Summary of the invention
In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of solution barrier film absorbent, solve the lithium ion battery separator of diaphragm closed pore security performance simultaneously.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of preparation method of lithium ion battery separator.
For addressing the above problem, the technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows:
A kind of lithium ion battery separator, it comprises sandwich diaphragm, by High molecular weight polyethylene layer/high-density polyethylene layer/High molecular weight polyethylene layer, formed, described High molecular weight polyethylene layer is 15~80 by the degree of branching, molecular weight is 50~3,000,000 High molecular weight polyethylene composition, described high-density polyethylene layer is 2~20 by the degree of branching, and molecular weight is 20~500,000 high density polyethylene (HDPE) composition.
The degree of branching is the branched carbon atomicity that 1000 carbon atoms contain.The upper and lower two-layer employing High molecular weight polyethylene of this lithium ion battery separator, the degree of branching is 15~80, molecular weight is 50~3,000,000, and good intensity and heat-shrinkable are provided, and has improved lyophily performance.Preferably, the degree of branching of described High molecular weight polyethylene layer is 40~60.Intermediate layer adopts high density polyethylene (HDPE), and the degree of branching is 2~20, and molecular weight is 20~500,000, and less aperture can be provided, and improves ion by performance, and closed pore temperature is low, and closed pore speed is fast.
The High molecular weight polyethylene of layer structure must have>15 the degree of branching, the high density polyethylene (HDPE) in intermediate layer must have<20 the degree of branching.Battery diaphragm of the present invention requires polyolefine material to have the specific degree of branching, hinders greatly between the large polyethylene molecule of the degree of branching, and in thermic phase separation, major part has kept original frame structure, makes the membrane pore size of preparation larger, and thermal contraction is less; And between the little polyethylene molecule of the degree of branching, hinder littlely, when the cooling generation thermic of extrudate is separated, polyethylene molecule spacing is dwindled, so aperture structure originally shrinks, forms fine pore structure.
As further technical scheme of the present invention, the porosity of described High molecular weight polyethylene layer is greater than 45%, and the porosity of described high-density polyethylene layer is 30~45%.
As further technical scheme of the present invention, the average pore diameter of described High molecular weight polyethylene layer is 0.15~0.3 μ m, and the average pore diameter of described high-density polyethylene layer is 0.02~0.15 μ m.
Preferably, the average pore diameter of described High molecular weight polyethylene layer is 0.2~0.25 μ m, and the average pore diameter of described high-density polyethylene layer is 0.04~0.08 μ m.
Battery diaphragm of the present invention intermediate layer has less aperture, closed aperture in time when high-temperature test, and close current, improves the security performance of battery.In addition, because aperture is less, there is good capillary imbibition ability, can improve the wetting velocity of barrier film.Battery diaphragm skin of the present invention has larger aperture and less thermal contraction, be conducive to reduce the contact angle of electrolyte, the wetting property that improves barrier film has less thermal contraction simultaneously, prevents that barrier film is shunk by thermal process septation and causes battery pole piece directly to contact.
If the aperture of battery diaphragm surpasses 0.3 μ m, easily make the metal particle of positive and negative pole material through barrier film, do not have the buffer action of barrier film.If aperture is less than 0.02 μ m, easily make the wetting property variation of barrier film, the larger ion transmission performance that affects battery, the power-performance that macro manifestations is battery is poor.The present invention is through research discovery, if aperture surpasses 0.3 μ m, battery is very easy to smolder on fire when 130 ℃ of thermal shocks of high temperature, thereby affects the security performance of battery diaphragm.The thermal shock safety feature test of 130 ℃ is the rigid requirement of battery industry, and it is mainly because aperture is excessive that this phenomenon occurs, the closed performance failure of polyethylene micropore, and battery continues to heat up and causes barrier film to melt broken and be short-circuited.
As further technical scheme of the present invention, the gross thickness of described battery diaphragm is 12~40 μ m, and in order to keep good closed pore performance, the thickness of described high-density polyethylene layer is more than or equal to 3 μ m and is less than or equal to 2/3 of gross thickness.The thickness of battery diaphragm is excessive, will cause the battery plus-negative plate material of unit volume to reduce, and reduces the capacity of battery.

(4) masking: resulting three-decker melt is sent into biaxial orientation stretching machine, under 100~140 ℃ of conditions, carry out bi-directional synchronization stretching or step drawing and become film;
(5) extraction: use extractant extraction to remove the paraffin oil of film surface;
(6) sizing: under 100~140 ℃ of conditions, carry out thermal finalization, obtain lithium ion battery separator.
As further technical scheme of the present invention, the degree of branching of described High molecular weight polyethylene is 15~80, and molecular weight is 50~3,000,000; The degree of branching of described high density polyethylene (HDPE) is 2~20, and molecular weight is 20~500,000.

Compared to existing technology, beneficial effect of the present invention is:
1) the outer field aperture of the present invention is larger, contribute to like this to improve the lyophily performance of barrier film and electrolyte in the situation that material is constant, and the fine pore of internal layer can help electrolyte to form capillarity attraction in barrier film, aperture is less, capillarity attraction is larger, contributes to like this electrolyte parent's profit barrier film fast.
2) because outer field aperture is larger, fiber is also thicker, and percent thermal shrinkage is just less, and the aperture of internal layer is little, and in battery thermal shock process, easily aperture is closed, and close current prevents the short circuit blast of battery, improves security performance.
3) barrier film of the present invention can solve barrier film absorbent, can solve cell safety unfailing performance again, and technique of the present invention is simple, is easy to industrialization.
4) the present invention compares with existing barrier film production technology, and process conditions are similar, but the physicochemical properties such as the percent thermal shrinkage of product, closed pore temperature are better.
