Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery separator technology, specifically a high heat-resistant battery separator and a method for preparing the same battery. Background Technology

[0002] As a core technology in the new energy field, the safety and performance optimization of lithium-ion batteries have always been a key research focus. Traditional battery separators mostly use polyolefin materials (such as polyethylene PE and polypropylene PP), which have cost advantages, but poor thermal stability (heat shrinkage temperature ≤120℃). In high-temperature environments, they are prone to softening, shrinking, or even melting, leading to short circuits and thermal runaway at the contact between the positive and negative electrodes, seriously threatening battery safety. Especially under high-energy-density battery fast charging or extreme operating conditions, traditional separators are unable to meet safety requirements.

[0003] To address these issues, high-heat-resistant membrane materials have become a research hotspot. Polyimide (PI) is considered an ideal alternative material due to its excellent thermal stability (thermal decomposition temperature ≥400℃), mechanical strength, and chemical inertness. However, the traditional PI membrane preparation process is complex, and the pore structure is difficult to control, resulting in insufficient ion conductivity and affecting battery performance.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention will provide a high heat-resistant battery separator, which can be applied to lithium batteries to ensure the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries. This is of great significance for promoting the widespread application of lithium batteries in electric vehicles, energy storage systems and other fields. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0030] 1. This invention uses polystyrene nanospheres as templates and combines electrospinning and calcination processes to prepare porous silica fiber membranes. These porous silica fiber membranes, as the membrane substrate, can impart excellent mechanical strength and high-temperature stability to the membrane, thereby improving the safety performance of the batteries prepared from them.

[0031] 2. In this invention, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid, maleic diamine, and hexafluorodianhydride are first subjected to a polycondensation reaction (to obtain polyamic acid with carboxyl groups and unsaturated bonds). Then, acetic anhydride and triethylamine are added for catalytic dehydration. Next, the mixture is vacuum dried at 250-300°C (thermal imidization) to obtain polyimide. Finally, the polyimide is amidated and grafted with modified porous silica to obtain porous silica-modified polyimide. Firstly, polyimide itself has excellent heat resistance, and after further grafting with porous silica, its high-temperature stability is further enhanced.

[0032] 3. Since the porous silica-modified polyimide contains unsaturated bonds, this invention further uses a vinyl silane coupling agent to modify the porous silica fiber membrane. Then, the porous silica-modified polyimide is formulated into a coating solution and coated onto the modified porous silica fiber membrane. After ultraviolet crosslinking, the two can form a stable three-dimensional crosslinked network, making the porous silica fiber membrane and the porous silica-modified polyimide more tightly bonded, greatly enhancing the structural stability of the membrane and preventing it from delaminating due to extreme reasons.

[0033] 4. Due to the synergistic effect of porous silica fiber membrane and porous silica-modified polyimide, the prepared high heat-resistant battery separator has excellent heat resistance, mechanical strength and structural stability.

[0034] 5. The high heat-resistant battery separator prepared in this invention has a high porosity, which is beneficial for electrolyte wetting. At the same time, its pore size is small, which can inhibit dendrite penetration and greatly ensure the ion conduction efficiency and safety performance of the battery. Detailed Implementation
