Nanocomposite PVDF Membrane for Battery Separator Prepared via Hot Pressing

Original language description

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is one of the materials most commonly used in membrane separators. The structures of pristine PVDF and PVDF nanocomposite films were processed via hot pressing at 140oC, 170oC, and 185oC at a pressure of 2 tons for 15 min. According to a surface investigation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the spherulitic character of the PVDF nanocomposite films was preserved up to a pressing temperatures of 140oC. The cross-sectional SEM images confirmed that higher pressing temperatures (170oC) caused the structures to be compacted into monolithic films, and a pressing temperature of 185 oC caused the melting of the PVDF matrix and its recrystallization into thin films (21-29 μm). An average crystallinity value of 51.5% was calculated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and this decreased as the pressing temperature increased. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements confirmed the presence of a dominant γ phases in the PVDF nanocomposite films, whose nanofillers consisted of vermiculite particles (ZnO_V and ZnO_V_CH) and mixed α + γ phases. The percentage of the electroactive γ phase (approximately 79%) was calculated via a FTIR analysis, and the ratio between the β phase and the α phase was determined from the Raman spectra. A hydrophilic surface with contact angles ranging from 61o to 84o was demonstrated for all the PVDF nanocomposite membranes. The superoleophilic surface was measured using poly(dimethylsiloxane) with contact angles ranging from 4o to 13o, and these angles reached lower values when in contact with sulfur particles.
