Definitions
- thermoplastic fluororesin porous body a method for the production thereof and use of said porous body for producing a battery cell
- the present invention relates to a thermoplastic fluororesin porous body, its method of production and a method of producing a cell.
- the objectives are to offer a thermoplastic fluororesin porous body with outstanding resistance to chemicals, which is light in weight and excellent in terms of mechanical strength and mass transfer properties, together with a method for the production thereof, and a method for producing a cell employing this porous body.
- thermoplastic fluororesins are used for coating materials and for electrical/electronic components, steel pipe linings, chemical plant components and weather- resistant/stain-resistant films, etc.
- fluororesins generally have a high specific gravity and so, in the form of moulded articles, they have the disadvantage of being heavy.

- a Li salt such as LiPF6
- a carbonate solvent Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication Nos 8-507407 and 8-509100.
- the vinylidene fluoride copolymer film swollen with solvent either has insufficient temperature resistance at high temperatures (50°C and above) or the low temperature (0°C and below) characteristics of the cell, such as capacity, tend to be lowered.
- the present invention has been made as a result of research to overcome the disadvantages of conventional PVDF type porous bodies and cell separators, and to obtain a PVDF porous body which is light and has excellent mechanical strength by a physical method, without employing solvents or additives, and also to obtain a battery separator and a cell employing said porous body.
- the present invention is a thermoplastic fluororesin porous body which is characterized in that it comprises a thermoplastic fluororesin containing at least 90 wt% vinylidene fluoride as resin structural units, and has flattened pores of width (minor axis) 0.1 to 3 ⁇ m and length (major axis) 0.5 to 20 ⁇ m; a method of producing a thermoplastic fluororesin porous body which is characterized in that polyvinylidene fluoride is melt extruded in a sheet form or hollow form, after which, having optionally raised the degree of crystallization to at least 40% by heat-treatment, it is cold drawn and numerous flattened fine pores produced, by means of which the apparent specific gravity is made no more than 1.7; a battery separator comprising said porous body, and a method of producing a cell employing same.
- thermoplastic fluororesin is a thermoplastic fluororesin containing at least 90 wt%, and preferably at least 95 wt%, vinylidene fluoride as resin structural units.
- thermoplastic fluororesin may be a copolymer containing other component(s) in a range up to 10 wt%. If the percentage copolymerization exceeds 10 wt%, it is difficult to obtain the porous body of the present invention.
- copolymerizable components there are tetrafluoroethylene, trifluoroethylene, trifluorochloro-ethylene, vinyl fluoride, hexafluoro- propylene, ethylene, perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether and the like.
- This thermoplastic fluororesin is obtained by emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization or other such generally-employed polymerization method, and the MFR value is preferably from 0.1 to 500 g/10 minutes.

- hydrolysis resistance improvers colouring agents (dyes, pigments), antistatic agents, electrical conductors, crystallization nucleating agents, crystallization promoters, plasticizers, ready-slip agents, lubricants, release agents, flame retarders, flame retarding auxiliaries, reinforcing agents, fillers, adhesion aux
- the porous body of the present invention has flattened fine pores of width (minor axis) 0.1 to 3 ⁇ m and length (major axis) 0.5 to 20 ⁇ m. If the size of the fine pores is too small, then it is difficult to achieve a specific gravity reducing effect while, conversely, if it is too large then the filtering effect and the mechanical strength are impaired.
- the width is preferably 0.2 to 2 ⁇ m and length 0.5 to 15 ⁇ m.
- the apparent specific gravity of the porous body of the present invention is preferably no more than 1.7. More preferably, it is no more than 1.6 and no less than 1.2.
- the apparent specific gravity can be lowered further by raising the fine pore size or increasing the number of pores but, not only is this technically difficult, it is also undesirable in terms of the membrane performance and strength.
- the porous body of the present invention is mainly a sheet form or hollow form material.
- “Sheet form material” here encompasses the range from a thick plate (mm order) to a thin film ( ⁇ m order).
- a “hollow form material” means the range from a thick pipe to a fine tube, or a hollow fibre or blown film, etc.
- the porous body of the present invention can be produced by melt extrusion of the thermoplastic fluororesin above its melting point and below its decomposition temperature, then cooling and solidifying, followed by careful cold drawing.
- other methods can also be used such as injection moulding and rotary moulding, etc.
- the draw ratio will depend on the type of resin (percentage copolymerization) and the extrusion and cooling conditions, and will be a factor of from 1.1 to 6, but less than the draw ratio at break, and preferably from 1.2 to 4.
- the drawing may be either uniaxial or biaxial (simultaneous or consecutive) but, in the case of multistage drawing, care is needed because there is a tendency for the shape of the fine pores to be determined for the most part by the conditions in the first stage.
- the porous body of the present invention is not readily obtained by hot drawing.
- the porous body of the present invention can be produced still more readily by performing a heat treatment prior to drawing and thereby raising the degree of crystallization to at least 40%. It is further preferred that the structure be fixed by another heat treatment following the cold drawing.
- the recommended heat treatment temperature is 70 to 155°C, and preferably 100 to 150°C.
- the heat treatment can be conducted in a free state, or alternatively it may be carried out with the shrinkage being restricted, at a fixed length or while being stretched. However, in the stretched state, the percentage stretch should be no more than 10%, and preferably no more than 5%. In short, it is carried out within a range such that the spherulites generated at the time of solidification of the melt are not destroyed, and preferably these are allowed to grow in the state prior to their breakdown and transition to crystallites.
- the tensile strength was the value obtained when the breaking strength of a strip-shaped sample of width cut to 15 mm, measured at an extension rate of 50 mm/min based on a gauge length of 50 mm, was divided by the cross-sectional area prior to extension.
- the tensile elongation refers to the extension at break.
- Vinylidene fluoride homopolymer of MFR 11 was melted at 240°C using a single screw extruder fitted with a 15 cm wide T-die at the tip, and then extruded as a sheet of thickness about 200 ⁇ m onto a cooling drum of surface temperature 20°C. The degree of crystallization of this sheet was 38%. (Hereinafter this is referred to as the base sheet.) This sheet was subjected to uniaxial drawing by a factor of 2.5 between two rolls at room temperature (23°C). The two edges showed slight necking, and a somewhat whitened film of thickness 105 ⁇ m was obtained.
- Example 1 When the base sheet obtained in Example 1 was heat treated at a fixed length for 30 minutes at 130°C, the degree of crystallization became 45%. Film of thickness about 120 ⁇ m obtained by drawing this sheet by a factor of 2.1 at room temperature had an apparent specific gravity of 1.58 and a tensile strength and elongation of 140 MPa and 110%. When viewed under a microscope numerous comparatively uniform, flattened, fine pores of width about 1 ⁇ m and length 5 - 10 ⁇ m were observed. Comparative Example 1
- Example 3 T Comparative Example 2
- Polyvinylidene fluoride Polyvinylidene fluoride
- a positive electrode was obtained in the following manner. 100 parts by weight of LiCoO2, as the positive electrode active material, and 6 parts by weight of graphite, as a conducting agent, were dispersed in N-methylpyrrolidone along with 10 parts by weight of polyvinylidene fluoride as a binder, to form a slurry (paste). This slurry was applied to both faces of aluminium foil of thickness 20 ⁇ m and left for 1 hour at 120°C, after which it was dried under reduced pressure and pressed, and a positive electrode of thickness 175 ⁇ m and width 20 mm obtained.
- LiCoO2 as the positive electrode active material
- graphite as a conducting agent
- a charging/discharging test was carried out by initially charging up to 4.1 V at a current density of 30 mA per 1g of carbon and then discharging down to 2.5 V at the same current density. The second time, and thereafter, charging and discharging were again repeated under the same conditions and the cell evaluated according to the discharge capacity. As a result, the discharge capacity on the 100th cycle was good, being over 60% that on the 10th cycle.
- the porous body of the present invention is useful as a filter or other such filtration material, and as a separation membrane such as separator for a battery, etc. Moreover, it can serve as a base material for membranes with added functionality, by supporting ion-exchange groups or adsorbent materials.
- the porous body of the present invention when applied to lithium cells/batteries, can be used as a separator or as an electrode by complexing with an electrode active material.
- the porous film is impregnated with an electrolyte solution formed by dissolving at least one type of lithium salt selected from LiPF ⁇ , UBF4, UCIO4, LiAsF ⁇ , LiN(CF3SO2)2, UCF3SO3, LiSbF ⁇ and the like, in a suitable solvent (chiefly a carbonate such as ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate or dimethyl carbonate, etc).
- the porous body can be used as a support for a gel electrolyte (polymer gel swollen with a solution containing electrolyte).
- the porous body of the present invention can be used as a separator or electrode support in nickel/ hydrogen batteries, silver/zinc batteries, lead/acid batteries, zinc/air batteries, nickel/cadmium batteries, alkali batteries or zinc bromide batteries, etc.
- the porous body of the present invention is light in weight and outstanding in its mechanical characteristics, and it is valuable for various kinds of filtration materials and for separating membranes, etc.
- the separator when employed as the separator in a lithium cell, etc, since the PVDF is poorly combustible, it forms a battery which is safer than in the case where a polyethylene separator is used.
