The lithium ion battery separators according to examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3 of the present invention were tested for their peel force by the following method, in which,
the method for testing the peeling force between the adhesive functional layer and the polar plate comprises the following steps: the lithium ion battery diaphragms of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were respectively prepared into soft-package lithium ion batteries for testing, wherein the battery capacity was 1Ah, the positive electrode material was of ternary lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide 523 type, the negative electrode material was artificial graphite, the electrolyte was lithium hexafluorophosphate, and the battery cell was of a winding type. Dry pressure conditions: hot pressing at 1000kgf for 3 seconds at 85 ℃. Hot pressing conditions after liquid injection: 600kgf hot pressing for 2 minutes at 65 ℃. And respectively testing the peeling force between the adhesive functional layer and the polar plate after dry pressing and wet pressing. Peel force test conditions: cutting the disassembled polar plate (bonded with the diaphragm into sample strips with the width of 1cm and the length of 10 cm), and testing the peeling force and the tensile speed between the diaphragm and the polar plate by adopting a universal tensile testing machine: 100 mm/min;
method for testing the peel force between an adhesive functional layer and a ceramic layer: a 3M adhesive tape having a width of 1cm and a length of 10cm was adhered to an adhesive functional layer, the lithium ion battery separators of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were respectively cut into sample strips having a width of 1cm and a length of 10cm along both side edges of the 3M adhesive tape, a peeling force between the 3M adhesive tape and the separator was measured using a universal tensile tester, the 3M adhesive tape adhered the adhesive functional layer, and thus the measured results show a peeling force between the adhesive functional layer and the ceramic layer, a tensile speed: 100 mm/min.
The test results are shown in Table 1. As can be seen from table 1, if the slurry of the adhesive functional layer includes a single PVDF resin, if the slurry does not include PVDF-B resin, the peeling force between the adhesive functional layer and the polar plate is significantly reduced, thereby causing the defects of gaps between the polar plates after the soft package lithium ion battery is hot-pressed, large internal resistance of the battery, insufficient hardness of the battery core, and the like; if the slurry of the adhesive functional layer does not contain a dispersing agent, the peeling force between the adhesive functional layer and the ceramic layer is obviously reduced, so that burrs are formed on the end face in the cutting process, and the product is poor in cutting; if the adhesive functional layer slurry contains a single pore-forming agent, if the adhesive functional layer slurry does not contain a macromolecular pore-forming agent, the pore distribution of the lithium ion battery diaphragm is not uniform, so that the ion transmission process is not uniform, and the polarization internal resistance is severe and the discharge capacity is low when the high-rate discharge is carried out; if the cohesive functional layer does not contain ceramic particles, the PVDF is a soft phase in the process of hot pressing of the battery core, particularly in the process of hot pressing after liquid injection, and the PVDF deforms under the action of temperature and pressure to cause the damage of a pore structure, so that the internal resistance of the battery is increased.
