A kind of preparation method of lithium battery diaphragm
Technical field
The invention belongs to polymer Li-ion battery technical field more particularly to a kind of forming the net containing ceramic fillers
The preparation method of the diaphragm of network shape PVDF coatings.
Background technology
It is influenced by economic development and population growth, people are continuously increased the consumption figure of the disposable energy, are with oil
The fossil resource of representative is increasingly reduced, and the automobile using oil as raw material is also brought living point to people while facility
The problems such as environmental pollution, greenhouse effects.After since twentieth century leaf, the mankind just begin look for clean alternative energy source with
And energy storage device.
Lithium ion battery has safe and reliable and energy due to the high characteristic of small, light-weight, energy density
The advantages that fast charging and discharging, becomes the hot spot of novel power supply technical research in recent years.Diaphragm in lithium ion battery has partition
Positive/negative plate, the effect for simultaneously turning on lithium ion are to prepare a kind of important material of lithium ion battery.It is usually used in preparing lithium battery
The material of diaphragm has polyolefin, polyimides, non-woven fabrics etc., and the above material is prepared by coating organic or inorganic coating
The composite material arrived.These materials have porous structure and fabulous electrolyte wellability, and the electrolyte being stored in diaphragm can
Carrier as lithium ion transport.During lithium ion battery use, with the progress of cycle, lithium ion can constantly be disappeared
Consumption, when electrolyte content, which is depleted to, to maintain lithium ion normally to move about, performance of lithium ion battery will deteriorate, so as to cause not
It can normal charge and discharge.Therefore selection Electolyte-absorptive it is good and store electrolyte more than diaphragm be conducive to extend battery use the longevity
Life.
In field of lithium ion battery, it can be divided into hard shell packaging lithium ion battery according to manner of packing and soft shell packs lithium ion
Battery.Hard shell battery refers mainly to the larger box hat or aluminum-shell battery of hardness, and hard shell battery, which has, processes simple, the fixed spy of shape
Point.Soft shell battery refer to use the seal-packed battery of plastic-aluminum packaging film, soft shell battery have appearance it is flexible and changeable, it is light-weight,
The good feature of battery security.Since smart mobile phone, tablet computer and vehicle mounted dynamic battery are just towards thin, wide, light direction
Development, this requires matching lithium ion batteries towards thinner, wider, lighter direction design, and must use Soft Roll
The potting mode of dress improves the design advantage of battery.But flexible-packed battery is influenced by packaging material, there are the drawbacks of just
It is that battery deformation of feeling like jelly easily occurs, causes the deterioration of battery performance.In order to improve the hardness of battery, that takes at present generally arranges
Apply is to coat one layer of PVDF (vinylidene fluoride homopolymer) in membrane surface, but coat PVDF in membrane surface so that diaphragm is being met
It is easily breakdown when to pole piece or foreign matter burr, cause battery performance to deteriorate.
In order to enhance the breakdown characteristics of battery, the prior art coats one layer by the way of intaglio printing in membrane surface
2~6 μm of ceramics or the mixture of ceramics and PVDF, prepare diaphragm in this way, good with pole piece to reach diaphragm
Cementability, multiple coating processes need to be carried out to diaphragm, cost is higher;And the coating method of intaglio printing requires to tense diaphragm
Tension it is bigger, therefore in coating procedure, the diaphragm thin to diaphragm, especially thickness be easy to cause stronger stretcher strain,
To destroy diaphragm, the deterioration of cycle performance of battery is caused.
