Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallization technology for non-metallic materials, and more specifically, to a modified chlorinated polyolefin, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Current collector composite copper foil is typically composed of two metal layers (such as copper) and a polymer base film (such as PET). The manufacturing process for composite copper foil usually involves a two-step method, including magnetron sputtering and electroplating. Magnetron sputtering forms a copper sputtered layer, but it can easily result in uneven copper film deposition on the base film surface. Furthermore, magnetron sputtering equipment is difficult to operate and expensive. This process is typically designed for composite copper foil with a PET base film; however, when applied to composite copper foil using polypropylene (PP) film as the base film, the lack of reactive groups in PP leads to poor adhesion between the sputtered layer and the base film, making it difficult to meet product requirements.

[0003] To overcome the high cost of magnetron sputtering equipment, electroless copper plating has been developed as an alternative. Electroless copper plating involves adsorbing catalytically active colloidal or nanoparticles, such as palladium, onto the surface of a base film through self-assembly or ion exchange, followed by electroless plating to form copper. To ensure adhesion between the base film and the metal coating, chromic anhydride is typically used to roughen the base film through oxidation, increasing the wettability between the aqueous solution and the substrate in subsequent surface treatments. However, the chromic anhydride process uses highly toxic hexavalent chromium and sulfuric acid, generating large amounts of waste acid and acid mist, and requiring large quantities of pure water, posing significant environmental concerns. Furthermore, oxidation roughening negatively impacts the elongation at break and tensile strength of the composite copper foil, potentially leading to breakage during subsequent carbon coating.

[0004] Furthermore, as the negative electrode current collector in a battery, the composite copper foil comes into contact with the electrolyte during use. Prolonged contact with the electrolyte in existing composite copper foil can easily cause the copper layer to peel off, directly affecting battery life. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The modified chlorinated polyolefin of the present invention has good adhesion to the base film of the composite current collector.

This allows palladium-catalyzed chemical copper to grow from the inside of the adhesive layer, and the formed copper layer is tightly bonded to the adhesive layer, thereby giving the metal layer of the composite current collector good adhesion.

[0068] A composite current collector includes a polymer substrate layer, an adhesive layer, and a metal layer; the adhesive layer is obtained by curing the above-mentioned adhesive composition.

[0069] Preferably, the polymer substrate layer is made of polypropylene (PP), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or polyimide (PI).

[0070] Since the adhesive layer formed after curing the adhesive composition of the present invention is used as the adhesive layer of the composite current collector, the material of the polymer substrate layer of the composite current collector can be selected not only from liquid crystal polymers, polyethylene terephthalate and polyimide, but also from polypropylene, resulting in good adhesion of the metal layer of the composite current collector.

[0071] Preferably, the metal layer is made of copper.

[0072] The preparation method of the above-mentioned composite current collector includes the following steps: The above-mentioned adhesive composition is coated on the surface of a polymer substrate, cured, activated, debonded, and then subjected to chemical plating and electroplating to obtain the composite current collector.

[0073] Preferably, the coating thickness of the adhesive combination is 0.08~0.15 micrometers.

[0080] In conventional electroless copper plating processes, the palladium content in the activation solution needs to reach at least 20 ppm to effectively catalyze copper formation during electroless plating and ensure adhesion between the polymer substrate layer and the metal layer. Using the binder composition made from the modified chlorinated polyolefin of this invention as the adhesive layer, the palladium content in the activation solution can be controlled within the conventional range or at a low level. Even with a significantly reduced palladium content in the activation solution, it can still effectively catalyze copper formation during electroless plating and ensure adhesion of the metal layer of the composite current collector, achieving low-palladium electroless copper plating and significantly reducing production costs for enterprises.

[0081] Preferably, the degumming solution is at least one of hydrochloric acid, sodium hypophosphite, and sulfuric acid, and can be prepared from Sanfu SF-H06A.

[0086] Preferably, the electroplating solution is a mixed solution of sulfuric acid, copper sulfate and chloride ions, which can be prepared from Sanfu SF-99310A, Sanfu SF-99310B and Sanfu SF-99310C.

[0087] Preferably, the electroplating process further includes an antioxidant treatment step.

[0088] More preferably, the antioxidant solution for the antioxidant treatment contains at least one of citric acid, phosphoric acid, or gluconic acid; the antioxidant solution can be prepared from Sanfu SF-H10A and Sanfu SF-H10B.

[0089] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The modified chlorinated polyolefin of the present invention has good adhesion to the base film of the composite current collector. On the other hand, the modified chlorinated polyolefin obtained after modification has an ammonium salt structure or a quaternary ammonium cation structure and is positively charged. It can adsorb and penetrate into the adhesive layer formed by the modified chlorinated polyolefin during the activation process of the chemical copper plating method of the composite current collector. This allows the palladium-catalyzed chemical copper to grow out from the inside of the adhesive layer, and the formed copper layer is closely attached to the adhesive layer, thereby giving the metal layer of the composite current collector good adhesion.

[0090] (2) In addition, the composite current collector made by using the modified chlorinated polyolefin as a binder has good elongation at break and tensile strength, and the copper layer does not fall off after being immersed in electrolyte, and has good resistance to immersion in electrolyte.

[0091] (3) The modified chlorinated polyolefin of the present invention is used as a binder in the preparation of composite current collectors, which can eliminate the oxidation roughening operation in the chemical copper plating method and effectively solve the environmental problems caused by the use of toxic and harmful reagents in oxidation roughening.

When the displacement of the sample reaches 30mm, the test is stopped. The average force (N) is calculated by the maximum and minimum forces during the test. The adhesion is expressed as follows: average force (N) / width of composite current collector (cm). The larger the value, the better the adhesion.

[0104] (2) Electrolyte immersion test: Cut the composite current collector into 5cm*5cm pieces and place them in lithium-ion battery electrolyte (Sichuan Tianci, ZHKC01). Seal and immerse at 85℃ for 3 days. Observe whether the copper layer of the composite current collector falls off after immersion.

[0105] (3) Elongation at break: The elongation at break was measured using a universal testing machine (Dongguan Lixian Instrument Technology Co., Ltd., model: HZ-1004B). The composite current collector has a length of 200mm and a width of 15mm.

[0106] (4) Tensile strength: The tensile strength was measured using a universal testing machine (Dongguan Lixian Instrument Technology Co., Ltd., model: HZ-1004B). The composite current collector has a length of 200mm and a width of 15mm.

[0107] The composite current collectors prepared from the adhesive compositions of each embodiment and comparative example were tested according to the above test methods. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0108] Furthermore, the performance test of Example A in Table 2 differs from that of Example 5 in that the palladium ion content in the activation solution in step (4) of the specific preparation process of the composite current collector is 2 ppm. The performance test of Comparative Example B in Table 2 differs from that of Example 5 in that step (1) is not performed in the specific preparation process of the composite current collector, and only steps (2) to (8) are performed to obtain the composite current collector.

[0109] Table 2

[0110] As can be seen from Table 2: The copper layer adhesion of the composite current collectors prepared in Examples 5-10 and Example A all reached 4.8 N / cm or higher, the elongation at break all reached 10.8% or higher, and the tensile strength all reached 202 MPa or higher. The copper layer did not fall off after accelerated immersion in electrolyte. This indicates that using the adhesive composition made of the modified chlorinated polyolefin of the present invention as the adhesive layer of the composite current collector can effectively improve the adhesion of the metal layer, as well as improve the elongation at break, tensile strength and electrolyte immersion resistance of the composite current collector.

[0111] A comparison between Example 5 and Example A shows that even with a low palladium content in the activation solution used during the activation process (Example A, 2 ppm), the formation of copper in electroless plating can be effectively catalyzed, and the properties of the composite current collector remain good.

[0112] Comparative Example 1 used an adhesive composition made of unmodified chlorinated polyolefin as the adhesive layer of the composite current collector, resulting in poor performance of the composite current collector.

[0113] Comparative Example B, which did not use a binder composition, resulted in a composite current collector with poor performance.
