[0262] 5. Preparation of secondary batteries

[0263] The positive electrode sheet, the separator, and the negative electrode sheet are stacked in order, so that the separator is placed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet to play an isolating role, and then they are wound to obtain an electrode assembly; the electrode assembly is placed in an outer package, and the prepared electrolyte is injected into the dried secondary battery. After vacuum packaging, standing, formation, and shaping processes, a secondary battery is obtained.

[0264] The preparation methods of the secondary batteries of Examples 2-15 and Comparative Examples 1-6 are similar to that of the secondary battery of Example 1, except that the isolation membranes are prepared using different processes, as shown in Tables 1-4 for details.

[0265] 3. Battery performance test

[0266] 1. Puncture strength test

[0267] The puncture strength of the base film or isolation film has a well-known meaning in the art, and can be tested using equipment and methods known in the art. For example, the puncture strength can be tested according to the standard: GB / T 10004-2008. Specifically, the sample to be tested can be cut into strips, wherein the width of the strip sample is 100 mm. A test piece with a width of 100 mm is mounted on the sample film fixing clamp ring, and then a steel needle with a diameter of 1.0 mm and a top radius of 0.5 mm is used to puncture at a speed of (50±5) mm / min, and the maximum load of the steel needle penetrating the test piece is read. Usually, 5 parallel test samples can be taken at the same time, and 3 points are measured for each test sample, and the arithmetic mean is taken as the final puncture strength.

[0269] At 25°C, the secondary battery prepared in the embodiment and the comparative example is charged at a constant current of 1C to a charge cut-off voltage V1, then charged at a constant voltage to a current ≤ 0.05C, left to stand for 5 minutes, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.33C to a discharge cut-off voltage V2, left to stand for 5 minutes. This is a charge and discharge cycle. The battery is tested for cyclic charge and discharge according to this method until the battery capacity decays to 80%. The number of cycles at this time is the cycle life of the battery at 25°C.
