  • the average pore area S1 of the coating is smaller than the average pore area S2 of the porous substrate, thereby making the coating have high heat resistance; since the coating of the present application has high heat resistance, the thickness of the coating can be reduced (for example, the thickness of the coating can be less than or equal to 2 ⁇ m), shortening the active ion transmission distance, and thus the secondary battery can also take into account high energy density and good cycle performance and kinetic performance; in addition, since the coating of the present application has high heat resistance, a thinner porous substrate can be selected, thereby further improving the energy density of the secondary battery.

通常情况下,二次电池包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件包括正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜,隔离膜设置在正极极片和负极极片之间,主要起到防止正极和负极短路的作用,同时可以使活性离子自由通过形成回路。
随着二次电池的应用及推广,人们对二次电池能量密度和动力学性能的要求越来越高。隔离膜减薄是提升二次电池能量密度的一个有效措施。目前商业化二次电池采用的隔离膜通常为聚烯烃多孔膜,例如聚乙烯多孔膜、聚丙烯多孔膜或聚丙烯/聚乙烯/聚丙烯三层复合膜,其熔点在130℃至160℃之间,由此,当其厚度减薄后,隔离膜的耐热性变差,受热时会发生明显的热收缩效应从而使得电池内部正极和负极直接接触导致内短路产生,进而增加了二次电池的安全风险。
为了解决上述问题,目前采用的措施主要是在聚烯烃多孔膜上涂布一层耐热性的无机陶瓷层,其能增加隔离膜的机械强度、减少隔离膜在受热时的收缩程度,降低电池内部正极和负极短路风险。但是,发明人在进一步研究中发现,无机陶瓷层对隔离膜耐热性的改善效果有限,而为了保证隔离膜具有高耐热性,则需要增加无机陶瓷层的涂布厚度,但是由此会延长活性离子传输距离,影响二次电池的循环性能和动力学性能,同时也无法平衡二次电池的能量密度。
因此,现有技术的隔离膜往往很难使二次电池兼顾高能量密度、高热安全性能以及良好的循环性能和动力学性能。
本申请的发明人在研究过程中惊奇发现,通过在隔离膜多孔基材的表面上设置包括三维骨架结构和填料的涂层,并使涂层的平均孔面积小于多孔基材的平均孔面积,能够使隔离膜兼顾高耐热性和高离子导通率,还能够使二次电池兼顾高能量密度、高热安全性能以及良好的循环性能和动力学性能。
隔离膜
具体地,本申请实施方式第一方面提供了一种隔离膜。
所述隔离膜包括多孔基材和设置在所述多孔基材的至少一个表面上的涂层,所述涂层包括三维骨架结构和填料,所述填料中的至少一部分填充在所述三维骨架结构中,沿所述隔离膜的厚度方向,所述涂层的平均孔面积记为S 1,所述多孔基材的平均孔面积记为S 2,则0<S 1/S 2<1。在本申请中,“三维骨架结构”是指具有三维空间形状且具有一定孔隙的结构体,其可由构成所述三维骨架结构的材料相互搭接而成。
发明人在研究隔离膜耐热性的过程中发现,目前多孔基材表面的涂层(例如无机陶瓷层等)的耐热性不佳,而为了保证涂层具有高耐热性,通常需要增加涂层的厚度,但是由此损失了二次电池的能量密度、循环性能以及动力学性能。
发明人在进一步研究中发现,通过使涂层包括三维骨架结构和填料,使填料中的至少一部分填充在所述三维骨架结构中,且使涂层的平均孔面积S 1与多孔基材的平均孔面积S 2满足0<S 1/S 2<1,能够使隔离膜兼顾高耐热性和高离子导通率,并且能够使二次电池兼顾高能量密度、高热安全性能以及良好的循环性能和动力学性能。
涂层包括三维骨架结构和填料,且填料中的至少一部分填充在三维骨架结构中,由此有助于填料与三维骨架结构形成嵌套效果,从而既能增加隔离膜的耐热性,降低隔离膜受热时的收缩程度,降低正极和负极短路风险,使二次电池具有高热安全性能,又能使涂层与多孔基材之间保持高粘结强度,避免填料在二次电池长期充放电过程中脱落。此外,当填料中的至少一部分填充在三维骨架结构中时,填料与三维骨架结构之间的接触位点较多,由此可以降低涂层中粘结剂的使用量,从而有效降低了粘结剂堵孔的风险,并能进一步改善二次电池的循环性能和动力学性能。在一些实施例中,所述填料中的至少一部分填充在所述三维骨架结构中,所述填料中的其他部分可位于所述三维骨架结构的表面和/或所述三维骨架结构与所述多孔基材之间的界面,并且在所述三维骨架结构与所述多孔基材之间的界面位置,还可能出现少部分填料嵌入多孔基材中,例如在电极组件卷绕过程中,由于受到外界压力作用而使界面位置的少部分填料嵌入多孔基材的基体和/或孔中。
涂层的平均孔面积S 1小于多孔基材的平均孔面积S 2,由此可以使涂层具有高耐热性;由于本申请的涂层具有高耐热性,由此可以降低涂层的厚度(例如涂层的厚度可小于等于2μm),缩短活性离子传输距离,进而二次电池还能够兼顾高能量密度以及良好的循环性能和动力学性能;此外,由于本申请的涂层具有高耐热性,由此还可以选用更薄的多孔基材,进而能够进一步提升二次电池的能量密度。
发明人在进一步研究中还发现,涂层的平均孔面积S 1与多孔基材的平均孔面积S 2的比值S 1/S 2也不宜太小。当S 1/S 2太小时,涂层的平均孔面积往往较小,由此可能妨碍活性离子的传输,影响二次电池的循环性能和/或动力学性能。在一些实施例中,0.06≤S 1/S 2<1,可选地,0.10≤S 1/S 2≤0.99,0.20≤S 1/S 2≤0.98,0.30≤S 1/S 2≤0.97,0.30≤S 1/S 2≤0.80,0.30≤S 1/S 2≤0.70,0.35≤S 1/S 2≤0.94,0.35≤S 1/S 2≤0.85,0.40≤S 1/S 2≤0.92,0.40≤S 1/S 2≤0.80,0.40≤S 1/S 2≤0.70,0.45≤S 1/S 2≤0.90。

测试部分

(3)隔离膜的热收缩率测试
样品制备:将上述制备的隔离膜用冲压机冲切成宽度为50mm、长度为100mm的样品,取5个平行样品放置在A4纸上并固定,再将装有样品的A4纸放置在厚度为1mm至5mm的瓦楞纸上。
样品测试:将放置在瓦楞纸上面的A4纸放入鼓风式烘箱,鼓风式烘箱温度设置为150℃,待温度达到设定温度并稳定30分钟后,开始计时,到达设定时间(本申请为1小时)后,测量隔离膜的长度和宽度,数值分别标记为a和b。

(4)二次电池的热箱测试
在25℃下,将二次电池以1C恒流充电至4.2V,继续恒压充电至电流为≤0.05C,静置5min;然后在DHG-9070A DHG系列高温烘箱中带夹具测试各二次电池,以5℃/min 的速率从室温升至80℃±2℃,保持30min;之后再以5℃/min升温速度升温,每升温5℃,保温30min。升温过程中监控二次电池表面温度变化,当温度开始急剧上升时对应的烘箱温度即为二次电池的热箱失效温度。二次电池的热箱失效温度越高,表明二次电池的热安全性能越好。为了准确性,取5个平行样品的平均值作为测试结果。
(5)二次电池的循环性能测试
在25℃下,将二次电池以1C恒流充电至4.2V,继续恒压充电至电流为≤0.05C,此时二次电池为满充状态,记录此时的充电容量,即为第1圈充电容量;将二次电池静置5min后,以1C恒流放电至2.8V,此为一个循环充放电过程,记录此时的放电容量,即为第1圈放电容量。将二次电池按照上述方法进行循环充放电测试,记录每圈循环后的放电容量。二次电池25℃循环1000圈后的容量保持率(%)=1000圈循环后的放电容量/第1圈放电容量×100%。为了准确性,取5个平行样品的平均值作为测试结果。
由表2可见,实施例1-16通过在隔离膜的多孔基材的两个表面设置包含纳米纤维素(构成三维骨架结构)和填料的涂层,并合理控制涂层的平均孔面积S 1与多孔基材的平均孔面积S 2满足0<S 1/S 2<1,能够使隔离膜兼顾低热收缩率和高离子导通率,还能使二次电池兼顾高热安全性能和良好的循环性能。
