Description

Polyolefin powder, extrusion molding material, separator, battery, electronic device, and mobile device
Technical Field
The present application relates to the technical field of polyolefin, extrusion molding materials and lithium ion batteries, and in particular, to a separator, a manufacturing method thereof, a battery, electronic equipment and a mobile device.
Background
The polyolefin material is a thermoplastic resin prepared by polymerizing olefin monomers, has excellent low temperature resistance and good chemical stability, and can resist most of acid and alkali corrosion. Is insoluble in common solvent at normal temperature, does not absorb water, and has excellent electrical insulation property. Therefore, they are widely used as separators in lithium ion batteries.
Lithium ion batteries are now the secondary power source that is commercialized and widely used. In lithium ion batteries, polyolefin microporous membranes are porous, electrochemically inert media between the positive and negative electrodes that do not participate in the electrochemical reaction, but are critical to the safety performance of the cell. The polyolefin microporous membranes currently in use may have some drawbacks. For example, the separator may have poor ductility, which may lead to the separator being pierced when the cell is mechanically abused. As another example, the cell temperature of the separator is high, so that the electrochemical path is more difficult to shut off when the cell is overheated. As another example, the membrane rupture temperature of the membrane is low, such that the membrane melts when the cell overheats. Meanwhile, the polyolefin microporous membrane has serious defects of reduced film forming quality, such as bright spots, mildew spots and the like, caused by uneven plasticization in the processing process. The above defects easily cause breakage of the separator, and form a short-circuit point between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, thereby causing potential safety hazard.
In order to be used more safely and more efficiently in this field, extrusion molding characteristics of polyolefin materials have been intensively studied, and from the viewpoint of improving productivity, for example, methods like patent documents 1 and 2 are disclosed, and specifically, CN111848844a discloses a polyolefin material which has high strength, low heat shrinkage properties while improving production efficiency by controlling isothermal crystallization time of polyolefin, and a method for producing the same; CN111868113a discloses an excessive polyolefin resin and a method for preparing the same, wherein the excessive polyolefin material has high strength, high wear resistance, lubricity and chemical resistance, and simultaneously, the appearance and the oil smoke amount of the polyolefin material are improved by controlling the viscosity average molecular weight and the particle size of polyolefin powder.
In the field of lithium ion battery applications, attention is paid to the membrane forming quality, such as occurrence of bright spot defects, in addition to the strength, elongation at break, closed pores and membrane rupture characteristics of polyolefin microporous membranes. The polyolefin resin and the preparation method thereof disclosed in the patent literature only improve the appearance, the processing efficiency and the antioxidant capacity of the polyolefin resin by discussing isothermal crystallization time, viscosity average molecular weight and powder particle size distribution of the material, and do not provide a reasonable solution for the problem of bright spots generated in the polyolefin processing process and simultaneously realize high extensibility.
In addition, compared with the conventional polyolefin material, the polyolefin has the advantages that the high-low molecular weight collocation (the difference of melt indexes) is realized through the molecular weight design, the crystallization orientation of the high-molecular weight polyolefin material is realized in the processing process, meanwhile, the stress concentration in the stretching process is reduced due to the high lubrication characteristic of the low-molecular polyolefin, the residual stress is reduced, and the polyolefin microporous membrane with the characteristics of high modulus, high ductility, lower closed pore temperature and higher rupture temperature is realized. The design of the high molecular weight polyolefin material with small grain diameter and the low molecular weight polyolefin material with large grain diameter solves the problem of inconsistent swelling rate of the high/low molecular weight polyolefin materials, so that the polyolefin powder fully opens molecular chain entanglement in the high-temperature melting and blending process of an extruder, the melt non-uniformity is improved, the number of crystal points is reduced, and the defect of bright spots generated by unmelted high molecular weight polyolefin is solved. Meanwhile, the decrease of the viscosity average molecular weight of the polyolefin under the yellowing condition is controlled, so that the local degradation caused by the breakage of polyolefin molecular chains due to high temperature is prevented, and the second type of bright spot defect generated by thinner film surface thickness is prevented.

From the viewpoint of processing molding and plasticizing, the viscosity average molecular weight is preferably 20X 10 4 200X 10 of the above 4 Hereinafter, it is more preferable to use a range of 25X 10 4 Above and 150×10 4 Within the following range, more preferably 25X 10 4 130×10 of the above 4 The following is given. The viscosity average molecular weight in the present application was measured by gel permeation chromatography (gel permeation chromatography, GPC). The polyolefin powder preferably has a viscosity average molecular weight of 15X 10 from the viewpoint of improving the strength of the polyolefin molding material while reducing the residual stress and improving the heat stability 4 From the viewpoint of improving the uniformity of the high-temperature melt of the polyolefin and improving the plasticization uniformity, the viscosity average molecular weight of the polyolefin powder is preferably 300X 10 4 The following is given.

The polyolefin powder in the application adopts a conventional polyolefin synthesis control method to adjust the viscosity average molecular weight, such as the conditions of temperature, pressure and the like in a polymerization system. The polymerization temperature is inversely related to the viscosity average molecular weight, i.e., the higher the polymerization temperature, the less favorable the polyolefin molecular weight increase. As a method for adjusting the viscosity average molecular weight of the polyolefin to the above range, there can be exemplified a method in which a metal material as a catalyst capable of polymerizing an ethylene monomer is used and polymerized to the target upper limit of the viscosity average molecular weight, and a chain transfer agent is added to reduce the viscosity average molecular weight of a part of the high molecular weight polyolefin to form a polyolefin material having a high and low molecular weight.
The present application contributes to the effect of the present application by determining the initial crystallization temperature of the polyolefin powder using a hot stage polarization microscope (LEICA DM 2500P) under the following measurement conditions, improving the uniformity of crystal growth thereof.

It should be noted that the effect of the step-up/down rate is to release the residual stress in the polyolefin after the polyolefin is fully melted, eliminate the influence on crystallization behavior, and achieve isothermal crystallization effect.
Yellowing conditions:
blending 30wt% polyolefin powder with 70wt% mineral oil; placing the blend on a heating platform, and keeping the temperature at 40 ℃ for 0.5h; heating the heating platform to 150 ℃ at a heating rate of 10 ℃/min, and maintaining for 0.5h; the heating platen was heated to 200 ℃ at a ramp rate of 5 ℃/min and maintained for 1 hour.

The Mv1/Mv is 0.75 or more, more preferably 0.8 or more, and still more preferably 0.85 or more. The ratio of Mv1/Mv is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.98 or less, for example, indicating that the polyolefin powder is not oxidized at a high Wen Huanghua level.
According to the method, the Mv1/Mv is controlled to be more than 0.75, so that the high-temperature volatilization of a part with a higher melt index in polyolefin is reduced; on the other hand, the oxidative decomposition of the lower melt index portion (high molecular weight portion), such as the oxidative decomposition of the high molecular weight portion, is suppressed, and carbonized inorganic matters are dispersed in the melt, so that the formation of inorganic nucleating agents causes the crystallization disorder during the casting of the melt to affect the appearance. The polyolefin material designed by the embodiment is not easy to generate carbonization phenomenon, thereby promoting the consistency of high-temperature melt and improving the production efficiency. In addition, from the viewpoint of plasticizing ability and plasticizing uniformity of the polyolefin material with mineral oil, the ratio of Mv1/Mv is preferably 0.98 or less, more preferably 0.95 or less, and still more preferably 0.92 or less.
Particle size distribution and melt index
The polyolefin powder in the present application contains a fraction having a particle diameter of 110 μm or more, and has a melt index of 10g/10min or more, more preferably 15g/10min or more, still more preferably 18g/10min or more. The melt index of the portion having a particle size of 110um or more is 10g/10min or more from the viewpoint of improving the intermolecular lubrication and plasticization, and the melt index of the portion having a particle size of 110um or more is 30g/10min or less, more preferably 25g/10min or less, still more preferably 22g/10min or less from the viewpoint of improving the material strength and ease of processing.
The polyolefin powder in the present application contains a fraction having a particle size of 70 μm or less, and has a melt index of 0.5g/10min or less, more preferably 0.3g/10min or less, and still more preferably 0.25g/10min or less. The melt index of the portion having a particle diameter of 70um or less is 0.05g/10min or more from the viewpoint of optimizing the blending process, and the melt index of the portion having a particle diameter of 70um or less is 0.1g/10min or more, more preferably 0.12g/10min or more, still more preferably 15g/10min or more from the viewpoint of reducing the possibility of plasticization failure of the extrusion molding material, reducing the number of melt crystal points in the melt and improving the appearance quality.
The average particle diameter of the high melt index portion in the polyolefin powder of the present application is preferably 110 to 500um, more preferably 250 to 420um, still more preferably 270 to 380 um; the average particle diameter of the low melt index portion is preferably 70um or less and 10um or more, more preferably 60um or less and 20um or more, and still more preferably 55um or less and 25um or more. The average particle diameter of the high melt index portion is preferably 500um or less from the viewpoint of improving uniformity of crystal nucleus growth and uniformity of refractive index on a macro scale, and is preferably 110um or more from the viewpoint of matching the swelling rate and reducing the phase separation temperature difference of the high and low melt index polyolefin materials. The average particle diameter of the low melt index polyolefin material is preferably 10um or more from the viewpoint of improving dispersibility, reducing powder agglomeration and water absorption, and preferably 70um or less from the viewpoint of improving matching with a high melt index swelling rate and melt uniformity.
The research of the application finds that the disentanglement rate of polyolefin powder molecular chains is mainly determined by the molecular weight and the powder particle size. The larger the polyolefin molecular weight, the higher the degree of entanglement of the molecular chains, and the larger the particle diameter of the polyolefin powder, the more unfavorable the disentanglement thereof. The melting process is carried out at high temperature, so that small molecules of mineral oil can fully migrate into polyolefin molecular chains, the opening time of the molecular chains is shortened, and the processing efficiency is improved. In addition, the problem of inconsistent swelling rate of the high/low molecular weight polyolefin materials is solved by adopting the design of the high molecular weight polyolefin materials with small particle size and the low molecular weight polyolefin materials with large particle size, so that the polyolefin powder fully opens molecular chain entanglement in the high-temperature melting and blending process of an extruder, the melt non-uniformity is improved, the number of crystal points is reduced, and the defect of bright spots generated by unmelted high molecular weight polyolefin is solved.
High and low molecular weight polyolefin powder
The polyolefin powder in the present application preferably contains 10 to 30wt%, more preferably 12 to 25wt%, still more preferably 15 to 22wt% of the polyolefin powder having a particle diameter of 110 μm or more, based on 100wt% of the polyolefin powder mass fraction. The polyolefin powder having a particle size of 70 μm or less is contained in an amount of preferably 70 to 90wt%, more preferably 75 to 88wt%, still more preferably 78 to 85wt%. By controlling the ratio of polyolefin powders of different particle diameters within the above range, a melt having a uniform swelling can be obtained.
From the viewpoint of improving the melt strength, preventing creep of the extrusion molding material, and improving the tensile modulus of the separator substrate, the polyolefin powder preferably contains a polyolefin powder having a particle diameter of 110um or more in an amount of 30wt% or less, while suppressing the polyolefin powder having a particle diameter of 110um or more from rapidly swelling and coating a portion having a particle diameter of 70um or less during melt blending of the polyolefin powder with mineral oil, and reducing melt uniformity. The purpose is to obtain the gel sheet with uniform crystal nucleus growth and uniform refraction degree under the macro scale in the extrusion casting process. The polyolefin powder preferably has a polyolefin powder content of not less than 90wt% in terms of improving the high-temperature plasticizing uniformity of the polyolefin powder with mineral oil, and the conventional high-molecular weight polyolefin powder is less likely to cause solid unmelted matter due to the high entanglement of the molecular chains thereof, and is likely to cause crystallization points in the melt due to the difficulty in opening the molecular chains in the high-temperature melting stage under the mineral oil plasticizing condition, and thus causes stress concentration in terms of processing strength.
Bulk density of
In the embodiment of the present application, the bulk density of the polyolefin powder having a particle diameter of 110 μm or more is preferably 0.15 to 0.4g/cm 3 More preferably 0.2 to 0.35g/cm 3 More preferably 0.22 to 0.32g/cm 3 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the The bulk density of the powder having a particle diameter of 70um or less is preferably 0.5 to 0.8g/cm 3 More preferably 0.55 to 0.75g/cm 3 More preferably 0.6 to 0.7g/cm 3
The bulk density of the polyolefin powder at a portion having a particle diameter of 110 μm or more is preferably controlled to be 0.4g/cm 3 The gaps can be fully embedded in the parts with smaller particle sizes to a certain extent, the gaps are fully dispersed in mineral oil, uneven mixing caused by layering is reduced, meanwhile, the specific surface area of the parts with the particle sizes of more than 110 mu m of polyolefin powder is large, the heat absorption efficiency is low, and therefore the molecular weight disentangling rate is reduced. The bulk density of the powder having a particle diameter of 70 μm or less is preferably 0.5g/cm 3 The above can promote the small molecules of mineral oil to be embedded into the molecular chains of the high molecular weight polyolefin, quicken the molecular chain unwrapping, and further reduce unmelts in the melt, which are generated by the high degree of entanglement of the molecular chains of the high molecular weight polyolefin.

The thickness of the gel sheet is preferably 200 to 700um, more preferably 250 to 550um.
The thickness of the gel sheet is increased to facilitate the increase in mechanical strength of the separator base material (the gel sheet thickness is preferably 200um or more, more preferably 250um or more). Reducing the thickness of the gel sheet is advantageous in increasing the elongation characteristics of the separator substrate (the gel sheet thickness is preferably 700um or less, more preferably 550um or less).
The high temperature melt casting cooling method may be, for example, a direct contact cooling method such as air cooling, water cooling, oil cooling, contacting the cast sheet with a cooling roll, or the like. From the standpoint of controlling the thickness of the gel sheet and improving the uniformity of the separator substrate, the embodiments of the present application preferably employ a method of cooling by contact with a cooling roller.
The purpose of adding plasticizers to polyolefin compositions is to promote the plasticity of the polyolefin material. The plasticizer may include, for example, at least one of the following: hydrocarbon organic solvents (e.g., paraffin, etc.), 2-ethylhexyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, alkyl sulfonates, butyl benzyl phthalate, diisononyl phthalate. Liquid paraffin is preferred in the examples of the present application.
Alternatively, the plasticizer may be miscible with the polyolefin material (i.e., an organic solvent forming a homogeneous phase) at any ratio under high temperature conditions.
The polyolefin content in the mixture is preferably 10 to 50wt%, more preferably 12 to 30wt%, even more preferably 15 to 25wt%.
It is noted that increasing the polyolefin content in the mixture is advantageous in improving the moldability and processability of the mixture (the polyolefin content in the mixture may be, for example, 15wt% or more). Reducing the polyolefin's ratio in the mixture is beneficial to improving the pore forming properties of the mixture (the polyolefin's ratio in the mixture may be, for example, 95wt% or less).
The plasticizer is preferably present in the mixture in an amount of 50 to 90wt%, more preferably 75 to 85wt%. The addition of a plasticizer to the mixture is advantageous in providing a relatively complete pore structure in addition to improving the plasticizing ability of the polyolefin.
Optionally, the mixture further comprises inorganic particles. The inorganic particle may be a pore former.
If inorganic particles are used in step (1) and at least part of the inorganic particles are removed in the final product, it is advantageous to obtain a relatively high porosity, thereby improving the ion transport efficiency. The manner of removing the inorganic particles may be, for example, to use a liquid in which the inorganic particles are soluble.
If inorganic particles are used in step (1) and at least part of the inorganic particles remain in the final finished product, it is advantageous to increase the stability (e.g. to increase the mechanical properties, heat resistance, etc. of the film material) and polarity (i.e. to increase the affinity of the film material for the electrolyte) of the polyolefin film material.
The inorganic particles may include, for example, at least one of the following: aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide, barium oxide, magnesium oxide, beryllium oxide, calcium oxide, thorium oxide, aluminum nitride, titanium nitride, boehmite, apatite, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, barium sulfate, boron nitride, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, cubic boron nitride, hexagonal boron nitride.
The size of the inorganic particles may affect the uniformity of mixing. The particle diameter of the inorganic particles is preferably in the range of 5 to 300nm, more preferably in the range of 10 to 100nm, and even more preferably in the range of 20 to 50 nm.
Optionally, the mixture may further comprise an antioxidant.
In order to reduce oxidative decomposition of the polyolefin, an antioxidant may be added to the polyolefin composition. That is, a mixture containing polyolefin and antioxidant is kneaded and extruded in a screw extruder.
In one possible example, the antioxidant is preferably present in the mixture at a ratio of 0.1 to 5wt%, more preferably 0.2 to 2wt%.
(2) The gel sheet was biaxially stretched.
Step (2) may be simply referred to as a stretching process. The stretching step may be a step of stretching the gel sheet in the biaxial directions.
The biaxial stretching method may be, for example, asynchronous stretching (sequential biaxial stretching using a differential speed roller stretching machine in combination with a rail chain tenter, that is, stretching in the first axial direction first and then stretching in the second axial direction), synchronous stretching (simultaneous stretching using a biaxial tenter, that is, stretching in both the first axial direction and the second axial direction). Asynchronous stretching is beneficial to improving the stretch forming efficiency.
It should be noted that increasing the stretching temperature in the stretching step is advantageous in preventing cold drawing due to an excessively low stretching temperature, and further, causing a relatively large stress concentration due to insufficient activation of the molecular chains (i.e., a relatively large degree of solidification) (the stretching temperature in the stretching step may be 60 ℃ or higher, for example). The stretching temperature in the stretching step is reduced, which is advantageous for improving the pore structure of the separator (the stretching temperature in the stretching step may be, for example, 110 ℃ or lower).
(3) The plasticizer in the gel sheet is removed.
Step (3) may be simply referred to as a plasticizer removal process. The plasticizer removal process may specifically remove the plasticizer in the gel sheet by an extractant. The extractant may dissolve the plasticizer (the extractant may be a good solvent for the plasticizer) but is not compatible with the polyolefin material (i.e., the extractant cannot dissolve the polyolefin material). The extractant may include, for example, at least one of the following: halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g., methylene chloride, N-hexane, cyclohexane, etc.), acetone, tetrahydrofuran, ethanol, N-methylpyrrolidone, etc. In the examples herein, the extractant is preferably methylene chloride.
The method for removing the plasticizer can be that the gel sheet is immersed in the extractant, or the extractant is sprayed on the gel sheet to extract the plasticizer, and finally the extracted gel sheet is dried.
(4) The gel sheet was heat set.
Step (4) may be simply referred to as a heat setting process. The heat setting process may be to perform low-rate stretching and retracting operation on the gel sheet at a certain temperature to release stress accumulated in the precursor process of the gel sheet, thereby being beneficial to improving the heat stability of the gel sheet.
The reduction of the stretching temperature in the heat setting step is advantageous in reducing the crystallinity of the gel sheet (the stretching temperature in the heat setting step is preferably 135 ℃ or less). The stretching temperature in the heat-setting step is preferably increased to prevent stress concentration and microcracking in the gel sheet (the stretching temperature in the heat-setting step is preferably 105 ℃ or higher).
The retraction operation may specifically refer to relaxing or semi-free state of the gel sheet by retracting the track to relax the gel sheet.
Reducing the retraction ratio of the retraction operation is advantageous in preventing excessive relaxation, thereby facilitating an increase in the pores of the gel sheet, and facilitating an improvement in ion transport efficiency (the retraction ratio of the retraction operation is preferably 10% or less, more preferably 4.5% or less, still more preferably 3% or less).
The improvement of the retraction ratio of the retraction operation is advantageous in reducing the internal stress of the gel sheet and improving the thermal shrinkage of the gel sheet (thermal shrinkage may refer to a shrinkage phenomenon occurring under the action of the stress of the separator at high temperature) (the retraction ratio of the retraction operation is preferably 0.5% or more, more preferably 1% or more).
(5) And (5) winding and cutting.
And (5) specifically, rolling and slitting the gel sheet. Through the step (5), the membrane substrate or the membrane provided in the embodiments of the present application can be obtained.
The embodiment of the present application may not limit the execution order and the execution times of the steps (1) to (5).
For example, the execution sequence of steps (1) to (5) may be preferably: (1) - (2) - (3) - (4) - (5). And the step (2) is executed before the step (3), so that the pore structure of the diaphragm is improved, and the mechanical strength of the diaphragm is improved.
As another example, the execution sequence of steps (1) to (5) may be: (1) - (3) - (2) - (4) - (5).
As another example, the execution sequence of steps (1) to (5) may be: (1) - (3) - (2) - (3) - (4) - (5).
The step (2) (i.e., the stretching step) may be performed before or after the step (3) (i.e., the plasticizer removing step), or simultaneously with the step before the step (3), or simultaneously with the step after the step (3).
The embodiment of the application also provides a manufacturing method of the lithium ion battery. The principle is that the separator is arranged between the positive electrode material and the negative electrode material (for example, the separator is assembled in the order of positive electrode material-separator-negative electrode material or negative electrode material-separator-positive electrode material); winding a layered member containing a positive electrode material, a separator, and a negative electrode material to obtain a wound body; loading the wound body into a battery case; and (5) injecting electrolyte.

In addition, the film materials provided herein may also be suitable for use in capacitors. In addition, the membrane material provided by the application can be used as a permeable membrane, a filtering membrane or an ultrafiltration membrane and the like.
In one possible example, the positive electrode material may be obtained by: mixing a positive electrode active material (such as lithium cobaltate), a conductive agent (such as conductive carbon black, super-P, SP) and a binder (such as polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinylidene fluoride, PVDF) in a mass ratio of 97:1.5:1.5 in a solvent (such as N-methylpyrrolidone, N-methyl pyrrolidone, NMP) to form a positive electrode slurry; uniformly coating the positive electrode slurry on two sides of a plate (such as aluminum foil) through coating equipment; drying the positive electrode slurry on the plate through an oven to remove the solvent; and cold pressing, slitting and tab welding are carried out on the positive electrode material on the plate.
In one possible example, the anode material may be obtained by: mixing a negative electrode active material (such as artificial graphite), a thickening agent (such as carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC) and a binder (such as styrene butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, SBR) in a mass ratio of 97:1.3:1.7 in a solvent (such as deionized water) to form a negative electrode slurry; uniformly coating the negative electrode slurry on two sides of a plate (such as copper foil) through coating equipment; drying the negative electrode slurry on the plate through an oven to remove the solvent; and cold pressing, slitting and tab welding are carried out on the negative electrode material on the plate.
In one possible example, the diaphragm may be obtained by: and coating a membrane coating on the surface of the membrane substrate. In embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the separator coating may be, for example, 0.5 μm to 10 μm.
For example, the separator coating may include an inorganic coating (e.g., a ceramic coating) and an organic coating (e.g., an oily PVDF coating) disposed over the inorganic coating. Among them, the ceramic coating is advantageous in that the heat resistance of the separator can be improved. The PVDF coating has certain bonding performance, and can improve the bonding force between the diaphragm and the positive electrode material (or between the diaphragm and the negative electrode material), so that the diaphragm can be bonded with the positive electrode material or the negative electrode material more tightly, the hardness of the battery cell is further improved, and the passing rate of the needling test of the battery cell is improved. If a bonding gap exists between the separator and the positive electrode material or the negative electrode material, the hardness of the battery cell is not facilitated, and the passing rate of the needling test of the battery cell is also not facilitated.
As another example, the separator coating may include only an organic coating or an organic/inorganic hybrid coating, i.e., may be directly coated on the surface of the separator substrate.
The positive electrode material, the separator and the negative electrode material are wound together to form a bare cell. The power storage capacity of the bare cell can reach 3.8Ah, and the working voltage of the bare cell can be 3.0-4.43V.

The 6.5 μm polyolefin film materials of examples 1-6 showed excellent performance in terms of mechanical properties, closed cell/rupture temperature, and the like, as measured conventionally. As can be seen from example 1, the yellowing resistance Mv1/Mv of the polyolefin powder significantly affects the film forming quality of the polyolefin material during extrusion processing, and when Mv1/Mv is 0.75, it is shown that the polyolefin powder has insufficient oxidation resistance and is easy to undergo oxidative decomposition to form carbonized solid matters, and bright spots containing unmelted matters are shown on the film surface, and the number of the bright spots reaches 5/500 m 2 The size of the bright spots reaches a serious defect with the length of 10um and the width of 7 um. And the test of the performance of the battery cell cannot be successfully passed. Examples 2 to 6 show that the bright spot defect of the polyolefin film material can be improved by properly controlling the yellowing resistance Mv1/Mv and adjusting the particle size distribution of the polyolefin powder, the components of the polyolefin with high viscosity average molecular weight are improved, the swelling rate of the powder is optimized, the number and the size of bright spots are reduced, and the safety of the film material is further improved; however, when the yellowing resistance Mv1/Mv is further improved (more than or equal to 0.95), the problem of uneven plasticization may occur, and the high-melt-index portion is generated to melt and cover the unmelted low-melt-index portion, so that bright spots are formed, and the closed pore temperature of the diaphragm may also be increased. This means that forThe anti-yellowing ability Mv1/Mv and the particle size distribution of the polyolefin powder are relatively important for the homogeneity of the melt in terms of the overall properties of the film material.
It can be seen from examples 7-12 that the coating process (such as adjusting the conditions of coating materials, systems, etc.) of the diaphragm can reduce the safety influence of bright spots on the film materials, improve the cell performance index of the diaphragm, and improve the performance consistency of the diaphragm.
Through combining a plurality of polyolefin according to a specific mode and adopting a traditional wet diaphragm manufacturing process, and through controlling the yellowing resistance Mv1/Mv and the powder particle size distribution, the blending synergistic effect of a plurality of polyolefin materials is realized, the non-uniformity phenomenon of polyolefin powder in a high-temperature melting state can be improved, and the generation number and size of bright spots can be reduced.

The comparative examples 3 to 6 show that the yellowing resistance Mv1/Mv and the particle size distribution of different melt indexes significantly affect the type of bright spots of the diaphragm, and polyolefin Mv1/Mv below 0.75 is easy to produce carbonized impurity bright spots, and the particle size distribution is not optimized (the particle sizes of polyolefin with different melt indexes are consistent) is easy to produce bright spots caused by unmelted matters.
