Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery separator, in particular to a preparation method of porous cement-based separator regulated by etching method and application thereof in electrochemical energy storage. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the population explosion and deepening of industrialization, the global fossil energy is facing serious problems such as energy depletion and environmental pollution. Under this background, renewable energy represented by solar energy and wind energy ushered in new opportunities for development. However, renewable energy has the characteristics of large fluctuation, strong randomness and intermittency, which is difficult to match with the peak of electricity consumption at the peak of power generation. The energy storage system can smooth the fluctuation of new energy power generation, reduce energy waste and promote the consumption of new energy. Therefore, the development and application of energy storage technology has become the key to promote the development of renewable energy. Current energy storage technologies include mechanical energy storage, electrochemical energy storage, electromagnetic energy storage and electrochemical energy storage. Among them, electrochemical energy storage is widely used in the field of energy storage due to its advantages of reliability, economy, long service life, large capacity, less terrain restriction, flexible operation and quick response.
[0003] The electrochemical energy storage system is composed of electrodes and separators, and is assembled into a sandwich structure according to the "electrode-separator-electrode" structure. Among them, the separator separates the positive and negative electrodes to prevent short circuit and only allows ions to pass to form a charge and discharge circuit, which needs to have the basic properties of electrical insulation, high mechanical strength, rich pore structure and high ionic conductivity. However, the mechanical strength of the existing commercial electrochemical energy storage separator is not high, which is easy to be penetrated by dendrite, and then safety problems are caused. Therefore, the development of new type of separator material is an important means to promote the further development of energy storage technology and new energy.
[0004] The non-flammability, electrical insulation, high mechanical properties and porosity-rich properties of cement-based materials make them have potential as separators. The ion transport performance of cement-based separators is a key factor affecting their electrochemical energy storage. The existing methods for improving the ion transport performance of cement-based separators include adding polymers (such as polyacrylic acid PAA, polyvinyl alcohol PVA, etc.) and pore structure regulation. Polymers can provide additional channels for ion transport, but the polymers are prone to agglomeration during the incorporation process and are prone to dehydration due to the loss of pore solution, thereby causing the internal porosity of the separator to be uneven and the ion transport performance to decrease. Pore structure regulation is a method for improving the porosity of cement-based separators, increasing the pore connectivity and improving the pore size distribution, thereby improving their ion transport performance. This method is simple and convenient to operate, and the method includes changing the mixing ratio, changing the curing conditions and introducing air, etc. Changing the mixing ratio and curing conditions can only limitedly improve the porosity of the material, and its ion transport performance is still poor. Although air entraining can improve the porosity and ion transport performance of the material by introducing a large number of air bubbles, the position and size of the air bubbles are random, so the controllability of the pore structure of the material is poor. The present application provides a new pore structure regulation method, which applies etching method to cement-based separators, uses acidic solution to dissolve the composition of cement-based separators to leave holes, so as to achieve the purposes of expanding the pore size, improving the porosity and improving the pore connectivity, thereby effectively improving the ion transport performance and electrochemical energy storage performance. This method can more effectively regulate the pore structure characteristics of the cement-based separator by optimizing the water-cement ratio and mass loss of the cement paste. SUMMARY
