具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、技术方案、及优点更加清楚明白,以下参照附图并举实施例,对本发明进一步详细说明。显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他技术方案,都属于本申请保护的范围。
需要说明的是,本申请的具体实施方式中,以锂离子电池作为电化学装置的例子来解释本申请,但是本申请的电化学装置并不仅限于锂离子电池。
电极极片(下文简称极片)表面的绝缘涂层通常包括绝缘物质和粘结剂,但由于绝缘涂层中的粘结剂只起到粘结绝缘物质的作用,并不能直接与隔离膜发生粘结,隔离膜与极片表面绝缘涂层的粘结只能依靠隔离膜自身的粘结剂,而极片与隔离膜之间的高粘结效果对于提高电化学装置的抗变形能力以及硬度具有直接的改善作用。基于上述问题,本申请提供一种电极极片、电化学装置和电子装置,以提高电化学装置的稳定性能和安全性能。
本申请第一方面提供了一种电极极片,包括集流体、活性材料层以及绝缘层,其中, 所述活性材料层设置于所述集流体与所述绝缘层之间;所述绝缘层包括绝缘无机物、粘结剂和高分子聚合物。其中,高分子聚合物包括高分子聚合物颗粒,在所述绝缘层表面任意45μm×27μm区域内裸露的所述高分子聚合物颗粒的数量为2个至60个。本申请发明人发现,若绝缘层单位面积上裸露的高分子聚合物颗粒过少则影响极片与隔离膜之间的粘结效果;若裸露的高分子聚合物颗粒过多则会使得极片表面绝缘层与隔离膜的粘结位点过多,在极片热压后会形成覆盖面积过大,导致覆盖处锂离子的传输通道被堵塞,从而使得锂离子传输无法进行或者阻力过大,影响电化学装置的动力学性能。因此,通过调控绝缘层单位面积上裸露的高分子聚合物颗粒的数量在上述范围内,能够提升极片与隔离膜之间的粘结效果,从而提高电化学装置的稳定性能和安全性能。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,所述高分子聚合物的颗粒粒径Dv50为1μm至20μm,所述高分子聚合物的颗粒粒径Dv50与绝缘层厚度dμm的比值为k 1=Dv50/d,满足1≤k 1≤3。通过调控k 1在上述范围内,能够显著提升极片与隔离膜之间的粘结效果,以及增强电化学装置的抗变形能力,从而有利于同时提高电化学装置的稳定性能和安全性能。本申请中,Dv50是指在体积基准的粒度分布中,从小粒径侧起、达到体积累积50%的粒径(可采用使用激光粒径测试仪测量)。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,所述高分子聚合物颗粒中包含直径D的颗粒,所述直径D与所述绝缘层厚度dμm的比值为k 2=D/d,满足1<k 2≤3。通过调控k 2在上述范围内,可以显著提升电极极片与隔离膜之间的粘结效果,增强电化学装置的抗变形能力,从而有利于提高电化学装置的稳定性能和安全性能。
可以理解的是,高分子聚合物颗粒的Dv50是一个统计值,这些高分子聚合物颗粒中,有的颗粒的直径大于Dv50,有的颗粒的直径小于Dv50。基于此,本申请的高分子聚合物颗粒中包含直径D的颗粒,该直径D的颗粒是指:高分子聚合物颗粒中1<k 2≤3的那些颗粒,其中k 2是直径D与绝缘层厚度dμm的比值。例如,当高分子聚合物颗粒的Dv50为6μm、绝缘层厚度为4μm时,高分子聚合物颗粒中直径D的颗粒可包括直径大于4μm且小于等于12μm的颗粒;当高分子聚合物颗粒的Dv50为6μm、绝缘层厚度为2μm时,高分子聚合物颗粒中直径D的颗粒可包括直径大于2μm且小于等于6μm的颗粒。
本申请发明人研究发现,在电极极片的绝缘层中添加一种或多种高分子聚合物后,由于高分子聚合物具有较大的颗粒尺寸,如图1、图2所示,高分子聚合物以单个颗粒或者团簇的高聚物形式在绝缘层的表面裸露出来。裸露在绝缘层表面的高分子聚合物颗粒会与 隔离膜表面的粘结层粒子进行粘结,这种粘结层粒子通常也为高分子聚合物,而这种隔离膜粘结剂层中的粒子可以与极片绝缘层中的高分子聚合物之间表现出很强的融合粘结作用,进而提升极片与隔离膜之间的界面粘结力。另一方面,由于高分子聚合物颗粒在绝缘层中是贯穿性存在,从而对绝缘层自身内聚力也有显著的提升。因此,如图3所示,极片绝缘层中含高分子聚合物颗粒的设计,可以显著提升绝缘层与隔离膜之间的界面粘结力以及绝缘层无机粒子自身的内聚力,提升电化学装置整体的抗变形能力,从而有利于提高电化学装置的稳定性能和安全性能。
图2在样品的扫描电子显微镜(SEM)测试中采用了氩离子切割技术,也称离子研磨截面抛光技术,针对样品表面进行抛光,去除损伤层,从而得到高质量样品。
而常规的极片由于无高分子聚合物颗粒,如图4、图5所示裸露在极片绝缘层表面,极片绝缘层表面呈现有部分气孔且略带粗糙的平整表面,无显著的突出点,仅有隔离膜表面的粘结层粒子与极片绝缘层中的无机粒子进行粘结。由于极片绝缘层中的无机粒子通常具有一定的规则形状,使得隔离膜表面的粘结层粒子与绝缘层进行粘结的效果并不好,从而使得极片与隔离膜之间的粘结效果有限。
本申请中,绝缘层中包含高分子聚合物颗粒的电极极片,在制备锂离子电池过程中的热压工序后,如图6、图7所示,在电极极片表面仍可以观察到突出点状物,表明高分子聚合物颗粒在实际锂离子电池中是可以在极片与隔离膜之间起粘结作用的。当需要调整电极极片绝缘层与隔离膜之间的粘结效果时,可以调控绝缘层单位面积上裸露的高分子聚合物颗粒的数量,从而提高电化学装置的稳定性能和安全性能,如图8、图9所示。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,在绝缘层表面上裸露的所述高分子聚合物颗粒中单个颗粒的裸露面积为20μm 2至315μm 2。当单个高分子聚合物颗粒的裸露面积过小时则会影响极片界面之间的粘结效果;若单个高分子聚合物颗粒的裸露面积过大,虽然对于极片与隔离膜之间的粘结效果有明显提升,但会使极片表面的局部位置孔隙堵塞严重,造成极片的孔隙率下降,降低电化学装置的动力学性能。因此,使单个高分子聚合物颗粒的裸露面积在上述范围内,能够提升极片界面的粘结效果,从而提高电化学装置的稳定性能和安全性能。

测试方法和设备:
高分子聚合物颗粒直径D的测试方法:
将待测目标极片使用离子束进行垂直冲击,获取新鲜截面,使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)拍摄截面的影像。测量截面绝缘层中的高分子聚合物颗粒等效最大圆的直径,高分子聚合物颗粒的直径D等于等效最大圆的直径。
绝缘层厚度d的测试方法:
将待测目标极片使用离子束进行垂直冲击,获取新鲜截面,使用SEM拍摄截面的影像。截面的长度≥1mm(例如1mm),等距离拍摄20张SEM照片,放大倍数≥1000倍(例如1000倍),在每张照片中选取平整度均匀的地方作为测量点,测量绝缘层的厚度,统计所有的测量点数据,得出中值厚度数据,则绝缘层的厚度d等于中值厚度。
绝缘层表面45μm×27μm面积内裸露的高分子聚合物颗粒的数量测试方法:
(1)从锂离子电池中取出待测目标极片,并裁切成多个4×4mm的样品(例如5个);
(2)使用SEM观察样品表面,将影像放大至能清晰观察到样品表面裸露的高分子聚合物颗粒时,视野中选取任意10个45μm×27μm的观察区域,并获取10个观察区域相应的影像,记录观察区域影像的面积及10个观察区域中高分子聚合物颗粒最大长度处于1μm至20μm之间的颗粒数量;

本测试方法中,孔隙率定义为样品的孔体积与样品总体积的比值,反映了样品中孔隙的数量多少,这对于锂离子电池中的离子传输起到关键的影响,真实体积定义为样品不含孔的体积。
锂离子电池析锂测试:
将实施例和对比例中制备的锂离子电池静置在25℃的恒温箱中,保温1h后,以1C的充电倍率恒流充电至4.45V后,在4.45V下恒压充电至0.02C后,静置3min,再以1C的放电倍率恒流放电至3V后,静置3min,然后以这样的流程循环10次,循环结束后,锂离子电池再满充至4.45V后,然后拆解锂离子电池观察其负极极片表面是否有析锂现象。

从实施例1至实施例13、对比例1可以看出,当极片表面的绝缘层加入高聚物颗粒后,能够显著增强极片与隔离膜之间的粘结强度,使极片与隔离膜之间的粘结效果得到提升,增强电化学装置的抗变形能力,从而有利于同时提高电化学装置的稳定性能和安全性能。
从实施例1至实施例3、对比例2至对比例3可以看出,当绝缘层中所添加的高聚物颗粒粒径Dv50过小时(例如对比例2),会导致极片与隔离膜之间的粘结强度下降,导致极片界面之间的粘结效果不明显,而不利于提升电化学装置的稳定性;当绝缘层中所添加的高聚物颗粒粒径Dv50过大时(例如对比例3),会导致极片的孔隙率下降,使得锂离子电池出现析锂现象,这具有一定的安全隐患,从而不利于提升电化学装置的安全性。
从实施例2、实施例4至实施例5、对比例4至对比例5可以看出,当k 1过小时,单个高聚物颗粒有较多的体积埋藏在绝缘层表面以下,从而使得电机极片与隔离膜之间的粘结强度较低,导致极片界面之间的粘结效果不明显,从而不利于提升电化学装置的稳定性;当k 1过大时,单个高聚物颗粒有较多的体积暴露在绝缘层表面以上,但由于高聚物颗粒在绝缘层表面暴露过多体积,在经过制作锂离子电池的热压过程后,会造成极片表面局部孔隙被堵塞,从而造成极片的孔隙率下降,使得锂离子电池出现析锂现象,这具有一定的安全隐患,从而不利于提升电化学装置的安全性。
从实施例5至实施例9、对比例6至对比例7可以看出,当绝缘层单位面积上裸露的高聚物颗粒数量过少时,则极片与隔离膜之间的粘结强度较低,导致极片界面之间的粘结效果不明显,从而不利于提升电化学装置的稳定性;当绝缘层单位面积上裸露的高聚物颗粒数量过多时,虽然极片与隔离膜之间的粘结强度可以得到大幅度提升,但是由于裸露在绝缘层表面的高聚物颗粒过多,则导致极片孔隙率下降、影响锂离子电池的动力学性能,从而使得锂离子电池出现析锂现象,这具有一定的安全隐患,从而不利于提升电化学装置的安全性。
从实施例3与实施例11、实施例4与实施例10可以看出,将相同设计的绝缘层涂覆在正极极片或负极极片上,对绝缘层与隔离膜之间的粘结强度并无显著影响,这是由于当绝缘层的设计使用在正极极片或者负极极片上,但并未改变隔离膜与绝缘层之间的接触面,因此极片与隔离膜之间的粘结效果仍可以由高聚物颗粒的加入而获得改善。
从实施例6与实施例12、实施例9与实施例13可以看出,当隔离膜基材与绝缘层中高聚物的材质相同时,虽然在隔离膜表面上未涂覆粘结剂层,但极片与隔离膜之间的粘结效果并没有恶化,从而可以简化隔离膜设计,其因是由于当隔离膜基材与绝缘层中高聚物 的材质相同时,利用相似相容原理,在锂离子电池制作的热压过程中,两者能够产生较好的粘结效果,从而可以改善电化学装置的稳定性。
从实施例1至实施例13可以看出,当缘层中所添加的高聚物颗粒粒径Dv50、k 1、绝缘层单位面积上裸露的高聚物颗粒数量都在本申请的范围内时,得到的电化学装置同时具有良好的稳定性和安全性。
以上所述仅为本申请的较佳实施例,并不用以限制本申请,凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所做的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请保护的范围之内。
