The application relates to the technical field of batteries, and discloses a three-layer composite diaphragm and a preparation method thereof. The three-layer composite diaphragm comprises three
layers which are sequentially compounded from inside to outside, namely a
polyimide base layer, a thermal response layer and an
ion sieving functional layer. The thermal response layer of the application takes
nano silicon dioxide as a rigid skeleton, and a temperature-sensitive
polymer poly (N-
isopropyl acrylamide) is grafted on the surface to form a core-shell structure. The
porosity is high at low temperature, and the
ion conductivity is high. With the increase of temperature, PNIPAM shrinks due to
dehydration, the pores are quickly closed,
ion transmission is blocked to prevent
thermal runaway. In addition, the
polyimide base layer provides excellent mechanical tensile strength, the ion sieving layer inhibits
polysulfide shuttling and adsorbs HF in the
electrolyte, and the three
layers jointly act to prolong the service life of the battery and improve the safety.
