Background

With the demand for high energy density of ternary and lithium iron phosphate batteries, the performance demand of separators for lithium batteries is increasing day by day. The conventional lithium ion battery diaphragm in the current market forms a coating film by coating inorganic ceramic on a polyolefin diaphragm so as to improve the high temperature resistance, the wettability and the like of the polyolefin diaphragm.

To solve this problem, the market has gradually emerged vinylidene fluoride polymer-coated membranes, including aqueous vinylidene fluoride polymer coating films and oily vinylidene fluoride polymer coating films. The water-based vinylidene fluoride polymer coating film improves the binding power between the coating film and the pole piece to a certain extent, but has no obvious effect and is easy to fall off, the binding performance between the oil-based vinylidene fluoride polymer coating film and the pole piece is better, but the phenomena of diaphragm hole blocking or air permeability reduction are easy to cause, the lithium ion conduction and the cycle performance of a lithium battery are not facilitated, and the heat resistance of the vinylidene fluoride polymer coating film is insufficient.

Step (2): coating of vinylidene fluoride polymer hybrid coatings

In the above step (2), there is no particular limitation on the method of coating the vinylidene fluoride polymer dope on the surface of the base film, and any suitable method and apparatus in the art may be employed. For example, the vinylidene fluoride polymer mixed slurry in the step (1) can be coated on the surface of the base film by a micro-gravure coating method.

The thickness of the vinylidene fluoride polymer hybrid coating layer is not particularly limited and may be a thickness conventional in the art. For example, after drying, the thickness of the vinylidene fluoride polymer hybrid coating layer may be 0.5 to 10 μm, preferably 0.5 to 5 μm, for example, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 μm, and the like.

The base film may be any base film known in the art to be suitable for a lithium battery, and for example, it may be a microporous film, a porous film, or a nonwoven fabric film. The microporous and porous films may be polyolefin films, for example, polyethylene or polypropylene films. In embodiments, the polyolefin-based film may be a single layer Polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) separator film, or a polyethylene and polypropylene multi-layer composite film (e.g., a polypropylene/polyethylene two-layer film, a polypropylene/polypropylene two-layer film, a polypropylene/polyethylene/polypropylene three-layer composite film, etc.). The polyolefin base film can be prepared by adopting a wet method or a dry method for unidirectional or bidirectional stretching, or adopting a thermally induced phase separation method. The material and the production method of the nonwoven fabric film are not particularly limited, and for example, one or more selected from polypropylene, polyethylene, polyimide, polyamide, polysulfone, polyacrylonitrile, polyester, cellulose, polyether ether ketone, polyphenylene sulfide, polyacrylate, polyphenylene amide, polyarylethersulfone ketone, aramid, and polysulfonamide may be used as the material, and one or more selected from melt blowing, spun bonding, wet papermaking, spunlacing, needle punching, and hot rolling may be used for the production.

The pore size and porosity of the base film are not particularly limited as long as it is suitable for use as a separator for a lithium battery. Generally, the pore diameter is required to be in the range of 0.01 to 0.1. mu.m, for example, 0.02. mu.m, 0.03. mu.m, 0.04. mu.m, 0.05. mu.m, 0.06. mu.m, 0.07. mu.m, 0.08. mu.m, 0.09. mu.m. When the pore diameter is less than 0.01 μm, the lithium ion penetrating ability is too small; the aperture is larger than 0.1 μm, and the battery is easy to be short-circuited when dendrites are generated in the battery. The porosity is generally between 20% and 80%, in particular between 30% and 50%, for example 35%, 40%, 45%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, etc.

The thickness of the base film is not particularly limited as long as it is suitable for use as a separator for a lithium battery. The thickness is generally 30 μm or less, and may be, for example, 3 to 20 μm, 5 to 20 μm or 3 to 16 μm, for example, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm or 15 μm.

And (3):

and (3) enabling the coated diaphragm to pass through a pore-forming pool and an extraction pool, and drying to obtain the vinylidene fluoride polymer coated diaphragm.

And when the diaphragm passes through the pore-forming tank, the vinylidene fluoride polymer mixed coating on the diaphragm or the whole diaphragm is immersed into the aqueous solution in the pore-forming tank. The water solution in the pore-forming pool is a water solution containing 0.01-5 wt% of wetting agent and 1-20 wt% of solvent. And plasticizing the vinylidene fluoride polymer in the pore-forming pool, and releasing the pore-forming agent and part of the solvent in the vinylidene fluoride polymer layer into the aqueous solution to form the vinylidene fluoride polymer skeleton network coating.

The wetting agent can be one or more selected from fluoroalkyl methoxy alcohol ether, polyoxyethylene alkylamine, butyl sodium naphthalene sulfonate, aryl sodium naphthalene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate or sodium alkyl sulfate. The content of the wetting agent in the aqueous solution is preferably 0.05 to 3% by weight, for example, 0.06%, 0.08%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, etc. Without being limited to any theory, the wetting agent is added into the aqueous solution, so that the surface tension of the aqueous solution can be reduced, the affinity of the aqueous solution with the vinylidene fluoride polymer layer and the basement membrane is increased, and the pores of the vinylidene fluoride polymer plasticized network layer are more uniform. If the content of the wetting agent is more than 5 wt% or less than 0.01 wt%, the vinylidene fluoride polymer plasticized network layer has poor pore-forming property, and the air permeability of the coating film is increased.

The solvent can be one or more selected from DMF, DMAC, DMSO and NMP. The solvent content in the aqueous solution is preferably 1 to 10% by weight, for example, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, etc. Without being bound by any theory, the solvent in the vinylidene fluoride polymer layer can be slowly released into the water tank by adding the solvent into the aqueous solution, so that the pore-forming is more uniform. If the content of the solvent is more than 20 wt%, the content of the solvent in the aqueous solution is too high, the release of the solvent in the vinylidene fluoride polymer layer is too slow, and the vinylidene fluoride polymer layer is easy to fall into a water tank along with the solvent; and if the content is less than 1 wt%, the solvent is released too fast, the plasticizing speed of the vinylidene fluoride polymer is increased, a vinylidene fluoride polymer skin layer is formed, and the vinylidene fluoride polymer skin layer and the diaphragm have weaker bonding force and are easy to fall off.

The pore-forming bath temperature is not particularly limited, and a temperature conventional in the art may be employed. Generally, the temperature may be 20 to 90 ℃, preferably 30 to 80 ℃, for example 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70 ℃ and the like. Without being bound by any theory, high temperatures favor dissolution and diffusion of the pore-forming agent in aqueous solution, but too fast dissolution and diffusion is detrimental to obtaining a uniform porous film.

The pore-forming time for immersing the vinylidene fluoride polymer mixed coating layer or the entire separator into the aqueous solution in the pore-forming bath is not particularly limited and may be determined depending on the temperature of the pore-forming bath and the desired porosity. In general, the pore forming time may be from 5 seconds to 1 minute, such as from 10 seconds to 30 seconds, such as 15, 20, 25 seconds, and the like.

When the diaphragm passes through the extraction tank, the vinylidene fluoride polymer mixed coating on the diaphragm or the whole diaphragm is immersed into the aqueous solution in the extraction tank. The water solution in the extraction tank is an alkaline water solution with the pH value of 7.5-10. In the extraction cell, the residual solvent and pore-forming agent in the vinylidene fluoride polymer layer are completely released into the aqueous solution.

The pH can be adjusted by adding a pH adjuster to the water. The pH regulator can be one or more of weak alkali compounds such as ammonia water and sodium bicarbonate or strong alkali compounds such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. The pH of the alkaline aqueous solution is 7.5 to 10, preferably 8 to 9, for example 8.5. Without being limited to any theory, the solvent extraction speed can be increased by controlling the pH of the aqueous solution to be 7.5-10. If the pH of the aqueous solution is greater than 10 or less than 7.5, the extraction rate is slow, the extraction is incomplete, and the increase in gas permeation due to solvent residue is high.

There is no particular limitation on the temperature of the extraction cell, and temperatures conventional in the art may be employed. Generally, the temperature may be 20 to 90 ℃, preferably 30 to 80 ℃, for example 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70 ℃ and the like. Without being bound by any theory, high temperatures favor dissolution and diffusion of the solvent in aqueous solutions, but too fast dissolution and diffusion is detrimental to obtaining a uniform porous film.

The extraction time for immersing the vinylidene fluoride polymer hybrid coating layer or the entire hybrid coating membrane in the aqueous solution in the extraction cell is not particularly limited and may be determined depending on the temperature of the extraction cell and the coating speed. In general, the extraction time may be from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, such as from 1 to 5 minutes, such as 2, 3, 4 minutes, and the like.

In step (3), there is no limitation on the drying method as long as it is suitable for preparing a separator. For example, drying may be employed, for example, drying at 30 to 80 ℃. In an embodiment, the membrane may be baked in 3 sections of ovens, for example, the temperatures of the three sections of ovens may be 30 to 60 ℃, 50 to 80 ℃, and 40 to 60 ℃.

The method for preparing the vinylidene fluoride polymer mixed coating diaphragm can also comprise the operations of preparing a graphite layer, an electrostatic spinning layer, a thermal closure layer, a nano flame-retardant layer and the like according to needs. The above-described operations for preparing the graphite layer, the electrospinning layer, the thermal sealing layer, the nano flame-retardant layer, etc. may be performed by using conventional operations in the art for preparing these layers.

In the present invention, the water used is not particularly limited as long as it is water suitable for preparing a separator in the art, and for example, may be deionized water (DI water), distilled water, or milli-Q water.

Due to the adoption of the method for preparing the vinylidene fluoride polymer mixed coating membrane, the heat-resistant auxiliary agent and the ceramic form the heat-resistant network layer, and the heat shrinkage performance of the membrane is improved, so that the vinylidene fluoride polymer mixed coating membrane has good heat resistance. In addition, the vinylidene fluoride polymer mixed coating diaphragm is prepared by adopting a novel process, and simultaneously, the porosity of the coating is increased by introducing ceramics, so that the permeability is good. In addition, the vinylidene fluoride polymer improves the binding force between the coating and the diaphragm and between the coating and the pole piece, increases the liquid storage capacity of the electrolyte and improves the cycle performance of the lithium battery.

In addition, the vinylidene fluoride polymer hybrid-coated membrane according to the present invention may further include a graphite layer, an electrospun layer, a thermal sealing layer, a nano flame-retardant layer, etc. as necessary, in addition to the base membrane and the ceramic layer and the vinylidene fluoride polymer hybrid-coated layer provided on the surface of the base membrane according to the method of preparing the vinylidene fluoride polymer hybrid-coated membrane according to the present invention, which may be prepared according to a conventional method in the art.

The invention further relates to a lithium battery, which comprises the vinylidene fluoride polymer mixed coating diaphragm.

In addition to the above-described vinylidene fluoride polymer blend separator, the lithium battery may have a structure and components conventional in the art for lithium batteries, for example, a negative electrode, a positive electrode, an electrolyte, an aluminum plastic film, and the like.
