The invention starts from the preparation of polyimide by adopting the following mole ratio (1-2): (0.8-1.5) reacting 3, 6-dioxo-1, 8-octanediamine and 2- (4-aminophenyl) -5-aminobenzimidazole with 4, 4-oxo-phthalic anhydride, and then blocking by adopting hexamethylene diisocyanate to obtain a short-chain hard segment, thereby endowing the linear polyimide with good thermal stability and chemical stability and ensuring the mechanical property and adhesive property of the polyimide; the inventor speculates that the reason is probably that the application stability of the polyimide product is lower due to the strong intermolecular interaction force of the wholly aromatic polyimide, the introduction of the 3, 6-dioxo-1, 8-octanediamine properly reduces the strong intermolecular interaction force in the aromatic polyimide structure under the molar ratio, the linear polyimide is endowed with excellent thermal stability and chemical stability on the basis of ensuring the mechanical property of the polyimide, the subsequent processing is facilitated, and meanwhile, the imidazole group in the molecular chain structure of the linear polyimide can show good cohesiveness with the silicon-based anode material through coordination.
Although polyimide has good mechanical properties, chemical stability, extremely low dielectric constant and excellent thermal stability, and is widely applied to various fields at present, the existing polyimide adhesive is difficult to directly use in high-capacity silicon-based anode materials, huge volume change is generated in the charge and discharge process, and the pole piece is difficult to keep integrity, so that poor cycle performance under the charge and discharge condition with high current density is caused, and the inventor discovers that in the research process, by introducing a flexible compound into a reaction system of the linear polyimide, especially when the flexible compound is in a mass ratio of (4-6): (0.5-1.5) when the propylene diamine and the polyethylene glycol are combined, the propylene diamine and the polyethylene glycol exert synergistic effect to the greatest extent, so that the electrochemical performance of the battery is effectively improved when the battery is used as a silicon-based negative electrode binder, and the capacity cycle attenuation is reduced; the inventor speculates that the reason is probably that the small molecular flexible chain segments propylene diamine and polyethylene glycol are introduced into the linear polyimide molecular structure under the mass ratio, so that the flexibility of the linear polyimide is obviously improved, the pole piece is prevented from being damaged due to volume change when the linear polyimide is subsequently applied to a battery, the electrochemical performance of the battery when the linear polyimide is used as a silicon-based negative electrode adhesive is effectively improved, and the poor cycle performance under the high-current density charge and discharge conditions is ensured. The inventor unexpectedly found in the research process that when the weight average molecular weight of polyethylene glycol is controlled to be 400-600, the linear polyimide is endowed with good water solubility, and the subsequent processing performance of the linear polyimide is effectively improved. The inventor speculates that the reason is probably that when the weight average molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol is 400-600, the polyethylene glycol can be fully and effectively polymerized with the short-chain hard segment after the end capping of the isocyanate, and the hydroxyl-containing polyethylene glycol flexible segment is introduced into the linear polyimide structure, so that the linear polyimide is endowed with good water solubility, and the subsequent processing performance of the linear polyimide is effectively improved.

As a preferred technical scheme, the solvent is N-methyl pyrrolidone.
In the practical application process of the lithium ion battery, the final electrochemical performance is determined to a certain extent due to the huge volume expansion effect in the charge and discharge process, and the electrode material falls off from the current collector due to swelling of polyimide in electrolyte, so that the electrochemical performance of the battery is reduced, and the service life of the battery is reduced. The invention adopts diamine to crosslink the linear polyimide, so as to improve the bonding effect between the polyimide binder and the silicon-based anode material, ensure the electrochemical performance and prolong the service life of the battery, and the inventor discovers that the diamine crosslinked polyimide has higher mechanical strength and stronger bonding effect with the silicon-based anode material by adopting 2, 2-bis (4-aminophenoxy phenyl) propane to crosslink the linear polyimide in the research process; the inventor speculates that the reason is probably that 2, 2-bis (4-aminophenoxy phenyl) propane and the linear polyimide provided by the invention have good crosslinking action, the structure of the linear polyimide is opened in the process of crosslinking the 2, 2-bis (4-aminophenoxy phenyl) propane, the strong polar functional group in the linear polyimide structure can generate strong interaction with the active group on the surface of the silicon-based anode material, the formed crosslinking structure has high mechanical strength, and the crosslinking structure has buffering and protecting effects on huge volume expansion effect of the subsequent battery in the charge and discharge process, so that the pulverization and the falling of the electrode material are avoided, and the electrochemical performance of the electrode is improved;
Although the electrochemical performance of the electrode can be improved to a certain extent by adopting 2, 2-bis (4-aminophenoxyphenyl) propane for crosslinking, the problem that the electrochemical performance of the battery is poor due to swelling of a polyimide binder in an electrolyte cannot be effectively solved, and the inventor finds through creative research experiments that the molar ratio of the 2, 2-bis (4-aminophenoxyphenyl) propane to the 1, 3-bis (3-aminopropyl) tetramethyl disiloxane is controlled to be (2-4) by introducing 1, 3-bis (3-aminopropyl) tetramethyl disiloxane: and (1-2), on the basis of ensuring the mechanical properties of the provided diamine cross-linked polyimide, the diamine cross-linked polyimide has a stronger bonding effect with the silicon-based anode material, so that the provided diamine cross-linked polyimide has a lower swelling degree, the cycle performance of the battery under the high-current density charge and discharge conditions is ensured, and the actual use requirements of the high-capacity silicon-based anode material are met. The inventors speculate that the reason may be to control the molar ratio of 2, 2-bis (4-aminophenoxyphenyl) propane, 1, 3-bis (3-aminopropyl) tetramethyldisiloxane introduced to be (2-4): in the process (1-2), the existence of the siloxane structure promotes the crosslinking of the linear polyimide by the 2, 2-bis (4-aminophenoxy phenyl) propane, and the synergistic effect between the crosslinking agents is the best, so that the diamine crosslinked polyimide structure after crosslinking has lower swelling degree in electrolyte, and the problem that the electrochemical performance of a battery is poor due to the swelling of the existing polyimide binder in the electrolyte is solved.
The invention also provides a preparation method of diamine cross-linked polyimide for the negative electrode binder, which is to dissolve linear polyimide in water and add diamine solution for cross-linking.
