This separator requires storage in a sealed, dry, and ventilated environment away from heat sources to prevent thermal shrinkage and maintain dimensional integrity. It is designed for Li-rich Mn-based batteries and exhibits low thermal shrinkage (1.1% MD, 0.1% TD) with a melting point of 167°C, but improper handling may degrade its performance.
- Storage Environment: Store the separator in a sealed bag under normal or low temperature, dry, and ventilated conditions to avoid moisture absorption and thermal degradation.
- Thermal Shrinkage: Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent longitudinal and transverse shrinkage that exceeds specified limits.
- Mechanical Integrity: Avoid puncturing or tearing during handling as the film has a puncture strength of 167 g and tensile strengths of 158 kg/cm³ (MD) and 414 kg/cm³ (TD).
- Compatibility: Use only in Li-rich Mn-based battery systems; compatibility with electrolytes and other battery chemistries has not been verified.
- Transport Protection: During transportation, protect the separator from rain, sun exposure, and fire to avoid physical damage and thermal exposure.
What are the trade-offs between thermal shrinkage and mechanical strength in the Atomfair dry PP separator for Li-rich Mn-based batteries?
The Atomfair dry PP separator offers exceptional thermal stability with MD shrinkage of only 1.1% and TD shrinkage of 0.1%, which is critical for high-voltage Li-rich Mn-based cells. However, this comes with a puncture strength of 167 g, which is significantly lower than the 722 g of a comparable 20 μm wet-process PE separator, indicating a trade-off between thermal integrity and mechanical robustness.
Why is a dry PP separator specified for Li-rich Mn-based batteries instead of a wet-process PE separator?
Li-rich Mn-based batteries operate at higher voltages and temperatures, requiring a separator with superior thermal stability. The Atomfair dry PP separator has a melting temperature of 167°C and very low longitudinal thermal shrinkage (1.1% MD), whereas wet-process PE separators melt at 135°C and show higher shrinkage (e.g., 1.4% MD for a 20 μm PE separator), making PP the more compatible material for these demanding cell chemistries.
What are the critical storage and handling requirements for the Atomfair dry PP separator to maintain its low thermal shrinkage performance?
The separator must be stored sealed in a dry, ventilated, and low-temperature environment to prevent moisture uptake and thermal degradation that could increase shrinkage beyond the specified 1.1% MD and 0.1% TD. It must also be kept away from fire and heat sources, and protected from sun exposure and rain during transport to preserve its dimensional and mechanical integrity.
This dry-process PP separator for Li-rich Mn-based batteries offers ultra-low transverse thermal shrinkage (0.1%) and a high transverse tensile strength of 414 kg/cm³, providing dimensional stability and mechanical integrity for cell winding. However, its air permeability of 355 s indicates moderate ionic resistance, and strict storage conditions are required to preserve film properties.
Positive
- Ultra-low thermal shrinkage: Longitudinal shrinkage of 1.1% and transverse shrinkage of only 0.1% at elevated temperatures minimize electrode exposure and internal short-circuit risk during battery operation or thermal runaway.
- High transverse tensile strength: A transverse tensile strength of 414 kg/cm³ ensures robust mechanical handling during winding and stacking, reducing the likelihood of edge tearing or deformation in cell assembly.
Trade-offs
- Strict storage and handling: The separator must be sealed and stored in a cool, dry, ventilated environment away from heat sources, moisture, and direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the PP film and maintain consistent performance.
- Higher air permeability value: An air permeability of 355 s indicates greater resistance to electrolyte ion transport compared to thinner wet-process alternatives, which may limit rate capability in high-power applications.
