AI Technical Summary
Existing lithium-ion battery separators are prone to shrinkage and melting under high temperature conditions, leading to short circuits. Furthermore, traditional microcapsules are easily ruptured under mechanical pressure, failing to effectively suppress thermal runaway. Existing organic phase change materials have low phase change enthalpy, making them unable to effectively suppress the rate of temperature rise in lithium-ion batteries during thermal runaway.
A method for preparing diaphragms modified with hydrated salt phase change microcapsules was adopted. Hydrated salt phase change microcapsules were coated on the surface of plasma-modified diaphragms. The core-shell structure of the hydrated salt phase change microcapsules was absorbed and melted and thermochemically decomposed at high temperature. Combined with plasma treatment, the hydrophilicity and mechanical strength of the diaphragm were improved, thus preparing diaphragms modified with hydrated salt phase change microcapsules.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery separator technology, specifically a method for preparing a hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified separator and its application. Background Technology
[0002] A lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery that operates based on the mechanism of lithium ions being inserted and extracted between the positive and negative electrodes. Its core components include a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a separator. The separator is located between the positive and negative electrodes to prevent the two electrodes from coming into contact and causing a short circuit. The electrolyte carrying lithium ions migrates between the positive and negative electrodes through the separator. The better the electrolyte affinity of the separator, the less resistance the electrolyte encounters when passing through the separator, which is more conducive to improving the migration rate of lithium ions and improving battery performance. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electronic devices, new energy vehicles, and energy storage infrastructure due to their high energy density and long service life. Polypropylene separators, which are commonly used in lithium-ion batteries, are highly stable and inexpensive. However, polypropylene separators have a low melting point and are prone to shrinkage and melting in high-temperature environments, leading to battery short circuits. Therefore, how to protect the battery, limit heat dissipation, and improve the battery's thermal performance is a problem that the market urgently needs to solve.
[0003] Chinese patent with publication number CN116814221B discloses a single-shell phase change microcapsule. However, traditional single-shell microcapsules rupture prematurely due to the high temperature environment and strong mechanical pressure during battery manufacturing, and it is difficult to balance their mechanical strength and thermal response sensitivity. Chinese patent CN106479445A discloses a method for preparing polyurea-polyacrylate double-shell microcapsules by a combination of interfacial polymerization and in-situ polymerization. However, organic phase change materials have low phase change enthalpy and absorb less heat during the phase change process, which cannot effectively suppress the rate of temperature rise of lithium-ion batteries during thermal runaway. Moreover, organic phase change materials are flammable, and ignition will further promote the spread of thermal runaway.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues and improve the electrolyte affinity and thermal properties of lithium-ion battery separators, this invention provides a method for preparing a hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified separator and its application. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified diaphragm and its application, so as to solve the problems raised in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: Step 1: Add the hydrated salt phase change microcapsules and binder to the solvent and stir; disperse by ultrasonication, remove and stir magnetically to obtain the hydrated salt phase change microcapsule slurry; Step 2: Place the lithium-ion battery separator in an organic solvent and immerse it; remove it, wash it with deionized water, immerse it in deionized water, and then immerse it again; place it in a plasma surface treatment instrument and treat it under an oxygen atmosphere; remove it and immerse it in a chitosan solution; remove it and immerse it in a vinyltriethoxysilane solution; remove it and vacuum dry it to obtain the plasma-modified separator. Step 3: Coat the slurry of hydrated salt phase change microcapsules onto the surface of the plasma-modified membrane, and vacuum dry to obtain the hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified membrane.
[0007] A more optimized hydrated salt phase change microcapsule slurry comprises the following components, expressed as mass percentages: 5-20 wt% hydrated salt phase change microcapsules, 4-20 wt% binder, and the balance being solvent.
[0008] A more optimized method for preparing hydrated salt phase change microcapsules is as follows: hydrated salt is added to hydrophilic modified boron nitride, heated, and sonicated to obtain a mixed solution; cyclohexane is added to hydrophilic modified boron nitride, sonicated, and then added to the mixed solution, maintaining a constant temperature and sonicating; hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide is added, maintaining a constant temperature and stirring; 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and tetraethyl silicate are added, maintaining a constant temperature and stirring; ammonia is added, maintaining a constant temperature and stirring; the mixture is filtered, washed with anhydrous ethanol, and dried to obtain hydrated salt phase change microcapsules. The mass ratio of the hydrated salt, hydrophilic modified boron nitride, cyclohexane, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, tetraethyl silicate, and ammonia is (5-43):(0.7-1):(25-40):(0.1-2):(1-5):(6-35):(7-60).
[0009] A more optimized ammonia concentration is 20%-30%.
[0010] A more optimized chitosan solution concentration is 0.5-2.5 wt%. The concentration of the vinyltriethoxysilane solution is 0.1-3 wt%.
[0011] In a more optimized step, the conditions for ultrasonic dispersion in step one are: ultrasonic dispersion for 20-30 minutes at an ultrasonic frequency of 39-41KHz and an ultrasonic power of 440-460W. In step one, the conditions for magnetic stirring are: stirring magnetically for 2.5-4 hours at a speed of 500-800 rpm.
[0012] The optimal mass ratio of hydrated salt phase change microcapsules to plasma-modified membranes is 1:(4-20).
[0013] More preferably, the adhesive is any one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; The solvent is any one of N-methylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide; The lithium-ion battery separator is any one of polyethylene separator, polypropylene separator, or polypropylene / polyethylene / polypropylene composite separator; The organic solvent is any one of ethanol solution, isopropanol, and acetone.
[0014] Ideally, the concentration of the ethanol solution is 70%-80%.
[0015] The more optimized hydrophilic modified boron nitride is any one of hydroxylated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets, aminolated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets, and carboxylated hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets; The method for preparing the hydrophilic modified boron nitride includes the following steps: Option 1: Add hexagonal boron nitride powder to sucrose, place it in a ball mill jar, and ball mill; wash with deionized water, sonicate, centrifuge, and obtain supernatant; take the supernatant, centrifuge, and obtain supernatant; take the supernatant, freeze dry, and obtain hydrophilic modified boron nitride; Option 2: Add hexagonal boron nitride powder to dopamine, add deionized water, mix evenly to obtain a slurry; take the slurry, sonicate, add agate balls, and liquid-phase ball mill to obtain hydrophilic modified boron nitride; Option 3: Add dopamine to Tris-HCl buffer and mix well to obtain a dopamine-Tris mixed solution; impregnate hexagonal boron nitride powder in the dopamine-Tris mixed solution, shake, wash with deionized water, and dry to obtain hydrophilic modified boron nitride. Option 4: Take hexagonal boron nitride powder, add it to tannic acid, add deionized water, mix evenly to obtain a slurry; take the slurry, sonicate it, add agate balls, and liquid-phase ball mill it to obtain hydrophilic modified boron nitride.

[0017] A more optimized hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified diaphragm was prepared.
[0018] The optimized application of the hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified separator in the field of lithium-ion batteries.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention uses a hydrated salt phase change microcapsule slurry coated on the surface of a plasma-modified separator. Hydroxylated, aminated, and carboxylated boron nitride hexahydrate (i.e., hydrophilic modified boron nitride) is prepared using a physical-chemical modifier composite modification method. The hydrated salt phase change microcapsules use hydrated salt as the core material and hydrophilic modified boron nitride and silicon dioxide as the shell layer. When the local temperature of the battery reaches the solid-liquid phase change temperature and thermochemical decomposition temperature of the hydrated salt, the hydrated salt absorbs heat and melts and decomposes thermochemically, inhibiting heat diffusion and improving the thermal safety of the battery. However, using hydrated salt directly can lead to the loss of crystal water during endothermic melting, and free ions can corrode the battery electrodes, affecting battery life. By using a core-shell structure to confine the hydrated salt in the core-shell structure silica-hydrated salt nanospace, the hydrated salt can undergo endothermic melting and thermochemical decomposition in the internal space, preventing battery thermal runaway and improving battery safety and lifespan.
[0020] Polypropylene separators are surface-treated with oxygen plasma and then sequentially immersed in chitosan solution and vinyltriethoxysilane solution to obtain plasma-modified separators. Oxygen plasma surface treatment of the polypropylene separator introduces oxygen-containing polar groups onto the separator surface, reducing the water contact angle and significantly improving the separator's hydrophilicity and surface energy, thereby increasing the electrolyte's wetting rate and improving battery performance. Furthermore, the oxygen-containing groups introduced onto the plasma-activated separator surface form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of chitosan, allowing the chitosan solution to spread evenly on the separator surface, improving its dispersibility and inhibiting micropore blockage. The hydrophilic groups of chitosan form a hydration layer with water molecules, reducing the transport resistance of lithium ions in the electrolyte, increasing the migration rate of lithium ions, and improving battery performance.
[0021] Impregnating with vinyltriethoxysilane has two main effects. First, vinyltriethoxysilane hydrolyzes to generate hydroxyl groups, which then form covalent bonds with the oxygen-containing groups on the membrane surface and the hydroxyl groups of chitosan through a condensation reaction. This acts as a bridge, increasing the bonding force between the membrane and chitosan and preventing the chitosan layer from detaching and causing blockage of the membrane micropores. Second, vinyl groups construct a hydrophobic network within the membrane micropores, reducing the binding rate between chitosan and water molecules, preventing chitosan swelling, and avoiding the chitosan layer from detaching and causing blockage of the membrane micropores.
[0022] The preparation method of the present invention is simple and quick, requiring only modification of existing lithium-ion battery separators and coating with self-made hydrated salt phase change microcapsule slurry; there is no need to develop or produce new separators, which helps to save production costs.

[0034] experiment The performance of the hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified separators and lithium iron phosphate batteries prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was measured. (1) Charge and discharge performance measurement The initial discharge specific capacity of the lithium iron phosphate battery was determined by 0.2 C cycle performance testing. After five cycles, the coulombic rate and average capacity decay rate were measured. (2) Thermal performance determination The temperature was heated to 120°C using a heating plate, and the specific temperature was recorded using a Fluke TiS20+MAX infrared thermal imager. The thermal shrinkage rate of the hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified diaphragm was then determined. The phase transition enthalpy and decomposition enthalpy of the hydrated salt phase transition microcapsule modified diaphragm were determined by differential scanning calorimetry. (3) Electrophilic properties determination The contact angle of the hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified membrane was measured using LB-083 secondary electrolyte and analyzed using a DSA100S droplet shape analyzer. The data obtained from the above experiments are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below: Table 1 Table 2 Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the above experimental data, the lithium iron phosphate batteries prepared in Examples 1-4 have higher initial discharge specific capacity and more stored energy; after five cycles, they have higher coulombic rate, lower average capacity decay rate, longer cycle life, and higher safety; furthermore, the hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified separators prepared in Examples 1-4 have lower shrinkage rate and higher thermal stability under high temperature conditions; higher phase change enthalpy and decomposition enthalpy, absorbing more heat during phase change and decomposition, resulting in higher thermal stability; and higher contact angle, indicating superior electrolyte affinity of the hydrated salt phase change microcapsule modified separators; while the lithium iron phosphate batteries prepared in Comparative Examples 1-5 show significant differences from those in Examples 1-4 in all aspects, exhibiting poorer battery life, safety, and performance.
[0035] Comparative analysis of Comparative Example 1, where the battery separator is a polypropylene separator, with Example 1 shows that the polypropylene separator, after oxygen plasma surface treatment, is sequentially immersed in chitosan solution and vinyltriethoxysilane solution to obtain a plasma-modified separator. Oxygen plasma surface treatment of the polypropylene separator introduces oxygen-containing polar groups onto the separator surface, reducing the water contact angle, significantly improving the separator's hydrophilicity and surface energy, increasing the electrolyte's wetting rate on the separator surface, and improving battery performance. On the other hand, the oxygen-containing groups introduced on the plasma-activated membrane surface form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of chitosan, which allows the chitosan solution to spread evenly on the membrane surface, improves the dispersibility of the chitosan solution on the membrane surface, and inhibits the clogging of membrane micropores.
[0036] Comparative analysis of Comparative Example 2 (without chitosan solution and vinyltriethoxysilane solution) and Example 1 shows that first impregnating with chitosan solution allows the hydrophilic groups of chitosan to form a hydration layer with water molecules, reducing the transport resistance of lithium ions in the electrolyte, increasing the migration rate of lithium ions, and improving battery performance; then impregnating with vinyltriethoxysilane inhibits the shedding of the chitosan layer and avoids clogging of the membrane micropores.
[0037] Comparative Example 3, which was not impregnated with vinyltriethoxysilane solution, and Example 1 were compared and analyzed. On the one hand, vinyltriethoxysilane hydrolyzes to generate hydroxyl groups, which form covalent bonds with the oxygen-containing groups on the membrane surface and the hydroxyl groups of chitosan through a condensation reaction. This acts as a bridge to improve the binding force between the membrane and chitosan, preventing the chitosan layer from falling off and causing blockage of the membrane micropores. On the other hand, vinyl groups construct a hydrophobic network in the membrane micropores, reducing the binding rate of chitosan and water molecules, preventing chitosan swelling, and preventing the chitosan layer from falling off and causing blockage of the membrane micropores.
[0038] Comparative analysis of Comparative Example 4 (which does not impregnate with chitosan solution) and Example 1 shows that the hydrophilic groups of chitosan form a hydration layer with water molecules, which reduces the transport resistance of lithium ions in the electrolyte, increases the migration rate of lithium ions, and improves battery performance.
[0039] Comparative analysis of Comparative Example 5 (without hydrated salt phase change microcapsule slurry) and Example 1 shows that coating the plasma-modified separator surface with hydrated salt phase change microcapsule slurry, wherein the hydrated salt phase change microcapsules use hydrated salt as the core material and hydrophilic modified boron nitride and silicon dioxide as the shell layer, when the local temperature of the battery reaches the solid-liquid phase change temperature and thermochemical decomposition temperature of the hydrated salt, the hydrated salt absorbs heat and melts and decomposes thermochemically, inhibiting heat diffusion and improving the thermal safety of the battery; However, using hydrated salt directly can lead to the loss of crystal water during endothermic melting, and free ions can corrode the battery electrodes, affecting battery life. By using a core-shell structure to confine the hydrated salt in a core-shell structure of silica-hydrophilic modified boron nitride-hydrated salt nanospace, the hydrated salt can undergo endothermic melting and thermochemical decomposition in the internal space, preventing battery thermal runaway and improving battery safety and lifespan.
