Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to water-soluble lithium-ion battery ceramic separator adhesives, their preparation methods, and applications, belonging to the field of battery separator adhesive technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, lithium batteries primarily employ a ceramic coating on a polyolefin separator. This ceramic coating effectively improves the separator's heat resistance. The ceramic coating is mainly prepared using ceramics and water-based binders, and its quality directly impacts the performance of the final battery.

[0003] Existing lithium-ion battery ceramic separators primarily use emulsion-type waterborne adhesives with acrylate monomers as the main raw material. However, emulsion-type waterborne adhesives suffer from poor mechanical stability and storage stability. Furthermore, when using waterborne adhesives to formulate lithium-ion battery ceramic separator slurries, they exhibit poor dispersibility with water and ceramic powder, resulting in poor wetting performance of polyolefin-based membranes. Therefore, it is necessary to add dispersants, thickeners, wetting agents, and other additives to improve the stability of the slurry.

[0004] Compared to traditional double-sided coating, single-sided coating is a cost-effective design for industrial applications. Practical applications show that ceramic-coated separators prepared with single-sided coating also exhibit excellent overall performance. Currently, lithium-ion battery ceramic separators are becoming increasingly thin, resulting in poor heat and water resistance and significant appearance defects. Therefore, there is a need to develop a more stable solution-based aqueous adhesive that possesses self-dispersibility, self-wetting properties, and excellent heat and water resistance.

[0005] Chinese invention application CN110190235A discloses an aqueous solution-type ceramic separator adhesive for lithium batteries, its preparation method and application.

[0059] The water is divided into two parts: the first part accounts for 47% of the total water volume, and the second part accounts for 53% of the total water volume, which are to be used later.

[0060] (2) Add polyvinyl alcohol and the first portion of water into a reaction flask, heat to 95°C and stir until completely dissolved, cool the polyvinyl alcohol solution to 70°C and continue stirring, and set aside for use;

[0068] The difference from Example 1 is that the polymerization raw materials are changed, and the specific changes are shown in Table 1.

[0069] Table 1

[0070]

[0071] Comparative Example 1

[0072] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that 2.2% of acrylonitrile was replaced with an equal amount of deionized water, resulting in a yellow transparent aqueous solution with a viscosity of about 7000 cp and a solid content of 18%.

[0073] Comparative Example 2

[0074] The comparative example differs from Example 1 in that the water-soluble polymer is blended with the polymerized monomer, i.e., it is prepared according to the following method:

[0083] The viscosity measurement method is as follows: The temperature in the constant temperature bath is raised to 25℃ and maintained at this temperature. Approximately 350g of the sample to be tested is poured into a clean, dry measuring cup, sealed with the rubber stopper of a thermometer, and then placed in the constant temperature bath for heating until the sample reaches 25℃ (stirring approximately every 5 minutes to ensure uniform concentration and temperature within the sample), and then maintained at this temperature for another 10 minutes before testing. The sample, heated to 25℃, is then tested using a digital viscometer with a 64-gauge rotor at 30 rpm for 3 minutes. Data is collected by averaging single-point measurements.

[0084] The method for determining water absorption rate is as follows: Weigh the dried film and record the weight as M1; place the film at 65% humidity for 7 days and record the weight as M2.

[0085] Water absorption rate = (M2 - M1 / ​​M1 * 100%)

[0086] Preparation method of adhesive film: Pour the adhesive liquid evenly into a fixed circular mold, place it in a forced-air drying oven, and dry at 70℃ for 12 hours.

[0087] Test case

[0089] The preparation method of the ceramic diaphragm includes the following steps:

[0090] Basic ceramic slurry formulation: 97 parts ceramic powder and 3 parts binder are mixed to form a ceramic slurry with a solid content of 38%. The slurry is dispersed using a top-mounted electric stirrer equipped with a four-blade impeller at a speed of 800–1000 rpm for 30–60 minutes to obtain the ceramic diaphragm slurry. Then, using a polyolefin (PE) diaphragm as the substrate, a ceramic slurry coating of approximately 2 μm thickness is applied to obtain a diaphragm with a ceramic coating (referred to as a ceramic diaphragm). The basic properties of the ceramic diaphragm are then tested.

Cut 100mm along the length of the product as the length of the MD (Machine Direction, mechanical stretching direction or longitudinal direction) for heat shrinkage rate testing.

[0103] Test Method: Heat the sample in an electric constant temperature chamber to the specified temperature. Measure and record the longitudinal and transverse dimensions of each sample, and number them. Place the sample evenly and flat within the paper sleeve layers (5 layers in total).
