Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of battery separators, and particularly relates to a composite separator and a preparation method thereof, and further relates to application of the composite separator in a semi-solid battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy automobile and energy storage market, the demand for high-performance batteries is increasing. As a new battery technology between traditional liquid lithium ion batteries and all-solid-state batteries, semi-solid batteries gradually become a research and industrialization hotspot due to their high safety, high energy density and good rate performance. Semi-solid batteries use a part of solid-state electrolyte to replace the traditional liquid electrolyte, thereby reducing the amount of liquid electrolyte, and effectively reducing the risk of battery leakage and thermal runaway. In addition, semi-solid batteries also have the advantages of wide electrochemical window and high energy density, and are considered as an important development direction of future battery technology.

[0003] As one of the key components in semi-solid batteries, the performance of the separator directly affects the safety, cycle life and rate performance of the battery. The traditional liquid lithium ion battery separator is mainly made of polyolefin materials (such as polyethylene and polypropylene), which has good chemical stability and mechanical strength. However, in semi-solid batteries, the porosity and pore size of the traditional separator are small, which is difficult to meet the filling demand of semi-solid electrolyte. Although the composite separator formed by coating a coating layer containing high molecular materials and solid-state electrolyte (such as LATP, etc.) on the surface of the base film can improve the safety and electrochemical performance of the battery to a certain extent, the thermal conductivity and battery thermal runaway threshold still need to be improved. In addition, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the solid-state electrolyte and the base film, and the dispersion of the solid-state electrolyte and the high molecular material affect the adhesion between the coating layer and the base film, and further affect the safety and cycle performance of the battery.

[0004] In summary, the composite separator currently applied in semi-solid batteries has the problem of imbalance of "thermal-power-electricity" triple performance, and still has the problems of insufficient ion conductivity, insufficient thermal conductivity, mechanical performance to be improved, and poor cycle performance, especially low-temperature cycle performance. It is of important practical significance to develop a new type of composite separator that can solve the above problems at the same time. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the primary purpose of the present application is to provide a composite separator, which adds a polyamide with a specific structure in the coating layer, and cooperates with LATP (Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7PO4)3, lithium titanium aluminum phosphate), so that the obtained composite diaphragm has excellent performance in heat, force and electricity, and is a composite diaphragm with excellent comprehensive performance, which can significantly improve the performance of the semi-solid battery when applied to the semi-solid battery.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the following technical solutions are adopted in the present application:

[0007] One aspect of the present application provides a composite diaphragm, which comprises a base film and a coating layer formed on at least one surface of the base film, and the coating layer comprises polyamide, LATP and an auxiliary agent, and the polyamide has at least a repeating unit represented by Formula I in its structure:

[0008]

[0009] wherein X, Y and Z are independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted aromatic ring, aromatic heterocycle or heterocycle; n is an integer between 0 and 4; a≥1, c≥1, and a+c=b.

[0010] Another aspect of the present application provides a preparation method of the composite diaphragm as described above, which comprises the following steps:

[0011] adding polyamide, LATP and an auxiliary agent into an organic solvent, mixing uniformly to form a coating liquid;

[0012] coating the coating liquid on at least one surface of the base film, extracting through a coagulation bath and drying to form the composite diaphragm.

[0013] Another aspect of the present application provides the use of the composite diaphragm as described above or prepared by the preparation method in a semi-solid battery.

[0014] Another aspect of the present application provides a semi-solid battery comprising the composite diaphragm as described above or prepared by the preparation method.

[0015] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The composite diaphragm in the present application adds polyamide and LATP with specific structures in the coating layer, wherein the polyamide added in the present application has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, high adhesion and easy film formation, which can not only improve the heat resistance of the diaphragm but also increase the bonding force between the coating layer and the base film to avoid powdering of the coating layer; and after adding LATP, on the one hand, the high ionic conductivity of LATP helps to improve the overall conductivity of the diaphragm; on the other hand, both polyamide and LATP have high strength, and the synergistic effect of the two enhances the impact resistance of the battery.

[0017] In summary, the composite separator of the present application integrates the performance of heat, power and electricity, has low thermal shrinkage, high ionic conductivity, strong coating adhesion, and better safety than traditional separators. At the same time, the low temperature performance of the battery is significantly improved, and the cycle performance is improved. In addition, the composite separator of the present application has high resistance to heavy object impact, which is beneficial to reduce the thickness of the current collector, thereby improving the energy density of the battery.

The separator sample was placed in a vacuum oven at a temperature of 150°C for 1 h, taken out, cooled to room temperature, and the longitudinal length (MD2) and transverse length (TD1) were measured again. The heat shrinkage Y was calculated according to the following formula.

[0104]

This is due to the cooperation of the specific structure of the polyamide and LATP in the coating layer, which not only enhances the heat resistance of the separator and the bonding ability with the base film, but also improves the overall electrical conductivity of the separator. In addition, the polyamide and LATP added in the application both have high strength, and the two of them have synergistic effect, which significantly enhances the impact resistance of the battery. This can reduce the thickness of the current collector in the battery, thereby improving the energy density of the semi-solid battery.
