The following description of embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples. In the accompanying drawings and the following description, at least some well-known structures and techniques are not shown to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the application; and, for clarity, the dimensions of some structures may be exaggerated.

In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0036] This application provides a high-strength battery separator with high tensile strength and high puncture strength to improve the problem of the separator being easily damaged during battery assembly and punctured by lithium dendrites during cycling, thereby improving the reliability of the battery; the high-strength battery separator provided in this application also has high thermal stability.

[0037] High-strength battery separator

[0038] The first aspect of this application provides a high-strength battery separator. The raw materials of the separator include polyolefin resin and a pore-forming agent. Based on the total mass of the raw materials, the weight content of the polyolefin resin is 10%-25%, and the weight content of the pore-forming agent is 75%-90%. The polyolefin resin is ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and the average molecular weight of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is 1 million to 5 million.

[0039] In this embodiment, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is used as the main raw material for high-strength battery separators. By adjusting the proportion of polyolefin resin in the raw materials, the resulting high-strength battery separator can have high tensile strength and puncture strength, while also having a low thermal shrinkage rate. This gives the high-strength battery separator high mechanical strength and high-temperature resistance, thereby reducing damage to the separator caused by stress, collisions, and drops during battery assembly. It also reduces the risk of lithium dendrites puncturing the separator during cycling, thereby lowering the risk of short circuits or even secondary battery failure and improving the reliability of secondary batteries. Figure 1 and Figure 2 SEM images of high-strength battery separators prepared in some embodiments of this application are shown. It can be seen that the separators have a good pore structure.

[0040] In some embodiments, the average molecular weight of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene can be 1.2 million to 4 million, more preferably 1.3 million to 3 million, and even more preferably 1.4 million to 2 million.

[0041] By controlling the average molecular weight of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene within the aforementioned range, high-strength battery separators can have higher tensile and puncture strength, further enhancing their mechanical strength and thus improving the reliability of secondary batteries.

[0042] In some embodiments, based on the total mass of the raw materials, the weight content of the polyolefin resin can be 15%-22%, optionally 18%-22%; the weight content of the pore-forming agent can be 78%-85%, optionally 78%-82%.

[0043] By controlling the proportions of polyolefin resin and pore-forming agent in the raw materials of high-strength battery separators within the above-mentioned range, high-strength battery separators can achieve both higher mechanical strength and higher porosity, as well as uniform pore size distribution.

[0044] In some embodiments, the pore-forming agent includes one or more of paraffin oil, p-xylene, and nonane.

[0045] The aforementioned pore-forming agent can be uniformly dispersed in polyolefin resin, and can form pores of uniform size and distribution on high-strength battery separators through extraction pore formation, so that the high-strength battery separators have high porosity and ion permeability.

[0046] In some embodiments, the thickness of the high-strength battery separator is 2μm-9μm, and optionally 3μm-8μm.

[0047] In some embodiments, the porosity of the high-strength battery separator is 25%-45%, optionally 28%-40%.

[0048] The porosity of a battery separator refers to the ratio of the pore volume to the total volume of the separator. It can be measured using methods commonly used in the field, such as the liquid absorption method, calculation method, and instrumental testing method. Controlling the porosity of a high-strength battery separator within the above-mentioned range can give the separator higher ion permeability, thereby improving the electrochemical performance of the secondary battery.

[0049] In some embodiments, the air permeability of the high-strength battery separator is 90s / 100mL-160s / 100mL.

[0050] The gas permeability of a high-strength battery separator refers to the time it takes for a certain volume of air to pass through a specified area of ​​the separator under a certain pressure, and it can be tested using methods commonly used in the field. For example, it can be tested according to the methods specified in GB / T 1038-2022 "Test Method for Gas Permeability of Plastic Films and Sheets".

[0051] In some embodiments, the pore size of the high-strength battery separator is 20nm-100nm, and optionally 25nm-90nm.

[0052] By limiting the pore size of the high-strength battery separator to the above-mentioned range, the separator can have better ion permeability, resulting in lower internal resistance of the secondary battery and thus improving the electrochemical performance of the secondary battery. At the same time, when the pore size of the separator is limited to the above-mentioned range, the separator has higher puncture strength, which can reduce the risk of lithium dendrite growth puncturing the separator and improve the reliability of the secondary battery.

[0053] In some embodiments, the MD tensile strength of the diaphragm is greater than or equal to 3500 kgf / cm². 2 .

[0054] In some embodiments, the tensile strength (TD) of the diaphragm is greater than or equal to 3500 kgf / cm². 2 .

[0055] In some embodiments, the puncture strength of the diaphragm is greater than or equal to 400 gf.

[0056] In some embodiments, the MD thermal shrinkage rate of the diaphragm is less than or equal to 3%.

[0057] In some embodiments, the TD heat shrinkage rate of the diaphragm is less than or equal to 2%.

[0058] Preparation method of high-strength battery separator

[0059] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a method for preparing a high-strength battery separator, comprising the following steps S100 to S300:

[0060] S100 provides a homogeneous mixture comprising a polyolefin resin and a pore-forming agent;

[0061] S200, a homogeneous mixture is extruded to obtain a diaphragm sheet;

[0062] S300 involves sequentially stretching the separator sheet longitudinally (MD), performing a first transverse stretch (TD1), extracting pores, and performing a second transverse stretch (TD2) to obtain a high-strength battery separator.

[0063] In this embodiment, the high-strength battery separator is obtained by extrusion molding followed by biaxial stretching. The stretched film is then extracted to remove the pore-forming agent, forming uniformly distributed pores on the membrane material. This results in a high-strength battery separator with high porosity and ion permeability. Simultaneously, longitudinal stretching and two transverse stretching operations enhance the tensile and puncture strength of the high-strength battery separator, thereby improving its mechanical strength and increasing the reliability of the rechargeable battery.

[0064] In some embodiments, extruding the homogeneous mixture to obtain a diaphragm sheet includes: heating and melting the homogeneous mixture in a twin-screw extruder to form a homogeneous melt, extruding the melt through a die, and cooling and shaping it on a chilling roller to obtain a diaphragm sheet.

[0065] In some embodiments, the longitudinal stretch (MD) stretch ratio can be 8-20 times, optionally 9-18 times, and more preferably 9-14 times.

[0066] In some embodiments, the longitudinal stretching temperature can be 30℃-100℃, and optionally 50℃-80℃.

[0067] By controlling the longitudinal stretching ratio and processing temperature within the above range, high-strength battery separators can have higher tensile strength and puncture strength, thereby improving their mechanical strength properties.

[0068] In some embodiments, the stretching ratio of a single transverse stretch (TD1) can be 8-20 times, optionally 9-18 times, and more preferably 10-15 times.

[0069] In some embodiments, the temperature for a single transverse stretching can be 30℃-200℃, optionally 40℃-180℃, and more preferably 50℃-170℃.

[0070] By controlling the stretching ratio and processing temperature of a single transverse stretch within the above range, the high-strength battery separator can have higher tensile strength and puncture strength, thereby improving the mechanical strength performance of the high-strength battery separator.

[0071] In some embodiments, the stretching ratio of the secondary transverse stretching (TD2) can be 2-15 times, optionally 4-12 times, and more preferably 5-10 times.

[0072] In some embodiments, the temperature for the secondary transverse stretching can be 100℃-230℃, optionally 120℃-210℃, and more preferably 140℃-200℃.

[0073] By controlling the stretching ratio and temperature of the secondary transverse stretching within the above range, the high-strength battery separator can have higher tensile strength and puncture strength, thereby improving the mechanical strength performance of the high-strength battery separator.

[0074] In some embodiments, the diaphragm sheet further includes a shrinkage process after secondary transverse stretching, with a shrinkage ratio of 10%-30%, optionally 15%-28%, and more preferably 20%.

[0075] Immediately shrinking the membrane material after secondary lateral stretching can further stabilize the membrane's shape, giving it higher thermal stability. This reduces the thermal shrinkage rate of high-strength battery separators, thereby improving their high-temperature resistance.

[0076] In some embodiments, after secondary transverse stretching and retraction, the membrane material is further subjected to heat treatment; the heat treatment temperature can be 20℃-80℃, optionally 30℃-70℃, and more preferably 40℃-60℃; the heat treatment time can be 20s-180s, optionally 30s-160s, and more preferably 40s-150s.

[0077] Heat treatment can eliminate thermal stress inside high-strength battery separators and improve their thermal stability.

[0078] In some embodiments, before longitudinal stretching of the diaphragm sheet, the method further includes: edge trimming of the diaphragm sheet. The diaphragm sheet obtained by extrusion molding is trimmed, with the trimmed side being the width side of the diaphragm sheet. The trimming can be done on one side or both sides. Pre-treating the width of the diaphragm sheet by trimming allows the transverse stretching ratio of the diaphragm sheet to be less constrained by the theoretically designed width of the production equipment, thereby increasing the transverse stretching ratio of the diaphragm and thus improving its tensile strength and puncture strength. Furthermore, the trimming process makes the sheet edges smoother and flatter, reducing the risk of the diaphragm sheet breaking under high stretching conditions.

[0079] In some embodiments, the slit width H1 of the diaphragm sheet and the width H2 of the diaphragm sheet satisfy the following condition: 10mm ≤ H1 ≤ 0.5H2.

[0080] Optionally, the slice width can be 50mm-400mm, optionally 80mm-300mm, or even more preferably 100mm-200mm.

[0081] By limiting the cutting edge width to the above range, the limitation of the theoretical design width of the equipment on the lateral stretching ratio can be further reduced, thereby increasing the lateral stretching ratio of the separator and thus improving the tensile strength and puncture strength of the high-strength battery separator.

[0082] In some embodiments, extraction pore formation includes: extracting pores in an extractant on a membrane material that has undergone one lateral stretching, followed by drying.

[0083] After the membrane material is immersed in the extractant following a transverse stretching process, the pore-forming agent in the membrane material is dissolved by the extractant and separated from the membrane. Micropores are formed at the locations of the pore-forming agent on the membrane, resulting in a membrane with a porous structure. The extractant may include volatile substances, such as one or more of dichloromethane and cyclohexane.

[0084] In some embodiments, the drying temperature can be 25°C-100°C, optionally 30°C-90°C, and more preferably 40°C-80°C.

[0085] In some embodiments, the drying time can be 5s-120s, optionally 10s-110s, or more preferably 20s-100s.

[0086] In some embodiments, the diaphragm further includes an electrostatic elimination treatment after drying.

[0087] By installing an electrostatic eliminator near the diaphragm to eliminate static electricity, the static electricity generated by friction between the diaphragm and guide rollers can be reduced or eliminated, thereby reducing the risk of the diaphragm being damaged due to excessive static electricity.

[0088] Secondary batteries

[0089] An embodiment of the third aspect of this application provides a secondary battery, including a high-strength battery separator according to the first aspect of this application or a high-strength battery separator obtained according to the preparation method of the second aspect of this application.

[0094] S100 is prepared by mixing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with a molecular weight of 1 million to 5 million with pore-forming agent paraffin oil at a mass ratio of 18:82 to obtain a homogeneous mixture.

[0095] S200: The homogeneous mixture is added to a twin-screw extruder, heated and melted at 60℃-30℃ and then cooled and shaped on a chiller roll to obtain a diaphragm sheet with uniform thickness and a total width of 780mm.

[0099] S600 extracts the membrane material after one transverse stretching with dichloromethane. The extracted membrane is dried at 80°C for 60 seconds and then destatically removed by an electrostatic eliminator.

[0100] S700 involves subjecting the membrane material to a secondary transverse stretching (TD2) treatment at 150℃, followed by immediate shrinkage after the secondary transverse stretching, with a shrinkage ratio of 20% and a stretching ratio of 8 times.

[0101] S800 heat-treated the separator at 60°C for 130s to obtain a high-strength battery separator with a thickness of 5μm.

[0114] Test section

[0115] The performance of the battery separators prepared in the examples and comparative examples was tested.

[0116] Porosity test: Cut a 100mm × 100mm square sample, weigh the square diaphragm sample, and calculate the basis weight ρ1 of the diaphragm sample (unit: g / m³). 2 The average thickness d (unit: μm) of the square diaphragm sample was calculated by measuring the thickness at five points on the sample using a Marl thickness gauge. The density of the polyethylene raw material was taken as ρ0 = 0.95 g / cm³. 3 The formula for calculating porosity is as follows: Porosity = (1 - ρ1 / (d*ρ0)) * 100%.

[0117] Pore ​​size testing: The surface morphology of the diaphragm was characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to obtain the pore size of the diaphragm.

[0119] Tensile strength test: Using an intelligent electronic tensile testing machine, the diaphragms of each embodiment and comparative example were cut into samples with a length of 100 mm and a width of 15 mm, and tensile strength data were obtained by stretching at 250 mm / min.

[0120] Puncture strength test: The puncture strength of the diaphragm is determined using a puncture instrument. Specifically, a 1mm diameter needle with no sharp edge at the tip is used to puncture the diaphragm vertically at a speed of 0.1cm / s, and the puncture strength data is obtained.

[0121] Heat shrinkage rate test: Cut a 100mm×100mm square sample from the diaphragm of each example and comparative example, measure the length in the MD / TD direction and record it as L0. Place the sample in an electric heating oven and bake at 105℃ for 1 hour. Take it out and measure the length in the MD / TD direction and record it as L. The formula for calculating the heat shrinkage rate is as follows: Heat shrinkage rate = (L0-L) / L0×100%.
