Description

一种隔热防火材料及其用途 技术领域
本发明涉及一种隔热防火材料及其用途。
背景技术
在传统的电动汽车的动力电池中,隔热防火材料一般都是由耐高温阻燃无机材料形成的,如耐高温阻燃无机材料为云母材料。然而,由于云母的比重较大,在实际使用时,作为隔热片用于两枚电芯中间时,导致电池的整体重量增加,不利于电动汽车的轻量化,从而影响电动汽车的续航里程。
虽然在一定范围内增加电池数量可以提高电动汽车的续航里程,但是由于车内体积有限,并且重量也会随之增加,电池数量受到制约。为了可以达到增加续航里程的目的,在体积与重量不变的条件下,增加电池容量,即提高电池的能量密度。然而,提高电动车电池能量密度是比较困难的。
另外,云母片硬度高且发脆,在其厚度方向上极难被压缩。当电池在使用或充电过程中,电芯在厚度方向发生膨胀时,云母片被挤压却难以被压缩。虽然云母材料具有较好的耐热性,但是导热性能较差。因此,有必要开发出一种既有隔热防火效果,又有良好的压缩回弹性,即使在温度影响下,也可以承受因电芯发生的形变所带来的尺寸变化。
如日本公开专利特開2018-179010中公开了一种耐火隔热片材,该发明由于是将层积状隔热体放于耐火纤维制成的袋体中,在使用过程中受外力会发生振动或压缩的现象,在剪切作用下,隔热体与袋体会产生分离,无法保证整体片材可以发挥隔热作用。此外,无机纤维表面光滑、刚硬,构成无纺布的纤维之间的缠结力较小,气凝胶的附着也不稳定,导致隔热体整体的机械性能差,而且无机纤维本身密度大,难以屈曲,形成的无纺布克重高、厚度大,从而导致耐火隔热片材整体重量大、体积大,无法实现轻量化。另外,隔热体中虽然使用含有羟基的二氧化硅系无机纤维,通过加热的方法,Si(OH) 4发生脱水缩合反应生成H 2O,但是由于反应生成的水分非常有限,无法获得显著的吸热降温效果。
如日本公开专利特開2018-118489中公开了一种气凝胶层积复合体及隔热材料,由于该发明中的气凝胶单独呈层状分布,缺少起到支撑增强作用的基材,因此在受外力挤压时,极易被压缩变形,且外力去除后,被压缩部分也无法恢复。
如中国公开专利CN207425974U中公开了一种电池箱热失控阻断防护片,该实用新型由于纤维毡四周的高分子膜层贴合强度较低,在汽车行驶时电芯发生震动,并与阻燃绝热毡发生摩擦,导致高分子膜层的边缘发生剥离,其中的气凝胶粉末飞散,从而导致防护片的隔热性能下降。另外,该防护片材中还包括由金属材料制得的防爆层作为封装层,导致防护片材整体的重量增加,难于实现轻量化。
又如中国公开专利CN108689678A中公开了一种表面无气凝胶大颗粒附着的纤维增强气凝胶毡及其制备方法,该发明中纤维毡整体比重小、孔隙大且多,气凝胶颗粒难以附着,即使附着后,气凝胶颗粒也容易发生脱落,从而影响材料的隔热性能。而且,该发明中采用整卷常压浸胶方式,会导致气凝胶在卷状纤维毡中的分散均匀性不好,外层与内层的浸胶量不均匀,从而影响毡的隔热性能的稳定性。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于提供一种阻燃性好、耐高温、导热系数小且轻量化的隔热防火材料。

图3为本发明隔热防火材料的示意图,图中,A为隔热层、B为蓄热层、C为密封层,隔热层与蓄热层为同一层,其中,a为多孔质材料、b为中空微粒、c为连续片状材料、d为蓄热材料。
具体实施方式
本发明的隔热防火材料中至少含有隔热层,所述隔热层中含有多孔质材料和中空微粒,所述多孔质材料的体积密度为0.05~0.30g/cm 3,所述中空微粒的平均直径为30~1000μm,所述隔热防火材料经过碳化处理后的常温导热系数为0.040W/(m·K)以下。多孔质材料是指由相互贯通或封闭的孔洞构成网状结构的材料,该材料具有一定的厚度, 如多孔质材料为泡沫多孔材料、金属粉末烧结多孔材料、纤维构造体等,优选纤维构造体,因为纤维构造体具有较好的压缩回复性,受外力发生压缩形变,随着外力去除后,纤维构造体能够较快回复,消除压缩形变。中空微粒是指具有中空结构或空腔的微粒颗粒物,其中的空腔可以是全部封闭,也可以是部分封闭。如中空微粒为中空二氧化硅微粒、中空玻璃微珠、中空陶瓷微粒等,优选中空二氧化硅微粒,即二氧化硅气凝胶微粒,因为中空二氧化硅微粒具有高孔隙率、高比表面积、且轻质的特点,具有优异的隔热性能。适当粒径的二氧化硅气凝胶粉体保持了气凝胶的纳米孔结构,更容易分散、填装,然后与多孔质材料进行复合,即中空微粒可以有效地容纳、附着在含孔洞构成网状结构的多孔质材料上,多孔质材料给予中空微粒支撑,使之成为一体形成隔热层,所得的隔热层具有一定的机械强力以及功能性,比如防火、隔热等。
本发明的多孔质材料的体积密度必须控制在一定的范围内,如果多孔质材料的体积密度低于0.05g/cm 3的话,该材料内孔隙过多,甚至出现较大的贯穿型孔洞,附着在多孔质材料上的中空微粒就会从大孔中掉落出来,甚至无法蓄积中空微粒,所得的隔热层起不到隔热的效果;如果多孔质材料的体积密度高于0.30g/cm 3的话,多孔质材料变得致密,多孔质材料中的孔隙变小、变少,中空微粒的附着量降低,甚至无法进入多孔质材料的内部,使得隔热层的隔热性能大大下降。中空微粒由于具有中空或空腔结构,能够贮存空气,合适粒径的中空微粒附着、蓄积于多孔质材料中,可以大大降低本发明隔热防火材料对热量传递的阻隔性,如果中空微粒的平均直径小于30μm的话,分散在多孔质材料中的中空微粒与多孔质材料的接触面积变小,导致中空材料附着困难,极易发生飞散、掉落的现象,从而引起隔热性能下降;如果中空微粒的平均直径大于1000μm的话,大颗粒的中空微粒难以进入多孔质材料的内部孔隙中,而只是仅仅浮于多孔质材料的表层,使用时极易飞散、掉落,隔热性能大幅度下降,而且由于中空微粒粒径过大,中空微粒在多孔质材料中的分散变得极为不均匀,从而导致材料整体的隔热性能均匀性变差。考虑到中空微粒的分散稳定性与隔热性能均匀性,中空微粒的平均直径优选为50~800μm,更优选50~500μm。这里的中空微粒的平均直径,对于气凝胶微粒而言,该粒径是指由气凝胶的三维空间网状结构所构成的集合体的粒径。
本发明的隔热防火材料经过碳化处理后的常温导热系数为0.040W/(m·K)以下。作为用于电芯间的隔热材料,可以有效延缓或阻断电芯的热失控,从而延缓向整个电池系统热传递的时间,因此隔热防火材料必须具备优异的隔热性,特别是受电芯热失控时隔热防火材料会瞬间受高温发生碳化,此时更要求隔热防火材料在碳化后仍保持良好的隔热性能,从而避免连锁失控。如果隔热防火材料经过碳化处理后的常温导热系数高于0.040W/(m·K)的话,即当隔热材料受高温时发生碳化,其导热系数变高,发生热失控的电芯所产生的高温无法被阻隔,发生热扩散反应,引起热量快速传递,进一步迅速将热传导传到相邻的电芯,使相邻的电芯瞬间发生连锁热失控,进一步加剧了电池燃烧速度,减少了驾乘人员宝贵的逃生时间,甚至会导致严重的伤亡事故发生。考虑到隔热防火材料中多孔质材料的体积密度以及中空微粒的含有量,本发明隔热防火材料经过碳化处理后的常温导热系数优选为0.020~0.040W/(m·K)。
本发明的隔热防火材料中优选为含有密封层,所述密封层为连续片状材料,所述密封层位于隔热层的至少相对两面,所述密封层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例优选为0.5~90%。由于隔热层中多孔质材料上附着有中空微粒,在隔热材料包装、运输、使用过程中,中空微粒受到外力作用容易出现飞散、掉落等情况,直接影响到该材料的隔热性能,当该材料被应用于电芯之间作为隔热缓冲材时,隔热性变差或不均匀,一旦出现电芯异常升温,就无法及时有效地阻断热量的传递,从而导致电芯发生热失控,严重时会造成驾乘人员来不及逃离,引发重大伤亡事故。因此,优选在隔热层的至少相 对两面设置密封层,该密封层为连续片状材料,这样可以有效防止隔热层中的中空微粒飞散,最大程度保持隔热性能。由于隔热层是具有一定厚度的材料,可以将它视为一个长方体。因此,密封层可以位于隔热层的相对两面,也可以位于隔热层的四面或六面,当密封层位于隔热层的相对两面时,该两面是长方体的隔热层上所占面积最大的相对两面,即隔热层的上、下两个表面,这样既可以起到防止隔热层中的中空微粒受外力振动或挤压而飞散、脱落的发生,也可以快速、低成本地生产;当密封层位于隔热层的四面或六面时,即密封层不仅覆盖于隔热层的上、下两个表面,还覆盖于隔热层的侧面,此时,可以完全防止隔热层中的中空微粒受外力振动或挤压而发生飞散、脱落的发生,因此更优选密封层位于隔热层的四面或六面。
当密封层为膜状材料时,密封层的平均厚度优选5~200μm。如果膜状材料的平均厚度过薄的话,受两侧电芯之间的热膨胀挤压和摩擦,容易发生破损,导致隔热层中的中空微粒飞散、掉落,引起隔热性下降;如果膜状材料的平均厚度过厚的话,由于密度较高,可压缩空间过小,且即使被压缩后,其回弹性较差,当电芯冷却恢复原有厚度时,隔热防火材整体上无法回复到原有厚度,导致相邻电芯之间出现空隙,隔热防火材发生松动。
当密封层为纤维纺织品时,密封层的平均厚度优选100~400μm。如果纤维纺织品的厚度过薄的话,受两侧电芯之间的热膨胀挤压和摩擦,容易发生破损,导致隔热层中的中空微粒飞散、掉落,引起隔热性下降;如果纤维纺织品的厚度过厚的话,由于隔热防火材整体厚度有一定限制,一般不超过4mm,这样隔热层厚度或蓄热层厚度只能减少,导致隔热防火材整体的性能下降。特别是优选厚度在100~200μm的高密度阻燃纤维纺织品作为密封层,不仅能防止隔热层中的中空微粒飞散、掉落,还可以提高隔热防火材料的抗形变、抗剪切强力,甚至还起到阻燃防火的作用,在电芯发生着火时,可以阻挡火焰蔓延,减缓热量传递。
当密封层为树脂形成的片状材料时,由于在树脂形成的片状材料中含有蓄热材料,当所含有的蓄热材料越多,所在树脂形成的片状材料厚度也就越高。对于隔热防火材来说,对热量的吸收也就越多。考虑到隔热防火材的整体厚度,密封层的平均厚度优选200~1000μm。如果树脂形成的片状材料的厚度过薄的话,由于树脂层中所含有的蓄热材料过少,能够吸收的热量变少,导致隔热防火材整体的隔热性下降;如果树脂形成的片状材料的厚度过厚的话,由于隔热防火材整体厚度有一定限制,一般不超过4mm,这样隔热层厚度变薄,隔热性能下降,也会导致隔热防火材整体的隔热性能下降。
上述密封层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例优选为0.5~90.0%,本发明中密封层的平均总厚度是指分布于隔热层的上、下两个表面的平均厚度的总和,隔热防火材料整体厚度是指本发明的隔热防火材料的上、下两个表面之间的距离,即包括了隔热层、蓄热层以及密封层的所有厚度。密封层的平均总厚度与隔热防火材料整体厚度的比值,一方面可以反映出密封层对中空材料的密封性能,另一方面也直接影响到隔热防火材料整体的压缩回复性能。如果密封层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例过低的话,说明密封层过薄,当所得的隔热防火材料安装在电芯之间时,受两侧电芯振动以及产生的摩擦力,容易将过薄的密封层的连续状态破坏,从而导致均匀分散在多孔质材料内部的中空微粒因振动等外力发生掉落,中空微粒从多孔质材料的孔隙中散落出来,造成中空微粒的附着量变少,分布不均匀,当电芯发生热失控时无法起到很好的隔热防火效果,导致热量迅速传导到相邻的电芯引起连锁反应;如果密封层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例过高的话,说明密封层过厚,当所得的隔热防火材料安装在电芯之间时,受到两侧热膨胀的电芯挤压,过厚的密封层由于密度较高,可压缩空间过小,并且即使被压缩后,其回弹性较差,当电芯冷却恢复原有厚度时,隔热防 火材料在整体上无法回复到原有的厚度,导致出现空隙,导致电芯松动,甚至电芯变形失效。另一方面,密封层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例过高的话,即隔热层的厚度过薄,作为隔热主体的隔热层中多孔质材料与中空微粒过少,无法为材料提供足够的隔热性能,制得的隔热防火材料安装在电芯之间时,在电芯发生热失控时无法起到很好的隔热防火效果,导致热量很快传导到相邻电芯引起连锁反应。考虑到隔热防火材料的隔热防火、缓冲减震、以及轻量化等性能要求以及被应用于电芯之间时的密封性、压缩回弹性,本发明密封层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例更优选10.0~70.0%,进一步优选25.0~50.0%。
本发明的隔热防火材料中优选含有蓄热材料,蓄热材料可以弥补本隔热防火材料中单纯的隔热层对热量阻隔作用的局限性,特别是隔热防火材料处于温度急剧上升的环境下,蓄热材料可以有效抑制温度上升。所述蓄热材料为水合物或金属的氢氧化物,所述蓄热材料受热时释放出的水分重量相对于隔热防火材料的重量比例优选为2.0~25.0%。水合物指的是含有水的化合物,通常指结晶水合物,即含有一定量结晶水的物质,其来源相当广泛。水合物中的水可以以配位键与其他部分相连,如水合金属离子,化学式为KAl(SO 4) 2·12H 2O,也可以是以共价键相结合,如水合三氯乙醛。有的结晶水合物在室温和干燥的空气里,能自动失去部分或全部结晶水,这种现象被称为风化,因而此类结晶水合物在常温下就因为失去水分而不存在,也有的结晶水合物需要在一定的加热条件下才发生,水合物被加热时会发生水解反应或脱水反应,即水分子被加热失去。水分子的失去可以发生在化合物分子内部,即分子内脱水,也可以发生在同一化合物的两个分子之间,即分子间脱水。脱水过程中水合物的水发生吸热反应,能够吸收热量,从而可以起到减少热量传导的作用。金属的氢氧化物是指金属阳离子与氢氧根离子(-OH)形成的无机化合物,受热时能生成金属氧化物和水,可以吸收热量。由于金属氢氧化物的分解温度差异很大,如Al(OH) 3的热分解起始温度约220℃,Mg(OH) 2的热分解起始温度约340℃,而NaOH很难被加热分解。这与金属氢氧化物中金属的金属性有关,一般来说金属性越强,氢氧化物的稳定性越高。考虑到本发明的隔热防火材料的实际应用环境,优选分解温度在100~1200℃的金属氢氧化物,如氢氧化钙、氢氧化镁、氢氧化铝等。此外,从蓄热密度的角度出发,不仅优选分解温度在100~1200℃范围内的,进一步优选蓄热密度在600kJ/kg以上的金属氢氧化物,比如氢氧化铝。这里的蓄热密度可以表征单位重量的材料吸收热量多少的能力,如果蓄热材料的蓄热密度过低的话,在接触温度急剧上升的电芯时将无法吸收其产生的大量热量,蓄热材料迅速吸热达到饱和,不再吸热,无法有效延缓电芯温度的升高,从而影响材料的整体隔热性能。考虑到复合加工后样品的整体质量及隔热性能,化学蓄热材料的蓄热密度更优选为1000kJ/kg以上。
上述蓄热材料受热时释放出的水分重量相对于隔热防火材料的重量比例优选为2.0~25.0%,如果所述蓄热材料受热分解时释放出的水分重量相对于隔热防火材料的重量比例过低的话,其受热后所释放出来的水分能够吸收的热量较小,也就是在较低热量条件下就能发生热分解,然而,当此类蓄热材料被应用于电芯之间时,如果电芯异常发热引起热失控的话,蓄热材料接触温度急剧上升的电芯时,就不能快速吸收电芯产生的大量热能,从而无法有效阻隔热量向相邻电芯传递,严重时发生连锁爆炸;如果蓄热材料受热时释放出的水分重量相对于隔热防火材料的重量比例过高的话,作为隔热主体的隔热层,其重量比例必定下降,也就是隔热层中的多孔质材料与中空微粒的重量比例下降,直接导致隔热防火材整体的隔热性能降低,从而无法提供足够的隔热性能,制得的隔热防火材料安装在电芯之间时,隔热效果差,导致较多热量快速传导到相邻电芯,发生连锁反应,导致电池整体发生热失控。考虑到隔热防火材料整体的隔热性与轻量化, 上述蓄热材料受热时释放出的水分重量相对于隔热防火材料的重量比例更优选为5~20%。
本发明的隔热防火材料中优选含有蓄热材料,蓄热材料通过以下方式存在于隔热防火材料中。
方法一:将蓄热材料与可热熔融的固态难燃粘合剂颗粒进行混合得到混合颗粒,将混合颗粒以铺撒的方式均匀铺放在预先制备好的隔热层的上、下两面,以膜的形式形成一层蓄热粉末层,即为蓄热层,再使用连续片状材料进行至少相对两面的封装,通过加热熔融冷却固化的方式使两者初步固结,形成分布在隔热层两侧的蓄热层,并被连续片状材料封装为一体的隔热防火材料。
方法二:将蓄热材料与液态难燃树脂均匀混合,形成蓄热材料的难燃树脂液,然后将其均匀涂敷在预先制备好的隔热层的上、下两面,在适宜的温度下干燥固化后室温冷却,在隔热层两侧分别形成一层附着有蓄热材料粉末的难燃树脂固化膜,最终得到蓄热层分布在隔热层两侧的蓄热层与密封层为一体的隔热防火材料,此时,蓄热层即为密封层。上述制得的附着有蓄热材料颗粒的难燃树脂固化膜不仅能吸收大量的热量,又能解决多孔质材料内部的中空微粒从多孔质材料的孔隙中散落出来的问题。
方法三:将蓄热材料粉末撒进预先制备好的含有中空微粒的多孔质材料中,通过物理填充的方式使蓄热材料粉末充分进入到多孔质材料与中空微粒的空隙之间,制得隔热层,也是蓄热层,再使用连续片状材料进行至少相对两面的封装,形成隔热层与蓄热层为同一层结构,并被连续片状材料封装为一体的隔热防火材料。
本发明隔热防火材料的制备方法不局限以上三种,也可以将上述三种方法进行交叉使用,得到兼备隔热性与防火性,且轻量化的隔热防火材料。
本发明蓄热材料优选为层状结构分布于隔热层相对两侧,所述蓄热层的平均厚度与隔热层的平均厚度的比例优选为10~90%。蓄热层优选分布于隔热层相对两侧,由于隔热层具有一定厚度,可视作长方体。隔热层相对两侧是指长方体的隔热层中所占面积最大的相对两侧,即上、下两个表面。该隔热层的相对两侧直接与电芯发生面接触,当电芯一旦发生热失控时,能够最有效地阻隔来自电芯的热量,从而延缓相邻电芯发生热失控,避免引起连锁反应。如果蓄热层的平均厚度与隔热层的平均厚度的比例过低的话,即蓄热层的平均厚度所占比例过小,蓄热层中起蓄热作用的蓄热材料较少,受热分解时能吸收的热量也急剧降低,就起不到吸热及抑制温度上升的作用,而只能靠隔热层的隔热作用,从而不能充分地阻隔热传导,使得相邻电芯受热升温加剧发生热失控;如果蓄热层的平均厚度与隔热层的平均厚度的比例过高的话,即隔热层的平均厚度所占比例过小,隔热层的厚度过薄,作为隔热主体的隔热层中所含有的多孔质材料与中空微粒的含量也就过少,特别是中空微粒的含量减少后,多孔质材料中含有的贯通孔隙可能会被直接暴露,一侧的高温热量会通过该孔隙直接传递到对侧,无法有效阻隔热量。而且当隔热层的厚度过薄,也就是中空微粒所在层的厚度过薄,中空微粒能够形成的空气阻隔层变薄。众所周知,空气是绝好的隔热材料,当空气阻隔层变薄,直接导致对热的阻隔效果变差,也就是热量可以轻易地从隔热层的一侧传递到另一侧。当将制得的隔热防火材料安装在电芯之间时,在电芯发生热失控时,过薄的隔热层无法起到较好的隔热防火效果,导致热量很快传导到相邻电芯,引起连锁热失控反应。考虑到隔热防火材料的隔热防火、缓冲减震以及被应用于电芯之间时的密封性、压缩回弹性,上述蓄热层的平均厚度与隔热层的平均厚度的比例更优选为15~85%。
上述蓄热层的平均厚度优选为100~2000μm,当蓄热层为层状结构分布于隔热层相对两侧时,即每一侧蓄热层的厚度优选为50~1000μm。蓄热层中所含有的蓄热材料越多,形成的蓄热层也就越厚,对热量的吸收也就越多,但最终得到的隔热防火材的厚 度也就越高。考虑到隔热防火材的整体厚度,当蓄热材料与可热熔融的固态难燃粘合剂颗粒进行混合得到混合颗粒,并以铺撒的方式均匀铺放在预先制备好的隔热层的上、下两面时,此时一侧蓄热层的厚度更优选50~200μm。当蓄热材料分散于难燃树脂中,同时也作为密封层位于隔热层两侧时,此时一侧蓄热层的厚度优选200~1000μm。如果一侧蓄热层的厚度过薄的话,由于所含有的蓄热材料过少,在接触温度急剧上升的电芯时,将无法吸收其产生的大量热量,蓄热材料迅速饱和不再吸热,无法有效延缓相邻电芯温度的升高,导致隔热防火材整体的隔热性下降。
上述隔热层的平均厚度优选为600~2400μm。隔热层含有多孔质材料和中空微粒,在隔热防火材料中起到重要的隔热作用。如果隔热层厚度过薄的话,当该隔热防火材被应用于电芯之间作为隔热缓冲材时,一旦电芯在使用过程中出现异常升温,就无法及时有效地阻断热量的传递,从而导致电芯发生连续热失控,严重时会造成驾乘人员来不及逃离,引发重大伤亡事故;如果隔热层厚度过厚的话,就需要通过减少蓄热层或密封层的厚度来调整,蓄热层厚度减少后,在接触温度急剧上升的电芯时,无法吸收其瞬间产生的大量热能。
本发明优选蓄热材料分散于隔热层中。当通过上述方法三制得隔热防火材时,即将蓄热材料粉末撒进预先制备好的含有中空微粒的多孔质材料中,通过物理填充的方式使蓄热材料粉末充分进入到多孔质材料与中空微粒的空隙之间,制得隔热层,也是蓄热层,再使用连续片状材料进行至少相对两面的封装,形成隔热层与蓄热层为同一层结构,并被连续片状材料封装为一体的隔热防火材料。蓄热材分散于隔热层中,与中空微粒混合后,在接触高温物体时,能够同时发挥隔热与吸热的作用,较快阻隔热量的传递。
本发明优选蓄热材料分散于密封层中。当通过上述方法二制得隔热防火材时,即将蓄热材料与液态难燃树脂均匀混合,形成蓄热材料的难燃树脂液,然后将其均匀涂敷在预先制备好的隔热层的上、下两面,在适宜的温度下干燥固化后室温冷却,在隔热层两侧分别形成一层附着有蓄热材料粉末的难燃树脂固化膜,形成分布在隔热层两侧的蓄热层为一体的隔热防火材料,此时,蓄热层即为密封层。上述制得的附着有蓄热材料颗粒的难燃树脂固化膜不仅能吸收大量的热量,又能解决多孔质材料内部的中空微粒从多孔质材料的孔隙中散落出来的问题。蓄热材分散于密封层中,即分布在隔热层的至少相对两侧,通过调整密封层的厚度,可以精确控制蓄热材的使用量。在接触高温物体时,分散于外侧的蓄热材能够第一时间发生热分解吸收热量,减缓热传递。然后,隔热层进一步将热量阻隔,同时一部分热量继续传递到远离热源的蓄热层,蓄热层继续发生热分解吸收热量,隔热与吸热的作用得到最有效的发挥,从而保证隔热防火材具有优异的隔热性能。
本发明的多孔质材料优选为纤维构造体。纤维构造体是指由纤维形成的集合体,如无纺布等。其中,无纺布由于具备一定的厚度,且容易形成多孔结构,并具有一定的压缩回弹性能,作为支撑基材使用的话,具有良好的性能,因此作为优选。无纺布的形态可以是针刺、水刺等,考虑到与气凝胶材料进行复合加工,纤维构造体的形态更优选为具有多孔结构的针刺无纺布。作为针刺无纺布,其针刺密度优选在100针/cm 2以上,针刺密度更优选在150针/cm 2以上,所得纤维构造体中,纤维之间的缠结更多,摩擦力与抱合力更强,整体具有更高的拉伸强度,更高的剪切强度以及剪切模量。也就是形成无纺布的针刺密度尤为重要,如果针刺密度过低的话,无法保证必要的拉伸、剪切等机械性能;如果针刺密度过高的话,无纺布层被反复穿刺,不仅加工性能下降,材料整体所含的孔隙变少,中空微粒的附着量降低,还会引起构成该无纺布的纤维强度发生下降,反而引起剪切性能下降。具体来说,根据ASTM C 273/C 273M测试标准,本发明的隔热防火材料的剪切强度及剪切模量优选在1MPa以上。本发明的隔热防火材料是被应用 于电池中的,由于电池中两枚电芯之间的初始间隔是相对固定的,当电池在使用或充电过程中,会产生大量的热量,电芯受热发生膨胀,厚度就会增加,两枚电芯之间的间隔变窄。此时,纤维构造体可以提供较好的压缩回弹性能,能够吸收电芯鼓胀应力,起到缓冲作用,即本发明的纤维构造体在电芯受热膨胀时可以被压缩,而在电芯冷却收缩后,还能回复到原有的厚度。另外,作为用于电芯间的隔热防火材料,汽车在移动过程中,电芯不断发生振动和相对位移,并带动隔热防火材料发生摩擦剪切作用。因此,需要该隔热防火材料具有较好的剪切强度及剪切模量。
本发明纤维构造体中孔径在5~50μm之间的孔优选占全部孔的50%以上。纤维构造体中存在的孔状结构有利于气凝胶粉末的附着与固定,从而赋予纤维构造体更好的隔热性。如果纤维构造体中的孔过大,气凝胶粉末容易飞散,且分散的均匀性变差;如果纤维构造体中的孔过小,表面张力过大,则气凝胶粉末不易进入孔的内部,附着力变差,受外力振动时容易飞散掉落。如果纤维构造体中5~50μm之间的孔占全部孔的比率过低的话,复合加工时,分散在液体中的气凝胶粉末进入纤维构造体中的孔内,极易发生流动,并快速从纤维构造体中的孔中流出,导致气凝胶粉末无法均匀分散,隔热性能变差。考虑到气凝胶分散液进入显微构造体中的难易程度以及粉末的分散均匀性,上述纤维构造体中孔径在5~50μm之间的孔更优选占全部孔的50~95%。
在常温下,本发明的隔热防火层中纤维构造体的导热系数优选低于0.040W/(m·K)。作为电芯间的隔热材料,作为一种能够有效延缓或阻断电芯热失控,延缓向整个电池系统的传播的热防护材料,构成其主体的纤维构造体必须具备优异的隔热性。如果纤维构造体在常温下的导热系数过高的话,无法有效发挥隔热作用,抑制热扩散,也无法延缓火势蔓延,也有可能迅速将热传导到达相邻的电芯,引起热量快速传递,从而导致连锁热失控,减少了逃生的时间,从而导致事故发生。
上述纤维构造体优选为含有LOI值在28%以上的热塑性纤维与非熔融纤维形成的无纺布。LOI值在28%以上的热塑性纤维,包括但不限于阻燃聚酯类纤维、聚苯硫醚纤维、聚四氟乙烯纤维等。非熔融纤维包括但不限于预氧化纤维、玻璃纤维、酚醛纤维等,这里的非熔融纤维可以作为更耐热的骨架支撑层,使所得隔热阻燃材料保持一定的形状,能够承受形变。其中,热塑性纤维与非熔融纤维的比例为10%:90%~80%:20%。如果热塑性纤维与非熔融纤维的比例过低的话,说明热塑性纤维的含量过少,不足以均匀地覆盖在非熔融纤维的表面,当所得的隔热防火材料遇到高温时,从而无法全面有效地阻断大规模的热失控,该热失控是从失控单体电芯向周围电芯传播;如果热塑性纤维与非熔融纤维的比例过高的话,则该隔热防火材料遇到高温时,过量的热塑性纤维就会发生熔滴,而非熔融纤维过少,导致无法承载熔滴的热塑性纤维,从而制得的隔热防火材料会发生熔滴穿孔,导致热量或火焰快速直接地传向周围的电芯,引发大规模热失控,甚至会造成驾乘人员的伤亡。
本发明的中空微粒优选为气凝胶粉末。气凝胶粉末具有纳米多孔结构,密度极低,作为优异的保温隔热材料,被广泛用于管道、船舶、动车、电池中。然而,气凝胶的强度低、脆性大、力学性能差,若单独使用的话,无法发挥其隔热性。因此,将气凝胶粉末附着于纤维构造体表面,纤维构造体本身由纵横交错的纤维形成多孔结构。该多孔结构可以作为气凝胶粉末的附着基材,能够有效承载气凝胶粉末,从而实现本材料整体优异的隔热性。本发明的气凝胶粉末附着于纤维结构体表面的方法如下:先是将纤维构造体浸入均匀分散的气凝胶分散液中,分散于液体中的具有较小平均直径的气凝胶粉末进入相性较好的纤维构造体内部,然后再将充分吸收气凝胶分散液后的纤维构造体进行轻微加压处理,将表面多余的分散液去除,再进行低温干燥,得到气凝胶粉末附着于纤维 结构体表面复合材料,最后对该复合材料进行封装加工,从而解决了纤维构造体内部的气凝胶粉末从纤维构造体中的孔隙散落出来的问题。
本发明的隔热防火材料中气凝胶粉末的重量比优选为15%以上。如果气凝胶粉末的重量比过低的话,即气凝胶粉末在纤维构造体中的附着量变小,甚至纤维构造体内局部无气凝胶粉末附着,导致气凝胶粉末分散不均匀,从而影响材料的隔热性能的均匀性和稳定性,材料整体的隔热性也变差。考虑到加工成本与隔热性能,本发明的隔热防火材料中气凝胶粉末的重量比更优选为20~80%,进一步优选20~60%。
由于分散在多孔质材料中的中空微粒体积小、比重轻,在外力作用下容易洒落。为了防止因中空微粒的飞散、洒落而引起材料的隔热性能下降的问题,位于多孔质材料外侧的连续片状材料气密性优选在20cm 3/cm 2/s以下,更优选在15cm 3/cm 2/s以下,进一步优选在10cm 3/cm 2/s以下。气密性过高,则密封性变差,当隔热防火材料受外力挤压或冲击时,纤维构造体内部的气凝胶粉末容易飞散、掉落。气密性越低,气凝胶粉末越能够被封锁、固定于纤维构造体内,能够有效起到隔热作用,同时也有利于机械吸盘通过负压对材料进行搬送和装配。
上述连续片状材料优选为膜状材料、由纤维纺织品形成的片材或由连续树脂形成的片状材料。当连续片状材料为膜状材料时,有利于隔热防火材料整体的轻量化,该膜状材料的任意一侧还可以含有热反射材料。热反射材料可以是附着于膜状材料表面的热反射涂料,比如热蒸镀铝等,也可以是热反射连续片状材料,比如铝箔等。热反射材料对于减少热量传递,具有比较明显的阻热效果。该膜状材料可以为耐高温性较好的高分子薄膜,比如聚苯硫醚薄膜,聚酰亚胺薄膜等,也可以为常规的聚酯薄膜,还可以为非耐高温或非阻燃类型的薄膜,比如聚乙烯薄膜。为了整体的隔热防火材料具有优异的阻燃性,非耐高温或非阻燃类型的薄膜材料的克重优选在20g/m 2以下,更优选在15g/m 2以下。该膜状材料可以通过加热的方式发生部分熔融,然后与隔热层中的多孔质材料进行结合;该膜状材料也可以通过热熔胶粉末等粘结剂与隔热层中的多孔质材料进行结合。
当连续片状材料为由纤维纺织品形成的片材时,纤维纺织品更优选由阻燃纤维所构成的纺织品,例如芳纶织物。纤维纺织品形态不限,可以是机织物、编织物或无纺布。
当连续片状材料为由连续树脂形成的片状材料时,优选耐热性或阻燃性较好的涂层材料。比如,无机耐高温涂料中的陶瓷涂料、硅酸盐类涂料等,以及有机耐高温涂料中的氟树脂涂料、有机硅耐高温涂料等。
本发明的隔热防火材料的两面温度差优选大于300℃。即当隔热防火材料的一面与高温热源接触时,热量从温度较高的加热面开始向温度较低的非加热面进行传导,在发生热量传导20分钟后,两面的温度差会大于300℃。当位于隔热防火材料一面的电芯发生热失控时,其温度会快速升高,并将热量迅速传递到隔热防火材料的一侧表面。此时,为了避免电芯发生连锁热失控,隔热防火材料必须具有优异的隔热性能。在热量传递的数分钟之内,材料两面的温度差大于300℃时,可以有效减缓热量传递速度,从而为驾乘人员争取到宝贵的逃生时间。如果隔热防火材料的两面温度差过低的话,电芯升温时,热量会快速传导到相邻电芯,极短时间内引起连锁热失控,从而危及驾乘人员生命。
本发明的隔热防火材料的压缩弹性率为3~15%,锂离子动力电池在充放电时,电芯内部会出现一定的内压力以及变形。因此,放置在电芯间的隔热材料需要有一定的压缩变形以及压缩后的回复力。如果该隔热防火材料的刚性大,即压缩形变小,电池在充放电过程中,电芯内的内压力无法释放,导致电芯外壳受挤压发生变形,降低电池系统寿命以及安全性;如果隔热垫压缩后无法回复,则电芯之间的空隙会变大,行驶时会发生电芯松动、碰撞的现象,导致热失控的概率上升,安全性大幅降低。
本发明的隔热防火材料通过将中空微粒与多孔质材料进行复合加工得到隔热层,并对隔热层进行封装,有效防止中空微粒的飞散、掉落,实现了隔热性与防火性兼备,且轻量化的电芯隔热缓冲材料,该隔热防火材料可应用于电池中。
通过以下实施例对本发明作进一步说明,但本发明的保护范围并不限于实施例,实施例中的各物性参数由下面方法测定。
【体积密度】
体积密度是指材料的质量与物质、闭气孔和开气孔体积之和的比值,单位是g/cm 3。对于具有一定厚度的多孔质材料来说,分别测定该多孔质材料的单位面积重量和厚度,再通过以下公式计算,即可得到该多孔质材料的体积密度。单位面积重量的测试方法:根据JIS L 1096~1999 8.4,使用电子天平,称取10cm×10cm的试样的重量,然后将所得数据乘100,得到换算后每平方米织物的重量,测定5组数据,取5次测试结果的平均值作为该样品的最终测试结果;厚度的测试方法:根据JIS L 1096~1999 8.5,采用手持式厚度仪,测试样品的厚度,测定5组数据,取5次测试结果的平均值作为该样品的最终测试结果。体积密度的计算公式如下:
体积密度(g/cm 3)=单位面积重量(g/m 2)/厚度(mm)/1000。
当多孔质材料表面贴合有密封材料或内部含有中空微粒及其他颗粒物时,先将表层的密封材料剥离之后,再使用与中空微粒或其他颗粒物亲和性较高的溶剂去除中空微粒或其他颗粒物。可以选择以下材料作为溶剂,比如水、甲醇、乙醇、丙酮、正己烷、甲基丙酮等,可以使用其中一种,也可以多种组合使用,能够使多孔质材料不软化、不变形、不溶解的溶剂均可使用。
可以适当选择清洗温度和时间,但需要选择使多孔质材料不软化、不变形、不溶解的溶剂。另外,洗净可以是浸渍处理,也可以增加机械作用,例如超声波洗净之类的方法。
洗涤后进行干燥处理,选择使多孔质材料不软化、不变形、不熔化的温度和时间。第一次清洗、干燥后的多孔质材料的重量,测量标记为W 1。当第二次清洗、干燥后的多孔质材料的重量,测量标记为W 2,当(W 1-W 2)/W 1×100(%)的重量减少率在0.5%以下时,可以认为已经完全去除了中空微粒和其他颗粒物。再采用上述方法,测定多孔质材料的单位面积重量以及厚度,最后计算得到多孔质材料的体积密度。
【中空微粒的平均直径】
将中空微粒取样后固定于样品台上进行镀金处理,采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对中空微粒进行拍摄,拍摄倍率为1000倍,测定50个样本的中空微粒的直径,取该50次的测试结果,计算其平均值,作为该中空微粒的平均直径。
【碳化处理】
在室内常温有氧环境下,对隔热防火材料在温度为600℃下进行平板加热处理,单面处理15分钟后,再对另一面进行加热处理15分钟后,停止加热,取下被处理样品,碳化处理完成。
【导热系数】

【密封层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例】
采用数码显微镜分别拍摄密封层与隔热防火材料整体的横截面,拍摄倍率为50倍,并随机分别测定密封层与隔热防火材料整体各5处的断面高度,取该5次测试结果的平均值,分别作为密封层与隔热防火材料的平均厚度。其中,上、下两层密封层的平均厚度总和记为D 1,防火隔热材料整体的平均厚度记为D 2,密封层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例的计算公式如下:密封层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例=D 1/D 2×100%。
【蓄热材料受热时释放出的水分重量与隔热防火材料重量的比例】
取尺寸为8cm×8cm的方形隔热防火材料,将该样品放置在在温度为600℃,面积为10cm×10cm的加热平台上进行加热处理,为了防止样品发生意外熔化而污染加热平台,在被测隔热防火材料的上、下两侧各放置一枚8cm×8cm、厚度为1mm的方形铜板。铜板可以迅速导热,因此可认为被加热面温度等同于加热平台的温度。计量加热前隔热防火材料的重量为M 0,计量加热处理后至恒重的隔热防火材料的重量为M 1,根据以下公式计算蓄热材料受热时释放出的水分重量与隔热防火材料重量的比例:
水分重量与隔热防火材料的重量比(%)=(M 0-M 1)/M 0×100%。
【蓄热层的平均厚度与隔热层的平均厚度的比例】
采用数码显微镜分别拍摄蓄热层与隔热层的横截面,拍摄倍率为50倍,并随机分别测定蓄热层与隔热层各5处的断面高度,取该5次测试结果的平均值,分别作为蓄热层与隔热层的平均厚度。其中,上、下两层蓄热层的平均厚度总和记为H 1,隔热层的平均厚度记为H 2,蓄热层的平均总厚度占隔热层的比例的计算公式如下:蓄热层的平均总厚度占隔热防火材料整体厚度的比例=H 1/H 2×100%。
【纤维构造体中孔径比率】
根据ASTM F316测试标准,采用美国施多威尔公司的毛细流动孔隙测量仪(设备简称PMI,设备型号CFP-1100-AEX),测试纤维构造体的孔径。测试原理是:从润湿液中将浸润饱和的待测样品取出,放入样品室密封好,然后用气体从样品前面流向样品室。用计算机控制气体压力,使之缓缓增加、直到它达到足以克服最大孔径对应的液体的毛细血管作用,即泡点压力。当压力进一步增加,形成可测量初的气体流动,直到能流动的液体被排空为止。用干样品也会产生流速对压力的数据,并且将其进行实时存储与显示。孔隙直径的计算参考以下公式,采用设备自带的应用程序,计算5~50μm之间的孔所占的比率,从而得到得最终测试结果。
D=4γCosθ/p,
其中,
D=孔隙直径,
γ=液体的表面张力,
θ=接触角,
p=压差。
【中空微粒的重量比】
将未附着中空微粒的多孔质材料进行称重,重量记为S 0,中空微粒附着后的重量记为S 1,计算出中空微粒的重量为S 1-S 0
当被测的多孔质材料中已含有中空微粒时,称取该样品的重量,记为S 1,再使用与中空微粒亲和性较高的溶剂去除中空微粒。可以选择以下材料作为溶剂,比如水、甲醇、乙醇、丙酮、正己烷、甲基丙酮等,可以使用其中一种,也可以多种组合使用,能够使多孔材料不软化、不变形、不溶解的溶剂均可使用。
可以适当选择清洗温度和时间,但需要选择使多孔材料不软化、不变形、不溶解的溶剂。另外,洗净可以是浸渍处理,也可以增加机械作用,例如超声波洗净之类的方法。
洗涤后进行干燥处理,选择使多孔材料不软化、不变形、不熔化的温度和时间。第一次清洗、干燥后的多孔质材料的重量,测量标记为A 1。当第二次清洗、干燥后的多孔质材料的重量,测量标记为A 2,当(A 1-A 2)/A 1×100(%)的重量减少率在0.5%以下时,可以认为已经完全去除了中空微粒,称取此时该样品的重量,记为S 0,计算出中空微粒的重量为S 1-S 0,中空微粒的重量比的计算公式如下:
中空微粒的重量比(%)=(S 1-S 0)/S 0×100%。
【连续片状材料的气密性】
根据JIS L 1096A法,将连续片状材料放置于通气度测试仪上,在125Pa压差下,测试其透气性。随机取N=5进行测试,并将测试结果取平均值,作为最终的气密性测试结果。
【隔热防火材料两面温度差】
将隔热防火材料放置于已经稳定加热后的加热平台上,加热平台稳定后的设定温度为600℃,记为T 1,测试该隔热防火材料加热对面的温度变化,并取测试20分钟内的最高温度,记为T 2,隔热防火材料两面温度差的计算公示如下:
隔热防火材料的两面温度差(℃)=T 1-T 2

【压缩弹性率】
使用SE~15型压缩弹性试验机,在标准模式下,测定加压0.3MPa时样品厚度T 1,然后加压到2MPa,放置一分钟后测试厚度T 2,然后去除压力放置一分钟后,再次测定加压0.3MPa时样品厚度T 3,精确到0.01mm。根据以下公式计算压缩弹性率:压缩弹性率(%)=(T 3-T 2)/(T 1-T 2)×100%。
