实施例2-17和对比例1-6的二次电池与实施例1的二次电池的制备方法相似,不同点在于使用了不同的隔离膜,具体详见表1。
三、性能测试
1、隔离膜的热收缩率(250℃)
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250℃,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,测量隔离膜的宽度,数值标记为a。

在25℃下,将上述各实施例和对比例的电池以1C恒流充电至电压为3.65V,之后以3.65V恒压充电至电流≤0.05C,然后将电池以1C恒流放电至电压为2.5V,此为一个充放电过程,此时的放电容量记为电池首次循环的放电容量。如此反复进行充电和放电循环,记录容量降低至80%的时候循环圈数。
由表1可见,实施例1-实施例17中,第一基膜的熔点大于第二基膜的熔点;同时第一基膜的溶胀率小于第二基膜的溶胀率;其所制得的电池具有较好的循环寿命;而对比例1-对比例6中采用的隔离膜不满足本申请的设计,其所制得的电池的循环寿命较差。因此通过使用本申请所限定的隔离膜,所得电池的可靠性更高。
以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到各种等效的修改或替换,这些修改或替换都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
