Background
The battery shell is mainly used for protecting the battery inner cell and preventing external oxygen, moisture and the like from contacting with materials such as electrolyte, electrodes and the like in the battery. The corrosion resistance and insulation of the battery case are very important for the life and safety of the battery, since the battery case is charged by long-term contact with the electrolyte and the battery cells. In order to improve corrosion resistance of a battery case and avoid short circuit, a corrosion-resistant insulating layer is generally added on the case, however, the insulating layer adopted by the related art has limited corrosion resistance.
For this purpose, the present application is proposed.
Disclosure of Invention
The present application has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present application is to provide a battery case, a method for producing the same, a secondary battery having the same, and an electric device, which solve the problem of insufficient corrosion resistance of the battery case.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions.
A first aspect of the present application provides a battery case comprising a case body, at least part of the surface of which is provided with an insulating protective layer;
the shearing force between the insulating protective layer and the shell is 1-20 MPa, and the insulating protective layer comprises resin after cross-linking and curing of a resin prepolymer with the following general structure:
wherein,
n1=0~2,n2=0~2,m=1~200,q=1~200。
therefore, the resin after the cross-linking and curing of the prepolymer with the structural formula is used as the insulating protective layer, and compared with other materials, the shearing force between the resin and the shell is improved, namely the adhesive force of the insulating protective layer on the shell is improved, so that the falling-off time of the insulating protective layer is prolonged.
In any embodiment, the swelling rate of the insulating protective layer in electrolyte soaked for 24 hours reaches 0.01% -10%; the electrolyte for testing the swelling ratio includes dimethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, and lithium salt, and dimethyl carbonate: vinyl carbonate volume ratio = 1:1, lithium salt is 1mol/L LiPF 6
The swelling rate of the insulating protective layer is also obviously reduced, the corrosion resistance of the insulating protective layer in electrolyte is stronger, and the swelling is delayed, so that the problem that a film layer falls off after the electrolyte is soaked for a long time is solved. Therefore, the application can solve the problem of insufficient corrosion resistance of the shell from various aspects.
In any embodiment, the weight percentage of hydroxymethyl in the resin prepolymer is 5% -22.89%, preferably 15% -20%.
The content of the hydroxymethyl is controlled within the reasonable range, so that the low swelling rate and the high mechanical strength can be achieved. If the hydroxymethyl content is less than 5%, the crosslinking degree of the prepolymer after curing is low, and swelling is easy to occur when the prepolymer is immersed in electrolyte. If the hydroxymethyl content is more than 22.89%, the crosslinking degree after curing is too high, the rigidity is too strong, the mechanical strength is poor, and the fracture is easy.
In any embodiment, the molecular weight of the resin prepolymer is 442 to 48720, preferably 4000 to 30000.
The molecular weight is controlled within the above reasonable range, and the processability and electrolyte resistance can be both achieved. If the molecular weight is less than 442, the polymer is hardly polymerized and crosslinked to form a polymer, and the electrolyte resistance is poor. If the molecular weight is >48720, the dissolution is difficult, the viscosity is high, and the processing is difficult.
In any embodiment, the shearing force between the insulating protective layer and the shell is 3-20 mpa, preferably 6-20 mpa, and preferably 6.4-20 mpa.
Along with the increase of the shearing force, the connecting force between the insulating protective layer and the shell is increased, the insulating protective layer is not easy to fall off, and the service life of the battery shell is longer.
In any embodiment, the swelling rate of the insulating protective layer soaked in the electrolyte for 24 hours reaches 0.01% -1%, preferably 0.01% -0.5%.
With the reduction of the swelling rate, the electrolyte resistance of the insulating protective layer is increased, the blocking time is longer, the insulating protective layer is not easy to fall off, and the service life of the battery shell is longer.
In any embodiment, the insulating protective layer has a falling rate of 1% or more when immersed in an electrolyte at 60 ℃ for 1 monthAnd (3) downwards. The electrolyte for testing the exfoliation rate includes dimethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, and lithium salt, and dimethyl carbonate: vinyl carbonate volume ratio = 1:1 lithium salt is 1mol/L LiPF 6
Since batteries often operate in high temperature environments, the high temperature resistance of the insulating protective layer also has a significant impact on the battery safety. The high temperature resistance of the insulating protective layer is improved, so that the insulating protective layer still has higher adhesive force after being exposed to high temperature for a long time, and is not easy to fall off.
In any embodiment, the thickness of the insulating protective layer is 1-1000 μm.
The insulating protective layer is not easy to fall off and swell, so the thickness on the shell is not easy to be limited, and the thickness can be adjusted within a wide range of 1-1000 mu m.
In any embodiment, the inner wall of the housing is provided with the insulating protective layer.
Preferably, both the inner wall and the outer wall of the housing are provided with the insulating protection layer.
The service life of the battery shell is longer after the inner wall and the outer wall are provided with the insulating protective layers, and the safety is higher.
In any embodiment, the insulating protective layer is a resin protective layer.
In any embodiment, the housing comprises at least one of: an aluminum shell and an aluminum alloy shell.
The second aspect of the present application also provides a method for manufacturing a battery case, comprising:
coating a resin prepolymer on at least part of the surface of the shell, and then crosslinking and curing;
the resin prepolymer has the structure of the following general formula:
wherein,
n1=0~2,
n2=0~2,
m=1~200,
q=1~200。
the resin prepolymer adopted in the application can be stably combined on the surface of the shell through chemical bonds after crosslinking and curing, so that the shearing force between the formed insulating protective layer and the shell can reach at least 1-20 MPa. Meanwhile, the resin prepolymer can form a stable and uniform three-dimensional network structure after being crosslinked and solidified, is resistant to electrolyte invasion and difficult to swell, and the swelling rate of the resin prepolymer after being soaked in the electrolyte for 24 hours can reach a lower range of 0.01% -10%. Therefore, the application uses the mode of coating and then crosslinking the prepolymer of a specific type and then carrying out in-situ polymerization on the surface of the shell, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the shell and ensuring that the insulating protective layer is not easy to fall off and swell.
In any embodiment, the weight percentage of hydroxymethyl in the resin prepolymer is 5% -22.89%, preferably 15% -20%.
The content of the hydroxymethyl is controlled within the reasonable range, so that the low swelling rate and the high mechanical strength can be achieved. If the hydroxymethyl content is less than 5%, the crosslinking degree of the prepolymer after curing is low, and swelling is easy to occur when the prepolymer is immersed in electrolyte. If the hydroxymethyl content is more than 22.89%, the crosslinking degree after curing is too high, the rigidity is too strong, the mechanical strength is poor, and the fracture is easy.
In any embodiment, the molecular weight of the resin prepolymer is 442 to 48720, preferably 4000 to 30000.
The molecular weight is controlled within the above reasonable range, and the processability and electrolyte resistance can be both achieved. If the molecular weight is less than 442, the polymer is hardly polymerized and crosslinked to form a polymer, and the electrolyte resistance is poor. If the molecular weight is >48720, the dissolution is difficult, the viscosity is high, and the processing is difficult.
In any embodiment, the crosslinking curing comprises: reacting for 5 to 500 minutes at the temperature of 25 to 300 ℃.
If the curing temperature is too low, the curing takes too long. If the curing temperature is too high, the case is easily damaged. The curing temperature and time are controlled within the above ranges, so that economic benefits and product quality can be considered.
In any embodiment, the crosslinking curing further comprises: adding a curing agent;
the curing agent preferably comprises at least one of the following: hexamethylenetetramine, ethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, p-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, terephthalic acid, maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride;
the mass ratio of the curing agent to the resin prepolymer is 1% -20% and 99% -80%.
The addition of the curing agent helps to improve the reaction efficiency.
In any embodiment, the shell surface is further subjected to an activation treatment prior to the coating: and (3) performing at least one of laser cleaning, plasma cleaning and acid cleaning on the surface of the shell.
After the shell surface is treated by adopting the modes of laser cleaning, plasma cleaning, acid cleaning and the like, the shell surface can form a shell body rich in active groups such as-OH, -C=O, O and-COOH, and the surface is rough and the surface area is larger. The above activation treatment can increase the shear force between the insulation shield and the shell both chemically and physically, as the above reactive groups facilitate covalent bonding with the prepolymer and the roughened surface can promote mechanical interlocking of the polymer with the shell.
A third aspect of the present application provides a secondary battery comprising the battery case of the first aspect of the present application or the battery case prepared according to the method of the second aspect of the present application.

The corrosion resistance and insulation of the battery case are very important for the life and safety of the battery, since the battery case is charged by long-term contact with the electrolyte and the internal cells. In order to improve corrosion resistance and insulation of a battery case, a corrosion-resistant insulating layer is generally added to the case, and a resin is generally used for the insulating layer. However, the resin insulation layer is attached to the surface of the housing by means of adhesion or the like, and the adhesive force is limited, so that the resin insulation layer is easy to fall off. In addition, weak van der Waals force is adopted between the molecular chains of the resin at present, the solvent molecules can permeate between the molecular chains of the insulating layer after being soaked in the electrolyte for a long time, so that the insulating layer swells, an ion passage is formed between the shell and the bare cell, and corrosion of the shell cannot be effectively prevented.
In order to improve the bonding force between the insulating layer and the shell and reduce the swelling rate, the application provides a battery shell, which comprises a shell, wherein at least part of the surface of the shell is provided with an insulating protective layer;
The shearing force between the insulating protective layer and the shell is 1-20 MPa, and the insulating protective layer comprises resin after cross-linking and curing of a resin prepolymer with the following general structure:
wherein n1=0 to 2, n2=0 to 2, m=1 to 200, q=1 to 200.
The swelling ratio of the application refers to the change degree of the adhesion volume of the insulating protective layer after soaking in the electrolyte for 24 hours. The specific test process is as follows: the sample was immersed in the electrolyte for 24 hours, and the dimensional change before and after the immersion was measured, and the swelling ratio= (immersion)Post-soak volume-pre-soak volume)/pre-soak volume is 100%. The electrolyte for swelling ratio includes dimethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, and lithium salt, and dimethyl carbonate: vinyl carbonate volume ratio = 1:1 lithium salt is 1mol/L LiPF 6
Therefore, the resin after the cross-linking and curing of the prepolymer with the structural formula is used as the insulating protective layer, and compared with other materials, the shearing force between the resin and the shell is improved, namely the adhesive force of the insulating protective layer on the shell is improved, so that the falling-off time of the insulating protective layer is prolonged.
The resin formed by using the prepolymer as an insulating protective layer can also reduce the swelling rate. For example, the swelling rate of the insulating protective layer in electrolyte soaked for 24 hours can reach 0.01% -10%; the electrolyte for swelling ratio includes dimethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, and lithium salt, and dimethyl carbonate: vinyl carbonate volume ratio = 1:1 lithium salt is 1mol/L LiPF 6 . The corrosion resistance of the insulating protective layer in the electrolyte can be improved by reducing the swelling rate, and the swelling is delayed, so that the problem that the film layer falls off after the electrolyte is soaked for a long time is solved. Therefore, the invention solves the problem of insufficient corrosion resistance of the shell from various aspects.
The above resin prepolymer has two end regions and two repeating units, specifically as indicated by the dashed boxes in fig. 1, comprising: end region one, repeat unit one, end region two, and repeat unit two.
In the above resin prepolymer, the chemical bonds interconnecting the first terminal region, the first repeating unit, the second terminal region and the second repeating unit may be any positions ortho, meta or para to the phenolic hydroxyl group. The hydroxymethyl group of the repeating unit II may be located at any position of ortho-, meta-, or para-position with respect to the phenolic hydroxyl group. The hydroxymethyl groups in the first and second end regions may be at any position ortho, meta, or para to the phenolic hydroxyl group.
The hydroxymethyl group attached to the benzene ring of the terminal region one may be 0, 1 or 2, i.e., n1 may be 0, 1 or 2.
The hydroxymethyl group attached to the benzene ring of the terminal region two may be 0, 1 or 2, i.e., n2 may be 0, 1 or 2.
m may be any positive integer of 1 to 200, and further may be 1 to 10, 10 to 100, 50 to 100, 100 to 200, or the like.
q may be any positive integer of 1 to 200, and further may be 1 to 10, 10 to 100, 50 to 100, 100 to 200, or the like.
If m or q is too large, the linear chain segment length or the molecular weight is too large, the electrolyte resistance is poor, and the solubility is low.
In some embodiments, the hydroxymethyl content of the resin prepolymer is 5% -22.89%, including but not limited to 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 22.89%, etc., and may also range from 15% -20%, 10% -15%, etc. Hydroxymethyl content refers to weight percent.
The content of the hydroxymethyl is controlled within the reasonable range, so that the low swelling rate and the high mechanical strength can be achieved. If the hydroxymethyl content is less than 5%, the crosslinking degree of the prepolymer after curing is low, and swelling is easy to occur when the prepolymer is immersed in electrolyte. If the hydroxymethyl content is more than 22.89%, the crosslinking degree after curing is too high, the rigidity is too strong, the mechanical strength is poor, and the fracture is easy.
The hydroxymethyl content in the present application refers to weight percent.
In some embodiments, the molecular weight of the resin prepolymer is 442-48720, including but not limited to 442, 500, 1000, 3000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 30000, 40000, 48720, etc., and may also range from 4000-30000, 2000-5000, etc.
The molecular weight is controlled within the above reasonable range, and the processability and electrolyte resistance can be both achieved. If the molecular weight is less than 442, the polymer is hardly polymerized and crosslinked to form a polymer, and the electrolyte resistance is poor. If the molecular weight is >48720, the dissolution is difficult, the viscosity is high, and the processing is difficult.
The molecular weight in the present application means an average molecular weight.
The shell in the application refers to a main body with a supporting function, and preferably adopts materials with the characteristics of light weight, low cost, easy processing, good mechanical performance or good thermal conductivity, and the like, including but not limited to an aluminum shell, an aluminum alloy shell and the like. The shearing force between the insulating protective layer and the shell can be any value within the range of 1-20 MPa, including but not limited to 1MPa, 2MPa, 3MPa, 4MPa, 5MPa, 6MPa, 7MPa, 8MPa, 10MPa, 11MPa, 12MPa, 13MPa, 14MPa, 15MPa, 16MPa, 17MPa, 18MPa, 20MPa and the like, and the shearing force between the protective layer and the shell can be the same or different at different positions of the shell.
Generally, with the increase of the shearing force, the connecting force between the insulating protective layer and the shell is increased, the insulating protective layer is not easy to fall off, and the service life of the battery shell is longer. In some embodiments, the shear force between the protective layer and the shell is 3-20 mpa, 6-20 mpa, 6.4-20 mpa, 8-20 mpa, 10-20 mpa, 12-20 mpa, 15-20 mpa, or the like.
The swelling rate of the insulating protective layer soaked in the electrolyte for 24 hours can be any value within the range of 0.01% -10%, including but not limited to 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.05%, 0.07%, 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% and the like. In general, along with the reduction of the swelling rate, the electrolyte resistance of the insulating protective layer is increased, the blocking time is longer, the insulating protective layer is not easy to fall off, and the service life of the battery shell is longer. In some embodiments, the swelling rate of the insulating protective layer soaked in the electrolyte for 24 hours reaches 0.01% -5%, 0.01% -1%, 0.01% -0.5%, 0.01% -0.1% or 0.01% -0.5% and the like.
Since batteries often operate in high temperature environments, the high temperature resistance of the insulating protective layer also has a significant impact on the battery safety. The high temperature resistance of the insulating protective layer is improved, so that the insulating protective layer still has higher adhesive force after being exposed to high temperature for a long time, and is not easy to fall off. For this reason, in some embodiments, the insulating protective layer has a falling rate of 1% or less when immersed in an electrolyte at 60 ℃ for 1 month. The shedding rate of the application refers to the ratio of the shedding area of the insulating protective layer to the original area after being soaked in the electrolyte of the commercial lithium battery at 60 ℃ for 1 month. Specific detection conditions include: the commercial lithium battery electrolyte was soaked for 1 month at 60 ℃ with the rate of shedding = shedding area/total area, the total area being the area of the insulation protection layer before soaking. In the test process, the insulation protection layer is taken as falling off, foaming and peeling. The composition of the commercial lithium battery electrolyte is as follows: dimethyl carbonate: vinyl carbonate volume ratio = 1:1 lithium salt is 1mol/L LiPF 6
The thickness of the insulating protective layer on the shell is not easy to fall off and swell, so the thickness of the insulating protective layer on the shell is not easy to limit and can be adjusted within a wide range of 1-1000 mu m, including but not limited to 1-10 mu m, 10-100 mu m, 100-1000 mu m, 10-50 mu m, 50-100 mu m, 100-500 mu m, 500-1000 mu m and the like.
The arrangement position and the area of the insulating protective layer can be adjusted, for example, the insulating protective layer is arranged on the inner wall of the shell, or the insulating protective layer is arranged on the outer wall of the shell, or the protective layers are arranged on the inner wall and the outer wall of the shell.
The material of the insulating protective layer is not particularly limited, and is generally insulating, and the shearing force, swelling ratio and high temperature resistance can meet the above conditions, including inorganic and materials, organic materials or inorganic-organic composite materials, preferably resins, which are easy to process and wide in types.
The method for preparing the battery shell with the characteristics of the insulating protective layer can possibly comprise a plurality of methods, and the application provides a preparation method with simple flow and easily available raw materials, which comprises the following steps:
coating a resin prepolymer on at least part of the surface of the shell, and then crosslinking and curing;
the resin prepolymer has the structure of the following general formula:
wherein,
n1=0~2,
n2=0~2,
m=1~200,
q=1~200。
the above resin prepolymer is the same as described above, having two end regions and two repeating units, specifically as indicated by the dashed boxes in FIG. 1, comprising: end region one, repeat unit one, end region two, and repeat unit two.
In the above resin prepolymer, the chemical bonds interconnecting the first terminal region, the first repeating unit, the second terminal region and the second repeating unit may be any positions ortho, meta or para to the phenolic hydroxyl group. The hydroxymethyl group of the repeating unit II may be located at any position of ortho-, meta-, or para-position with respect to the phenolic hydroxyl group. The hydroxymethyl groups in the first and second end regions may be at any position ortho, meta, or para to the phenolic hydroxyl group.
The hydroxymethyl group attached to the benzene ring of the terminal region one may be 0, 1 or 2, i.e., n1 may be 0, 1 or 2.
The hydroxymethyl group attached to the benzene ring of the terminal region two may be 0, 1 or 2, i.e., n2 may be 0, 1 or 2.
m may be any positive integer of 1 to 200, and further may be 1 to 10, 10 to 100, 50 to 100, 100 to 200, or the like.
q may be any positive integer of 1 to 200, and further may be 1 to 10, 10 to 100, 50 to 100, 100 to 200, or the like.
If m or q is too large, the linear chain segment length or the molecular weight is too large, the electrolyte resistance is poor, and the solubility is low.
Coating in the present application includes, but is not limited to, spraying, painting, dipping, and the like.
Crosslinking curing in the present application includes, but is not limited to, thermal curing, ultraviolet curing, and the like.
The resin prepolymer adopted by the application has high active group content and takes benzene ring as a framework, so that on one hand, the resin prepolymer can be stably combined with the surface of a shell through chemical bonds after crosslinking and curing, and the shearing force between the formed insulating protective layer and the shell can reach at least 1-20 MPa; on the other hand, after crosslinking and curing, a stable and uniform three-dimensional network structure can be formed, electrolyte invasion is resisted, swelling is not easy to occur, and the swelling rate in the electrolyte soaking for 24 hours reaches a lower range of 0.01% -10%.
Therefore, the application uses the mode of coating and then crosslinking the prepolymer of a specific type and then carrying out in-situ polymerization on the surface of the shell, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the shell and ensuring that the insulating protective layer is not easy to fall off and swell.
On this basis, the hydroxymethyl content and molecular weight in the prepolymer, the crosslinking curing conditions, the surface activation treatment and the like can be adjusted to improve the shearing force of the insulating protective layer and the shell, or to reduce the swelling rate of the protective layer, or to improve the temperature resistance and the like, as listed below.
In some embodiments, the hydroxymethyl content of the resin prepolymer is 5% -22.89%, including but not limited to 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 22.89%, etc., and may also range from 15% -20%, 10% -15%, etc. Hydroxymethyl content refers to weight percent.
The content of the hydroxymethyl is controlled within the reasonable range, so that the low swelling rate and the high mechanical strength can be achieved. If the hydroxymethyl content is less than 5%, the crosslinking degree of the prepolymer after curing is low, and swelling is easy to occur when the prepolymer is immersed in electrolyte. If the hydroxymethyl content is more than 22.89%, the crosslinking degree after curing is too high, the rigidity is too strong, the mechanical strength is poor, and the fracture is easy.
The hydroxymethyl content in the present application refers to weight percent.
In some embodiments, the molecular weight of the resin prepolymer is 442-48720, including but not limited to 500, 1000, 3000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 30000, 40000, 48720, etc., and may also range from 4000-30000, 2000-5000, etc.
The molecular weight is controlled within the above reasonable range, and the processability and electrolyte resistance can be both achieved. If the molecular weight is less than 442, the polymer is hardly polymerized and crosslinked to form a polymer, and the electrolyte resistance is poor. If the molecular weight is >48720, the dissolution is difficult, the viscosity is high, and the processing is difficult.
The molecular weight in the present application means an average molecular weight.
In some embodiments, crosslinking curing comprises: reacting for 5 to 500 minutes at the temperature of 25 to 300 ℃.
If the curing temperature is too low, the curing takes too long. If the curing temperature is too high, the case is easily damaged. The curing temperature and time are controlled within the above ranges, so that economic benefits and product quality can be considered.
In some embodiments, the crosslinking curing further comprises: and adding a curing agent. The addition of the curing agent helps to improve the reaction efficiency.
The curing agent may include at least one of the following: hexamethylenetetramine, ethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, p-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, terephthalic acid, maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride.
The mass ratio of the curing agent to the resin prepolymer is 1-20% to 99-80%.
In some embodiments, the shell surface is also subjected to an activation treatment prior to coating: and (3) performing at least one of laser cleaning, plasma cleaning and acid cleaning on the surface of the shell.
After the shell surface is treated by adopting the modes of laser cleaning, plasma cleaning, acid cleaning and the like, the shell surface can form a shell body rich in active groups such as-OH, -C=O, O and-COOH, and the surface is rough and the surface area is larger. The above activation treatment can increase the shear force between the insulation shield and the shell both chemically and physically, as the above reactive groups facilitate covalent bonding with the prepolymer and the roughened surface can promote mechanical interlocking of the polymer with the shell.
The battery shell and the battery shell obtained by the preparation method can be used for any battery type, including but not limited to lithium batteries, sodium batteries and the like.
