Abstract

The present application provides a composite separator, an electrochemical energy storage apparatus, and an electrical apparatus. The composite separator provided in a first aspect of the present application may comprise: a first base film and a second base film; and an anode protection layer located between the first base film and the second base film in a thickness direction of the composite separator, for capturing transition metal ions. The anode protection layer for capturing transition metal ions may be arranged between the first base film and the second base film to prevent the anode protection layer from falling off from an outer surface of the base films during prolonged use, so that the anode protection layer can have more stable anode protection effects in prolonged use of the electrochemical energy storage apparatus, and improve the application performance of the electrochemical energy storage apparatus.

Claims (23)

1. A composite separator, comprising:

a first base film and a second base film; and

an anode protection layer located between the first base film and the second base film in a thickness direction of the composite separator, for capturing transition metal ions, wherein

the anode protection layer comprises a complexing agent and a first oxide nanoparticle, the first oxide nanoparticle being capable of generating lithium oxide and a first elementary substance through a replacement reaction with metal lithium, and

a weight ratio of the complexing agent to the first oxide nanoparticle is from 0.06 to 0.13.

2. The composite separator according to claim 1 , wherein

the complexing agent is selected from at least one of a phosphate complexing agent, a hydroxycarboxylate complexing agent, and an aminocarboxylate complexing agent.

3. The composite separator according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness value of the anode protection layer ranges from 0.5 μm to 8 μm.

4. The composite separator according to claim 1 , wherein the anode protection layer blocks growth of lithium dendrites.

5. The composite separator according to claim 1 , wherein the anode protection layer comprises:

a first sublayer, wherein the complexing agent is distributed in the first sublayer, and the first sublayer captures transition metal ions; and

a second sublayer stacked with the first sublayer, wherein the first oxide nanoparticle is distributed in the second sublayer.

6. The composite separator according to claim 5 , wherein the thickness value of the anode protection layer ranges from 1 μm to 11 μm;

optionally, a thickness ratio of the first sublayer to the second sublayer is 1:2-4; and

optionally, a thickness value of the first sublayer ranges from 0.3 μm to 3.5 μm, and a thickness value of the second sublayer ranges from 0.6 μm to 7 μm.

7. The composite separator according to claim 1 , wherein the first oxide nanoparticle comprises an oxide nanoparticle of at least one of silicon, zirconium, titanium, cadmium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, aluminum, and copper;

optionally, a particle diameter value of the first oxide nanoparticle ranges from 1 nm to 50 nm.

8. An electrochemical energy storage apparatus, comprising the composite separator of claim 1 .

9. An electrochemical energy storage apparatus, comprising:

a cathode electrode sheet;

an anode electrode sheet; and

the composite separator of claim 5 , wherein the first sublayer is arranged closer to the cathode electrode sheet than the second sublayer.

10. An electrical apparatus, comprising the electrochemical energy storage apparatus according to claim 8 .
