Abstract

Provided is a positive electrode slurry comprising a polyether phosphate, wherein the polyether phosphate may comprise at least the following structural units: and a structural unit (IV) that is a phosphate group, A being hydrogen, halogen or haloalkyl; B is hydroxyl, R, OR, or ROR′, the R and R′ being each independently a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 to 8 carbons; and E is phenyl, alkyl-substituted phenyl, ether-substituted phenyl, or halophenyl.

Claims (36)

1 . A positive electrode slurry comprising a positive electrode active material and a polyether phosphate,

wherein the polyether phosphate comprises at least the following structural units:

and a structural unit (IV) that is a phosphate group,

wherein,

A is hydrogen, halogen or haloalkyl, wherein the halogen optionally is fluorine, chlorine or bromine; and optionally, A is hydrogen or fluoromethyl;

B is hydroxyl, R, OR, or ROR′, wherein the R and R′ are each independently a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 to 8 carbons; and optionally, B is methyl, ethyl or ethoxymethyl; and

E is phenyl, alkyl-substituted phenyl, ether-substituted phenyl or halophenyl, and optionally, E is phenyl or fluorophenyl.

2 . The positive electrode slurry according to claim 1 , wherein

the polyether phosphate has a number average molecular weight ranging from 10,000 to 80,000.

3 . The positive electrode slurry according to claim 1 , wherein

based on the total molar amount of structural unit (I) to structural unit (IV), the molar proportion of structural unit (I) is 0 to 75 mol %, the molar proportion of structural unit (II) is 0 to 65 mol %, the molar proportion of structural unit (III) is 5 to 65 mol %, and the molar proportion of structural unit (IV) is 4 to 15 mol %, wherein the molar proportions of structural unit (I) and structural unit (II) are not both zero.

4 . The positive electrode slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of the polyether phosphate to the positive electrode active material ranges from 0.0005 to 0.030.

5 . The positive electrode slurry according to claim 1 , wherein

the positive electrode active material is selected from at least one of lithium iron phosphate, lithium iron manganese phosphate, lithium manganese oxide, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, lithium nickel oxide or a mixture thereof.

6 . The positive electrode slurry according to claim 1 , wherein

the positive electrode slurry has a gelling factor G ranging from 0 to 1,

wherein G=(m1−m2)/m1, and when G=0 to 0.3, it is determined that the slurry is not gelled, and when G>0.3, it is determined that it is gelled;

where m1 is the mass of the positive electrode slurry obtained after filtering 2 kg of an initial positive electrode slurry for 10 min with a 100-mesh filter screen,

and m2 is the mass of the positive electrode slurry obtained after filtering 2 kg of a positive electrode slurry that is left for 48 hours for 10 min with a 100-mesh filter screen, wherein,

the positive electrode slurry used in the measurement of m1 and the positive electrode slurry used in the measurement of m2 are the same batch of positive electrode slurry.

7 . A positive electrode plate comprising

a positive electrode current collector; and

a positive electrode film layer on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector, wherein the positive electrode film layer is prepared from the positive electrode slurry according to claim 1 , and the mass of the positive electrode film layer per unit area plate ranges from 13 to 43 mg/cm 2 , wherein the mass is the mass of the positive electrode film layer on a single surface of the plate.

8 . The positive electrode plate according to claim 7 , wherein

the positive electrode film layer comprises two sublayers which are parallel to the positive electrode current collector and overlap each other, wherein the ratio of the weight content of polyether phosphate in the sublayer closer to the positive electrode current collector to the weight content of polyether phosphate in the sublayer farther from the positive electrode current collector ranges from 0 to 60.

9 . The positive electrode plate according to claim 7 , wherein

in the case that the flexibility of the positive electrode plate is measured by winding needles,

when the diameter R of the winding needle ≤3.0 mm, the positive electrode plate does not crack, or

when the diameter R of the winding needle=3.0 mm, the positive electrode plate cracks, but when the diameter R of the winding needle=4.0 mm, the positive electrode plate does not crack.

10 . The positive electrode plate according to claim 7 , wherein

the infiltration rate increase rate I of the positive electrode plate ranges from 2 to 20%,

wherein I=(I2−I1)/I1×100%,

where I2 is the infiltration rate of the positive electrode plate in an electrolyte solution,

and I1 is the infiltration rate of the positive electrode plate without the polyether phosphate in the electrolyte solution,

wherein the positive electrode plate used in the measurement of I1 is the same as the positive electrode plate used in the measurement of I2, except that the positive electrode plate used in the measurement of I1 does not comprise the polyether phosphate, while the positive electrode plate used in the measurement of I2 comprises the polyether phosphate.

11 . A secondary battery comprising the positive electrode plate according to claim 10 .
