Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion power battery production, and particularly relates to a thick electrode structure of a lithium ion battery.
Background
With the gradual maturity of the technical development of lithium ion batteries, the national policy continuously supports and promotes the technical development of new energy industry, and the new energy automobile industry has higher and higher requirements on high energy density, high power and light weight of lithium ion batteries. At present, the method for improving the energy density of the lithium ion battery is to increase the volume of a cell structure design space from the structural design angle so as to increase the total amount of active substances; secondly, from the electrochemical design angle, the proportion of inactive material components is reduced, and the proportion of active materials in the electrode is improved; and thirdly, from the design angle of a material system, the thickness of the current collector is reduced or the proportion of the active substance to the current collector (copper and aluminum foil) is increased, namely the coating amount of the electrode is increased. However, with the increase of the thickness of the electrode, the stripping force of the pole piece is poor, the pore distribution is uneven, and meanwhile, the difficulty of the electrolyte permeating from the interface of the diaphragm and the dressing layer to the interface of the dressing layer and the current collector is increased, so that the lithium precipitation of the battery at a high-rate negative electrode is easily caused due to the fact that the electrolyte does not completely soak the electrode, and potential safety hazards are generated. In addition, the tortuosity of the pole piece is increased, the ion transmission path is lengthened, the ionic and electronic conductivity is reduced, the DCR is increased, and the multiplying power and the cycle performance are deteriorated. Therefore, how to construct a novel electrode structure of a thick electrode of a lithium ion battery is important, the DCR of the battery is reduced, the risk of lithium precipitation during charging at a high rate is reduced, and the rate and the cycle performance of the battery are improved.
The electrode structure of the existing thick electrode is mostly the electrode structure with single-component slurry, which increases the single-layer coating amount, improves the proportion of active substances of the single-component slurry, or prepares slurry with a porous channel conductive agent such as directional carbon fiber or magnetic hollow carbon fiber and the like, and constructs the single porosity and pore diameter with larger porosity and pore diameter. The electrode structures of the thick electrodes are all single in porosity and pore size, and the electrode structures with low tortuosity, high porosity and high conductivity are constructed by increasing the proportion of active substances or adding a conductive agent with porous channels, such as oriented carbon fibers or magnetic hollow carbon fibers, from the viewpoint of improving the surface density of the electrodes and from the viewpoint of preparing electrode slurry. The design of the electrode with single porosity and pore diameter structure increases the single-layer coating amount, reduces the proportion of active substances, adds the porous channel conductive agent, and has the advantages that the baking temperature of the pole piece is high along with the increase of the thickness of the electrode, the adhesive and the conductive agent float upwards along with the solvent, the stripping force of the pole piece is poor, and the distribution of the conductive agent and pores is uneven; in order to improve the energy density of the battery, the coating amount of the electrode is increased simply from the angle of improving the surface density of the electrode, the thickness of the electrode is increased, the porosity tortuosity of a pole piece is increased, and the infiltration of electrolyte of a thick electrode is more difficult.

Data helpful to understanding the present solution:
1. principle of extrusion coater:
the slurry is put into a storage tank, the screw pump enables the slurry to have certain pressure, the slurry passes through a filter and a feeding pipe to reach an intercoat valve, the slurry enters a die head through the action of the intercoat valve to be coated, or the slurry flows back to the storage tank through a reflux valve and a reflux pipe when the coating is stopped. When the coating machine is used for coating, the coating valve is opened, the reflux valve is closed, slurry with certain pressure is pushed into the die cavity from the feed inlet, and the slurry is sprayed on the metal base material through a gap of the die lip; when coating is stopped, the reflux valve is opened, the coating valve is closed, slurry stops spraying due to no feeding and no pressure in the die cavity, and the slurry flows back to the storage tank through the reflux valve; when the gap coating operation is carried out, the two actions are repeated, and the opening and closing time of the coating valve and the return valve determines the size of the coating area and the size of the blank area of the pole piece.
2. The electrochemical reaction process of the electrode:
electron flow: the electron conduction of the current collector and the coating interface is larger than the interface contact resistance;
electron transport in solid phase such as active material and conductive agent ═ conductivity
Lithium ion current: lithium ions in the electrolyte in the pores of the coating diffuse, migrate and the like;
diffusion of lithium ions in solid phase: SEI film, inside of active material particle
Interfacial charge exchange: the charge exchange at the interface of the electrolyte/electrode, the electron gain and loss, the lithium removal/insertion of the active substance, and the electrochemical reaction
3. Porosity of the pole piece coating:
porosity is the volume fraction of pores in the electrode coating, and is a relatively macroscopic concept, which can be calculated by the compacted density of the coating, the mass percentages of the components of the coating and the true density of the components of the coating. The porosity is mainly controlled by the rolling process, and the pores are filled with electrolyte and conduct lithium ions.
4. Pore tortuosity of the pole piece coating:
tortuosity: the difference in particle shape, which results in stacked pores, is mostly not straight-through pores, tortuosity is a weight-playing parameter describing the morphology of pores in porous media, physically defined as the ratio of the actual path length of a substance through the porous media to the media distance (thickness). The tortuosity of the pole piece is related to the porosity, the pore diameter and the distribution thereof, and the connectivity of the pores.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
