The present invention belongs to the technical field of
lithium batteries, and particularly relates to a high-rate
lithium /
carbon monofluoride primary battery electrolyte and its application. By using
sodium salts and / or
potassium salts, the present invention changes the
discharge mechanism of Li / CF x batteries, playing a
dual role in the
ion intercalation reaction mechanism and the
nucleation and growth of
discharge products. Compared with solvated Li + , the
desolvation energy of solvated Na + with the same structure is about 30% lower, which transforms the original
desolvation and intercalation mechanism involving
lithium salts throughout the process into an early reaction between
sodium ions and
fluoride ions, reducing the
reaction energy barrier of the early electrochemical reaction. At the same time, in various solvents, the Stokes
radius of K + is smaller than that of Li + , which means that the
diffusion rate of K + is faster, which can not only reduce polarization but also increase the
ion intercalation rate, achieving good rate performance. Finally, the present invention realizes an increase in the
discharge specific capacity and specific power of the battery, without sacrificing the specific capacity and specific power due to the increase in the
mass of non-active substances.
