Technical Field
The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high voltage, large capacity, no memory effect, long service life and the like, and is widely applied to digital products such as mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook computers and the like and power tools such as electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and the like. Separators are important components of lithium ion batteries. In a battery system, the separator plays a role in preventing electron communication and conducting ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator plays an important role in battery performance and safe use. Battery separators can be classified into dry-process membranes, wet-process membranes, and composite membranes, depending on the production process of the separator.
The preparation process of the dry film is to prepare the diaphragm by the steps of feeding, melt extrusion, stretching, cooling, heat treatment, stretching hole forming, heat setting, traction, slitting, rolling and the like of the polyolefin resin (Huang Yong bridge, and the like, ship electrical technology, 2011, 31(1): 26-29.). Depending on the stretching direction, dry processes can be divided into uniaxial stretching and biaxial stretching. The dry preparation method has the advantages of simple process, small pollution in the production process and high production efficiency and yield. The disadvantages of this method are the difficulty in controlling the pore size of the separator, the lateral tendency to crack, and the low safety and reliability.
The wet film is prepared through mixing liquid or small molecular matter with polyolefin resin, heating to melt into homogeneous mixture, cooling to separate phase and forming film. Heating the membrane to near melting point, and performing biaxial tension, heat preservation, solvent elution, etc. to obtain microporous membrane (Xudan, etc., plastics industry, 2013, 41(3): 94-97.). The separator prepared by this method has circular micropores. The micropores have the characteristics of small aperture, uniform pore distribution and the like.
The dry film process mainly uses PP raw material, and the wet film process mainly uses PE raw material. The composite film integrates the characteristics of a dry film and a wet film, and has the advantages of low pore closing temperature, high fusing temperature, low transverse shrinkage rate and the like.
Under abuse conditions, the lithium ion battery may be in a high temperature range of 100-300 ℃, and the lithium ion battery using the polyolefin film has potential safety hazards due to the fact that Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyolefin composite films (such as PP/PE/PP and PE/PP) can shrink and deform at high temperature. In general, a polyolefin film is coated with a nanomaterial such as alumina to form a coated separator. In such a coated separator, the organic material imparts flexibility to the separator, meeting the requirements of battery assembly. At high temperature, the organic components can be melted to block the holes of the diaphragm, slow down or prevent the battery reaction and ensure the safety of the battery. The inorganic material is distributed on the outer layer of the diaphragm, plays the role of a rigid framework and ensures the safety of the lithium ion battery. The coated separator generally consists of a base film, a binder, and an inorganic nanomaterial.
Current coated separators generally use PVDF resins from a binder point of view [ Hennige v., et al, US 7790321, 2010.7.9.]And polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) [ zhao jin bao, et al, chinese patent invention, CN 103035866 a, 2013.4.10.]Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) [ Park J.H., et al. J. Power Sources, 2010, 195(24): 8306-.]Silica sol [ Lee j.r., et al. j. Power Sources, 2012, 216: 42-47.]And polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) [ Jeong H.S., et al. electrochim. Acta, 2012, 86: 317-.]And (3) a binder. Sohn et Al combined polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) and nano Al2O3As coating agent [ Sohn J. Y., et al., J. Solid State electrochem., 2012, 16, 551-Asn 556 ].]And coated on a PE film, a PVDF-HFP/PMMA coated separator was prepared.
Previous researches prove that the PVDF has larger regularity of molecular structure, the arrangement of polymer chains is compact, fluorine atoms and hydrogen atoms in the molecular chains have stronger hydrogen bond effect, and the tensile strength, the compressive strength, the impact toughness and the like of the polymer are larger. Adsorption theory holds that adhesion is caused by intermolecular contact and interfacial forces of the two materials. The main sources of adhesion are intermolecular forces, including hydrogen bonding and van der waals forces. Continuous contact of the adhesive with the adherend is called wetting, and obtaining a good wetting effect requires that the surface tension of the adhesive be smaller than the surface tension of the adherend. In the case of untreated polymers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, the surface is more inert and difficult to bond.
Jeong et al Jeong h.s., et al, electrochim. Acta, 2012, 86: 317-. The content of the binder in the coating layer is increased, so that the falling of coating layer particles can be reduced, and the mechanical property of the diaphragm is improved. However, the binder-coated coating layer particles change the surface properties of the base film, reduce wettability to an electrolyte, and are disadvantageous to the performance of a battery used for large-current charge and discharge. Song et al [ Song J., et al. Electrochim. Acta, 2012, 85: 524-530 ] found that nano-coated particles are easily accumulated in the pores of the base film under the action of the binder, reducing the porosity of the coated membrane and increasing the resistance of lithium ion diffusion across the membrane.
From the viewpoint of coating, inorganic materials that have been studied include nano Al2O3、ZrO2、SiO2、TiO2、MgO、CaO、CaCO3、BaSO4Zeolites, boehmites, clays, and the like. Takemura et al [ Takemura D., et al. J. Power Sources, 2005, 146(1/2): 779-.]Examine Al2O3The effect of particle size on the performance of the separator. They found that Al was coated2O3The high temperature resistance of the separator can be improved. Choi et al [ Choi E.S., et al J. Mater. chem., 2011, (38): 14747-14754.]With SiO having a particle size of 40nm2And coating a PE microporous membrane to prepare a coated diaphragm. Inorganic material with special pore channels is also used to replace nano Al2O3As a coating agent, in such separator-coated battery systems, solvated lithium ions are transported directly along the "green channel" provided by the inorganic particles.
From the view point of the base film, since the reactivity of the surface of the polyolefin base film is not large, the coating layer coated on the separator is not closely adhered to the base film. In the long-term charge and discharge process, the coating layer of the coating diaphragm is easy to fall off. In particular, untreated polyolefin compounds such as polyethylene and polypropylene are difficult to bond.
During long-term charge-discharge cycle, the powder falling phenomenon is easy to occur when the diaphragm is coated. To ameliorate this phenomenon, Chen et al [ Chen H., et al2 on polypropylene membranes for improved performances of lithium-ion batteries, J. Membr. Sci.,2014,458,217-224.]The surface of the PP film is treated by plasma technology and then coated with TiO2And a coated separator was prepared. Research shows that the plasma treatment can generate polar groups on the surface of the PP film, which is beneficial to TiO2Dispersion on the surface of the separator. The prepared diaphragm has higher liquid absorption rate, higher ionic conductivity and lower thermal shrinkage. The assembled lithium ion battery has higher specific discharge capacity and better rate discharge performance.
Despite the above modification studies, the application of the coated separator to a battery system has been problematic. For example, coating the separator increases the internal resistance of the battery, making it difficult to develop the battery discharge capacity. The dusting affects the safety performance of the battery. The coating has the problem of matching with a positive electrode, a negative electrode and electrolyte.
In order to solve the problems in the application of the coated diaphragm, the compound containing the P-O bond is added into the coating layer, and the compound containing the P-O bond reacts with the polyolefin base film treated by the plasma to form the coating layer connected with the base film through the valuable bond, so that the bonding force between the coating layer coated in the coated diaphragm and the base film is obviously improved, the internal resistance of the battery is reduced, the discharge capacity of the battery is fully exerted, and the powder falling phenomenon is reduced. The compound containing P-O bond has strong wettability, strong affinity to electrolyte and strong liquid absorption capacity. The compatibility with the anode, the cathode and the electrolyte is good, and the performance of the coating film is obviously improved.
