技术领域
本申请涉及电池技术领域,具体地,涉及隔离膜及其制备方法、电池和用电装置。
背景技术
在电池结构中,隔离膜是关键的内层结构之一,隔离膜起到隔离正极和负极的作用,防止正极和负极接触短路,在电池使用过程中,隔离膜还需要起到传导离子的作用。目前的隔离膜在较高温度下的稳定性较差,导致电池存在热失控风险。
因此,目前的隔离膜及其制备方法、电池和用电装置仍有待改进。
发明内容

在电池结构中,隔离膜起到隔离正负极以及传导离子的作用,在较高的温度下,隔离膜如果继续传导离子,则可能会由于高温下正负离子交换产生持续升温的问题,导致电池可能出现热失控的风险。通过在隔离膜基材的一侧设置中间层,使得隔离膜在较低的温度下具有较高的孔隙率,充放电过程中可以较好的传导离子,另外,使得隔离膜在较高的温度下孔隙率较低,可以阻碍高温下离子的传导,从而缓解高温下正负离子交换产生的持续升温问题,进而降低电池热失控的风险。
通常情况下,隔离膜可以应用于液态电解质电池或半固态电解质电池中,例如,隔离膜可以应用于液态电解质锂离子电池、半固态电解质锂离子电池等中。
本申请实施例公开的电池可以用于使用电池作为电源的用电装置或者使用电池作为储能元件的各种储能系统。用电装置可以为但不限于手机、平板、笔记本电脑、电动玩具、电动工具、电瓶车、电动汽车、轮船、航天器等等。其中,电动玩具可以包括固定式或移动式的电动玩具,例如,游戏机、电动汽车玩具、电动轮船玩具和电动飞机玩具等等,航天器可以包括飞机、火箭、航天飞机和宇宙飞船等等。

将隔离膜的初始总质量记为A。
隔离膜中电解液的质量含量测试:采用抽真空的方法,隔离膜在40℃,真空度-0.1Mpa下,保持20h后,剩余质量记为B,则(A-B)/A的比值记为电解液的质量含量。

表1隔离膜中各组分的质量含量、隔离膜孔隙率及电池热失控测试结果
通过表1可以看出,实施例1-14中,隔离膜的中间层中具有第一单体,在较低温度下,隔离膜具有较高的孔隙率,在较高温度下,隔离膜中的第一单体聚合,从而阻塞隔离膜的孔隙,使隔离膜的孔隙率显著降低,从而抑制高温下离子的传导,缓解较高温度下正负离 子交换产生的持续升温问题。而对比例1和2中,由于没有添加第一单体,隔离膜在第一温度和第二温度下的孔隙率相差较小,在较高的第二温度下,隔离膜的孔隙率较高,电池热失控测试的热箱温度均较低。
实施例1、实施例3-5相比,可以看出,在一定范围内,隔离膜中第一单体的含量越高,在较高温度下隔离膜的孔隙率越低,电池热失控测试的热箱温度越高。
实施例2、实施例13和实施例14相比,隔离膜中寡聚物的含量越高,第一温度下的孔隙率越高,第二温度下的孔隙率越低,电池热失控测试的热箱温度越高。
实施例11和实施例12相比,隔离膜中无机填料的含量越高,第一温度下的孔隙率越高,第二温度下的孔隙率越低,电池热失控测试的热箱温度越高。
实施例1和实施例6相比,实施例6中加热处理温度较低,隔离膜在第一温度下的孔隙率较高。实施例2和实施例8相比,实施例8中加热温度较低,隔离膜在第一温度下的孔隙率较高。
