Description
본 발명은 코팅층을 포함하는 분리막 및 상기 분리막을 이용한 전지에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a separator comprising a coating layer and a battery using the separator.
전기 화학 전지용 분리막 (separator)은 전지 내에서 양극과 음극을 서로 격리시키면서 이온 전도도를 지속적으로 유지시켜 주어 전지의 충전과 방전이 가능하게 하는 중간막을 의미한다.A separator for an electrochemical cell refers to an interlayer membrane which maintains ion conductivity while allowing the cathode and the cathode to be separated from each other in the cell, thereby allowing the battery to be charged and discharged.
최근 전자 기기의 휴대성을 높이기 위한 전기 화학 전지의 경량화 및 소형화 추세와 더불어, 전기 자동차 등에의 사용을 위한 고출력 대용량 전지를 필요로 하는 경향이 있다. 이에, 전기 화학 전지용 분리막의 경우 그 두께를 얇게 하고 중량을 가볍게 하는 것이 요구되면서도 그와 동시에 고용량 전지의 생산을 위하여 열에 의한 형태 안정성이 우수할 것이 요구된다.In recent years, along with the trend of lightening and miniaturization of electrochemical cells for increasing the portability of electronic devices, there is a tendency to require high output large capacity batteries for use in electric vehicles. Accordingly, in the case of the separator for an electrochemical cell, it is required to reduce the thickness and light weight, and at the same time, it is required to have excellent form stability by heat for the production of a high capacity battery.
특히 분리막의 기재 필름으로 폴리올레핀계를 사용할 경우, 비교적 낮은 온도에서 필름이 멜트 다운 (melt down)되는 문제가 있어 이를 보완하고자 분리막의 내열성을 향상시키려는 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 분리막의 내열성 향상과 관련된 선행 기술로 대한민국 등록특허 제10-0775310호 등은 분리막의 기재 필름에 유기물 및 무기물 혼합 코팅층을 형성시킬 것을 제안하고 있다. 그러나, 상기 선행 기술과 같이 무기물이 포함된 코팅층의 경우 분리막의 내열성은 향상되더라도, 전극과의 접착력이 저하되어 분리막이 전극으로부터 이탈되는 등 전지의 형태 안정성이 나빠지는 문제가 있다.In particular, when a polyolefin-based film is used as the base film of the separator, there is a problem that the film melts down at a relatively low temperature. Therefore, studies to improve the heat resistance of the separator have been conducted to compensate for this problem. As a prior art related to improving the heat resistance of the separator, Korean Patent No. 10-0775310 et al. Proposes to form an organic and inorganic mixed coating layer on a base film of the separator. However, in the case of the coating layer containing the inorganic material as in the prior art, even if the heat resistance of the separator is improved, there is a problem in that the shape stability of the battery is deteriorated such that the adhesion force with the electrode is lowered and the separator is separated from the electrode.
따라서, 분리막의 내열성을 향상시키면서 전극과의 접착력 또한 우수한 코팅층을 포함하는 분리막의 개발이 요구되고 있는 실정이다.Accordingly, there is a demand for development of a separator including a coating layer having excellent adhesion to electrodes while improving heat resistance of the separator.

Within the molecular weight range, there is an advantage in that the battery can be produced in which the electric force output is efficiently due to the electrolyte impregnation of the separator. In the polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer according to an embodiment of the present invention, the content of each of the polyvinylidene fluoride and the hexafluoropropylene is not particularly limited, but for example, Hexafluoropropylene may be contained in an amount of 0.1 to 40% by weight based on the total weight.
본 발명의 또 다른 일 예에 따르면, 제1 코팅층에 포함되는 유기 바인더로서 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드-헥사플루오로프로필렌 코폴리머와 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드 호모폴리머를 혼합하여 사용할 수 있다. 상기 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드 호모폴리머는 중량 평균 분자량이 1,000,000 g/mol 이상인 것을 사용할 수 있으며, 구체적으로, 1,000,000 g/mol 내지 1,200,000 g/mol 인 것을 사용할 수 있다. 상기 분자량 범위 내에서 코팅층과 폴리올레핀계 기재 필름 사이의 접착력이 강화되어 열에 의한 수축을 줄일 수 있고, 코팅층과 전극 사이의 접착력 또한 우수하여 양극과 음극의 단락을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있다. 또한, 상기 분자량 범위 내에서 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드 호모폴리머가 용매에 원활히 용해되어 과량의 고비점 용매가 필요하지 않아 건조시 발생할 수 있는 공정 불량 문제를 방지할 수 있다.According to another example of the present invention, a polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer and a polyvinylidene fluoride homopolymer may be used as an organic binder included in the first coating layer. The polyvinylidene fluoride homopolymer may be used having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000,000 g / mol or more, specifically, it may be used from 1,000,000 g / mol to 1,200,000 g / mol.

본 발명의 일 예에 따르면, 제1 코팅층100 중량부에 대하여, 유기 바인더는 5 내지 50 중량부로 함유될 수 있고, 예를 들어 10 내지 30 중량부로 함유될 수 있다. 상기 범위 내에서 코팅층의 형성력 및 접착력이 우수한 이점이 있다.According to one embodiment of the present invention, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the first coating layer, the organic binder may be contained in 5 to 50 parts by weight, for example 10 to 30 parts by weight. Within the above range, the forming force and the adhesive force of the coating layer are excellent.
제2 코팅층Second coating layer
제2 코팅층은 유기 바인더를 함유하며, 전기 화학 전지에 적용시 전지의 음극에 접착되는 분리막 일면에 형성된다. 제2 코팅층에 포함되는 유기 바인더는 제1 코팅층의 유기 바인더와 상이할 수 있다. 제2 코팅층에 포함되는 유기 바인더로는 예를 들어, 스타이렌-부타디엔 고무(Styrene butadiene rubber, SBR), 카르복시 메틸 셀룰로오스 (Carboxy methyl cellulose, CMC), 폴리 부틸 아크릴 레이트(PolyButyl MethAcrylate, PBMA), 에틸렌 바이닐 아세테이트(Ethylene Vinyl Acrylate, EVA) 등을 들 수 있다. 이들은 단독으로 사용되거나 2 종 이상을 혼합하여 사용될 수 있으며, 예를 들어, 스타이렌-부타디엔 고무를 사용할 수 있다. The second coating layer contains an organic binder and is formed on one surface of the separator that is adhered to the negative electrode of the battery when applied to the electrochemical cell. The organic binder included in the second coating layer may be different from the organic binder of the first coating layer. As the organic binder included in the second coating layer, for example, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), polybutyl acrylate (PBMA), ethylene Vinyl acetate (Ethylene Vinyl Acrylate, EVA) and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof, for example, styrene-butadiene rubber may be used.
본 발명의 또 다른 일 예에 따르면, 제2 코팅층에 유기 바인더로 스타이렌-부타디엔 고무를 포함하여 사용할 때에는 카르복시 메틸 셀룰로오스를 함께 사용할 수 있다. 스타이렌-부타디엔 고무는 수계 (水系) 바인더이기 때문에 단독으로 사용하는 경우 코팅제의 점성이 약해질 수 있으므로, 접착력을 추가로 부여하는 카르복시 메틸 셀룰로오스를 함께 사용하면 코팅제의 점성을 높일 수 있는 이점이 있다.According to another example of the present invention, when the styrene-butadiene rubber is used as the organic binder in the second coating layer, carboxymethyl cellulose may be used together. Since styrene-butadiene rubber is an aqueous binder, when used alone, the viscosity of the coating agent may be weakened. Therefore, the use of carboxy methyl cellulose, which additionally imparts adhesion, may increase the viscosity of the coating agent. .
또한, 상기 제2 코팅층은 필요에 따라 무기 입자를 함유할 수 있으며, 상기 제1 코팅층과 동일하거나 상이한 무기 입자를 사용할 수 있다. 상기 무기 입자는 제2 코팅층 100 중량부에 대하여 50 내지 95 중량부, 구체적으로 70 내지 90 중량부로 포함될 수 있다. In addition, the second coating layer may contain inorganic particles as needed, and may use the same or different inorganic particles as the first coating layer. The inorganic particles may be included in an amount of 50 to 95 parts by weight, specifically 70 to 90 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the second coating layer.

According to an example of the present invention, the adhesion between the second coating layer and the negative electrode of the battery may be 20 gf / cm or more, for example, 20 gf / cm to 50 gf / cm. Within this range, the coating layer and the electrode may be sufficiently strongly bonded to prevent short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. In addition, in the case of using this for the manufacture of high-output large-capacity battery, there is an advantage that can improve the battery safety to extend the life of the battery more.
