This invention discloses a meta-
aramid coating slurry, its preparation method, and a battery separator. Hydrogenated
nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is used as a binder. During the synthesis of meta-
aramid, m-phenylenediamine and NBR are first prepared into a
mixed solution, and then meta-
aramid is prepared. The
amide bonds in the meta-aramid form
hydrogen bonds with the NBR, allowing the meta-aramid and NBR to bond well together without intermolecular repulsion. When used in a separator
coating, the non-repulsive aramid and NBR not only retain the
temperature resistance of the meta-aramid but, more importantly, enable the coated separator and the
electrode to exhibit extremely
high adhesion under hot-pressing conditions. Applying this coated separator to
lithium batteries can significantly improve battery safety.
