为改善上述缺陷,本领域通常的做法是在电池初始阶段,增加正负极之间的间隙,为负极的膨胀预留空间,以减缓电解液传输障碍。但是这样做的弊端是,电池弯曲部和电池平直部的间隙均增加,导致电池的厚度增加,从而造成电池的体积能量密度的损失。

一、二次电池
本申请提供一种二次电池,其包含正极、负极和设置于所述正极和所述负极之间的隔膜,所述正极、所述隔膜和所述负极依次层叠卷绕形成含有弯曲部和平直部的卷绕结构,所述隔膜包括基材、所述基材具有第一表面和与所述第一表面相对的第二表面,所述第一表面上设置有第一涂层,所述第一涂层包括第一聚合物,所述第二表面上设置有第二涂层,其中,在所述弯曲部,相邻的负极和正极之间的距离为d1,在所述平直部,相邻的负极和正极之间的距离为d2,其中1<d1/d2<10,且其中d1和d2采用相同的单位。其中卷绕结构中的平直部可以例如是图1中的基本上平行的上方或下方部分,而弯曲部可以例如是图1中连接上方和下方两个平直部的部分(图1仅展示了左边部分,省略了右边部分)。其中,“上”、“下”、“左”和“右”是图1中电池各部分的相对位置,会随着电池摆放位置或观察视角不同而具有不同方位。
在一些实施例中,d1/d2可为约1.05、约1.5、约2、约3、约4、约5、约6、约7、约8、约9或前述任意两数值之间的范围。
本申请研究发现,通过在正极和负极之间设置一隔膜,其中隔膜经设计以包括基材和分别位于基材的相对的两个表面上的第一涂层和第二涂层,所述第一涂层包括第一聚合物,且其中电池弯曲部的相邻正负极之间的距离d1与电池平直部的相邻正负极之间的距离d2满足1<d1/d2<10 (参见附图1),可以提供空间以缓解电池循环过程中的负极膨胀,从而避免电解液受挤压排出造成的电解液局部缺失,可以避免电池间隙过大导致电解液没有足够的量填充间隙,造成电解液局部缺失,可以保证电池的主体部分(即,平直部)的厚度不显著增加,还可以保证电池的硬度从而改善隔膜与正负极之间的粘结力,并最终提高电池的倍率性能、循环性能、减小电池体积能量密度的损失等。
在一些实施例中,在所述第一涂层表面的250μm×200μm区域内,最大长度处于10μm至30μm之间的所述第一聚合物的颗粒数量为10个至30个。在一些实施例中,前述条件下的第一聚合物的颗粒数量为约10、约15、约20、约25、约30或前述任意两数值之间的范围。本申请研究发现,通过控制第一聚合物的数量在该范围内,可以获得较佳的电池弯曲部厚度,数量越多,相应的d1越大。
在一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物包括由以下单体中的任意一种形成的均聚物或由选自以下单体中的至少两种形成的共聚物:偏氟乙烯、六氟丙烯、乙烯、丙烯、氯乙烯或氯丙烯。在一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物是聚偏氟乙烯。在一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物是聚偏氟乙烯与六氟丙烯或氯乙烯形成的共聚物,例如95wt%聚偏氟乙烯与5wt%六氟丙烯或5wt%氯乙烯形成的共聚物。前述单体中任意一种形成的均聚物或至少两种形成的共聚物均可以实现本申请的技术方案,获得理想的电池性能。然而,经本申请进一步研究发现,一方面,常规的水系聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)作为第一聚合物形成隔膜的第一涂层时,虽然其大粒径可以为负极膨胀预留间隙,但是,由于材料软化点高,导致界面粘接力低,电池的能量密度损失较大。而且电池硬度低,在组装时容易变形、卷绕结构容易错位,引起安全风险。另外硬度低,在电池的充放电过程中,由于负极的无序膨胀会导致正负极之间的界面不平整,使局部出现析锂,从而影响电池性能。另一方面,非水系PVDF作为第一聚合物形成隔膜的第一涂层时,在被热压之后,界面间隙很小,易阻碍电解液的传输,电池主体和拐角均易出现电解液不足,导致嵌锂不足,甚至析锂。而在PVDF中加入六氟丙烯、乙烯、丙烯、氯乙烯或氯丙烯中的至少一者作为第一涂层时,既可以为负极膨胀提供理想的空隙,又可以保证隔膜与正负极之间的粘结力。
在一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物的软化点为90℃至150℃。在一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物的软化点为约95℃、约100℃、约105℃、约110℃、约115℃、约120℃、约125℃、约130℃、约135℃、约140℃、约145℃或前述任意两数值之间的范围。所述第一聚合物软化点太小,会使 得隔膜容易出现堵孔的现象,从而影响锂离子的传输,并最终影响电池的电性能,而所述第一聚合物软化点太高,则会降低隔膜与极片的粘结力低,从而在循环过程中出现活性材料的脱落,并最终影响电池的电性能。通过将所述第一聚合物软化点控制在前述范围内,可以获得理想的电性能。
在一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物的Dv50为3μm至16μm。在一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物的Dv50为约4μm、约5μm、约6μm、约7μm、约8μm、约9μm、约10μm、约11μm、约12μm、约13μm、约14μm、约15μm或前述任意两数值之间的范围。所述第一聚合物的Dv50越大,则越容易在电池的弯曲部制备想要的间隙(即,前述d1),但是,过大的Dv50也会降低电池的体积能量密度。通过将第一聚合物的Dv50控制在上述范围,则可以在为负极膨胀预留空间的同时减小体积能量密度的损失。
在一些实施例中,所述第一涂层还包括第一辅助粘结剂,所述第一聚合物与所述第一辅助粘结剂质量比为2.5至18。在一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物与所述第一辅助粘结剂质量比可以是3、5、7、9、11、13、15、17或前述任意两数值之间的范围。不限于任何理论,当所述第一聚合物与所述第一辅助粘结剂质量比过低时(例如低于2.5),所述第一聚合物的含量下降,使得颗粒状的所述第一聚合物带来的间隙减少,影响电解液在所述第一涂层界面间的传输,同时影响所述第一涂层与电极极片间的粘结力;当所述第一聚合物与所述第一辅助粘结剂质量比过高时(例如高于18),所述第一涂层内聚力较低,所述第一聚合物的粘结性能会随所述第一涂层内聚力的降低而下降。通过控制所述第一聚合物与所述第一辅助粘结剂质量比在上述范围内,能够使所述第一涂层与电极极片间具有优良的粘结力。
本申请对第一辅助粘结剂没有特别限制,只要满足本申请要求即可,例如可以包括聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯、聚丙烯腈、丙烯酸乙酯、丙烯酸丁酯、甲基丙烯酸乙酯、苯乙烯、氯苯乙烯、氟苯乙烯、甲基苯乙烯、丙烯酸、甲基丙烯酸、马来酸、丙烯腈或丁二烯中的至少一种。
在一些实施例中,基于所述第一涂层的总质量,所述第一聚合物的质量百分含量为85%至95%,所述第一辅助粘结剂的质量百分含量为5%至15%。通过控制所述第一聚合物和所述第一辅助粘结剂的含量在上述范围内,能够得到粘接性能优异的第一聚合物,使第一涂层与正极之间具有较高的粘结力,从而提高锂离子电池在低温下的性能。

在一些实施例中,所述第一涂层的涂布面密度W1为0.4g/m 2至2g/m 2。在一些实施例中,所述第一涂层的涂布面密度W1为约0.5g/m 2、约0.6g/m 2、约0.7g/m 2、约0.8g/m 2、约0.9g/m 2、约1.0g/m 2、约1.1g/m 2、约1.2g/m 2、约1.3g/m 2、约1.4g/m 2、约1.5g/m 2、约1.6g/m 2、约1.7g/m 2、约1.8g/m 2、约1.9g/m 2或前述任意两数值之间的范围。所述第一涂层的涂布面密度W1越小,电池的弯曲部厚度越小。通过将所述第一涂层的涂布面密度W1控制在上述范围内,可以实现更好的电性能。
在一些实施例中,所述第二涂层包括第二聚合物。

在一些实施例中,所述第二聚合物包括由以下单体中的任意一种形成的均聚物或由选自以下单体中的至少两种形成的共聚物:丙烯酸乙酯、丙烯酸丁酯、甲基丙烯酸乙酯、苯乙烯、氯苯乙烯、氟苯乙烯、甲基苯乙烯、丙烯酸、甲基丙烯酸、马来酸、丙烯腈或丁二烯。
在一些实施例中,所述第二聚合物由苯乙烯、丙烯腈、丙烯酸异丁酯和/或甲基丙烯酸乙酯形成的共聚物。在一些实施例中,所述第二聚合物由80%苯乙烯,5%丁二烯,5%丙烯酸异丁酯以及10%丙烯腈组成。在一些实施例中,所述第二聚合物由80%苯乙烯,10%丙烯酸异丁酯以及10%丙烯腈组成。在一些实施例中,所述第二聚合物由80%苯乙烯,10%甲基丙烯酸乙酯以及10%丙烯腈组成。
在一些实施例中,所述第二涂层还包括第二辅助粘结剂。所述第二聚合物与所述第二辅助粘 结剂质量比为2至20。在一些实施例中,所述第二聚合物与所述第二辅助粘结剂质量比可以是2、4、6、8、10、14、16或前述任意两数值之间的范围。不限于任何理论,当所述第二聚合物与所述第二辅助粘结剂质量比过低时(例如低于2),所述第二聚合物的含量下降,影响所述第二涂层与电极极片间的粘结力;当所述第二聚合物与所述第二辅助粘结剂质量比过高时(例如高于20),所述第二涂层内聚力较低,所述第二涂层粘结性能下降。通过控制所述第二聚合物与第二辅助粘结剂质量比在上述范围内,能够使所述第二涂层与电极极片间具有优良的粘结力。
在一些实施例中,基于第二涂层的总质量,第二聚合物的质量百分含量为75%至92.5%,第二辅助粘结剂的质量百分含量为7.5%至25%。通过控制第二聚合物和第二辅助粘结剂的含量在上述范围内,能够得到粘接性能优异的第二涂层,使第二涂层与负极之间具有较高的粘结力,从而提高锂离子电池在低温下的性能。

实施例1
隔膜:(1):依据质量比为93.1%∶5.0%∶1.5%∶0.4%,将勃姆石、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯、聚丙烯酸、聚氧乙烯醚分散于溶剂体系(水)中,充分搅拌均后,涂敷于隔膜基材的第一表面上,经过烘干,得到具有位于基材的基膜第一表面上的无机涂层的隔膜(简称“无机涂层隔膜”或“耐热层”)。虽然此处将无机颗粒涂覆在基材的基膜第一表面上,应理解,无机颗粒也可以涂覆在基材基膜的另一个表面,或同时涂覆在基材基膜的两个表面,或者基材基膜的两个表面上均未涂覆无机颗粒。
(2)将所选取的第一聚合物(聚偏氟乙烯,100%)、第一辅助粘结剂(聚丙烯腈)和第一润湿剂(聚氧乙烯醚)按照质量比89.5%、10%和0.5%的比例分散于水中,充分搅拌混合均匀后,涂覆于步骤(1)得到的无机涂层隔膜的第一表面上(即,将第一聚合物涂覆在无机涂层上方),经过烘干,得到具有位于无机涂层隔膜的第一表面上的第一涂层的隔膜。
(3)将所选取的第二聚合物(80%苯乙烯,10%丙烯酸异丁酯,10%丙烯腈聚合形成的共聚物)、第二辅助粘结剂(聚甲基丙烯酸酯)和第二润湿剂(有机硅氧烷)按照质量比79.5%、20%和0.5%的比例分散于水中充分搅拌混合均匀后,涂覆于步骤(2)中获得的无机涂层隔膜的第二表面上,经过烘干,得到本实施例所需隔膜。
其中,在上述制备隔膜的过程中,第一涂层覆盖率(即,所述第一涂层在所述第一表面上的正投影面积占所述第一表面的面积比例)为40%,第一聚合物的软化点为125℃,第一聚合物的Dv50为12μm,第一聚合物的面密度W1为1g/m 2,在所述第一涂层的表面的250μm×200μm区域 内,长度处于10μm至30μm之间的所述第一聚合物的颗粒数量为25个。其中,第二聚合物的Dv50为0.7μm,第二聚合物的面密度W2为0.2g/m 2

负极:将活性物质人造石墨、导电剂乙炔黑、粘结剂丁苯橡胶(SBR)、增稠剂碳甲基纤维素钠(CMC)按照质量比约为95∶2∶2∶1在去离子水溶剂体系中充分搅拌混合均匀后,涂覆于Cu箔上烘干、冷压,得到负极。

如下表1具体示出了实施例1至45和对比例1至3中的电池参数的差异。除了对比例3因为没有涂层而相应地不具有第一/二辅助粘结剂和第一/二润湿剂外,其它实施例和对比例的第一/二辅助粘结剂和第一/二润湿剂的种类和含量与上述实施例1中的参数相同,表格中不再赘述。如下表格仅展示各实施例和对比例的不同参数设置。实施例45与实施例4的区别仅在于实施例43不含有无机涂层。

测试方法
(1)d1、d2的测试方法:
采用电子计算机断层扫描仪器(CT),放大到300%的倍率,分别扫描电池的弯曲部和平直部,得到横截面图像,取10个点测量弯曲部相邻两层正极集流体之间的最短距离取平均值为D1(此处的“相邻”并非指物理上彼此接触,而是指在所测量的这两个正极集流体之间不存在另一正极集流体,很显然,这两个正极集流体之间还会有隔膜以及负极集流体),则d1=D1/2,取10个点测量平直部处上述相邻两层正极集流体之间的最短距离取平均值为D2,则d2=D2/2,弯曲部选取的相邻两层正极集流体和平直部选取的相邻两层正极集流体是相连接对应的,即,如图1所示的那样,用来测试弯曲部的两层正极集流体和用来测试平直部的两层正极集流体是相同的两层正极集流体。
具体来讲,参见附图1:1为正极膜片(正极活性物质层),2为正极集流体,3为隔膜,4为负极膜片(负极活性物质层),5为负极集流体。正极集流体2的上下两个表面上均具有正极膜片(正极活性物质层)3,负极集流体5的上下两个表面上均具有负极膜片(负极活性物质层)4。取10个点测量弯曲部的相邻的两个正极集流体之间的距离取平均值为D1以及取10个点测量平直部的相邻的两个正极集流体之间的距离取平均值为D2,并计算得到d1=D1/2和d2=D2/2。
(2)第一聚合物的颗粒数量
将涂有第一涂层的隔离膜裁切为10mm×10mm样品,然后将样品放置在SEM下以500倍放大倍率观察,并在视野中选取任意5个250μm×200μm区域内观察,区域,记录所选取区域中第一聚合物颗粒最大长度处于10μm至30μm之间的颗粒数量,然后取平均值,即为第一涂层单位面积区域内第一聚合物颗粒最大长度处于10μm至30μm之间的颗粒数量。
(3)第一涂层的覆盖率
将涂有第一涂层的隔离膜裁切为10mm×10mm样品,然后将样品放置在SEM下以500倍放大倍率观察,并在视野中选取任意5个250μm×200μm区域。使用图像分割算法将第一涂层标识并拟合计算,得到其覆盖面积S,覆盖率=S/(250×200)*100%,取5个位置的平均覆盖率得到第一涂层的覆盖率。
(4)软化点
采用通用型差示扫描量热仪(DSC)法:分别取5mg各实施例和对比例制备的第一聚合 物样品,以5℃/min的升温速率升温至150℃,采集DSC曲线,由所得DSC曲线确定第一聚合物的软化点,也即软化温度。
(5)颗粒Dv50
将第一聚合物分散在去离子水中,搅拌均匀。取浆料通过马尔文粒度测试仪进行颗粒度测量:将分散好的样品加入到马尔文粒度测试仪内,开始测试。测试结束可分别得到第一聚合物的颗粒度数据。无机颗粒以及第二聚合物的Dv50采用同样的测试方法。
(6)面密度
使用电子称测试涂层面密度,精度0.0001g。取涂布前的隔膜基材,裁切成10000mm 2,5片,称重取平均值m得到基材重量。取涂布第一涂层后的隔膜,裁切成10000mm 2,5片,称重取平均值M得到涂布第一涂层后的隔膜的重量,则第一涂层的面密度=M-m,通过单位转换可将单位变成g/m 2。第二涂层面密度采用相同的测试方法。
(7)粘结力
采用180力剥离测试标准测试隔膜与正负极干压粘结力,将隔膜和正负极裁切成54.2mm×72.5mm样品,将隔膜与正极/负极复合,使用热压机热压,在温度为85度、压力为1Mpa的条件下维持85秒,将复合好的样品裁切成15mm×54.2mm小条,按照180°剥离测试标准测试粘结力。分别测试得到第一涂层与负极的粘结力、第一涂层与负极的粘结力、第二涂层与正极的粘结力、第二涂层与负极的粘结力。
(7)电池宽度
采用影像投影仪测试电池的宽度,将卷绕好的电池置于两片透明玻璃板之间,电池长度方向平行于玻璃板宽度方向,电池宽度方向平行于玻璃板的长度方向,玻璃板的长度大于电芯宽度至少100%,玻璃板宽度大于电池长度至少10%。在玻璃板长度方向且不覆盖电池的地方,使用两个30kg的夹子加紧电池,然后将电池平放于影像投影仪的测量桌面上,使用影像投影仪测量出电芯宽度,沿长度方向测试5个位置的宽度,取其平均值得到电池宽度
(8)电池硬度
采用三点弯曲法测试电池硬度:在25:下进行操作,将电池完全放电至3.0V,极耳做绝缘保 护。将万能试验机(Instron-3365)的硬度测试夹具下支撑杆的间距调整到电池宽度的2/3,电池平放在下夹具上,宽度方向与支撑杆垂直。调整夹具的上压头与宽度方向垂直,并处于电池的正中央位置,以5mm/min的速度往下压,上压头刚开始接触电池时,记录电池形变位移,当负载力从最大开始变小时,停止测试,取最大的抗形变的力作为电池的最大硬度。下支撑杆为圆弧形,直径10mm;上压头为圆弧形,直径10mm。
(9)电池倍率放电性能测试方法
-20℃条件下0.5C放电性能:电池25℃环境下静置5分钟,1.5C的充电电流下进行恒流充电,直到电池电压为4.45V,4.45V恒压充电到充电电流为0.05C,静置5分钟后,在0.5C的放电电流下进行恒流放电,直到电池电压为3V,记录首次循环的放电容量C1;重复以上充电流程,将电池充满电;然后将电池置于-20℃环境下,静置60分钟,在0.5C的放电电流下进行恒流放电,直到电池电压为3V,记录放电容量C2,则-20℃ 0.5C的放电性能=C2/C1*100%。
25℃条件下不同倍率放电性能:电池常温下静置5分钟,1.5C的充电电流下进行恒流充电,直到电池电压为4.45V,4.45V恒压充电到充电电流为0.05C,静置5分钟后,在0.2C的放电电流下进行恒流放电,直到电池电压为3V,记录首次循环的放电容量D1;重复以上充电流程,将电池充满电,在xC的放电电流下进行恒流放电,直到电池电压为3V,记录此时的放电容量Dx,则不同倍率的放电性能=Dx/D1*100%,其中x=2、5。
12放条件下循环500次容量保持率:取被测电池在12℃测试温度下,静置30分钟,以2C的电流将电池恒流充电至4.45V,再以4.45V的恒压充电至0.05C;静置5分钟,再以1C的电流恒流放电至3.0V,静置5分钟。重复上述充放电流程500次,记录每一次循环后放电容量。通过下式计算电池第500次循环后容量保持率:第500次循环后容量保持率=(第500次循环后放电容量/首次循环的放电容量)x100%

结果讨论
1.探讨无机涂层(即耐热层)、第一涂层和第二涂层的有无以及d1/d2对电池性能的影响
参考上述表1可知,实施例1-45满足关系式1<d1/d2<10,其中实施例1-44的隔膜的第一表面具有耐热层和位于耐热层上的第一涂层,且其隔膜的第二表面具有耐热层和位于耐热层上的第二涂层,实施例45的隔膜的第一表面和第二表面分别具有第一涂层和第二涂层,而对比例1与实施例1-44的区别在于其d1/d2=1,对比例2与实施例1-44的区别在于其d1/d2=11,对比例3与实施例1-45的区别在于其隔膜没有任何涂层。
参考上述表2可知,实施例1-45以及对比例1和2的电池的硬度相当(规格要求大于120N),但是实施例1-45的电池的放电性能以及低温循环性能均优于对比例1和对比例2中的电池的放电性能以及低温循环性能,这主要是因为:对比例1中的d1/d2过低,电池弯曲部间隙过小,循环过程中负极膨胀时,电解液受挤压排出造成电解液局部缺失,循环性能恶化,而对比例2中的d1/d2过大,导致电池的弯曲部间隙过大,当电解液消耗后,易造成电解液局部缺失,循环性能恶化。
实施例1-45和对比例3的电池放电性能以及低温性能相当,但是实施例1-45的电池硬度显著大于对比例3中电池的硬度,而对比例3中过低的电池硬度则导致电池在组装时容易变形、卷绕结构容易错位,引起安全风险;另外硬度低,在电池的充放电过程中,由于负极的无序膨胀会导致正负极之间的界面不平整,使局部出现析锂,从而影响电池的性能。
很显然,通过在正极和负极之间设置一隔膜,其中隔膜经设计以包括基材和分别位于基材的相对的两个表面上的第一涂层和第二涂层,其中第一涂层包括第一聚合物,且其中电池弯曲部的相邻正负极之间的距离d1与电池平直部的相邻正负极之间的距离d2满足1<d1/d2<10,可以提供 空间以缓解循环过程中的负极的膨胀,避免电解液受挤压排出造成电解液局部缺失,可以避免间隙过大导致电解液没有足够的量填充间隙,造成电解液局部缺失,可以保证电池的主体部分(即,平直部)的厚度不显著增加,还可以保证电池的硬度从而改善隔膜与正负极之间的粘结力,从而提高电池的倍率性能、循环性能、减小电池体积能量密度的损失等。
本申请进一步研究发现,相比于不具有耐热涂层的实施例45,实施例4的各项性能,尤其是电化学性能,进一步得到改善。这主要是因为,基材表面与聚合物涂层的界面处相对比较致密,不利于锂离子的传输,而耐热涂层中的无机颗粒可以松散该界面结构,例如,无机颗粒可以引入一些空隙,使得锂离子传输更加通畅,降低扩散阻力,等,从而进一步改善电化学装置的电性能。
2.探讨卷绕层数
参考表1和表2可知,尤其是实施例11-13,在本申请的一些实施例中,电池的卷绕层数为N,其中N≥4。卷绕层数的增加导致电池弯曲部的内层受到的挤压增加。卷绕层数越多,电池弯曲部的内层受到的挤压越大,越容易出现电解液局部缺失。使用本隔膜后,可以在弯曲部提供电解液传输和存储的空间,对于不同卷绕层数的电池,均可以获得较佳的电性能。
3.探讨第一聚合物的个数
参考表1和表2可知,尤其是实施例4和14-17,在本申请的一些实施例中,在所述第一涂层的表面的250μm×200μm区域内,长度处于10μm至30μm之间的所述第一聚合物的颗粒数量为10个至30个。本申请研究发现,通过控制第一聚合物的数量在该范围内,可以获得较佳的电池弯曲部厚度数量越多,相应的d1越大。
4.探讨第一聚合物的覆盖率
参考表1和表2,尤其是实施例4和18-22,在本申请的一些实施例中,所述第一涂层在所述第一表面上的正投影面积占所述第一表面的面积比例为5%至60%。本申请研究发现,第一涂层的覆盖率过低会使得隔膜和极片的粘结力过低,从而导致电池硬度过低;而第一涂层的覆盖率过高则易造成隔膜堵孔,影响锂离子的传输,并最终影响电池的电性能。通过将所述第一涂层的覆盖率控制在前述范围内,可以获得较佳的电池硬度,且同时保持较好的电性能。
5.探讨第一聚合物的种类
参考表1和表2,尤其是实施例4与27-28,可知,在本申请的一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物包括由以下单体中的任意一种形成的均聚物或由选自以下单体中的至少两种形成的共聚物:偏氟乙烯、六氟丙烯、乙烯、丙烯、氯乙烯或氯丙烯。
应当理解,前述单体中任意一种形成的均聚物或至少两种形成的共聚物均可以实现本申请的技术方案,获得理想的电池性能。然而,经进一步研究发现,一方面,常规的水系聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)作为第一聚合物形成隔膜的第一涂层时,虽然其大粒径可以为负极膨胀预留间隙,但是,由于材料软化点高,导致界面粘接力低,电池的能量密度损失较大(相比于非水系PVDF减少约2%);而且电池硬度低,在组装时容易变形、卷绕结构容易错位,引起安全风险;另外硬度低,在电池的充放电过程中,由于负极的无序膨胀会导致正负极之间的界面不平整,使局部出现析锂,从而影响电池性能。另一方面,非水系PVDF作为第一聚合物形成隔膜的第一涂层时,在被热压之后,界面间隙很小,易阻碍电解液的传输,电池弯曲部和平直部均易出现电解液不足,导致嵌锂不足,甚至析锂。而在PVDF中加入六氟丙烯、乙烯、丙烯、氯乙烯或氯丙烯中的至少一者来形成第一涂层时,既可以为负极膨胀提供理想的空隙,又可以保证隔膜与正负极之间的粘结力。
6.探讨第一聚合物的软化点
参考表1和表2,尤其是实施例4与25-28,可知,在本申请的一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物的软化点为90℃至150℃。本申请研究发现,所述第一聚合物软化点太小,会使得隔膜容易出现堵孔的现象,从而影响锂离子的传输,并最终影响电池的电性能,而所述第一聚合物软化点太高,则会降低隔膜与极片的粘结力低,从而在循环过程中出现活性材料的脱落,并最终影响电池的电性能。通过将所述第一聚合物软化点控制在前述范围内,可以获得理想的电性能。
7.探讨第一聚合物的Dv50
参考表1和表2,尤其是实施例4和29-31,可知,在本申请的一些实施例中,所述第一聚合物的Dv50为3μm至16μm。本申请研究发现,所述第一聚合物的Dv50越大,则越容易在电池的弯曲部制备想要的间隙(即,前述d1),但是,过大的Dv50也会降低电池的体积能量密度。通过将第一聚合物的Dv50控制在上述范围,则可以在为负极膨胀预留空间的同时减小体积能量密度的损失。
8.探讨所述第一涂层的涂布面密度
参考表1和表2,尤其是实施例4和32-34,可知,在本申请的一些实施例中,所述第一涂层的涂布面密度W1为0.4g/m 2至2g/m 2。本申请研究发现,所述第一涂层的涂布面密度W1越小,电池的弯曲部厚度越小。通过将所述第一涂层的涂布面密度W1控制在上述范围内,可以实现更好的电性能。
9.探讨第二聚合物的种类、Dv50以及第二涂层涂布面密度
参考表1和表2,尤其是实施例4和35-36,可知,在本申请的一些实施例中,所述第二聚合物包括由以下单体中的任意一种形成的均聚物或由选自以下单体中的至少两种形成的共聚物:丙烯酸乙酯、丙烯酸丁酯、甲基丙烯酸乙酯、苯乙烯、氯苯乙烯、氟苯乙烯、甲基苯乙烯、丙烯酸、甲基丙烯酸、马来酸、丙烯腈或丁二烯。前述范围内的任意一种第二聚合物均可以获得隔膜与负极之间的较强的粘结力。参考表1和表2,尤其是实施例4和37-41,在一些实施例中,所述第二聚合物的Dv50为0.2μm至8μm。参考表1和表2,尤其是实施例4和42-44,在一些实施例中,所述第二聚合物的涂布面密度W2为0.1g/m 2至1g/m 2
如上是本申请所列举的实施例。然而,由于申请人不能穷举所有的实施例,凡是基于本申请的教导而做出的其它等价的实施例均属于本申请的保护范畴。综上,本申请提供了一种简单易行、且适用于工业化生产的方法来制备具有较高的倍率性能、循环性能以及硬度的二次电池。
