The present invention discloses a
flame-retardant
lithium battery separator and a preparation method thereof, relating to the technical field of battery separators. When preparing the
flame-retardant
lithium battery separator of the present invention, hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and
daidzein are polymerized and coated on the surface of
phase change microcapsules to obtain modified
phase change microcapsules; 1,7-dichloro-1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octamethyltetrasiloxane and
phenolphthalein are polymerized and grown on pretreated bamboo
powder to obtain pre-modified bamboo
powder; the pre-modified bamboo
powder and
sodium hydroxide are reacted to obtain modified bamboo powder;
polypropylene and N,N-dimethylallylamine are reacted to obtain pre-modified
polypropylene; the pre-modified
polypropylene and 3-chloro-1-
propanethiol are reacted to obtain modified polypropylene; the modified polypropylene, modified
phase change microcapsules, modified bamboo powder and
azobisisobutyronitrile are formulated into a
spinning solution, and the
flame-retardant
lithium battery separator is prepared by
electrospinning. The flame-retardant
lithium battery separator prepared by the present invention has excellent flame retardancy,
thermal stability,
ionic conductivity and mechanical properties.
