Application: Electrochemical apparatus and electronic apparatus (Patent ID: US20240079592A1)
The patent filed by TDK Corp describes an electrochemical apparatus with a negative electrode that includes a current collector, a first coating, and a second coating. The first coating, situated between the current collector and the second coating, contains inorganic particles with a Mohs hardness of 2 to 7. These inorganic particles can include materials like boehmite, aluminum powder, quartz sand, apatite, nanoceramics, or zircon, with a median particle size ranging from 100 nm to 600 nm.
Furthermore, the first coating also includes a conductive agent, a binder, and a dispersant in specific mass ratios. The conductive agent can be zero-dimensional (e.g., conductive carbon black) or one-dimensional (e.g., conductive carbon tube), while the binder and dispersant encompass various materials like polyvinyl alcohol and sodium alginate. The negative electrode's tensile strength, coating weight, cover rate, electronic resistance, and elongation rate are also specified within the patent claims, ensuring the electrode's performance and durability within the electrochemical apparatus.
