The invention discloses a
lithium battery diaphragm with low
moisture and high circulation rate and a preparation method thereof, the
lithium battery diaphragm comprises a base membrane and a
coating on the base membrane, and the
coating comprises polycrystalline
mullite whiskers,
barium sulfate and a binder. A staggered 3D
network structure is generated between the
barium sulfate and the polycrystal
mullite whiskers, the polycrystal
mullite whiskers can be interspersed among the
barium sulfate, based on the
network structure, water is more easily volatilized during diaphragm preparation, the
water content of the diaphragm is reduced, the
barium sulfate and the polycrystal mullite whiskers jointly adjust the
porosity and pore size distribution of the diaphragm, and the diaphragm is more stable in performance. According to the present invention, the polycrystalline mullite
crystal whiskers are added to form the
ion moving channel so as to allow the ions in the
electrolyte to pass through, such that the current blocking purpose is achieved, the battery use safety is ensured, the polycrystalline mullite
crystal whiskers improve the
ion conductivity of the diaphragm, the
current density is increased, and the local overheating caused by the non-uniform
current density is avoided.
