Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel separators, in particular for lithium metal batteries, their production and use, as well as corresponding lithium metal batteries containing these separators.
- Rechargeable lithium batteries are among the most promising tools for the energy supply of the future.
- these batteries supply most of the consumer electronics electronic devices. These batteries are also a good energy storage solution for battery-powered electric vehicles (BEV) with a long range. Furthermore, their potential for use in energy storage of renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, appears to be very high.
- BEV battery-powered electric vehicles
- Batteries containing lithium metal as the anode have the highest theoretical gravimetric power and energy densities. Combinations with sulfur or air cathodes are a desired solution.
- the average theoretical energy densities of lithium-air (non-aqueous system) and lithium-sulfur batteries are 3505 and 2567 Wh / kg, respectively (P. Bruce et al., Nature 11 (2012) 19-29): This is 6, 5 to 9 times as high as a lithium-ion cell based on LiCoO 2 and graphite (387 Wh / kg) according to the current state of the art.
- the latter is usually a mixture of two or more organic carbonates, for example ethylene carbonate (EC), diethylene carbonate (DEC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), vinyl carbonate (VC), propylene carbonate (PC) or others, and a lithium salt, essentially lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ).
- EC ethylene carbonate
- DEC diethylene carbonate
- DMC dimethyl carbonate
- VC vinyl carbonate
- PC propylene carbonate
- LiPF 6 lithium essentially lithium hexafluorophosphate
- Other usable lithium salts are lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF 4 ), lithium bis (oxalatoborate) (LIBOB), lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LITFSI) or others.
- LITFSI lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide
- the addition of one or more additives is practiced.
- These may be: fluoroethylene carbonate, triphenylamine, succinic anhydride, 1,3-propane sultone, glutaric anhydride, 2,5-dihydrofuran, gamma-butyrolactone, biphenyl and others.
- Deposition of metallic lithium in each cycle results in progressive degradation of the electrolytes on the fresh lithium surface.
- the consumption of electrolyte in this type of parasitic side reactions can cause the cell to dry out, accompanied by a rapid decline in capacity. Massive growth of dendrites into the porous separator can also lead to internal short circuits of the cell, which can then lead to uncontrollable cell heating.
- Polymer electrolytes based on polyethylene oxide (PEO), polypropylene oxide (PPO), poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF), poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or other polymers show a promising solution for these safety concerns because they are able to form a stable lithium metal electrolyte granule surface and yet operate satisfactorily at temperatures above 100 ° C.
- separator and electrolyte function in one part, resulting in a potential cost reduction.
- they have a low ionic conductivity at room temperature or lower temperatures, have a high internal cell resistance, which leads to poor efficiency of cycle rates, and they can not be used in pure form with porous electrodes because they have a reduced contact area (since the porous electrodes are currently produced by wet coating processes).
- GPE gelled polymer electrolyte
- GPEs have high conductivities and are considered less dangerous because a large proportion of the flammable electrolytes are "trapped" in the polymer.
- GPE gelled polymer electrolyte
- using GPE raises newer issues.
- GPEs show rapid softening at elevated temperatures, which can reduce mechanical stability and cause internal short circuits.
- the porous cathode can be blocked by penetrating polymer, which leads to increased internal resistance and decrease in the absolute capacity of the cell for the loading and unloading. Additional electrolyte is necessary to wet the porous cathode. Liquid organic electrolytes are still present in the gel, which can then be released at higher temperatures.
- Ionic liquids are currently used in place of or as a mixture with conventional electrolytes, or incorporated into solid polymer electrolytes.
- a coating with soluble polymers usually leads to increased surface film formation on the electrodes and to clogging of the porous electrodes (US 2007/0054184 A1). Furthermore, it may happen that the polymeric coating material is dissolved in the electrolyte, as long as no chemical connection between polymer and separator has been achieved. Combinations of separators and GPE are usually much thicker than the pure separators, with an average increase in thickness of 5 to 20 ⁇ is to be expected. The usual thickness of uncoated separators for rechargeable batteries in the consumer sector is currently up to 25 ⁇ (1 mil). Combinations with the latest thin-film polyethylene separators are designed to increase the energy density of the cells. The companies Asahi Kasei and Toning have already developed corresponding separators having a thickness of 16 ⁇ or 12 ⁇ .
- Polyolefin separators coated on one or both sides by means of solvent-based processes are known, for example, from US 2004/0053122 A1 and US Pat. No. 6,444,359 B1.

- the coating polymer and electrolytes based on ionic liquids form a completely amorphous polymer electrolyte layer inside the battery (cell) according to the invention. This effect occurs especially when using poly (ethylene oxide) as a coating polymer.
- a separator having different properties on both its sides By obtaining, according to the invention, a separator having different properties on both its sides, it is possible to adapt this separator in its properties to the respective electrodes to be used. This is especially important when electrodes with different surface properties in a cell are to be used.
- the special structure of the separators according to the invention has proven particularly advantageous for cells in which a lithium metal and a porous electrode are used. The reason why lithium metal is not normally used in modern lithium cells is the uncontrollable formation of dendrites when the lithium metal is used with conventional porous separators.
- novel modified separators according to the invention which are coated on a page-specific basis, provide the necessary surfaces for lithium metal on the one hand and for conventional porous electrodes on the other hand.
- lithium metal-based batteries can be made available which have higher capacities.
- membranes in the batteries according to the invention which act as intrinsic moisture barriers.
- the use of the inventively modified separators in cells (batteries) thus allows the use of air cathodes without having to use additional moisture barriers in the form of other membranes.
- An advantage of the present invention is also that the manufacturing process of the separators according to the invention, in contrast to the prior art, is simple and inexpensive. Because it is achieved by the application of solvent-based coating techniques, the u.a. a long and energy-intensive drying require to be bypassed.
- the coating polymer it is readily possible for the coating polymer to be easily extruded and then laminated to the separator.
- Another advantage of the present invention is that the modified separators already prepared are readily storable.
- the present invention also relates to modified separators which have been coated by the process according to the invention.
- the benzophenone was then ground in a mortar and poly (ethylene oxide) blended into the benzophenone powder.
- the amount of benzophenone was 4.5 to 9 wt.%.
- the mixture was filled into pouch bags, vacuum sealed and heated at 100 ° C for 24 hours to homogenize the mixture.
- the homogenized mixture was then pressed first with a hot pressing process to about 30 ⁇ thick films and then further compressed in a conventional Kalendriermaschine to about 10 ⁇ thick films.
- the resulting polymer film was then pressed onto dry separator surfaces and crosslinked from both sides by UV radiation for 3 minutes.
- the modified separator was placed between a lithium metal anode and a porous cathode such that the polymer-coated side faces the lithium and the untreated separate surface faces the porous cathode.
- the vacuum was in each case 1 to 10 mbar.
- the separators produced in accordance with the invention exhibited very good thermal stabilities of> 135 ° C. in a pure oxygen atmosphere.
- the thermal stability could still be increased to over 175 ° C when ionic liquids were used as the electrolyte.
- Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode achieved stable capacities of 140 to
