Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of evaluation and analysis of lithium ion batteries, and particularly relates to an analysis method of copper dendrites on the surface of a diaphragm.
Background
At present, most lithium ion batteries adopt liquid electrolytes, diaphragms play roles in isolating positive and negative pole pieces and conducting lithium ions in the lithium ion batteries, and the main materials of the diaphragms are PP (polypropylene), PE (polyethylene), PI (polyimide) and the like. The battery voltage is possibly too low due to self-discharge in the long-term storage process of the battery, so that the copper foil of the negative current collector is dissolved, and the dissolved copper element can be separated out again on the surface of the negative plate or the diaphragm in the charging process, so that the diaphragm is pierced, and the positive and negative electrodes are in short circuit.
The fine characterization analysis of the copper dendrites on the surface of the diaphragm can provide important feedback for the optimization of the battery structure or performance and also provide scientific support for relevant basic theory research. Currently, the prior art lacks such an analysis method for copper dendrites on the surface of the diaphragm.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide an analysis method of copper dendrites on the surface of a diaphragm, so as to solve the problem that the existing technology can not perform characterization analysis on the copper dendrites growing on the surface of the diaphragm.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a method for analyzing copper dendrites on the surface of a diaphragm comprises the following steps:
1) cleaning a diaphragm obtained by disassembling the lithium ion battery to obtain a sample to be detected;
2) and scanning the sample to be detected by using an atomic force microscope, and analyzing according to the scanning image to obtain the distribution and the growth height of the copper dendrite on the sample to be detected.
According to the analysis method of the copper dendrites on the surface of the diaphragm, the diaphragm is cleaned and analyzed by an atomic force microscope, so that the fine characterization analysis of the copper dendrites growing on the diaphragm is realized, the distribution and the growth height of the copper dendrites can be simultaneously characterized, and effective support can be provided for relevant basic theory research or optimization of battery performance.
In the step 1), the lithium ion battery can be disassembled by a conventional method to obtain the diaphragm for detection and analysis, and the disassembling process is preferably carried out in a glove box in an inert atmosphere to improve the safety.
The cleaning is to soak the diaphragm in an organic solvent, replace the organic solvent after soaking, carry out ultrasonic treatment, replace the organic solvent after ultrasonic treatment, and then carry out soaking treatment. And then soaking and naturally drying to obtain the sample to be detected. The atomic force microscope images by the tiny acting force between atoms, when the probe is close to the sample surface, because the weak van der Waals acting force exists between the atom at the tip of the probe point and the atom on the sample surface, the micro cantilever fixing the probe is positioned on the equipotential surface corresponding to the acting force between the sample atoms by controlling the constant van der Waals acting force during scanning, the cantilever moves in the direction vertical to the sample surface, the position change corresponding to each scanning point can be measured by an optical detection method, and then the signal is amplified and converted to obtain the scanning image of the sample. The working principle of the atomic microscope is easily obtained, the interaction degree between the probe and the atoms on the surface of the sample can be influenced to a certain degree by processing the sample, and the diaphragm sample obtained by disassembling the battery can directly cause the inaccuracy or the failure of the subsequent analysis and characterization process if the cleaning process is improper. By adopting the optimized cleaning process, the influence of components such as electrolyte on the subsequent analysis and characterization process can be reduced to the greatest extent, the clearer and more accurate surface morphology can be obtained, and the influence of the components on the measurement of the growth height of the copper dendrite can be effectively avoided. More preferably, the soaking time is 5-40 min. The power of the ultrasonic treatment is 60-80Hz, and the time is 5-20 min. The organic solvent is dimethyl carbonate and/or diethyl carbonate.
In the step 2), during scanning, a sample to be detected is bonded on a stainless steel slide. The sample to be measured can be cut into the size of 5mm by 5mm, so that the installation and the measurement of the sample to be measured are facilitated.
The scan was performed using Peak Force mode. The measurement can be carried out by adopting a ScanAsyst inAir mode in a Peak Force mode. The probe used for scanning is RTEAPA-150, and the elastic coefficient k is 6N/m. When scanning, the scanning range is controlled to be (50-120) mu m by (50-120) mu m, and preferably 90 mu m by 90 mu m. The laser is directed at locations 1/3-1/2 on the probe cantilever beam away from the free end face of the cantilever beam.
The threshold of force used during scanning is 5-10 nN. The threshold for the Peak Force tapping amplitude (Peak Force TappinAmplified) is 150-200 nm.
In step 2), the Analysis is performed using NanoScope Analysis software. The height measurement is performed using the Section function in the analysis software.
The analysis method of the copper dendrites on the surface of the diaphragm is suitable for fine characterization of the copper dendrites grown on the diaphragms such as polypropylene PP, polyethylene PE, polyimide PI and the like, can well characterize the height and distribution conditions of the copper dendrites while reproducing the morphology of the copper dendrites, realizes fine evaluation of the diaphragms under different electrochemical conditions, and further can provide effective support for performance optimization of lithium ion batteries.
