其中,V为三维导电网络基体的实际体积,单位为cm3;m是电极活性材料的质量,单位为g;D为电极活性材料的D50粒径,单位为μm,ρ为电极活性材料的真密度,单位为g/cm3;d为单层碳原子层厚度,d的值为0.334nm。
本申请中,首先为该三维导电网络基体的实际体积设定数学计算模型:从三维导电网络基体的功能出发,该基体为电极活性材料之间的导电网络,需要将所有的电极活性材料连接在一起,并使之定型。因此,将电极活性材料预设成直径均为D的球体,众多球体相互紧密排列,可以理解,此时将用于形成三维导电网络基体的材料填充在紧密排列的球体的缝隙之间,则三维导电网络基体材料将形成相互连接的三维导电网络(即,该三维导电网络可以理解成球体中空或其他形状中空的类棱柱相互交错连接而成)。或首先形成预设的三维网络结构,随后可将电极活性材料(预设成直径均为D的球体)填充于三维网络结构空隙中。因此,上述数学计算模型可以看成以直径为D的球体及其外接正六面体为最小体积单元的组合物。
在上述关系式中,6D2代表以电极活性材料D50粒径为直径的球体的外接正六面体(直径为D)的表面积,d×6D2则代表构成上述外接空心正六面体所用三维导电网络结构基材的最小体积(即,最小体积单元中所用三维导电网络结构基材的最小体积)。代表以电极活性材料D50粒径为直径的球体的体积,D3可以代表棱长为D的实心正六面体的体积,则可以代表棱长为D的实心正六面体中挖去一个直径为D的球体后剩下的不规则物体的体积(即,最小体积单元中所用三维导电网络结构基材的最大体积)。可见,在每个最小体积单元中,三维导电网络基体的最小单元体积Vi满足:将上述关系式同时乘以所用电极活性材料小球的总个数即可得到整个三维导电网络基体的实际体积与电极活性材料D50粒径的关系式:
当三维导电网络基体的实际体积V更接近上述关系式中限定的下限值时,能够将导电剂的用量降到最低,即,能在保证电极极片具有良好的导电通路以使电极极片的倍率性能较优、内阻较小的同时,最大限度地提高电极极片中活性材料占比。当上述V更接近上述关系式的上限值时,能够降低三维导电网络基体的制备中对参数控制要求的精准度,在提高电极极片的生产效率的同时,可提高电极极片中活性材料的占比,从而提高克容量发挥,进而有利于电池能量密度的发挥,并提高电池的容量保持率。
此外,在三维导电网络基体的实际体积满足上述关系式的情况下,还可以根据所使用的 电极活性材料的物化特性(例如,粒径、压实密度等)来设计上述三维导电网络基体的具体形状、棱柱的尺寸、棱柱的连接方式等参数,来帮助实现电极活性材料颗粒的定向堆积(即,限定活性材料颗粒的堆积方式和位置)。此外,还可以帮助设计电极极片和电芯的面密度、压实密度,以使电极极片的活性材料具有高面密度和高压实密度,从而提高克容量发挥,进而有利于电池能量密度的发挥,提高电池的容量保持率。
本申请中,上述三维导电网络基体的实际体积是指三维导电网络基体不包含其间隙体积的本征体积,三维导电网络基体的实际体积可以等于其质量与真密度之比。
本申请中,上述电极活性材料的D50粒径指的是电极活性材料的平均粒径,单位为μm,而上述D50粒径的具体定义包括以下几种情况:(1)D50粒径可以是粉末电极活性材料累计体积百分数达到50%时所对应的粒径;(2)D50粒径可以是粉末电极活性材料累计数量百分数达到50%时所对应的粒径;(3)D50粒径可以是对粉末状电极活性材料或极片进行随机取样,在扫描电镜(scanning electron microscopy,SEM)下观测其中电极活性材料颗粒的粒度情况(取样对象中的电极活性材料颗粒数目一般在500以上,最好在1000以上),测定电极活性材料颗粒的累计体积百分数达到50%时所对应的粒径或累计数量百分数达到50%时所对应的粒径。
当对极片中的电极活性材料颗粒进行随机取样测定其D50粒径时,测试方法具体包括以下步骤:a)将放电完全的电池进行拆解得到极片,然后通过氩离子切割敷料区域的任意位置,得到极片截面样品;b)将上述极片截面样品置于SEM中进行观测,根据实际需求调整电镜电压和放大倍数,以保证能够清晰地看到上述样品中的足够多的颗粒并拍照,得到SEM照片;c)可将得到的SEM照片导入灰度调试软件(例如Geodict),以对颗粒的粒径进行统计,也可直接采用人工肉眼识别统计颗粒的粒径;d)累积进行20-30次实验,每次实验中统计的颗粒数不少于500pcs,对上述结果进行统计后,得到该电极极片中的电极活性材料颗粒的粒径分布范围以及D50粒径。
本申请一些实施方式中,D在0.1μm-20μm的范围内(即,电极活性材料的D50粒径在0.1μm-20μm的范围内)。控制电极活性材料的D50粒径在上述范围内,有利于抑制电极活性材料在电池工作过程中发生副反应,也有利于保证电极极片具有较大的压实密度,进而有利于保证电池的能量密度。
本申请一些实施方式中,电极极片中,每100g电极活性材料对应的三维导电网络基体的实际体积V在0.01cm3-20cm3的范围内。对于每100g电极活性材料来说,控制对应的三维导电网络基体的实际体积V在合适范围内,也就是控制了每单位体积的三维导电网络基体上负载的电极活性材料的质量,这有利于保证电极活性材料在电极极片中的物质质量占比以及电极极片的可制备性,进而保证电池具有合适的能量密度以及较高的电池容量、较优的倍率特性以及较长的使用寿命。

本申请一些实施方式中,三维导电网络基体为具有三维网络结构的集流体。此时的三维导电网络基体可通过对集流体进行蚀刻得到。可以理解的是,此时为了便于承载电极活性材料,集流体并非在其整个厚度方向均具有三维网络结构,而是在靠近电极活性材料层的一侧具有三维网络结构。具体地,电极极片包括未蚀刻的集流体,以及对部分集流体进行蚀刻后得到的三维导电网络基体。在一些具体实施例中,集流体沿其厚度方向可以包括两部分,一部分为实心状的未蚀刻的集流体,另一部分包括集流体蚀刻后得到的三维网络结构。换句话说,该集流体包括一定厚度的实心集流体基底及具有三维网络结构的集流体(即三维导电网 络基体)。在另一些实施例中,集流体沿其厚度方向可以包括三部分,中间为实心状,两侧具有三维网络结构。具体地,电极极片包括未蚀刻的集流体,以及对部分集流体进行蚀刻后得到的两层三维导电网络基体。其中,两层三维导电网络基体分别位于未蚀刻的集流体的两侧。还可以理解的是,上述两层三维导电网络基体的形状可以相同,也可以不同。上述所有的三维导电网络基体上均负载有电极活性材料,两层三维导电网络基体上负载的电极活性材料可以相同也可以不同。

当制备三维导电网络基体时使用的原材料本身就为可导电材料(例如,导电聚合物、导电无机碳材料、金属材料)时,可直接构建得到三维导电网络基体。当然,也可以对其进行上述导电化处理,具体的导电化处理方式可根据材料的形态以及制备方法进行确定,此处不再赘述。

表1各实施例与对比例制得的电极极片的参数汇总表

对上述各实施例及对比例制得的电极极片及电池进行电化学性能测试,包括以下步骤:
(1)电极极片的纵向电阻率测试:使用纵向电阻率仪测试所得正极极片的纵向电阻率,测试压强设置为25Mpa,保压时间为30s,每组电极极片取10个点测试后取平均值。将所得数据汇总在表2中。
(2)电极极片的极限压实密度测试:不断增大辊压机压力,并使用万分尺测试电极极片的厚度,直到电极极片厚度不会再减少,得到电极极片的极限压实密度。将所得数据汇总在表3中。
(3)电池容量测试:容量测试步骤如下:环境温度25℃,以2.2Ah为1C,1)充电:1/3C恒流恒压充电至4.25V/Cell,截止电流0.05C,搁置30min;2)放电:1/3C恒流放电至2.5V/Cell,搁置30min;3)循环3次,记录第3次放电容量为电池的真实容量。(其中,因实施例8使用的正极活性材料为LFP,因此测试过程中设置上限电压为3.8V,下限电压为2.0V)。测定的结果汇总在表3中。
(4)电池循环性能测试:以2.2Ah为1C,1)充电:1/3C恒流恒压充电至4.25V/Cell,截止电流0.05C,搁置30min;2)放电:1/3C恒流放电至2.5V/Cell,搁置30min;3)循环3次,记录第3次放电容量为电池的真实容量C0;4)充电:以电池真实容量C0为1C,1C恒流恒压充电至4.25V,截止电流0.05C;5)搁置30min;6)放电:以电池真实容量C0为1C,1C恒流放电至2.5V;7)搁置30min;8)循环4)到7)共计500次。(其中,因实施例8使用的正极活性材料为LFP,因此测试过程中设置上限电压为3.8V,下限电压为2.0V)。测定的结果汇总在表3中。
表2实施例和对比例制得的电极极片的纵向电阻率和极限压实密度

表3实施例和对比例制得的电池的克容量及容量保持率

由表2中数据可知,具有三维导电网络基体的正极极片(实施例1-19)的纵向电阻率远远小于无三维导电网络基体的正极极片(对比例3)。此外,三维导电网络基体的实际体积在设计规则的限定值之内时,相应的正极极片(实施例1-19)的纵向电阻率远小于实际体积低于设计规则用量的正极极片(对比例1),而三维导电网络基体的实际体积超出设计规则用量的正极极片(对比例2)则对电阻率无明显改善,并且其势必会导致极片中正极活性材料的质量占比降低,从而影响电池性能。而从正极极片的极限压实密度数据中可以看出,具有三维导电网络基体的正极极片(实施例1-19以及对比例1-2)的极限压实密度大于不含三维导电网络基体的正极极片(对比例3),但当三维导电网络基体的实际体积超出三维网络设计规则用量时,对应的正极极片的极片压实密度会有所降低(对比例2)。
从表3中数据可以看出,具有本申请提供的三维导电网络结构的电极极片的电池,其在克容量发挥及循环后容量保持率方面有着比较均衡的表现,而当三维导电网络结构的实际体积超过本申请限定时,会导致克容量较低(电池DS2)。当三维导电网络结构的实际体积低于本申请限定时,会导致容量保持率较差(电池DS1)。当电池的正、负极极片同时为本申请限定的电极极片时(电池S20),相较于使用相同正极极片的电池S7,电池S20循环500次后容量保持率更高,说明当电池的正、负极极片同为本申请限定的电极极片时,其电池循环容量保持率更优。此外,从实施例电池S1-S20和对比例电池DS3-DS3的数据可以看出,不具有三维导电网络基体的电极极片,其在克容量方面无任何优势,并且电池的容量保持率下降极快。
以上是本申请的示例性实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请原理的前提下,还可以对其做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也视为本申请的保护范围。
