Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a biaxially oriented film having at least one particle-containing porous layer and its use as a separator, and to a process for producing this film.
  • Modern devices require an energy source, such as batteries or rechargeable batteries, which enable a spatially independent use. Batteries have the disadvantage that they must be disposed of. Therefore, accumulators (secondary batteries) are increasingly used, which can be recharged with the help of chargers on the power grid again and again. Conventional nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries, for example, can achieve a lifetime of approximately 1000 charging cycles when used properly. In high-energy or high-performance systems, lithium, lithium-ion, lithium-polymer, and alkaline-earth batteries are increasingly being used as accumulators.
  • NiCd nickel-cadmium
  • Batteries and accumulators always consist of two electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution and a separator separating the anode and cathode.
  • the different battery types differ by the electrode material used, the electrolyte and the separator used.
  • a battery separator has the task of spatially separating the cathode and anode in batteries, or negative and positive electrodes in accumulators.
  • the separator must be a barrier which electrically insulates the two electrodes from each other to avoid internal short circuits. At the same time, however, the separator must be permeable to ions so that the electrochemical reactions in the cell can proceed.
  • a battery separator must be thin so that the internal resistance is as low as possible and a high packing density and thus energy density in the battery can be achieved. Only in this way are good performance data and high capacities possible.
  • lithium batteries In lithium batteries, the occurrence of short circuits is a problem. Under thermal stress, the lithium ion batteries may cause the battery separator to melt, resulting in a short circuit with devastating consequences. Similar dangers exist if the lithium batteries are mechanically damaged or overloaded by faulty electronics of the chargers.
  • shut-off separators To increase the safety of lithium-ion batteries, shut-off separators have been developed in the past (shut-down membranes). These special separators close their pores in a very short time at a certain temperature, which is well below the melting point or the ignition point of lithium. Thus, the catastrophic consequences of a short circuit in the lithium batteries are largely prevented.
  • Li batteries of the pouch cell type the individual battery units are separated from each other only by a foil. Due to this fact, higher demands are placed on the separator in these cells since, in the event of an internal short circuit and overheating, the explosive combustion reactions spread to the neighboring cells.
  • US2011171523 describes a heat-resistant separator obtained by a solvent method.
  • inorganic particles chalk, silicates or aluminum oxide
  • UHMW-PE raw material
  • oil is then extruded through a die into a prefilm.
  • the oil is then dissolved out of the prefilm by means of a solvent in order to create the pores.
  • this film is stretched to the separator.
  • the inorganic particles then ensure the separation of the anode and cathode in the battery even in the event of severe overheating.
  • This method has the disadvantage that the particles contribute to the weakening of the mechanical properties of the separator and that agglomerates of the particles can cause errors and uneven pore structure.
  • US2007020525 describes a ceramic separator obtained by processing inorganic particles with a polymer-based binder. This separator also ensures that the anode and cathode in the battery remain disconnected in the event of severe overheating. But the manufacturing process is complicated and the mechanical properties of the separator are insufficient.
  • WO2013083280 describes a biaxially oriented, monolayer or multilayer porous film which has an inorganic, preferably ceramic, coating. The original porosity of the film is lowered by the ceramic coating only to a small extent. The coated porous film has a Gurley value of ⁇ 1500s. According to this teaching, polypropylene separators with a certain surface structure even without the use of primers over water-based inorganic, preferably ceramic, coatings sufficient adhesion.
  • the separator materials with temperature-stable protective layer must be as thin as possible in order to ensure a small footprint, to keep the internal resistance small and have a large porosity. These properties are negatively influenced by the coating, since the coating leads to an increase in the thickness of the membrane and to a reduced porosity and impairs the surface structure of the film.
  • Polyolefin separators can today be produced by various processes are: filler method; Cold drawing, extraction method and ⁇ -crystallite method. These methods basically differ by the different mechanisms by which the pores are generated. For example, can be produced by the addition of very high amounts of filler porous films. The pores are formed during stretching due to the incompatibility of the fillers with the polymer matrix. However, the large amounts of filler of up to 40 wt .-%, which are required to achieve high porosity, affect the mechanical strength despite high draw considerably, so that these products can not be used as separators in a high energy cell.
  • the pores are in principle produced by dissolving out a component from the polymer matrix by means of suitable solvents.
  • suitable solvents a variety of variants have developed, which differ in the nature of the additives and the appropriate solvents.
  • Both organic and inorganic additives can be extracted. This extraction can be done as the last step in the production of the film or combined with a subsequent drawing.
  • the disadvantage in this case is the ecologically and economically questionable extraction step.
  • An older but successful process relies on stretching the polymer matrix at very low temperatures (cold drawing).
  • the film is first extruded and then annealed to increase the crystalline content for a few hours.
  • the cold stretching is carried out in the longitudinal direction at very low temperatures in order to produce a plurality of defects in the form of the smallest microcracks.
  • This pre-stretched film with voids is then stretched in the same direction again at elevated temperatures with higher factors, enlarging the voids to pores forming a network-like structure.
  • These slides combine high porosity and good mechanical strength in the direction of their stretching, generally the longitudinal direction. However, the mechanical strength in the transverse direction remains poor, whereby the puncture resistance is poor and a high tendency to splice in the longitudinal direction. Overall, the process is costly.
  • Another known process for producing porous films is based on the admixture of ⁇ -nucleating agents to polypropylene.
  • the polypropylene forms so-called ⁇ -crystallites in high concentrations during cooling of the melt.
  • the ⁇ phase is converted into the alpha modification of the polypropylene. Since these different crystal forms differ in density, here too many microscopic defects, which are torn to pores by stretching, are initially produced.
  • the films produced by this process have good porosities and good mechanical strength in the longitudinal and transverse directions and a very good economy. These films are also called hereinafter ⁇ -porous films. To improve the porosity, a higher orientation can be introduced in the longitudinal direction before the transverse extension.
  • the object of the present invention was therefore to provide a film which, as a separator, ensures insulation of the electrodes even at very high temperatures or mechanical damage to the battery. This insulating function must be retained even if the temperatures inside the battery are above the melting point of the polymer of the separator. This film should still be efficient and inexpensive to produce.
  • a further object of the present invention was therefore a porous film having an improved Gurley value, i. to provide a good permeability.
  • a further object of the present invention was to enable a high process speed in the production of low Gurley porous film.

  • the membranes which are based on the film according to the invention by the addition of high-melting particles provide adequate protection against internal short circuits when used as a separator in highly reactive batteries and rechargeable batteries.
  • the particles in the film form even at very high temperatures of over 160 ° C (melting point of propylene polymers), an effective insulation that keeps the electrodes separate.
  • the addition of high-melting particles in the porous layer lowers the Gurley value of porous films.

  • the addition of the particles in the porous layer leads to surprising effects, which can be used advantageously in different ways. It has been found that the particles ensure separation of the electrodes, even if the temperature inside the battery exceeds the melting temperature of the polymers. This protective effect works both in separators whose pores close when the temperature increases, and in separators without this so-called shut-off function (increasing the Gurley value of the porous film at high temperatures). Thus, separators of the porous film of the present invention provide better protection against battery fires or even explosions due to short circuits, mechanical damage or overheating. Surprisingly, the particle additives have an advantageous effect on the gas permeability of the films.
  • the addition of the particles reduces the Gurley value compared to a film with an analog composition without particles. This is surprising against the background that the particles themselves usually do not develop a ⁇ -nucleating effect. In addition, it is known in the art that particles having a particle size of less than 1 pm in a polypropylene matrix also have no vacuolene or pore-forming action. It is therefore not understood how or why these particles contribute to a lower Gurley value. Furthermore, it is completely unexpected that the addition of the particles, not as originally expected, causes more frequent breaks in the production of the film. This is surprising, since it is known in the art that, for example, agglomerates of nucleating agents cause the frequency of tearing to increase significantly.

In contrast, porous films or layers have a network of interconnected pores. Pores are thus no closed cavities. Both porous films and vacuole-containing films have a density of less than 0.9 g / cm 3 . The density of vacuolated biaxially oriented polypropylene films is generally 0.5 to ⁇ 0.85 / cm 3 . In general, a particle size greater than 1 ⁇ m is required for particles to act as a vacuole-initiating particle in a polypropylene matrix.
