Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium battery separators, and specifically relates to a lithium battery separator and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, the development of high-energy power equipment, especially the lithium battery industry, has been promoted worldwide. Lithium batteries are used as a commonly used energy storage device with broad market prospects and rapid development due to their relatively high working voltage, specific energy, fast charge and discharge, and high safety performance.

[0003] A lithium battery mainly consists of four functional components: a positive electrode, an electrolyte, a separator, and a negative electrode. In the structure of a lithium battery, the separator is one of the key inner components. Although the separator does not participate in the chemical reactions in the lithium-ion battery, it plays a crucial role in the performance and safety of the lithium battery. Its main function is to separate the positive and negative electrodes of the battery to prevent the battery from short-circuiting due to the contact between the positive and negative electrodes, prevent the diffusion of by-products (such as lithium dendrites) from the oxidation-reduction reaction of the positive and negative electrode materials, and at the same time provide a channel for the migration of lithium ions.

[0004] As lithium batteries become more and more complex, the performance requirements for separators are also getting higher and higher. Currently, the most commonly used lithium battery separator materials on the market are polyolefin separators such as polyethylene and polypropylene. However, these materials have low thermal stability themselves, and will deform and shrink in size when heated at high temperatures, resulting in poor safety and easy to cause safety accidents such as short circuits. Polyolefin materials lack polar functional groups, have low compatibility with high-polarity electrolytes, resulting in poor wettability and large impedance during ion migration. In addition, the oxygen index of polyethylene and polypropylene is low, and the flame retardant performance is poor. Once a fire accident occurs, these separators are extremely easy to ignite, and there is a risk of dripping and spreading the fire, which cannot meet the requirements of lithium-ion battery equipment in high-end fields. Therefore, it is urgent to invent a separator with excellent heat resistance, wettability and flame retardant performance to meet the higher requirements in the technical field of lithium battery separators. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a lithium battery separator and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A preparation method of a lithium battery separator includes the following steps:

[0008] After putting ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene into a pulverizer for pulverization, it is mixed with a pore-forming agent at high speed, and then modified nano-silicon nitride, modified chitosan, an initiator, and an antioxidant are added to a twin-screw extruder for melt blending and extrusion, followed by cooling and shaping, and then longitudinal stretching and transverse stretching to obtain a film. After immersing the film in ultrapure water for 1-2 hours, it is taken out, subjected to high-temperature heat setting, and wound up to prepare a lithium battery separator.

[0009] Further, the raw materials are as follows by weight: 40-60 parts of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, 20-32 parts of pore-forming agent, 6-10 parts of modified nano-silicon nitride, 5-15 parts of modified chitosan, 0.1-0.2 parts of initiator, and 1-3 parts of antioxidant.

[0010] Further, the pore-forming agent is prepared by compounding polyvinyl alcohol and glycerol in a mass ratio of 1:3.

[0011] Further, the high-speed mixing and stirring time is 10-20 min, and the stirring speed of the mixer is 2000-3000 r / min.

[0012] Further, the heat setting temperature is 120-150 .

[0013] Further, the initiator is one of benzoyl peroxide and lauroyl peroxide.

[0014] Further, the antioxidant is a hindered phenol antioxidant.

[0015] The pore-forming agent is prepared by compounding polyvinyl alcohol and glycerol, which has strong water solubility and can form a microporous structure when dissolved in water. It has the advantages of low cost, high environmental protection, good pore size consistency, high air permeability, and no closed pores.

[0016] Further, the modified nano-silicon nitride is prepared by the following steps:

[0017] At room temperature, nano-silicon nitride and an ethanol aqueous solution are added to a flask and stirred at high speed for 15 min under a high-shear mixing emulsifier. Vinyltrimethoxysilane (silane coupling agent KH-171) is added, and stirring is continued at high speed for 45 min under the high-shear mixing emulsifier. After the reaction is completed, filtration, vacuum drying, and grinding are carried out to obtain modified nano-silicon nitride.

[0018] Further, the dosage ratio of the nano-silicon nitride, ethanol aqueous solution, and vinyltrimethoxysilane is 2 g:100 mL:4.5 g.

[0019] Nano-silicon nitride is a ceramic powder with excellent properties, having good high-temperature resistance and mechanical properties. By modifying nano-silicon nitride, the surface hydrophobicity of nano-silicon nitride is improved, the compatibility between nano-silicon nitride and the polyethylene matrix is enhanced, the agglomeration phenomenon of nano-silicon nitride is alleviated, and the properties of nano-silicon nitride can be fully exerted, greatly enhancing the heat resistance and mechanical properties of the matrix. Moreover, the modified nano-silicon nitride also contains carbon-carbon double bonds and can crosslink with the matrix to further enhance the mechanical strength of the matrix.

[0020] Further, the modified chitosan is prepared by the following steps:

[0021] S1. Mix 4-hydroxystyrene and toluene, and add them into a three-necked round-bottom flask equipped with a thermometer, a magnetic stirring system and a spherical condenser. Under the condition of an ice-water bath, slowly dropwise add a formaldehyde solution (mass fraction 24%), and continuously stir for 30 min. Then add 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone, and control the reaction temperature at 65 , keep the temperature for reaction for 6 h. After the reaction is completed, cool to room temperature, rotary evaporate to remove the solvent, and then purify by column chromatography (the eluent uses a mixed solvent of benzene / ethyl acetate, and the volume ratio of the two is 3:1). Rotary evaporate to remove the eluent to obtain intermediate 1. The dosage ratio of 4-hydroxystyrene, toluene, formaldehyde solution, and 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone is 11.9 g:100 mL:30 mL:25.1 g;

[0022] 4-Hydroxystyrene reacts with 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone to obtain intermediate 1. The specific reaction process is as follows:

[0023]

[0024] S2. In a three-necked flask equipped with a stirring device, mix glutaraldehyde, intermediate 1, piperidine (condensing agent) and toluene and stir evenly. Then control the reaction temperature at 60 , keep the temperature for reaction for 6 h. After the reaction is completed, naturally cool, distill under reduced pressure to remove the solvent, and then purify by column chromatography (the eluent uses a mixed solvent of benzene / ethyl acetate, and the volume ratio of the two is 3:2). Rotary evaporate to remove the eluent to obtain intermediate 2. The dosage ratio of glutaraldehyde, intermediate 1, piperidine, and toluene is 12.2 g:39.2 g:15 mL:120 mL;

[0025] Under the action of the condensing agent, the amino group on intermediate 1 condenses with the aldehyde group on glutaraldehyde to form an imine group (C=N Schiff base structure). By controlling the molar ratio of the two to be close to 1:1 and glutaraldehyde being slightly in excess, only one aldehyde group on glutaraldehyde participates in the reaction to obtain intermediate 2. The specific reaction process is as follows:

[0026]

[0027] S3. Add chitosan to a mixed solution of acetic acid and toluene (the mass fraction of acetic acid is 28%), stir until completely dissolved, then add intermediate 2 and piperidine. After stirring and reacting at room temperature for 1 h, add sodium hydroxide solution (mass fraction 35%) to adjust the pH to 9, and continue to react for 3 h. After the reaction is completed, let it stand for precipitation, filter, wash successively with ethanol and water, and dry in an oven to obtain modified chitosan; the dosage ratio of the mixed solution of acetic acid and toluene, chitosan, intermediate 2, and piperidine is 100 mL:5 g:8.5 g:20 mL;

[0028] Under the action of a condensing agent, the aldehyde group on intermediate 2 condenses with the amino group on chitosan to form an imino group (C=N Schiff base structure), obtaining modified chitosan;

[0029] Chitosan is a polysaccharide. A large number of hydroxyl groups in the molecule can promote the dehydration and carbonization of the polyethylene matrix, convert the matrix into a high-concentration carbon layer, and improve the flame retardancy of the matrix; moreover, a large number of ether groups are contained in the main chain of chitosan, enabling chitosan to adsorb polysulfides, improving the conductivity of the battery, the utilization rate of active substance sulfur, and the rate performance; in addition, by modifying chitosan, the interfacial compatibility between chitosan and polyethylene can be improved, enabling the performance of modified chitosan to be fully exerted; furthermore, the modified chitosan molecule also contains diphenyl sulfone, benzoxazine, Schiff base, and carbon-carbon double bond structures. Among them, diphenyl sulfone has good high-temperature resistance and thermal oxidation resistance, and generates SO2, sulfurous acid, and water by thermal desulfurization, which can promote the Fries rearrangement reaction of the silicone rubber matrix and accelerate the carbonization of the matrix, effectively enhancing the flame retardancy of the matrix; the introduced benzoxazine can further enhance the heat resistance of the matrix; the C=N double bond in the Schiff base structure can generate a carbon-nitrogen six-membered ring at high temperature. This kind of six-membered ring structure enables the matrix to form a stable cross-linked network, which can cooperate with diphenyl sulfone to greatly enhance the flame retardancy of the matrix; finally, introducing carbon-carbon double bonds into the modified chitosan can generate cross-linking with the matrix. Because the modified chitosan molecule contains a large number of hydroxyl groups, it can enhance the hydrophilicity of the matrix, enabling the separator to have good adsorption affinity with the electrolyte, reducing the impedance of ion migration, and improving the long-cycle performance of the battery.

[0030] It should be added that grafting an organic molecular chain onto chitosan can improve the migration resistance and exudation resistance of organic small molecules and improve the stability of the performance of modified chitosan.

[0031] Advantages of the present invention:

[0032] 1. The pore-forming agent for the lithium battery separator prepared by the present invention is prepared by compounding polyvinyl alcohol and glycerol, has strong water solubility, and the obtained separator has good pore size consistency, high air permeability, and no closed pores;

[0033] 2. Modify nano-silicon nitride. Compared with ordinary nano-silicon nitride, it has better compatibility with the matrix, reduces the agglomeration phenomenon, and can significantly enhance the mechanical strength and heat resistance of the separator.

[0034] 3. The prepared modified chitosan can significantly enhance the surface wettability, heat resistance and flame retardancy of the lithium battery separator, and its performance is long-term stable, not easy to fall off, and can also enhance the long-cycle performance of the battery.

[0035] Therefore, the separator prepared by the present invention has good pore size consistency, high air permeability, excellent mechanical strength, and stable and efficient surface wettability, heat resistance and flame retardancy, and has important application value in the technical field of lithium battery separators.
