Description

Lithium ion battery diaphragm and production process thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion battery diaphragms, in particular to a lithium ion battery diaphragm and a production process thereof.
Background
The lithium ion battery diaphragm is divided into a dry method and a wet method according to different preparation processes, and the wet method is also called a phase separation method or a thermal separation method. The wet process is to mix polypropylene (PP) or Polyethylene (PE) with white oil, to form uniform melt mixture after heating and melting by an extruder, then to cool and phase separate by a casting process to prepare a microporous membrane, to heat the membrane to a temperature close to the melting point, to perform biaxial tension to align molecular chains, to preserve heat for a certain time, to elute residual solvent by volatile substances, to prepare the mutually communicated microporous membrane material.
Currently, the following two common methods for thermally induced phase separation in the sheet casting process are used: 1. the method comprises the following steps of (1) setting the temperature of a chilling roller by using the chilling roller, attaching melt flowing out of a die head to the chilling roller, enabling the melt to be rapidly cooled, and enabling white oil to be rapidly separated from PE/PP to form micropores; 2. the method comprises the following steps of using a chilling roller and a water tank, wherein water with a certain temperature is filled in the water tank, cooling the melt by using the water and the chilling roller simultaneously when the melt is attached, and reducing the difference of the thermal phase separation speed of the front side (namely the film surface contacting the chilling roller) and the back side (namely the film surface not contacting the chilling roller) of the diaphragm. In the former method using the chill roll, when the melt is attached with the sheet, because the temperature of the air is inconsistent with that of the chill roll, the phase separation rate of the front surface and the back surface is inconsistent, and the crystallization rate is inconsistent, the consistency of the physical properties of the film is influenced; in the latter method using a chill roll and a water tank, since the boiling point of water is 100 ℃, and the melt enters the water tank after being cast, the film surface temperature is not necessarily lower than 100 ℃, and when the film surface temperature is higher than or equal to 100 ℃, the water in contact with the film surface boils, which adversely affects the appearance of the film.
