勃姆石纳米片增强锂离子电池隔膜性能研究

采用勃姆石涂覆改性聚烯烃隔膜可以提升锂离子电池的隔膜热稳定性和电解液润湿性。本工作通过简单的水热法合成了平均粒径约为150 nm的勃姆石纳米片, 并采用刮涂法涂覆在聚乙烯(Polyethylene, PE)隔膜表面。该涂覆隔膜的孔隙率达到46.6%、吸液率为138.9%、离子电导率为0.47 mS/cm和锂离子迁移数为0.42, 使得该隔膜组装的锂离子电池具有较好的循环稳定性, 在1C(1C=150 mA/g)的电流密度下循环100次后仍能保留93.7%的放电比容量。同时, 勃姆石纳米片涂覆的隔膜的孔结构分布均匀, 优化了锂离子传输通量, 抑制了锂枝晶。

Boehmite Nanosheets-coated Separator with Enhanced Performance for Lithium-ion Batteries

It has received extensive attention to modify polyolefin separator by boehmite coating for the improvement of thermal stability and electrolyte wettability, but how to affect the electrochemical performance of the boehmite- coated separators is unclear. In this work, boehmite nanosheets with a mean particle size of 150 nm were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, and these nanosheets were coated on the surface of polyethylene (PE) separator by a scraper. The boehmite nanosheet-coated separator has porosity of 46.6%, electrolyte uptake of 138.9%, ionic conductivity of 0.47 mS/cm, and lithium-ion transference number of 0.42. The battery assembled with this separator exhibits good cycling stability, retaining 93.7% discharge specific capacity after 100 cycles at 1C (1C= 150 mA/g). Meanwhile, the boehmite nanosheet-modified separator has a uniformly distributed pore structure, which optimizes the lithium-ion transport flux and suppresses the formation of lithium dendrites.
