3+The voltage of lithium metal is 3.4 V relatively, and the theoretical specific capacity of this material is 170 mAh/g.Because LiFePO
4Have that nontoxic, environmental friendliness, raw material source are abundant and cheap, advantages such as cyclicity and Heat stability is good, thereby obtain the application on lithium battery very soon.But LiFePO
4Electrical conductivity be merely 10
-9The S/cm order of magnitude, simultaneously lithium ion is owing to receive that oxygen atom is closely packed closely influences, to lithium ion in charge and discharge process diffusion and transmit unfavorable.At present, to LiFePO
4The research of positive electrode mainly concentrates on the conductance of improving its electronics and ion, is included in the outside good conductive agents such as carbon, metal or conducting polymer of dispersive property that evenly coat of particle, improves the apparent electrical conductivity between particle surface and the particle; Adopt metal ion mixing in granule interior, reduce the conduction level of solid material or cause the ion vacancy, improve the intrinsic conductivity nano materials of material, reduce the electronics of material or the diffusion length of ion.LiFePO
4Common synthetic method high-temperature solid phase reaction method, sol-gel process, solvent-thermal method etc. are arranged.Commercial production adopts high temperature solid phase synthesis more, and still, this method quality stability in building-up process is not easy control, and product need carry out multistep calcination and grinding in order to obtain uniformly.
The development of meltblown fibers production technology and the expansion of product applications have promoted the use of high-performance polymer; To satisfy the special demands of fabrics for industrial use; Little like fibre fineness, high temperature resistant, chemical resistance, good intensity and elasticity, medical product comfort, with the requirements such as security of Food Contact.
Supercritical fluid; Be meant that certain material is in the critical point critical-temperature; More than the critical pressure, have the fluid of the unique rerum natura that is different from liquid or gas, not only have the characteristic of gas but also have the characteristic of liquid; Therefore we can say that supercritical fluid is the 3rd fluid that is present in beyond gas, these two kinds of fluid states of liquid.Supercritical fluid has the density close with liquid, thereby very strong solvent strength is arranged, and has the viscosity close with gas simultaneously, and mobile more much better than liquid, mass tranfer coefficient is also much bigger than liquid.And performances such as the density of fluid, solvent strength and viscosity all can be regulated through the variation of pressure and temperature easily, thereby have wide practical use.Adopt supercritical CO
2Extract and obtain broad research and commercial Application.In Polymer Processing, adopt supercritical CO
2Though few, obtained suitable attention and extensive studies, like supercritical CO
2Polymerisation, employing supercritical CO for medium
2In polymer, add additive, supercritical CO
2Swollen-state polymerization obtains blend and composite, polymer classification, extraction oligomer and solvent, microballoon and fento preparation, crystallization etc.
In the microporous polymer preparation, use supercritical fluid to have the following advantages:
(1) mass tranfer coefficient is high, can reach equilibrium concentration in the short period of time, thereby shorten process time, makes the commercial Application of microporous polymer preparation become possibility.
(2) under uniform temp, use supercritical CO
2Higher equilibrium concentration can be reached, thereby higher cell density and littler cell diameter can be obtained.
(3) can reduce the viscosity of polymer greatly owing to supercritical fluid dissolves in polymer, thereby reduce the flowability that melts and sprays pressure and improve melt.
Through changing the temperature or the pressure of supercritical fluid, can obtain being in the arbitrary density between gaseous state and the liquid state; Near critical point, the minor variations of pressure and temperature can cause the great variety of density.Because viscosity, dielectric constant, diffusion coefficient are all relevant with density with solvability, therefore can regulate the physicochemical properties that pressure and temperature is controlled supercritical fluid easily.The preparation of microporous polymer is mainly based on gas supersaturation method.Basic process is: at first make gases at high pressure (CO
2And N
2) be dissolved in and form the saturated system of polymer/gas in the polymer; Then through pressure drop with (or) temperature rises sharply and makes it to get into hypersaturated state, thereby a large amount of gas nuclear causes simultaneously and increases; Make the microcellular structure typing through methods such as quenchings at last.The improvement of conventional foam plastics physical blowing is technological parameters such as strict control temperature, pressure, time, makes a large amount of gas nuclear energy cause enough simultaneously, and not merger becomes bulla, thereby obtains microcellular structure.Adopt the supersaturation principle to prepare the process of microporous polymer, according to the continuous degree difference of operation mainly contain the method for fractional steps, semi-continuous process and extrude, continuity methods such as injection moulding, rotational moulding.The method of fractional steps and semi-continuous process are determined by the diffusion velocity of gas to polymeric matrix owing to forming the saturated system required time of polymer/gas, thereby length consuming time, can't satisfy industrial needs, are mainly used in theoretical research.And with the actual appearance that melts and sprays the corresponding to continuity method of processing, make micropore LiFePO
4The practical application of/C fibrid becomes possibility.Micropore LiFePO
4The mechanical property of/C fibrid mainly depends on and microcellular structure (comprising: hole dimension, hole density, pore size distribution and hole orientation) and molecular chain orientation.And through optimizing technology, control microcellular structure and molecular chain orientation can obtain the micropore LiFePO of function admirable
4/ C fibrid.
