Compound PET sticky tape of lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a lithium ion battery composite PET adhesive tape.
Background
The lithium ion battery is a green energy source, attracts much attention with the unique advantages of high specific energy, high working voltage, wide application temperature range, low self-discharge rate, long cycle life, no pollution and the like, has the characteristics of the current battery industry development, and has great market opportunity in the development of telecommunication and information markets, particularly the mass use of mobile phones and notebook computers.
At present, in the assembly and manufacturing process of lithium ion batteries, the adhesive tape used by the soft package battery is basically a PET adhesive tape, and the main application process is a lamination section and a welding section. The purpose of using the PET adhesive tape in the lamination section is to bond and fix the diaphragm and the naked electric core body, and the use occasion is when the lamination finishes the coating of the diaphragm; the purpose of using the PET adhesive tape at the welding section is to prevent the welding area from causing physical damage to the aluminum plastic film.
The defects of the prior art mainly include the following two points:
(1) when using former PET sticky tape to paste naked electric core, inner structure is comparatively loose. Usually, the lamination is finished, and a PET adhesive tape is pasted on the outermost surface of the membrane wrapped so as to fix the whole structure of the naked battery cell. Although the adhesive tapes at the two ends of the bare cell and the surface fixing membrane adhesive tape can effectively fix the whole structure of the bare cell, the internal structure of the bare cell is still loose, so that the subsequent vacuum liquid injection and formation processes are not facilitated, and the sticking position of the adhesive tape hinders the direct and effective infiltration of electrolyte;
(2) inconvenient operation and ineffective waste are caused when the battery core is disassembled. The demand can be disassembled along with a large amount of electric cores in the electric core project development stage, and the sticky tape on naked electric core surface still needs to be detached when disassembling the electric core, and the operation is inconvenient, especially when operating in the glove box. In addition, the adhesive tapes are directly discarded after being disassembled, so that the cost is wasted inefficiently.
The Chinese patent literature discloses 'a special adhesive tape for a lithium ion battery and application thereof', and the application publication number of the special adhesive tape is CN 109554136A, the special adhesive tape for the lithium ion battery comprises a protective layer, a base material layer and a bonding layer, wherein the protective layer is a polyamide film, the base material layer is composed of an upper layer and a lower layer, the upper layer is a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) polyester film, and the lower layer is a polypropylene film. However, the special adhesive tape for the lithium ion battery has a complex structure, occupies residual space inside the battery cell, and has a looser structure and high production cost.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a composite PET adhesive tape for a lithium ion battery, which aims to solve the problems that the traditional PET adhesive tape for the lithium ion battery has a loose packaging structure, the sticking position of the traditional PET adhesive tape prevents the direct and effective infiltration of electrolyte, and the adhesive tape still needs to be removed and discarded when a battery cell is disassembled, so that the resource waste is caused.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the composite PET adhesive tape for the lithium ion battery comprises a base material layer, and a bonding layer and a thermoplastic layer which are coated on two sides of the base material layer.
PET: the chemical name of PET is polyethylene terephthalate with the chemical formula of [ COC6H4COOCH2CH2O]n is the same as the formula (I). Belongs to a crystalline saturated polyester, is a milky white or light yellow highly crystalline polymer, has smooth and glossy surface and is rawOr a resin commonly used in the art.
PET tape: the adhesive tape is made of PET double-sided coating acrylic resin adhesive, the color of the adhesive tape is generally transparent and black, and the rare adhesive tape also comprises a green PET double-sided adhesive tape. The adhesive has good dimensional stability, thermal stability and chemical stability, good initial adhesion and adhesive holding capacity, is easy to die-cut and process, and has good adhesion to plastic cement, rubber and nameplates; can be applied to wider temperature range and severe environment.
The lithium ion battery composite PET adhesive tape comprises the following components: the composite adhesive tape is a composite adhesive tape which is coated with a thermoplastic layer on the other side on the basis of the original PET adhesive tape. Not only retains the advantages and characteristics of the original PET adhesive tape, but also has the characteristic of heat sealing. Under the condition of normal temperature, the PET layer has viscosity; under heating, the thermoplastic layer melts and the coating melts to produce a viscous coating. The internal structure of the naked electric core can be effectively and tightly attached after being baked, which is beneficial to the subsequent vacuum liquid injection and formation process; and the original PET adhesive tape is not needed to be used any more, so that the direct and effective infiltration of the electrolyte is facilitated, and the performance of the lithium ion battery is improved.
Preferably, the substrate layer is PET polyester; the bonding layer is acrylic adhesive. The PET adhesive tape used in the technical field of lithium ion batteries basically comprises a PET polyester substrate layer, and acrylic adhesive is coated on one surface of the PET polyester substrate layer.
Preferably, the thermoplastic layer is at least one selected from the group consisting of polypropylene (PP), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA resin), polyurethane, and modified materials mainly composed of the above materials. The material can generate viscosity under the heating condition, and has mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, nontoxicity and environmental friendliness.
Preferably, the bonding layer and the thermoplastic layer are applied by a method selected from the group consisting of roll coating, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, low pressure plasma spraying, low pressure arc spraying, laser spraying, and magnetron sputtering.
Preferably, the width of the lithium ion battery composite PET adhesive tape is 5.7-6.3 mm, and the thickness of the lithium ion battery composite PET adhesive tape is 0.06-0.1 mm. The width and the thickness of the composite PET adhesive tape of the lithium ion battery are limited, and the PET adhesive tape is used for both the lamination section and the welding section in the assembly and manufacturing process of the actual lithium ion battery; the adhesive tape cannot effectively prevent the whole welding area from causing physical damage to the aluminum-plastic film due to the fact that the width is too narrow; too wide width can lead to reduced space for effective infiltration of electrolyte during assembly and injection; the thickness is too thin, so that the overall mechanical stability of the adhesive tape is reduced, and the risk of puncture is caused; the thickness is too thick, can lead to appearing the risk that the whole thickness of electricity core exceeds standard.
Preferably, the thickness of the base material layer is 0.02-0.03 mm, and the base material layer is too thin, so that the overall mechanical stability of the adhesive tape is reduced, and the risk of puncturing is caused; the thickness of the PET layer is too thick, so that the risk that the overall thickness of the battery cell exceeds the standard can be caused.
Preferably, the peel strength of the base material layer is not less than 0.35kgf/in, and the peel strength of the base material layer is too low, which may cause peeling of the PET layer during heating or external mechanical impact.
Preferably, the thickness of the thermoplastic layer is 0.02-0.04 mm. The thickness of the thermoplastic layer is too thin, so that the viscosity generated after the thermoplastic layer is heated and melted is not enough; the thickness of the thermoplastic layer is too thick, which can cause the risk of the excessive thickness of the whole battery core.
Preferably, the thermoplastic layer has a peel strength of 0.85kgf/in or greater. The peel strength of the thermoplastic layer is too low, which may result in the thermoplastic layer falling off during heating or external mechanical impact.
Therefore, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) the advantages and the characteristics of the original PET adhesive tape are maintained, the PET adhesive tape has the characteristic of heat sealing, the residual space in the battery cell is reduced, and the structure is more compact; the vacuum liquid injection effect, the electrolyte infiltration effect and the evacuation effect of the battery core are promoted; the cycle performance of the battery cell is improved, so that the performance of the lithium ion battery is improved;
(2) the step of removing the adhesive tape is not needed any more when the battery core is disassembled, so that the operation is more convenient and safer, the environmental protection is also facilitated, and no pollution and waste are generated.
