Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of battery separator technology, and specifically discloses a lithium-ion battery separator, its preparation method and lithium-ion battery. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, with their advantages of high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge rate, have become the core power source for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. As a key component of lithium-ion batteries, the performance of the battery separator directly affects the battery's safety, rate performance, and cycle life. However, traditional commercial battery separators mostly use PP, PE, and PP / PE composite membranes, which generally suffer from poor electrolyte wettability and severe high-temperature thermal shrinkage, significantly hindering the safe application of lithium metal batteries. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the performance of PP and / or PE battery separators.

[0003] Currently, methods for coating organic-inorganic core-shell composite coatings onto diaphragm surfaces to improve diaphragm performance have been disclosed in related fields. For example, prior art published in CN 103035866 A discloses a core-shell composite coating with silica as the core and acrylate-based polymer as the shell, achieving optimized improvements in coating uniformity and electrolyte adsorption capacity.

[0004] However, existing organic-inorganic core-shell composite coatings generally have shortcomings. For example, the fully encapsulated core-shell structure easily weakens the rigid support and heat resistance of inorganic particles, making it difficult to suppress the high-temperature thermal shrinkage of the composite separator. Furthermore, physically encapsulated shells still have problems such as weak interfacial bonding, poor mechanical strength and heat resistance, and the coating is prone to swelling and peeling. They cannot effectively solve the problems of insufficient electrolyte wettability and large high-temperature shrinkage, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-safety and long-cycle batteries. Summary of the Invention

The hair-like organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles, along with binders and dispersants, are then coated onto the surface of a polyolefin-based membrane to prepare a coated diaphragm. Firstly, the hair-like polymer brush layer has an outwardly extending configuration, which allows the open pore structure to fully utilize the heat resistance and rigid support of the nano-silica, while simultaneously forming a continuous nanoscale transition interface, effectively reducing phase separation and localized phase transitions. The defects are addressed by firstly, suppressing high-temperature thermal shrinkage of the separator at the structural level, thus enabling the coated separator to possess excellent high-temperature dimensional stability; secondly, the multi-functionalized polymer brush layer can not only significantly improve electrolyte wettability and ion transport efficiency through the synergistic effect between active functional groups, but also significantly improve the dispersion stability of nanoparticles in the precursor slurry through self-crosslinking to construct chemical anchoring interfaces. At the same time, it can also enhance the interfacial bonding force with binders and polyolefin-based films, greatly improving the uniformity and structural integrity of the nanoparticle coating. As a result, the composite separator can maintain good dimensional stability, electrolyte wettability, and ionic conductivity at high temperatures, effectively improving the cycle performance and rate performance of lithium-ion batteries.
