The application relates to the technical field of electronic products, in particular to a battery, electronic equipment and a processing method of a diaphragm.
Background
With the development of economy, electronic devices such as portable electronic products, unmanned aerial vehicles, electric vehicles, and the like are now urgently required to have higher energy density, higher power density, longer cycle life, and safer batteries. The energy density of the existing lithium ion battery using graphite as the negative electrode is close to the upper limit, and the requirements of users on the cruising and standby of the electronic equipment cannot be met.

The metal cathode can greatly improve the energy density of the battery and remarkably improve the user experience. However, the metal negative electrode has dendrite growth phenomenon, which not only causes the degradation of battery capacity and life, but also causes problems such as separator penetration, battery short circuit, and even thermal runaway explosion, thus impeding the commercialization process of the high energy density metal negative electrode battery.

The diaphragm is arranged between the positive electrode and the metal negative electrode, and comprises a base film and a ferroelectric material layer arranged on the surface of the base film facing the metal negative electrode. The ferroelectric material layer comprises a ferroelectric material. The ferroelectric material generates electric polarization under the action of a charging electric field between the positive electrode and the metal negative electrode, the direction of the electric polarization is opposite to that of the charging electric field, and the intensity of the electric polarization is positively related to that of the charging electric field.
In this way, in the charging process, under the action of the charging electric field, the ferroelectric material generates a reverse polarization electric field due to the ferroelectric effect, and the direction of the reverse polarization electric field is opposite to that of the charging electric field. On this basis, since the electric polarization intensity of the ferroelectric material is positively correlated with the intensity of the charging electric field, the reverse polarization electric field generated at the site where the intensity of the charging electric field is stronger is also stronger. And the electric field intensity of the charging electric field is stronger at the microscopic convex part and weaker at the microscopic concave part. Therefore, the ferroelectric material has a strong reverse polarization electric field generated at a portion opposed to the microscopic bump and a weak reverse polarization electric field generated at a portion opposed to the microscopic depression. In this way, when electrolyte ions from the positive electrode diffuse to the position of the ferroelectric material opposite to the microscopic protrusions, the electrolyte ions are subjected to the action of a strong reverse polarization electric field, so that the electrolyte ions further move to the surrounding area of the microscopic protrusions and are not directly deposited at the microscopic protrusions, and the electrolyte ions are uniformly distributed on the surface of the metal negative electrode, thereby inhibiting dendrite growth, ensuring the capacity and service life of the battery and improving the use safety of the battery.

When the ambient temperature of the ferroelectric material is above the curie temperature, the ferroelectric material changes from a low temperature ferroelectric phase to a high temperature non-ferroelectric phase, resulting in the disappearance of the ferroelectric effect of the ferroelectric material. And the internal temperature of the battery in the charging process is usually less than 100 ℃, so when the Curie temperature (Tc) of the ferroelectric material is more than or equal to 100 ℃, the ferroelectric material in the battery has ferroelectric effect in the whole charging process, and can effectively inhibit the growth of dendrites in the whole charging process.

Therefore, the ferroelectric material has a strong reverse polarization electric field generated at a portion opposed to the microscopic bump and a weak reverse polarization electric field generated at a portion opposed to the microscopic depression. In this way, when electrolyte ions from the positive electrode diffuse to the position of the ferroelectric material opposite to the microscopic protrusions, the electrolyte ions are subjected to the action of a strong reverse polarization electric field, so that the electrolyte ions further move to the surrounding area of the microscopic protrusions and are not directly deposited at the microscopic protrusions, and the electrolyte ions are uniformly distributed on the surface of the metal negative electrode, thereby inhibiting dendrite growth, ensuring the capacity and service life of the battery and improving the use safety of the battery.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an internal structure of a battery according to some embodiments of the application. In this embodiment, the battery is a metal negative electrode battery, and the specific metal negative electrode is a lithium metal negative electrode. The metal negative electrode cell shown in fig. 1 is taken as an example, and the growth cause and the damage of dendrites are analyzed.
The core components of the lithium metal battery mainly comprise a positive electrode 1, a metal negative electrode 2, electrolyte 3 and a separator 4. The separator 4 is disposed between the positive electrode 1 and the metal negative electrode 2. When a lithium metal battery is charged, lithium ions (Li + ) Is extracted from the crystal lattice of the positive electrode 1, passes through the electrolyte 3, and passes through the separator 4, and is separated from electrons (e - ) The reaction chemical formula of the metal anode 2 is as follows: li (Li) + +e - Li. When the lithium metal battery is discharged, lithium (Li) of the metal anode 2 loses electrons (e - ) Formation of lithium ion (Li) + ) The reaction chemical formula is as follows: li-Li + +e - Lithium ion (Li) + ) Through the electrolyte 3 and through the separator 4, into the lattice of the positive electrode 1.
In the above-described charging process, microscopic roughness is inevitably present on the surface of the lithium metal negative electrode 02 after molding, resulting in uneven distribution of electric field intensity on the surface of the lithium metal negative electrode 02. Specifically, during charging, electrons (e - ) The distribution is denser at the tip (namely the microcosmic convex part), the electric field intensity is higher, the distribution is sparser at the microcosmic concave part, and the electric field intensity is lower. Thus, during the charging processIn the initial stage, lithium ions (Li + ) Keeps moving perpendicular to the direction of the lithium metal cathode 02 under the action of the electric field force, and when moving to the vicinity of the microscopic protrusions with high electric field strength, the lithium ions (Li + ) To the microscopic projections, whereby lithium ions (Li + ) Selectively deposited on the microscopic bump portions, so that more lithium is deposited on the tip portion, and the size is further increased, thereby forming lithium dendrites. Moreover, as the number of charging times increases, the size of lithium dendrites also increases.
Based on the growth process of the lithium dendrite, as the lithium dendrite grows, the specific surface area of the lithium dendrite is further increased, the reactivity with the electrolyte is further improved, and the side reaction between the lithium dendrite and the electrolyte is increased, so that the coulomb efficiency of the lithium anode is reduced, and the battery cycle stability is reduced, thereby causing the capacity and service life of the battery to be reduced. In addition, the increase of side reactions further generates heat, so that potential safety hazards exist for the battery, and thermal runaway explosion is easy to cause. Meanwhile, along with the growth of lithium dendrites, when the lithium dendrites grow to a certain extent, the lithium dendrites penetrate through the diaphragm to cause short circuit of the anode and the cathode, further cause safety problems and shorten the service life of the battery.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, please refer to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an internal structure of a battery according to still another embodiment of the present application. In the battery of the present application, compared with the battery of fig. 1. The separator 4 includes a base film 41, and a ferroelectric material layer 42 is provided on a side of the base film 41 facing the metal anode 2, the ferroelectric material layer 42 including a ferroelectric material. In the charging process, under the action of a charging electric field between the anode 1 and the metal cathode 2, the ferroelectric material generates a reverse polarization electric field due to ferroelectric effect, and the direction of the reverse polarization electric field is opposite to that of the charging electric field. Further, the reverse polarization electric field generated at the portion where the charging electric field is stronger is also stronger. Therefore, the ferroelectric material has a strong reverse polarization electric field intensity at a portion opposed to the microscopic bump having a strong electric field, and a weak reverse polarization electric field intensity at a portion opposed to the microscopic depression having a weak electric field. In this way, when lithium ions (li+) from the positive electrode 1 diffuse to the position on the ferroelectric material opposite to the microscopic protrusions with strong electric field strength, the lithium ions (li+) move to the surrounding area of the microscopic protrusions and are not directly deposited at the microscopic protrusions, so that the lithium ions (li+) are uniformly distributed on the surface of the metal negative electrode 2, and finally, lithium dendrites are suppressed and a compact and uniform lithium deposition layer is formed.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5, the separator 4 may be in a sheet shape, and the separator 4 is stacked with the positive electrode 1 and the metal negative electrode 2.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the separator 4, the positive electrode 1, the separator 4, and the metal negative electrode 2 are sequentially stacked to form a membrane structure, and the membrane structure is wound to form a wound bare cell. In other embodiments, the positive electrode 1, the separator 4, and the metal negative electrode 2 may be sequentially alternately and stacked to form a stacked bare cell. Of course, the positive electrode 1, the separator 4, and the metal negative electrode 2 may be disposed in the case 0 of the battery 10 in other ways, and are not particularly limited herein.
The structure and manufacturing method of the battery separator 4 will be mainly described below.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic view of the separator 4 in the battery 10 shown in fig. 5. The diaphragm 4 includes a base film 41 and a ferroelectric material layer 42.
The base film 41 is a porous film. For example, the material of the base film 41 may be a polyolefin porous film, a polyimide porous film, or the like. In this way, the base film 41 can function as an insulating barrier, and at the same time, the pores in the base film 41 can allow the above-described electrolyte ions to pass through.
The base film 41 includes opposing first and second surfaces S1 and S2. When the separator 4 is applied to the battery 10 shown in fig. 5, the first surface S1 faces the positive electrode 1, and the first surface S1 faces away from the metal negative electrode 2; the second surface S2 faces the metal cathode 2, and the second surface S2 faces away from the anode 1.
The ferroelectric material layer 42 is disposed on the second surface S2. It should be noted that the ferroelectric material layer 42 may be directly contacted to the second surface S2 or may be separated by other material layers, and this embodiment is exemplified by the fact that the ferroelectric material layer 42 is directly contacted to the second surface S2, which should not be construed as a specific limitation of the present application.
The ferroelectric material layer 42 includes a ferroelectric material, which is one type of ferroelectric material satisfying the following two conditions. Condition one: the ferroelectric material generates an electric polarization under the effect of a charging electric field between the positive electrode 1 and the metal negative electrode 2, the direction of the electric polarization being opposite to the direction of the charging electric field. Condition II: the electric polarization intensity of the ferroelectric material is positively correlated with the intensity of the charging electric field, that is, the greater the intensity of the charging electric field, the greater the electric polarization intensity of the ferroelectric material.
The charging electric field refers to an electric field formed between the positive electrode 1 and the metal negative electrode 2 in the battery when a preset charging voltage is applied to the positive electrode 1 and the metal negative electrode 2 during charging. The relation between the intensity E of the charging electric field and the preset charging voltage U satisfies the following conditions: e=u/D, where D is the distance between the positive electrode 1 and the metal negative electrode 2 in meters (m), the preset charging voltage U is in volts (V), and the strength E of the charging electric field is in volts per meter (V/m). Wherein the preset charging voltage is at least one of the designed charging voltages of the battery, which is generally identified on the surface of the battery product or within the specification of the battery product. The design charge voltage of the battery may include one or more fixed values or may include one or more fixed ranges.
In this way, in the charging process, under the action of the charging electric field, the ferroelectric material generates a reverse polarization electric field due to the ferroelectric effect, and the direction of the reverse polarization electric field is opposite to that of the charging electric field.
On the basis of the above, since the electric polarization intensity of the ferroelectric material is positively correlated with the intensity of the charging electric field, the reverse polarization electric field generated at the site where the intensity of the charging electric field is stronger is also stronger. And the electric field intensity of the charging electric field is stronger at the microscopic convex part and weaker at the microscopic concave part. Therefore, the ferroelectric material has a strong reverse polarization electric field generated at a portion opposed to the microscopic bump and a weak reverse polarization electric field generated at a portion opposed to the microscopic depression.
In this way, when electrolyte ions from the positive electrode 1 diffuse to the position of the ferroelectric material opposite to the microscopic protrusions, the electrolyte ions are subjected to the action of a strong reverse polarization electric field, so that the electrolyte ions further move to the surrounding areas of the microscopic protrusions and are not directly deposited at the microscopic protrusions, and the electrolyte ions are uniformly distributed on the surface of the metal negative electrode 2, thereby inhibiting dendrite growth, ensuring the capacity and service life of the battery, and improving the use safety of the battery.
In the above embodiments, ferroelectric materials include, but are not limited to, ferroelectric polymers and ferroelectric ceramic materials.
Among them, ferroelectric polymers include, but are not limited to, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ferroelectric polymers, odd nylon (odd numbesed nylons), vinylidene Dicyan (VDCN) copolymers, and aromatic and aliphatic polyureas. These ferroelectric polymers are organic ferroelectrics.
The ferroelectric ceramic material is an inorganic ferroelectric, including but not limited to barium titanate-calcium stannate and barium titanate-barium zirconate series high dielectric constant ferroelectric ceramic, barium titanate-bismuth stannate series ferroelectric ceramic with low dielectric constant change rate, barium titanate-calcium zirconate-bismuth niobate zirconate and barium titanate-barium stannate series high voltage ferroelectric ceramic, bismuth polytitanate and low-loss ferroelectric ceramic of solid solution system composed of strontium titanate and the like.

The ferroelectric ceramic material has higher dielectric constant, and the generated reverse polarization electric field has higher intensity under the premise of a certain charging electric field, so that electrolyte ions can be effectively dispersed to the surrounding area of the microcosmic convex part in the charging process, and the growth of dendrites can be effectively inhibited.
In some embodiments, the ferroelectric material is a relaxor ferroelectric material. In particular, the relaxor ferroelectric material includes, but is not limited to, magnesium lead niobate (Pb (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ) Zinc lead niobate (Pb (Zn) 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 ) Scandium lead tantalate (Pb (Sc) 1/2 Ta 1/2 )O 3 ) Indium barium niobate-lead titanate ((1-x) Ba (In) 0.5 Nb 0.5 )O 3 -xPbTiO 3 ) (wherein 0<x<1) Bismuth sodium titanate (Bi) 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 ) Bismuth ferrite-barium titanate (BiFeO) 3 -BaTiO 3 ) And the like.
The energy required by the movement of ions in the relaxation ferroelectric material is lower, the relaxation ferroelectric material can have higher polarization intensity, electrolyte ions can be effectively dispersed to the surrounding area of a microcosmic bulge part in the charging process, and the growth of dendrites can be effectively inhibited.
In some embodiments, the ferroelectric material is a lead-free ferroelectric material. The lead-free ferroelectric material does not contain lead element, is environment-friendly and causes less environmental pollution.
In some embodiments, the curie temperature (Tc) of the ferroelectric material may be greater than or equal to 100 ℃. Specifically, the curie temperature (Tc) of the ferroelectric material may be 120 ℃, 150 ℃, 180 ℃, 200 ℃, 300 ℃, 400 ℃, or 500 ℃. When the ambient temperature of the ferroelectric material is below the curie temperature, the ferroelectric material has ferroelectric effect, can generate electric polarization under the action of a charging electric field, and enables the direction of the electric polarization to be opposite to the direction of the charging electric field, and the electric polarization intensity of the ferroelectric material is positively correlated with the intensity of the charging electric field. When the ambient temperature of the ferroelectric material is above the curie temperature, the ferroelectric material changes from a low temperature ferroelectric phase to a high temperature non-ferroelectric phase, resulting in the disappearance of the ferroelectric effect of the ferroelectric material. And the internal temperature of the battery in the charging process is usually less than 100 ℃, so when the Curie temperature (Tc) of the ferroelectric material is more than or equal to 100 ℃, the ferroelectric material in the battery has ferroelectric effect in the whole charging process, and can effectively inhibit the growth of dendrites in the whole charging process.
In some embodiments, the ferroelectric material layer 42 includes a binder in addition to the ferroelectric material. The adhesive is adhered to the second surface S2, the ferroelectric material is in a powder form, and the ferroelectric material is dispersed in the adhesive. The adhesive is used to increase the bonding force of the ferroelectric material on the second surface S2, and the ferroelectric material is bonded on the second surface S2 by the adhesive.
In some embodiments, the above-described binder includes, but is not limited to, at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyimide (PI), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polydopamine (PDA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/styrene butadiene rubber (CMC/SBR), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyacrylic acid (PAA), lithium polyacrylate (LiPAA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polylactic acid (PLA), sodium Alginate (SA), poly-p-styrenesulfonic acid (PSS), lithium poly-p-styrenesulfonate (lipsp), and gelatin. Wherein the polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene is a copolymer of polyvinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene; the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/styrene-butadiene rubber is a mixture of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and styrene-butadiene rubber. These adhesives can enhance the bonding force of the ferroelectric material on the second surface S2, so that the ferroelectric material layer 42 is firmly bonded on the second surface S2.
In some embodiments, the ferroelectric material has a particle size on the order of nanometers, i.e., the ferroelectric material has a particle size greater than or equal to 1 nanometer (nm), less than 1000nm. In particular, the ferroelectric material may have a particle size of 1nm, 10nm, 20nm, 100nm, 200nm, 500nm, 800nm, 900nm or 950nm. Thus, the adhesive is easy to uniformly disperse in the adhesive, and the growth of dendrites can be effectively inhibited.
In some embodiments, the mass percent of ferroelectric material within ferroelectric material layer 42 is greater than or equal to 90%, and less than or equal to 98%. Specifically, the mass percent of ferroelectric material in ferroelectric material layer 42 may be 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, or 98%. In this range, the ferroelectric material has a moderate mass ratio, can effectively inhibit dendrite growth, and simultaneously reserves a sufficient design space for the adhesive to ensure the bonding force of the ferroelectric material on the second surface S2.

The base film 41 is a porous film, and the ferroelectric material layer 42 is a porous material layer. The pores d2 on the ferroelectric material layer 42 communicate with the pores d1 on the base film 41 to form communicating pores that penetrate through the surface of the base film 41 facing away from the ferroelectric material layer 42 and the surface of the ferroelectric material layer 42 facing away from the base film 41. In this way, electrolyte ions may pass through the communicating pores during charge and discharge of the battery 10, thereby avoiding the ferroelectric material layer 42 from interfering with the charge and discharge process.

Thus, the ferroelectric material layer 42 has a moderate thickness, can effectively inhibit dendrite growth, and has a low consumption and a low cost.
The application also provides a processing method of the diaphragm. The separator is applied between a positive electrode and a metal negative electrode in a battery. Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a diaphragm according to some embodiments of the present application. The processing method includes the following step S10.
Step S10: a ferroelectric material layer is provided on a single-sided surface of the base film.
Wherein the base film is a porous film. For example, the material of the base film may be a polyolefin porous film, a polyimide porous film, or the like.
In addition, the ferroelectric material layer comprises a ferroelectric material, the ferroelectric material generates electric polarization under the action of a charging electric field between the anode and the metal cathode, the direction of the electric polarization is opposite to that of the charging electric field, and the electric polarization intensity is positively related to the intensity of the charging electric field.

It should be noted that step S10 may include directly disposing the ferroelectric material layer on the single-sided surface of the base film so that the ferroelectric material layer is in contact with the single-sided surface of the base film. Step S10 may also include: an intermediate material layer is arranged on the surface of one side of the base film, and a ferroelectric material layer is arranged on the surface of the intermediate material layer, which is away from the base film. The intermediate material layer includes, but is not limited to, a glue layer.
When the diaphragm prepared in the step S1 is applied between the positive electrode and the metal negative electrode in the battery and the surface of the base film provided with the ferroelectric material layer faces the metal negative electrode, in the charging process, under the action of a charging electric field, the ferroelectric material generates a reverse polarization electric field due to the ferroelectric effect, and the direction of the reverse polarization electric field is opposite to that of the charging electric field.
On the basis of the above, since the electric polarization intensity of the ferroelectric material is positively correlated with the intensity of the charging electric field, the reverse polarization electric field generated at the site where the intensity of the charging electric field is stronger is also stronger. And the electric field intensity of the charging electric field is stronger at the microscopic convex part and weaker at the microscopic concave part. Therefore, the ferroelectric material has a strong reverse polarization electric field generated at a portion opposed to the microscopic bump and a weak reverse polarization electric field generated at a portion opposed to the microscopic depression.
In this way, when electrolyte ions from the positive electrode diffuse to the position of the ferroelectric material opposite to the microscopic protrusions, the electrolyte ions are subjected to the action of a strong reverse polarization electric field, so that the electrolyte ions further move to the surrounding area of the microscopic protrusions and are not directly deposited at the microscopic protrusions, and the electrolyte ions are uniformly distributed on the surface of the metal negative electrode, thereby inhibiting dendrite growth, ensuring the capacity and service life of the battery and improving the use safety of the battery.
In step S10, the ferroelectric material layer may be formed and adhesively fixed on the single-sided surface of the base film alone, or may be formed directly on the single-sided surface of the base film. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a specific flowchart of step S10 in the method for processing the diaphragm shown in fig. 8.

In addition, the ferroelectric material may be nano-sized ferroelectric material powder. This facilitates uniform dispersion in the organic solvent and the binder.
Further, the binder includes, but is not limited to, at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyimide (PI), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polydopamine (PDA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/styrene butadiene rubber (CMC/SBR), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyacrylic acid (PAA), lithium polyacrylate (LiPAA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polylactic acid (PLA), sodium Alginate (SA), poly-p-styrenesulfonic acid (PSS), lithium poly-p-styrenesulfonate (LiPSS), and gelatin.

Among them, the mixers include, but are not limited to, propeller type mixers, turbine type mixers, paddle type mixers, anchor type mixers, ribbon type mixers, magnetic heating mixers, hinge type mixers, variable frequency double layer mixers, and side entry type mixers.
In some embodiments, the mass percent of the organic solvent in the ferroelectric material slurry is greater than or equal to 20% and less than or equal to 40%. Specifically, the mass percentage of the organic solvent in the ferroelectric material slurry may be 20%, 22%, 24%, 26%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 34%, 36%, 38% or 40%.
In the ferroelectric material slurry, the mass percentage of the ferroelectric material is greater than or equal to 54% and less than or equal to 78.4%. Specifically, in the ferroelectric material slurry, the mass percentage of the ferroelectric material may be 54%, 56%, 58%, 60%, 62%, 65%, 68%, 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 78.2%, or 78.4%.
In the ferroelectric material slurry, the mass percentage of the binder is greater than or equal to 1.2% and less than or equal to 8%. Specifically, the mass percentage of the binder in the ferroelectric material paste may be 1.2%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 7% or 8%.
Thus, the ferroelectric material and the binder are fully mixed, and the ferroelectric material has moderate viscosity and is convenient to be arranged on the base film.
Step S12: the ferroelectric material paste is disposed on a single-sided surface of the base film.
The ferroelectric material paste is provided at a thickness of 5 μm or more and 30 μm or less on a single-side surface of the base film.

Thus, the thickness of the ferroelectric material slurry is moderate, the growth of dendrites can be effectively inhibited, and the consumption is low and the cost is low. Meanwhile, the ferroelectric material slurry on the base film is dried in the following step S13, so that the thickness of the porous ferroelectric material layer obtained after the organic solvent in the ferroelectric material slurry volatilizes is moderate, the length of the pores in the ferroelectric material layer is smaller, the length of the communicating pores formed by communicating with the pores on the base film is smaller, the obstruction to the movement of electrolyte ions is smaller, and the charge and discharge efficiency can be ensured.
Specifically, step S12 may include: the ferroelectric material paste is disposed on a single side surface of the base film using a coating process. Wherein the coating process includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a knife coating process, a roll coating process, a dip coating process, and a spray coating process.

The drying process may be a drying process. The temperature of the drying may be greater than or equal to 70 ℃ and less than or equal to 90 ℃. Specifically, the temperature of the drying may be 70 ℃, 72 ℃, 74 ℃, 76 ℃, 78 ℃, 80 ℃, 84 ℃, 86 ℃, 88 ℃, or 90 ℃.
In this way, the ferroelectric material layer is directly formed on the single-side surface of the base film, and after the ferroelectric material slurry on the base film is dried, the ferroelectric material is tightly bonded on the base film under the action of the binder, so that the bonding strength of the ferroelectric material layer and the base film can be improved. The method is simple, the conditions are easy to control, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
And after the organic solvent volatilizes, a plurality of pores are formed on the ferroelectric material layer, and are respectively communicated with the plurality of pores on the base film to form communicated pores, wherein the communicated pores penetrate through the surface of the base film, which is opposite to the ferroelectric material layer, and the surface of the ferroelectric material layer, which is opposite to the base film. In this way, electrolyte ions can pass through the communicating pores during charge and discharge of the battery, thereby avoiding the ferroelectric material layer from interfering with the charge and discharge process.
