Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composite separator, particularly a composite separator with high temperature stability. Background Art

[0002] With the vigorous development of consumer electronics, wearable devices, electric vehicles, industrial energy storage fields, etc., the demand for the safety and energy density of lithium-ion batteries is increasing day by day. As an important insulating porous material in the battery, the separator also has the need to further improve its physical properties. In order to further ensure the safety of lithium-ion batteries, it is necessary for the separator for lithium-ion batteries to improve its high temperature tolerance and reduce the thermal shrinkage rate at high temperatures to prevent the electrodes from contacting each other during abnormal applications and causing thermal runaway.

[0003] The separator of a lithium-ion battery uses a polyolefin material as the base material, that is, polyethylene (PE) / or polypropylene (PP). It can be mainly divided into two types: dry stretching and wet stretching. Basically, both methods melt the polymer through an extrusion process to form a film, and then manufacture suitable pores by stretching. The dry separator is usually thicker and can be produced by multi-layer stacking. It has high safety and low cost under high power. While the wet separator, due to its thin thickness, high porosity, and high pore size uniformity, is suitable for coating a ceramic coating on the surface of a polyolefin base material to form a composite separator to reduce its thermal shrinkage rate to provide safety. However, when using a resin binder to bond ceramic particles, the resin binder is prone to a decrease in strength at high temperatures, and even structural damage and thermal decomposition may occur, resulting in a significant decrease in the anti-shrinkage property of the composite separator. It is known that the anti-thermal shrinkage of the composite separator can be enhanced by increasing the thickness of the ceramic coating. However, under the trend of the thinning of the separator, the thin ceramic coating cannot resist the large shrinkage of the porous base film at high temperatures, resulting in overall shrinkage and unable to meet the anti-thermal shrinkage property at high temperatures. For example, it fails to meet the requirement of <5% at 150°C. Therefore, the thin ceramic coating is prone to cause safety concerns in use due to the decrease in heat resistance.

After referring to the following embodiments, those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains should be able to easily understand the basic spirit of the present invention and the technical means and implementation schemes adopted by the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0022] In order to make the disclosure of the present invention more detailed and complete, the following provides an illustrative description of the implementation schemes and specific embodiments of the present invention; however, this is not the only form for implementing or applying the specific embodiments of the present invention. The various embodiments disclosed below can be combined or replaced with each other in beneficial cases, or other embodiments can be added to one embodiment without further record or explanation.

[0023] The advantages, features, and technical methods for realizing the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments and will be more easily understood. Moreover, the present invention can be implemented in different forms, so it should not be understood as being limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, for those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field, the provided embodiments will make the present invention more thorough, comprehensive, and completely convey the scope of the present invention, and the present invention will only be limited by the appended claims.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) and proper nouns used hereinafter are substantially the same as those generally understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention pertains. For example, those terms defined in a general dictionary should be understood as having a meaning consistent with the content of the relevant field, and unless clearly defined hereinafter, they will not be understood in an overly idealized or overly formal sense.

[0025] The composite separator of the present invention comprises a polyolefin porous substrate and an inorganic coating coated on at least one surface of the polyolefin porous substrate, wherein the inorganic coating comprises inorganic particles and a binder resin composition, the binder resin composition is 2 parts by weight to 10 parts by weight relative to every 100 parts by weight of the inorganic particles, and the binder resin composition comprises an acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylate copolymer with a glass transition temperature (Tg) less than 0°C and an amide group-containing polymer with a glass transition temperature between 150°C and 200°C.

[0026] The composite separator film disclosed in the present invention can resist the shrinkage of the polyolefin porous base film at high temperatures to meet the heat shrinkage resistance at high temperatures. For example, the requirement of not more than 2% can be achieved at 150 °C. Especially when the inorganic coating is thinned, such as when the thickness is less than 5 μm and preferably less than 3 μm, the heat shrinkage rate after heating at 150 °C for 1 hour in the machine direction (MD) and the transverse direction (TD) is not more than 2%. It has only a small amount of heat shrinkage at high temperatures, which can prevent thermal runaway caused by the contact of electrodes during abnormal applications and provide good safety performance at high temperatures.

[0027] In the composite separator film of the present invention, the binder resin composition used in the inorganic coating comprises 40 wt% to 85 wt% of an acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylate copolymer having a glass transition temperature of less than 0 °C and 15 wt% to 60 wt% of an amide group-containing polymer having a glass transition temperature between 150 °C and 200 °C.

[0028] In the composite separator film of the present invention, the acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylate copolymer having a glass transition temperature of less than 0 °C in the binder resin composition used in the inorganic coating can provide a strong adhesion force between the inorganic particles and the porous substrate to strengthen the adhesion and high-temperature resistance at the interface, and its property of low glass transition temperature can provide a relatively flexible and soft inorganic coating. Furthermore, the binder resin composition contains an amide group-containing polymer having a glass transition temperature between 150 °C and 200 °C, which can form a relatively rigid network structure at high temperatures. Therefore, it can provide the high-temperature resistance of the inorganic coating and is not easily affected by the shrinkage of the porous substrate at high temperatures to strengthen the high-temperature shrinkage resistance. By using components with different glass transition temperatures in the binder resin composition of the present invention, it is avoided that the inorganic coating is too softened or too rigid and brittle at high temperatures, resulting in poor adhesion. The heat shrinkage rate of the composite separator film disclosed in the present invention after heating at 150 °C for 1 hour in the machine direction (MD) and the transverse direction (TD) is not more than 2%. Furthermore, the binder resin composition in the present invention provides good adhesion to the polyolefin porous substrate, so there is sufficient adhesion between the inorganic coating and the porous substrate, and its peel strength is greater than 30 gf / cm.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the binder resin composition of the inorganic coating preferably comprises 40 wt% to 80 wt% of an acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylate copolymer having a glass transition temperature of less than 0 °C and 20 wt% to 60 wt% of an amide group-containing polymer having a glass transition temperature between 150 °C and 200 °C.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inorganic coating comprises 2 parts by weight to 8 parts by weight of the binder resin composition relative to every 100 parts by weight of the inorganic particles.

[0031] In the adhesive resin composition of the composite separator film of the present invention, the acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylate copolymer with a glass transition temperature less than 0°C is a terpolymer derived from the copolymerization of acrylonitrile monomer, acrylamide monomer and acrylate monomer. In a preferred embodiment, the glass transition temperature of the acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylate copolymer is between -40°C and 0°C. The acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylate copolymer applicable to the present invention can be a commercially available product, such as BM-950B manufactured by Zeon Corporation of Japan.

[0032] In the adhesive resin composition of the composite separator film of the present invention, the amide group-containing polymer with a glass transition temperature between 150°C and 200°C can be poly(N-vinylacetamide), amide-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer, acrylonitrile-acrylamide-(meth)acrylate copolymer, etc. The amide group-containing polymer with a glass transition temperature between 150°C and 200°C applicable to the present invention can be a commercially available product, such as the PNVA GE191 series (such as GE191-103, GE191-104, GE191-107 or GE191-108) manufactured by Showa Denko K.K. of Japan, SF168L manufactured by Shenzhen Research First New Materials Co., Ltd. of China, GR506 manufactured by Hunan Gaorui Power Materials Co., Ltd., etc.

[0033] In the composite separator film disclosed in the present invention, the inorganic particles used in the inorganic coating can be those widely used in this technical field, that is, inorganic particles having heat resistance, electrical insulation and being stable to electrolytes are sufficient, and there is no particular limitation. Suitable inorganic particles can be Mg(OH) 2 , BaSO 4 , BaTiO 3 , HfO 2 , SrTiO 3 , SnO 2 , CeO 2 , MgO, NiO, CaO, ZnO, ZrO 2 , SiO 2 , Y 2 O 3 , Al(OH) 3 , Al 2 O 3 , boehmite (AlOOH), SiC, TiO 2 or a combination thereof, especially Al 2 O 3 , boehmite (AlOOH), SiO 2 , TiO 2 etc. are preferred.

[0034] In the inorganic coating of the composite separator film of the present invention, it is preferred that the inorganic particles adopt particles with a smaller particle size to increase the contact area with the binder and improve the adhesion between the two. Furthermore, since the size of the gaps formed between the inorganic particles affects the battery characteristics, when the particle size of the inorganic particles is too large, the gaps between the particles become too large, and short circuits caused by lithium dendrites may easily occur. Therefore, the average particle size (D50) of the inorganic particles is preferably between 0.1 μm and 2.0 μm, more preferably between 0.2 μm and 1.0 μm. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inorganic coating may adopt two or more kinds of inorganic particles with the same or different particle sizes.

[0035] The inorganic coating of the composite separator film of the present invention further contains a surfactant to enhance the interfacial affinity between the inorganic coating and the polyolefin porous substrate. The wetting agent applicable to the present invention may adopt a silicone surfactant, and the usage amount of the surfactant is 0.1 parts by weight to 1.5 parts by weight relative to every 100 parts by weight of the inorganic particles, preferably 0.1 parts by weight to 1.0 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the inorganic particles.

[0036] The polyolefin porous substrate that can be used for the composite separator film of the present invention can be a single-layer or multi-layer polyolefin porous substrate, such as single-layer polyethylene, single-layer polypropylene, double-layer polyethylene / polypropylene, or triple-layer polypropylene / polyethylene / polypropylene, but not limited thereto. The thickness of the polyolefin porous substrate applicable to the present invention can be between about 5 μm and 30 μm, preferably between 5 μm and 20 μm, and its porosity is between about 40% and 70%, preferably between 43% and 65%.

[0037] The composite separator film of the present invention can coat the inorganic coating on one side or both sides of the polyolefin porous substrate. The thickness of the inorganic coating of the composite separator film of the present invention can be between 0.5 μm and 5 μm, preferably a single-sided or double-sided ceramic coating between 0.5 μm and 3 μm, and preferably double-sided coating.

[0038] Therefore, improving the adhesion of the composite separator film at the interface between the polyolefin porous substrate and the inorganic coating can not only strengthen the heat shrinkage resistance of the separator film, but also avoid concerns about battery safety caused by interface peeling during the charge and discharge process of the inorganic coating. In a preferred embodiment of the composite separator film of the present invention, after the inorganic coating is thinned, for example, when the thickness is less than 5 μm and preferably less than 3 μm, the peeling strength between the inorganic coating and the porous substrate is greater than 30 gf / cm.

[0039] In the inorganic coating of the composite separator film of the present invention, additives such as antistatic agents, flame retardants, antioxidants, or surface modifiers can be further included as needed.

[0040] In another embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing a composite separator is disclosed, the steps of which include providing a polyolefin porous substrate; coating a slurry on one or two surfaces of the polyolefin porous substrate to form an inorganic coating, wherein the slurry contains a plurality of inorganic particles, a binder resin composition and water, and drying the slurry to form the inorganic coating. The binder resin composition contains an acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylate copolymer with a glass transition temperature less than 0 °C and an amide group-containing polymer with a glass transition temperature between 150 °C and 200 °C.

[0041] In the method for preparing the composite separator disclosed in the present invention, the slurry further contains a dispersant, the dispersant is an alkanolamine dispersant, an ammonium acrylate dispersant or a combination thereof, and the amount of the dispersant used is between 0.1 part by weight and 1.5 parts by weight relative to every 100 parts by weight of the inorganic particles.

[0042] In the method for preparing the composite separator of the present invention, the inorganic coating of the polyolefin porous substrate can be coated by methods known in the art without particular limitation, such as roll coating, knife coating, dip coating, roller coating, spin coating, slot coating and other widely used coating methods in the art.

[0043] In the composite separator of another embodiment of the present invention, it includes a polyolefin porous substrate and an inorganic coating coated on at least one surface of the porous substrate, wherein the inorganic coating contains inorganic particles, a binder resin composition and a photoinitiator. The binder resin composition is 2 parts by weight to 10 parts by weight relative to every 100 parts by weight of the inorganic particles, and the photoinitiator is 0.1 part by weight to 1.5 parts by weight relative to every 100 parts by weight of the inorganic particles. The binder resin composition contains an acrylonitrile-acrylamide-acrylate copolymer with a glass transition temperature (Tg) less than 0 °C and an amide group-containing polymer with a glass transition temperature between 150 °C and 200 °C. After the photoinitiator in the inorganic coating is irradiated with ultraviolet light, it can cause a radical reaction and crosslinking of the hydrogen-containing carbon bonds in the binder resin composition of the inorganic coating and on the surface of the polyolefin porous substrate, and further strengthen the high-temperature puncture resistance and high-temperature melting integrity of the composite separator without affecting the adhesion between the inorganic coating and the polyolefin porous substrate.

[0048] In the method for preparing the composite separator membrane disclosed in the present invention, the solvent is toluene, methanol, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acetate, 1,2-dichloroethane, acetone, water, or a combination thereof.
