Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure claims priority and benefit to Korean Patent Applications Nos. 10-2023-0148006 and 10-2024-0148548, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on October 31, 2023 and October 28, 2024, respectively, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] This disclosure relates to a separator for an electrochemical device, a method for manufacturing the separator, and an electrochemical device including the separator. Specifically, this disclosure relates to a separator for an electrochemical device that uses different adhesives in a coating and patterns the coating to reduce the difference between the positive and negative electrode adhesion strengths, improve wetting, and reduce resistance, as well as a method for manufacturing the separator and an electrochemical device including the separator. Background Technology

[0003] In the components of an electrochemical device, a separator comprises a porous polymer substrate located between the positive and negative electrodes. It separates the positive and negative electrodes and serves to prevent electrical short circuits between the two electrodes while allowing the electrolyte and ions to pass through. The separator itself does not participate in the electrochemical reaction; however, physical properties such as electrolyte liquid wetting, porosity, and thermal shrinkage affect the performance and safety of the electrochemical device.

[0004] Therefore, to enhance the physical properties of the separator, coatings are added to porous polymer substrates, and various methods are explored to modify the properties of the coating by adding various materials. For example, inorganic substances can be added to the coating to improve the mechanical strength of the separator, or inorganic substances or hydrates can be added to the coating to improve the flame retardancy and heat resistance of the polymer substrate.

[0005] The separator can be attached to the electrode by a lamination process, and to ensure the adhesive strength between the electrode and the separator, a polymer adhesive can be added to the composition of the coating used to form the separator.

[0006] Meanwhile, the adhesion strength to the electrodes can vary depending on the composition of the polymer adhesive, and there is a problem that the electrochemical device may fold due to the asymmetry of the adhesion strength between the positive and negative electrodes.

[0007] Furthermore, when existing polymer adhesives have strong adhesion strength to both the positive and negative electrodes, the wetting of the electrolyte liquid decreases, which may increase the resistance of the electrochemical device.

[0008] Therefore, there is a need for research into technologies that can minimize the asymmetry of the adhesion strength with the positive and negative electrodes while maintaining a certain level of adhesion strength with both electrodes. Summary of the Invention

[0046] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, a separator for an electrochemical device uses an adhesive with different adhesion strengths to the positive and negative electrodes in its coating and the coating is patterned to reduce the increase in resistance caused by reduced wetting while maintaining adhesion strength to the positive and negative electrodes.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a separator for an electrochemical device can improve the adhesive strength between a polymer substrate and a coating by improving the adhesion between inorganic particles and a polymer binder.

[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a separator 100 for an electrochemical device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 1 Specifically, a separator 100 for an electrochemical device is described as one embodiment of this disclosure.

[0049] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the porous polymer substrate 110 can be prepared using a polyolefin-based resin as the base resin. Examples of polyolefin-based resins may include polyethylene, polypropylene, polypentene, etc., and the polyolefin-based resin may include one or more types thereof. A porous separator prepared using such a polyolefin-based resin as the base resin, i.e., a separator having multiple pores, can provide a shut-off function at an appropriate temperature.

[0050] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the polyolefin-based resin may have a weight-average molecular weight of 500,000 or greater and 1,500,000 or less. By adjusting the weight-average molecular weight of the polyolefin-based resin within the above range, the compression resistance of the separator can be improved. Furthermore, when using different types of polyolefin-based resins after mixing or forming a separator with a multilayer structure formed of different types of polyolefin-based resins, the weight-average molecular weight of the polyolefin-based resin can be calculated by adding the weight-average molecular weights of each of the polyolefin-based resins according to the content ratio.

[0051] In this disclosure, the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) can be measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC: gelpermeation chromatography, PL GPC220, Agilent Technologies), and the measurement conditions can be set as follows.

[0052] -Column: PL Olexis (Polymer Laboratories)

[0053] Solvent: TCB (trichlorobenzene)

[0065] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, a coating can be formed using a composition comprising a mixture of inorganic particles and a polymer binder. By using the coating-forming composition comprising a mixture of inorganic particles and a polymer binder as described above, the ease of operation for forming the coating can be improved, and the viscosity of the composition for forming the coating can be easily adjusted.

[0066] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the composition for forming a coating may further include a solvent. By further including a solvent in the composition for forming a coating as described above, the ease of operation for forming the coating can be improved, and the mixture of inorganic particles and polymer binder can be uniformly dispersed in the composition for forming the coating. In this specification, solvent may refer to a dispersion medium, and an emulsion in which the mixture of inorganic particles and polymer binder is dispersed by a solvent may refer to a composition for forming a coating.

[0067] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the solvent may be one or a combination thereof selected from the group consisting of water, acetone, ethanol, isopropanol (IPA), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), and acetonitrile. Specifically, water is preferred as the solvent. By selecting a solvent from the above, the viscosity of the composition used to form the coating can be controlled, and the dispersibility of the inorganic particles and polymer binder in the solvent can be improved.

[0068] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the composition for forming the coating may further include additives. By further including additives as described above, the adhesive force of the inorganic particles is improved, and the dispersibility of the composition for the inorganic coating can be improved.

[0069] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the additive may include dispersants, surfactants, defoamers, flame retardants, adhesion promoters, etc. By selecting additives from the above, the dispersibility and phase stability of the composition used for inorganic coatings can be improved, air bubbles can be removed or flame retardancy can be increased, adhesion strength can be improved, and wetting of the polymer substrate and the composition used to form the coating can be improved.

[0070] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the dispersant may include any one or more selected from polyacrylic acid, oil-soluble polyamines, oil-soluble amine compounds, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, sorbitol fatty acid esters, tannic acid, and pyrogallol. Preferably, the dispersant may be sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC Na). By selecting a dispersant from the above, the dispersibility and phase stability of the composition used for coating can be improved.

[0071] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the content of the dispersant relative to 100 parts by weight of the composition for forming the coating can be greater than 0 parts by weight and 5 parts by weight or less. Specifically, the content of the dispersant relative to 100 parts by weight of the composition for forming the coating can be greater than 0 parts by weight and 4 parts by weight or less, 1 part by weight or greater and 3 parts by weight or less, or 1 part by weight or greater and 2 parts by weight or less. By adjusting the content of the dispersant within the above ranges, the dispersibility and phase stability of the composition for forming the coating can be improved.

[0072] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, coating 130 includes a plurality of pores. Specifically, coating 130 includes a plurality of micropores. The plurality of pores may be multiple micropores created by the dense filling of the gap volume formed between the inorganic particles by the coating with inorganic particles and a polymer binder included in the polymer binder mixture. These micropores are interconnected and obtain a porous structure that allows gas or liquid to pass from one side surface to the other side surface. With coating 130 including a plurality of pores as described above, electrolyte liquid in the battery, described later, is allowed to permeate the separator.

[0073] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the inorganic particles are not particularly limited, provided they are electrochemically stable. In other words, the inorganic particles are not particularly limited, provided they do not undergo oxidation and / or reduction reactions within the operating voltage range of the applied electrochemical device (e.g., 0 V to 5 V based on Li / Li⁺). In particular, when inorganic particles with ion transfer capabilities are used, performance improvements can be provided by increasing the ionic conductivity in the electrochemical device. Additionally, when inorganic particles with high dielectric constants are used, the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte liquid can be improved by promoting an increase in the degree of dissociation of the electrolyte salt (such as lithium salt) in the liquid electrolyte. The inorganic particles may include high dielectric constant inorganic particles with a dielectric constant of 5 or greater and 10 or greater, inorganic particles with lithium-ion transfer capabilities, or mixtures thereof. Specifically, the inorganic particles may be selected from BaSO₄, BaTiO₃, Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT), b₁-xLa₁xZr₁-yTiyO₃ (PLZT, 0 <x<1、0<y<1)、Pb(Mg 1 / 3 Nb 2 / 3The group consisting of one or more of the following: PbTiO3 (PMN-PT), hafnium dioxide (HfO2), SrTiO3, SnO2, CeO2, MgO, Mg(OH)2, NiO, CaO, ZnO, ZrO2, SiO2, Y2O3, Al2O3, SiC, Al(OH)3, TiO2, aluminum peroxide, zinc tin hydroxide (ZnSn(OH)6), zinc stannate (Zn2SnO4, ZnSnO3), antimony trioxide (Sb2O3), antimony tetroxide (Sb2O4), antimony pentoxide (Sb2O5), and boehmite (AlO(OH)). However, these are merely examples, and inorganic particles are not limited thereto.

[0074] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the average particle size (D50) of the inorganic particles (not shown) is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 0.3 μm or larger and 1 μm or smaller, for forming a coating 130 with uniform thickness and appropriate porosity. Specifically, when the average particle size is less than 0.3 μm, the dispersibility of the inorganic particles in the slurry used to prepare the coating can be reduced, and when the average particle size is greater than 1 μm, the thickness of the formed coating may be increased.

[0075] In this specification, "D" 50 "Particle size" refers to the particle size at the 50% point of the cumulative distribution of particle size. Particle size can be measured using a laser diffraction method. Specifically, the powder to be measured is dispersed in a dispersion medium and then introduced into a commercially available laser diffraction particle size measurement device (e.g., Microtrac S3500). As the particles pass through the laser beam to calculate the particle size distribution, the measurement depends on the differences in the diffraction pattern of the particle size. 50 Particle size can be measured by calculating the particle size at the 50% point of the cumulative distribution of particle number based on the particle size in the measuring device.

[0076] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the content of inorganic particles relative to 100 parts by weight of the composition for coating can be 70 parts by weight or more and 90 parts by weight or less.

[0077] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, a first surface portion 131 including a first polymeric adhesive and a second surface portion 133 including a second polymeric adhesive are alternately disposed on the surface of the coating 130. As described above, by alternately disposing the first surface portion 131 including the first polymeric adhesive and the second surface portion 133 including the second polymeric adhesive on the surface of the coating 130, a constant adhesive strength with the electrode can be maintained by including portions with different adhesive strengths for the positive and negative electrodes, and wetting with the electrolyte liquid can also be improved.

[0078] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the first polymeric adhesive and the second polymeric adhesive can be particulate adhesives or solvent adhesives. Specifically, particulate adhesives have the property of maintaining their original particulate shape without deformation even when dispersed in a solvent, and for example, polyvinylidene polymers or acrylic polymers can be used. Solvent adhesives are soluble in polar solvents including water, and for example, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), or polyacrylamide (PAM) can be used. Preferably, the first polymeric adhesive and the second polymeric adhesive can be particulate adhesives.

[0083] In this specification, the content of comonomers in vinylidene fluoride polymer resins can be measured using a Varian 500 MHz 1H NMR method. For detailed measurement methods, please refer to the Journal of Materials Chemistry, 2012, 22, 341 or AMT-3412-0k.

When the area of ​​the second surface portion is less than the above ranges, the area of ​​the first surface portion increases, reducing the adhesion strength with the negative electrode; and when the area of ​​the second surface portion is greater than the above ranges, the adhesion strength with the positive electrode may decrease. By adjusting the area of ​​the second surface portion based on the total surface area of ​​the coating as described above, the wetting of the electrolyte liquid can also be improved, while simultaneously increasing the adhesion strength with both the positive and negative electrodes.

[0089] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the positive electrode adhesion strength of the first surface portion can be greater than that of the second surface portion. Specifically, the first polymer adhesive included in the first surface portion can have a superior positive electrode adhesion strength than the second polymer adhesive included in the second surface portion.

[0115] <Example 1>

[0116] Polyethylene resin (weight average molecular weight 900,000) was extruded, and a porous polymer substrate (total thickness approximately 9 μm, porosity 40% by volume) was prepared using a wet process.

[0117] Al₂O₃ powder with a D50 particle size of 400 nm was prepared as inorganic particles. A copolymer of polyvinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) (LBG4430LX, Arkema) was prepared as the first polymer binder, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC Na) (SG-L02, GL Chem.) was prepared as a dispersant. The inorganic particles, the first polymer binder, and the dispersant prepared above were added to water at a weight ratio of 85:14:1, and then the inorganic particles were crushed and dispersed to prepare a first slurry for coating.

[0118] Al₂O₃ powder with a D50 particle size of 400 nm was prepared as inorganic particles. An acrylic emulsion (CSB-130, ToyoInk Co., Ltd.) and a copolymer of polyvinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) (LBG4430LX, Arkema) were prepared as a second polymer binder, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC Na) (SG-L02, GL Chem.) was prepared as a dispersant. The inorganic particles, the second polymer binder (acrylic emulsion:PVdF-HFP = 5:5), and the above-prepared dispersant were added to water at a weight ratio of 85:14:1. The inorganic particles were then crushed and dispersed to prepare a second slurry for coating.

[0119] A first slurry and a second slurry are alternately applied and coated onto a porous polymer substrate using a gravure coating method, and then dried to form a coating with a thickness of 0.5 μm or greater and 1.0 μm or less. Here, the loading of the first slurry is 9.5 g / m³. 2 Furthermore, the loading rate of the second slurry is 4.5 g / m³. 2 As a result, the area of ​​the second surface portion is 25% ( Figure 2 ).

[0120] <Example 2>

[0121] The coating was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the loading of the first slurry was 7.5 g / m³. 2 Furthermore, the loading rate of the second slurry is 6.5 g / m³. 2 As a result, the area of ​​the second surface portion is 40% ( Figure 3 ).

[0122] <Comparative Example 1>

[0123] A coating is prepared in which only the second slurry is used to form a pattern instead of the first slurry in Example 1. Figure 4 ).

[0124] <Comparative Example 2>

[0125] The coating was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the loading of the first slurry was 6.5 g / m³. 2 Furthermore, the loading rate of the second slurry is 7.5 g / m³. 2 As a result, the area of ​​the second surface portion is 60% ( Figure 5 ).

[0130] [Table 1]

[0131]

[0132] [Measurement of coating surface area]

[0133] To measure the area of ​​the coated surface portion of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the surface EDAX F-peak was analyzed and the area was measured.

[0134] According to Figures 2 to 7 To identify the area of ​​the coated surface portion of each of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4.

[0135] <Preparation of Electrochemical Devices>

[0136] 1) Preparation of the positive electrode

[0137] The positive electrode active material (LiNi) 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1O2), conductor (carbon black), dispersant N-methylpyrrolidone (ADC-01, LG Chem.), and binder resin (a mixture of PVDF-HFP and PVDF) were mixed with water at a weight ratio of 97.5:0.7:0.14:1.66 to prepare a slurry for the positive electrode active material layer, wherein the components other than water had a concentration of 50% by weight. The slurry was then coated on the surface of an aluminum film (10 μm thick) and dried to prepare a positive electrode with a positive electrode active material layer (120 μm thick).

[0138] 2) Preparation of the negative electrode

[0139] Graphite (a blend of natural and artificial graphite), conductor (carbon black), dispersant polyvinylpyrrolidone (Junsei Chemical Co., Ltd., Japan), and binder resin (a mixture of PVDF-HFP and PVDF) were mixed with water at a weight ratio of 97.5:0.7:0.14:1.66 to prepare a slurry for the negative electrode active material layer, wherein the components other than water had a concentration of 50% by weight. The slurry was then coated onto the surface of a copper thin film (10 μm thick) and dried to prepare a negative electrode with a negative electrode active material layer (120 μm thick).

[0140] <Experimental Example>

[0141] [Measurement of dry bond strength]

[0142] The separators of each of the examples and comparative examples were cut to dimensions of 70 mm (length) × 20 mm (width), and the electrodes and separators were laminated using a press at 60 °C, 6.5 MPa, and 1 second to prepare samples. The prepared samples were attached to a glass plate for fixation using double-sided tape, with the electrodes positioned facing the glass plate. The separator portions of the samples were peeled off at 180° angle and a rate of 150 mm / min at 25 °C, and the strength of each of the positive and negative electrodes was measured. The results are summarized in Table 2 below.

[0143] [Measurement of wet bond strength]

[0144] The separators of each of the examples and comparative examples were cut to dimensions of 70 mm (length) × 20 mm (width), and the electrodes and separators were laminated using a press at 60 °C, 6.5 MPa, and 1 second to prepare samples. The prepared samples were loaded into a battery casing along with an electrolyte liquid and kept for 4 hours to impregnate the samples with the electrolyte liquid. As the electrolyte liquid, LiPF6 was prepared by mixing ethylene carbonate and ethyl methyl carbonate in a volume ratio of 7:3 and at a concentration of 1M. Subsequently, the samples were removed from the casing and then attached to a glass plate for fixation using double-sided tape, with the electrodes positioned facing the glass plate. The separator portion of the sample was peeled off at 25 °C at a 90° angle and a rate of 200 mm / min, and the strength of each of the positive and negative electrodes was measured. The results are summarized in Table 2 below.

[0145] [Resistance Measurement]

[0146] Each separator is inserted between SUS and electrolyte liquid is injected to manufacture a coin cell, and the resistance (ER) is measured using the EIS method. Here, the frequency is set to the range of 100,000 Hz to 10,000 Hz.

[0147] [Table 2]

[0148]

[0149] According to Table 2, it can be recognized that in Examples 1 and 2, which include a second surface area of ​​40% or less, the dry bond strength of the positive and negative electrodes and the wet bond strength of the positive and negative electrodes are both excellent, and the resistance is low.

[0150] In contrast, Comparative Example 1 only includes the second polymer on the surface portion of the coating without forming a pattern, resulting in poor positive electrode adhesion strength and increased resistance compared to the example.

[0151] It can be seen that Comparative Example 2 has a second surface portion area greater than 40%, resulting in poor positive electrode adhesion strength, and Comparative Example 2 also has the problems of poor wet adhesion strength and increased resistance compared to the embodiment.

[0152] Comparative Example 3 has a coating thickness greater than 0.5 μm to 1.0 μm, and although the adhesion strength is advantageous, it has the problem of a significant increase in resistance.

[0153] Comparative Example 4 used an acrylamide adhesive as the first polymer adhesive, which caused an increase in resistance due to the formation of a film when impregnated with an electrolyte liquid.

[0154] [Measurement of Wettability]

[0155] Each separator of the examples and comparative examples was immersed in the electrolyte liquid, and placed vertically after the lamination process, and the extent to which the electrolyte liquid was drawn in by the capillary phenomenon was measured.

[0156] Figures 8a to 8f The wetting states of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 of this disclosure are shown in sequence.

[0157] according to Figures 8a to 8f It can be recognized that, with Figures 8c to 8f Compared to the comparative examples, Figure 8a and Figure 8b It exhibits excellent wetting properties because the electrolyte liquid is absorbed to a greater extent.

[0158] [Comparison of adhesive strength between positive and negative electrodes]

[0159] [Table 3]

[0160]

[0161] According to Table 3, the first polymer adhesive has superior positive electrode adhesion strength compared to the second polymer adhesive. Therefore, when the adhesives are alternately arranged on the coating according to the present disclosure, the first polymer adhesive can exhibit superior positive electrode adhesion strength.

[0162] Furthermore, compared to the first polymer adhesive, the second polymer adhesive has superior negative electrode adhesion strength. Therefore, when the adhesives are alternately arranged on the coating according to the present disclosure, the second polymer adhesive can exhibit superior negative electrode adhesion strength.

[0163] Therefore, a separator for an electrochemical device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can prevent increased resistance by improving wetting, while improving dry bond strength and wet bond strength by alternately arranging the first surface portion and the second surface portion on the coating surface, controlling the surface area, and controlling the type of adhesive.
