Description

Composite diaphragm, preparation method thereof and electrochemical device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of diaphragm materials, and particularly relates to a composite diaphragm, a preparation method thereof and an electrochemical device.
Background
The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high specific capacity, low self-discharge rate, high cost performance and the like, so that the lithium ion battery is widely applied to the fields of portable electronic products and electric automobiles. Among them, the separator is one of the key components in the lithium battery structure.
The diaphragm plays a main role in separating the positive and negative pole pieces, preventing short circuit in the battery, and simultaneously ensuring that the battery promotes the normal passing of lithium ions when the battery is charged and discharged normally, thereby ensuring the normal work of the battery. The quality of the performance is closely related to the safety performance of the battery.
Currently, porous polyolefin separators are mostly used in lithium ion batteries, and the main materials of the separators include polyethylene and polypropylene. However, the melting points of polyethylene and polypropylene are low, 130 ℃ and 150 ℃, respectively, so that a lithium battery may release a large amount of heat due to short circuit when being overcharged, impacted, heated, and the like, so that a polyolefin separator is heated to shrink or melt, short circuit occurs between charged positive and negative electrode materials, heat in the battery is further out of control, and further serious safety accidents such as fire or explosion occur. Therefore, it is important to improve the thermal stability and safety of the separator material so as to avoid the above safety problem.
In recent years, researchers generally adopt a method of coating a layer of ceramic material (such as alumina, boehmite and the like) on the surface of the separator to further improve the heat resistance of the separator, but the polyolefin separator is melted at the melting point (> 130 ℃) of the polyolefin separator, so that micropores of lithium ions disappear, and the conduction of the lithium ions is blocked, which is called a thermal shutdown closed-cell effect. Due to the high closing temperature of the polyolefin membrane, the thermal shutdown effect cannot be realized in time.
In the prior art, a low-melting-point polymer is coated on one side or two sides of a base membrane or a ceramic membrane, so that when the internal temperature of a battery reaches the melting point of a polymer microsphere, the molten polymer enters micropores of a polyolefin base membrane to block lithium ion channels, and the internal short circuit is prevented from continuously occurring. Meanwhile, the polymer microspheres are melted to block the ion channels to realize diaphragm closed pores, and the measure has irreversibility, so that the battery cannot be reused after diaphragm closed pores.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a composite separator for realizing reversible thermal shutdown, which not only has good high temperature resistance and low impedance, but also has good safety and cycle performance of the prepared battery.
Disclosure of Invention

The composite diaphragm provided by the invention has reversible thermal shutdown performance and good heat-resistant stability and air permeability, so that the electrochemical device has higher rate performance and cycle performance.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

In the invention, the reversible thermal expansion polymer microsphere is a polymer which has a boiling point near a set thermal shutdown temperature and is immiscible with water.
The composite diaphragm is prepared by coating a reversible thermal expansion polymer microsphere coating on the surface of a base film. The heat expansion polymer microspheres are coated on the surface of the porous base membrane, so that the porous base membrane has better air permeability and the internal resistance of the battery cannot be obviously improved. Meanwhile, the heat-resistant stability of the base film at a temperature of more than 200 ℃ is achieved, the heat shrinkage rate of the composite diaphragm at a high temperature is reduced, and the phenomenon that the diaphragm is thermally shrunk due to the fact that the inside of the battery is still subjected to side reaction after thermal shutdown response is avoided, and the aggravation of the side reaction further promotes the temperature to continue rising, so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode are in direct contact, and the battery is in a short circuit in a large area.

As can be seen from the data in tables 1 and 2, the composite separator provided by the present invention has a lower thermal shrinkage rate, a lower internal resistance, and is capable of preventing side reactions from occurring inside the battery after a response due to thermal shutdown. Fig. 1-2 show that the composite diaphragm provided by the invention can realize reversible thermal shutdown effect at a lower temperature, namely, the battery can be reused after thermal shutdown and temperature reduction.
Application example 4 is the case of replacing a single polymer microsphere, and the effect of the composite membrane is inferior to the comprehensive performance of the composite membrane provided by application example 1; application example 5 is a case of replacing the base film, the effect of application example 1 is better because the thermal stability of the PP/PE/PP base film is not as good as that of the polyimide base film, and although the thermal shrinkage rate of the separator provided in application example 5 at 200 ℃ is higher, the thermal shrinkage rate at 150 ℃ is very low, so that the normal temperature performance test and the heating internal resistance test are not affected; application examples 7 to 8 are cases where the weight parts of the polymeric microspheres exceed the range, indicating that the weight parts of the reversible thermal expansion polymeric microspheres are controlled, so that the composite diaphragm has a better thermal response shutdown function.
The comparison of application example 1 is a replacement coating type, and the comparison of application examples 2 to 3 is a situation that the thermal shutdown temperature exceeds the range, which shows that the performance of the prepared diaphragm and the lithium ion battery is different from that of application example 1, shows that the composite diaphragm of the thermal expansion microsphere with the overhigh thermal response temperature cannot exert the thermal response function in advance, and before the pore closing of the base film, the thermal runaway of the battery can be caused, and the hot box test cannot be performed.
The applicant states that the present invention is illustrated by the above examples of the process of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above process steps, i.e. it is not meant that the present invention must rely on the above process steps to be carried out. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that any modification of the present invention, equivalent substitutions of selected materials and additions of auxiliary components, selection of specific modes and the like, which are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention, are contemplated by the present invention.
