Problems solved by technology

However, due to the inherent characteristics of polyolefin polymers, it affects its performance in batteries, and even hinders its application in some fields.
[0003] The disadvantages of polyolefin battery separators are mainly manifested in: (1) low surface energy and poor hydrophilicity; resulting in poor wettability between polyolefin separators and highly polar electrolytes, and poor liquid retention capacity, thus affecting battery performance
(2) Poor thermal stability, prone to thermal shrinkage; the battery will emit a lot of heat when charging and discharging with high current, and the battery temperature will remain at a relatively high level
However, the low thermal stability of the polyolefin separator leads to a large thermal shrinkage at high temperature, which increases the risk of short circuit in the battery.
(3) Insufficient electrochemical stability; although the polyolefin separator has good stability, it still cannot fully meet the requirements of the battery under the trend of high voltage and high capacity of the battery, and yellowing and mechanical properties will appear after long-term use. Reduced energy phenomenon, which in turn affects the service life of the battery
But the disadvantage is that the thickness of the diaphragm is increased more, which runs counter to the current direction of high capacity and miniaturization of batteries.
Moreover, the coating layer only exists on the outer surface of the diaphragm, and does not improve the inner wall of the microporous structure.
