Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery technology, specifically relating to a coating composition and its application for improving the leakage resistance, liquid absorption and discharge performance of batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Zinc-manganese dry cell batteries, as one of the most widely used disposable batteries globally, occupy an important position in consumer electronic devices, small appliances, and emergency power supply fields due to their low cost and ease of use. The slurry paper, as the core separator component between the positive and negative electrodes of the zinc-manganese dry cell battery, directly determines the battery's discharge and storage performance. The slurry paper must possess both good isolation and good ion permeability. This requires the slurry paper coating to have good liquid absorption and retention properties, absorbing a large amount of electrolyte to reduce leakage and corrosion caused by sealing problems, while also possessing good adhesion and swelling properties to extend battery life. However, the liquid absorption, retention, and leakage resistance properties of existing slurry paper coatings are still not ideal.

[0003] Traditional coating materials often use single polymers such as polyacrylamide, starch, or polyvinyl alcohol, which have limited swelling and hydrophilicity, resulting in low liquid absorption, slow absorption rate, and poor liquid retention stability of the pulp paper. This not only leads to insufficient electrolyte supply during battery discharge, causing discharge voltage fluctuations and capacity decay, but also easily causes battery leakage due to electrolyte seepage, corroding electrical equipment and affecting safety. Existing coating materials lack sufficient mechanical strength and film density, making them prone to swelling, deformation, and structural loosening during electrolyte immersion or long-term battery storage, leading to electrolyte leakage from coating pores. Simultaneously, poor adhesion between the coating and the base paper and electrode surfaces makes peeling more likely, further exacerbating the risk of leakage and severely limiting battery shelf life and reliability.

[0004] Hydrogen evolution corrosion of the zinc electrode is a core factor leading to self-discharge, capacity loss, and shortened lifespan in zinc-manganese dry batteries. Currently, the industry commonly uses inorganic corrosion inhibitors such as bismuth oxide (Bi₂O₃) to replace toxic mercury-based corrosion inhibitors. These inhibitors suppress corrosion by forming a passivation film on the zinc electrode surface. However, the corrosion inhibition mechanism of a single inhibitor is limited, making it difficult to comprehensively suppress the corrosion process of the zinc electrode, resulting in limited corrosion inhibition efficiency. While some corrosion inhibitors can inhibit corrosion to a certain extent, they affect the polarization characteristics and ion conduction efficiency of the zinc electrode, leading to a decline in battery discharge performance, failing to balance corrosion inhibition and discharge stability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a pulp-paper coating composition and its preparation method for improving the leakage resistance, liquid absorption, and discharge performance of batteries. The coating composition uses a block polymer with excellent liquid absorption, mechanical properties, and film-forming properties, which effectively improves the leakage resistance of the battery during discharge. An inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor is used to form a tetrahedral complex with Zn, which inhibits hydrogen evolution and corrosion of the Zn electrode and maintains good discharge performance.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A coating composition for improving the resistance to leakage, liquid absorption and discharge of batteries, the coating composition comprising: methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, starch, inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor, compound surfactant and water.

[0008] Furthermore, the mass percentage of each component in the coating composition is as follows: 10%-25% methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer, 10%-15% polyvinyl alcohol, 40%-53% starch, 1%-5% inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor, 0.5%-2% compound surfactant, and the remainder is water.

[0009] Furthermore, the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer has a number-average molecular weight of 10,000 g / mol to 5,000,000 g / mol and a polymer dispersion index (PDI) of 1 to 3.

[0010] The methacrylate is selected from one or more of methyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, isooctyl methacrylate, and lauryl methacrylate; in the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer, the mass ratio of methacrylate to acrylamide is (0.01:0.99)-(0.25:0.75).

[0011] Furthermore, the inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor is bismuth oxide and triethanolamine; the mass ratio of bismuth oxide to triethanolamine is (1:99)-(5:95).

[0012] Furthermore, the compound surfactant is composed of a basic nonionic surfactant and a modified nonionic surfactant, wherein the basic nonionic surfactant is OP 10 or Span 80, and the modified nonionic surfactant is Tween 80, Tween 60, or Tween 40; the mass ratio of the basic nonionic surfactant to the modified nonionic surfactant is 1:1.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned coating composition for improving the battery's resistance to leakage, liquid absorption, and discharge performance, comprising the following steps:

[0014] First, weigh each raw material according to the mass percentage of each component in the coating composition, then dissolve polyvinyl alcohol in hot water to obtain a 30% polyvinyl alcohol solution; divide the starch by mass, half of which is gelatinized and the other half is not gelatinized; add the gelatinized and ungelatinized starch and the inorganic corrosion inhibitor from the inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor to the polyvinyl alcohol solution to obtain a mixed solution; after preparing the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer, mix the mixed solution with the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer evenly to obtain the aqueous slurry composition, i.e., the coating composition.

[0015] Further, the steps for preparing the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer are as follows: methacrylate is first mixed evenly with a basic nonionic surfactant, and then a modified nonionic surfactant is added and mixed evenly. The resulting mixture is added together with the organic corrosion inhibitor in the inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor to a 60% acrylamide aqueous solution for polymerization reaction. After mixing evenly, an initiator is selectively added, and the mixture is heated to carry out polymerization reaction to obtain a colorless, transparent, and viscous methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer.

[0016] Further, the polymerization reaction is as follows: an initiator is added to initiate the formation of a colorless, transparent, viscous block copolymer from methyl methacrylate and acrylamide. The initiator is azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), and the concentration of AIBN initiating the polymerization is 0-0.025% of the total mass of the coating composition.

[0017] Furthermore, the polymerization reaction is as follows: heating is carried out thermally to initiate the formation of a colorless, transparent, viscous block copolymer from methyl methacrylate and acrylamide, with the heating temperature being 50℃-100℃ and the time being 3min-60min.

[0018] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned coating composition for improving the battery's resistance to leakage, absorption and discharge performance in zinc-manganese dry batteries, for the preparation of pulp paper to improve the battery's resistance to leakage, absorption and discharge performance.

[0019] Furthermore, the preparation of pulp paper involves coating the base paper with a coating composition and then drying it to obtain pulp paper with the coating composition.

[0020] Advantages and effects of the present invention:

[0021] This invention introduces methacrylate monomers into the traditional polyacrylamide hydrogel polymerization process. This not only increases the viscosity of the polymerization reaction, thereby improving the adhesion of the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer hydrogel, which is beneficial for its tight bonding with the Zn electrode surface, but also, under the thermal polymerization action of an initiator or without an initiator, acrylamide and methacrylate copolymerize to obtain the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer. Compared with polyacrylamide, the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer hydrogel exhibits improved swelling properties, significantly increasing the liquid absorption capacity and absorption rate, thus improving the battery's leakage resistance. The liquid absorption capacity is doubled, and the absorption rate is increased by 20%, which is more conducive to the absorption and retention of electrolyte, further improving the battery's leakage resistance.

[0022] This invention utilizes the synergistic effect between molecules, employing an inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor. By leveraging different corrosion inhibition mechanisms, it achieves complementary advantages between the inhibitor molecules. The inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor can form a tetrahedral complex with Zn, which can better inhibit Zn corrosion, significantly improving corrosion inhibition efficiency. It can minimize the amount of hydrogen produced by the zinc electrode in zinc-manganese dry batteries, improve the conductivity of the zinc electrode and the utilization rate of active materials, and extend battery life. Compared with using inorganic corrosion inhibitors alone, the discharge time is increased by 10%, and the retention rate reaches over 95% after six months of natural storage.

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0026] A pulp-paper coating composition for improving battery resistance to leakage, liquid absorption, and discharge, comprising, by mass percentage: 10%-25% methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer, 10%-15% polyvinyl alcohol, 40%-53% starch, 1%-5% inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor, 0.5%-2% compound surfactant, and the remainder being water. The methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer has a number-average molecular weight of 10,000 g / mol-5,000,000 g / mol and a polymer dispersion index (PDI) of 1-3. The methacrylate is selected from one or more of methyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, isooctyl methacrylate, and lauryl methacrylate. The inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor is bismuth oxide and triethanolamine in a mass ratio of (1:99)-(5:95). The compound surfactant consists of an equal mass ratio of a basic nonionic surfactant and a modified nonionic surfactant, wherein the basic nonionic surfactant is OP. 10 or Span80, and modified nonionic surfactants are Tween 80, Tween 60 or Tween 40.

[0027] A method for preparing a coating composition to improve the resistance to leakage, liquid absorption, and discharge of a battery includes the following steps:

[0028] First, weigh each raw material according to the mass percentage of each component in the coating composition, then dissolve polyvinyl alcohol in hot water to obtain a 30% polyvinyl alcohol solution; divide the starch by mass, half of which is gelatinized and the other half is not gelatinized; add the gelatinized and ungelatinized starch and the inorganic corrosion inhibitor from the inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor to the polyvinyl alcohol solution to obtain a mixed solution; after preparing the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer, mix the mixed solution with the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer evenly to obtain the aqueous slurry composition, i.e., the coating composition.

[0029] Preparation of methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer: Methacrylate is first mixed evenly with a basic nonionic surfactant, then a modified nonionic surfactant is added and mixed evenly. The resulting mixture, along with the organic corrosion inhibitor from the inorganic-organic composite corrosion inhibitor, is added to a 60% acrylamide aqueous solution. The mass ratio of methacrylate to acrylamide is (0.01:0.99)-(0.25:0.75). After mixing evenly, the initiator azobisisobutyronitrile is selectively added to initiate the formation of a colorless, transparent, viscous block copolymer between methyl methacrylate and acrylamide. Alternatively, polymerization can be initiated at 50℃-100℃ for 3-60 minutes to form a colorless, transparent, viscous block copolymer. The polymerization reaction formula is as follows. Figure 1The IR spectrum of the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer is shown. Figure 2 This is a comparison diagram of the swelling properties of the methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer prepared in Example 1 of the present invention.

[0030]

[0031] Preparation of coating composition: The pre-mixed mixture solution is mixed evenly with methacrylate-acrylamide block copolymer to obtain an aqueous slurry composition, i.e., coating composition.

[0032] The application of a coating composition for improving the leakage resistance, liquid absorption and discharge performance of a battery in a zinc-manganese dry cell involves coating the coating composition onto the surface of a base paper and then drying it to obtain a pulp paper with the coating composition, thereby improving the battery's leakage resistance, liquid absorption and discharge performance.

[0033] This invention selects polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) based on its excellent optical and electrical properties, good chemical stability, and good adhesion and compatibility with fibers. PMMA is resistant to acids, alkalis, and salts, and does not exhibit side reactions such as hydrolysis, segregation, or degradation in electrolytes; it is also well-miscible with starch and polyvinyl alcohol slurries. PMMA monomers have a certain solubility in water, and acrylamide is also soluble in PMMA monomers; the introduction of PMMA causes some unique changes during the polymerization of block copolymers, which is beneficial for improving the performance of traditional polyacrylamide.

[0034] This invention selects a composite corrosion inhibitor of bismuth oxide and triethanolamine. Triethanolamine is readily available, highly soluble, and has good stability. The N and O in triethanolamine can form complex bonds with zinc, generating one or more zinc complexes on the surface of the Zn electrode in the corrosive medium. This isolates the Zn electrode surface from the corrosive medium, inhibiting the cathode and anodic reaction processes and the corrosion of the zinc electrode. When the battery is working, the passivation film or complex bonds decompose due to the potential change, without affecting the polarization of the anodic zinc, allowing the current to pass through normally and conduct electricity.

[0049] The application of a coating composition for improving the leakage resistance, liquid absorption and discharge performance of a battery in a zinc-manganese dry cell involves coating the coating composition onto the surface of a base paper and then drying it to obtain a pulp paper with the coating composition, thereby improving the battery's leakage resistance, liquid absorption and discharge performance.
