Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an asymmetrically structured coated separator and a battery, belonging to the technical field of battery separator structures. Background Art

[0002] In the structure of a lithium battery, the separator is one of the key inner components. Among them, the separator is located between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and its main function is to separate the positive and negative active substances to prevent short circuit due to contact between the two poles, while allowing the rapid transport of charged ions. Among them, in order to improve the heat resistance of the separator, a layer of slurry needs to be coated on the separator to improve the safety performance of the lithium battery. However, at present, the compatibility between the slurry and the separator in related prior art is poor, resulting in the slurry being easily detached from the separator, weakening the heat resistance of the separator product, and further affecting the service life of the lithium battery.

[0003] With the development of battery technology, the production efficiency of batteries has been improved. On the basis of traditional winding and lamination processes, some battery enterprises have also developed more advanced thermal composite lamination processes. Usually, for the lamination process or the thermal composite lamination process, a certain adhesiveness is required between the separator and the positive and negative electrodes to reduce the gap between the separator and the positive and negative electrodes during battery charge and discharge, and improve the charge and discharge performance of the battery. Currently, most separator enterprises adopt the method of PVDF coating on the base film. For example, Chinese Patent Application CN105552284A discloses a composite-coated lithium-ion battery separator and its preparation method, in which a PVDF coating is applied to the battery separator, and the used PVDF coating is obtained by coating and drying an aqueous PVDF slurry. In addition, Chinese Patent Application CN104993089A discloses an aramid-coated lithium-ion battery separator and its preparation method. The separator is composed of a lithium-ion battery base film and coatings on one or both sides of the base film. The coating is obtained by coating, soaking in water, and drying an aramid slurry, and the aramid slurry is composed of an aramid fiber solution, an emulsifier solution, and a polymer adhesive. Although these related technologies can effectively improve the adhesiveness between the separator and the electrode, they cannot achieve different adhesive forces between the separator and the positive and negative electrodes. For battery positive and negative electrode materials and battery processes, there are differences in the adhesive forces between the positive and negative electrodes and the separator. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve different adhesive forces between the two sides of the separator and the positive and negative electrodes, and for different electrode materials, the requirements for the adhesive performance of the separator are different.

[0004] Currently, commercial PVDF separators are mainly PVDF-coated on polyolefin separators mainly composed of polyethylene and polypropylene, including aqueous coating and oily coating, and there is the same adhesive force between the positive and negative electrodes and the separator, and it is impossible to adjust the bonding situation of the separator.

[0131] Table 1 Diaphragm Performance Data

[0132]

[0133] It can be seen from the above data that the diaphragms prepared by the preparation method described in Examples 1 - 9 of the present invention can meet the different hot pressing adhesion forces of the positive and negative electrodes, with an air permeability value ≤ 300 s / 100 cc and a film breaking temperature ≥ 250 °C.

[0134] Application Examples 1 - 9

[0135] Assemble the diaphragms obtained in the above examples into a 4 Ah 811 system ternary lithium battery by using a stacking process.

[0136] The batteries assembled with the diaphragms of Examples 1 - 9 above respectively correspond to Application Examples 1 - 10.

[0137] Application Comparative Example 1

[0138] Assemble the battery by using the same method as in Application Example 1, except that the diaphragm is replaced with a commercially available PE / Ceramic / PVDF coated film of (1 + 2 + 7 + 2 + 1) μm, where 2 is the thickness of the ceramic coating, 1 is the thickness of the aqueous roll-coated PVDF coating, and 7 is the thickness of the PE base film.

[0139] Perform performance tests on the batteries of the above application examples and application comparative examples, and the specific test results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0140] Table 2 Battery Performance Test Results

[0141]

[0142] As can be seen from the above table data, for the diaphragms prepared by the preparation method of the present invention in the batteries of Application Examples 1-9, compared with the PE / ceramic / PVDF coated films, the capacity retention rates after 100 cycles are all improved, all above 90%, which can effectively improve the battery cycle life. In the Arc (accelerated calorimeter) test, there is no high-temperature resistant polyamide coating layer in Comparative Application Example 1, and the measured Arc temperature is 686 °C. For Application Examples 1-8 with high-temperature resistant aromatic polyamide coating layers, their Arc temperatures are all reduced to below 600 °C. Among them, in Application Examples 4-5 and Application Examples 8-9, the high-temperature resistant aromatic polyamides are respectively para-aramid and Aramid III with better heat resistance, and the Arc temperatures of the batteries prepared with their diaphragms are also the lowest, which are 435, 415 °C and 425, 420 °C respectively. It can be seen from this that the asymmetric structure coated diaphragm prepared by the preparation method of the present invention has good application performance in the battery.
