Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery equipment technology, and in particular to a lithium battery containing a Mylar membrane with high thermal conductivity and high heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid increase in demand for new energy sources in modern society, the requirements for the electrical and safety performance of lithium-ion batteries are also becoming increasingly stringent. Insufficient heat dissipation, leading to safety hazards and lifespan degradation, greatly limits their performance and application scope. Therefore, improving the heat dissipation performance of lithium-ion batteries has a significant impact on their application.

[0003] Currently, in the production process of square lithium batteries, the wound core needs to be wrapped with a soft and flexible insulating film before being placed into the casing. This ensures that the cell is completely insulated and prevents the hard casing from affecting the wound core, especially its safety performance. Currently, lithium battery cores are mostly wrapped with PP Mylar film, which provides electronic insulation and prevents short circuits caused by accidental impacts that could puncture the separator. This serves a crucial role in battery safety protection.

[0004] Although the Mylar membrane structure of lithium batteries is relatively simple, using thermoplastic molding of PP material to completely cover the core, thus meeting the shell requirements, PP film material itself has very poor thermal conductivity, only 0.22 W / mK. Furthermore, lithium batteries continuously generate heat and experience temperature rises during charging and discharging; this sustained temperature accumulation is difficult to dissipate, potentially leading to electrolyte decomposition, decreased charging rate, reduced battery life, and even safety issues such as lithium plating. Low-defect, large-diameter graphene, on the other hand, has a thermal conductivity of 5300 W / mK, 20,000 times that of PP, making it an excellent thermal conductor.

[0005] Therefore, this invention designs a porous Mylar membrane structure with a graphene coating that has high thermal conductivity and high heat dissipation, in order to improve the safety and rate performance of the battery cell. Utility Model Content

[0010] According to one aspect of this utility model, the heat dissipation hole is circular with a size of 0.1–3 mm; the hole for electrolyte passage has a size of one-third to one-quarter of the heat dissipation hole. The shape of the hole for electrolyte passage includes circular and rectangular. Preferably, the shape of the hole for electrolyte passage is circular.

[0015] According to one aspect of this invention, the thickness of the graphene coating is 0.1–0.5 mm; the graphene content in the graphene coating is 0.1–1.0 g / m³. 2 .

[0016] According to one aspect of the present invention, the preparation process of the graphene coating is as follows: graphene powder and resin binder are dispersed in polyvinylpyrrolidone solvent at a mass ratio of 1:3 to 3:1 to obtain a slurry, which is then coated onto a substrate.

[0017] According to one aspect of this utility model, the graphene powder contains graphene flakes with a diameter > 10 μm, a number of layers < 6, and a specific surface area > 200 m². 2 / g.

[0018] According to one aspect of the present invention, the resin adhesive is prepared by in-situ polymerization of functionalized monomers.

[0019] According to one aspect of this invention, the monomer includes at least one of acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and propylene resin. Small molecules can improve dispersion performance, while large molecules and cyano groups improve adhesion, thereby enhancing the mechanical and electrical properties of the coating, electrolyte resistance, and preventing peeling.

[0020] The above-mentioned solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] This invention significantly increases the heat dissipation area and heat diffusion channels by designing a porous Mylar membrane, avoiding the problem of heat accumulation and difficulty in dissipation. Furthermore, a graphene coating is uniformly applied to the surface of the porous Mylar membrane, absorbing and diffusing the Joule heat and temperature rise generated during lithium battery charging and discharging, achieving a cooling effect inside the battery. This greatly improves the internal temperature uniformity of the cell and plays a crucial role in enhancing the fast-charging characteristics, lifespan, and safety protection of lithium batteries.
