2024-11-25 Optimization of mixing speed and time to disperse the composite conductive agent composed of carbon black and graphene in lithium-ion battery slurry doi:10.57760/sciencedb.17298 en This paper proposed an optimal approach to disperse the composite conductive agent which is composed of carbon black (CB) and graphene (Gr) within lithium-ion battery (LIB) slurry with different mixing speeds and mixing times. The internal structures of LIB slurry are characterized by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Raman experiment. Initially, a composite conductive solution is prepared by mixing the composite conductive agent with NMP solvent under the conditions of five different mixing speeds n1 (n1 = 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400 rpm) in the case of mixing time t1 = 10 min. Subsequently, LIB slurry is prepared by blending the composite conductive solution, LiCoO2 and PVDF-NMP solution under the conditions of five different mixing speeds n2 (n2 = 1000 ± 280, 1100 ± 280, 1200 ± 280, 1300 ± 280, 1400 ± 280 rpm) in the case of mixing time t2 = 6 min. By analyzing the internal structure of different LIB slurries, it shows that in the case of n1 = n2 = 1200 rpm, a conductive network structure is well formed within LIB slurry. Additionally, in order to determine the optimal time to prepare the composite conductive solution for LIB slurry, nine different t1 (t1 = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 min) are selected. By analyzing the internal structure of different LIB slurries, a well-formed conductive network structure and a uniformly distributed composite conductive agent are deduced in LIB slurry when t1 = 50 min. Therefore, it can be concluded that the composite conductive agent composed of CB and Gr is able to be uniformly dispersed in LIB slurry by establishing a well-formed conductive network structure under the optimal mixing speed n1 = n2 = 1200 rpm and the optimal mixing time t1 = 50 min, t2 = 6 min. This kind of the internal structure has the potential to be used to further analyze the dispersion characterizations of LIB slurry under different composite conductive agent and CB/Gr ratios with the aim of improving the final performance of LIB.
