Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of secondary battery technology, specifically relating to a method for regulating the performance of electrode materials in secondary batteries, a battery preparation method, and a secondary battery. It can also be applied to the field of electrode material regeneration, repair, and recycling of retired secondary batteries. Background Technology
[0002] As a core energy storage device, secondary batteries have been widely used in various fields such as new energy vehicles, grid energy storage, consumer electronics, and power tools. Electrode materials, as a core component of secondary batteries, directly determine carrier transport efficiency, active material utilization, volume change buffering capacity, and interface stability through their micro- and nano-structures. They are the core factors determining the rate performance, cycle life, capacity density, and safety performance of finished secondary batteries. Current mainstream electrode control and battery fabrication technologies all share a common core defect that cannot be avoided: Insufficient control precision and inability to achieve quantitative control in open-loop processes: Traditional electrodes use open-loop preparation processes, which can only roughly adjust the porosity of the electrode sheet through macroscopic parameters such as solid content and rolling pressure. They cannot achieve quantitative and precise control over key microstructure parameters such as pore gradient distribution, carrier transport tortuosity, and active material interface texture. The batch deviation of parameters generally exceeds ±0.2, which ultimately leads to a fluctuation of more than 10% in the performance of the finished battery, failing to meet the customization and consistency requirements of high-performance batteries. Poor performance synergy makes it impossible to achieve a balance of multi-dimensional indicators: Existing control methods can only perform fragmented optimizations on a single performance. For example, the hole-forming process can improve rate performance but will reduce electrode compaction density and cycle stability. Surface coating can improve cycle life but will increase charge transfer resistance. Ultimately, the finished battery cannot meet the multi-dimensional requirements of rate, cycle, capacity and safety, and it is difficult to adapt to the differentiated requirements of different scenarios. The applicability is extremely narrow and there is a lack of a universal control framework: existing control methods are mostly exclusive processes developed for single material systems and single battery types. For example, the pore-forming process of silicon-carbon anodes for lithium-ion batteries cannot be adapted to the modification requirements of hard carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries. The control schemes of power battery electrodes cannot be directly transferred to energy storage battery systems. Battery development cycles are long and trial-and-error costs are high. There is a lack of a universal control technology framework that can cover the entire system of commercial secondary batteries. The structure-performance mapping is ambiguous, and there is no forward design capability: Existing technologies cannot establish a quantitative correlation model between electrode microstructure parameters and battery performance. Battery development relies heavily on the experience of R&D personnel and repeated trial and error, and cannot achieve forward design of "battery target performance → electrode target microstructure → process parameter adjustment". This results in long R&D cycles and low mass production conversion efficiency. Insufficient recycling capacity for retired batteries: In the field of recycling and reusing retired secondary batteries, existing regeneration and repair technologies can only perform simple purification and lithium replenishment on retired electrode materials. They cannot perform precise and targeted repair on the microstructures that collapse during the cycling process. The performance of recycled materials can only be restored to about 80% of that of new materials. They cannot achieve performance restoration or even improvement. Recycled materials cannot be used in high-end battery scenarios, and the recycling rate is extremely low. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Purpose of the invention In view of the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is: First, it provides a general-purpose method for precise control of electrode material performance that can be adapted to the entire system of commercial secondary batteries, solving the core pain points of existing technologies such as low control precision, poor adaptability, and insufficient batch stability. Second, it provides a method for preparing secondary batteries based on this modified electrode, so as to achieve precise conversion of electrode performance into battery performance. Third, it provides a high-performance secondary battery product that comprehensively improves overall performance such as rate capability, cycle life, capacity, and safety. Fourth, the above methods will be extended to the field of recycling and reusing retired secondary batteries to achieve high-performance regeneration and repair of retired electrode materials, thus creating a closed-loop technology for the entire life cycle of secondary batteries. Technical solution To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for precisely controlling the performance of a secondary battery electrode material includes the following steps: Step 1: Based on the theory of mass transfer kinetics and electrochemical reaction kinetics in porous media, establish a quantitative correlation model between electrode electrochemical performance and microstructure characteristic parameters, and obtain the target microstructure characteristic parameters according to the target performance parameters of the target application scenario; Step 2: Based on the target microstructure feature parameters, match the corresponding multi-dimensional structural modification methods and the corresponding collaborative energy input methods; Step 3: During the structural modification process, the measured values of the electrode's microstructure parameters are obtained in real time through in-situ monitoring. Based on the preset energy feedback coefficient, the energy input parameters are dynamically corrected to achieve closed-loop control of the entire microstructure evolution process. Step 4: Perform dual-dimensional verification of the modified electrode's microstructure parameters and electrochemical performance until both parameters reach the target values. A method for preparing a secondary battery includes the following steps: S1: Modified electrode materials were prepared using the above-mentioned electrode material control method; S2: The modified electrode material is prepared into an electrode sheet, and a corresponding electrolyte, separator, and shell are matched. After assembly, liquid injection, formation, and capacity testing, a secondary battery product is obtained. A secondary battery, wherein the positive and / or negative electrodes of the secondary battery are modified electrode materials prepared using the above-described control method. A method for recycling and reusing retired secondary batteries involves using the aforementioned control method to regenerate and modify the electrode materials of the retired secondary batteries, and then using the modified electrode materials to prepare new secondary batteries. Furthermore, the secondary battery is a commercially available rechargeable secondary battery, including but not limited to lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries, lithium manganese oxide batteries, lithium cobalt oxide batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, lead-carbon batteries, and nickel-metal hydride batteries; its application scenarios include but are not limited to secondary batteries for power applications, secondary batteries for energy storage applications, secondary batteries for consumer electronics applications, and secondary batteries for small power applications. Further, the microstructure characteristic parameters include at least one of the following: pore structure characteristic index Dp, pore tortuosity index Dt, interface texture characteristic coefficient Ds, and pore distribution characteristic index Df; wherein: Pore structure characteristic index Dp: Characterizes the gradient distribution characteristics of multi-level pores in the electrode, and is tested by nitrogen adsorption-desorption method and calculated according to GB / T 21650.2-2008 standard; The channel tortuosity index Dt: characterizes the degree of tortuosity of the carrier transport channel, and is calculated by three-dimensional reconstruction using an X-ray three-dimensional microscope; Interface texture characteristic coefficient Ds: Characterizes the microstructure complexity of the surface of the active material, and is calculated by field emission scanning electron microscopy image analysis; Pore distribution characteristic index Df: Characterizes the continuity and uniformity of pores formed by electrode particle accumulation. It is tested by mercury porosimetry and calculated according to GB / T 21650.1-2008 standard. Furthermore, the quantitative correlation model is a quantitative relationship model between the effective diffusion coefficient of charge carriers within the electrode and the microstructure parameters, expressed as: Deff = D0 × εk1 × (1 / Dt)k2 × C In the formula: Deff is the effective diffusion coefficient of charge carriers; D0 is the intrinsic diffusion coefficient of charge carriers in the active material bulk; ε is the porosity of the electrode sheet; and are model correction coefficients, obtained by fitting experimental data of the material system; C is the structural fundamental constant, which is related to the material system and the preparation process. Furthermore, the energy feedback coefficient α is used to characterize the sensitivity of energy input to the regulation of microstructure evolution. The expression is: α=ΔD / ΔE, where ΔD is the actual change in microstructure parameters and ΔE is the change in energy input. The specific value is obtained through linear fitting of the material system in the preliminary experiment.

Ultra-high precision quantitative control and industry-leading batch consistency: Through quantitative correlation model and closed-loop feedback control, the deviation of microstructure characteristic parameters can be controlled to ≤±0.05, and the deviation of battery finished product performance control to ≤3%, which far exceeds the control precision of traditional open-loop process and completely solves the industry pain point of large batch performance fluctuation of battery. Multi-performance synergistic optimization breaks the performance seesaw bottleneck: Through the directional control of multi-scale microstructures, the rate, cycle, capacity and safety performance of the finished battery can be synergistically optimized at the same time, completely breaking the bottleneck of the traditional process that "improving one performance must sacrifice another", and perfectly adapting to the differentiated needs of different scenarios. Achieving a leap in forward design and breaking free from reliance on experience: Based on a core quantitative correlation model, forward design can be achieved from “target battery performance → target electrode microstructure → adjustment of process parameters”, completely eliminating the reliance of traditional battery development on the experience of R&D personnel and shortening the R&D cycle by more than 60%.
