The coating is provided on at least one of the two sides of the base film distributed along its thickness direction, and / or, the coating is provided in the middle of the base film along its thickness direction.

[0006] The separator of this application has the following beneficial effects: It can inhibit the growth of dendrites and improve the dendrite puncture resistance of the separator, thereby reducing the risk of dendrites piercing the separator and internal short circuit of the battery.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the general formula of the fluorocarbon material is CFx, where 0.85 ≤ x ≤ 1.5, and optionally, 1 ≤ x ≤ 1.25. This is beneficial to further improving the performance of the battery.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the volume particle size Dv50 of the fluorocarbon material is 50 nm to 1000 nm, and may be optionally 50 nm to 500 nm. This is beneficial for further balancing the uniformity of the coating and the ion transport ability of the separator membrane.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the volume particle size Dv90 of the fluorocarbon material is ≤ 3 μm, and may be optionally ≤ 1 μm. This is beneficial for further balancing the uniformity of the coating and the ion transport ability of the separator membrane.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the mass of the fluorocarbon material, the total mass percentage content of the solid electrolyte and / or the metal oxide is ≤ 70%, and may be optionally 20% to 50%. This is beneficial for further reducing the risk of the separator membrane being pierced by dendrites and balancing a good ion transport ability.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the wetting angles of the solid electrolyte and the metal oxide are each independently ≤ 15°. This can improve the affinity between the separator membrane and the strongly polar electrolyte solution and the problem that the separator membrane is easily pierced by dendrites.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte at 25 °C is ≥ 10 -4 S / cm. Meeting the given conditions can further improve the ion transport ability of the separator membrane and inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the lithium intercalation capacity of the metal oxide is ≥ 600 mAh / g. This is beneficial for further improving the puncture resistance of the separator membrane and inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites.

This is beneficial for taking into account the energy density of the battery while improving the puncture resistance of the separator.

Unless otherwise stated, the numerical values of the various parameters mentioned in this application can be measured by various common measurement methods in the art (for example, they can be tested according to the methods given in the embodiments of this application).

[0062] With the continuous promotion of the green environmental protection theme, the application of batteries has penetrated into all aspects of life, including vehicles, electronic devices, energy storage devices, etc. However, with the continuous popularization of battery applications, people's requirements for batteries are also getting higher and higher. Taking lithium batteries as an example, lithium batteries, especially lithium metal batteries, face the problem of lithium dendrite growth during the cycling process, which brings the risk of dendrites piercing the separator membrane and causing short circuits, leading to thermal runaway. At present, the separators commonly used in related fields usually only play a physical barrier role. With the cycling process and dendrite growth, there is still a possibility that dendrites grow along the pores and pierce through.

[0063] In this application, by compounding a fluorocarbon material with at least one of a solid electrolyte and a metal oxide to form a coating, and making the coating formed on at least one side of the separator along its thickness direction and / or in the middle of the separator, it is not only beneficial to inhibit dendrite growth, but also can improve the dendrite-piercing resistance of the separator, thereby reducing the risk of dendrites piercing the separator and causing internal short circuits in the battery.

[0064] The separator disclosed in the embodiments of this application is applicable to secondary batteries, and the batteries disclosed in the embodiments of this application can be used in electrical equipment that uses the battery as a power source or various energy storage systems that use the battery as an energy storage element. The electrical equipment can include, but is not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, laptop computers, electric toys, power tools, battery cars, electric vehicles, ships, spacecraft, and so on. Among them, electric toys can include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric vehicle toys, electric ship toys, and electric aircraft toys, etc., and spacecraft can include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spaceships, etc.

[0065] The first aspect of this application provides a separator, which includes: a base film and a coating. The coating includes a fluorocarbon material, as well as a solid electrolyte and / or a metal oxide. The coating is provided on at least one side of the base film distributed along its thickness direction, and / or the coating is provided in the middle of the base film along its thickness direction.

[0066] In this application, the fluorocarbon material refers to a carbon-based material having a carbon-fluorine covalent bond, and the solid electrolyte refers to a solid ionic conductor electrolyte. Refer to Figures 1 to 3 Understand that the separator includes a base film 11 and a coating 12. The coating 12 includes a fluorocarbon material, as well as a solid electrolyte and / or a metal oxide. The coating 12 is provided on at least one side of the base film 11 distributed along its thickness direction (refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 Understand), and / or the coating 12 is provided in the middle of the base film 11 along its thickness direction (refer to Figure 3(Understanding). Exemplarily, the coating 12 may include a fluorocarbon material and a solid electrolyte, or may include a fluorocarbon material and a metal oxide, or may include a fluorocarbon material, a solid electrolyte, and a metal oxide at the same time. Optionally, the metal oxide may include, but is not limited to, transition metal oxides and / or oxides of metals with multiple different valence states. Among them, the material composition of the coating can be obtained by combining one or more of the conventional methods, and the conventional methods may include, but are not limited to, ICP elemental analysis, EDS energy spectrum analysis, XRD testing, XPS testing, infrared testing, atomic absorption method, etc. The position of the coating can be obtained by characterizing the microstructure of the separator cross-section with conventional instruments such as a scanning electron microscope.

[0067] In this application, the separator can be used in batteries such as lithium batteries or sodium batteries. Among them, by compounding at least one of a fluorocarbon material and a solid electrolyte (usually the solid electrolyte layer used to prepare a solid-state battery) and a metal oxide and forming a coating on the base film of the separator, it is beneficial to inhibit the generation or growth of dendrites, improve the mechanical strength of the separator, and enhance its dendrite puncture resistance, achieving a better synergistic effect. Taking a lithium-ion battery as an example, the fluorocarbon material has a high lithium intercalation capacity and lithium reaction activity, can react with Li to generate C and LiF, and has no intermediate products. This is beneficial for consuming lithium to inhibit the generation of lithium dendrites and can also react with the generated lithium dendrites to inhibit their growth. (Furthermore, forming the coating on the side of the separator facing the negative electrode sheet is beneficial for the reaction to generate a LiF interface layer, which helps to form a good and stable SEI and improve the Coulomb efficiency, which is more obvious at high rates); in addition, the solid electrolyte and the metal oxide can also react with lithium or have a certain lithium intercalation capacity, and can also consume a part of lithium, thereby inhibiting the generation and growth of lithium dendrites; moreover, the solid electrolyte also has good ion conduction ability, which can improve the ion transport ability of the coating and further inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites; further, the base film of the separator is usually a polymer. Compared with the base film, the solid electrolyte and the metal oxide have relatively better mechanical strength and heat resistance, and the oxygen that may exist in the solid electrolyte and the metal oxide can also combine with the fluorocarbon material to form a denser coating structure. Therefore, a better synergistic effect can be exerted to reduce the risk of dendrite piercing the separator and internal short circuit of the battery.

[0068] The separator of this application has the following beneficial effects: It can inhibit the growth of dendrites and improve the dendrite puncture resistance of the separator, thereby reducing the risk of dendrite piercing the separator and internal short circuit of the battery.

[0069] Furthermore, on the basis of meeting the above conditions, the separator of the first aspect of this application can optionally meet one or more of the following conditions.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the general formula of the fluorocarbon material can be CFx, where 0.85 ≤ x ≤ 1.5, and optionally, 1 ≤ x ≤ 1.25.

[0071] Exemplarily, the value of x can be 0.85, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and so on. Among them, the value of x in CFx can be obtained by combining the correlation analysis of the absorption peak area of the fluorocarbon bond and the absorption peak area of the carbon-carbon bond in the infrared spectrum. An increase in the fluorine element content (atomic percentage) in the fluorocarbon material is beneficial to obtaining improved thermal stability. In the present application, the fluorine element content in the fluorocarbon material meets the given conditions, which is beneficial to endowing the coating with good thermal stability, insulation, and ionic conduction ability, thereby further improving the performance of the battery.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the fluorocarbon material can include at least one of fluorinated graphite, fluorinated carbon black, fluorinated carbon, fluorinated graphene, fluorinated carbon nanotubes, and fluorinated carbon fibers. Among them, fluorinated carbon can also include, but is not limited to, fluorinated (nano) carbon fibers, etc., and fluorinated graphite can include, but is not limited to, fluorinated graphite microflakes, etc. The fluorocarbon materials within the given range have a high lithium intercalation capacity and lithium reaction activity, and can be used in batteries such as lithium batteries or sodium batteries to inhibit dendrite growth and reduce the risk of the separator being pierced by dendrites.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the particle size of the fluorocarbon material is 50 nm to 5 μm, and can be optionally 50 nm to 1 μm.

[0074] Exemplarily, the particle size of the fluorocarbon material can be 50 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm, 500 nm, 800 nm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, and so on. The particle size of the fluorocarbon material can be measured by conventional instruments and conventional methods such as scanning electron microscopy and particle size analyzer. Among them, an increase in the particle size of the fluorocarbon material is beneficial to reducing the risk of particle clogging of the micropores of the base film during coating formation, and further reducing the risk of ion transport channel blockage caused by the decrease in the air permeability of the separator membrane and the resulting decrease in battery capacity and cycle life; in addition, an increase in the particle size of the fluorocarbon material will also increase the viscosity of the coating slurry. Using a fluorocarbon material with a smaller particle size is not only beneficial to obtaining an appropriate viscosity of the coating slurry, reducing the risk of decreased coating uniformity and increased coating difficulty caused by a larger viscosity of the coating slurry, but also beneficial to improving the adhesion effect of the fluorocarbon material on the surface of the base film and reducing the risk of powder shedding that may occur during the coating process. The particle size of the fluorocarbon material within the given range is beneficial to coating, improving the uniformity and adhesion effect of the coating, and also beneficial to making the separator membrane have better ion transport ability. Optionally, the particle size of the fluorocarbon material can be 50 nm to 1 μm, which is beneficial to further balancing the coating uniformity and the ion transport ability of the separator membrane. Exemplarily, the air permeability of the separator membrane can be ≤ 300 s / 100 mL. Among them, when the air permeability of the separator membrane is ≤ 300 s / 100 mL, the air permeability of the separator membrane is better and has better ion transport characteristics.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the volume particle size Dv50 of the fluorocarbon material can be 50 nm to 1000 nm, and can be optionally 50 nm to 500 nm. Exemplarily, the volume particle size Dv50 of the fluorocarbon material can be 50 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, 700 nm, 800 nm, 900 nm, 1000 nm, and so on. Thus, it is beneficial to further balance the coating uniformity and adhesion effect, and make the separator membrane have better ion transport ability.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the volume particle size Dv90 of the fluorocarbon material can be ≤ 3 μm, and can be optionally ≤ 1 μm. Exemplarily, the volume particle size Dv90 of the fluorocarbon material can be 100 nm to 3 μm, 200 nm to 1 μm, 500 nm to 1 μm, 300 nm, 600 nm, 800 nm, 900 nm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, and so on. Thus, it is beneficial to further balance the coating uniformity and adhesion effect, and make the separator membrane have better ion transport ability.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the particle sizes of the solid electrolyte and the metal oxide can be independently 50 nm to 5 μm, optionally independently 50 nm to 1 μm, such as can be independently 50 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm, 500 nm, 800 nm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, and so on. This is beneficial to further balance the uniformity of the coating and the ion transport ability of the separator membrane.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the areal density of the coating can be 3.5 g / m 2 ~15 g / m 2 . Exemplarily, the areal density of the coating can be 3.5 g / m 2 、4 g / m 2 、5 g / m 2 、6 g / m 2 、7 g / m 2 、8 g / m 2 、9 g / m 2 、10 g / m 2 、11 g / m 2 、12 g / m 2 、13 g / m 2 、14 g / m 2 、15 g / m 2 , and so on. The areal density of the coating can be measured by conventional methods. For example, the areal density of the coating can be calculated by testing the weight difference of the separator membrane before and after coating peeling and the area of the separator membrane sample. The coating peeling method is not particularly limited and can include, but is not limited to, mechanical peeling method, solvent immersion method, etc. Increasing the coating thickness or coating density is beneficial to improving the dendrite puncture resistance ability of the separator membrane, and decreasing the coating thickness or coating density is beneficial to obtaining better ion transport characteristics. The areal density of the coating meeting the given range conditions is beneficial not only to reducing the risk of dendrite piercing the separator membrane but also to enabling the separator membrane to have better ion transport ability.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the areal density of the fluorocarbon material in the coating can be 2 g / m 2 ~14.5 g / m 2 . Exemplarily, the areal density of the fluorocarbon material in the coating can be 2 g / m 2 、3 g / m 2 、4 g / m 2 、5 g / m 2 、6 g / m 2 、7 g / m 2 、8 g / m 2 、9 g / m 2 、10 g / m 2 、11 g / m 2 、12 g / m2 、 13 g / m 2 、 14 g / m 2 、 14.5 g / m 2 , and so on. The areal density of the fluorocarbon material in the coating can be measured by conventional methods. For example, the content relationship between the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide and the fluorocarbon material in the coating can be analyzed by combining one or more of conventional methods such as elemental analysis and infrared testing, and then calculated in combination with the areal density of the coating. Increasing the content of the fluorocarbon material in the coating is beneficial to consuming more lithium by reacting with lithium, improving the inhibitory effect on dendrite growth. Increasing the content of the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide in the coating is beneficial to improving the strength of the separator itself and the ability to resist dendrite piercing. When the areal density of the fluorocarbon material in the coating meets the given conditions, it is beneficial to further inhibit dendrite growth and reduce the risk of the separator being pierced by dendrites.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the mass of the fluorocarbon material, the total mass percentage content of the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide can be ≤ 70%, and can be optionally 20% - 50%.

[0081] Exemplarily, the total mass percentage content of the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide can be 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, and so on. The content relationship between the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide and the fluorocarbon material can be analyzed by combining one or more of conventional methods such as elemental analysis and infrared testing. Increasing the content of the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide is beneficial to further improving the mechanical strength of the separator and the ability of the separator itself to resist dendrite piercing. Making the dosage of the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide meet the given range is not only beneficial to improving the dense structure of the coating and enhancing the ability of the separator itself to resist dendrite piercing, but also enables the coating to have a good inhibitory effect on dendrite growth. At the same time, it is also beneficial for the separator to have a good ion transport ability. Optionally, the total mass percentage content of the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide can be 20% - 50%, which is beneficial to further reducing the risk of the separator being pierced by dendrites and having a good ion transport ability.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the wetting angles of the solid electrolyte and the metal oxide can be independently ≤ 15°.

[0083] Exemplarily, the wetting angles of the solid electrolyte and the metal oxide can be 15°, 12°, 10°, 8°, 5°, etc. respectively and independently, or can be within a range composed of any of the above values respectively and independently. The wetting angles of the solid electrolyte and the metal oxide can be measured by conventional equipment and conventional methods. For example, a contact angle measuring instrument (such as Dataphysics OCA25 video optical contact angle measuring instrument, etc.) can be used to drop a water droplet of the liquid phase on the solid electrolyte or metal oxide sample, and the contact angle value can be obtained by software fitting the image contour. The fluorocarbon-containing material has strong hydrophobicity and poor affinity with the strongly polar electrolyte, which is not conducive to the separator absorbing and retaining the electrolyte. Metal oxides usually have good hydrophilicity. The oxygen-containing functional groups on their surfaces can form hydrogen bonds to improve hydrophilicity. And affected by factors such as polar hydrophilic groups, the solid electrolyte usually also exhibits strong hydrophilicity. Introducing the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide into the coating is also beneficial for the separator to absorb and retain the electrolyte, and making the interface between the separator and the electrode sheet fully wetted by the electrolyte can also improve the problem that the separator is easily pierced by dendrites to a certain extent. Further, by making the wetting angles of the solid electrolyte and the metal oxide meet the given conditions, the affinity between the separator and the strongly polar electrolyte and the problem that the separator is easily pierced by dendrites can be further improved.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte at 25 °C can be ≥ 10 -4 S / cm.

[0085] Exemplarily, the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte at 25 °C can be ≥ 10 -4 S / cm, ≥ 5×10 -4 S / cm, ≥ 10 -3 S / cm, ≥ 5×10 -3 S / cm, ≥ 10 -2 S / cm, etc. The ionic conductivity can be obtained by testing with the alternating current impedance method. An increase in the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte is beneficial to improving the ionic transport ability of the separator. Thus, meeting the given conditions can further improve the ionic transport ability of the separator and inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the solid electrolyte can include at least one of oxide electrolytes, sulfide electrolytes, and acid salt electrolytes.

[0087] In this application, the acid salt electrolyte refers to a solid electrolyte composed of acid salt materials (such as common acid salts like phosphates and borates), and may include but is not limited to phosphate-based solid electrolyte materials. Exemplarily, taking a lithium battery as an example, the solid electrolyte may include but is not limited to lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (LLZO), lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LATP), lithium titanium phosphate (LTP), lithium aluminum germanium phosphate (LAGP), lithium germanium phosphorus sulfur sulfide (LGPS), lithium thiophosphate (Li 3 PS 4 ), lithium phosphorus sulfur chloride (Li 6 PS 5 Cl), etc., and one or more of the solid electrolytes within the given range can form a dense structure in combination with a fluorocarbon-containing material, or can react with lithium to consume lithium, which is beneficial to improving the puncture resistance of the separator and inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites. Optionally, the solid electrolyte may include but is not limited to Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 , Li 1.4 Al 0.4 Ti 1.6 (PO 4 ) 3 , Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 , Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 , LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 , Li 3 PS 4 , Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 , Li 6 PS 5 Cl, etc., and this is beneficial to further improving the puncture resistance of the separator and inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, the lithium intercalation capacity of the metal oxide can be ≥600 mAh / g.

[0089] Exemplarily, the lithium intercalation capacity of the metal oxide can be ≥600 mAh / g, ≥650 mAh / g, ≥700 mAh / g, ≥750 mAh / g, ≥800 mAh / g, ≥850 mAh / g, ≥900 mAh / g, and so on. The lithium intercalation capacity of the metal oxide can be represented by the reversible capacity when it is used as the negative electrode active material. It can be obtained by using it as the active material of the negative electrode sheet and assembling the battery for charge and discharge tests. A higher lithium intercalation capacity can consume more lithium, which is beneficial to further improving the inhibitory effect of the coating on dendrite growth. Thus, meeting the given conditions can not only improve the mechanical strength of the separator and enhance its puncture resistance, but also be conducive to further inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the metal oxide may include at least one of oxides of Fe, Sn, Ti, Cu, Mn, Al, Ge, Zr, and Zn. The metal oxides within the given range have a certain lithium intercalation capacity or can react with lithium to consume lithium, and can preferably inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating 12 may further include: a lithium supplement material. For a lithium battery, the coating will consume a small amount of lithium due to lithium intercalation or reaction with lithium. By further incorporating a lithium supplement material, it is also beneficial to make up for the minor capacity loss that may be caused by the consumption of lithium by the coating.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the mass of the fluorocarbon-containing material, the mass percentage content of the lithium supplement material can be ≤25%.

[0093] Exemplarily, the mass percentage content of the lithium supplement material can be 25%, 23%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, and so on. The relative amounts of the lithium supplement material and the fluorocarbon-containing material can determine the specific types and contents of the fluorocarbon material and the lithium supplement material in the coating by combining conventional methods such as elemental analysis, XRD testing, and infrared testing, and can be obtained through calculation. For a lithium battery, controlling the content of the lithium supplement material within the given range is not only beneficial to making up for the minor capacity loss of the battery that may be caused by the consumption of lithium by the coating, but also can reduce the excessive self-consumption of lithium within the coating that may be caused by a relatively large amount of the lithium supplement material, resulting in a decrease in the lithium storage capacity and reaction ability outside the coating, and further weakening the risk of the inhibitory effect of the coating on the growth of lithium dendrites.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the lithium supplement material may include LiF, Li 3 N, Li 2 O coated with M, Li x Si-coated Li 2At least one of O, M includes at least one of Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, and the value range of x is 0.5 to 3.75.

[0095] Exemplarily, the value of x can be 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 3.75, and so on. The specific type of the lithium supplement material can be determined by combining one or more of conventional methods such as elemental analysis, atomic absorption method, XRD test, etc. The given lithium supplement material is beneficial to achieving a good lithium supplement effect at a lower dosage. In addition, using M or Li x Si-coated Li 2 O can form a passivation layer on the surface of Li 2 O, playing a role in slow-release lithium supplementation, and at the same time can also avoid the capacity attenuation of Li 2 O caused by contact with air before addition.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating further includes at least one of a binder, a dispersant, and a thickener. Adding a binder can improve the adhesion strength between the coating and the base film and reduce the risk of powder shedding that may exist in each component of the coating; adding a dispersant is beneficial to improving the dispersion uniformity of the coating slurry, thereby improving the uniformity of the coating; adding a thickener is beneficial to improving the stability of the coating slurry, reducing the risk of delamination or sedimentation, and improving the coating effect and uniformity of the coating. It should be noted that the binder, the dispersant, and the thickener can be respectively independently conventional selections in the relevant field, and can be prepared by conventional methods or obtained through commercial channels. For example, the binder can include but is not limited to one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), etc.; the dispersant can include but is not limited to one or more of hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride, acrylic block polymer, polyester block polymer, polyethylene glycol type polyol, and polyethyleneimine derivative, etc.; the thickener can include but is not limited to one or more of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, polyacrylate, polyurethane, polyether, etc.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the mass of the coating, the mass percentage content of the binder can be 0.5% to 5%, and can be optionally 1% to 3%. For example, it can be 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, and so on. Thus, the adhesion strength between the coating and the base film can be effectively improved.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the mass of the fluorocarbon-containing material, the mass percentage content of the dispersant can be ≤2%, and can be optionally 1% to 1.5%. For example, it can be 0.1%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 2%, and so on. Thus, the uniformity of the coating can be effectively improved.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the mass of the fluorocarbon material, the mass percentage content of the thickener can be ≤2%, and can be optionally 1% - 1.5%. For example, it can be 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, etc. Thus, the operability of coating application and the uniformity of the coating can be effectively improved.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the single-layer coating can be 1.5μm - 3.5μm, and can be optionally 1.5μm - 3μm.

[0101] Exemplarily, the thickness of the single-layer coating can be 1.5μm, 2μm, 2.5μm, 3μm, 3.5μm, etc. The thickness of the coating can be measured by a film thickness gauge. Meeting the given conditions can not only play a good role in improving the strength of the separator and inhibiting dendrite growth, enhancing the dendrite puncture resistance of the separator, but also obtain good processability, and at the same time reduce the risks of problems such as an increase in the reversible capacity loss of the battery and a decrease in the battery energy density that may be caused by an excessive coating thickness.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, the total thickness of the coating can be ≤5μm. Exemplarily, the total thickness of the coating can be 1.5μm, 2μm, 2.5μm, 3μm, 3.5μm, 4μm, 4.5μm, 5μm, etc. The total thickness of the coating can be obtained by measuring the thickness of each single-sided coating with a film thickness gauge and calculating the sum. Meeting the given conditions is beneficial to further reducing the risks of problems such as an increase in the reversible capacity loss of the battery and a decrease in the battery energy density that may be caused by an excessive coating thickness on the basis of enabling the separator to have good dendrite puncture resistance.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, the ratio of the total thickness of the coating to the thickness of the base film can be 1:(2.5 - 10).

[0104] Exemplarily, the ratio of the total thickness of the coating to the thickness of the base film can be 1 / 2.5, 1 / 3, 1 / 4, 1 / 5, 1 / 6, 1 / 7, 1 / 8, 1 / 9, 1 / 10, etc. The thickness of the base film can also be measured by a film thickness gauge. Meeting the given conditions is beneficial to further reducing the risks of problems such as an increase in the reversible capacity loss of the battery and a decrease in the battery energy density that may be caused by an excessive coating thickness on the basis of enabling the separator to have good dendrite puncture resistance.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating 12 can be provided on at least one of the two sides of the base film 11 distributed along its thickness direction. The two sides of the base film 11 distributed along its thickness direction are respectively close to the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, and the coating 12 can be provided on the side 11a of the base film 11 close to the negative electrode plate. Reference can be made to Figure 1Understanding. Providing a coating on the side of the base film facing the negative electrode can further improve the inhibitory effect on dendrite growth.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating 12 can be provided on at least one of the two sides of the base film 11 distributed along its thickness direction. The thickness of the coating 12 provided on the side 11a of the base film 11 close to the negative electrode can be ≥ the thickness of the coating 12 provided on the side 11b of the base film 11 close to the positive electrode. Reference can be made to Figure 2 Understanding. Providing coatings on both sides of the base film along its thickness direction is beneficial to further improve the mechanical strength and puncture resistance of the separator. Even if one side of the separator is punctured by dendrites, it is beneficial to delay the time of being completely penetrated. Optionally, the thickness of the coating 12 provided on the side 11a of the base film 11 close to the negative electrode can be greater than the thickness of the coating 12 provided on the side 11b of the base film 11 close to the positive electrode, thereby further improving the inhibitory effect on dendrite growth.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating 12 can be provided on at least one of the two sides of the base film 11 distributed along its thickness direction. The thickness of the base film can be ≥ 7 μm. Exemplarily, the thickness of the base film can be 7 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, etc. Meeting the given conditions is beneficial to further reduce the risk of being punctured by dendrites.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating 12 can be provided only in the middle of the base film 11 along its thickness direction. The thicknesses of the base films on both sides of the coating 12 along its thickness direction can be independently ≤ 9 μm, and can be optionally 5 μm - 9 μm.

[0109] Reference Figure 3 Understanding, the base film 11 can include a first sub-base film 111 and a second sub-base film 112 arranged along its thickness direction, and the coating 12 can be sandwiched between the first sub-base film 111 and the second sub-base film 112. Adopting this setting can avoid direct contact between the coating and the electrode, which is beneficial to reducing the attenuation of the battery capacity that may be caused by the reaction between the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide and lithium on the basis of improving the puncture resistance of the separator. Further, the thicknesses of the first sub-base film 111 and the second sub-base film 112 can be independently ≤ 9 μm, and can be optionally independently 5 μm - 9 μm. Exemplarily, the thicknesses of the first sub-base film 111 and the second sub-base film 112 can be independently 9 μm, 8 μm, 7 μm, 6 μm, 5 μm, 4 μm, etc. Meeting the given conditions is beneficial to further taking into account the energy density of the battery on the basis of reducing the risk of the separator being punctured by dendrites.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating 12 may be provided only in the middle of the base film 11 along its thickness direction. The coating 12 may include a lithium supplement material. Based on the mass of the fluorocarbon material, the mass percentage of the lithium supplement material may be ≤ 10%. Exemplarily, the mass percentage of the lithium supplement material may be 10%, 8%, 5%, 3%, etc. Refer to Figure 3 Understand that when the coating 12 is sandwiched between the first sub-base film 111 and the second sub-base film 112, the lithium consumption caused by the reaction of the solid electrolyte and / or metal oxide with lithium is also less. Controlling the content of the lithium supplement material within the given range is not only beneficial to compensating for the possible slight capacity loss of the battery caused by the lithium consumption of the coating, but also can reduce the risk of weakening the effect of the coating on inhibiting the growth of lithium dendrites due to the excessive amount of the lithium supplement material.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, the puncture strength of the separator may be ≥ 350 gf, optionally ≥ 450 gf. Exemplarily, the puncture strength of the separator may be ≥ 350 gf, ≥ 400 gf, ≥ 450 gf, ≥ 500 gf, ≥ 550 gf, ≥ 650 gf, ≥ 700 gf, ≥ 750 gf, ≥ 800 gf, etc. Meeting the given conditions can further reduce the risk of the separator being punctured by dendrites.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic conductivity of the coating at 25 °C may be 10 -6 mS / cm to 10 - 10 mS / cm. This can not only further reduce the negative impact that the coating may have on the impedance of the separator, but also inhibit the transfer of electrons through the separator, reducing the risk of internal short circuit in the battery.

The separator prepared by this method is beneficial to inhibiting the growth of dendrites and improving the dendrite puncture resistance of the separator.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present application, coating raw materials including fluorocarbon materials, solid electrolytes and / or metal oxides, and binders can be mixed with a solvent to obtain a coating slurry. Exemplarily, according to a preset ratio, fluorocarbon materials such as graphite fluoride powder can be uniformly dispersed in the solvent for primary dispersion, and then a binder is added for secondary dispersion. Optionally, a dispersant can also be added to the primary dispersion, and the dispersion method includes but is not limited to ultrasonic dispersion, where the ultrasonic time can be flexibly selected according to the actual situation. Additionally optionally, a thickener can be added to the secondary dispersion. Further optionally, the primary dispersion and the secondary dispersion can be independently carried out under stirring conditions. For example, the stirring speed during primary dispersion can be 700 revolutions per minute to 1200 revolutions per minute, and the mixing time can be 30 min to 60 min; the stirring speed during secondary dispersion can be 1000 revolutions per minute to 1600 revolutions per minute, and the mixing time can be 30 min to 90 min. In addition, the specific type of the solvent is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select according to actual needs. For example, it can include but is not limited to one or more of deionized water, N-N dimethylformamide (DMF), N-N methylpyrrolidone (NMP), N-N dimethylacetamide (DMAC), tetrahydrofuran (THF), etc. Optionally, in the coating slurry, the mass percentage of the solvent can be 55% to 75%, and further optionally can be 60% to 70%. Meeting the given conditions is beneficial to making the coating slurry have better viscosity and stability, and further beneficial to obtaining better coating effects and coating uniformity. It should be noted that the selection and relative amounts of the fluorocarbon materials, solid electrolytes, metal oxides, binders, dispersants, and thickeners have been described in detail in the foregoing part and will not be elaborated here.

Optionally, the coating includes but is not limited to blade coating; the drying conditions are not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select according to actual needs. For example, the drying temperature can be 60°C to 80°C, and the drying time can be 5 min to 30 min. The thickness and distribution of the base film and the coating have been described in detail in the foregoing part and will not be elaborated here.

Wherein, when a coating is formed between the first base film and the second base film, the coating on the first base film may be dried under vacuum conditions and then the second base film may be stacked on the side of the coating away from the first base film for lamination.

[0117] A third aspect of the present application provides a battery, which includes: the separator of the first aspect of the present application, and / or the separator prepared by using the method for preparing a separator of the second aspect of the present application.

[0118] Optionally, the battery may be a secondary battery, that is, a battery that can activate the active material by charging after discharging and can be used continuously.

[0119] Generally, a battery includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, a separator, and an electrolyte. During the charge and discharge process of the battery, active ions are embedded and extracted back and forth between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. The separator is disposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate to play a role of isolation. The electrolyte plays a role of conducting ions between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. Among them, the raw material composition and structure of the positive electrode plate, the raw material composition and structure of the negative electrode plate, the material and structural characteristics of the separator, the composition of the electrolyte, etc. can all be conventional selections in the art. The embodiments of the present application do not particularly limit the type of the battery, and it may include but is not limited to lithium batteries, sodium batteries, etc. In the present application, a lithium battery is taken as an example for detailed description:

In addition, the above-mentioned lithium-containing composite oxides may further include, but are not limited to, lithium-containing composite oxides doped with elements such as Ge, Ti, Zr, Mg, Al, Mo, Sn.

[0162] 2) Tensile Strength Test of the Separator Membrane (TD (Transverse) & MD (Longitudinal) Directions)

[0163] It is carried out with reference to the requirements of GB / T 36363-2018 for polyolefin separators for lithium-ion batteries.

[0170] Examples 20 to 24 and Comparative Examples 4 to 5

[0173]

[0174]

[0175] Conclusion:

[0176] From Comprehensive Examples 1 to 19 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 and Table 1, it can be seen that mixing a solid electrolyte and / or a metal oxide with a fluorocarbon material to prepare a separator coating can significantly improve the puncture resistance of the separator. Further, appropriately increasing the thickness of the separator coating or appropriately increasing the content of the solid electrolyte and / or the metal oxide in the coating relative to the fluorocarbon material has a positive promoting effect on enhancing the puncture resistance of the separator. Moreover, disposing the coating on both sides or in the middle of the separator in the thickness direction is beneficial to improving the puncture resistance of the separator. In addition, from Examples 20 to 24 and Comparative Examples 4 to 5, it can be seen that, compared with the case where the coating is not provided, providing the coating can improve the tensile strength and heat shrinkage rate of the separator. The main reason for this analysis is that the coating, as a reinforcing material, can reduce strain and prevent the destruction of the base film structure during the stretching or heat shrinkage process. Additionally, although the air permeability of the separator is affected to a certain extent after the coating is provided, the overall air permeability is still at a good level, and good ion transport characteristics can be exhibited. Further, appropriately increasing the particle size of the fluorocarbon material has a positive promoting effect on improving the air permeability of the separator, and appropriately reducing the particle size of the fluorocarbon material has a promoting effect on improving the tensile strength and heat shrinkage rate of the separator. Making the particle size of the fluorocarbon material within a reasonable range is beneficial to simultaneously taking into account the air permeability, mechanical strength, and heat shrinkage rate of the separator.
