The industry mainstream improves performance by coating Al2O3 or boehmite. However, Al2O3 has high cost (about 20,000 yuan / ton) and high density, and boehmite has insufficient mechanical strength when used alone. Moreover, the existing coating process cannot balance the three aspects of "thermal stability-ion conduction-cost", especially in solid-state batteries, the compatibility of traditional coating with solid-state electrolyte is poor, and the ionic conductivity is less than 10⁻ 4 S / cm.

[0003] Nano calcium carbonate has the potential to replace the existing materials due to its low cost (about 3,000 yuan / ton) and small density, but it has the problems of many surface hydroxyl groups, easy agglomeration, and poor compatibility with electrolyte. The existing modification methods (such as single silane coupling agent modification) cannot balance the electrolyte wettability and dispersion stability, and lack of synergistic design with boehmite and porosity control means, resulting in that the performance of the coated separator cannot meet the battery requirements.

In step three, the nano calcium carbonate slurry is taken for gradient surface modification. In this step, the temperature is first increased, and then the silane coupling agent is added for reaction, and then the temperature is increased again, and another coupling agent is added for grafting double bond, and then the dispersion, pressure filtration, drying and crushing treatment are performed to obtain the powder, so as to improve the affinity to the electrolyte and the adhesion. In step four, the nano calcium carbonate powder is taken for boehmite modification to prepare the composite coating slurry. The boehmite is first pretreated to improve the compatibility, and then the two are mixed, deionized water and binder are added for dispersion, and the slurry is prepared, which provides stable raw materials for subsequent membrane coating, and guarantees the coating performance. In step five, the composite slurry is taken for membrane coating and performance optimization. The micro-gravure coater is used to coat the slurry on the surface of the PE membrane, and the segmented temperature control drying is performed to avoid carbonization of the binder, and then the uniformity and adhesion of the coating are detected after winding, so as to guarantee the thermal stability and electrolyte wettability of the membrane.

The key performances of the three are detected respectively, the adaptability of the nano calcium carbonate, the comprehensive performance of the membrane and the use effect of the battery are verified, and the safety and cycle requirements of the battery are ensured.

[0019] As a further scheme of the present application, the present application aims at the industry pain points of poor thermal stability (150℃x1h thermal shrinkage rate>15%) of the traditional polyolefin membrane, insufficient electrolyte wettability (contact angle>60°) and high cost of the Al2O3 coating, and innovatively combines the technical path of "microemulsion limited crystal type regulation-gradient surface modification-boehmite compounding and porosity regulation", to prepare the functional nano calcium carbonate suitable for the battery membrane coating. The limestone is taken as the raw material, and after calcination and digestion, the nano calcium carbonate with a particle size of 50-100nm and a specific surface area of 55-70m² / g is prepared by microemulsion carbonization (cyclohexane-sorbitan 80-n-butanol system); the silane coupling agent KH560-KH570 is used for gradient modification to introduce the electrophilic functional groups, the boehmite (AlOOH) is compounded to form the composite coating, and the porosity (35%-45%) is regulated by adjusting the solid content of the coating slurry and the coating speed. The composite coating is coated on the surface of the polyolefin membrane (thickness 1-3um), the thermal shrinkage rate of the membrane is ≤5%, the electrolyte contact angle is ≤30°, the tensile strength is improved by more than 25%, and the composite coating can replace 30%-50% of the Al2O3 coating, and the cost is reduced by 40%; when applied to the solid-state battery, the ionic conductivity is improved to 1.2x10⁻³S / cm, and the capacity retention rate is ≥90% after 500 cycles. The method has stable process and strong compatibility, and meets the needs of the lithium ion battery and the solid-state battery membrane coating.

[0020] The technical effects of the present application are: (1) Performance synergy: The composite coating realizes "thermal shrinkage rate ≤ 5% + contact angle ≤ 30% + tensile strength increased by 25%", far exceeding traditional Al2O3 coating; (2) Cost advantage: Replacing 30%-50% Al2O3, coating cost reduced by 40%, and raw materials are easy to obtain; (3) Scene adaptation: Through conductive polymer spraying, it can adapt to solid-state batteries, and the ionic conductivity is increased to the order of 10⁻³ S / cm; (4) Process stability: The whole process can be continuously produced, the composite slurry is not layered after standing for 24 h, and the batch-to-batch deviation is ≤ 5%.

Example 8

[0064] In this embodiment, the performance of the products prepared in examples 1-7 is compared and analyzed. The performance of the surface modified nano calcium carbonate and modified separator and battery prepared in examples 1-7 is uniformly detected, and the results are shown in the following table:

[0065] The particle size of the nano calcium carbonate prepared in examples 1-7 is concentrated in 70-80nm, and the specific surface area is 58-65m2 / g, which meets the requirements of the battery separator coating on the dispersibility and specific surface area of nano particles, proving that the process of the application can still stably control the core performance of nano calcium carbonate under different parameter adjustments.

[0066] Example 5 is optimized by adjusting the amount of boehmite (i.e. adjusting the mass ratio of modified nano calcium carbonate and boehmite 1:0.5), and the modified separator (heat shrinkage rate at 150℃) is the lowest (3.8%), because the boehmite and nano calcium carbonate form a more dense interlaced support network; the modified separators (heat shrinkage rate at 150℃) of examples 1, 2 and 7 are all ≤4.5%, which meets the high temperature safety requirement of battery (≤5%).

[0067] The modified separators (electrolyte contact angle) in all examples are all ≤13°, proving that the gradient surface modification effectively improves the electrolyte affinity, among which the contact angle of examples 2 and 4 is as low as 11° due to the optimization of the coupling agent ratio, and the immersion efficiency is optimal.

[0068] Tensile strength: example 5 is the highest (225MPa), because more boehmite enhances the mechanical properties of the coating; examples 1-7 are all ≥210MPa, which is 2%-10% higher than the traditional Al2O3 coating (205MPa).

[0069] Battery performance comparison: Example 4 (microemulsion formulation optimization) has the highest cycle retention rate (92.0%), due to the improved microemulsion stability reducing particle agglomeration and optimal coating uniformity; Example 7 still maintains 85% cycle retention rate for 200 cycles at -20℃ low temperature, proving that the addition of low-temperature compatibility agent and plasticizer effectively improves low-temperature adaptability; all examples have a 500-cycle retention rate of ≥90.2%, far exceeding traditional coating batteries (about 85%).

[0070] The present application can flexibly adjust process parameters according to different application scenarios (conventional / solid / low temperature / high mechanical strength) through the technical path of "microemulsion limited crystal form regulation-gradient surface modification-boehmite composite and porosity regulation", and the prepared surface modified nano calcium carbonate and composite coating separator performs excellently in thermal stability (thermal shrinkage rate ≤4.5%), electrol yte affinity (contact angle ≤13°), mechanical strength (tensile strength ≥210MPa) and battery cycle performance (500-cycle retention rate ≥90.2%). Among them, microemulsion formulation optimization (Example 4) and high proportion of boehmite addition (Example 5) perform outstandingly in cycle stability and mechanical strength, respectively, providing a low-cost solution for battery separator coating in multiple scenarios, and having significant industrial application potential.

Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
