Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery materials, and in particular to a secondary battery separator, a secondary battery, and an electrical device. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing severity of global warming and environmental pollution, changing the energy structure and developing new energy sources are crucial strategies for addressing these issues. In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and large-scale electric equipment such as electric bicycles due to their advantages including high voltage, high cycle life, and long storage time. Therefore, future development of lithium-ion batteries inevitably requires a comprehensive improvement in energy density, cycle life, and safety performance, which necessitates the development of higher-performance separators to match these requirements.
[0003] Currently, separators are mainly coated with organic and / or ceramic coatings to improve performance such as cycle life, energy density, and mechanical strength. However, separator coatings are usually fully coated with high surface density and 100% coverage, resulting in strong adhesion to the electrodes. However, this coating is prone to pore blockage, which is detrimental to lithium-ion transport. As a result, the kinetic performance of the battery decreases after assembly, and the coating has weak electrolyte storage capacity, making it prone to lithium plating during cycling. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a secondary battery separator, a secondary battery, and an electrical device. By coating the separator with a cross-shaped stripe layer, the electrolyte absorption rate and storage capacity of the separator can be improved, effectively reducing lithium plating during charge-discharge cycles.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a secondary battery separator, including a base film, a heat-resistant ceramic layer and a stripe layer, wherein the heat-resistant ceramic layer is disposed on one or both sides of the base film, the stripe layer is disposed on both sides of the base film, and the heat-resistant ceramic layer is located between the base film and the stripe layer.
[0006] The stripe layer includes stripe band areas and interval areas;
[0007] The striped area includes striped stripes A and striped stripes B that are arranged intersecting each other. Each striped stripe A and striped stripe B is independent and has at least two of each. There is a gap between adjacent striped stripes A or adjacent striped stripes B and they are parallel to each other.
[0008] The interval region is formed by the interval between two adjacent stripe bands A and two adjacent stripe bands B;
[0009] The areas of the striped band regions and the spacer regions in the striped layer satisfy the following relationship:
[0010] 10%≤S1 / S2<100%;
[0011] In the formula, S1 is the area of the interval region and S2 is the area of the stripe region.
[0012] This application involves coating a striped layer on both sides of the separator. The striped layer can be arranged in a woven mesh pattern. The intersecting stripes form several uncoated meshes in the interstices, which facilitates the penetration of electrolyte into the separator and increases the electrolyte absorption rate of the separator. Furthermore, the interstices without stripes are conducive to electrolyte storage. By controlling the ratio of the interstices area to the stripe area, the electrolyte retention during cyclic charging and discharging can be effectively increased, reducing lithium plating and especially avoiding electrolyte depletion at the corners of the cell.

It also avoids the contact of the positive and negative large areas caused by the shrinkage of the separator.

[0086] Performance testing
[0087] 1. Battery capacity retention: At 25 °C, the separators prepared in the examples and comparative examples were assembled into lithium-ion batteries. The batteries were charged at a constant current of 3 C to 4.35 V, then charged at a constant current and voltage of 1.8 C to 4.48 V, with a cutoff current of 0.05 C, and then discharged at 0.7 C to 3.0 V. Following the above charge-discharge cycle, the lithium-ion batteries were subjected to 800 cycles. The capacity retention rate after the 800th cycle was recorded. The test results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0088] 2. Lithium plating interface evaluation: The battery after 800 cycles was fully charged, then disassembled, and the state of the negative electrode was recorded by taking pictures. The area of lithium plating in the black spots on the interface was counted, and the lithium plating level was evaluated according to the standard in Table 1. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0089] Table 1 - Evaluation Criteria for Lithium Plaque Grade of Negative Electrode Sheets After Charge and Discharge of Lithium-ion Batteries
[0090]
[0091] Table 2 - Lithium plating evaluation results of the membrane-assembled batteries in the embodiments and comparative examples of this application.
[0092]
[0093] As shown in Table 2, this application coats a woven mesh-like striped layer on both sides of the separator. The square mesh formed by the spacers promotes electrolyte penetration into the separator, increasing the electrolyte storage capacity. In Example 1, the ratio of the spacer area to the striped stripe area is controlled at 30%, which effectively improves the electrolyte retention during charge-discharge cycles, eliminates lithium plating, and enhances the battery's long-cycle capacity retention. In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, the ratio of the spacer area to the striped stripe area is 5%, resulting in excessive stripe coating area. In Comparative Example 2, the striped layer is fully coated, leading to low electrolyte absorption rate and low storage capacity on the separator. This results in severe lithium plating during long-term charge-discharge cycles and a decrease in capacity retention.
[0094] Compared to Example 1, the striped layer of Comparative Example 3 is arranged with parallel stripes spaced apart. The amount of electrolyte stored in the separator is reduced compared to Example 1, which leads to lithium plating during the charge-discharge cycle of the battery. The electrolyte retention energy of the separator decreases, and the capacity retention rate decreases.
[0095] Compared to Example 1, the separator in Comparative Example 4 did not have a striped layer coated on both sides, which greatly reduced the separator's ability to store electrolyte and resulted in severe lithium plating. Furthermore, the weak adhesion between the separator and the electrode was detrimental to the later cycle performance of the battery, leading to poorer battery cycle performance.
