amines at both ends of the 2,4-diaminobutyric acid molecular chain nucleophilically attack the carbonyl carbon of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, thereby protecting the highly reactive amino groups. Triethylamine neutralizes the generated acid, yielding intermediate 1. The carboxyl group on intermediate 1 is activated and reacts with the amino group on dopamine hydrochloride to form an amide bond, yielding intermediate 2. Then, under acid catalysis, a β-elimination reaction occurs, deprotecting the amino group and yielding intermediate 3. Under the action of a catalyst, excess isophorone diisocyanate first reacts with the amino groups on 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid, sodium 2,4-diaminobenzenesulfonate, and 4,4'-dithiodiphenylamine to form urea bonds. Then, the isocyanate groups at the chain ends react with polyethylene glycol to form urethane groups, yielding a pretreated polymer. The isocyanate groups of the pretreated polymer chain react with the amino groups on intermediate 3 to form urea bonds, yielding the aqueous polymer.
[0016] Conductive particles: Under alkaline conditions, silver ions in silver nitrate solution undergo a displacement reaction with copper powder, depositing a silver layer on the surface of the copper powder. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) acts as a chelating agent, forming a stable complex with the generated copper ions to prevent copper ion precipitation or interference with the reaction, thus producing copper-silver core-shell powder. The thiol groups of 3-mercaptopropionic acid combine with the silver shell surface of the copper-silver core-shell powder to form an Ag-S bond self-assembled monolayer, thereby introducing carboxyl functional groups onto the particle surface. Hydrochloric acid and aniline form aniline salts, providing an acidic polymerization environment. Under the action of an initiator, the carboxyl functional groups can guide the nucleation and growth of polyaniline on the particle surface through hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions, forming a coating layer to obtain conductive particles.
[0017] The aqueous polymer molecular chain contains catechol groups, whose catechol structures can form various interactions such as coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds with metal oxides and active material surfaces, enabling the aqueous polymer to firmly adhere to different substrates as a binder. In aqueous slurries, water molecules on the particle surface can hinder the contact between the binder and the particles, but the catechol groups have strong hydrophilicity and hydrogen bonding capabilities, effectively displacing this water film and allowing the binder molecules to interact directly with the particle surface, thus maintaining high adhesion in a "wet" state. The hydrophilic and flexible polyethylene glycol segments and rigid benzene ring segments on the aqueous polymer molecular chain are incompatible and spontaneously undergo microphase separation. The hard segments firmly anchor the silicon anode particles, while the soft segments "absorb" volume changes through high curling and stretching. Combined with the dynamically reversible disulfide bond structure, this significantly suppresses electrode expansion. In-situ polymerization of copper-silver core-shell powder forms a polyaniline coating layer. This coating layer acts as a physical barrier, reducing direct contact between high surface energy metal powders, preventing hard agglomeration, and has better compatibility with aqueous polymers in the slurry, which is beneficial for uniform dispersion.
