Problems solved by technology

The above formula enhances the strength of the membrane, and the diaphragm also basically meets the requirements of the lithium-ion battery for the diaphragm, but there are still the following defects: the pore size of the formed lithium-ion battery diaphragm is not uniform, which affects the performance of the diaphragm in the lithium-ion battery. Performance
[0005] The above formula and method solve the problem of uneven film thickness and excessive film thickness in the traditional technology, but there are still the following defects: the through-porosity of the membrane hole cannot exceed 70%, and the average pore diameter cannot be lower than 0.03 microns
This limits the performance of the separator in Li-ion batteries
[0006] In the past, there was a problem of uneven dissolution of raw materials in the preparation process of separators.
Specifically, due to the inhomogeneous dissolution and phase separation between the polyethylene material and mineral oil, the distribution of polyethylene in the formed lithium-ion battery separator is uneven, which in turn makes the micropores of the formed lithium-ion battery separator uneven , which cannot meet the requirements of lithium-ion battery production

Abstract

The invention relates to a lithium ion battery diaphragm and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps of: 1) mixing ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, mineral oil and a pore-forming agent to form a uniform mixture; 2) heating the uniform mixture at the temperature of between 150 and 250 DEG C, and extruding continuously to form a flat diaphragm; 3) cooling the flat diaphragm at the temperature of less than 100 DEG C for forming, and stretching the flat diaphragm in horizontal and longitudinal directions simultaneously, so that the flat diaphragm is stretched to form a membrane; 4) extracting the mineral oil and the pore-forming agent from the membrane by using an extracting agent; and 5) performing heat treatment on the membrane at the temperature of between 80 and 160 DEG C to obtain the lithium ion battery diaphragm. Compared with the prior art, the lithium ion battery diaphragm has the advantages of uniform micropore distribution and pore forms, fine pore diameters, high porosity, high strength and the like.
