[embodiment]
For make above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be more obviously understandable, does detailed explanation below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing specific embodiments of the invention.A lot of details have been set forth in the following description so that make much of the present invention.But the present invention can implement much to be different from alternate manner described here, and those skilled in the art can do similar improvement under the situation of intension of the present invention, so the present invention does not receive the restriction of following disclosed practical implementation.
The preparation method of the pulp of lithium ion battery of one execution mode comprises the steps.
Step S101, to use bonding agent to prepare concentration be 3%~7% glue.
Can bonding agent be dissolved in the solvent, the formation mass concentration is 3%~7% glue.Wherein, binding agent is preferably a kind of or its mixture in butadiene-styrene rubber (SBR), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), Kynoar (PVDF), polyacrylate, the polyurethane.Solvent can be common solvent, is preferably water or N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP).The concentration of above-mentioned glue can not be De Taigao, and preferably in 3%~7% scope, the glue of this concentration is easy to prepare, and can in follow-up adding powder, can reduce the formation of micelle.
Step S102, with active material and conductive agent in three arm planetary mixers, under low speed, be uniformly mixed to form powder.
Said active material comprises anode active material and cathode active material.Anode active material comprises LiCoO
2, LiMn
2O
4, LiNiO
2, lithium-nickel-cobalt-oxygen, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxygen, lithium nickel cobalt alumina and LiFePO
4In at least a.Cathode active material comprises at least a in graphite, lithium titanate, hard carbon, silicon and the silicon alloy.
Conductive agent comprises a kind of and composition thereof in carbon black, carbon fiber, CNT and the graphite.
The additional proportion of active material and conductive agent can be confirmed through conventional method, not limit at this.
The viscoid that three arm planetary mixers blend together solid (powder body) and liquid, particularly to the stirring of plastic flow kinetoplast material, mixing has premium properties, the most variety production of suitable vertical kneading.Through heating, vacuum decompression can make water-soluble type and solvent-borne type material increase gloss and convergence powdery.The mixing part is made up of three frame type paddles, through special planetary motion, plays powerful mixing, stirring action.
Three arm planetary mixers generally have two kinds of operating states of low speed and high speed when using.Wherein low speed is 5~8rpm; Be 22~24rpm at a high speed.The time of mixing among the step S102 is preferably 10~30 minutes.
Add in step S103, the powder in step S102 solvent total amount 1%~15%, under low speed, be uniformly mixed to form wet powder, wherein, the total amount of solvent and the mass ratio of said powder are 55: 4~50: 50.
Solvent can be common solvent, is preferably water or N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP).
Mixed powder can make that powder surface is wetting after adding little solvent, the moistened surface powder, and surface tension is improved, and has reduced the possibility of particle agglomeration.
20%~50% and the remaining solvent that add glue in step S104, the wet powder in step S103 evenly mix under at a high speed.
Said process is called as dilution for the first time.The viscosity that quantity of solvent that dilution for the first time adds and glue amount will guarantee slurry can not be too high, and the slurry of formation is shear shinning shape fluid, can not is to shear retrogradation shape fluid.So when remaining solvent was added, the amount of regulating the adding glue was between the 20%-50% of total amount.The addition of above-mentioned glue is to confirm according to final solid content and the powder surface character that forms of slurry.
Preferably, in the process of dilution for the first time, the temperature that keeps slurry to help the dispersion and the disintegration of the micelle in the slurries, makes slurry more even at 40~70 ℃.The thermostatted water that for example can in the chuck of the agitator of three arm planetary mixers, feed 40~70 ℃ drives trip temperature control into.
Step S105, add remaining glue, under low speed, evenly stirred 5~10 minutes earlier, then at stirring 2~5 hours down at a high speed, formation pulp of lithium ion battery.
Said process is called as dilution for the second time.Dilution for the second time is will add all residue glues to carry out the stirring of maximum speed, and powder and glue are farthest disperseed, and forms final pulp of lithium ion battery.
Preferably, in the process of dilution for the second time, the temperature that keeps slurry is at 40~70 ℃.Effect and control method are as previously mentioned.
Said method is taked unique mixing method; Can be implemented in the equipment and can accomplish whole batch mixing process, the pulp of lithium ion battery of preparation has good uniformity, and; Since better controlled reunion and the size of agglomerated particle of particle; The structure that is difficult to disperse of effectively having avoided conductive agent and rubber powder to form makes that the cell size granularity of preparation is little, good stability, viscosity change for a short time, places not sedimentation for a long time.
Above-mentioned pulp of lithium ion battery can be used for the manufacture batteries pole piece.A kind of preparation method of lithium ion battery comprises above-mentioned pulp of lithium ion battery is coated on the collector, processes the battery positive and negative plate.The electricity core comprises positive plate, negative plate, diaphragm paper, wherein, is provided with diaphragm paper between positive plate and the negative plate, and electric core is put into battery case, injects electrolyte, seals.
Above-mentioned lithium ion battery has following beneficial effect: improved the volume density of the positive and negative plate of battery, improved the uniformity of distribution of particles in the slurry, and then improved capacity and cycle performance, the security performance of lithium ion battery.
