70% of the quality of the battery is related to the quality of the pole piece, and 70% of the quality of the pole piece is related to the quality of the slurry. Therefore, a good slurry is equivalent to half of a battery, and homogenization is the primary and core task of battery manufacturing. Laboratory battery processes tend to be more elaborate than commercial battery processes, except for the homogenization process. This also shows that homogenization is also a difficulty in battery manufacturing.
The main purpose of lithium-ion battery slurry dispersion is to uniformly disperse the active material, conductive agent, binder, etc. in a solvent according to a certain mass ratio to form a stable slurry with a certain viscosity for coating the pole piece. The purpose of the lithium-ion battery pulping process is to prepare for thin film production. The requirements of the pole piece for the ideal slurry: 1. The active material particles are uniformly dispersed without agglomeration, the conductive agent particles form a thin layer and disperse into a conductive network, and a large number of active material particles are interlocked and connected on the current collector. 2. The particles of the active material are very small, so that the battery has a high current density.
At present, the mainstream homogenization equipment used by lithium-ion battery manufacturers is a double planetary mixer. The double planetary mixer used in the lithium battery industry, also called PD mixer, is equipped with a low-speed mixing part Planet and a high-speed dispersion part Disper. The low-speed mixing components are two curved rack-type mixing paddles, driven by planetary gears. The blade rotates when it rotates, so that the material moves up and down, left and right, so as to achieve the ideal mixing effect in a short time. The high-speed dispersion part is generally a dentition dispersion disc, which revolve with the planet carrier and rotate at high speed at the same time, so that the material is strongly sheared and dispersed. The effect is several times that of an ordinary mixer. The dispersion part is divided into monodispersion axis and double dispersion axis. Dispersion shaft.
The preparation of double planetary mixer slurry often uses the shear force generated by hydrodynamics, which is controlled by the flow shear rate, cluster cross-sectional area and hydrodynamic viscosity. The preparation of the slurry generally involves two processes: the breaking up of the clusters and the reconstitution of the suspended aggregates.
Cluster crushing is a complex process, including wear, fracture and crushing three ways. Cluster splitting is particularly dependent on particle-particle interactions, slurry solvent-particle interactions, and primary shear forces, which in turn depend on the viscosity and velocity of movement of the solvent. Wear usually occurs when the energy is low, and small fragments are gradually sheared from large masses by wear. When the stirring energy is high, the cluster is broken and divided into several parts. Fragmentation is a special variation of fragmentation in which a cluster is simultaneously divided into a large number of small fragments.
