隔膜
隔膜作为电化学装置的重要组成部分,位于电化学装置的正极和负极之间以在传输金属离子(例如,锂离子)的同时隔离正极和负极,实现防止短路的功能。然而,当被非正常使用时,电化学装置的电极组件内部的温度可能会急剧升高,导致隔膜产生较大程度的热收缩甚至熔融,从而造成正负极之间直接接触而发生短路。一旦发生短路,电化学装置内部会发生热失控,从而发生起火、爆炸等安全问题。
现有技术通常会在电化学装置中采用油性隔膜(例如,芳纶耐高温隔膜)来提高隔膜对高温的耐受性。然而,油性隔膜对生产工艺的要求很高,且会产生环境污染等问题。另外,相比于水性隔膜,油性隔膜的生产成本较高,因此会相应的增加电化学装置的生产成本。
至少基于对现有技术的上述洞察,本申请以水性隔膜作为研究对象,通过改善隔膜中多孔涂层的成分和其含量来提高隔膜的热稳定性和机械安全性能。具体的,本申请提出的隔膜包括多孔基材和多孔涂层,多孔涂层设置在多孔基材的至少一个表面上,多孔涂层包括无机颗粒和粘结剂。其中,本申请隔膜的一个主要特征在于:所述粘结剂包括第一粘结剂,所述第一粘结剂包括金属元素,其中以直径为R且加热到500℃的圆针对隔膜进行热穿刺得到在隔膜上产生的破裂孔, 对破裂孔边缘上的任意两点进行连线并计算两点之间的距离,取最大值为r,以及其中,400μm≤R≤1000μm且0.9≤r/R≤5。
根据本申请的其中一个实施例,图1示出了经直径为R(500μm)且加热到500℃的圆针热穿刺后隔膜的CCD相机拍摄的图像。如图1所示,经高温圆针热穿刺后会在隔膜上产生破裂孔,而在CCD相机的观察下,找到破裂孔边缘上距离最远的两点,并计算这两点之间的距离r,其中r为451μm。与之相比,采用现有技术常用的水性隔膜进行相同的热穿刺实验,由图2可以看出,现有技术的水性隔膜会产生破损孔面积较大,例如,该孔边缘上距离最远的两点之间的距离高达3088μm。破损孔面积的增大会造成正负极之间的接触风险增大,从而造成电池内部短路,导致电池热失控。
在一些实施例中,R可以,但不限于为400μm、500μm、600μm、700μm、800μm、900μm或1000μm,或者处于上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。在一些实施例中,r/R可以,但不限于为0.9、1、1.2、1.4、1.6、1.8、2、2.2、2.4、2.6、2.8、3、3.2、3.4、3.6、3.8、4、4.2、4.4、4.6、4.8或5,或者处于上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。在一些实施例中,1≤r/R≤1.5。在一些实施例中,1≤r/R≤2.5。在一些实施例中,1≤r/R≤3.5。在一些实施例中,1≤r/R≤4.5。
在一些实施例中,400μm≤r≤1500μm。例如,r可以,但不限于为400μm、500μm、600μm、700μm、800μm、900μm、1000μm、1100μm、1200μm、1300μm、1400μm、或1500μm,或者处于上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。
在一些实施例中,粘结剂的压缩强度为αMPa,其中0.5≤α≤10。当粘结剂的压缩强度处于上述范围内时,粘结剂不仅能够将分散的无机颗粒牢固地连接成网络骨架结构,还能够将无机颗粒与基材粘接在一起从而成为一体,最终提高隔膜整体的压缩强度,使得隔膜能够更好地抵抗应力冲击,进一步抑制冲击导致的破损,从而进一步改善电化学装置的热安全性能和机械安全性能。在一些实施例中,α可以,但不限于为0.5、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、或10,或者处于上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。
在一些实施例中,粘结剂的玻璃化转变温度为Tg,其中150℃≤Tg≤300℃。当粘结剂的玻璃化转变温度处于上述范围内时,粘结剂在高温下不易变软,也不易变脆,且能够处于适当的强度来抵抗应力冲击,减少冲击造成的破损,从而进一步改善电化学装置的热安全性能和机械安全性能。在一些实施例中,Tg可以, 但不限于为150℃、200℃、250℃、或300℃,或者处于上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。
在一些实施例中,第一粘结剂中的金属元素包括化合价为+1、+2或+3的金属元素中的至少一种。在一些实施例中,第一粘结剂还包括羧基或磺酸基中的至少一种。第一粘结剂中的金属离子能够与其中的羧基或磺酸基络合形成金属键,进一步提高粘结剂的强度(例如,压缩强度),使得隔膜能够更好地应对应力冲击,抑制冲击导致的破损,从而进一步改善电化学装置的热安全性能和机械安全性能。
在一些实施例中,第一粘结剂中的金属元素包括化合价为+1、+2或+3的金属元素中的至少两种。相较于仅含有一种金属元素,在第一粘结剂中使用至少两种不同的金属元素能够进一步增强粘结剂的强度,从而进一步改善隔膜应对应力冲击的能力以及其在高温下的稳定性。这可能是由于相较于单一金属元素,不同的金属元素更易与粘结剂中的羧基和/或磺酸基形成互穿金属键以构建互穿交联网络结构,从而改善材料力学性能。
在一些实施例中,化合价为+1的金属元素包括Li、Na或K中的至少一种。在一些实施例中,化合价为+2的金属元素包括Ca、Mg或Ba中的至少一种。在一些实施例中,化合价为+3的金属元素包括Al。在一些实施例中,第一粘结剂包括Li、Na、Ca、Mg或Al中的至少一者。

在一些实施例中,第一粘结剂同时包括化合价为+1和+3的金属元素,其中化合价为+1的金属元素与化合价为+3的金属元素的摩尔含量比为b,1≤b≤50。在一些实施例中,b可以,但不限于为1、10、20、30、40或50,或者处于上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。
在一些实施例中,第一粘结剂同时包括化合价为+2和+3的金属元素,其中化合价为+2的金属元素与化合价为+3的金属元素的摩尔含量比为p,1≤p≤10。在一些实施例中,p可以,但不限于为1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9或10,或者处于上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。
在一些实施例中,第一粘结剂满足以下条件中的至少一者:

在一些实施例中,通过调整第一粘结剂中羧基或磺酸基以及金属元素的含量和比例能够调整第一粘结剂的pH值。在一些实施例中,第一粘结剂pH值为pH 1,7≤pH 1≤11。当第一粘结剂的pH值处于上述范围内时,第一粘结剂能够提供足够多的金属离子与其中的羧基或磺酸基形成金属离子络合键,从而进一步改善隔膜的热稳定性和机械性能。在一些实施例中,pH 1可以,但不限于为7、8、9、10或11,或者处于上述任意两个数值所组成的范围内。
在一些实施例中,第一粘结剂包括,但不限于,以下各者中的至少一种:聚甲基纤维素钠、聚甲基纤维素锂、聚羧甲基纤维素锂、聚羟丙基甲基纤维素锂、聚丙烯酸钙、聚丙烯酸锂、或聚甲基丙烯酸钙。
