[0002] With the widespread application of rechargeable batteries in electric vehicles, energy storage, and other fields, higher requirements are being placed on battery safety and stability. As one of the key components of rechargeable batteries, the performance of the separator directly affects the battery's safety performance and cycle life.

[0003] While traditional polyolefin separators possess excellent mechanical and electrochemical properties, they exhibit poor thermal stability at high temperatures.

Furthermore, A≤64 indicates uniform aramid fiber diameter, meaning a uniform stress distribution within the aramid coating.

Attached Figure Description

[0025] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this application.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the surface structure of the aramid coating;

[0027] Figure 2 This is a SEM image of the aramid coating in Example 4.

[0028] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0029] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0030] The inventors have researched and invented a method to improve the high-temperature resistance of a diaphragm by coating it with a high-temperature resistant material. However, this method generally has the following problems: First, the coating has insufficient adhesion to the base membrane: under high temperature or mechanical stress, the coating is prone to peeling off from the base membrane surface, resulting in a decrease in the high-temperature resistance and mechanical properties of the diaphragm. Second, the overall high-temperature resistance of the diaphragm is uneven: there are significant differences in the high-temperature resistance of different areas of the diaphragm, and under local high-temperature conditions, some areas are prone to premature membrane rupture.

[0031] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a diaphragm, comprising a base membrane and an aramid coating disposed on at least one side of the base membrane, the aramid coating comprising aramid fibers and pores, wherein any 100 μm of the aramid coating... 2 The region satisfies: A≤64; Where R is 100 μm 2 The chord length of holes with a chord length ≥ 0.3 μm in the region, in μm, and R ≥ 0.3 μm; N is 100 μm. 2 The number of pores with a chord length ≥ 0.3 μm in the region; x is the diameter of the aramid fiber in nm; u is 100 μm. 2 The average diameter of the aramid fibers in the region, expressed in nm.

[0032] According to the inventors' research, a separator with the above-mentioned structure and composition can simultaneously improve the separator's high-temperature resistance, structural stability, and thermal safety. The reason for this is that the aramid fibers in the aramid coating have a unique molecular structure with high orientation, high crystallinity, and anisotropy, exhibiting excellent mechanical strength, which helps improve the mechanical stability and safety performance of the battery. Simultaneously, aramid fibers have good high-temperature resistance, with a glass transition temperature of around 280℃ and a thermal decomposition temperature greater than 400℃, allowing the separator's rupture temperature to reach around 400℃, thus enhancing the separator's high-temperature resistance and safety in high-temperature environments.

[0033] According to further research by the inventors, any 100μm of aramid coating... 2 The region that satisfies A≤64 indicates that the aramid fiber surface is uniform and without obvious defects. This makes the size and number of pores in the aramid coating and the uniformity of the aramid fibers appropriate. Uniform aramid fiber diameter means that the stress distribution inside the aramid coating is uniform. When subjected to tension or compression, stress concentration will not occur due to excessively fine local aramid fibers, which would lead to cracking or tearing of the aramid coating. This can improve the bonding force between the aramid fibers and the base membrane and improve the structural stability of the diaphragm. Controlling the size and number of pores is equivalent to ensuring the integrity of the aramid coating, so that the base membrane is covered by the aramid coating, which can improve the overall thermal stability of the diaphragm and improve the safety performance of the diaphragm.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, any 100μm 2 The region can be square, with a side length of 10 μm; R is 100 μm. 2 The chord length of holes with a chord length ≥ 0.3 μm in the region, i.e., R is the chord length of the 100 μm hole. 2 The chord length of the holes in the region; x is the diameter of the aramid fiber.

[0035] For example, A can be a range of 5.4, 9, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 64 or any two of them.

[0036] Specifically, an aramid coating can be provided on one side of the base film, or an aramid coating can be provided on both sides of the base film in the thickness direction.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, A can be tested as follows: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) can be used. Take the prepared diaphragm, randomly select a clean area from the diaphragm, and cut a small sample with an area of ​​0.5cm × 0.5cm. Lay the cut sample, coating side up, flat on the adhesive tape of the sample stage. Sputter a thin film of gold or platinum, several nanometers to tens of nanometers, onto the sample surface. Switch from low magnification (500X) to high magnification for observation. Randomly select a 10μm × 10μm area; different fields of view can be selected for each sample. At 10,000x magnification, randomly select a 10μm × 10μm square area and find holes with a chord length ≥ 0.3μm, the number of which is denoted as N; the chord length of each hole with a chord length ≥ 0.3μm is denoted as R1, R... 2… R N The diameters of five aramid fibers were selected and denoted as x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5, and the average value was denoted as u.

[0038] Then according to Calculate the value of A.

[0039] In some embodiments, 5.4 ≤ A ≤ 64 is more conducive to balancing the improvement of the diaphragm's high-temperature resistance, structural stability, and thermal safety performance.

[0040] In some embodiments, 2 ≤ N ≤ 8, for example, it can be a range of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or any two of them. This is more conducive to avoiding direct exposure of the base film, improving the overall high-temperature resistance of the separator, and enhancing the safety performance of the battery.

[0041] In some embodiments, 0.3 μm ≤ R ≤ 0.9 μm, for example, it can be a range of 0.3 μm, 0.4 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.6 μm, 0.7 μm, 0.8 μm, 0.9 μm, or any combination thereof. This is more conducive to reducing the exposed area of ​​the base membrane, improving the local high-temperature resistance of the diaphragm, and enhancing the safety performance of the diaphragm.

[0042] In some embodiments, 30nm ≤ x ≤ 85nm, for example, can be a range of 30nm, 35nm, 40nm, 45nm, 50nm, 55nm, 60nm, 65nm, 70nm, 75nm, 80nm, 85nm, or any combination thereof. This is more conducive to improving the uniformity of aramid fiber diameter, resulting in a more uniform stress distribution within the aramid coating, improving the adhesion between the aramid coating and the base film, and enhancing the structural stability of the diaphragm.

[0043] In some embodiments, 51nm ≤ u ≤ 56nm, for example, it can be a range of 51nm, 52nm, 53nm, 54nm, 55nm, 56nm, or any combination thereof. This can further ensure the uniformity of the aramid fiber diameter and improve the peel strength of the diaphragm.

[0044] In some embodiments, the aramid fiber includes polyphenylene phthalamide, which is more conducive to improving the high temperature resistance, mechanical stability and safety performance of the diaphragm.

[0045] In some embodiments, polyphenylene phthalamide includes poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) and / or poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide), which can further improve the performance of the membrane.

[0046] In some embodiments, the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) to the number-average molecular weight (Mn) of polyphenylene phthalamide is 1 to 3, for example, it can be a range of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, or any combination thereof. When the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) to the number-average molecular weight (Mn) of polyphenylene phthalamide is 1 to 3, the interactions between molecular chains (hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces) are more uniform, the molecular chain length is more uniform, and there are fewer internal defects, which can further improve the high-temperature resistance and mechanical properties of the separator, and improve the battery life.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) to the number-average molecular weight (Mn) of polyphenylene phthalamide can be determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), which is a conventional testing method in the art and is not limited thereto.

[0048] In some embodiments, the aramid fiber content in the aramid coating is 65% to 95% by mass, for example, it can be a range of 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or any combination thereof. A mass percentage of aramid fiber not less than 65% is more beneficial for improving the high-temperature resistance of the diaphragm; a mass percentage of aramid fiber not greater than 95% is more beneficial for improving the mechanical strength of the diaphragm. Therefore, a mass percentage of aramid fiber in the aramid coating of 70% to 95% can further improve the performance of the diaphragm.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, the mass percentage of aramid fibers in the aramid coating can be determined by the following method: Specifically, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) can be used. Take the above-mentioned diaphragm, scrape off the aramid coating powder, dry it in an oven to remove adsorbed water and residual solvent, and record the mass as m1; put the dried powder into a crucible, place it in a TGA instrument, heat it according to the set conditions, record the weight loss rate-temperature curve (DTG curve), and keep the mass basically constant. Record the remaining mass as m2. Then, the mass percentage of aramid fibers in the aramid coating = (m1-m2) / m1×100%.

[0050] In some embodiments, the aramid coating also includes ceramic materials, which further enhance the hardness and rigidity of the aramid coating, thereby improving the puncture strength and tensile strength of the diaphragm.

[0051] In some embodiments, the ceramic material includes one or more of alumina, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, barium titanate, barium sulfate, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, aluminum hydroxya, and silicon carbide. This can further improve the performance of the diaphragm.

[0052] In some embodiments, the presence of oxygen-containing groups on the surface of the base membrane is more conducive to strengthening the chemical bonds or hydrogen bonds between the base membrane and the aramid coating, thereby improving the structural stability of the diaphragm.

[0053] In some embodiments, the base membrane can be a conventional membrane material in the art, and the base membrane may include polyolefins, such as polyethylene (PE) and / or polypropylene (PP), which is more conducive to improving the high temperature resistance and safety performance of the membrane.

[0054] In some embodiments, the weight-average molecular weight of the polyolefin is 100W to 200W, for example, it can be a range of 100W, 125W, 150W, 175W, 200W, or any combination thereof. This is more conducive to balancing the flexibility and mechanical properties of the base membrane, and improving the structural stability, high-temperature resistance, and safety performance of the diaphragm.

[0055] In some embodiments, the peel strength between the aramid coating and the base film is 70 N / m to 130 N / m, for example, it can be a range of 70 N / m, 75 N / m, 80 N / m, 85 N / m, 90 N / m, 95 N / m, 100 N / m, 105 N / m, 110 N / m, 115 N / m, 120 N / m, 125 N / m, 130 N / m, or any combination thereof. This is more conducive to improving the structural stability of the separator and improving the cycle life and safety performance of the battery.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, the peel strength between the aramid coating and the base film can be measured by the following method:

[0057] S1. Sample preparation: Take the above-mentioned diaphragm and cut it into 100×15mm samples using a strip cutter;

[0058] S 2. Apply 15mm wide double-sided tape vertically and horizontally to the board, extending 1cm beyond the line. Roll it back and forth evenly twice with a roller. Then, attach the coated side of the sample strip from the edge to the scale line to the double-sided tape and roll it back and forth evenly three times with a roller. Each roll should be evenly 10 seconds.

[0059] S 3. The peel strength between the aramid coating and the base film was tested at 180° using a tensile testing machine (model: TST-02H), with a tensile speed of 50 mm / min and a displacement spacing of 100 mm.

[0060] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned diaphragm, comprising the following steps: coating at least one side of a base membrane to form an aramid coating, thereby obtaining a diaphragm.

[0061] In some embodiments, the process of coating at least one side of a base film to form an aramid coating includes: applying a coating slurry containing aramid fibers to at least one side of the base film; passing the base film coated with the coating slurry through a multi-stage coagulation bath and then drying it to form an aramid coating on at least one side of the base film; wherein each stage of the coagulation bath independently includes an organic solvent and an inorganic electrolyte; for any two adjacent stages of the coagulation bath, the mass concentration of the organic solvent in the preceding stage of the coagulation bath is greater than the mass concentration of the organic solvent in the following stage of the coagulation bath.

[0062] According to the inventors' research, multi-stage coagulation baths can improve the uniformity of the local high-temperature resistance of the separator, that is, improve the overall high-temperature resistance of the separator. The reason for this is that by using multi-stage coagulation bath gradient treatment (i.e., for any two adjacent coagulation baths, the mass concentration of the organic solvent in the previous coagulation bath is greater than the mass concentration of the organic solvent in the next coagulation bath), the phase transfer process of the aramid coating slurry can be precisely controlled, forming a dense and uniform honeycomb porous structure. This makes the internal structure of the separator uniform, and under local high-temperature environments, the difference in high-temperature resistance of each region is minimal. This can effectively avoid the problem of local membrane rupture and further improve the safety of the battery under complex operating conditions.

[0063] Meanwhile, each coagulation bath independently includes an inorganic electrolyte. The inorganic electrolyte stabilizes the aramid molecular chains through charge action, slows down the phase separation rate, promotes the orderly arrangement of molecular chains, reduces internal defects in the diaphragm, and is more conducive to improving the high-temperature resistance of the diaphragm.

[0064] Specifically, the coating slurry containing aramid fibers, i.e., the aramid coating slurry, can be prepared by uniformly mixing aramid fibers, ceramic materials, and solvents. The solvents include, for example, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP).

[0065] In some embodiments, the time for the base membrane coated with the coating slurry to pass through each coagulation bath is 3 to 5 minutes, for example, it can be a range of 3 minutes, 3.5 minutes, 4 minutes, 4.5 minutes, 5 minutes, or any combination thereof. This is more conducive to slowing down the phase separation rate, promoting the orderly arrangement of molecular chains, reducing internal defects in the membrane, and further improving the high-temperature resistance of the membrane.

[0066] In practice, the time it takes for the base film coated with the coating slurry to pass through each coagulation bath can be controlled by controlling the length of each coagulation bath to be 3 m to 6 m and the speed of the base film to be 10 m / min to 20 m / min.

[0067] Drying is a standard practice in this field and is not subject to any restrictions.

[0068] In some embodiments, the difference in mass concentration of the organic solvent between any two adjacent coagulation baths is 15% to 40%. For example, it can be a range of 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 40%, or any combination thereof. A ratio of not less than 15% ensures the coagulation effect of each coagulation bath and prevents uneven thickness of the aramid coating. A ratio of not more than 40% further slows down the phase separation rate and ensures uniform internal and external structure of the coating. Therefore, a ratio of 15% to 40% is more conducive to achieving a moderate phase separation rate and ensuring a good coagulation effect.

[0069] In some specific embodiments, in any two adjacent coagulation baths in a multi-stage coagulation bath, the difference in the mass concentration of the organic solvent in the preceding coagulation bath is equal to the difference in the mass concentration of the organic solvent in the following coagulation bath, which is more conducive to improving the performance of the diaphragm.

[0070] In some embodiments, the process of passing a base film coated with a coating slurry through a multi-stage coagulation bath includes: passing the base film coated with the coating slurry sequentially through a first coagulation bath, a second coagulation bath, and a third coagulation bath.

[0071] In specific implementation, the mass concentration of the organic solvent in the first coagulation bath is 60% to 90%, for example, it can be 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or any combination thereof. This is more conducive to achieving initial phase separation of the aramid coating, avoiding the formation of large-pore or porous defects in the aramid coating due to rapid phase separation, and allowing the aramid molecular chains to slowly arrange and form a uniform internal structure.

[0072] In specific implementation, the mass concentration of the organic solvent in the second coagulation bath is 30% to 50%, for example, it can be 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, or any combination thereof. This can further cure the aramid coating, while retaining the air permeability and mechanical toughness of the aramid coating through appropriate solvent exchange, avoiding excessive density that could lead to coating embrittlement.

[0073] In specific implementation, the mass concentration of the organic solvent in the third coagulation bath is 10% to 20%, for example, it can be 10%, 15%, 20%, or any combination thereof. This can wash away residual organic solvents, reduce chemical residues in the aramid coating, and further improve its stability in environments such as high temperature and electrolytes.

[0074] In some embodiments, the organic solvent includes one or more of N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, and N,N-dimethylformamide, which can further control the phase transfer process of the aramid coating slurry, improve the uniformity of the internal structure of the diaphragm, and improve the high temperature resistance and safety performance of the diaphragm.

[0075] In practice, NMP can be used as the organic solvent. It has good solubility for aramid slurry and is easy to volatilize and remove during subsequent drying, which is environmentally friendly. At the same time, it can better meet the requirements of solvent performance in multi-stage coagulation baths and is more conducive to forming a more ideal membrane structure.

[0076] In some embodiments, the inorganic electrolyte includes one or more of lithium chloride (LiCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), magnesium chloride (MaCl2), and sodium chloride (LiCl), which is more conducive to improving the uniformity of the internal structure of the diaphragm.

[0077] In practical implementation, LiCl can be used as the inorganic electrolyte because Li... + With a small ionic radius and strong charge interaction, it is more conducive to stabilizing aramid molecular chains, slowing down phase separation rate and promoting orderly arrangement of molecular chains, which can more effectively reduce internal defects of the diaphragm and improve diaphragm performance.

[0078] In some embodiments, the mass concentration of the inorganic electrolyte in each coagulation bath is independently 0.5% to 2%. For example, the mass concentration of the inorganic electrolyte in the first coagulation bath is 0.5% to 2%; the mass concentration of the inorganic electrolyte in the second coagulation bath is 0.5% to 2%; and the mass concentration of the inorganic electrolyte in the third coagulation bath is 0.5% to 2%.

[0079] For example, it can be a range of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, or any two of them.

[0080] Specifically, an inorganic electrolyte concentration of not less than 0.5% is more conducive to slowing down the solidification rate of the aramid coating and avoiding the formation of a large number of micropore defects; an inorganic electrolyte concentration of not more than 2% is more conducive to ensuring the hydrogen bonding between aramid fiber molecules and improving the high temperature resistance and structural stability of the diaphragm.

[0081] Specifically, each coagulation bath also independently includes water, which is more conducive to phase separation of the aramid coating.

[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, the mass concentration of the organic solvent = mass of the organic solvent / (mass of the organic solvent + mass of the inorganic electrolyte + mass of water); the mass concentration of the inorganic electrolyte = mass of the inorganic electrolyte / (mass of the organic solvent + mass of the inorganic electrolyte + mass of water).

[0083] In some embodiments, after surface treatment of the base film with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution under ultraviolet light (UV), an aramid coating is then applied to at least one side of the base film to form a separator.

[0084] Specifically, after the base membrane surface is treated with hydrogen peroxide solution combined with UV irradiation, OH free radicals are generated to oxidize the base membrane surface and form active groups. These active groups then form strong chemical or hydrogen bonds with the aramid coating, further improving the structural stability of the separator under high temperature and mechanical stress. This means increasing the adhesion between the aramid coating and the base membrane, and improving the separator's peel strength. This allows the separator to maintain stable performance during long-term use, extending the battery's cycle life.

[0085] Specifically, the mass concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 2% to 30%, for example, it can be 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, or any combination thereof. This is more conducive to the generation of OH free radicals to oxidize the surface of the base film and form active groups, thereby improving the adhesion between the aramid coating and the base film.

[0086] Specifically, the wavelength of the ultraviolet light is 100nm~300nm, for example, it can be a range of 100nm, 150nm, 200nm, 250nm, 300nm or any combination thereof.

[0087] Specifically, the surface treatment time (i.e., the time for irradiation under ultraviolet light after coating the base film with hydrogen peroxide solution) is 10 min to 30 min, for example, it can be a range of 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 25 min, 30 min or any combination thereof.

[0088] Specifically, the above preparation process is simple and cost-controllable. The cost of hydrogen peroxide solution and inorganic electrolyte is low, and the processing technology is easy to operate, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production. This reduces production costs while ensuring the high performance of the diaphragm.
