The present invention proposes a battery separator comprising at least one base film, at least one inorganic layer disposed on the base film, and a plurality of polymeric microparticles disposed on the inorganic layer, the density of which is lower than that of the inorganic layer. The method involves blending the polymeric microparticles with barium titanate to form a multilayer structure, coating the resulting slurry on the base film, and then baking it in an oven. During the baking process, due to the density difference between the barium titanate and the polymeric microparticles, the denser barium titanate sinks and the polymeric microparticles float, resulting in a battery separator with excellent heat resistance and high adhesion.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lithium ion battery separators, and more particularly to battery separators and methods for making same. [Background technology]

[0002] The excessive use of fossil fuels has caused serious environmental pollution problems. To address these issues, the use of alternative energy materials to replace fossil fuels has become particularly important. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in household appliances, power products, and energy storage products due to their advantages such as high energy density, high safety and stability, and long cycle life.

[0003] Battery separators are a key component in lithium batteries. Currently, microporous battery separators are typically manufactured by extrusion, extraction, and stretching of polyolefin materials. To improve the separator's heat resistance, a polyolefin base film is typically coated with a highly heat-resistant inorganic material (e.g., ceramics, cellulose, aramid, etc.). However, inorganic particles have poor dispersion, are prone to shedding, and suffer from severe powder shedding. They must be combined with other components, significantly increasing production costs. Furthermore, to meet the requirements of current battery manufacturing processes, strong adhesion between the separator and the electrode plates is essential to prevent electrode tab misalignment. The current approach to producing separators with high heat resistance and adhesiveness is to coat inorganic particle powder with an adhesive layer (PVDF). However, PVDF has a relatively high softening point, making it difficult to reach its softening point at low hot-pressing temperatures, resulting in a lack of significant adhesion between the separator and the positive and negative electrode plates.

[0004] The battery separator proposed by the present invention effectively solves the problems of existing battery separators, such as low heat resistance, a narrow hot pressing process window for the separator and electrode plates, the need for two coating processes to manufacture separators with high heat resistance and high adhesion, which consumes a large amount of energy, the complex composition of the coating material, and poor slurry stability, resulting in large fluctuations in the physical property parameters of the coating during the coating process, and has superior performance compared to conventional separators. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising: at least one inorganic layer located on the base film; and a plurality of polymer fine particles located on the inorganic layer and having a density lower than that of the inorganic layer.

[0006] Preferably, the inorganic layer comprises one or more of barium titanate, alumina, silica, and titanium dioxide.

[0007] Preferably, the polymeric microparticles include one or more of a polyacrylonitrile layer, a polystyrene layer, a polyvinylidene fluoride layer, a polymethyl methacrylate layer, and a polyacrylamide layer.

[0008] Preferably, the polymeric microparticles have a vegetable oil layer on the outside. Preferably, the vegetable oil layer comprises one or more of sunflower seed oil, tallow seed oil, olive oil, rubber seed oil, castor oil, tung oil, palm oil.

[0009] Preferably, the polymer microparticles further contain a plurality of cellulose nanofibrils, the plurality of cellulose nanofibrils being located outside the vegetable oil layer, and some of the plurality of cellulose nanofibrils being connected to the inorganic layer. Preferably, the cellulose nanofibrils comprise one or more of absorbent cotton, paper pulp, wood pulp, and hemp.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a vegetable oil-based precursor, comprising the steps of: mixing vegetable oil, N-methylethanolamine, and a catalyst, and then sealing and heating the mixture to obtain a vegetable oil-based precursor; mixing the vegetable oil-based precursor and anhydride, and then sealing and heating the mixture to obtain a vegetable oil-based acrylate monomer; mixing the vegetable oil-based acrylate monomer, peroxybenzoic acid, and sodium carbonate, and then sealing and stirring at room temperature to obtain a vegetable oil-based acrylate epoxy monomer; and uniformly mixing the vegetable oil-based acrylate epoxy monomer, styrene monomer, methyl methacrylate monomer, vinylidene fluoride monomer, and acrylonitrile monomer. the resulting mixture is cooled to room temperature after the reaction is completed, and then filtered through a filter mesh to obtain a polymer composite emulsion; the polymer composite emulsion is mixed with an inorganic substance to obtain a coating slurry; and the coating slurry is applied to a base film and baked to obtain a battery separator.

[0011] Preferably, the cellulose nanofibril suspension comprises one or more of absorbent cotton, paper pulp, wood pulp, and hemp. Preferably, the inorganic material comprises one or more of barium titanate, alumina, silica, and titanium dioxide.

[0012] Preferably, the heating temperature after mixing the vegetable oil, the N-methylethanolamine, and the catalyst is 50 to 80°C, and the reaction time is 8 hours; the heating temperature after mixing the vegetable oil-based precursor and the anhydride is 60 to 80°C, and the reaction time is 8 to 12 hours; and the stirring time for mixing the vegetable oil-based acrylate monomer, the peroxybenzoic acid, and the sodium carbonate is 12 hours.

[0013] Preferably, the ultrasonic disrupter has a processing power of 600 to 800 watts and a processing time of 10 to 15 minutes, and is characterized in that the Pickering emulsion is dropped into the mixed solvent, then the water-soluble initiator is added, and polymerization is carried out at 60 to 80°C for 2 to 4 hours.

[0014] Preferably, the oil / water ratio of the oil / water mixture is 1:4-8. Preferably, the water-soluble initiator comprises one or more of ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, and peroxide. Preferably, after the coating slurry is applied to the base film, it is baked at 60 to 90° C. for 0.5 to 3 minutes.

[0015] In this disclosure, vegetable oil-based acrylate monomers are synthesized using vegetable oil as a raw material, and methacrylate monomers, vinylidene fluoride monomers, acrylonitrile monomers, acrylamide monomers, and styrene monomers are added in predetermined proportions. Cellulose nanofibrils are dispersed and polymerized using a stabilizer, a mixture of ethanol and water as a dispersant, and azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. This manufacturing method is more environmentally friendly than conventional manufacturing methods. The resulting multilayered polymer microparticles are then blended with barium titanate, and the blended slurry is directly coated onto a substrate and then baked in an oven. During the baking process, due to the density difference between the barium titanate and the polymer microparticles, the denser barium titanate sinks, while the polymer microparticles float.

Furthermore, the battery separator proposed by the present invention is suitable for hot pressing processes used by various battery manufacturers, and has adhesive strength with the electrode plates over a hot pressing temperature range of 25 to 150°C.

[0022] In step S1, the vegetable oil-based acrylate epoxy monomer is first prepared. 8-20 parts vegetable oil, 1-4 parts N-methylethanolamine, and 0.1-1 part catalyst are mixed, sealed, and heated to 50-80°C for 8 hours. The unreacted materials and catalyst are then removed to obtain a vegetable oil-based precursor. 8-20 parts vegetable oil-based precursor and 2-15 parts anhydride are mixed, sealed, and heated to 60-80°C for 8-12 hours.
