Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile materials, and particularly relates to a gray-black laser label tape and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the full life cycle management of power battery modules has become a core industry requirement. Battery modules must maintain stable markings in complex environments such as high temperature, vibration, and chemical corrosion.
[0003] Traditional labels suffer from reliability issues. For example, ordinary paper or PVC labels are prone to adhesive failure and ink fading during battery charge and discharge cycles (operating at temperatures above 80°C), resulting in a sharp drop in QR code recognition rates to below 60% (see industry test report GB / T 32007-2015). Anti-counterfeiting and traceability systems are weak. For example, existing solutions often use single RFID tags, but the metal battery casing interferes with radio frequency signals and the tags are susceptible to physical tampering. According to statistics, 12.7% of batteries recycled in the EU market in 2022 contained counterfeit labels. Environmental adaptability is insufficient. Electrolyte leakage (primarily composed of LiPF6) can corrode the label surface, causing the existing laser layer to peel (peel strength <3N / 25mm) or blurring of the QR code area (contrast reduction >40%). Traditional labels also have poor compatibility with automated production lines. During processes such as spraying and welding, they cannot withstand transient high temperatures (above 150°C) and lack data exchange capabilities with manufacturing execution systems (MES).
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a gray-black laser label tape with good environmental tolerance (for example, the label must maintain full functionality within a temperature range of -40°C to 150°C and an IP67 protection level), multimodal anti-counterfeiting (for example, physical anti-counterfeiting features (such as laser, fluorescence) and digital identity (such as encrypted data) need to be deeply bound), industrial compatibility (for example, adapting to the labeling speed of automated production lines (≥30m / min) and online quality inspection requirements), and full life cycle traceability (for example, from battery cell production to battery recycling, the data carrier must be able to resist multiple transfers and data tampering). Summary of the Invention

Aiming at scenarios where the battery pack may come into contact with the electrolyte, the transparent protective layer adopts a chemically resistant polyurethane modified resin to ensure that the label maintains functional integrity when the electrolyte leaks. The laser engraving process (532nm green laser, focal diameter 0.05-0.1mm) can accurately match the curved surface fitting requirements of the battery module shell. The gradual transition zone (0.1-0.3mm) reduces stress concentration and avoids label warping.

[0245] Performance test experiment:
[0246] Test Example 1: Color Difference and Code Scanning Recognition Rate Test
[0247] Experimental methods:
[0248] (1) Color difference test:
[0249] The gray surface layer (L*, a*, b*) and the black laser layer (L*) were measured using an X-Rite Ci64 spectrophotometer (D65 illuminant, 10° observation angle) and the color difference ΔE was calculated (formula: ΔE=√[(ΔL) 2 +(Δa) 2 +(Δb) 2 ]).
[0250] For each of Examples 1 to 8, 10 gray-black laser labeling tape samples were taken, and each sample was measured 3 times to obtain the average value.
[0251] (2) Scan code recognition rate test:
[0252] Use a Honeywell 1900 barcode scanner to scan the QR code area 100 times continuously under 2000 lx lighting conditions, and count the number of successful recognitions.
[0253] Before testing, attach the label to the surface of a simulated battery module (made of aluminum alloy) at an ambient temperature of 25°C ± 2°C.
[0254] The experimental results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0255] Table 1:
[0256] Example ΔE value (mean) Scan code recognition rate (%) 1 25.1 99.3 2 30.0 99.5 3 28.2 99.1 4 28.5 99.2 5 30.0 99.4 6 27.0 98.9 7 22.0 99.0 8 24.0 99.3
[0257] The experimental data in Table 1 shows that all examples have a ΔE ≥ 20, meeting the design requirements (compared to a conventional tag with a ΔE ≈ 15 and a recognition rate of only 82%). The color difference significantly improves QR code contrast. Examples 2 and 5, due to their higher carbon black content (30%) and lower L values (L = 43), achieve a ΔE of 30 and achieve the best code recognition rate (99.5%).
[0258] In Example 7, due to the high proportion of titanium dioxide (80%), L*=42.6, ΔE=22, the recognition rate is slightly lower (99.0%), but still meets the standard.
[0259] Test Example 2: High-temperature peel strength retention test
[0260] Experimental methods:
[0261] (1) Initial peel strength test: According to GB / T 2792, the peel strength between the adhesive tape and the aluminum alloy plate was tested using an Instron 3365 tensile testing machine (25°C, peel speed 300 mm / min).
[0262] (2) High temperature aging test: The sample was placed in an oven at 150°C for 48 hours, and then the peel strength was re-tested after cooling to room temperature.
[0263] Calculation of retention rate: retention rate = (peel strength after high temperature / initial peel strength) × 100%.
[0264] The experimental results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0265] Table 2:
[0266] Example Initial peel strength (N / 25mm) Peel strength after high temperature (N / 25mm) Retention rate (%) 1 8.5 8.3 97.6 2 8.0 7.8 97.5 3 8.5 8.4 98.8 4 8.0 7.7 96.3 5 8.0 7.6 95.0 6 8.5 8.2 96.5 7 8.0 7.7 96.3 8 8.5 8.3 97.6
[0267] As shown in the experimental data in Table 2, all examples achieved peel strength retention rates of ≥95%, significantly exceeding those of conventional labels (retention after elevated temperatures ≈60%). Examples 3 and 8, due to their use of isophorone diisocyanate dispersant, exhibited the best heat resistance (retention rate of 98.8%). Example 5, due to the high proportion of microcapsule filler (80%), experienced slight migration at elevated temperatures, resulting in a slightly lower retention rate (95.0%), but still meeting the ≥8 N / 25 mm requirement.
[0268] Test Example 3: Electrolyte Corrosion Resistance Test
[0269] Experimental methods:
[0270] Immersion test: The tag was completely immersed in a 6 mol / L LiPF6 solution (simulating electrolyte leakage) at 25°C for 24 hours.
[0271] Surface observation: Visually check whether the label is warping, delaminating, or the laser layer is peeling off.
[0272] Peel strength test: Test the peel strength of the adhesive layer after immersion according to GB / T 2792 and calculate the retention rate.
[0273] Scan code verification: After soaking, wipe the surface dry and test the QR code recognition rate.
[0274] The experimental results are shown in Table 3 below.
[0275] Table 3:
[0276] Example Apparent state Peel strength retention rate (%) Scan code recognition rate (%) 1 No change 89.4 98.5 2 Slightly white edges 85.2 97.8 3 No change 91.0 99.0 4 Slight loss of gloss on the laser layer 82.3 96.5 5 Edge delamination (<1mm) 78.6 95.2 6 No change 90.1 98.8 7 No change 92.5 99.1 8 Slightly white edges 87.4 97.3
[0277] As can be seen from the experimental data in Table 3, Examples 3, 6, and 7 exhibit optimal corrosion resistance (retention rate ≥ 90%, recognition rate ≥ 98.8%) due to the addition of a polyurethane-modified resin to the transparent protective layer. Example 5, due to the weak alkali resistance of the azo dye Solvent Red 23, exhibits edge delamination, but still meets basic usage requirements. Under the same conditions, conventional labels exhibit only a 52% peel strength retention rate and a scan recognition rate drop to 60%, demonstrating significant performance improvements.
[0278] In summary, the gray-black laser label tape prepared by the present invention meets ΔE ≥ 20 in terms of color difference and recognition rate, and the code scanning recognition rate is ≥ 98.9%, which meets the high-precision traceability requirements of power battery modules. In terms of high-temperature stability, the peel strength retention rate is ≥ 95%, which is significantly better than the industry standard (≥ 80%) and is suitable for high-temperature environments of 150°C. In terms of corrosion resistance, the preferred embodiments (3, 6, 7) have a retention rate of ≥ 90% in the electrolyte, solving the pain point of traditional labels being prone to corrosion and failure. The present invention achieves a three-in-one performance breakthrough of "high recognition rate + high durability + anti-counterfeiting upgrade" through gray-black contrasting color design, a gradual transition zone of the laser layer, and multiple anti-counterfeiting integration.
