[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery separator, specifically relates to a high safety flame -retardant composite separator. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important component of lithium battery, the performance of the separator has a decisive influence on the performance of the battery. Lithium ion battery is prone to heat release during charging and discharging, so the temperature of the lithium battery will rise, and when the lithium ion battery temperature is high when overcharging occurs, the separator is easy to melt and shrink under heat, causing the lithium battery to short circuit and catch fire, poor safety. In order to improve the heat resistance of the separator, ceramic coating is usually coated on the surface of the separator, however, the existing ceramic coated separator needs a large coating thickness to effectively prevent the thermal shrinkage of the separator under high temperature, which does not meet the current requirements of miniaturization and high safety of the battery. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model provides a high safety flame -retardant composite separator in view of the deficiency of prior art, it can improve the heat resistance of the separator under the condition of reducing the coating thickness of the separator, improve the safety of lithium ion battery.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0005] A kind of high safety flame -retardant composite separator, including base film, the opposite two side surfaces of the base film are equipped with nanocellulose coating, the nanocellulose coating is connected by PVDF and base film adhesion, the nanocellulose coating is inlaid with the composite ceramic particles of uniform distribution, the composite ceramic particle is the core-shell structure with polyammonium phosphate as core, MOF base material as shell. By setting nanocellulose coating on the surface of base film, and embedding the composite ceramic particles of core-shell structure in nanocellulose coating, the base film is supported using nanocellulose as framework, even at low coating thickness, it can avoid the thermal shrinkage of the separator under high temperature, improve battery safety;When battery temperature is further increased or burns, polyammonium phosphate in composite ceramic particles is decomposed to release ammonia gas to play a flame -retardant role, at the same time, polyammonium phosphate can promote the decomposition of MOP base material, so as to form dense carbon layer attached to nanocellulose framework, thereby improving the stability and heat decomposition resistance of nanocellulose framework.

[0006] As a preferred technical scheme, the outer surface of one layer of nanocellulose coating is coated with electrolyte storage layer, and the electrolyte storage layer is a styrene-acrylate emulsion copolymer coating. By coating the electrolyte storage layer, a large amount of electrolyte can be absorbed to form a gel layer inside the battery, and the lithium ions in the electrolyte storage layer can be uniformly diffused to the negative electrode during battery charging, which is conducive to relieving the formation of lithium dendrites.

[0007] Preferably, the nanocellulose coating has a coating thickness of 0.5-3 microns.

[0008] Preferably, the base film is one of a PP film, a PE film, or a PP / PE composite film.

[0009] Preferably, the base film has a thickness of 4-12 microns.

[0010] Preferably, the nanocellulose in the nanocellulose coating has a diameter of 4-30 nanometers, a length of 300-1000 nanometers, and a thermal decomposition temperature of 265-335 degrees Celsius.

[0011] Preferably, the nanocellulose in the nanocellulose coating is a plant-based cellulose nanocrystal.

[0012] Preferably, the MOF substrate is one of ZIF-8, ZIF-67, MOF-199, MOF-74, or UIO-66.

[0013] Preferably, the electrolyte storage layer has a coating thickness of 0.5-3 microns.

[0014] Preferably, the composite ceramic particles have a particle size D50 of 0.3-2 microns.

[0015] The present application has obvious advantages and beneficial effects compared to the prior art. Specifically, by providing a nanocellulose coating on the surface of the base film and embedding composite ceramic particles with a core-shell structure in the nanocellulose coating, the nanocellulose is used as a framework to support the base film, which can prevent the diaphragm from thermal contraction at high temperatures even at a low coating thickness, thereby improving battery safety. When the battery temperature further increases or burns, the ammonium polyphosphate in the composite ceramic particles decomposes and releases ammonia gas to play a flame-retardant role. At the same time, the ammonium polyphosphate can also promote the decomposition of the MOP substrate, thereby forming a dense carbon layer attached to the nanocellulose framework, thereby improving the stability and thermal decomposition resistance of the nanocellulose framework. By coating the electrolyte storage layer, a large amount of electrolyte can be absorbed inside the battery cell to form a gel layer. During the battery charging process, lithium ions in the electrolyte storage layer will uniformly diffuse to the negative electrode, which is conducive to relieving the formation of lithium dendrites.

Uniformly distributed composite ceramic particles 21 are embedded in the nano-cellulose coating 20.

By setting the nano-cellulose coating 20 on the surface of the base film 10 and embedding the core-shell structured composite ceramic particles 21 within the nano-cellulose coating 20, nano-cellulose is used as a framework to support the base film 10. Even at low coating thicknesses and high temperatures, thermal shrinkage of the separator can be avoided, improving battery safety. When the battery temperature further increases or combustion occurs, the ammonium polyphosphate in the composite ceramic particles 21 decomposes upon heating, releasing ammonia gas, which can dilute flammable gases and play a flame-retardant role. Simultaneously, ammonium polyphosphate can also promote the decomposition of the MOP substrate, thereby forming a dense carbon layer attached to the nano-cellulose framework, thus improving the stability and thermal decomposition resistance of the nano-cellulose framework.

The particle size D50 of the composite ceramic particles 21 is 0.3–2 μm, preferably 0.5–0.8 μm.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown in Embodiment 2 of this utility model, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that an electrolyte storage layer 30 is coated on the outer surface of the nanocellulose coating 20. The electrolyte storage layer 30 is a styrene-acrylate emulsion copolymer coating, and the coating thickness of the electrolyte storage layer 30 is 0.5–3 μm. By coating the electrolyte storage layer 30, a large amount of electrolyte can be absorbed inside the battery cell to form a gel layer. During battery charging, lithium ions in the electrolyte storage layer 30 will diffuse evenly to the negative electrode, which helps to alleviate the formation of lithium dendrites.

[0027] In summary, the utility model discloses a base film 10 surface is provided with nanocellulose coating 20, and the nanocellulose coating 20 is embedded in the composite ceramic particle 21 of core-shell structure, to utilize nanocellulose as the skeleton to support base film 10, even in low coating thickness at high temperature can avoid diaphragm heat shrinkage, improve battery safety, when battery temperature is further raised or burns, ammonium polyphosphate in composite ceramic particle 21 is heated and decomposed and releases ammonia gas and plays the role of flame retardant, simultaneously, ammonium polyphosphate can promote the decomposition of MOP base material, to form the compact carbon layer and attach on nanocellulose skeleton, thereby improve the stability and heat decomposition performance of nanocellulose skeleton, through coating electrolyte storage layer 30, to can absorb a large amount of electrolyte and form gel layer in the inside of electric core, in the battery charging process, the lithium ion of electrolyte storage layer 30 will evenly diffuse to the negative pole, be favorable to the formation of lithium dendrite relief.
