[0056] The melting points of the first and second base films can be tested using known devices and methods in the art. For example, they can be measured using differential scanning calorimetry. For example, see standard GB / T 19466.3-2004. For example, they can be measured according to the following method: 4-6 mg of the sample to be measured is placed in the sample chamber of the differential scanning calorimeter, and the temperature is increased from 25°C to 400°C at a rate of 10°C / min to obtain a melting endothermic curve of the sample. The temperature corresponding to the peak value of the curve is the melting point of the sample.

[0057] The first base film 11 and the second base film 12 may be directly combined by hot pressing. During the hot pressing process, if the temperature is too high, the porosity will be small and the air permeability will be poor, while if the temperature is too low, the adhesion between the first base film 11 and the second base film 12 will be insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the hot pressing temperature appropriately. Optionally, the hot pressing temperature is 20°C-50°C. Referring to FIG. 2 , in any embodiment of the present application, an intermediate layer 13 may be further provided between the first base film 11 and the second base film 12, and the intermediate layer 13 includes an adhesive.

Chemical modification methods include coupling agent modification (e.g., silane coupling agents, titanate ester coupling agents, etc.), surfactant modification, and polymer graft modification. Physical modification methods include mechanical dispersion, ultrasonic dispersion, and high-energy treatment. Modification treatment can reduce the aggregation of inorganic particles, thereby making the adhesive layer more stable and uniform. Furthermore, modifying the inorganic particles by selecting a coupling agent, surfactant, or polymer with a specific functional group can improve the electrolyte penetration and retention properties of the adhesive layer and the adhesion of the adhesive layer to the first and second base films.

[0117] (4) The first base film and the second base film after coating in step (3) are hot-pressed together to obtain a separator, and the intermediate layer is located between the first base film and the second base film.

[0118] The manufacturing methods of separators 2 to 13 are the same as those of separator 1, except that one or more of the melting point, material, transverse direction breaking elongation, longitudinal direction breaking elongation, transverse direction tensile strength, or longitudinal direction tensile strength of the base film are adjusted. For details, see Table 1. All other manufacturing methods are the same as those of the separator of Example 1.

[0119] The first separator prepared by the above method is subjected to relevant performance tests, the results of which are shown in Table 1.

[0120] 2. Battery manufacturing

[0121] Example 1

[0122] 1. Manufacturing of positive electrode sheets Cathode active material LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O2 (NCM811), conductive carbon black (SuperP), and adhesive polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were uniformly mixed in a mass ratio of 96.2:2.7:1.1 in an appropriate amount of solvent N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) to obtain a positive electrode slurry. The positive electrode slurry was then applied to a positive electrode current collector aluminum foil, dried, cold pressed, cut into strips, and cut into a positive electrode sheet.

[0123] 2. Manufacturing of negative electrode sheets The negative electrode active material artificial graphite, the conductive agent carbon black (SuperP), the adhesive styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), and the carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC-Na) were uniformly mixed in a mass ratio of 96.4:0.7:1.8:1.1 in an appropriate amount of deionized water as a solvent to obtain a negative electrode slurry. The negative electrode slurry was then applied to a negative electrode current collector copper foil, and the negative electrode sheet was obtained by performing drying, cold pressing, cutting into strips, and cutting processes.

[0124] 3. Separator The separator used was the first separator produced above.

[0125] 4. Electrolyte production Ethylene carbonate (EC) and methyl ethyl carbonate (EMC) were mixed in a mass ratio of 30:70 to obtain an organic solvent, and thoroughly dried electrolyte salt LiPF6 was dissolved in the mixed solvent to obtain an electrolyte solution with a concentration of 1.0 mol / L.

[0126] 5. Secondary battery manufacturing The positive electrode sheet, separator, and negative electrode sheet were stacked in this order, with the separator between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet to serve as a cutoff, and then wound to obtain an electrode component. The electrode component was placed in an outer casing, and the above-prepared electrolyte solution was injected into the dried secondary battery, which was then vacuum packaged, left to stand, chemically converted, and molded to obtain a secondary battery.

[0127] The manufacturing method of Example 2-11 is the same as that of the secondary battery of Comparative Example 1-2 and that of Example 1, but differs in that different separators are used (Example 1-11 employs separators 1 to 11, and Comparative Example 1-2 employs separators 12 to 13). Specifically, see Table 1.

[0128] 3. Battery performance test

[0129] 1. 250℃ transverse heat shrinkage test Sample preparation: The separator prepared above was punched out into samples 50 mm wide and 100 mm long using a press, and five parallel samples were placed on top of an A4 sheet of paper and fixed in place. The A4 sheet of paper containing the samples was then placed on top of cardboard with a thickness of 1 mm to 5 mm.

[0130] Sample test: An A4 sheet of paper placed on a piece of cardboard was placed in a blast oven, the temperature of the blast oven was set to 250°C, and after the temperature reached the set temperature and stabilized for 30 minutes, timing began. After the set time (1 hour in this application) was reached, the width of the separator was measured and the value was represented as a.

[0131] Heat shrinkage calculation: Transverse direction (TD) heat shrinkage = [(50-a) / 50] x 100%, and the average value of five parallel samples was used as the test result.

[0132] 2. Nail penetration resistance The test was conducted at 25°C and with the battery at 100% SOC. The order of placement was insulation pad / punctured battery cell / insulation pad / battery cell to be tested / insulation pad. A high-temperature resistant thermocouple was connected, and the water cycle was started promptly. Once the temperature of the large area of ​​the battery cell stabilized at 25°C, the cycle continued for at least 10 minutes. A 3mm high-temperature resistant steel needle was used, facing the center of the heat source, at a puncture speed of 0.01mm / s, until the punctured battery cell failed and burned. Changes in the voltage and other values ​​of the battery cell to be tested were monitored. When the battery failed (when the voltage displayed on the device fluctuated or dropped suddenly), the test stopped and the length of time was recorded. If the voltage and other values ​​remained unchanged, the test passed. The punctured battery cell refers to a battery cell that had already been punctured and was used as the heat source.

[0133] [Table 1]

[0134] As can be seen from Table 1, in Examples 1-11, the melting point of the second base film is lower than the melting point of the first base film, the transverse breaking elongation of the second base film is higher than the longitudinal breaking elongation of the second base film, and the longitudinal breaking elongation of the second base film is lower than 100%, and the battery using this separator has improved resistance to nail penetration and higher battery reliability.

[0135] In Comparative Example 1-2, the second base film has a transverse breaking elongation equal to or less than the longitudinal breaking elongation of the second base film, and is poor in heat resistance and nail penetration resistance, which is likely to cause battery safety problems.

[0136] The above are only specific embodiments of the present application, and the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Anyone skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
