The present disclosure relates to the technical field of secondary batteries, in particular to a positive electrode piece and a secondary battery including the positive electrode piece.
Lithium-ion battery has advantages, such as long cycling life, high energy density, green and environmental friendly, and has been applied in energy storage field, power field, and digital field. With the urgent demand for high energy density batteries in the market, the traditional lithium-ion battery system is increasingly difficult to meet the market demand. The lithium-ion battery is mainly composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator and an electrolyte. The electrolyte is mainly composed of an organic solvent. In a battery system with high energy density, the battery has safety problems such as leakage, fire, explosion, etc. Solid state batteries are expected to fundamentally improve the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery, and have received extensive attention at home and abroad.
Solid state battery is a strong competitor for the next generation of energy storage battery with high energy density. However, an all-solid electrolyte still faces a problem of excessive interfacial contact impedance, especially on the positive electrode side, which greatly restricts the application of the all-solid electrolyte. At present, a solid electrolyte mainly includes sulfide electrolyte, oxide electrolyte, polymer electrolyte, hydride electrolyte, etc., where sulfide electrolyte has the disadvantages of high interfacial impedance, unstable performance, etc., the oxide electrolyte has the disadvantages of low conductivity, poor interfacial contact, etc., the hydride electrolyte has the disadvantages of unstable performance, flammability and explosion, etc., and the polymer electrolyte has characteristics of good processability and low room-temperature conductivity.
At the same time, there are some problems in the positive electrode of the solid state battery, such as poor interfacial contact, high porosity, and oxidative decomposition of polymer electrolyte, which directly affect the cycling performance of the solid state battery.
In order to overcome deficiencies of the prior art, the present disclosure aims to provide a positive electrode piece and a secondary battery including the positive electrode piece.

During charging and discharging process of a conventional all-solid state battery, there are problems such as poor interfacial contact between an electrode piece and a solid electrolyte, and high porosity on an electrode piece surface, which greatly affects the cycling performance of the solid state battery.

A specific process may refer to Example 1, where a main difference is that a mixture of polyphenylene oxide and polyacrylate with the same mass as the polyphenylene oxide acrylate monomer is used in the Comparative example 1-2 to replace the polyphenylene oxide acrylate in Example 1, where a mass ratio of polyphenylene oxide and polyacrylate is a molecular weight ratio of polyphenylene oxide to acrylate in the polyphenylene oxide acrylate monomer; and other conditions are consistent with Example 1.
Specific processes may refer to Example 1, where main differences are the process conditions, addition amounts of respective components, and types of respective component materials. See Table 1 and Table 2 for details. Among them, Examples 1-6 in Table 1 further include 0.01 g of initiators, all of which are azodiisobutyronitrile.

Performance Test:
Test method for battery internal resistance alternating current impedance: alternating current impedance for lithium-ion battery is tested in 100 KHz-0.1 mHz range at 60° C., using Metrohm PGSTAT302N chemical workstation.
Test method for porosity of electrode piece: porosity of electrode piece is tested using mercury porosimeter with model 9610 under AutoPore V series, where a certain electrode piece is taken and placed in a dilatometer, which is coated with high-pressure sealing oil, covered and sealed with threads, and then placed in a high-pressure system to test the porosity of electrode piece under high pressure.
Test method for elongation ratio of electrode piece: positive electrode slurry is coated on a smooth and flat surface, dried and hot pressed, to obtain a slurry-coated layer, which is prepared to 60 mm*20 mm*1 mm (length*width*thickness) sample, and a tensile test is conducted on the sample on hydraulic universal material testing machine with model GH-969C.
Test method for battery cycling performance: a charge and discharge cycling test for a lithium-ion battery is conducted on a battery (from LANHE) charge and discharge test cabinet, with the test conditions being 60° C., 0.3 C/0.3 C charge and discharge, and cycling times when battery capacity retention rate drops to 80% are investigated.
Test method for battery cycling rate performance: a charge and discharge cycling test for a lithium-ion battery is conducted on a battery (from LANHE) charge and discharge test cabinet, with the test conditions being 60° C., and a process at 0.3 C/0.3 C (5 cycles)→0.5 C/0.5 C (5 cycles)→1 C/1 C (5 cycles)→2 C/2 C (5 cycles)→0.3 C/0.3 C (5 cycles) is carried out.
The porosity test results show that: in the examples, the positive electrode pieces prepared by using the compound shown in Formula 8, has low porosity; in the comparative examples, formed polymers adopted cannot achieve the effect of low porosity. A main reason is that the compound shown in Formula 8 adopted in the present disclosure is a polymer monomer, which is liquid under heat condition, and can fully contact with particles, enter voids between particles, and achieve in-situ polymerization in the voids, that is, preparing a positive electrode piece with low porosity.
The test results of elongation ratio show that: by comparing the elongation ratios of the positive-electrode active material layers in Examples 1-6, it can be seen that the elongation ratio of the positive-electrode active material layer is related to the amount of polymer monomer added, and the more the polymer monomer added, the better the elongation ratio; by comparing the examples with the comparative examples, the compound shown in Formula 8 in the present disclosure has obvious comb-like polymer function, where the main chain is carbon-carbon bond, and the branch chain is comb like, and the compound can effectively combine with particle materials in the positive electrode piece, has good high elasticity state, and has good elongation ratio.
The battery internal resistance test results show that: the compound shown in Formula 8 adopted in the examples of the present disclosure can effectively bond particles in the positive electrode piece together, and meanwhile, the polymer has a comb-like structure, and the branch chain can conduct lithium, so the positive electrode pieces prepared in Examples 1-6 have a low internal resistance. However, there is a high porosity in the comparative examples and the polyacrylate does not conduct lithium, so the positive electrode pieces prepared in the comparative examples have a high internal resistance.
The results of the cycling performance tests for the examples and the comparative examples show that: the positive electrode pieces of the present disclosure have a low porosity and a small internal resistance, which makes that the batteries prepared have an advantage in cycling performance; however, the positive electrode pieces in the comparative examples have a high porosity and a high internal resistance, leading to a significant reduction of the effective cycling times of the batteries.
The results of the charge-discharge rate performance test for the examples and the comparative examples show that: the positive electrode pieces of the present disclosure have a low porosity and a small internal resistance, and the lithium ions have good lithium conductive channels in the positive electrode pieces, which makes that the prepared lithium-ion batteries have good rate performance and good application value.
The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
