Background
A secondary battery, also called a rechargeable battery, is a battery that can be continuously used by activating an active material by charging after discharge. The secondary battery mainly includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator and an electrolyte between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. Wherein the electrolyte is used for providing a medium for ion exchange; the separator serves to separate the positive and negative electrodes to prevent the positive and negative electrodes from contacting to cause a short circuit while ensuring the passage of ions. At present, electrolytes of secondary batteries are mainly organic electrolytes, such as carbonate electrolytes. The organic electrolyte can be burnt at a certain temperature, so that the secondary battery can be burnt after the internal temperature of the secondary battery reaches the burning temperature of the organic electrolyte due to abuse of the secondary battery and the like, and the personal and property safety of a user is seriously threatened. Therefore, it is necessary to add a flame retardant material to the secondary battery to prevent the secondary battery from burning.
A flame retardant material for a secondary battery is provided in the related art, and includes a flame retardant and a protective layer coated outside the flame retardant. The protective layer is mainly an organic polymer layer, an inorganic oxide layer or a composite layer of the organic polymer layer and the inorganic oxide layer. When the internal temperature of the secondary battery exceeds the melting point of the protective layer, the protective layer melts to release the flame retardant, or when the boiling point of the flame retardant is exceeded, the flame retardant vaporizes and is released from the protective layer. The flame retardant is released and then brought into contact with the organic electrolyte, thereby preventing the secondary battery from burning.
The related art has at least the following problems;
when the secondary battery is normally used, the organic electrolyte enters the inside of the protective layer to dissolve the fire retardant, so that the fire retardant enters the organic electrolyte. The flame retardant may affect the performance of the organic electrolyte, and further affect the performance of the secondary battery in a normal use state.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will describe embodiments of the present disclosure in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless defined otherwise, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a flame retardant material 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in fig. 1, the flame retardant material 10 includes:
a body 1 having a plurality of cells X,
a flame retardant 2 filled in at least one of the channels X of the matrix 1,
and a protective layer 3 covering the outside of the base 1.
In the flame retardant material provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the flame retardant 2 is filled in the pore channel X of the substrate 1, and the protective layer 3 is coated outside the substrate 1, so that the flame retardant 2 can be effectively isolated from the external environment through the combined action of the pore channel structure of the substrate 1 and the protective layer 3. When the external environment temperature reaches the boiling point of the flame retardant 2, the flame retardant 2 is gasified and released to the external environment to play a flame retardant role. Based on this, the flame retardant material 10 provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is added to the secondary battery, when the secondary battery normally works, the flame retardant 2 is in a liquid state or a solid state, and under the combined action of the pore structure of the substrate 1 and the protective layer 3, the electrolyte can be effectively prevented from contacting the flame retardant 2, so that the flame retardant 2 is effectively prevented from entering the electrolyte and affecting the performance of the secondary battery when the secondary battery normally works. When the internal temperature of the secondary battery rises due to abuse and other factors and reaches the boiling point of the flame retardant 2, the flame retardant 2 is released to contact with the electrolyte, so that the flame retardant effect is achieved, and the secondary battery is prevented from burning. It can be seen that the flame retardant provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can prevent the secondary battery from burning when the secondary battery is in an abusive state, and does not affect the performance of the secondary battery in a normal use state.
Meanwhile, for the flame retardant material in the related art, since the protective layer is directly coated outside the flame retardant 2, the flame retardant 2 can only be a flame retardant which is solid at normal temperature. In the flame retardant material 10 provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, a substrate for loading the flame retardant 2 is added, so that the flame retardant 2 in the flame retardant material 10 provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can be a liquid flame retardant at normal temperature, and the selection range of the flame retardant is expanded, so that the application range of the flame retardant material provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is wider.
It should be noted that the type of the flame retardant can be selected according to the actual use environment of the flame retardant material 10, for example, the flame retardant 2 is applied to a secondary battery, and the boiling point of the flame retardant 2 is not higher than the combustion temperature of the electrolyte, so as to ensure that the flame retardant 2 can be released in time to play a flame retardant role, thereby preventing the secondary battery from burning.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the ratio of the number of the channels X filled with the flame retardant 2 in the base 1 to the total number of the channels X may be 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more, 90% or more, or 100%.
In the pore channel X filled with the flame retardant 2, the volume of the flame retardant 2 may account for 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more, 90% or more, or 100% of the volume of the pore channel X. In order to enable the flame retardant 2 to be released quickly when the external environment temperature reaches the boiling point of the flame retardant 2, the volume of the flame retardant accounts for less than 50% of the volume of the pore channel, and the flame retardant 2 is located at a position close to the opening of the pore channel.
It should be noted that the duct X has at least one opening, that is, at least one end of the two ends of the duct X is capable of communicating with the outside. For the cell X having two openings, which is filled with the flame retardant 2 at a position near each opening, the total volume of the flame retardant 2 accounts for 50% or less of the volume of the cell.
It can be understood that increasing the number of the channels X filled with the flame retardant 2, decreasing the amount of the flame retardant 2 filled in each channel X, and bringing the flame retardant 2 close to the opening of the channel X is advantageous for improving the flame retardant performance.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the shape of the substrate 1 may be prism (including but not limited to a quadrangular prism, a hexagonal prism, etc.), cylindrical or spherical; the plurality of channels X are parallel to each other and are all parallel to the axis of the base body 1. The plurality of pore canals can be communicated with each other or not. The diameter of the pore channel X may be 100 nm or less, for example, 100 nm, 90 nm, 80 nm, 70 nm, 60 nm, 50 nm, 40 nm, 30 nm, 20 nm, 10 nm, and the like.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the mass ratio of the flame retardant 2 to the substrate 1 may be (0.01 to 10):1, for example, 0.01:1, 0.02:1, 0.04:1, 0.05:1, 0.06:1, 0.08:1, 0.1:1, 0.2:1, 0.4:1, 0.5:1, 0.6:1, 0.8:1, 0.9:1, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a porous material such as a molecular sieve or a mesoporous material may be used as the substrate 1. The mesoporous material is a porous material with the pore diameter of 2-50 nanometers, and has the characteristics of large specific surface area, regular and ordered pore channels, narrow pore diameter distribution and the like. The mesoporous material is adopted, so that the flame retardant can be effectively adsorbed under the normal working state of the secondary battery, the flame retardant is prevented from entering electrolyte to influence the performance of the secondary battery, and after the internal temperature of the secondary battery rises to exceed the boiling point of the flame retardant 2 due to abuse and the like, the flame retardant 2 can be quickly released to prevent combustion.
The mesoporous material can be mesoporous carbon, mesoporous silica or mesoporous alumina. The mesoporous carbon may have a pore diameter of 2 nm to 10 nm (e.g., 2 nm, 3 nm, 4 nm, 5 nm, 6 nm, 7 nm, 8 nm, 9 nm, 10 nm, etc.), and a particle diameter of 200 nm to 2 μm (e.g., 200 nm, 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, 800 nm, 1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.8 μm, 2 μm, etc.).
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the material of the protective layer 3 may be an organic polymer, an inorganic oxide, or a combination of the two. In the case of a protective layer containing inorganic oxides, the flame retardant 2 is vaporized and released through the protective layer. When the organic polymer and inorganic oxide composite protective layer 3 is used, the organic polymer layer may be located inside or outside the inorganic oxide layer.
For the organic polymer as the protective layer 3, the melting point of the organic polymer is usually lower than the boiling point of the flame retardant, so when the inside of the secondary battery is raised to reach the boiling point of the flame retardant 2, the organic polymer is melted, and the flame retardant 2 is directly released from the pore channel X of the substrate 1 to the external environment (as shown in fig. 2), which is beneficial to the rapid release of the flame retardant.

One organic polymer may be used alone as the protective layer, or two or more organic polymers may be used to form a composite protective layer. For example, the substrate 1 may be coated with a polyethylene layer and then a polypropylene layer.
The organic polymer may have a weight average molecular weight of 1000 to 1000000, for example, 1000, 2000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 20000, 40000, 50000, 60000, 80000, 100000, 200000, 400000, 500000, 600000, 800000, 1000000, and the like.

in step S2, the protective layer 3 is formed outside the base 1.
In the preparation method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, firstly, the flame retardant 2 in a molten state enters at least one pore channel X of the substrate 1 by utilizing the principle of capillary phenomenon to obtain the substrate 1 filled with the flame retardant, and then the protective layer 3 is formed outside the substrate 1, thereby obtaining the flame retardant material 10.
In one possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the step S1, the step of allowing the flame retardant 2 in a molten state to enter at least one pore channel X of the substrate 1 having a plurality of pore channels X includes the following steps:
step S11, uniformly mixing the flame retardant 2 with the substrate 1;
step S12, the mixture of the flame retardant 2 and the substrate 1 is left at the first preset temperature for a first preset time.
The first preset temperature is greater than or equal to the melting point of the flame retardant and less than the boiling point of the flame retardant.
The flame retardant 2 may be mixed with the base 1 and then placed in a tube furnace, and the temperature may be controlled by using the tube furnace. Protective gas such as nitrogen or argon can be introduced into the tube furnace to facilitate the flame retardant 2 to enter the pore channel X of the substrate 1.
The mass ratio of the flame retardant 2 to the substrate 1 may be (0.01 to 10):1, for example, 0.01:1, 0.02:1, 0.04:1, 0.05:1, 0.06:1, 0.08:1, 0.1:1, 0.2:1, 0.4:1, 0.5:1, 0.6:1, 0.8:1, 0.9:1, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, or the like. The mass ratio of the flame retardant 1 to the substrate 2 and the volume of the substrate 1 can be controlled to increase the contact area between the substrate 1 and the flame retardant 2 in a molten state, so that the flame retardant 2 can enter more pore channels X.
The first preset time for which the mixture of the flame retardant 2 and the base 1 in a molten state is left to stand may be determined according to the amount of the flame retardant 2. When the using amount of the flame retardant 2 is less, the flame retardant can be placed for a shorter time; when the amount of the flame retardant 2 is large, it can be left for a long time. And, by controlling the first preset time, the amount of the flame retardant 2 filled in the single pore channel X of the substrate 1 and the position of the flame retardant 2 in the pore channel X can be controlled, and when the first preset time is shorter, the amount filled in the single pore channel X is smaller and is close to the opening of the pore channel X. For example, the first predetermined time may be 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, or longer.
It should be noted that, after the flame retardant 2 in the molten state enters the pore X of the substrate 1, a step of reducing the temperature may be included to change the flame retardant 2 from the molten state to a solid state or a liquid state, so as to perform a subsequent step of forming the protective layer 3 on the exterior of the substrate 1.
As described above, the material of the protective layer 3 in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be an organic polymer, an inorganic oxide, or a combination of the two, and therefore, the specific implementation manner of the step S2 needs to be selected according to the specific kind of the protective layer 3.
For example, when the material of the protective layer 3 is silicon dioxide in inorganic oxide, the substrate 1 filled with the flame retardant may be uniformly mixed with tetraethoxysilane and water, and the tetraethoxysilane may undergo hydrolysis reaction on the surface of the substrate 1 to generate silicon dioxide, thereby forming a silicon dioxide protective layer outside the substrate 1.
When the material of the protective layer 3 is an organic polymer, the organic polymer protective layer may be formed in the following manner:
as an example of the present disclosure, the organic polymer protective layer may be formed by immersing the flame retardant-filled substrate 1 in a solution of an organic polymer, taking out the flame retardant-filled substrate 1, and removing the solvent.
As another example of the present disclosure, the flame retardant-filled substrate 1 may be uniformly mixed with an organic polymer monomer, a first solvent, and an initiator for initiating polymerization of the organic polymer monomer, and after reacting for a second predetermined time, an organic polymer protective layer may be formed outside the substrate 1.
In this example, the organic polymer monomer is polymerized on the surface of the substrate 1 by the initiator to form a corresponding organic polymer, thereby forming an organic polymer protective layer.
As described above, the organic polymer may be polyvinylidene fluoride, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, polymethyl methacrylate, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyimide, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylic acid, or the like, and the organic polymer monomer may be vinylidene fluoride, a combination of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, methyl methacrylate, acrylamide, vinyl acetate, a combination of diamine and dibasic acid (or dibasic anhydride), ethylene, propylene, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, or the like.
The vinyl acetate is a monomer of polyvinyl alcohol, the vinyl acetate is firstly polymerized to form a polyvinyl acetate protective layer, and the polyvinyl acetate protective layer is obtained after alcoholysis is carried out on the polyvinyl acetate.
Initiators include, but are not limited to, Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO), Lauroyl Peroxide (LPO), Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), n-Butyllithium (C)4H9Li), boron trifluoride (BF)3) Potassium persulfate (K)2S2O8) Ammonium persulfate ((NH)4)2S2O8) Or tin tetrachloride (SnCl)4) And the like. Suitable initiators may be selected depending on the nature of the organic polymer monomer. For example, benzoyl peroxide and azobisisobutyronitrile are freeRadical polymerization initiators which can be used to initiate monomers suitable for radical polymerization such as ethylene, methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, etc.; n-butyllithium is an anionic polymerization initiator and can be used to initiate monomers suitable for anionic polymerization, such as acrylonitrile.
The first solvent may be selected according to the properties of the organic polymer monomer and the initiator, and may be water, or organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, n-hexane, and the like.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the mass ratio of the organic polymer monomer to the matrix filled with the flame retardant may be: (0.01 to 10) to 1, for example, 0.01:1, 0.02:1, 0.04:1, 0.05:1, 0.06:1, 0.08:1, 0.1:1, 0.2:1, 0.4:1, 0.5:1, 0.6:1, 0.8:1, 0.9:1, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, etc. The thickness of the formed protective layer 3 is controlled by controlling the mass ratio of the organic polymer monomer and the matrix filled with the flame retardant.
The mass ratio of the initiator to the organic polymer monomer may be: (0.1-10): 100, for example, 0.1:100, 0.2:100, 0.4:100, 0.5:100, 0.6:100, 0.8:100, 1:100, 2:100, 4:100, 5:100, 6:100, 8:100, 10:100, etc., and the molecular weight of the organic polymer is controlled by controlling the mass ratio of the initiator to the organic polymer monomer.
Further, in the preparation method of the flame retardant material provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the process of making the flame retardant in a molten state enter the pore channel X of the base body 1, due to the limitation of technical conditions, the flame retardant 2 may be attached to the outer surface of the base body 1, and when the method is applied to a secondary battery, the flame retardant attached to the outer surface of the base body 1 may easily enter the electrolyte to affect the performance of the secondary battery. Therefore, before forming the protective layer 3 on the outside of the base body 1, a step of removing the flame retardant 2 that does not enter the cell channels X of the base body 1 may be further included. For example, the flame retardant 2 that does not enter the pores X of the substrate 1 may be removed by performing a gas purge at a second predetermined temperature. The second predetermined temperature may be higher than the first predetermined temperature.
When the flame retardant material 10 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a secondary battery, the flame retardant material 10 may be added to an electrolyte, or may be supported on a positive electrode, a negative electrode, or a separator.
