Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery separators, in particular to a novel separator for batteries. Background Art
[0002] The battery separator is one of the key components in lithium-ion batteries. It is located between the positive and negative electrodes of the battery and plays the following main roles:
[0003] Isolation effect: The main function of the diaphragm is to physically isolate the positive and negative electrodes of the battery to prevent direct contact between the two electrodes and cause a short circuit.
[0004] Ion transport: The separator allows lithium ions in the electrolyte to pass between the positive and negative electrodes to complete ion migration during charging and discharging.
[0005] Safety: The separator provides a degree of safety protection when the battery overheats or experiences abnormalities. Some separator materials melt or shrink at specific temperatures, forming closed pores that prevent the passage of lithium ions and reduce the risk of short circuits.
[0006] Retaining electrolyte: The separator can also help retain and distribute the electrolyte, ensuring that the electrolyte can fully infiltrate the electrodes and improve battery performance.
[0007] There are two types of battery separators today, namely multi-layer structure separators and ceramic coated separators, but most of these two types of separators have the following problems: 1. They may not have sufficient thermal stability at high temperatures, which may affect the safety and service life of the battery; 2. The battery separator needs to have good affinity with the electrolyte, but the above-mentioned separator materials perform poorly in this regard, affecting the electrolyte absorption capacity and battery performance; 3. The above-mentioned separator materials are insufficient in mechanical strength and are easily damaged during battery manufacturing or use.
[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of battery separator to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
