Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of copper foil preparation technology, and relates to a polypropylene-based composite copper foil and its preparation method, specifically to a method and application of gel grafting treatment of polypropylene film surface to prepare polypropylene-based composite copper foil. Background Technology

[0002] Composite copper foil with polymer film as the substrate has been widely studied as a negative electrode current collector for lithium batteries in recent years due to its advantages of lightweight and low cost, as well as its excellent performance in improving the puncture resistance of batteries. Compared with polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP) has better thermal stability and is less prone to degradation in lithium batteries, exhibiting very stable performance. However, PP film itself also has certain disadvantages, such as poor surface hydrophilicity and few functional groups, making copper plating on its surface extremely difficult.

[0003] Traditional methods such as ultraviolet (UV) and solution grafting can be used to graft PP film surfaces, and while the results are significant, existing PP film grafting technologies require very long online processing times, ranging from several minutes to several hours, making these methods difficult to apply in industrial production. Furthermore, the UV method suffers from uneven illumination, leading to uneven grafting and subsequent copper plating. Solution grafting requires relatively high temperatures, causing some substances in the system to volatilize, necessitating the addition of a condensation reflux device, making the entire process very complex.

[0004] Therefore, one of the prerequisites for the industrial production of PP composite copper foil is to shorten the online processing time consumed by grafting on the PP film surface and simplify the process flow. This has been a long-term goal for researchers in the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a method and application for gel grafting treatment of polypropylene film surface and preparation of polypropylene-based composite copper foil, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0009] The gel was applied to the surface of a polypropylene film and aged to obtain a surface-carboxylated polypropylene film.

[0010] The surface-carboxylated polypropylene film is sequentially immersed in SnCl2 aqueous solution and silver ammonia solution, and then immersed in copper plating solution for chemical copper plating treatment, thereby depositing a copper layer on the surface of the polypropylene film to obtain polypropylene-based composite copper foil.

[0011] In some embodiments, the copper immersion solution comprises a mixture of copper sulfate, EDTA-2Na, and formaldehyde.

[0012] This invention also provides a polypropylene-based composite copper foil, which is prepared by the aforementioned method.

[0013] Furthermore, the polypropylene-based composite copper foil includes a polypropylene film as a substrate and a copper layer tightly bonded to the surface of the polypropylene film.

[0014] This invention also provides the application of the aforementioned polypropylene-based composite copper foil in the preparation of lithium battery negative electrode current collectors.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0016] The method for gel grafting treatment of polypropylene film surface and preparation of polypropylene-based composite copper foil provided by this invention enables offline grafting of polypropylene film surface, greatly shortening the online processing time of the product and transforming the online process into an offline process. This makes it industrially possible to treat the surface of polypropylene film through chemical grafting.

[0023] Given the shortcomings of existing PP (polypropylene) film grafting technologies, which all require very long online processing times, the inventors of this invention, after extensive research and numerous experiments, have proposed this technical solution. This solution primarily provides a novel PP film grafting technique for the preparation of composite copper foil, employing a novel chemical grafting method for the surface of polypropylene films. This method has not been reported in any previous literature. Because the PP films used are very thin, the area of ​​PP film that the production line needs to process per unit time is very large, depending on production capacity requirements. If the online processing time is too long, it is impossible to construct such a long growth line. The gel grafting technology provided by this invention transforms the online grafting process of PP films into an offline process. It only requires coating the PP film surface with a specially formulated gel, after which it can be rolled up and stored at a rated temperature for a period of time. After this process, the PP film surface exhibits carboxylation. Subsequent chemical copper plating can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The resulting PP-based composite copper foil has the advantages of uniform copper plating and strong adhesion between the copper layer and the substrate.

[0024] The following will provide a further explanation of the technical solution, its implementation process, and its principles.

[0025] As one aspect of the technical solution of this invention, a method for preparing a polypropylene-based composite copper foil includes:

[0026] The mixture containing isobutanol, acrylic acid, selected functional substances and water is thoroughly stirred and mixed to form a gel;

[0027] The gel was applied to the surface of a polypropylene film and aged to obtain a surface-carboxylated polypropylene film.

[0028] The surface-carboxylated polypropylene film is sequentially immersed in SnCl2 aqueous solution and silver ammonia solution, and then immersed in copper plating solution for chemical copper plating treatment, thereby depositing a copper layer on the surface of the polypropylene film to obtain polypropylene-based composite copper foil.

[0029] In some embodiments, the selected functional substance includes any one or a combination of two or more of cellulose, guar gum, and gum arabic. The role of cellulose, guar gum, and gum arabic is to form a gel matrix, transforming the solution system into a gel system.

[0030] In some embodiments, the isobutanol content in the mixed slurry is 0–90 g / L.

[0031] In some embodiments, the acrylic acid content in the mixed slurry is 2 to 300 g / L.

[0032] In some embodiments, the total content of the selected functional substances in the mixed slurry is 1 to 200 g / L.

[0033] In some embodiments, the temperature of the mixed slurry during stirring is 0–90°C, and the stirring time is 10 min–72 h.

[0034] In some embodiments, the preparation method includes coating the gel onto the surface of a polypropylene film with a coating thickness of 5 μm to 10 mm.

[0035] In some embodiments, the preparation method includes: winding up a polypropylene film and placing it in a constant temperature environment for the aging treatment, wherein the temperature is 0 to 150°C and the time is 20 min to 96 h.

[0036] In some embodiments, the concentration of the SnCl2 aqueous solution is 1–20 g / L.

[0037] Furthermore, the polypropylene film is immersed in SnCl2 aqueous solution for 10 seconds to 30 minutes. The purpose of immersing the surface-carboxylated polypropylene film in SnCl2 is to sensitize it, facilitating the subsequent deposition of silver ions on the modified polypropylene film.

[0038] In some embodiments, the concentration of the silver ammonia solution is 0.1–5 wt%.

[0039] Furthermore, the polypropylene film is immersed in the silver ammonia solution for 2 to 30 minutes, which allows the surface of the treated polypropylene film to adsorb a layer of silver ions, giving the substrate surface catalytic activity and enabling the rapid and uniform formation of a copper layer on the substrate surface.

[0040] In some embodiments, the copper immersion solution comprises a mixture of copper salt, EDTA-2Na, and formaldehyde.

[0041] Specifically, the concentration of copper salt in the copper precipitation solution is 0.01 mol / L to 2 mol / L, the concentration of EDTA-2Na is 0.02 mol / L to 1 mol / L, and the formaldehyde content is 5 mL / L to 30 mL / L.

[0042] Furthermore, the copper salt may be copper sulfate, but is not limited thereto.

[0043] In some embodiments, the temperature of the copper plating solution is 20°C to 80°C during the chemical copper plating process.

[0044] Furthermore, the time for the chemical copper plating treatment is 30 seconds to 1 hour.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the preparation mechanism of this invention is as follows: a novel gel grafting method is used to graft polypropylene (PP) film surface. Utilizing the property of gels to fix liquid molecules and prevent volatile substances, the grafting solution remains on the PP film surface for a long time. First, a mixture containing water, isobutanol, acrylic acid, cellulose, guar gum, and gum arabic is stirred to form a gel, which is then uniformly coated on the PP film surface. The film is then wound up and aged under a set stable condition for a period of time to carboxylate the PP film surface. Afterward, the treated PP film is washed clean and successively immersed in SnCl2 aqueous solution and silver ammonia solution. Finally, it undergoes chemical copper plating in a mixed solution of EDTA-2Na, copper sulfate, and formaldehyde to obtain PP-based composite copper foil.

[0046] In one of the more preferred embodiments, a method for gel grafting polypropylene film surface treatment and preparing composite copper foil includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: Add isobutanol, acrylic acid, cellulose, guar gum, and gum arabic to water and stir until homogeneous. In this aqueous slurry, the isobutanol content is between 0 and 90 g / L, and the acrylic acid content is between 2 and 300 g / L. Cellulose, guar gum, and gum arabic can be added in their entirety, or one or two can be added, with the total amount added in the slurry between 1 and 200 g / L; the slurry temperature during stirring is between 0 and 90°C, and the stirring time is between 10 minutes and 72 hours.

[0048] Step 2: The well-stirred slurry will eventually become a gel. Coat the surface of the polypropylene film with a thickness between 5 μm and 10 mm. Roll up the polypropylene film and place it in a constant temperature environment between 0 and 150°C for 20 min to 96 h.

[0049] Step 3: Remove the polypropylene film after placement and wash off the gel on the surface; then soak it in an aqueous SnCl2 solution with a SnCl2 concentration between 1 and 20 g / L and a soaking time between 10 seconds and 30 minutes.

[0050] Step 4: Remove the polypropylene film and immerse it again in a silver ammonia solution. The concentration of Ag(NH3)2OH in the silver ammonia solution is between 0.1 wt% and 5 wt%, and the immersion time is between 2 min and 30 min.

[0051] Step 5: Remove the treated polypropylene film and immerse it in a chemical copper plating solution. The copper plating solution consists of: copper sulfate concentration between 0.01 mol / L and 2 mol / L, EDTA-2Na concentration between 0.02 mol / L and 1 mol / L, and formaldehyde concentration between 5 mL / L and 30 mL / L. The temperature of the copper plating solution is between 20℃ and 80℃, and the copper plating time is between 30 seconds and 1 hour. Afterward, the polypropylene-based composite copper foil material is obtained.

[0052] In summary, this invention employs a novel gel coating method that overcomes the disadvantage of long online processing times in traditional polypropylene membrane surface grafting. By using an offline processing method for membrane surface grafting, the online processing time is significantly shortened, transforming an online process into an offline one. This makes chemical grafting a viable method for functionalizing polypropylene membrane surfaces in industrial production. Based on this, a polypropylene-based composite copper foil with a uniform copper layer and strong adhesion to the substrate is prepared through chemical plating. The hydrophilicity of the polypropylene membrane surface after gel grafting treatment is significantly enhanced, and the number of functional groups is significantly increased, providing a good foundation for subsequent chemical copper plating.

[0053] As another aspect of the technical solution of the present invention, it also relates to a polypropylene-based composite copper foil, which is prepared by the aforementioned preparation method.

[0054] Furthermore, the polypropylene-based composite copper foil includes a polypropylene film as a substrate and a copper layer tightly bonded to the surface of the polypropylene film.

[0055] Furthermore, the thickness of the copper layer is 0.1 μm to 10 μm.

[0056] Furthermore, the peel strength of the polypropylene-based composite copper foil is 2 MPa to 10 MPa.

[0057] The polypropylene-based composite copper foil prepared by this invention is very stable, and the copper layer has good adhesion to the substrate.

[0058] This invention also provides applications of the aforementioned polypropylene-based composite copper foil. For example, the polypropylene-based composite copper foil can be used as a current collector for lithium battery anodes, and has good application prospects in the preparation of lithium battery anodes.

[0059] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings.

The copper plating solution consisted of 0.5 mol / L copper sulfate, 0.3 mol / L EDTA-2Na, and 15 mL / L formaldehyde. The solution temperature was 50℃, and the plating time was 2 minutes. This yielded a polypropylene-based composite copper foil material.

[0066] The actual image of the polypropylene-based composite copper foil obtained by electroless copper plating after gel grafting in this embodiment is shown in the figure below. Figure 5 As shown, its thickness is 1 μm and its peel strength is 5 MPa.

This yielded a polypropylene-based composite copper foil material with a thickness of 3 μm and a peel strength of 6 MPa.

[0071] Compare with Example 1

[0072] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that no cellulose, guar gum, or gum arabic was added to the aqueous slurry.

[0073] Without the addition of the aforementioned cellulose, guar gum, gum arabic, and other components, this control example cannot retain water, causing the water in the system to evaporate rapidly at high temperatures, rendering the grafting scheme ineffective.

[0074] Compare with Example 2

[0075] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the step of soaking in an aqueous SnCl2 solution is omitted.

[0076] This comparative example lacks a sensitization process, which prevents the polymer surface from effectively adsorbing silver ions and thus prevents the deposition of a copper layer.

[0077] Compare with Example 3

[0078] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the step of soaking in silver ammonia solution is omitted.

[0079] This comparative example lacks an activation process, which prevents the polymer surface from effectively adsorbing silver ions and thus hinders the deposition of a copper layer. Therefore, both sensitization and activation steps are indispensable for the deposition of a copper layer.

[0080] In addition, the inventors of this case also conducted experiments with other raw materials and conditions listed in this specification, referring to Examples 1-5, and similarly obtained polypropylene-based composite copper foil with uniform copper layer and strong adhesion to the substrate.
