AI Technical Summary
The aqueous coating of existing separators is prone to peeling off when wetted by electrolyte, making it impossible to effectively avoid the risk of short circuit in secondary batteries. In addition, polyolefin materials have a low heat distortion temperature, resulting in severe thermal shrinkage and causing short circuits.
A composite coating structure is adopted, wherein the dry adhesive force F1 between the first coating and the substrate is less than the dry adhesive force F2 between the second coating and the positive electrode (F2/F1≥1.0). The composite coating is completely transferred to the surface of the positive electrode through hot pressing and can still be maintained after being wetted by the electrolyte. The coating materials include semi-solid materials, ion-conducting materials and heat-resistant materials.
It improves the adhesion and ionic conductivity of the coating, reduces the amount of electrolyte used, reduces the risk of fire in secondary batteries, ensures that the coating does not peel off at high temperatures, prevents short circuits between positive and negative electrodes, and improves battery safety.

Description
Coating transfer separator and preparation method and application thereof
[0001] Cross-reference to related applications
[0002] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. CN202411285986.1, filed on September 13, 2024, and entitled "Coating transfer separator and preparation method and application thereof", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The present application belongs to the technical field of separator materials, and specifically relates to a coating transfer separator and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0004] With the rapid development of secondary battery technology, the safety characteristics of secondary batteries are increasingly valued, and short circuit of the battery is one of the important reasons for battery failure, fire and even explosion. As one of the important components of secondary batteries, the separator not only prevents the direct contact of the positive and negative plates inside the battery, thereby avoiding the occurrence of short circuit phenomenon, but also allows ions to move between the positive and negative electrodes to realize the charging and discharging process of the battery. At the same time, the material, porosity and thermal stability of the separator have a direct impact on the electrochemical performance and safety of the secondary battery.
[0005] At present, the main raw material of the base film in the separator is polyethylene or polypropylene. The thermal deformation temperature of the above polyolefin material is low, and when the temperature is too high, the base film is easy to shrink, which eventually causes the thermal shrinkage of the separator to be serious, inducing the short circuit of the positive and negative electrodes in the secondary battery, and further causing the thermal runaway phenomenon of the secondary battery. In order to solve the above problems, researchers usually coat a layer of high-temperature resistant coating material on the surface of the separator, which can improve the thermal shrinkage performance of the separator, and at the same time can improve the puncture strength of the separator to prevent lithium dendrite from being pierced, thereby improving the safety of the secondary battery. However, although the above coating separator disclosed in the prior art can reduce the short circuit risk of the secondary battery to a certain extent, the coating is mostly water-based. Since the separator itself has lipophilicity, water-based coating may cause the uniformity and adhesion of the product to decrease, thereby affecting the quality of the water-based coating and the performance of the battery. In addition, the water-based coating is easy to fall off under the wetting of the electrolyte, so the short circuit risk of the secondary battery cannot be avoided.
[0006] Therefore, in the art, there is an urgent need to develop a separator material to solve the above technical problems.
[0007] SUMMARY
[0008] Therefore, the present application aims to provide a coating transfer separator, a preparation method and application thereof. The coating transfer separator provided by the present application not only has good adhesion, but also the second oil-based coating can be completely transferred to the surface of the positive electrode sheet and can remain intact on the surface of the positive electrode sheet after being soaked in electrolyte, thereby improving the short circuit risk of the secondary battery.
[0009] In a first aspect, the present application provides a coating transfer separator, comprising a substrate and a composite coating arranged on at least one side of the substrate, wherein the composite coating comprises a first coating and a second coating arranged on the surface of the first coating, and the composite coating can be transferred to the surface of the positive electrode sheet after pressing treatment.
[0010] The dry adhesion between the first coating and the substrate is F1, and the dry adhesion between the second coating and the positive electrode sheet is F2, and the relationship between F1 and F2 satisfies F2 / F1≥1.0, for example, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.
[0011] It should be particularly noted that the dry adhesion refers to the adhesion obtained in a dry state, i.e., without using liquid medium. The test conditions of the dry adhesion include testing according to the GB / T363363-2018 standard. In addition, the first coating is arranged on the surface of at least one side of the substrate, and the second coating is arranged on the surface of the first coating away from the substrate.
[0012] Beneficial effects: The coating transfer separator provided by the present application has good adhesion, and further regulates the dry adhesion between the first coating and the substrate and the dry adhesion between the second coating and the positive electrode sheet, so that the adhesion of the second coating is improved, and the adhesion of the first coating is reduced, so that the composite coating can be completely transferred to the surface of the positive electrode sheet after heat pressing treatment, and the second coating can remain intact on the surface of the positive electrode sheet after being soaked in electrolyte. Therefore, even if the separator shrinks at high temperature, the secondary battery will not short circuit due to direct contact between the positive and negative electrodes, thereby improving the safety performance of the secondary battery. Compared with the water-based coating separator disclosed in the prior art, the second oil-based coating provided by the present application has higher adhesion and is not easy to fall off after being soaked in electrolyte, so it can be well attached to the surface of the positive electrode sheet. In addition, the composite coating provided by the present application has high ionic conductivity, which can reduce the electrolyte injection amount, thereby reducing the fire risk of the secondary battery.
[0013] In an alternative embodiment, the relationship between F1 and F2 satisfies: 1.4≤F2 / F1≤8.0, for example, it can be 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 7.8, etc.
[0014] Beneficial effects: By regulating the relationship between F1 and F2, the composite coating can be transferred to the surface of the positive electrode sheet after hot pressing, and after the composite coating is transferred to the surface of the positive electrode sheet, the composite coating can still remain on the surface of the positive electrode sheet even in the case of serious shrinkage of the separator at high temperature, thereby preventing the direct contact and short circuit of the positive and negative electrodes, and improving the safety performance of the secondary battery.

[0018] Beneficial effects: By regulating the relationship between H1, H2 and H3, the thermal shrinkage rate of the coating transfer separator at high temperature is small, thereby further improving the safety performance of the secondary battery.

[0106] Test conditions
[0107] The coating transfer separators provided by embodiment 1 and the prior art were assembled into lithium ion batteries and tested for performance, and the test method was as follows:
[0108] The coating transfer separator provided by the prior art and the coating transfer separator of Example 1 were transferred to the negative electrode sheet by hot-rolling to form a continuous coating transfer separator-negative electrode sheet-coating transfer separator sandwich structure composite sheet, and the continuous composite sheet was cut into independent composite units by a hot cutter, wherein the composite temperature was 95°C, the composite pressure was 45 MPa, the composite efficiency was 60%, and the hot cutter temperature was 230°C. Finally, the composite units and the positive electrode sheet were stacked into a cell group, and the cell group was subjected to hot-pressing treatment at 100°C. The cell group was disassembled after the hot-pressing treatment to observe the transfer of the composite coating to the surface of the positive electrode sheet. One cell group was immersed in electrolyte for 24 hours, and the cell group was disassembled to observe the transfer of the coating to the surface of the positive electrode sheet. The water-based gel layer separator with the same structure in the prior art was used as a comparison to verify the test results, as shown in Table 1.
[0109] Table 1
[0110] As can be seen from Table 1, the coating of the water-based coating transfer separator used in the prior art and the oil-based coating transfer separator provided by the present application can be completely transferred to the surface of the positive electrode sheet after hot-pressing treatment. However, only the second coating of the oil-based coating transfer separator provided by the present application can be completely retained on the surface of the positive electrode sheet after the cell group is immersed in electrolyte for 24 hours, and no water-based separator coating can be observed on the surface of the positive electrode sheet. This further indicates that the wet adhesion effect of the oil-based coating transfer separator provided by the present application is better than that of the water-based coating separator, and meets the transfer requirements.
[0111] The lithium ion battery obtained after hot-pressing treatment was placed in an oven for high-temperature baking test. The battery was first tested for short circuit after baking, and then disassembled to observe the shrinkage of the separator. The water-based coating transfer separator battery was used as a comparison to verify the test results, as shown in Table 2.
[0112] Table 2
[0113] As can be seen from Table 2, after baking at 150°C, 180°C and 200°C for 1 hour, the water-based coating transfer separator used in the prior art has a serious thermal shrinkage phenomenon, while the oil-based coating transfer separator provided by the present application only has a slight shrinkage. Moreover, the coating of the oil-based transfer separator can still be completely retained on the surface of the positive electrode sheet after being wetted by the electrolyte, so the lithium ion battery does not have a short circuit. This further indicates that the oil-based coating transfer separator provided by the present application has better safety characteristics than the water-based coating transfer separator.
[0114] Although embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made thereto without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the claims and their equivalents. Industrial applicability
[0115] The coating transfer separator provided by the application has good adhesion, and further regulates the dry adhesion between the first coating and the substrate and the dry adhesion between the second coating and the positive electrode sheet, so that the adhesion of the second coating is improved, and the adhesion of the first coating is reduced, so that after heat pressing treatment, the composite coating can be completely transferred to the surface of the positive electrode sheet, and after soaking in electrolyte, the second coating can still be completely retained on the surface of the positive electrode sheet. Therefore, even if the separator shrinks at high temperature, the secondary battery will not short circuit due to the direct contact between the positive and negative electrodes, thereby improving the safety performance of the secondary battery.
