Background
Aramid fiber is used as a novel special polymer material, and the aramid fiber varieties which are commercially produced at present mainly comprise meta-aramid (PMIA, aramid 1313), para-aramid (PPTA, aramid 1414) and copolymerization modified aramid. The molecular structure of the meta-aramid is shown in figure 1-a, and amido bonds are connected to the No. 1 and No. 3 positions of two benzene rings. The meta-aramid fiber has excellent heat resistance, flame resistance, insulativity and textile processability, and is mainly used for fire prevention, electrical insulation, individual protection and high-temperature filtration, dust removal and flue gas treatment in chemical production. The poly-copolymerized aramid fiber also has excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, aging resistance, radiation resistance, electrical insulation and mechanical properties, and is mainly used for coating rubber products, wires and cables. The molecular structure of the para-aramid is shown in figure 1-b, and amido bonds are connected to the No. 1 and No. 4 positions of two benzene rings. The para-aramid material has high strength and high modulus, and is mainly applied to the fields of advanced composite materials, protective materials, industrial fabrics, building structure reinforcing materials, friction materials, sealing materials and the like.
With the rise of the domestic and foreign diaphragm coating industries, many researches on domestic aramid fiber coating are focused in recent years, the aspects of physical and chemical modification of aramid fiber are focused, unmodified or modified meta-aramid fiber can be directly applied to diaphragm coating, and the fiber is filled in the coating as a filler, so that the heat resistance of the diaphragm is favorably improved; because meta-aramid is easily dissolved in a polar organic solvent, meta-aramid can be dissolved in the polar organic solvent and then prepared into slurry by adding an inorganic filler and coated on a diaphragm to prepare a meta-aramid coating diaphragm, but aramid coating diaphragms prepared by two schemes have some defects: the meta-aramid fiber is directly applied to the coating, and has a series of problems of poor dispersion, agglomeration, uneven coating thickness, unstable heat resistance and the like; the prepared slurry after the meta-aramid fiber is dissolved is coated on the diaphragm, the lyophilic capability of the coating is poor, the porosity is low, the uniformity is general, the problems of insufficient heat resistance, high moisture and large static electricity exist, and the prepared coating diaphragm can not completely embody the advantages of the aramid fiber coating diaphragm when applied to a battery. Therefore, the aramid fiber coating diaphragm prepared by the two schemes is not satisfactory.
The para-aramid has high structural symmetry, higher regularity, higher product orientation degree and crystallinity and better heat resistance. The problem of insufficient heat resistance can be obviously improved by adopting the para-aramid fiber, but if the para-aramid fiber is directly applied to the diaphragm, the problem of consistency with the meta-aramid fiber also exists; and because the para-aramid can only be dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid and is not dissolved in any other organic solvent, the para-aramid can not be prepared into a solution and can not be coated and applied to the diaphragm in the form of slurry.
In addition, inorganic nano materials used in the traditional process are not generally modified, and the problems of poor powder dispersion, agglomeration and sedimentation and uneven coating exist in practical application, so that the uniformity and the appearance quality of a coating are seriously influenced.
CN 201510453815.X replaces inorganic particle pore-forming agent by adding hydrophilic emulsifier, so that coating uniformity and pore-forming uniformity are improved, interface hydrophilicity between aramid fiber slurry and water is improved, and coagulation bath time required after coating can be reduced; in the preparation method, the emulsifier cannot be uniformly distributed, so that the lyophilic property of the coating surface layer is poor, the emulsifier is easy to separate from the coating layer, and the electrochemical performance in actual use is not high.
CN 201610847515.4 design and prepared two-sided coated lithium battery diaphragm, one side is aramid fiber coating, and the opposite side is inorganic particle coating, has aramid fiber and inorganic coating's advantage concurrently, but need carry out the coating of two aspect respectively in actual production, and the coating mode is complicated, and the coating separates scheduling problem easily to appear, though can solve these problems, whole coating process is difficult to stable production.
CN 201711023392.3 is through the mode that uses graphite alkene-aramid fiber mixed coating, including the base film, graphite alkene-aramid fiber composite coating, through setting up graphite alkene/aramid fiber composite coating, coating thick liquid aramid fiber, solvent, cosolvent, binder, pore-forming agent and graphite alkene and make, this invention has combined the graphite alkene system of hot door, but the graphite system adhesion that uses is very little in the actual industrialization, easy emergence is peeled off, if use the binder too much will take place the phenomenon of stifled hole, unsuitable with actual industrial application.
CN 201711025311.3 is through using microwave radiation heating two-sided coated meta-aramid to coat wet film, and microwave heating method and plasma method all belong to high energy modification field, cause destruction to surface layer structure very easily, although can produce the specific surface area who increases the aramid fiber surface, can not follow the problem that changes lyophilic performance from fundamental, are not suitable for industrial production.
Therefore, the following problems generally exist in the conventional process:
1. the added emulsifier cannot be uniformly distributed, so that the hydrophilicity of the coating surface is poor, the emulsifier is easy to separate from the coating, and the electrochemical performance in actual use is not high;
2. multiple coating, multilayer structure, complex process, difficult solution of the interface cohesiveness and film-forming hole blocking problem among different coatings, difficult guarantee of product quality;
3. the added graphite material has small adhesive force and is easy to peel off, and if the adhesive is used too much, the phenomenon of hole blocking can occur, so that the graphite material is not suitable for practical industrial application;
4. both the microwave heating method and the plasma method belong to the field of high-energy modification, damage to a surface layer structure is easily caused, the specific surface area of the aramid fiber surface is increased, but the lyophilic performance cannot be fundamentally changed, and the method is not suitable for industrial production.

The common para-aramid or meta-aramid has respective advantages, but the disadvantages of the common para-aramid or meta-aramid cannot be fully exerted, so that the existing material needs to be searched or modified, and the new material has the heat resistance of the para-aramid and the solubility of the meta-aramid at the same time, is easy to coat on a diaphragm in a slurry form, and is convenient for industrialization.
The invention is switched in from a modification method to prepare controllable modified slurry, and designs a ceramic supporting layer and a lyophilic aramid fiber surface layer to synergistically enhance the electrochemical performance and the mechanical performance of the diaphragm. Based on the respective advantages and disadvantages of para-aramid and meta-aramid, the invention designs the structure modification of the para-aramid based on meta-aramid resin, thereby endowing the copolymerization modified aramid with excellent heat resistance and good dissolution processing performance, and further providing the copolymerization modified aramid coated lithium ion battery diaphragm which can be continuously produced.

Under the alkaline condition, terephthalic acid preferentially reacts with sodium hydroxide inorganic strong base to be consumed, p-phenylenediamine is added till the weak acid environment, the activity of the terephthalic acid can be ensured, and the terephthalic acid reacts with the p-phenylenediamine to generate a three-dimensional structure at a high molecular chain segment where the meta-aramid fiber is opened. The reaction has violent heat release and needs to be carried out in a low-temperature environment, otherwise, the solution is easy to lose heat, implosion occurs, byproducts are generated, and the like. And after the reaction is finished, adjusting the pH value to be neutral by using the sodium hydroxide solution, thereby preparing the meta-aramid copolymerized modified resin solution. Before modification, the meta-aramid fiber is in a straight-chain structure and has obvious orientation regularity, so that the bonding force between long-chain molecules is weak, and the heat resistance is poor. The modified chain structure is rich, a criss-cross multilayer network structure is presented, the bonding force among molecular chains is improved, the heat resistance of the meta-aramid material is further improved, the meta-aramid copolymerized modified resin has a three-dimensional structure and has excellent lyophilic and liquid retention performances, the porosity of a formed film is high, the uniformity is good, the pore structure is four-way and eight-way, more lithium ion channels can be provided, the improvement of the internal resistance and the rate capability of a battery is facilitated, the improvement of the battery application performance of the modified aramid coating composite diaphragm is facilitated, and the safety performance of the battery is improved.

The hydrophobic organic group mainly comprises unsaturated double bond functional groups, and can perform chemical crosslinking reaction with the modified meta-aramid surface, so that the interface compatibility and the bonding force of the resin and the inorganic filler are further improved, and the cohesive force of the coating and the overall heat resistance of the coating diaphragm are improved.
Preferably, the specific operation of step a is as follows: selecting meta-aramid fiber, firstly adding the sodium hydroxide solution at the temperature of 30-100 ℃ for treatment for 10-120 min, wherein the mass concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 0.1-10%, the using amount of the sodium hydroxide solution is 0.01-1% of the mass percentage of the meta-aramid fiber, then adding powdery terephthalic acid, adjusting the pH to 4.0-5.0, finally cooling to 0-5 ℃, adding the p-phenylenediamine solution with the concentration of 1-20%, rapidly stirring while adding until no new yellow precipitate is generated, and adjusting the pH to 6.0-7.0 by using the sodium hydroxide solution after the completion; the mass ratio of the meta-aramid to the terephthalic acid to the p-phenylenediamine is 10-30: 1.6-2.0: 1.
During the process, the pH value of the solution is monitored by a pH meter. The pH value of the weak acid environment adjusted by terephthalic acid is 4.0-5.0, and the preferable pH value is 4.2-4.8. The final neutralization with sodium hydroxide solution is aimed at removing excess terephthalic acid, but the sodium hydroxide is not preferably in excess.
Preferably, in the step B, the mass ratio of the inorganic nanoparticles to the meta-aramid is 1-10: 1; the inorganic nano particles are spherical or quasi-spherical, have the particle size of 0.05-2.0 microns and comprise one or more of bauxite, boehmite, magnesium hydroxide, alumina, silica, zirconia, magnesia, glass powder and silicate; the coupling agent is KH-570, and the concentration is 0.5 wt% -3 wt%.

The dosage of the modified aramid fiber slurry is 1 wt% -10 wt% of the weight of the solvent, and the dosage of the modified inorganic nano slurry is 1 wt% -20 wt% of the weight of the solvent. If the dosage of the aramid fiber slurry is too high, the high-temperature thermal shrinkage rate of the coating diaphragm is increased and the dimensional stability is reduced due to excessive aramid fiber resin, and meanwhile, the air permeability value of the coating diaphragm is increased and the porosity is reduced; if the dosage of the aramid fiber slurry is too low, the adhesive force of the coating is insufficient if the dosage of the aramid fiber slurry is too small, the powder falling problem exists, the film breaking temperature can also be reduced, and the heat resistance is insufficient. If the use amount of the modified inorganic nano slurry is too high, the proportion of the inorganic nano particles is too high, the powder falling problem exists, the coating is brittle at high temperature, and the heat resistance is reduced; if the dosage of the inorganic nano slurry is too low, the proportion of the inorganic nano particles is too low, the number of the inorganic nano particles used as skeleton nodes is reduced, the high-temperature heat shrinkage rate of the coating diaphragm is increased, the heat-resistant support is insufficient, the safety performance is reduced, and the optimization is not preferable.

Effect example 1
The lithium ion battery separators prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were sampled into square sample blocks each having an area of 15cm × 15cm, and performance tests were performed. Wherein the air permeability test temperature is 25 ℃, the test airflow flow rate is 100cc/s, the pressure is 1.5Kpa, and the air permeability deviation is obtained by analyzing a test group (test points are more than 10) of data; the porosity is calculated by the gram weight and the area of the coating; and the thermal shrinkage and the film breaking temperature are tested by adjusting the oven to the specified temperature, simultaneously baking all the samples for 1.0 hour, and simultaneously taking out the samples for testing. The moisture content is the result of a test carried out with a Karl Fischer moisture meter, Vanton, Switzerland. Static magnitude the coated film surface was tested directly using a multimeter.
The results are as follows:
as can be seen from the data in the table, the air permeability values and the deviation fluctuation and the moisture values of the air permeability values of the diaphragms of the examples 1 to 3 are smaller than those of the diaphragms of the comparative examples 1 to 3, which shows that the diaphragms of the examples 1 to 3 are porous, have higher porosity, good pore-forming uniformity and reduced hydrophilic groups; the membrane rupture temperature and the thermal shrinkage rate of 150 ℃/1 hour of the membranes in the embodiments 1-3 are superior to those in the comparative examples 1-3, and further show that the modified slurry has good heat resistance and stability when being coated on the membranes, the modified inorganic nanoparticles play a role in three-dimensional support and form a network porous structure with the modified aramid fibers, and the composite membrane has the advantages of high membrane rupture temperature, low high-temperature thermal shrinkage rate, good air permeability and good heat resistance.
As can be seen from the comparison of the data of the example and the comparative example 5, the air permeability value and the air permeability deviation of the diaphragm of the example are smaller than those of the comparative example 4, the liquid absorption rate is high, and the difference of the other properties is not large, which indicates that the film-forming aid is beneficial to the porosification of the coating and plays a role of a pore-forming agent. As can be seen from comparison of the data of the examples with the data of comparative example 5, the electrostatic voltage of the examples was smaller than that of comparative example 5, indicating that the antistatic agent can effectively reduce the electrostatic voltage of the separator. The modified composite heat-resistant diaphragm prepared by coating the modified slurry has the advantages of low moisture content, low static electricity and high liquid absorption rate.
