[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the first aspect of the present application provides a negative electrode plate, including a current collector, a negative electrode active material layer and a conductive layer, wherein the negative electrode active material layer is arranged on at least one side of the current collector; the conductive layer is arranged on the side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector, and the conductive layer includes a lithium acrylate polymer; the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is negatively correlated with the surface density of the conductive layer.
[0009] The present application includes at least the following beneficial effects: the lithium acrylate polymer is arranged on the side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector, and the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is negatively correlated with the surface density of the conductive layer, which can improve the fast charging capability and cycle performance of the battery, and can reduce the influence of the lithium acrylate polymer on the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, so that the negative electrode active material layer is not easy to fall off from the current collector.
[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode active material layer has pores, into which at least a portion of the lithium acrylate polymer is embedded. This increases the contact area between the lithium acrylate polymer and the negative electrode active material layer, thereby improving the battery's fast charging capability and cycling performance without affecting the adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector.
[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, a / D×100%=25%-40%. Thus, when a / D×100% is within the above range, the cycle life and fast charging performance of the secondary battery can be improved, and the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong and not easy to fall off.
[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the surface density of the conductive layer is 0.05g / 1540.25mm 2 -0.4g / 1540.25mm 2 Therefore, the surface density of the conductive layer is 0.05g / 1540.25mm 2 -0.4g / 1540.25mm 2 Within this range, the cycle life and fast charging performance of the secondary battery can be improved, and the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong and not easy to fall off.
[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, the porosity of the negative electrode active material layer is 20%-40%.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the negative electrode plate is 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm. Therefore, a thickness of the negative electrode plate within the range of 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm can improve the cycle life and fast charging performance of the secondary battery, and the bonding between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong, making it less likely to fall off.
[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the tortuosity of the negative electrode active material layer is 0.5-7. Therefore, when the tortuosity of the negative electrode active material layer is within the above range, the cycle life and fast charging performance of the secondary battery can be improved, and the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong and not easy to fall off.
[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is 5 N / m-20 N / m. Therefore, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is within the range of 5 N / m-20 N / m, which can improve the cycle life and fast charging performance of the secondary battery. The bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong and not easy to fall off.
[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the lithium acrylate polymer includes at least one of lithium polyacrylate, lithium polymethacrylate, lithium polyethylacrylate, or lithium polypropylacrylate. Thus, the lithium acrylate polymer, using at least one of the above substances, can improve the cycle life and fast-charging performance of the secondary battery, and provide strong adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, preventing it from falling off.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass fraction of lithium is 3% to 8.9% based on the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer. Therefore, when the mass fraction of lithium in the lithium acrylate polymer is within the above range, the cycle life and fast charging performance of the secondary battery can be improved, and the bonding between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong, preventing it from falling off.
[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass fraction of lithium is 5% to 7.5% based on the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer. Therefore, when the mass fraction of lithium in the lithium acrylate polymer is within the above range, the cycle life and fast charging performance of the secondary battery can be improved, and the bonding between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong, preventing it from falling off.
[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the lithium acrylate polymer is between 3,000 and 1,000,000. Therefore, a number average molecular weight (Mn) of the lithium acrylate polymer within this range can improve the cycle life and fast charging performance of the secondary battery, and strengthen the bonding between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, preventing it from falling off.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the lithium acrylate polymer is between 100,000 and 500,000. Therefore, a number average molecular weight (Mn) of the lithium acrylate polymer within this range can improve the cycle life and fast charging performance of the secondary battery, and strengthen the bonding between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, preventing it from falling off.
[0030] A second aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet, comprising:
[0031] forming a negative electrode active material layer on at least one side of the current collector;
[0032] forming a conductive layer on a side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector, wherein the conductive layer comprises a lithium acrylic acid polymer;
[0033] The bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is negatively correlated with the surface density of the conductive layer.
[0034] Therefore, the negative electrode sheet prepared by the above method has a strong bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector and is not easy to fall off. The secondary battery containing the negative electrode sheet has excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, a lithium acrylate polymer is sprayed onto the side of the negative electrode active material layer facing away from the current collector to form a conductive layer. At least a portion of the lithium acrylate polymer is embedded within the pores of the negative electrode active material layer. This creates a strong bond between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, preventing it from falling off. Secondary batteries containing this polymer exhibit excellent cycle life and fast-charging performance.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the spray pressure is 0.1 kPa-100 kPa. As a result, the negative electrode active material layer has a strong bonding force with the current collector, is not easy to fall off, and the secondary battery containing the negative electrode active material layer has excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the spraying temperature is 70° C.-150° C. Thus, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong and not easy to fall off, and the secondary battery containing the negative electrode active material layer has excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, a current collector containing a negative electrode active material layer is immersed in a lithium acrylate polymer solution to form a conductive layer on the side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector, and at least a portion of the lithium acrylate polymer is embedded in the pores of the negative electrode active material layer.

Secondary batteries containing this solution have excellent cycle life and fast-charging performance.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass proportion of the lithium acrylate polymer is 0.5% to 50% of the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer solution. This provides a strong bond between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, preventing it from falling off, and resulting in a secondary battery containing the lithium acrylate polymer having excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass of the lithium acrylate polymer accounts for 10%-20% of the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer solution.

[0053] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present application are described in detail. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application and are therefore only used as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0056] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs; the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned figure descriptions are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.
[0057] With the technological advancements and increasing demand for electric vehicles and rechargeable mobile devices, secondary batteries, as a representative of the new energy sector, have seen rapid growth in research. Secondary batteries offer a wide range of applications due to their compact size and weight, making them easy to carry and use. Their high specific energy content allows for greater energy storage capacity, and lithium-ion batteries exhibit no memory effect, requiring no full discharge and recharge.
[0058] People are increasingly demanding the fast-charging performance of secondary batteries. When lithium acrylate polymers are added to the negative electrode, the Lewis acid small molecules in the electrolyte complex with the negatively charged carboxyl groups in the added lithium acrylate polymer, further increasing the electronegativity of the carboxyl groups, making it easier for lithium ions to dissociate and improving the battery's fast-charging performance. However, when lithium acrylate polymers are directly mixed with negative electrode active materials and applied to battery electrodes, because lithium acrylate polymers are linear binders, the binding force between the negative electrode active material particles and the current collector is weakened, resulting in a decrease in the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, and the negative electrode active material layer is easily detached.
[0059] In the present application, the lithium acrylate polymer is arranged on the side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector, which can improve the liquid absorption capacity and lithium ion conductivity of the negative electrode plate, reduce the concentration polarization of the negative electrode when lithium ions are charged and discharged at the negative electrode, and improve the fast charging capability and cycle performance of the battery; at the same time, the contact probability of the lithium acrylate polymer with the current collector is low, which can reduce the influence of the lithium acrylate polymer on the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, making the negative electrode active material layer not easy to fall off.
[0060] The negative electrode sheet disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is suitable for a secondary battery, and the battery disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can be used in an electrical device that uses the battery as a power source or various energy storage systems that use the battery as an energy storage element. Electrical devices may include but are not limited to mobile phones, tablets, laptops, electric toys, electric tools, battery cars, electric cars, ships, spacecraft, etc. Among them, electric toys may include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys, and electric airplane toys, etc., and spacecraft may include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft, etc.
[0061] In a first aspect, the present application provides a negative electrode sheet comprising a current collector, a negative electrode active material layer, and a conductive layer, wherein the negative electrode active material layer is disposed on at least one side of the current collector; the conductive layer is disposed on a side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector, and the conductive layer comprises a lithium acrylic polymer;
[0062] The bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is negatively correlated with the surface density of the conductive layer.
[0063] It is understood that the lithium acrylate polymer refers to substituted or unsubstituted lithium polyacrylate, and lithium polyacrylate means that at least one hydrogen atom in polyacrylic acid is replaced by a lithium atom.
[0064] The present application includes at least the following beneficial effects: the lithium acrylate polymer is arranged on the side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector. On the one hand, the small molecules of the electrolyte can be complexed with the carboxylate groups in the lithium acrylate polymer, which can improve the liquid absorption capacity of the negative electrode and the lithium ion conductivity of the negative electrode. When lithium ions are charged and discharged at the negative electrode, the concentration polarization of the negative electrode is reduced, which can improve the fast charging capacity and cycle performance of the battery. On the other hand, the contact probability between the lithium acrylate polymer and the current collector is low, which can reduce the effect of the lithium acrylate polymer on the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, making the negative electrode active material layer not easy to fall off. In summary, the negative electrode plate proposed in the present application has a strong bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, and the battery containing the negative electrode plate has excellent cycle performance and fast charging performance.
[0065] By controlling the surface density of the conductive layer, the effect of the lithium acrylate polymer on the adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector can be reduced, making the negative electrode active material layer less likely to fall off. The adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong, and batteries containing the negative electrode sheet have excellent cycling performance and fast charging performance.
[0066] The "area density of the conductive layer" refers to the mass of the conductive layer per unit area of the current collector, which is a well-known concept in the art and can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be obtained by the following method:
[0067] Step 1: Punch the current collector containing the negative electrode active material layer into a piece with an area of 1540.25 mm 2 The small disc is weighed and its mass is g1;
[0068] Step 2: After the conductive layer is applied on both sides, the pole piece is punched into an area of 1540.25mm 2 The small disc is weighed and its mass is g2;
[0069] Surface density = (g2-g1) / 1540.25, unit: g / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode active material layer has pores, and at least a portion of the lithium acrylate polymer is embedded in the pores. This increases the contact area between the lithium acrylate polymer and the negative electrode active material, ensuring sufficient contact between the lithium acrylate polymer and the negative electrode active material, while also improving the battery's fast charging capability and cycling performance without affecting the adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector.
[0071] It can be understood that the pores on the negative electrode active material layer refer to the gaps between the negative electrode active materials. The pores on the negative electrode active material layer can be seen on a scanning electron microscope image. The number of pores on the negative electrode active material layer can be expressed by porosity, which is described in detail below.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is Z k Negative correlation, Z k is the reliable permeability of the lithium acrylate polymer in the negative electrode active material layer, the distance between the lithium acrylate polymer and the surface of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector in the pore is a mm, the thickness of the negative electrode sheet is D mm, the permeability = a / D×100%, and the permeability corresponding to the permeability distribution number reaching 90% is the reliable permeability.
[0073] It can be understood that the physical meaning of permeability is the degree of penetration of the lithium acrylate polymer in the negative electrode active material layer. "The distance between the lithium acrylate polymer in the pore and the surface of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector" refers to the vertical distance between the lithium acrylate polymer and the surface of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector in the pore. On the surface of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector, the permeability is 0. When the lithium acrylate polymer is embedded in the interface between the current collector and the negative electrode active material layer, the permeability is 100%; that is, each position where the lithium acrylate polymer exists in the pore has a corresponding permeability value. Reliable permeability means that among the permeabilities of various positions in the negative electrode active material layer, the permeability greater than this permeability accounts for more than 90%. The reliable permeability of the lithium acrylate polymer in the negative electrode sheet can be determined by the following method:
[0074] Through in-situ Raman spectroscopy online testing, the main functional group -COO of lithium polyacrylate was identified in the thickness direction of the electrode, and the characteristic peak was 1460cm -1 -1300cm -1 The corresponding thickness / total thickness of the electrode is the permeability. When the permeability distribution number reaches 90%, the corresponding permeability is the reliable permeability.
[0075] The thickness D of the negative electrode sheet can be measured by the following method:
[0076] Use a micrometer to measure the thickness. Use the micrometer to take 10 points in the horizontal and vertical directions of the electrode, and take the average value as the electrode thickness.
[0077] The bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is well known in the art and can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be obtained by the following method:
[0078] Refer to GB / T 2792-2014, "Test Method for Peel Strength of Adhesive Tapes." Specifically, take a 15-20 cm electrode sheet coated on both sides with negative electrode material; attach it to a steel plate with 3M double-sided tape. Test the electrode sheet using an INSTRON 3365 material testing machine to determine the relationship between force and distance; and calculate the electrode sheet adhesion value.
[0079] The bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is related to Z k Negative correlation means Z k The larger the Z is, the smaller the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is. k, reducing the effect of the lithium acrylate polymer on the adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, making the negative electrode active material layer less likely to fall off. The adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong, and the battery containing the negative electrode sheet has excellent cycle performance and fast charging performance.
[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the bonding strength between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is negatively correlated with the thickness of the negative electrode plate. Therefore, by controlling the thickness of the negative electrode plate, the effect of the lithium acrylate polymer on the bonding strength between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector can be reduced, making the negative electrode active material layer less likely to fall off. The bonding strength between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong, and batteries containing the negative electrode plate exhibit excellent cycling performance and fast-charging performance.
[0081] The thickness of the negative electrode sheet includes at least the sum of the thickness of the current collector, the thickness of the negative electrode active material layer, and the thickness of the conductive layer. The thickness of the negative electrode sheet is well known in the art and can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, the thickness of the negative electrode sheet can be measured using a micrometer.
[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is positively correlated with the tortuosity of the negative electrode active material layer.
[0083] The bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is positively correlated with the tortuosity of the negative electrode active material layer. This means that the greater the tortuosity of the negative electrode active material layer, the greater the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector. Therefore, by controlling the tortuosity of the negative electrode active material layer, the effect of the lithium acrylate polymer on the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector can be reduced, making the negative electrode active material layer less likely to fall off. This strong bonding between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector allows batteries containing the negative electrode sheet to exhibit excellent cycling performance and fast-charging performance.
[0084] Tortuosity is the degree of tortuosity. The electrolyte does not flow in a straight line in the negative electrode active material layer, but flows forward in a tortuous manner. Tortuosity reflects the degree of tortuosity. The tortuosity is equal to the ratio of the actual length of the electrolyte in the pore to the apparent length (macroscopic distance, i.e., the thickness of the negative electrode active material layer) passing through the negative electrode active material layer, that is, the actual length of the trajectory of the electrolyte particle in the pore when it passes through a unit distance of the negative electrode active material layer.
[0085] The tortuosity of the negative electrode active material layer is well known in the art and can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be obtained by the following method:
[0086] 1. Two identical pole pieces and diaphragms are assembled into a symmetrical battery;
[0087] 2. Inject electrolyte and then soak;
[0088] 3. Perform electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to obtain the electrode ion impedance Rion and calculate the lithium battery electrode tortuosity ε.
[0089] 4. The thickness of the electrode is L, the porosity is τ, and the area is A; the conductivity of the electrolyte is σ;
[0090] The thickness L of the electrode is measured using a micrometer. 10 points are taken in the horizontal and vertical directions of the electrode, and the average value is taken as the electrode thickness.
[0091] The porosity τ can be determined by referring to the national standard GB / T24586-2009 "Determination of apparent density, true density and porosity of iron ore". The specific test method is as follows: the electrode is immersed in ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) for cleaning; based on the gas displacement method, the negative electrode is placed in a true density tester, the test system is sealed, helium is introduced according to the program, and the pressure of the gas in the sample chamber and expansion chamber is detected. Among them, the percentage of the pore volume in the electrode to the total volume of the electrode is the electrode porosity, which is calculated as: Porosity = (V-V0) / V×100%, where V0 is the true volume and V is the apparent volume.
[0092] The conductivity σ of the electrolyte can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, the industry standard HG / T4067-2015, "Lithium Hexafluorophosphate Electrolyte," can be used. The density meter's measurement temperature can be set to 20°C, and the sample can be injected into the instrument's measuring cell to perform the measurement and read the data.
[0093] 5. The formula for calculating tortuosity is: ε = (Rion·A·τ·σ) / L.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the bonding strength between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is negatively correlated with the porosity of the negative electrode active material layer. Thus, by controlling the porosity of the negative electrode active material layer, the effect of the lithium acrylate polymer on the bonding strength between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector can be reduced, making the negative electrode active material layer less likely to fall off. The bonding strength between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong, and batteries containing the negative electrode sheet exhibit excellent cycling performance and fast-charging performance.
[0095] The porosity of the negative electrode active material layer refers to the percentage of the pore volume in the negative electrode active material layer to the total volume of the negative electrode active material layer. The porosity of the negative electrode active material layer is well known in the art and can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be obtained by the following method:

[0105] In some embodiments of the present application, the surface density of the conductive layer is 0.05g / 1540.25mm 2 -0.4g / 1540.25mm 2 For example, the surface density Q of the conductive layer can be 0.05g / 1540.25mm 2 -0.35g / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.1g / 1540.25mm 2 -0.3g / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.15g / 1540.25mm 2 -0.25g / 1540.25mm 2 , 0.15g / 1540.25mm 2 -0.2g / 1540.25mm 2 Specifically, the surface density of the conductive layer is 0.05g / 1540.25mm 2 -0.4g / 1540.25mm 2 In some other embodiments of the present invention, the surface density of the conductive layer is 0.1 g / 1540.25 mm 2 -0.2g / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the porosity of the negative electrode active material layer is 20%-40%. For example, the porosity τ of the negative electrode active material layer can be 20%-39%, 22%-37%, 25%-35%, 27%-34%, 30%-32%, etc. Specifically, when the porosity of the negative electrode active material layer is within the above range, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong, and the battery containing the negative electrode sheet has excellent cycle performance and fast charging performance. In other embodiments of the present application, the porosity of the negative electrode active material layer is 25%-35%.
[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the negative electrode plate is 0.1mm-0.3mm. For example, the thickness D of the negative electrode plate can be 0.1mm-0.29mm, 0.12mm-0.27mm, 0.15mm-0.25mm, 0.17mm-0.23mm, etc. Specifically, when the thickness of the negative electrode plate is within the range of 0.1mm-0.3mm, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong, and the battery containing the negative electrode plate has excellent cycle performance and fast charging performance. In other embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the negative electrode plate is 0.1mm-0.15mm.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, the lithium acrylate polymer includes at least one of lithium polyacrylate, lithium polymethacrylate, lithium polyethylacrylate, or lithium polypropylacrylate. Specifically, the conductive layer comprising the aforementioned lithium acrylate polymer can enhance the negative electrode's liquid absorption capacity and lithium ion conductivity, improving the battery's fast charging capability and cycling performance, while also providing strong adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector.
[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass fraction of lithium is 3%-8.9% based on the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer. For example, the mass fraction of lithium can be 3%-8.9%, 3.5%-8.5%, 4%-7%, 4%-6%, etc. Based on the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer, the mass fraction of lithium = the mass of lithium / the mass of the lithium acrylate polymer. Within the above range, a portion of the lithium acrylate polymer penetrates into the pores of the negative electrode active material layer, which can improve the liquid absorption capacity of the negative electrode sheet and significantly improve the lithium ion conductivity. This can improve the electronic conductivity of the negative electrode sheet, reduce internal resistance, and increase the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions in the electrode material, thereby improving the fast charging capability and cycle performance of the battery. In addition, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong. In other embodiments of the present application, the mass fraction of lithium is 5%-7.5% based on the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer.
[0112] Specifically, “the mass fraction of lithium based on the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer” can be determined by the following method:
[0113] A lithium acrylate polymer sample of a certain mass M is measured using inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP) to determine the mass m1 of lithium in the polymer lithium salt. The average mass percentage of lithium in the polymer lithium salt is m1 / M × 100%. The sample to be tested is prepared as follows: 0.2 g of sample is weighed into a beaker, 10 mL of concentrated HNO3 solution is added, and the sample is digested on a 180°C hot plate for 30 minutes. After the sample digestion is complete, the sample is cooled to room temperature and the digested solution is transferred to a 50 mL volumetric flask via a funnel, bringing the volume to a constant level.

A calibration curve for the standard solution is created using the instrument. The sample mass and volume are then input, and the digested solution is tested. Any solution outside the curve range needs to be diluted before testing. Finally, the element content (quantitative analysis) is determined based on the intensity of the spectral lines.
[0114] In some embodiments of the present application, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the lithium acrylate polymer is 3,000-1,000,000. For example, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the lithium acrylate polymer can be 3,000-990,000, 5,000-950,000, 10,000-900,000, 50,000-800,000, 100,000-700,000, 200,000-600,000, 300,000-500,000, 400,000-500,000, etc. Within the above-mentioned number average molecular weight (Mn) range, the lithium acrylate polymer is sufficient to improve the liquid absorption capacity and lithium ion conductivity of the negative electrode sheet, thereby improving the fast charging capability and cycle performance of the battery, and has little effect on the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, thereby reducing the probability of the negative electrode active material layer falling off the current collector. In other embodiments of the present application, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the lithium acrylate polymer is 100,000-500,000.
[0115] The "number average molecular weight Mn" of the lithium acrylate polymer is well known in the art and can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, it can be obtained by the following method:

[0118] In some embodiments of the present application, the current collector may be a metal foil or a composite current collector. For example, copper foil may be used as the metal foil. The composite current collector may include a polymer base layer and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer base material. The composite current collector may be formed by forming a metal material (copper, copper alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver and silver alloy, etc.) on a polymer base material (such as a base material of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), etc.).
[0119] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode active material layer includes a negative electrode active material, and the negative electrode active material can be a negative electrode active material for batteries that is well known in the art. As an example, the negative electrode active material may include at least one of the following materials: artificial graphite, natural graphite, soft carbon, hard carbon, silicon-based materials, tin-based materials, and lithium titanate. The silicon-based material can be selected from at least one of elemental silicon, silicon oxides, silicon-carbon composites, silicon-nitrogen composites, and silicon alloys. The tin-based material can be selected from at least one of elemental tin, tin oxides, and tin alloys. However, the present application is not limited to these materials, and other traditional materials that can be used as negative electrode active materials for batteries can also be used. These negative electrode active materials can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode active material comprises at least one of elemental lithium or a lithium alloy, wherein the lithium alloy comprises at least one of tin, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, silver, gold, gallium, indium, platinum, boron, carbon, and silicon. A lithium alloy refers to an alloy of lithium with other metals and / or non-metals, wherein the other metals and / or non-metals comprise at least one of tin, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, silver, gold, gallium, indium, platinum, boron, carbon, and silicon. Lithium's low operating voltage and high specific capacity significantly increase the battery's energy density.
[0121] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode active material layer may further include a binder. The binder may be selected from at least one of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), polyacrylic acid (PAA), sodium polyacrylate (PAAS), polyacrylamide (PAM), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS).
[0122] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode active material layer may further include a conductive agent, which may include at least one of superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, Ketjen black, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carbon nanofibers.
[0123] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode active material layer may optionally further include other additives, such as a thickener (eg, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na)).
[0124] A second aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing a negative electrode sheet, comprising:
[0125] S100, forming a negative electrode active material layer on at least one side of the current collector
[0126] S200, forming a conductive layer on a side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector, wherein the conductive layer includes a lithium acrylic acid polymer;
[0127] The bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is negatively correlated with the surface density of the conductive layer.
[0128] Thus, in the negative electrode sheet prepared using the above method, the lithium acrylate polymer is positioned on the side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector. On the one hand, small molecules in the electrolyte can complex with the carboxylate groups in the lithium acrylate polymer, which can improve the negative electrode sheet's liquid absorption capacity and lithium ion conductivity. During lithium ion charging and discharging, the concentration polarization of the negative electrode is reduced, which can improve the battery's fast charging capability and cycle performance. On the other hand, the lithium acrylate polymer has a low contact probability with the current collector, which can reduce the lithium acrylate polymer's effect on the adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, making the negative electrode active material layer less likely to fall off. The strong adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector makes it less likely to fall off, and the secondary battery containing the lithium acrylate polymer has excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0129] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode active material layer can be prepared by the following method: the components for preparing the negative electrode plate, such as the negative electrode active material, the conductive agent, the binder and any other components, are dispersed in a solvent (such as deionized water) to form a negative electrode slurry; the negative electrode slurry is coated on the negative electrode current collector, and after drying, cold pressing and other processes, the negative electrode active material layer can be obtained.
[0130] In some embodiments of the present application, a lithium acrylate polymer is sprayed onto the side of the negative electrode active material layer facing away from the current collector to form a conductive layer. At least a portion of the lithium acrylate polymer is embedded within the pores of the negative electrode active material layer. This ensures strong adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, making it less likely to fall off. Furthermore, the lithium acrylate polymer maintains sufficient contact with the negative electrode active material, resulting in a secondary battery containing the polymer exhibiting excellent cycle life and fast-charging performance.
[0131] The spray method involves spraying a slurry containing a lithium acrylate polymer onto the side of the negative electrode active material layer facing away from the current collector. The slurry forms mist-like droplets that adhere to the side of the negative electrode active material layer facing away from the current collector and enter the pores. After drying, they form a conductive layer. The conductive layer produced by this method is highly uniform and resists shedding from the negative electrode active material layer.
[0132] In some embodiments of the present application, a spray box is used, and the liquid inside the spray box is a slurry of a lithium acrylic polymer. The current collector containing the negative electrode active material layer passes through the spray box and is dried to complete the preparation of the conductive layer.
[0133] In some embodiments of the present application, the spray pressure is 0.1kPa-100kPa, and the spray pressure is the atomization pressure inside the spray box. For example, the spray pressure can be 0.1kPa-99kPa, 0.5kPa-98kPa, 1kPa-95kPa, 10kPa-90kPa, 20kPa-80kPa, 30kPa-70kPa, 40kPa-60kPa, 50kPa-60kPa, etc. Within the above spray pressure range, a uniform conductive layer can be formed, and the conductive layer is not easy to fall off from the negative electrode active material layer. The bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong and not easy to fall off, and the acrylic acid lithium polymer can fully contact the negative electrode active material, and the secondary battery containing it has excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0134] In some embodiments of the present application, the spray temperature is 70°C-150°C. The spray temperature is the temperature inside the atomization box. For example, the spray temperature can be 70°C-149°C, 80°C-140°C, 90°C-130°C, 100°C-120°C, etc. Thus, within the above-mentioned spray temperature range, a uniform conductive layer can be formed, the conductive layer is not easy to fall off from the negative electrode active material layer, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong and not easy to fall off, and the lithium acrylate polymer can fully contact the negative electrode active material. The secondary battery containing the polymer has excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0135] In some embodiments of the present application, when the current collector containing the negative electrode active material layer passes through the spray box, the speed of the current collector containing the negative electrode active material layer is 0.1m / s-10m / s. For example, the speed of the current collector containing the negative electrode active material layer can be 0.1m / s-9.9m / s, 0.5m / s-9.5m / s, 1m / s-9m / s, 2m / s-8m / s, 3m / s-7m / s, 4m / s-6m / s, etc., which can form a uniform conductive layer that is not easily detached from the negative electrode active material layer. In other embodiments of the present application, the speed of the current collector containing the negative electrode active material layer is 2m / s-5m / s.
[0136] In some embodiments of the present application, a current collector containing a negative electrode active material layer is immersed in a lithium acrylate polymer solution to form a conductive layer on the side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector, and at least a portion of the lithium acrylate polymer is embedded in the pores of the negative electrode active material layer. The conductive layer prepared by this method has good uniformity and is not easily detached from the negative electrode active material layer. The negative electrode active material layer and the current collector have strong adhesion and are not easily detached. The lithium acrylate polymer is in full contact with the negative electrode active material, and secondary batteries containing this conductive layer have excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.
[0137] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature of the slurry of the lithium acrylate polymer is 50°C-80°C. For example, the temperature of the slurry of the lithium acrylate polymer can be 50°C-79°C, 55°C-75°C, 60°C-70°C, etc.
[0138] In some embodiments of the present application, a current collector containing a negative electrode active material layer is passed through an immersion solution containing a lithium acrylate polymer at a speed of 1 m / min-50 m / min. For example, the speed at which the current collector containing a negative electrode active material layer passes through the immersion solution containing a lithium acrylate polymer can be 1 m / min-49 m / min, 5 m / min-45 m / min, 10 m / min-40 m / min, 20 m / min-30 m / min, etc., to form a uniform conductive layer that is not easily detached from the negative electrode active material layer. In other embodiments of the present application, a current collector containing a negative electrode active material layer is passed through an immersion solution containing a lithium acrylate polymer at a speed of 8 m / min-15 m / min.
[0139] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer solution, the mass proportion of the lithium acrylate polymer is 0.5%-50%. For example, the mass proportion of the lithium acrylate polymer can be 0.5%-49%, 1%-45%, 5%-40%, 10%-30%, 15%-25%, etc. As a result, the bonding force between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector is strong and not easy to fall off, and the lithium acrylate polymer can fully contact with the negative electrode active material, and the secondary battery containing it has excellent cycle life and fast charging performance. In other embodiments of the present application, based on the total mass of the lithium acrylate polymer solution, the mass proportion of the lithium acrylate polymer is 10%-20%.
[0140] In other embodiments of the present application, the conductive layer may be prepared by a dry process. Specifically, the lithium acrylate polymer powder is mixed with a conductive agent, etc., and then directly pressed onto the current collector by a dry process in a dry state.
[0141] A third aspect of the present application provides a battery comprising the negative electrode sheet described in the first aspect of the present application or the negative electrode sheet prepared by the method described in the second aspect. As a result, the negative electrode active material layer has a strong bond with the current collector, is not easily detached, and the battery has excellent cycle life and fast charging performance.

[0144] Typically, a battery cell consists of a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, a separator, and an electrolyte. During the battery's charge and discharge process, active metal ions (lithium ions) are inserted and removed between the positive and negative electrode sheets. The separator is placed between the positive and negative electrode sheets to isolate them. The electrolyte conducts the active metal ions between the positive and negative electrode sheets.

[0198] Table 1
[0199] In Table 1, “ / ” indicates that no addition was made.
[0200] Parameter test:
[0201] 1. Reliable penetration:
[0202] Through in-situ Raman spectroscopy online testing, the main functional group -COO of lithium polyacrylate was identified in the thickness direction of the electrode, and the characteristic peak was 1460 -1 -1300cm -1 The corresponding thickness / negative electrode thickness is the permeability. When the permeability distribution number reaches 90%, the corresponding permeability is the reliable permeability.
[0203] 2. Negative electrode thickness
[0204] Use a micrometer to measure the thickness. Use the micrometer to take 10 points in the horizontal and vertical directions of the electrode, and take the average value as the electrode thickness.
[0205] 3. Adhesion between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector:
[0206] Refer to GB / T 2792-2014, "Test Method for Peel Strength of Adhesive Tapes." Specifically, take a 15-20 cm electrode sheet coated on both sides with negative electrode material; attach the electrode sheet to a steel plate with 3M double-sided tape. Test the electrode sheet using an INSTRON 3365 material testing machine to determine the relationship between force and distance; and calculate the electrode sheet adhesion value.
[0207] 4. Surface density of conductive layer:
[0208] Step 1: Punch the current collector containing the negative electrode active material layer into a piece with an area of 1540.25 mm 2 The small disc is weighed and its mass is g1;
[0209] Step 2: After the conductive layer is applied on both sides, the pole piece is punched into an area of 1540.25mm 2 The small disc is weighed and its mass is g2;
[0210] Surface density = (g2-g1) / 1540.25, unit: g / 1540.25mm 2 .
[0211] 5. Tortuosity:
[0212] 1) Two identical pole pieces and diaphragms are assembled into a symmetrical battery.
[0213] 2) Inject electrolyte and soak,
[0214] 3) Perform electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to obtain the electrode ionic impedance Rion and calculate the lithium battery electrode tortuosity ε.
[0215] 4) The thickness of the electrode is L, the porosity is τ, and the area is A; the conductivity of the electrolyte is σ;
[0216] The thickness L of the electrode is measured using a micrometer. 10 points are taken in the horizontal and vertical directions of the electrode, and the average value is taken as the electrode thickness.
[0217] The porosity τ can be determined by referring to the national standard GB / T24586-2009 "Determination of apparent density, true density and porosity of iron ore". The specific test method is as follows: the electrode is immersed in ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) for cleaning; based on the gas displacement method, the negative electrode is placed in a true density tester, the test system is sealed, helium is introduced according to the program, and the pressure of the gas in the sample chamber and expansion chamber is detected. Among them, the percentage of the pore volume in the electrode to the total volume of the electrode is the electrode porosity, which is calculated as: Porosity = (V-V0) / V×100%, where V0 is the true volume and V is the apparent volume.
[0218] The conductivity σ of the electrolyte can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, the industry standard HG / T4067-2015, "Lithium Hexafluorophosphate Electrolyte," can be used. The density meter's measurement temperature can be set to 20°C, and the sample can be injected into the instrument's measuring cell to perform the measurement and read the data.
[0219] 5) The tortuosity is calculated using the formula: ε = (Rion·A·τ·σ) / L.
[0220] 6. Porosity of the negative electrode active material layer:

Place them into the sample cup. Record the number of pieces and calculate the apparent volume V2. Apparent volume V2 = S × H × A, where
[0222] S-area, cm 2 ;
[0223] H-thickness, cm;
[0224] A-sample number, EA;
[0225] 2) Place the sample cup containing the sample in the true density tester, close the test system, introduce helium according to the procedure, and detect the pressure of the gas in the sample chamber and expansion chamber;
[0226] 3) Calculate the true volume V1 according to Bohr's law (PV = nRT), and then obtain the porosity of the sample to be tested according to the following formula:
[0227] Porosity = (V2 - V1) / V2 x 100%.
[0228] 7. Based on the total mass of lithium acrylate polymer, the mass fraction of lithium is:
[0229] A lithium acrylate polymer sample of a given mass, M, was measured using inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP) to determine the mass, m1, of lithium in the polymer lithium salt. The average mass percentage of lithium in the polymer lithium salt is m1 / M × 100%. The sample to be tested was prepared as follows: 0.2 g of sample was weighed into a beaker, 10 mL of concentrated HNO3 solution was added, and the sample was digested on a 180°C hot plate for 30 minutes. After the sample digested for 30 minutes, it was cooled to room temperature and the digested solution was transferred to a 50 mL volumetric flask via a funnel, bringing the volume to standard. Testing was performed according to USEPA-6010D-2018. A standard test solution was prepared: a multi-element standard solution from the National Nonferrous Metals Testing Center for ICP analysis, with concentrations at 0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg / L. A calibration curve for the standard solution was created using the instrument. The sample mass and volume were then input, and the digested solution was tested. Any solution outside the curve range needed to be diluted before testing. Finally, the element content was determined based on the intensity of the spectral lines.

[0231] Gel permeation chromatography was used in accordance with the national standard GB / T21863-2008 “Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using tetrahydrofuran as eluent”.
[0232] For details, please refer to the following test steps: Use ultra-high performance polymer chromatograph: ACQUITY APC; detector: ACQUITY differential refractive index detector. The test steps are as follows: (1) Start preheating: Install the chromatographic column and pipeline, turn on the console in sequence, test the power supply, etc., and open the test software Empower; (2) Parameter setting, injection volume: 0μL to 50μL (depending on the sample concentration); pump flow rate: 0.2mL / min; mobile phase: 30mol / LLiBr in NMP solution; seal cleaning liquid: isopropanol; pre-column: PLgel10umMiniMIX-BGuard (size: 50mm×4.6mm×2); analytical phase: PLgel10umMiniMIX-B (size: 250mm×4.6mm); standard: polystyrene sleeve; run time: 30min; detector: ACQUITY differential refractive index (RI) detector; column oven temperature: 90℃; detector temperature: 55℃.

[0233] Performance testing:
[0234] 1. Battery cycle capacity retention rate test:
[0235] Taking Example 1 as an example, the ambient temperature of the secondary battery cycle is set to 25°C, and the charge and discharge cycle is performed using a rate of 0.5C (i.e., 70mA). The cut-off voltages for charge and discharge are set to 3.8V and 2.0V, respectively. After 1500 charge and discharge cycles, the discharge capacity at the 1500th cycle is recorded as the capacity of the battery after 1500 cycles. The ratio of the capacity of the battery after 1500 cycles to the initial capacity of the battery (the discharge capacity at the first cycle) is the cycle capacity retention rate. The cycle capacity retention rate test results of Examples 1-51 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 2.
[0236] 2. Battery charging time test:
[0237] (1) Taking Example 1 as an example, Cu wire is used as the three electrodes and charged at a charging rate of 5C until the negative electrode potential drops to 0mV. Then, the battery is switched to low-rate charging and charged at low rates of 4C, 3C, 2C, and 1C in sequence to obtain the maximum charging capacity Map of the battery.
[0238] (2) Starting from 0% SOC, step charging is performed using the battery's maximum capacity charging map until the battery cutoff voltage reaches 3.8V. The time required to charge from 0% SOC to 3.8V is recorded as the battery charging time.
[0239] The current collector containing the negative electrode active material layer obtained in the [Negative Electrode Sheet Preparation] step of Example 1 was subjected to a cross-section scanning electron microscope, and Figure 6 was obtained. It can be seen that the current collector of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode active material layer has channels.
[0240] Table 2
[0241] As can be seen in Table 2, in Examples 1-51 of the present application, the lithium acrylate polymer is placed on the side of the negative electrode active material layer away from the current collector. This results in strong bonding between the negative electrode active material layer and the current collector, and the batteries containing the negative electrode plates exhibit excellent cycling and fast-charging performance. Comparative Example 1, in which no lithium acrylate polymer is added, and Comparative Example 2, in which the lithium acrylate polymer and negative electrode active material are uniformly mixed, exhibit inferior fast-charging and cycling performance compared to Examples 1-51.
