Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of adhesive technology, specifically to a flame-retardant sealant for battery cell lead terminals and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industries such as new energy vehicles, energy storage batteries, and portable electronic devices, the safety performance of battery cells, as core energy supply components, has received widespread attention. Lead terminals, as key interfaces connecting the battery cell to external circuits, require sealant to achieve insulation, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, and fixation. Flame retardancy is a crucial indicator to ensure the battery cell avoids the spread of fire under extreme conditions such as high temperatures and short circuits.

[0003] Existing sealants for battery cell lead terminals are mostly based on epoxy resin and silicone. While they offer some adhesion and sealing, their flame-retardant properties are significantly lacking. Traditional products often use a single inorganic flame retardant (such as magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide), requiring large amounts to achieve the basic flame-retardant rating. This leads to a decrease in the sealant's mechanical properties, reduced adhesive strength, and poor resistance to high and low temperature cycling, making it prone to cracking and detachment. Some products use organic flame retardants, but although added in small amounts, their thermal stability is insufficient. They easily decompose at high temperatures, producing toxic gases, and also have poor compatibility with the base adhesive, affecting the sealant's storage stability and performance.

[0004] Currently, domestic and international standards for battery cell safety are becoming increasingly stringent, requiring sealants to meet the UL94 V-0 flame retardant standard while also ensuring good adhesion, aging resistance, and environmental friendliness. Existing sealants struggle to balance flame retardancy efficiency with overall performance, failing to meet the demands of high-end battery cells and limiting the safety upgrades of related equipment. Therefore, developing a battery cell lead terminal sealant with high flame retardancy efficiency and excellent overall performance has become a pressing technical challenge for the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a flame-retardant sealant for battery cell lead terminals and its preparation method. This flame-retardant sealant for battery cell lead terminals possesses high flame-retardant efficiency and excellent overall performance, balancing flame retardancy with mechanical and adhesive properties.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] Firstly, this application provides:

[0008] A flame-retardant battery cell lead terminal sealant, by weight, comprises the following raw material components: 30-50 parts base adhesive, 20-40 parts composite flame retardant, 5-15 parts curing agent, 1-3 parts silane coupling agent, 3-8 parts toughening agent, and 1-5 parts thixotropic agent.

[0009] The composite flame retardant is a mixture of aluminum hydroxide and organophosphorus flame retardant, with a mass ratio of 0.2:1.5.

[0010] The organophosphorus flame retardant has the structure shown in Formula 1;

[0011] Formula 1;

[0012] In Formula 1, R1 is any one of hydrogen, hydroxyl, or alkyl group having 1-5 carbon atoms.

[0013] Furthermore, the organophosphorus flame retardant is a compound with a novel structure.

[0014] Secondly, this application provides:

[0015] A method for preparing a flame-retardant battery cell lead terminal sealant includes the following steps:

[0016] S1: Add the base rubber, toughening agent and thixotropic agent into a mixing device and premix for 10-30 minutes at room temperature (20-30℃) and speed (200-500rpm) to obtain a premixed rubber compound;

[0017] S2: Add the composite flame retardant and silane coupling agent to the premixed rubber compound, maintain a speed of 200-500 rpm, and continue stirring for 15-40 minutes to obtain the intermediate rubber compound;

[0018] S3: Add curing agent to the intermediate adhesive, adjust the speed to 300-600 rpm, stir for 10-25 minutes, and when the material is mixed evenly and there are no obvious particles, the flame-retardant battery cell lead terminal sealant is obtained.

[0019] Thirdly, the analysis of the components and preparation mechanism of this application is as follows:

[0020] The component design and preparation process of this application are not simply a combination of raw materials or steps, but a scientific solution formed through systematic research based on the core requirements of the target function and combined with the fundamental principles and practical experience of this application. Its core mechanism can be summarized as follows:

[0021] This invention systematically solves the core technical problem of balancing flame retardancy and overall performance in existing sealants through the proportions and synergistic effects of its components: the base adhesive uses bisphenol A epoxy resin or bisphenol F epoxy resin, providing a good bonding foundation and insulation performance for the sealant, ensuring the core requirements of fixing and insulating the lead terminals; the composite flame retardant is made by compounding aluminum hydroxide and a novel organic phosphorus flame retardant at a mass ratio of 0.2:1.5. The inorganic phase aluminum hydroxide absorbs heat and dehydrates at high temperatures to form a dense flame retardant layer, while the organic phase organic phosphorus flame retardant inhibits the combustion chain reaction through a gas-phase flame retardant mechanism. The synergistic effect of the two significantly improves the flame retardant efficiency, achieving UL94 without the need for large amounts of additives. The V-0 standard avoids the mechanical performance degradation caused by a single inorganic flame retardant. Meanwhile, the novel organic phosphorus flame retardant structure exhibits excellent thermal stability, solving the problems of easy decomposition and toxic gas generation associated with traditional organic flame retardants. Silane coupling agents effectively improve the interfacial compatibility between the composite flame retardant and the base adhesive, preventing flame retardant aggregation and ensuring the storage stability and performance of the sealant. Toughening agents compensate for the brittleness that may result from the addition of flame-retardant components, improving the sealant's toughness and resistance to high and low temperature cycling, preventing cracking and detachment under extreme conditions. Thixotropic agents optimize the rheological properties of the adhesive, ensuring ease of application without affecting bond strength. The curing agent fully cross-links with the base adhesive to form a dense network structure, strengthening bond strength and aging resistance while locking in flame-retardant components, further enhancing thermal stability. Ultimately, this achieves a synergistic balance of flame-retardant efficiency, mechanical properties, adhesion, aging resistance, and environmental friendliness, meeting the stringent requirements of high-end battery cells.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] 1. Flame retardancy efficiency and environmental friendliness are synergistically improved. Through the precise compounding of inorganic-organic composite flame retardants, the problems of traditional single flame retardants requiring large amounts of addition or being prone to decomposition and toxicity at high temperatures are avoided. This ensures high flame retardancy while taking into account environmental friendliness.

[0024] 2. More balanced overall performance: With the help of toughening agents and silane coupling agents, the problems of decreased mechanical properties, easy cracking and falling off, and poor storage stability of existing sealants when the flame retardancy is improved are solved, and the synergistic optimization of flame retardancy, adhesion and aging resistance is achieved.

[0025] 3. It has a stronger ability to adapt to high-end needs and can stably meet the stringent UL94 V-0 flame retardant standard and the usage requirements of the battery cells under extreme working conditions, breaking through the limitation of existing products that are difficult to adapt to the safety upgrade of high-end battery cells in fields such as new energy vehicles and energy storage batteries.

[0097] Comparative Example 1

[0098] The preparation of a flame-retardant battery cell lead terminal sealant is carried out by referring to the preparation method of Example 1, except that the organophosphorus flame retardant 1 is replaced with resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP), and the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0102] The preparation of a flame-retardant battery cell lead terminal sealant is the same as in Example 1, except that the organophosphorus flame retardant is not added.

[0103] Comparative Example 4

[0104] The preparation of a flame-retardant battery cell lead terminal sealant is the same as in Example 1, except that aluminum hydroxide is not added.

[0105] Comparative Example 5

[0106] The preparation of a flame-retardant battery cell lead terminal sealant is based on the preparation method of Example 1, except that the composite flame retardant is replaced with a mixture of 17 parts aluminum hydroxide and 17 parts organophosphorus flame retardant in a mass ratio of 1:1, and the rest remains the same as in Example 1.

[0107] Comparative Example 6

[0108] The preparation of a flame-retardant battery cell lead terminal sealant is the same as in Example 1, except that the toughening agent is not added.

[0109] Performance testing:

[0110] 1. Flame retardant performance test: The test was conducted in accordance with UL94-2023, and the data is shown in Table 1.

[0111] 2. Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) Test: The test was conducted in accordance with GB / T 2406.2-2009, and the data are shown in Table 1.

[0112] 3. Mechanical property testing: The test was conducted in accordance with GB / T 1040.1-2006. The sealant was injected into a standard dumbbell-shaped mold, cured, and then cut into standard strips (2 mm thick). The tensile strength (MPa) was tested, and the data are shown in Table 1.

[0113] 4. Storage stability test: The sealant was sealed in the original packaging container and stored at 40±2℃ for 8 months. The flame retardant performance was then retested, and the data are shown in Table 1.

[0114] Table 1

[0115]

[0116] The differences in the data in Table 1 stem from the integrity and effectiveness of the synergistic effect of the components within the sealant system: Examples 1-5 strictly adhere to the compounding ratio of aluminum hydroxide (inorganic phase) and novel organophosphorus flame retardant (organic phase) of 0.2:1.5, forming a dual-effect synergistic mechanism of "dense Al2O3-gas phase flame suppression"—aluminum hydroxide dehydrates and absorbs heat at high temperatures to generate dense Al2O3, physically blocking oxygen and heat transfer, while the novel organophosphorus flame retardant generates phosphorus-containing free radicals through decomposition, capturing ·OH and ·H free radicals in the combustion chain reaction. Both work together to improve flame retardant efficiency, thus achieving an initial flame retardant rating of UL94V-0 and LOI≥33.8%. Furthermore, the excellent thermal stability of the novel organophosphorus prevents high-temperature decomposition, maintaining V-0 even after aging at 40℃ for 8 months. Simultaneously, the toughening agent and the base adhesive form an elastic cross-linked network, offsetting the brittleness that may result from the addition of the flame retardant, and the tensile strength remains stable at 18.2-18.7 MPa. In the comparative examples, Comparative Example 3 lacked an organophosphorus flame retardant, requiring an extremely high amount of aluminum hydroxide to be effective. At the current level, only a loose Al2O3 layer could be formed, resulting in an LOI of only 26.8% and a flame retardant rating of V-2. Further damage to the Al2O3 layer after aging led to performance failure. Comparative Examples 1-2 used traditional organophosphorus compounds, whose molecular structure had poor thermal stability and was easily decomposed and lost during aging at 40℃, losing its gas-phase flame retardant effect, thus reducing the rating to V-1 after aging. Comparative Example 4 lacked aluminum hydroxide, resulting in no physical char layer barrier. The flame retardant effect of organophosphorus was easily destroyed by high temperatures during combustion, initially only V-1, and after aging V-2. Comparative Example 5 deviated from the synergistic ratio of 0.2:1.5; excessive aluminum hydroxide easily agglomerated, and insufficient organophosphorus caused the flame retardant chain to break, initially V-1, and after aging V-2. Comparative Example 6 lacked a toughening agent, resulting in a rigid cross-linked network of the base adhesive, which was prone to microcracks under stress, causing a sharp drop in tensile strength to 11.3 MPa. During aging, the cracks expanded, leading to damage to the flame retardant barrier, and the rating dropped to V-1.
