Description

Heat-activatable microporous membrane and it application in battery
The right of priority of present patent application is based on two pieces of U.S. Patent applications, and its number of patent application is 10/034,388 and 10/034,494.
The field of the invention
The present invention relates to the production method of a kind of microporous membrane and this microporous membrane.More particularly, the present invention relates to the application of this microporous membrane in battery.Under particular case of the present invention, microporous membrane just is meant the barrier film that is used for battery.
Background of invention
The locomotive that is driven by electric energy for example car, motor bus and truck does not discharge any waste gas in atmosphere, therefore can not pollute environment.The energy that is used for driving this electriclocomotive is a group storage battery.Except battery itself, this secondary battery also comprises the charger that can directly charge with common alternating-current power supply simultaneously.Yet the mileage that present this electriclocomotive can travel after charging is also very limited.Its reason is that not high and its cycle life of the energy density of battery falls short of.Thereby caused the electriclocomotive can not widespread use.In addition, the fast development of radio communication and market is to mobility and high-octane demand, and the transformation and the innovation of battery technology also proposed urgent requirement.
Lithium ion battery has been used to a lot of fields very widely.This is because compare with other rechargeable cell, and its energy density is the highest, and cycle life is the longest and do not have " memory " defective.The early 1990s in last century, release liquid lithium ion battery " LLB " product by the Sony corporation of Japan first hand.In the past during the last ten years, global liquid lithium ion battery market has had considerablely and has developed.Played for the portable electronics power supply liquid lithium ion battery first of the market share of crouching that jumped since in 1997.
The liquid lithium ion battery main products is to adopt the coiling configuration, and wherein battery diaphragm is added between positive pole and the negative plate.The battery diaphragm that is used for liquid lithium ion battery is a kind of micropore shaped polymer film, and this polymkeric substance belongs to the hydrophobic polyolefin class, for example polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or by three layers of polypropylene, polyethylene/polypropylene (PP/PE/PP) be composited (United States Patent (USP) 4,620,956; 5,667,911; 5,691,077).This three stratiforms battery diaphragm is to be produced by U.S. Celgard company, and it is widely used for producing liquid lithium ion battery for many years.
By the liquid electrolyte of the liquid lithium ion battery that replaced by solid polymer electrolyte or gelatinous polymer ionogen, a kind of battery " PLB " of polymer Li-ion that cries is succeeded in developing.And be applied on the portable electronics.The United States Patent (USP) 5,418,091 that people such as Gozdz delivered in May 23 nineteen ninety-five and in the United States Patent (USP) of delivering on March 4th, 1,997 5,607,485, told about a kind of plastic battery.This battery is to form by being placed on battery diaphragm between the positive and negative polarities and then being rolled into one earlier.This battery diaphragm is made up of polymkeric substance and softening agent, and this barrier film itself is not porose.The production process of battery is mainly as follows, and at first process roller-compaction under high temperature and certain pressure extracts softening agent with a kind of volatile organic solvent then.After softening agent was walked by solvent extraction, battery diaphragm and electrode just became porous naturally.Just because of the solvent-extracted step of this arts demand, thereby it might cause environmental pollution, has also increased the production cost of battery simultaneously.In addition, this technology also has special requirement for the current collector material of electrode.Be widely used in the aluminium foil and the Copper Foil of liquid lithium ion battery, they all can not use.And the electrode current collecting body material that this polymer Li-ion battery can adopt must be aluminium net and copper mesh.Therefore the battery cost is enhanced naturally.
Introduced another kind of solid polymer dielectric film in two pieces of United States Patent (USP)s 5,603,982 and 5,609,974 that Sun delivered on February 18th, 1997 and on March 11st, 1997.This solid polymer dielectric film is at first three kinds of polymer monomers to be mixed with lithium salts and organic solvent, makes by polymerization on the throne then.When the battery that assembles and battery case are done last Vacuum Package,, this gelatinous polymer film makes battery on the electrode slice thereby can tightly adhering to.
Yet the lithium salts of patent that is used for Sun is very sensitive to moisture.Therefore the battery production process must carried out under the exsiccant condition very much.For example in the loft drier that is full of nitrogen or argon gas or in kiln, carry out.In fact, do the production cost that nature has just increased battery like this.
In order to reduce cost, the jelly glue polymer battery technology is improved.The technology of this improved is to utilize the electrode slice identical with liquid lithium ion battery.That is to say that positive and negative electrode material separate application is on aluminium foil and Copper Foil.Simultaneously need under drying conditions, not form battery yet.SANYO GS company has developed the jelly glue polymer battery technology that a kind of improved.This production technique adopts electrode slice, barrier film and the liquid electrolyte identical with liquid lithium ion battery.Different is to add a little polymer monomer among liquid electrolyte.This monomer forms gelatin polymer at last after the polymerization in battery case.Though formed gelatin polymer can bond on the electrode, its viscosity is very low so that be easy to separate with electrode slice.Thereby in battery used, the contact interface between battery diaphragm and the electrode was easy to degenerate.
People such as Pendalwar have described another kind of gel polymer lithium ion battery technology in the United States Patent (USP) of delivering on February 10th, 1,998 5,716,421.This technology is used the liquid lithium ion battery electrode slice and the liquid electrolyte of standard.Different is replaces the membranous porous polyolefin barrier film of Celgard  that resembles commonly used with the multi-layer coated battery diaphragm of a kind of process.And this multi-layer coated barrier film is to produce by coating one layer of polymeric at the tow sides of porous polyolefin membrane.Because when coating, polymkeric substance is easy to penetrate membranous micropore and this hole is blocked.Thereby this multi-layer coated porosity of protocnemes that makes reduces.So, so just cause the high electric current charge-discharge performance of battery to reduce.In addition, not this barrier film and electrode bonding not strong, so the quality of battery changes easily.Especially resemble the battery that can be used for electriclocomotive for large size, situation can be more serious.
Summary of the invention
