Description

Lithium battery composite diaphragm and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a lithium ion battery, in particular to a high-safety lithium battery composite diaphragm and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The diaphragm is a barrier which plays a safety function in the lithium ion battery, the diaphragm which is commonly used at present is made of polyolefin materials, the melting point of the diaphragm is lower, the temperature is generally lower than 150 ℃, the high-temperature heat resistance is poor, when the internal temperature of the battery is close to the thermal deformation temperature of the diaphragm, the diaphragm can shrink and deform, and then the positive electrode and the negative electrode can be in direct contact to cause internal thermal runaway. As the energy density of the battery increases, the separator used in the battery is also gradually thinned, but this greatly increases the risk and hazard of short circuits occurring in the battery.
In order to improve the defects of the polyolefin membrane and improve the endurance mileage and the heat resistance, ceramic modification is usually carried out on the polyolefin membrane, and the ceramic coating is used for improving the wettability and the heat resistance of the membrane and the electrolyte. However, this method can only improve the heat resistance of the separator to a certain extent because the base film is polyolefin, and cannot raise the rupture temperature of the separator to 200 ℃.
When thermal runaway occurs in the battery, a large amount of heat is generated, at the moment, if the diaphragm is closed rapidly in time at the initial stage of the thermal runaway, then continuous transmission of ions is blocked to form open circuit, the effect of protecting the battery can be achieved, and the temperature at which the micropores are closed is the closed-pore temperature. For lithium batteries, it is desirable that the closed cell temperature is somewhat lower, and that the cells are closed when the temperature increases, preventing the occurrence of short circuits, thereby improving the safety of the battery. If the battery triggers further thermal runaway, if the used diaphragm has higher rupture temperature, the diaphragm can have better integrity in a certain temperature range, and the contact of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate can not be caused by thermal shrinkage at high temperature or deformation at lower rupture temperature so as to cause further battery runaway.
In general, the polyolefin material has a closed cell temperature of 130-140 ℃, the closed cell temperature is not greatly changed after the heat-resistant inorganic ceramic coating is coated, and the rupture (thermal shrinkage deformation) temperature is 150-170 ℃.

Figure BDA0004045111620000131
As can be seen from table 1 above, the functional separators with safety performance prepared in examples 1 to 4 of the present invention have higher heat resistance, the heat shrinkage at 250 ℃ is less than 1.5% for 1h, and the heat shrinkage at 250 ℃ is more than 5% for 1h for the composite separators prepared in comparative examples 1 to 2; in addition, as can be seen from the above table 1, the closed pore temperatures of the functional diaphragms with safety performance prepared in examples 1 to 4 of the present invention are all less than 125 ℃, and the rupture temperatures are all more than 300 ℃.
