TABLE 2
From the above data, it can be seen that:
in embodiments of the present application, by providing a heat-resistant coating layer on a separator substrate, the heat-resistant coating layer includes a polymer, and a raw material silicone-modified polyester resin forming the polymer includes a specific structural unit; the isolating film of each embodiment of the application has higher film breaking temperature, which indicates that the isolating film has better high temperature resistance.
As can be seen from comparative examples 1 and 1 to 4, the barrier film of the present application has higher mechanical strength and more excellent high temperature resistance than the ceramic separator of bare film and conventional PVDF. Compared with the organic silicon modified polyester resin adopted in the application, if the polyester resin is not subjected to organic silicon modification or does not adopt the organic silicon modified polyester resin with the specific structure, the final prepared isolating film has poorer comprehensive performance. In particular, the high temperature resistance of the isolating film is relatively poor without modifying by adopting organic silicon; the organic silicon modified polyester resin with a specific structure is not adopted, namely groups such as methyl, benzene ring and the like are connected to silicon atoms, and the mechanical strength and the high temperature resistance of the isolating film are slightly poor, and the reason is mainly that the resin lacks reaction sites for crosslinking with a crosslinking curing agent, and the coating cannot form an interpenetrating crosslinked network.
Comparing examples 1 and 6-10, it can be found that the high temperature resistance of the barrier film is gradually improved with the increase of the silicon element content ratio in the organic silicon modified polyester resin, because the silicon-oxygen bond energy is higher and the energy required for breaking bond decomposition is larger. The more reactive alkoxy groups are simultaneously connected with silicon atoms, the more chemical crosslinking bonds are formed between the reactive alkoxy groups and the curing agent, and the higher the coating strength is.
In comparative examples 1 and 11-15, it can be found that the addition of the crosslinking curing agent can effectively improve the mechanical properties and high temperature resistance of the isolating film, the film breaking temperature of the isolating film can be increased to 242 ℃, and the puncture strength can also be increased to 723.1 gf, because the isocyanate curing agent can realize reactive crosslinking with the carboxyl end groups of the resin and the alkoxy groups connected to the silicon atoms, an interpenetrating crosslinked coating structure is formed, and further the hardness and the temperature resistance of the coating are improved.
In comparative examples 1 and 16, fumed silica did not affect the properties of the coating much, but during the preparation of the slurry, it was found that the slurry had a low viscosity and was prone to delamination in the rest state.
The present application is not limited to the above embodiment. The above embodiments are merely examples, and embodiments having substantially the same configuration and the same effects as those of the technical idea within the scope of the present application are included in the technical scope of the present application. Further, various modifications that can be made to the embodiments and other modes of combining some of the constituent elements in the embodiments, which are conceivable to those skilled in the art, are also included in the scope of the present application within the scope not departing from the gist of the present application.
