Problems solved by technology

However, for most membrane materials (such as polyvinylidene fluoride, polyether ether ketone, polysulfone, polyacrylonitrile, polyimide), it is relatively easy to prepare microfiltration membranes by immersion precipitation phase inversion, while the preparation Nanofiltration and below membranes are more difficult
Because for most membrane materials, increasing the concentration of the casting solution is the only way to reduce the pore size, but when the concentration of the casting solution is too high, its fluidity is too poor and it is difficult to coat and form a film
This limits the preparation of porous membranes of nanometer size and below by the immersion precipitation phase inversion method.

Embodiment 1

[0027] 1.8 grams of polyvinylidene fluoride with a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 was dissolved in a mixed solvent of 5 ml DMAC and 5 ml sulfolane, stirred for 12 hours, and the formed polymer solution was spread on a glass plate to form a liquid film. Volatilize the liquid film together with the glass plate on a hot stage at 30°C for 2 hours to remove DMAC. Then the liquid membrane was quickly immersed in 5L of water, and solidified in about 1 minute to form a porous ion-conducting membrane.

[0028] The structure of the membrane is a typical asymmetric porous membrane, which is composed of a dense skin layer and a macroporous support layer. The pore diameter of the membrane skin is about 8-10nm, the porosity is 70%, and the thickness is 20 microns. The macroporous support layer is 40 microns thick, with an average pore size of 5 microns and a porosity of 80%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application of a porous ion-conducting membrane in a lithium-sulfur secondary battery. Background technique [0002] The preparation of porous membranes by immersion precipitation phase inversion technology has important applications in various industrial fields. In the preparation process of porous membranes, the membrane pore size and pore structure have a crucial impact on the performance. There are many ways to control parameters such as pore size and pore structure, including the choice of solvent / non-solvent system, adding pore-forming agents to the casting solution, adding volatile solvents, and adjusting film-forming conditions. Through the regulation of the pore size, the continuous transformation of the membrane pores from the micrometer scale to the nanometer scale and finally to the dense nonporous membrane can be realized. However, for most membrane materials (such as polyvinylidene fluoride, polyether ether k...
