Background technology
Lithium ion battery is high as a kind of energy density, output voltage is high, memory-less effect, cycle performance excellent, eco-friendly chemical power source system, there is good economic benefit, social benefit and strategic importance, be widely used in the every field such as mobile communication, digital product, and very likely become the topmost power-supply system of energy storage and electric automobile field.
In lithium ion battery, barrier film mainly plays and prevents both positive and negative polarity from contacting and the effect allowing ionic conduction, is the important part of battery.At present, the TPO diaphragm material mainly with microcellular structure adopted in commercial lithium ion battery, as the single or multiple lift film of polyethylene (Polyethylene, PE), polypropylene (Polypropylene, PP).Due to the feature of polymer itself, although polyalkene diaphragm can provide enough mechanical strengths and chemical stability at normal temperatures, but then show larger thermal contraction under the high temperature conditions, thus cause both positive and negative polarity contact and gather rapidly large calorimetric, although first such as can there is the micropore in PE fusing obstruction polymer in PP/PE composite diaphragm at lower temperature (120 ° of C), block the further generation that effect that ionic conduction and PP still play support prevents electrode reaction, but because the melting temperature of PP also only has 150 ° of C, when temperature rises rapidly, more than the melting temperature of PP, barrier film melting can cause large area short circuit and cause thermal runaway, aggravation thermal accumlation, produce inside battery hyperbar, cause cells burst or blast.Internal short-circuit of battery is the maximum hidden danger of lithium ion battery security.In order to meet the needs of high capacity lithium ion battery development, exploitation high security barrier film has become the task of top priority of industry.At this wherein, the temperature tolerance of ceramic diaphragm excellence and high security become one of main selection replacing conventional polyolefins barrier film.
Ceramic diaphragm (Ceramic-coated Separators) is on the surface of existing polyolefin micropore film base material, and single or double is coated with the protective layer that one deck is uniform, be made up of ceramic microparticle etc., forms porous security functions barrier film.On the basis ensureing the original fundamental characteristics of polyolefin micropore barrier diaphragm, give barrier film high heat-resisting function, reduce the heat-shrinkable of barrier film, thus more effectively reduce inside lithium ion cell short circuit, prevent the battery thermal runaway caused because of internal short-circuit of battery.
At present, mainly by ceramic powder, (the mainly oxide powder of nanometer or sub-micron, as Al for the preparation method of ceramic diaphragm
