摘要：

采用黏结剂纤维化法制备了锂离子电池石墨干法电极，探讨电极厚度、黏结剂聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)含量和碳纳米管(CNT)对干法电极的影响，选用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和X射线能谱仪(EDS)对干法电极片的形貌和元素分布进行了分析测试，借助电子万能试验机、四探针内阻仪和光学接触角测量仪，对石墨干法电极片进行拉伸强度、电子导电性和电解液的浸润性测试，通过充放电测试手段研究了干法电极片的电化学性能。结果表明，当电极厚度超过300 μm时，电化学性能明显变差，所制备极片的厚度应控制在300 μm以内。综合电化学性能、拉伸性能、导电性和对电解液的浸润性，当石墨∶PTFE∶CNT∶导电炭黑(SP)质量比为96∶1∶1∶2时，能达到首效为91.7%，可逆容量大于330 mAh/g，面容量为11.28 mAh/cm2，拉伸率为9.06%，电阻为24.1 Ω，与电解液接触角为65.33°。通过SEM可以清楚地看到在电极的表面和横截面均有丰富的PTFE，PTFE以纤维状态存在，形成具有层次结构的分支状纤维，在电极内部构建出一个连续的网状架构。在制备石墨干法电极片的过程中发现引入碳纳米管后，更易制备成极片，而且极片的韧性和导电性得到很大的提升。面对高能量密度的需求，厚电极的制造也是关键的发展方向，与湿法涂布工艺相比，在没有溶剂情况下的干法电极制造可以突破厚电极制造的限制，干法电极技术可以提供一种更低成本、对环境无害且可持续发展的高效电极制备方案。

Abstract:

A graphite dry electrode for lithium-ion batteries was fabricated using a binder fiberization technique. The effects of electrode thickness, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content, and carbon nanotube (CNT) addition on electrode performance were systematically investigated. Morphological and elemental distribution analyses were conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Mechanical, electrical, and wetting properties were evaluated using a universal testing machine, a four-probe internal resistance meter, and an optical contact angle goniometer, respectively. Electrochemical performance was assessed through charge-discharge testing. The results showed that when the electrode thickness exceeded 300 μm, electrochemical performance deteriorated markedly; therefore, the thickness should be limited to ≤300 μm. Based on comprehensive evaluation, including electrochemical behavior, tensile strength, conductivity, and electrolyte wettability, the optimal formulation was identified as graphite∶PTFE∶CNT∶Super P (SP) at a mass ratio of 96∶1∶1∶2. This composition yielded a coulombic efficiency of 91.7%, a reversible capacity exceeding 330 mAh/g, a surface capacity of 11.28 mAh/cm2, a tensile elongation of 9.06%, a resistance of 24.1 Ω, and a contact angle of 65.33°. SEM images confirmed the presence of abundant PTFE fibers on the surface and cross-section of the electrode, forming a branched and hierarchically structured network throughout the electrode matrix. The inclusion of CNTs enhanced both the resilience and conductivity of the electrode sheet, facilitating easier fabrication. To meet the growing demand for high energy density, thick electrode manufacturing has become a critical focus. Unlike conventional wet-coating techniques, dry electrode fabrication eliminates the need for solvents, offering a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and scalable approach to producing thick electrodes.
