Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of separator paper technology, and specifically to a dry cell battery separator paper and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Dry cell batteries, also known as disposable batteries, are mainly composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, a separator, and a casing. The separator, typically made of paper or plastic, serves as the material separating the positive and negative electrodes. Its primary function is to prevent direct contact and short circuits between the positive and negative electrodes, and to allow ions in the electrolyte to pass freely between them while preventing electrons from passing freely. Among all the components of a battery, the separator material plays a crucial role, and its quality directly affects battery performance.

[0003] Currently, commercially available separator papers are mainly made of polyethylene and polypropylene. However, stretch membranes made of polyolefins have low porosity, low liquid absorption, and low specific surface energy, resulting in poor affinity for electrolytes and poor dimensional stability. This makes them prone to short circuits caused by contact between the positive and negative electrodes, generating a large amount of heat instantly and potentially leading to battery fires or explosions, thus affecting battery safety. Furthermore, separator papers also need to provide thermal insulation to ensure that the battery can be protected by an automatic shut-off mechanism under abnormal conditions, preventing short circuits and overheating, thereby improving battery safety. Therefore, researchers need to develop separator papers with high porosity, high alkali absorption, good wettability, excellent tensile strength, and good thermal insulation properties. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a dry cell separator paper and its preparation method.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A dry cell battery separator paper consists of two parts: composite fiber paper and reinforcing pulp coated on the surface of the composite fiber paper.

[0007] The reinforcing slurry is obtained by mixing and stirring 2-5 parts of insulating filler, 25-35 parts of polyacrylic acid emulsion and 50-80 parts of deionized water.

[0008] The insulating filler is prepared by the following steps:

[0009] Polyvinylpyrrolidone was dispersed in ethanol, then xylene was added and mixed thoroughly. The mixture was then divided into two equal portions, labeled as solution A1 and solution A2. Silicon carbide nanocrystals were added to solution A1 and dispersed thoroughly to obtain solution B. Aluminum nitrate was added to solution A2 and mixed thoroughly to obtain solution C. Solutions B and C were mixed and sonicated for 10-20 minutes, and the pH was adjusted to 7-12. The mixture was then reacted at 15-35℃ for 40-60 minutes, allowed to stand and age for 2-3 days, centrifuged, washed, and dried. Finally, it was calcined at 600-800℃ for 1.5-3.5 hours to obtain the insulating filler.

[0010] Furthermore, in solutions A1 and A2, the ratio of polyvinylpyrrolidone, ethanol, and xylene is 0.6-1.4 g: 160 mL: 40 mL;

[0011] Furthermore, the concentration of silicon carbide nanocrystals in solution B is 0.1-0.3 mol / L, and the concentration of aluminum nitrate in solution C is 0.2-0.4 mol / L.

[0012] The method for preparing the composite fiber paper includes the following steps:

[0013] Step B1: Mix γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, tetraethyl orthosilicate and mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane in deionized water, then add ammonia and stir for 8-12 hours. Filter, wash and dry to obtain functionalized silica.

[0014] Step B2: Disperse 5-aminoisophthalic acid in dimethylacetamide, add triethylamine and acryloyl chloride sequentially in an ice-water bath, heat to 40-60℃ and react for 3.5-4.5 h, then transfer to deionized water at 10℃ and stir for 10 min, filter, wash and dry to obtain the intermediate product;

[0015] Step B3: Disperse functionalized silica in deionized water, add intermediate product and triethylamine solution sequentially under nitrogen atmosphere, then adjust pH to 9.8-10.2, raise temperature to 75-85℃, react for 6-8 hours, filter, wash and dry to obtain grafted modified silica.

[0016] Step B4: Ultrasonically disperse the grafted modified silica and sodium alginate in deionized water for 30 min, then add glucono-delta-lactone solution under vigorous stirring to form a mixture. Pour the mixture into a mold and let it stand for 30-50 min to form a gel. Then freeze-dry the gel at -60℃ for 48 h to obtain the modified aerogel.

[0017] Step B5: Weigh the raw materials according to the weight parts, add 35-45 parts of polypropylene fiber, 20-30 parts of aramid fiber and 10-20 parts of polyester fiber into the pulper respectively, add deionized water to dissolve for 15-25 minutes, then use a light blade to pulp for 50-60 minutes until the fibers are completely dispersed, and you will get the three fiber pulps.

[0018] Step B6: Transfer the three types of pulp to the mixing tank, add deionized water to prepare a mass percentage concentration of 0.3%-0.7%, then add 1-2 mL of 0.5-1.5 wt% dispersant (carboxymethyl cellulose) and 25-35 parts of modified aerogel and stir to form a mixed pulp. Then dehydrate, press, dry and hot press the mixed pulp on a mesh fabric, and then roll and cut it to obtain composite fiber paper.

[0019] Further, in step B1, the ratio of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, tetraethyl orthosilicate, mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, deionized water, and ammonia is 0.005-0.02 mol: 0.04-0.1 mol: 0.01-0.02 mol: 200 mL: 0.3-0.6 mL;

[0020] Further, in step B2, the ratio of 5-aminoisophthalic acid, dimethylacetamide, triethylamine, acryloyl chloride, and deionized water is 0.05-0.1 mol: 100 mL: 10-20 mL: 0.05-0.1 mol: 100 mL;

[0021] Furthermore, in step B3, the mass ratio of functionalized silica, deionized water, intermediate product and triethylamine solution is 0.5-1.5:100:1-5:1-3, and the triethylamine solution is prepared by mixing triethylamine and deionized water at a mass ratio of 0.5-1:20.

[0022] Furthermore, in step B4, the ratio of grafted modified silica, sodium alginate, deionized water, and glucono-delta-lactone solution is 0.4-1.2g:0.5-1g:50mL:10mL, and the glucono-delta-lactone solution is prepared by mixing glucono-delta-lactone and deionized water at a ratio of 0.3-0.6g:10mL.

[0023] Furthermore, in step B5, the mass percentage concentration of each fiber in the three fiber pulps is 0.5%-1.5%.

[0024] A method for preparing a dry cell battery separator paper includes the following steps:

[0025] The reinforcing slurry is evenly coated on the surface of the composite fiber paper to a thickness of 0.15-0.2 mm, and then dried to obtain the dry cell battery separator paper.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0027] The dry cell separator paper prepared by this invention consists of two parts: composite fiber paper and reinforcing pulp coated on the surface of the composite fiber paper. This separator paper has advantages such as excellent strength, high porosity, high alkali absorption rate, and good wettability.

[0028] The reinforcing filler in the reinforcing slurry is formed by using silicon carbide whiskers as a base and alumina as a coating layer. After being introduced into the slurry, it is coated onto the surface of the composite fiber paper, which can improve the tensile strength and chemical stability of the separator paper. This is because silicon carbide nanocrystals can exert their excellent toughness and strength, thereby improving the tensile strength of the separator paper. At the same time, the alumina coating can utilize its excellent heat insulation properties to prevent short circuits and overheating, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0029] In the composite fiber paper, functionalized silica containing thiol and amino groups is first synthesized using γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, tetraethyl orthosilicate, and mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane as silicon sources; then, an intermediate product containing a double bond structure is synthesized by reacting 5-aminoisophthalic acid and acryloyl chloride; next, graft-modified silica is synthesized by reacting the thiol groups in the functionalized silica with the double bonds in the intermediate product; then, modified aerogel is synthesized using graft-modified silica, sodium alginate, and glucono-delta-lactone as raw materials; finally, composite fiber paper is synthesized using polypropylene fiber, aramid fiber, and polyester fiber as matrix fibers, with the addition of modified aerogel and dispersant. The composite fiber paper uses a blend of polypropylene fiber, aramid fiber, and polyester fiber as the matrix. Polypropylene fiber improves the density and alkali resistance of the dry cell battery separator paper, which helps ensure the pore size and chemical stability of the separator paper. Aramid fiber contains a rigid benzene ring structure, exhibiting excellent heat resistance and oxidation resistance, significantly reducing the thermal shrinkage rate of the separator paper at high temperatures, avoiding battery fire hazards, and greatly improving safety. The introduction of modified aerogel improves the tensile strength, flexibility, and wettability of the separator paper to the electrolyte. This is because the modified aerogel incorporates sodium alginate and hydrophilic silica, which contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, such as amino and carboxyl groups. These groups can form a hydrophilic layer on the surface of the fiber paper, thereby improving the wettability to the electrolyte. Furthermore, the aerogel itself has an excellent pore structure and low mass, which can increase the porosity of the separator paper and reduce its basis weight. Detailed Implementation
