Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a lithium battery separator, its preparation method, and a system for improving the morphology of sprayed points, belonging to the field of lithium battery separator coating technology. Background Technology

[0002] Slurry coating is a crucial step in the lithium-ion battery separator production process. The slurry in the cartridge is atomized by high-speed shearing in the spray head and then sprayed onto the surface of the lithium-ion battery separator. Excess slurry is recycled back into the cartridge via a return pipe. The aqueous PVDF return slurry, after high-shearing, is prone to agglomeration. When this agglomerated slurry is recycled, it easily forms spray dots of varying outer diameters on the membrane surface. Small spray dots do not provide adhesion to the separator and affect battery performance, while large spray dots can easily cause pore blockage.

[0003] Existing technologies improve the uniformity of spray dot morphology and size mainly by adjusting the parameters of the nozzle and the composition parameters of the slurry. However, these methods cannot fundamentally solve the technical problem of slurry agglomeration in the return flow. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In step C, the flow rate of the slurry in the nozzle of the spray head is 400-1500 ml / s, and the rotation speed of the rotor disc is 5000-15000 rpm.

[0015] The flow rate of the slurry in the spray nozzle of the spray head is 400-1500ml / s, and the rotation speed of the rotor disc is 5000-15000rpm.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] A specific embodiment of the lithium battery separator of the present invention: The lithium battery separator of this embodiment includes a separator substrate and a PVDF coating coated on at least one surface of the separator substrate. The PVDF coating includes spray dots, which are annular in shape. The annular width of the spray dots is between 10-150 μm, and the thickness of the spray dots is between 0.5-15 μm. The number of spray dots with an outer diameter of 200-500 μm is more than 90% of the total number of spray dots. Preferably, the annular width of the spray dots is between 20-90 μm, and the thickness of the spray dots is between 0.8-6 μm.

[0022] A specific embodiment of the method for preparing the lithium battery separator of the present invention: The method for preparing the lithium battery separator in this embodiment includes the following steps: (1) mixing PVDF resin, thickener, binder, water and dispersant evenly to obtain PVDF slurry.

[0024] This step also includes the following steps: A. Returning excess sprayed slurry to the ultrasonic disperser through a return pipe, and using ultrasound to disperse the slurry; in this step, the slurry flow rate entering the ultrasonic disperser is 500-1500 ml / s, the ultrasonic dispersion temperature is 18-25℃, the power of the ultrasonic disperser is 1000W-3000W, and the frequency of the ultrasonic disperser is 18-50HZ. B. The ultrasonically dispersed slurry is fed into a filtration device for filtration, and the filtered slurry is stored in a feeding tank. The filtration is a three-stage filtration, with each stage having a mesh size between 40 and 150 mesh. The mesh size gradually increases along the slurry flow direction. C. The filtered slurry in the feeding tank is fed into a material box. When the rotor disk connected to the nozzle of the material box rotates at high speed, it performs high-speed shearing on the slurry to atomize it. The atomized slurry is sprayed onto the surface of the base film. The flow rate of the slurry in the nozzle of the spray head is 400-1500 ml / s, and the rotation speed of the rotor disk is 5000-15000 rpm.

[0025] (3) The membrane substrate with spray dots is dried to obtain a lithium battery separator.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment describes a system for improving the morphology of sprayed coating points on a lithium battery separator. The system includes a material box, a spray head 1 connected to the material box, a feeding pipe 8 and a return pipe 2 connected to the material box, a rotor 9 on the spray head 1, an ultrasonic disperser 3 and a filter 6 between the return pipe 2 and the feeding pipe 8, an inlet pipe 4 and an outlet pipe 5 on the ultrasonic disperser 3, the inlet pipe 4 connected to the return pipe 2, the outlet pipe 5 connected to the inlet of the filter 6, a filter screen inside the filter 6, and a feeding tank 7 connected to the outlet of the filter 6 for storing the filtered slurry. The feeding tank 7 is connected to the feeding pipe.

[0027] The structure of rotor disk 9 is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it includes a rotating shaft 91, an upper dispersing disk 92 and a lower dispersing disk 93 mounted on the rotating shaft 91, the upper dispersing disk 92 and the lower dispersing disk 93 are spaced apart, and the upper surface of the lower dispersing disk 93 has a texture.

[0028] The slurry flow rate in the feed pipe 4 of the ultrasonic disperser 3 is 500-1500 ml / s, the working temperature inside the ultrasonic disperser 3 is 18-25℃, the power of the ultrasonic disperser 3 is 1000W-3000W, and the frequency of the ultrasonic disperser 3 is 18-50HZ.

[0029] In this embodiment, there are three filters 6 connected in series. The mesh size of the filter screen in each stage is between 40 and 150 mesh, and the mesh size of the filter screen gradually increases along the direction of slurry flow.

[0030] The flow rate of the slurry in the nozzle of the spray head 1 is 400-1500ml / s, and the rotation speed of the rotor disc 9 is 5000-15000rpm.

[0031] The slurry used in this invention is prepared by the following steps: (1) Mix the binder with water and stir to form a homogeneous solution to obtain solution A; (2) Add small amounts of organic polymer to solution A in batches under stirring to obtain slurry B; (3) Grind slurry B through a grinding process to obtain slurry C; (4) Add binder to slurry C and mix evenly to obtain the finished slurry.

[0032] In this embodiment, the system for improving the morphology of sprayed dots on lithium battery separators is used by placing the finished slurry into a hopper and spraying it onto the separator substrate using a spray head. The slurry is atomized under the high-speed shearing action of the rotor disc, resulting in a uniform coating on the separator substrate. Excess slurry is collected in a trough below the spray head and then flows through a return pipe into an ultrasonic disperser. Under the oscillation of the ultrasonic waves, agglomerated organic and inorganic particles in the slurry are dispersed and refined, improving the dispersion degree. The ultrasonically dispersed slurry then enters a filter to remove large particles. This embodiment employs a three-stage filtration process, with each stage progressively increasing precision. After three stages of filtration, no large particles agglomerate in the slurry, resulting in better dispersion. The filtered slurry is stored in a feeding tank and then transported to the spray head through a feeding pipe. Under the high-speed shearing action of the rotor disc, the slurry is atomized and uniformly coated onto the separator substrate, ultimately forming a separator product with uniformly sized and shaped sprayed dots.
