technical field
[One]
The present invention relates to a method and system for evaluating insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of a separator for an electrochemical device reflecting the actual operating state of the electrochemical device.
[2]
This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0126783 on October 14, 2019, and all contents disclosed in the literature of the Korean patent application are incorporated as a part of this specification.
background
[3]
As the price of energy sources increases due to the depletion of fossil fuels and interest in environmental pollution is increased, the demand for eco-friendly alternative energy sources is increasing. In particular, as technology development and demand for mobile devices increase, demand for secondary batteries as an energy source is rapidly increasing. Regarding the shape of the secondary battery, the demand for the pouch-type secondary battery is high in that it can be applied to mobile products such as mobile phones with a thin thickness.
[4]
This pouch-type secondary battery has a structure in which an electrode assembly is embedded in a pouch-type battery case formed of an aluminum laminate sheet. Specifically, in the pouch-type secondary battery, a stack-type or stack-folding-type electrode assembly in which a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode are sequentially stacked is accommodated in the battery case. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are electrically connected to each other by electrode tabs, and the electrode tabs are connected to an electrode lead drawn out. After the electrode assembly to which the electrode tab and the electrode lead are connected is accommodated in a pouch-shaped battery case, electrolyte is injected, and the battery case is sealed with a part of the electrode lead exposed to the outside to assemble a secondary battery.
[5]
Conventionally, in order to evaluate the characteristics of such a separator, insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of the separator itself were measured. Specifically, the dielectric breakdown voltage was measured as a voltage when a current greater than a reference value flows through the separator by sandwiching the separator between the upper jig and the lower jig, and applying a voltage between the two jigs.
[6]
However, with the above-described method, only the characteristics of the separator itself can be measured, and the insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics reflecting the charging and discharging characteristics of the electrode assembly in real time cannot be measured. In an electrochemical device including an electrode assembly, changes in volume and temperature are induced during charging and discharging. These volume and temperature changes act as variables affecting the insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of the separator. Therefore, there is a need for a technology capable of confirming the insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of a separator reflecting the actual use conditions of the electrochemical device.

Modes for carrying out the invention
[26]
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. Prior to this, the terms or words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed as being limited to conventional or dictionary meanings, and the inventor should properly understand the concept of the term in order to best describe his invention. It should be interpreted as meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of ​​the present invention based on the principle that it can be defined as
[27]
The present invention discloses a "method for evaluating insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of a separator for an electrochemical device" or "system", which means measuring the electrical resistance of a separator impregnated in an electrolyte. The charge mobility of the electrolyte is changed according to the permeability or tortuosity of the separator. Therefore, by measuring the electrical resistance of the separator impregnated in the electrolyte, a change in the shape or characteristics of the separator is checked.
[28]
In the present invention, the terms "upper jig" and "lower jig" are meant to encompass a case in which two arms are positioned to face each other, thereby fixing or pressing a measurement object or the like. In the present invention, it is described as "upper jig" and "lower jig" for convenience of description, and includes a case where the two arms are composed of a 'right jig' and a 'left jig' positioned in the direction opposite to each other in the left and right directions. . Therefore, it is possible to replace the "first jig" and the "second jig" according to the position or direction of the jig.
[29]
[30]
The present invention provides a method for evaluating insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of a separator for an electrochemical device. Specifically, the evaluation method may include: a measurement target including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and repeatedly performing charging and discharging of the electrochemical device in a state where the electrochemical device positioned to face the measurement object is sandwiched between the upper jig and the lower jig, and the measurement object while charging and discharging the electrochemical device measuring the electrical resistance of
[31]
In the method for evaluating the insulation and lithium ion conductivity properties of the separator for an electrochemical device according to the present invention, the electrical resistance of the separator is measured by reflecting the physical properties of the separator, such as permeability and tortuosity. When the electrochemical device is charged and discharged in a module or a jig, the pressure state according to swelling is changed. The pressure applied to the electrochemical device is transferred to the separator, and this pressure change affects the physical properties of the separator. In addition, the electrochemical device generates heat during charging and discharging, and this temperature rise also changes the electrical characteristics of the separator.
[32]
In the present invention, the insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of the separator are evaluated in a state where the measurement object and the electrochemical device face each other in a jig. While the evaluation is in progress, the electrochemical device is repeatedly charged and discharged. In the process of charging and discharging the electrochemical device, volume expansion or temperature increase of the device is performed, and the effect is transmitted to the object to be measured. In addition, when the temperature of the battery rises during the charging and discharging process, heat is transferred to the object to be measured. Through this, the method for evaluating the insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of the separator for an electrochemical device according to the present invention has an advantage in that the evaluation proceeds in a state in which an environment suitable for the actual use conditions of the electrochemical device is provided to the measurement target.
[33]
Measurement of insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of a measurement object including a separator may be performed using, for example, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a high frequency region.
[34]
The measurement object is prepared by laminating a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and injecting an electrolyte solution while inserting it into a case. In one embodiment, the measurement object may include: an electrode assembly including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and a pouch-type battery case in which the electrode assembly is accommodated. Furthermore, the measurement object includes a case in which the same structure and shape as the electrochemical device facing the measurement object is assembled. For example, the measurement object may include an electrode assembly including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and a pouch-type battery case in which the electrode assembly is accommodated, wherein the electrolyte is injected into the battery case.
[35]
In another embodiment, while the method for evaluating the insulation and lithium ion conductivity properties of the separator for an electrochemical device is performed, the electrochemical device repeatedly performs charging and discharging, and the measurement object does not perform charging and discharging . That is, the electrochemical device is repeatedly charged and discharged to form actual use conditions for the electrochemical device, and the measurement target evaluates insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of the separator. When charging/discharging is performed on the measurement object, an electrochemical shock may be applied to the measurement object during the charging/discharging process. Such an electrochemical shock acts as another variable in evaluating the insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of the separator, and changes in the state of the electrode active material layer or electrolyte affect the evaluation result.
[36]
In one embodiment, the structure and composition of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the measurement object and the electrochemical device are the same. That is, in a state where two identical electrochemical devices are prepared, one electrochemical device serves to realize actual use conditions, and the other electrochemical device is a measurement object that evaluates the insulation and lithium ion conductivity characteristics of the separator becomes
[37]
In another embodiment, the separator of the electrochemical device has a structure including an inorganic layer formed on one or both surfaces of the separator fabric specimen, and the separator of the object to be measured is formed of a separator fabric specimen, but on both sides of the specimen separately of the structure in which the inorganic layer is not formed. Depending on the type of separator, an inorganic layer may be formed on one or both surfaces of the original fabric of the separator in order to improve the physical properties of the separator. In this case, the inorganic layer formed on the surface of the separator may impart insulating properties to the separator, which may reflect the insulating properties of the inorganic layer, not the insulating properties of the original fabric itself, in the evaluation result. Therefore, when the separator to be evaluated includes an inorganic layer on one or both sides of the separator fabric specimen, it is better to remove the inorganic layer from the separator fabric specimen or to perform the evaluation using a separator fabric in which an inorganic layer is not formed. .
[38]
In the present invention, the evaluation is performed while the measurement object and the electrochemical device are placed between the upper and lower jigs. The role of the upper and lower jigs is to fix the positions of the measurement object and the electrochemical device, and support so that the pressure change according to the volume change generated when the electrochemical device is subjected to a volume change in the charging/discharging process is transmitted to the measurement object plays a role Accordingly, the upper and lower jigs serve to fix a state in which the measurement object and the electrochemical device face each other.
[39]
In another embodiment, the upper and lower jigs press the measurement object and the electrochemical device facing each other. Pressing the measurement object using the upper and lower jigs is to shorten the evaluation time by forming harsh conditions on the measurement object.
