Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery separator technology, specifically to a dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium battery separator coating slurry, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] In the current lithium battery manufacturing field, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has relatively good electrochemical stability and adhesive strength, and is widely used in separator coatings. However, with the significantly accelerated pace of cell production and the ever-increasing demands for performance, PVDF is unable to form sufficient adhesive force in a short period of time. This ultimately results in weak bonding between the separator and the electrode, making it prone to delamination, reducing cell production efficiency, and shortening battery life.
[0003] To address the current issues with PVDF in separator applications, researchers considered increasing the amount of PVDF used in separators. However, excessive addition reduces the ionic conductivity of the lithium-ion battery separator, affecting its performance. It also leads to poor compatibility between PVDF and other components in the separator. More importantly, even if the dry adhesion of the PVDF coating with increased PVDF content meets the standards, the wet adhesion between the separator and the electrode weakens after the battery cell is injected into the electrolyte. In other words, increasing the amount or thickness of the PVDF coating fails to provide the lithium-ion battery separator with good dual-state adhesion, ultimately affecting cell quality and battery production yield.
[0004] The dual-state adhesion of lithium-ion battery separators specifically refers to dry-state adhesion and wet-state adhesion. Dry-state adhesion is the traditional adhesion between the lithium-ion battery separator and the electrode. Good wet-state adhesion mainly refers to the ability of the separator coating and the base film (separator and electrode) to maintain sufficient adhesion strength after the cell absorbs electrolyte. If the dual-state adhesion performance of the lithium-ion battery separator is insufficient, the coating on the separator will peel off, causing blockage of the separator pores, increasing internal resistance, and affecting battery performance and safety. It will also cause the adhesion between the separator and the electrode to fail, resulting in increased battery internal resistance, shortened cycle life, and even short circuits under abuse conditions. Traditional conventional PVDF base film spraying or roller coating products are difficult to guarantee dual-state adhesion of lithium-ion battery separators. The pressure sensitivity of the separator allows the product to be adapted to various battery cell production lines, resulting in high adaptability and higher production efficiency. Therefore, a lithium battery separator coating slurry is proposed. When used in lithium battery separators, it can give them good dual-state adhesion properties, which is of great significance for improving the overall performance and production efficiency of the battery and extending its service life. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention proposes a dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium battery separator coating slurry, its preparation method, and its application, which solves the problem of poor dry and wet dual-state adhesive performance of lithium battery separator coating slurries in related technologies.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the preparation method of the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive includes the following steps: A1. Under a first gas atmosphere, monomer A is added, and after cooling to -10~-5℃, the organic solvent and monomer B are added to carry out a first polymerization reaction. Then, monomer C and tert-butyl peroxyvalerate are added to carry out a second polymerization reaction to obtain the first product. A2. Under a second gas atmosphere, the first product and the benzoyl peroxide are mixed evenly and subjected to a third polymerization reaction to obtain the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive. The first gas is a protective gas; The second gas is a fluorinated olefin gas.
[0012] As a further technical solution, the degree of polymerization of the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive is 153~259, and the number-average molecular weight is 443802~751274.
[0013] As a further technical solution, the temperature of the first polymerization reaction is -10~-5℃, and the time is 6~8h; The second polymerization reaction is carried out at a temperature of 120~130℃ for 6~8 hours. The third polymerization reaction is carried out at a temperature of 120-130°C for 4-6 hours.
[0014] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of monomer A, monomer B, monomer C, and initiator is 0.95~1.15:1:4~7:0.1~0.16; The amount of organic solvent added is 10 to 15 times the mass of monomer B; The amount of the fluorinated olefin gas added is 4 to 6 times the mass of monomer B.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of hexafluoropropylene to vinylidene fluoride is 2~3:2~3.
[0017] As a further technical solution, the raw materials of the coating slurry also include polyvinyl alcohol and dispersant; The mass ratio of the porous ceramic powder, the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive, the polyvinyl alcohol, the dispersant, and the deionized water is 1:2~5:1~2:0.05:10.
[0018] As a further technical solution, the organic solvent includes one of N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphoramide, 1,4-dioxane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and N,N-dimethylformamide, preferably N-methylpyrrolidone, wherein the water content of N-methylpyrrolidone is 49 ppm.

[0020] As a further technical solution, the dispersant includes one or two of polyvinylpyrrolidone and sodium polyacrylate, preferably polyvinylpyrrolidone.
[0021] This invention proposes a method for preparing a dual-state varistor adhesive lithium-ion battery separator coating slurry, which includes the following steps: S1. After the dispersant and deionized water are mixed evenly, the mixture is emulsified for the first time to obtain the first substance; S2. Add the porous ceramic powder to the first substance, and emulsify it a second time to obtain the second substance; S3. Add the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive and the polyvinyl alcohol to the second substance, and emulsify for the third time to obtain the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium battery separator coating slurry.
[0022] In this invention, the polyamide segments in the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive can increase the heat resistance of the lithium-ion battery separator, while the addition of polyvinyl alcohol can improve the adhesion of the coating slurry, thus enhancing the overall stability of the coating slurry. The synergistic effect of the polyamide segments and polyvinyl alcohol can effectively improve the heat resistance and mechanical strength of the lithium-ion battery separator, inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites, and reduce the risk of lithium dendrites directly piercing the lithium-ion battery separator. Furthermore, the rough surface and multiple pores of the porous ceramic powder can provide active sites for the adhesive. The addition of porous ceramic powder can improve the adhesion between the coating formed by the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium-ion battery separator coating slurry and the positive and negative electrode sheets. Finally, through the stepwise emulsification of porous ceramic powder, dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive, polyvinyl alcohol, and dispersant, a dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium-ion battery separator coating slurry with a uniform and stable internal structure is obtained. After coating this slurry onto a polyolefin-based film, the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesion performance of the lithium-ion battery separator can be increased.

[0024] This invention also proposes the application of the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium battery separator coating slurry or the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium battery separator coating slurry prepared by the aforementioned preparation method in the preparation of lithium battery separators. The preparation method of the lithium battery separator includes the following steps: The dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium battery separator coating slurry is applied to at least one side of the base film by dot coating or roller coating, and then dried to obtain the lithium battery separator.
[0025] In preparing the lithium-ion battery separator according to the present invention, a dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium-ion battery separator coating slurry is applied to at least one side of the base film by dot coating or roller coating, preferably by dot coating. Through matrix dot coating, the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium-ion battery separator formed has a more reasonable matrix arrangement morphology on its surface, which can not only increase the ionic conductivity of the lithium-ion battery separator, but also facilitate the flow of electrolyte from the structural gaps of the dot arrangement, further improving the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive performance of the lithium-ion battery separator.
[0026] In this invention, in accordance with GB / T 36363 The method in 2018 "Polyolefin Separator for Lithium-ion Batteries" tests the thickness of lithium-ion battery separators. The thickness increment of the lithium-ion battery separator is calculated as: thickness increment = lithium-ion battery separator thickness - base film thickness. In this invention, the thickness increment of the battery separator is 0.5~4μm, for example, it can be 0.5μm, 0.8μm, 1μm, 1.2μm, 1.5μm, 1.8μm, 2μm, 2.2μm, 2.5μm, 2.8μm, 3μm, 3.2μm, 3.5μm, 3.8μm, 4μm, preferably 0.5μm, 1μm, 4μm.
[0027] In this invention, the base film comprises a wet-process polyethylene base film or a wet-process polypropylene base film, preferably a wet-process polyethylene base film, with a base film thickness of 5.1 μm and an areal density of 3.56 g / m³. 2 Other thicknesses and areal densities of base films are also applicable.
[0028] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. In this invention, a dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive is used as the main material, combined with porous ceramic powder. The multiple pores of the porous ceramic powder can increase the overall heat resistance and electrolyte wettability of the separator. In this system, it works synergistically with the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive to obtain a dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium battery separator coating slurry. When used in lithium battery separators, it can effectively improve the adhesion performance between the lithium battery separator and the positive and negative electrode sheets, giving it good dry-state adhesion performance as well as good wet-state adhesion performance, thus achieving dual-state adhesion.
[0029] This invention utilizes hexafluoropropylene, vinylidene fluoride, 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, styrene, lithium methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, and tribenzoyl chloride and / or acryloyl chloride as monomers. Under the action of an initiator, a controllable polymerization reaction is achieved through precise raw material ratios. This process prepares a multi-segment dual-state pressure-sensitive functional adhesive that simultaneously possesses segments of polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene, polybutyl methacrylate, and polystyrene. It combines the adhesive properties of polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene, polybutyl methacrylate, and polystyrene with the heat resistance of polyamide. Yes, the highly electronegative fluorine atoms in the polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene segment can interact with the active groups on the electrode surface under external pressure, increasing the adsorption force between the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive and the electrode. The total number of adsorption sites varies with pressure. Lithium methacrylate, as a monomer, increases the number of active carboxyl lithium groups, thereby improving the deionized water-oil amphoteric solubility of the synthesized dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer and lowering the glass transition temperature of the polymer. Butyl methacrylate also lowers the glass transition temperature of the synthesized polymer. The addition of butyl methacrylate and styrene monomers with rigid supporting properties can effectively enhance the hydrogen bonding between the bi-state pressure-sensitive adhesive and the electrode under external force, thereby increasing the pressure sensitivity of the bi-state pressure-sensitive adhesive. Tribenzoyl chloride, due to the presence of three condensation reaction sites, undergoes a condensation reaction with 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, increasing the number of segments in the bi-state pressure-sensitive adhesive. Acryloyl chloride can act as a "bridge," connecting the upstream free radical reaction segment and the condensation polyamide segment, linking the chemical bonds of the two segments together. It possesses carbon-carbon double bonds, which can... Free radical reactions link chain segments, resulting in a unified three-dimensional network structure for the bi-state pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer. The presence of butyl methacrylate, its ester and alkyl butyl groups, increases the distance between polymer chains, increasing polymer disorder and steric hindrance. This further enhances the pressure-sensitive properties of the disordered segments. Simultaneously, the increased inter-chain spacing facilitates electrolyte desorption, reducing polymer swelling, avoiding internal conflicts between segments, and enhancing the adhesive's dual-state adhesion in both dry and wet states. In summary, a bi-state pressure-sensitive adhesive with extremely strong bi-state pressure-sensitive properties was prepared through controlled polymerization using hexafluoropropylene, vinylidene fluoride, 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, styrene, lithium methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, and tribenzoyl chloride and / or acryloyl chloride as monomers under the action of an initiator.

[0053] Experimental Example 1 The lithium-ion battery separators prepared in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were subjected to the following basic performance tests: (1) Liquid absorption rate and liquid retention rate test: The liquid absorption rate and liquid retention rate of the lithium battery separator sample were tested according to the test method in QB / T 2303-2024 "Pulp Paper for Primary Batteries"; (2) Wetting test: Wetting characterizes the affinity between the separator and the electrolyte. The higher the wettability value, the better the wettability and the stronger the liquid absorption and retention, which can reduce the internal resistance of the battery. The formula for calculating wettability v is: v = h / t, where h is the wetting height (the height of the electrolyte penetrating the lithium battery separator in the vertical direction), in mm, and t is the wetting time, in min; the electrolyte used in the wettability test is a mixture of electrolyte and solvent, wherein the electrolyte is lithium hexafluorophosphate, and the solvent is a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) (the volume ratio of EC to DEC is 1:1), and the concentration of electrolyte in the electrolyte is 1 mol / L; (3) Ionic conductivity test: The ionic conductivity of the lithium battery separator sample was tested according to the method in GB / T 36363-2018 "Polyolefin separator for lithium-ion batteries".

The test results are the average values of three samples. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0054] Table 1. Basic performance test results of lithium battery separators in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7
[0055] Compared with Comparative Examples 1-7, the lithium battery separators prepared in Examples 1-8 showed improved liquid absorption rate, liquid retention rate, wettability, and ionic conductivity, and reduced thermal shrinkage rate. This indicates that the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive prepared in this invention, when used in the lithium battery separator slurry containing the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive and porous ceramic powder, can effectively improve the overall performance of the lithium battery separator, including wettability, ionic conductivity, and heat resistance.
[0056] Furthermore, compared with Examples 9-10, the lithium-ion battery separators prepared in Examples 1-3 showed improved liquid absorption rate, liquid retention rate, wettability, and ionic conductivity, and reduced thermal shrinkage rate. This indicates that during the preparation of the lithium-ion battery separator in this invention, the mass ratio of each raw material in the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive was reasonably controlled. When the mass ratio of monomer A, monomer B, monomer C, and initiator was 0.95-1.15:1:4-7:0.1-0.16, the amount of organic solvent added was 10-15 times the mass of monomer B, and the amount of fluorinated olefin gas added was 4-6 times the mass of monomer B, the mass ratio of each raw material in the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive was reasonable, which helped to improve the overall performance of the lithium-ion battery separator.
[0057] Compared with Examples 11-12, the lithium battery separators prepared in Examples 1-3 showed improved liquid absorption rate, liquid retention rate, wettability, and ionic conductivity, and reduced thermal shrinkage rate. This indicates that during the preparation of the lithium battery separator in this invention, the mass ratio of each raw material in the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive lithium battery separator coating slurry was reasonably controlled. When the mass ratio of porous ceramic powder, dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive, polyvinyl alcohol, dispersant, and deionized water was 1:2~5:1~2:0.05:10, the mass ratio of each component in the coating slurry was reasonable, which helped to improve the overall performance of the lithium battery separator.
[0058] Experiment Example 2 The lithium-ion battery separators prepared in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were subjected to dual-state adhesion tests: (1) Dry electrode adhesion test: The electrode is either a positive electrode or a negative electrode. The adhesion strength of the positive electrode is obtained when the electrode is a positive electrode, and the adhesion strength of the negative electrode is obtained when the electrode is a negative electrode. Cold-pressed positive electrode adhesion strength: The lithium battery separator is cut to a size of 25mm×150mm, and the positive electrode is cut to a size of 25mm×150mm; the temperature of the cold press is adjusted to 25℃, and the pressure is set to the set value (100kg, 500kg, 1000kg, 2000kg, 5000kg, 8000kg). The lithium battery separator and the positive electrode are preheated for 1s and cold-pressed for 1s using the cold press; the adhesion strength of the cold-pressed positive electrode is tested using an electronic tensile testing machine. The lithium battery separator and the positive electrode are peeled off until the tensile distance of the electronic tensile testing machine is 50mm. The electronic tensile testing machine operates at a speed of 300 mm / min and a peel angle of 180°. The cold-pressed positive electrode bonding strength is calculated as: peel force / tensile distance of the electronic tensile testing machine. Peel force is the average force collected by the electronic tensile testing machine during the peeling process of the lithium battery separator and positive electrode. The cold-pressed positive electrode bonding strength is calculated based on data with a tensile distance between 10 and 40 mm, i.e., cold-pressed positive electrode bonding strength = peel force between 10 and 40 mm / 30 mm. The positive electrode is a ternary lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide electrode with the chemical formula LiNi. 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O2, the negative electrode is a carbon-based graphite electrode (91% carbon content), and the average value of 10 test groups is taken; the test results are shown in Table 2. (2) Wet electrode adhesion test: Following the method in the dry electrode adhesion test, the cold-pressed electrode / lithium battery separator was placed in a 50mm×200mm aluminum foil plastic bag, and 3mL of electrolyte (the electrolyte is a mixture of electrolyte and solvent, wherein the electrolyte is lithium hexafluorophosphate, and the solvent is a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) (the volume ratio of EC and DEC is 1:1), and the concentration of electrolyte in the electrolyte is 1mol / L) was injected and sealed. After soaking at 25℃ for 64h, it was taken out and the surface of the free electrolyte was gently pressed and wiped with industrial wiping paper for testing. The bonding strength of the cold-pressed positive electrode sheet was tested using an electronic tensile testing machine. The lithium battery separator and positive electrode sheet were peeled until the tensile distance measured by the electronic tensile testing machine reached 50 mm. The speed of the electronic tensile testing machine was 300 mm / min, and the peel angle was 180°. The bonding strength of the cold-pressed positive electrode sheet was calculated as: peel force / tensile distance measured by the electronic tensile testing machine. Peel force: the average force collected by the electronic tensile testing machine during the peeling process. The bonding strength of the cold-pressed positive electrode sheet was calculated based on data with tensile distances between 10 and 40 mm, i.e., bonding force between 10 and 40 mm / 30 mm. The positive electrode sheet was a ternary lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide electrode sheet with the chemical formula LiNi. 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O2, the negative electrode is a carbon-based graphite electrode (containing 91% carbon); 10 groups were tested and the average value was taken; the test results are shown in Table 3.
[0059] Table 2. Test results of dry electrode adhesion in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7
[0060] Table 3. Test results of wet electrode adhesion in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7
[0061] As can be seen from Tables 2 and 3, compared with Comparative Examples 1-3 and 5-7, the lithium-ion battery separators prepared in Examples 1-8 showed improved adhesion to both the dry and wet states of the positive and negative electrodes at 100 kg, 500 kg, 1000 kg, 2000 kg, 5000 kg, and 8000 kg. This indicates that the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive prepared in this invention can effectively improve the dual-state adhesion performance of lithium-ion battery separators when used in lithium-ion battery separator slurry containing the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive and porous ceramic powder.
[0062] Experimental Example 3 The swelling rate of the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesives prepared in Examples 1-3, the PVDF powder in Comparative Example 1, the PMMA powder in Comparative Example 2, and the mixed polymer of PVDF powder and PMMA powder in Comparative Example 3 (mass ratio of PVDF powder to PMMA powder is 1:1) was tested. During the test, the polymers were dried in a vacuum drying oven at 80°C and -0.095 MPa for 64 hours, and their mass was weighed in a beaker and recorded as M1. Electrolyte (M1:electrolyte mass = 1:15, the electrolyte being a mixture of electrolyte and solvent) was added to each beaker. The polymer was tested using lithium hexafluorophosphate as the electrolyte and a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) as the solvent (EC to DEC volume ratio 1:1, electrolyte concentration 1 mol / L). The mixture was placed in a glove box at 25°C for 64 hours. After the electrolyte was poured out, the polymer was removed and the surface of the polymer in the beaker was gently pressed and wiped with industrial wiping paper to remove the free electrolyte. The mass was weighed and recorded as M2. The swelling rate was calculated according to the following formula: Swelling rate = (M2-M1) / M1×100%. The swelling rate is the average value of 10 test groups. The test results are shown in Table 4.
[0063] Table 4. Swelling rate test results for Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3
[0064] As can be seen from Table 4, the swelling rates of the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesives prepared in Examples 1-3 are all lower than those of the PVDF powder, PMMA powder, or mixed polymer of PVDF powder and PMMA powder in Comparative Examples 1-3. This indicates that the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesives prepared in this invention are beneficial for electrolyte desorption and can reduce the swelling rate of the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive polymer in the electrolyte, exhibiting good stability.
[0065] Furthermore, the swelling ratio of the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive is smaller compared to PVDF powder, indicating better electrolyte tolerance. The dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive is more stable than PVDF in the battery cell after electrolyte injection, and its wet adhesion is superior to both PVDF and PMMA. Simultaneously, the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive and porous ceramic powder (with pores allowing electrolyte flow and negligible swelling) exhibit good synergistic stability in the system, enhancing the dual-state adhesion performance of the separator.
[0066] Experiment Example 4 The lithium-ion battery separators prepared in Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were encapsulated in CR2032 button cells. After the button cells were subjected to 500 charge-discharge cycles at 0.5C, the cell capacity retention rate was tested. The electrolyte was a 1 mol / L LiPF6 / EC (ethylene carbonate) / DEC (diethyl carbonate) solution. The test results are shown in Table 5.
[0067] Table 5. Cell capacity retention test results for Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-7
[0068] As can be seen from Table 5, compared with Comparative Examples 1-7, the battery cell capacity retention rate of the lithium battery separator prepared in Examples 1-8 is improved after being used in the battery, reaching more than 96.38%. This indicates that the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive prepared in this invention, when used in the lithium battery separator slurry containing the dual-state pressure-sensitive adhesive and porous ceramic powder, can improve the cycle life of the battery using this lithium battery separator.
