Description

A positive electrode sheet and its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lithium battery energy storage technology, and in particular to a positive electrode plate and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion battery energy storage devices typically require lithium replenishment because a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film forms at the negative electrode interface during the initial charge-discharge cycle, deactivating some of the active lithium and causing irreversible capacity loss. The most common lithium replenishment process involves adding a lithium-containing compound to the active material layer during the fabrication of the device's positive electrode. This compound replenishes a certain amount of lithium ions during the device's charge-discharge process.

[0003] However, lithium-containing compounds have poor air stability and are easily deteriorated by reaction when exposed to air and contact with moisture and carbon dioxide in the air. They may even directly affect the active substances in the positive electrode. Ultimately, not only will the expected lithium replenishment effect fail to be achieved, but the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion energy storage devices may even be significantly reduced.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the defects of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a positive electrode plate. In addition to the conventional current collector and active material layer, this product also introduces a lithium replenishment layer and an isolation layer between the structures in a specific order. This not only enables the product to effectively replenish lithium and form a stable SEI layer after being assembled into a lithium battery energy storage device with an electrolyte and a negative electrode plate, but also prevents the active material from reacting with the lithium replenishment agent or its lithium replenishment product in the lithium replenishment layer, resulting in excellent electrochemical performance of the product.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A positive electrode sheet, comprising a current collector, an active material layer, a separator and a positive electrode lithium replenishing layer which are sequentially arranged and stacked;

[0008] The isolation layer includes at least one of a conductive agent, a solid electrolyte, and a polyanion phosphate;

[0009] The positive electrode lithium replenishing layer contains a lithium-containing compound and a reducing agent.

[0010] In existing processes, in order to replenish lithium in the positive electrode, a lithium replenisher is often added to the active material layer. However, this method has been verified to be unsatisfactory. This is because although the lithium replenisher can effectively provide additional lithium ions to the active material layer, the active material will still come into direct contact with the electrolyte and quickly produce a SEI film. Therefore, the lithium ion conduction efficiency of the final lithium battery energy storage device is still constrained by the formation of the SEI film. At the same time, the lithium replenisher itself will also react with the electrolyte and even the active material. In particular, some products such as oxygen produced may cause oxidation of the active material. Ultimately, not only will it fail to achieve effective lithium replenishment, but it may even cause the capacity and cycle performance of the lithium battery energy storage device to rapidly decay. Therefore, in the technical solution of the present invention, the positive electrode sheet adopts a structural distribution of current collector-active material layer-isolation layer-positive electrode lithium replenishment layer. When applied to lithium battery energy storage devices, the active material layer and the positive electrode lithium replenishment layer realize electronic conduction under the action of the current collector. During the charging process, the active material in the active material layer and the lithium-containing compound in the positive electrode lithium replenishment layer are both delithiated, thereby realizing lithium replenishment. At this time, the positive electrode lithium replenishment layer will produce a certain amount of residual substances, which cooperate with the isolation layer to prevent the active material layer from direct contact with the electrolyte. Therefore, the SEI film on the positive electrode surface is more stable. The lithium battery energy storage device has better cycle stability; on the other hand, the isolation layer located between the active material layer and the positive electrode lithium replenishment layer contains at least one of a conductive agent, a solid electrolyte, and a polyanionic phosphate, which significantly improves the ion / electron conduction efficiency of the positive electrode sheet. Most importantly, the isolation layer can effectively prevent direct contact between the active material layer and the positive electrode lithium replenishment layer. The lithium-containing compound and the reducing agent in the positive electrode lithium replenishment layer will not react with the active material. At the same time, it can also prevent the reaction products generated by the positive electrode lithium replenishment layer during lithium replenishment from reacting with the active material. On this basis, the reducing agent in the positive electrode lithium replenishment layer can fully reduce the potential of the lithium-containing compound during the lithium replenishment process, thereby further improving its lithium replenishment performance, without having to worry about excessive reaction affecting the original lithium insertion and extraction efficiency of the active material layer.

[0011] Preferably, the active material layer includes a positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode active material is a doped or undoped material, including at least one of lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium manganese oxide, a ternary positive electrode material, lithium nickel manganese oxide, and a lithium-rich material.

[0012] The positive electrode sheet described in the present invention is applicable to all types of existing common active material positive electrode systems. The main reason is that the technical solution of the present invention not only separates the lithium replenishing component and the active material in the form of different layers, but also provides an isolation layer between the two layers. Regardless of the lithium deintercalation rate of the active material, it will not affect the lithium replenishment efficiency of the positive electrode lithium replenishment layer.

[0013] More preferably, the active material layer further contains a conductive agent and a binder.

[0014] Preferably, the conductive agent is at least one of conductive carbon black, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers; the solid electrolyte is at least one of an oxide solid electrolyte, a chloride solid electrolyte, and a polymer solid electrolyte; the polyanion phosphate is lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), lithium manganese phosphate (LiMnPO4), lithium manganese iron phosphate (LiMn x Fe 1-x PO4, wherein 0<x<1), at least one of lithium vanadium phosphate (Li3V2(PO4)3), lithium cobalt phosphate (LiCoPO4), and lithium nickel phosphate (LiNiPO4).

[0018] The inventors discovered that during the lithium replenishment and circulation process of the positive electrode sheet, the conductive agent, solid electrolyte and polyanion phosphate in the isolation layer can effectively improve the lithium ion / electron conduction rate of the positive electrode sheet when used alone. When the types of conductive agent and solid electrolyte are different, the charge and discharge capacity and cycle stability of the product when used in lithium battery energy storage devices are also different. When carbon nanotubes are selected as the conductive agent and LATP solid electrolyte is selected as the solid electrolyte, the electrochemical performance of the positive electrode sheet is better, especially when the two are combined and compounded in the above-mentioned preferred ratio, the product can exhibit optimal electrochemical activity.

[0030] It should be noted that, except for the isolation layer defined in the present invention, the conductive agents involved in the remaining layers are not particularly limited. Those skilled in the art can choose the type of self-made or commercially available conductive agent according to actual conditions, including but not limited to acetylene black, carbon black, carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, Ketjen black, etc.; the binders used in the layers can also be selected according to actual conditions.

[0042] When the positive electrode plate of the present invention is used in a secondary battery, the active lithium content in the product is effectively replenished. At the same time, the active material in the positive electrode plate will not be affected by the lithium replenishing material.

This not only enables the product to effectively replenish lithium and form a stable SEI layer after being assembled with an electrolyte and a negative electrode sheet into a lithium-ion energy storage device, but also prevents the active material from reacting with the lithium replenishment agent or its lithium replenishment product in the lithium replenishment layer, resulting in excellent electrochemical performance. The positive electrode sheet construction method is simple and can be produced on an industrial scale. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0072] The thickness of each layer is the same as that of the corresponding layer in Example 1. The difference from Example 1 is basically only that the order of constructing the structural layers of the positive electrode sheet is different.

[0073] Effect Example 1

[0074] In order to verify the use effect of the positive electrode sheet of the present invention, the positive electrode sheets prepared in each embodiment and comparative example were used to prepare lithium-ion batteries. The specific method is as follows:

[0075] Commercial graphite, conductive carbon black, and PVDF binder were mixed in a 93:2:5 ratio to form a slurry, which was then coated to prepare a negative electrode sheet. Coin cells were assembled in a glove box using this negative electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheets from each example and comparative example, and a 1M LiPF6 electrolyte dissolved in EC / DMC (1:1, volume ratio) (purchased from BASF Electrolytes GmbH, Germany). After each coin cell was left to rest for 24 hours, the following test method was used to test the LNMO, ternary, lithium cobalt oxide, and lithium nickel oxide cathode materials, respectively, based on the type of cathode material used. The initial charge-discharge cycle was performed at a rate of 0.05C, with the theoretical specific capacity of LNMO calculated as 146.7 mAh / g, and an operating voltage of 3.0-4.85 V. The cycle was then increased to 0.2C for 100 cycles. The charge and discharge capacities of the initial charge-discharge cycle were calculated, as well as the discharge capacity after 100 cycles. The theoretical specific capacity of the ternary battery is calculated to be 210 mAh / g. The operating voltage is 2.75-4.3 V. The first charge and discharge cycle is carried out at a rate of 0.05C. The rate is then increased to 0.2C and the cycle is repeated 100 times. The charge and discharge capacity of the first charge and discharge cycle is calculated, and the discharge capacity after 100 cycles is calculated. The theoretical specific capacity of lithium cobalt oxide is calculated to be 200 mAh / g. The operating voltage is 3-4.45 V. The first charge and discharge cycle is carried out at a rate of 0.05C. The rate is then increased to 0.2C and the cycle is repeated 100 times. The charge and discharge capacity of the first charge and discharge cycle is calculated, and the discharge capacity after 100 cycles is calculated. The theoretical specific capacity of lithium nickel oxide is calculated to be 220 mAh / g. The operating voltage is 2.75-4.3 V. The first charge and discharge cycle is carried out at a rate of 0.05C. The rate is then increased to 0.2C and the cycle is repeated 100 times. The charge and discharge capacity of the first charge and discharge cycle is calculated, and the discharge capacity after 100 cycles is calculated.

[0076] At the same time, in order to facilitate the comparison of the functionality of each structural layer in the product, the semi-finished products prepared in steps (1) and / or (2) of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were also tested as positive electrode sheets and named as Step (1) and Step (2), respectively (for example, Step (1) in Example 1 only obtained a positive electrode sheet containing a current collector and an active material layer, and the semi-finished product was applied to the same test and named Example 1-(1)).

[0077] The results are shown in Table 2.

[0078] Table 2

[0079] It can be seen from the performance of each positive electrode sheet in Table 2 that, under the conditions of different thicknesses, different active material layers, isolation layers and positive electrode lithium replenishing layer compositions, the positive electrode sheets of each embodiment of the present invention have significantly improved first efficiency and cycle stability compared with the single current collector-active material layer positive electrode sheet or the current collector-active material layer-isolation layer positive electrode sheet, indicating that in the positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode lithium replenishing layer can effectively replenish lithium, and under the joint action of the isolation layer and the positive electrode lithium replenishing layer, the product has a high content of reversible lithium ion insertion and deintercalation, which can achieve long-term positive and negative electrode conduction. Among them, when the isolation layer is composed of a composite of a conductive agent and a solid electrolyte, the performance improvement effect is higher than that of products with a single conductive agent or a solid electrolyte as a component. When the types of conductive agents and solid electrolytes are selected differently, the electrochemical properties of the positive electrode sheet are also different. According to the product performance of Examples 8 to 19, it can be seen that when the conductive agent is carbon nanotubes, the discharge capacity of the product can still reach 195.6 mAh / g after 100 cycles when used alone. When combined with a solid electrolyte, the electrochemical performance of the product is further improved, and when combined with LATP solid electrolytes, the discharge capacity can reach a higher 205.2 mAh / g after 100 cycles, which is much higher than the effect of carbon nanotubes and other solid electrolytes when combined as an isolation layer. However, if the mass ratio of the two is not in the range of (1:9) to (4:6), the optimal performance improvement may not be achieved. As shown in the products of Examples 23 and 24, their performance is not much different from that of Examples 9 and 15 in which the conductive agent or solid electrolyte is used alone. In addition, Examples 25 to 30 show that polyanion phosphates such as lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese phosphate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, lithium vanadium phosphate, lithium cobalt phosphate, and lithium nickel phosphate can also achieve the same effect as an isolation layer.

[0080] In contrast, the product of Comparative Example 1, constructed with a structure of current collector-positive electrode lithium replenishment layer-barrier layer-active material layer, exhibited poor electrochemical performance despite also having a lithium replenishment layer and a barrier layer. Clearly, this two-layer structure did not effectively inhibit direct contact between the active material layer and the electrolyte. The product's performance was even comparable to that of the positive electrode sheet obtained in step (1) of Example 1, which consisted of only a current collector and an active material layer. Similarly, the positive electrode sheet obtained in Comparative Example 2, which employed an inappropriate configuration, also lacked ideal lithium replenishment performance.

[0081] Furthermore, in order to study the functionality of the isolation layer in the positive electrode sheet of the present invention separately, reference products 1 to 7 were prepared according to a similar method as described in Examples 1 to 7. The only difference between these reference products and the products of Examples 1 to 7 is that after constructing the active material layer to the current collector in the preparation method, the isolation layer is not further constructed on the active material layer, but the positive electrode lithium replenishing layer is directly constructed on the active material layer. The rest of the parameters and process methods are the same as those of the corresponding embodiments. Similarly, reference product 8 was prepared according to a similar method as described in Comparative Example 1. The only difference between this reference product and the product of Comparative Example 1 is that in the preparation method, after constructing the positive electrode lithium replenishing layer on the current collector, the active material layer is further constructed. The rest of the parameters and process methods are the same as those of Comparative Example 1. According to Example 26, the lithium iron phosphate in the isolation layer is directly added to the ternary active material, without setting an isolation layer, and then the positive electrode lithium replenishing layer is constructed on the surface of the active material to prepare reference product 26.

[0082] The same test was performed on reference samples 1 to 8, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0083] Table 3

[0084] From the comparison of Table 3 and Table 2, it can be seen that the isolation layer of the present invention does not just function as a conventional conductive agent in the positive electrode sheet. Taking the test results of Example 1 and Reference Sample 1 as an example, it can be seen that in the absence of an isolation layer, the positive electrode lithium replenishing layer has a very limited effect on the lithium replenishment of the overall button battery. Both the initial capacity and the retained capacity after 100 cycles are close to those of the positive electrode sheet with only a current collector and an active material layer. After the isolation layer is included, the performance of the product is significantly improved, while Reference Sample 8 also shows performance degradation compared to the product of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the isolation layer of the present invention also effectively inhibits the contact between the positive electrode lithium replenishing layer and its reactants and the active material layer, avoiding mutual side reactions between the two structural layers. Compared with Example 26, Reference Sample 26 shows that the performance of the product is also significantly improved after the isolation layer containing lithium iron phosphate is included. Lithium iron phosphate is not used as an active material as an isolation layer.

[0085] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
