Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of powder fiberization processing equipment, in particular to a high-efficiency fiberization unit and a material fiberization method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the dry electrode film forming process, the fibrillation process of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a key technical link that determines the performance of the electrode. Currently, the mainstream methods of PTFE fiberization mainly include three kinds: shear fiberization by high-speed mixer, impact fiberization by air jet mill, and fiberization material preparation by double screw extruder. Although these methods have their own characteristics, they all face some common challenges in practical application.
[0003] First of all, no matter which process route, there is a common problem of open fiberization environment space in the operation process, which leads to poor controllability and difficulty in ensuring the consistency of fiber network structure. Specifically: when using a high-speed mixer for shear fiberization, due to the uneven distribution of powder particles in the shear field, local over-shearing and under-shearing phenomena coexist, which directly affects the quality of the final product. Although the air jet mill impact fiberization can achieve effective collision and dispersion of the powder by means of high-speed airflow, the instability of the turbulent field makes the degree of fiberization fluctuate greatly, making it difficult to maintain stable product quality. Although the double screw extruder mechanical fiberization has the advantage of continuous production, it is difficult to accurately control the global shear strength due to the influence of the complex flow field characteristics of the screw meshing area, thereby affecting the uniformity and effect of fiberization.
[0004] The common core problem of the above processes is the failure to build a stable and accurately controllable fiberization dynamics environment. As a result, the final powder not only contains short PTFE fibers formed by excessive disentanglement, but also residual agglomerated particles that have not been fully fibrillated. This heterogeneity in microstructure will directly adversely affect the consistency of the mechanical strength and ion transport performance of the electrode film. SUMMARY
