Technical field
The present invention relates to lithium ion battery separator technical fields, and in particular to a kind of diaphragm for lithium ion battery and its preparation
Method.
Background technique
Lithium ion battery is mainly made of positive electrode, negative electrode material, diaphragm and electrolyte etc., and diaphragm is its core key
One of material.The performance of diaphragm determines the interfacial structure of battery, internal resistance etc., directly affects capacity, circulation and the safety of battery
Performance, the diaphragm haveing excellent performance play an important role the comprehensive performance for improving battery.The main function of diaphragm is to make battery
Positive and negative electrode separate, prevent the two poles of the earth contact and it is short-circuit, additionally have the function of electrolyte ion capable of being made to pass through.However,
While applying to fields such as energy storage, electric cars, the safety problem showed can not be ignored lithium ion battery.One side
Face, when battery is overcharging, can occur internal expansion under the states such as over-discharge and high temperature, porous poly- third used in usual lithium ion battery
Alkene (PP), polyethylene (PE) diaphragm retracts may cause Local Cracking, and certain thermal runaway points expand to form integral battery thermal runaway,
Safety problems extremely easy to cause fire etc..On the other hand, in high power charging-discharging overcharges, lithium ion shuttles battery in the electrolytic solution
Lithium easily is analysed in negative terminal surface in conductive process, analysis Li dendrite can penetrate diaphragm and cause battery plus-negative plate directly to contact to occur short
Road generates security risk.Therefore, the diaphragm pair of high mechanical strength and puncture strength, high ionic conductivity, high broken film temperature is studied
The safety for improving lithium ion battery is particularly important.
Nanometer scale ceramics powder is coated uniformly in porous PP or PE diaphragm, effect mainly improves the heat-resisting receipts of diaphragm
Contracting prevents diaphragm retracts from causing large area short-circuit.In addition, ceramic pyroconductivity is low, it can prevent certain heat in battery from losing
Control point, which expands, forms whole thermal runaway.For PP or PE diaphragm after coated ceramic thin layer, the tensile strength of diaphragm and puncture are strong
Degree significantly improves.
Other than improving the security performance of battery, for the porous ceramics thin layer high for chemical stability, advantage is also
There is the following aspects:
(1) porous ceramics thin layer maintains higher ionic conductivity and high-lithium ion transport coefficient, there is no with it is organic
The chemical side reactions of electrolyte;
(2) porous ceramics thin layer has the function of good imbibition liquid storage, reduces interfacial reaction impedance, improves battery

As the Chinese patent literature of Publication No. CN105514328A disclose a kind of lithium ion battery ceramic diaphragm and
Preparation method, wherein comprising steps of a, using nanoporous SiO2, porous Al2O3Or mixtures thereof be used as ceramic raw material, with
Binder and solvent are mixed, and are prepared into uniform slurry using mechanical stirring mode;B, slurry is coated uniformly on diaphragm
On, then in 70~90 DEG C of dry 2h~for 24 hours, the ceramic diaphragm with a thickness of 1~10 μm can be obtained.
In the prior art, the higher oxide of hardness such as SiO is generallyd use2Or Al2O3, control granular materials size is such as
Nanosizing constructs porous structure by the plane accumulation of nano particle.However granular material will realize continuous porous knot
Structure needs more coated weight, thus can not prepare ultra-thin ceramic diaphragm.The higher oxide of hardness is easy in charge and discharge simultaneously
The damage of paired electrode is made in the process.
