[0090] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to various electric devices using secondary battery cells and battery devices, such as, but not limited to, mobile devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc.), electric vehicles (such as pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric golf carts, electric trucks, etc.), electric trains, ships and satellites, energy storage systems, etc. The secondary battery cells and battery devices are used to store or provide electric energy.

[0092] In the context of the present disclosure, the "organic particles" mainly play a role in improving the heat resistance in the porous coating of the separator film, and almost have no adhesion.
[0093] The separator film is an important component for supporting the secondary battery cell to complete the electrochemical process of charging and discharging. The commonly used separator film is mostly a polyolefin film. However, the polyolefin film has poor heat resistance and is easy to soften or melt at high temperature, which may cause short circuit of the secondary battery cell. In order to improve the heat resistance of the separator film, a porous coating layer is usually coated on the separator film to improve the heat resistance of the separator film. Inorganic particles such as boehmite and aluminum oxide are currently commonly used heat-resistant fillers. However, the density of such heat-resistant fillers is relatively large, and the mass is large under the same packing volume, which affects the energy density of the secondary battery cell.
[0094] Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a separator film used in a secondary battery cell, which can make the secondary battery cell have high energy density and high reliability.
[0095] The separator film of the present disclosure includes a porous base film and a porous coating layer located on at least one side of the porous base film. The porous coating layer includes organic particles, and the organic particles include first organic particles and second organic particles. The first organic particles and the second organic particles both have a glass transition temperature T g , and the glass transition temperature T g of the first organic particles is different from the glass transition temperature T g of the second organic particles; or the first organic particles have a glass transition temperature Tg Furthermore, the second organic particle does not have a glass transition temperature T below 300°C. g .
[0096] Both the porous base membrane and the porous coating have a porous structure, which gives the separator good air permeability and facilitates the passage of ions.
[0097] The first and second organic particles have low densities, which allows the secondary battery cell using the separator of this disclosure to have a higher energy density.
[0098] By making the porous coating of the separator simultaneously include T g Different first organic particles and second organic particles, wherein T g Large organic particles or those without T g Organic particles can improve the overall heat resistance of the porous coating, reduce the overall thermal shrinkage of the separator, and improve the reliability of the secondary battery cell. Meanwhile, during the charging and discharging process of the secondary battery cell, abnormal environmental factors and internal factors, such as an increase in byproducts, may cause an abnormal rise in the internal temperature of the secondary battery cell. By including T in the porous coating of the separator... g Different first and second organic particles reach a temperature of T inside the secondary battery cell. g At the glass transition temperature of small organic particles, under the combined effects of the expansion force of the electrode assembly and high temperature, the organic particles will deform and flatten. This can, to a certain extent, hinder ion transport between the positive and negative electrodes and prevent the internal temperature of the secondary battery cell from rising continuously. In this way, the thermal reliability of the secondary battery cell can be improved and the risk of thermal runaway of the secondary battery cell can be reduced.
[0099] Therefore, the separator disclosed herein enables secondary battery cells to possess both high energy density and high reliability.
