A kind of lithium ion battery multilayer composite membrane based on nonwoven fabrics and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of lithium ion, be specifically related to a kind of lithium ion battery multilayer composite membrane based on nonwoven fabrics and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
The major function of lithium ion battery septation is isolation both positive and negative polarity and stops electronics to pass, and lithium ion can be allowed to pass through simultaneously, thus in charge and discharge process, complete the fast transport of lithium ion between both positive and negative polarity.The quality of membrane properties directly affects the quality of the internal resistance of cell, discharge capacity, service life cycle and battery safety.Polyolefine material has excellent mechanical property, chemical stability and relatively inexpensive feature, just be used widely at the lithium battery research and development initial stage, and become the main flow direction of lithium electric separator, as single-layer polypropylene (PP) microporous barrier, monolayer polyethylene (PE) microporous barrier and three layers of PP/PE/PP composite membrane.This kind of barrier film is when temperature rises to a certain degree, and micropore can close, and interrupts electrochemistry process in time, prevents thermal runaway.If but temperature raises further, barrier film will melt, and causes internal short-circuit of battery, and then causes battery to disintegrate or blast.In addition, polyolefin parent electrolyte ability, keeps electrolyte scarce capacity, causes the poor performance such as battery cycle life, high current charge-discharge, and these shortcomings limit its use at power energy-storage battery.
Nonwoven fabrics barrier film is the non-woven structure film that polymer fiber material is formed by stacking mode.Because it has three-D pore structure, effectively can avoid the short circuit phenomenon because acupuncture causes and improve protecting liquid rate; Have in addition high temperature resistant, porosity is high, with the advantage such as compatibility of electrolyte is good, be subject to lithium battery industry in recent years and more and more paid close attention to.But the pore-size distribution of nonwoven fabrics barrier film is wider, there is a certain proportion of macropore to exist, directly use as lithium ion battery separator and may cause local big current and dendritic growth; And the mechanical strength of nonwoven fabrics is poor, cannot at increasingly automated production equipment as sutomatic winding machine normally use, have a strong impact on its application in field of lithium ion battery.
Inorganic nanoparticles or inorganic nanoparticles, in the method for nonwoven fabrics membrane surface coated ceramic particle, are coated on the one-sided of nonwoven fabrics barrier film or both sides improving the stability of barrier film with organic high molecular polymer by the patent disclosure such as CN103928649, CN103618056.But this kind of composite diaphragm does not have closed pore function, electrochemistry process can not be interrupted in time when temperature rises, constant temperature cannot be stoped to rise, therefore still there is certain potential safety hazard.
CN103887464A discloses the method using thermoplastic granulates to fill nonwoven fabrics membrane pore size, although this kind of structure has closed pore performance, when temperature is too high, thermoplastic granulates and nonwoven fabrics barrier film occur to melt and just lose safety protection function.

Interpretation of result:
Analyzed from Electrochemical results, three layers of composite diaphragm cycle performance in embodiment are obviously better than the two-layer separator being only coated with pottery in comparative example, want, obviously more than two-layer separator, to be conducive to the maintenance of capacity this is because liquid measure protected by the electrolyte of three layers of barrier film.
Gas permeability is tested:
Barrier film prepared by embodiment and comparative example is placed in respectively 0.5h under room temperature, 120 DEG C, 160 DEG C conditions, then measure its air permeability (Gurley value, unit: sec/100mL), result is as shown in table 2:
Table 2
"-" in table 2 represents that numerical value is very large, is difficult to measure.
Interpretation of result:
From air permeability measurement result, barrier film prepared by embodiment all shows closed pore function under condition of different temperatures, causes gas cannot be through, has blocked the transmission of lithium ion, and then has stopped electrochemical reaction process, stoped temperature to rise further.Even and if barrier film prepared by comparative example still shows good gas permeability under the high temperature conditions, effectively can not block lithium ion transport, constant temperature likely can be caused to rise, and then harm lithium ion battery safety.
