Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery cell coating film, and particularly relates to a battery cell coating film and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In battery manufacturing technology, the battery cell is the core component of a battery, and its quality directly affects the battery's performance and safety. A battery cell typically consists of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte. The separator's function is to isolate the positive and negative electrodes, preventing direct contact and short circuits. However, during the cell assembly process, if the casing accidentally punctures the separator, it may cause the separator to rupture, leading to a partial short circuit within the cell. This can severely impact the battery's performance and safety.

[0003] To address this issue, several solutions already exist in the existing technology. For example, high-strength diaphragm materials can be used to improve the diaphragm's puncture resistance. Alternatively, special handling methods can be employed during the cell assembly process to prevent the casing from puncturing the diaphragm. Furthermore, some technical solutions involve improving the cell design, such as adding a protective layer, to prevent the casing from puncturing the diaphragm.

[0004] However, existing technical solutions still have some problems. First, while high-strength separator materials can improve the separator's puncture resistance, they may increase battery costs and potentially affect other battery performance aspects, such as electrolyte permeability and ion transport. Second, using special handling methods to prevent the casing from puncturing the separator not only increases operational complexity but may also affect the efficiency of cell insertion. While special cell treatments, such as wrapping the cells with a protective film, are convenient, they require high-quality films with specific requirements, including electrolyte resistance and adhesion. Therefore, selecting a suitable protective film to effectively prevent the casing from puncturing the separator while ensuring battery performance and safety is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to provide a battery cell coating film with good structural strength and electrolyte resistance, the present invention provides a battery cell coating film and its application.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a battery cell coating film is provided, the battery cell coating film comprising a substrate layer and a thermosensitive layer; the thermosensitive layer comprises polyethylene and polypropylene, wherein the polyethylene comprises polyethylene elastomer, low-density polyethylene, and polyethylene derivatives; the polyethylene derivatives comprise at least one of ethylene-acrylate copolymers and copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate. The polyethylene elastomer is a thermoplastic elastomer having a narrow relative molecular mass distribution and a uniform short-chain distribution, and can be divided into two types: polymers of ethylene and butene, and polymers of ethylene and octene; while low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic plastic obtained by free radical polymerization of ethylene under high pressure.

[0007] The inventors discovered that, in practical applications, in addition to requiring good electrolyte resistance, high-temperature resistance, and adhesion, the cell coating film also needs to achieve suitable structural strength to improve the problems of peeling and slippage that are common in existing cell coating films. Through experiments, the inventors found that when the cell coating film is too hard, it is prone to peeling at the corners during cell insertion. Furthermore, excessive hardness may reduce electrolyte permeability and ion transport during battery cycling, thus affecting the battery's cycle performance and other electrochemical properties. Conversely, when the cell coating film is too soft, it is prone to slippage and difficulty in securing during installation. Therefore, in view of the problems found in the prior art and by the inventors, the present invention introduces polypropylene and various special polyethylenes into the heat-sensitive layer, which not only provides suitable structural strength for the battery cell coating film, making the battery cell coating film have good toughness and elasticity and improving problems such as lifting and slippage, but also endows the battery cell coating film with good electrolyte resistance and high temperature resistance, that is, the battery cell coating film still has good bonding strength when immersed in electrolyte.

[0008] Preferably, the ethylene-acrylate copolymer includes at least one of ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene-ethyl acrylate-maleic anhydride copolymer, and ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer. The ethylene-acrylate copolymer can significantly improve the adhesion between the heat-sensitive layer and the adjacent layer, and improve the flexibility and high-temperature resistance of the heat-sensitive layer.

[0009] Preferably, the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate includes ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVM), in which the mass fraction of vinyl acetate is 0.4-0.6%. Compared with ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA, with a mass fraction of vinyl acetate of 0.05-0.2%), EVM has lower branching and higher crystallinity, which helps to improve the temperature resistance, solvent resistance, and aging resistance of the heat-sensitive layer.

[0010] Preferably, the melt index of ethylene ethylene rubber (EVM) is 25-28 g / 10 min.

[0011] Preferably, the polyethylene elastomer is an ethylene-octene copolymer (POE), and the crystallinity of the octene end in the ethylene-octene copolymer is 30-50%.

[0012] Preferably, the density of the ethylene-octene copolymer is 0.89–0.95 g / cm³. 3 .

[0013] Preferably, the density of the ethylene-octene copolymer is 2.5 to 4.0 g / 10 min.

[0014] Preferably, the low-density polyethylene is linear low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with a crystallinity ≥24.5%. LDPE exhibits low-temperature toughness, high modulus, flexural strength, puncture strength, and tear strength. However, the presence of cross-linked polymers (such as cross-linked α-olefins in LDPE) or impurities in the heat-sensitive layer can reduce the crystallinity of the LDPE, affecting its melt dispersion and potentially forming crystal points in the heat-sensitive layer, thus impacting the film-forming properties of the battery cell coating. This invention addresses these issues by selecting LDPE with relatively high crystallinity and low cross-linked polymer and oxidizing impurity content.

[0015] Preferably, the linear low-density polyethylene has a melt index of 1.5–2.5 g / 10 min and a melting point of 110–130 °C.

[0016] Preferably, the polypropylene includes block copolymer polypropylene with a crystallinity of 75-90%. Block copolymerized polypropylene (PPB) is produced by copolymerizing polypropylene with another olefinic monomer. Industrially, it is mostly prepared by copolymerizing propylene with a small amount of ethylene, thus PPB has high toughness. However, its application in the battery cell field is greatly limited by its poor low-temperature impact resistance, large molding shrinkage, and poor heat resistance. This invention improves these problems by combining linear low-density polyethylene and polyethylene derivatives.

[0017] Preferably, the melt index of the block copolymer polypropylene is 5 to 12 g / 10 min.

[0018] Preferably, the heat-sensitive layer further includes at least one of a tackifying resin and a processing aid.

[0019] Preferably, the tackifying resin includes hydrogenated petroleum resin.

[0020] Preferably, the heat-sensitive layer comprises 25-35 parts polypropylene, 20-45 parts polyethylene elastomer, 10-25 parts low-density polyethylene, and 10-25 parts polyethylene derivative, calculated by weight.

[0021] Preferably, the heat-sensitive layer further includes 2 to 10 parts of tackifying resin and 0.05 to 1 part of processing aid, calculated by weight.

[0022] Preferably, the heat-sensitive layer is prepared by co-extrusion or blow molding.

[0023] Preferably, the substrate layer comprises a first film layer, a second film layer, and a third film layer arranged sequentially; wherein the first film layer comprises polyethylene terephthalate (PET); the second film layer comprises ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA); and the third film layer comprises unstretched polypropylene (CPP). In the prior art, PET has good puncture resistance, and CPP has good stiffness, similar polarity to the separator, and good solvent resistance. However, in the prior art, the polarity difference between CPP and PET and the adhesive layer is large, resulting in poor adhesion and easy detachment of the CPP layer. In this invention, on the one hand, by utilizing EVA to tightly bond PET and CPP, a good protective effect can be provided for the battery cell coating film; on the other hand, in the battery cell coating film provided by this invention, the first film layer, the second film layer, the third film layer, and the thermosensitive layer are arranged sequentially. By introducing a polyethylene derivative into the thermosensitive layer, this invention enables the thermosensitive layer and the third film layer to have a good bonding effect, ensuring that they do not detach during long-term use.

[0024] Preferably, the thickness ratio is calculated as follows: first thin film layer: second thin film layer: third thin film layer = (1~3): 1: (0.5~2).

[0025] Preferably, the substrate layer is prepared by co-extrusion or blow molding.

[0026] Preferably, the raw materials for preparing the first film layer, the second film layer, and the third film layer are melt-blended and extruded into masterbatch at 200-250°C, and then co-extruded to obtain a substrate layer in which the first film layer, the second film layer, and the third film layer are stacked sequentially.

[0027] Preferably, the thickness of the cell coating film is 50–100 μm, and the thickness of the thermosensitive layer is 2–10 μm. In the prior art, the thickness of the cell coating film is generally above 100 μm. This is due to two factors: firstly, the practical requirements for the cell coating film to protect against punctures and resist electrolytes; and secondly, the need for ease of manufacturing processes using the protective film itself. However, thicker protective films increase material and manufacturing costs and encroach on valuable internal space within the cell, reducing its energy density. This invention, through the arrangement of the thermosensitive layer and the substrate layer, can maintain good electrolyte resistance, high-temperature resistance, and adhesion properties at a lower thickness, and improves upon the problems of peeling and slippage that easily occur in existing cell coating films.

[0028] A second aspect of the present invention provides a battery comprising a cell coating film as described above. Attached Figure Description

[0077] Test case

[0078] 1. Test Object

[0079] The cell wrapping films prepared in Examples 1-14 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were cut into 25mm*150mm samples.

[0080] 2. Testing Methods

[0081] (1) Peel force test: According to the national standard GB / T88081988, the test object is subjected to peel force test at a speed of 300mm / min and 180° stretching in an environment of 23±2℃ and relative humidity of 50±5%.

[0082] (2) Electrolyte peel strength test: According to the national standard GB / T 11547-2008, the test object is hot-pressed with PP film at 0.5MPa and 150℃ for 2 seconds, then soaked in electrolyte at 85±5℃ for 4 hours, and then removed. The residual electrolyte is wiped off with lint-free paper, and then left to stand at room temperature for 12 hours. The PP film is then fixed to the steel plate with double-sided tape, and the tape is pulled apart with a peel strength tester at a speed of 300mm / min.

[0083] (3) Heat shrinkage rate test: According to the national standard GBT 34848-2017, the test object is kept at 110℃ for 48 hours and then naturally cooled to room temperature. The change rate of the length of the test object before and after heat preservation is tested.

[0084] (4) Puncture strength (RPS) test: According to the national standard GB / T 37841-2019, the test object is subjected to puncture resistance test at a speed of 50 mm / min in an environment of 23±2℃ and 50±10% relative humidity.

[0085] (5) Appearance performance of cell coating film: Observe whether the test object has problems such as falling off, slipping, delamination, or lifting during use (such as laying, hot pressing, and shell insertion). If there are no problems such as falling off, slipping, delamination, or lifting, “O” indicates qualified. If at least one of the following conditions occurs, “X” indicates unqualified.

[0086] 3. Test Results and Analysis

[0087] The test results for this test example are shown in Table 3. In Examples 1-8, the performance of the battery cell coating film provided in Examples 1-8 was affected because different polyethylene derivatives were selected to prepare the thermosensitive layer. Examples 1-4 show that when at least one of ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene-ethyl acrylate-maleic anhydride copolymer, and ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer is selected as the polyethylene derivative, the adhesion between the thermosensitive layer and the substrate layer, as well as its high-temperature resistance, can be significantly enhanced. The test data from Examples 1 and 5-6 show that although EVA is also a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, the introduction of EVM in the battery cell coating film provided by this invention can better enhance the high-temperature resistance of the thermosensitive layer. Furthermore, although the VA mass fraction of EVM can be between 0.4 and 0.8 in the prior art, experiments have shown that in the battery cell coating film provided by this invention, when the VA mass fraction of EVM is between 0.4 and 0.6, it has better electrolyte resistance. By comparing Examples 1 and 7-8, it can be seen that good electrolyte resistance can be achieved by using only ethylene-acrylate copolymer or ethylene and vinyl acetate copolymer in the thermosensitive layer; furthermore, when ethylene-acrylate copolymer and ethylene and vinyl acetate copolymer are used together, the electrolyte resistance of the cell coating film can be further enhanced.

[0088] Comparison of Examples 1 and 9-10 confirms that when the polyethylene elastomer is an ethylene-octene copolymer, and the crystallinity of the octene end in the ethylene-octene copolymer is 30-50%, the battery cell coating film exhibits better peel strength. Furthermore, when the low-density polyethylene is LLDPE and the crystallinity of LLDPE is ≥24.5%, the heat-sensitive layer in the battery cell coating film shows better toughness. In Example 10, it is evident that when the polypropylene is PPB and the crystallinity of PPB is 75-90%, it exhibits high toughness. Combined with Comparative Example 1, it is clear that by incorporating polyethylene derivatives, the poor high-temperature resistance of PPB can be improved.

[0089] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 12, the formulation of the thermosensitive layer also affects its performance. The thermosensitive layer provided in Example 12 has better puncture resistance due to its higher rigidity, but its electrolyte resistance and high temperature resistance are somewhat reduced.

[0090] As can be seen from Examples 13-14, compared with the multilayer structure of the substrate layer in Example 1, the overall performance of the cell coating film provided in Examples 13-14 is reduced to varying degrees.

[0091] Comparative Examples 1-3 show that polyethylene elastomer, low-density polyethylene, and polyethylene derivatives have a synergistic effect. The absence of any one of them will simultaneously lead to problems such as detachment, slippage, delamination, and warping of the battery cell coating film. Therefore, the combination of polyethylene elastomer, low-density polyethylene, and polyethylene derivatives can achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts (1+1>2). Furthermore, as shown in Comparative Example 4, the addition of polypropylene can effectively improve the structural strength of the battery cell coating film, ensuring it reaches a suitable strength and preventing warping and slippage during use.
