Description

Cellulose membrane rich in nano-pores, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of cellulose membranes, and particularly relates to a cellulose membrane rich in nano-pores, a preparation method and application.
Background
The membrane is a material with selective separation function, and under the action of certain driving force, the separation, purification and concentration of different components can be realized by utilizing the selective separation of the membrane. The membrane technology occupies an irreplaceable position in the fields of battery separators, water treatment, biochemical pharmacy, food manufacturing, petrochemical industry, medical health and the like.
At present, the diaphragm commonly used for the lithium ion battery is a polyolefin diaphragm which has good aperture controllability, high strength and controllable thickness, but the polyolefin diaphragm has poor wettability and high internal resistance, is a derivative from non-renewable petroleum and has high manufacturing cost. In addition, glass fiber separators are also one of the separators commonly used in batteries due to their low internal resistance and high wettability by the electrolyte, but the voids of the glass fiber separators result from the inability to prevent the growth of metal anode dendrites due to the large porosity of the stacked fibers. In addition, the brittleness of the glass material makes the glass fiber diaphragm hard to bear the internal stress caused by the volume change of the electrode in the operation process of the battery, and the glass fiber diaphragm is easy to be penetrated and damaged by the dendrite generated by the electrode, so that the short circuit of the battery is caused, the service life of the battery is shortened, and the manufacturing cost is high.
In addition, the electrolyte of the battery is strongly acidic, the electrolyte of the nickel-metal hydride battery is strongly alkaline, and the side reaction hydrogen evolution reaction in the water-based battery is inevitable, which causes the local pH change of the interface between the electrolyte and the electrode surface. The strong acid and strong base environment can corrode the diaphragm, so an ideal battery diaphragm should have high mechanical strength to resist stress, appropriate pore size to pass ions and block dendrites, good chemical stability in a wide pH window, and excellent hydrophilicity to match the water electrolyte for water-based batteries.
Patent application with publication number CN108448028A discloses a new lithium ion battery diaphragm and a preparation method thereof, which combines a ceramic membrane formed by a nano cellulose membrane and inorganic particles together, improves the strength of the diaphragm, and can hinder the growth of lithium dendrites. However, the hydrophilicity of the separator is not specified, and this determines whether or not the separator is suitable for use in an aqueous battery. In the prior art of the water-based battery separator, the improvement of the hydrophilicity of the water-based battery separator by methods such as coating, molecular chain modification and the like is mostly focused. Patent application No. CN110707268A discloses a novel water-based battery separator made of SiO2Polymers fibrillate and interact to form films, but this is also solving the problem of membrane hydrophilicity. None of these techniques, without exception, have suggested the use of a film structure to increase strength while having the effect of retarding dendrite growth.
The patent application with the publication number of CN108822315B discloses a high-strength transparent hydrophobic cellulose nano-film and a preparation method thereof, and particularly discloses a method for preparing the high-strength transparent hydrophobic cellulose nano-film, wherein natural cellulose is used as a raw material, the cellulose raw material is hydrolyzed by formic acid, and separated cellulose solids are subjected to solvent replacement, mechanical treatment and drying forming in sequence.

In view of the above, it is desirable to develop a battery separator having high mechanical strength and suitable pore size.

3. Alkaline electrochemical test
The sheet cellulose film obtained in example 1 and a conventional water-based battery commercial separator glass fiber (Whatman, GF/a) were assembled as separators into a symmetric battery, respectively: zinc metal/lamellar cellulose membrane/zinc metal, zinc metal/glass fiber/zinc metal, 1M KOH (pH 13.61) solution was used as the electrolyte.
At 0.5mAcm-2And the cycle stability of the two groups of batteries was tested simultaneously under the condition of 0.5 h. And chemical stability of the cellulose film and the glass fiber in a 1M KOH electrolyte was observed, and the results are shown in fig. 5.
FIG. 5 is a graph comparing the cycle performance of the cellulose membrane prepared in example 1 with that of the commercial glass fiber separator of comparative example 1 in an alkaline electrolyte. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the cycle life of the battery using the cellulose film obtained in example 1 as the separator was over 5000h, and the cycle life of the battery using the glass fiber obtained in comparative example 1 as the separator was only 4 h. The cellulose film obtained in example 1 was immersed in a 1M KOH electrolyte and remained intact for several months. The glass fibers of comparative example 1 were immersed in a 1M KOH electrolyte and decomposed within several days.
4. Mechanical Strength test
The cellulose film obtained in example 14 and the commercial separator glass fiber (Whatman, GF/a) for a conventional water-based battery were cut into 10 samples of 2 × 4cm each, the tensile strength of each sample in different states was measured by an electronic dynamic and static fatigue tester (INSTRON E1000) (refer to national standard GB/T1040.3-2006), after the experiment was completed, software was automatically processed to output the tensile strength data of each sample in different states, and the average value of the tensile strength of the sample was used as the tensile strength of the separator.
First, the tensile strengths in the virgin state of the above example 14 and comparative example 1 were respectively tested; then randomly taking 5 samples from the 10 samples of the example 14 and the comparative example 1, soaking the samples in 2M ZnSO4 electrolyte for 24 hours, and testing the tensile strength of the samples according to the method after taking the samples out; finally, the above example 14 and comparative example 1 were subjected to 1000 bending tests, and then the tensile strength was measured according to the above method. The test results are shown in table 1.
Table 1 stress-strain test results
Figure BDA0003524211340000131
As can be seen from table 1, the cellulose film obtained in example 14 exhibited little change in tensile strength in three states (including the original state, after soaking in an electrolyte and bending 1000 times). In contrast, conventional water-based battery commercial separator glass fibers have a significant decrease in tensile strength after soaking and bending, particularly after 1000 bends. In addition, the tensile strength of the cellulose film obtained in example 14 was as high as 81MPa in the virgin state, whereas the commercial separator glass fiber for a conventional water-based battery was only 0.54 MPa.
The cellulose membrane prepared by the method can keep chemical stability, structure stability and battery circulation stability in acidic and alkaline electrolytes, and can remarkably prolong the service life of a battery when being used as a battery diaphragm compared with conventional commercial diaphragm glass fiber of a water-based battery.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
