Further, the preferred sulfonation of hydrophilic treated is handled, if sulfonation adopts oleum processing, chlorosulfonic acid processing or anhydrous slufuric acid to handle any in handling, helps improving the self-discharge of battery.And sulfonation degree is preferably at 0.4~2wt%.
Pack into aforementioned in the battery of any battery diaphragm, all can improve self-discharge, be specially adapted to electric automobile (PEV) and hybrid vehicle (HEV).
Specify content of the present invention below.
The Splittable conjugate fiber (A) that the present invention is used, be that the methylpentene base polymer formed with poly-(4-methylpentene-1) or 4-methylpentene-1 and the copolymer of other alkene is as first composition, with the polyolefin polymers different or its copolymer with first composition as second composition, have two kinds of alternately adjacency configurations of compositions on the fiber section, at least a composition in two kinds of compositions can be split into more than two, its component units is continuous in the longitudinal direction, and all the part of component units must have the section configuration on exposed fiber surface.Particularly, first composition and second composition can preferably use as Fig. 1~arrangement shown in Figure 3.
As the first composition methylpentene base polymer of previous segmentation type composite fibre (A), can enumerate the copolymer of poly-(4-methylpentene-1) or 4-methylpentene-1 and other alkene.As other alkene of copolymerization, can enumerate for example ethene, propylene, 1-butylene, 1-amylene, 1-hexene and 3-methyl-1-butene etc.
Second composition as Splittable conjugate fiber (A), can use polyethylene, polypropylene and poly-polyolefin polymers or its copolymers different such as (butene-1s) with first composition, especially preferably using fusing point (D2m) is more than 130 ℃, more preferably the polyolefin polymers more than 150 ℃ or its copolymer.By aforementioned first composition and the second one-tenth combination Splittable conjugate fiber excellent heat resistance that is grouped into,, can fully adapt to for the intense reaction in the battery.Particularly the methylpentene base polymer is as first composition, and polypropylene based polymers is as the tool effect of the combination of second composition.
The compound ratio of cutting apart preferred 5~20, the two kinds of compositions of number of two kinds of compositions is from the difficulty or ease consideration of spinning technique in the previous segmentation type composite fibre (A), and preferred first composition: second composition is about 30: 70~70: 30.And the fiber number of Splittable conjugate fiber (A) can be cut apart number and the suitable decision of compound ratio by adjustment, and the fiber number that makes each component units after cutting apart is 0.1~0.5dtex.This is because if the fiber number of each component units after cutting apart less than 0.1dtex, when handling with oleum and chlorosulfonic acid, causes sharply aging and the intensity of non-weaving cloth is reduced, thereby undesirable.And if greater than 0.5dtex, diminish with the fiber number difference of composite fibre described later or synthetic fibers, can not guarantee fine and close space.
Previous segmentation type composite fibre (A) shared ratio in battery diaphragm of the present invention is being no more than in the scope of 60wt% preferred 5~55wt%, more preferably 15~50wt%.This is because if the content of Splittable conjugate fiber (A) is very few, the ratio of methylpentene base polymer is very few, if not under stronger hydrophilic conditions, just can not introduce sufficient hydrophilic group, cause non-weaving cloth intensity to reduce, cost raises, and if surpass 60wt%, the tendency that also exists the non-weaving cloth intensity after the hydrophilic treated to reduce, and cost raises.
Secondly, the TPO composite fibre (B) that is become to be grouped into by high-melting-point composition and low melting point that the present invention is used can adopt polyolefin polymers or its copolymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, poly-(butene-1), poly-(4-methyl butene-1) and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer.If establishing the fusing point of high-melting-point composition is B1m, the fusing point of low melting point composition is B2m, and the low melting point composition preferably satisfies following relation.
(1)B1m>B2m
(2)120℃<B2m<D2m
As the TPO composite fibre (B) that satisfies above-mentioned relation, can enumerate for example high density polyethylene (HDPE)/polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymer/polypropylene etc., if adopt them, the fibre strength excellence, the splitting of two composition interlaminar resins is also few, can obtain sufficient heat seal strength, therefore and preferably.
The fibre morphology of composite fibre is not a particular determination, can enumerate the single fiber of concentric circles or eccentric core-sheath-type composite fibre, Splittable conjugate fiber or two or more mixing of aforementioned material, and section configuration also can be circular or special-shaped any.
Among the present invention, the preferred especially concentric circles core-sheath-type composite fibre of forming by high density polyethylene (HDPE)/polypropylene, because its processing temperature field when non-weaving cloth heat treatment is wide, the non-weaving cloth intensity of gained is big, resistance to chemical reagents, the aging excellence of resistance to oxidation.
Further, aforementioned TPO composite fibre (B) preferably contains 5~55wt%, more preferably 20~50wt% in being no more than the scope of 60wt%.This is because the content of TPO composite fibre is very few, can not obtain sufficient non-weaving cloth intensity, is difficult to guarantee the space if surpass 60wt%, and guarantor's fluidity is insufficient.
Further, in battery diaphragm of the present invention, also can mix the third synthetic fibers (C) as required, mix in the scope below 40wt% this moment.More preferably at 20~40wt%.If this is that the effect of hydrophilic treated diminishes, and can not obtain necessary performance because the content of the third synthetic fibers surpasses 40wt%.For example, as in order to ensure between fiber, forming the space, can use than big by the fiber number of each component units after formed cutting apart of cutting apart of Splittable conjugate fiber, the synthetic fibers identical or little with the fiber number of TPO composite fibre, and if hydrophily is further improved, also can use hydrophilic reagent etc. is pre-mixed synthetic fibers in resin.So, if the 3rd synthetic fibers can use general synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, polyester, nylon from selecting the fiber of not fusion in fact under the melt temperature of polyalkenes composite fibre.Particularly fiber number is 0.5~5dtex, and fibre strength is the polypropylene fibre of 6~15cN/dtex, because resistance to chemical reagents is high more preferably.
The aforementioned form that contains the fibrofelt that constitutes fiber, the long fibre felt that wet type felt that can adopt the dry type felt that obtains by comb and parallel cotton fibers prior to spinning method and air lay method etc., obtains by damp process or direct methods such as meltblown and spun-bond process obtain.The fibre length of especially aforementioned formation fiber is the wet type felt that 3~25mm forms, and is preferred owing to the felt that can obtain homogeneous.More preferably fibre length is at 5~15mm.This be because if fibre length less than 3mm, when High-Pressure Water described later is handled, fiber disperses, interfibrous staggered complexing is insufficient, technology is undesirable, if surpass 25mm, the situation of particularly copying the non-weaving cloth of paper manufactured by wet type, fiber dispersion variation in the paper pulp can not obtain uniform non-weaving cloth.
These fibrofelts can pass through methods such as hot-pressing processing, hot blast processed and High-Pressure Water processing to be handled.At this moment preferably do not have under the situation of fusion in fact at two kinds of compositions that constitute Splittable conjugate fiber at least, bonding by the low melting point composition heat fusing of TPO composite fibre.At this, so-called fusion in fact is not to be softening flat by hot pressing etc., and is not bonding as yet between the fiber, and is meant the complete fusion of a part of fiber.If just the low melting point composition heat fusing of TPO composite fibre is bonding between the formation fiber, superfine fibre and other synthetic fibers that Splittable conjugate fiber is cut apart gained continue to guarantee the space, because the high-melting-point composition of composite fibre is kept fibre strength and make it melting adhered, so, the intensity of non-weaving cloth is disperseed little, can guarantee fine and close space.
Further, as the form of other non-weaving cloth, the change composite rate that also can in above-mentioned formation fiberoptic scope, suit lamination, the non-weaving cloth of lamination between perhaps that fibre length is the different fibrofelts.For example, if the latter on the fibrofelt of the formation fiber of aforementioned fibers length 3~25mm being copied the formation of paper method by wet type, fibre length can be surpassed the fibrofelt of the short fiber formation of 25mm, or the long fibre carpet veneer amasss at least one face.If make the different fibrofelt lamination of fibre length, the long staple fiber batt of fiber helps compactness, and the long long fibre felt of fiber helps non-weaving cloth intensity to improve, and so the productivity excellence when inserting battery is preferred.These fibrofelts can be that comb and parallel cotton fibers prior to spinning etc. does not make the bonded nonwoven cloth of its combination or handles any forms such as non-weaving cloth that make its staggered complexing by acupuncture or High-Pressure Water by bonding agent or self are bonding etc. in conjunction with felt, the part that will constitute fiber.Method as lamination, can be after the lamination, to make staggered complexing between the fiber between with unconjugated felt, also can be to use above-mentioned combination or staggered complexing method non-weaving clothization in advance to a kind of fibrofelt of major general, after the lamination, make staggered complexing between the fiber again.
Further, as other the form of non-weaving cloth, also can be at least a portion layer of aforementioned non-weaving cloth other thin slice of lamination.At this, can be at least a portion layer of aforementioned non-weaving cloth other thin slice of lamination, carry out hydrophilic treated after having made compound foil in advance, also can be in advance after the hydrophilic treated with aforementioned non-weaving cloth, other thin slice of lamination on part layer.At this, so-called other thin slice be meant by fibre length be the fibroplastic wet type non-weaving cloth of 3~25mm, the fibroplastic part that will constitute fiber that surpasses 25mm by fibre length by bonding agent or self bonding etc. make its combination handle the non-weaving cloth that makes its staggered complexing in conjunction with non-weaving cloth, by acupuncture or High-Pressure Water, or porous film etc.If using fibre length in aforementioned other thin slice is the fibroplastic wet type non-weaving cloth of 3~25mm, although pay down, also can obtain the few non-weaving cloth of through hole generation ratio at low constant volume weight order, can reduce the short circuit ratio of battery.And if the use fibre length surpasses fiber or the porous film of 25mm, also can further improve non-weaving cloth intensity.
The material of aforementioned other thin slice there is no particular restriction, can be polyolefin resin, polyamide-based resin or polyester resin etc. any.And the lamination method is if other thin slice of lamination also there is no particular restriction at least a portion layer, both can be on the single face of non-weaving cloth of the present invention or two sides other thin slice of lamination, also can between aforementioned non-weaving cloth, insert other thin slice.Further, more than also can be two-layer with above-mentioned laminate lamination.And the associated methods of each interlayer of above-mentioned laminate also there is no particular restriction, for example, make non-weaving cloth of the present invention in advance by the High-Pressure Water processing, make after itself and other thin slice lamination, combined with heat treatment by hot blast or hot-rolling etc. also can, make to constitute fibrofelt of the present invention and other thin slice in advance after the lamination, handle making its combination also passable by High-Pressure Water.
The constant volume weight order of aforementioned non-weaving cloth or compound foil is paid and can be regulated by fibre weight, preferably sets at 30~100g/m 2This is because as less than 30g/m 2Non-weaving cloth intensity step-down is short-circuited between positive pole and negative pole easily, as surpassing 100g/m 2Reductions such as gas permeability.
Further, aforementioned non-weaving cloth or compound foil are preferably by hydrophilic treated.As hydrophilic treated, can enumerate the graft copolymerization processing, fluorine gas processing, sulfonation processing, Corona discharge Treatment, plasma treatment of vinyl monomer etc., therefore and preferred especially the self-discharge that helps improving battery is handled in sulfonation.Handle as sulfonation, can enumerate concentrated sulfuric acid processing, oleum processing, chlorosulfonic acid processing and anhydrous slufuric acid processing etc.During sulfonation was handled, oleum was handled, chlorosulfonic acid is handled or anhydrous slufuric acid processing reaction height, handled than being easier to sulfonation, and is therefore preferred.And sulfonation degree is preferably at 0.4~2wt%, and 0.7~1.5wt% more preferably.This be because if sulfonation degree less than 0.4wt%, the self-discharge property improvement of battery is insufficient, if surpass 2wt%, not only causes processing cost to increase, and causes that non-weaving cloth intensity reduces.Hydrophilic treated is considered and should be carried out after non-weaving cloth forms from the productivity aspect, and the situation of non-weaving cloth laminate, also can contain the non-weaving cloth hydrophilic treated of Splittable conjugate fiber to the major general.
Below just an example of the manufacture method of battery diaphragm of the present invention describe.As the manufacture method of the base material non-weaving cloth that becomes battery diaphragm of the present invention, preferred wet type is copied the paper method, and wet type is copied paper and got final product with usual way.At first, mix other synthetic fibers, its concentration by 0.01~0.6wt% is dispersed in the water, be modulated into paper pulp with Splittable conjugate fiber 15~60wt%, TPO composite fibre 20~60wt%, in being no more than the scope of 40wt%.At this moment also can add the dispensed in small quantity agent.Paper pulp can adopt short net formula, cylinder or both composite type paper machines etc. to copy paper.Then,, make slight combination between fiber in advance if make the fusion of TPO composite fibre, the processing good operability of non-weaving cloth, therefore and preferably.In a single day the fusion of TPO composite fibre can be carried out with drying when the dried in machine hand's journey simultaneously, and has made after the wet type non-weaving cloth, heat treated also can.
Further, the fusion by the TPO composite fibre makes slight combination between fiber, and form is become after the stable status, carries out High-Pressure Water and handles, and Splittable conjugate fiber is cut apart made staggered complexing between fiber when forming superfine fibre.High-Pressure Water is handled the nozzle that is provided with the interval of 0.5~1.5mm from the hole of aperture 0.05~0.5mmr, with the column current of hydraulic pressure 5~20Mpa more than spraying once on the positive and negative of non-weaving cloth respectively.The non-non-weaving cloth of staggered complexing of gained with 120~D2m ℃, preferred 130~145 ℃ of dryings the time, the low melting point composition by the TPO composite fibre makes that to constitute between the fiber heat fusing bonding.
After this, non-weaving cloth is immersed in oleum reactive tank, chlorosulfonic acid reactive tank or the anhydrous slufuric acid reactive tank, introduces sulfo group.The sulfonation treatment conditions can suit to set, so that sulfonation degree reaches 0.4~2wt%, for example, if handle with anhydrous slufuric acid, can handle under sulfur trioxide gas volumetric concentration 10~80%, 10~90 ℃ of reaction temperatures, 10~600 seconds reaction time condition.At this moment,, also can make after the non-weaving cloth activate, carry out sulfonation again and handle by this ultraviolet ray or radioactive ray in order to promote sulfonation.
Further, on non-weaving cloth, carry out after the hydrophilic treated, can the hydrophilic surfactant active evenly be adhered to, also can cooperate other hydrophilic treated method by infusion process, spray-on process, roller contact method.After this, carry out hot calender and handle, be adjusted to fixed thickness, can obtain battery diaphragm of the present invention.
