The above test results can show that the lithium battery prepared by adopting the current collector prepared in the embodiment 1-3 has superior safety performance compared with the lithium battery prepared in the comparative embodiment 1-4, and the introduction of the polymer current collector effectively solves the needling safety performance of the battery and effectively ensures the safety of the battery such as overcharge, hot box and the like.
Compared with the prior art, in the invention, enol, polypropylene and an initiator are mixed and heated to a molten state, in the process, the initiator is decomposed to generate free radicals, so that hydrogen on tertiary carbon of polypropylene is abstracted by the free radicals to generate polypropylene macromolecule free radicals, and then the polypropylene macromolecule free radicals and the enol undergo a grafting reaction to obtain an intermediate I; further, dimethyl formamide is used as a solvent, anhydrous sodium carbonate and 4-nitrophthalonitrile are added, and the modified polypropylene is obtained through heating reaction under inert atmosphere. On one hand, phenyl is introduced into the polypropylene, so that the structure of the modified polypropylene has better thermal stability; on the other hand, as the benzene ring is used as a rigid group, the chemical bond of the benzene ring is difficult to rotate in space, so that the synthesized polymer has good stability, and the mechanical property of the synthetic film is enhanced; meanwhile, polypropylene reacts with enol under the action of an initiator in the process of synthesizing modified polypropylene, and test results show that when 3-butene-1-ol is selected as the enol, all aspects of the prepared film have optimal performance, because when an alkyl flexible chain segment is introduced into the polypropylene, the melting point can be effectively reduced, when short circuit occurs locally, the heated part can rapidly collapse, an organic supporting layer can rapidly cut off a failure circuit when heat release occurs, excessive combustion of a battery can be prevented, the ignition and explosion risks caused by thermal runaway of a lithium battery can be effectively reduced, when the alkyl flexible chain segment is too short, the melting point cannot be effectively reduced, further, the rapid collapse can not be guaranteed when the local heating occurs, and the intermolecular winding degree is reduced due to relatively large steric hindrance between molecular chains, so that the mechanical performance is relatively low; and when the segment is too long, the mechanical properties thereof are impaired due to the alkyl group as a soft segment.
Polypropylene as a linear polymer, when chain scission occurs at high temperature, the molecular chains directly break to produce small molecular products. The invention modifies polypropylene, and introduces flexible chain segment and benzene ring group on polypropylene side chain, so that the molecular chains are intertwined, and no matter which structure is broken, only part of the polymer is broken, and after the breaking, the polymer is still connected with the main body of the polymer, so that no small molecule is generated in the initial process of thermal cracking.
In addition, nitrile groups are also introduced into the modified polypropylene structure, when a copper metal layer is deposited on the surface of the bonding layer in the preparation process of the copper-plated polypropylene film, magnetron sputtering is carried out on the surface of the bonding layer before deposition, and in the magnetron sputtering process, coordination effect is formed between the nitrile groups and copper elements contained in the modified polypropylene, so that the bonding effect between the bonding layer and the metal layer can be further enhanced, and the bonding force between the film layers is ensured.
