The singular forms "a" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0038] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application specifically provide a modification method for improving the temperature resistance and wetting performance of PE separator, the modification method of the embodiments of the present application comprises:

[0039] The PE separator is subjected to gas-solid phase reaction with F2-N2 mixed gas containing 0.1-1v / v% F2 to obtain a fluorinated product;

[0040] The fluorinated product is subjected to gas-solid phase reaction with F2-O2-N2 mixed gas containing 3v / v% O2 and 1% v / v F2 to obtain an oxyfluorinated product.

Any commercially available PE separator in the art can be used.

[0042] The modification method of the embodiments of the application can significantly improve the temperature resistance and wettability of the PE separator by performing two-stage gas-solid phase reactions. In the first stage, fluorination modification is performed by introducing a small amount of fluorine gas. On the one hand, free radicals are formed on the surface of the PE separator by grafting, and the free radicals can undergo micro-crosslinking reactions, thereby effectively improving the modulus and temperature resistance of the PE separator. On the other hand, the generation of C-F2 and CF3 bonds on the surface of the PE separator can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively preventing the formation of a tetrafluoroethylene-like structure on the surface of the PE separator, which is conducive to further improving the wettability of the PE separator. In the second stage, oxyfluorination modification is performed by introducing oxygen and fluorine gas. Oxygen groups are grafted onto the surface of the PE separator to form polar groups COOH by using fluorine gas to initiate oxygen, thereby imparting good hydrophilic properties to the surface of the PE separator, and thus improving the wettability of the PE separator. Therefore, the technical concept of combining fluorination modification and oxyfluorination modification in the embodiments of the application effectively improves the temperature resistance and wettability of the PE separator, and the modification method has the advantages of simple process, easy operation, low cost, and good commercial application prospect.

[0043] The embodiments of the application provide a specific scheme for implementing the modification method, specifically as follows:

[0046] After vacuum is applied, F2-O2-N2 mixed gas containing 3v / v% O2 and 1% v / v F2 is introduced into the reaction kettle to perform a gas-solid phase reaction, and an oxyfluorination product is obtained.

[0047] In the embodiments of the application, N2 is first introduced into the reaction kettle to replace the air in the kettle before the specific implementation, thereby effectively avoiding the interference of residual air in the subsequent fluorination and oxyfluorination processes on the gas-solid phase reaction, making the fluorination and oxyfluorination modification more effective and efficient.

[0048] In the modification method of the embodiments of the application, after the oxyfluorination product is obtained, the method further includes:

[0049] The reaction kettle is connected with N2 to replace F2 sufficiently, so that the reaction kettle does not contain F2 residue, which not only ensures the safety of subsequent operation, but also F2 can be recycled for multiple uses, which meets the environmental protection requirements and reduces the cost.

[0050] In specific embodiments, the pressure in the reaction kettle after vacuumizing is preferably less than 100 Pa. Controlling the pressure in the kettle to be less than 100 Pa can effectively ensure better vacuum degree in the kettle, which is beneficial to improve the efficiency of gas-solid phase reaction.

The pressure in the reaction kettle can be any value in the range of 5-20 KPa, which can be preferably 10 KPa, 20 KPa, etc.

[0052] In specific embodiments, the introduction rate of the F2-N2 mixed gas containing 0.1-1 v / v% F2 is 0.1-5 L / min; and / or, the introduction rate of the F2-O2-N2 mixed gas containing 3 v / v% O2 and 1% v / v F2 is 0.1-5 L / min, which is beneficial to improve the effect of each gas-solid phase reaction, so that the efficiency of gas-solid phase reaction is higher. The introduction rate of the two mixed gases can be any value in the range of 0.1-5 L / min, which is preferably 0.1 L / min, 0.2 L / min, 0.3 L / min, 0.4 L / min, 0.5 L / min, 1 L / min, 1.5 L / min, 2 L / min, 2.5 L / min, 3 L / min, 3.5 L / min, 4.0 L / min, 4.5 L / min and 5 L / min, etc.

[0053] In specific embodiments, the temperature of the two gas-solid phase reactions is preferably 0-50℃, and the time is preferably 5-20 min, which can improve the reaction efficiency of gas-solid phase reaction and save time. The temperature can be any value in the range of 0-50℃, which is preferably 10℃, 20℃, etc.

[0054] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application also provide a PE separator modified by the method of the first aspect. The surface and pore wall of the PE separator are grafted with free radicals and polar groups COOH by the modification method of the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the PE separator modified by the method has excellent hydrophilic performance and temperature resistance.

[0055] In a third aspect, based on the excellent hydrophilic property and temperature resistance of the PE separator according to the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application provide an application of the PE separator described above. Specifically, the PE separator according to the embodiments of the present application is used to manufacture Li + The battery separator. Wherein, based on the performance characteristics of the PE separator according to the embodiments of the present application, the PE separator according to the embodiments of the present application is used as a Li + The battery separator, on the one hand, can improve the wettability of the PE separator and the electrolyte, and increase the liquid absorption rate of the PE separator and the electrolyte retention rate, thereby being conducive to improving the electrical conductivity and the Li + The number of Li + The battery migration, so as to improve the electrical performance of the Li + The battery; on the other hand, it can improve the protection ability of the PE separator to the battery at a higher temperature, so as to improve the safety performance of the Li + The battery.
