    The Importance of Lithium Battery Separator Materials

      Lithium batteries have completely changed every field from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, and separators play a crucial role in their performance and safety. Battery separator is one of the materials used in lithium batteries   The battery separator, anode electrode material, cathode electrode material, and electrolyte are the most important lithium-ion battery materials, accounting for approximately 4% of the total cost of lithium-ion battery materials. The lithium battery separator has a large number of tortuous and interconnected micropores, which can ensure the free passage of battery electrolyte ions and form a charging and discharging circuit. Its main function is to isolate the anode and cathode electrodes, preventing battery short circuits.   At the same time, ensure that lithium ions pass through the microporous channels normally during charging and discharging, ensuring the normal operation of the battery. The performance of the battery separator determines the key characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, such as internal resistance, capacity, cycling performance, and charge discharge current density.   At present, the commercialized lithium battery separators mainly include polyethylene (PE) separators, polypropylene (PP) separators, and PE and PP composite multilayer microporous membranes. PE battery separator has high strength and a wide processing range. PP membranes have high porosity, breathability, and mechanical properties. Ordinary 3C batteries mainly use single-layer PE separator or single-layer PP battery separator.   Power batteries generally use PE/PP double-layer battery separators, PP/PP double-layer separators, or PP/PE/PP three-layer separators. However, polyolefin membranes have very obvious drawbacks, such as thermal stability and insufficient wettability of electrolytes, which makes the coating and modification of polyolefin membranes a trend direction. Production process of battery separator   The production process of battery separators is mainly divided into two categories: wet method and dry method. The production process of lithium-ion battery separators includes raw material formula and rapid formula adjustment, microporous preparation technology, and independent design of complete equipment. Among them, microporous preparation technology is the core of lithium-ion battery separator preparation process, which can be divided into dry stretching and wet stretching according to the type of process.   Dry separators have high safety and low cost, and are often used in large lithium iron phosphate power batteries. Due to its thin thickness and high porosity, wet diaphragm has a higher uniformity of pore size and higher permeability. Compared with dry separators, it has certain advantages in mechanical performance, breathability, and physicochemical properties, so it is more widely used in ternary batteries that focus on energy density.   Membrane coating is the ...

    Analysis of Positive Electrode Materials for Sodium Ion Batteries

    1. Layered oxide cathode material Layered oxides  in sodium ion batteries material have inherent cost advantages, not only because these materials can learn from the highly mature solid-state or co precipitation methods commonly used in lithium-ion batteries to achieve low-cost large-scale production, but also because they have a rich selection of active elements. The chemical formula of layered oxide positive electrode materials for sodium ion batteries can be expressed as NaxTMO2 (x ≤ 1, where TM is one or more of the 3D transition metals such as Ni, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, etc.). By studying the coordination environment of sodium ions and the stacking mode of oxygen, layered oxides can be classified into the following categories: 2. Polyanionic positive electrode material Polyanion positive electrodes have better thermal stability and thus better safety, but their biggest drawback is their low electronic conductivity, which prevents them from charging and discharging under high currents, and their specific capacity is low. Therefore, its conductivity is often improved by coating and doping, thereby improving its electrochemical performance. The general formula of polyanionic compounds can be expressed as NaxMy [(XOm) n –] z, where M is an electrically active transition metal and X is a non-metallic element such as P, S, Si, etc. Among them, sodium vanadium phosphate [Na3V2 (PO4) 3] material with NASCON (Na Super ionic conductor) structure has high voltage and specific capacity. 1.3 Prussian Blue Cathode Materials The Prussian blue cathode material has a perovskite like structure and a face centered cubic structure.

    What are the Causes of Excessive Battery Internal Resistance

    In terms of technology:   1. The positive electrode ingredient has too little conductive agent (the conductivity between materials is not good because the conductivity of lithium cobalt itself is very poor) 2. There is too much adhesive for the positive electrode ingredient. (Adhesives are generally polymer materials with strong insulation properties) 3.

  • Improving Battery Safety Technology From the Perspective of Electrolyte

    Improving Battery Safety Technology From the Perspective of Electrolyte

    The electrolyte is in a harsh living environment. It faces the strong reducibility of the negative electrode and the strong oxidation of the positive electrode. Adding flame retardants to make the electrolyte non combustible and reduce its flammability is an effective way to improve the safety of batteries. However, this approach has limited improvement in battery safety, especially when the capacity of commercial batteries exceeds 100 ampere hours, and flame retardants cannot stop them,Because the combustion of batteries is contributed by combustible gases.   During the process of thermal runaway, there are two factors that lead to thermal runaway safety. One contributes to combustible gases, and the other contributes to oxygen and temperature.   The first is combustible gas: Flame retardants can only ensure that the electrolyte is not combustible in a liquid state, but the negative electrode reacts with the electrolyte to produce a large amount of reducing gas, which is flammable and provides a foundation for combustion.   The second is that the exothermic reaction of the battery body provides high temperature. The solid body generates oxygen when heated at around 200 degrees Celsius, and the solid part of the battery provides a high-temperature environment; Combustible gases themselves can burn, and the solid part provides a temperature, which inevitably leads to combustion.   By changing the reaction path between the electrolyte and the negative electrode, reducing the types and quantities of reducing gases, the safety of the battery can be improved from this perspective. In the thermal runaway test, there are three temperatures that represent different physical meanings:   T1 represents the battery entering the self heating stage, where the negative electrode reacts with the electrolyte to form a reducing gas. The reducing gas flows to the positive electrode, attacking the lattice of the positive electrode, causing a phase transition and oxygen release. Oxygen reacts with EC in the electrolyte, causing a temperature increase. Form T2, which is the triggering temperature for thermal runaway. The time spent in the temperature range of T1 and T2 is relatively long, and work can be done from passive protection. The positive and negative poles react violently, forming the highest temperature T3.   Regulation method: 1. Electric regulation: discharge control of the battery. Because the reaction is for electrons, through discharge, electrons are released, and if electrons are not released, reducing gases cannot be generated. 2. Gas regulation: Use intelligent exhaust valves to forcibly exhaust, avoiding crosstalk, accumulation, and combustion. 3. Cooling: Reduce reaction speed. 4. Poisoning agent: Release a poison agent on the composite collector to absorb the gas. 5. Reduce or block the path of combustible gas production. For example, EC free, or reducing the amount of EC electrolyte, such as perfluorinated electrolyt...
