Problems solved by technology

The temperature difference of 35°C between the thermal closing temperature of PE and the thermal melting temperature of PP can be used to protect general lithium-ion batteries. However, when the separator is punctured and overcharged with high current density, the shrinkage of the film (heating at 105°C for 8 hours shrinks 2.5 -5%) or even melting will directly lead to short circuit and lose the protection function
[0004] In addition, the patent CN 200510055714.3 discloses a method for manufacturing a diaphragm for electronic components. The diaphragm can be used in lithium-ion secondary batteries. It is composed of a resin structure, but the invention uses a coating method to form a resin coating on a porous substrate and after drying, the carrier material needs to be removed, so the prepared membrane is not a composite membrane reinforced by a carrier
Moreover, the melting point of the filling resin in this invention is higher than or equal to 145°C, which cannot ensure that the thermal closure temperature of the diaphragm still remains after the thermal closure of the diaphragm, such as the PP / PE / PP three-layer diaphragm and the composite film prepared by the invention. The strength prevents the positive and negative poles of the battery from contacting and short circuiting
The melting point of the filling resin mentioned above is higher than or equal to 145°C. When the melting point is too high, the pores cannot be effectively thermally closed. When the melting point is too low, it is easy to melt directly and cause a short circuit.
It can be seen that the safety performance of the diaphragm for electronic components manufactured by the invention needs to be improved when it is used in lithium-ion secondary batteries.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of lithium-ion battery diaphragm materials, in particular to a high thermal safety temperature diaphragm for lithium-ion batteries and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] As lithium batteries are increasingly used as power batteries, the demand for high power output performance and safety puts forward higher requirements for lithium battery separators. During the high-power discharge process, the local temperature of the battery is too high, which can cause the solid electrolyte interface protective film of the negative electrode to decompose and release heat, which will cause the battery to further heat up and cause the decomposition of organic electrolyte and other substances and the melting of the diaphragm, resulting in a direct reaction of the positive and negative electrodes or even an explosion. . Puncture or impact during battery use can also cause a momentary drop in battery voltage. ...
