[0001] Related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202311552346.8, filed on November 21, 2023, entitled “Polypropylene film, preparation method thereof, composite current collector, electrode plate and application”, the entire text of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a polypropylene film and a preparation method thereof, a composite current collector, an electrode plate, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0004] Currently, composite current collectors based on polypropylene films are gaining widespread attention and application in the new energy industry. Compared to traditional current collectors, these composite current collectors offer advantages such as low cost, lightweight, and excellent internal insulation. These advantages enable their use in batteries to reduce costs while increasing energy density and safety.

[0005] However, in the process of preparing composite current collectors using traditional polypropylene film as the base film, the surface tension of the polypropylene film is low due to the weak polarity of the polypropylene film itself. The affinity between the low surface tension polypropylene film and the high surface tension metal layer is poor, resulting in low adhesion between the interface of the two and weak bonding.

[0006] To address the problem of weak bonding between traditional polypropylene film and surface metal layer, the method of corona treatment on the surface of polypropylene film can be used to improve the adhesion between the polypropylene film and the surface metal layer. However, the surface tension of the polypropylene film after corona treatment is unstable. After storage for a period of time, the surface tension will decrease and finally approach the surface tension of the polypropylene film before treatment, causing the adhesion performance of the polypropylene film to deteriorate. That is, there is a problem of unstable storage of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film, which limits the application of polypropylene film in composite current collectors.

Obviously, the drawings described below are merely embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on the disclosed drawings without any creative work.

[0044] FIG1 is a cross-sectional view of the composite current collector prepared in Example 1 of the present application.

[0045] In the picture:

[0046] 1-composite current collector; 11-polypropylene film; 12-metal layer; 13-protective layer. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] In the description of this application, unless otherwise defined, technical terms and professional words not explicitly stated have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art and are common knowledge to those skilled in the art. Methods not explicitly stated are conventional methods known to those skilled in the art. The term "multiple" in this application means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0049] In this application, the technical features described in an open manner include closed technical solutions composed of the listed features, and also include open technical solutions containing the listed features.

[0050] In a first aspect of the present application, a method for preparing a polypropylene film is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0051] The raw materials are sequentially subjected to melt extrusion, sheet casting, biaxial stretching, and heat treatment to obtain a polypropylene film intermediate; the raw materials comprise, by mass percentage, 99% to 99.95% polypropylene and 0.05% to 1% additives, wherein the additives comprise one or more polyacrylic acid-metal ion complexes;

[0052] The polypropylene film intermediate is subjected to corona treatment to obtain a polypropylene film.

[0053] In the above preparation method, by controlling the content of the additive containing polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex in the raw material within a reasonable range, the crystallization of polypropylene can be promoted, so that the crystallinity of the polypropylene film is within a certain range, thereby improving the storage stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film, and realizing the stable preparation of the composite current collector with the polypropylene film as the base film. When the content of the additive in the polypropylene film is too high, the improvement of the crystallinity of the polypropylene film is limited and the film forming property is affected. In addition, the preparation method of the above polypropylene film is simple and easy, low in cost, high in processing efficiency, and easy to scale up. It can be understood that the raw materials of the polypropylene film may include: 99% polypropylene and 1% additives; or 99.2% polypropylene and 0.8% additives; or 99.4% polypropylene and 0.6% additives; or 99.6% polypropylene and 0.4% additives; or 99.8% polypropylene and 0.2% additives; or 99.95% polypropylene and 0.05% additives, etc.

[0054] In addition, the reason why the surface adhesion performance of traditional corona-treated polypropylene films decays during storage is that the polypropylene polymer after the surface corona treatment migrates to the interior of the polypropylene film due to its own movement during storage, thereby reducing the surface tension of the polypropylene film and causing the surface adhesion performance to decay. The polypropylene film prepared by the above preparation method, due to the addition of polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex, makes the crystallinity of the polypropylene film within a certain range, restricts the migration of the polypropylene polymer after the surface corona treatment to the interior of the polypropylene film, thereby improving the stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film during storage. Therefore, compared with the traditional corona-treated polypropylene film, the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film prepared by the above preparation method is higher in storage stability, realizing the stable preparation of the composite current collector with the polypropylene film as the base film.

[0055] In the present application, the polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex refers to a complex formed by polyacrylic acid and metal ions, which is different from polyacrylate.

[0056] First, in polyacrylic acid-metal ion complexes, metal ions react with the carboxyl groups of polyacrylic acid to form a complex with a repeating unit structure of ligand-metal ion. In polyacrylic acid salts, the hydrogen atoms in the carboxyl groups of polyacrylic acid are replaced by metal ions, forming a salt structure.

[0057] Secondly, polyacrylates promote polypropylene crystallization primarily through the nucleation effect of polyacrylates, while polyacrylic acid-metal ion complexes promote polypropylene crystallization through the electron delocalization conjugated structure formed by polyacrylic acid and metal ions, as well as their more regular arrangement structure. Polyacrylic acid-metal ion complexes and polyacrylates have different mechanisms for promoting polypropylene crystallization, resulting in different crystallization behaviors and effects.

[0058] Finally, compared with polyacrylates, the presence of metal ions in polyacrylic acid-metal ion complexes provides additional crystallization sites, promoting the crystallization of polypropylene. In addition, due to the stronger restriction of chain movement by the complexation effect, the polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex has a better effect in promoting crystallization.

[0059] In some embodiments, the additive further comprises a polymer salt, and the mass ratio of the polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex to the polymer salt is (0.1-5):1. This can further enhance the surface adhesion and storage stability of the polypropylene film. It is understood that the mass ratio of the two includes, but is not limited to, 0.1:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, and 5:1.

[0060] In some embodiments, the crystallinity y of the polypropylene film and the mass ratio x of the polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex and the polymer salt satisfy the following conditions: 0.82x 3 -10.4x 2 +32x+36.9≤y≤80%. The crystallinity of the polypropylene film and the mass ratio of the polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex to the polymer salt meet the above conditions, which can further improve the storage stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film. Optionally, x=0.1-5.

[0061] In some embodiments, the polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex includes one or more of a polyacrylic acid-nickel ion complex, a polyacrylic acid-cobalt ion complex, a polyacrylic acid-zinc ion complex, a polyacrylic acid-ferric ion complex, and a polyacrylic acid-copper ion complex. The polyacrylic acid-nickel ion complex, the polyacrylic acid-cobalt ion complex, the polyacrylic acid-zinc ion complex, the polyacrylic acid-ferric ion complex, and the polyacrylic acid-copper ion complex have a crystalline structure similar to that of polypropylene, can reduce interfacial surface free energy, are uniformly dispersed in polypropylene, provide sites for polypropylene crystallization, and further improve the storage stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film.

[0062] In the present application, the nickel element in the "polyacrylic acid-nickel ion complex" can be +2 valence or +3 valence; the cobalt element in the "polyacrylic acid-cobalt ion complex" can be +2 valence or +3 valence; the zinc element in the "polyacrylic acid-zinc ion complex" can be +2 valence; the iron element in the "polyacrylic acid-iron ion complex" can be +2 valence or +3 valence; the copper element in the "polyacrylic acid-copper ion complex" can be +2 valence.

[0063] In some embodiments, the polymer salt includes one or more of a polyacrylate and a zinc poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid). Alternatively, the polyacrylate includes one or more of sodium polyacrylate, potassium polyacrylate, and ammonium polyacrylate. Sodium polyacrylate, potassium polyacrylate, ammonium polyacrylate, zinc poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid), and polypropylene have similar crystalline structures, which can reduce interfacial surface free energy, uniformly disperse in polypropylene, provide sites for polypropylene crystallization, and further enhance the storage stability of the surface adhesion properties of the polypropylene film.

[0064] In some embodiments, the polypropylene film has a crystallinity of 40% or greater. If the crystallinity of the polypropylene film is too low, the surface adhesion properties of the polypropylene after corona treatment will degrade too quickly. Therefore, controlling the crystallinity of the polypropylene film to 40% or greater can further improve the storage stability of the surface adhesion properties of the polypropylene film. It is understood that the crystallinity of the polypropylene film includes, but is not limited to, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, and 85%.

[0065] In some embodiments, the polypropylene film has a crystallinity of 40% to 80%. This can further improve the storage stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film. Excessively high crystallinity of the polypropylene film is difficult to achieve and is prone to film breakage during the film production process.

[0066] In some embodiments, the melt index of polypropylene at 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg is 3 g / 10 min to 3.9 g / 10 min. This can improve the film forming properties and mechanical properties of the polypropylene film. For example, the melt index of polypropylene at 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg can be 3 g / 10 min, 3.3 g / 10 min, 3.6 g / 10 min, 3.9 g / 10 min, etc.

[0067] In some embodiments, the isotacticity of the polypropylene is ≥95%. This further improves the storage stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film. If the isotacticity of the polypropylene is too low, the crystallization performance of the polypropylene is poor, resulting in low crystallinity of the polypropylene film, which may cause unstable surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film.

[0068] In some embodiments, the biaxial stretching process includes a longitudinal stretching process and a transverse stretching process performed sequentially.

[0069] In some embodiments, the process conditions of the longitudinal stretching treatment include: a stretching temperature of 140° C. to 150° C., and a longitudinal stretching ratio of 7:1 to 11:1.

[0070] In the above preparation method, the longitudinal stretch ratio is controlled to 7:1-11:1, so that the polypropylene polymer is highly oriented, which can further promote the crystallization of polypropylene and improve the tensile strength of the polypropylene film. If the longitudinal stretch ratio is too low, the crystallinity of the polypropylene film will not be significantly improved; if the longitudinal stretch ratio is too high, the film will easily break, affecting the yield rate of the polypropylene film. It is understood that the longitudinal stretching temperature includes but is not limited to: 140°C, 142°C, 144°C, 146°C, 148°C, and 150°C, and the longitudinal stretch ratio includes but is not limited to: 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, and 11:1.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, the process conditions of the longitudinal stretching treatment further include: a preheating temperature of 110°C-135°C.

[0072] In some embodiments, the process conditions of the transverse stretching treatment include: a stretching temperature of 150° C. to 160° C., and a stretch ratio of 3:1 to 5:1. It is understood that the transverse stretching temperature includes, but is not limited to, 150° C., 152° C., 154° C., 156° C., 158° C., and 160° C., and the transverse stretch ratio includes, but is not limited to, 3:1, 4:1, and 5:1.

[0073] In some optional embodiments, the process conditions of the transverse stretching treatment further include: a preheating temperature of 120°C-140°C.

[0074] In some embodiments, the process conditions of the heat treatment include: a heat treatment temperature of 110°C-125°C, and a heat treatment time ≥5s. Controlling the heat treatment temperature and heat treatment time within the above range can further improve the storage stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film. Rapid crystallization of polypropylene can be achieved within the above heat treatment temperature range. If the heat treatment temperature is too high, the polypropylene polymer will be deoriented and the crystallinity of the polypropylene film will be reduced. It can be understood that the heat treatment temperature includes but is not limited to: 110°C, 115°C, 120°C, 125°C; the heat treatment time includes but is not limited to: 1s, 3s, 5s, 8s, 10s, 12s, 15s. Taking into account production efficiency, the heat treatment time can be selected as 1s-10s.

[0075] In some embodiments, the process conditions of the corona treatment include: a corona power of 50 kW to 100 kW and a line speed of 50 m / min to 300 m / min. It is understood that the corona power includes but is not limited to: 50 kW, 60 kW, 70 kW, 80 kW, 90 kW, 100 kW; the line speed includes but is not limited to: 50 m / min, 100 m / min, 150 m / min, 200 m / min, 250 m / min, 300 m / min.

[0076] In some embodiments, the method further includes preheating the polypropylene film intermediate before corona treatment. Optionally, the preheating temperature includes a preheating temperature of 25°C to 55°C. Preheating temperatures include, but are not limited to, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, and 55°C.

[0077] In some embodiments, before corona treatment of the polypropylene film intermediate, the method further includes preheating the polypropylene film intermediate, and the process conditions of the preheating treatment include a preheating temperature of 25° C. to 55° C. It is understood that the preheating temperature includes but is not limited to 25° C., 30° C., 35° C., 40° C., 45° C., 50° C., and 55° C.

[0078] In some embodiments, the polypropylene film has a thickness of 1 μm to 20 μm. Taking into account the application requirements of the composite current collector, while also considering the difficulty and cost of the preparation process, the thickness of the polypropylene film is 1 μm to 20 μm.

[0080] In the above-mentioned polypropylene film, by controlling the content of the additive containing polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex in the raw material within a reasonable range, the crystallization of polypropylene can be promoted, so that the crystallinity of the polypropylene film is within a certain range, thereby improving the storage stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film and realizing the stable preparation of the composite current collector with the polypropylene film as the base film.

[0081] In some embodiments, the additive further comprises a polymer salt, and the mass ratio of the polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex to the polymer salt is (0.1-5):1. This can further enhance the surface adhesion and storage stability of the polypropylene film. It is understood that the mass ratio of the two includes, but is not limited to, 0.1:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, and 5:1.

[0082] In some embodiments, the crystallinity y of the polypropylene film and the mass ratio x of the polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex and the polymer salt satisfy the following conditions: 0.82x 3 -10.4x 2+32x+36.9≤y≤80%. The crystallinity of the polypropylene film and the mass ratio of the polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex to the polymer salt meet the above conditions, which can further improve the storage stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film. Optionally, x=0.1-5.

The additives are sodium polyacrylate (manufacturer: Sigma-Aldrich, CAS No.: 9003-04-7) and a polyacrylic acid-zinc ion complex. The weight ratio of the polyacrylic acid-zinc ion complex to the sodium polyacrylate is 1:10.

After filtration, the reaction product is repeatedly washed with pure water to remove excess zinc chloride (ZnCl2). After washing, the reaction product is placed in an 80°C oven to dry to obtain the polyacrylic acid-zinc ion complex.

The electroplating solution temperature was 25°C, and the average cathode current density was 2 A / dm 2 , electroplating treatment for 5 minutes.

[0114] (2.2) Preparation of a Protective Layer: After electroplating, the plated film was rinsed in a clean water tank. A surface protective layer was then prepared in a tank containing a 5g / L potassium dichromate aqueous solution at 25°C for 25 seconds. The film was then rinsed again in a clean water tank. The washed film was then dried in an oven at 65°C to obtain a composite current collector with a total thickness of 1.2 μm for the copper metal layer and protective layer.

[0186] Performance Testing

[0187] (1) Crystallinity: The crystallinity was tested using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) method. Specifically, according to the DSC instrument requirements, an appropriate amount of the polypropylene film prepared in the present application was taken and tested under the following conditions: first, the temperature was raised from 30°C to 200°C at a rate of 10°C / min, then kept at 200°C for 3 minutes, and finally, the temperature was lowered from 200°C to 30°C at a rate of 10°C / min. The DSC curve test was performed, and the melting enthalpy (ΔH f ), and the crystallinity was calculated according to the following formula.

[0188] Xc=△H f / △H f c ×100%

[0189] Among them, Xc is the crystallinity, △H f c It is the melting enthalpy of PP in the fully crystalline state (taken as 209 J / g).

[0190] (2) Surface Tension: The initial surface tension and surface tension after one month of storage of the polypropylene films prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were measured in accordance with GB / T 14216-2008. The rate of change in surface tension of the polypropylene film before and after storage = (initial surface tension of the polypropylene film prepared in step (1.7) - surface tension of the polypropylene film prepared in step (1.7) after one month of storage) / initial surface tension of the polypropylene film prepared in step (1.7) × 100%.

[0191] (3) Tensile strength of polypropylene film: Samples were taken longitudinally from the prepared polypropylene film roll, and the tensile strength of the film was tested according to the national standard GB / T 1040.3-2006.

[0192] (4) Adhesion between the polypropylene film and the metal layer in the composite current collector: A layer of Permacel P-94 double-sided tape was adhered to a 1 mm thick aluminum foil, the composite current collector was adhered on top of the double-sided tape, and a layer of ethylene acrylic acid copolymer film (DuPont Nurcel0903, thickness of 50 μm) was covered on the composite current collector. 5 N / m 2 The sample was hot-pressed at 120°C for 10 seconds, cooled to room temperature, and cut into 150mm x 15mm strips. Finally, the ethylene acrylic acid copolymer film strip was fixed to the upper fixture of the tensile testing machine, and the remaining film strip was fixed to the lower fixture. After the two were fixed, the metal layer was peeled off from the polypropylene film at an angle of 180° and a speed of 100mm / min to test the peel force, that is, the adhesion between the polypropylene film and the metal layer.

[0193] (5) Defective rate caused by film breakage: The defective rate is the percentage of the length of the polypropylene film caused by film breakage to the total length of the prepared polypropylene film.

[0194] Table 1 Performance test results

[0195] From the data in Table 1, we can see that

[0196] ① It can be seen from Examples 1-10, Comparative Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 5 that adding a certain amount of polyacrylate and polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex or only adding a certain amount of polyacrylic acid-metal ion complex during the preparation of the polypropylene film and controlling the crystallinity of the polypropylene film within a certain range can reduce the rate of change of the surface tension of the polypropylene film during the placement process, and improve the adhesion between the metal layer and the base film of the composite current collector prepared with the placed polypropylene film as the base film.

[0197] ② Comparing Examples 1-3, 1-2, and 5, and comparing Example 28 with Comparative Examples 3-5, it can be seen that controlling the content of the additive in the raw material to 0.05%-1% can reduce the rate of change of the surface tension of the polypropylene film before and after placement, thereby improving the storage stability of the surface adhesion performance of the polypropylene film, and improving the bonding force between the polypropylene film and the metal layer (e.g., copper metal layer or aluminum metal layer). In addition, by increasing the content of the additive, the change in the surface tension of the polypropylene film during placement first decreases and then increases, the tensile strength first increases and then decreases, and the bonding force between the metal layer and the base film of the composite current collector prepared with the placed polypropylene film as the base film first increases and then decreases.

[0198] ③ From Examples 1 and 13-16, it can be seen that: the longitudinal stretching ratio of the polypropylene film is within a certain range, the rate of change of the surface tension of the polypropylene film during the placement process is low, the tensile strength is high, and the metal layer of the composite current collector prepared with the placed polypropylene film as the base film has a high bonding force with the base film.

[0199] ④ From Examples 1 and 17-20, it can be seen that: as the heat treatment temperature is increased, the surface tension of the polypropylene film during the placement process first decreases and then increases, the tensile strength first increases and then decreases, and the adhesion between the metal layer of the composite current collector prepared with the placed polypropylene film as the base film and the base film first increases and then decreases.

[0200] ⑤ From Examples 1 and 21-23, it can be seen that: by increasing the heat treatment time, the rate of change of the surface tension of the polypropylene film during the placement process decreases, the tensile strength increases, and the adhesion between the metal layer of the composite current collector prepared with the placed polypropylene film as the base film and the base film increases.

[0201] ⑥ It can be seen from Examples 1 and 24-27 that: based on Example 1, improving the corona process (for example, improving the preheating temperature before corona treatment, the power of corona treatment, etc.) can further promote the increase in the adhesion between the metal layer of the prepared composite current collector and the base film.
