With the development of secondary batteries, it is desirable that the secondary batteries have lower manufacturing costs and higher productivity while having good electrochemical performance. From the viewpoint of manufacturing the secondary battery, each step has an important influence on the manufacturing cost and productivity of the secondary battery.
The inventor finds that in the existing manufacturing process of the positive electrode plate, serious raw material loss exists, and the production efficiency is low. In particular, the inventors found that, in the industrial production of secondary batteries, after the preparation of the positive electrode slurry is completed, it is generally required to be left for a while and then sent through a conveying pipe for coating to form a positive electrode film layer. Because the particle size of the positive electrode material is smaller, a large amount of nanometer micro powder exists in the prepared positive electrode slurry, and the nanometer micro powder is easy to agglomerate to generate gel.
At present, in order to alleviate the gelation phenomenon of the positive electrode slurry, the positive electrode slurry is usually placed in a stirring tank for continuous slow stirring, and after the gelation phenomenon occurs, a solvent is added for back stirring and viscosity adjustment. However, the positive electrode slurry cannot be stirred back in the transfer pipe, and a gel phenomenon is likely to occur in the transfer pipe. In addition, the back-stirring and viscosity-adjusting increase the amount of the solvent, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost of the secondary battery.
In view of this, the inventors have intensively studied to provide a positive electrode composition, a positive electrode slurry, a positive electrode sheet, a secondary battery, a battery module, a battery pack, and an electric device.
Positive electrode composition
The first aspect of the present application provides a positive electrode composition, which can be used for a lithium battery. The positive electrode composition includes a positive electrode active material and an anti-coagulant. Wherein the positive electrode active material comprises lithium-containing phosphate, and the anti-agglomerating agent comprises a polymer containing a phosphorous acid group and an ether bond in a molecular chain.
In the molecular chain of the anti-agglomerating agent, one or more phosphorous acid groups can be adopted, and the phosphorous acid groups can be end groups or groups in branched chains; the ether bond may be one or more, and the ether bond may be located at the chain end, in a segment of the main chain, or in a branch chain. Alternatively, the ether linkage may be contained in a repeating unit of the molecular chain.
Although the mechanism is not yet clear, the inventors have unexpectedly found that: the positive electrode composition provided by the application comprises lithium-containing phosphate and the anti-agglomerating agent, and can be applied to positive electrode slurry to effectively prevent the positive electrode slurry from generating gel phenomenon in a standing process and a conveying pipeline.
In particular, without intending to be limited by any theory or explanation, the inventors found that in the anti-agglomerating agent of the present application, the phosphorous acid groups may interact with the phosphate groups in the lithium-containing phosphate through hydrogen bonding, thereby "anchoring" the lithium-containing phosphate to the molecular chain of the anti-agglomerating agent. Other parts of the molecular chain of the anti-agglomerating agent, especially ether bonds, can generate strong charge action with other molecular chains, so that the molecular chains of the anti-agglomerating agent are mutually repelled, and the molecular chains of the anti-agglomerating agent connected with lithium-containing phosphate can be mutually independent and stably dispersed in a solvent of the positive electrode slurry, thereby playing a role in preventing the gel phenomenon of the positive electrode slurry. In some embodiments, the positive electrode composition of the present application is applied to a positive electrode slurry, and the resulting positive electrode slurry does not generate a gel phenomenon even when left to stand for 48 hours. In addition, the anti-agglomerating agent is applied to the positive electrode slurry, the electrochemical performance of the prepared secondary battery is hardly affected, and the secondary battery can keep good electrochemical performance.
The positive electrode composition provided by the application comprises lithium-containing phosphate and an anti-agglomerating agent, is applied to positive electrode slurry of a secondary battery, and can effectively reduce agglomeration of positive electrode active materials and relieve gel phenomenon of the positive electrode slurry, so that the consumption of solvents and back stirring procedures can be reduced, and the solid content of the positive electrode slurry can be improved. Thus, the positive electrode composition of the present application is applied to a secondary battery, and can reduce the manufacturing cost of the secondary battery, improve the productivity of the secondary battery, and maintain good electrochemical performance of the secondary battery.
In some embodiments, the lithium-containing phosphate may include lithium iron phosphate. Alternatively, particle size D of lithium iron phosphate 10 Can be 100nm to 800nm,100nm to 700nm,100nm to 600nm, 100nm to 500nm,100nm to 400nm,100nm to 300nm,100nm to 200nm, 200nm to 800nm,200nm to 700nm,200nm to 600nm,200nm to 500nm,200nm to 400nm,200nm to 300nm,300nm to 800nm,300nm to 600nm,300nm to 500nm,300nm to 400nm,400nm to 800nm, 400nm to 700nm,400nm to 600nm,400nm to 500nm,500nm to 800nm, 500nm to 700nm, 600nm to 800nm, or 700nm to 800nm. More optionally, the particle diameter D of the lithium iron phosphate 10 Can be 200nm to 300nm, D 50 Can be 400nm to 600nm,450nm to 600nm,500nm to 600nm, 400nm to 550nm,450nm to 550nm,500nm to 550nm,400nm to 500nm, 450nm to 500nm and 400nm to 450nm.
In the application, the particle diameter D of the lithium iron phosphate 10 And D 50 Has a meaning known in the art, wherein D 10 It may be referred to a particle size having a cumulative particle distribution of 10%, i.e., a particle volume content of less than this particle size value is 10% of the total particles. D (D) 50 May refer to a particle size with a cumulative distribution of 50% of the particles. D (D) 10 And D 50 The determination may be performed using methods and instruments known in the art. For example, reference may be made to GB/T19077-2016 particle size distribution laser diffraction, using a laser particle size analyzer (e.g.Mastersizer 2000E, UK).
The lithium iron phosphate serving as the positive electrode active material is applied to the secondary battery, so that the secondary battery has good low-temperature power performance, good dynamic performance and good fast charge and fast discharge performance. Without intending to be limited by any theory or explanation, the inventors found that the particle size of the lithium iron phosphate is within the above-described small range, and the improvement in the performance of the secondary battery is more remarkable. However, as the particle size of the lithium iron phosphate decreases, the probability of agglomeration of the lithium iron phosphate particles in the positive electrode slurry increases. The inclusion of the anti-agglomerating agent in the positive electrode composition of the present application is applied to the positive electrode slurry, and even if the particle size of the lithium iron phosphate is within the above-described small range, the risk of the positive electrode slurry developing a gel phenomenon can be effectively reduced. Therefore, the positive electrode composition is applied to the secondary battery, so that the secondary battery has good low-temperature power performance, good dynamic performance and good quick charge and quick discharge performance, the manufacturing cost of the secondary battery can be reduced, and the productivity of the secondary battery can be improved.
In some embodiments, the number average molecular weight of the anti-agglomerating agent may be 1000 to 10000, 2000 to 9000, 3000 to 8000, 4000 to 7000, 5000 to 6000.
Without intending to be limited by any theory or explanation, the inventors found that the number average molecular weight of the anti-coagulant is within the above-described suitable range, not only facilitating the formation of hydrogen bonds between the phosphorous acid groups in the anti-coagulant and the lithium-containing phosphate, but also facilitating the mutual dispersion of the molecular chains of the anti-coagulant. Therefore, the molecular chains of the anti-agglomerating agent connected with the lithium-containing phosphate can be ensured to be mutually independent and stably dispersed in the solvent of the positive electrode slurry, so that the gel phenomenon of the positive electrode slurry is prevented, the manufacturing cost of the secondary battery is further reduced, and the productivity of the secondary battery is improved.

The compound represented by formula 1 can be obtained in various ways. In some embodiments, the compound of formula 1 may be self-prepared. Specifically, the compound represented by formula 1 can be prepared by the following steps:
S1, polymerizing a micromolecular alcohol substance and an alkylene oxide substance under a reaction condition to obtain a polymer containing ether bonds in a repeating unit, wherein the alkylene oxide substance comprises ethylene oxide optionally;
s2, reacting the polymer containing ether bonds in the repeating units with an amine polymer to obtain an amine polymer containing ether bonds in the repeating units;
s3, mixing amine polymers containing ether bonds in the repeating units with phosphorous acid to react under the reaction condition to obtain the compound shown in the formula 1.
It will be readily appreciated that the above procedure is provided as an example of the preparation of the compounds of formula 1, and is merely to illustrate the application and not to limit it.
Without intending to be limited by any theory or explanation, the inventors found that in the compounds of formula 1, the phosphorous acid group is located at a terminal group, facilitating hydrogen bonding with lithium-containing phosphates. In the compound represented by formula 1, the values of m and n are within the above ranges, and the volume of the molecular chains and the ratio of the ether bond to the molecular chains can be within the appropriate ranges, whereby the molecular chains of the anti-coagulant can be mutually repelled by the charge action and stably dispersed in the solvent of the positive electrode slurry. The anti-agglomerating agent of the present application includes the compound shown in formula 1, and can further reduce the risk of gel generation of the positive electrode slurry, thereby improving the productivity of the secondary battery.

In order to fully develop the low-temperature power performance of lithium-containing phosphates, the inventors have conducted intensive studies after solving the problem that the positive electrode slurry is liable to gel phenomenon when left to stand.
Without intending to be limited by any theory or explanation, the inventors surprisingly found that including carbon nanotubes in the positive electrode composition of the present application can significantly enhance the conductive properties of the positive electrode composition, thereby reducing the impedance of the positive electrode composition and thereby fully exploiting the low temperature power properties of lithium-containing phosphates. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, when the positive electrode composition including carbon nanotubes is applied to a positive electrode slurry, phosphorous acid groups 021 in the molecular chain of the anti-agglomerating agent 02 can anchor lithium-containing phosphate molecules on the surface of the positive electrode active material 01, and adjacent positive electrode active materials 01 which are anchored are stably independent due to repulsive interaction between the molecular chains of the anti-agglomerating agent 02, and the molecular chains of the carbon nanotubes 03 and the anti-agglomerating agent 02 have certain flexibility, and when dispersed in a solvent, the carbon nanotubes 03 can be dispersed and wound on the molecular chains of the anti-agglomerating agent 02, so that the conductivity of the positive electrode composition is remarkably improved. In particular, since the single-walled carbon nanotubes have a larger aspect ratio than that of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes, they are more easily entangled in the molecular chains of the anti-agglomerating agent 02, and when the single-walled carbon nanotubes are included in the positive electrode composition, the conductivity of the positive electrode composition can be further improved. Therefore, when the positive electrode composition provided by the application comprises the carbon nano tube, the carbon nano tube is applied to the positive electrode slurry, so that the prepared secondary battery has the characteristics of high productivity and low cost, and also has excellent low-temperature power performance.
