AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing lithium battery separators are prone to shrinkage during thermal runaway, leading to contact between the positive and negative electrodes and accelerating thermal runaway. Existing improvement methods have increased processing difficulty and cost and have not completely solved the thermal shrinkage problem.

Method used

By using block polymer membranes, controlling the porosity and block polymer content, and combining them with cyclic carbonate electrolytes, membranes with high ionic conductivity and low thermal shrinkage are prepared.

Benefits of technology

Achieving lithium-ion conductivity at low porosity reduces membrane thermal shrinkage and improves lithium battery safety performance.

Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and particularly relates to a lithium battery separator and a lithium battery. The separator comprises a block polymer, the porosity of the separator is p, the mass percentage of the block polymer relative to the separator is w, and the relationship between the porosity p of the separator and the relative mass percentage w of the block polymer satisfies: (1 - w) / 3 < p < 25%. For the lithium battery separator of the present invention, by adding the block polymer, the separator can also achieve its own functions under the condition of a relatively small porosity, having good lithium ion conduction characteristics, reducing the thermal shrinkage rate of the separator, and improving the safety performance.
