Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lithium battery separators, in particular to a lithium battery coated separator based on a polymer ion conductor coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In today's era, with the widespread adoption of portable electronics and the rapidly growing demand for new energy sources, lithium-ion batteries, with their outstanding advantages such as high energy density, long lifespan, and low self-discharge, have become a core force in the energy storage field. From everyday electronic devices like mobile phones and laptops to large-scale applications such as electric vehicles and energy storage power stations, lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous, and their performance is directly related to the operating efficiency and reliability of these devices and systems.

[0003] In the structure of lithium-ion batteries, the separator is a key internal component, and its performance plays a decisive role in the overall performance of the battery. The separator performs two crucial tasks: first, it separates the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, effectively preventing contact and short circuits, which is essential for safe and stable battery operation; second, it allows electrolyte ions to pass through, creating a pathway for ion transport and ensuring the smooth progress of electrochemical reactions within the battery. Currently, commercially available separator materials are primarily polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene. However, these polyolefin-based separators have several significant drawbacks. For example, their suboptimal porosity limits ion transport efficiency; their poor thermal stability makes them susceptible to shrinkage and deformation at high temperatures, even leading to internal short circuits and potential safety hazards; and their poor wettability with polar liquid electrolytes increases the resistance and reduces the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. These shortcomings not only hinder further improvements in lithium-ion battery performance but also hinder their ability to meet the increasingly stringent demands of emerging applications such as electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage. In order to break through the performance bottleneck of polyolefin-based membranes, polymer-coated membrane technology has emerged through continuous exploration and innovation, showing great potential in improving the performance and safety of lithium batteries.

[0004] Current diaphragm polymer coating materials mainly include PVDF-HFP and modified PMMA functional coating materials. These materials usually require heating and pressurization for hot pressing with electrodes, which will have a negative impact on battery performance. Attempting to use room temperature composite technology will cause the coating to block the diaphragm pores, increase the battery DCR, and the interface adhesion between the diaphragm and the electrode will fail after the battery cycle, resulting in a decrease in battery performance.

[0005] Therefore, the development of a lithium battery coated diaphragm based on a polymer ion conductor coating and a preparation method thereof has important practical significance. Summary of the Invention
