Embodiment 1
[0059] A water-based dispersion was used to coat a 16 μm thick microporous, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene-containing separator, EPH (Entek Membranes LLC, Oregon), the water-based dispersion contained the following:
[0060]
[0061] The coating dispersion contained 20 wt% solids and the Cabot alumina / Saint Gobain alumina / polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) mass ratio was 48.5 / 48.5 / 3. CAB-O-SPERSE PG 008 is an aqueous dispersion of alumina with a primary particle size of 20nm and a surface area of 81m 2 / g. Saint Gobain CEM-1 is an aqueous dispersion of alumina with an average particle size of 500 microns.
[0062] The separators were dip-coated in a bath containing the water-based dispersion and the thickness of the wet layer was controlled on each side with a Mayer rod. The wetted membranes were then dried with a series of air knives and sent through a vertical oven set at 80°C and wound onto cores before testing.
[0063] The thermal shrinkage of the coated separat...
Embodiment 2
[0068] A 16 μm thick, microporous, UHMWPE-containing separator was coated using a water-based dispersion, EPH (Entek Membranes LLC, Oregon), the water-based dispersion contained the following:
[0069]
[0070] The coating dispersion contained 30 wt% solids and the Cabot alumina / Saint Gobain alumina / polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) mass ratio was 48.5 / 48.5 / 3. CAB-O-SPERSE PG 008 is an aqueous dispersion of alumina with a primary particle size of 20nm and a surface area of 81m 2 / g. Saint Gobain CEM-1 is an aqueous dispersion of alumina with an average particle size of 0.5 μm.
[0071] The separators were dip-coated in a bath containing the water-based dispersion and the thickness of the wet layer was controlled on each side with a Mayer rod. The wetted membranes were then dried with a series of air knives and sent through a vertical oven set at 80°C and wound onto cores before testing.
[0072] The thermal shrinkage of the coated separators was determined. Three samples of ...
Embodiment 3
[0077] A 12 μm thick, microporous, UHMWPE-containing separator was coated using a water-based dispersion, EPH (Entek Membranes LLC, Oregon), the water-based dispersion contained the following:
[0078]
[0079] The coating dispersion contained 20 wt% solids and the mass ratio of alumina / PVDF-HFP / polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) was 50 / 47 / 3. Dip coat the membrane in a bath containing the water-based dispersion and control the thickness of the wet layer on each side with a #18 Mayer rod. The wetted membranes were then dried with a series of air knives and sent through a vertical oven set at 80°C and wound onto cores before testing. The separator had a final thickness of 17.9 μm and a Gurley value of 369 seconds / 100 cc. Basis weight gain of 6.3g / m after coating and drying operations 2 . After subtracting the weight gain caused by PVDF-HFP, the weight of alumina (including PVOH) relative to the weight of the microporous polyethylene-containing base web yielded a coating ratio of a...
