Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of sodium ion batteries, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an aluminum plastic film and application thereof in monitoring swelling gas of a sodium battery package. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of human society and the vigorous development of electric power equipment, it is urgent and critical to develop mature energy storage equipment. Among the many available energy storage technologies, rechargeable ion batteries have attracted much attention in the past few decades because they can successfully convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Among various rechargeable ion batteries, lithium ion batteries and sodium ion batteries occupy an important position, and they have the best overall performance and the most extensive commercial applications. Compared with other rechargeable ion batteries, lithium ion batteries have been successfully commercialized and have penetrated into our daily life with the highest energy-power density. However, due to the supply problem of lithium, sodium has received more and more attention, and sodium ion is considered as the best substitute for lithium ion battery due to its abundant resources and low cost. Sodium and lithium have similar atomic radii and belong to the same alkali metal group, so sodium batteries and lithium ion batteries have similar basic principles and electrochemical characteristics.

[0003] In the application process of sodium ion batteries with ternary materials as the positive electrode, when the battery works abnormally or is charged to above 3.9 volts, a large amount of gas will be generated in the sodium ion battery package, causing the swelling gas phenomenon. This phenomenon will cause the contact between the positive electrode, the separator and the negative electrode in the sodium ion battery to be no longer tight, thereby causing interface problems, and further causing the internal resistance of the battery to increase significantly, which causes the capacity of the battery to decrease significantly, and the cycle performance to decrease significantly. In severe cases, the battery package will have serious volume expansion, thereby affecting the normal use of the entire battery pack; in extreme cases, it will cause fatal safety problems. Therefore, real-time monitoring of the swelling gas condition of the sodium ion battery package is imminent.

[0004] The currently reported battery gas monitoring methods include additional sensors, using negative polarization resistance Rcp monitoring, etc. For example, the invention CN 215869528 U and patent CN 111076655 A both use force-sensitive resistors or pressure sensors fixed on the tab of the battery monomer. When the resistance value changes or the pressure of the pressure sensor changes, it can be fed back to the control system, thereby realizing precise monitoring of the battery gas expansion. However, this method not only greatly increases the cost, but also poses a great challenge to the battery packaging process. Patent CN 106610365 A proposes a lithium battery gas monitoring device, but its essence is a box containing a liquid medium, which occupies a large space and is not suitable for commercial lithium battery monitoring. Patent CN 114487886 A measures the temperature of the battery cell and the negative polarization resistance Rcp value at a specific SOC; based on the obtained Rcp value and the preset rule, the battery cell gas expansion is monitored. However, this method ignores the differences between battery cells and cannot accurately determine the gas expansion. SUMMARY

[0052] The aluminum-plastic film prepared by the application comprises a general aluminum-plastic film main body and a polymer-based functional layer coated on the surface of the CPP layer of the general aluminum-plastic film.

After a very small external voltage is applied to the polymer-based functional layer, the polymer-based functional layer can sensitively reflect the resistance value of the pressure-reduced polymer-based functional layer through the current value of the increased current value. Thus, the swelling gas in the sodium ion battery package can be monitored by monitoring the change of the current of the polymer-based functional layer.

The present application also provides an aluminum-plastic film which can be used to monitor the swelling gas of sodium battery package. Based on the negative pressure resistance characteristics of the polymer-based functional layer, the aluminum-plastic film of the present application can quickly and accurately realize the feedback of the internal gas pressure of the sodium ion battery package, monitor the swelling gas of the sodium battery package; it is suitable for the pulp coating system of sodium ion battery, and is suitable for large-scale commercial production; it occupies small volume and does not increase the process difficulty of the battery production system.

[0062] The conductive filler is a combination of graphene and SP conductive carbon black, and the mass ratio of graphene to SP conductive carbon black in the combination is 3:1; and the obtained polymer-based functional layer is 20 microns thick.

[0063] Example 2: Preparation of aluminum plastic film

[0064] Example 2 and Example 1 differ in that modified PVDF is used to replace PVDF in Example 2, and the modified PVDF is obtained by grafting modification of 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate to PVDF. The specific modification steps are as follows:

[0065] The 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate and the PVDF are dried in a vacuum drying oven at 60 DEG C for 24 hours; the PVDF and the 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate are added to a Haake mixer in a mass ratio of 100:1 for melt blending, and the melt blending conditions are: temperature 90 DEG C, 20 rpm for pre-mixing for 2 min, and 50 rpm for mixing for 5 min, to obtain a PVDF / 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate blend; the PVDF / 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate blend is placed in a flat vulcanizing machine for melt hot pressing; the melt hot pressing conditions are: under a pressure of 15 MPa, first hot pressing at 200 DEG C for 3 min, and then cold pressing at 20 DEG C for 1 min, to obtain a PVDF / 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate blend film; the PVDF / 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate blend film is vacuum packaged and irradiated under electron beam; the irradiation conditions are: room temperature, absorbed dose 45 kGy, current 17 mA, acceleration energy 2.5 MeV, and time 1 h; the irradiated PVDF / 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate blend film is placed in a Soxhlet extractor, extracted with methanol at 110 DEG C for 72 h, dried in a forced air drying oven at 85 DEG C for 12 h, and then pulverized, to obtain modified PVDF, i.e., PVDF-g-1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate.

[0066] Example 3: Preparation of aluminum plastic film

[0067] Example 3 differs from Example 2 in that the amount of modified PVDF used in Example 3 is 50 parts. The method of preparing the modified PVDF is the same as that of Example 2.

[0068] Example 4: Preparation of an aluminum-plastic film

[0069] Example 4 differs from Example 3 in that the amount of conductive filler used in Example 4 is 30 parts.

[0070] Example 5: Preparation of an aluminum-plastic film

[0071] Example 5 differs from Example 3 in that the conductive filler used in Example 5 is replaced by a modified conductive filler. The modified conductive filler is obtained by a method of surface in-situ polymerization, and is polymerized and wrapped around the conductive filler by catechol / p-aminotoluene. The specific experimental steps include:

[0072] 0.2 g of p-aminotoluene and 0.2 g of catechol were weighed, added to 100 mL of Tris-HCl, stirred at room temperature for 3 h, heated 0.1 g of conductive filler, and ultrasonically treated at a frequency of 40 KHz for 1 h to obtain a reaction solution 1. The reaction solution 1 was heated and stirred at 60°C for 10 h, then centrifuged and washed 3 times, and the precipitate was collected by filtration and placed in a 60°C oven for drying for 16 h to obtain the modified conductive filler.

[0073] The conductive filler is a combination of graphene and SP conductive carbon black, and the mass ratio of graphene to SP conductive carbon black in the combination of graphene and SP conductive carbon black is 3:1. The concentration of Tris-HCl is 50 mM, and the pH is 8.8.

[0074] Example 6: Preparation of an aluminum-plastic film

[0075] Example 6 differs from Example 4 in that the conductive filler used in Example 6 is replaced by a modified conductive filler. The method of preparing the modified conductive filler is the same as that of Example 5.

[0076] Test Example 1: Piezoelectric performance test of polymer-based functional layer

[0077] The piezoelectric performance of the polymer-based functional layer of Examples 1-6 was tested. The polymer-based functional layer was cut into 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm as a piezoelectric layer, and a copper foil of the same size was prepared as an electrode and assembled on the upper and lower surfaces of the polymer-based functional layer to construct a piezoelectric nanogenerator. Then the piezoelectric nanogenerator was packaged with polyethylene terephthalate, and the output voltage of the nanogenerator was measured by an electrometer. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0078] Table 1 Piezoelectric performance of polymer-based functional layer

[0079]

[0080] Comparing Example 1 and Example 2, it can be seen that the output voltage value of Example 2 is large, indicating that the modification of PVDF improves the electrical properties of PVDF, and enhances the piezoelectric properties of the polymer-based functional layer of Example 2. Comparing Example 2 and Example 3, it can be seen that the output voltage value of Example 3 is large, indicating that increasing the amount of modified PVDF further improves the output voltage value and enhances the piezoelectric properties of the polymer-based functional layer of Example 3.

[0081] Comparing Example 3 and Example 4, it can be seen that the output voltage value of Example 4 is small, indicating that the increase of conductive fillers degrades the piezoelectric properties of the polymer-based functional layer of Example 4. It is possible that too much conductive filler in the polymer matrix easily agglomerates, and the electromechanical coupling effect with the polymer matrix is poor, resulting in a decrease in the output voltage value.

[0082] Comparing Example 3 and Example 5, it can be seen that the output voltage value of Example 5 is large, indicating that the modification of conductive fillers enhances the piezoelectric properties of the polymer-based functional layer of Example 5. Comparing Example 5 and Example 6, it can be seen that the output voltage of Example 6 is large, indicating that the increase of the amount of modified conductive fillers enhances the piezoelectric properties of the polymer-based functional layer of Example 6, unlike Example 4. It is possible that the modified conductive fillers do not agglomerate in the polymer matrix, and they still have good dispersion in the polymer matrix, thereby enhancing the piezoelectric properties of the polymer-based functional layer of Example 6.

[0083] Test Example 2: Piezoresistive properties of the polymer-based functional layer

[0084] The piezoresistive properties of the polymer-based functional layers of Examples 1-6 were tested. The test leads were bonded to the polymer-based functional layer at both ends with conductive silver paste and were packaged and protected with aluminum foil. The leads were connected to a UTD2102CEX oscilloscope, and a universal electronic tester was used to perform load-unload cycles on the experimental samples. The resistance change rate R / R0 of the samples was recorded by the oscilloscope during the compression process, where R represents the resistance value of the polymer-based functional layer under pressure, and R0 represents the initial resistance value of the polymer-based functional layer without pressure. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0085] Table 2 Piezoresistive properties of the polymer-based functional layer

[0086]

[0087] The polymer-based functional layer will exhibit two phenomena under the action of pressure, and the two phenomena coexist, which are negative piezoresistive effect and positive piezoresistive effect. The former is that when the internal conductive path construction speed of the polymer-based functional layer is greater than the destruction speed with the change of pressure, the resistance of the polymer-based functional layer will decrease. The latter is that when the internal conductive path construction speed of the polymer-based functional layer is less than the destruction speed with the change of pressure, the resistance of the polymer-based functional layer will increase.

[0088] Comparing Example 1 and Example 2, it can be seen that the resistance value of Example 1 becomes larger when the pressure is above 0.8 MPa, and the positive piezoresistive effect appears, which may be because part of the formed conductive path is damaged and it is difficult to form a new conductive path. Example 2 shows a negative piezoresistive effect in the pressure range, which shows that after modification of PVDF, the internal conductive path of the polymer-based functional layer may be improved, and thus the sensitivity of the negative piezoresistive effect of the polymer-based functional layer of Example 2 is improved.

[0089] Comparing Example 2 and Example 3, it can be seen that Example 3 shows a negative piezoresistive effect in the pressure range, and the resistance change rate is large, which shows that increasing the amount of modified PVDF improves the sensitivity of the negative piezoresistive effect of the polymer-based functional layer.

[0090] Comparing Example 3 and Example 4, it can be seen that the resistance value of Example 4 remains unchanged when the pressure is above 0.5 MPa, which shows that increasing the amount of conductive filler is not conducive to the piezoresistive effect of the polymer-based functional layer, and reduces the sensitivity of the negative piezoresistive effect, which may be because too much conductive filler agglomerates to form a conductive path that is difficult to damage, thereby reducing the sensitivity of the negative piezoresistive effect.

[0091] Comparing Example 3 and Example 5, it can be seen that the resistance change rate of Example 5 is large, and Example 5 has better sensitivity of the negative piezoresistive effect, which shows that the modified conductive filler enhances the sensitivity of the polymer-based functional layer, which may be because the modified conductive filler has better dispersibility in the polymer matrix and is more sensitive to pressure changes. Comparing Example 5 and Example 6, it can be seen that the resistance change rate of Example 6 is large, and Example 6 has better sensitivity of the negative piezoresistive effect. Unlike Example 4, the increased modified conductive filler in Example 6 does not keep the resistance value of the polymer-based functional layer unchanged, but further improves the piezoresistive effect of the polymer-based functional layer, which may be because the increased amount of modified conductive filler still has good dispersion in the polymer matrix, thereby improving the internal conductive path of the polymer-based functional layer.

[0092] Preferably, Example 6 has a sensitive resistivity change in the range of 0.1-0.8 MPa, and the polymer-based functional layer of Example 6 has better sensitivity of the negative piezoresistive effect.

[0093] Test Example 3: Structure diagram of aluminum-plastic film

[0094] The structure of the aluminum-plastic film prepared by Example 6 is shown in Figure 1 The common aluminum-plastic film 1 and the polymer-based functional layer 2 coated on the common aluminum-plastic film 1 constitute the aluminum-plastic film of the application, which can monitor the swelling gas of the sodium battery.

[0095] Test Example 4: Application of aluminum-plastic film in monitoring the swelling gas of sodium battery

[0096] The aluminum-plastic film prepared in Example 6 was used for a sodium-ion battery pack, a schematic diagram of which is shown in Figure 2 . The common aluminum-plastic film 1 and the polymer-based functional layer 2 coated on the common aluminum-plastic film 1, and the sodium-ion battery pack 3 enclosed therein constitute the application of the aluminum-plastic film of the present application in monitoring the swelling of the sodium-ion battery pack. After a very small voltage is applied, the pressure condition of the sodium-ion battery pack can be monitored in real time through the piezoresistive effect of the polymer-based functional layer 2, and the swelling problem of the battery pack can be found in time.

[0097] Test Example 5: Negative piezoresistive effect test of the polymer-based functional layer

[0098] The negative piezoresistive effect test was performed on the aluminum-plastic film prepared in Example 6, and the current-pressure relationship diagram of the polymer-based functional layer of Example 7 was obtained at a voltage of 0.1 V, as shown in Figure 3 . The corresponding current was detected by applying different pressures to the polymer-based functional layer. Therefore, when the current value increases significantly, it indicates that the battery pack has a swelling phenomenon.
