[0002] Lithium ion batteries have been widely used in the fields of smart phones, tablet computers, smart wear, electric tools and electric vehicles due to their high energy density, long cycle life, no memory effect and green environmental protection. In order to meet the needs of consumers, one of the direct strategies to improve the energy density of the battery is to raise the charging cut-off voltage of the lithium battery. However, due to the characteristics of the positive active material, the positive active particles are extremely unstable after being delithiated beyond the platform voltage, especially under high temperature test conditions, the reaction is intensified, which is easy to cause the collapse of the structure of the active particles and affect the test performance. The stability of the positive active particles under high voltage has become an important problem encountered in the development of high energy density system lithium ion batteries. SUMMARY
[0003] It is found through research that the electrolyte interface (CEI) on the surface of the positive electrode material of the lithium ion battery is prone to rupture under high temperature environment. After the rupture, the electrolyte cannot prevent direct contact with high-activity ions (such as Co 4+ , Fe 3+ , Mn 2+ , Ni 3+ , Al 3+ , Ti 4+ ), which triggers a continuous side reaction, causing the interface performance between the separator and the positive electrode to deteriorate, and further accelerating the crack and structure collapse of the positive active particles, reducing the high-temperature intermittent cycle capacity retention rate and the recovery capacity retention rate after high-temperature storage of the lithium ion battery.

[0016] The specific embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail below. It should be appreciated that the detailed description of the specific embodiments is merely intended for explanation and illustration and is not intended to limit the present application. In this document, the data ranges include the endpoints unless otherwise indicated.
[0017] It should be noted that the "first", "second", and the like designations in the present application are only used to distinguish different substances or usage manners, and do not represent the difference in order.
[0018] The first aspect of the present application provides a separator, the separator comprising a substrate layer and a coating layer located on one side or both sides of the substrate layer, the coating layer comprising a first coating layer and a second coating layer, the first coating layer being located on the surface of the substrate layer, the second coating layer being located on the surface of the first coating layer, the first coating layer comprising first particles, the first particles comprising an organic compound, the unit molecular structure of the organic compound comprising one or more of a carbon-carbon double bond, a phosphorus-oxygen double bond, a carbon-nitrogen double bond, a carbon-sulfur double bond and a carbon-oxygen double bond; the second coating layer being a porous structure formed by a fluorine-containing polymer as a continuous phase, the surface of the second coating layer comprising through holes, the area of the through holes on the substrate layer and / or the first coating layer in the surface area of the separator being 10%-90%, for example 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90% or within a range between any two of the above values.
[0019] In the present application, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the separator 4 comprises a substrate layer 3 and a coating layer located on one side (as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 ) or both sides (as shown in Figure 3 ) of the substrate layer, the coating layer comprising a first coating layer 1 and a second coating layer 2, the first coating layer being located on the surface of the substrate layer, the second coating layer being located on the surface of the first coating layer.
[0020] The surface of one side or both sides of the base material layer of the diaphragm is coated with a coating layer including a first coating layer and a second coating layer, the first coating layer includes first particles, the composition of the first particles is an organic compound, the unit molecular structure of the organic compound includes carbon-carbon double bond, phosphorus-oxygen double bond, carbon-nitrogen double bond, carbon-sulfur double bond and carbon-oxygen double bond electron-deficient groups, when the battery is in a high temperature state, the first particles in the first coating layer can be dissolved and dissociated to form organic matter containing carbon-carbon double bond, phosphorus-oxygen double bond, carbon-nitrogen double bond, carbon-sulfur double bond or carbon-oxygen double bond electron-deficient groups, these organic matter containing electron-deficient groups quickly diffuse to the interface between the diaphragm and the positive electrode sheet, participate in the CEI film forming reaction, so that the CEI film has excellent high temperature resistance and is not easy to crack, thereby continuously and effectively isolating the electrolyte from the surface of the high-activity positive electrode sheet, inhibiting the occurrence of side reactions, improving the interface performance between the diaphragm and the positive electrode sheet, and reducing the interface impedance. The second coating layer is a porous structure formed by a fluorine-containing polymer as a continuous phase, and the surface of the second coating layer includes through holes, and at the same time, the proportion of the area of the through hole on the surface of the second coating layer in the surface area of the diaphragm is controlled in the above range, when the surface of the first coating layer has the second coating layer, the organic matter containing electron-deficient groups is facilitated to quickly and directionally diffuse from the first coating layer of the diaphragm to the interface of the positive electrode sheet through the through hole, which creates favorable conditions for the organic matter containing electron-deficient groups to participate in the formation of the CEI film, and also limits its excessive diffusion in the electrolyte outside the interface, avoiding its influence on other performances of the battery, and when the proportion of the through hole is less than the above range, the diffusion channel is reduced, which is not conducive to the diffusion of the organic matter containing electron-deficient groups to the interface between the diaphragm and the positive electrode sheet, and when the proportion of the through hole is greater than the above range, the adhesion between the diaphragm and the electrode sheet is not conducive, which reduces the interface performance between the diaphragm and the electrode sheet. The diaphragm of the present application can participate in improving the heat resistance of the CEI film, reducing the risk of CEI film damage at high temperature, improving the high-temperature intermittent cycle capacity retention rate of the battery, reducing the irreversible capacity loss of the battery during high-temperature storage, and improving the recovery capacity retention rate after high-temperature storage.
[0021] It can be understood that in the present application, the first particles in the first coating layer can be dissolved and dissociated to form organic matter containing carbon-carbon double bond, phosphorus-oxygen double bond, carbon-nitrogen double bond, carbon-sulfur double bond or carbon-oxygen double bond electron-deficient groups, which is not present in the form of a group alone, and the organic matter can be one or more of an organic compound, a monomer, and an ion.
[0022] In the present application, the dissolution of the first particles does not mean that the particle state of all the first particles disappears or that all the first particles are completely dissolved, but that the particle state of a single first particle completely disappears or partially disappears, and it can also be that part of the group in a single first particle is dissolved out, and the particle state of a single first particle can also be completely retained.
[0023] In the present application, the through hole refers to a hole that penetrates from one side surface of the second coating layer to the other side surface of the second coating layer in the thickness direction of the separator. It can be understood that in the surface SEM image of the separator, the first coating layer and / or the substrate layer can be seen through the through hole.
[0024] In the present application, in the area of 100 μm x 100 μm of the surface of the second coating layer, the ratio of the area of the orthographic projection of the through hole on the substrate layer and / or the first coating layer in the surface area of the separator can be measured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), specifically: the surface micrograph of the separator is obtained by SEM, an area of 100 μm x 100 μm of the surface of the second coating layer is randomly selected as an analysis area, the area is divided into 400 x 400 uniform squares (it can be understood that the above analysis area is also the area of the surface of the separator, so the number of squares Y of the surface of the separator is 400 x 400), if the coverage area of the through hole in the square exceeds half of the area of the square, it means that the square is occupied by the through hole, otherwise it means that the square is not occupied by the through hole, the number of squares occupied by the through hole is counted, the total number of squares occupied by the through hole is recorded as X, the area ratio is (X / Y) x 100%, the above operation is repeated 5 times, and the average of 5 times is taken as the final measurement result.
[0025] By setting the first particles containing electron-deficient groups on the separator and controlling the coverage of the through hole which facilitates the diffusion of organic matter containing electron-deficient groups, compared with the prior art, the high temperature resistance of the CEI film can be improved, the damage of the CEI film can be reduced or even avoided, and the high temperature intermittent cycle capacity retention rate and the recovery capacity retention rate after high temperature storage of the battery can be improved. In order to further improve the effect, one or more of the technical features can be further optimized.
[0026] In some embodiments, in the area of 100 μm x 100 μm of the surface of the second coating layer, the ratio of the area of the orthographic projection of the through hole on the substrate layer and / or the first coating layer in the surface area of the separator is 20%-80%.
[0027] In some embodiments, the coating layer includes the first coating layer and the second coating layer, and it can be understood that at this time the structure of the separator is that the first coating layer is located on one side or both sides of the surface of the substrate layer, and the second coating layer is located on the surface of the first coating layer (as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first coating layer includes first particles, the composition of the first particles includes elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur and elemental phosphorus, and the second coating layer includes fluorine-containing polymer, and the second coating layer includes elemental fluorine.
[0028] In some embodiments, the coating includes the first coating and the second coating, and the ratio of the weight of elemental fluorine to the sum of the weights of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and elemental phosphorus on the surface of the coating on the side of the coating away from the substrate layer is (0.25-3): 1, for example, 0.25: 1, 0.5: 1, 0.75: 1, 1: 1, 1.5: 1, 2: 1, 2.5: 1, 3: 1, or within a range between any two of the above values. The weight of elemental fluorine refers to the weight of all fluorine elements exposed on the surface of the coating, and the sum of the weights of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and elemental phosphorus refers to the total weight of the three elements exposed on the surface of the coating. It is understood that, since the surface of the second coating includes through holes, the through holes can expose the first coating and / or the substrate layer, and thus, when the coating includes the first coating and the second coating, the surface of the coating can include the surface of the second coating, the surface of the first coating. On the surface of the coating on the side of the coating away from the substrate layer, the elements exposed on the surface of the coating can include one or more of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and elemental phosphorus, and elemental fluorine. When the elements exposed on the surface of the coating on the side of the coating away from the substrate layer include one of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and elemental phosphorus, the sum of the weights of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and elemental phosphorus refers to the weight of the one element (i.e., one of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and elemental phosphorus); when the surface of the coating on the side of the coating away from the substrate layer includes multiple of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and elemental phosphorus, the sum of the weights of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and elemental phosphorus refers to the sum of the weights of the multiple elements (multiple of elemental nitrogen, elemental sulfur, and elemental phosphorus).
[0029] Specifically, when the coating includes a large number of through holes, the elements exposed on the surface of the coating should include not only the elements of the second coating but also the elements exposed through the pores of the second coating, so that the content of the elements exposed on the surface of the coating can reflect the overall performance of the coating and the interface performance between the separator and the pole piece.
[0030] By controlling the ratio of the weight of element fluorine to the sum of the weights of element nitrogen, element sulfur and element phosphorus in the surface of the first coating layer and the second coating layer away from the substrate layer within the above range, on the one hand, the electron-deficient groups of carbon-carbon double bond, phosphorus-oxygen double bond, carbon-nitrogen double bond, carbon-sulfur double bond or carbon-oxygen double bond and fluorine element can be further promoted to act on the CEI film, the high-temperature performance of the CEI film is improved, and the interface performance between the separator and the positive electrode sheet is improved. On the other hand, by using the electron-withdrawing property between the double bond (for example, one or more of carbon-carbon double bond, phosphorus-oxygen double bond, carbon-nitrogen double bond, carbon-sulfur double bond and carbon-oxygen double bond) formed by element fluorine and one or more of element nitrogen, element sulfur and element phosphorus, the adhesion between the first coating layer and the second coating layer under high temperature is improved, the interface performance between the separator and the electrode sheet under high temperature is improved, the structural stability of the separator is improved, the first coating layer and the second coating layer are prevented from separating, and the interface impedance is prevented from being too large in the high-temperature intermittent cycle process, thereby affecting the high-temperature intermittent cycle capacity retention rate.
[0031] In some embodiments, the coating layer includes the first coating layer and the second coating layer, and the ratio of the weight of element fluorine to the sum of the weights of element nitrogen, element sulfur and element phosphorus in the surface of the coating layer away from the substrate layer is (0.35-2):1.
[0032] In the present application, the coating layer includes the first coating layer and the second coating layer, and the ratio of the weight of element fluorine to the sum of the weights of element nitrogen, element sulfur and element phosphorus in the surface of the coating layer away from the substrate layer can be measured by an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Specifically, first, the surface of the coating layer is cleaned with a solvent and dried, a standard sample containing element fluorine, element nitrogen, element sulfur and element phosphorus is used to calibrate the system, and EDS surface scanning analysis is performed on the surface of the coating layer away from the substrate layer under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to obtain the weight a1 of element fluorine and the sum b1 of the weights of element nitrogen, element sulfur and element phosphorus, and the ratio a1:b1 of the weight of element fluorine to the sum of the weights of element nitrogen, element sulfur and element phosphorus is calculated.
[0033] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first coating layer is 0.2 μm-5 μm, for example, 0.2 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.8 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 2.8 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 3.8 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm or within a range formed by any two of the above values.
[0034] In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the first particles in the first coating layer is 90%-99%, for example, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or within a range formed by any two of the above values.
[0035] In some embodiments, the first particles have a median particle size Dv50 of 0.05-5 μm, for example 0.05 μm, 0.08 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, or within a range between any two of the aforementioned values. Controlling the median particle size of the first particles within the aforementioned range improves the softness of the first coating, thereby improving the adhesion of the separator to the electrode, maintaining the integrity of the electrode structure, improving the cycle performance of the battery at room temperature, while enhancing the adhesion strength between the first coating and the substrate layer and the second coating, maintaining the structural stability of the separator, reducing the cycle interface impedance between the separator and the electrode, and improving the cycle performance of the battery at room temperature.
[0036] In the present application, the median particle size Dv50 of the first particles refers to the particle size corresponding to 50% of the cumulative volume particle size distribution of the first particles arranged in ascending order of particle size. The median particle size Dv50 of the first particles can be measured using a Malvern Mastersizer 3000 laser particle size analyzer.
[0037] In some embodiments, the first particles have a specific surface area of 4 m 2 / g-35 m 2 / g, for example 4 m 2 / g, 6 m 2 / g, 10 m 2 / g, 12 m 2 / g, 14 m 2 / g, 16 m 2 / g, 18 m 2 / g, 20 m 2 / g, 30 m 2 / g, 35 m 2 / g, or within a range between any two of the aforementioned values. When the specific surface area of the first particles is controlled within the aforementioned range, the contact area between the first particles and the electrolyte is large, and the dissolution rate is accelerated. At high temperatures, atoms on the surface of the first particles are more likely to generate organic compounds containing electron-deficient groups, so that the organic compounds containing electron-deficient groups participate more quickly and more in the construction of the CEI film, forming a more high-temperature-resistant electrolyte film (CEI film), avoiding damage to the separator, and improving the high-temperature intermittent cycle capacity retention rate and the recovery capacity retention rate after high-temperature storage of the battery.
[0038] In some embodiments, in the unit structure of the organic compound, the sum of the number of carbon-carbon double bonds, phosphorus-oxygen double bonds, carbon-nitrogen double bonds, carbon-sulfur double bonds, and carbon-oxygen double bonds is 3-12, for example 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or within a range between any two of the aforementioned values.
[0039] The number of carbon-carbon double bonds, phosphorus-oxygen double bonds, carbon-nitrogen double bonds, carbon-sulfur double bonds, and carbon-oxygen double bonds in the unit structure of the organic compound is controlled within the above range, which on the one hand ensures the rigidity of the chemical structure of the organic compound, thereby improving the rigidity of the first particles and maintaining the structural stability of the first coating; on the other hand, the appropriate number of electron-deficient groups can promote the participation of the dissociated organic compounds in the CEI film-forming reaction, thereby improving the stability of the film formation; if the number of electron-deficient groups is too small, the rigidity of the particles is not enough, and the structural stability of the coating is poor; if the number of electron-deficient groups is too large, the chemical oxidation resistance of the particles is poor, which leads to the first coating being easily oxidized, increasing the side reactions of the electrolyte and causing gas generation after high-temperature storage.
[0040] In some embodiments, the organic compound comprises one or more of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine, melamine polyphosphate, melamine hydrobromide, melamine polyphosphates, sym-triaminotriazine, 2-(4-bromophenyl)-4,6-dimethyl-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-diamino-6-dimethylamino-1,3,5-triazine, cyanuric chloride, melamine trithiocyanate, melamine cyanurate, 2-amino-4,6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine, 1-(4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)guanidine, uracil, cytosine, 5-azacytosine, indole-3-propionic acid, N4-methylcytosine, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone, formaldehyde poly melamine hydrochloride, 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine, 2-quinoline sulfonic acid and 2-quinoline sulfonate, 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)triazine, tris(tribromophenoxy)triazine, dithiourea, 2,4-dimercapto-5,6-diaminopyrimidine, 4,6-dimethyl-2-mercaptopyrimidine, 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thione salt, coumarin-3-sulfonate, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-phospholene 1-oxide.
[0041] In some embodiments, the first coating comprises a binder, and the weight percentage of the binder in the first coating is 1%-10%, for example, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, or within a range between any two of the above values.

[0044] In some embodiments, the fluoropolymer in the second coating layer accounts for 70% to 100% by weight, for example, 70%, 72%, 75%, 78%, 80%, 83%, 85%, 88%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 98%, 100%, or within a range between any two of the above values.

[0046] In some embodiments, the fluoropolymer comprises one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and fluorine-containing acrylate resin.
[0047] In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the first coating layer to the thickness of the second coating layer is 0.4 to 3, for example, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2, 2.4, 2.8, 3, or within a range between any two of the above values. Controlling the ratio of the thickness of the first coating layer to the thickness of the second coating layer within the above range can shorten the path of the electron-deficient group-containing organic matter produced by the dissolution of the first particles in the electrolyte under high temperature conditions to diffuse to the positive electrode sheet via the second coating layer, ensuring that the electron-deficient group-containing organic matter can smoothly pass through the second coating layer and reach the positive electrode sheet side to participate in the film-forming reaction of the CEI film.
[0048] In some embodiments, the coating layer is located on one side surface of the substrate layer, and the other side surface of the substrate layer comprises a third coating layer (as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 ).
[0049] In some embodiments, the third coating and the second coating are the same, the surface of the third coating comprises through-holes (e.g., as shown in FIG. 6). It should be understood that the same here refers to the same composition and structure of the coating, but the thickness of the coating can be the same or different. Figure 1
[0050] In some embodiments, the third coating and the second coating are different, the surface of the third coating does not comprise through-holes (e.g., as shown in FIG. 6). Figure 2
