Description

Positive electrode
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a positive electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery, the positive electrode comprising a positive electrode active material and at least one polymer electrolyte.
Background
Polymer electrolytes are an interesting alternative to liquid electrolytes in batteries. Against this background, polyethylene oxide (PEO) based electrolytes have been widely studied in the literature.
For example, ruoyuan Tao et al in j.appl. Electrochem.35, 163-168 (2005) disclose a positive electrode comprising poly (ethylene oxide) and lithium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (Li (N (SO) 2 CF 3 ) 2 ) Also known as LiTFSI. PEO and LiTFSI were dissolved in acetonitrile to prepare electrolyte solutions. The positive electrode active material is added to the electrolyte solution.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,585,934 B2 discloses the use of EO/PO/AGE and lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI, li (N (SO 2CF 3) 2) as solid polymer electrolyte membranes this document discloses in the working examples the copolymerization procedure of EO, PO and AGE in particular LiTFSI is added as a Li salt to a polyether polymer composition comprising the EO/PO/AGE copolymer in such an amount that the ratio of (moles of lithium atoms in the electrolyte salt)/(moles of oxygen atoms in the polyether polymer) is 0.05.
Despite recent advances in this area, capacity leakage remains a problem for positive electrodes comprising PEO-based solid electrolytes. Capacity leakage is a phenomenon according to which an electrolyte acquires electron conductivity, resulting in leakage of electron current from an anode to a cathode.
There is therefore a need for improved positive electrodes, particularly positive electrodes with reduced capacity leakage when used in batteries.

step 1) polyethylene oxide (PEO, molecular weight 1,000,000) was mixed with LiTFSI (ex Soulbrain co., ltd. Instead of Sigma Aldrich) in 99.8 wt% anhydrous acetonitrile using a mixer at 2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) for 30 minutes. The molar ratio of ethylene oxide to lithium was 20.
Step 2) the mixture from step 1) was poured into a Teflon dish and dried at 25 ℃ for 12 hours.
Step 3) the dried SPE was separated from the dish and punched to obtain SPE discs with a thickness of 300 μm and a diameter of 19 mm.

3. Characterization of Polymer electrolyte and Positive electrode Material contained in Positive electrode
The solid polymer electrolyte and the positive electrode material may be separated from each other by: the solid polymer electrolyte is selectively dissolved in a solvent such as DMSO, DMF, or acetonitrile, followed by separation of a liquid phase containing the solid polymer electrolyte and a solid component containing the positive electrode material by filtration or centrifugation. Drying of the liquid phase gives a solid polymer electrolyte, which can be characterized by NMR spectroscopy, as described in example 1.2. Optionally, the solid polymer electrolyte needs to be purified by precipitation in a non-solvent such as hexane or cyclohexane, followed by filtration and drying. ICP analysis of the solid component will reveal that the solid component comprises a metal composition as determined for AM1 or AM2, respectively, in table 4.
