Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least the following technical effects:
The present application is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
The technical solutions in embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Before proposing the present application, the applicant conducted a series of research and experiments on the existing separators.
Where, in order to ensure heat resistance, one way is to use the ceramic coating separator plus non-solvent induced phase separation (CCS+NIPS) layered coating preparation process. That is, a ceramic layer is first coated on both sides or one side of a polypropylene (PP), PE or PP/PE/PP base film to ensure the heat resistance, and then, an adhesive resin is coated on the ceramic layer to meet the adhesion performance. However, the layered coating process is relatively complicated, which is not conducive to cost control and production management.
Another way is to use organic-solvent mixed coating process, that is, a high heat-resistant resin binder (such as polyetherimide) and a photoinitiator are coated on a base film, and then a UV cross-linking is performed. However, the heat resistance of a conventional organic-solvent mixed coating process is not as good as that of the layered coating process. The applicant has found through experimental verification and analysis that the reason why the organic-solvent mixed coating process has poor heat resistance is that the high heat-resistant resin binder itself has a very stable main chain, and thus has poor cross-linking effect.
In order to solve the problem of poor heat resistance of the organic-solvent mixed coating process, the applicant conducted a series of theoretical researches and experimental verifications. For example, the applicant tried to replace the conventional high heat-resistant resin binder with an ultra-high heat-resistant resin binder (such as polyetherimide), but the improvement in heat resistance is not obvious.
As a further research method, the applicant added a ceramic filler while replacing the conventional high heat-resistant resin binder with the ultra-high heat-resistant resin binder (such as polyetherimide) in order to further improve the heat resistance. However, it was found that it is difficult to complete the above steps using the existing organic-solvent coating process in actual process. After a series of analyses and experiments, it was found that the reason is that the polyetherimide has poor adhesion when it is dissolved and then coated on the base film, while immersion in a coagulation tank is required in the organic-solvent coating process, and during the immersion, the polyetherimide would fall off, thus affecting the performance of the final product.
Therefore, the technical solution of the present application is obtained after studying the above-mentioned problems of the organic-solvent mixed coating process and conducting a series of researches and experiments, aiming to solve the problems of how to improve the heat resistance of the separator produced by the organic-solvent mixed coating process and how to prevent the coated slurry from falling off during the immersion in the coagulation tank.
The technical solution of the present application is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.
An embodiment of the present application first provides a coating slurry, main components of which include a solvent, an ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder, an auxiliary binder, a cross-linking agent and an inorganic filler.
A melting point of the ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder can be above 200° C., an addition amount of the ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder can be 1-60 wt %, and the ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder can be selected from one or two of polyimide, ether anhydride polyimide, fluoroanhydride polyimide, ketone anhydride polyimide, bismaleimide oligomer, and alkenyl-terminated polyimide oligomer. In an embodiment, the addition amount of the ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder may be 15-60 wt %.
For example, the addition amount of the ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder can be any one of 1 wt %, 5 wt %, 8 wt %, 15 wt %, 20 wt %, 25 wt %, 28 wt %, 30 wt %, 33 wt %, 38 wt %, 43 wt %, 47 wt %, 50 wt %, 56 wt %, 58 wt %, 60 wt %, or a range between any two of them.
Binder is one of the important materials that must be used in formation of the coating layer. The selection and use of the binder significantly affect the adhesion, heat resistance and electrochemical properties of lithium-ion battery separators. For a long time, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has been an important binder used in the battery industry and is also the most commonly used binder for lithium-ion batteries. However, with the increasing urgency of clean production and the rapid increase of requirements for battery performance in high-performance power applications, the problems and shortcomings of using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder are becoming increasingly significant. High-performance binder is becoming an important research direction in key materials for lithium-ion battery.
The ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder of the present application is different from conventional polymer resin binders (melting point of generally 130-160° C.). The ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder of the present application not only has super strong adhesion, but also has ultra-high heat resistance and good electrochemical properties. To comprehensively meet these performance requirements, the present application selects one or two of polyimide, ether anhydride polyimide, fluoroanhydride polyimide, ketone anhydride polyimide, bismaleimide oligomer, and alkenyl-terminated polyimide oligomer.
In order to prevent the problem of falling off of the ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder such as polyimide during immersion in the coagulation tank due to poor adhesion when applied to the base film, an auxiliary binder is added to the coating slurry of the present application. Where, an addition amount of the auxiliary binder may be 1-20 wt %, and the auxiliary binder is selected from one or more of acrylate polymer, polyacrylic acid, polyurethane acrylate, polysiloxane methacrylate, PVDF homopolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and polyvinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer. The auxiliary binders selected in the present application enable the coating layer to have high heat resistance, high adhesion, suitable swelling property, and active groups that are prone to ultraviolet cross-linking and grafting and are more stable in preparation of slurry system. Moreover, since these auxiliary binders of the present application contain unsaturated double bonds, they may provide the unsaturated double bonds to be effectively coordinated with the above-mentioned ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder of the present application, and under the excitation of ultraviolet light, they can generate UV light-curing cross-linking active groups, so as to effectively carry out grafting and cross-linking.
In an embodiment, the addition amount of the auxiliary binder may be 7-19 wt %.
For example, the addition amount of the auxiliary binder can be any one of 1 wt %, 5 wt %, 7 wt %, 8 wt %, 10 wt %, 15 wt %, 17 wt %, 18 wt %, and 20 wt % or a range between any two of them.
An addition amount of the cross-linking agent can be 0.001-6 wt %, and the cross-linking agent is selected from one or more of diethylenetriamine, ethylenediamine, 3,3′-dichloro-4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane, m-phenylenediamine, diaminodiphenylmethane, ITX, benzophenone, and ethyl p-dimethylaminobenzoate. The addition amount of the cross-linking agent is closely related to the performance of the separator. If the addition amount of the cross-linking agent is too low, the degree of cross-linking and curing will be insufficient and the improvement in breakage temperature of the separator may not be as expected. If the addition amount of the cross-linking agent is too much, it will be remained too much in the separator and leads to an increased cost. In an embodiment, an addition amount of the cross-linking agent is 0.01-5 wt %.
For example, the addition amount of the cross-linking agent is any one of 0.01 wt %, 0.05 wt %, 0.07 wt %, 0.1 wt %, 0.5 wt %, 0.9 wt %, 1 wt %, 1.3 wt %, 1.7 wt %, 1.9 wt %, 2.1 wt %, 2.5 wt %, 2.9 wt %, 3.1 wt %, 3.5 wt %, 3.9 wt %, 4.1 wt %, 4.5 wt %, 4.9 wt %, 5.1 wt %, 5.5 wt %, 5.9 wt %, and 6 wt % or a range between any two of them.
Where, an addition amount of the inorganic filler may be 1-70 wt %; and a particle diameter of the inorganic filler is 0.3-0.8 μm. In some specific embodiments, the inorganic filler may be ceramic particle. It can be understood that the particle diameter of the filler as mentioned in the present application refers to a diameter of a secondary particle of the inorganic filler.
In some embodiments, the inorganic filler is selected from one or more of Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, ZrO2, MgO, CaO, AlOOH, and SiC.
In an embodiment, the addition amount of the inorganic filler is 10-70 wt %. For example, the addition amount of the inorganic filler is any one of 10 wt %, 15 wt %, 20 wt %, 25 wt %, 30 wt %, 32 wt %, 35 wt %, 40 wt %, 45 wt %, 50 wt %, 55 wt %, 57 wt %, 60 wt %, 65 wt %, and 70 wt % or a range between any two of them.
In the present application, the inorganic filler is added and evenly dispersed in the coating layer, thereby better ensuring uniform transfer of heat.
In some embodiments, a solid content of the organic-solvent coating slurry is 7-20 wt %. For example, the solid content of the organic-solvent coating slurry can be any one of 7 wt %, 8 wt %, 9 wt %, 10 wt %, 11 wt %, 12 wt %, 13 wt %, 14 wt %, 15 wt %, 16 wt %, 17 wt %, 18 wt %, 19 wt %, and 20 wt %, or a range between any two of them.
In some embodiments, the solvent is NMP.
The present application further provides a separator, including the aforementioned coating slurry and a substrate, where the coating slurry is coated on at least one surface of the substrate (one or both surfaces) and subjected to ultraviolet light radiation treatment with set energy and set wavelength to obtain an ultraviolet cross-linked separator.
The substrate is including but not limited to polyolefin microporous separators (polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene, etc.), polyimide microporous separators, non-woven fabric separators, multilayer composite separators, ceramic coated separators, polymer coated separators, etc. A thickness of the substrate is 5-20 μm.
When the separator of the present application is subjected to ultraviolet light radiation treatment, the cross-linking agent in the slurry can transition from a ground state to an excited state under ultraviolet light radiation of set wavelength and energy, and capture H ions from the C—H structure of the organic matter in the system, and at the same time generate organic macromolecular free radicals, and when they terminate each other, the organic macromolecules are cross-linked, so that molecular chain grafting and polymerization occur between the surface active groups of the inorganic filler and the ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder as well as between the molecules of the ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder itself, and then a uniform macromolecular network structure is formed. Since a uniform distribution of the inorganic filler greatly ensures a uniform and rapid transfer of heat as well as the cross-linked network structure of the ultra-high heat-resistant polymer resin binder, the overall heat resistance of the separator is greatly improved, and a thermal shrinkage rate at 150° C. for 30 min is less than 10%. In addition, the separator obtained in the present application also has an improved breakage temperature. The breakage temperature of conventional products is about 150° C., while the breakage temperature of the product of the present application is above 180° C., which further improves the safety performance of the product.

The product performance of some examples of the present application will be analyzed through experiments below.
Where, the wavelength of the ultraviolet light fluctuates within a certain range. Therefore, in other examples, the ultraviolet light can be a value in a range of such as 210-310 nm, 250-390 nm, 280-420 nm, etc. When a wavelength range is determined, the ultraviolet cross-linking time and the radiation light intensity have a great impact on the cross-linking effect. Since the formula contains inorganic particles that have a certain shielding effect on ultraviolet light, the cross-linking effect is poor when an ultraviolet light intensity is lower than 50 mj/cm2.

Please refer to Table 1, which shows the properties of the corresponding separators obtained in the above Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2.
Where, the thermal shrinkage test under 150° C. for 30 min is carried out as follows: first, cutting a separator into a test sample with a size of 50 mm*50 mm along horizontal and vertical directions of the separator, and performing initial marking on the separator; second, sandwiching the cut sample between A4 papers, where 5 A4 papers are stacked below the cut sample and 5 A4 papers are stacked above the cut sample; then, setting a temperature of an oven to be 150° C., and rising the temperature to the set temperature, and fully preheating the oven to ensure that an internal temperature thereof stably maintains the set temperature; then quickly putting the prepared sample sandwiched between the A4 papers together with the A4 papers into the oven (the sample should be placed in the middle of an upper layer of the oven, and cannot be placed on the lower layer) and closing the oven door immediately; after closing the oven door, setting a testing time as 30 minutes according to the test requirement; after the time is up, taking out the sample separator from the oven, gently flattening the separator after it cools down to a room temperature, measuring a distance between the horizontal/vertical separator edges, recording the data and calculating the thermal shrinkage rate based on a thermal shrinkage rate calculation formula as below: thermal shrinkage rate (%)=(length between initial marks-length between marks after heating)/length between initial marks×100%.
The breakage temperature of the separator is obtained through thermomechanical analysis (TMA) test. Testing the breakage temperature using TMA refers to tensioning the separator with a force (simulating a state inside the battery) and then gradually raising the temperature until the separator is ruptured.
The electrode sheet adhesion performance refers to a tested adhesion force of two opposite sides of the separator to the electrode sheets. The test method of the electrode sheet adhesion performance is carried out as follows: making a coated separator sample to be tested into a standard sample strip (coated separator (25 mm*180 mm), electrode sheet (20 mm*150 mm)), using a hot pressing shaping machine to allow the coated surface of the separator and the electrode sheet to be bonded under a certain pressure and a temperature of 60° C., then clamping the other ends of the electrode sheet and of the sample by a clamp, and applying a tension until a displacement of a tensile machine is finished. Parameters of the tensile machine are set 5 as follows: a fixed displacement: 150 mm and a testing speed: 300 mm/min.
The test method for breakdown voltage is carried out as follows: using TH9320 breakdown voltage tester to perform a breakdown voltage test, with set parameters: output voltage 6 KV, output current 1 mA, rising time 30 s; gently placing a copper conductor on a separator sample, clicking START button, so that the instrument starts to test and automatically records the data.
The calculation method of the breakdown voltage per unit thickness is as follows: breakdown voltage per unit thickness=breakdown voltage (KV)*25.4/separator thickness (μm) (where 1 mil=25.4 μm).
It can be seen from Table 1 that the present application greatly improves the overall heat resistance of the separator. The thermal shrinkage rates under 150° C. for 30 min in Examples 1 to 8 are less than 10%, while the thermal shrinkage rates under 150° C. for 30 min in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are much larger than 10%. In addition, the high heat resistance and high adhesion lithium-ion battery separator obtained by organic-solvent mixed coating process in the present application also has an excellent breakage temperature. The breakage temperatures in Examples 1 to 8 are all above 180° C., further improving the safety performance of the product, while the breakage temperatures in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are both lower than 180° C.
Where, ITX mainly functions in stimulating active groups of polyurethane acrylate substances to further induce grafting and cross-linking, and diamines mainly functions in stimulating active groups of polyetherimide to further induce bond breaking, grafting and cross-linking. When both of them are present at the same time, the cross-linking effect is enhanced (e.g., Example 6). Since the thickness of the separators are variable, the breakdown voltage per mil unit thickness is used here to characterize the improvement of the breakdown voltage performance (1 mil=25.4 μm).
