Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an asymmetric diaphragm and a battery, belonging to the technical field of lithium battery diaphragms. Background Art
[0002] In the structure of lithium batteries, the diaphragm is one of the key internal components. Located between the positive and negative electrodes, the diaphragm primarily separates the positive and negative active materials, preventing short circuits between the two electrodes due to contact, while allowing for the rapid transport of charged ions. To improve the heat resistance of the diaphragm, a layer of slurry is applied to the diaphragm. The slurry improves the heat resistance of the diaphragm and enhances the safety of the lithium battery. However, the compatibility between the slurry and the diaphragm in the current state of the art is poor, resulting in the slurry easily falling off the diaphragm, weakening the heat resistance of the diaphragm product and, in turn, affecting the service life of the lithium battery.
[0003] With the development of battery technology, battery production efficiency has improved. Based on the traditional winding and lamination processes, some battery companies have also developed more advanced thermal composite lamination processes. Generally, the lamination process or thermal composite lamination process requires a certain degree of adhesion between the separator and the positive and negative electrodes to reduce the gap between the separator and the positive and negative electrodes during the battery charging and discharging process, thereby improving the battery charging and discharging performance. The method currently used by separator companies is to coat the base film with PVDF. For example, Chinese patent application CN105552284A discloses a composite coated lithium-ion battery separator and a preparation method thereof, in which a PVDF coating is applied to the battery separator. The PVDF coating used 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 a preparation method thereof. The separator is composed of a lithium-ion battery base membrane and a coating on one or both sides of the base membrane. The coating is obtained by coating, soaking, and drying an aramid slurry. The aramid slurry is composed of an aramid fiber dissolving solution, an emulsifier solution, and a polymer adhesive. Although these related technologies can effectively improve the adhesion between the diaphragm and the electrode, they cannot achieve different adhesion between the diaphragm and the positive and negative electrodes. For the positive and negative electrode materials and battery processes of the battery, there are differences in the adhesion between the positive and negative electrodes and the diaphragm, so it is necessary to achieve different adhesion between the two sides of the diaphragm to the positive and negative electrodes, and for different electrode materials, the adhesion performance requirements for the diaphragm are different.
[0004] Currently, commercialized PVDF membranes are mainly PVDF coated on polyolefin membranes mainly composed of polyethylene and polypropylene, including water-based coating and oil-based coating. On the one hand, there is the same adhesion between the positive and negative electrodes and the membrane, and on the other hand, there are safety hazards caused by poor heat resistance. Moreover, it is generally necessary to coat twice to achieve adhesion on both sides of the membrane, resulting in high costs and energy waste. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an asymmetric diaphragm, which can not only meet the different bonding forces with the positive and negative electrodes, but also improve the heat resistance of the diaphragm, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0149] Table 1 Diaphragm performance test
[0150]

[0152] Application Examples 1-10
[0153] The diaphragm obtained in the above embodiment was assembled into a 4Ah 811 system ternary lithium battery using a lamination process.
[0154] The batteries assembled with the separators of the above embodiments 1-10 correspond to application examples 1-10 respectively.
[0155] Comparative Application Example 1
[0156] The battery was assembled using the same method as in Application Example 1, except that the separator was replaced with a commercially available 7 μm PE-based film.
[0157] Application Comparative Example 2
[0158] The battery was assembled using the same method as in Application Example 1, except that the separator was replaced with a commercially available (1+2+7+2+1) μm PE / ceramic / PVDF coating membrane, where 2 is the ceramic coating thickness, 1 is the coating thickness of the water-based roller-coated PVDF, and 7 is the PE base membrane thickness.
[0159] The batteries of the above application examples and comparative application examples were subjected to performance tests, and the specific test results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0160] Table 2 Battery performance test results
[0161]
[0162] It can be seen from the data in the above table that the battery separators of application examples 1-10, compared with the PE base film of application comparison example 1 and the PE / ceramic / PVDF coating film of application comparison example 2, have improved capacity retention rates after 100 cycles, all of which are above 90%, which can effectively improve the battery cycle life. In the Arc (accelerating calorimeter) test, application comparison example 1 does not have a high-temperature resistant coating layer, and the measured Arc temperature is 739°C. The Arc temperature of application comparison example 2 with a high-temperature resistant ceramic coating is reduced to 620°C. The high-temperature resistant aromatic polyamides in application examples 5-6 and application examples 9-10 respectively use para-aramid and aromatic III with better heat resistance, and the Arc temperature of the batteries prepared with their separators is also the lowest, at 412°C and 434°C, respectively. It can be seen from this that the separator described in the utility model has good application performance in batteries.
