Description

Ultrathin high-strength multilayer composite diaphragm with high-load ceramic particles and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of polyethylene battery diaphragms, in particular to an ultrathin high-strength multilayer composite diaphragm with high-load ceramic particles and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Lithium Ion Batteries (LIBs) have become the main energy storage devices in modern society, and are widely applied to various new energy devices, from portable electronic devices such as digital cameras, mobile phones and notebook computers to electric vehicles and emerging smart grids. There has been a constant effort to improve the macroscopic performance of LIBs. Despite anode and cathode related studies, separator optimization has proven to be the most effective strategy to improve LIBs performance, including safety, cycle life, power density, and energy density, among other aspects. The main function of the separator is to avoid physical contact between the electrodes. The separator allows ions to migrate during charge and discharge, but does not directly promote any cell reactions. Conventional LIBs separators are used on a large scale as polyolefin separators, i.e., polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) or a multi-layer structure thereof. At present, with the progress of science and technology, an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) separator, which is a polyolefin film, is widely used in lithium ion batteries due to its advantages such as good chemical stability, excellent corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and economy. However, most polyolefin separators (including UHMWPE separators) exhibit high thermal shrinkage and low affinity for liquid electrolytes in size due to their electrophilic behavior and poor electrolyte retention during cycling, thereby limiting their application in high temperature, high capacity and high power LIBs.
In order to solve the above problems of the conventional polyolefin separator, research researchers at home and abroad have conducted a great deal of research work in recent ten years, wherein the preparation of the multilayer ceramic composite separator by surface coating or graft modification of the conventional polyolefin separator is one of the most effective means for improving the overall performance of the separator, and the multilayer ceramic composite separator has high strength of the conventional polyolefin layer and high thermal stability and electrolyte affinity of the inorganic layer. At present, a series of ceramic materials and modified materials thereof are used for modifying traditional polyolefin diaphragms, such as SiO2, al2O3, zrO2 and the like, and the content of ceramic particles is generally higher than 60wt%. The selection of the ceramic filler binder is crucial in the process of preparing the multilayer composite diaphragm by adopting direct surface coating, the currently widely used binders mainly comprise PVDF, cellulose Diacetate (CDA), polyurethane (PU) and the like, and sometimes, a plurality of binders are also used in combination in order to further improve the bonding effect. The multilayer ceramic composite separator prepared by surface coating can improve the thermal stability and the electrolyte affinity of the separator to a certain extent, but can also cause some adverse results, such as: 1) Resulting in an increase in the thickness of the separator (the total thickness of the composite separator substantially exceeds 30 μm), thereby increasing the weight of the battery and reducing the energy density; 2) The polymer binder causes substrate micropore blockage, reducing battery ionic conductivity and high power capability; 3) Because the polarity difference exists between the polyolefin substrate layer and the coating layer, the coating layer can be separated from the polyolefin diaphragm in the charging and discharging process, so that the cycle life of the battery is shortened and the performance of the battery is reduced. In order to improve the adhesion between the ceramic particles and the polyolefin diaphragm, researchers adopt methods such as adhesive crosslinking modification, direct chemical grafting of a polyolefin substrate with a ceramic filler and the like to prepare the multilayer composite diaphragm. Generally, electron beam irradiation, ultraviolet ozone (UVO) plasma treatment, chemical agent treatment, etc. are often used to increase the grafting rate of the ceramic particles prior to chemically grafting the ceramic filler. The surface chemical grafting method overcomes the problem of poor adhesion of the surface coating method and improves the performance of the multilayer ceramic composite membrane, but the technical process is complex and high in cost, special energy-consuming equipment is required, and the large-scale practical application of the surface chemical grafting method is hindered.
Therefore, aiming at the problems of large thickness, poor bonding property, easy blockage of micropores, complex process, high cost and the like in the coating or chemical grafting manufacturing process of the multilayer ceramic composite diaphragm, if a common polyolefin biaxial tension forming method is directly adopted to prepare the polyolefin/inorganic nanoparticle multilayer composite diaphragm, the problems are solved, a brand new diaphragm and a manufacturing method thereof are formed, and the advantages of the battery diaphragm can be better improved.
