[0022] For examples, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A sandwich lithium battery separator includes a porous polyethylene separator layer 1. The porous polyethylene separator layer 1 includes two base layers 101, and a flame-retardant capsule 103 is filled between the two base layers 101. W-shaped micropores 102 are uniformly opened inside the two base layers 101. A high-temperature resistant layer 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the two base layers 101 that is far away from each other. A thermally conductive layer 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the two high-temperature resistant layers 2 that is far away from the base layers 101. A reinforcing layer 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the two thermally conductive layers 3 that is far away from the high-temperature resistant layers 2. An uneven layer 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the two reinforcing layers 4 that is far away from the thermally conductive layers 3, which increases the contact area with the electrolyte.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the flame-retardant capsule 103 is made of mica material and mica composite material, which has good electrical insulation, thermal insulation, flame retardant properties and impact resistance. The two base layers 101 are made of PE film or PP film. The two high-temperature resistant layers 2 are ceramic particle layers, which improve the thermal conductivity and heat dissipation performance of the battery separator. The two thermally conductive layers 3 are graphene slurry layers. The two uneven layers 6 are made of polyethylene oxide. The reinforcing layer 4 has reinforcing ribs 5 uniformly arranged inside. The reinforcing ribs 5 are arranged perpendicularly to each other in a mesh pattern, which can enhance the strength of the battery separator. The W-shaped micropores 102 have a pore size of 0.05 to 0.08 μm, which can inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites and prevent lithium dendrites from piercing the separator and causing a short circuit in the battery. The thickness of the reinforcing layer 4 is 2 to 3 μm, and the thickness of the two base layers 101 is 5 to 7 μm.

[0025] The working process of this utility model is as follows: During use, W-shaped micropores 102 are opened inside the two base layers 101. Compared with straight vent holes, these can inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites and prevent lithium dendrites from piercing the separator and causing a short circuit in the battery. At the same time, they can effectively increase the electrolyte adsorption of the lithium battery separator and improve its electrolyte retention capacity. The flame-retardant capsule 103 filled between the two base layers 101 is made of mica material and mica composite material, which has good electrical insulation, thermal insulation, flame retardant properties and impact resistance. The high-temperature resistant layer 2 and the thermally conductive layer 3 on both sides are respectively a ceramic particle layer and a graphene slurry layer. The ceramic particles further improve the high-temperature resistance of the separator, and the graphene slurry improves the thermal conductivity and heat dissipation of the battery separator. The reinforcing ribs 5 arranged in a mesh pattern inside the reinforcing layer 4 greatly enhance the strength of the battery separator. The uneven layer 6 on the surface increases the contact area with the electrolyte, which is beneficial to improve ion permeability and increase the power of the lithium battery.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
