Detailed Implementation
[0075] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and embodiments of this utility model will be provided, but this does not limit the scope of this utility model.
[0076] This utility model discloses a negative electrode layer structure for a manganese-based positive electrode system, such as... Figure 1 From at least one side of the current collector layer outwards ( Figure 1 (Two sides), comprising, in sequence, a negative electrode material layer 2 and a capsule layer 1. The capsule layer 1 is composed of a capsule body 4, which includes a capsule shell layer 41 for forming an SEI film and a capsule body 41 for capturing Mn. 2+ The capsule core layer 42.
[0077] First, the presence of the capsule shell 41 allows the capsule layer 1 to form an SEI film on the negative electrode side of the battery in advance, thereby effectively improving the stability and uniformity of the SEI film and preventing Mn from forming. 2+ It is embedded during the natural formation of the SEI membrane; secondly, it is used to capture Mn after the capsule shell 41 breaks. 2+The capsule core layer 42 is released. Since the capsule shell layer 41 has formed an SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode material layer in advance, the released capsule core layer 42 will gather near the electrolyte side, capturing and fixing Mn migrating from the positive electrode side. 2+ To avoid Mn 2+ Safety risks arising from reduction on the negative electrode side.
[0078] The present invention also provides a battery comprising the negative electrode layer structure proposed in this invention and a manganese-based positive electrode.
[0079] The mass ratio of the capsule core layer 42 to the capsule shell layer 41 is selected from (90-99): (10-1).
[0080] As some preferred options, the mass ratio of the capsule core layer 42 to the capsule shell layer 41 can be further preferred to be (96-99):(4-1). When the mass ratio of the capsule core layer 42 to the capsule shell layer 41 is (96-99):(4-1), it helps to obtain a capsule layer 1 with stronger adsorption and fixation capacity, thereby better ensuring the integrity of the SEI membrane.
[0081] The thickness of capsule layer 1 is selected from 0.001 μm to 10 μm. When the thickness of capsule layer 1 is greater than 10 μm, the excessively thick capsule layer 1 may lead to increased resistance, thus affecting battery performance; while when the thickness of capsule layer 1 is less than 0.001 μm, it may be impossible to pre-construct a stable SEI film, and it may also be difficult to meet the requirements for Mn adsorption. 2+ Therefore, the thickness of capsule layer 1 is selected from 0.001μm to 10μm to meet the requirements.
[0082] As a further option, the thickness of the capsule layer 1 is preferably 0.005μm-8μm, 0.01μm-7μm, 0.05μm-5μm, or 0.1μm-3μm. The thickness of the capsule layer 1 will affect its internal resistance, the stability of the constructed SEI film, and the resistance to Mn. 2+ The adsorption capacity of the SEI membrane gradually increases with the increase of the thickness of capsule layer 1, and the stability of the constructed SEI membrane also increases, particularly for Mn. 2+ As the adsorption capacity of SEI membrane gradually increases, the internal resistance also increases simultaneously. Therefore, a balance must be struck between the stability of the SEI membrane and the adsorption capacity of Mn. 2+ For adsorption capacity and internal resistance, the thickness of capsule layer 1 is preferably 0.005μm-8μm, 0.01μm-7μm, 0.05μm-5μm, or 0.1μm-3μm.
[0083] As a further improvement, the thickness of the capsule layer 1 is preferably 0.5 μm-2 μm, specifically 0.5 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.7 μm, 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, 1 μm, 1.1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.3 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.7 μm, 1.8 μm, 1.9 μm, and 2 μm. When the thickness of the capsule layer 1 is 0.5 μm-2 μm, it helps to obtain higher SEI film stability and Mn... 2+ The capsule layer 1 has both adsorption capacity and lower internal resistance.
[0084] The particle size of the capsule body 4 is selected from 1μm-6μm. The particle size of 1μm-6μm can ensure the uniform distribution of the capsule body 4 on the capsule layer 1 and construct a capsule layer 1 with appropriate density.
[0085] As a further preferred embodiment, the particle size of the capsule body 4 is selected from 2μm-4μm. When the particle size of the capsule body 4 is selected from 2μm-4μm, it helps to further optimize the capsule body distribution.
[0086] The negative electrode material layer 2 includes a negative electrode active material layer 21 disposed on the current collector 3 side. The placement of the negative electrode active material layer 21 ensures the integrity of the negative electrode sheet structure and lays the foundation for further improvement of the negative electrode sheet.
[0087] As a further option, the negative electrode active material layer 21 can be configured as one or more layers, and the active materials between different layers can be different.

[0088] As some preferred solutions, the number of negative electrode active material layers 21 is preferably 1-3 layers. When the number of negative electrode active material layers 21 is 1-3 layers, the unique advantages of different negative electrode active materials can be fully utilized, and different negative electrode active materials can be combined with each other to optimize battery performance. At the same time, the phenomenon of increased internal stress caused by the increase of the thickness of negative electrode active material layers 21 can be avoided. Therefore, the number of negative electrode active material layers 21 is preferably 1-3 layers.
[0089] As a further option, the negative electrode material layer 2 may also be provided with one or more functional coatings 22 with different functions from one side of the negative electrode active material layer 21 outward.

Then, by changing the reaction environment, another material is deposited on the surface of the capsule core layer 42 to form the capsule shell layer 41. This process usually involves non-covalent interactions between molecules, such as hydrogen bonds, electrostatic forces, and van der Waals forces.
[0123] Interfacial polymerization involves placing two liquid monomers in an oil phase and an aqueous phase, respectively. When these two phases come into contact, the monomers polymerize at the interface, forming a layer 41 that coats the outside of the capsule core layer 42, thus obtaining the capsule body 4. Emulsion polymerization prepares the capsule body 4 by first mixing monomers, emulsifiers, and water to form an emulsion. Then, an initiator initiates the polymerization reaction, causing the monomer molecules to gradually polymerize in the emulsion to form the capsule core layer 42. After the capsule core layer 42 is stably suspended in the emulsion, another monomer is added to the system, and further emulsion polymerization forms the capsule shell layer 41 on the outer layer of the core. Finally, layer-by-layer self-assembly is also a widely used method for preparing the capsule body 4. First, the capsule core layer 42 is synthesized using chemical or physical methods. Then, a shell material is deposited layer by layer on its surface, allowing the capsule shell layer 41 material to uniformly cover the surface of the capsule core layer 42 through self-assembly, ultimately obtaining the capsule body 4.
[0124] As a further option, the construction method of the capsule layer 1 is not limited. Technicians can choose an appropriate method to coat the capsule body 4 onto the negative electrode material layer 2 according to requirements. This method includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following: roller coating, blade coating, gravure coating, spray coating, electrophoretic deposition, spin coating, and dip coating. Roller coating refers to a method of uniformly coating slurry onto the current collector 3 using a roller. The roller typically has an application roller and a coating roller, and the slurry thickness is controlled by adjusting the roller speed and gap. Blade coating typically uses a blade to uniformly coat the slurry onto the surface of the current collector 3, and the gap between the blade and the current collector 3 can precisely control the coating thickness. Gravure coating refers to using a coating roller with grooves to transfer the slurry from the grooves onto the current collector 3. Spray coating is a method of using a spray gun to spray liquid paint onto the surface of an object, using compressed air or other gases to propel the paint. The coating material is atomized into tiny particles and uniformly covered on the object to be coated, enabling rapid and large-area coating; electrophoretic deposition is a method that uses an electric field to drive particles in the coating to move in a solution and uniformly deposit them on the surface of a conductive substrate, achieving uniform coating thickness; spin coating is a coating technique that involves dropping coating onto the center of a rotating substrate and using centrifugal force to spread the coating evenly on the substrate surface, suitable for preparing thin films and uniform coatings; dip coating is a method that involves immersing an object in a coating tank and then lifting it at a constant speed to uniformly cover the object's surface with coating.
[0125] As a further embodiment, the roller coating method involves the following steps:

[0128] As a further option, the coating method is selected from any one of dense coating, dot coating, and block coating. Dense coating refers to the coating layer forming a uniform and continuous coverage layer on the substrate surface without obvious gaps or discontinuities; dot coating refers to the coating material being distributed on the substrate surface in the form of dots, with possible gaps between the dots. Block coating refers to the coating material existing on the substrate surface in a block form, which may cover most of the surface but is not necessarily continuous. Each of the three coating methods has its advantages, and during operation, technicians can choose different coating methods according to their needs.

[0181] Example 1
[0182] Preparation of capsule body 4: Lithium carbonate was used as the capsule shell layer 41 and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used as the capsule core layer 42. 9.5 g of EDTA and 0.5 g of lithium carbonate were added to a ball mill jar and ball milled for 2 h. After ball milling, the resulting mixture was transferred to a 50 mL crucible, placed in a tube furnace, and calcined at 300 °C for 3 h. After cooling to room temperature, capsule body 4 with a particle size of 3 μm was obtained.
[0183] Preparation of negative electrode: Capsule body 4, SiO2, and graphite were added to NMP solution and stirred for 2 hours to prepare a dispersion of capsule body 4, SiO2, and graphite with a solid content of 30%. Using copper foil as the current collector, the SiO2 dispersion, graphite dispersion, and capsule body 4 dispersion were sequentially coated onto the surface of the copper foil. The roller gap was 1 μm and the roller speed was 40 r / min. After each layer was coated, it was dried at 110℃ for 12 hours before the next layer was coated, until all the dispersions were coated.

[0231] Test methods
[0232] Loop test flow:
[0233] First, charge at a constant current of 0.33C to 4.5V, and then charge at a constant voltage of 4.5V until the current is less than or equal to 0.05C;
[0234] After a 10-minute rest period, the circuit was discharged at a constant current of 0.33C to 1.5V, followed by another 10-minute rest period. This cycle was repeated 283 times, and the capacity retention rate at 0.33C was plotted.
[0235] Capacity retention rate (%) = (Capacity after initial capacity cycle) × 100%.
[0236] The Mn content in the bottom layer of the negative electrode sheet was tested using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
[0237] The experimental parameters for Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-11 are shown in Table 1, and the test results are shown in Table 2.

[0242] Table 2
[0243]
[0244] As can be observed from Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-11, the Mn content in the bottom layer of the negative electrode sheet after cycling in Examples 1-13 is much lower than that in Comparative Examples 1-11, indicating that the negative electrode layer structure used in the manganese-based positive electrode system can effectively avoid Mn. 2+ Because of the embedding, Examples 1-13 exhibit better capacity retention than Comparative Examples 1-11.
[0245] As can be observed from Examples 1, 11, 4, 12, 6, 13, and 8, Examples 1, 11, 12, and 13 significantly exhibit better capacity retention rates after 283 cycles than Comparative Examples 1, 4, 6, and 8. This is because the proposed negative electrode layer structure can form a stable SEI film to avoid Mn. 2+ Embedded during the natural formation of the SEI membrane, the presence of the capsule core layer 42 also helps to capture and immobilize migrating Mn. 2+ This protects the integrity of the SEI membrane structure and improves the cycling capacity retention rate. After 283 cycles, Examples 1, 11, 12 and 13 showed cycling capacity retention rates of 85.23%, 89.32%, 88.7% and 86.54%, respectively.
[0246] As observed in Examples 1, 2, 3, 11, 5, 12, 7, 13, and 9, the presence of the capsule body 4, composed of a core layer 42 and a shell layer 41, is of great significance for improving the capacity retention of the manganese-based cathode battery system. As observed in Comparative Examples 2, 7, and 9, when the core layer 42 is absent, although the shell layer 41 simultaneously forms an SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode, it does not necessarily prevent the formation of a MnO2-containing electrolyte. 2+ Mn is embedded during the natural formation of the SEI film; however, with continuous battery cycling, Mn... 2+ Mn continuously migrates from the positive electrode to the negative electrode, lacking the ability to capture it. 2+ Capsule core layer 42, Mn migrated from 2+It may still damage the SEI film structure, thereby affecting the battery cycle capacity retention rate. On the other hand, as observed from Comparative Examples 3 and 5, when only the capsule core layer 42 is present, the Mn content at the bottom layer of the negative electrode sheet in Comparative Examples 3 and 5 after cycling is 0.86% and 0.94%, respectively, which is higher than 0.25% and 0.20% in Examples 1 and 11. Due to the lack of a pre-constructed SEI film, although the capsule core layer 42 can capture and fix the Mn migrating from the positive electrode during the natural formation of the SEI film, it is still insufficient. 2+ However, some Mn may still exist. 2+ When the negative electrode is embedded, the Mn content at the bottom layer of the negative electrode increases after cycling, which affects the cycle capacity retention rate.
[0247] As observed in Examples 1, 9, and 10, when different manganese-based materials are used as the positive electrode active material, although different manganese-based positive electrode materials exhibit different cycle capacity retention rates, the Mn content in the bottom layer of the negative electrode sheet does not exceed 0.3% after cycling. In contrast, in Comparative Examples 1, 10, and 11, the Mn content in the bottom layer of the negative electrode sheet exceeds 1% after cycling. This indicates that regardless of the manganese-based material chosen as the positive electrode active material, a high Mn content may exist when the negative electrode sheet structure proposed in this scheme is not adopted. 2+ The negative electrode is embedded during cycling, which affects the cycle performance of the battery.
[0248] Examples 1, 2, and 3 demonstrate the effects of different materials used to prepare the capsule core layer 42 and capsule shell layer 41 on battery performance. As can be observed from Examples 1, 2, and 3, regardless of whether the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid material of the capsule core layer 42 is replaced with ammonium citrate or the lithium carbonate material of the capsule shell layer 41 is replaced with LATP, Examples 1, 2, and 3 all exhibit excellent capacity retention. This indicates that replacing the materials used to prepare the capsule core layer 42 and capsule shell layer 41 does not affect the performance of the negative electrode structure proposed in this scheme.
[0249] Examples 1 and 4 demonstrate the impact of capsules 4 prepared by different methods on the battery cycle capacity retention when used to construct the negative electrode layer structure. From Examples 1 and 4, it can be observed that Example 1 achieved a capacity retention of 85.23% after 283 cycles, while Example 4 achieved a capacity retention of 85.74% after 283 cycles. This data also indicates that different preparation methods of capsules 4 do not affect the performance of the negative electrode layer structure. Whether it is Example 1 prepared by dry coating or Example 5 prepared by molten droplet method, both methods effectively protect the negative electrode sheet and prevent Mn from spreading. 2+ Embedded in the cycle, it disrupts the SEI membrane structure.
[0250] Examples 1 and 5 demonstrate the impact of different mass ratios of the capsule core layer to the capsule shell layer on the battery cycle capacity retention. When the mass ratio of the capsule core layer 42 to the capsule shell layer 41 is 98:2, Example 5 exhibits a better cycle capacity retention (86.27%) and a lower Mn content in the bottom layer of the negative electrode after cycling (0.13%). This may be because increasing the proportion of the capsule core layer 42 helps to further intercept and fix Mn migrating from the positive electrode. 2+ This better ensures the integrity of the SEI membrane, and therefore, after 283 cycles, Example 5 exhibits better cycle capacity retention.
[0251] Controlling the capsule particle size helps regulate the density of the capsule layer 1, thereby affecting the battery's cycle capacity retention. As observed in Examples 1 and 6, when the capsule particle size is 3 μm, Example 1 exhibits a higher cycle capacity retention than Example 6. This may be because a 3 μm capsule 4 helps to construct a denser capsule layer 1, thus better intercepting and immobilizing Mn migrating from the positive electrode. 2+ This provides better protection for the SEI membrane.
[0252] Examples 1, 7, and 8 demonstrate the effect of the thickness of capsule layer 1 on battery performance. When the thickness of capsule layer 1 is selected as 1 μm, Example 1 exhibits better cycle capacity retention than Examples 2 and 8. This may be because a capsule layer thickness of 1 μm helps to obtain higher SEI film stability and stronger Mn content. 2+ Adsorption capacity; at the same time, the capsule layer 1 with a thickness of only 1 μm can obtain lower internal resistance, thereby improving the cycle capacity retention rate. Therefore, as can be observed from Example 8, although the Mn content of the bottom layer of the negative electrode sheet in Example 8 is only 0.23% after 283 cycles, Example 1 shows a higher cycle capacity retention rate (85.18%).
[0253] Examples 1 and 11 illustrate the influence of different layer structures on the performance of the negative electrode layer. Example 1 is shown in [reference needed]. Figure 1 See Example 11 Figure 2 ,Depend on Figure 2It is known that when the negative electrode layer structure includes, from the current collector 3 outwards, two layers of binder layer 23, two layers of negative electrode active material layer 21, two layers of conductive additive layer 221, two layers of negative electrode protective layer 222, and capsule layer 1, Example 11 exhibits a better cycle capacity retention rate than Example 1. Simultaneously, the Mn content of the negative electrode sheet after cycling is also better than that of Example 1. This may be because, on the one hand, the establishment of binder layer 23, conductive additive layer 221, and negative electrode protective layer 22 helps to further improve battery performance; the presence of binder layer 23 helps to improve battery stability; the setting of conductive additive layer 221 helps to improve battery conductivity; and the negative electrode protective layer 22 further provides protection for the negative electrode. Therefore, after cycling, Example 11 exhibits a better Mn content in the bottom layer of the negative electrode sheet than Example 1. Secondly, the double-layered binder layer 23, conductive additive layer 221, and negative electrode protective layer 222 help to further disperse internal stress, thereby improving battery stability. Therefore, the cycle capacity retention rate of Example 11 is better than that of Example 1.
[0254] Figure 3 The diagram illustrates the negative electrode layer structure, from the current collector 3 outwards, comprising two layers of negative electrode active material 21, two layers of negative electrode protective layer 222, and a capsule layer 1. A comparison of Examples 1 and 12 shows that Example 12 also exhibits better cycle capacity retention than Example 1. This may be because the presence of the negative electrode protective layer 222 helps to further protect the battery negative electrode and prevent Mn from entering the battery. 2+ The embedding of [material name] improves the cycle capacity retention rate. In addition, its dual-layer structure also helps to disperse internal stress and leverage the synergistic effect between different materials, thereby optimizing battery performance.
[0255] Figure 4 The structure of Example 13 is shown in the figure. When the negative electrode active material includes two layers of binder layer 23, two layers of negative electrode active material layer 21, two layers of conductive additive layer 221, and capsule layer 1 from the current collector 3 outwards, Example 4 also shows a high cycle capacity retention rate. From Example 1 and Example 13, it can be observed that the cycle capacity of Example 13 is 86.54%, while the cycle capacity of Example 1 is 85.23%. This may be due to the presence of two layers of binder layer 23 and two layers of conductive additive layer 221 in Example 13. On the one hand, the presence of binder layer 23 and conductive additive layer 221 helps to improve the battery stability and conductivity. On the other hand, the double-layer binder layer 23 and conductive additive layer 221 also help to exert the compounding effect of their different interlayer materials, thereby improving the cycle capacity retention rate.
